After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, under the lord system, there was a lot of Guogong, and a lot of death-free iron rolls were also given, but as Zhu Yuanzhang got older, with the early death of Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, the death-free iron rolls became a life-saving talisman, and the Guogong also soared to the fairyland one after another.

It was difficult for Zhu Dijing to ascend the throne, and there were only four people who were crowned princes.

Li Jinglong, who was left by Zhu Yunwen Dynasty, still retains the title of Duke of Guo, and Mei Yin is dead...... Therefore, in the current Ming Dynasty, there are not many princes, and there will be people who will be crowned dukes one after another in the later period, and Zhu Neng will even posthumously crown the king of Wulie in Dongping after his death.

Zhu Di also sent an iron scroll to avoid death, and wrote "Fengtian Jingjing".

Li Jinglong also has it, and he is outstanding in status.

However, seeing the dusk coming in a hurry, Li Jinglong didn't dare to put up a fight, so he hurriedly got up and grabbed the dusk who wanted to salute, "The command is not more polite than this." ”

Dusk laughed and saluted.

Li Jinglong was in a very good mood all of a sudden.

Look, look, you heroes don't respect me, but the favored ministers of the Son of Heaven respect me at dusk - this is meaningful, dusk, as the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, should know His Majesty's attitude towards him.

Judging from the dusk reaction, His Majesty still regards himself as a hero of the appeasement.

So the mood relaxed.

Both sides are seated.

Li Jinglong came from an excellent background, he has read military books since he was a child, and in addition to military books, he also reads hundreds of schools, although he is not as good as Xu Huizu and not as good as the great Confucian Mei Yin, in fact, he is also a Confucian general.

Well, can't the tiger father and dog son be Confucian generals?

I exchanged pleasantries with dusk for a while.

Get to the point.

Dusk asked, "I don't know what advice Cao Guogong has when he came here today?" ”

Li Jinglong immediately smiled and said: "I don't dare to give advice, I have something to ask for." ”

Dusk and dark music.

Li Jinglong put his position very correctly, indicating that this master understood his situation very well, so he said: "Guogong's words are serious, and if there is something to do, the order is that as long as it does not violate the law and discipline, within the process, Nanzhen Fusi will obey it." ”

That's interesting.

This means to imply that Li Jinglong, I am now meeting with you on behalf of Nanzhen Fuji.

How could Li Jinglong not know, and said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with official business." ”

Dusk was puzzled, "That's ......"

Li Jinglong didn't sell the circle either, and said bluntly: "I heard that the Duke of Qi and the Duke of Cheng joined forces to advance funds for the second prince and purchased two sets of artifacts from Commander Huang, which will be placed in the Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace?" ”

Dusk bowed his head, "This matter has spread all over Yingtian?" ”

Li Jinglong said: "Yingtian's circle of magnates is so big, everyone is staring at each other, a little wind and grass can alarm everyone, these major events, everyone knows." ”

Dusk laughed, "Could it be that Cao Guogong also wants to express his heart for His Majesty?" ”

Li Jinglong sneered, and then said with a straight face: "Commander Huang doesn't want to laugh, how dare you thin the second prince's filial piety, and the Ming people don't say secret words, I am too busy to take care of myself now, how dare I get involved in such things." ”

That's true.

Dusk also sighed, "Guogong's situation is not good. ”

He also said, "So what is the matter with the national office." ”

Li Jinglong coughed, "I heard that Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qiguo, and Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, also plan to place such artifacts in the mansion, what about me, anyway, the situation is already like this, and the worry is also in vain, it is better to look away, I also want to place a set of artifacts in the mansion, I don't know if Commander Huang can help." ”

Dusk was surprised.

Feelings don't need to be sold at all, someone comes to ask for goods.

Good phenomenon!

This kind of money delivered to the door is not made in vain.

Li Jinglong is rich.

Very rich.

There was a foundation laid by Li Wenzhong for him, and then there was a lot of silver earned in the Jianwen Dynasty, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, Li Jinglong made another profit, this Guogong is richer than Qi Guogong and Cheng Guogong.

So as a difficulty, "I have a heart, but the cost of these artifacts is extremely high, and the production capacity is limited, I have promised Qi Guogong and Cheng Guogong each set, and if Cao Guogong wants it, it is indeed a little difficult." ”

Li Jinglong didn't understand, "I can add money, Commander Huang can offer the price." ”

Dusk laughed, and his heart was very refreshing.

Said: "Guogong is so fast-talking, he won't go to the road if he hides his lowly position, so let's just say that Guogong wants it, it's not difficult, it can be made at the same time as Qi Guogong and Cheng Guogong's batch, but because it is a temporary production plan, many things have to be re-prepared, and the price may be higher than those two Guogong." ”

Li Jinglong was mentally prepared, "How much do they cost?" ”

Dusk thought for a while, "The specific number has not been determined, and it is necessary to go to their mansion to map and map on the spot before determining the number, but it is all twenty or thirty thousand." ”

Li Jinglong waved his sleeves, arrogant, "I can accept it below 40,000." ”

What else can you do at dusk?

When you meet a wealthy man, you can only hold it.

Le said: "Okay, in this way, the lowly position is also a newcomer, and in the future, you still need to be supported by the Guogong, say a few more kind words between the government and the opposition, spend money to settle the Guogong, and bear the excess expenses by yourself, the price of this set of artifacts of the Guogong is definitely the same as the two Guogong, no more than 30,000 taels, what do you think?" ”

Li Jinglong's eyes lit up.

He didn't know that Dusk was trying to woo him, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Good." ”

Then he said: "I'm afraid Commander Huang is going to be disappointed." ”

Although I am now in a high position, I am embattled, how can I speak for you.

Dusk smiled, "Guogong doesn't have to think too much, you are a martyr, no matter how much Your Majesty has to remember your good opening of Jinchuan Gate, even if Chaoye Xiao looks down on you unpleasantly, but as long as Your Majesty has no intention, you can enjoy wealth and nobility." ”

If you don't die.

Li Jinglong could only sigh.

Thirty thousand taels of silver is not the benefit that Dusk wants to get from Li Jinglong, he has greater ambitions, and said at the right time: "But then again, now that the eldest prince is sad because of the matter of increasing the issuance of treasure money, why doesn't the prince of the country help?" ”

Li Jinglong smiled bitterly, "Commander Huang doesn't know, if I help His Royal Highness the Great Prince, what will Your Majesty think?" What will the second prince think? I'm afraid I'm going to have to fuck off soon. ”

Dusk shook his head, "That's right, but Guogong can save himself." ”

Li Jinglong was stunned.

Immediately realized, got up, and bowed deeply to the dusk, "Please also command to make it clear." ”

Dusk is dark and cool.

If Li Jinglong is pulled to his side because of this, it will be a great help, so he pretended to groan, and said after a while: "So the prince needs to help the eldest prince solve the sequelae of the additional issuance of treasure money, but after the matter is done, he has to let others and even His Majesty think that the prince is solving problems for His Majesty." ”

Li Jinglong smiled: "Command, please continue." ”

Dusk said darkly: "That's it, there is a way to give the country a wind in advance, the low position plans to establish a money bank, once the plan is achieved according to the low position, it can solve the matter of increasing the issuance of treasure money, the country can consider it, choose a way to enter the market." ”

Li Jinglong was puzzled, "Saving money to your bank can solve the sequelae of issuing additional treasure banknotes?" ”

Twilight shook her head, "Of course it's not that simple. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "I can't reveal too much about the specific operation of this matter now, so I just give the Guogong a blow first, and when His Majesty returns from Shuntian, the money village will be formed, and His Majesty will also contribute money at that time, but now that the treasury is empty, Your Majesty will definitely be worried about the lack of money, and at that time, the wealth of the Guogong will enter the market in the name of His Majesty, which can not only contribute to the country, but also express your loyalty to Your Majesty." ”

Lowered his voice, "To put it mildly, if there is really something unexpected for the Duke of Guo, isn't it planned for future generations?" So when the time comes, the prince can divide the wealth into two, one part can enter the market in the name of His Majesty, and the other part can enter in the name of a private person, even if something goes wrong with you, this part of the money can also be left to future generations, which is a double insurance. ”

Insurance?

Dusk's heart jumped, and he had another idea.

Li Jinglong was a little dazed, "It's just a money bank, can you keep it?" ”

What if my house is raided?

Dusk laughed and laughed without saying a word.

Li Jinglong fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he said, "Let me think about it for a moment or two." ”

Dusk said: "Don't worry, Guogong can make a decision depending on the situation, after all, this matter will take a long time to prepare, but let's talk about it first, Guogong can do it himself, there is really not much time left for you." In addition, the matter is big, and there is no need to spread it. ”

Li Jinglong bowed his head and was quite grateful, "I know." ”

Get up, "Don't bother Commander Huang." ”

At dusk, he got up to see off the guests, and said: "Wait a few days, I will go to the mansion of Qi Guogong and Chengguo to survey, and then I will come to the mansion of Guogong to survey, this order is in accordance with the order of customization, and Guogong should not think too much." ”

Li Jinglong said with a smile: "It should be so, after I go back, someone will send 10,000 taels of silver as a deposit." ”

Dusk smiled and said, "Send it to the Times Commercial Bank, and Shen Xili will sign for it." ”

Li Jinglong said goodbye and left.

Dusk sat back down and fell into deep thought.

He is very optimistic about the future of the bank, as long as it is set up and led by Zhu Di, the money of Li Jinglong and Qiu Fu will come in, but in addition, it seems that he can sell insurance?

Insurance is a matter of profit and loss.

Can be considered.

What is the imperial examination insurance, career insurance, and family raiding insurance...... It's all operable.

……

……

Zhu Gaosui responded that it had been a few days.

From the very beginning, in the battle for the prince, Zhu Gaosui was the least good, and he kept waving his flag and shouting behind Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaochi also thinks so.

This time, Zhu Gaochu was trapped in Fujian, and he didn't want Zhu Gaosui to be embarrassed with Zhu Gaochu in Fujian, so he let the third brother, who had not made meritorious contributions in Fujian, but suffered losses, return to Yingtian.

In the Battle of Daejeon, Zhu Gaosui caused heavy losses to the Ming army, if it were not for Xu Huizu to turn the tide, the one led by Zhu Gaosui was only afraid that the whole army would be wiped out, and it would definitely be degraded at that time.

Now......

It is impossible to have merit, and the responsibility must be asked, but it has to wait for Zhu Di to return from Shuntian.

Zhu Gaosui still has a period of leisure.

When Dusk and Li Jinglong were "talking about business" in the Yamen meeting room of Fusi in Nanzhen, Zhu Gaosui also met guests in the pavilion of his county palace: Qiu Fu, Duke of Qiguo, and Zhu Neng, Duke of Chengguo.

The situation is a bit delicate.

It is true that Zhu Gaosui is the king of the county, but he has the stain of Datian's defeat in the Fujian counterinsurgency, you must know that Zhu Di punished the defeated ministers very heavily, and Qiu Fu will suffer this loss in a few years.

The Tatar army was defeated and died, and even the title was removed.

So now above the government and the opposition, almost no one is optimistic that Zhu Gaosui has the slightest chance to compete for reserves.

And Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng have made meritorious contributions to the conquest and quelling the rebellion.

The position of power is in full swing.

Facing Zhu Gaosui today, the waist of these two princes is also much harder, but because Zhu Gaosui has been supporting Zhu Gaosui, the two princes are still a little kind to Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaosui took a sip of tea and took a pleasant breath.

It's still good to be good.

It's like the place in Fujian where birds don't.

Put down the teacup and said to Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng: "I heard that the two princes plan to pay a batch of silver for the second brother and buy two artifacts from the Nanzhen Fusi command dusk to give to the father and the queen mother?" ”

Qiu Fu laughed, "This is a piece of filial piety from His Second Highness." ”

Zhu Gaosui glanced at Qiu Fu without a trace, "What does Qi Guogong mean, my eldest brother and I have no filial piety?" ”

Qiu Fu was stunned.

There is murder in Zhu Gaosui's words.

Hurriedly said: "Where is the Third Highness, it's just that the Second Highness has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and now the situation is stable in Fujian, the sky is high and the earth is far away, and it is difficult to fulfill the filial piety of His Majesty and the Queen, so I have to do something to let Your Majesty and the Queen know the pure heart of the Second Highness." ”

Zhu Gaosui sighed, "Qi Guogong is very thoughtful, I guess you also think that I, a person who treats crimes, no matter how filial piety I do, is it useless?" ”

Qiu Fu was silent, slightly embarrassed.

Zhu Neng hurriedly came out to play a round game, "The Third Highness is not in a good position, it is really Mei Yin who is too cunning, and I have suffered a lot of losses in the first battle of the rebellion, but fortunately, the Second Highness is wise and martial, and saved us from the mud." ”

It's the truth.

If Zhu Gaoxu had not rebelled against Mei Yin, Zhu Neng, Zhu Gaosui and others would have been questioned by Zhu Di.

Zhu Gaosui thought for a while, "I invite the two of you to come over today, I have nothing else to do, I just want to discuss with you, can I pass one of those two artifacts from the second brother's side, and let me present it to my father." ”

Zhu Neng understood in seconds, "I think it's feasible." ”

Secretly signaled to Qiu Fu.

Qiu Fu also suddenly realized and understood Zhu Gaosui's intentions: after the Battle of Daejeon, Zhu Gaosui was the one who was to be punished, and when Zhu Di responded to the sky, he would definitely ask for the guilt.

If Zhu Gaosui curries favor with Zhu Di, there is still hope that the thunder will be heavy and the rain will be small.

This is Zhu Gaosui saving himself.

Although this way of self-help is very pitiful in terms of career, don't forget that Zhu Gaosui is Zhu Di's son, and this self-help is playing the family card, and the effect will not be bad.

Qiu Fu thought about it again, if Zhu Gaosui did not decline, he could continue to help His Royal Highness, which was a good plan.

So he bowed his head, "I think it's feasible too." ”

Zhu Gaosui laughed and got up, "This is very good, in the afternoon, I will send the money to the mansion of the two princes, and ask the two of them to count it carefully, since it is for the second brother and His Majesty, I can't let the two princes suffer." ”

On the word "carefully", Zhu Gaosui accentuated his tone.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng understood in seconds.

Affection Zhu Gaosui wants to give us some benefits, this is definitely not a simple expression of gratitude, there is a deeper reason, and this reason is about to come out: he wants to get our support.

The two pondered for a moment, thinking that the money could be collected.

So he smiled and said, "Then I'll wait to say goodbye?" ”

After Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng left, Zhu Gaosui came to the pavilion, stepped on the ice bricks on the ground, lifted the curtain, and looked at the infinite blue lotus leaves outside the pavilion.

Sneered a few times.

can even "help" him by jumping at dusk.

Everyone in the world thinks I'm the second child's follower, but I, Zhu Gaosui, didn't win the prince's ambition?

The boss is good at civil governance.

The second elder is a martial artist.

That's why my father hesitated to establish the prince.

If......

If I were Zhu Gaosui, wouldn't I be the best candidate for the prince.

I lost the battle of Daejeon.

But in the future, my father will have to recruit in person, so there are many opportunities for me to show my skills, and what I want to do at the moment is very simple: let the boss and the second brother fight, and learn the boss's tricks in the dark to win over the important ministers.

Who wouldn't?

Read more and go to the battlefield more.

When the boss and the second brother fight to the death, maybe my Zhu Gaosui's Wenzhi at that time has already defeated the boss, and his martial arts are better than the second, and he has won over a large number of henchmen between the government and the opposition.

At that time, he raised his arms and shouted, who else will the prince give up.

I'm Zhu Gaosui as a prince, isn't it fragrant?
