Chapter 108 Zhu Yuanzhang: I am making money this trip

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had arrived at the border of Fujian Road.

There are tens of thousands of people accompanying the army.

The team is huge!

There is no way, the entire center of the Ming Dynasty is all here.

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and the Queen.

In addition, there are left and right prime ministers, civil and military officials!

With so many people, of course someone needs to protect them.

In fact, the emperor would spend a lot of money on such a mighty parade.

Many ministers also criticized this.

Even some old ministers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang throughout his career also advised Zhu Yuanzhang.

And he came from Jinling, where he kept on admonishing him all the way.

On this day, Li Shanchang and others found Zhu Yuanzhang again and advised: "Your Majesty, we have traveled thousands of miles and spent a month. Along the way, we have spent about ten thousand yuan every day. However, the Ministry of Household Affairs Over there, they have long said that the national treasury is empty. Expenditures everywhere this year are stretched thin, but they are still spending so much money. If this continues, how will the national treasury support it?"

"Yes, please ask the Imperial Master to return to the court!"

"At this time, the class teacher can still stop the loss."

The ministers gave advice one after another.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little unhappy and said: "We have already reached the Lingnan border. You want me to go back now? Prime Minister Zuo, do you think so too?"

"My minister Hu Weiyong also feels that the emperor should not spend so much, wasting the people and money. Since ancient times, no benevolent emperor would spend so extravagantly when the country is in difficulty. However, Emperor Sui Yang liked to go to Yangzhou, but in the end..." Hu Weiyong He is also very courageous.

In front of everyone, he even dared to say such things to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened.

This Hu Weiyong has become increasingly pampered since he became Prime Minister Zuo.

Did he really think that since he was the leader of hundreds of officials, he would dare to say anything?
"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang flicked his sleeves, and said with a cold face: "Prime Minister Zuo means that I, like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, is the same as the king of subjugation?"

"I don't dare!" Hu Weiyong said respectfully quickly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, Hu Weiyong is loyal to the Ming Dynasty. As long as I am here, I will ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty!"

What do you mean?
The collaborator, Ming Dynasty, was still blessed by you, Hu Weiyong?

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "That's great! Since Prime Minister Zuo has such magical powers, please solve the current difficulties in the treasury!"

"Your Majesty, I also think so, but the matter of the treasury is actually a matter of ice and water and cannot be solved overnight." Hu Weiyong's response was rather empty talk.

"How long do you need?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Hu Weiyong fell silent.

This matter cannot be agreed to casually.

The key is that if you promise but fail to do so, then you are deceiving the emperor.

Seeing that Hu Weiyong stopped talking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the others and asked loudly: "Which of you can replace Prime Minister Zuo and solve this matter? If you can solve it, then I will return to the court now. So, which warrior will stand up? ?”

No one among the civil and military officials dared to stand up and say that they had a solution.

Seeing so many people, they were all stunned. Hu Weiyong bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, can it be said that going to Lingnan can solve the problem of the treasury?"

"of course."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed again at this time. He laughed and said: "When we get to Lingnan, if nothing else, I will definitely make back all the expenses for this tour! And I won't accompany you if you make money. You guys, just After arriving at Panyu Mansion, everyone will have an eye-opening experience!" The officials withdrew.

However, everyone's heart beats a drum.

Is the emperor's words true or false?
This tour has already cost 30 guan.

Although it is said that due to the depreciation of treasure banknotes, the money actually spent was not that much, but after calculation, one hundred thousand silver must have been spent by now.

In addition, there are the expenses to go to Lingnan, and the expenses to stay in Lingnan for a period of time and then return to Jinling... Calculated in this way, at least 50 taels of silver are definitely needed.

With such a huge amount of money, someone actually pays for it?

Moreover, what the emperor said is guaranteed profit without loss.

That means those who pay will give more money.

In fact, everyone can guess who paid the bill.

Because, the place to go is Lingnan.

And Lingnan is the territory of King Qin.

Is King Qin so rich?
It's so easy to spend millions of silver?
Although it is said that the last time Zhu Xi returned to Beijing to congratulate Zhu Yuanzhang on his birthday, it was indeed a generous act.

But, after all, that kind of thing only happens once a year.

So everyone didn't believe that Zhu Xi could still get so much money this time.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was very confident. After he sent everyone away, he went to Empress Ma and said: "These ministers are really careless. I have already said that this patrol will definitely not cause the treasury to lose money, but they still pay I don’t believe it. Hmph! When we get to Panyu Mansion, we have to ask the second child to open their eyes.”

"Do you believe in Ping'er so much now?"

Queen Ma rolled her eyes and said: "I don't know who it was before, but when it came to the second son of the family, he always looked disdainful. No matter what Ping'er did, the father always poured cold water on him, thinking that he was not good enough. !”

"Queen, how can we talk about the past things now? You also know how ridiculous the second child was in the past!" Zhu Yuanzhang said helplessly.

Empress Ma said angrily: "You don't want him to marry Wang Minmin? With Wang Minmin's status, if you ask him to get married, it's tantamount to... alas!"

"What is it?" Seeing that Queen Ma suddenly couldn't speak any more, Zhu Yuanzhang asked instead.

When he asked this question, Empress Ma couldn't help but sigh, "At that time, Chen'er probably thought that you didn't value him and blocked his path to becoming a prince, so he gave up on himself... Speaking of which, We have to be grateful to Tian De. If he hadn’t given birth to a good daughter and made our prodigal son turn around, you wouldn’t have so much money to spend today!”

"Speaking of this matter, it's a blessing in disguise."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered: "Queen, look at this time we went to Lingnan, why don't we just let the second child get married to that girl Miaoyun? It's been a few months, Tiande and his daughter have been living in Prince Qin's Mansion, It sounds like we are like a family, why are we waiting for the Chinese Valentine's Day!"

"I have no objection!" Queen Ma naturally would not object.

So, Zhu Yuanzhang began to think about arranging a marriage for Zhu Cang again.

At this time, Zhu Xi and Zhu Biao were on their way to Huizhou Mansion.

After leaving Panyu Prefecture, there is a newly built highway that leads directly to Huizhou Prefecture.

When the car was driving on the road, Zhu Biao was filled with emotion: "Second brother, this is much more comfortable than riding on the original road in a carriage!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xi had a look of disdain: "How comfortable are you? My butt hurts from sitting! Alas, we still have to get the plane out of the way quickly!"

airplane!

This is quite far away.
