The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"So, do you still think that the King of Jingyang is innocent and harmless?" Du Ruhui said with a smile: "He just doesn't covet power, but that doesn't mean he has no ability. If someone really doesn't have eyes and offends our Prince, just wait and see, he is not a person without temper."

"He even dares to take money from your Majesty's treasury, and your Majesty has to give it to him. Even if you feel sorry and reluctant, you still give it to him."

"He dares to ask for it, and your Majesty gives it to him, and he dares to accept it." Du Ruhui smiled when he said this.

It seems that he remembered something interesting.

When the Da'an Palace was built, for a long time, your Majesty couldn't stand the word money.

It hurts to hear it.

"Following smart people to do things and learn to be smart is secondary. The main thing is that the smart person you follow must also be a kind person, otherwise, you will be sold out and willing to help others count money."

"So father means that King Jingyang is a kind and smart person?" Du Gou asked curiously.

He once talked about King Jingyang with his friends and colleagues when they were having dinner and drinking privately.

In the past, when the King Jingyang Palace was not as big as it is now, the Palace built an egg-changing workshop in the countryside in order to have income. At that time, people around said that King Jingyang had no ambitions and was only thinking about making money.

After all, he is a county prince, with a salary and rewards from His Majesty. Can't he do something every day?

Even if he reads more and becomes an official in the court, it is much better than having a title of a casual official.

He was good, studying egg transformation and thinking about how to make money on the farm.

No ambition.

After the tea shop was opened and the tea house was built, such remarks were never heard again.

The tea shop was famous throughout Chang'an. Once there was good tea, many people flocked to it. They fought hard but couldn't get the first-class good tea.

Many families sent people to the shop to show their identities and try to get some in advance through the back door, but they couldn't get it.

Good tea is not sold on the market at all. It has to be reserved in advance and has to wait for a long time. When the goods arrived in Chang'an City, the shop sent employees to deliver them one by one according to the order of payment in the book.

They, the Du family, couldn't even get it.

In this way, the Jingyang Palace was very strong. Who dared to say a word behind their back?

It's his ability to develop the industry to such an extent.

Not to mention that there are other industries on the farm besides the tea business.

Now everyone knows that there are so many good things on the farm in Jingyang County.

Even if someone has bad intentions and wants to take advantage of it, I'm afraid the palace will take action just after the action begins.

The tea business of King Jingyang ensures the richness of the palace's treasury, so the palace will certainly not let anyone touch King Jingyang.

In this way, what my father said about working with King Jingyang is a great future.

After Du Gou got a lot of information, he thought about it carefully and understood the deep meaning of his father's doing so.

King Jingyang seems to be indifferent to everything on the surface, just busy with the affairs of his farm, but he has a thousand connections with the palace, the two majesties, the crown prince, and the princes and princesses born from the middle palace.

Your Majesty also needs to rely on the novel things on the farm of King Jingyang to achieve the goal of making the people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty live a prosperous life.

This is the most critical.

"The situation is changing every moment. At least in recent years, you have a better future by staying with King Jingyang and working with him than being a censor." Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty is a kind person and will not treat the meritorious officials who followed him to conquer the world and govern the world unfairly. I also trust Your Majesty. Since the Du family has handed over the salt pond mining industry, Your Majesty can give the Du family such a way, then it must have its unique features. Whether the glory of the Du family can continue to be maintained depends on how we choose. The right to choose is still in our own hands."

"Therefore, your father chose such a path for you. If you walk on this path, you will suffer. Your father still hopes that you can stick to it and don't resent your father."

Du Ruhui was worried that his son could not understand the painstaking efforts of his old father, so today he and Du Gou, father and son, had such a conversation alone in the study.

As Du Ruhui's eldest son, Du Gou is no ordinary person who will inherit the Du family in the future.

How can a person who has been carefully educated by Du Ruhui since childhood be a fool?

"How can a son resent his father? This future of his son is obtained by the Du family with such huge benefits. Even if this road is hard, my son will be happy.I am also happy with it." Du Gou said with a bow.

"It's good that you are willing in your heart. Before going to the manor in Jingyang County, you should also be mentally prepared." Du Ruhui said earnestly: "The King of Jingyang employs people in an unconventional way. Ma Zhou, the chief secretary of his mansion, was once just a retainer of Chang He. When he sent money to the palace, he was favored by the King of Jingyang at first sight and was directly given the position of the chief secretary of the king's mansion. When you go to the manor, you must temporarily forget that you are Du Ruhui's son, forget that you are the heir of the Du family, and treat everything with a normal mind. "

"Yes, son, I understand. "Du Gou responded.

After Du Gou finished chatting with his father, he stayed at home for two more days before changing into ordinary clothes. He only brought two guards with him, came out of Chang'an City, and went straight to the manor.

When he entered the manor, Du Gou was really amazed.

Generally speaking, there were originally two larger manors in Jingyang County, one belonged to the Pei family, and the other belonged to the King of Jingyang. Now, these two manors are all in the hands of the King of Jingyang. People in Chang'an City would not come here for a stroll if they had nothing to do, so they had no idea about the scenery of the manor here.

When he really arrived at the territory here, he saw thousands of people working on the construction site in the manor. When he saw Du Gou working on the farm, he was really shocked.

"This, my dear, there are so many craftsmen on this farm..."

The guards who followed Du Gou here were also stunned.

Except for the imperial court's conscription, river embankment repair or palace repair, other times, I have never seen such a big commotion on anyone's farm.

At this time, Du Gou recalled what his father said, and he admired his father's unique vision even more.

There are thousands of people building a house here, and the court does not care, and even sent officials from the Craftsman Supervisor and the Ministry of Works to help here. His Royal Highness, King Jingyang, has received such an honor.
