Inside the palace of King Yan.

Zhu Gaochi reported to Zhu Di in detail the situation of those gentry after joining the Chamber of Commerce.

"Dad, teacher, those gentry, once they went to Goryeo, they all wanted to buy fields and real estate in Goryeo Yan Kingdom, and even wanted to migrate some family members to Goryeo Yan Kingdom!"

"Permit not more than twenty of them to be in each household!"

"Yes, Dad!"

"Dad, now, the Chamber of Commerce has been divided into two teams. Each team is ten days apart, and it happens to stagger back and forth to Pei Binh Mansion.

With the addition of these gentry, the goods used for trade and trade directly increased by 20%. ”

"Good!"

"In addition, Yan Shanwei on the big ship can also remove 1,200 people, and the children will leave them in Goryeo for the time being, I don't know where Dad is going to send them?"

"For the time being, I will serve as the patrol general of the Goryeo Yan Kingdom, and if you encounter someone who is not subordinate, you will directly ask for it!"

"Yes, Dad!"

……

It took half an hour for Zhu Gaochi to report the matter of the Chamber of Commerce to Zhu Di.

After listening, Zhu Di was very satisfied.

"In this matter, Chi'er did it well, there are no mistakes!"

"Thank you dad for the compliment!" Zhu Gaochi said with a happy face.

"In this way, these gentry have all joined our Chamber of Commerce, and their families have moved to the Goryeo Yan Kingdom, see how the Zhu Yunwen kid still comes to pry these gentry."

Zhu Di smiled coldly.

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi remembered something, hesitated, and still said: "Dad, I heard that because the sugar craftsmen in the south were brought to Beiping, Fujian and Jiangxi couldn't afford to build enough sugar workshops for a while, and the price of sugarcane over there plummeted.

Even, there are many businessmen who put all their net worth into sugarcane, and as a result, they lost all their money this time! ”

Zhu Di said coldly: "Hmph, a group of treacherous businessmen, they deserve it!" ”

On the side, Guo An said: "Of course, the loss is more than those gentry and big families!" ”

"Teacher, how can a big gentry lose?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned.

Guo An chuckled and said, "Shizi, apart from those gentry and big families, who else has rich fields to grow sugarcane?"

Moreover, how can a profitable cash crop like sugarcane be able to get those ordinary people? ”

"This ......"

Zhu Gaochi looked stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly.

Then.

Liang Hu walked in from outside and reported to Zhu Diyu.

"Your Royal Highness, after the price of sugarcane in Fujian, Jiangxi, and Guangdong was greatly reduced, the gentry and people in these places, and even the officials, all went to the court to impeach Huang Zicheng in the East Palace.

Some southern officials in Jingshi also impeached that Huang Zicheng! ”

"However, I heard that His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun tried his best to protect Huang Zicheng, so that Huang Zicheng was only fined for two years!"

"A few days later, the price of the whole south, even the sugar and cane sugar in Beijing, as well as the candied fruits made of cane sugar and sugar, all increased......

Even a day up.

I heard that the price of white sugar in Jingshi has risen to 20 taels of silver bills per catty......"

"Hiss......"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi took a cold breath directly.

"The price of sugar is so high?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but glared at Zhu Gaochi, "Isn't it good to be tall?" Don't worry, the price of sugar in our north has doubled at most.

As for the white sugar in the house, it is enough for your kid to eat for five years! ”

Zhu Gaochi was not annoyed, but just smiled and said: "Dad, the child is just worried about those people, if there is no sugar and sucrose to eat, how will they live?" ”

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly again, "This kind of national matter, it's not our turn to worry about the Yan King, what are you doing with the Yan Wang's son?"

Moreover, the white sugar and their respective sugar-made snacks are things that only those gentry and big families can afford, whether the price rises or not, what does it have to do with those poor people? ”

Zhu Gaochi: "......"

Zhu Di didn't continue to pay attention to Zhu Gaochi, but asked directly at Liang Hu, "How does the court deal with this situation?" ”

Liang Hu glanced at Zhu Di cautiously, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the court was still arguing a few days ago.

A few days later, though.

It seems that I heard that His Majesty was annoyed by the noise, and he was ready to follow the advice of those courtiers, and wanted to bring His Royal Highness to the sugar craftsmen in Beiping Mansion, and they all wanted to go back! ”

"What?"

Zhu Di's face suddenly became angry, "Those thief officials who are not good people, where do they want those sugar craftsmen, they are obviously greedy for the secret recipe of white sugar in our Yan Palace!" ”

Zhu Gaochi was also full of resentment, "Dad, you should play the emperor's grandfather, you can't be caught and bullied in a palace in Yanwangfu!" ”

"Don't play!"

Zhu Di subconsciously shook his head!

"Daddy......"

Zhu Gaochi was a little puzzled.

On the side, Guo An hurriedly said: "Don't worry, this matter needs to be done with caution!" ”

At this time, Zhu Gaochi calmed down and sat down.

"Alas, since the eldest brother left, there has not been a thief official in the court who looks at our Yan Wangfu pleasing to the eye!"

After a while, Zhu Di sighed helplessly, and ordered Liang Hu: "Explore again!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Liang Hu gave up and left.

Two days later.

An edict was sent directly to the Yan Palace.

“…… King Yan brought the sugar craftsmen from Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi back to their hometowns quickly! ”

When the angel in the court finished reading the edict, he cautiously looked at Zhu Di, the king of Yan, below.

And the entire Yanwang Mansion was silent, and everyone was full of resentment, it was too bullying!

Finally, the angel couldn't help it, and whispered again.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, His Royal Highness King Yan ......"

Zhu Di said slowly: "King Yan obeys his father's order!" ”

At this time, the angel of the edict breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly handed the edict to Zhu Di.

After Zhu Di got up, he stared at the angel deadly, "Tell us honestly, which of the eight lambs is behind this trick?" ”

The angel's face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly said to Ai Ai: "Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness is angry, Weichen is just a minor official, only responsible for announcing the edict, and I don't know these things......"

Zhu Di let out a sullen breath, "Please also ask Zhu Changshi to take the angel down to rest." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"

The angel hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly retreated with Zhu Fu.

"Bastard!"

After only Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and Guo An were left in the hall, Zhu Di couldn't hold back anymore and scolded directly.

Zhu Gaochi was also full of indignation.

"It's too bullying!"

"Your Highness is angry!"

Guo An looked calm.

Zhu Di suddenly turned his head, stared at Guo An with red eyes, and said to Guo An: "Guo Qing, let's be aggrieved!" ”

Guo An said lightly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty's edict cannot be disobeyed!" ”

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "We know! ”

Guo An continued: "However, Your Highness can cry to Your Majesty for grievances! ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di was stunned.

Guo An said: "Your Highness, the secret recipe for white sugar is a big business that makes one or two million yuan a year, and there are only a few such workshops in Yanwangfu?" ”

"His Royal Highness is also the personal guard of the Ming Dynasty, the son-in-law of His Majesty.

His Majesty asked His Highness to come down to guard Beiping, and gave Daming Rongbian, His Highness came down.

At the beginning, those courtiers did not allow His Highness to succeed him as the crown prince, and His Highness put the overall situation first.

And in order to retreat in the future, His Royal Highness went to attack Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom......

However, the court can't be like this, it's been hard to force each other!

The secret technique of cement was given, the secret technique of transparent glass was given, the money for trade with Goryeo was given, and the five million taels of silver for the purchase of the imperial court and the recognition of the Japanese kingdom were also given......

Now, his imperial grandson does not let the southern merchants do business with the Yan Mansion, and he also wants to pry the gentry of the Beiping Mansion to stumble on the Yan Mansion, and His Royal Highness also tolerates it!

His Highness just wants to withdraw the secret recipe for white sugar, why are they still pressing like this?

……”

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "What Guo Qing said is extremely true, we have to give in to our father!" Does the court have to cut our Yan Wangfu, and then cut off the entire Ming vassal king......"

Guo An hurriedly said: "Your Highness, we are just humbling this time, and we must not anger Your Majesty!" ”

"We know!"

After speaking, Zhu Di walked to the table on the side.

Half an hour later.

A thick fold has been handed over to the two Yan Wangfu and rushed to the Beijing Division.

And the angel who announced the edict has not yet left the Yanwang Mansion.

Three days later.

Zhu Di's twists and turns have been sent to Zhu Yuanzhang's table.

"Father, the fourth child is wronged, and he is still aggrieved!

Since the order of his father and the emperor to guard Beiping, Zhu Di has been diligent, governing Beiping Mansion and conquering the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the north......

So far, it has paid off.

The people of Beiping Mansion live and work in peace and contentment, and they all have surplus food at home, and they have all built new houses......

Although Zhu Di is not a virtuous king, he is also worthy of the duties of King Yan of the Ming Dynasty.

Since the death of his eldest brother, Zhu Di has been grieving day by day......

The father appointed the eldest brother and eldest son as the emperor's grandson, which was the father's intention, and Zhu Di should obey it.

Zhu Di also gave his three sons the Goryeo and Wa kingdoms overseas, so that they also had their own vassal states.

However, we really didn't expect that Zhu Yunwen's kid was not only weak, but also believed in those thieves, in order to suppress his sons, he cheated on the imperial examination, forced the southern merchants not to trade with Beiping Mansion, and even sent people to threaten the major gentry in Beiping Mansion one by one......

Is such a despicable act the work of the Lord......

However, these are allowed by the father, and the sons can only complain.

However, the retainers have always been loyal to the court, and the secret technique of cement and transparent glass, the Goryeo trade was divided into 1.5 million taels of silver, and the Wa kingdom was 5 million taels of silver......"

After reading it in one go, Zhu Yuanzhang sat there quietly and was silent.

On the side, Zhu Yunwen was restless.

"Here, take a look for yourself!"

Zhu Yuanzhang directly threw the fold in his hand to Zhu Yunwen.

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

Zhu Yunwen didn't refuse, and looked at it directly.

In the corner, Erhu subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Zhu Yunwen.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson is wronged!"

After reading it, Zhu Yunwen said directly with a face full of grievances.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly: "What King Yan said is the truth?" ”

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment and was silent.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes closed, he asked, "Is the official who went to announce the edict back?" ”

On the side, Erhu hurriedly stepped forward and reported.

"Your Majesty, you haven't returned yet!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Hmph! Such a snubbing, should be killed! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The second tiger responded directly.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen again and said: "White sugar involves the livelihood of thousands of people in Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other southern, and I still have to wronged King Yan."

Now that King Yan has agreed, he quickly sent a ship to take those craftsmen back to their respective places of origin!

Send a few stewards from the palace to set up a sugar workshop, just like cement, and the sugar is first supervised by the palace. ”

"Grandpa Huang is wise!"

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly said.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved a little excitedly, "Okay, let's go down and do it!" ”

"Yes, Grandpa Huang......"

Zhu Yunwen saluted Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully, and then retreated with a happy face.

As for the poor edict official who was still on the way and hurried back, no one cared!
