Lu Xun?

Zhu Gaochi racked his brains, he really didn't remember that there was such a scholar in history, but he was lonely and unheard, after all, Dusk was the nephew of Huang Guan, the three-yuan champion.

Probably read no less books than he did.

He asked very gratefully: "Then how does Commander Huang plan to help with the compilation of books and going to the West?" ”

Zhu Gaochi was actually very worried.

The two things of compiling books and going to the West, judging from the various behaviors of his father, this is something that must not be stopped, and Zhu Gaochi really has no choice, and if he can't get money, these two major events will not be able to be carried out as scheduled.

If twilight helps, it's not the icing on the cake, it's a charcoal in the snow.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Gaochi was filled with emotion.

Knowing this, Huang commanded you to scold me again, no matter how you scold, I will never fight back.

Dusk said: "At present, I can take out 50,000 taels of silver, and I can send it over today, whether to send it to the palace or to the household department, His Royal Highness decides for himself, but I have one request: special funds." ”

This money can only be used to compile books and prepare for going to the West.

The former is its own name.

The latter is its own benefit.

While contributing to the country and history, I, Huang, also want to make some benefits, I can't let the horses run, and don't give the horses grass, it's unreasonable.

Fifty thousand taels?!

Zhu Gaochi gasped.

Coupled with the 30,000 taels of treasure money promised before dusk, this is 80,000 taels - what kind of concept is 80,000 taels, this year, because of the war, if the national tax is good, except for local retention, it will be more than 10 million taels to receive from the national treasury.

At dusk, one person took 80,000 taels!

That's a lot of money.

If Dusk keeps this money, even if he doesn't continue to be an official, he will not have to worry about eating and drinking in this life, the next life, and even his children and grandchildren for several lifetimes.

Seeing Zhu Gaochi's expression at dusk, he was a little surprised.

Hasn't Zhu Gaochi seen the world?

A mere 50,000 taels of silver......

Converted into the purchasing power of RMB, it is only more than 35 million, drizzle.

In fact, he was mistaken.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, because of the chaos of the tax system, coupled with several wars, especially the five pro-levies during the Yongle period, the country was actually very poor, not to mention that Zhu Di moved the capital again, which led to the prosperity of Yongle and the rule of Renxuan, which was the prosperity of the people.

The royal family of the Ming Dynasty in recent years was actually poor.

Of course, the so-called poverty is also relative.

After the death of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, the upper echelons of society slowly became rich - the very rich kind.

Otherwise, Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng could come up with so much money?

Moreover, the conversion of dusk into more than 35 million yuan, measured only by the price of rice, to obtain the exchange of silver and renminbi, in fact, the purchasing power of these 50,000 taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty was definitely more than 35 million yuan.

Dusk coughed, waking Zhu Gaochi up.

The prince of the Ming Dynasty immediately got up and gave a deep salute to Dusk, "In this way, I will thank Commander Huang on behalf of the people of the world." ”

Dusk hehehe.

Zhu Gaochi sat down again, his expression was very excited, and asked: "I have a question, on the side of the Times Commercial Bank, in fact, I have always been concerned, Commander Huang is absolutely impossible to come up with 50,000 taels of gold and silver, this money belongs to the Duke of Qi and the Duke of Chengguo?" ”

This is important.

Dusk was dark, knowing that His Royal Highness was thinking wrong, thinking that the Duke of Qi and the Duke of Cheng Guo were using their own side to save the country to support him to become the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

poured a basin of cold water, "Your Highness thinks too much, this money is indeed from Duke Cheng Guo and Duke Qi Guo, but this money is not given by them for nothing, His Royal Highness should know the artifact on the Weichen Mansion that can make the night as bright as day." ”

Zhu Gao shook his head, "I've heard it for a long time, and the talent of Huang's command is really amazing." ”

This sycophant ......

It's cool.

Dusk was a little proud, "Your Majesty and the queen also want to arrange such artifacts in the Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, because the treasury is empty after the war, Your Majesty is distressed about the money, so you don't want it, but His Royal Highness the Second Prince is filial piety, after learning about this, because he is far away in Fujian, so he asked the Duke of Qi and the Duke of Chengguo to work on his behalf, and paid for the purchase of two artifacts. And the Duke of Qi and the Duke of Cheng are extremely noble, and the two princes also want to place such artifacts in the mansion, which is a deposit of 20,000 taels. ”

Zhu Gaochi's face remained unchanged, and he was very disappointed in his heart, and even a little desperate.

Sure enough, I thought too much.

The second brother did this, and when his father returned from Shuntian, he came to the Qianqing Palace to take a look, yo, it was as bright as day, and then asked, it turned out to be the second child's filial piety, what do you think the father would think?

Dusk secretly thought, I can't let Zhu Gaochi lose confidence, the prince still has to fight, if he doesn't fight, how can he take advantage of the troubled waters to fish, so he smiled: "Your Highness don't have to worry about these things, the prince of the country, how can you decide the future with one or two filial piety gifts, you do your part, it's enough." ”

Zhu Gaochi's spirit was lifted again.

He didn't realize at all that the conversation between today and dusk had been completely controlled by dusk, and it wasn't that Zhu Gaochi was incompetent, but he was really no match for someone with God's vision.

Zhu Gaochi, who was much more relieved, asked: "Regarding the matter of the envoy Jiaozhi, my father made a special order, which obviously attaches great importance to this matter, which can have deep meaning, and I also ask Commander Huang to give advice." ”

Dusk pondered for a while.

There is no question of unilateral interests in the formation of the Shenji Battalion, it is aimed at the future of the Ming Dynasty, and the two brothers Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu will agree with both hands on this matter.

So he said: "Do you know why the pro-conquest is over?" ”

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while: "One is that the treasury has no money, the other is that the father and the emperor are sympathetic to the army and the people, and third, it is probably difficult to take the Tatar for a while, so it is better to accept it when it is good." ”

Dusk nodded, "This is the situation you saw in Yingtian, and I saw not these in Yumuchuan, what I saw was the arrogance of the Tatar cavalry, and the incompetence of the Ming cavalry." ”

Zhu Gaochi suddenly said, "The cavalry is too disadvantaged, so I fell into a dilemma of me advancing and retreating, and I retreating and the enemy advancing." ”

No wonder......

As soon as Zhu Zhanji arrived in Yumuchuan, his father borrowed this step to teach the teacher.

Dusk sighed: "Therefore, if you don't solve the Tatar cavalry, no matter how many times Your Majesty personally conquers Mobei, you will not achieve too good achievements, and as for the unification of Mobei, there is no need to have extravagant hopes." ”

Zhu Di probably thought about unifying Mobei, but unfortunately he couldn't.

But......

If the Tatar cavalry can be broken, this is possible.

Zhu Gaochi saw it very clearly, "Indeed, according to the current situation, it is extremely difficult to include Mobei in the territory, and the best way is to canonize Warat, Tatar, and Uliangha, and let them involve each other." ”

Zhu Gaochi still has this political vision.

Dusk said: "That's why I have to send an envoy." ”

Zhu Gaochi was puzzled, "What does the canonization of Tatar, Warat and Uliangha have to do with the envoy to Jiaozhi?" ”

Dusk was helpless, so he had to explain patiently, "It has nothing to do with the canonization of Jiaozhi, but if you want to break the cavalry of the northern grassland, you have to make Jiaozhi, the reason is very simple, there is now a firearms production process over there, if you bring it back to the Ming Dynasty, use it on a large scale, and form a firearms army, with firearms troops with red-coated artillery, it is easy to break the Tatar cavalry." It's good that you know about this matter, and fully cooperate, you must know that Your Majesty has already chosen the name of this firearms unit. ”

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up, "A fire gun improved on the basis of the Song Dynasty assault musket?" ”

The Yuan Dynasty had it.

But the power is not enough, and there are many flaws.

In the past two hundred years, no one has thought about such a large-scale formation of firearms troops, and I have to say that the idea of dusk and my father is really enviable.

Dusk snorted, "It's not enough, after getting this artifact making method from Jiaozhi, Wechen will devote himself to improving it, and the Shenji Battalion will become the first invincible army in the world!" ”

Zhu Gaochi was full of energy, "Shenji Battalion, good name!" ”

Dusk said: "This matter is a matter of persuasion." ”

Zhu Gaochi sighed sincerely: "Commander Huang's advice is enough to glorify my Ming Dynasty, if it is successful, in the history books after the thousand years, the name of Commander Huang should be crowned with the overflow of a saint." ”

Dusk's eyes are full of stars, "What did Your Highness say?" ”

Zhu Gaochi was stunned, "It's enough to show off my great future." ”

"Not that."

Zhu Gaochi: "......"

I had to say: "If it is successful, the name of dusk should be overflowing saint." ”

Dusk's face was full of comfort, and he smiled cheaply, "Cool!" ”

Sage......

This is a compliment of transgression of etiquette, generally speaking, except for the Son of Heaven, few people dare to accept this praise, and being praised by Zhu Gaochi of Mingrenzong, the 108,000 pores of his body are dilated at dusk, and he only feels fluttering.

Zhu Gaochi was also straightforward and quick-hearted, and blurted out while excited.

I'm embarrassed to take it back.

At this moment, seeing Dusk's cheap appearance, I can't help but laugh.

After all, he is a young man who has not yet reached the crown.

Said: "Since it is such an important matter, we must not be lazy, today I will be at the small court meeting, ask the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites and the bureaucrats to discuss the candidate for the envoy, if Commander Huang has any advice, just come to the Qianqing Palace, I will fully cooperate, will make the fire of the Shenji Camp shine between heaven and earth!" ”

Getting up at dusk, "That's very good." ”

He said: "There is still something to do, so I will leave first." ”

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly got up to send him off.

No matter how Dusk scolded him before, he was willing to take tens of thousands of taels of silver out, and he was rushed to advise him to form a Shenji Battalion, which was an amazing strategy that was worthy of Zhu Gaochi to be sent outside the gate.

As soon as she got out of the study, Princess Zhang, who had been outside, glanced at her husband and hinted at her.

Our family can also get tens of thousands of taels out.

If there is that artifact at home, if the palace is as bright as daylight, Zhan Ji will be much better at reading.

Zhu Gaochi thought about it for a while, and said, "Commander Huang, I don't know how much that kind of artifact in your mansion costs, I-"

Dusk stopped, his face was gloomy, "Now that His Highness is dead?" ”

Zhu Gaochu has been dying and has taken the throne, and now it's okay, you Zhu Gaochu is going to start dying again, and you want to buy power generation equipment, and you also want to kill your throne?

Zhu Gaochi is inexplicable and dead?

What do you mean?

And for that?

Does it mean that someone was dying before?

Dusk looked at this bloated prince, His Royal Highness, secretly a little pitiful, yes, don't toss, after all, it is also a generation of Renzong, sighed: "Your Majesty is still distressed about money and unwilling to install this artifact, if Your Highness is safe, what do you think Your Majesty will think?" ”

So from this point of view, Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng helped Zhu Gaoxu with money, but they may not be able to please him.

Of course - Zhu Di never said no.

It's all twilight flickering.

Therefore, the pros and cons of this matter will not be revealed until Zhu Di returns to Yingtian.

Zhu Gaochi suddenly realized, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and took a long swipe to the end, "Thank you Commander Huang for saving your life." ”

This is truly a lifesaver.

Or even heavier.

Because this saved not only his family, but also the hope of the throne.

After dusk left, Zhu Gaochi said to his wife in a rare sharp voice: "In the future, this kind of thing, you are a woman who rarely speaks, although Dusk will scold her husband for a bloody dog, but looking at his actions and words today, he is still a little inclined to be a husband. ”

How could Princess Zhang be afraid of her husband, and muttered a few words.

In a bad mood, he paused, "Go to your Qianqing Palace, I'm going to find my mother, I scolded you at dusk, even if it is the will of my father, his position as a courtier, he should apologize for a sentence or two, but he didn't say anything at all, you too, you are too benevolent, I really don't know if you are like this, even if you ascend to the big treasure in the future, can you suppress the courtiers!" ”

Zhu Gaochi only smiled bitterly, what else could he do?

can only be willful by his wife.

In other words, it would be a good thing if the queen mother could come out and beat the dusk - the father likes Zhu Gaoxu, but the queen mother actually likes herself.

At least the position is not biased.

Leaving the palace, he went to Nanzhen Fusi at dusk, dispatched some people, and according to Zhu Gaochi's intentions, he sent the 50,000 taels of silver to the household department.

Of course, you have to get the formalities back.

When Zhu Di comes back later, this procedure is the proof of his own invitation.

Sitting in the Yamen of Fusi in Nanzhen, he asked someone to ask him, and found that all official affairs had been handled by Saihazhi, and he, the deputy envoy, seemed to be hollowed out, and had no meaning in existence.

Dusk is very refreshing.

Just a Nanzhen Fusi Yamen, he wasted his time, so my Huang someone's time is too worthless.

When he was idle, Sai Hazhi probed his brain outside the door, "Yo, Brother Huang, I finally remembered that this is your yamen, I came to work today, what's the matter, the beauties that my brother gave you have eaten thoroughly, and you get tired of it so quickly?" ”

walked in and sat swaggering in front of dusk, "The young man is good, twelve, you actually ate them all, amazing, my brother really admires it." ”

The thief smiled again: "Tight? ”

Dusk couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to say perfunctorily: "It's tight, and it's very moist." ”

Run a fart.

Lao Tzu didn't dare to look at those beauties in the Western Regions until now, from the day he returned to Huangfu, he found that his wife was very disgusted with this matter, how dare he make the first beauty of the Ming Dynasty sad for the sake of his family.

Because......

Because of love!

This matter is considered in the long run, the beauties of the Western Regions, I must enjoy it, and in the future, what European and American styles, Mao Mei scenery, Latin enchantment, I want to try them all.

Lao Tzu is not afraid of toothpicks stirring the water tank.

In other words, is your appetite too open?

A few more meat jokes.

Saihazhi coughed, "Brother, it's not that my brother is talkative, you are a person who wants to take a career in office, once you reach the fourth grade, you have to cash out the business house of your time, if you continue to hold it, I am afraid it will be detrimental to your career." ”

According to the Ming Law, officials above the fourth grade are not allowed to do business.

Dusk cut off, "I have already decided on this matter, I can't give up the Times Firm, because what I want to do needs to rely not only on our Ming Dynasty, but also on the Times Firm." ”

Sai Hazhi was puzzled, "But what about Da Minglu?" ”

Dusk thought for a moment, "When the time comes, it will depend on what Your Majesty means." ”

I have to let Zhu Di make a holy decree.

After the official is promoted to the fourth grade, I, Huang, must be ordered to do business-dusk has long been paving the way for this matter, otherwise it would be so refreshing to get the money today?

I just want to tell Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and others that you can also use the money I earn.

This is the Ming Dynasty's era trading house.

It is a weapon of the country!

It's not me alone in the evening.

Sai Hazhi shook his head, "Anyway, brother, be careful, don't be caught by Ji Gang and Chen Ying, in other words, what do you want to do with the Times Firm, with your current status and identity, plus your future prospects, money is not difficult for you at all." ”

Huang Roll took a sip of tea, put his legs on the table, stroked his chin comfortably, and said slowly: "Times Commercial Bank is not just a commercial house in my eyes. ”

After a pause, "Its future is the East India Company, and even more powerful." ”

The East India Company was the most powerful company in history, and according to later estimates, the market value of the East India Company was more than $7 trillion. Not only does it have the economic power of the Terrorist, but it also has its own armed forces, it can start a war, occupy a country, it is an invincible weapon of the country.

And Times Commercial Bank will become such a sharp weapon.

It's your own trump card!
