As soon as Zhu An returned to the palace, he was told by the eunuch that the emperor had ordered the prince and the princess to wait in the imperial study with all their net worth.

Zhu An's eyes moved slightly, Yu Hao was really like a god, presumably his father asked him to bring the silver for the purpose of allocating funds for disaster relief.

Thinking of this, Zhu An hurriedly went back to Cining Palace, took all the silver tickets, and hurried to the imperial study.

At the door of the imperial study, he happened to meet the prince who was being carried over, at this time the prince was holding a small box in his hand, his face was quite unhappy, and he glanced at Zhu An, who was dragging two large boxes with a board cart, and entered the imperial study.

Zhu An also hurriedly followed, and at this time, the four princes and Princess Jianyang had already arrived.

Zhu Song sat at the desk and looked at these princes and princesses with a smile, "Did you bring all the money?" ”

"Back to my father, I brought it all, I don't know why my father asked us to bring money?" The second prince asked.

The emperor gave Feng Yulou a look, and Feng Yulou hurriedly stepped forward and said: "There is a drought in the north, thousands of miles of red land, and all the crops are dead. ”

As soon as these words came out, the second prince and others were quite dissatisfied, and the prince secretly scolded Zhu Song in his heart: You are merciful, you are disaster relief, then you use your money, use the money from the treasury, what's the matter with letting us pay?

Zhu Song obviously saw their thoughts, and Zhengse said: "Now that the treasury is empty, I have emptied my own inner treasury, but it is still far from enough, so I have no choice but to call you here to find a way together." ”

"What is the father and emperor talking about, the people are in disaster, how can we, as the prince and princess, sit idly by, now that the country has no money, we should do our part." Princess Jianyang said.

Zhu Song nodded with satisfaction, although Princess Jianyang is brutal and willful on weekdays, her heart is not bad, and she is also a princess who cares about the people, which is quite similar to Zhu Song, which is why Zhu Song loves her so much.

The prince glared at Princess Jianyang fiercely, and sneered at Princess Jianyang's words in his heart.

In his opinion, they are members of the royal family and the masters of the world, and they should let the people of the world worship them, instead of taking money to go out to help the people of the world.

The treasury is empty, and there is no money for disaster relief, so it is easy to do, and wouldn't it be okay to increase taxes in areas that have not been affected by disasters?

Although he thought so in his heart, the prince didn't dare to say it, but made a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "What the imperial sister said is that as the eldest brother, the sons and daughters naturally have to take the lead in standing up for their father's worries. ”

As he spoke, the prince raised the small box in his hand: "Father, the box contains all the net worth of the son, and the son is willing to take it all out for disaster relief." ”

Feng Yulou hurriedly stepped forward to take the box and carefully placed it in front of Zhu Song.

Zhu Song nodded, satisfied with the prince's approach, and slowly opened the box.

But in the next second, Zhu Song frowned.

In the box was a stack of silver tickets, a few gold bars, a few silver ingots of ten taels plus two pairs of jade bracelets, and even a few broken silver and a few copper coins in the corner.

At first glance, the prince has brought all his net worth, but I am afraid that it will add up to less than 5,000 taels of silver.

Zhu Song knew very well in his heart that the crown prince had deducted hundreds of thousands of military salaries from the Ministry of War alone in the past few years, and he had colluded with the ministers to embezzle and accept bribes in private, so how could he have this money.

But Zhu Song didn't break it, but showed a smile and put the box aside with a smile.

Seeing Zhu Song's appearance, the prince was secretly happy in his heart, this bit of silver was not painful for him.

And the less silver he took out can also show that he lives frugally on weekdays, doesn't this leave an impression of honesty and honesty in Zhu Song's heart?

The prince was secretly happy, but he didn't know that Zhu Song had already seen him through.

When the second prince saw the contents of the prince's box, he immediately showed a meaningful smile and handed over the box in his arms: "Father, this is the son's minister's." ”

Zhu Song took the box and opened it slowly, there were a few ingots lying quietly inside, and the rest were all broken silver, adding up to a few hundred taels.

Seeing this, the prince's eyes were about to pop out, he thought he was stingy enough, but he didn't expect the second child to be even more stingy than him.

At this time, the second prince hurriedly said: "Father, before this, the son had already paid for a batch of grain to send to the disaster area, so there was only this money left on him, and I asked my father not to blame." ”

Zhu Song nodded, and didn't say anything, the matter of the second prince buying grain for disaster relief was known to everyone in Wudu City, and it was difficult for him to think about it.

However, only the second prince knew in his heart that the batch of grain he bought was actually coarse chaff mixed with various grain husks, and a bag of coarse chaff could not be shaved out of a hundred grains of rice, and it was generally used to feed pigs, and it didn't cost much at all.

"The second brother has a heart, father, this is the monthly money from childhood to adulthood, as well as the jewelry rewarded by the father and the queen mother." Princess Jianyang said, putting the box in front of Zhu Song.

It was full of silver tickets, all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, gold bars, ingots, jade pearls, worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened.

Zhu Song's eyes showed a look of relief, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Princess Jianyang grinned, took off the hairpin on her head and put it in the box, suddenly thought of something, and took out a small white jade bottle from her arms, "Although I have used this perfume, it must be worth some money if it is sold, so take it from my father!" ”

"Yes, she deserves to be my daughter." Zhu Song smiled and touched Princess Jianyang's head.

This perfume was brought back by the lord of Hailing, and when she learned that it was given by Yu Hao, Princess Jianyang didn't want it, but she still couldn't resist the lord of Hailing, so she took a bottle.

"Father, I'm not as rich as Sister Jianyang, these are all my net worth."

At this moment, the fourth prince took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and put them in front of Zhu Song.

Although there are not many of these silver tickets, they are almost the same as those taken out by the prince.

The three princes and one princess made up less than 100,000 taels of silver, and most of them were paid by Princess Jianyang alone.

Zhu Song was sad and angry in his heart, this money was not enough for disaster relief, could it be that they had to force them to take out the money?

Seeing this, the prince thought about it, and hurriedly said: "Father, according to the opinion of the sons, this money is not enough for disaster relief, it is better to let Yu Hao take out some money, anyway, he is about to become a concubine, and he has made a lot of money in business these days, and he should give some money." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Song's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, how could he forget Yu Hao, this kid.

He made a lot of money in his name, so it's not too much for him to take some money, right?

Seeing that he was completely neglected, the third prince Zhu An was not annoyed, but when he heard the prince say that he wanted to ask Yu Hao for money, Zhu An was suddenly unhappy.

You princes' money is all scraped people's fat and people's ointment, so you can only take such a little money, Yu Hao's money is all earned by his ability, why let him pay?

Thinking of this, Zhu An hurriedly stood up and said, "I don't have to worry about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this matter, Yu Hao has already taken out a sum of money and asked me to bring it over." ”

As he spoke, Zhu An dragged in the two large boxes at the door of the imperial study......
