Zhu Yuanzhang's tiger eyes gradually widened,

kept staring at his eyes as if he was about to get out of his sockets,

He never thought of it,

The method given by Zhu Xiongying is to cut the expenses of the royal family!

Zhu Xiongying, he is also a member of the royal family!!

Isn't this a self-severing arm?!

But in Zhu Xiongying's heart, what is the dissatisfaction with these uncles?!

If this is the case, after Zhu Xiongying succeeds to the throne,

There will inevitably be a conflict between the power of the imperial power and the power of the vassal king,

The first thing Zhu Xiongying did was to cut the domain!

The result is a lose-lose situation!

Regardless of the final result,

Zhu Xiongying was defeated, or the vassal kings were killed,

It's not the situation that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to see!

In other words, this is what Zhu Yuanzhang has been trying to avoid!

In Lao Zhu's view, a family should live in harmony,

Moreover, the lack of young family affection made Zhu Yuanzhang pay more attention to his family.

fratricide,

It is a situation that Zhu Yuanzhang absolutely cannot accept!!

Zhu Xiongying just said a sentence that made Zhu Yuanzhang think very far,

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, his eyes seemed to be completely unaware of Zhu Xiongying, and asked,

"Grandson, this.... What does that mean?

But you have a grudge against these uncles?! What's the matter, you tell grandpa!

Grandpa is definitely on your side! ”

Even Zhu Yuanzhang didn't realize that his voice trembled,

The words come out of my throat as if they were vomiting,

Zhu Yuanzhang, I'm so scared!

Zhu Xiongying shook his head with a harmless expression,

"Grandpa, what do you mean by that?

Naturally, the grandson has no dissatisfaction with the uncles.

The grandson is just talking about things. ”

"Just the facts?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice raised sharply, and even his voice was a lot sharper,

"Grandson, these are all my own family!

You want to save money for the imperial court, it must be no problem,

But this knife must not be cut on the head of your own family!

Do you think, these civil and military officials are not their own people,

And these uncles who are connected to your blood are your own people!

I have to point to them to guard the country for you!

If this cuts down their money, can they not have a grudge?!

How can I do things for you wholeheartedly in the future?! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said bitterly, so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

Zhu Xiongying sighed,

"Grandpa, don't worry.

Your grandson knows you're in a hurry, but don't worry. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up abruptly and roared,

"Why aren't we in a hurry!!

If the imperial court has no money, it can't touch the royal family's money! ”

Lao Zhu was stunned, and suddenly felt that he was a little too excited,

Then he sat back down, panting heavily,

No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang is so sensitive, his family has always been Zhu Yuanzhang's reverse scale,

If the person in front of you is not a good grandson, if someone else says this,

It's long since the heads of people were separated!

Zhu Xiongying got up, walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, and gently stroked Zhu Yuanzhang's back,

After Zhu Yuanzhang's breathing gradually stabilized, Zhu Xiongying spoke leisurely,

"Grandpa, grandson's move is to save all the uncles~"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head sideways, his expression was weird, and his throat was dry for a while.

"What? You cut down their money, not only did you not harm them, but you saved them?!

I really don't understand!! ”

Zhu Xiongying's expression was calm and he smiled,

"Grandpa, aren't we talking about it~ It's not really going to do this~

Don't get too excited, listen to your grandson's thoughts first,

If you think it's right, let's think about it more,

If you think it's wrong, your grandson will never mention it again in the future~

Grandpa should not be angry, otherwise, the grandson will be a great sin! ”

Zhu Xiongying's words calmed down Zhu Yuanzhang,

Lao Zhu thought about it,

And that's true,

After all, these things are still on the lips.

It's not really implemented yet.

What are we doing in such a hurry?

After figuring out this section, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled dumbly,

Our qi cultivation kung fu is not as good as our eight-year-old grandson!

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone slowed down a lot, and he said,

"Eldest grandson, you say, grandpa listens."

Zhu Xiongying hummed heavily, then pulled a piece of rice paper from the table, picked up the pen and wrote,

For Zhu Xiongying's unique ability to ignore things and walk with his pen and snake,

Every time Lao Zhu saw it, he couldn't help but be amazed,

Lao Zhu poked his head out curiously and looked over,

Two heads, one big and one small, came together,

I saw Zhu Xiongying writing all numbers on rice paper, and filling in these numbers in a complicated form.

Anyway, Lao Zhu can't understand it,

Zhu Xiongying has always been among the best in Taixue, calligraphy and art, and even Mr. Taixue said,

The Holy Sun Tianzi is smart, and they have nothing to teach the Holy Sun in the two subjects of books and arts.

So Lao Zhu didn't think much about it, just thought that his grandson was talented.

"Grandpa, look~"

Lao Zhu secretly said in his heart,

We've been watching! It's not incomprehensible!

"What is this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and couldn't help asking,

Zhu Xiongying grinned,

"This is the annual expenditure allocated by the imperial court to the royal family."

"Oh?"

After Zhu Xiongying's dialing, Lao Zhu also understood it instantly,

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and leaned over,

The first few lines of the table are the financial expenditures from the ninth year of Hongwu to the fifteenth year of Hongwu.

Since the ninth year of Hongwu decided that the imperial court would be responsible for the livelihood of the royal family, until now,

All the financial items are listed in great detail!

There is not a slight difference in the numbers!

This is the superb memory provided by [Xiongwu Immortal Talent],

Zhu Xiongying just glanced at the account book,

As long as you want to call up the contents of the account book,

Immediately, my mind will be like a camera, looking through the contents of the account book.

Then, Zhu Xiongying copied directly according to the image in his mind.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think so, he just thought that Zhu Xiongying had been preparing for a long time,

is waiting to raise the question of the royal family with himself,

This made Lao Zhu couldn't help but look serious, and looked at these numbers seriously,

"What's wrong with that?"

But

The account book, Lao Zhu really can't understand it,

As soon as he saw so many numbers, Lao Zhu subconsciously fainted,

I didn't notice it at all, and there was a secret hidden in it!

"Grandpa, look."

Zhu Xiongying stretched out his hand and dotted on the paper,

"This year's financial expenditure of the royal family is 970,000 stones.

This is not counting the food alone, not the land that has been set aside.

This accounts for half of the entire Ming Dynasty's finances. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a long sigh of relief and said lightly,

"Hey! What do we think?

It's just half of the Ming Dynasty's finances! What's this?!

Let's fight the world, can't we let our children enjoy it?

Eldest grandson, you are worrying for nothing!

Don't say half of it, even if it accounts for one percent, it's okay!

There have been too many troubles in the past two years, which has made the imperial court a little overwhelmed.

After two years, it's all right! ”

Zhu Xiongying sighed and said

"Grandpa, look again."

Zhu Xiongying pointed his finger at the line of Hongwu in the ninth year,

Then from top to bottom, little by little,

It didn't stop until the fifteenth year of Hongwu,

Subsequently, he pointed out the line of Hongwu for 15 years,

Zhu Yuanzhang's relaxed smile stiffened on his face, his eyes widened and widened, and the whole person was stunned.

Lao Zhu finally understood what the problem was!

In the ninth year of Hongwu, the royal family spent money,

390,000 stones.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the royal family spent money,

Nine hundred and seventy thousand stones.

That's doubled!!

Zhu Yuanzhang got up abruptly and brought down the teacup on the table,

With a snap,

The teacup fell to pieces on the ground!

Lao Zhu exclaimed,

"This, how can this be ?!!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Outside the room, several figures gathered in an instant,

"Your Majesty, it's okay."

Zhu Yuanzhang held his forehead, only to feel that the world was spinning,

"Go! Go and bring all the treasury books from the ninth year of Hongwu to the present!

Just go!!! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhu Xiongying held Zhu Yuanzhang and didn't say anything,

Now, Lao Zhu's heart is all about looking at the account books,

The whole person seems to be lost and depressed,

The dark guard is extremely efficient,

After a while, all the account books of Rushan were moved into the house.

Books of accounts are not written on paper, because paper is easy to corrode and cannot be kept for a long time.

Therefore, the account books of the household department are all engraved on the bamboo slips,

It's troublesome, but it works.

By the time the books were moved into the house, there was no place for the grandfather and grandson to put their feet.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and motioned for the secret guards to go out,

The dark guard, who had been keeping his head down, hurriedly withdrew.

Zhu Yuanzhang got up and rummaged through the account books of Hongwu's nine years,

"What about this!!"

With a swoop, Zhu Yuanzhang pulled out the bamboo slips,

Flip straight back,

Lao Zhu is eager to see that number,

"This !!"

Zhu Yuanzhang froze in place, and a big number came into view,

The expenses of the royal family are one,

370,000 stones.

There is no problem with the numbers!!

That is to say, from the ninth year of Hongwu to the fifteenth year of Hongwu,

But seven years of hard work,

The expenses of the royal family have more than doubled?!!!

Bang,

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the ground with his buttocks,

The whole person has been completely confused,

Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying and muttered,

"Why the hell is that?"
