Chapter 370: What Does the Emperor Mean?
Zhu Yunxi heard that Lao Zhu had even inquired about the mode of transportation, so he awkwardly covered his head with the quilt and pretended to snore.
"Whew...... Hoo ......"
Lao Zhu saw that the eldest grandson was actually playing with him and pretending to sleep, how could he let him go easily, so he slapped his ass hard.
"Wow......
Zhu Yunxi shouted in response, and as soon as he screamed, he saw Lao Zhu's big face pasting over.
"You dare to pretend not to sleep!"
"Grandpa Huang's life, grandson doesn't dare......
Lao Zhu laughed a few times when he heard this, and then lectured with a straight face.
"What we're talking to you is serious, how dare you turn a deaf ear?"
"No ......"
"No fart!"
Lao Zhu angrily slammed at the eldest grandson's ass a few more times, and squeaked the little rebel grandson, and then he hatefully withdrew his hand.
"This is a small warning to you, don't toss around in the future!"
"Oooh......"
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he knew why he was imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison.
Dare to love the emperor's grandfather because he sells "iron pieces".
But you can't blame yourself, the second uncle and the fifth uncle have paid all the money, and it's a bit unreasonable to not deliver the goods by yourself!
Lao Zhu saw that what the eldest grandson said sounded good, but there was still a disapproving expression on his face, so he was angry.
If it weren't for the fact that he had just been beaten during the day, he would have dragged him off the bed and beaten him on the ground.
"Do you think we're making a big fuss?"
"Hmm...... Yes...... No, the emperor's grandfather is shining with a candle, and if he looks at the fire, how can his grandson dare to slander him!"
Lao Zhu originally raised his palm, but when he heard the sycophants behind the eldest grandson, he put it down with a smile.
"You!"
"You little rebel grandson, all relying on a clever mouth, if it weren't for this clever mouth, we would have sent you to the edge of the sky a long time ago, hehehe......
Lao Zhu laughed a few times, gently pinched the eldest grandson's little ear, and turned on the storytelling mode.
"Do you know why we don't let you sell your armor?"
"I don't know!"
"Let's tell you, we saw your righteous great-grandfather Guo Zixing in Engou City back then......
"Is it Grandma Guo's father?"
"Yes!"
"At that time, the city was divided into several groups, and we advised your great-grandfather several times to let him move out of the city with his troops and attack other places to seek great things."
"But your great-grandfather just wouldn't listen. Not only did they not listen, but they also detained the rebels we had worked so hard to recruit."
"In the end, we came out of the city of Enzhou with twenty-four brothers alone, and along the way attacked Dingyuan, went south to Chuzhou, and finally captured Yingtianfu......
"Do you know why?"
Zhu Yunxi listened to Lao Zhu's story, and only felt like he was listening to a book from heaven.
No wonder this old man has such a big temper and dares to be so capable when he was young.
Dare to fight the world with only two dozen people?
Now hearing Lao Zhu's sudden question, Zhu Yunxi said tentatively in combination with his own experience of being beaten.
"Is it because of the armor?"
As soon as Zhu Yunxi finished saying this, he felt a sharp pain in his back.
It turned out that the old man was so emotional that he subconsciously patted himself on the back!
"Yes!" ….
"Although we only brought twenty-four people back then, everyone was wearing heavy armor!"
"Armor is so useful that you can make one as ten?"
Lao Zhu laughed when he heard this.
"Our stupid grandson, not only is one as ten, it is simply one as a hundred!"
"Let me tell you this, in an ordinary rebel army, a thousand people may not be able to have a pair of armor!"
"If you had ten guards in armor and weapons at hand, you would be able to chase a thousand people!"
"This ......"
Zhu Yunxi was stupid when he heard this, he never thought that the ancient armor would be so powerful.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw his eldest grandson's reaction, he thought that the eldest grandson didn't believe it.
"Don't you believe me?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard this.
"It's not that I don't believe it, but I don't dare to believe it......
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled again when he heard this.
"Why don't we have someone practice for you another day, so that you can see the difference between wearing armor and not wearing armor?"
"Uh-huh......
"Grandpa Huang, if the future battlefield is no longer a sword, gun, sword and halberd, but a very powerful firecracker, and the armor can no longer block the projectiles of the firecracker, then there is no need to ban the armor?"
When Lao Zhu heard this, he thought of the fire stick made by the rebel grandson, which was said to be quite powerful, and the hit was quite far, and the accuracy was much better than the previous fire gun.
But Lao Zhu has always disagreed with this, the fire gun is the fire gun, how far can it be?
And just that slender pipe, if you put too much gunpowder, you have to block it, how powerful can it be.
However, since the eldest grandson asked like this, he had no choice but to explain a few words.
"That's for later!"
"If you can really make a powerful firebolt and can pierce the armor in one fell swoop, then you can naturally not help the armor."
"But on the flip side, you should have banned the firecracker then."
"In short, if you want to maintain the stability of the dynasty, you must hold the most powerful things in the hands of the imperial court, and maintain enough deterrence against the eight directions and four yi, so that they dare not despise our Daming!"
Zhu Yunxi tilted his head and thought about it, and suddenly realized that what the imperial grandfather said made sense.
Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the later generations, it seems that the government always has to control something, so as to ensure its own rule.
"Grandpa Huang, grandson understands!"
"Don't worry, the country's important weapon, grandchildren will not give it to people easily!"
"I hope so!"
Lao Zhu was completely speechless about his rebel grandson, and his mind was full of how to make money.
"You rebel grandson, if you give you enough money, you can probably sell us......
Zhu Yunxi said with a smile when he heard this.
"How could it?"
"People say that there is a treasure in the family, if there is an old ......"
When Lao Zhu saw his grandson praising himself like this, he was immediately so happy that he couldn't see his eyebrows. However, after thinking about it, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and this rebel Sun deliberately said the opposite!
"Rebel Sun!"
"That's an old man, if there is a treasure!"
"We're treasures!"
Zhu Yunxi saw that Lao Zhu noticed it so quickly, and laughed happily.
"Wow, you're so smart, you've heard that?"
Lao Zhu stretched out his big hand and shook it threateningly in front of the rebel grandson. ….
"Rebel grandson, what do you think this is?"
"Spare your life!"
"It's late, hahaha!"
Not long after, there was a rhythmic "whoa" sound from the senior cell, which frightened the two bastards in the next ward.
"Hasn't the father finished beating his grandson?"
"Who knows, crying and laughing for a while, it's really moody......
The two were talking when they suddenly heard the "creak" of the iron door. When the two heard this, they hurriedly lay down on the bed and snored.
Lao Zhu pushed the switch to the cell where the two rebels were held, and saw that the two rebels were sleeping quite soundly, so he immediately said to the Jinyi guard on the side.
"Since these two rebels like it here, let's close it for half a month first!"
When the two heard this, they hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Father, spare your life, the environment in this place is too bad, and the retainer can't stay for a moment!"
Lao Zhu closed the cell door as if no one was around, but when he left the prison, his steps became extremely brisk, and he hummed a Fengyang minor tune in his mouth
, which is enough to prove that the old man is still very happy when he sees his two sons eating deflated.
After Lao Zhu left, a few more people came to the cell.
Erhu and Qin Deshun all came to visit, and changed him with a brocade quilt, and even the toilet in the cell was replaced by the palace.
Concubine Guo Hui also led Concubine Han and Concubine Yang over to take a look, Concubine Han and Concubine Yang cried in Zhu Yunxi's cell, and went to teach their two rebels next door.
Only Guo Huifei was left to settle accounts with Zhu Yunxi.
True reckoning, no other meaning.
"Yun Xi, isn't there a lot of business in the Ming Iron and Steel Chamber of Commerce recently, and when I went to check the accounts, I saw several entries of hundreds of thousands of taels......
Guo Huifei is the vice president of the Minggang Chamber of Commerce and has the right to audit the accounts at any time.
Now the government-run workshops of the Ministry of Industry have become useless, and the steel output of the Ming Iron and Steel Chamber of Commerce under Zhu Yunxi's name accounts for more than half of the Ming Dynasty.
And it's constantly improving.
Once the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant is officially put into operation, the steel output of the Ming Iron and Steel Chamber of Commerce will increase several times.
Recently, Lao Zhu asked the vassal king to enter Beijing to practice martial arts, and the vassal kings everywhere were working hard to purchase weapons and armor, which caused the business of the Minggang Chamber of Commerce to skyrocket.
Although the Ming Iron and Steel Chamber of Commerce does not dare to sell ordnance and armor blatantly, it can sell iron and accessories unscrupulously.
For example, the blank of the waist knife, as long as you buy it back and forge it, it is a good knife. They also sold the wire and pieces of iron for the weaving of the armor.
As for horseshoes and the like, they are related to people's livelihood, and the laws of the imperial court can't control them.
Therefore, the vast majority of the 300,000 taels of silver saved by Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, went into Zhu Yunxi's treasury.
"Grandma Guo, these items are all taken care of by Uncle Wang......
Guo Huifei suddenly became angry when she heard this, stretched out her slender jade fingers, and poked Zhu Yunxi's head vigorously.
"You're too bold, if they dare to buy it, you dare to sell it!"
"I don't think I'm an outsider, and if I sell it, I sell it......
"By the way, Uncle Eleven also bought a lot of ......."
When Concubine Guo Hui heard this, she was speechless, because the so-called eleventh uncle was Zhu Chun, the king of Shu in the Ming Dynasty, who was the eldest son she was born. ….
"Ahem......
"Your eleventh uncle is different from others, you still have to be wary of other uncles......
Zhu Yunxi saw Concubine Guo Huifei say this, so he smiled.
"Grandson naturally knows that Uncle Eleven is different from others, so everyone else is money before goods, and only Uncle Eleven can pay on credit!"
"On credit?"
As soon as Concubine Guo Huifei heard that someone dared to take credit, she reflexively frowned. Thinking that it was his son, his brows gradually stretched again.
"Ahem......
"Shu is narrow, the people's livelihood is withering, the mountain people are still slippery, and they don't obey the education of the dynasty, so you don't need to rush to urge your eleventh uncle's payment, and deduct the dividends from the palace......
No matter how virtuous Concubine Guo Hui is, when she encounters her own son, she will inevitably be partial.
"We just need to know about this, and we don't need to tell your imperial grandfather!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Grandma Guo don't worry, her grandson won't tell anyone!"
When Concubine Guo Huifei heard this, she happily patted Zhu Yunxi's little face.
"That's good!"
"It's not in vain that I hurt you!"
After Concubine Guo Hui praised Zhu Yunxi, she immediately got up and said.
"Come!"
"Let Grandma Guo see, what Zhu Yuanzhang has done to you, if you break you, see if I don't fight with him when I go back!"
"Don't...... It's okay......
When Concubine Guo Hui saw Zhu Yunxi like this, she immediately sneered.
"You little monkey, we didn't see anywhere when we were young, how old did you learn to be shy?"
Guo Huifei said this as she lifted the gauze covering Zhu Yunxi's buttocks.
When she saw two red petals
Tong's buttocks, willow eyebrows immediately erected.
"Zhu Yuanzhang!"
"You've been cut for a thousand times, see how I'll clean you up when I go back!"
"Yun Xi, you are so born here to recuperate, Grandma Guo will go back to vent for you!"
Concubine Guo Hui snorted and walked out, and when she passed by the cell next door, she kicked her "Bang Dang".
"The alias is gone!"
"Hurry up and follow me back to the palace and vent my anger for Xiao Xixi!"
When Concubine Han and Concubine Yang heard this, they hurriedly covered their son with gauze, and then cried and followed Concubine Guo Hui back to the palace.
Concubine Guo Hui returned to the palace angrily and immediately ordered someone to lock the door of the harem.
However, after Concubine Guo Hui gave the order, the eunuch guarding the door did not move.
Seeing this, Concubine Guo Hui roared angrily.
"Won't Hongu's words work?"
"Locked!"
"Back to Concubine Hui, the emperor has already entered Concubine Han's palace......
"Huh?"
Concubine Guo Hui was dumbfounded when she heard this, she never expected that Lao Zhu would predict her prediction.
"This damn Goryeo slut dares to hook up with the emperor, see how the palace will fix her tomorrow!"
Concubine Guo Hui saw that Lao Zhu had slipped into the harem, so she no longer ordered someone to lock the door.
She is playing petty, and she will never lose the face of the emperor because of her petty nature, let alone delay the major events of the court.
In Concubine Han's palace, Lao Zhu hugged the Goryeo beauty and listened to Qin Deshun's report outside the account.
"Emperor, as you expected, Concubine Hui ordered someone to lock the door when she came back from Beizhen Fusi, and I heard that you had already stayed in Concubine Han's palace, so I gave up the idea of locking the door!"
Lao Zhu laughed proudly when he heard this.
"That shrew is stupid, isn't she?"
"Not really!"
"According to the report of the little eunuch, Concubine Hui was so angry that her face turned green, and she threatened to rectify Concubine Han tomorrow!"
Concubine Han, who was lying in Lao Zhu's arms, was so frightened that her face was bloodless when she heard this.
"Emperor, you better go back, or Sister Guo can kill the concubine......
When Lao Zhu heard this, he hugged the little beauty of Goryeo tightly, and he didn't care about the authenticity.
"We're not dead yet, what are you afraid of that woman doing?"
When Concubine Han heard Lao Zhu say this, she immediately felt a lot more at ease.
"Emperor, what posture are you going to play today?"
Lao Zhu secretly sighed when he heard this.
"We're short of ...... today."
Concubine Han let out an "oh" with a disappointed face, and then heard the emperor add a sentence, and her heart became full of joy.
"Although we are tired, you can take the initiative......
"What does the emperor mean?"
Lao Zhu grabbed Concubine Han's body with a wicked smile, stretched out his big fan-like hand, and slapped Concubine Han's ass heavily.
"Climb up...... Do it yourself......"
