Father can be an enemy to the country

Do you want to be with His Highness? Han Yike asked, Will you be appointed as a royal official instead?

Of course not. I don't even have a palace now. Isn't asking you to be a palace official a trick on you? Lao Liu shook his head and smiled.

... Luo Guanzhong didn't like hearing this. Are his feelings trying to trick me?

That is?

My father asked me to reopen the Shipping Department and take full responsibility for all matters. Zhu Zhen looked at Han Yike with bright eyes and said, Are you interested in promoting the Shipping Department?

Do you want to be promoted by Shibo? Han Yike touched his neatly trimmed lips and moustache and fell into deep thought.

He is from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and is in the same neighborhood as Ningbo. He is no stranger to Shibosi. He knows what this yamen does and why it cannot be opened.

It seems that senior brother is not an outsider. Seeing his constipated look, Zhu Zhen praised him and said without hesitation: You must be the one to be promoted to the position of Chief Shipping Officer!

I haven't agreed yet... Han Yike said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: Your Highness's kindness is appreciated, but the job of the Shipping Department is really beyond my ability. I can't do it, I really can't do it. Your Highness should hire someone else.

Hey, you haven't done it yet, how can you say you can't do it? Zhu Zhen is not that easy to talk to.

It's important for people to be self-aware. There are some things that you know you can't do without even trying. Han Yike said speechlessly, It's like I know that I can't have a child without even trying.

No, you are wrong. Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said: I'm not saying you can have children. What I mean is that you have to do some things if you can't do them well. Lu Youyou said, What you get on paper will eventually make you feel shallow. , You must know how to do it. This is true for learning, and it is also true for doing things. Sometimes, if you don’t try it yourself, how can you know the depth of the water? If you don’t make mistakes, how can you know how to correct them. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes, be brave enough to make mistakes, and then actively correct them. Learn lessons and finally get on the right path.”

Luo Guanzhong's eyes lit up after hearing these words, and he couldn't help but look at this young highness again.

Although he didn't say it, he had been thinking about Shibosi's way to break the situation. But after thinking about it, he felt like a tiger eating the sky and having nowhere to eat. It is really difficult to break through the fine and overwhelming network that has been compiled.

But His Highness the King of Chu said, start working first and then talk about it. If you encounter difficulties, just solve them.

This may be the difference between a talkative writer and a practical person...

... Han Yike also looked at Lao Liu with admiration and said: No wonder the teacher praised His Highness... in the letter. It turns out that Your Highness is really extraordinary. But why must it be me?

Because you are my senior brother, I can only trust you. Zhu Zhen smiled and said: This time we are challenging an unprecedentedly large group. Without the help of a strong general like senior brother, how can we win?

I am alone, and I am alone. Han Yike shook his head and said: It is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. A good tiger cannot fight against a pack of wolves, not to mention what kind of tiger am I?

I won't let you fight alone. Zhu Zhen smiled and said: I have assigned you a group of elite soldiers and generals. First of all, the Chaohu Navy will be transferred to the City Shipping Division fleet, responsible for escorting the City Shipping Division.

Yes. Han Yike's expression calmed down slightly, and he didn't panic since he had soldiers in his hands.

Secondly, do you know Wang Dayuan? Zhu Zhen asked.

I have never met him, but I have read his Daoyizhi, Han Yike said, This person has an unusual understanding of overseas situations.

He has joined the Ship Division and will be at your disposal in the future. Zhu Zhen said with a smile: In addition, I will lend you your precious land and temporarily recruit two helpers for you.

After saying that, he glanced at his eldest cousin, and Hu Xian turned around and went out. After a while, two well-dressed middle-aged men with weathered faces came in.

Caomin Shen Rong, pays homage to His Highness the King of Chu.

Gu Yuanchen, a common man, pays homage to His Highness the King of Chu. After the introduction, the two people quickly bowed respectfully and bowed four times.

Sit down. Zhu Zhen sat upright, nodded slightly, and then asked Han Yike, Does senior brother know these two?

How could you not know? The heir to the famous Shen Wansan, Duke Shen of Zhouzhuang, and the head of the Gu family in Taicang are disrespectful and disrespectful. Han Yike's words were not sarcastic. In those days in Jiangnan, his Han family was compared with these two families. , it is simply a small thing that makes a big difference.

They still have an identity, do you understand? Zhu Zhen asked again.

Of course I know, they are the two largest among the six large merchants. Han Yike said with emotion: Needless to say, the Shen family, I have seen the Gu family's fleet when I was a child, and it can only be described as covering the sky.

It's all in the past... The two former bosses shook their heads solemnly and said, We are just ordinary Fengyang people now, and we have nothing.

Oh, I haven't thanked His Highness and Han Qingtian for their help. The two said, and then quickly kowtowed to Zhu Zhen and Han Yike: No, you two, we are still working hard on the construction site in Zhongdu City.

He wouldn't have survived until now. He would have died of exhaustion long ago. Shen Rong added.

Hahaha, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years. Zhu Zhen said to Han Yike, I'm afraid we'll rip them off.

Understandable. Han Yike smiled bitterly.

You two stand up and talk. Don't worry, I don't care about your family wealth. What I value is you two. Zhu Zhen said.

Ah... Shen Rong and Gu Yuanchen asked in confusion: We two bad old men, what is it that His Highness values?

I want to reopen the Shibo Division. Zhu Zhen said solemnly: I need your participation. Under the leadership of my senior brother, I can restore the Shibo Division to its former glory!

... Han Yike's lips moved, trying to say that I haven't agreed yet. But in this situation, how could I say this? Isn't that causing trouble for His Highness?

Your Highness, the two of them did not agree immediately, but replied cautiously: Since our family was moved to Fengyang, we have been kicked out by the big families who stayed in Jiangnan. Now overseas trade has nothing to do with us. Now, it’s completely another group of people running the business.”

That's it. Zhu Zhen's round eyes were so bright that he stared at the two of them closely and said, It seems that the relationship between the two of you and the Jiangnan fellows is already very unhappy.

In fact, Shen Liu Niang had already told him about this matter. That's exactly why he uses two. If they didn't have any conflicts with the Jiangnan fellows, he wouldn't dare to use it.

It's nothing. It's normal for people to leave and enjoy the cold tea. The world is hot and cold. Gu Yuanchen said while suppressing his anger.

They look so ugly when they eat. Shen Rong was more honest. Maybe we thought we could never go back, so we didn't have any room to do anything. They openly robbed and plundered, carving up all the property accumulated by generations of my Shen family!

That's it... Zhu Zhen was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

Then I will give you a chance now. Are you willing to give it a try? It's not to prove how great you are, but to tell them that you must get back what you have lost!
