Changchun Palace

didn't notice Zhu Youxiao's thoughts, Zhu Youzhen was still happily holding a pair of small gloves to introduce Zhu Youxiao.

"See, big brother. As long as you put this little glove on your little nephew, he will never scratch himself.

Look, look at this again. This is a long cotton sock for your little nephew, and you put it on his little feet so that he doesn't catch a cold. It's made of pure cotton thread, so it won't damage his delicate skin.

And this, this little hat is cute, isn't it?

When the little nephew wears it, he will definitely not be blown by the wind again. ”

After introducing the small bits and pieces in his hand, Zhu Youzhen took out a delicate little dress from his arms and put it in the middle of the small bits and pieces.

"Dangdang, take a look, how is it, big brother.

You've never seen such a beautiful outfit, have you?

This is your brother's and sister's craft, and you can see it, right? ”

Seeing this delicate one-piece dress, Zhu Youxiao knew that he had misunderstood Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu should have no grievances.

Xiao Wu got this set of things, and I'm afraid Fei's brains will not be less at all.

However, Xiao Wu is really something that children can use now. I really don't want me to take advantage of me!

After seeing Zhu Youzhen's intentions, the corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth showed a smile of relief.

After all, it's still my own brother!

The depression in Zhu Youxiao's heart suddenly dissipated without a trace.

After untying the knot in Xiao Wu's heart, Zhu Youxiao suddenly remembered something, something that Wei Zhongxian begged for.

"Little Five, I, I ......" Zhu You opened Ai Ai's mouth during the school period, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't open his mouth.

Looking at his appearance of Ai Ai, Zhu Youzhen was really anxious for him.

What the? Big brother is here again, doesn't he just want to borrow money!

If you want to borrow money, just say it.

The last time I borrowed money to build a ship, wasn't it like this?

Big brother really doesn't look like an emperor.

Zhu Youzhen secretly complained about Zhu Youxiao's expression in his heart.

can think about it, but looking at such a big brother, Zhu Youzhen felt particularly relieved.

Although Zhu Youxiao's words were not completely spoken, Zhu Youzhen still easily understood what Zhu Youxiao meant.

"Big brother, how much do you want to borrow?" Zhu You saw that Zhu You's school period was not finished, and simply asked directly.

was asked by Zhu Youzhen, but Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"600,000." Zhu Youxiao simply said this number.

"How much?" Zhu Youzhen screamed, and his face instantly darkened.

Last time, I gave my eldest brother 80,000 taels to build a ship, but after only a few months, my eldest brother asked for another 600,000 taels.

I'm not a banker......

No, although I'm a bank opener now, my brother is a little too dark!

Zhu Youzhen complained strongly in his heart.

Secretly lucked in his heart, Zhu Youzhen decided that he must not pay this money.

600,000, in fact, Zhu Youzhen can't get it out of his way to raise it well.

But this time the eldest brother asked for money, and it has not been more than half a year since the last time he asked for money to build a ship, and the amount is so huge, how dare Zhu Youzhen take it out again.

If he happily takes out 600,000, if in a few days, Zhu Youxiao asks for another 600,000 or 1 million, then what should he do?

Seeing Xiao Wu's violent reaction, Zhu Youxiao regretted it in his heart.

This money shouldn't be opened to Xiao Wu.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but think of Wei Zhongxian's difficult expression.

That was three days ago.

"Your Majesty, the old slave really has no other way!"

Wei Zhongxian knelt in front of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse, his eyes were red, his face was full of haggardness, and he seemed to have not slept well for several days.

"Your Majesty, please also borrow one or two from His Royal Highness King Xin, and when the autumn tax comes up, the old slave will return it to His Royal Highness King Xin immediately."

Seeing that the emperor's face was still difficult to decide, Wei Zhongxian fell to the ground and hit his head as a sound.

"Your Majesty, Ning Yuan's battle is very important.

If he wins, then the court must give a large sum of silver as a reward for the army. Otherwise, who will fight for His Majesty in the future.

If defeated, the imperial court must take out a large amount of money to reorganize the defense of Shanhaiguan to prevent the old slave from taking advantage of the situation to attack Shanhaiguan. ”

Raising his head, Wei Zhongxian had a look of shame on his face.

"The old slave should die, so far he has only raised more than 100,000 taels of silver, which is really not enough to pay for the Liaodong military!"

Wei Zhongxian said loudly as he kowtowed to the ground again.

"Please Your Majesty, lightly promise the dragon, please ask His Royal Highness the King to borrow one or two for the turnover of Liaodong. It only needs to be borrowed for a few months, and as long as the autumn tax is put into the warehouse, the old slave will immediately return it to the king of letters. ”

Hearing Wei Zhongxian's hoarse and trembling voice, although Zhu Youxiao couldn't see his face, he could also understand his ashamed and embarrassed mood.

Wei Zhongxian, as the actual manager of the household department and the inner treasury of the imperial court, even asked him, the emperor, to borrow money from a vassal king.

This can be regarded as the Ming Empire borrowing money from individuals!

This dignified Ming Empire actually got to borrow money from individuals, how could he, Wei Zhongxian, as a manager, not be ashamed, how could he not be difficult.

Looking at Wei Zhongxian lying there, Zhu Youxiao's heart couldn't help but soften.

He knew that Wei Zhongxian had indeed tried his best, and he really couldn't be harsh on Wei Zhongxian anymore.

Liaodong's military spending was already a little stretched thin for the imperial court, but for the sake of his emperor's face, this year the imperial court began the project of rebuilding the three major halls.

The millions of taels of silver spent on the project of rebuilding the three major halls, and the court still had money left.

This happened to be spread out again, and the old slaves of Liaodong came to attack Ningyuan again, and it was indeed difficult for Wei Zhongxian to raise this additional military spending.

It's really hard for Wei Daban.

Forget it, then I will lose face again, and find Xiao Wu again. I only hope that Xiao Wu can really get the money.

"How much is missing?" Zhu Youxiao made up his mind and asked softly.

"600,000, only 600,000 taels of silver."

As soon as he heard the emperor's promise, Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed and immediately reported the required figures.

"600,000 taels of silver." Zhu Youxiao's heart shook sharply.

Xiao Wu is afraid that it will be difficult to come up with so much silver!

Do I ask or don't ask?

Look at where he is, the thirsty Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao finally decided, he still asked Xiao Wu!

However, Zhu Youxiao found that he still overestimated the thickness of his face.

When it came to the end, when he was in front of Xiao Wu, Zhu Youxiao still couldn't say the words of borrowing money directly.

Fortunately, the smart little five guessed his thoughts.

In fact, borrowing money from Xiao Wu again, Zhu Youxiao was extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

This borrowing is different from the last borrowing for shipbuilding.

The last time I borrowed money, it was more of a joke.

Just like Xiao Wu said that his industry, his eldest brother has shares. The 80,000 is actually a name for Xiao Wu.

After all, the treasure boat was made by Xiao Wu, and Zhu Youxiao also planned to row the treasure boat to the brothers' warehouse for use.

Without the name of Xiaowu's contribution, the transfer of ships is not very easy to operate.

But with the name of Xiao Wu's contribution, the use of those ships by the imperial court is actually equivalent to requisitioning Xiao Wu's boats. Xiao Wu is also the right way to take it back and use it.

This can also gag the mouths of those Qingliu Wenchen.

But this time the loan was very different.
