Chapter 23 Do You Sign or Not?

Zhu Zhanyong handed it over: "If Lord Wu agrees, he will sign the seal." ”

Wu Zhong's lips trembled: "Your Highness hasn't made it clear yet." ”

Zhu Zhanyong thought for a while and said, "If Lord Wu is convinced, this is the annotation that Mr. wrote to the students, and if Lord Wu is greedy and treacherous, this is the evidence of collusion with my father." ”

Wu Zhong smiled dryly: "Why does His Highness value the lower officials? ”

"I heard that when Lord Wu defended the city for the emperor's grandfather, he defeated the southern army of Emperor Jianwen, resisted Fusui Jizhou, and made outstanding achievements in controlling drought and locust plagues......... He's a scheming man. Zhu Zhanyong said with a smile.

Wu Zhong's face froze, and he said with a smile: "My merits, Your Highness is very clear?" ”

"To sign or not?"

Wu Zhong thought of the hungry people in the four counties, and thought that Zhu Di would summon him tomorrow to discuss the matter, sighed in his heart, and took the notebook.

looked left and right, and there was no one around.

He muttered as he signed, "Why does Your Highness want to use the university?" ”

"Well, because the university is short...... Lord Wu signed in the blank space, yes, here and here. ”

After signing, Zhu Zhanyong took back the notebook.

Wu Zhong looked at him with a smile, and said in his heart, Old man, see how you will gain a foothold in the capital in the future.

…………

Fengtian Temple.

Although Zhu Di sent Wu Zhong away, he was still worried about the people of Susong Hujia, pacing in the hall, frowning, as if he was thinking of a good strategy.

Zhu Zhanji blinked: "Since Grandpa Huang is concerned, why don't you allow Lord Wu to give me food?" ”

Zhu Di carefully taught: "The 200,000 army is pacifying Annan, the king of Han is marching north, I want to ensure that the treasury has grain and grass, Zhan Ji, when the emperor is like this, the sage and sage of the ages, is nothing more than a clear word, if the grain and grass are broken, you will lose the heart of the army." ”

As soon as the words fell, the old eunuch hugged Yun Zhan and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Wu is here to see you." ”

"He's doing it again, didn't I say it, let him think of a way."

"But ......"

In this way, Wu Zhong was sent away.

For a few days, he didn't come to Fengtian Temple, and he didn't play a sparse performance, Zhu Di was a little angry and ordered someone to summon him.

Wu Zhong lowered his head, crossed the threshold with his left leg, met Zhu Di's displeased gaze, walked to the center of the hall step by step, and bowed: "Minister, I have seen Your Majesty." ”

"I just said a few words to you, so how many days won't I come to see you?" Zhu Di stared at him.

"It's His Majesty who doesn't want to see the ministers......"

Zhu Di was very angry, but he also liked Wu Zhong's outspoken nature, and he could only endure it.

"What are you doing these days?"

"The minister has thought of a solution."

Zhu Di's body trembled and looked at Wu Zhong: "Wu Qing's family is talking about the matter of Susonghu Jiasi?" ”

"Yes." Wu Zhong nodded, and immediately, he said what he had discussed before and after polishing.

Zhu Di looked at Wu Zhong in surprise: "I listen, after the trial implementation of the new salt law, the salt ticket in Jiangnan is in an emergency, are there salt fields in Suzhou and other places?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are no salt fields, there are salt wells." In the past few days, Wu Zhong has made all preparations.

Zhu Di paced a few steps, and his expression softened: "In the past few days, I have forced you too quickly, and I have said a lot of ugly words, and I am also worried that the people of the four counties will gather into displaced people, and the fields will be retreated, Wu Qing doesn't have to take it to heart, I will appoint you as the right deputy capital of the imperial history, and you will personally supervise it." ”

"Minister... Minister......"

I wouldn't have scolded you if I had known!

Wu Zhong couldn't help the old tears, his voice trembled, choked in his throat for a long time, and he also admitted his mistake: "The minister is also sympathetic to the people, so he has repeatedly contradicted it, and the minister should make amends to His Majesty......"

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's do it." ”

The misunderstanding between the monarch and the minister was resolved.

After Wu Zhong withdrew, Zhu Di looked at the door of Fengtian Palace, his mouth was modest, but his heart was happy, he suddenly felt dry mouth, picked up the teacup, but saw two crickets in the teacup.

"Fuck! Zhu Zhanji... This little bastard! ”

…………

Beijing, Liren Street.

Iodized snowflake salt is selling well.

A luxurious carriage galloped slowly, Zhu Zhanyong left the palace, and Zhang Hui rode with him.

Since robbing his own granary, Zhang Hui has always wanted to prove his excellent knowledge, and now, he has finally earned back the 5,000 taels of salt sold and shared 1,000 taels.

Zhu Zhanyong didn't invest a penny, he wanted to set up a business to help, but he didn't help, but he made more than 3,000 taels, and he didn't raise the price of iodized snowflake salt.

If not, you will earn more.

Of course, it is inconvenient to bring these silver taels back to the palace and store them in Qi Zhong's cloth workshop.

Arrived at the Hou Mansion.

Zhang Hui jumped out of the carriage, took steps that his six relatives did not recognize, and slapped the door of his house hard.

"Open the door, open the door!"

When the steward saw him, he shouted through the door as if he had seen a bandit: "Young master, there is really no money in the house!" ”

“…… Young Master Ben is here to repay the money. ”

"Also...... Pay back? Young master, what are you kidding! Last time, you said that you wanted to repay the money, but in the end, it was the Hou Ye who owed you a thousand taels, take the bamboo pole quickly, the young master must have to climb over the wall. The steward hurriedly commanded.

"Into the ......"

How could Zhang Yu's generation of Guogong give birth to such a son......

Zhu Zhan scolded him, of course, he was still satisfied with the little brother.

walked to the crack in the door and tried to let the people inside see their faces clearly: "Zhu Zhanyong, open the door." ”

The steward did not dare to slack off, so he opened the door of the house, and saw the coachman and the laborers, hurrying to remove a dozen large black boxes from the carriage.

Really come to pay back?

In the backyard of the Hou Mansion, Li Zhiluxian sat in the pavilion, looking very moving, with a letter on the desk, and the paper looked like mulberry hemp paper used in the army.

The maid came to the side: "Miss, the young master has returned to the house with five thousand taels." ”

Li Zhilu's eyes immediately fell on the maid, thoughtful: "Have you counted it?" ”

The maid shook her head: "The steward is counting in the front yard." ”

While speaking, Zhang Hui's face was full of pride, and he walked to the backyard with a shaky walk, and when he saw Li Zhilu, he hummed softly: "Apologize!" I know, my sister has sued my eldest brother! ”

Li Zhilu directly ignored this brother in his eyes, and his eyes were snowy, and he threw himself at Zhu Zhanyong next to him, and bowed.

"The little girl should also be grateful to His Highness, otherwise, the Hou Mansion will definitely suffer losses, I don't know how His Highness turned salt into medicine?"

She could see that salt was selling well because it could prevent and treat big neck disease...... What a woman who lives alone and has a discerning eye.

At this moment, Zhu Zhanyong is like an old craftsman with a secret recipe, "It's extremely boring, Miss Li won't be interested, Miss Li seems to have something on her mind?" ”

"Nope."

It's perfunctory...... Zhu Zhanyong looked at the Qingshi case, and saw a half-opened letter: "What did Xinchenghou's letter say?" ”

"It's just a family matter."

"This emperor and grandson guess that it must be related to the imperial court's use of troops against Annan, the Marquis of Xincheng is good at leading the cavalry, and Annan is mostly lofty mountains and mountains, and the cavalry can't play to their strengths, so it's not easy to fight, right?"

"However, if the Marquis of Xincheng passes you the military plane, it is considered a leak of secrets, unless you show it to the emperor's grandson, otherwise it will ......"

Zhu Zhanyong showed a smile that would otherwise have serious consequences.

Li Zhilu clenched her fists lightly, gradually let go, and said coldly: "Your Highness, please take a look." ”

Zhu Zhanyong finished reading Xinchenghou's letter, and looked back and forth: "It's really a family letter, Xinchenghou is loyal to the court, and the emperor is worried." ”

Li Zhilu casually found a reason, broke Zhang Hui away, and retreated the maidservant girl before looking at Zhu Zhanyong and said:

"My eldest brother has always rarely said anything about his children's affection."

"Miss Li mean?"

"He must have been in Annam, and something unpredictable had happened, but it was inconvenient to mention it in the letter."

Zhu Zhan Yong groaned slightly, and then raised his head: "Miss Li wants to know about Annan?" ”
