"Grandpa Gao, I need to pee!" Little Zhu suddenly shouted, looking very unhappy. "I can't hold it in anymore!"

Old Zhu was laughing heartily, but Zhu Yunying was both amused and exasperated. His chubby son really couldn't hold it in any longer and immediately took care of it, probably because he couldn't remember what he was doing when he couldn't hold it in any longer.

Little Zhu stood proudly on the shore, showing off his little bird, while Old Zhu, being very accommodating, coaxed Little Zhu, beaming with joy.

Little Zhu was truly proud of himself. In the harem and in the 'court,' he was often intentionally or unintentionally dragged out for display. In fact, Little Zhu had received similar treatment before. Little Zhu was innocent and didn't care, but Little Zhu was ashamed and indignant to the point of wanting to die, yet he could only be forced to walk his bird around time and time again.

To discourage some of the concubines in the harem, the eldest grandson of the emperor needs to show off. To reassure the civil and military officials, during the grand banquet, either Emperor Zhu or Empress Ma will help the young Zhu urinate; whether he can urinate or not doesn't matter, as long as everyone sees him urinate...

The dragon-slaying hero, Xiao Zhu, has actually changed. After his chubby son was born, he intentionally or unintentionally let the little Zhu walk around with his birds, which put people at ease. Regardless of the foundation of the country, it also proved that Xiao Zhu's health was fine and there was no need to worry about the succession to the throne.

After discussing some matters with Lao Zhu and taking a relaxing bath, Zhu Yunying was quite satisfied and genuinely felt comfortable.

He had originally planned to return to the East Palace to rest, but that was just a thought. He had only just brought up the concept of a bank, and Old Zhu was already thinking about it. He needed to ask about it carefully to truly feel at ease.

In fact, Zhu Yunying understood that the reason why Old Zhu stopped the topic while taking a bath was partly because Zhu Yunzhu was present. Old Zhu allowed Zhu Yunzhu to hear some things, but he would never allow Zhu Yunzhu to hear too many things.

This wouldn't surprise Zhu Yunying at all; let's just go to the Qianqing Palace. We can discuss and talk more, and once we have a general framework, we can then bring it up for discussion in the court.

Although it may seem that the Ming Dynasty lacked economists, this is only relative. Did they really think that the people in the Ministry of Revenue were only good at classical Chinese? They were quite accomplished in the field of economics and deserved Zhu Yunying's trust. They should have also improved the banking system.

For Emperor Zhu Yunying, most of the time he would just propose some plans, but he didn't really need to do the actual implementation.

Even if he was a workaholic emperor with a strong desire for control, it was definitely not Zhu Yunying's personality trait to do everything personally, and he would not do things that were not essential.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally had a comprehensive view of the situation, formulated strategies, and made plans. He was not a minister, much less a lowly official. An emperor could not do the work of a county magistrate; that would not bring peace to the country, but only chaos.

He explained his plans and understanding of the bank to Lao Zhu in detail, further highlighting the bank's advantages, and naturally including his own preventative measures.

Although Lao Zhu is still somewhat hesitant and genuinely worried about such an unknown thing, he seems quite interested and feels that this bank might actually be of some use.

It's perfectly normal to chat until late at night, but Zhu Yunying felt that he had just closed his eyes to rest when he needed to get up and prepare for the morning court session.

It seems that he can only take a nap after court. As a diligent emperor, Zhu Yunying would not normally skip morning court sessions, nor does he intend to follow the example of some Taoist emperors who do not attend court for decades.

Even if that guy is skilled in political maneuvering, he won't do much good for the stability of the Ming Dynasty or the development of the country.

Zhu Yunying should just go to court obediently; that's what he should be doing, and that's the attitude a mature and responsible emperor should have.

Zhu Yunying considered himself a fairly hardworking emperor, and so he prepared to go to court.

Although there don't seem to be many major events happening recently, it definitely doesn't mean that Joo Yoon-young can be idle. In fact, in Joo Yoon-young's view, this period is quite important and definitely not easy.

Ultimately, he was preparing to implement new policies, which was no easy task. Even as emperor with absolute power, he would still encounter resistance.
