In the prosperous era, whether it is an unknown little person or a big hero with the world in mind, this is their simplest wish. The prosperous age can let the little people eat their bellies and wear warm clothes, and the prosperous age can also let the big heroes stretch their fists and make contributions.

The Chinese civilization has been around for 5,000 years, what is the prosperous age? The government is harmonious, the culture is prosperous, and the country is rich and the people are strong!

If there was also a prosperous era in the Ming Dynasty, it must not be the Wanguo Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Yongle, but the Hongzhi Dynasty of political communication and harmony. Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu is an inconspicuous figure in history, and the most memorable thing is probably that he only loved Empress Zhang in his life.

Zhu Youzhu did not have any great achievements, but he can be called the most diligent emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chenghua Emperor Zhu left a mess after burping, the people were dissatisfied, the government decree was not passed, and the decline of the Ming Dynasty was born.

It is the Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhi who governs the country diligently and loves the people like a son, so that he can reunite the hearts of the people; It is Zhu Youzhi who is generous and polite, and only by virtue can he be politically and harmonious; It is Zhu Youzhi who is good at admonishing and appointing virtuous ministers, so that the monarch and the minister can cooperate. The emperor, who suffered as a child, painted a picturesque picture with his own painstaking efforts.

It's been three watches at night, and the Wenhua Hall is still brightly lit, and Zhu Youzhu looked at a book of music and frowned.

Spring floods have washed away the Yellow River's dikes, flooding thousands of hectares of fertile land, displacing people along its banks and flooding refugees.

Zhu Youzhu has always wanted to be the master of Zhongxing, but the Ming Dynasty has not been peaceful in recent years, and the Tatars are powerful and intrude on the border passes of the Ming Dynasty; Hami war, Turpan and Ming fought for territory; The flooding of the Yellow River has caused countless victims......

Mourn the hardships of people's livelihood and sigh the suffering of Daming!

A burst of hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor outside the hall in the middle of the night, Zhu Youzhu looked up, was stunned, put down the fold in his hand, and said with a smile: "Xiao Gong, I thought you were born to be a chronic child, why are you so impatient today?" Seeing that your eyebrows and eyes are full of smiles, could it be that you are here to report good news to me? ”

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm so happy!" Ten million taels of silver, ten million taels! ”

Zhu Youzhu was stunned and said, "What ten million taels?" Gong Xiao, you have confused me, take a sip of tea first, and then speak slowly. Come on, give Xiao Gong a cup of tea! ”

Xiao Jingqing knew that he had lost his honor, so he took a sip of tea patiently, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, there is news from Xuanfu that Cao Wei's monkey cub has found a treasure from Huangyang Mountain, a total of 10 million taels of silver......

Zhu Youzhu hadn't finished drinking a sip of hot tea, and he choked and coughed directly when he heard this. He patted his chest, widened his eyes and said, "Xiao Gong, is this true?" ”

No wonder Zhu Youzhi reacted like this, the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty was very low, thirty taxes and one, and Zhu Youzhi was unwilling to raise taxes on the people, so the annual tax of the imperial court was about three million taels of silver. It seems like a lot, but in all aspects of this great country, three million taels of silver is just enough, if there is any natural disaster**, the court will start to worry about the silver.

Let's just say that the Yellow River flooded this time, the people were displaced, and the imperial court would inevitably spend a lot of money to build embankments and dams, and also to appease the fleeing people, and silver would be used in all aspects. There is still some silver in the treasury, but every tael has its place, and it cannot be easily embezzled at all, and Zhu Youzhi is now worried about this.

But now there is suddenly an extra 10 million taels of silver, what is that concept? Taxes for three whole years in the Ming Dynasty! With these ten million taels, what can't be done?

"Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't dare to speak falsely!"

Zhu Youji's body trembled, his face showed ecstasy, and he stood up and said, "Where is Cao Wei now?" Hurry up and let him escort the silver back to Beijing, no, send Mu Bin to Xuanfu to bring the silver back, nothing can happen......"

Xiao Jingmei opened his eyes and smiled: "Your Majesty, Cao Wei is already on his way back to Beijing, presumably he will return to Beijing in the near future, Your Majesty does not need to be in a hurry." ”

"I'm in a hurry!" Zhu Youzhu sat down again and said with a smile: "This leather monkey is really ...... Is...... I don't know what to say, this kid is cheating and slippery, lazy to the extreme, every time I force him to do things, but he can surprise me again and again, it seems that he will be used more in the future. ”

Xiao Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave heard that the monkey cub is going to return to his hometown in two years......

"Kill him beautifully!" Zhu Youzhu snorted coldly and said, "As long as he dares to fold, I will kick him to death...... However, this time his credit is too great, and it will not work if he does not award it. I originally wanted the prince to promote him, but now it seems that I can't suppress him, so I still have to be rewarded, otherwise people will say that I am unkind. By the way, what has the prince been doing lately? ”

Xiao Jing's expression became a little strange, and Zhu Youji's heart suddenly changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the prince caused something wrong again?" ”

Xiao Jing said cautiously: "A few days ago, the prince sent someone to secretly knock on the stuffy stick of the right sect of the Zongren Mansion, and he also stripped him naked and threw him on the street......

Zongrenfu is an institution that manages the affairs of the royal clan, is in charge of the clan roster of the emperor's nine clans, writes the emperor's genealogy on time, and records the children's descendants, names, titles, hereditary titles, birth and death times, marriages, and burials. He is responsible for sending and receiving documents, managing the internal affairs of the clan, registering the yellow and red books, imprisoning criminals, and educating the children of the clan.

The name of the right sect is Zhu Zhen, who is Zhu Youji's distant cousin, and he is already fifty years old. After listening to Xiao Jing's words, Zhu Youzhu was furious and said: "Lawless, how can the prince act so absurdly? What happened to the right sect now? ”

"The people of the Right Sect were still going to die and live a few days ago, but in the past two days, it has stopped a lot, and the old slave learned that he was secretly investigating the person who did it, so he took care of the tail for the prince, and now no one can find out......" Xiao Jing paused and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the prince is not messing around this time......

Zhu Youzhu glanced at him in surprise and said: "The people of the Right Sect are members of the royal family, and they are older than me, and that son of a son can still do it, does Duke Xiao want to shirk it for the prince?" ”

"Your Majesty, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other, the reason why the prince sent someone to beat the right sect people is because the right sect people want to get involved in Hua Xu ......"

"Hua Xu?" Zhu Youzhu frowned and said: "It's just a shop, Zhu Zhen is old and respectable, but he wants to make personal money, is it possible that he is already so shameless?" ”

Xiao Jing smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Hua Xu is indeed a shop, but it is not an ordinary shop, now the Jingshi family only knows Hua Xu and does not know anything else, and would rather spend some more time to go to Hua Xu to buy daily things."

Last month, Hua Xu's dividend was 80,000 taels, and the prince alone occupied 50% of Hua Xu, so last month, the prince's mansion recorded 40,000 taels of silver......"

Zhu Youzhu suddenly stood up from the imperial chair and said in disbelief: "Forty thousand taels? How can a store have such a dividend...... No, it is useless for the prince to ask for so much silver, so he must be handed over to the inner treasury. It's just that this won't be good, Lao Tzu reached out to his son to ask for money, but I couldn't open my mouth......"

"Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that it is better to store the silver money in the hands of the prince and see how the prince acts. As for the inner library, it will soon be rich too! ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled knowingly and said, "Yes, I am going to be rich too, I have never felt so rich." Zhu Zhen's old goods are shameless, they should be beaten! I don't care, now I have silver, it's a good feeling......"
