Shen Yi immediately assured with confidence: "The money and grain accumulated by the household department, excluding the regular expenses for this year and next year, tax reductions and exemptions, and a big war, are still no problem.

However, if you count the construction of sailors, the construction of sea ships, the opening of the sea ban, and the resumption of Western trade, the household department is still a little unbearable. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled slightly, don't you want me to express my position in public and give money, Shen Yi, you are an iron rooster.

But I like it.,The book of the household should be deducted and searched.,If you really get a big money to spend money on the book of the household.,It's scary.。

So Zhu Qiyu promised: "The first three years of Jingtai Dynasty were the most arduous and difficult three years. The things that cost money are all concentrated in this time.

And the benefits of reform will not be seen for a while.

Just wronged all Aiqing and I to endure hardships together for a few years, as for the cost of building a sailor and building a fleet, the internal money will bear it.

When the Western trade makes money, I don't want any of it, and all the profits go to the imperial court. ”

When everyone heard this, they all knelt down and shouted the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Qiyu nodded with a smile, and exchanged the promise of paying tens of millions of taels of silver in the future for a sentence of Son of Heaven Shengming.

Fortunately, at this moment, the Son of Heaven in the mouths of the ministers is sincere, and he spent his own money to restart Western trade, but all the profits went to the imperial court, and such a stupid emperor is difficult to find with a lantern.

Ministers come across one so easily, and they must cherish it.

After reading the carrier warehouse, Zhu Qiyu took the ministers to transfer the stolen goods and the Guangying warehouse, and then came to the E-word warehouse.

Knives, guns, bows and arrows, armor and other weapons stored in the E-character inventory.

The ministers were not very interested in weapons, so they took a hasty look at them. Zhu Qiyu turned around, and then asked the eunuch in the treasury: "These are all ordinary weapons, are there any divine weapons stored in the E-shaped warehouse?" ”

Zhu Qiyu just asked casually, but the little eunuch replied: "Emperor Qiqi, there is also a small warehouse divided inside, which is dedicated to storing sharp weapons made by skilled craftsmen.

Among them, there are many famous swords, although those swords are sharpened like clay, but they are not suitable for use in the battlefield, so they are stored in the library, and are occasionally used to reward people. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Lead the way ahead, I'll take a look and pick one or two good rewards." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly led the way in front and led everyone into the storehouse.

Zhu Qiyu looked carefully at the sword after sword under the introduction of the little eunuch.

The little eunuch easily got this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he naturally tried his best to show off, and even performed picking and breaking his hair.

Zhu Qiyu didn't like to brush the little eunuch's heart, and he spent most of the hour.

The ministers couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking, and it was okay to have a good time watching a few swords, so why bother endlessly putting on a frame to read all the swords.

And Zhu Qiyu admires the little eunuch around him more and more, but he is just a little internal official who guards the treasury, and he can tell the origin of these swords is the truth, which shows that he has worked hard.

So Zhu Qiyu asked, "What's your name, whose name is it?" ”

The little eunuch replied: "The slave maid Yan Li was involved by her family in the first Battle of Luchuan and was castrated and sent to the palace.

At that time, Luchuan's rebellion was very hated, so no one was willing to take the slave and maid in his name, and the slave and maid were sent to look at the treasury in the Wuzi library for ten years.

In this mutiny, the inner court was purged, and the slaves and maids were blessed by misfortune because they had no door and no faction, and not only were they not implicated, but they were promoted to the small internal officials in charge of the E-word library. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and asked again: "In another two or three years, Luchuan will also become the territory directly under the Ming Dynasty, do you want to return to your hometown at that time?"

You have told me so much today, I can reward you with your freedom and let you return to your hometown. ”

Yan Li knelt down and replied: "Thank you for the grace of the emperor, but the slave and maid's family are gone, and there is no place to go back." Besides, the slaves and maids have no skills, and when they leave the imperial city, the eunuchs are not treated everywhere, and there is no way to live. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and ordered Yan Li to continue to introduce himself to the sword in the library.

After another quarter of an hour, when the ministers were impatient to wait, Zhu Qiyu finally had fun and ended his sword appreciation.

Zhu Qiyu deliberately wasted time, just to go to Ciqing Palace to visit the prince.

After the prince had eaten dinner, he went over again, said a few words and left. It's okay to go through the process this way, and save yourself from endless nagging.

Just as Zhu Qiyu turned around and walked out a few steps, he suddenly glanced at a jade sword box in the corner, and four words were engraved on the front of the sword box: Autumn Water Guangcheng.

Zhu Qiyu was overjoyed in her heart, she was really looking for her thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the person was in the dim light.

Yan Li has great eyesight, originally the emperor didn't pick the sword he wanted, and he was upset and annoyed in his heart. I don't want to be pitied, but at the last moment, a sword finally entered the eyes of the emperor.

Yan Li hurriedly went over and picked up the sword box and placed it on the desk.

Zhu Qiyu cautiously opened the sword box, only to see that it was a pair of swords.

Zhu Qiyu held the Qiushui Sword, slowly pulled it out, and then faced the three Qingfeng who were blowing off their hair and the cold air, and fell into deep thought.

According to legend, it was these two swords that accompanied the great emperor to the end.

On the day of the destruction of Beijing, Chongzhen carried this sword, slashed the princess and concubine, and then went to hang the coal mountain.

After seeing Nurhachi's fifth ancestor Dong Shan today, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Qiyu asked He Yi: "Xingyi, I remember that the sword names of Qiushui and Guangcheng have a saying, what is Bai Juyi's poem?" ”

He Yi replied: "It's "Li Duwei Ancient Sword":

The ancient sword is cold and gloomy, and it has been cast for thousands of years.

The white light is the sun and the moon, and the purple gas is a bullfight.

Some guests borrow a look, and love is not daring to ask.

In the clear jade box, the autumn water does not flow.

The treasure has a nature, and the essence is incomparable.

It can be folded inch by inch, and can not be soft around the fingers.

May the heart of the man be straightened quickly, and the head of the minister will be cut off.

Unwilling to revenge small grievances, stabbing personal vendetta in the middle of the night.

Advise the monarch to be cautious, and not be ashamed. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "You can make inches and inches, but you can't wrap your fingers around." May the heart of the man be straightened quickly, and the head of the minister will be cut off. Bai Juyi's good poems relieve anger.

In the future, I will use this sword to point the country and sweep away Liaodong and destroy the Tartars for future generations. ”

The ministers didn't know why, so they could only follow and shout the Son of Heaven. Although I don't know what kind of tricks the emperor is thinking in his heart, it is always impossible to go wrong by shouting the Son of Heaven Shengming.

Zhu Qiyu smiled at He Yi and said, "Xingyi, you can take the sword box and Guangcheng sword home for me and hand them over to Jin Xing, the head of Ganquan Palace."

Then you go back to accompany Xu Wan, otherwise she should scold me again. ”

He Yi smiled knowingly, held the sword box and retired.

Zhu Qiyu instructed Yan Li again: "If you have made meritorious contributions to my treasure hunting, you will be recognized under the name of Huang Qi and follow me to serve." Huang Qi, you carry Yan Li more on weekdays. ”

Yan Li almost fainted with excitement when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him.

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "That's it, I will be an errand in the future, I will not treat you badly." ”

Yan Li kowtowed three more times, then kowtowed to Huang Qi again, and called his godfather instead.

Huang Qi was speechless, this guy is older than me, how did I become a godfather. I'm only seventeen, how can I have a godson in his twenties.

Zhu Qiyu didn't care about this, led everyone out of the treasury, watched the flowers all the way, and discussed political affairs with the ministers all the way.

When they entered Ciqing Palace, it happened that the eunuchs of Shangshan Jian had withdrawn their dinner and came out.

Entering the main hall with the ministers, he saw Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang coming out with the prince to greet him.

The prince wanted to kneel, but Zhu Qiyu went directly over and hugged the prince.

Sit down in the main hall, and the hundred officials kneel to worship the prince and the three imperial concubines. Concubine Cheng bowed to Zhu Qiyu through the bead curtain.

After saluting, Zhu Qiyu smiled at Lin Xiangyu and said, "Have you come a long time ago?" ”

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "My mother is pregnant, and I ate very early, and the two of us came after dinner with my mother." ”

Zhu Qiyu was relieved when he heard this, it was right not to eat in the palace.

After chatting with the favorite concubine for a few words, Zhu Qiyu asked Zhu Jianshen again: "What has the prince been reading recently, and has he made progress in his schoolwork?" ”

Zhu Jianshen replied intermittently: "Uncle Qiqi, my nephew has been in the ...... recently. is following Liu ...... Mr. Liu reads the Analects. ”

After that, Zhu Jianshen also pointed to Liu Dingzhi who was standing below.

Zhu Qiyu frowned, it seems that this prince was really frightened out of his stuttering problem in the mutiny.

Looking up at Liu Dingzhi again, Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "It's past dinner time, why is Liu Aiqing still in the womb?" ”

Liu Dingzhi replied: "Your Majesty, the prince has had dinner, and the minister will continue to lecture for the prince." ”

"What?"

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he turned his head to look at Concubine Cheng. What does this concubine think, I handed over the prince to you to raise, not for you to be a chicken baby. A five-year-old child still has to listen to the master at night? As for rolling like this?
