Money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible.

In the past, when Zhu Di was still the king of Yan, he was often troubled by money, and it was not until Hu Ye's appearance that his troubles were completely solved, and he had enough funds to recruit troops.

But now Zhu Di has encountered the same situation, because after four years of fighting, all the wealth he accumulated when he was the king of Yan was spent, and he originally thought that Nanjing's treasury still had some savings, but it turned out that Nanjing's treasury was poor, and there was not even food.

The four-year battle of Jingyan crippled half of the Ming Dynasty, how could it be quickly recovered without enough money? Now people in Shandong and Hebei are waiting for food with their mouths open.

So these days Zhu Di is worried about this matter, it just so happened that Hu Ye and they sent him money, although he also knew that there was no problem with the food in the Sanhualou, but since the money had been collected, it should be regarded as Li Xin's contribution to the imperial court.

Hu Ye and the others looked at Zhu Di's eyes, they understood a little, they also knew Zhu Di's difficulties, thinking that the dignified son of heaven had to worry about money all day long, the taste in their hearts must be uncomfortable.

"Alright, that's the end of this matter, you guys go out."

Zhu Di waved his hand and asked Hu Ye and them to withdraw, although he really wants to fill the treasury now, but the normal means are too difficult, a few days ago, they were basically the homes of poor officials, otherwise who would have more money and would accompany Zhu Yunwen to be martyred?

So now if you want to fill the treasury, you have to use some abnormal means, but he can't participate directly, so this group of gentlemen comes in handy.

Hu Ye already understood what Zhu Di meant, these shameless things naturally can't be done by Zhu Di, anyway, they have already framed them once, so they don't care about coming a few more times.

However, this goal is still very particular, and when they do business normally, they will naturally not make up their minds. But they will not let go of those who come by illegal means, such as forcibly seizing the land of the people and depriving the people of their fat and ointment for huge profits.

If there is evidence, let Ying Tianfu do it directly, and if there is no evidence, make evidence, anyway, this is not the first time they have done this.

As a result, in just one month, there was a group of gentlemen in Nanjing who were particularly famous. Their status is not low, and they specialize in going out to various high-end places, such as those high-end restaurants. Large money banks, as well as various casinos.

At first, those places thought they were big money, and treated each other with courtesy, and then they found that these gentlemen would not give money at all, and just when they wanted to ask for money, they found that these gentlemen had not been beaten, and they began to wail on the ground, and then the servants came. And then there was no then.

The restaurant was seized, the money village was forced to close, the casino was also transferred underground, and even the green building was much more restricted. The girls didn't dare to go out on the street to pull people, for fear of pulling a certain gentleman, and it would be unlucky.

However, behind those industries, there are all kinds of big people's backs. After all, there is no backstage, how can it be possible to be mixed up in Nanjing?

So after those industries were seized, some people couldn't sit still. began to write to the emperor, saying that the eldest son of a certain family was misbehaving, and the young master of a certain family had no rules, and asked Zhu Di to order rectification.

Of course, Zhu Di was furious, saying that whose child was so uneducated! He also issued a holy decree to deal with those troublemakers. As a result, after retiring from the court, he went to see what was slowly piling up in the treasury.

"Your Majesty, isn't it okay to go on like this?"

Xu Miaoyin followed Zhu Di's side, looked at the rapidly developing treasury, and whispered to Zhu Di.

"Doing extraordinary things in extraordinary times, this is also their inspiration to me, if we don't do this, it will be difficult for the war zone to recover, the life of the people will be very difficult, it will be winter soon, if there is not enough food to transport to the north, the scene of six years ago is very likely to be repeated."

Zhu Di looked at the things piled up in front of him, there were grain, silver, copper coins, silver tickets, and all kinds of strange things, all of which had to be exchanged for food, and then transported to the northern theater of operations, where they had been severely injured in the past few years, and if they could not get supplies, they were afraid that they would starve all over the land, which was even worse than the great drought six years ago, after all, it was now September, and it would soon be winter, and hunger and cold were coming.

"Don't worry, I have counted all the places they have picked, and I won't wronged a good person, all of them are ill-gotten gains."

Seeing that Xu Miaoyin still had some opinions, Zhu Di patted her on the shoulder, and then said, "Okay, let's go back, and when we raise supplies for the whole winter, I will tell them to stop." ”

Hu Ye thinks that they can't stop at all, this is the fifth restaurant they came to, the first four were all seized because of the use of spoiled ingredients, although there is a cook in order to prove that his ingredients are right, he still did not escape the order to be seized, because Wang Zhutou is very conscientious, and now wherever he goes, he has a bucket of pig manure on his body in a bamboo tube, if Hu Ye and Zhang Fu have a quarrel with which restaurant, then pig dung will come in handy.

"Yezi, who is the boss behind this restaurant?"

Looking at the restaurant in front of him, Zhang Fu asked Hu Ye in a low voice.

Hu Ye rolled his eyes, isn't it you who do the intelligence work? Why are you still asking me when you get here?

"Well, in fact, we checked, this restaurant has no behind-the-scenes owner, but his family has a lot of profits." Zhu Yong smiled, his eyes were shining.

"Where are you doing here? People are serious business, and they come in a good way. ”

Hu Ye said that he would raise his legs and leave, although they were ordered by Zhu Di to get supplies for the imperial court, but they definitely did not engage ordinary people. In the four restaurants they went to before, the boss behind the scenes was either Hou Ye or a certain commander, and those people's net worth was not innocent, so Hu Ye didn't have any psychological burden at all.

But this restaurant has no backstage, and being able to do it like this shows that it is their true ability, and Hu Ye will not collapse in such a place.

"Hehe, since the sons are here, please come in and talk about it."

At this moment, a middle-aged man came out of the restaurant and said to Hu Ye and them with a smile.

Hu Ye and they are very curious, their current name is a rotten street in Nanjing City, which restaurant didn't hear about them when they saw it? The owner actually took the initiative to invite them in? Is it stupid?

"Look, the shopkeepers have invited us in, can we not give face?"

Zhu Yong smiled and went in with Liu Fu and a few people.

"Shopkeeper, aren't you afraid that you will suddenly find food with pig manure in your kitchen?"

Hu Ye looked at the shopkeeper curiously and asked.

"Haha, I'm sitting up straight, what am I afraid of?"

The shopkeeper laughed, and then invited Hu Ye and Zhang Fu in.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, they found that although the decoration here was not as luxurious as the scattered flower building, it had a unique flavor.

"A few sons, please upstairs." The middle-aged man took Hu Ye and the others to the second floor, and then opened a private room.

"What do you mean, shopkeeper?"

Hu Ye saw the wine and food that had been prepared in the private room, and asked the middle-aged man curiously.

"Hehe, the boss already knew that you were coming, so he prepared the food and drinks in advance and waited for you to come." The middle-aged man replied with a smile.

"You knew we were coming? Or your boss? Hu Ye asked curiously.

"Yes, everyone use it slowly, I won't bother."

The middle-aged man retreated with a smile, and then led the door, leaving a group of dumbfounders looking at each other.

"Brother Zhang, didn't you say that there is no one else behind this restaurant?"

Hu Ye looked at the door and found that there was no one else around, so he asked Zhang Fu curiously.

"Well, this, we are not omnipotent, there will always be a time when one or two are missed."

Zhu Yong smiled, and then came to the edge of the table, looking at the table full of dishes, and drooling greedily.

"If you miss one or two during the war, it's a matter of losing your head." Hu Ye glanced at Zhu Yong, then sandwiched the dishes on the table with chopsticks, and found that it was still steaming, it should not have been prepared for a long time, what he was most curious about was why the boss behind the scenes knew that they were coming? And just set up a banquet waiting for them?

"Hehe, a war is a war, we are enjoying it now, and when the emperor has gathered enough money, maybe we won't be able to do this."

Zhu Yong didn't care, he had to stuff the meat slices in his mouth.

"You're not afraid to eat you." Zhang Fu slapped the meat slice in Zhu Yong's hand, now things are so weird, what if there is medicine in it? It's all hung up here, who are you looking for to cry to?

"A few sons."

At this moment, the middle-aged man just now appeared again, but when he came this time, he was holding a box in his hand, which looked heavy.

"Huh? What's the matter? Hu Ye frowned and asked loudly.

"A few sons, this is the five hundred taels of gold that my lord prepared for the emperor, and one hundred thousand taels of silver tickets, which can be regarded as a congratulatory gift to the emperor's enthronement."

The middle-aged man walked over, put the box on the table, and whispered. Then the box was opened, and everyone immediately saw a pile of golden things, it was gold!

Five hundred taels of gold! It can be exchanged for tens of thousands of taels of silver, and if it is exchanged for a silver ticket, it can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of taels. With the addition of the 100,000 taels of silver tickets, this box is worth a fortune, which is worth a month's tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty.

"I said shopkeeper, you're not mistaken, are you? Are these really for the emperor? Zhang Fu stretched out his hand and touched the gold, then picked up an ingot and weighed it, and found that it was really heavy and very pure, so he asked curiously.

"Of course it's true, my lord just left in the car." The middle-aged man pointed to a carriage outside the window and said.

Hu Ye and the others looked along the direction and did see a carriage.

"Shopkeeper, who is your master? Why did you take the initiative to hand over so many silver tickets? Hu Ye asked.

"Well, the master won't let me say it, I don't dare to talk nonsense. But the lord said, when you put these silver tickets in the hands of the emperor, you will know who he is. The middle-aged man smiled mysteriously and left. (To be continued......)
