"Ahh - Sneeze! - Sneeze! ——" Liu Hong gradually sneezed at Zhu Cihong three times in a row.

I don't know if it's because the temperature is not suitable for just coming back from the south, or what, Liu Hongji has been sneezing again and again for the past two days.

"Brother Liu, this is infected with a cold, isn't your white and black a cure for that cold?" Zhu Cihong said while busy.

The Dongnuan Pavilion was in a mess at this time, there was a chopping board where it should have been placed, and there were a lot of spices thrown on the side of the bottles and cans, such as chili peppers, peppers, cumin powder, salt and oil brushes, and so on.

That's right, Zhu Cihong is learning barbecue.

"How many times have I told you, you have to turn it over while brushing the oil, why do you always forget to brush the oil, look? There's a toast, right? ”

Liu Hong gradually felt a little sorry for the grilled beef, which was the best Kobe tendon meat he brought from Dongying, just such an hour of hard work, Zhu Cihong did not bake well once, and sometimes forgot to put salt, so that he could only eat a mouthful of mushy meat skewers and drink.

Last night was too profligate, so that Liu Hong gradually slept until noon today to recover, thinking that after running in Nanyang for so long, he should also report to the little leader, so after washing and washing, he went to the palace with a piece of beef.

For barbecue Liu Hongjian is quite experienced, high-quality beef and mutton is the foundation, cumin chili powder is the soul, now the two are complete, if there is a master who will roast, it is simply delicious in the world.

Liu Hong gradually hated that iron could not be steel snatched the meat skewers from Zhu Cihong's hands, and motioned for him to wait for white food, holding a pu fan in his left hand, and skillfully turning the oily meat skewers with his right hand.

Fresh beef is naturally kept in the ring space, in order to guard against unexpected needs in the future, his ring is always stocked with a large amount of drinking water and food, and there is no need to worry about spoilage.

"Brother Liu, there is not much soju, leave me an altar of seventy or eighty, after all, it is all the thoughts left by my father." Zhu Cihong was not angry, and sat down to the side and drank soju.

This soju was originally a treasure in his inner pocket, and it was all inherited by the old man Chongzhen, but because of his own negligence, he was deceived by Liu Hongchuan, so that Zhu Cihong had to ask Liu Hongjian for it if he wanted to drink it.

"It's not much, it's not much, it's all drunk up by the water master." Liu Hong waved his hand without a mouth.

Small, you don't know how much good wine you have in your pocket, and you want to beat us for the idea of burning knives.

Zhu Cihong was not angry when he heard this, he gradually took a string of meat from Liu Hong and grinned while eating: "If you don't give it, you won't give it, it's not much, I don't believe that you are willing to give the wine to the soldiers, well, this meat skewer is so delicious!"

It's the first time I've eaten meat skewers! Zhu Cihong drank a little wine and nibbled on a meat skewer.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Liu, people all over the world have been singing praises for you recently, have you heard of it?"

"How could I not know, my ears are almost hearing the cocoon." Liu Hong said disdainfully.

"The day before yesterday, the Department of Communications and the Ministry of Industry handed over a lot of notes to build an ancestral hall for you, but they were all rejected by me, don't be angry, it's useless to build a living ancestral hall for the people and money, so I will make my own opinion." Zhu Cihong glanced at Liu Hong and said.

Although he knew that the initiator was not very angry about this, he was still a little weak-hearted.

"Well, it's good, but it's still not perfect, if someone builds a shrine for us in the future, you can tell them that the shrine doesn't need to be built, if you really want to be grateful to us, just ask them to send the silver over, we prefer silver." Liu Hong gradually said unashamedly.

He didn't know if there was someone behind these things, but he was sure that this wave was definitely driven by someone, so he was not very polite in his words.

"Then there is only a few money, and our Xishan business is a cornucopia! According to the British public, this year's trade volume is more than double that of last year! Zhu Cihong said happily.

At the same time, he is also hinting to Liu Hongjian that Xishan Shanghe has not paid dividends for a long time, and without Liu Hongchuan, the big treasurer, he, the major shareholder, will not be able to share the money.

"Let's wait for the time, the emperor will tell the ministers about the addition of nine tins first." Liu Hong gradually said meaningfully.

As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, every move in the court will be told that he and the courtiers have not violated the river water for two or three years, and it is okay to have one master outside and one inside the master, but his perception tells him that this matter is not so simple.

Why did the courtiers suddenly ask for a reward for him? Is it really to thank him for his contribution to the Ming Dynasty? Hehe!

"Is Brother Liu resentful?" Zhu Cihong's expression was very surprised.

"This plus nine tin is not as simple as saying, although it is a courtesy to the meritorious person, but the steps are extremely cumbersome, I thought that Brother Liu would be tired of this kind of honor except for empty shells." Zhu Cihong explained.

Of course, the minister was surprised by these red tapes, but didn't the emperor think it was strange? Why would a courtier ask for a title for his courtier? The minister thinks that his relationship with them is not so good! Liu Hong snorted softly.

In order to reform the maladministration over the years, he almost offended the nobles, relatives, and courtiers, and over and over again, how could they be so kind.

"Brother Liu, are you thinking too much, the courtiers' evaluation of you is quite pertinent!" Zhu Cihong said disapprenously.

"You can pull it down, as far as your temperament is concerned, how can you face the siege of the ministers in the future, they all eat people and don't spit out bones." Liu Hong said gradually.

Zhu Cihong's personality has changed a lot in recent years, and he vaguely feels that in many ways, Xiao Zhu is looking up to him, and he is no longer the prince he was before.

But most of the time, it's not that you can become an idol by learning idols, such as Zhu Cihong, the two are in different positions and have different environments.

When Liu Hong gradually made his fortune, he was ruthless to the courtiers and nobles, that was because the Ming Dynasty was in troubled times at that time, and if he was peaceful today, he would still engage in this set, plus he was still the identity of the emperor, it is difficult to say whether he can become a Ming monarch after a hundred years, and the possibility of becoming a faint monarch and a tyrant is greater.

"Brother Liu, this is alarmist, why do you think of them so badly, besides, even if I can't fight them, isn't there still Brother Liu?" Zhu Cihong said disapprenously.

"A ruler shall not trust one person, nor be suspicious of a ghost, nor be partial to one person, nor make a courtier one.

You must remember that the ever-changing situation is not separated from its origin, you must always pay attention to the living conditions of the people, understand their demands, as long as you can let them eat enough and dress warmly, you can sit firmly.

This road is not easy to walk, don't be impatient in case of trouble, and always be vigilant, this is your fate.

Also, Your Majesty, Nanyang has been defeated, and my title as regent should also be removed. Liu Hong gradually said meaningfully.
