Zhu Yuanzhang announced that from now on, he and the crown prince and concubines will be the eunuchs in charge of the palace and recorded in detail.

Every time Zhu Biao hugged Lu Lian'er and wanted to do something, a eunuch would come out, holding a notebook and a pen and waiting on the side.

He was suddenly in no interest, and slept honestly and pulled down.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the eunuch in charge to take a look at the record book that day, Zhu Biao didn't visit anyone for several days, and called Zhu Biao to ask: "But the woman I gave to the emperor is not to your liking?" Don't you like Lu's a lot? ”

Zhu Biao replied in a sullen voice: "Erchen likes Lu Lian'er, but someone is standing aside and watching, and he really can't be interested." ”

Even if it's a disabled eunuch, you can't look at it!

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment.

Some people are really unhappy when they hear the corner of the wall, and Zhu Biao is young and thin-skinned.

It's not as good as him, in the horse pen back then, behind the bushes, and under the counter, he can do it.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and called the eunuch in charge and said, "Then let's do it." Don't listen to the corner, it will be recorded afterwards by the female history of Shang Yusi, and I and the prince can sign and confirm it. If it is in a hurry, there is a token, and the supplement is also counted. Since it's a book that I handpicked and recorded, it's called "The Book of Records". ”

When Zhu Bai heard this, he said, "This is not good. Lu Lian'er has another chance.

But since that day he was taken from the tree and sent back to the dormitory, he could not come out at night.

And always use this method, so that Zhu Biao really hates him, the gains outweigh the losses.

He racked his brains so hard that he didn't even notice the loud quarrel in the court today.

It turned out that the Heavenly Supervisor had calculated the auspicious day of the good day, saying that May 15 next year would be the auspicious time of the good day.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang Dayue said that he would do a good job for Zhu Di and let the household prepare 500,000 taels of silver.

The civil and military officials had a heated discussion.

Li Shanchang said: "500,000 taels is too little, how can it be the marriage between His Royal Highness King Yan and Lord Xu's daughter, at least one million taels of silver." ”

Last time, he persuaded Xu Da to withdraw from the marriage, I don't know if Xu Da was jealous of him. Anyway, to do a marriage, and he doesn't spend his money, he has a big mouth, and he has a grand wedding, Lao Zhu is happy, Zhu Di is happy, and Xu Da is also happy. Why wouldn't he do it?

Doctor Yu Shi said: "The world is decided, and you can't be so extravagant and wasteful. 500,000 is enough. ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu said: "King Yan's bedroom needs to be repaired, and 500,000 taels is definitely not enough." ”

Another imperial doctor said, "Then add another 50,000 taels." Couldn't be more. ”

In this way, you went back and forth, and in the end, in a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere, the two sides set a total of 600,000 taels.

Zhu Yuanzhang is still quite satisfied, and the number is more than he expected.

Then Lao Zhu said to Hubu Shangshu Ru Taisu: "In this way, Hubu will go and prepare." ”

As a result, Ru Taisu came out of the queue, spread his hands and said, "No money." ”

Then the court fell into a deathly silence.

Zhu Bai was originally wandering in the world, but he was successfully pulled back to his thoughts by this seemingly absurd but very realistic sentence.

Grass, the dignified Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can't even take out a mere 600,000 taels of silver?!

Are you kidding me?!

With great interest, he looked back at Tobe Shangshu, the short, fat, middle-aged man who looked a bit like a robot cat.

After thinking about it carefully, I don't really blame the head of the household.

Lao Zhu was born in poverty, paid taxes lightly, and emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, so the taxes collected were all in kind.

Therefore, there are piles of grain, mulberry and linen in the treasury, but there is not much silver.

As for the silver that is available now, Lao Zhu has copied it from the homes of corrupt officials in the past few years, and he still has to keep it for daily use in the palace and give it to the officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself naturally knew, and snorted coldly: "Didn't I raise you just to let you share your worries for me?" Isn't there also this year's tax forfeiture? Besides, there are still a few months left, and the household department hurriedly exchanged the things from the treasury for silver! ”

Ru Taisu shook his head: "The minister is incompetent." ”

Just kidding, even if this year's tax is paid, it is in kind, and there is no cash.

Two stones of rice are exchanged for one tael of silver. 600,000 taels of silver will be sold for 1.2 million stone rice, where can you find such a big family at once?!

Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists, he didn't expect that the household department would refuse so simply.

In fact, he wanted to kill again, but he also knew that it was useless to kill. Besides, killing people for Zhu Di's marriage is not good for Zhu Di.

He looked at Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang lowered his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen again.

Liu Bowen also frowned and said nothing: The shortage of silver in the treasury is not a matter of one or two days. Lao Zhu's exemption from taxes here and taxes there is also to allow the people to recuperate, which is a good thing for both the country and the people. Nor can taxes be increased suddenly.

If you don't increase taxes, where will you go to raise so much money for a while?!

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't plan to ask Zhu Bai.

The Manchu Dynasty was useless in civil and military affairs, but to ask a seven-year-old child was really too hurtful to Daming's face and made him angry.

Zhu Bai didn't plan to come up with an idea, so he looked around with his hands.

He has several principles in life, one of which is that he does not mix anything that has anything to do with money.

-----

After the court was dispersed, Lao Zhu was still very depressed, did not speak, and returned to the imperial study from Fengtian Hall with his hands behind his back.

From a distance, I saw Queen Ma bring a few palace people over with freshly woven cloth.

Even after becoming the queen, Queen Ma is still very thrifty, often weaving cloth with palace people, and is self-sufficient.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Queen Ma's face was slightly better.

Queen Ma asked, "What is the emperor's trouble?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and told the matter again.

Queen Ma smiled: "What's so difficult about this." There are countless gold and silver jewelry in the palace, so I took it to exchange for silver and helped the fourth child get married. Wait for the household department to slowly exchange the grain from the treasury into silver, and then take the jewelry back and return it to the palace people. ”

In fact, Zhu Bai also thought of this method, but he felt that it was too yin.

In Lao Zhu's eyes, everything in the world is his, let alone in this harem.

If only someone reminded him, he would definitely do it.

And anyone who comes up with this idea will be scolded to death by the people of the harem, but it doesn't matter if Queen Ma, the head of the harem, says it out of her mouth.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded again and again: "This is good, this is good." ”

The jewelry that Lao Zhu and Queen Ma gave to the princes and concubines is recorded.

Moreover, there are clear regulations in the palace that the palace-made jewelry cannot be taken out of the palace, and the rewards are rewarded and rewarded, and in the end, the left hand is handed over to the right hand, and the palace has been going around in circles.

Now just take it back according to the record and release it back according to the record.

Queen Ma has already instructed the palace people to send a decree to various palaces, saying that the deadline is three days to collect.

Zhu Bai felt that it didn't matter, the gold and silver in his palace were all collected. Besides, he basically can't get out of the palace now, and he has no chance to spend money at all.

But out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of panic flashing on Zhu Biao's face, and he was immediately attracted to attention, and looked sideways at Zhu Biao with interest.

Zhu Biao noticed that Zhu Bai was looking at him, clenching his fists, lowering his eyes, and no longer saw anything unusual on his face.
