Hao Fenglou looked at Zhu Di with resentment, today, he really felt what it means to be a pit and you don't negotiate.

Zhu Di's face was as usual, he put the fire tongs aside, seemed to feel a little hot, and tore the jacket on his crown dress very casually, and said lightly: "The prince is the prince, and I occasionally beat it a few times for his good." But you were unlucky, and you happened to escort the silver into the palace. Speaking of this, he paused for a moment before he said: "But in any case, this time you have indeed solved my urgent need, I originally wanted to reward you, but I heard that the Beizhen Mansion Division intends to appoint you as a deputy thousand households, since this is the case, then I will not do much, I invited you to come today, do you know what it is for?" ”

Hao Fenglou said: "Weichen doesn't know. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "This newspaper, I do have something to live with, the prince has a grudge after all, I summoned you today to show the prince, so that he doesn't dare to blatantly trouble you." You see, although I can't help you, I still plan for you, and you don't have to thank me. ”

Hao Fenglou is about to spurt out a mouthful of old blood, and I want Lao Tzu to thank you, do you really think that Hao believes that thunder, rain and dew are all nonsense of divine grace?

However, Hao Fenglou finally understood the meaning of this so-called summoning, which was nothing more than to use Hao Fenglou to beat the prince and at the same time make some kind of protection for Hao Fenglou. As the emperor, since I want to tell everyone that I am covering this person, no one should think about it, of course, there is no need to say it directly, in fact, a summon is enough to arouse reverie.

Zhu Di continued heartily: "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you are very dissatisfied, it's just that, don't mention the old things, didn't I say it?" Don't be petty, I said so much to explain you, Mr. Yao came to the palace and told me a lot of things about you, I like you to be stingy, ambitious, can move your head, act decisively, and have a bit of my demeanor; Since I'm already here, I'll eat with me. ”

As soon as his words fell, a eunuch offered warm haode wine, and added another cup, drinking warm wine in winter, which was pleasant. Hao Fenglou didn't refuse, and drank with Zhu Di, Zhu Di always smacked his lips when he drank, and couldn't help touching his beard that was wet with wine, and said: "Tell me, how did you get this silver, although I know a little bit, but there are always some things that I can't figure out." ”

Hao Fenglou didn't hide it, so he said everything he did in Donghuamen, zuihou said: "In fact, the Ming Dynasty did not say that there was a commercial tax, this is an example of Emperor Taizu, but although Taizu intended to light taxes and simplify the government, but now it is very different, the imperial court does not collect commercial taxes, but the local officials will collect them in various names, the result of zuihou is that ordinary merchants and ordinary people do not take advantage of it, and the court is unable to make ends meet. And Weichen's means, to put it bluntly, are actually just collecting commercial taxes on behalf of the imperial court. Wechen set up rules at Donghua Gate, so that everyone in Donghua Gate can act according to this rule, which is more attractive to merchants than other places......"

Zhu Di listened carefully, sometimes poured himself a drink, a few glasses of wine in his stomach, spitting wine in his mouth, roughly understood Hao Fenglou's various actions and effects in Donghuamen, Zuihou couldn't help but nodded: "This is actually the same as governing the army, the military law is strict, and the soldiers are at ease, but they are afraid that the rewards and punishments will not be clear, and everything depends on the likes and dislikes of the commander......"

Zhu Di talked about his military theories endlessly, and said: "It is said that there is no rule and no circle, from the ancient pre-Qin to the present, but it is not easy to establish rules, especially your small hundred households, it is not easy at the feet of the Son of Heaven." Others don't understand, but I do. ”

Zhu Di sighed, but he said that Hao Fenglou's heart was true, it was really not easy, what are the rules? To put it bluntly, everyone has to abide by it, but in this Nanjing city, how many wealthy families and nobles, these people will care about your rules? I operate in Donghuamen, I don't know how many people I have offended, and how many conflicts have been caused.

And this kind of thing, others will not understand, the reason why Zhu Di understands it is because he once governed a huge army as a commander.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, and said to the eunuch beside him, "Take my knife." ”

The eunuch went quickly, and after a while, he came cautiously holding a long knife, this knife was simple and unpretentious, and the cowhide sheath on the outside had even appeared gaps, and the handle seemed to be a little mottled, Zhu Di took the knife and pulled out half of the knife, and a sound like a dragon's groan came out, the blade was still sharp, different from the appearance, and the whole knife body had a trace of coldness.

Zhu Di sighed: "This knife has been fought with me in the east and west, and I don't know how many thief chiefs I have killed in the desert, and it is difficult for Jing to come, and I don't know how many crises I have survived, and I don't know how much blood I have stained." It's just a pity that the knife is still the same knife, and I am no longer a knife player. There is a saying that the bird is good and the bow is hidden, and now that there is no bird, this sword has become a burden. He retracted the knife into its sheath and threw it directly towards Hao Fenglou.

Groove ......

Hao Fenglou is not a 'strong man' who comes and goes, seeing the heavy knife smashing towards his skull, his face was as frightened as earth, and a donkey rolled on the spot, so he heard a snap, and the knife fell to the ground. Hao Fenglou breathed a sigh of relief, it's so dangerous, dealing with people like Zhu Di, the danger of Zhen Nima, Lao Tzu is not Ling Xue, you just send the knife to your hand, but you still have to play a set in the martial arts TV series.

Zhu Di suddenly looked embarrassed, but pretended not to see it, put his hands behind his back, and looked away.

At this point, Zhu Di showed a careful side, by no means like a reckless martial artist, his unintentional actions just avoided the embarrassment in the palace.

Hao Fenglou took advantage of this gap and hurriedly picked up the knife, and couldn't help but say, "Good knife." ”

Zhu Di said: "The treasure knife is given to the strong man......" When it comes to the strong man, thinking of Hao Fenglou's performance, it is clear that he is a thief, Zhu Di couldn't help but say: "This knife, in the future, is the rule of Donghua Gate, you are so self-conscious, to the money and food in the **, Donghua Gate has to make more efforts, to travel thousands of miles, you always need to feed haode forage, I don't care if you are a thousand miles of horses, now wear this knife, so that I can serve me." Haha, look, so much gossip again, come, sit down, drink well, I'm going to try your drink.

Hao Fenglou put the knife on his waist, and he was quite proud in his heart, with the knife in his hand, I have it in the world. But...... It seems that this knife is indeed too cold, and when the tooth defense group earns more silver, it is time to get a shark skin scabbard, and a few gems are embedded on it.

Hao Fenglou's mood was suddenly freed from the depression of being pitted, and he sat down and accompanied Zhu Di to drink.

After three rounds of drinking, he is a little drunk, this Zhu Di is also massive, still sober, he is not as expensive as those literati when he drinks, he always needs a few side dishes, and slowly considers it, in this era, it is definitely a cow drink.

At this time, Sanbao walked in quickly, bowed down and said, "Bixia, His Royal Highness King Ning has arrived." ”

"Haha......" Zhu Di daxiao, said to Hao Fenglou: "My sixteenth brother is here, quick, please come in." ”

Hao Fenglou stood up and said, "Then, Weichen retreats." ”

Zhu Di waved his hand, got a little drunk, and said, "What are you going to do, just sit here." ”
