Sake red face, money silk touching people's hearts, this is a law since ancient times. There may be people in the world who treat money like dung, but most people have a good attitude towards money.

The civil officials tried their best to express their dislike for businessmen, but they started business behind their backs, and they were more for money and power for officials, and their arrogant and lascivious lives were like a poppy, which made people intoxicated and sinking.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is ruthless, he is cold-blooded and ruthless to the people, ministers, old friends, wives and concubines, before he died, the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty were basically killed by him. But in front of his children and grandchildren, he was full of kindness, gentleness and thoughtfulness. In order to ensure the happiness of his children and grandchildren, he racked his brains, like a lone wolf guarding a group of cubs.

Soon after the founding of the country, before he had time to seal the heroes, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to make all his sons princes, and his youngest son Zhu Hu was just one year old that year, wetting the bed and breastfeeding to learn to speak, and even the father couldn't shout clearly, and was also canonized as the king of Zhou by Zhu Yuanzhang.

He stipulated that the descendants of the royal family were not bound by ordinary laws and were not under the control of the local government, so it was just a lie that the Son of Heaven was guilty of the same crime as the common people. The kings' mansions, costumes and military cavalry, the first rank of the Son of Heaven, the princes and ministers have to bow down and bow when they see it, and they have such a big advantage if they have a good baby.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty were the least in the past dynasties, and the ministers were not as good as ordinary people, and there was no meat to eat at home, so they naturally wanted to make some extra money, so as long as they were discovered, they would be skinned and stuffed by Zhu Yuanzhang, life was better than death, and working for this kind of boss was a fatal thing at every turn.

The boss is so capricious, saying that if you want to die, he will let you die, and he won't say hello.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's standard for his children and grandchildren is not thick, and the annual salary of the minister of Yipin is only about 1,000 stones, but the annual salary of the prince after being crowned as a prince is as much as 10,000 stones, not including a large amount of land and other rewards.

In order to allow future generations to fully enjoy happiness, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the royal family did not have to go to work. Every royal family lays eggs, and all consumption needs are borne by the state. This cub can receive a salary from the age of ten to enjoy the lulu, when the state pays the house, crown clothes, wedding expenses, and a generous funeral fee when he dies, it is really comfortable to die.

This kind of meticulous care is unique in Chinese history, so that the Ming people can't help but sigh: The grace of my relatives can be said to be omnipotent, and its thickness is far greater than that of previous generations.

But then there were more and more people in the royal family, and more and more extravagant, arrogant and lascivious, the emperor did not know how many relatives there were, and every time a minister impeached a certain person in the royal family, the emperor would know that he still had such a relative.

The money and grain spent by these relatives every year was an astronomical amount, and the imperial court began to be unable to afford so many pigs, the hundred officials had a headache, and the emperor was very worried.

So all the emperors are consciously reducing the welfare of the royal relatives, and in Zhu Youji's generation, except for a few veins, no one else in the royal family has so many privileges and treatments, and even most of the royal relatives are not as good as a noble.

Although Zhu Zhen is also surnamed Zhu, he is not noble in the royal family, and he can sit in the position of the right sect by being generous and willing to pay money, so his reputation in the imperial circle is extremely high.

Money and power can always be exchanged with each other, Zhu Zhen got the power and was more active in looting money, it can be said that he has a perverted desire for money, and no one dares to open his mouth to impeach him if he looks ugly on weekdays, because he is a member of the right sect of the Zongren Mansion, and there are tens of thousands of royal relatives behind him, one or two people may not be useful when they speak, but there are many people, and even Zhu Youzhu has to scruple.

It wasn't until he was knocked on a sticky stick by Zhu Houzhao that Zhu Zhen relented a little, but it didn't take long for him to resurge, so when Zhu Zhen knew that there was such an opportunity to make money, the whole person was like being soaked in a hot spring, the whole body was comfortable, and the old body was full of youthful vitality.

After the excitement, Zhu Zhen was a little worried, after all, it was more than 200,000 taels of silver, and Zhu Zhen's entire net worth was not much more than that.

Zhou Yusheng saw the concerns of the main family, and whispered: "The owner, this time it is indeed all good things, if you can sell these antiques, you can at least double the silver money, so you must take it down." Even though...... Even if you spend a lot of money now, when the treasure arrives, you can get the money back......"

Zhu Zhen's eyes lit up, patted Zhou Yusheng's shoulder and said: "Yes, he can't escape the palm of the old man's hand even if he is broken, since this is the case, what if the silver is given to him, the old man will borrow some money to come over, and he must get this batch of antiques." However, you can't let the guy with the surname Qian slip away, otherwise ......"

"Don't worry, the villain has sent someone to keep an eye on him, and he will come back immediately after finding out his whereabouts, as long as he is still in the Jingshi, he can't escape our eyes."

Zhu Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Yusheng, you have a heart, when the antiques are in hand, you can pick one and collect it, and it will be given to you by the old man." ”

Zhou Yusheng was overjoyed and said: "Xie Dongjia, the villain must try his best to do things." It's not too early, the villain will go back to the store to do things, don't send it! ”

After Zhou Yusheng left, Zhu Zhen called the housekeeper and said, "You go and prepare some gifts, I want to visit some clan relatives......"

The sky was about to get dark, and Cao Wei was still reading the official documents sent from all over the country in the Fusi Yamen of Beizhen. In the past two days, the style of the adults has made his subordinates scratch their heads, and they work overtime in the yamen every day, completely losing their previous lazy appearance.

The lieutenant in the Fusi of Beizhen didn't know what kind of stimulus this Shangguan had to change so much, could it be that it was really because he was impeached by the imperial history, so his conscience was found from then on?

A general flag hurriedly ran into the lobby, hugged his fists and said: "My lord, my subordinates are back, saying that Zhu Zhen borrowed money from many royal relatives and promised heavy profits, and it seems that he has already taken the bait." ”

The corners of Cao Wei's mouth were slightly hooked, and he said: "Fight the snake by seven inches, and what you said about the right medicine is really right, this time you must make this old man bankrupt...... Dong Shun'er, if you have something to say, what does it look like! ”

Dong Shun laughed awkwardly and said, "My lord, I, Dong Shun'er, have followed you since I was in Nanjing, and I have never seen you like this...... Well, I've done it so seriously, what's wrong with it, is it uncomfortable? ”

Although she didn't say what was uncomfortable, Dong Shun'er's eyes kept staring at Shangguan's head.

Questioned by his subordinates, Cao Wei put down the official document in his hand and scolded with a smile: "How can this official be so lazy and lazy, he was just too busy before, but now he will naturally come over to do office work when he is free, well, that's it, you go down, and come back to report if there is any news." ”

Dong Shun'er nodded yes, and glanced at Shangguan with a strange expression when she left, her eyes contained doubt, curiosity, and a faint mockery, obviously disdainful of Shangguan's explanation.

Cao Wei snorted and muttered, "This official has recently discovered that he was indeed a little lazy before......
