"I want to ask you for a holy decree, so that the king of Siam can make it convenient for Wechen, Wechen wants to go there to buy a poppy garden, you don't have to pay a penny of silver, and when the time comes, you will have forty percent of your shares......"

"Sell opium? That thing has always been a tribute to Siam, and the eunuchs of the inner government often sell it secretly to the outside, and it is said that the price is better than gold, but I don't know what the profit is? Zhu Yijun interrupted Zhang You and said, he already knew about this matter, and he had investigated and dealt with several people, but unfortunately he was repeatedly banned, and slowly he was too lazy to care.

"Now the opium on the market is about more than ten taels of silver and one tael, and there is no market, excluding the cost of planting and refining, and then removing the cost of transportation, the profit of ten taels is definitely there, and we calculate according to the most conservative estimate that a thousand acres of poppy orchards produce 10,000 taels of opium every year, and it is a profit of 100,000 taels a year, if it is 10,000 mu, what about 100,000 mu? Military strength is built on the basis of a strong economy, and when we have earned money from Siam, we will return to raise a high-combat army, and we will be stationed over there to watch the small countries, and whoever is obedient will be the king......"

Zhang You has already inquired and talked eloquently.

Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "That's right, only a little fox like you kid can come up with such an idea," he paused, thought about it and said: "But this matter has to be kept secret, some people have already said that I am desperate for military force, so for the time being, this matter is only you and me...... Cao Aijin, did you hear that? If a word leaks out of you, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"The ministers don't dare!" Cao Aijin lowered his head deeply and said with sincere fear.

"I know you don't dare, but it's just a reminder."

While speaking, the Han generals finally lifted the Hongyi cannon on the Danqi, Zhu Yijun stepped forward and stepped on it, the cannon did not move at all, and couldn't help but sigh and sigh: "It's really heavy, look at this, it should be cast iron, right?" Don't blow up the chamber? ”

"A total of four cannons were captured, and they really didn't blow up, and the thickness of the building was one thing, and Weichen felt that there should be something else mixed in it."

Smelling the thick smell of gunsmoke, Zhang You said.

Zhu Yijun nodded, circled around the cannon a few more times, and didn't see anything unusual, so he waved his hand and signaled to the Han general: "Carry it down, find someone to send it to the Gewu Institute, and let them go for details." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and entered the hall, and Zhang You and Cao Aijin hurriedly followed.

"I didn't find any useful clues on the Liaodong side, but Li Chengliang's side fought a few more victories, I pondered, let's let it go first, Tian Yi is right, you can't chill the hearts of the soldiers in front."

Zhang You frowned when he heard this, but did not interject.

Zhu Yijun continued: "The day after tomorrow is the day of the spring exam, it seems that those who steal the exam questions will not show up again, the new exam questions have already been thought of, learn the lessons of the last time, I have to wait for the day of the exam to write it out, even if it is leaked again, it will be useless." ”

"Your Majesty still thinks thoughtfully, in this way, this talent selection ceremony will become the most just and fair one, the selection of talents, will be grateful for Your Majesty's holy virtues, bow to the best, and then die ......"

"I can't imagine that I can be content with you after I have done my best to die...... Liu Tai's case has been suppressed, who hasn't made a mistake yet, Yuanfu has made a great contribution to the court, he doesn't hide his flaws, he turned around and told him, he was relieved to be honored, and when the emperor got married, he still wanted him to be the ambassador of the main marriage. ”

Zhang You might as well Zhu Yijun suddenly mentioned the Liu Tai case, and hurriedly knelt down when he heard the words: "Thank you, Lord Longen, Weichen thank Your Majesty for your father." ”

"Get up, compared to the exploits that Yuan Fu has made for the Ming Dynasty, what I have done is not worth mentioning...... Tell Master Taifu that you don't have to drill in the dense clouds all day long, and when the weather is good, you will enter the palace to see me, and I have been taught for many years, and I haven't seen him for a long time, and I really miss him in my heart. ”

Zhang You estimated that Zhu Yijun was telling the truth at the moment, after all, he had already deviated from the original historical trajectory, and now that he was in power, without Zhang Juzheng's constraints, he would naturally no longer hate Zhang Juzheng as recorded in history.

In addition, there is also his own relationship, no matter how much Tian Yi has to be trusted, but he doesn't want to replace his position in Zhu Yijun's mind immediately, without him, he has real talent and learning, and he is by no means comparable to those who only rely on whiskers to take the position.

Thinking of this, Zhang You was much more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely give you this words." To tell you the truth, my father misses you too, so I have to inquire every time I go. ”

"Well, after all, he watched me grow up, not to brag to you, I guess in his heart, I am more important than your son."

Zhang You naturally couldn't refute him, and laughed with him for a while, took out the list of gifts and presented them, and then said goodbye - the gifts were actually prepared with the help of Xing Shangzhi, and the silk and satin naturally didn't need to be talked about, what all kinds of exquisite porcelain, fresh fruit trees, in short, they were all specialties of Jiangnan, and he made a whole five boats, what they were, he didn't know what they were.

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, I went to see Concubine Ning first, and then went to Cining Palace, and when I returned to the mansion, the sun was about to set.

Zhang You didn't go back to the backyard directly, but went directly to the small courtyard where there were no travelers, and when he entered the door, he saw him leaning on the head of the bed and chatting with Qian Wugua, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You are so blessed, you have to eat and drink enough every day and have someone to accompany you, you are bitter Lao Tzu, your feet don't touch the ground all day long, and you have to be afraid to guard against the two old horsemen of Wuyazi and Qiu Desheng......"

"You think I want to stay in bed all day?" The traveler glanced at him, and said angrily: "I wish it would be good immediately, hurry up and find those two bastards to take revenge." ”

Zhang You sat next to him on the bed, grabbed his wrist and took his pulse while saying, "I'll just complain, maybe I'm used to you being next to you, and you feel very insecure when you are injured...... Well, the pulse is much better, you didn't hurt your internal organs, but you bleed too much, and you will be fine after a few days of cultivation. The true element has been restored, right? ”

"Well, it's almost, but if you really want to fight, your cultivation is at least two percent lower, and if you want to recover to the peak of the peak, it is estimated that it will take at least ten days and a half months, but fortunately, there are people from Beisi to protect you, and the cultivation of the Li family is not inferior to me...... You're just afraid of death, those two bastards snatched the seal, and they must have run away a long time ago, so they won't run back to Beijing to assassinate you. ”

"Phew, what do you know? I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens, I'm shouldering the heavy responsibility of Ming Zhongxing, and I can't die if anyone dies...... Old Qian, pay attention to Li Jicheng and them, and report it as soon as there is news. Saying that, he suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, I haven't bothered to ask you, how is it with Geng Sun's family?" ”
