The eunuch who was waiting outside saw the long-lost and familiar drama through the paper window on the door.

In his eyes, a strong figure was on the run, and a delicate figure was chasing with a feather duster.

What Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know was that his regular eunuch had already given this 'shadow puppet show' a name that would never let others know for the rest of his life, 'Weak Phoenix Beats Strong Dragon'!

Of course, he didn't dare to watch this kind of shadow puppet show for too long, just one glance and then he took a group of sensible eunuchs and palace maids away.

On duty in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, the most important thing is to be smart and sensible.

Like this kind of emperor's private drama, it is a great fortune to have the honor to take a look, just watch yourself and be happy, and you must forget it when you go out of the door of this imperial study.

Under the dragon candlestick in the imperial study,

Zhu Yuanzhang ran around the desk of the dragon case, and reprimanded solemnly: "No, you mother-in-law, don't you ask the reason?" ”

Empress Ma chased after her with a feather duster, and said angrily: "The founding emperor wrote an IOU? ”

"You are too concerned about future generations, you are afraid that future generations will not have anything to talk about at the dinner table, right?"

"What will future generations say, and what will they say about me Ma Xiuying?"

"I will say that I control you too strictly, and I have to go to the treasury to make an IOU, I am not Dugu Jialuo, you are really too"

"No, you want so much money, what the hell are you going to do?"

"You're going to rebel?"

When Queen Ma said this, she stopped and threw away the feather duster in her hand.

Queen Ma is also really confused!

Just because Zhu Yuanzhang did this, he directly turned her into the 'Daming Dugu Jialuo' in the mouth of later generations!

She doesn't look down on Dugu Jialuo, but she does look down on many of Dugu Jialuo's practices, at least she will definitely not make the emperor so angry that she runs away from home because of such a small thing as the emperor marrying a concubine.

Now it's okay, an IOU will go down, and she won't be able to wash it when she jumps into the Yellow River!

And at this very moment,

Zhu Yuanzhang bent down to pick up the feather duster and handed it to Queen Ma, and then said gently: "Are you tired of running?" ”

Immediately afterwards, he said with a smile: "Let's count, you have chased us nine times around the desk and bookcase of this dragon case, and you haven't gasped for breath yet, and your body is fine." ”

"If you stay with us for another thirty years, there will be no problem at all, and after thirty years, we will not run, and we will pout our butts and let you beat."

In the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden tender words, Queen Ma was only moved in her heart but didn't dare to show it, just tears flashed.

Let's hope for it!

She also hopes to stay with her family for another eighty or thirty years!

"Your Majesty, let's sit down and talk about it."

The next moment, the two took each other's hands and sat down on the chairs next to them.

Outside the Imperial Study,

The eunuch watched this scene through the door and window, he really wanted to slap himself, he shouldn't have come back to take a look at it at this time.

It is too much to let a crippled person watch this scene!

You can't come back and take a look!

In case they finish arguing and need to call someone, it is also their fault that they find that there is no one to shout.

It is difficult to be a eunuch, and it is even more difficult to be a eunuch serving Zhu Yuanzhang, when to enter and when to retreat, you have to grasp it yourself, if you don't grasp it well, it is still your own sin.

Just when the eunuch looked loveless outside the door, there was a voice from inside that made him even more loveless.

In the imperial study,

Queen Ma asked, "Chongba, you are honest, why do you want so much money?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled mysteriously and said: "He Ye Qing can do business, we can also do business, we have made a deal as Master Guo." ”

"Don't worry, it won't be long before these 200,000 yuan can be earned back several times, and then we will use the money we earn to open a nursing home in your name first, what do you think?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang directly looked like he raised his head and waited for praise.

But Queen Ma just frowned and said: "I said Chongba, how do you think that one is one out, you are the emperor, what are you competing with him Ye Qing?" ”

"Besides, you can govern the country, you can control people, you can fight, but how can you do business?"

"Tell me quickly, what kind of business it is, I'll help you see if it's feasible, if not, maybe you can lose less now."

Queen Ma's basin of cold water not only did not extinguish the fighting spirit of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ye Qing, but also played a huge role in motivating.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, then held his head high and said: "Sister, don't look down on us, we will definitely impress you when the time comes!" ”

"As for what kind of business it is, let's keep it secret now, don't ask any more questions, and we won't say anything if you ask."

Seeing this, Queen Ma had no choice but to give up, but she had to say everything in advance.

If she loses all the 200,000 yuan she worked so hard to earn, then she will have to use a feather duster to repay the debt, and a feather duster will be 100 yuan!

Regarding this repayment agreement, Zhu Yuanzhang, who is extremely confident, also said that it is very reasonable.

After a while, Queen Ma also nodded: "Okay, such a big business will definitely reach Ye Qing's ears, and it can be regarded as confirming the identity and financial resources of Master Guo." ”

"That's right,"

"Who is the household official who dared to ask you to write an IOU?"

"The concubine thinks that it can be reused!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry when he heard this, but he also felt that it could be reused.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's detailed narration, Queen Ma seemed to see that scene.

Time goes back to the time when Zhu Yuanzhang decided to do this deal,

In the afternoon of that day, he personally went to the household department to take 200,000 yuan of money, but as soon as he arrived at the imperial study, a petty official of the household department chased after him.

The junior official of the household department asked: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, does Your Majesty want to use this money, or does Master Guo Rui Guo want to use this money?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a deep gaze: "Is there any difference?" ”

Although the petty official of the household department abides by the duty of the monarch and minister, he also stretches his neck and says with a look of waiting to be cut: "Your Majesty wants to use this money, and the minister can only say 'Your Majesty's life is extravagant and overspending', and if Master Guo wants to use this money, then he has to write an IOU and calculate the interest." ”

"You"

This is the second person besides Ye Qing who is so angry that he loses his sense of proportion.

He really wanted to cut down this small household official, but the only remaining reason told him that after cutting him, he would also have to 'leave a name in history'.

But he still didn't want to write this IOU, although it was written in the name of Master Guo, but Master Guo was the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang!

The emperor wrote an IOU, which is somewhat embarrassing!

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes again, and said in a low voice: "What's your name, what's your son's name?" ”

He thought that the tone of his eyes and the questions in his eyes, anyone who wasn't a fool would know what it meant.

This is threatening him, if he doesn't get out, he will have to be killed all over the house!

But who knows, this small household official immediately took out a piece of paper and said: "The minister's full list was written before the minister came." ”

"Not only the list, but also the relationship with the ministers, and their addresses!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this list and was directly numb.

But because of this, he really remembered the name of this household official and his son.

The name of this household junior official is Xia Shimin, and his son's name is Xia Yuan (Yuan) Ji, the trade name is 'Wei Zhe', and he is now seven years old!

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang reluctantly wrote down the IOU, the main content of which was "the agreed annual interest rate of 20%, and the repayment date will be settled according to the agreed annual interest rate, the borrower Guo Rui, and the guarantor Zhu Yuanzhang." ”

Not only that, but also stamped the guarantor's name with his Zhu Yuanzhang's private seal!

In the imperial study, Queen Ma laughed directly when she heard it.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Queen Ma was laughing at him, and he was also so angry that he gritted his back molars and said: "That Xia Shimin is more ruthless than Lao Tzu, and when he left, he also put his full list on our dragon case, saying that if we are really angry, we can kill people at any time." ”

Empress Ma just smiled and saluted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for winning two loyal ministers!" ”

"As the saying goes, if you have a father, you must have a son, Xia Shimin helps you manage money, you can trust it!"

"Then Xia Yuanji will help our Biao'er manage the money in the future, and Biao'er should be trustworthy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also changed his anger to laughter after hearing this, although he felt helpless, but he also knew that his sister-in-law was right: "His full list, we will burn it that night." ”

Hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang burned the list, Queen Ma also thought of Ye Qing again.

It has to be Ye Qing's credit, after knowing Ye Qing, his endurance has become much stronger!

At the same time that Queen Ma thought of Ye Qing, Zhu Yuanzhang also thought of Ye Qing!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Queen Ma and said: "Let's decide, have a good Mid-Autumn Festival tonight, and leave for Yanmen tomorrow, on the road for a month, almost in mid-September." ”

"If nothing else, the rice field where the rice was planted should be a scene of autumn harvest and yellow ripeness."

"We're going to check whether it's really more than 600 catties per mu, and we're going to see how he applies to the tax law!"

Especially when it comes to 'how to apply the tax law', Zhu Yuanzhang's voice is obviously low and dragged a lot.

When Queen Ma heard this, she naturally knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, whether he Ye Qing was promoted to the court or beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, it depends on how he pays taxes!

Thinking of this, Queen Ma also immediately said, "Your Majesty, I will also go with you this time." ”

"Together?"

"Can you stand this toss?"

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say something more, but looking at Queen Ma's expectant gaze, he still chose to shut up.

He just looked in the direction of Yanmen County, and said secretly in his heart: "The surname Ye, don't be sorry for your eldest sister Ma, if you disappoint her, Lao Tzu will kill you alive!" ”

And at this very moment,

The eunuch knocked on the door and said, "Your Majesty, Hu Weiyong, the right minister of the Chinese book, asks to see you." ”

Although Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't like this person, he usually meets, after all, it is normal and appropriate for the prime minister to meet the king.

It's just that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he just doesn't want to see it.

Zhu Yuanzhang casually dismissed: "Let him say something tomorrow morning, go home to accompany his wife and children for the holidays." ”

Outside the door,

After the eunuch conveyed Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Hu Weiyong said politely:

"The annoying father-in-law reported again, and said that Ye Qing, the magistrate of Yanmen County, has 800 miles to rush to report!"

"If Your Majesty is not seen yet, the minister will play again tomorrow!"

As soon as the eunuch heard that it was an eight-hundred-mile rush from the border pass, he naturally did not dare to delay.

Don't say it's the Mid-Autumn Festival,

Even if Queen Ma gives birth, he has to drag Zhu Yuanzhang out to say something!.

I ask for the support of the officials, and ask for the support of recommended tickets, monthly passes, and rewards, thank you!
