King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Senseless.

Completely confused.

This and this made Jin Zhong speechless, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Ta-ta-ta.
At this moment, Jinda, who had been on guard and guarding the door, saw King Han leaving and quickly came to the palace out of curiosity. He wanted to ask what was going on with his father and the purpose of King Han's visit.

When he saw his normally calm-looking father came into view, he was in a daze, which made him become even more curious, and subconsciously asked:

"Daddy."

"What's wrong with you?"

"What happened?"

"Don't scare your son!"

Hearing the familiar words coming from his ears, the dazed Jin Zhong trembled in vain, pulling his thoughts back from his wandering thoughts, and turned to look at his son who had a worried face and an expression full of worry. He took a deep breath, waved his hand and said:

"No problem."

"I have nothing to worry about."

Seeing his father coming back to his senses, Jinda glanced at him and asked cautiously:

"father"

"What is the purpose of Prince Han's sudden visit today?"

"What words did I say to you that could actually make you behave like this!"

Hearing this, Jin Zhong's expression suddenly turned cold, his half-lidded eyes suddenly opened, he glared at him fiercely, and scolded:
"It's better not to ask if you shouldn't ask."

"There are some things that knowing too much about is not good for you. It will do you no good at all."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, reached out and patted Jinda's shoulder gently, and continued:

"Order someone to prepare."

"I'm leaving immediately. I need to go to the Prince's Mansion to confirm some things."

Say it.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and strode out of the hall.

Seeing the figure disappearing at the door, Jin Da recovered from his daze in an instant. Although he didn't know what happened, and Jin Zhong didn't tell him clearly, it remains to be seen how smart and sharp he is. When his father showed such an expression, there was no doubt that something big had happened.

Immediately, he did not dare to linger at all, and hurriedly ran all the way outside the main hall, and began to arrange his father's instructions just now.

Yingtianfu, Street.

Among the galloping luxury carriages, Zhu Gaoxu leaned against the window rails of the carriage, looking through the gauze curtains with half-squinted eyes at the people walking back and forth on the street. The expression on his face changed from time to time, sometimes solemn, sometimes entangled, and sometimes heroic. , the extremely vivid appearance also highlights and indicates that the thoughts and emotions in his heart are very unstable now.

There is no other reason.

Don't look at what Zhu Gaoxu said when he faced Jin Zhong in Jin Mansion, he looked relaxed and easy.

In fact, how can it be so simple to do this!
In addition to the ease of compiling textbooks, there are three other fatal issues raised by Jin Zhong.

There is nothing that can be written and done easily.

"Hey"

After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu came back to his senses. He frowned and sighed helplessly, murmuring in a low voice:

"never mind."

"Let's first think about how to make money continuously."

"In the beginning of all problems, colleges, private schools, etc. must be established first."

"If not, even if everything is sorted out, it's just empty talk if we don't have enough money to support everything."

Not long after.

In the imperial study room of the imperial palace.

Zhu Gaoxu was leaning on the Grand Master's chair, with his eyes half-closed and his brows furrowed, looking at the messy memorial in front of him, and he picked it up casually and read the contents of the memorial.

Most of the contents of the memorial are reports on trivial matters in the court, as well as various excerpts about the financial and food arrangements and planning that supported Emperor Yongle's expedition to Mobei.

Although the Ming Dynasty abolished the prime minister system during the Hongwu period.

However, in a certain sense, the function of prime minister has always existed in other forms.

It's just that the names of the functions were different, and it evolved into the current cabinet form, with many more people working together, so that one person no longer has the overall power.

It can be regarded as dividing the power of the prime minister, and in a sense, it can be regarded as strengthening the imperial power.

As for the contents of the memorial, many of them have been reviewed by the cabinet ministers.

The opinions and suggestions that should be given have been marked in the memorial.

All he needs to do is take a cursory look to see if there is anything wrong with it or if there is anything that needs to be changed.

If there are no problems, you only need to sign and seal it.

Of course, if you have any questions, you can also write your own opinions or send the memorial back to the cabinet, so that the ministers can discuss it again and then submit it to him.

It is undeniable.

This approach makes the people on the dragon throne feel a lot more relaxed. They don't have to worry about so many things, and they don't have to expend so much energy. They can do more things and take charge of the overall layout.

After flipping through the memorials in front of me a few times, I was always absent-minded and seemed to be a little uninterested. I couldn't calm down my thoughts completely. I really didn't have the heart to deal with government affairs.

The reason is because he has something on his mind.

Things are also very simple.

His mind was almost completely filled with the words making money and making money.

Judging from the current statistics, if the entire Ming Dynasty wants to expand the pie he just drew for Jin Zhong in the Jin Mansion, it will cost an astronomical amount of silver, and it will also require a steady stream of subsequent investment.

This is completely not something that the Ming Dynasty's treasury can do today.

Rao is what he considers to be a good money maker.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, he dared to say that he was second, but no one dared to recognize the posture of being first, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

Making money is actually not difficult at all.

After all, Zhu Gaoxu has a way of cutting leeks and making quick money better than anyone else.

Let's just say that the old man's 'little treasury' can be opened and used whenever he wants.

But the question is does it work?
It's just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

After all, it was nothing more than a one-time deal, and it couldn't meet what he wanted or meet his expectations.

As far as the Ming Dynasty's treasury and finance are concerned, only by finding a way to continuously lay eggs and fill the emptiness of the Ming Dynasty's treasury can the reform path he described before be implemented in a true sense and be sustained.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu casually threw the memorial in his hand on the desk, with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face, and he fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu, who was leaning on the soft couch, suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

Hmm. It doesn’t seem impossible!

In an instant, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly sat up from the Grand Master's chair, with a faint smile on his face, and shouted loudly outside the hall:
"Here comes someone."

"Hurry and send an order to Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, and the Crown Prince of the East Palace to come to the imperial study to discuss matters with this king."

"promise!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant waiting quietly at the door quickly bowed and responded.

After that, he quickly disappeared at the gate. Not long after, Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, and the Crown Prince, who had received the summons order, came in from outside the palace panting and looking urgent.

"Second child"

"Why are you so crazy?"

"I was summoned urgently. Did something big happen?"

The prince who came over saw Zhu Gaoxu, who was pacing back and forth in the center of the hall with his hands behind his hands, breathing heavily and with a hint of anxiety in his expression, so he asked the doubts in his heart.

No wonder he was so solemn.

The main reason is that before entering the palace, Jin Zhong, the Minister of War, visited him, told him the reason for Zhu Gaoxu's visit, and asked for his opinion.

Before he had time to express his opinion, he received a summons from his second son and hurriedly summoned him to the palace.

Thinking of Jin Zhong's words and matching the second child's behavior.

How could he not be solemn or anxious?
Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing with his hands behind his back and pacing back and forth, listened to the familiar voice of inquiry in his ears, which pulled him back from his wandering thoughts. He pointed at the Taishi chair that had been prepared for the two of them and said in a deep voice:

"Boss, Old Man Xia, you are all here!"

"Okay, everyone, sit down!"

Afterwards, he also moved his Taishi chair down from the high platform, placed it in front of the two of them, sat on it, and continued:

"It's really a big deal."

"It's not urgent to say it's urgent, it's not urgent to say it's not urgent."

"Mainly because of this matter, I feel a little uneasy. I don't dare to give my opinion alone. I also want to hear your opinions."

This statement came out.

The two people, who were very tired after coming in a hurry, couldn't help but give Zhu Gaoxu a hard look, feeling very speechless in their hearts.

What the hell!

It's not urgent to say it's urgent, it's not urgent to say it's not urgent.

So is this urgent or not?
However, as long as he comes, he will be at ease. Even though he has come, he knows Zhu Gaoxu's character of not being stingy with sex, so he simply doesn't bother to argue with him, and instead asks:
"Second child"

"You can tell me what's going on."

"Don't hide it here, we are all here."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but look at Xia Yuanji, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, who was sitting half-assed on the Taishi chair, and pointed at the pile of memorials in front of him, with a hint of helplessness in his words, and said:

"The boss, old man Xia."

"You two also know the situation of our Ming Dynasty treasury."

"I met such a father who cheated his son."

"Yesterday, old man Xia cried about poverty in front of me again, hinting to me overtly and covertly that the treasury was empty and there was no money."

"I have finally understood this matter. The government is handled by the cabinet. It seems that the old man recommended me to be the supervisor of the country. I made some changes according to my own wishes. The only thing that can be implemented is to find a way to do it myself. money."

"Do you think so?"

Say it.

Zhu Gaochi and Xia Yuanji glanced back at each other subconsciously, with a hint of embarrassment on their faces, and a feeling of emotion arose in their hearts.

you do not say!

The second bastard finally came to his senses belatedly.

But knowing it in your heart is one thing, and how you say it is another.

Although everyone knows it well, they cannot say it straightforwardly.

After a short silence, Zhu Gaochi glanced at him, stretched out his hand to spare his head, and responded:
"Second child"

"This, this, this"

For a long time, the prince didn't hold back a single useful word.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but that after thinking about it, he doesn't know how to answer this question.

That’s too straightforward!

There is also some hurtful self-esteem, and I am afraid that the second child will just give up the job.

Let’s be subtle!

Based on his understanding of Lao Er and his lecherous character, there is no chance that he would dig another trap for him. The old man would trick Lao Er, and Lao Er would take the opportunity to trick him again.

After all, Xia Yuanji didn't know, but he knew what the second brother had said to Jin Zhong today.

Naturally, we understand where Zhu Gaoxu's sense of urgency comes from and why he said such words.

Seeing this situation, how could Zhu Gaoxu not guess what the prince was thinking?
I don't bother to argue with this matter.

Immediately, he glanced at Zhu Gaochi, waved his hand and said:
"okay."

"Boss, don't get entangled or worried."

"With the life you are living in the East Palace, I have no intention of asking you to pay for those three melons and two dates."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Xia Yuanji, who was silent and slightly nervous and embarrassed, and continued:
"Old Man Xia"

"Don't worry, I have no intention of asking you to pay."

"Speaking of which, you can't afford much."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi and Xia Yuanji couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

It's not that the two of them are making a fuss, it's mainly that Zhu Gaoxu looked at the two of them with resentful and meaningful eyes just now. Coupled with such words and characters, how could the two of them not be nervous?

"The second brother, Prince Han"

"What are you going to do?"

"What kind of cooperation do we need?"

Feeling the eyes falling on him, Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, his eyes narrowed involuntarily, and he said:
"After yesterday's gathering, I couldn't eat well, and I couldn't sleep well."

"Luckily, Huang Tian has paid off."

"I have thought of two ways, both of which can last for a long time. It can be said to be a chicken that lays golden eggs. Why don't I call you two over to discuss this."

A chicken that can 'lay golden eggs' for a long time?
Hearing this, both the Crown Prince and Xia Yuanji were shocked. Their lowered heads suddenly raised, their eyes looked straight over, their faces were full of unbelievable astonishment, and subconsciously He asked:

"The second son, Prince Han."

"Is this true?"

"Is there really such a way?"

"Come on, come on, tell us what method we are going to use. Come and tell us. Let's hear it."

Say it.

The two of them looked at Zhu Gaoxu with eagerness and curiosity.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu didn't say much. He handed the two plans he had compiled and prepared before them and said in a deep voice:
"The method has been laid out above."

"But...it's just some of my preliminary plans."

"You two should take a look and see if there is anything that needs to be changed, or if you have any good suggestions or different opinions, you can discuss it together." (End of Chapter)
