In Zhu Zhanji's thoughts, this can be regarded as a kind of subsidy for the lives of the officials and gentry after the imperial court implemented the policy orders that harmed the interests of officials, such as paying grain in one piece, apportioning the land into the mu, and returning the fire to the public.

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for these officials to not have enough to eat and work hard for the imperial court.

This will only encourage corruption.

And when Zhu Gaoxu completed all these procedures, he also breathed a long sigh of relief.

The vague promise of the imperial court in the future was not only exchanged for solving the military problem this time, but also in exchange for the admiration of the officials.

"Five insurances and one housing fund......"

Zhu Gaoxu lay on the dragon chair, smiling and chattering.

Think about your big nephew, this kid has a really good head.

You can come up with any idea.

Just these two sentences cut the officials' salaries at the same time, they have to thank themselves.....

The key is that the old man also showed his face, and he didn't believe that the same thing could be done by his eldest brother.

After all, this is the matter of the white wolf with empty gloves.

It's a real deal today.

But he also understands that this time the matter is still relying on his eldest nephew.

It's also fortunate that the last time I made a deal with this big nephew established trust, otherwise it's really hard to say this time.

But it's all gone.....

On the other side, the old man who had already made up his mind to fight with his eldest grandson Zhu Zhanji naturally understood the truth of knowing himself and knowing that he would win all battles. Therefore, early in the morning, he began to investigate the connection between Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaoxu.

Although the last time I asked Dongchang to investigate the discussion between the two was unsuccessful, it was after all a few days in the past.

It is also natural that the investigation will not be investigated.

But now it's different, since Zhu Zhanji's kid wants his second uncle to stay in the position of prison for two more days, then they are naturally aiming to get his second uncle down.

Therefore, an investigation was also initiated into what the Han King did during his imprisonment.

The first thing that bears the brunt of this is naturally the problem of the accounts.

This time, he was asked to sit in the position of the superintendent, but he did a lot of things, and this messy expenditure was all in the absence of a tael of silver in the household department.

So, where did all this money come from?

Is there a problem with this?

I have to say that when the old man Zhu Di and the old monk Yao Guangxiao stood together, this method was still very powerful.

Simple, fast, and straight to the point.

Really.

When the people of Dongchang secretly brought an official of the household department and a cabinet co-organizer to the Jiming Temple, under the old man's interrogation, all the problems were exposed.

The drought in Henan and Jiangxi has not been dealt with so far, and the imperial court has not allocated a tael of silver.

Fujian's woes have not been resolved.

.......

His Royal Highness the King of Han gave a reply in one sentence: wait for the household department to raise two silver ......

The point is that the Yongle Grand Ceremony has also stopped.

When he heard that the Yongle Ceremony he had made was stopped by the second child, the old man Zhu Di suddenly couldn't help but pick up a knife to cut the stinky hill.

Fortunately, I was distracted by another sentence from the household official.

"Tobe.... Household ..... His Royal Highness the King of Han embezzled 470,000 taels of silver from the household department......"

The moment he heard this, Zhu Di suddenly became angry.

Forget about the court's indiscriminate disposal, and forget about the Yongle ceremony when it stops.....

The key is that bastard, and he even embezzled 470,000 taels of silver and white from the household!

He has repeatedly explained the money in the household, but he can't move it, and he can't move it.

Because the use of these silver is planned in advance, when the time comes, there is no silver, and the entire court will be chaotic.

It's still a full 470,000 taels of silver!

These are all the money that the imperial court must spend every year to maintain the stability of the imperial court!

For a while, the old man didn't know if he didn't look at it, but when he saw it, he suddenly walked back and forth in this room angrily.

In the past, I always felt that all political affairs were very simple, just leave it to my boss.

Even if the boss doesn't agree, he can do it by some means.

But now that the second child has been promoted to the position of prisoner, how many days have he been in trouble, and he has caused so many troubles!

At the beginning, even when the eldest grandson was in charge of the country, he stared at his grandfather every day.

Now promote the boss, thinking that he will not have problems in the short term, at least.

I couldn't have imagined that it had only been half a month.

There are so many things that come out.

Just when Zhu Di was angry and ready to solve this matter in person, the national teacher on the side, the old monk Yao Guangxiao, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you go now, what else can you do except scold." In that case, why not take the opportunity to let the eldest grandson try it? ”

Hearing the words of the old monk Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Di's originally angry mood also calmed down in an instant.

That's right, go now, it's over.

But in the end, the mess left behind still had to be solved by him Zhu Di himself.

What's the picture?

In this case, it is better to let your little cub Zhu Zhanji solve it.

Didn't he want his second uncle to give him lightning resistance in the position of the prison country?

Okay, it's up to him to see if he can make his second uncle sit firm!

Thinking of this, Zhu Di pointed to the little eunuch of Dongchang who was kneeling on the ground and said: "Go back and tell the King of Han that the drought in Henan is ......."

At this point, the old man Zhu Di suddenly stopped.

After thinking about it carefully, I felt that I couldn't say this at this time.

Once you talk about the drought, the fact that you know about it will be exposed.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di turned his head to look at the official of the household department again, and said, "When is the amount of these silver taels in the household department?" ”

The official of the household department hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the emperor, it will be half a year later." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di thought about it carefully and said: "In this way, go back and think of a reason, just say that the silver will be spent in advance, go and ask the king of Han and ask him what to do with the silver." ”

Although Zhu Di was quite calm at this time, his tone when he spoke was a little uncontrollable, and when he said this, his tone was also full of anger.

Listening to the emperor's words, looking at the emperor's appearance that he would get angry at any time, the official of the household department hurriedly agreed, and he didn't dare to say a word of nonsense.

"Heaven Descends"

Then, Zhu Di looked at the cabinet co-organizer scholar on the side, and said: "Go back and explain the drought situation in Henan and Jiangxi, the local government will make every effort to provide disaster relief and emergency, and the local government will first temporarily collect a batch of food and disaster relief materials, write down an IOU, and wait for the imperial court to allocate funds." ”

"This matter must not be known to the King of Han, nor to other officials."

Such arrangements have existed in previous dynasties, and the yamen in various places have temporarily organized them in various places, whether it is an IOU or a other, in short, it will be emergency first, and the court will settle the account after it is used up.

The co-organizer of the cabinet naturally couldn't say anything, and under Zhu Di's fierce gaze, the two turned around and left.

After arranging all these things, Zhu Di still couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and walked around this wing room with his hands behind his back.

Looking at Zhu Di's appearance in front of him, Yao Guangxiao on the side couldn't help but smile and said, "Why should the emperor be angry about this?" The emperor should understand that the king of Han is not a talent for governing the world. ”

Listening to Yao Guangxiao's words, Zhu Di said: "I naturally know the temperament and methods of the second child, but I never imagined that he would dare to be so bold." Even if he can't do some things, such as the drought in Henan and Jiangxi, I know this, and I never thought he could do it well. ”

"Even if he has no money, he comes to me and cries twice, and I don't think it's anything. But this bastard dared to stop the silver of the Yongle Ceremony for me, and embezzled the entire 470,000 taels of silver from the household. If my old man finds out a little later, the entire Ming Dynasty will let him give Huo Huo. ”

But in the face of Zhu Di's anger, Yao Guangxiao on the side still said with a smile on his face: "Wasn't King Han forced by the emperor to do this?" The continuous expansion of armaments, and the household has no money. Where did you let King Han get this money from? ”

"I am not surprised that King Han can do something to stop the Yongle Grand Ceremony, and I am also expected. But the embezzlement of 470,000 taels of silver, I never thought of it. Think about it, even if you are persecuted by the emperor, then the king of Han will not embezzle so much silver, right? Moreover, he knew that he would make up for the money. ”

"The hole in front of you is a hole, and the hole in the future will not be a hole? The small hole in front of me is easy to repair, but the big hole in the future will not be easy to fill, I think this truth is still clear to me. ”

Listening to Yao Guangxiao's words, Zhu Di on the side gradually calmed down from the angry emotions just now, thought about it carefully, and felt that his kid should not have the courage to really embezzle the entire 470,000 taels of silver.

After all, that's a full 470,000 taels of silver!

Even if his Han Wangfu was really raided, he couldn't get a full 470,000 taels of silver.

When he was asked to expand the Shenji Camp to get silver, he took the silver from his own family and did not dare to embezzle the 470,000 taels of silver from this household.

So what did he do when he embezzled the 470,000 taels of silver this time?

Explaining what he asked him to do shouldn't have pushed him to such a point, right?

Although the list of armaments he listed for him was staggering, unlike firearms, they were not expensive to build, so the total price was not much.

It is impossible to really force him, the prince of Han, to this point.

Moreover.....

Zhu Di suddenly thought, isn't there that kid behind his second child?

The list of armaments listed for him before, in order to accomplish this errand, didn't his eldest grandson give his second uncle the idea to reduce the salaries of court officials?

If they could think of a way, why did they have to embezzle the 470,000 taels of the household department?

Thinking about these questions, although Zhu Di couldn't find an answer for a while, he didn't care too much.

No matter what they did, in short, their orders have been passed out, and it depends on whether that kid can fill the hole of 470,000 taels.

This is the first trick given by him Zhu Di and the old monk Yao Guangxiao.

Accompanied by the two officials who were taken to the Jiming Temple, after returning to the court.

Soon, he thought of a reason, and handed over the fold that needed to be used was the 470,000 taels of silver.

Originally, Zhu Gaoxu in the study room was still happy, but when he saw the fold handed over by the official of the household, the whole person's face changed instantly, and his heartbeat accelerated.

That's a full 470,000 taels of silver, and now it's only been less than a month, and he, Zhu Gaoxu, hasn't even seen the first installment of the silver, and the court is going to use this silver.

What should I do with such a big hole?

Even if he really raided his Han Palace, he couldn't find the 470,000 taels of silver. After all, before this, he Han Wangfu had already spent an unknown amount of silver.

There aren't many of them that can be taken out now.

But despite the panic in my heart.

Zhu Gaoxu is a person who has experienced life and death, but he is still stable on the surface.

After temporarily sending back the household officials in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly sent someone to the prince's mansion to find his eldest nephew.

This matter would never have been possible with his own strength.

Even if he asked the third child for help, he would definitely not be able to make up the full 470,000 taels of silver.

Although the third child accepts a lot of bribes on weekdays, he is only in charge of the Jinyi Guard and the Imperial Forest Army after all.

How can his second child usually eat empty wages quickly.

In addition, he received a lot of money from foreign officials, and he was the richest among the princes of the entire Ming Dynasty.

He can't do it, let alone the third child.

And the little eunuch who accompanied the emperor rushed to the prince's mansion.

After inquiring left and right, he found that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson was not there.

In desperation, he had to order someone to go to the palace to resume his life, and while squatting in the prince's mansion and waiting.

The luck of this little eunuch was really good, and in less than half an hour, he really let him squat to Zhu Zhanji, who had just returned to the prince's mansion from outside.

As the little eunuch rushed to Zhu Zhanji and said what the King of Han had confessed, Zhu Zhanji, who was happily chatting and laughing with Hu Shanxiang, suddenly frowned.

Then after signaling Hu Shanxiang's little girl to go back by herself, he went towards the palace with the little eunuch in the palace.

Although the little eunuch was in front of Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang, he didn't make things too clear. He didn't even know what was going on with it.

But Zhu Zhanji still felt the urgency of the matter from the two sentences that came out of his mouth.

With Zhu Zhanji, he hurried to the back of the study.

Zhu Gaoxu, who had been waiting anxiously in this study for half an hour, hurriedly trotted to Zhu Zhanji's side, hugged him, and walked to the inner hall.

After sending the little eunuch around him away.

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly whispered to Zhu Zhanji beside him: "Eldest nephew..... Something is wrong! ”

Looking at the panicked look on his second uncle's face, Zhu Zhanji frowned, and after signaling him to be calm and not impatient, he asked, "Second uncle, don't worry, you can tell me what is going on first." What are you panicking about? ”

Zhu Gaoxu obviously knew very well that he couldn't change anything at this time, so he calmed down and said: "It's the 470,000 taels of silver we used before, and now that there is an accident in the imperial court, we have to use this silver in advance!" But this silver has already been misappropriated by us, where to find this silver? If it weren't for your second uncle and I pressing here, I'm afraid that the matter of our uncle and nephew would have been exposed. ”

"If this matter reaches the ears of the old man, none of our uncles and nephews will want to hang their heads on it."

While speaking, Zhu Gaoxu also pointed to his own and Zhu Zhanji's necks.

Obviously, Zhu Gaoxu was afraid that his eldest nephew would throw him down as a second uncle halfway, and he was also afraid that this eldest nephew would not take it seriously, so while explaining the stakes of this matter, he was also implying that the two of them were now grasshoppers tied to a rope.

He can't keep Zhu Gaoxu's head, and your eldest nephew's head can't be kept safe.

Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Zhanji suddenly smiled and said, "Second uncle, it's not like that..... It's like the old man is going to cut off your head right now. ”

Seeing Zhu Zhanji like this, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said: "Eldest nephew, it's really not that the second uncle is timid, you don't know the old man's temper, don't you know the old man's temper, if you can't cut it, you can cut it, and then it's too late to find a way." Hurry up and think of a way......"

Although his second uncle's words were threatening, Zhu Zhanji was not angry, not that he could really be a saint to this step, but that he knew very well that a family was a family after all.

When he deliberately exposed his flaws and let Ji Gang frame himself above the court, the old man said that he was going to cut off his Zhu Zhanji's head, but his second uncle ran out to intercede without saying a word.

When he was framed, the second uncle was motionless, and even happily watched the jokes.

I can't wait to get this crime confirmed.

But when it came time to cut off his head, his second uncle rushed forward faster than anyone else.

is not only pleading, but when Ji Gang wanted to kill him in the court, his second uncle was also the first to rush over.

Zhu Zhanji kept these in his heart, although he didn't say it.

In other words, the second uncle will never give up the throne because of personal feelings.

But when it really came to death, the family was still a family.

Although there is no shortage of slaughters of their own family members for the throne in all dynasties.

But isn't that time yet, at least?

No one forces you to choose between the throne and your eldest nephew's life.

So he didn't pay attention to the threatening words he said to his second uncle at all. I'm still thinking carefully about how to solve this matter next.

However, before thinking of a way, Zhu Zhanji was still a little puzzled, and couldn't help but look at his second uncle and asked: "Second uncle, the money of the household department was arranged in advance, and the articles of association were set, why did you suddenly say that you wanted it?" ”

Regarding the matter itself, Zhu Zhanji is still very puzzled.

Because it was so coincidental.

Not sooner, not late.

I just took out this silver and used it, and now the household department happens to use it?

But his second uncle said: "What do you mean, eldest nephew, the second uncle understands, but the second uncle asked carefully, this matter is really not a ghost behind the old man's back, it is indeed a change on the part of the household, so it is temporarily advanced." Do you think that if this matter is really known by the old man, will the two of us stand in this hall now to discuss? ”

"With the old man's temper, he would have already slashed the heads of both of us with a knife."

Looking at his second uncle's demeanor and exaggerated tone, he couldn't tell that the person he was talking about was his own father.

But since this matter is not what I guessed, there is no need to hesitate.

After thinking about it, he said to his second uncle: "Second uncle, how much silver can you urgently scrape together there?" ”

After thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu said, "You can get up to 90,000 taels of silver." ”

"Can't do it any more?"

When Zhu Gaoxu, who heard this, was about to say something, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, since you can't make up more, forget it." ”

"What about the third uncle? Second uncle, haven't you and your third uncle always communicated with each other? Now that something has happened, the third uncle doesn't help the lining? ”

The second uncle Zhu Gaoxu didn't think so much about this, and said directly: "I can ask the third child, but you don't have too much hope, even if he can come out, it will be thirty or forty thousand taels of silver at most." ”

Zhu Zhanji didn't say anything, just nodded and did some mental calculations.

Ninety thousand taels plus thirty thousand taels, that is, twelve thousand taels of silver.

The rest was three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver.

After coming up with the final deficit amount, Zhu Zhanji said to his second uncle Zhu Gaoxu: "Okay, nephew won't talk nonsense, second uncle, you go to the third uncle for help, you two will come out with 120,000 taels of silver, and the nephew will find a way to do the rest." But let's talk about this ugly thing in front of us, the 470,000 taels of silver nephew of the imperial court has only taken less than a month, and the profit we said before is gone. ”

Facing Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Gaoxu did not hesitate at all, and said: "I don't know if this head can be kept, what else do you want to make money, eldest nephew, you hurry up and prepare the silver, the household department just came to the fold to approve the silver, I casually found an excuse to prevaricate in the past, but this matter can't be delayed for too long, the second uncle's side can last until tomorrow night at most, and if it's too late, the officials of the household department will have to go to the old man." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji didn't talk nonsense anymore, and said: "Okay, my nephew knows, second uncle, you just need to take care of your own affairs." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Although there are instructions in and out of the words, he still trusts his eldest nephew very much.

As long as the other party agreed, basically everything was done.

After leaving the study, Zhu Zhanji rode his horse and headed straight for the outskirts of Beijing.

This matter is his own brother, Zhu Zhanyong is in charge, and now he can only discuss it with him if something happens.

And after Zhu Zhanji left the palace, the second uncle Zhu Gaoxu also rushed to the Zhao Palace.

At the same time, the actions of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, also passed towards the Jiming Temple outside the palace in a short period of time.

When Zhu Di, the old man in the wing room of the Jiming Temple, heard the report of the Dongchang spies, he immediately smiled and said to the old monk Yao Guangxiao beside him: "The fish has been hooked." ”

Hearing Zhu Di's analogy, Yao Guangxiao, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and reciting the scriptures, couldn't help but smile.

"It seems that our previous guess was not wrong, this Han King embezzled the 470,000 taels of silver from the imperial treasury, and it really has a relationship with the eldest grandson."

After hearing Yao Guangxiao's words, the old man Zhu Di couldn't help but scold: "These two bastards, their hearts and eyes are used on their own bodies, and even the silver in the treasury has made up their minds. ”

...............

Beijing.

As Zhu Zhanji came back again, he immediately sent someone to find Zhu Zhanyong's kid in the mining area.

When he saw Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanyong couldn't help but wonder: "Big brother, aren't you leaving?" How did you come back again? ”

Zhu Zhanji didn't talk nonsense, he directly called him aside and asked, "How much silver do you have in hand now?" ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's inquiry, Zhu Zhanyong was a little puzzled, but he still explained honestly: "The previous 470,000 taels have now cost less than 100,000 taels, but among these silvers, there are 150,000 taels of silver, which will be spent next month." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji frowned: "Is there only 220,000 taels of silver that can be used?" ”

Zhu Zhanyong also said helplessly: "No way, if you don't use this silver, it will be a loss if you keep it in your hands, isn't this what you said, big brother?" ”

Zhu Zhanji naturally knew that there was nothing wrong with the words themselves.

Originally, it was borrowed, but after that, it had to be repaid more than 90,000 taels.

Hurry up and plunge, it's definitely the best choice.

It's just that who could have predicted this in between.

After pondering carefully, Zhu Zhanji continued to ask: "What about the recent rental of those cultivated lands?" ”

Zhu Zhanyong replied: "The rental situation is not bad, many people are afraid that they will not be able to rent after that, so they are scrambling to pay the rent, counting the current lease agreed in advance and have paid the rent, a total of 140,000 taels of silver." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really tnd that a good person has a good reward.

Although they did have the idea of getting some silver as soon as possible when they came up with this leased land, they only had more than 90,000 taels of repayment pressure in front of them at that time.

Therefore, it is completely possible to take out a small amount of land for rent.

More money and energy will be invested in the reclamation of wasteland and the direct hiring of people to cultivate it.

However, it is precisely because of the living problems of many landless people around the capital and even in Yingtianfu that half of the land is planned for rent.

In other words, the cultivated land that has been reclaimed in the past month or so has basically been used for leased land.

It is precisely because of this that there can be an income of these 140,000 taels of silver.

Otherwise, this level in front of you may not be able to pass.

Immediately, Zhu Zhanji said: "Prepare the silver, I want to use it, a total of 350,000 taels." ”

"From now on, let's temporarily reduce the cost of some land reclamation, but those who have already paid the rent must complete the reclamation delivery as soon as possible. This part can't be slow. ”

Hearing his eldest brother's words, Zhu Zhanyong didn't ask the specific reason, just nodded and said, "I'll send someone back to the house in a while." ”

Zhu Zhanji was about to agree, so he said again: "No need, order someone to send it directly to the Han Wangfu." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanyong couldn't help but be stunned: "Send it to the second uncle?" What's the matter, the second uncle didn't do this deal? ”

Zhu Zhanji replied: "This money is the silver of the embezzled treasury, and now the household department wants to urgently use this silver, so we have to send it back quickly to fill this hole, otherwise your eldest brother and my second uncle's heads will not be protected." ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Zhanyong's eyes suddenly kicked up, and he even shouted in surprise: "The silver of the treasury!" ”

Seeing that this kid was getting excited again, Zhu Zhanji kicked him on the ass and said, "What are you kid yelling at?" I'm afraid others won't know, right? ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's reprimand, Zhu Zhanyong came back to his senses, but he didn't care about his eldest brother's kick at all, but asked again: "Big brother, are you and your second uncle crazy?" dared to embezzle the silver of the treasury, if grandpa knew about this, it would be terrible. ”

Regarding Zhu Zhanyong's nonsense, Zhu Zhanji didn't want to deal with it at all, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and prepare silver." ”

Zhu Zhanyong, who knew the seriousness of this matter, didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly turned around and went to prepare the silver.

That same evening.

The entire 350,000 taels of silver were transported to the Han Wangfu in the capital overnight under the protection of dozens of guards.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, who was going back and forth in his own house, had already negotiated the 30,000 taels of silver to be raised when he went to find the third child before, and the silver in his own house was also ready-made, but now facing the hole of 470,000 taels of silver, only 350,000 taels of his eldest nephew remained.

But that's 350,000 taels after all.....

Recently, how could he Zhu Gaoxu not know about the recent land reclamation in the suburbs of Beijing?

Even if you roughly calculate, the tens of thousands of laborers need to spend a lot of wages every month.

Coupled with the fact that they were well fed, the amount of silver consumed was even greater.

Even if you don't consider the amount of use in the future.

It's hard to say how much of the 470,000 taels of silver is left.

If this hole is not filled, something will happen.

This matter is not only related to whether he can continue to do his position as a prisoner, but also whether his head can stay on his neck in peace.

How could he, Zhu Gaoxu, calm down.

When the princess Han on the side couldn't stand it, she complained a little about why the king of Han kept dangling in front of him, and the second uncle was about to reprimand.

A subordinate suddenly ran in from outside the hall, came to Zhu Gaoxu, and said, "Lord Wang, there are several carriages from outside the palace, saying that they have come to deliver things on the orders of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson. ”

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said to the people in front of him: "Hurry up, call everyone in." ”

"Yes!"

Soon after the man left.

The carriages stopped one by one in the courtyard of the Han Palace.

Immediately, Zhu Gaoxu ordered someone to carry all the boxes on the carriage to the house.

The man who led the group asked, "How much silver is there?" ”

This person hurriedly replied: "Back to the prince's words, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson said, 350,000 taels of silver, a lot. ”

After hearing this person's words, Zhu Gaoxu's hanging heart finally fell.

even smiled and patted the shoulder of the person who led the team, and said, "Go back and tell my eldest nephew that the second uncle owes him a favor this time." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was also very grateful to his eldest nephew for being able to send the silver back on time and on time.

Although he said that the old man would cut off the heads of the two of them, he knew that the old man had really discovered this matter, and it was impossible for him to really cut off his heads.

However, compared to his eldest nephew, his fate Zhu Gaoxu was miserable.

Even if the eldest nephew stubbornly refuses to return the silver, he Zhu Gaoxu will not be able to do anything.

But fortunately, this kid didn't let himself down.

Although he worked in vain this time, he Zhu Gaoxu did not have the slightest regrets.

With the resolution of this important matter, the mood of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, also improved a lot in an instant.

After returning to the hall, he immediately said to the Han princess inside: "Go, ask someone to prepare a meal, and then make a whole pot of wine!" ”

Seeing King Han, who was still anxious and sad just now, he became happy after a while, and Princess Han also rolled her eyes, but she still did what King Han said.

After all, there are definitely not many women in the entire Ming Dynasty who can be like Zhu Zhanji and his wife.

Especially for the King of Han, women must not make mistakes in front of men.

Just said the wrong sentence just now, if it wasn't disturbed by the subordinates, this slap would be indispensable.

Early the next morning, Zhu Gaoxu took all the silver taels back to the treasury, and then came to the study room in a hurry, and the first thing he did was to call the officials of the household department.

Then they generously read the folds they had reported, and let them go to the treasury to get the money themselves.

After successfully obtaining these silver taels, the officials of the household department also hurriedly spread the news to the Jiming Temple through the East Factory.

Maybe it's because of his age, whether it's Zhu Di or the old monk Yao Guangxiao, they wake up very early in the morning.

Although I didn't have anything to do, I still came to the courtyard of Jiming Temple early in the morning for a walk.

And after the news of Dongchang was conveyed to Jiming Temple, listening to the words of the little eunuch of Dongchang, Zhu Di couldn't help but glance at the old monk Yao Guangxiao beside him in surprise.

said: "Old monk, this kid has some ability, 470,000 taels, said to come back, and returned it?" ”

Although it is also possible that the 470,000 taels have not been spent yet.

But who are Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao, they all know very well that since they have reached the point of embezzling 470,000 taels of silver from the treasury without permission, you said you just pulled out for a walk?

Isn't that a joke?

But after the flowers went out, they were returned overnight.

One can imagine how much information is revealed behind this.

Just when the two were wondering.

The little eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the national teacher.... The slave heard the news, but she didn't know if it was useful. ”

Zhu Di frowned: "Say." ”

The little eunuch nodded, and hurriedly said: "The slave maid heard some news from outside the palace, saying that in the suburbs of Beijing, a large number of ordinary laborers are being recruited, saying that they want to reclaim wasteland, and they will bring five dollars of silver a month to eat. ”

"A lot of people flocked to it when they heard the news."

At this point, the little eunuch stopped.

After all, there is not much news outside the palace that he can hear when he is in the palace.

However, just from the words of the little eunuch, Zhu Di realized that it should have something to do with the wasteland on the outskirts of Beijing, and immediately sent people to the suburbs of Beijing to make noise.

After about half an hour, the men sent out returned to the Jiming Temple.

Immediately, in front of Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao, he told what he had seen and heard.

And after this brocade guard told everything that happened in front of the suburbs of Beijing, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao also had a general understanding of what Zhu Zhanji did in the suburbs of Beijing.

For a while, the old monk Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Majesty, we seem to have lost a merit.....

For the old monk's words, Zhu Di also knew it.

A strong laborer of five dollars a month should be fed.....

I can't find such a good thing in this world.

In addition, the land reclaimed in the suburbs of Beijing is basically leased to ordinary people who have no land, which is equivalent to giving them a long-term and stable livelihood.

I don't know how many people have solved the problem of eating.

And how much more family income has been added.

And Zhu Di, as the emperor, saw more nature than the old monk Yao Guangxiao.

If it is done through Zhu Zhanji's kid's method, it will not only bring a lot of benefits to these ordinary people.

The same is true for the imperial court.

The problem of collecting taxes is directly solved by this way of leasing.

Every year, you only need to pass through the inner treasury and pay the corresponding taxes to the imperial court.

I don't know how much time and effort is saved.

At the same time, it also ensures the stability of tax revenue.

Therefore, whether it is Zhu Di or Yao Guangxiao, it can be seen that what Zhu Zhanji did this time is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people.

Although they relied on the shady means of embezzling silver from the treasury.

But a good thing is a good thing, and they can't argue with it.

But what else can be done now?

Send the money back obediently?

In desperation, Zhu Di could only say: "Since this kid has such an idea, just say it to the old man, why do you have to use such means." Let's leave that alone, let's talk about what to do next. ”

Yao Guangxiao, who heard this, immediately smiled and said: "The emperor is going to go on an expedition, does this matter still need to be said by the poor monks?" ”

Zhu Di was also a little confused because of what happened just now, and now after hearing the words of the old monk, he immediately laughed.

He pointed to the old monk, and then instructed the people around him: "The next decree is to order the King of Han to raise a total of two million taels of military salaries for this expedition, and order him to formulate countermeasures within three days." ”

"Yes!"

The eunuch who followed the herald headed towards the palace.

When the holy decree requesting military salaries was placed in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu's face suddenly turned red.....

The hole of 470,000 taels of silver has just been solved.

Now that the old man has made a will, he directly asks for a military salary of two million taels, isn't this a pit person?

Zhu Gaoxu, who pondered for a long time by himself and couldn't think of any good countermeasures, could only send someone to the prince's mansion again.

And when the news of the King of Han reached the ears of Zhu Zhanji in the prince's mansion.

Zhu Zhanji was speechless.

I just want to be lazy, why are you so tormented by people?

When even said to the eunuch who came to pass the word: "Go back and tell the second uncle, just let him solve it himself!" ”

I originally wanted to be lazy, but now I'm getting busier and busier, isn't this.....

You father and son go and toss it yourself, I won't get involved!
