In Zhu Zhanji's small courtyard, after hearing Zhu Zhanji tell him in detail what he was going to do next, Zhu Zhanji suddenly said confidently: "Brother, don't worry, as long as you have silver, these are trivial things." ”

When he heard that all this silver was going to be handed over to him to spend, Zhu Zhanyong felt comfortable in his heart.

However, when he heard Zhu Zhanji say that he would return 97,000 taels of silver to his second uncle every month, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Big brother, you can't do this business! If we had invested all the silver in the pit land in the early stage, how could we raise so much silver in a month? Even if all the land can be reclaimed this year, it will have to be cultivated next year, and the harvest will be next year. We didn't have anything to gain at all in the short term! ”

Obviously, after listening to Zhu Zhanji's whole idea, although Zhu Zhanyong has full confidence in reclaiming land, he is also very aware that these lands will take time to transition.

Looking at Zhu Zhanyong's fussy appearance, Zhu Zhanji suddenly frowned and said, "You kid, what are you excited about?" Didn't I finish telling you, you're going to have a lot of people in charge of it right away, and you're still making such a fuss. ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's reproach, although Zhu Zhanyong understood that what his eldest brother said was right, he obviously didn't have the time to think about it at this moment, so he just nodded, and immediately said, "Then big brother, what can you do?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice: "After the land is reclaimed, do we have to find someone to plant it ourselves?" The water from our land is connected to the land and can be used at any time. This is much stronger than the rice fields of ordinary people. According to my meaning, the land we currently have is divided into two, and half of the land is used to hire people to cultivate it ourselves, so as to maximize the profits. And the other half of the land is leased out after it is reclaimed! ”

"Rental!?"

Obviously, Zhu Zhanyong, this kid, never thought of this.

Land for rent??

"Yes, rent! The rent of the tenant is collected in the form of an annual land use fee, which of course includes the land tax that needs to be paid to the imperial court every year. That is to say, the people who rent our land will own the people themselves in addition to the annual income after paying the corresponding land use fee. ”

"The land use tax that the imperial court needs to pay every year is directly paid by our inner treasury, which saves a lot of troublesome things in the middle and can also ensure the payment of the imperial court's taxes. At the same time, it also prevents the people who lease our land from being indiscriminately levied by the yamen in various places and make ends meet. ”

"At the same time, we have reduced the cost of hiring people in our inner treasury, and the actual owner of the land is still us."

As Zhu Zhanji said the benefits of this method, Zhu Zhanyong couldn't help but say: "This method is good!" In this way, you can get the benefits in a short time! ”

Looking at Zhu Zhanyong's excited appearance, Zhu Zhanji could only smile helplessly.

After all, it is a person of two eras, and many of his seemingly simple business behaviors seem to be clever in the eyes of this kid.

This is still a situation where Zhu Zhanji has no benefits to say.

After all, although their inner treasury is essentially an institution that exists to make money, they belong to the imperial court and the Ming Dynasty after all.

You can't just make money for the sake of making money.

Taking out a part of the cultivated land and leasing it to the people can solve the problem of income in a short period of time, and at the same time solve the problem of employment for some of the actual people, and those who do not have land can also get a way to obtain long-term and stable income.

At the same time, the treasury itself reduces expenditures and lightens the structure, so that a lot of cash reserves will not accumulate in this place for a long time.

In short, there are many benefits, many of which are not reflected in actual ways, but this does not mean that the benefits do not exist.

For example, the ability to resist risks, and so on.

But just the fact that you can get benefits in the short term was immediately highly approved by Zhu Zhanyong.

I spend money on weekdays, but this is the first time I have made money.

"Okay! Just do what you want, big brother! ”

Without waiting for Zhu Zhanji to give anything more, Zhu Zhanyong hurriedly left the house and headed towards the outskirts of Beijing.

In the blink of an eye, four or five days passed.

These days, Zhu Zhanji suddenly found that his life seemed to have returned to the state that no one cared about before.

Except for the third child of his family who sent people over from time to time to ask and explain the progress, as well as the affairs of the imperial examination from time to time, there was hardly anything to be busy with.

Although he enjoyed this kind of life very much, he was really a little surprised by this sudden change.

After thinking about it, it is estimated that the second uncle is now sitting in the position of the prison country, which has attracted a lot of firepower for him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but want to laugh.

As a second uncle, he is really a qualified shield.....

Meanwhile.

Inside the Jiming Temple.

The old man Zhu Di, as always, played Go with the old monk Yao Guangxiao in that room.

And King Han also took the opportunity to desperately make up for the old man.

"Dad, the expansion of the Shenji Battalion, the son has already done it, although the old family did not give the silver, but this is an errand for the imperial court, and the son has to make up the silver even if he smashes the pot and sells iron. No, the son-in-law asked your daughter-in-law to sell some of the fields and houses in the house, and after all, he made up for the old family's shortcomings. ”

Zhu Gaoxu, who was out of silver, naturally refused to let go of such a great opportunity to show his performance.

It doesn't make sense that the money is out, and the old man doesn't know it yet.

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, the old man Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look up at Yao Guangxiao in front of him.

When the old man handed over the 70,000 taels of silver to the kid, the old monk Yao Guangxiao was watching from the sidelines.

And Yao Guangxiao was also surprised when he heard the words of the Han King.

"Do you mean to say that you have made up another 70,000 taels of silver?"

Listening to the old man's words, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, also said with a look of embarrassment: "There is no way, there is no silver in the accounts of this court, and the ministers can only sell their property to the court." ”

However, I thought that the old man would praise him, but he never thought about it, but the old man just waved his hand and signaled that he could go down.

Seeing this, although Zhu Gaoxu wondered in his heart, he still left according to the old man's wishes.

After Zhu Gaoxu left, even if it was Zhu Di, he was a little confused at this time.

"Old monk, what do you think of these two people, who is making the old man me in the lake?"

Obviously, this matter is not right, it must be between his eldest grandson and the second child who is doing something in the middle.

But which of these two people is really unclear for a while.

After all, in his opinion, he, who is a grandfather, has already handed over the redemption ticket to the eldest grandson, and there is no reason why he should not hand over the silver.

As for the second child, maybe he will use the Prince's Mansion as an excuse to slander where did he get so much silver, but when he handed over the silver, he slandered and said that he didn't pay it, is this matter a matter that Hu Lane can get over?

And after thinking carefully for a moment, Yao Guangxiao said: "Judging from the expression of King Han when he spoke, it shouldn't seem to be a lie. ”

Yao Guangxiao did not give a clear answer to Zhu Di's inquiry, but he also said his thoughts.

Seeing Yao Guangxiao say this, Zhu Di immediately beckoned and beckoned the Jinyi guard outside the door.

"Go, check out, where did the 70,000 taels go."

"Yes!"

The matter itself was not that complicated, and when the brocade guard sent someone to investigate, there was a clear answer in less than half an hour.

"Back to the emperor, according to the owner of the pawn shop, it was His Royal Highness the eldest grandson who went to exchange the silver that day, and the silver was also sent to the prince's mansion. And after that, the subordinates in the prince's mansion said that the silver was all transported away by His Royal Highness the Third Emperor Sun. ”

"And there is also news in the palace that after His Royal Highness the eldest grandson left from the Jiming Temple before, he went straight to the Shang study room to meet with the King of Han, and after the two discussed, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson left."

Listening to the reply of the brocade guard beside him, Zhu Di couldn't help but look at Yao Guangxiao beside him, and said in surprise: "That kid poured some ecstasy soup into his second uncle, and he was able to make his second uncle not even want 70,000 taels of silver." ”

From the information available so far, Zhu Di easily guessed this result.

If it was really Zhu Zhanji's kid who secretly gave up these silvers, how could the second child let him go so easily, and there were four or five days in between.

never mentioned that the prince's mansion did not pay the silver, but took out his own pocket and took out 70,000 taels of silver again to make up for the hole.

However, compared to Zhu Di's surprise, the old monk Yao Guangxiao on the side was smiling.

And after thinking carefully for a while, the old man Zhu Di couldn't swallow this breath and said: "This little bastard even dares to buy his grandfather's silver." ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked back and forth in the wing room with a calm face, obviously thinking about what to do.

But when I think about it, I can't think of any good way.

After all, the two people involved in this matter, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

What can his old man say?

The Han kings all made up for the silver by themselves.

Just when Zhu Di frowned and couldn't think of any good way, Yao Guangxiao, the old monk on the side, said something incompassibly after seeing Zhu Di's appearance.

"With the temperament of the King of Han, how could he be willing to suffer this loss himself?"

Zhu Di, who heard the old monk's words, instantly understood the deep meaning of Yao Guangxiao's words.

If you want to understand everything, you must first understand why the Han King is willing to do this.

Only when these things are clarified, won't everything be clear?

Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

said to the Jinyi guard beside him: "Go, go to the palace to investigate carefully, and ask the person on duty, what the eldest grandson and the king of Han said in the study room that day." ”

"Yes!"

After the brocade guard left.

After the old man Zhu Di turned around twice, he seemed to suddenly understand something, and he couldn't help but be happy.

looked at Yao Guangxiao on the side and said: "This rabbit cub is really good, not to mention 10,000 taels from his second uncle, and he also fished an extra 70,000 taels of silver." ”

Yao Guangxiao sat on the side and smiled silently.

No matter what the situation of this matter is, in his opinion, it is a family matter of the old Zhu family, curiosity is curiosity, and if there is no deficit in this silver, it is not a big deal.

After talking and laughing, Zhu Di calmed down, and then pondered about what the army still needed to do before the next expedition.

The reason why he wanted his second son to be in charge of the country this time was to let him prepare everything before the expedition after he came up.

Otherwise, his eldest grandson is in prison, his father has the power of the courtiers, and his old man doesn't know how hard it will take to get everything done.

Therefore, he deliberately made the assassination, and used it as an excuse to temporarily take the position of the eldest grandson in prison, and at the same time arrested all the prince's forces in the court to the prison.

While doing his own affairs, he also took the opportunity to examine which of these ministers who were left for his sons and grandsons in the future were unreliable, and which ones were reliable and endured.

If he deliberately smeared the crown prince and eldest grandson as soon as he was arrested and imprisoned, in order to get out of prison as soon as possible, such a person basically has no possibility of being released from prison again.

When Zhu Di made a large list again, carefully re-examined it, and handed it to the Jinyi guard on the side, and said: "Give this fold to King Han and ask him to prepare it according to the content on the fold." ”

Hearing this, the brocade guard hurriedly took the order and left.

As for the contents of the fold, it is something that can only be done with a lot of silver.

But Zhu Di didn't think about whether King Han could do it.

Because the role of King Han on the throne is to do all this for him, if it can't be done, it will also become the reason for him to oust King Han.

Otherwise, the king of Han became a prisoner, and he took the title of prisoner again with a casual sentence?

This is a major event in the imperial court, although it is the power of his old man, but even if he is the emperor, he needs a reasonable reason.

Otherwise, it will not be enough to convince the public.

Regarding Zhu Di's thoughts, although the old monk Yao Guangxiao on the side never expressed any opinions from beginning to end, he saw it clearly in his heart.

Regarding Zhu Di's tricking of his son, the old monk Yao Guangxiao was also quite helpless.

After the old man Zhu Di made the list and was sent to the palace.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was leisurely eating bananas in the study, suddenly turned pale.

"Again?"

Looking at the more and more expenses on the list this time, Zhu Gaoxu felt that his head hurt a little.

This old man is endless, and there is also a mess of silver to spend in various parts of the imperial court, so what should he do with Zhu Gaoxu, the prison country?

Zhu Gaoxu, who was worried, walked back and forth in this hall.

But after thinking about it, I can't think of a way.

It will take some time for the transaction with the eldest nephew, and even if he gets the income of more than 90,000 taels of silver, it will not be enough to spend these expenses.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was in charge of the country for the first time, was suddenly a little anxious by these messy things.

But these things have to be done......

Thinking that the old man attached great importance to the matter of sending troops, Zhu Gaoxu directly sent someone to temporarily suspend the collection of books for the Yongle Grand Ceremony when he had no choice.

The silver used for the Yongle Grand Ceremony was appropriated to the construction of army equipment this time.

The only thing he can think of now is this method of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall, picking up important things and things that make the old man happy.

With the supervision of these affairs, more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Zhanyong's kid is also officially on the right track with the support of sufficient silver.

As far as the news from that kid comes back now, there are now nearly 10,000 people who are constantly cultivating the wasteland.

And more and more people are employed, and more people are constantly entering.

With the continuous addition of these people, the speed of wasteland reclamation is also increasing rapidly.

At the same time, when they saw that these wastelands were being reclaimed rapidly, the people who were still waiting and watching suddenly had confidence. For a time, the number of people paying land use fees surged.

Although I can't get the money to buy land from others, I still have the money to lease the land.

In addition, after leasing the land, the grain harvested each year is the same as that produced after the land was purchased.

The water source was also connected to the doorstep, I don't know how convenient it is.

Just when the things that Zhu Zhanyong was in charge of were going smoothly.

Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han in the study, completely lost the joy of the prison country in the past.

The old man's demands are constantly increasing, and he is looking to get him to prepare all the expenses for this expedition, but where will he get all this silver....

The Yongle Ceremony has also stopped, and the consumption that can be temporarily stopped has also stopped.

But there are still quite a few holes.

After all, this is the cost of hundreds of thousands of troops.

But in order to secure the position of the prison country, he also had to do it, and all the things that the old man asked for were met, and he didn't dare to have the slightest room for bargaining.

But seeing that the time set for him by the old man was almost up, there was still a big hole in the silver that needed to be prepared.

In a helpless situation, Zhu Gaoxu could only think of his eldest nephew with a lot of ideas.

In his opinion, the only one who can help him solve this matter now is this eldest nephew.

The gate of the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, got out of the carriage, he happened to meet Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang, who had just gone out and were about to take the carriage to the suburbs of Beijing.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly ran to the front and said to Zhu Zhanji: "Eldest nephew, the second uncle has something important to do with you. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but look at Hu Shanxiang beside him, and said, "Second uncle, what's the matter, my nephew is just about to go out, why don't you come back at night?" ”

But where can Zhu Gaoxu wait, so he hurriedly frowned and said: "Something important, something important, eldest nephew, no matter what you have, put it aside first, and help the second uncle solve this matter first." ”

Seeing that the second uncle was so anxious, Zhu Zhanji didn't want to say much, so he asked Hu Shanxiang beside him to wait in the carriage for a while, then got up and walked towards the lobby of the prince's mansion with the second uncle.

After the two of them sat down in the lobby, Zhu Gaoxu didn't care to take a sip of the tea offered by the next person, so he hurriedly said: "Eldest nephew, the second uncle is in trouble now, the old man threw all the messy military expenses to your second uncle in order to fight, but now there is any silver in the household, and if it can be embezzled, the second uncle has embezzled it, and now it is not a tael of silver." ”

"Big nephew, the second uncle knows that your kid is rich and has a lot of ghost ideas, so you can think of a way for the second uncle."

Looking at his second uncle's appearance, Zhu Zhanji understood that he was really out of line.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to beg like a scoundrel like now.

After carefully recalling what his second uncle had just said, Zhu Zhanji finally concluded: "To put it bluntly, there is no money?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly nodded.

Thinking about the old man's recent series of actions, as well as the special plan set up at the beginning, in fact, Zhu Zhanji has long known that there will be this day.

The old man is a person, and that's how he does things.

He can make you sit in the position of the prison country naturally, and he will also use the same logical reason to let you step down from the position of the prison country.

Thinking that he can force the second uncle to this point, almost everything the old man wants to do is basically done.

What I have to do now is to find a reason to pull the second uncle down from the position of prisoner.

It stands to reason that Zhu Zhanji should not be in charge of such a thing.

can't stand it, in the past few days, the second uncle has sat on the dragon chair and blocked too much firepower for himself.

It's been more than half a month, and the most worrying thing all day is where to go to have fun.

He didn't want such a good day to end like this.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanji suddenly said: "Second uncle, my nephew can help with this matter, but let's talk about it first, if your nephew helps you in this matter, you have to help your nephew keep his mouth shut!" Especially with my grandfather, I must not let him know that I did it. ”

Zhu Gaoxu, who is anxious now, how could he refuse such a thing, when he said: "Don't worry, eldest nephew, the second uncle will never say it!" If the second uncle leaks half a word to the outside, the sky will be ......"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly stopped him.

"If you have it, you can just agree, don't thunder."

Saying that, Zhu Zhanji thought about it carefully and said, "Second uncle, you ...... like this"

With Zhu Zhanji's narration, the second uncle Zhu Gaoxu's face was excited for a while, and his face was worried for a while, until Zhu Zhanji finished saying this method, Zhu Gaoxu had a thigh and said, "It's done!" Just do what you say! ”

Seeing that the second uncle agreed, Zhu Zhanji smiled, pointed outside and said, "Then the nephew can leave now, right?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said: "Go, go, the eldest nephew is happy, leave this matter to the second uncle!" ”

"Yes!"

After the two discussed, they left the prince's mansion one after another.

Watching the two of them leave one after the other, Zhu Gaochi, who had just come out of the backyard, saw this scene, and immediately frowned: "Why did these two brothers get together again." ”

Hearing this, the crown princess on the side suddenly laughed: "Do you say that about your son and brother, who is the father and who is the son between you and your son?" ”

But Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said: "With a mother like you, let him be an old man in the future, and I will be a son." ”

Beijing.

Following the carriage that Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang were riding, they came to the grain production area demarcated on the outskirts of Beijing, and came to the nearest hill to look into the distance.

Hu Shanxiang, who was beside Zhu Zhanji, was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of him.

"How so!"

Hu Shanxiang looked at the scene in front of him in amazement.

Tens of thousands of people, each wielding a hoe, are constantly reclaiming the wasteland.

On the other side of the wasteland, on the cultivated land that has been cultivated, there are also countless people who are bending down to plant seedlings.

This is not uncommon, and even very common.

However, the land and people that can't stand here are too concentrated.

Standing on the top of the hill, on the endless land, the dense crowd of people was working hard.

The neat canals divide the land and everything seems to be in order.

When these seemingly ordinary images are concentrated in one place, it is so shocking.

And when Zhu Zhanji, who was beside him, saw a gazebo in the distance, he said loudly: "Let's go, let's go to that pavilion to rest for a while." ”

"Okay."

Just when Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang walked towards the pavilion together.

Inside the Jiming Temple.

The old man Zhu Di and the old monk Yao Guangxiao walked together in the temple.

Looking at the smile on Zhu Di's face that hung up from time to time, Yao Guangxiao said as he walked: "I'm afraid the emperor will return to the palace soon, right?" ”

Zhu Di, who heard this, was stunned for a moment.

"Oh? Why? ”

Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "Every time the emperor comes to Jiming Temple, he has a calm face, and when he smiles on his face from time to time, it is time to leave Jiming Temple." ”

Hearing the old monk's words, Zhu Di did not hide it, and said: "The matter is almost done, and the second kid's ability is all that, if he doesn't go back, that kid will turn the court upside down." ”

Regarding Zhu Di's words, Yao Guangxiao has always been by his side, so he naturally understands what he is talking about.

I couldn't help but laugh.

Like the emperor in front of him, he likes to calculate his son on weekdays, and there are not many of these dynasties.

While the two of them were chatting and walking around the temple.

A Dongchang eunuch in the palace hurriedly ran in front of Zhu Di, and then said to Zhu Di: "Slave maid to meet the emperor!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di saw that this person was the person he specially sent to the second child, so he stopped and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The eunuch said: "Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness the King of Han asked the slave maid to present the excerpt to the emperor, saying that all the things that the emperor had explained before had begun to prepare, and according to the time, it would take less than half a month." The armor, bows, and arrows you have crafted will be complete. ”

Hearing the eunuch's words, Zhu Di, who was still smiling just now, as if everything was under control, suddenly sank.

After taking the fold and looking at it, he continued to ask: "Where did the King of Han get all this expenditure of silver?" ”

The eunuch hesitated, but still said: "Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness the King of Han embezzled the silver that was distributed to the officials. ”

"What?"

Zhu Di frowned at first, then counted the days, and then said: "This money is about to be distributed, he embezzled the officials' money, how can he explain it to the officials?" ”

The eunuch naturally didn't know what the Han King Zhu Gaoxu was thinking, but he still said truthfully: "The silver embezzled by the Han King this time is only a part of the silver, and the slave listens to it, as if he has embezzled a part of all the officials who are waiting to be issued this year." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Di didn't have much reaction.

In his opinion, the second child should want to beat the autumn wind of the officials, and prepare military salaries for him in the name of cutting his salary.

Then he continued to ask: "Then his order goes down, and the officials of the Sixth Ministry and the cabinet have no objections?" ”

The eunuch shook his head and said, "No, there were some objections at first, but after King Han explained some reasoning with them, they all seemed to agree with King Han's approach. ”

Zhu Di, who heard this, was even more confused.

These officials, when did they speak so well?

Although he cleaned up all the princelings this time, he wouldn't be so active and easy to talk about in reducing all the officials, right?

For a while, Zhu Di immediately realized that something was wrong.

Just as he was about to continue asking, the eunuch on the ground hurriedly took out a fold from the bad one and said: "This is a matter mentioned by His Royal Highness the King of Han when discussing with the officials in the Shangshufang, although the slave and maid did not understand, but secretly ordered someone to copy a copy, thinking that the emperor should want to see it." ”

Hearing the eunuch's words, Zhu Di glanced at him, didn't say anything, took the fold and looked at it.

As he finished reading the contents of the fold, his brows tightened.

"Is this what King Han said himself, or did someone else say?"

In the face of Zhu Di's inquiry, the eunuch hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, it was His Royal Highness the King of Han who said it himself, and there was no one else on the side, these slaves and maids heard it with their own ears." ”

Seeing that it was really the boss who said it himself, Zhu Di not only did not figure it out, but his face became more and more solemn.

"The second child's brain, can he come up with such a method?"

Zhu Di couldn't believe it.

Immediately, he handed the fold in his hand to Yao Guangxiao's hand and motioned him to take a look.

And Yao Guangxiao didn't refuse, after taking the fold and reading it carefully, there was also some change between his eyebrows.

He Yao Guangxiao knows countless people, and his ability to meet is also a must.

If this excerpt was written by the King of Han, it means that there is a serious deviation in the appearance of what he has learned and learned over the years.

In his opinion, with the character and character shown by King Han, he must not come up with such a solution.

Seeing that Yao Guangxiao was also dignified, Zhu Di felt more and more that this matter was not simple.

Could it be that he is really a father, and he has mistaken the second child for so many years?

Or is this second child so hidden?

It wasn't until now that it was forced to be revealed.

Or, is there someone around him for advice?

For a while, Zhu Di couldn't figure it out.

Then he looked at the eunuch who was waiting beside the second child and asked, "Has anyone around the second child appeared recently, or who have you seen?" ”

The eunuch who heard this also showed a puzzled look, but after thinking about it carefully, he still said, "His Royal Highness the King of Han hasn't seen anyone recently. I didn't see anyone around......"

"If you really want to talk about going to see you, that is, I went to the Prince's Mansion today......"

As the eunuch's words came out, Zhu Di and the old monk Yao Guangxiao on the side were keenly aware of something at this moment.

"You said that the second child went to the Prince's Mansion today?"

The eunuch nodded and said, "Exactly, when I went, my face was very ugly, and the little ones didn't dare to follow, but when I came back, I looked at my eyebrows and smiled......

As the eunuch finished saying this, Zhu Di and the old monk Yao Guangxiao, who were still frowning and puzzled just now, both stretched their brows at this moment...

While the old monk Yao Guangxiao smiled again, Zhu Di also smiled and said: "Okay, I know about this matter, don't tell King Han when I go back that I asked this, do you know?" ”

The little eunuch hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The slave knows." ”

After the little eunuch left, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao began to walk towards the front again.

And the old man Zhu Di also asked at this time: "Can the national teacher see who did this?" ”

Hearing this, the old monk Yao Guangxiao immediately smiled and said: "The emperor has already answered in his heart, so why bother to ask again." ”

Zhu Di smiled, but Yao Guangxiao said: "Although the old monk guessed who thought of that method, he really couldn't figure out why this person did it. It's a puzzle. ”

Hearing the old monk's words, Zhu Di also thought of this question for a moment.

That's right.

Although that kid has a good relationship with his second uncle on weekdays, he does it because it is profitable.

What's more, that kid knew his grandfather's thoughts, and he also knew that he was doing this to force his second uncle to give way, but why did he still have ideas for the second uncle?

But when Zhu Di and the old monk couldn't figure out the reason.

A very funny idea, but it was suddenly thought of by Zhu Di.

And, think back to the various behaviors of this kid in the past.....

This kind of thing with brain problems, really only this kid can do.

Yao Guangxiao, an old monk on the side, saw that Zhu Di's face had changed, and changed from doubt to helplessness, and couldn't help asking, "Did the emperor come up with the reason?" ”

Facing the old monk's inquiry, Zhu Di said with a somewhat ugly face: "If it is not as I expected, that kid is afraid that he is lazy."

。

。 ”

As soon as he heard this, the face of the old monk Yao Guangxiao was suddenly full of stunned expressions.

Apparently he hadn't thought of it anyway, and he didn't understand the direct connection between it and finding a solution.

But when he savored the words in the emperor's mouth, he came back to his senses.

Since the eldest grandson knows the truth very well inside and outside this matter, it seems that there is really only one reason for him to do this.

couldn't help but laugh out loud when Yao Guangxiao, who had always been quiet and steady.

Although the old man Zhu Di always felt a little unhappy in his heart, he couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw Yao Guangxiao laughing.

I have experienced a lot of intrigues and tricks on weekdays, and now when I get such a result, doesn't it make these two ancestors who play conspiracy feel ridiculous.

Messing around, guessing and guessing, but in the end I got such a funny reason.

"Then according to the emperor's wishes......." Yao Guangxiao asked.

After thinking about it, Zhu Di said: "The last time that kid wanted to run, he planned to use the pressure of the court to force the old man to obey and agree that the kid went to Beiping. Although I was recognized by the old man, this kid still seems to want to play tricks with his imperial grandfather, so good...... It's so boring to say it, let's just pretend we don't know, I'll see what else this kid has to do. ”

Seeing that the emperor in front of him was playing with him again, Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

However, he was still quite curious and interested in the matter itself.

Although this eldest grandson studied by his side for a period of time when he was a child, he also had a teacher-student relationship with each other.

But recently, he found that his former student seemed to be a little angry with him.

Coupled with the recent wonderful deeds, it also made him, an old monk who has been reading scriptures for many years, move his mind to compete.

After all, some of the things he knew from the mouth of the emperor next to him before, even he, the national teacher, was quite surprised and shocked.

There are many wonderful methods, even if he sees it, he can only be dumbfounded.

If it comes to conspiracy and trickery, he Yao Guangxiao is conceited and will not lose to others.

But this former student's talent in government affairs made him dare not hold his identity.

Now that he has such an opportunity, he really wants to see it.

Seeing that Yao Guangxiao was silent, Zhu Di, who was very familiar with him, couldn't help laughing and said, "What, the national teacher also wants to try?" ”

In the face of Zhu Di's inquiry, Yao Guangxiao also knew that the person who escaped into the empty door should not have such thoughts, so he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, and lowered his head and said: Amitabha.

But Zhu Di only responded to him with a loud laugh.

Between the words of these two, at this time, as the king of Han, and with the responsibility of supervising the country, the king of Han, who was prominent in the world for a while, became a tool for the secret competition between these two parties.

But at this time, King Han didn't know about him at all, he was in the palace.

After convincing the six ministries and cabinet officials, I was proud because of the admiring eyes of these officials.

At the same time, this matter is a business after all, and after moving the silver, he still has to hurry up to complete the remaining things.

Immediately, he summoned an official beside Zhu Zhanji who was in charge of the temporary affairs of the Inner Treasury, and began to transfer a part of the official's annual income into the Inner Treasury in the name of using it as the cost of 'five insurances and one housing fund' according to Zhu Zhanji's idea.

Then from the inner library, in the form of investment, it was delivered to the imperial court for the construction of weapons and equipment for the Northern Expedition.

And the document stated that the direct income of the wealth of the Northern Expedition should be accounted for by the Inner Treasury of 10%, and the land obtained at the same time, the Inner Treasury should get 1% of the land for a hundred years.

At the same time, the only permission to legally trade with the nomads of the north.

In other words, even if the Northern Expedition failed, without any wealth and land gains, Neiku would have obtained the only legal permission from the entire Ming Dynasty to legally trade with the northern nomads.

Then, the entire Ming Dynasty wanted to trade with the north, and those who had to do so had to go through their hands.

Simply talking about this deal, Zhu Zhanji is definitely sure to make a profit.

And the money earned, as well as the proceeds from future transactions with the nomads in the north, will be used for the expenses included in the 'five insurances and one housing fund' of the court officials.

Of course, the five insurances and one housing fund proposed by Zhu Zhanji are still formulated according to the needs of this era, not completely according to the types of insurance in later generations.
