Forbidden City, Wulou.

Zhu Di was holding his hands behind his back, looking at Xiao Suo outside the window, without saying a word.

And at this time, someone crept in.

The person who came had a cold face and wore soft-soled shoes, so that even when he entered the temple, he was silent.

He was dressed in a flying fish suit, entered the hall and made a big salute, and said concisely and forcefully: "Chen Jigang has seen Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Di said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

Ji Gang is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, when he was in trouble, he was Zhu Di's personal guard, and he was quiet and talkative, never talking too much.

Because of this, he won Zhu Di's trust.

And it turns out that Zhu Di's trust is right.

Ji Gang never had private contact with ministers, and he has always been alone.

The most important thing is that as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, there are too many secrets he can hear, and for a person like Ji Gang, he also knows that the more this is the case, the more he must abide by the rules.

What is the obedience of the rules, and what His Majesty has asked him to inquire about, he must inquire no matter what; If His Majesty doesn't let him inquire about it, then he will never touch it.

Ji Gang only has Zhu Di in his eyes, and he can only have Zhu Di.

At this time, Ji Gang's obedient body bowed slightly, he was like a beast lurking with minions, and after a short silence, Ji Gang said: "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei has discovered that a trading house has appeared in the area of the dock of Confucius Temple. ”

Zhu Di still held his hands behind his back, unmoved.

Ji Gang continued: "After the establishment of this firm, it immediately prospered, and within a month, there were more than 700 passenger ships and merchant ships, and the monthly profit was as much as 30,000 taels of silver, and the rapid growth was amazing. ”

Zhu Di looked back, he was only slightly moved at this time, stared at Ji Gang and said, "Thirty thousand taels of pure profit in a month? ”

This is definitely not a small amount, even if this firm does not continue to grow, the annual net profit is 400,000 taels, so what about ten years?

This is real money, not treasure money!

"Such folk things ......" Zhu Di pondered for a moment: "What does it have to do with me?" ”

Ji Gang said: "The minister heard that the person who did this business ...... It's ......"

Zhu Di immediately noticed the abnormality: "Who is it?" ”

Ji Gang said categorically: "Wu'an Hou Zheng Heng!" ”

Zhu Di was stunned.

"This old fellow...... He still does business? Is the news conclusive? ”

"Your Majesty." Ji Gang Zhengse said: "At first, it was just rumors from the wharf, and the minister thought it was just an ordinary market rumor, but it involved river transportation, and the minister didn't dare to slack off, so ...... After checking, someone finally found a deed in Ying Tianfu. ”

Zhu Di looked at him and said, "You go on." ”

"In the deed, Wu Anhou is indeed the person behind this firm."

Zhu Di couldn't help but say sourly: "Good guy, this product is reckless on weekdays, but I didn't expect to have such a skill, so much silver, can he spend it?" ”

Ji Gang could only be silent.

Apparently he could not answer this question.

Zhu Di said: "Come here, summon Wu Anhou to see." ”

Ji Gang also quietly withdrew with interest.

Zhu Di paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and he couldn't help muttering: "It's 400,000 taels a year, or real money, isn't this about to be more powerful than printing treasure money?" In the past, this guy looked like a muddy person, but I didn't expect it to be so inconspicuous, he was really shrewd, and he lost it, what do you say? “

Yisha stood aside and hesitated, "This...... The slave didn't know. ”

Zhu Di said, "I'll try him." ”

In fact, Wu'an Hou Zheng Heng has been very annoyed recently, he is on duty in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and he has always felt that many people look at him differently in recent days.

But it's a bit indescribable.

He is straight, and when he asks someone in person, they only smile and don't speak.

Or a few words that are yin and yang, like riddles.

As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Heng became angry, damn it, if Lao Tzu knows how to guess riddles, he will return his mother's army.

As soon as he heard Zhu Di's call, Zheng Heng immediately flew to the noon gate, and then met him.

He thought that there was a military situation, and His Majesty came to him to discuss.

But as soon as he entered the martial tower, he was a little confused, as if His Majesty had only summoned him, and what about the governors of the other armies?

Zheng Heng saluted.

Zhu Di looked at him with a smile and said, "Zheng Heng, how many days have I not seen you, when you were martyred with me, we were even slept together, and now...... It's divided, it's divided! ”

When Zheng Heng heard this, he became vigilant, he was not stupid, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, is there any fault on the part of the minister?" A few days ago, the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Military Governor did slack off......"

Zhu Di pressed his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this, I am now the Son of Heaven, as the emperor, it is the subjects and people of the world who have to take care of it, not to mention anything else, now I am working hard every day, why?" It's the people of Songjiang and Suzhou who were affected by the disaster, those people...... Hungry and poorly clothed, the news brought back by the envoy I sent was even more shocking, saying that it was starving all over the land, thousands of miles of red land, Songjiang Mansion and Suzhou Mansion have always been anointed places, and there are countless people. ”

Zhu Di said and sighed again and again.

Zheng Heng was a little confused, and said in his heart...... I am a military minister, what does this disaster in Songjiang and Suzhou have to do with me?

I saw Zhu Di clear his throat and said: "Now the country wants silver everywhere, the treasury is empty, Zheng Qing's family, I am so worried that my hair is gray, I was in Beiping at the beginning, it was a person like Zheng Qing's family...... Working together with me, now that the country has reached such a point, is Zheng Qing's family still willing to do their best with me? ”

The more Zheng Heng listened, the more frightened he felt......

Why does this sound a bit diaphragmatic?

Still, he obediently said, "Naturally, naturally." ”

Zhu Di smiled: "Great, in that case, can you ask Zheng Qing's family to donate some silver money to help the monks and lay people in Songjiang and Suzhou?" ”

"Ah...... This ......," Jung Hyung hesitated.

Seeing Zheng Heng's hesitant look, Zhu Di raised his eyebrows: "What, isn't Zheng Qing's family refusing?" ”

Zheng Heng hurriedly said: "Ken, Ken's ...... Minister...... Willing to donate 300...... No, five hundred taels. ”

Jung Hyung's flesh hurts.

But when Zhu Di heard this, he was furious, and suddenly scolded: "Enter your mother, I pulled down my cheeks and begged you to donate, and you will take five hundred taels of silver to send me away, are you called Huazi?" ”

Zheng Heng's eyes darkened, and he was about to faint: "Your Majesty, minister...... Poor ......"

Zhu Di's face darkened: "Zheng Heng, you old horseman, do you think I am blind and deaf, don't you know that your Zheng Heng family has a lot of money?" Damn, are you still a human being? The victims are hungry and are going to starve to death, you have so much money, you do a good business, and you are still crying poor with me? ”

Zheng Heng was suddenly shocked, and said in his heart Where did I make a good deal, so he hurriedly swore an oath: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, the minister is wronged, the minister is more wronged than Dou E, the minister is really poor...... Your Majesty, you have to believe in your ministers, your ministers...... What kind of person is it, Your Majesty, don't you know yet? Your Majesty......"

He howled like a pig, and the sound shook the rubble.

Zhu Di was even angrier: "You have changed!" ”

Zheng Heng could only hear the cold in his heart.

Zhu Di scolded bitterly: "You guy, you have got into the eyes of money, I am an old brother, you are an ignorant child, good, good!" ”

Zheng Heng couldn't help but scold in his heart, what kind of dog thing is this saying bad things about me, there are traitors around the emperor.

So he continued: "Your Majesty...... The minister is really poor...... Otherwise, the minister smashed the pot and sold iron, and donated 3,000 taels...... The minister just ordered the silver, the minister...... Sold the ancestral house ......"

Zhu Di was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but this guy pretended to be poor to this extent, and he really had no way to take him.

So he waved his hand: "Okay, don't talk about it, damn it, there are only such birdmen around me now!" ”

Zheng Heng was sent out, and his mind was still blank until now, thinking about it carefully, he felt more and more that something was wrong, and wanted to go back to find Zhu Di and explain it well, but he thought that Zhu Di was angry, but he was afraid that he would continue to anger Shengyan.

He left the martial arts building, and he didn't go far, and he heard Zhu Di's roar from the martial tower: "This old man doesn't even want his face for the sake of silver!" ”
