Zhu Di, who was lying on the recliner, gradually woke up.

He glanced at Ji Gang, frowned, and said, "Let him go to the crown prince, what are you looking for me for?" ”

A major national event, now the crown prince is in charge of the country.

Ji Gang shook his head and said, "Emperor, I don't know, Xia Yuan Jifei wanted to see you, and said that he wouldn't leave if he couldn't see you." ”

"Where is he?" Zhu Di asked.

Ji Gang said: "I'm waiting for you in the imperial study." ”

Zhu Di sneered: "Do you still want me to go back to the palace to find him?" ”

After a pause, Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Okay, let him come here to find me." ”

Ji Gang was surprised: "But, the emperor ......"

Zhu Di said lightly: "Let Xia Yuanji guess and think by himself." ”

Ji Gang's heart sank, indicating that he understood.

He then made a quick trip to the palace.

About an hour later, Natsuhara was brought.

Hurriedly followed Ji Gang out of the palace, and Xia Yuanji walked into the Zhu Mansion.

As he walked, he asked, "Lord Ji, is the emperor in this Zhu Mansion?" ”

Ji Gang was indifferent by nature, didn't answer him, and just walked forward.

Xia Yuanji had no choice but to follow into the compound.

In the big courtyard, Xia Yuanji saw the emperor at a glance, and he was lying there basking in the sun.

And in the small pavilion, there is also a teenager who is reading.

After a closer look, the young man's appearance was very familiar, and Xia Yuanji still remembered that he proposed a countermeasure to deal with the big food farmers.

Who is this teenager?

Why did the emperor appear here, and he was still so casual, just like his own home.

None of this is clear to Xia Yuanji.

However, he is not here for this at the moment, he has more important things to report.

Hurriedly walked to the emperor's side, Xia Yuanji bowed and arched his hand: "Emperor, Shuntian has come to fold." ”

Zhu Di frowned and nodded: "Don't call me the emperor here, call me handsome." ”

Xia Yuanji is such a smart person, even if he knows that the emperor doesn't want to reveal his identity.

He nodded again and again, and said like a chicken pecking rice: "Dashuai, there is a shortage of silver over there in Shuntian, and he is in a hurry to find me." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di glanced at him.

Shuntianfu, with another name, Beiping, Beijing, is also the future capital.

In the first year of Yongle, in order to better resist foreign enemies and strengthen his control over the north, Zhu Di wanted to move the capital to Beiping.

However, the ministers of the DPRK and China strongly objected, and the matter dragged on for a long time, and finally Zhu Di overwhelmed the ministers, which made the construction of the Forbidden City begin in Beiping.

In later generations, the famous Forbidden City was built by Zhu Di.

It's just that there are too many things to prepare to move the capital.

Even if it is a few years, it can't be completed, so according to history, Yongle will be in Yongle for 18 years.

It can be said that the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in Sheji, which was pioneered by Zhu Di!

Yongle Emperor never lacked backbone.

At this moment, when he heard that Shuntianfu was short of money, Xia Yuanji found him again, and Zhu Di understood that this old guy was looking for money from him.

When Zhu Chen saw Xia Yuanji coming, he had no intention of reading.

He knew Xia Yuanji, this was an official of the household department, and according to politeness, he should go over to say hello.

After thinking about it, Zhu Chen still stood up, walked to Xia Yuanji's side, and said with a smile: "Lord Xia, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Natsuhara Yoshichi smiled back, he had a good impression of this young man.

Zhu Di frowned and said: "Shuntian is short of silver, you allocate money to him, what do you want me to do, I can turn it into silver for you." ”

Xia Yuanji's face was a little helpless: "Dashuai, you also know that the country has no money." ”

"Tobe, there's no money."

Yes, I was guessed, and I came to cry poor again.

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Don't be sloppy with me, I can tell you, you have to give Shuntian money if you are short of money, and if you delay the process over there, you have to be offended." ”

Xia Yuanji smiled bitterly: "Dashuai, there is no hurry to move the capital for the time being, can you delay it for two years, you just plucked me out, and it won't be extra money." ”

Zhu Di's eyes widened: "Build a bridge and build a road for the prince, and you will have money?" ”

Xia Yuanji was choked for a moment and couldn't speak.

Zhu Chen also listened to it.

It seems to be about the relocation of the capital, which is currently under construction in Shuntian, and the lack of money is the primary problem.

The Yongle Dynasty has done too many things, and these require huge funds.

Funding difficulties are understandable.

Zhu Chen was a little curious about Zhu Di's identity, why was the matter of moving the capital under the care of the old man?

However, Zhu Chen still said a good word for Xia Yuanji: "Old man, the country's finances are in difficulty, you force the household department so much, and the household department has no choice." ”

Zhu Di sneered: "If you don't have a rut, you have to think about it." ”

"The matter of moving the capital to Shuntian, it is imperative, who dares to delay?"

The old man dreamed of moving the capital quickly, so as to strengthen his control over the north, and when he heard that there was no money, he was naturally angry.

He looked at Xia Yuanji, and his tiger eyes looked like he was going to eat people: "If you can't do it well and can't come up with the money, then write your resignation and go home to support the elderly." ”

Xia Yuanji bowed, his face a little ugly.

Now he is in a dilemma.

First, he really has no money, and second, the emperor forced him to take out the money, which is not his life.

So much so that Xia Yuanji was sad and angry in his heart, and he was miserable.

But he knew that if he said one more thing, the emperor would be angry.

With a heavy sigh, Xia Yuanji turned around and planned to leave.

At this moment, a hand grabbed him, and when Xia Yuanji turned around, Zhu Chen's warm smile was placed in front of him.

"Lord Xia, don't leave yet, I'll persuade the old man."

Advise?

You are a young man, what can you do to persuade this old man who eats people and doesn't spit out bones.

Young, still too young, I don't know how ruthless this tiger eats people.

Xia Yuanji expressed his gratitude to Zhu Chen for his kindness, but at the same time felt that Zhu Chen's persuasion would not be effective.

However, Zhu Chen had already walked to Zhu Di's side and said, "Old man, are you talking about moving the capital to Shuntian?" ”

"Hehe, you kid, you guessed it?" The old man was happy with Zhu Chen's intelligence.

Zhu Chen grinned: "It's just such a thing, I'll know it as soon as you talk about Shuntian." ”

After a pause, Zhu Chen said: "Old man, you have to understand the officials of the household department." ”

The old man was happy.

Stinky boy, is this going to train grandpa?

Instead, listen to it.

Zhu Chen said, "Old man, I'll settle accounts for you." ”

"Zheng He went to the West to ask for money, right? A few years ago, the imperial court asked for money for compiling the Yongle Canon, right? The Northern Expedition to Mongolia asks for money, right? ”

"Where does this money come from, it's not from the household department."

"You always force the household department to take money, isn't that embarrassing people? The emperor just forced them, and you forced them too. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yuan Kedah's heart was relieved.

Right!

That's what to say!

It is to tell the old man about these accounts, so that the old man can know that the money is not so easy to earn, and how much pressure the household has endured over the years.

Even if Zhu Chen admonished the immovable emperor, just this set of rhetoric, Xia Yuanji agreed with Zhu Chen very much and felt sympathetic.
