Zhu Bai explained a few words to Fugui, and Fugui hurriedly went back to the palace.

Then Zhu Bai went to the imperial study.

Outside the imperial study, there was a large number of people kneeling in the dark, and there were even more people than when they opposed the division that day.

Those ministers wept and grabbed the ground.

"Your Majesty, you must be the master of your ministers. The minister's pocket money for a year was deceived by the king of Xiang. ”

"Your Majesty, the courtiers are poor, and they have finally saved a little bit of their old money and have been taken away by the King of Xiang, which is really unsustainable."

Zeng Bingzheng cried a handful of snot and tears.

Liu Bowen didn't cry, just stood with his head down.

Li Shanchang wiped his tears for a long time, purely to make up the numbers.

Zhu Bai laughed: Yo, it's quite lively. That's what I want.

Lao Zhu's inquiring voice faintly came from the imperial study: "Is that bastard boy back?" ”

Erhu, who was standing at the door, saw Zhu Bai from a distance, and hurriedly turned his head and replied: "It's coming, it's coming, the king of Xiang is here." ”

Lao Zhu said: "Catch him in and don't let him escape." ”

Zhu Bai raised his hand and replied loudly: "Father, don't arrest it, the son is here." ”

As soon as the ministers heard that Zhu Bai was back, they all stopped crying and looked back at Zhu Bai.

Zhu Bai smiled and raised his hand to greet them: "Hello adults." Hello masters. It's all coming. ”

The adults all showed angry expressions.

Zhu Bai swaggered into the imperial study.

Lao Zhu was so angry that his face was green.

Zhu Biao quietly gestured to Zhu Bai and told him to kneel.

Zhu Baidang didn't see it.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Rebel, do you know your mistake? ”

Zhu Bai looked dazed: "What didn't Erchen do?" ”

Lao Zhu slapped the table hard.

"Bang!"

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table jumped together in response.

Lao Zhu gritted his teeth and said: "You are so bold, even the first official of the imperial court dares to deceive." ”

Zhu Bai said: "Erchen is a little confused, what did Erchen deceive them? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he beckoned outside: "Call Zeng Bingzheng and Liu Bowen to come in." ”

Why did you call Zeng Bingzheng in?

Because Zeng Bingzheng cried the most.

Why did you call Liu Bowen in?

Because Liu Bowen is Zhu Bai's teacher.

Call both of them in, so that Zhu Bai will say that they have wronged him.

Zeng Bingzheng came in to salute, and said: "King Xiang said that he would build a low-rent apartment for Weichen in those one hundred and one acres. Only fifteen taels of silver a year. The minister believed it and made up his mind. As a result, I learned today that the king of Xiang had no intention of building it at all, nor did he tell the emperor. ”

Building a house on the farmland without greeting Lao Zhu is definitely not good.

Zhu Bai didn't tell Zhu Yuanzhang for so many days, and it was clear that he didn't plan to build a house.

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said, "Rebel." What else do you have to say. Do you know that in the "Da Ming Law", it is a felony not to cultivate wasteland. ”

Zhu Bai tilted his head and asked Liu Bowen: "Master, is it a felony not to plough the wasteland?" ”

Lao Zhu suddenly woke up: Yes. This kid told so many ministers about it, but no one reminded Zhu Bai that he had violated the "Da Ming Law".

A rich man like Li Shanchang, where does he need to come here for a dozen taels of silver?

What are these old bastards pondering in their hearts?

Are we going to deal with our favorite son together?

Sure enough, we can't let them know that we spoil Zhu Bai.

Liu Bowen sighed: "Didn't His Royal Highness say that he wanted to come to ask the emperor for permission?" ”

Zhu Bai scolded in his heart: Old god stick, I clearly said at that time that I wouldn't tell Lao Zhu about it.

Try your heart in one sentence.

When it comes to the critical moment, you really don't hesitate to abandon me.

Zhu Bai spread his hands: "I'm afraid the adults heard it wrong." The king did not intend to build a house on those hundred and one acres of land. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen were stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang plucked his ears: "What? You repeat. ”

The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes.

The last time Zhu Bai was so blatantly defrauding money was to set up a "food bank".

What is he doing this time for?

Zhu Bai sighed: "What Erchen told the adults at that time was that because the housing prices in the capital were too expensive, many adults did not have a high salary. If you don't solve this problem, you are forcing you to be corrupt. Therefore, the ministers wanted to take advantage of this survey of private houses, choose some ownerless houses, slightly repair and renovate the layout, and rent them to the adults cheaply as the benefits of the imperial court. Adults invest some money first, and when the house is repaired, you can move in first. Now that the survey of the house has not been done, why are the adults in a hurry? ”

Liu Bowen gasped: Good strategy, good means. The ministers of the government and the opposition, including Zhu Yuanzhang, are his tools.

Zhu Yuanzhang exchanged glances with Zhu Biao in surprise: This method is okay!!

Zeng Bing fell into his own emotional whirlpool and couldn't get out, he didn't listen to what Zhu Bai was saying at this time, he just cared about chattering: "Poor Weichen, it took a year to save enough for a dozen taels of silver, and I am reluctant to eat meat on weekdays." ”

Fugui just returned.

Zhu Bai beckoned to him and took the notebook he brought: "Come on, come on, adults will see for themselves." What did the king remember at that time? ”

The book reads: low-rent apartment shareholding fundraising.

Zhu Bai shook his head and sighed: "If you adults can't wait, then the king will return the silver to you first." Anyway, there are a lot of people in the city who want to rent a house. For example, those who live in shacks in the West Side. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thoughtfully: "That's right." It is also possible to rent houses to poor people cheaply in the name of the imperial court. You can also find a larger yard to raise orphans. ”

Zhu Biao: "That's very good. Anyway, the confiscated houses are also free, and they can be used as long as they are slightly repaired. In fact, the imperial court doesn't have to spend too much. ”

Liu Bowen hurriedly handed over his hand: "Prince Shengming." The emperor's grace is immense. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a 'shop house', and I should also set up a special yamen in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Lao Zhu secretly sneered: Obviously, it was Zhu Bai who reminded us, but you can't wait to settle on Zhu Biao.

Although we also want to praise Zhu Biao, you are also bullying our little son too much.

Zhu Bai's purpose was achieved, and he didn't plan to talk anymore at this time, and went to play with his things quietly on the side.

Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Bai: So many times. This kid is planning to calculate and compete for merit at all, but his mind is broader than Zhu Biao.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Erhu to call Li Shanchang and Ru Taisu in.

When Li Shanchang heard about this, he was also excited: Isn't this just a cash cow? At that time, the imperial court set a price of four coins of silver for a month, and if I collect six coins, I will have a net profit of two coins of silver.

Hurriedly knelt down and said: "The emperor really loves the people like a son, and it is the blessing of the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

The atmosphere is here, and it's not good for others not to kneel, so they simply kneel: "The emperor loves the people like a son, which is the blessing of the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Lao Zhu was slapped all over by this sycophant and laughed: "Hahaha." Flat. This is indeed a great thing. ”

He was most afraid to hear that his people were not well fed, clothed, and had no tiles to cover themselves.

It doesn't cost much money at this time, and it can also provide a place for the poor to live, which is really the best of both worlds.
