On the other hand, the Liao brothers looked at each other speechlessly.
After all, Zhu Ci 'an was so domineering that anyone who saw him would feel that if he were their own grandson, they would be letting down their ancestors if they didn't strangle him to death.
Finally, the emotions in their hearts overflowed, and the two men who were made of iron burst into tears.
How did the wise and mighty eldest grandson become like this?
What had His Highness experienced all these years?
But…it's good that His Highness is alive, it's good that he's alive!
Not to mention that he's a prodigal, even if he becomes retarded, I'll still protect him for the rest of his life!
At this moment, Zhu Ci 'an had finished venting his anger and saw the two of them. He couldn't help but say,""Old man, who are these two?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,"We've found two guards for you. One is called Liao Da, and the other is called Liao Er."”
The Liao brothers came back to their senses and quickly cupped their fists."Greetings, Young Master!"
Zhu Ci 'an looked at the two burly men in front of him and became interested. He asked,""How many bowls of rice can you eat for a meal?"
The Liao brothers thought for a moment and smiled shyly. They said in unison,"You can eat five bowls of rice per meal. If you don't count the dishes, you can eat ten bowls.”
Zhu Cian was stunned for a moment and exclaimed,""Awesome!"
"Not bad, you are qualified to be my guards.”
"Thank you for your praise, Young Master!"
Remembering that he hadn't had breakfast yet, Zhu Ci 'an said,""Old man, you're here so early. You haven't had breakfast yet, right?”
"I haven't eaten yet."
"Just in time. Let's go eat together!”
"Good, good, good."
The few of them came to the main hall and sat down.
The breakfast in the manor was very simple. After all, Zhu Cian only got up at four o'clock in the morning, so there was only flatbread and porridge on the table. It was a simple meal.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the flatbread, he thought of the question that tested his grandson, Zhu Yunwen.
Therefore, he asked meaningfully,""Zhu Ci 'an, this flatbread is a little cold. How should I heat it up?”
Zhu Cian rolled his eyes at him. Pretentious!
This cheap grandpa, why is he so troublesome when it comes to eating?
He didn't even think about it and immediately retorted," Old man, if you feel cold, I'll take off my pants and pee. I'll water you with warm water."”
The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face instantly froze.
Use…use…use urine to heat it up? Zhu Yuanzhang would never have thought that his grandson would give such a ridiculous answer.
Using urine to heat flatbread, this idea was really a different one. To think that this child could think of it!
However…it was not a bad idea…
At the very least, she was much better than Zhu Yunwen, who had no opinion of her own.
"Great idea, Eldest Sun!" he said with a smile. No wonder he was able to cure the disaster victims in Yanshan. Grandpa felt very gratified!”
"It just so happens that Grandpa has encountered a difficult problem. Why don't Zhu Cian give us some ideas?”
The selection of the Crown Prince was a very important matter. Just this bit of intelligence was not enough. He wanted to see what his grandson had to say about the country's affairs.
Zhu Ci 'an chewed on the flatbread and whimpered,""What is it?"
"The disaster victims of the Henan Province have entered the capital. Although the Imperial Court has issued a decree to relieve the disaster, there has always been a debate about the placement of the refugees.”
"I was thinking…"
"What are you thinking about? Old man, don't tell me you want to take advantage of the national disaster to make a fortune?”
The Liao brothers listened on the side, their hearts pounding.
His Majesty profited from the national disaster…
Wasn't this just him scamming himself?
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened as he retorted,""Child, what are you thinking? Am I the kind of person who would bring disaster to a country and its people?”
Zhu Ci 'an was in disbelief.
This old man is very stubborn. I won't believe you!
He pursed his lips and said," Old man, don't think of me as a fool. You're a businessman and not an official. Why are you so worried about state affairs if you don't want to profit from it?”
"If you say you want to get money, then say you want to get money. Why do you have so many excuses?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched when he saw his grandson's confident look.
Great!
I'm going to be the scapegoat for sure.
"I'm really smart. I can't even hide this from you…" he said helplessly.
Zhu Cian shook his head in disappointment. Grandpa's conscience was really eaten by dogs!
Although this Young Master is full of evil and greedy for money, the people he scammers are all rich and heartless gentlemen. This old fellow is good, he actually wants to scamper disaster victims…
Merchants pursued profits and did not take the country as their foundation. This could be seen from cheap grandpa. No wonder Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, wanted merchants to be the lowest citizen.
But on second thought, forget it, he might as well help the tyrant.
Otherwise, if he didn't take the silver, it would make the old man feel like he was sick again.
So, Zhu Cian glanced at his cheap grandpa and asked,""Old man, tell me first how the imperial court plans to settle the disaster victims. I'll think of a way to give you a business opportunity.”
Since his grandson had already identified him as a black-hearted merchant, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer cared about his reputation.
"I heard from a high-ranking official I know that the court has four plans to settle the refugees during the morning court session today," he said hastily.”
"Open the granaries to release food and distribute porridge to protect the lives of the victims.”
"There are many ruffians and thieves among the refugees. The ministers suggest that Your Majesty mobilize the soldiers of the five cities to assist the bailiffs in suppressing them.”
"Using the disaster victims to treat the disaster victims. We will select people with prestige from the refugees and let these people take charge of the food and provide porridge to the disaster victims. This way, the pressure on the Imperial Court will be reduced a lot, and we can free up our hands to do more things.”
"What do you think of this disaster relief?"
"Stupid! You're so stupid!"
Zhu Ci 'an shook his head." This is why I don't go to court. Otherwise, I would have advised Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, to drag out and behead all the ministers who suggested this!"”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened.
The difficulty of disaster relief had always been a huge problem that could not be avoided in every dynasty.
And these four countermeasures had been decided upon by the ministers after much deliberation. Looking at the many previous dynasties, they were definitely good strategies.
But even I, the emperor, think that this is the best way to relieve the disaster, and my grandson actually called me stupid?
He suppressed his anger and asked subconsciously,""Zhu Ci 'an, why do you say that this plan is stupid?”
"Old man, let me ask you, what is the purpose of the imperial court's disaster relief?”
"In order to solve the disaster of the disaster victims, to let the disaster victims eat and wear warm clothes, to show His Majesty's compassion for the people.”
"But what if your grandson tells you that this is not showing His Majesty's kindness, but instead harming the country?”
What?
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up immediately, his expression changing drastically!
Harm the country?
How could there be any danger in a strategy to plan for the country?
Was this brat looking for a beating?
The Liao brothers trembled in fear when they saw the Emperor's anger.
