Zhu Chen thought about it for a while, with the thinking of his later generations, it was not difficult to solve this problem.

And Zhu Chen has a keen political vision, how could he not even answer this kind of question?

Zhu Chen immediately said: "The imperial court secretly threw out all the existing grain at a low price, let the market accept it, and when the grain price is getting lower and lower, it will cause panic, and the large grain farmers will compete to sell the grain for fear of falling into the blood. ”

This is somewhat similar to the smashing of the market in later generations.

However, in the early Ming Dynasty, there was no such thought, so when Zhu Chen's words came out, Xia Yuanji was struck by lightning!

He froze in place, as if he had been hit by something.

In the past, he also tried his best to buy grain from the hands of these large grain farmers to supplement the warehouses of the imperial court, but these large grain farmers were very hateful, they were all waiting for the price and selling, and they refused to sell, and the court had nothing to do.

When the famine comes, or where there is a disaster, these large grain farmers will make a fortune, Xia Yuanji, as the head of the household, but he doesn't like them very much, but there is no way to take them.

When I asked this time, I just asked casually, and I didn't think that Zhu Chen could have any good answers.

But now, Zhu Chen's answer completely shocked Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji was the first person to be famous in charge of finance in the early Ming Dynasty, the Yongle Emperor asked for money for the five expeditions to Mobei, Zheng He went to the West to ask for money, and built the Yongle Grand Ceremony to ask for money.

These three things, in any dynasty, the finances are only enough for expenditure.

But because of Xia Yuanji's presence, he was stunned to survive the three expenditures!

Such a financial tycoon is already very sensitive to finances, and at this time, after a little bit of Zhu Chen's allocation, he suddenly had a feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Xia Yuanji was a little excited and did not hesitate to appreciate.

He never expected that this ordinary folk could hide such a talented young man, and it is no wonder that the emperor praised him, and Yu Xuekui also admired him.

This method alone is by no means something that ordinary people can think of.

It can be said that Zhu Chen has created a new idea of finance.

This financial tycoon, looking at Zhu Chen's eyes completely changed, with a little more appreciation and admiration, and inexplicably felt more cordial: "How did you think of it?" ”

Yu Xuekui smiled, and couldn't wait to recommend Zhu Chen to Xia Yuanji: "How is it?" Lord Xia, I said he was a genius, right? ”

Such a method, even if Yu Xuekui is a layman, he understands it.

It's just a pinpoint and a brilliant plan.

If there is such a way, are you still afraid that those large grain farmers will not release grain?

After all, in the country, the largest grain producer is the imperial court, if the imperial court sells, can they withstand it?

Zhu Chen replied with a smile: "The two adults have praised it falsely, I just came up with a way according to the market, if there is any mistake or omission, I hope the two adults will correct it." ”

Modest and polite, Xia Yuanji is more satisfied with Zhu Chen, how pleasing to the eye.

"Little brother, you have solved a big problem for the household department." Xia Yuanji said solemnly.

"Say it casually, adults don't take it to heart." Zhu Chen said with a smile.

Xia Yuanji shook his head: "No, this method has helped the household department a lot, the imperial court is often short of food, there are disasters in various places, the imperial court wants disaster relief food, the emperor wants military food for war, and the annual food collection is a big problem for the household department." ”

"Now, it's been easily solved."

"Little brother, please accept my worship!"

After that, Xia Yuanji was about to lean over.

Yu Xuekui's face changed, and he hurriedly supported Xia Yuanji, and said in a low voice: "Lord Xia, you are a scholar of the household department, a first-class official position, this is a bit annoying to him, right?" ”

Xia Yuanji shook his head and said: "Talent is not divided into grades, only ability." ”

After speaking, Xia Yuanji solemnly bowed and saluted Zhu Chen.

The big man in the court saluted Zhu Chen in person, if Zhu Di saw it, he was afraid that he would laugh from ear to ear.

The old man likes to see these civil officials bowing down at the feet of the grandson.

Zhu Chen also hurriedly returned the salute: "My lord has tormented me." ”

"If you don't dislike it, the little brother might as well stay in my household department, and I can arrange it for you now." Xia Yuanji said suddenly.

Now Zhu Chen has a meritorious reputation, although he has not been promoted, he can go to the household department to experience, and after he is promoted, he will be given a formal official position.

Xia Yuanji admires Zhu Chen very much, just as he likes the imperial grandson very much in the evolution of history, and he will become one of Zhu Chen's closest people in the future.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Emperor Yan's face changed.

"Lord Xia, you are not kind, the gold was discovered by the old man first, he should enter my Hanlin Academy, you want to rob people with me." Emperor Yi opened directly.

Xia Yuanji laughed and said, "But he obviously has more talent for the household." ”

Emperor Yi's face was red, and he said angrily: "If you want to rob me again, then don't blame the old man for breaking off relations with you." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly looked at Zhu Chen: "Little brother, I have set up a table of wine in the Drunken Immortal Building, if you don't dislike it, come with me, how about it?" ”

Drunken Immortal Building, that is the most expensive restaurant in Yingtian, Yu Xuekui, a Qing official, has given up his blood.

Zhu Chen didn't squirm, thought for a while and said, "Even if it's an invitation, it's not easy for the junior to refuse." ”

Emperor Yan pulled Zhu Chen and smiled: "Let's go." ”

Only Xia Yuanji was left standing in place, looking at Zhu Chen's figure, with a smile on his thin face: "This kid has an inexplicable sense of intimacy." ”

However, soon Xia Yuanji remembered the method left by Zhu Chen.

He took a deep breath and strode back to the main hall, intending to write it down quickly.

……

Meanwhile.

Jinyi Wei is in prison.

At this time, the crown princess came to visit her brother and daughter-in-law in the edict prison with food at the behest of the prince.

The crown prince wanted to come in person, but the official business was huge, so he had to let the crown princess replace him.

It also took a long time to coax Crown Princess Zhang before the Crown Princess agreed to come.

Walking into the Imperial Prison, several brocade-clothed guards respectfully took the crown princess to the outside of Concubine Wei's cell.

The cells were separate, but they were a hundred times worse than the environment of the Han Palace.

In the dimly lit cell, only a beam of sunlight shone through the window, and Concubine Wei curled up in the grass, and a few immortal Xiaoqiang crawled on the side......

When Princess Zhang saw those cockroaches, she immediately got goosebumps all over her body and shouted, "Brother-in-law, I'm coming to see you." ”

Concubine Wei raised her head and saw that it was Crown Princess Zhang, and couldn't help sneering: "It turned out that the sister-in-law was here." ”

"You usually go against me, and to be honest, I don't like you, but you're all in prison, and our grievances are over."

After that, the crown princess instructed the palace maid behind: "Come, bring the dishes in." ”

The palace maid responded and hurriedly brought the dishes in.

Concubine Wei opened the vegetable box and looked at it, and immediately sneered: "Shredded lentils? You're still so slammed. ”

The crown princess nodded, and said helplessly: "Yes, in the palace, I am the poorest person, how can I be like you, the golden beans are scattered casually, so poor that I can only eat shredded lentils every day." ”

"It's just that I pity you, I can't even eat shredded lentils now."

Concubine Wei's face changed, and she was choked with anger.

She looked at the crown princess, and there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

Why does she have a husband who is a crown prince and a son who is so smart, she will become the queen and the queen mother in the future, and she will be imprisoned in this edict forever.

Under jealousy, Concubine Wei suddenly sneered: "I don't feel sorry, I have a son, but your son is dead." ”
