Chapter 21 Stimulating the Economy?

"My lord.. Now the meat is also stewed... The money in the account room should not be matched! I just don't know where the adults will be able to get the money."

"If you can't fill this hole, it's a big crime to kill your head!"

Seeing Feng Zongwu on the side, he was a little nervous.

Wang Siqi said with a smile: "My father is Wang You, the uncle of the Ming and Qing dynasties, who has made great achievements for the imperial court, and his family has a big business!" If there is no such silver, the Japanese official will naturally bring the silver from home. ”

Thinking that Wang Siqi had received extra silver from the imperial court, Feng Zongwu, who was secretly shocked by Wang Siqi's methods in his heart, was immediately stunned.

So he said in disbelief: "This? Uncle.. Can you do it? ”

"What's the willingness or not, it's a big deal... In the end, the official gave him a few shares, and after the Baoyuan Bureau became bigger and stronger in the future, these shares would be enough for him to retire. ”

Wang Siqi's voice has not yet fallen.

I heard a male voice in the distance: "What shares?" I wonder if we can be counted among them and participate in it? ”

This voice: . .

Wang Siqi is too familiar!

When he was in the East Palace before, Zhu Gaochi's voice had been around him for a long time, and of course the meaning of his words was inseparable from how difficult the court is now, and even he, His Royal Highness the Prince, was so poor that he couldn't lift his pants.

Zhu Gaochi squinted his eyes, looked at Wang Siqi with a smile and continued: "I didn't expect that it was better to come early than to come by chance, just arrived at the gate of the Baoyuan Bureau, and the fragrance of stewed meat came to my face!" ”

"Not bad, not bad! As soon as you come to Baoyuan Bureau, you can let these craftsmen eat meat! ”

"Looks like I'm not wrong."

After a few words, Wang Siqi suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart, so he hurriedly explained: "It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!" As the superintendent of the Baoyuan Bureau, he naturally can't treat the people who do things badly. ”

Wang Siqi, who has a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, naturally doesn't know.

Zhu Gaochi on the side was even more curious at this time, you must know that although it is not Hongwu now, day and night to beware of the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the north, the craftsmen up and down the Ministry of Industry are working day and night, and because of the rules set by Lao Zhu when the founding of the country, the income of the artisan household is extremely low.

But because the imperial court is not rich in the end.

Therefore, the life of the craftsmen can only be regarded as barely surviving.

However, if you want to eat a meal of meat, it is not easy.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes were not big, and it was even more difficult to see when he smiled, so I saw him say to Wang Siqi: "It's good!" It's good, but I don't know where this money comes from? ”

"You must know that every amount of silver in the Baoyuan Bureau is a major event for the purpose of minting coins."

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive they are

At this time, Zhu Gaochi was already under the instruction of Zhu Di and began to slowly take over the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

Start playing the role of a money bag.

It's just that this money bag is not good, there is only one hole to collect money upward, but there are countless holes in the entire pocket, so that Zhu Gaochi has to rely on pawning his own things in the East Palace from time to time to maintain his daily expenses.

This is also why, after hearing that the Baoyuan Bureau will be able to make money in the future.

And Wang Siqi was so attentive when he was ready to leave a share of his Qingyuan Bofu.

Speaking of which.

Zhu Gaochi, who got to the point, couldn't help but continue: "I heard it clearly outside the door just now, Lord Wang has a deal that can make a lot of money, even if it leaks a little, it is enough for Uncle Qingyuan's expenses. ”

"You don't know... East Palace, it's also bitter! ”

East Palace Bitter? Bitterness or not bitterness Wang Siqi does not have a clear understanding, but Wang Siqi knows that the entire Ming Dynasty belongs to the old Zhu family, and if you want to talk about hardship, you can't say anything about Zhu Gaochi's head.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have misheard!"

"I must have heard it wrong!"

"Lord Feng, you said, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, did this official say it?"

The crime of deceitful is a great sin, yes.

But you have to deceive the king..

Feng Zongwu on the side hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "I don't know, I don't know, Xia Guan was also wondering just now, where did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hear the words." ”

"That's it! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have worked too much for state affairs. ”

"Today, why don't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stay in the Baoyuan Bureau and eat the food that we craftsmen eat, it can be regarded as feeling the poor life of the toiling people!"

In Wang Siqi's eyes, what kind of person is Zhu Gaochi!

That is the current Prince of Daming, even if Zhu Gaochi in history has such and such advantages, but after all, this is to stir spoons in a big pot with hundreds of craftsmen from the Baoyuan Bureau.

I don't think I'm going to stay here.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhu Gaochi had just broken free from Wang Siqi's shameless performance, when he heard such words, and hurriedly said, "Don't say it!" This king has this intention! ”

"Someone! Tell the king's guards to all dismount and come in to taste the food of the Baoyuan Bureau, is it really as poor as Lord Wang said! ”

Poor?

Naturally, it is impossible, fresh pork is cut into even large pieces, because it is summer, the number of seasonal vegetables is still a lot, all of them are sent to the back kitchen, several women who came back with the purchase are quick with their hands and feet, and they are diligent in their work, Wang Siqi immediately let them stay.

After taking a bite of the meat in the bowl, Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said, "Baoyuan Bureau, it's really poor!" ”

After speaking, he also glanced at Wang Siqi with slanted eyes.

Unexpectedly, Wang Siqi also picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth without changing his face, nodded in deep agreement and said: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, when the Baoyuan Bureau will not be able to make ends meet tomorrow, please also ask the East Palace to help you with one or two." ”

"Good fellows! You really dare to speak, in a few days, I am afraid that your life in the Treasure Source Bureau will be more comfortable than the days of the East Palace. ”

"Do you want me to help you? You're here to support me. ”

While eating, Zhu Gaochi immediately said: "I heard that you negotiated a gambling contract with someone in the Tibetan Flower Pavilion today, a big gamble of 20,000 taels of silver!" ”

Although there was no mention of the content of the gambling contract in the words, Wang Siqi also knew that Zhu Gaochi was definitely the one who came to find him after he had already explored inside and out, and the prince didn't say that he wouldn't say anything, Wang Siqi said vaguely: "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't bring enough silver at that time, and I am also the eldest son of Qingyuan Bofu, so I can't eat white food in Qinglou because I can't afford to pay money!" ”

"Qinglou?"

Only then did Zhu Gaochi understand what kind of place the Hidden Flower Pavilion was.

Immediately lowered his voice and said, "You kid, tell me the truth... The place in Qinglou is really as good as people say? Twenty thousand taels of silver were spent in one night, so much money, do you know how many troops the imperial court can feed with it? ”

"The place is naturally a good place, but His Royal Highness the Prince, money. . . Not saved, but earned. ”

"Don't say that I haven't given 20,000 taels of silver yet, even if I do, it will stimulate the economy of the Ming Dynasty! That's a good thing! ”

Zhu Gaochi immediately froze in place to stimulate the economy?
