Chen Mingxia nodded with a smile when he heard Zhu Yuan ask: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Yan, the old minister has been in the military aircraft department for many years, and found that there are many industries in His Majesty, such as Foshan Iron and Steel Plant and Dongguan Iron and Steel Plant in Guangdong, more than 10 Xuanwu Lake Gunpowder Factory in Nanjing, more than 10 Leizhou Sugar Factories and Salt Farms, many Iron Mines in Qiongzhou, Annan Coal Mine, Nanjing Ma'anshan Iron Mine, Shanxi Coal Mine, etc., Your Majesty has a total of more than 320 industries in the country, and there are more than 10 million silver dollars dedicated to Your Majesty every year. These are the nobles who are helping His Majesty to manage! ”

Zhu Yuan knew that his son was rich, not to mention anything else, that is, Zhu Xiang, a princess with a low status and status, was married, and his father prepared a dowry of more than 500,000 silver dollars. But today, when I heard Chen Mingxia say that his father could make tens of millions of silver dollars in those factories and mines every year, Zhu Yuan was stunned for a while.

Chen Mingxia said quite little, Zhu Hongsan in addition to these industries on the surface, the most important thing is to control the dominance of trade with Nanyang, every year from Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, silk, tea, porcelain, etc., Zhu Hongsan accounted for 30%, this is a big entry. It's just that Chen Mingxia is in charge of the Military Aircraft Department, and he can only have access to military-related iron and steel plants, gunpowder factories, etc., and nothing else.

However, Chen Mingxia's estimate of Zhu Hongsan's annual income of tens of millions of silver dollars is a bit nonsense, although Zhu Hongsan earns a lot, but the expenses are also large, steel mills and other military-related factories are operating at a loss, no way, the country is yours and still want to make money? Now Zhu Hongsan can earn more than 2 million silver dollars in trade every year, and other industries are operating in debt.

Zhu Yuan stumbled after hearing what Chen Mingxia said, "Mr. Chen, say so. So the father's industry is run by those craftsmen? ”

Chen Mingxia nodded and said, "Although it's not all, it's almost the same!" The two major iron mines in Qiongzhou are Anqing Bo Iron Bull to help take care of, the Xuanwu Lake gunpowder factory is managed by Duan Hongyi of Huiningbo, the factories in Guangzhou are all taken care of by Sun Xing, and other factories and mines across the country are similar, all of which are presided over by those nobles! His Royal Highness King Yan, now you know how much power these inconspicuous nobles have in their hands! ”

Zhu Yuan's eyes glowed red when he heard Chen Mingxia say this, if there is still Zhu Yuan in this world who can be red-eyed, probably except for the throne, it is money. Zhu Yuan, as the prince of the prince, gave him several factories when he opened the mansion, and he could earn twenty or thirty thousand silver dollars a year, although it was not much, but it was no problem to provide for Zhu Yuan's carefree life.

But everyone has a pursuit, and Zhu Yuan's pursuit is to be the emperor. If you want to be an emperor, you need to have a group of people around you to give advice, and from time to time you have to do some unsightly work, which requires money, after all, people follow you not to build a harmonious Ming, only real silver can win people's hearts.

This is also the main reason why Zhu Yuan is not as good as those elder brothers, although the prince has no property, but there are people under the prince! Last year, Zhu Yuan knew that the prince's hands and feet were not clean, and he had to get more than 100,000 silver dollars every year in Henan alone, not to mention other provinces.

The second brother Zhu Jiang, the king of Qin, was the same, Zhu Jiang made some money in the Japanese country when he burned, killed and looted, and at the same time, Zhu Jiang had a close relationship with the Japanese army, and used the navy's warships to make a big move every year, which was a lot of money.

Not to mention the third brother Zhu Huai, the king of Chu, Zhu Huai is backed by the Tong family, Tong Yangjia is in charge of the army's military production, and tens of millions of silver dollars are sold every year, and a slight leakage in the finger seam is enough for Zhu Huai to make a lot of money.

Compared with several adult brothers, Zhu Yuan is a poor man, except for the annual income of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, he still has to buy people for this money? It's a complete pipe dream.

Zhu Yuan was overjoyed when he heard Chen Mingxia say this, if he really did what Chen Mingxia said, his father's industry would earn tens of millions of silver dollars every year, as long as he won over those nobles, he wouldn't be like playing with four or five hundred thousand silver dollars a year?

Zhu Yuan hurriedly sat down and asked, "Mr. Chen, what should the kid do?" Please advise Mr. Chen! ”

"This is simple, the Marquis of Guangning has just been punished now, it is the period of low mood, King Yan will naturally gain the favor of the Marquis of Guangning by going to the snow to send charcoal at this time, and after a while, he will ask the Marquis of Guangning to introduce other nobles, isn't this a matter of course?"

Zhu Yuan heard Chen Mingxia say this, hurriedly got up to prepare gifts, and went to visit Li Fugui.

Li Fugui has been spanked for the past few days, so he took leave to recuperate at home, and yesterday Tie Niu and several of them also came to visit the house, and everyone felt the same when they talked about the persecution they were subjected to. But there is no way to be uncomfortable, the society is like this, the big fish eat the small fish, the small fish eat the shrimp, as the lowest level of the nobles, Li Fugui and Tie Niu, there is no good way, so they can only accept it.

Today, Li Fugui was recuperating at home, and the housekeeper in the house came in to report that there was a clan outside the door asking to see him, saying what kind of auxiliary general he was.

Li Fugui didn't care, most of the clans of the former Ming Dynasty were killed by Liukou and the Manchu Qing, but Zhu Yuanzhang had millions of children and grandchildren, and there were still some clever ones who survived. After Zhu Hongsan occupied Beijing Zhongxing Daming, these guys came out of the deep mountains and old forests, intending to continue the glory of the Ming clan.

It's just that Zhu Hongsan didn't have a good impression of these poor relatives, so he issued a holy decree in Nanjing, lifting the rule that the clan was not allowed to engage in the three industries, and let these parasites find their own jobs. But these guys have been raised by the imperial court for hundreds of years, and they have long forgotten how to survive, so these guys are all gathered in Beijing, under the pretense of getting the emperor to take back their fate.

But Zhu Hong's three hearts are like iron stones, and these clans have nothing to do with him, so they can spend millions of silver dollars every year to raise a bunch of parasites, so these clans have a hard time in Beijing, and they live by fighting the autumn breeze in the circle of nobles.

Today, Li Fugui heard that an auxiliary general came to visit, and thought that the poor ghost had come to fight the autumn wind again. At this time, Li Fugui's farts were in pain, and his mood was very unbeautiful, so he heard the housekeeper say this and scolded: "Lao Tzu was beaten, these guys still came to fight the autumn wind, let them go!" ”

When the housekeeper heard what the old man said, he hurriedly said: "Master, this auxiliary general is different from the one who came before, and he doesn't look like he has no money!" ”

Li Fugui knew what those poor clans were like, and they were about to return to the truth and become Zhu Chongba, so he sent out to become a monk, and now there is a rich one, which can't help but make Li Fugui very curious.

"Huh? What did he say? ”

"Master, he said that he is the nephew of the master, and he came to visit the master when he heard that the master was in trouble!"

Nephew? Li Fugui didn't know that he had a nephew of that clan, there were a few clans in Wuchang County back then, but there was only one who survived, that is, the current emperor Zhu Hongsan, could there be anyone who survived?

Li Fugui nodded when he heard the housekeeper say this, since he is a fellow villager in Wuchang, it is better to meet him, if he is really an old acquaintance, he will give a few dollars, and Li Fugui's family is not bad for one hundred and eighty silver dollars.

The housekeeper got Li Fugui's approval and went out of the mansion to bring in the auxiliary general. Li Fugui was lying on the bed, and when he raised his eyes and saw the young man who entered the room, he was stunned, what kind of clan is this that fights the autumn wind, isn't this Zhu Yuan, the fourth son of the emperor?

The prince is different from those unlucky clans, although they are all auxiliary generals, but this Lao Tzu is too powerful, if you don't get it right, you will be disrespectful to yourself, and it will be over.

Li Fugui hurriedly struggled to get up from the bed, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Old minister Li Fugui, meet His Royal Highness King Yan!" The housekeeper of the Li Mansion was stunned when he saw the old man's front and back Gong, didn't the old man just now scold these people who don't know how to fight the autumn wind? How can you call the king of Yan now?

Zhu Yuan saw that Li Fugui was about to kneel down and kowtow, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said, "Uncle, please get up quickly, the little nephew is no longer the King of Yan!" "Li Fugui is much older than Zhu Hongsan, in fact, Zhu Yuan should call him his uncle, but who dares to be the emperor's brother? Even Zhu Hongyi, the king of Wuchang County, who is related to Zhu Hongsan, has to call himself a younger brother, and now Zhu Yuan has already promoted him by calling Uncle Li Fugui.

Li Fugui was helped up by Zhu Yuan and lay down on the bed again, Li Fugui said: "Although His Royal Highness is in trouble, everyone knows what is going on in Henan, Your Majesty just asked His Royal Highness King Yan to carry the limelight, and according to His Majesty's favor for King Yan, King Yan will soon be restored!" ”

Zhu Yuan knew that Li Fugui was saying good and obedient, but everyone loved to listen to good words, Zhu Yuan smiled: "Then borrow the good words of my uncle!" ”

Li Fugui hurriedly asked the housekeeper to go out to prepare tea at this time, and after the tea was served, Li Fugui asked: "King Yan, I don't know if you have anything to do with the old minister when you come to the house?" ”

The identities of Li Fugui and Zhu Yuan are too far apart, and every year it is only the old man of Huguang who gathers in the palace during the Chinese New Year, and Zhu Hongsan's princes can attend. However, they didn't speak in attendance, so there were not a hundred words that Li Fugui and Zhu Yuan said in the past ten years. Today, Zhu Yuan came to visit him for no reason, and Li Fugui was very curious about why!

Zhu Yuan smiled and said: "Uncle, in the past, our two fathers were not close, but it will be different in the future, this king and the third sister have the best relationship, although the third sister is from the county lord's mother, but since she was a child, she grew up in the palace of the princess of this princess, and this king is closer than her own sister and brother." Now that the third sister and Li Fu are married, do you think we can have a long relationship? ”

Li Fugui, as Zhu Hongsan's old subordinate, still knows a little about the chaos of the master's harem, and there are several women in the harem who are not titled, but they all have other names for the sake of difference. The princess is Zhu Yuan's wife, Zhu Pinmu? Weary? ぶ sacral fading invasion of the chrysalis training thumb? Weary? Rush? Trench Jumping Punishment Pot Courtyard 5 Mu Lift Ni Pan Xi? Frog shrugging neodymium haggard?? Twist the Qiang Xin Drink Twist?/p>

The background of these women is really not visible, Zhu Hongsan is embarrassed to give these wives titles, and if they are given titles, they will be written into history, if future generations see that Zhu Hongsan's wives are from this background, won't this affect the glorious and positive image of Emperor Shenwu? Although Zhu Hongsan doesn't have a good image, Zhu Hongsan is the emperor after all, so he still has to save some face.
