Zhu Houzhao originally felt that as the crown prince, it would not be difficult for him to get a few taels of silver, so he would agree to Shen Xi to write down an IOU, but after he ran into a wall with Zhang Yanling and Liu Jin one after another, he began to mumble in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Didn't you say that the whole world is our family, why do I use other people's money and write IOUs? Can't even borrow money to do some business?

I'm!

No, I want to reason with my father and transfer Liu Jin, a bastard, I was upset when I saw him, and I actually cried poor in front of me!

Oh yes, I don't have any money with others, I can go to my father and mother to ask for it.

Zhu Houzhao thought of this joint, and his mood suddenly improved a lot, and he happily ran to ask Empress Zhang for money.

“…… Mother, I only want ten taels of silver, so you can give it to me. ”

The bear child has a routine with his father and mother asking for things, that is, shouting, until they annoy the elders, and the things belong to them.

In the past, Zhu Houzhao tried this trick a hundred times, and when he saw something good, as long as he told the old lady, the old lady would let him.

It's a pity that this time the bear child hit a wall again!

Because Empress Zhang didn't want to give her son the impression that it cost money to buy things...... My son is the future emperor, he can give him what he needs, why spend money on it?

Empress Zhang herself has never spent money!

Before Empress Zhang entered the palace, she had been kept in the courtyard of the deep house, and was sent directly to the palace gate from the boudoir, she had no chance to contact the silver money.

"Emperor, why do you want ten taels of silver?" Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Houzhao curiously, wondering why her son suddenly became interested in silver.

Zhu Houzhao turned his mind around, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, those palace maids, eunuchs, and gentlemen all have money, but I don't have it, I want to see what the silver looks like." ”

"Oh, it turns out that the emperor just wants to see what the silver looks like, it doesn't matter, I'll show you when I turn around, but ...... Silver is a dirty thing, you don't touch it easily, and when you ascend the throne to rule the world in the future, you don't need to spend money yourself, you just need to tell the people below what you want. Empress Zhang said with a pleasant face.

Zhu Houzhao pursed his mouth, looking disapproving.

Mr. Shen said that ordinary people in this world do not recognize anything else, but they recognize silver...... It's okay to borrow money, but borrowing money needs to be borrowed and repaid, and if I let others spend the money and don't pay them back, then wouldn't I become a robber?

I will be the man who will be the emperor in the future, not a robber!

"Mother, you just give it to the child, the child promises not to spend it indiscriminately, and when you have the silver, the child will treasure it. Or the child lent out the money...... The queen mother didn't know that the interest rate on borrowing silver outside was very high, and the monthly interest rate of one tael of silver was thirty percent, and after a year, she could get twenty-three taels of silver. I have ten taels of silver, and in a year I will be ...... Two hundred and thirty taels, and then the child will be able to return to the queen mother. ”

Zhu Houzhao is playing his wishful thinking again.

Hearing this, Empress Zhang became more and more surprised, and asked, "Emperor, where did you hear these things?" Even the queen mother...... I have never heard of it. ”

"Queen Mother, don't care where I heard it from, the child didn't lie to you, as long as my mother gives me ten taels of silver, I will have two hundred and thirty taels in a year!"

Zhu Houzhao straightened his waist at this time and began to dream of making a fortune.

Originally, Empress Zhang only became a son because she was curious about silver, and said it casually, but she couldn't help but be cautious when she heard this...... The things that her son knows are obviously beyond her imagination, and the child who has never even seen silver in the deep palace actually knows about lending and rolling interest?

"Emperor, tell me honestly, who told you these words?" Empress Zhang's face turned cold, "The queen mother wants to ask him why he taught me such useless things as the emperor." ”

Useless!?

Zhu Houzhao had a mess of paste in his head......

Silver is so important, how can what my husband taught me be useless?

The little girl who has flesh and blood and looks pretty is pretty enough, I can buy it back with two small silver bills, buy whatever you want with silver, delicious and fun, everything.

"The queen mother, the child listens to what others say......"

Zhu Houzhao is a child after all, and his level of lying is not high.

Empress Zhang was furious: "You still dare to lie, are you easy to deceive when you become a mother?" Come on, who taught you this, Liu Jin? Or which East Palace speaker? ”

Zhu Houzhao was very embarrassed in his heart, he didn't want to confess Shen Xi, because Shen Xi said that as long as he confessed honestly, then Shen Xi would be sent out as an official, and he would never be able to teach him again.

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself: "Mr. Shen knows so many truths, and he can teach me to play and take me out of the palace, but I can't confess him." ”

"It's Gonggong Liu."

Zhu Houzhao could only confess Liu Jin in the end.

Originally, the bear child wanted to talk about his second uncle Zhang Yanling, but thinking that Zhang Yanling could take him out of the palace, it was a bit of a "role", so he had to sacrifice the relatively useless Liu Jin:

Liu Gonggong said that people outside can buy a little girl for four taels of silver, and said that as long as there is silver, they can buy a lot of good things. He also told me that private loans are all nine out of thirteen, which means that I borrow ten taels from others, and they only give me nine taels, and after a month, I will have to pay back thirteen taels. ”

"Smack!"

Empress Zhang slapped on the table, startling Zhu Houzhao.

Empress Zhang sneered: "Okay, he is Liu Jin, not only dare to slander my Zhang clan behind his back, but also dare to teach the prince these useless things, I think he is impatient...... Come on, take a stick, beat Liu Jin with fifty sticks, and see if he dares to talk nonsense! ”

As Empress Zhang's voice fell, there were eunuchs outside who immediately obeyed the order.

Zhu Houzhao's little head shrank, looked outside the palace gate, and then looked at the angry Empress Zhang, her face was blue and white, white and clear, and secretly regretted.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao already had a sense of responsibility, and felt that he had hurt Liu Jin in this way, and felt a little guilty in his heart, but at the moment, either Liu Jin was beaten with a stick, or his own ass was beaten by the board, and he could still distinguish which was more important.

"Liu Jin, you beat me up, this palace will write it down, and I will definitely reward you well in the future." Zhu Houzhao thought to himself.

Empress Zhang said: "Emperor, the silver can't be given to you, such a vulgar thing, how many people are ruined for its family, how many people are separated because of their wives, you are the prince, the future son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, you can't touch that bad thing." ”

Zhu Houzhao asked dissatisfiedly: "Does that mother give me silver?" ”

Empress Zhang shook her head resolutely.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was completely speechless, the three ways he thought were very easy were all ruthlessly blocked, and it seemed that there was only one last way.

I still have good food and fun things around me that I sell to others...... But who should I sell to?

This time, Zhu Houzhao set his eyes on the officials of the Zhan Mansion who came to the palace to give him lectures and waited for him.

Mr. Shen has a fortune, and you also have it, my good things, but they are all "imperial gifts", I can't sell them to you for some silver, right?

When I have the money, I can pay it back to Mr. Shen, and I can also use it to lend money to Liu Jin and them, didn't he say that he was short of money? It's just right to lend him money for profit.

At this time, Liu Jin had just been beaten with fifty sticks, and he couldn't get up on the bed, and even other close attendants were not taking care of Zhu Houzhao, and each person was beaten with five sticks to twenty sticks.

"What's the matter, you're all lame?" Zhu Houzhao saw that the eunuchs around him were walking awkwardly, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what did you say to the Empress? Let the little ones take this beating? Gu Dayong, the eunuch in the chamberlain, asked with a face full of grievances.

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself, you are stupid to me, and I will tell you what I said to my mother, won't I let you know that I was beaten because I said the wrong thing?

At this time, the bear child already had a scheming, and he learned to lie in order to achieve his goal, which he realized from leaving the palace. Zhu Houzhao said: "Why did the queen mother beat you, how does the palace know?" Maybe you did something to make her old man unhappy! Okay, okay, hurry up and move a chair for Hongu, and Hongu will hold an auction in a while. ”

"What?"

Gu Dayong almost thought that he had misheard.

"Auction, you don't care, go in and take out all my good things, put them on the table, and whoever wants to buy them will pay for a while, one or two pieces of silver...... No, things are cheap and valuable, and the price can't be the same. "Zhu Houzhao already has business experience at a young age.

This is also what he learned from the world of flowers outside when he went out of the palace several times, plus listened to the historical stories told by Shen Xi.

Gu Dayong touched his buttocks, which had been beaten with ten sticks, and dragged his heavy steps to the prince's bedroom to get something.

Soon, the lecturer of the East Palace arrived, and this time it was Liang Chu, who was not treated by Zhu Houzhao.

"Mr. Liang, you're here, come, I'll pour you tea."

Zhu Houzhao also knows what hospitality is at this time, since he wants to sell things to others, he must always behave positively and let people feel his sincerity.

Liang Chu's brows furrowed......

What's going on, the prince has changed sex? Or is this kid afraid of punishment for doing something wrong, so please me first?

"Prince...... Today...... It seems to be different from before......" Liang Chu hesitated for a moment before he said.

At this time, the officials of Zhongyun left and right, as well as the officials of the Zhan Mansion such as the prince Xian Ma have all come over, and they are about to go to class, and they need to be responsible for the prince's daily study, and no one dares to slack off at this time.

"Is it different? Haha, I'm not busy with classes today, Hongu ...... I have some good things here, which my father gave me, and I will reward you today! ”

Zhu Houzhao learned wisely, and did not mention the trade first, but said that it was a gift, and I gave you something, and then I took some silver from you and came back, and it was considered a sale.

The people present looked at each other.

The prince's temperament has changed big enough, when will it be the prince's turn to reward things? Could it be that the emperor wanted to use the prince's hand to reward the officials, so that the officials would be grateful for the prince's kindness?

Including Liang Chu, they are looking forward to the reward.

They took this as Emperor Hongji's reward.

But when they saw the bits and pieces such as rattles, bamboo dragonflies, tangrams, spinning tops and other bits and pieces that Zhu Houzhao asked Gu Dayong and others to come up with, all the officials knew that this reward was basically a bear child playing at home.

"Prince...... This...... If there is no merit, the prince's reward cannot be accepted. "Liang Chu also has a good eye, these things are carved with dragons and phoenixes, or dyed yellow to represent the royal family, this thing is taken back to play with the children at home, it will cause trouble.

It's useless again!

Why did Mr. Shen say, and you say the same?

Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes, and then smiled: "It's not for nothing, it's not for you, one ...... for a tael of silver, and two taels of gold...... Take your pick! (To be continued.) )
