"He has a big temper since he was a child, and I know this, but I never thought that he would even dare to contradict His Majesty, or for the sake of Ying Guogong and Song Guogong."

In the heart hall of King Yan's mansion, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao were sitting together at this moment, their faces full of embarrassment.

In front of them, the Xu family, who was walking back and forth, was counting her son's wrongs, and when it came to the critical moment, she frowned and taught Zhu Di a lesson:

"I'm in a hurry here, it's better for you to go to the north to patrol the border, it's more than 500 miles, and no one can find it."

Zhu Di couldn't help touching his beard when Xu said it, but he was stopped by Xu's sharp gaze before he could get started.

In order to divert Xu's attention, Zhu Di immediately coughed and said, "Ahem, Daoyan, what do you mean by telling me......

When Yao Guangxiao on the side heard this, his face almost showed a mask of pain, but fortunately, the Buddhist beads in his hand helped him calm his emotions, so he could only pick up the letter sent by Zhu Gaochi and read it repeatedly.

At this glance, he still saw something, and he was immediately relieved.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess, don't worry, according to the poor monks, Your Majesty is probably just making a show."

Yao Guangxiao displayed the letter, and at the same time said with his finger: "Your Highness wrote here, Your Majesty did not ban the Second Highness on the first day, but only grounded the Second Highness when he was reminded the next day, which is enough to show that the grounding of the Second Highness is not what His Majesty wants, but he has to do it." ”

Yao Guangxiao put the letter away, saluted the two and said, "Your Royal Highness should be fine, don't worry about it." ”

"I'll just say... If my father had a temper, he would have had it on the spot, and sure enough, the second child was fine. ”

Zhu Di whispered at this time, quite an afterthought, which provoked Xu Shi to glance at him, and Zhu Di also laughed awkwardly in response.

Seeing Zhu Di'an's separation, Xu Shi was also worried and asked: "According to what the master said, Gao Xu is indeed fine, but he has done too many things this year, I am worried that leaving him in the capital will cause a bigger mess, I wonder if I can say that His Majesty will send him back to Beiping?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! It's best to send it back to the second child. Zhu Di hurriedly agreed, but it was not that he missed Zhu Gaoxu, but that he felt that when Zhu Gaochu came to Beiping, someone would help him manage the government.

After all, this kid can enter the Wuying Palace, so wouldn't it be easy to deal with a Beiping?

At that time, without the obstacle of government affairs, and the ability of "watching mountains and mines" that kid didn't know where he learned, maybe he would be able to raise military funds and let himself find an opportunity to go to the north to clean up Uliangha.

Zhu Di was dreaming of his own, but Yao Guangxiao shook his head with a solemn face:

"If Your Highness's actions are not liked by Your Majesty and the Grand Sun, I am afraid that he will have already been sent back to Beiping."

"Since he is only grounded at the moment, and His Royal Highness also said in the letter that the Taisun is the second Highness in the Wuying Palace, then it seems that my Majesty and the Taisun do not want His Highness to leave Nanjing......"

"That's not going to work!" Hearing that Zhu Gaoxu couldn't come back, Zhu Di immediately quit, he stood up and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, like a little brown bear.

"Wuliangha in the north is restless, I have to patrol the border at all times, no one in Beiping is not at ease, I have to let the second child come back."

"I'll write a letter to my father!" Zhu Di was about to write a letter as soon as he slapped his head, but Yao Guangxiao hurriedly stopped him when he saw this:

"Your Highness, no matter how difficult Beiping is, it can't be difficult to do things in the south."

"If Your Majesty doesn't want to release people, no matter how miserable you write about Beiping, I'm afraid that Your Second Highness will not be able to come back in a short time."

"The top priority is to send someone to search for news in Nanjing City to find out why His Majesty and the crown grandson are unwilling to let His Second Highness return to the north."

Xu didn't think as much as Zhu Di, she just wanted Zhu Gaoxu to be safe, so she walked in front of Yao Guangxiao and squeezed Zhu Di away:

"Master, this matter is up to you, I just want Gao Xu and the three of them to come back as soon as possible, and don't wade into the troubled waters of Nanjing."

As the daughter of Xu Da, the Xu family naturally knew how dangerous Nanjing City was for them.

She is not worried about Zhu Gaoxu's life, but she is worried that Zhu Gaoxu will be used.

For example, those things in Zhu Gaochi's letter at the moment, Xu didn't believe that Zhu Gaochu could make it, there is a way to know that Zhu Gaochu is the meat that fell from her, where does she not know what Zhu Gaochu is capable of.

The so-called "Theory of Cutting Domains", "Money Law", "Looking at Mountains and Mines" and other things, I am afraid that someone is deliberately guiding, and my stupid son may have become someone else's pawn.

"I think it's all done by Gao Xu......"

Zhu Di spoke quietly, which immediately attracted the double gaze of Xu and Yao Guangxiao.

However, this time Zhu Di did not admit it, but analyzed: "Gao Chi may be deceived by Gao Xu, but my father is a human spirit, if Gao Xu really has no ability, I am afraid that my father would have written to scold me a long time ago." ”

"This ......" Yao Guangxiao also looked embarrassed, and he also felt that a character like Zhu Yuanzhang would not fail to see a person's disguise.

From the current point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang really likes Zhu Gaoxu, and this article alone is enough to explain everything.

Those few things, even if Zhu Gaoxu is not led by himself, I am afraid that he will also have his participation, otherwise he will not be qualified to enter the Wuying Palace.

"Specifically, we still have to wait for more detailed news from Nanjing to know."

Yao Guangxiao did not make a decision, and Zhu Di and Xu were helpless when they saw this, so they could only nod their heads.

But as soon as the two of them responded, Zhu Di walked aside with Xu in his arms and whispered: "Sister, I haven't ...... the matter of patrolling the border yet."

"Before Gao Xu's ban is lifted, His Royal Highness should wait in the mansion, and the matter of patrolling the border will be borne by Commander Zhang." Xu unceremoniously interrupted Zhu Di, and walked out of the hall in a negative mood.

"Girl! Sister! ”

Zhu Di saw that Xu Shi didn't look back, so he hurriedly shouted and followed.

Watching the two leave, Yao Guangxiao took out the letter written by Zhu Gaochi from his sleeve again.

Looking at the above content, Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but think of Zhu Gaoxu's immature face, and his brows gradually wrinkled, making it difficult to separate......

Just when he was worried about Zhu Gaoxu's changes, the northern feudal lords successively received various information about Nanjing City.

Whether it is the copper mines in Yunnan and Jiuhua Mountain, or the elders of the three mansions into the Wuying Palace......

All of this seems to be traced back to Zhu Gaoxu.

In the Jin Palace, Taiyuan, Shanxi, Zhu Li lost his previous calm and leisure, and at this moment he was holding a thick stack of letters in his hand, with a very ugly expression on his face.

He was naturally happy about Zhu Jixi's entry into the Wuying Palace, but he was even more angry at the change in Zhu Gaoxu.

He wanted Zhu Jixi to be the first to enter the Wuying Palace and become the first person in the three generations except Zhu Yunwen, but he didn't want this title to be picked up by Zhu Gaoxu.

In addition, the recent situation in Jiangnan is also a bit weird, and it is estimated that it is also related to Zhu Gaoxu.

Except for Zhu Jixi's entry into the Wuying Palace, only Zhu Gaoxu's grounding in the Wuying Hall for Fu Youde and Feng Sheng to speak can make Zhu Li a little happier.

"The fourth child gave birth to a good son, but it's okay, it's just a second son......"

Zhu Li slowly put down the thick letter in his hand, and after a while, his face calmed down again, and his eyebrows gradually stretched.

In front of him was the heart hall of only the chief Shi of the Jin Palace, and he sat on the main seat, but his mind gradually became active.

"The old man doesn't want to kill them yet, so I have a chance."

Knowing what happened to Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Li saw Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, but he also knew that he couldn't contact Fu Youde immediately, otherwise the eldest nephew in his palace would probably immediately turn the gun and target him, but ......

"Hmph, little doll."

Zhu Yunwen's appearance flashed in Zhu Li's mind, and his face showed a little contempt.

"Your Highness, then Yan Yan's second son Xu is speaking for Ying Guogong and Song Guogong, could this be a conspiracy of King Yan?"

When Zhu Li was pondering, Shi Shi, the head of the Jin Palace, in the palace, couldn't help but speak, but Zhu Li subconsciously shook his head and denied:

"Although the fourth child is good with Yingguo bus, he is afraid that my father will die of fear, even he himself does not dare to intercede for Yingguogong, how can he let a little doll intercede."

"So, is it really Yan Yan's second son Xu who took it upon himself to intercede?" The prince couldn't believe it, after all, which fifteen-year-old doll dared to fight against the emperor.

"Maybe......" Zhu Li responded, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the three words 'Zhu Gaoxu' on the letter, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about his nephew.

"This kid is kind of interesting......"

Zhu Li pondered, but the palace governor Shi spoke again: "At present, the eyes of the palace are on the matter of 'tax deduction with money', and when this matter is over, I am afraid that the one in the East Palace will do something to Ying Guogong." ”

"Just him?" Zhu Li smiled contemptuously, and then his face quickly became gloomy:

"It's just relying on my dad to support him, and when I do everything well, I want to see if my dad chooses me or him!"

As soon as his words were spoken, the palace chief Shi also lowered his head.

Seeing his appearance, Zhu Li waved his hand casually: "The affairs of Nanjing City, continue to pay attention, and ...... other."

Zhu Li paused for a moment, but continued: "The second son, Xu, also sent someone to pay attention, if this kid returns to the north in the future, I am afraid it will affect some things." ”

He did not thank Zhu Gaochu for indirectly helping him, but paid more attention to Zhu Gaoxu, and thought that he would affect some of his layouts in the future.

This practice is very immoral, but in his opinion Zhu Li, morality is just something that grass people will use!

When the governor of the palace heard this, he responded, and then withdrew from the palace of the heart.

At the same time, Zhu Fan of the Qin Palace, Xi'an, also got news from Nanjing, but he did not have Zhu Di's worries and Zhu Li's concerns.

He was just happy for a moment after learning that Zhu Shangbing had also entered the Wuying Palace, and then he was busy leading his troops out of the city to hunt.

He knew very well that Fu Youde and Feng Sheng would not live long, as long as they died, then he could plot the military power in the northwest.

Before that, you have to do some preparation.

Thinking of this, Zhu Fan led his headquarters to march to the south of Qinling, and Zhu Gaoxu's deeds were completely spread among the clan.

Regarding his disobedience to Lao Zhu's heart in Wuying Palace, many vassal kings just regarded it as a joke, after all, not everyone can have the thoughts and strength of the four strong feudal clans of "Qin, Jin, Yanzhou".

But in any case, the name Zhu Gaoxu is remembered by all the vassal kings......

"Bell... Clang... Bell ......"

At midnight, as the morning bell rang in Nanjing, Zhu Gaoxu in the dim room also hummed and turned over.

After repeating this several times, he finally opened his eyes at the sound of the bell, and the sound of rushing water sounded outside the house.

Zhu Gaoxu turned over and put on a middle coat and a round-necked robe, pulled his long hair and sat in front of the bronze mirror in the bedroom, very skillfully pulled his hair into a bun, and finally used a wooden hairpin to get everything done.

When he got up and went out of the house, there was already cooking smoke in the kitchen, and there were people in the ear room on the left side of the courtyard who got up to clean up, the courtyard door was opened, and Lin Wuliu was handing over shifts with Wu Zhangyi.

"Your Highness, wait a minute, the hot water will be ready soon!"

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu get up, a thirty-year-old man who was busy in the kitchen greeted him with a smile, and for all this, Zhu Gaoxu had become accustomed to in the past ten days of confinement.

He stretched out a few times in the yard, and the brothers who changed shifts "ignored" him and took care of their own business.

After the shift change was over, Lin Wuliu and Wu Zhang Yicai trotted into the courtyard and waved to Zhu Gaoxu: "Your Highness, then we will go home first." ”

As soon as Wu Zhang said that, Lin Wuliu also said: "Breakfast has been bought by someone, Your Highness, you can eat it after you wash up." ”

"Okay, thank you guys." Zhu Gaoxu did not shirk, after all, in his opinion, everyone in the hundred households is his own brother.

Seeing him like this, Wu Zhangyi also packed up his saber and walked out of the courtyard with his brothers in armor.

"Your Highness, let's go!"

"Well, be careful on the road."

The brothers waved goodbye to Zhu Gaochu before leaving, and Zhu Gaochu responded with the same smile.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Zhangyi and the others had already left, leaving behind Lin Wuliu and the nine brothers of Jiazi Xiaoqi.

As always, they saluted Zhu Gaoxu, and then they were on duty and resting as before.

Zhu Gaoxu washed with hot water in the kitchen, and after the end, Lin Wuliu also sent someone to buy oil cakes, soy milk and other breakfasts.

After the washing was over, Zhu Gaochi dined with the six brothers who were resting, and chatted about the things in Nanjing in the past few days.

"Five or six, has the price of the treasure banknote risen?"

He asked with a bowl of soy milk, and Lin Wuliu replied while eating oil cakes:

"As you expected, it's only been ten days, and the treasure money in the city has risen a little, and now the usual treasure money can be exchanged for four hundred wen."

"I haven't asked Su Song yet, I guess Wang Baihu will bring you news in the afternoon."

Lin Wuliu is just a small flag official, naturally he can't find out the news of Su Song's second mansion, in comparison, Wang Jian's sources are more extensive, as long as he chats with the hundred household officials of other guards, he can find out the news of other places from the mouths of the hundred household officials who are on duty at the city gates.

Zhu Gaoxu changed the topic when he heard this, and guided the topics in the courtyard to home, causing everyone to laugh and chat.

After breakfast, Zhu Gaoxu went back to the study without doing anything, and Lin Wuliu took the two of them to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Looking at them, Zhu Gaoxu only felt that he was not grounded, but like he had invited a group of people to take care of him.

Although he couldn't go out, through Wang Jian, Lin Wuliu, Wu Zhangyi and others, some ordinary news could basically be known to him.

In this way, if they can be called grounded, then Fu Youde and Feng Sheng are probably imprisoned.

"It's been ten days, and there is still no news......"

Sitting back on the chair in the study, Zhu Gaoxu held the notebook in one hand and prepared to practice calligraphy, while constantly thinking in his head.

He had a hunch that he would probably be able to leave Nanjing City soon, perhaps soon after the lockdown was lifted.

"The rise of treasure money is too fast, this is by no means something that Zhu Yunwen can do......"

Zhu Gaoxu had Zhu Yuanzhang in his mind, because only he could do such a thing.

The current situation is very similar to the stocks in the stock market in later generations, the difference is that one is a stock and the other is a treasure banknote.

Zhu Gaoxu studied ink and practiced calligraphy, and at the same time analyzed the current situation in his heart.

"The autumn harvest is coming, and the second government of Susong will use banknotes to offset taxes this time, at least two or three million yuan."

"With the current volume of treasure banknotes in Jiangnan, these two or three million treasure banknotes may have already been gathered, and those big rich squires are estimated to stop soon, if they stop, then ......"

Zhu Gaoxu paused, he probably knew what would happen next, and the hand holding the pen couldn't help but tighten.

"Collect the treasure money! Consistently worth four hundred and six texts! ”

Suddenly, there was a clanging sound and the sound of shouting and collecting treasure money from outside the courtyard.

The sound was loud at first, but it seemed that he had seen the soldiers at the gate of the courtyard, so he whispered a little as he passed by the gate, and it was not until he was far away that he became louder again.

"It's up again......"

Zhu Gaoxu frowned slightly, he really didn't expect that Lao Zhu would further think of ways to appear in his "Money Law".

"Tulip crisis......" He couldn't help but think of the Dutch tulip financial crisis two hundred years later.

In the Tulip Trap, Dutch merchants exploited the trade in tulips obtained from the East to make a profit.

This trade was normal at first, but with the massive hoarding of tulip bulbs by Dutch merchants, tulips became the most sought-after commodity at the time, and prices skyrocketed, and tulip merchants made a lot of money.

When one person starts making money, everyone else will be hot, and then more people will enter the market and get involved in this big speculation, hoping to jump into the wagon of getting rich overnight.

In just a few years, the whole of the Netherlands began to go crazy about tulips, and even went out of the bank to buy tulip bulbs.

In an era when 300 guilders was enough to cover a family's annual expenses, a rare tulip called "Augustus Forever" sold for 6,700 guilders, and this money could buy a mansion by the canals in Amsterdam.

Speculators believe that tulips are worth it no matter how expensive they are, because they are beautiful and have a promising future.

In the illusion of the continuous and rapid rise in the price of tulips, almost no one can hold the reins of speculation, and a trading similar to the modern futures market came into being.

In order to facilitate tulip trading, the Amsterdam Stock Exchange opened a fixed tulip trading venue, and later Rotterdam, Leiden and other cities followed suit.

The newly formed "futures" market, because there are no clear rules and no specific constraints on buyers and sellers, makes it more convenient for businessmen to buy and sell, and let the tulip bubble, which has been blowing a lot, continue to expand.

Madness became a ubiquitous sight in the tulip market, but after madness came collapse.

At the height of the tulip market, the market began to collapse without warning.

Someone started dumping their tulip contracts out, and the move was like the first domino to fall.

When the first dominoes fell, more people began to sell their hoarded tulip contracts, and the price of tulips plummeted.

A week later, the price of tulips had fallen by an average of 90 percent, leaving investors with nothing to lose.

Eventually, the Dutch government had to order the termination of all tulip contracts, but by this time most ordinary Dutch families had already been swept away by the economic crisis.

There are many such things, and the current Daming treasure banknote has a bit of a low-profile version of the "Tulip Crisis".

Now it seems that the price of Daming treasure banknotes has risen, but the problem is that the number of treasure banknotes in the market has not changed, but it is only circulated and concentrated in the hands of wealthy households, squires and a large number of people in Susong Erfu.

If the imperial court collects the treasure money in accordance with the original rules, then the people will not suffer damage to their interests, and only the household department will really suffer losses.

But once the household department does not do what was agreed in advance, then the Susong Second Mansion and most of the people in Jiangnan who are currently collecting treasure money will encounter unjustified disasters.

However, there is nothing wrong with this, because when Zhu Gaoxu first mentioned "tax deduction with money", it was to recover the treasure banknotes and let the real value of the treasure money recover.

As for the loss of profits suffered by the households, it can also be compensated for by the gold, silver and copper mines in Yunnan and Jiuhua Mountain.

It's just that in the face of the rapidly rising treasure banknotes, Zhu Gaoxu still can't help but feel a little weak.

Even if he has the face value of the treasure banknotes, he is still worried that he will collapse the policy of 'using money to offset taxes', after all, in his previous life, how could he have the opportunity to implement his own economic means against a country.

Judging from the current situation, once the policy of 'tax deduction with banknotes' collapses, he will become a thief scolded by everyone in Susong Erfu......

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu regretted his recklessness at the beginning.

If he hadn't proposed "tax deduction with money" at that time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have so many things to worry about now.

On the one hand, we must protect Feng Fu and the others, and on the other hand, we must be vigilant against the collapse of the treasure banknote economy......

This kind of pressure made Zhu Gaoxu feel heavy, but he also knew that if this level passed, it would be difficult for anything to crush him in the future.

With a long sigh, Zhu Gaoxu wiped the fine sweat on his forehead: "Even if you have a long heart, you can't find anything to do for yourself in the future." ”

With that, he looked into the corner of the study.

There, there were three large chests that had been sent a few days ago, containing hundreds of gold, silver, and copper coins.

The person who delivered the things was Donggong Li who met last time, and when the things arrived, he also passed on a message to Zhu Yunwen, that is, Zhu Yunwen would try his best to say good things for himself in front of Lao Zhu, and persuade himself not to worry, it won't be long before he can go out.

Regarding the words sent by Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Gaoxu just smiled.

He believed that Zhu Yunwen had good things to say for him, but Zhu Yunwen was definitely not pure kindness.

Judging from the current situation, his ability to 'watch the mountains and mines' is the reason why Zhu Yunwen wants to save himself.

But even so, Zhu Yunwen still doesn't like himself.

But this is not surprising, after all, if it weren't for him, Fu Youde would probably have gone to Huangquan right now, and his good third uncle would also be beheaded.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu had a strange expression and couldn't help rubbing his hands:

"If my father knew that I helped my third uncle, I am afraid that he would be angry and chase me all over the hospital with a stick."

Thinking of the picture of Zhu Di chasing after him with a stick, even if Zhu Gaoxu came through time, the memory of his predecessor still couldn't help but make him shudder......
