Chapter Eighty-Eight: Xu'er Grows Up
"Your Highness, can you redeem the silver taels in Huibaotong in Luling County?"
Lin Hao asked tightly.
"The subordinates asked the shopkeeper of Huibaotong in Luling County, but His Royal Highness did not go to pay the silver taels."
Wang Ben blamed himself to the extreme, if he had followed His Royal Highness at that time, how could there be such a mess.
"Tomorrow in the court, I will ask Your Majesty for orders to go to Jiangnan Mansion to build a water system."
Lin Hao also realized the seriousness of the matter, with Zhu Gaoxu's temperament, if it wasn't for the accident, it would be impossible not to pay the silver taels.
"Lin Aiqing responded to the heavens and asked him to come into the palace to see me."
Zhu Di learned from Zhao Si that the first thing Lin Hao did in response to the sky was to go to Fengyang Palace, presumably because Ning Er's condition had found a solution.
In addition, now the Daming Tobacco Division can be described as a daily gold, in just two months, the inner treasury silver has saved millions of taels.
Those Turks in Mobei have faintly troubled movements, the Ming Dynasty is not short of soldiers, what is lacking is grain and grass, as long as the silver is sufficient, he can also seal the wolf Juxu!
……
Lin Hao had to be summoned to the palace, but he was still quite worried in his heart, could it be that Zhu Di already knew about the disappearance of His Royal Highness.
"Wechen has seen Your Majesty!"
Lin Hao prostrated in front of the hall and bowed.
"Lin Aiqing doesn't have to make this big gift, Zhao Si has tea!"
Zhu Di looked at Lin Hao more and more, if he could have met it a few years earlier, how could there be any martyrdom.
"I wonder what Your Majesty has?"
Lin Hao asked tentatively.
"Ning'er's condition, I think there should be a solution."
Zhu Di scattered a yellow crane tower for Lin Hao, and said with a slight squint.
"Weichen went to Xianshan to get the immortal medicine this time, and Princess Xianning's illness will be cured in a few days."
Lin Hao didn't believe it, Zhu Di called him to come just because of Princess Xianning's illness.
"This is very good, there are three important things to call you here this time, one of which is that since I returned to Yingtian, I feel that the food is tasteless, you have to transfer a cook from Taoyuan County, to the palace food bureau, in charge of my diet."
Zhu Di took a deep puff of his cigarette and said slowly.
I thought that with a little silver, I would be able to dig up a cook from Taoyuan, so I couldn't wipe this face and opened my mouth to Lin Hao, and I never thought that I couldn't even enter the gate of Taoyuan County.
The imperial chef of the palace food bureau, what people make is simply pig food, it is difficult to swallow at all, and you can only eat some pastries every day.
If it weren't for the busy affairs of the DPRK and China, he would have already paid a private visit again.
Therefore, the first major thing Lin Hao did when he came back was to solve the problem of eating.
"Your Majesty wants the cook, why didn't you say it earlier, the cook of Ying Tianshang Clothing Fang is from Taoyuan County, and he will be able to enter the palace tonight."
The corners of Lin Hao's mouth twitched, and he was so emotionally invited to come from afar, just to eat.
"Second, the tobacco division has now been opened in every corner of Daming, and all cigarettes are in short supply, I don't know if Taoyuan can increase production, just double it."
Zhu Di made a small calculation in his heart, if the output of tobacco could be doubled, it would be enough to support him to personally recruit the food and salary of Mobei again.
"The production of cigarettes mainly depends on tobacco, and tobacco is top secret, and it is not suitable for large-scale cultivation, otherwise once it enters the people, the losses caused to the imperial court will be incalculable, please think twice."
Lin Hao arched his hand, now the tobacco planting base is set by Lin Hao again and again, and it is simply unrealistic to find a suitable planting place in a short period of time.
The seeds of tobacco must not flow into the people, and the proliferation of fake cigarettes in later generations is a lesson from the past.
The Ming Dynasty did not have such a perfect legal mechanism in later generations, so it must be eliminated.
Zhu Di also bowed slightly, tobacco must be controlled in the hands of the royal family no matter what, otherwise it will be a tiger for trouble.
According to the surplus of these two months, the tax revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty is now less than the profit of the tobacco department.
"This matter depends on you, the last thing is Xu'er, I think he has been going to Jiangnan Mansion for two months, he should have had enough, but there is no news back, do you know where he is?"
Zhu Di loves and hates this second child.
"His Royal Highness is now sympathetic to the feelings of the people among the victims, and often has correspondence with Weichen, which can be said to be quite a feeling, the matter of Xianshan seeking medicine has come to an end, and the matter of going to Jiangnan Mansion to build a water system must also be put on the agenda, and tomorrow Weichen will ask His Majesty for his life in the court."
"When the Jiangnan Mansion opens the canal to divert water, I will respond to the sky with His Royal Highness II."
Lin Hao handed the letters that had been forged in advance to Zhu Di.
"Brother Lin has been doing well recently, trying to go to Luling County with something, and stealing thousands of miles of red land, the people have no rice cooking, no salary, no water, and I am worried."
"The husband and the official often close the grain. Peaceful to the people, convenient. However, those who are thousands of miles away cannot come for the rice of the Shengdou. ”
……
"Woohoo, who means the purity of people's hearts and the thickness of customs, it is not as good as the ancients!"
Looking at the sincerity of the words in the letter, Zhu Di was quite pleased, Zhu Gaoxu had really grown up.
"Xu'er can have this insight, it is inseparable from Lin Aiqing's words and deeds, it is also a good thing to have more experience and experience, and I have repeatedly performed miraculous feats for the Ming Dynasty, how should I reward you."
Zhu Di was another cigarette and said after a little thought.
"Wechen didn't dare to ask for any reward, this time from Xianshan, I brought a gift to Your Majesty, called betel nut, there is a saying in Wechen's hometown, it is said that betel nut and tobacco mana are boundless."
Lin Hao handed a bag of Hecheng Tianxia to Zhu Di's case.
Zhu Di unpacked the package in a novel way, stuffed the betel nut into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.
At the entrance, I only felt cold and delicious, and a dark energy surged up, and my head was dizzy.
"Lin Aiqing, I treat you well on weekdays, why did you poison me!"
Zhu Di only felt that his throat was blocked, he couldn't even breathe, he pressed his chest tightly, glared at Lin Hao, and squeezed out.
Although he has not known Lin Hao for a long time, among Zhu Di's most trusted courtiers, there is also Lin Hao.
I never imagined that Lin Hao would murder himself!
"Your Majesty Shao'an is not impatient, at this time, the strength of the betel nut, and when the momentum passes, you will know the wonder of this thing."
Lin Hao squinted slightly, he still remembered that in later generations, when he was in middle school, he almost choked to death when he ate betel nut for the first time.
As time passed, the blockage in the neck gradually subsided, and a hot sweat appeared, and I only felt extremely transparent.
Taking a puff of cigarette, Zhu Di felt straight into the sky, so happy!
"It's wonderful!"
"If you can sell it with cigarettes......
Zhu Di suddenly sensed the business opportunity of betel nut.
Lin Hao poured a large bag of betel nuts that had been prepared in front of Zhu Di, and waved his hand helplessly: "This is all the betel nuts in Daming today." ”
These stocks are still brought by him from the 21st century through the system space, 500 yuan a package and the world.
He also planted betel nut trees in Daming, but the maturity cycle of betel nut trees is as long as seven or eight years, that is, the first batch of betel nut trees planted can only bear fruit after three years.
Moreover, the maturity cycle is still under the soil quality of later generations, and the land of Daming is barren, and God knows if the result will be affected, so the sale of betel nuts is not within Lin Hao's expectations at all.
