Chapter 16 Three Strategies for Poverty Alleviation (I)
Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Cheng entered the palace at the same time, but Zhu Cheng went to the Taihe Hall to debate with the lords, while Zhu Youzhen went to the harem to visit Concubine Li Zhuang, who raised him since childhood.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse held a banquet to entertain his two younger brothers, and Concubine Li Zhuang had nothing to do and came to accompany him.
At the banquet, Zhu Youzhen made it clear how Zhu Cheng pretended to be a red plum thief and robbed the lords. Zhu Youzhen is very talented in acting, his voice is loud, the details are appropriate, and he speaks with ups and downs, and he can hear that the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Concubine Li Zhuang are palms are full of sweat.
Concubine Li Zhuang took Zhu Youzhen's hand and said, "Jian'er, it's hard for you, otherwise, you can go back to the capital, live in the palace, safe and comfortable." ”
Zhu Youzhen said: "Mother don't worry about me, Brother Cheng covers me, it's fine." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse praised from the bottom of his heart: "Brother Cheng, you are really good. If I were to encounter something like this, I really don't know what to do. However, the son of a daughter can't sit down, so you don't need to take such risks. ”
Zhu Cheng said: "It's okay, now it's just a matter of dealing with a few dogs who take care of the house, and in the future, I will help the emperor fight the wolves that invade the country." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "I'm afraid that my younger brother will be reluctant." ”
The Ming Dynasty stipulated that the prince could not lead troops to fight and could not participate in politics, so if Zhu Cheng wanted to lead troops to fight, he had to be transferred out of the palace.
Zhu Youzhen said: "I won't be reluctant, I want to fight with Brother Cheng and guard the emperor's brother's country as firmly as an iron bucket." ”
When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard Zhu Youzhen's sincere and innocent words, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, it's up to you, I will let you be the first prince of the Ming Dynasty to lead troops in the future, and guard the door of my home for me." ”
The wine was half-drunk - of course, Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youzhen still drank honey water, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "When I invited you to the palace just now, I said that I have a troublesome matter, and I don't know if Brother Cheng can give an idea." ”
Zhu Cheng didn't dare to take it all over, just nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you say, Weichen listens." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "I recently checked the Neteku, and there is not much money. But there are a lot of places in the palace where money is needed, especially when I have to get married next year, can Brother Cheng find a way to let me make a little money? ”
Zhu Cheng thought about it carefully and said: "The minister has three strategies, the upper, middle and lower, and the lower policy can make the emperor earn some small money, but it is not of great help to the country; The middle policy is slow to make money, but it can unite the people; The money comes more slowly, and you may even lose money at the beginning, but when the money comes, it will be more and it will be of great benefit to the country. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was overjoyed and said: "I thought it would be great if you came up with a strategy, but I didn't expect that there would be three strategies in the upper, middle and lower, Brother Cheng is really a reincarnation of Kong Ming." ”
Zhu Youzhen said with a look of admiration: "Brother Cheng, you are really good." ”
Zhu Chengjun's face was slightly red, and he said, "Don't praise me, I will be proud." However, today's words are very important, and none of you here can divulge a single bit. ”
After hearing this, the eunuch and palace maid who accompanied her took the initiative to go out to avoid suspicion.
Concubine Li Zhuang also stood up and said, "The mourning family is a little tired, so I will go back to the palace to rest." ”
Emperor Apocalypse, Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Cheng hurriedly got up to send each other.
Wei Zhongxian was about to go out to avoid suspicion, but Zhu Cheng stopped him: "Father-in-law Wei, you go out and ask the guards to surround this palace, and no one is allowed to come within ten steps." After the arrangement is made, you come in again, and these things have to be done by you. ”
After Wei Zhongxian heard this, he was so moved that tears were about to flow out, in the end, it was his own family, such a confidential thing was told to himself, this grandson, he didn't admit it in vain.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said: "Wei Companion, don't be a child, hurry up and arrange it, I can't wait to listen to Brother Cheng talk about these three strategies." ”
Wei Zhongxian hurried out, and after a while, he heard the sound of him shouting. The Emperor of the Apocalypse scolded with a smile: "This old thing, sometimes when I say a word casually, he will be moved to tears, which is really unbearable." ”
Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse was scolding, Zhu Cheng heard the incomparable favor from his tone, and said: "Gonggong Wei has followed the emperor since he was a child, regarded the emperor as his heaven, and was very loyal to you. Although Gonggong Wei is a little greedy, he is very talented, and the emperor is really lucky to have this minister. ”
Zhu Youzhen seemed to have a different opinion, but he held back and didn't say it.
After a while, Wei Zhongxian came in breathlessly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this palace has been guarded like an iron bucket, not to mention people, not even flies don't want to fly in as one." ”
Zhu Cheng said: "Let me talk about the next policy first, the emperor's carpentry technology is the best in the world, and this wealth comes from the emperor's carpentry work." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse's eyes lit up, and some of his skills were unbearable, and he said, "Oh, my craftsmanship can also be sold for money?" ”
Zhu Cheng said: "Yes, no." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "What does this mean? ”
Zhu Cheng said: "I said yes, because the carpentry work done by the emperor is very exquisite and unbeatable in the world." And it can't be, the emperor's piece of furniture takes a long time, it is expensive, there are few people who buy it, it doesn't make much money, and it sells cheaply, so it's too much of a loss. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse thought for a moment and said, "Aiqing is reasonable, but I am reluctant to do a carpentry job casually and use it to fool people." ”
Zhu Cheng said: "Doesn't the emperor have a general as a prisoner, just let them do it." I've been idle lately, and I've thought of a new seat and bedding that should be a big hit if I make it. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said happily: "Say it and listen to it." ”
Zhu Cheng looked around, and Wei Zhongxian asked, "What is Lord Zhu looking for?" ”
Zhu Cheng said: "Iron wire is a thread-like thing made of iron. ”
Wei Zhongxian said: "This thing is rare...... By the way, there's some over there, I'll go get one. ”
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly ran out, and hurried back, holding a wire in his hand.
Zhu Cheng wrapped the wire around the chopsticks, took out the chopsticks, and the wire turned into a spring.
Zhu Cheng said: "This is the spring, but I made it casually, and when the time comes, His Majesty can make the silver bureau short and consistent." Your Majesty, you pinch this spring. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse pinched the spring, and as soon as he let go, the spring returned to its original state.
Zhu Cheng said: "Put the spring in the chair, the chair is moderately soft and hard, and the cushion is more comfortable, I call this kind of chair Anton chair." The spring is put in the mattress, it is warm and soft, and I call this kind of mattress a sweet dream. ”
As he spoke, Zhu Cheng picked up the pen and drew design drawings on the paper.
Wei Zhongxian picked up the drawings, blew dry the black water, and said, "Zhu Gongzi is a good character in the pavilion style." ”
After speaking, Wei Zhongxian held the drawings in both hands and dedicated them to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse unfolded the drawings, only glanced at them for a few moments, and then took the case and said, "What a wonderful design." Brother Cheng also praised me for being the best in the world in carpentry, and I think your carpentry is the best in the world. I still haven't figured out the mystery of the big turntable in the children's playground you designed, but don't tell me, I'll have to figure it out myself. ”
Zhu Youzhen whispered: "Brother Cheng, is it not good to do this well, will it make the emperor's brother's plaything lose his mind?" ”
Zhu Cheng said: "A check, one piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military." Can't the emperor have hobbies? Stop, in order to walk longer; Rest, in order to work better. ”
Zhu Youzhen nodded.
Emperor Tianqi's ears were very pointy, and when he heard Zhu Youzhen's words, he smiled and said, "Brother Zhen, have you heard that someone gave me a nickname, called Emperor Carpenter." Don't believe what they say, I only did the wood work after the dispersal of the dynasty. Remember, as a monarch, you can't bow down to everything, and you can only govern one side well by grasping the big and letting go of the small. ”
Zhu Cheng was shocked, this Emperor of the Apocalypse seems to be different from the historical record, it seems that after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, he poured dirty water on the Ming Emperor.
