The funeral of the first emperor was not in accordance with his wishes, but was carried out in a big way, and after holding the service for 27 days, it was a grand enthronement ceremony, everyone got rid of the filial piety clothes, and put on a new auspicious dress to enter the palace to worship, but no one thought that when Zhu Houzhao appeared, although he was also wearing a red auspicious dress, a pearl crown and jade belt, but a white gauze was still wrapped around his waist.

Zhu Houzhao did this, naturally to express his nostalgia for the first emperor, but the ministers and officials saw it, but they were all dissatisfied in their hearts, the enthronement is a big day, representing joy, indicating that a new emperor will dominate the world, but the emperor is still obedient, which is a bit unlucky.

But anyway, the entire enthronement hall is quite smooth, after the lengthy ceremony, the Jingshi has returned to the original state, except that the palace reported that the prince became the emperor, and the emperor became the emperor Xiaozong, it seems that nothing has happened, whether it is a person who takes tea and cool, or whether it is that people are good at forgetting, after all, most people only pay attention to their own recent interests, and only pay attention to the places that they can see with their naked eyes, as for what emperor and what prince, what first emperor and what new emperor, it is too far away for them.

The officials were anxious to find their place in the new court, the merchants were still busy with their business as long as the national policy remained unchanged, and the craftsmen had nothing to think about, most of them were busy from early morning to dark, and they did not stop all night, although the salary was higher than when they were farmers and tenants, and they were well fed, but after this day and again, which one was not exhausted, and who would care about the new emperor.

I'm afraid that only the scholars and squires are the ones who pay the most attention to this matter, after all, they are idlers, and the idlers have nothing to do, so they always have to read the newspaper and pay attention to the new news, but the readers and squires don't seem to be very optimistic about the new emperor, and there have even been discussions, saying that the current emperor is not as good as the previous emperor.

This kind of macro prediction is made in private, but no one cares, and no one has enough to support.

But at this time, the inner court has quietly changed, several companions to the emperor in front of the painful Chen, crying and crying for an hour, Zhu Houzhao and his father have only one thing in common, that is, soft-hearted, especially the people around him, eight companions cried, Zhu Houzhao suddenly became a little unbearable, the addition of the West Factory took advantage of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are busy with the eyes of the will issued a will, this is the will, but there are no bad rules, it stands to reason, the cabinet is only an auxiliary government, this auxiliary government is only in charge of the affairs of the foreign court, The West Factory naturally belongs to the Inner Court, that is, even the silver is allocated by the Inner Treasury, so it is too late to oppose it even if the Central Decree comes out, Liu Jin got his wish, and was in the important position of the eunuch of the West Factory, Gu Dayong was the commander and eunuch, and the other six companions were naturally filled with it.

With the emperor's order, an institution of the West Factory was hastily built in the north of the noon gate, and then recruited fans everywhere and began to move.

All this is carried out under the eyes and ears of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, every move has attracted a lot of attention, originally at this time, Liu Chengfeng should have inserted a lever horizontally, in fact, before that, Liu Chengfeng received Zhang Yong's secret report, but it was obviously a little late, and before he could get his idea, the will was completed.

However, for Liu Chengfeng, this matter does not seem to be necessary, of course he knows that whether the West Factory is added or not, it is actually a trivial matter, even if the West Factory is stopped, as long as the cabinet is still auxiliary and the emperor is in charge of everything, as long as the celebrant is close to the cabinet, Liu Jin and others are favored in front of Zhu Houzhao, then there will be an inner factory without a West Factory, and these people will eventually become a force to be reckoned with in the inner court.

In fact, in the eyes of others, maybe this is a harbinger of raising tigers, but Liu Chengfeng's analysis is very rational, the emperor ascended the throne, there are no cronies around, in this case, someone must compete with the cabinet, and Liu Jin These people are closely related to the emperor, and the emperor naturally trusts them.

Originally, in the expectation of the first emperor, Liu Jin and these people were entrusted to Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengfeng and the emperor were close, so that Jinyiwei and the cabinet could compete to achieve a certain balance between the inner court and the outer court, but now Liu Chengfeng was crowned king, and the first emperor's wishful thinking was also empty, and the emperor had just ascended the throne and was still under control. Things can't go on like this, he is the Son of Heaven and the emperor, how can he be controlled by others everywhere, so Liu Jin and these people gradually became hot.

Originally, the cabinet did not seem to be in a hurry to drive Liu Chengfeng away, since the West Factory was built, in their opinion, the obstacle to Liu Chengfeng is not small, Liu Chengfeng may come out to oppose, the cabinet clearly opened a pair of sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, but Liu Chengfeng did not move at all, so the annoyed and angry cabinet naturally did not report expectations for Liu Chengfeng, and then, several imperial envoys have begun to write, saying that Liu Chengfeng is the king of Chu, and he has been unwilling to take up the domain, which is against the etiquette system, and now the edict of the king has been promulgated for two or three months, can not be delayed any longer, I implore the emperor to immediately order Liu to take the wind into the domain.

At first, there were only a few such edicts, and then, there were more and more such edicts, the emperor was indifferent, and he didn't seem to react at all, but the cabinet was more straightforward, and directly met with the Empress Dowager Zhang, and stated the matter, around the rules set by the ancestors, the sky fell wildly, and said that this was the last wish of the first emperor, and it must not be obeyed, the Empress Dowager Zhang was always confused these days, but when she heard the word first emperor, she finally made a compromise, and then a decree was issued, and Xuanliu immediately entered the palace to meet her.

In the palace of the king of Chu in Beijing, the upper and lower levels have begun to be busy, and it is a matter of time before the clan is concerned, and the family members will also have to take it away, so no matter when the palace agrees to the Liu family to go out of Beijing to become a domain, the preparations that should be made are still sufficient, and when the Yi Zhi has not yet arrived, Liu Chengfeng is talking to the tent in the mansion, to be honest, he knows that he has made countless money over the years, and he also knows that these silver are astronomical amounts, whether it is the beauty of the Fang, the treasure building, the treasure firm, or the study and report, and even the taxes of the Lianzhou domain, are extremely considerable wealth, Most of these wealth are managed by Wen Chenxi, but this is also the name, the real specific details are still counted in the account room in the mansion, and there is also a treasure bank to take care of him.

Now that he is about to move, Liu Chengfeng suddenly cares about his income, after all, the family goes far away, but it can't be done without silver, and when the time comes, there must be a lot of money spent there, and he has to have a bottom in his heart.

Liu Chengfeng's income, in addition to the usual expenses, most of them are directly deposited into Jubao Money, which not only gives Jubao Money a rich principal, in case of the possibility of a run, but also provides convenience for Liu Chengfeng, the prince wants to check the accounts, the account immediately went to communicate with the money bank, and finally gave a number, this number is enough to make people staggering, even Liu Chengfeng was surprised.

"Lord, if you only count the cash, the total amount of cash in the king's hand now is 179,320,000 taels......"

179 trillion ......

Liu Chengfeng was dumbfounded, he only cared about expanding his business over the years, but he never thought that he had accumulated so much income, but he thought that there was nothing wrong with it, now a single treasure building, the annual income is more than 40 million taels of silver, Liu Chengfeng's annual income is about 10 million, the current income of the treasure firm has a trend of steadily surpassing the treasure building, Liu Chengfeng occupies only less shares than in the palace, in addition to the beauty of the fang, now the beauty fang has opened all over the country, Liu Chengfeng occupies the majority of the beauty square, two or three million a year is steady, and Lianzhou's taxes have also risen in recent years, not to mention.

Coupled with other expenses, although these businesses are actually the most profitable in the palace, but the expenses in the palace are also large after all, the emperor wants to build a school, build roads, and build river embankments, in fact, all the money used is the inner treasury, and although the expenses of Liu Chengfeng's family are not small, but after all, there is a limit, and this family support fee is a drop in the bucket in Liu Chengfeng's income.

Although with the rise of commerce, there are a large number of gold and silver from many parts of the world into the Ming Dynasty, the price of silver has been depreciated a lot, once a person had a tael of silver can easily support the family, now there is no five or six taels of silver are difficult to maintain, the price of land has soared ten times and a hundred times, but Liu Chengfeng's wealth, still even he himself was surprised, this is only a few years of effort, his own private money, it seems that the palace in the treasury is not much better, he nodded towards the tent, said: "You come to the account book to this king to see." ”

The account office hurriedly handed the book to Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengfeng accounted for them one by one, after confirming that it was correct, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he also knew for the first time that he had become the richest man in the world, and the wealth of the world was only afraid that one percent of it was in his own hands, and with sufficient funds, it seemed that when he arrived in Lianzhou, he would not be too bad.

"Say to the Qianzhuang Branch, exchange all of them for a full amount of silver money, and then I will go to the Qianzhuang in Lianzhou to withdraw some, so that they can prepare first."

Liu Chengfeng finished reading the book and reconciled the room.
