The Zhang brothers came out of Kunning Palace with mixed feelings.

Under the guidance of the eunuch Zhang Yong, he walked on the way out of the palace.

"Fortunately, now our wood, stone and bricks are all sold, so you don't have to worry about rotting in your hands."

Zhang Heling sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Through the relationship between my sister and brother-in-law, I not only saved money, but also made money.

Flattered.

Zhang Yanling said with a bitter face: "I could have sold more than 100,000 taels of silver, but now it is only more than 60,000 taels, and I have to take the transportation money and labor money, big brother, we seem to have lost a lot." ”

Zhang Heling scolded: "You lost a fart, the total cost of that batch of materials is 40,000 taels?" Now that you are given 65,000 taels, you still dare to say that you are a loss? His Majesty knew this......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Heling couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yong in front of him.

And Zhang Yong deliberately walked very far ahead, which means not to interfere with you, you brothers like to say whatever you like, just act as if no one exists around.

"Nephew's ......"

Zhang Yanling had a dozen calculations in his heart, and it seemed that he really had to make money.

Suddenly he thought of the person who gave them advice.

Zhang Heling said: "What should he do? The next time I see him, won't I send him two gadgets? ”

As he was talking, a half-old child ran out of the opposite corner, and Lao Yuan shouted: "Two uncles, have you returned triumphantly?" ”

When the two brothers of the Zhang family saw their eldest nephew coming uninvited, they thought that this was someone else's territory, and everyone in the palace was their eyeliner, if the nephew was interested in looking for him, could they let them run away?

The two of them had the urge to cover their purses.

……

……

"Two uncles, you are too human, let this palace say what is good about you? I broke the material, asked for a high price, and was robbed by others to repair the palace, not to mention, I actually wanted my father to pay for you to repair your own temple, do you still have the face? ”

Zhu Houzhao branched out all his entourage.

Then like a gentleman, he taught two uncles.

The posture is very similar to that of the East Palace speaker, but the words he said are more like Zhang Zhou's tone.

Zhang Yanling was angry in his heart: "I said prince, this idea seems to have come up with you, right?" Believe it or not, I'm going to tell Your Majesty and the Empress? ”

"Okay, go ahead and say it! Second uncle, give you face! Let's go, whoever doesn't go today is the grandson! ”

Zhu Houzhao is not a three-year-old child after all, with his shrewd mind and Zhang Zhou's guidance, his comprehension ability is stronger than that of ordinary adults.

Can't these two uncles see the situation clearly until now? How dare you threaten me?

As he spoke, he was about to reach out to pull Trillium.

Zhang Heling saw this posture and quickly admitted: "Prince, what is this for?" Second brother, you too, what are you doing to provoke the prince? Apologize to the crown prince quickly. ”

Zhang Yanling could only arch his hands with a disgraced face, as if admitting his mistake, but he didn't say anything.

"That's what happened, right? How much money did you cheat from your father? How many do you report? ”

Zhu Houzhao crossed his hands on his waist and only divided the spoils.

Zhang Yanling said: "Prince, how much money is there, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Zhang Heling hurriedly interrupted his younger brother and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't you say it all, next time you come, I will give you a thank you gift?" ”

"Thank you for what? Obviously, you also have a share of this palace, okay? Hongu has shares! That's right, it's shares! ”

"If I'm not mistaken, this palace is proposing 65,000 taels of silver to you, right? Don't bother to forget it, two and one add five, one person and a half! ”

Zhu Houzhao partnered with Zhang Zhou to open a bookstore before, and learned new words, which were used.

The Zhang brothers were taken aback.

Zhang Yanling said: "Big nephew, are you taking the opportunity to blackmail?" Divide in half? Why don't you go and grab it? ”

"Who's going to rob it? Isn't it right to divide half of the meeting? Zhu Houzhao is not used to the problems of these two uncles, "If you don't give money, the palace will go to the father and mother to complain, saying that you use rotten materials to pretend to be good materials, and with the help of Xiujia Temple, you want to sell these rotten materials to the imperial court, and you also deceive your father and ......emperor."

"Don't, don't!"

Zhang Heling really lost his temper now, and could only say in a pleading tone, "Prince, look, is it okay to have less?" We didn't really make much. ”

Zhu Houzhao first sneered, disdainfully glanced at the two, and then pinched his fingers as if he looked like him, and asked, "How much is one percent?" ”

"Ishei is...... Six thousand five hundred taels, not ......"

Zhang Heling wanted to cover his brother's mouth, but found that it was too late.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Okay, since you all think this figure is appropriate, then take six thousand five hundred taels out, it just so happens that this palace has to do some business recently, and the money is a little tight!" You don't want to give, do you? ”

"Fork your big ...... Not! ”

Zhang Yanling was about to scold immediately, but Zhang Heling blocked his mouth.

also gave his younger brother a desperate look, which means that even if this bear child is black-hearted, he must endure it.

Endure the calm for a while.

Zhu Houzhao said coldly: "Say, do you want to give it?" The palace is impatient, so I plan to talk to my father and mother! ”

"Give, give!"

Zhang Heling agreed on behalf of his younger brother.

"There is no basis for words! Liu Jin, pen and ink waiting! ”

Zhu Houzhao gave an order, Liu Jin came over and handed Zhu Houzhao a thing by the way.

The Zhang Heling brothers were dumbfounded after reading the above content, it was actually an IOU, and it happened to say 6,500 taels on it, which means that this matter was calculated by Zhu Houzhao a long time ago.

A question arose in the brothers' minds at the same time.

How did this kid get the numbers right?

Who's secretly helping this kid?

Looking at Liu Jin next to him, Liu Jin said with an evasive look: "Two uncles, our family doesn't know anything. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it's natural to repay debts, think that this palace doesn't need to give you ideas without giving money? Signed! ”

Zhang Heling looked at his younger brother with a bitter expression.

Originally, his idea was to accept it first, anyway, he wasn't sure when he would see this bear child in the future, maybe he would forget it when he turned around? Six thousand five hundred taels of silver sounds like a lot, but the royal family is rich all over the world, does it care about that bit of silver?

Besides, where did the bear child spend the money he took?

I'm sure this kid was just a whim, and I guess I don't remember that there was such a thing when I look back.

But they didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao was with them.

"To sign or not to sign!?"

Zhu Houzhao immediately raised his voice an octave again.

Zhang Heling could only pick up the pen handed over by Liu Jin, put it in his mouth and dipped it in some saliva, and then had to sign his name on it.

"And you!"

Zhu Houzhao glared at his second uncle.

So......

The Zhang brothers signed their names on this IOU.

"Tell you, when the palace turns around, people will go to your house to collect debts, but don't think about repaying the debts, if you still want to let the 65,000 taels fall into the pocket, you will know each other a little. Let's go! ”

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao looked like Zhang Zhou when he signed the equity letter with him, and went to dry the ink on the paper.

The little eyes that were so delicate, the careful movement of the little lips when they blew on the paper......

The Zhang brothers are all thinking.

It seems that this kid used to do this kind of bad thing a lot, otherwise why would he be so skilled that he could catch it?

It doesn't seem like someone else taught it.

"O wicked man! It's just knocking the bone and sucking the marrow! Hades ran out, right? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, second child, it's all your fault for entering that batch of rotten goods! Let's hope he doesn't remember it! ”

……

……

The Zhang brothers left in disgrace.

Zhu Houzhao was very proud, for him, just with his mouth, he earned 6,500 taels of silver.

I have never felt such a sense of accomplishment in my heart.

He didn't count the amount of silver, but he felt that so much silver should be not bad, about one-tenth of the Qingning Palace.

"When you leave the palace in the future, you don't need Zhang Zhou to give silver, and the palace will have money to spend."

Zhu Houzhao showed off the IOU in his hand in front of Liu Jin.

Liu Jin smiled bitterly, he didn't know the details of this matter very well, and probably guessed that it might be related to Zhang Zhou, but the IOU was written by Zhu Houzhao who ordered him to help write it.

But it also only writes the number of money owed and the debtor, and does not talk about the process.

Liu Jin is also worried, Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo won't think that I didn't know about this thing behind it, I instigated it, right?

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you want so much silver for?"

Liu Jin was smiling bitterly.

Help the prince do bad things, let others misunderstand, and he will not be good.

Zhu Houzhao didn't reply, and took Liu Jin back to Wenhua Palace.

"Come, come, come here, this palace has something to say!" Zhu Houzhao greeted the eunuchs.

A group of East Palace attendants were listed in front of Zhu Houzhao, even if there were many people who took turns off, there were more than 30 people standing in front of Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao said: "In this way, the palace has earned some silver, the leader will give fifty taels, and the one who works with low hands will give ten taels, calculate how many people there are in total, and record it in the palace account, and the silver will be sent to you when it arrives!" ”

A group of chamberlains looked at each other.

The prince still has silver hair?

Who's going to give it?

Gu Dayong asked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, where did you get the silver?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, but if someone dares to rely on the accounts of the palace, they will send you to collect debts, and you will have to work hard at that time!"

“……”

Those present continued to be stunned.

"Hongu has gone to rest!"

"Your Highness the Prince, your telescope ......"

"Clean up the palace, whoever breaks it will pay for the head! When I go back to the palace, I have to take it to make suggestions with my father! ”

……

When the prince returned to the inner hall, Gu Dayong and others surrounded Liu Jin.

"Father-in-law Liu, what's going on?"

Previously, only Liu Jin accompanied him to share the spoils with the Zhang brothers, and no one else knew what happened.

Now I can only find Liu Jin to find out.

"You don't know, where do we know? But this matter must not be leaked, whoever leaks it, not to mention the confiscation of the silver, even the head will not be able to keep you! ”

Liu Jin's status in the East Palace is not the highest, but because he used to play with the prince, he was deeply loved by the little prince.

In terms of status in the palace, it is not who has a high official position and who is awesome, but who is favored and who is awesome.

So in the East Palace system, Liu Jin is faintly the leader, but in fact, no one is convinced by any of the eunuchs, who does the ghost know who the prince will favor tomorrow?

"That'...... That's it? ”

"That's all!"

Liu Jin said, "Shut up when you take the silver!" This is the prince's reward, don't be ignorant of current affairs! ”

Liu Jin had to say so.

As one of the entourages who went to Zhang's warehouse that day, Liu Jin had been called by Xiao Jing to talk before, and he was ordered to keep the events of the day secret.

So he could only guess that the prince might be blackmailing the Zhang brothers with this matter, and as for what it was, he didn't know.

"Fifty taels of silver, a lot!"

All the eunuchs were a little happy, but they were afraid that they would not be able to fulfill it.

Liu Jinxin said that it must be the trick of the kid surnamed Zhang, he is quite good at coming to things, and he actually thought of bribing the long-term entourage of the East Palace? Fortunately, I didn't tell them that Zhang Zhou planned this matter behind his back, otherwise it would be bad for them to receive the surname Zhang!

Think again.

A smile rose on Liu Jin's face.

Fifty taels of silver......

Really fragrant.

……

……

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhu was seeing Xiao Jing.

"Really?"

It is not easy to hide some things from Zhu Youji, especially what happened in the palace.

Xiao Jing said with a bitter face: "It's true, Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo also signed an IOU of six thousand five hundred taels of silver to the prince. ”

"Poof......

Zhu Youzhu was choked by his own saliva when he heard this.

Dai Yi on the side asked, "Could it be that someone gave the prince an idea?" ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled: "Do you still need to ask?" It must have been Bingkuan's idea, otherwise why did he just leave on the front foot, and the prince on the back foot went to block Heling and Trillium? The prince did this...... It's a bit of a loss, I don't support it...... Ha ha. I don't have to worry about it! ”

Lip service says no.

But the heart was very happy.

This incident not only solved the problem of harmony between his husband and wife, but also adhered to the principle of not using broken materials in Qingning Palace, and more importantly, saved money for the imperial court.

Let his son have a good experience in the social practice class, so that his son can gradually master the city government and calculation necessary for being a king......

Of course, these are all conclusions that Zhu Youzhi came to when he had great respect for Zhang Zhou, and tried his best to think about things as well.

If someone else instigated the prince to do this kind of thing, it is not clear what the conclusion is.

"Your Majesty, after the prince returned to the Wenhua Palace, he also said that the people in the East Palace would be given at least ten taels of silver each, and the eunuchs in charge would be given fifty taels."

"It's good, it's going to buy people's hearts!"

"Then Your Majesty, look back and talk about the matter of the official participating in the impeachment of the Zhou family's private pockets......"

"Do I still need to teach you this kind of thing? Overrule! Who was impeached? Go back and settle accounts with him! ”
