After Yan Pingnan laughed, Gu Zizhong only left him a cup of tea and let him wait on the side alone.

She said she had something to do when she went back to the house, and then said she would come right away.

As a result, this "immediately" was "immediately" for two hours.

Yan Pingnan was originally a guest and waited in the hall of the Zhu family for an afternoon.

This kind of waiting makes people's moods disappear.

Yan Pingnan finished buttoning his nails, and the master hadn't come yet.

He waited impatiently and got up and said he was leaving.

At this time, Zhu Changxi came forward.

Gu Zizhong's task was completed, and he went back to the backyard to see that Qing'er and his second son were playing happily.

Naturally, she is also very happy as a mother.

Tang Xiannan is also there, and Xiao Tangning and Lian'er are all there.

A few children were having fun together.

Gu Zizhong and Tang Xiannan also went to the main room, drank some hot tea, ate two snacks, and took a break.

Gu Zizhong was also tired, and he just didn't want to worry about the Zhu family's affairs.

Tang Xiannan could see her thoughts at a glance, and she broke her mind with one word.

Gu Zizhong was speechless by Sister Tang, and her face turned red.

Tang Xiannan smiled: "I know, Zhu Shizi's recent expenses are a bit too much. ”

A bit too much?

That's not a lot, that's quite a lot!

If you feed the 30,000 people in the barracks as cattle every day, you won't be able to spend all the 100,000 taels of silver.

Gu Zizhong wondered if Brother Zishan had used the money to engage in a side business.

She said to Tang Xiannan seriously: "Since the last time Brother Zishan came back from Shandong, his whole person seems to be getting more and more squirming. ”

Tang Xiannan didn't think so, Zhu Changxi was originally a descendant of the Zhu family, and it was normal for people to have a lot of capital, so it was normal to be embarrassed.

Gu Zizhong's emotions were provoked, but Tang Xiannan was halfway through his words and didn't say anything further.

Isn't this an appetite for hanging?

Gu Zizhong was in a hurry.

Tang Xiannan thought about it, and finally said in a low voice: "Sister Gu, let me tell you something, don't say it outside." ”

Gu Zizhong opened his two big eyes ignorantly, staring at Sister Tang.

Tang Xiannan thought for a while and said, "The tax money of the Jiangnan fathers has been transferred to the imperial court since September. ”

Oh!

Gu Zizhong seemed to understand.

The Gu family didn't say anything either, alas, anyway, Gu Zizhong and the Gu family were also quite unhappy, so it was understandable that Gu Zizhong didn't know about this matter.

However, when did the imperial court start collecting taxes directly from Jiangnan?

Isn't this the Jinling Zhu family in the air?

Gu Zizhong was still somewhat unhappy.

Tang Xiannan saw her thoughts, and without waiting for her to ask, she continued: "From September to December, the imperial court has collected taxes and silver for four months. That's why the treasury has silver, so Zhu Shizi can receive the reward silver. ”

Oh, no wonder, Gu Zizhong also said, the little emperor is famous for picking the door.

However, the treasury is empty, and the emperor should pick the door.

The current Ming Dynasty is different, and the treasury has become rich.

Rich, quite rich!

The little emperor also has the capital to reward meritorious ministers.

No wonder.

Gu Zizhong was still surprised and happy, and he was surprised: "Anyway, the Jiangnan fathers didn't give us any more silver, and we didn't know anything about their situation." ”

Tang Xiannan's face began to change.

Gu Zizhong hurriedly said guiltily: "It's been many times, but I've been cheeky enough to ask Jiangnan Father for silver taels. So I Gu Zizhong owes Jiangnan's father a great favor. I owe it to all Jiangnan people. ”

Don't say that, it's so sad.

Tang Xiannan was immediately moved: "Sister Zizhong, I didn't say you. That's what I want to say. Now Jiangnan has paid the silver directly to the imperial court. Every month, the household department will send people to Jiangnan to collect tax money. So the Jinling Zhu family is also relaxed. This time, the imperial court collected tax silver, and it must give the Zhu family in Jinling silver every year. ”

That's true!

It's only been a few days, and the court has already rewarded Brother Zishan with a lot of silver.

Gu Zizhong, as a housewife, had to advocate saving some flowers.

Isn't firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea all money?

Brother Zishan is good, he made a big move all of a sudden, making it as rich as he is.

His pomp and circumstance are even more magnificent than Shen Wansan.

Gu Zizhong is not easy to ask, every time he asks, he is reprimanded by Brother Zishan.

Tang Xiannan's purpose of coming has also been achieved, she is here to explain the situation.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Tang Xiannan is ready to leave.

Gu Zizhong got up and went to send it off.

After she sent Tang Xiannan away, Zhu Changxi also sent Yan Pingnan away.

The husband and wife returned to the room, and everyone looked awkward.

Anyway, you just can't face to face.

Gu Zizhong pretended to clean up the books on the table, but asked intentionally or unintentionally, "What did Yan Pingnan talk to you about today?"

Zhu Changxi said: "Yan Pingnan came to laugh at me, saying that I couldn't hide the money, and suddenly asked me to stop." ”

Listening to his tone, he still looked unhappy.

He's not happy anymore?

The money has been spent by him, what else is he not happy about?

Zhu Changxi said bluntly: "Zizhong, why don't you understand me? Why did the emperor suddenly reward me with so much money? Why did my father say nothing about this? I, a general, hold so much silver in my hand, it is tantamount to holding a charcoal fire in my hand, and the charcoal fire burns my hand, and it may burn my body at any moment." ”

Gu Zizhong was stunned again.

Brother Zishan said this, it's so tongue-twisting.

Zhu Changxi smiled bitterly and said, "If I don't spend it quickly, all this silver will be dangerous in the future." I know what you mean, don't you just want to use this money for military pay?"

Gu Zizhong turned his head and looked at him fixedly.

It's as if Brother Zishan has seen through everything.

His deep appearance conquered Gu Zizhong's heart.

Gu Zizhong really wanted to hear what he thought.

Zhu Changxi told her: "The emperor has taken control of Jiangnan, and the economic lifeline has returned to the hands of the imperial court." Tobe is now wealthy again. And our local vassal king, the Zhu family of Jinling, may run out of food at any time. ”

The imperial court played tricks and never gave the Jinling Zhu family silver.

And the Zhu family in Jinling will be able to eat the grain of the Jiangnan fathers.

Now that the grain in Jiangnan is not eaten, what else can the Zhu family in Jinling eat?

Only the honest ones should listen to the words of the imperial court for everything.

The little emperor gave him money just to see what he planned.

Zhu Changxi squandered all the silver, and he also had a handle in the little emperor.

Look, Zhu Changxi, this kid is not omnipotent, he is also a mortal, he is also lustful, wealthy, and face-saving.

Now the little emperor was much more relieved.

Zhu Changxi was trying to hand over the Jinling Barracks to the imperial court.
