successfully pulled the conversation from poetry to Gewu, and also fooled Fang Xiaoru and Xu Yungong by the way, Zhu Su felt quite proud. After taking a hot bath, he left Zhuangzi. On the mountainside behind Zhuangzi, there is a kiln heavily guarded. Zhu Su's first priority now was to train steel that could make high-quality firecrackers, and to fire cement that could quickly build cities.

When it comes to forging steel, Zhu Su has in his mind a manual of earth-based steelmaking that he has read in his previous life. In a certain period of time in later generations, there was a vigorous steel-making boom on the land of China, and villages built blast furnaces to engage in large-scale steelmaking. Although it is said that the scrap rate is also high, it is more than in the early Ming Dynasty, and such a steelmaking furnace is already in full use.

Although some details are still being tested. But Zhu Su believes that in time, these furnaces will be able to produce far more steel than they are today.

Cement also needs to be explored. Zhu Su only knew the general formula, but now the cement that was tested is still unusable, and it will crumble when he holds it. It also takes time.

"Your Highness. There's something to discuss with you." Xiang Deng leaned over. When Zhu Su asked, he realized that there was no money on the Huangzhuang account.

"Didn't the palace allocate enough money for half a year? It's not been a month now, and it's been spent?" Zhu Su was a little dumbfounded. There are no talents in Huangzhuang now, and the steward is temporarily served by Xiangdeng. It's hard not to wonder if this eunuch saw the money and opened his eyes.

"Temple...... Your Highness! Even if the old slave has 10,000 guts, he won't dare to stretch out his hand on your head!" Xiang Deng knelt directly to Zhu Su. "It's really just going in and out these days, and the unexpected expenses are too great......

As he spoke, he began to complain of bitterness. First, many of Wu Wangwei's families were settled, which cost a lot of money. Then there are lime, iron ore, coal and other raw materials, all of which are purchased from all over the country by river transportation, and the cost is not small.

Later, Zhu Su rebuilt the mansion by himself, and also spent a lot of money, such as building fire walls, building waterways, erecting water towers, and so on.

"Then this Zhuangzi originally had land, so he didn't have any income?" Zhu Su couldn't believe that such a large land would make a lot of money if he did anything in the future generations.

As a result, he was on his hand, and he was going to be unable to make ends meet in just one month?

"The real estate in Zhuangzi is somewhat productive. It's just that before, these farms were all donated to Bifeng Temple as real estate."

"The tax grain produced was also handed over to the great monks in the temple in advance before it was transferred to the imperial village. It's not time for the next quarter to collect taxes......

"Why don't you ask them to pay their taxes in advance, Your Highness?" Xiang Deng suggested.

「…… You stand down first." Kill the golden goose? He wasn't stupid enough to do such a thing.

Xiang Deng didn't dare to say more, so he retreated. Zhu Su sat in the room and thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt panicked.

The fields here were the property of the temple in the former Yuan period. After Lao Zhu established the Ming Dynasty, he cut the fields here from the Bifeng Temple and distributed them to the peasants.

But it's only been a few years since the Ming Dynasty was established? What means did the bald donkeys of these temples use to swallow these lands in their mouths?

In the fifth year of Hongwu, there was already such a land annex on the outskirts of Yingtian City. And what about Gangnam? What about other places?

"Come on! Prepare a guard of honor!" Zhu Su said loudly.

….

This group of bald donkeys, the wool is on my Zhu Su's head? Do you dare to deceive me that I am young and ignorant?

When I came to this Bifeng Mountain, I haven't gone to Bifeng Temple to meet the neighbors on these mountains for a while. Now, it's time to go and hang out with the neighbors!

The guard of honor of the vassal king was quickly prepared. Since Zhu Su became king, this is the first time that he has used the honor guard of this vassal king. If you don't say anything, people want clothes, Zhu Suping's appearance of being a hanger put on this vassal king's robe, and he immediately became solemn and solemn.

Wu Wangwei, who had been trained for half a month in two rows, wore helmets and armor, although they were only teenagers, they were neatly lined up, as if they were one person. There was a murderous aura between Gu Pan, and he couldn't see that these people were just rookie eggs.

"Fifth Uncle, is this going to smash the field of Bifeng Temple?" Li Jinglong was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he put on the moon-white robe of the bag. It's just that my face has tanned a lot in the past few days, but I can't get up. Compared to Brother Gongzi, he is more like an obscene dog head

Military Division.

"What is smashing the field, we haven't visited our neighbors for so long, and today I think of naturally saying hello to our good neighbors. If I want to say hello, wouldn't it be rude for me not to put up a guard of honor?" Zhu Su smiled, and his eyes showed a wicked demeanor.

When Li Jinglong saw it, he was even more excited, and decisively asked to accompany him. He couldn't believe what Zhu Su said when he visited his neighbors. These days, he already knows that his fifth uncle is a lawless master who is accustomed to pleasure. is even more victorious than him Li Jinglong. Even the Gong bucket used for Gong had to be made of white porcelain, and it had to be placed in the house, and something that could be flushed was specially made. What is it called a toilet? Such a gentlemanly style that knows how to enjoy has long made Li Jinglong admire, and such a person will politely visit those bald donkeys?

Be determined to keep up! The two evil young men took a large group of Wu Wang guards, and they slaughtered towards the Bifeng Temple on the mountain. The abbot of the temple heard that the soldiers sent by the Huangzhuang under the mountain, and he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, so he brought the monks in the room to greet him from afar. "I don't know that His Royal Highness King Wu is coming, and the small temple has missed the welcome, and he is begging for forgiveness!"

"Koji? Master, I look at your temple, it's not small." Li Jinglong is worthy of being a ghostly figure in Ying Tianfu, and such an ordinary sentence can also find fault with him. He looked at the majestic mountain temple, his mouth was amazed, and his face was full of mockery.

"Great monk, to maintain such a big temple, you need a lot of incense money, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the fat abbot was so frightened that he knelt on the spot. It's not that he hasn't seen a nobleman, but he really saw a nobleman who came to the temple with a large soldier and didn't care about his face and threatened him. Isn't it the next day today? Why is this nobleman of the Ming Dynasty more barbaric than the nobleman of the Mengyuan court?

Zhu Su didn't speak, and led the guards past the abbot and rushed to the temple. A monk can grow so fat with a big head and big ears just by eating fast and reciting Buddha, if he wants to say that he is not so rich that he beats Zhu Su to death, he doesn't believe it. Awesome wow! The Ming Dynasty was established only a few years before such a Buddhist temple was produced. This Bifeng Temple doesn't seem to be ranked in Yingtian?

The primitive accumulation of capital is all bloody. Looting these fat-headed and big-eared monks? Seems like a good idea.

….

The monks of Bifeng Temple are in a tremble. They found that His Royal Highness King Wu, who was young and short, looked at them like a lamb to the slaughter. Buddha, isn't it a disaster from heaven? Meng Ming survived the Ding Revolution, but he didn't expect that now the peaceful and prosperous world is going to die here?

Zhu Su looked around at this temple, walked to the front of the Mahavira Hall in the middle, and saw that the Buddha Buddha was solemn and shining with golden light, and his heart was even more annoyed. I didn't bother to deal with this group of people anymore, and turned my head to look at the fat abbot, "This king gives you a chance to breathe, think clearly."

"The rent paid in advance by you and others in those farms of the king of the mountain, totaling a certain amount of geometry, whether it is given or retained."

"If you want to give it, the king will give this Buddha a stick of incense. You can stay if you want. This king has his own warriors, and he can take it for himself."

"It is also okay to deceive the king. In a Buddhist temple, the king is still young, and if he misses and burns it, his father will probably only blame him slightly......

This straightforward threat frightened the fat abbot into trembling, and he didn't call himself a little monk anymore, so he immediately took a few steps on his knees, and kowtowed to Zhu Su:

"Lord Rong! O prince! The villain ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to swallow the prince's maid rent first?"

"There are really people who bewitch the little monk! A thousand mistakes, only that person! The prince spares his life! The prince spares his life!"

In an instant, in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, he knelt down. These monks who are solemn and solemn on weekdays, without the demeanor of a monk, are no different from the villains in the market who see the wind and steer the rudder.

"Who is it?" Zhu Su asked coldly. From the gossip of the monks, Zhu Su already knew that this plan was made by a wandering monk who lived here. Since there are such evil monks, Zhu Su does not recommend that he be used to kill chickens and monkeys to clean up the temple for his neighbors.

"Hehe, what His Royal Highness King Wu is looking for is a little monk? This plan is exactly what the little monk came up with, and His Royal Highness wants to kill or chop, so he can come to the little monk. Why frighten the laity?" A voice came from behind the hall. Different from the panic of the group of monks at this time, this voice is calm and neutral,

It's quite zen. The magnetic voice seems to have a natural ability to bewitch people.

Zhu Su turned his head, and saw a monk in a black robe, who came out from behind the treasure hall like a leisurely stroll, and made a Buddhist salute to Zhu Su with his hands folded.

Sorry, I have some personal matters today. There are a few fewer updates. I'll do more tomorrow!
