Chapter 176 Zhu Yuanzhang’s thoughts and Zhu Di’s little actions
Anyone who can make money is at best a successful businessman.

After all, he is just a wealthy businessman.

Throughout the ages, there have been many wealthy families.

2000 years ago, there was Tao Zhugong.

Shen Wansan is nearby.

However, in the eyes of those in power, especially powerful emperors like Zhu Yuanzhang, what use could a wealthy businessman be?

He's just an opportunistic businessman.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that if he could make money, and could also make the people around him rich, or even help many people earn a lot of money, and benefit the village, then such a person would be considered to have real ability.

Zhu Xi is undoubtedly such a person.

He doesn't just make his own money.

Moreover, he will let his people make money with him.

Those wealthy businessmen under their hands are all extremely rich.

But what makes Zhu Yuanzhang feel incredible is that no matter how rich they are, these businessmen under Zhu Yuanzhang are very loyal to Zhu Yuan, and as long as Zhu Yuan asks for their money, they will almost give them as much as they want!

This is not Zhu Yuanzhang's random imagination.

He has seen it with his own eyes.

In fact, it is not just the businessmen, but also the people of Lingnan.

As long as they heard that King Qin was short of money, everyone would donate very enthusiastically.

How difficult is it to do this?
Just look at the Ming Dynasty and you will know!
Let’s talk about the distant one first.

Zhu Xi is a time traveler, and he knows the history of the Ming Dynasty's subjugation.

At that time, Chongzhen was the emperor.

What state had the Ming Dynasty reached at that time?

It has reached the point where it is suffering from internal and external troubles and is willing to destroy the country at every turn.

However, the emperor Chongzhen was as poor as his pants.

He didn't kill the thief unintentionally.

However, even the tens of thousands of taels of military expenditure, Chongzhen couldn't get it together.

Moreover, the court has reached such a stage that King Chuang is about to rush into the capital to destroy the Ming Dynasty. However, those princes who have received favors from Taizu and have been granted various titles are all members of the Ming Dynasty clan, and even they have no money. He also refused to come out.

Let alone someone else?

Let's talk a little closer.

Just say now.

Zhu Yuanzhang's life was difficult.

After the issuance of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, Zhu Yuanzhang, a face-saving emperor, also began to spend a lot of money.

He gave rewards to ministers, ranging from tens of thousands to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

At that time, he didn't know what inflation was.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang knows!

But what's the use?
The money has already been given away.

You see, Zhu Yuanzhang is having such a hard time now because of the inflation problem. Is there any courtier or noble who came to Zhu Yuanzhang and said that he wanted to donate money to the court or provide financial support to Zhu Yuanzhang?

No.

There is no one!
Looking at Zhu Xi, he didn't even need to speak.

The wealthy businessmen under him were almost rushing to spend money for him!

This is the gap.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood at this time was very complicated.

First of all, I was shocked by Zhu Ping's methods of using people.

Then I felt that the methods of my second son were a bit scary!
In the end, I feel a little bit of... admiration and even envy for Zhu Ping to be treated like this and to have such loyalty from his subordinates.

Yes, Zhu Yuanzhang already admired Zhu Xi's son.

Of course, I admire my son, which is a bit nonsense.

This admiration will turn into... pride!
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little proud of Zhu Ping.

"Pang'er can make money, develop the place, and employ people..."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt for the first time that he had been wrong before.

Among these sons, the one who can best succeed him should be the second eldest son!

However, this son is too capable.

Now even I am a little unsure.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang once said that he would make Zhu Chong the prince to replace Zhu Biao, who was in poor health.

But what did Zhu Xi say?

He doesn't do it!
Then Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing to do with him.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang is still thinking, is it because he didn't like the second son before, but now the second son is still angry, and then he deliberately pulls it off and doesn't want to be the prince?While he was thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Lao Si standing aside.

King Zhu Di of Yan.

He is also the current prince who oversees the country.

"Cough cough."

Zhu Yuanzhang kissed his throat.

These days, Zhu Yuanzhang has not gone to court on the grounds of King Qin's wedding.

I didn't even see those ministers.

Of course, just because Zhu Yuanzhang does not go to court or meet these ministers does not mean that he will relax his control on power.

Therefore, Jin Yiwei's activities in the capital are the most frequent these days.

As if speaking for Zhu Yuanzhang: "Everyone, please behave, be honest, and don't act recklessly during this period!"

Therefore, even though Zhu Yuanzhang is sitting in a deep palace, he knows much more about the affairs of the capital than the storyteller in the teahouse.

For example, today the censor took a concubine into his house.

A head of the Household Department married his fourth concubine two days ago.

And there is...

How did Zhu Di, in the past few days, move around, persuading or ordering the officials of the six ministries to bite the bullet?

Zhu Yuanzhang only listened to other people's family affairs.

But Zhu Yuanzhang watched Zhu Di's actions very closely.

It happened that father and son met.

Looking at Zhu Di, his expression was not very good.

This is natural.

because……

Originally, he should be the groom today!

This is Zhu Xi's second marriage.

What's annoying is that the second marriage also robbed him of Zhu Di's wife.

How could this make Zhu Di happy?

If Zhu Di's previous temperament was based on, no matter how Zhu Yuanzhang warned him today, he would not be so honest and willing to be humiliated.

But it's different now.

His identity is different.

Zhu Di is now the prince of the prison country!
This is the springboard for entering the East Palace!

As long as you perform well, after a period of time, you can officially enter the East Palace and become the prince.

That is the supreme position!
For his own ambition, even though his head felt green, Zhu Di still held back.

At this time, seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Zhu Di quickly pretended to be very happy and exchanged glasses with the people around him.

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted quietly: "Fourth!"

"Father!"

Zhu Di had sharp ears, mainly because he was ready and waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to call him.

"Come here." Zhu Yuanzhang waved.

He is the emperor.

Who dares to sit with him?

At this time, Queen Ma happened to go to see her daughter-in-law who had just entered the house, so Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one across the curtain.

Zhu Di opened the curtain and came in. He stood aside respectfully and said, "Father, today the second emperor brother is getting married. I am also very happy. I helped the second emperor brother accompany these ministers and drank a lot!" "

"Of course you should be happy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang praised: "You two are brothers from the same mother. Blood is thicker than water, you know? I ask you, have all the expenditure problems of various ministries been solved?"

"Go back to Father, everything has been resolved!" Zhu Di said.

"Ok!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Then, there shouldn't be any thunderstorms before the end of the year, right?"

"Absolutely not!"

Zhu Di seemed to be very confident. In fact, he had confidence in taxation, so in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he patted his chest and said, "If anything goes wrong, the emperor just ask the sons and ministers!"

Of course, Zhu Di actually had other preparations.

Before the end of the year, he, the prince who oversees the country, must prevent financial problems from erupting. This is what he must do.

Therefore, Zhu Di has secretly added an extra tax to his fiefdom, Yandi.

He was also afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on.
