"By the way, Your Highness, there were many unknown people in our mansion last night!"

"Don't worry about it, it must have been sent to protect my eldest nephew!"

Zhu Jun waved his hand, this kind of thing, he could think of it with his toes: "Our actions have not been discovered, right?" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, everything is done in secret."

"That's good!"

Zhu Jun nodded, and then changed his words, "Did anyone send silver over yesterday?" ”

"Nope!" Li Jiba shook his head.

"Okay, got it!"

Zhu Jun nodded, and left the house from the back door with the two little guys.

At this time, Hu Guoyong and Liu Ji came to Fengtian Temple.

"Minister, knock to your majesty!"

After the two of them saw each other, Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at the two of them with some surprise, "Why did you two get together?" ”

"Uncle Chengyi, you still say it first!" Hu Guoyong gave way.

"The old man is not in a hurry, let's say it first!" Liu Ji said with a smile.

Hundreds of years ago, he was the prime minister, and more than a hundred years ago, he was the deputy prime minister with real power.

Daye has reduced the authority of this position, but this is a real second-grade official.

There are also the left and right sides of the two products, and then the top is the left and right phases.

Hu Guoyong is undoubtedly the closest person to that position.

"I can't afford to be called a sincere uncle!" Where did Hu Guoyong dare to respond, since Meng Yuan, it has become more and more common to call officials adults, and Daye has gradually followed this habit.

The term 'adult' is not limited to parents and elders.

It's just that Liu Ji is the leader of Zhedong Group, and he can wrestle with Li Shanren.

"Alright, you two don't go sour." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sincerity, you say it first!" ”

Liu Ji hurriedly said: "The minister came this time to intercede for one person!" ”

"Who?"

"The richest man in Yingtian, Shen Wanqian!" Liu Jidao.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze, "Do you know why we insist on killing him?" ”

"I've heard of it!" Liu Ji arched his hand and said: "Because Shen Wanqian is rich and unkind, he helped His Majesty build the city wall, and because Shen Wanqian likes to drill camps, he intends to reward the three armies on behalf of the sky!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a cold face: "Are you mocking us?" ”

"Don't dare!" Liu Ji said again: "Your Majesty is the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, the future co-lord of the world, and the majesty and sacredness cannot be violated.

It's just that Wechen has been tossing and turning these days, unable to figure it out, let alone understand.

His Majesty has the ambition of being the co-ruler of the world, but he can't tolerate a businessman.

If a businessman can endanger the world, then think that our great cause is a piece of paper that can be broken at the first poke, and in the future, I am afraid that others will blow the sky! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was pierced by this soft knife, was a little uncomfortable, "Let's say it, I'd rather kill by mistake than let it go!" ”

"Yes, the minister can understand the heart of His Majesty's beloved son, and he also understands to take precautions and strangle danger in the cradle.

But Shen Wanqian was arrested, and the caravan of Daye has been reduced by more than thirty percent, and you must know that the capital is now starving.

The materials are in short supply, and at this time, the materials will be sent to Yingtian, and it will inevitably make a lot of money.

But it is the profiteers who see the money in His Majesty's mouth, but they don't pick up the silver on the ground, and they shrink at home and don't dare to go out! Liu Ji smacked his tongue and said: "The ministers think that these 'profiteers' are good!"

However, these days, the minister went out to buy materials, compared with before, the price has risen by more than three percent, and if it goes on like this, the minister's fortune is afraid that he can't afford to support a family! ”

Hu Guoyong on the side was also impressed in his heart, worthy of Liu Chengyi, really powerful.

This kind of persuasion method, he might as well too!

No wonder after defeating Wang Guangyang, Li Shanren wanted to regard Liu Ji as a thorn in his side.

This is a confrontation between the Huaixi Group and the Zhedong Group.

And the reason why Liu Ji wanted to save Shen Wanqian is simpler, Shen Wanqian is a native of Zhejiang.

Hu Guoyong, as a member of the Huaixi Group, if he wants to stand out among the two factions, he must rely on the Zhedong Group.

He could feel the emperor's concern for the Huaixi group.

The power is so great that this one is starting to worry.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank, "Could it be that a Shen Wanqian can still decide the life and death of the great cause?" ”

"One Shen Wanqian can't, but ten, a hundred can!" Liu Ji said: "Shen Wanqian helped the imperial court build the city wall, this is a great act of kindness.

If His Majesty kills him on trumped-up charges, the minister can be sure that even if His Majesty promises others to become imperial merchants, no one will dare to come.

Silver is easy to earn, but there is only one life.

Ants are still stealing life, who doesn't spare their lives?

Although Shen Wanqian is a businessman, he is the leader among businessmen.

The leaders are gone, those little lambs have lost their way, and no one knows if they will go to Chen Han or Da Zhou! ”

Liu Ji's last sentence made Zhu Yuanzhang speechless.

Indeed, he did not know anything in the palace.

After Shen Wanqian was arrested, the caravan that came to the capital was not only thirty percent less, but I am afraid that more than half of them were gone.

No one dared to come, and those who dared to come sat on the ground and raised prices, causing prices to skyrocket.

The people have been crying bitterly.

This chain reaction was something he didn't expect.

It's just that Liu Ji said two words, and let people go, he didn't want to lose face?

"Okay, this matter is not as simple as you think, Shen Wanqian colluded with Cai Wen, deceived the superiors and subordinates, and we will deal with it properly!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Liu Ji understood that this was Zhu Yuanzhang asking for steps again, and immediately said: "Your Majesty is the Holy Son of Heaven, and the minister has nothing to worry about." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, turned his head to look at Hu Guoyong, "It's your turn!" ”

Hu Guoyong stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the minister went back to Fengyang's hometown a few days ago, I thought it was a happy thing, but who knew that I encountered an annoying thing!" ”

"What's bothering?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"This matter has something to do with China." Hu Guoyong sighed, "Since the second year of Shenwu, it has been nearly seven years since the construction of Zhongdu.

It's a happy thing, but, it's ......."

"But what?" Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed.

"But this kind of good thing for the benefit of the country and the people is not a good thing for the local people." Hu Guoyong knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, take the time to go to Fengyang to have a look, those fellow villagers can't live anymore!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said eagerly: "What's wrong with our folks?" Say it quickly! ”

When he first chose the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to be in the capital of Mengyuan, but it was too close to Tatar.

The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is in Chang'an, which is also very close to the capital of Mengyuan.

As a result, the line of defense is too long and not conducive to management.

So I temporarily chose Yingtian.

But the brocade does not return to his hometown, just like the brocade clothes at night, he and those Huaixi generals are combined, and directly build the capital in Fengyang's hometown.

You must know that in order to build the central capital, Lao Zhu almost raised the strength of the whole country.

Hu Guoyong choked up and said: "The villagers can't live anymore, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I will force the anti-villagers!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils shrank, and he said angrily: "What did you say? ”
