Daming heir

Chapter 491 Brothers let go, drink together next year

A mouthful of boxes.

Goods worth 30 taels!

Gao Yangzhi and Bai Yuxiu looked at each other, and there was a strange look in the eyes of this pair of brothers from the same school.

"I never thought that my second brother is worth 30 taels."

Zhu Yunxi teased in a quiet tone, and the white jade wrench in his hand turned a little faster.

Bai Yuxiu smiled dryly and said in a low voice: "These people really don't spare a lot of money."

Just being a useless person, demoted as a useless person by His Majesty, and a family member who was expelled from the clan, can be so valued by Shanxi merchants, and they spend a lot of money to win them over.

These people are not out of kindness. They feel that the poor people are imprisoned in Fengyang City, the central capital, and their lives are not good, so they want to lend a helping hand.

"The picture is huge!"

The elder Xiao Gaoge made the final decision, with seriousness in the depths of his eyes.

Several people turned their attention to Zhu Yunxi, waiting for the final decision of the emperor grandson of the empire.

This matter is no longer simply a case of treachery and sycophancy, which can be explained by colluding with Bailian.

Since the third year of Hongwu, Shanxi merchants have obtained the power to control the Yanchi in the east of the river, and have the right to transport grain, grass and materials for hundreds of thousands of frontier troops in the nine border towns.It has been 25 years so far. When the world was in chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Shanxi merchants who were hurt have already recovered their vitality, and even went one step further.

With wealth in his hand, he has the power to control the stomachs of hundreds of thousands of frontier troops, and controls the entire Hedong Yanchi.

These merchants, who were originally among the scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants at the lowest level, in a sense, their status has surpassed the boundaries that they should not have.

Hundreds of thousands of frontier troops were involved.

How much did the Shanxi Dao Sansi Yamen and the entire Shanxi Dao local government participate in it?
Up and down, how many officials who originally belonged to the imperial court have been wooed and corrupted by Shanxi merchants who are as rich as enemies, and run around for them, covering them up and down.

In just a few years, in Fengyang City, the central capital, 30 taels of property could be invested in a destitute man who had lost all hope and authority.

I am afraid that these people have already managed the entire Shanxi Road into a country within a country!
Sun Cheng observed his words and expressions, and said in a low voice, "How should we deal with the property here?"

"Since it belongs to the second brother, it is natural to return it to the second brother."

Zhu Yunxi smiled lightly.

Sun Cheng froze for a moment, bowed his head and took a step back.

The spoiled man was picked out by the grandson from this matter with a single sentence lightly.

Gao Yangzhi bowed and said, "Does Your Highness want me to write a memorial and report it to His Majesty?"

Bai Yuxiu immediately cast her eyes on the elder brother.

It is a rare opportunity to see the memorial written by this senior brother of the same sect with his own eyes.

Above the court, there are many officials, each of whom has his own set of governance ideas, and their memorials can most directly reflect their political ideas.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Report to Yingtian."

"Then how to deal with the Shanxi Road matter..."

"Break the road to the vitality of Jin merchants in Shanxi Province!" Zhu Yunxi showed a cold expression between his brows, and said in a deep voice: "Report to Your Majesty, Shanxi Dao Jin merchants are in the middle system, which is not beneficial to the National University. The court should Large warehouses in Beiping Prefecture were added, and the grain and grass on Jiaozhi Road and Zhancheng Road were stored on Cantonese roads, and they were transferred to important towns on the Nine Frontiers for use by our Daming Frontier Army."

Gao Yangzhi nodded and said: "If we want to deal with Shanxi merchants in a stable manner, it is inevitable to continue to open the middle system at present. The establishment of a large warehouse in Beiping Prefecture, the imperial court can use the excuse to rectify the nine-sided army horses, and the imperial court plans to plan the Northern Expedition. For military use."

It is bound to be impossible for the transportation of tens of millions of stones of grain and grass to be done quietly.

With so much grain and grass being transported to Beiping Mansion, Shanxi merchants in Shanxi Province, who were in charge of supplying grain and grass to the Nine Frontier Army, must have received the news when the matter started.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes turned, Gao Yangzhi used the imperial court's preparations for the Northern Expedition as an excuse to cover up the addition of a large warehouse in the Beiping Mansion and replace it with Shanxi merchants, which should not be prudent.

He nodded and said: "Draft the memorial according to this."

"The minister obeys the order."

Gao Yangzhi bowed his head, cupped his fists, and then said: "Your Highness, I believe that if the chaos caused by Shanxi merchants is to be completely put down, the imperial court will also take back the Hedong Yanchi.

In recent years, Shanxi merchants have touched the Huaiyang Salt Field with their hands and feet.The addition of a large warehouse in Beiping Mansion will stop the disaster from affecting the frontier army.Banning the east and Huaiyang salt fields will cut off their sources of income.

When everything is ready, His Highness can order the army to encircle Shanxi Road, close the door and beat the dogs, and completely wipe out the treacherous and small people in Shanxi Road! "

This is a long program.

Zhu Yunxi tapped lightly on the armrest with his fingers, making a low and muffled sound.

After a long time, he just nodded and said, "Chunfeng holds the pen, this matter is all up to you."

Gao Yangzhi's eyes flickered.

Taking Shanxi Daoyi as the place of tempering, the matters related to the country that were scattered throughout the entire court were handed over to him in this way.

He took a deep breath, folded his hands and bent over: "This humble minister takes orders!"

Zhu Yunxi hummed, clapped his hands on the armrests, and propped himself up: "All matters in the central capital, I will leave it to my attendant to deal with, and the prefect of Fengyang will accompany me to the north."

Qiu Fengzhen, who was guarded by two Jinyiwei officers and soldiers, heard the sound of a hanging heart falling, but she was never able to settle down. Instead, she fell into an ice cellar, as if falling into a bottomless abyss.

I'm going to die.

The gang of officials in the imperial court accompanied the Taisun to the north for inspections, which was a sign of being reused.

I am a magistrate of Fengyang, the central capital, and I am called to accompany me to the north. This is to remove myself from the seat of Fengyang magistrate.

After I accompanied him to the north, could the seat in Fengyang Mansion still be vacant, waiting for me to come back and continue working?

It's just that no one cares about the gains and losses of the prefect of Fengyang in the officialdom.

Zhu Yunxi explained a few more words to Gao Yangzhi, then led Sun Cheng, took the box, and went to the courtyard where Zhu Yunqi was.

When Zhu Yunxi rushed to the gate of the courtyard, he saw that Zhu Yunqi had already lifted out a planer, holding some carpenter's tools in his hands, and was making some unidentifiable furniture.

bang.

The wooden box went back and forth, and was placed in Zhu Yunqi's sight by Sun Cheng's subordinates.

Zhu Yunqi, who was digging on a stick with a line drawn, couldn't help shaking his hands, and the sharp chisel slipped out of the line, chiseling out a large piece of sawdust.

He couldn't help frowning, and looked up at Zhu Yunxi who had also gone and returned.

"One penny is gone."

But he turned a blind eye to the wooden box that was clearly in sight.

Zhu Yunxi took a look, but sat straight on the wooden box.

He stretched his hand down and patted the wooden box: "Sun Cheng lightly touched this place just now, and there are no less than 30 taels of goods. It stands to reason that it should be sent to the Ministry of Households and charged into the national treasury.

It's just that it's not easy for you and your second sister-in-law to live here.The fields outside the city were meant to be given to you at the beginning, but you didn't want to be given away to the common people by your second brother.

Let's keep the money now, no matter what, it can be regarded as allowing the second sister-in-law to live a more decent life.

Furthermore, if the second elder brother distributes the money, the common people may not dare to accept it.Money touches people's hearts, if the common people take these things, they will only invite death. "

Not to mention those Jiaozi that need to be exchanged at Shanxi merchants' money shops, but those priceless treasures.

But ordinary people hold it in their hands.

Unless it never leaks out.

If not, you won't be able to stay the next day.

It may even lead to the disaster of killing one's body and destroying one's family.

Zhu Yunwen let out a long sigh: "Why did His Highness Taisun do this..."

"It can be regarded as compensation for the imperial court not paying attention to the imperial city of Zhongdu in the past few years."

Zhu Yunxuan explained in a soft voice, but his eyes were on the chipped piece of wood under Zhu Yunxuan's hand.

"What is this for?"

Speaking of his carpentry work, Zhu Yunwen's eyes were obviously bright.

At this time, Qiuniang, who was doing housework in the house, had already come out with herbal tea pot and tea bowl.

Qiu Niang smiled and said very warmly: "Your Highness, please have some tea."

"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law."

Zhu Yunxi thanked him by the way.

Qiu Niang poured a cup of herbal tea for each of them, put them on the table beside her, and without leaving much, she turned around and went back into the room.

Zhu Yunxi took a sip of herbal tea, staring straight at Zhu Yunqi.

It seemed a little uncomfortable to be stared at.

Zhu Yunxuan lowered his head and looked at the chipped wood with pity: "This was originally a rocking chair ordered by the old man Zhang's family on the east side of the city. The old man's family has added grandchildren in the past two years, and the old man stopped working, so he thought about it." Get grandchildren, get a rocking chair, and move a few wisterias in the yard."

As he spoke, he already put the chipped piece of wood aside, and took another piece of wood of the same size that had already been planed and placed it on the table.Holding the ink fountain and charcoal pencil on the side, I am about to redraw the line.

Zhu Yunxi silently watched and observed from the side.

It's just that in just a few years, Zhu Yunqi's hands are no longer as delicate as when they grew up in the court.

The skin color is darker and more vicissitudes.

There are also some darker calluses between the belly of the fingers and the palm.

Mostly because of working all the time, the fingers are thicker and the palms are bigger.

It's been a long time.

Only then did Zhu Yunxi realize that Zhu Yunqi had grown stronger in the past two years.

Everything in front of him was not just pretending by Zhu Yunqi knowing that he was coming to Fengyang.

This is how he came over these years.

The hammer head hit the top of the chisel, Zhu Yunwen's hand firmly grasped the chisel, and the chisel head went down into the wood like cutting tofu.

Without seeing how Zhu Yunqi's hand moved, the sawdust was cut in a neat shape within the range of the line.

"Wen Sheng and Fu Ling are now raised by Grandpa in Qianqing Palace."

"The old man didn't do other things all day long. If we hadn't stopped him, he would have changed the diapers for the two of them himself."

"If you have free time, the second brother can also make a rocking chair for grandpa."

"When the time comes, call someone, just send it to Yingtian."

Zhu Yunxi spoke softly.

The carpentry work, which was still bang bang bang bang, stopped in Zhu Yunqi's hands.

He raised his head to look at Zhu Yunxi who was watching him quietly, his eyes became a little difficult.

After half a sound.

Zhu Yunqi nodded heavily.

"I will start to make it tomorrow. There are some good wood in the imperial city, and I need..."

Zhu Yunxi raised his hand and said, "In the future, regarding the use of materials, the second brother can just tell the people in the Imperial City of Zhongdu, and they will make arrangements for the second brother."

Zhu Yunwen nodded and paused.

He never thought that he would have the day to see this half-brother in front of him again.

I never imagined that we could have such a peaceful conversation after meeting.

It never occurred to me that everything that happened at the beginning seems to have disappeared like misty rain in the mountains with the rising of the sun.

"when are you leaving?"

Zhu Yunqi thought for a while, and finally asked a question.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Today we are paying homage to Duke Xin, and at the moment the Bailian Sect members are being wiped out in the city. The rest of the finishing work will be handed over to the Jinyiwei Supervisor. Tomorrow, we will leave for the Governor's Yamen of Henan River Road."

"I'm leaving tomorrow..." Zhu Yunwen's face was in a trance for no reason, and there was even more imperceptible sadness. He shook his head and said, "The state affairs should be the most important thing. I read the residence report a few days ago. I want you to stay outside for about a year, north to the Nine Sides. I heard that it is very dangerous there, and now it is becoming more and more uneasy, so I hope you will be safe."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and looked at Zhu Yunqi: "Second brother, what else do you want to say?"

Zhu Yunwen shook his head: "I wanted to go out of the city with Qiuniang tomorrow, find some wild game outside the city and farmers' homes, and let Qiuniang cook a few dishes in the evening, and then go to a restaurant in the west city to have a few drinks, and you..."

Zhu Yunxi immediately said: "If the second brother wants to do this, he can leave at a later date."

"No, no, no." Zhu Yunxuan shook his head again and again: "When you finish your northern tour next year and go south to return to Beijing, you can also pass through Fengyang. At that time, you must send a letter in advance, so that Qiuniang and I can prepare food and drinks in advance."

"Then this glass of wine will have to wait for a long time."

Zhu Yunxi said lightly, but there was a sincere smile between his brows.

Zhu Yunwen said casually: "You are not old, there are wine shops, and there is a time for drinking."

At this moment, Zhu Yunqi was calm and relaxed like never before.

Zhu Yunxi stared at him seriously, finally nodded and said: "Alright, I will come to Fengyang next year and drink this pot of wine with my second brother!"

……

In the middle of the night, the moon is bright, and the sky is full of stars.

Insects that have not penetrated into the soil in summer are still retaining their last noise to this world.

The window paper let the moonlight into the house.

In the small but clean back room, on the bed, Zhu Yunwen leaned on the pillow.

Beside him, Qiuniang frowned slightly.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the window sill at the foot of the bed, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and looked at the dark shadow of the palace wall outside the window.

"Erro."

"Ok?"

"Why did that box come back to our house?"

"..."

Zhu Yunwen closed his mouth, turned his head to look at Qiuniang who was resting on his arm, with a smile on his face: "That's a bride price for you."

Bang.

There was a muffled sound in Zhu Yunqi's chest.

"Not serious!" Qiuniang frowned and pointed her nose: "I saw that there are a lot of treasures in it, and there are a lot of money notes. Is it really okay to keep so much money at home?"

Zhu Yunwen nodded, then shook his head again.

Qiuniang raised her head and looked at the man who belonged to her.

It took Zhu Yunwen a long time before he spoke again.

"The third child is really different now."

"It is a blessing for the country to have him."

"It's just the glass of wine that I agreed with him, and I don't know when I can drink it..."
