Chapter 149: Light

Households.

Xia Yuanji is already busy flying, but now he is different from him years ago, and he is busy now.

Since the Han Wang's family went to Yunnan to take up the domain, Xia Yuanji looked at the top and bottom of the court, and everyone, including Zhu Di, seemed to have come to ask for money, but only Zhu Zhanyan was the fortune boy in his eyes.

"Natsuhara-yoshi!" Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, rushed into the door in a rage, slapped Xia Yuanji's table directly, and shouted at the top of his voice.

"What are you doing!? Why did you cut off the money from the Ministry of Works!? ”

"What's the noise!?" Xia Yuanji clasped his ears impatiently, and directly pulled Song Li's hand on the table aside.

"What do you think I'm doing? The prince of the Han Dynasty was conquering the Wa Kingdom, and His Majesty personally ordered that the supplies must be guaranteed, and there should be no accidents. ”

"I'm the head of the household, I naturally want to do this well, is it possible that I want to resist the decree and disrespect!?"

"What are you talking about!?" Song Li was about to go crazy.

"Yes! You are the head of the household! The imperial court is fighting against foreign enemies, and your household department guarantees that there is no problem with supplies, but what about the rest of the money? Why did you cut off the Ministry of Works!? ”

"Because there is not enough money!" Xia Yuanji retorted unceremoniously.

"At the end of last year, Zhejiang Hai overflowed, and the embankment was washed away for more than 130 miles from Haimen to Yancheng!"

"Don't you need money to rebuild the levee!? Don't you need money for disaster relief!? ”

"Take a break."

After speaking, Xia Yuanji picked up the big seal of the household, stamped a fold, and handed it to the left attendant of the household department on the side.

"Do it immediately, it will be loaded and set off in two days!"

"Yes!"

Song Li watched the left servant of the household department leave, and he was already mad in his heart, he even wanted to stop it directly and snatch the fold.

However, he did not dare.

Loaded and set off, it was either the food for disaster relief or the supplies sent to the Japanese country, if he dared to stop it, Xia Yuanji would immediately dare to let someone twist him in front of Zhu Di.

"What about the embankment of the Wei River? The embankments from Weihui to Zhigu are all low and thin, and His Majesty ordered me to repair them at the beginning of the year, but I made a guarantee to His Majesty that it would be completed in ten days! ”

"And now? It's been seven days, and I haven't seen a penny from the household except for the first one! How do you ask me to build a dam!? ”

"Then I can't take care of it!" Xia Yuanji unceremoniously slammed back.

"There is a priority in everything, the household department has a total of these silver, you say that I put aside the supplies for the prince of Han first? Or do you put disaster relief aside? ”

"The household department has silver, but do you dare to take it if I give it to you!?"

……

Song Li was angry, but he couldn't say a word.

Indeed, everyone knows that the household department has a sum of money at the bottom of the box, but that is the last family of the Ming Dynasty, without Zhu Di's nod, who dares to move?

Xia Yuanji is just talking hi, if this Song Li really says that he dares to take it, Xia Yuanji may not dare to give it, because once something happens, he Xia Yuanji is the one who takes responsibility.

However, they are all old colleagues, can Song Li know Xia Yuanji?

Xia Yuanji is the head of the household, nicknamed Xia Lao Li'er, and the first answer he gets whenever someone asks him for money is never there, but in fact it is not what he said. …

Just picking up can't reach the level of Xia Yuanji, if it's just picking, then Xia Yuanji is at most a piggy bank, not the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty.

The God of Wealth's ability is to make money, not to be a piggy bank.

This also means that Xia Yuanji will always have money in his hands, but he will not let go easily until the end.

"Humph! I'm going to play Your Majesty! Let you sell all those cows! Song Li left with a snort.

He knew very well that unless it was time for Xia Yuanji to think that he should give him money, Xia Yuanji would not let go easily, and that was when the Ministry of Industry really had no money.

Yes, the Ministry of Industry still has money, but it is not much, and it will be gone after purchasing a batch of wood, stone and other materials, so Song Li will come to the Ministry of Housing in person to ask for it.

I have to say that Xia Yuanji, the head of the household, is already comparable to Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei, but the difference is that Jinyiwei collects all kinds of information, while Xia Yuanji is only more concerned about finance.

Looking at the back of Song Li leaving, Xia Yuanji snorted coldly with disdain.

"With this ability, you still want to ask me for money in advance?"

After speaking, Xia Yuanji looked down at the official document on the table again.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xia Yuanji took out a fold, wrote rows of words on it, and then stamped it with the print of the household.

"Xia has served as the head of the household department for ten years, and he has never acted favoritism, this is the first time he has ......"

"Your Royal Highness, don't let Xia down......"

Yes, even Zhu Zhanyan didn't know that this Xia Yuanji, who was known as Xia Laojiao, would give it in advance if he didn't say anything about the money one day.

I don't know what Zhu Zhanyan thinks, but if the officials in the court know, I'm afraid they will have a different taste in their hearts.

At the same time, the Mandarin Palace.

Zhu Gaochi buried his head in the high pile of folds, even his fat body was blocked, and next to him was the current imperial grandson of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji.

"Ji Gang has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he has seen His Royal Highness the Grand Sun."

Ji Gang stood at the door of the Wenhua Palace, very obedient and saluted, and waited until Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth before he walked in.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the war report of the Japanese State sent by the North Korean side, Your Majesty ordered Weichen to send it, and ask you to copy a copy and send it to Yunnan in an expedited manner of 800 li."

"Whew......" Zhu Gaochi let out a long breath.

"Got it."

"That Weichen retreated." Ji Gang bowed down and slowly withdrew from the Wenhua Palace.

"Daddy......" watched Ji Gang leave, and Zhu Zhanji asked.

"Can the child take a look at it first?"

Zhu Gaochi glanced at his son and paused, but finally handed the secret letter to his son.

There was silence in the Mandarin Palace, and no one knew what was going on inside.

Since the end of the Chinese New Year this year, Ying Tianfu has been busy non-stop, from the officials to the people, no one has been idle, and today's busyness is more busy than before.

From the beginning of the Yongle Dynasty to the present, except for the last time when the emperor drove the imperial expedition, the grain in the treasury has never been consumed so quickly.

In the seventh year of Yongle, Qiguo Gongqiu Fu's northern expedition to the grassland, and Zhu Zhan's eastern expedition to the east were 100,000 people, but the household department did not let go of food so much.

However, although Zhu Zhanyan didn't know Xia Yuanji's mental journey and decisions, he still lived up to Xia Yuanji's expectations.

Toyozen, Toyo Capital City.

This time was different from in Zhanhai City, Zhu Zhanyan directly ordered to kill all the Japanese people in Fengdu City, and then gave an order to the soldiers.

"From now on, if I don't give a new order, then this order will continue, even if I leave, even if I die in battle."

Zhu Zhan Yan stood at the head of Fengdu City, looking at the 100,000 soldiers below.

"From now on, as long as you capture every city in the Wa Kingdom, there will be only one word: light!"

"What is light? The answer is to kill, burn, and rob! ”

"Kill all the enemies, take the enemy prisoner***, and cut off my supplies!"

"Burn all the city facilities, capture the enemy ***, and cut off my back road!"

"Grab all the food, gold and silver, and use it as supplies for our army!"
