You're an old slippery head who wants benefits but doesn't want to give.

Zhu Bai scolded in his heart and sighed: "This snow-white rice paper costs five taels, but the king's pen and ink are only worth five taels.......

Li Shanchang had a painful expression on his face: What rice paper costs five taels a piece, it's really unheard of! Isn't this bamboo as a drum - knocking on a bamboo pole?

But in front of Lao Zhu, he couldn't say anything about the dog crawling words of King Xiang, let alone five taels of silver, and it would take up space for him to give it to him for nothing.

Zhu Bai snorted: "Forget it, if you don't buy it, someone else will buy it, and more people want this fat difference." ”

Li Shanchang quickly calculated in his heart: King Xiang is gaining momentum, and he can enter and leave the imperial study of the court at will.

The generals all value him.

Forget it, twenty taels are happy to buy this little prince.

A dead horse is a live horse doctor.

Li Shanchang took out all the silver on his body, and it was zero, four or five large and small: "The minister brought so much." ”

Zhu Bai couldn't estimate how many there were, anyway, he would accept it when he saw it.

He nodded: "Wait for me to write to Master Li." ”

After half a pillar of incense, Li Shanchang took the pair of words and left.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been watching in silence, asked Zhu Bai: "No matter what you promise him, I will not agree." ”

Zhu Bai squeezed his eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Don't worry, there is nothing I can't do." What kind of money my father promised me? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang blew his beard and glared: "You little rabbit cub, eat me and wear me." I have to collect money to help me do something. Hurry up and go to Liu Fuzi's class. ”

Zhu Bai sighed: "I know." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You are not allowed to do anything more about selling words. You're not ashamed, I'm ashamed. ”

-----

Zhu Bai went to Liu Bowen and took out the silver: "Come, give it all to you, it's enough." ”

Liu Bowen picked up a medium-sized piece and checked it: "This piece is enough for five taels." ”

"Okay."

Zhu Bai nodded, swept the remaining silver into his hand again, put it away, and asked Liu Bowen: "Are you still studying today?" ”

Liu Bowen helped him to sit down on the seat, and then solemnly saluted him.

Zhu Bai stood up in fright: "What are you going to do?" There is something to talk about. Don't salute. ”

He didn't know anything else, so he knew that he couldn't accept the elders' salutes casually, otherwise it would be easy to lose his life.

Liu Bowen said: "When Weichen was not in the court, he also asked the king of Xiang to work with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to dissuade the emperor from killing. ”

Zhu Baihutan realized that in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed so quickly because he could transfer Liu Bowen out of the court.

Without Liu Bowen, no one would take the lead in arguing about the separation.

He wrinkled his eyebrows and thought for a moment, feeling that he was a little careless.

However, the most urgent thing now is disaster relief, even if he knows Zhu Yuanzhang's calculations, he can only continue.

And in fact, in this matter, he has the same needs as Lao Zhu: transfer this annoying old god stick away, and everything else is easy to say!!

Zhu Bai muttered: "I have to persuade me to do this." How old I am, and the Master thinks too highly of me. ”

Liu Bowen twisted his beard and smiled: "King Xiang, don't be presumptuous, now you can persuade the emperor, except for the queen, there are only the crown prince and His Royal Highness the King of Xiang." ”

Zhu Bai coughed uncomfortably and replied vaguely, "Got it." ”

has been a dick and "who" for more than 20 years, and suddenly became an important person, which made him very unaccustomed.

Liu Bowen said: "The emperor has been simple all his life, but the king of Xiang is equipped with a warm car and fat horse, which shows that the emperor is different from the princes of Xiang. ”

Zhu Bai tilted his head and thought about it: It seems to be the same. When I came back, there were even a few more guards who followed me.

The last time I was almost robbed and eaten by the victims, it can be seen that Lao Zhu left a psychological shadow.

Zhu Bai said, "There is something I don't understand very well, so please ask the master to teach me." ”

Liu Bowen said: "Roar, it's rare to have something you want to ask." You said. ”

Zhu Bai said: "What is the most profitable business in the world? ”

Liu Bowen: "Salt tea, gold, silver, copper, iron ore." Therefore, the emperor has to hold the mining rights in his hands, and also prohibits private trafficking. ”

Really......

Same as I thought.

The things that make money are written in the "Da Ming Law".

Zhu Bai rubbed his hands secretly: Oh, then I only need to ask Lao Zhu to come over one of them, and I won't have to worry about it for the rest of my life.

Liu Bowen made him understand one thing: in the Ming Dynasty, power and money had nothing to do with it.

So he has to find a way to make money.

Otherwise, if you are so poor, what kind of free prince should you be?

-----

Although Liu Bowen didn't give Zhu Bai a lesson, he arranged a lot of things to carry for Zhu Bai.

Zhu Bai scolded and returned to the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang explained to the palace people, and Zhu Bai took him to the imperial study as soon as he came back.

Zhu Bai was a little tired, and when he entered the warm imperial study, he yawned more and more.

Zhu Yuanzhang talked a few idle words, probably talking about the detailed rules he had discussed with Liu Bowen and several ministers, and then asked: "What did Master Liu tell you?" ”

Zhu Bai suddenly sobered up: Tsk, it turns out that I am a double agent.

He blinked and said, "Master has asked me for money." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment: "What silver?" ”

Zhu Bai pointed to the word "grass" on the wall: "Big white rice paper, five taels of silver." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang began to feel pain: "I said that you kid, you usually look very clever, why are you confused, isn't he slandering you?" ”

Zhu Bai looked innocent: "He said he didn't have the money to travel." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment.

Liu Bowen is very incorruptible, he knows it.

But I didn't expect that the important ministers of the country could be poor like this.

Forget it, it's Li Shanchang's money anyway.

Zhu Bai had a bitter face: "If the adults are so poor, it will be troublesome to go out to work in the future." ”

Isn't this just forcing people to embezzle?

Lao Zhu's living expenses for the officials are too small.

The key is that sometimes the treasury does not have so much silver, and it is converted into cloth grain.

This makes it even worse for families who are not wealthy.

If officials want to survive, they have to think of other ways to make money.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and said: "Let's see how the situation is after the change to tax and silver this year, if it's okay, give them a little bit of a raise." ”

-----

Liu Bowen has already set off to run the "food bank".

There is also a great joy in the palace: the crown princess has been pregnant for several months.

If her birth was a son, then the matter of Lu giving birth to Zhu Biao's second son, Zhu Yunwen, would be broken.

For Zhu Bai, it is a double happiness.

But Zhu Bai didn't have time to be happy for two days, because the monk came.

Lao Zhu said that other monks will re-enter Beijing next spring, and Zong Xi is the first right good world, and he must start working immediately.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted Zong Xi to connect seamlessly with Liu Bowen and help him look at Zhu Bai.

Because of the cold weather, the princes' afternoon martial arts training also stopped.

Zhu Bai had to face the old monk for several hours every day, and he was really painful to death.

Zong Xi is kind and chubby, like a Maitreya Buddha, but in fact, he is more difficult than Liu Bowen.

Zong Xi: "Your Highness copy the Heart Sutra, and practice calligraphy by the way." ”

Zhu Bai: "Don't copy." I'm not a monk, why should I copy that? Die of boredom. ”

Zong Xi: "It's okay to copy all the sons and hundreds of schools." ”

Zhu Bai: "I'm not interested, I don't want to copy." ”

Zong Xi: "Then His Highness sits and listens to the old man's thoughts." ”

Zhu Bai: "Don't listen! I'm going out to catch sparrows. ”

Zong Xi: "Ah. Your Highness, do not kill. Let the old man recite a 'Diamond Sutra' for a while. ”

Zhu Bai: "Don't force me to do it......"
