Chapter 242: Live for Two Years
"Open Huaxu to every prefecture and county in the Ming Dynasty? What a big breath! ”
In the palace, Zhu Youzhu was wearing a pale yellow simple clothes, slowly walking on the stone path in the imperial garden, with a faint smile on his face. Since three hundred taels of silver were recorded in the treasury of the palace, Zhu Youzhi's waist has straightened a lot, and the smile on his face has gradually increased, and Xiao Jing is happy in his heart.
"Your Majesty, young people nowadays like to toss, and they won't feel comfortable if they don't make some noise. The old slave thinks this is a good thing, we lack a vigorous and upward vitality, with these monkey cubs, life can be more lively. ”
Xiao Jing smiled and slowly followed behind the emperor. Zhu Youzhu scolded with a smile: "I don't care how they want to toss, but what is the reason why they have to be involved with me?" Listen to what Cao Wei said? The palace is strapped for money, and he is collecting money for His Majesty, does this seem like what a courtier should say? I have three million in my inner library, so why should I be struggling? If I see this monkey again, I will have to kick him twice! ”
Although Zhu Youzhu said fiercely, his tone was not a little angry, and Xiao Jing even heard a trace of the elders' doting on the juniors from it, and he was secretly surprised in his heart. Although he knew that Zhu Youzhi had a good impression of Cao Wei, he didn't expect it to reach this point......
"Xiao Jing, what do you say if Huaxu is really opened in every prefecture and county of our Ming Dynasty, what kind of situation will it be at that time?"
Xiao Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that the inner treasury will be abundant at that time, and Your Majesty will not worry about money." ”
Zhu Youzhu laughed and said, "Xiao Jing, although you are smart and cautious, your vision is still a little worse. In the past, I heard the prince say that Cao Wei wanted to find a way to replace the people's tax with commercial tax, so that the people could not be endowed with the world, I didn't believe it at the time, but now I believe it a little. ”
Xiao Jing thought about it for a while, and was suddenly shocked, if Hua Xu really opened it in every prefecture and county in the Ming Dynasty, then the imperial court could completely collect commercial taxes in disguise by regulating prices, and then it would not only fill the inner treasury, but I am afraid that even the treasury would be filled. Besides, it is just a Hua Xu now, if other businesses are added in the future, wouldn't the world's commercial tax be decided by Cao Wei's words......
Xiao Jing said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, can Cao Wei really do this?" ”
"A man who can go out and pick up 10 million taels of silver and come back, why should I not believe him?" Zhu Youzhu looked at the spring flower garden with his hands in his hands, and said with a smile: "Do you think Cao Wei really just wants to fill the treasury?" ”
Without waiting for Xiao Jing to think about it, Zhu Youzhu continued: "Greatly promoting commerce and increasing the number of business officials is just fundamental. With the rise of commerce, industry will inevitably follow, and industry and commerce will rise together, and there is no equivalent status, so what? Cao Wei is now hiding his purpose by uniting with the gentry, simmering slowly and boiling a pot of good soup......"
Xiao Jing was frightened and whispered: "Your Majesty, this is going to disrupt the country, since you know, why don't you teach this monkey cub a lesson?" ”
"Because I also want to know what Cao Wei wants to do, after so many things, I have an indescribable confidence in this kid, and I always feel that this kid can always surprise me. Xiao Jing, let's take a look at the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty with me......"
Xiao Jing felt that his state of mind, which had been calm for many years, boiled again, and bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave is willing to be with Your Majesty in life and death, as long as Your Majesty does not dislike the old slave, the old slave is willing to serve Your Majesty for a lifetime, to put it mildly, the old slave has served the first emperor for two generations, but the old slave still feels willing to serve you, you are the best emperor, and the old slave wants to be with you when he dies!" ”
If the last sentence is said to lovers, it must be an eternal love, but unfortunately the two people in front of him are an emperor, a eunuch, and a half-man, no matter how you look at it, there is no possibility.
"Don't always say that you can't die, you old eunuch has lived a lifetime for others, and you should live for yourself for two days, if you want, I will give you out of the palace in a few days, so that you can also live a good life for two days, what do you think?"
Xiao Jinglao burst into tears, knelt directly on the ground, and cried: "Your Majesty, how can the old slave be so loved......
"Get out of the palace, Xiao Jing, live for yourself for two years!"

Out of the Red Clothes Building, the sky was already a little dark, Cao Wei returned home, and as soon as he arrived at the door, Wang Sheng greeted him, and whispered: "Master, Lord Xie Qian Xie came to visit, and Mrs. is now accompanying you in the front hall." ”
Cao Wei walked quickly to the front hall, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man with a long beard drinking tea in the hall, and stepped forward and said, "Gong Xie is really lazy to visit!" ”
Xie Qian stroked his beard and said: "The old man came to ask you for money this time, and I heard my family Pi'er say that you took one hundred taels of silver from Xie Mansion." Xie Fu is honest, and one hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, so the old man came to ask for it today! ”
Asking for money is naturally a joke, Cao Wei thought that Xie Qian was an unsmiling person, but he didn't expect him to be so witty and humorous.
The phoenix becomes a pheasant, and the woman of a good family becomes a fan, I really never expected it!
"Gong Xie is unreasonable to say this, the boy and his wife went to visit your mansion, and they didn't eat a bite of wine and food, and I am afraid that spreading it will damage Gong Xie's reputation. The reason why the kid accepted the hundred taels of silver was also for the sake of Gong Xie, but Gong Xie asked for it like this, but it was unreasonable. ”
Xie Wan rolled Cao's only eyes and said, "Uncle is just joking, can he really ask our family for silver?" ”
"It's really a girl who is outgoing, this sentence is really true!" Xie Qian laughed and said, "Pi'er is young and ignorant, and the Xie family is not well entertained, don't be surprised." Today, the old man came to see my Xie family's good son-in-law, Cao Wei, you sent back 10 million taels of silver, which solved the urgent need of the imperial court, and the old man thanked you on behalf of the court and the people......"
Xie Qian spoke, got up and saluted, Cao Wei hurriedly held him up, and said with a smile: "Gong Xie must not be polite to the kid, the kid can't afford it, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't swallow 10 million taels of silver, the kid wouldn't give so much silver to the court, now that I think about it, it still hurts, Duke Xie, do you say I'm too loser?" ”
Xie Qian almost didn't come up in one breath, pointed at Cao Wei and didn't know what to say, and only after a long time did he settle down and said: "No matter what, if you have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, you are worthy of the old man's worship." But your mouth is too underwhelming, the old man heard that His Majesty had taken off his shoes and chased you, if it weren't for his age, the old man would have stepped forward to whip you......"
Everyone has a young age, everyone has an impulsive age, Cao Wei said that he understood very much, and said with a faint smile: "Gong Xie is old, the anger can't be too big, and it hurts the kidneys ......."
