Ming Dynasty: Zhu Biao's younger brother, the most rebellious son in history

One day, Zhu Kai came to a newly built reservoir and felt very pleased to see the villagers busy pumping water to irrigate the farmland.

"Sir, you are here." A villager said respectfully.

Zhu Kai smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, I am very happy to see you work so hard."

"This is all thanks to you, adults. Without your support, we wouldn't be able to have the good life we ​​have today." The villagers said gratefully.

Zhu Kai waved his hand: "These are what we should do. As long as more people can live a good life, everything is worth it."

At this moment, an old woman took Zhu Kai's hand and said excitedly: "Sir, you are so kind. Since we have this reservoir, we don't have to worry about drought anymore."

After hearing this, Zhu Kai felt warm in his heart and said, "Old man, you are too polite. These are what we should do."

Zhu Kai realized that in addition to agriculture and education, medical care is also an area that needs to be improved. Especially in remote areas, due to the lack of medical resources, many people cannot get timely treatment after getting sick, and even die as a result. Zhu Kai decided to put medical reform on the agenda.

One day, Zhu Kai was handling government affairs in his mansion when he suddenly received a message that a doctor from the south wanted to see him. He put down the documents in his hand and ordered his servants to invite the doctor.

After a while, a middle-aged man was brought to Zhu Kai. He was wearing simple doctor's clothes and his demeanor revealed a calmness.

"Sir, I am a doctor from the south. My surname is Li. I heard that you care about the people's livelihood, so I came to see you." Doctor Li said respectfully.

Zhu Kai smiled and nodded: "Mr. Li, please take a seat. I heard that you have unique medical skills. Could you tell me more about them?"

After sitting down, Doctor Li said, "Thank you very much, sir. In the south, due to the humid climate, many people are prone to rheumatism. I have found a method to treat rheumatism in practice, and the effect is quite good."

After hearing this, Zhu Kai was moved: "Mr. Li, can you teach this treatment method to the doctors in our dynasty?"

"Of course," Dr. Li nodded. "As long as it can help more people, I am willing to teach you everything I know."

Zhu Kai was secretly delighted and decided immediately: "Mr. Li, are you willing to stay in Beijing and help us promote this treatment method?"

Doctor Li thought for a moment and replied, "If you don't mind, I'm willing to stay."

Zhu Kai immediately ordered his servants to arrange accommodation for Dr. Li and decided to take him to see Zhu Yuanzhang the next day.

Zhu Kai and Dr. Li then began to promote the new treatment method nationwide. They first opened several clinics in Beijing to provide free treatment to the people, and the results were remarkable. Soon, the method was promoted throughout the country.

One day, Zhu Kai and Doctor Li came to a village outside the capital, where many people suffered from rheumatism. Zhu Kai personally accompanied Doctor Li to treat the villagers, and was very pleased to see their painful expressions gradually eased.

"Sir, you are really kind-hearted," a villager said gratefully, "Since you came, our illness has improved a lot."

Zhu Kai smiled and said, "This is what we should do. As long as everyone is healthy, we will be satisfied."

At this moment, a young woman walked up to Zhu Kai and said with tears in her eyes, "Sir, can you save my child? He has had a fever for three days."

After hearing this, Zhu Kai immediately asked Dr. Li to check on the child. After some diagnosis and treatment, the child's condition was relieved, and the woman was grateful.

For a long time, due to the corruption of local officials and the imperfection of the judicial system, many innocent people have suffered injustice and have not been able to get a fair verdict. Zhu Kai decided to take action to solve this problem to ensure fairness and justice in the law.

One day, Zhu Kai was handling government affairs in his mansion when he suddenly received an urgent letter from Jiangnan. The letter mentioned that there had been a number of unjust, false and wrong cases in Jiangnan recently, and the people were suffering. After reading the letter, Zhu Kai frowned and immediately decided to go to Jiangnan to investigate the matter in person.

"Sir," Li Wen said, "This matter is of great importance. Do we need to consult Zhu Yuanzhang first?"

Zhu Kai shook his head: "Brother Li, this matter concerns the safety of the people and cannot be delayed. I will go to Jiangnan to find out the truth and then report to Zhu Yuanzhang."

"Your Excellency is wise." Li Wen bowed.

The next day, Zhu Kai took a few of his confidants, disguised as ordinary businessmen, and quietly left the capital and headed for Jiangnan. Along the way, they tried to avoid official roads and took small roads to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

A few days later, the group finally arrived in Jiangnan. Zhu Kai first stayed in an inn, and then began to secretly visit local people to collect clues.

One day, Zhu Kai met an old man in a teahouse, who was sitting alone in a corner and sighing. Zhu Kai walked up to him and asked gently, "Old man, why are you so worried?"

The old man looked up at Zhu Kai and sighed, "Alas, my son has been wrongly imprisoned for three years. I have appealed many times but to no avail, so I had no choice but to come here to kill time."

After hearing this, Zhu Kai felt nervous: "Father-in-law, can you tell me more about your son's situation?"

The old man told the story, and Zhu Kai listened carefully. He felt that things were not simple. He decided to visit the prison in person to find out the truth.

That night, Zhu Kai changed into the jailer's clothes, sneaked into the prison, and found the old man's son. After a conversation, Zhu Kai found that the young man was indeed wronged. He decided to help him clear his name.

"Sir," the young man said gratefully, "if you can really help me clear my name, I am willing to go through fire and water for you."

Zhu Kai smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will do my best."

Back at the inn, Zhu Kai immediately called together several of his confidants to discuss a plan to rescue the young man. After some discussion, they decided to start by collecting evidence and then appeal to higher officials.

A few days later, Zhu Kai took the evidence he had collected and went to the Jiangnan Governor's Office to request an audience with the Governor. After some twists and turns, he finally met the Governor.

"Sir," Zhu Kai said respectfully, "I am an official from the capital, and I have come here to seek justice for this young man."

The governor was slightly stunned after hearing this: "Oh? What evidence do you have?"

Zhu Kai presented the evidence one by one and explained in detail what happened. After listening, the governor nodded and said, "This matter is indeed strange. I will review the case again."

After hearing this, Zhu Kai felt relieved: "Thank you, sir. I will take my leave now."

Back at the inn, Zhu Kai told the young man's father the good news. The old man was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes: "Sir, you are really a living Bodhisattva!" Zhu Kai smiled and said: "This is what we should do. As long as we can clear your son's name, everything is worth it."

One day, Zhu Kai was handling government affairs in his house when he suddenly received news that Wang was coming to visit him. He hurried out to greet her and saw that Wang was in high spirits, obviously in a good mood.

"Madam Wang," Zhu Kai said with a smile, "How are you these days?"

Wang saluted and said, "Thanks to your support, there are many people in the harem who are willing to support your reforms."

Zhu Kai nodded with satisfaction: "Madam, you are so kind. I am very grateful to you."

The two had a great conversation and did not leave until late at night. Looking at Wang's departing back, Zhu Kai felt a warm current in his heart.

One day, Zhu Kai was handling government affairs in his mansion when he suddenly received news that Zhao Ping, president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, was visiting. He put down the documents in his hand and told his servants to invite Zhao Ping.

After a while, an energetic old man was brought to Zhu Kai. He was wearing a luxurious silk robe, and his demeanor revealed the shrewdness and competence unique to a businessman.

"Sir," Zhao Ping bowed, "I am Zhao Ping, the president of the Capital Chamber of Commerce, and I have come to ask for an audience."

Zhu Kai smiled and nodded: "President Zhao, please take a seat. What can I do for you?"

After Zhao Ping sat down, he said, "Thank you, sir. Recently, members of the Chamber of Commerce have reported that due to the imperfect business regulations and collusion between officials and businessmen, many businesses have difficulty operating normally. I hope that you can help us improve this situation."

After hearing this, Zhu Kai was moved: "President Zhao, what you said is indeed an important issue. I am willing to help you, but how to implement it specifically requires further discussion."

"Thank you, sir," Zhao Ping said gratefully, "If you are willing, I can take you to the Chamber of Commerce for a field trip so that you can better understand the local situation."

Zhu Kai thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'm willing to go to the Chamber of Commerce and learn about the situation myself."

The next day, Zhu Kai took several of his confidants and went to the Beijing Chamber of Commerce with Boss Li. Along the way, Boss Li gave a detailed introduction to the operation of the Chamber of Commerce and the difficulties it faced. Zhu Kai listened carefully and had some ideas in his mind.

At the Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Kai witnessed firsthand the unfair treatment suffered by many businesses due to the lack of effective legal protection. He secretly made up his mind to help them solve this problem.

One day, Zhu Kai and Boss Li stopped at a busy market and met a young businessman who was arguing with several officials. Zhu Kai approached and asked about the young businessman's goods, which were seized by officials without reason, causing damage to his business.

"Sir," the young merchant said anxiously, "please be fair and help me."

After hearing this, Zhu Kai felt nervous: "Brother Shangren, don't worry, I will do my best to help you."

After returning to the palace, Zhu Kai immediately summoned the relevant officials and learned the details of the incident. After some investigation, he found that this was indeed an abuse of power, so he decided to take action.

"My Lords," Zhu Kai said at the meeting, "There are obvious violations of law in this case, and I think it is necessary to deal with it seriously."

A few days later, Zhu Kai personally supervised the handling of the officials involved in the case and ensured that the legal rights and interests of the young businessman were protected. When the news came, the young businessman was so excited that he burst into tears: "Sir, you are really our savior!"

Zhu Kai smiled and said, "This is what we should do. As long as we can protect your legal rights, it's all worth it."

One day, Zhu Kai was handling government affairs in his mansion when he suddenly received news that Manager Liu, the largest transport company in the capital, was visiting. He put down the documents in his hand and ordered his servants to invite Manager Liu.

After a while, a shrewd and capable middle-aged man was brought to Zhu Kai. He was wearing simple and elegant clothes, and his demeanor revealed the shrewdness and decisiveness of a businessman.

"Sir," Shopkeeper Liu bowed, "I am Liu Ming, the largest transporter in the capital, and I have come to seek an audience."

Zhu Kai smiled and nodded: "Manager Liu, please take a seat. What can I do for you?"

After sitting down, Manager Liu said, "Thank you, sir. Recently, members of the Chamber of Commerce have reported that due to inconvenient transportation and numerous checkpoints in various places, the cost of transporting goods is high, which seriously affects the circulation of goods. I hope that you can help us improve this situation."

After hearing this, Zhu Kai was moved: "Manager Liu, what you said is indeed an important issue. I am willing to help you, but how to implement it specifically requires further discussion."

"Thank you, sir," Shopkeeper Liu said gratefully, "If you are willing, I can take you to conduct a field investigation so that you can better understand the local conditions."

The next day, Zhu Kai took several of his confidants and went to the main transportation routes around the capital with Manager Liu. Along the way, Manager Liu gave a detailed introduction to the various difficulties encountered during transportation. Zhu Kai listened carefully and had some ideas in his mind.

On a busy road, Zhu Kai witnessed a traffic jam where many transporters were delayed waiting to pass through the checkpoint. He secretly decided to help them solve this problem.

One day, Zhu Kai and Liu, the shopkeeper, stopped at an important checkpoint and met a young transporter who was anxiously waiting to pass through the checkpoint. Zhu Kai approached and asked him about it, and learned that his goods had been detained for several days, causing damage to his business.

"Sir," the young transporter said anxiously, "please be fair and help me."

After hearing this, Zhu Kai felt nervous: "Brother Transport, don't worry, I will do my best to help you."

After returning to the palace, Zhu Kai immediately summoned officials from relevant departments to learn about the incident in detail. After some investigation, he found that it was indeed caused by too many checkpoints and complicated procedures, so he decided to take action.

"My Lords," Zhu Kai said at the meeting, "There are obvious unreasonable aspects in this case. I think it is necessary to simplify the customs clearance procedures."

A few days later, Zhu Kai personally supervised the optimization of the checkpoint process to ensure that the legal rights and interests of the ship workers were protected. When the news came, the young ship workers were so excited that they burst into tears: "Sir, you are really our savior!"

Zhu Kai smiled and said, "This is what we should do. As long as we can help you transport the goods smoothly, it's all worth it."

One day, Zhu Kai was handling government affairs in his mansion when he suddenly received news that a famous craftsman from the capital was coming to visit him. He put down the official documents in his hand and ordered his servants to invite the master.

After a while, a middle-aged man with simple clothes but superb skills was brought to Zhu Kai. He had sharp eyes and was obviously a person with extremely high attainments in his field.

"Sir," the master craftsman bowed, "I am one of the most famous craftsmen in the capital, my name is Zhang the Blacksmith, and I have come to seek an audience."

Zhu Kai smiled and nodded: "Master Zhang, please take a seat. What can I do for you?" (End of this chapter)
