It's still the same cliff, it's still two people, but the person has changed.

On the cliff, Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, enjoying the beautiful sunset in the distance.

"How?"

The old monk standing beside Zhu Di recalled the conversation with Zhu Zhangui, and his eyes were full of appreciation.

In the afternoon, he chatted a lot with Zhu Zhangui.

The form of the country, the attitude towards the outside world, the future development trend of the Ming Dynasty, and the recovery of people's livelihood and people's strength.

Zhu Zhangui almost gave satisfactory answers to the questions he raised, and even some of his thoughts were sighed when he heard them.

"I learned a lot from having a conversation this afternoon, a very thoughtful person, a very decisive person, and a crazy person."

Zhu Di bowed slightly.

He listened to the conversation between the two in the woods in the distance.

This is also the first time he has heard Zhu Zhangui's inner thoughts.

"Your second grandson, I feel very much like a person."

Zhu Di turned around.

"Who?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and said a person's name.

"Emperor Yang Guang of Sui!"

Hearing this name, Zhu Di pointed at the old monk with a dark face, wanting to scold his mother, but he felt that what the other party said was right, so he flicked his sleeves angrily and turned around and left.

looked at Zhu Di, who turned away in a huff, "You have to think about it carefully, choosing him is a big gamble." Gambling to win the Ming Dynasty and Yongchang to win the war, and gambling to lose the Sui Dynasty is a lesson from the past. ”

Zhu Di, who was walking back in a huff, stopped abruptly and turned his head to stare at the old monk.

"I don't like to gamble!"

The old monk smiled.

"But you've gambled all your life."

Zhu Di was silent.

After a long time, he said: "This northern expedition, I will bring both of them with me, who to choose, I think I will have the answer after this northern expedition." ”

After speaking, he stopped talking to the old monk and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of his old friend, the old monk Yao Guangxiao sighed.

"Old friend, old friend, do you know that the moment you hesitate, you have already begun to choose to gamble."

The other side.

Zhu Zhangui, who walked out of Jiming Temple, glanced back at the direction of the cliff.

He has said everything that should be said, and whether he can earn that position next depends on his next performance and the old man's final choice.

"Your Highness, where are we going?"

The Huangsun Mansion has been occupied by the King of Han, and he can't go back for a while.

Zhu Zhangui didn't plan to stay in Jiming Temple, so the guards wanted to ask Zhu Zhangui whether he was going to the East Palace or to the camp in the south of the city that had not been demolished.

"Let's go back to the East Palace!"

I sent a lot of people to the East Palace, but if I didn't go over to take a look, the old lady was probably going to lose her temper again.

East Palace.

"Come on, come on, you have the ability to come out and say."

Zhu Chupang walked out of the door impatiently, pointed to the unhappy Zhang, and asked him to come out and say, don't scold him in the house.

"What if you come out?"

Zhang, who was supported by Hu Shanxiang, walked out angrily, not caring about the maids around him who were learning etiquette, and the guards who were serving, and looked at Zhu Chupang with a sneer.

"Come out and say what's wrong, there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey has become a king! I'm going to get the money. ”

Zhu Fatpang glanced around, and pretended to reach out to stop him.

"Don't shout, it's not decent."

It's good that he doesn't stop it, but the more he blocks Zhang, the more angry he gets.

"Now I know that it's not decent, when the old man robbed your son of money, how did he disregard decency. When the dick kicked your son out of the door, why didn't he care about decency? ”

"Where did all the money my son pay go? Why do you need money? Those who want food also know how to find a few more customers, they are addicted to eating. ”

Zhu Fatpang explained helplessly: "Fifty million taels of silver have been sealed and stored in the treasury, this money is to deal with unknown disasters in the future, and it cannot be moved, this is set by the old man." The rest of the money, part of the subsidy to the families of the wounded soldiers and fallen soldiers across the country, plus the disaster relief and road and water conservancy repairs in various places, plus the construction of the Forbidden City and the consumption of the Yongle Grand Ceremony, as well as Zheng He's next trip to the West, has already been spent. ”

"Huh."

Zhang sneered when he heard this.

"We paid the money, they got a good reputation, but the money was spent, the money was not enough, and they wanted us to take the money.

"Don't shout, don't shout!"

Zhu Chupang was startled, and reached out to cover Zhang's mouth.

"Go up to the side!"

Zhang opened Zhu's fat hand angrily, "No money, no money." ”

"Look at it, you get angry when you mention money, and they won't let us take too much, just 100,000 taels of silver. Didn't the second child just give you two million taels two days ago? You can just give me a good spot. ”

"Oops! 100,000 is not much, in the end it is the prince, the tone is big, 100,000 taels of silver are small money, since you are so capable, then find a way to raise money yourself!. ”

Zhang sneered and said with a cold face:

"This money is for my son to marry a daughter-in-law, and if I take this money away, what should my son do if he marries a daughter-in-law? The surname Zhu is telling you, this money can't be touched, if you dare to fight the idea of this money, your son will beat the single! The two emperors and grandsons beat the singles, and I saw that the old man's face was bright and not bright. ”

Seeing that his daughter-in-law did not eat oil and salt, Zhu Chupang looked helpless.

"I also know the reason, but the problem is, the second and third children have taken the money, if I don't pay for it, they want to go to the old man to sue him, what should I do if I get a big hat?"

Zhang's hand waved and said angrily: "If he wants to go, let him go!" It's not like our family hasn't taken money, seventy or eighty million taels of silver! Our family can't spend it all in our lives, and as a result, they finished it in a few days, and now they have no money, and they want to ask us for it, don't even think about it. ”

"I understand the reason, but now the situation is different, can you give me a little even."

As soon as Zhu Zhangui arrived in the courtyard, he heard the quarrel between the old couple, and hurriedly stood between the two and stopped the quarrel between the two.

"What's going on? Okay, why are you arguing again? ”

"Second child, you're just in time."

Seeing that the second son was back, Zhang's expression was overjoyed, and he grabbed Zhu Zhangui.

"Second brother, let me tell you, your second uncle, I want your father to take money from the family."

At this time, Zhu Zhangui was a little confused.

In terms of the plot, Zhu Gaoxu asked Zhu Fatpang to raise money, and the reason was indeed that the court had no money.

But now it's different, I have handed over so much money, Zhu Di can't make up this amount of money for the northern expedition, it's impossible to make it up!

"Dad, what's going on? It's only been a few days, and it's impossible for the imperial court to spend all the money, right? ”

Zhu Chupang spread his hands helplessly, and explained to Zhu Zhangui: "The money is there, and it is still 50 million taels." However, it was sealed and stored by your grandfather, saying that it was to keep some family funds in case of future needs. ”

"And the rest of the money, spread it out in various places, spend it in the east and spend it in the west, and there are still problems that need to be used in various places, and it has also been approved during this time, so there is not much money left."

The corners of Zhu Zhangui's mouth twitched.

Sure enough, it's not your own money, it's not distressing to spend it, these guys have money, it's really unkind to spend it!

Except for the 50 million reserves, the remaining money is also worth two or three years of financial taxes in the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, these things were built in a few days, and they were really a bunch of losers.

Zhu Zhangui sniffed, looked at his father and asked, "How much silver is there in that household?" ”

Zhu Chupang stretched out two fingers.

Zhu Zhangui frowned, "Although two million taels is a little less, it is almost enough." ”

Zhu Panpang rolled his eyes, "Son, you think too much, at the speed at which the court spends money, how can there be 2 million left." ”

Zhu Zhangui's eyes widened.

"There won't be only 200,000 taels left!"

Zhu Fatpang shook his head again.

"To be exact, there are only 20,000 taels left."

"Poof!"

Zhu Zhangui almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Damn, these losers, more than 20 million taels of silver, less than half a month, only 20,000 taels are left.

What kind of talent is this, so that the loser is so fast.

Zhu Chupang was also helpless, the guys in the imperial court, thinking that they had 50 million taels as reserve silver, did not keep their hands at all when they spent money.

Excerpts that are handed over to ask for money from all over the country, as long as they are not too exaggerated and conform to the facts, will be approved.

It's completely a look, rich and capricious.

If he is in prison, he can still stop it.

It's a pity that since the old man came back, he has been removed from his post as a prisoner.

The old man only approves, and he doesn't think about how much money is left, and when the second child comes to power, he waits for the second child to come to power.

After counting, there are only 20,000 taels left.

What is this money enough for, let alone the Northern Expedition, it is not enough to invite all the soldiers to a meal.

Han King Zhu Gaoxu wanted to get it out of Zhu Zhangui, but he didn't find a penny, so he had to come back to pit Zhu Fatpang, the boss.
