Daming: I asked you to supervise the country, Daming is all crazy?

Chapter 108 Zhu Gaochi, who cheated his brother-in-law and threw 20!
The warm sun shining on people in winter is probably the easiest way to relax.

In the Prince's Mansion, Mrs. Zhang was sitting in the yard with a white Persian cat in her arms, knitting a new sweater in her hand.

The Persian cat in her arms is very beautiful, with long white fur, and its chubby body is curled up on Zhang's legs, like a ball of white wool.

Not making noise, raising his head to look at Mrs. Zhang from time to time, and then "meowing" twice, rubbing his furry head on Mrs. Zhang's palm, like a clingy little fairy.

The yard was also lively, the fat and fat Zhu Gaochi was chasing a half-sized white-haired puppy.

Compared with the Persian cat who is as quiet as a quiet little male.

The white-haired puppy in front of Zhu Gaochi is like a veritable brat.

It's either a touch here, or a bite here, and from time to time, it will attack some flowers and plants.

Zhu Gaochi wanted to catch this little thing, so he chased after the white-haired puppy, but the little white dog thought that Zhu Gaochi was playing games with it, and every time it was not far or near Zhu Gaochi, it was flexible and could He ran back and jumped on Zhu Gaochi's feet, and then jumped away when Zhu Gaochi grabbed it.

Zhu Gaochi was sweating profusely and panting after chasing, but he didn't even touch the dog's hair. He could only support one hand on a pillar and the other on his knee, panting heavily:
"Stop chasing, you little thing is too good at running!"

"Wang Wang..."

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi stopped chasing him, the little white dog stopped in front of Zhu Gaochi and barked, as if he hadn't had enough time to urge him.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes angrily: "Go, go, you are still laughing at me, be careful, I will lose you tomorrow!"

Mrs. Zhang, who was knitting a sweater at the side, laughed out loud when she heard Zhu Gaochi's words. Looking at the white-haired puppy who was still having fun with Zhu Gaochi, she joked:

"I've heard you say this more than ten times, are you really lost?"

When Zhu Gaochi heard Zhang's words, he smiled on his chubby face, and he didn't care, and said: "That can't be done, it was given to me by my son anyway."

After the words fell, Zhu Gaochi continued to chase the white-haired puppy, and shouted while chasing: "Stop for me, if you stop, I will make you a bachelor of Baimaoge, or I will give this title to the cat! "

Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes when she heard the words, touched the Persian cat in her arms, and snorted: "My son said, this Persian cat of mine is a little girl, what does it look like to be a university scholar? If you have the ability, you can give it to me." The old man is on the way, and it would be good to be a princess or something."

Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyelids, and said without even thinking about it: "Do you think I have the same face as our son in front of the old man? The palace compound, that is, it will be demolished as soon as it is said to be demolished. Don't say it after it is demolished. The old man still asks about the demolition." Are you happy? Are you feeling comfortable? Let me go to the old man, if you don’t know about tomorrow’s newspaper, you have to ask our son to make arrangements to write something about Prince Zhu Gaochi abandoning his pen and joining the army!”

What he said almost made Zhang Shi amused again.

The matter of Kong Jin is no secret to Zhang, so he has heard of it.

Now almost the whole Daming believes in the name arranged by his own son for Kong Jin.

She was about to say something when the eunuch and maidservant at the gate of the yard suddenly saluted and said:
"See His Royal Highness Taisun!"

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand to signal the eunuchs and maids to step down.

Then he bowed to Zhu Gaochi and Mrs. Zhang and said, "Baby, pay your respects to your parents!"

"Son, are you back?"

Seeing Zhu Zhanji coming back, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly shouted with a smile.

Zhu Gaochi on the side also nodded to Zhu Zhanji.

The little white dog who was amused with Zhu Gaochi saw Zhu Zhanji who came in suddenly, as if he saw a new target, he jumped and jumped towards him.

"go with!"

Seeing that the little white dog wanted to bite his trouser leg, Zhu Zhanji kicked the little white dog away angrily.

The little white dog screamed, and immediately ran back to Zhu Gaochi's side. Seeing that he was hiding behind him, Zhu Gaochi was a little afraid of Zhu Zhanji's little white dog, and with a smile on his face, he grabbed Xiaobai The dog slipped the back of its neck into his arms, and said with a smile:

"Haha, let's see if you can run or not, kid?"

"Wang Wang..."

The little white dog was caught by Zhu Gaochi, and he was not afraid to bark and bark at Zhu Gaochi, very lively and affectionate.

While avoiding the little white dog who wanted to lick his face, Zhu Gaochi said cheerfully, "Tsk tsk, call me daddy, call me daddy, I'll let you go!"

Zhu Zhanji: "..."

So I have another brother?

Seeing the silly father teasing the little white dog in his arms, Zhu Zhanji was a little depressed.

He wondered if his stupid father would become king in the future, would he still want to make this little white dog a king or something.

Zhu Gaochi said to Zhu Zhanji: "Son, I heard that you are out of the city again?"

"Ok!"

Zhu Zhanji nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Go to the greenhouse outside the city and have a look!"

Zhu Zhanji didn't mention his third uncle, so as not to worry his stupid father.

He had just parted ways with Yu Qian and Gu Zuo.

When Yu Qian first arrived in Yingtian, he needed to arrange a place in advance in a hurry.

Gu Zuo is also busy recently, Ying Tian's renovation of dilapidated houses, as well as cement pavement construction projects, need to be planned in advance.

Although Zhou Chen was in charge of these matters, he also needed the assistance of Yin Tianfu.

So Zhu Zhanji didn't say much to the two of them, and after walking around the greenhouse area, he brought Yu Qian back to Yingtian.

Then after taking note of Yu Qian's residence, he went back to the Prince's Mansion.

Zhu Gaochi didn't think too much when he heard the words, but while teasing the little white dog in his arms, he said: "Recently, the newspaper affairs have basically stabilized. According to what you said, the daily newspaper content is published to strive for the most authentic and most For the quick matter, and the matter of the reporters, I have found about 60 people and arranged them all over the place.”

"The ones that are close to Yingtian have already received news. The newspaper office has almost published the No. 15 newspaper. The response from the people is still very good. Even some great Confucian scholars and court officials report the news every day. It is a habit to buy a newspaper and read it."

Zhu Zhanji nodded when he heard the words. He still pays close attention to newspapers. When he deals with government affairs every day, when he has free time, he will ask Little Nose to find him a newspaper to read, mainly to make sure that the newspaper will not make mistakes. .

However, after he handed over all the newspaper matters to his stupid father, the newspapers run by his stupid father these days did not disappoint him, and all the contents were in line with his previous requirements.

After thinking about it, he said: "For the officials of the imperial court, we can arrange for some people to send them a free copy of the first newspaper every day after it is printed, so that they can pay more attention to the imperial court. Political affairs are still very necessary.”

After a pause, Zhu Zhanji said again: "The other thing is about the operation of the newspaper. Dad, do you remember what I told you before, about using newspapers to make money?"

Zhu Gaochi hadn't spoken yet, but Zhang, who was about to leave with the Persian cat in his arms when the two father and son were discussing business matters, paused when Zhu Zhanji said that the newspaper was profitable, and turned away with bright eyes He nodded and said: "I remember this, son, you said at the time that it was 200 million silver a year."

"You have a really good memory!"

Zhu Zhanji couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Zhang's opening.

Zhu Gaochi, who was on the side, heard Zhang's words, and complained to Zhu Zhanji: "Is it okay to have a bad memory? You asked your mother to give it to your uncle before you carried the bank note I gave her last time." After losing everything, your uncle still came to me and wanted money from me."

Zhu Zhanji: "..."

Do you have an uncle?

Several question marks appeared in Zhu Zhanji's mind.

And then a sly face with a goatee came to mind.

Immediately, he looked at Mrs. Zhang whose excited face cooled down instantly after hearing what the silly father said, and said a little speechlessly: "Mother, what dad said can't be true, right?"

This old lady can't be a brother-helping madman, can she?

He did remember who his so-called uncle was.

It's purely mud that can't support the wall.

Don't be incompetent, but relying on her own sister to become a princess, she has done a lot of mischief.

In order to know the nature of this uncle, Zhu Zhanji didn't say anything sarcastic about him because of his mother, but he never paid much attention to him.

He didn't expect that he would ignore him, but his old lady was very protective.

The last time he gave his old lady a silver note of 20 taels, he originally planned to honor this old lady.

My old lady is fine, so I gave it all directly.

Mrs. Zhang also knew that she was wrong when she heard the words, so she said in a low voice: "It's not that your uncle got a batch of Yanyin from somewhere, and said he planned to sell table salt, but who knew that Yanyin got it. But now suddenly there is a new kind of salt, fifty cents a catty, who will buy his old salt now."

"Cough cough..."

When Zhu Zhanji heard Zhang's words, he almost choked in his throat with a mouthful of saliva.

After the new salt came out, the Household Department Salt Yin did not cancel it, but because Zhu Zhanji was in charge of the new salt, the old Yan Yin naturally couldn't get the new salt, and could only still get the old salt.

However, compared to the high-quality new salt that costs fifty cents a catty, the old salt is not only expensive, but also tastes bad, so no one buys it.

It's just that he didn't expect that his cheap uncle would still treat Yan Yin as the same treasure as before.

He subconsciously looked at the silly father on the side, Zhu Gaochi saw his son's eyes, his eyes flickered, and whispered: "I didn't know that your uncle would go into the salt business, and he didn't tell your mother about the new salt. By the time you find out, it’s too late.”

Zhu Zhanji: "..."

Good guy.

Zhu Zhanji almost didn't know his stupid father.

Is this still the loyal and honest prince?
Seeing the flickering eyes of the silly father, how could Zhu Zhanji not guess that it must be the intention of his silly father.

With the nature of his uncle, this stupid father obviously wouldn't like it.

And if this uncle knows about Xinyan, he will definitely find the Prince's Mansion and find a way to get in through the back door.

So I didn't tell my mother at all, and after knowing that my mother invested the 20 taels of silver he gave, she didn't say a word.

It is estimated that even if he made up his mind to hurt himself three thousand, he would also cheat this uncle by eight hundred.

Anyway, the Prince's Mansion is not short of money now, and a few 10 taels of silver is nothing but a trivial matter.

But if Zhang can have a long memory, and then cheat this little brother-in-law by the way, the benefits will be obvious.

At least it can make Mrs. Zhang feel a little hesitant when helping this younger brother next time, and at the same time, he can have something to say when this brother-in-law comes to him next time.

These thoughts quickly flashed through Zhu Zhanji's mind, and he couldn't help giving his stupid father a thumbs up in his heart.

Taking 20 silver to cheat my brother-in-law, my stupid father and brother-in-law did it, I have to say, what he did was beautiful!
After all, he didn't like this uncle very much. If he hadn't considered his mother's feelings, he might have asked Zhang Mao to arrest him and serve him in the imperial prison.

But thinking that the 20 taels of silver is still for filial piety to his old mother, he feels a little speechless.

After all, the wool came from the sheep, and after going around and around, it was his son who paid the bill in the end.

Thinking of this, he looked at the somewhat sad old lady, and couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

Now things are very clear, the whole thing is actually the worst loss is my own mother.

And the one who made the most money was undoubtedly this stupid father, anyway, the 20 taels of silver would not fall into his pocket.

Looking at the seemingly innocent silly father, Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes, and whispered comfortingly in Zhang's ear, saying:
"Mom, it's okay, isn't it just 20 taels of silver, have you forgotten that vase that Dad likes the most?"

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhang's eyes lit up immediately, and said, "Yes, I'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me."

"Well, it's good to remember now."

Zhu Zhanji smiled.

"What are you two talking about?"

Zhu Gaochi watched his son approach Zhang's ear, comforted Zhang within two or three sentences, and asked curiously.

When Mrs. Zhang heard Zhu Gaochi's question, she raised her chin and hummed, "It's none of your business!"

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

Seeing that the silly father was a little depressed, Zhu Zhanji coughed dryly and said, "Ahem, father, I talked to my mother about using newspapers to make money. I plan to add a small section in the middle of the newspaper, which will be used to publish newspapers in the future." Some commodities, and then let those merchants pay some advertising fees."

Publish a product?

Make merchants pay for advertising?

Zhu Gaochi was a little confused when he heard the words, and couldn't understand the meaning of Zhu Zhanji's words.

Zhu Zhanji saw the blank look on his silly father's face, so he explained:
"Publishing products is to help merchants promote their own products. It's like wool. It's good and easy to use, but most of the people who know about it now are Yingtian or people near Yingtian."

"But newspapers are different. Newspapers are published to the entire Ming Dynasty. Once the newspapers are spread out, most people in the entire Ming Dynasty will see the newspapers. When they see the newspapers, they will see the products advertised in the newspapers. In this way Once it comes, this product can be widely advertised, and the simple name is advertisement.”

"But we can't advertise for those merchants in vain, so naturally, if they want to publish their products in newspapers, these merchants must pay a certain fee, which is the advertising fee."

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's explanation, Zhu Gaochi nodded in amazement, then hesitated and said: "The method is a good one, but it's just my son. If this is the case, will it make people feel that the newspaper has a little bit more money? Will it be censored? People don't like it?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head when he heard the words, knowing that the reason why his stupid father was worried was nothing more than fear that these things would affect the reputation of the newspaper, so he said:

"It's okay. It just so happens that the daily newspaper has been published for a while recently. The entertainment weekly newspaper I told you can actually be put on the agenda. We don't need to publish these things on the daily newspaper, but the weekly newspaper will be fine."
