Zhu Gaoxu's head is buzzing, his business is big, and he looks beautiful, but to be honest, there are really few people who can get the money in his hand.

"Brother Xian, how about I give you five times the market price?"

Xu Jingchang gave him a big roll of his eyes, and he didn't even bother to say anything.

Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth, "What about ten times?" ”

Xu Jingchang simply stood up, turned his face around, and gave Zhu Gaoxu a back, you can experience it yourself!

Zhu Gaoxu remembered sweating and said angrily: "How much do you want?" There's always a number! Or I'll give you 30% dry shares, 50% will do! ”

Xu Jingchang finally turned his head, but still refused.

"I need about 800,000 taels of silver, another 3,000 people, a considerable amount of bricks and timber, and by the way, some skilled craftsmen."

Zhu Gaoxu was directly speechless, the money can be figured out, but the people and materials are not something he can say. As for the craftsmen, he didn't have so many on his hands.

And most importantly, what are you going to do with so much?

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it, and suddenly patted his head, and then he understood.

"Brother Xian, you don't have a mansion, do you?" Zhu Gaoxu said: "I just remembered that you have been named the Duke of the Kingdom, and this house was still purchased by my uncle when he was the governor of Zuodu, next to the original Xu Mansion, and in terms of pattern, it is much smaller." You'll need a bigger mansion, one that fits the status of the Duke of Dingguo. I've taken care of this and I promise to keep you satisfied...... I'll build you a house, and I'll help you Zhang Luo a family affair when I go back, marry a wife in a beautiful scenery, have another baby, and continue your family's incense. The queen mother will also agree to this, why didn't I think of it before, it's really damn damned! ”

Zhu Gaoxu was about to go on, but Xu Jingchang snorted coldly: "You are as useless as you?" I want these things because I want to build a temple. ”

"Temple? What temple? ”

"A big temple to commemorate the restoration of Yanyun." Xu Jingchang said: "Actually, I'm also thinking about what to do with the land outside the city...... I plan to exchange it for money, and then build a big temple in Beiping to commemorate the merits of my predecessors, shine in the annals of history, and comfort the heroic souls. ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned, couldn't help but sit down, and said seriously to Xu Jingchang: "Brother Xian, you talk carefully, I want to find out what you want to do." ”

Xu Jingchang nodded, "Back then, Emperor Taizu joined the righteous army, gathered the generals of Huaixi, went down to the sky, fixed the south of the Jiangnan, expelled the Northern Yuan, and restored the rivers and mountains...... Thinking back then, the 250,000 army, majestic and high-spirited, crossed the Yellow River and smashed Yanyun, what a courage it was! Throughout the ages, there have been so many Northern Expeditions, Zhuge Wuhou six out of Qishan, Huan Wen three Northern Expeditions, Liu Yu recovered Guanzhong, swallowing thousands of miles...... However, they are not as good as our Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition, from south to north, soldiers compete for the first, and soldiers use their lives. Overthrew the Great Yuan Dynasty in one fell swoop and recovered the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties. This is a feat that no one has done for thousands of years! And this feat, which you and I did before our ancestors, isn't it worth commemorating? ”

Zhu Gaoxu's breathing gradually became heavier...... Yes, from now on, it will only be thirty-six years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it will only be thirty-five years since the hearty Northern Expedition.

Although the personnel withered, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Guo Ying, and Lan Yu ...... and other generals, all of them are dead, including Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang has also died.

But there are still some old people, and their exploits are still shining in the annals of history.

As their descendants, shouldn't we do something?

Zhu Gaoxu still remembers Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, when he was also called to Yingtian to study with a bunch of imperial grandchildren...... Once, Lao Zhu asked them to go to the school to review the three armies.

Zhu Gaochi saw that the sky was still bright, and he was afraid that he would work hard, so he didn't go.

Therefore, Lao Zhu was considered a benevolent and good child, so he became the son of King Yan.

Generally speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang likes the kind of good children who are obedient and good at reading.

Taste, can only be said to be very down-to-earth, similar to ordinary parents.

As for Zhu Gaoxu's jumping type, he is not very welcome.

Zhu Gaoxu also did not have too deep feelings for this imperial grandfather.

But people will always change, in the past, Zhu Gaoxu was just in the army with his head stuffy and charged his father into battle, and the rest was to think about surpassing the boss and becoming the prince of the Ming Dynasty, without thinking too much.

But as he started his own business, he was on his own...... Zhu Gaoxu gradually had different ideas, how difficult it was to do things!

Not to mention anything else, just lending money made him anxious.

Also, he went to sign a contract with the people of western Zhejiang, and he saw the portrait of his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang in several farmhouses and dilapidated houses.

Although it is only painted on a broken wooden board, it is enshrined at the highest point and worshiped as a god.

Those old farmers still remember who gave them the land and gave them a new life.

Zhu Gaoxu has even heard people say more than once that if Emperor Hongwu is still alive, he will not ignore the big guys.

In people's hearts, whether it is Jianwen or Yongle, they are really far less popular than Emperor Hongwu.

If I hadn't had my grandfather laid a huge foundation, would I have the status I have today?

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, "I understand, Brother Xian, I'll pay for this money!" I'll also figure out how to do it for personnel and materials. This is a big thing for our ancestors, and it's also a big thing for us! Let's fight for the face of our predecessors. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said directly: "I'll think of a way now, how to repair this temple, you have an idea." ”

Xu Jingchang was shocked, he was also improvised, but seeing Zhu Gaoxu so simply, Xu Jingchang suddenly realized that this matter was very funny.

The so-called removal of the old and the new, if he slashes at the head of the Buddha, the number of monks in the world will be reduced by more than ninety.

But the problem is that the old ones are gone, the new ones are delayed, and the remaining space will be reoccupied by others. What you have worked so hard to do now will lose its meaning.

If we can take this opportunity to set a new benchmark, the entire Ming Dynasty will be different.

"Shilin civil officials, words must be called Confucius and Mencius, and learning must be Zong Cheng Zhu Lixue...... Isn't there a real hero for 2,000 years? Why should we be thick with the past and thin the present? Why can't we tap into the great contribution of our Ming Dynasty? Xu Jingchang's tone became more and more high, and Zhu Gaoxu on the other side was also excited.

"That's right! My grandfather, your grandfather, they did such amazing things, why can't they compare to Kong Meng? We want to make a name for our ancestors! Zhu Gaoxu said excitedly: "In the past, I was still hesitating, what is the use of making money, but now I know, this is what I do!" ”

"Brother Xian, you said that one day, when I am old, I will see the emperor's grandfather, and his old man will find out that it is my grandson and help him maintain his posthumous name, what do you think he should think?"

Zhu Gaoxu had a smug smile on his face, looking particularly bright.

While he was triumphant, someone came with two pheasants.

No need to ask, it must be Zhu Gaochi.

"What do you say? So happy? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "We are discussing, who is Grandpa's favorite grandson?" ”

Zhu Gaochi immediately said: "Then you don't need to say it!" Naturally, it's me, and my cousin is too young to know yet. Back then, so many emperors and grandsons were together, and the emperor's grandfather hugged me, and everyone else stood aside...... In fact, not only the imperial grandfather, but also the uncle also likes me. I've been likable since I was a child, unlike my second child, who hates dogs. ”

Zhu Gaoxu snorted, "Boss, what kind of good boy are you pretending?" Grandfather Huang loves you so much, what did you do? Are you worthy of the preference? ”

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and said unceremoniously: "What do you care about me?" One day, I will carry forward the foundation of the emperor's grandfather. ”

The implication, second brother, you are not the prince, so don't think nonsense.

Zhu Gaoxu said contemptuously: "I don't need to wait for one day, I will pay for the construction of the temple now." Commemorating the exploits of the imperial grandfather. ”

"Temples? What temple? Is it a temple? ”

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, he didn't bother to say anything at all, after all, he didn't know the detailed planning.

Xu Jingchang said simply: "It's my plan, I plan to build a big temple in Beiping to commemorate the restoration of Yanyun, the unification of Kyushu, and the rejuvenation of China...... Including my grandfather, the exploits of his old man must be vigorously publicized and known to the world. ”

Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath, "Your grandfather, that's also my grandfather!" Count me in on this! ”

"What's good? Count me in! "Zhu Laosan also came from outside, he was originally rubbing rice, and he ran over happily.

As a result, when he heard that he was going to pay money, Zhu Gaosui's face darkened.

Zhu Gaoxu snorted: "If you are reluctant to pay, just get out of here, there are not many of you, not too many of you." You're the chicken! ”

"Phew!"

Zhu Gaosui snorted coldly: "Second brother, you underestimate me too much...... I will now offer a reward of 10,000 taels of gold and invite all scholars from all over the world to write articles and praise Emperor Taizu's merits. All the articles are published in the newspaper, and then the best of the best is selected, who is the best, and get the money immediately! ”

Xu Jingchang was also shocked by Zhu Gaosui's idea, "You have a good idea!" ”

Zhu Gaosui said: "That's! See if any of you dare to use me as an ornament! ”

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu said: "If you let the third child toss like this, I'm afraid that the movement will not be small, just a few of us, I'm afraid it's not enough." ”

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "Then find a few more people, it's a big deal to bring my father in." ”

The more they discussed, the more they felt that it was worth the effort.

Soon the news spread, and almost everyone who heard it was excited.

The first to come was Li Jinglong, who shouted: "Back then, my father was also a general of the Northern Expedition, and he made many military exploits, no matter what, I can't miss this matter." ”

Xu Jingchang smiled: "Can you contribute money, or can you contribute?" How do I remember that your family property was given to King Zhou to publish a book! ”

Li Jinglong snorted: "Look at what you said, you can't do things without money?" I'm going to move bricks! ”

As he spoke, three more people came to the door.

These three are very old, they are Sheng Yong, Ping'an, and one other, it is Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing!

Li Jinglong saw Geng Bingwen, and hurriedly came over to help, respectful, and even a little guilty...... That's right, it was he who replaced Geng Bingwen at the beginning, and the old general has not been out of the house since then, and he does not ask about the world.

No one could have imagined that he would come for this matter.

"Dingguo Gong, if you want to build a temple, you must be indispensable to the statue of the god, I don't know anything else, the old friends of the year still remember, this age, I can watch them enjoy the incense in the world, and I will die without regrets."
