King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Royal study room.

Wait until the officials leave.

The hall fell silent instantly, and the two brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi looked at each other.

After a moment, Zhu Gaochi withdrew his gaze, raised his eyebrows, with a faint smile on his face, turned to look at King Han next to him, and said:
"Second child"

"It's just us two brothers. Leave me alone here. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Don't leave me here, hesitating and urging, this is not your style."

Feeling the eyes looking at him, Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a long time, his expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"Boss"

"Let us brothers say something from the bottom of our hearts."

"Now, if your government mobilizes all resources and saves all expenses, how much money can you collect?"

Zhu Gaochi: "???"

What?
What does this bastard mean?
Is this because the Ministry of Internal Affairs has its sights on the old man and is unwilling to satisfy his appetite?

Why bother to leave him here, a famous poor man in the Ming Dynasty got some oil and water from his body?

And as for the question, who in the court doesn't know that the prince's residence is the most unattractive place?
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi's pupils shrank subconsciously, his face showed a hint of vigilance, and he took several steps back unconsciously and asked:

"Second brother, what do you mean?"

"I'm telling you, don't even think about me."

"It's not like you don't know what's going on in the prince's residence, but there isn't much money in it."

"And all the expenses in the house are taken care of by your sister-in-law."

"As for your sister-in-law's virtues, I don't need to introduce you too much. You know it better than anyone else, right?"

"As for the silver, even if I have the heart to be afraid, I can't do anything. I don't dare to ask for money from your sister-in-law."

"It's true that even if I dare to speak, I won't be able to deduct anything from you. I will definitely not live a good life for a long time."

"Please put this matter aside immediately."

"I still want my ears to be clean for two days, so don't try to harm me."

"so."

The rest of the words are unfinished.

But everyone is smart, how could Zhu Gaoxu not understand what he meant.

Of course, what the prince said was true.

Zhu Gaoxu knew very well what was going on with his sister-in-law, the Crown Princess of the Ming Dynasty.

Don't look at it from the outside, Zhu Gaochi is the prince who has all the power in the government and the public, and one person is less powerful than ten thousand people. But once he returns home, he returns to the mansion.

In an instant, all the aggressiveness is restrained, transforming from a wolf king into a smiling husky.

Facing the Crown Princess, I dare not even say a few harsh words.

It can be said to be quite henpecked.

However, this seems to have always been a fine tradition of their Lao Zhu family. From the beginning of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, it seems that the men of their Lao Zhu family have more or less extraordinary respect for the main wife who is married by the Ming matchmaker in the family.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was silent, the prince's expression changed and he continued to speak:
"Second dick!"

"In this matter, the household department and the old man's small treasury have a real amount of 70 to 80 million taels of silver. Isn't it enough for you to make any plans or plans?"

"Just think of yourself as a good person and don't make things difficult for me, old brother. Is it okay to be considerate of me?"

"Thank you."

After hearing this, I saw the prince who was having a feast.

Zhu Gaoxu took a few deep breaths, and the solemn expression on his face did not diminish by half. He shook his head and said:

"Boss, do you think I'm deliberately making things difficult for you and want to deduct money from you?"

"Seventy or eighty million taels of silver is a lot?"

"You don't naively think that this little money can really do it?"

"what?"

"What do you mean?"

"Isn't seventy or eighty million taels of silver enough?"

"Then you just...?"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi's expression was startled, his pupils shrank subconsciously, he looked at Zhu Gaochi with a look of surprise, and then asked rhetorically.

In response, Zhu Gaoxu raised his eyebrows, his voice became extremely solemn, and said:
"Under normal circumstances, absolutely is enough."

"But it does not rule out abnormal circumstances."

"After all, in our world, there are not only Tatars and Oaras who are eyeing us from outside."

"There is still a White Lotus sect within who likes to incite public opinion to rebel and stab people in the back."

"Have you forgotten the previous incident about the White Lotus Sect's traitor?"

"It's enough to show that these bastards have never given up their desire to destroy our Ming Dynasty. They have been dormant in the dark, trying to tear a hole in our country and the country of the Ming Dynasty."

"Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes and gold, silver and copper coins are exchanged. Once the White Lotus Sect is in the middle to fan the evil wind and light the will-o'-the-wisp, if the amount exchanged exceeds the reserve fund we have prepared, you can imagine what consequences this will bring. ?”

"It will inevitably turn a good thing into a bad thing, causing people all over the world to feel panic and unrest."

"The credibility of the Ming Dynasty will be completely reduced to freezing point."

"If we want to improve our credibility in the future, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money and how much time it will take to accumulate it."

"So...we have to take precautions and must be well prepared."

"Otherwise, this matter will not save the Ming Dynasty, nor the Ming Dynasty treasures, but will push the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty treasures into the endless abyss, causing the court to alienate the people."

"So, boss, you should know that it's not my younger brother who is embarrassing you, but everything is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the country of my old Zhu family."

This statement came out.

Like a thunder, it exploded in the hall.

As a result, Zhu Gaochi, who was originally complaining and vigilant, suddenly changed his face and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

At this moment.

He finally understood why the second child asked him for money.

Why do you keep saying that 70 to 80 million silver taels is not enough?

In the final analysis, the reason is here.

In this matter, he didn't think that the second child was being alarmist.

The White Lotus Sect can completely accomplish this.

Over the years, the White Lotus Sect's mind has been dormant and secretly causing harm, and things have happened from time to time.

After a brief moment of silence, Zhu Gaochi seemed to have thought of something. His half-closed eyes suddenly opened and he said:
"Second brother..."

"This time, we have prepared an exchange reserve fund of 70 to 80 million yuan."

"Such sufficient preparations and the court's large-scale exchange give people a sense of confidence."

"The White Lotus Sect is not a fool, so how dare they come out to stir up trouble at this time?"

"They are very careful about their lives, so they shouldn't be able to cause trouble, right?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Gaochi as if he were a fool, chuckled "haha" and asked rhetorically:

"Boss, how can you guarantee that the White Lotus Sect doesn't know the court's bottom line?"

"What if they know the court's bottom line and know that the silver taels we have prepared are only 70 to 80 million taels of spare exchange gold?"

"When it breaks out, how will we respond?"

"You know, Chen Ying, the former Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was an informant of the White Lotus Sect!"

"Can you guarantee that the people we are discussing and planning this time do not have hidden contacts with the White Lotus Sect or are people who are the White Lotus Sect's informants?"

"What if there is?"

"What will happen then?"

This statement.

It directly shattered Zhu Gaochi's remaining luck in an instant. He was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to say for a moment, frowning and falling into deep contemplation.

After a while, Zhu Gaochi recovered from his daze, turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu aside, with a trace of doubt in his expression, and asked: "Since the situation is so serious, you don't necessarily believe these people."

"Why did you just reveal the court's bottom line to these people?"

"Tell these people that the imperial court can only produce 70 to 80 million taels of silver?"

"Isn't it okay to make yourself uncomfortable?"

"What the hell are you holding back?"

"This matter is of great importance. Hurry up and give me a quick explanation."

Zhu Gaoxu frowned when he heard this and glanced at the prince lightly.

"Didn't you already know what I was planning when you asked me this question?"

"There is no doubt that nature means what you think it means."

Got a positive answer.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes couldn't help but narrowed, and he took a deep look at Zhu Gaoxu, his expression was extremely wonderful.

"Second brother, you...bastard, bastard."

"You are so brave. You are so brave."

"I really don't know what you're thinking."

"does it worth?"

"Do you know how risky this is?"

"You're crazy, absolutely crazy, crazy."

"Me me me"

In the end, Zhu Gaochi hesitated for a long time and fell down on the chair in a daze, with a look of hatred on his fat face.

It's not surprising that Zhu Gaochi acted like this.

But in his opinion, it was completely unwise.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing aside, saw the prince looking so lonely and bald, hating the iron that could not be transformed into steel. He reached out and patted his shoulder gently and said comfortingly:
"okay."

"Boss, don't act like your real father is dead."

"I'm not a fool, and I won't fight an uncertain battle."

"I definitely know everything."

Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes at him fiercely, and said with a trace of resentment in his words:

"You have a number, you have a damn number."

"Like you said, if there is an informant from the White Lotus Sect among them."

"Now we only have 70 to 80 million taels of silver, and there is still a shortfall of 30 to 40 million taels of silver."

"Who can spend so much silver to fill this gap?"

“What should I do if I can’t fill this gap?”

"you tell me?"

"How does it end?"

Having said this, he paused, his expression became extremely solemn, the topic suddenly changed, his voice became extremely deep, and he said:

"It's my opinion about the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes."

"We'll stop here this year, and we're not in a hurry."

"Let's wait until the various taxes at the end of the year and the income from refined salt next year are collected before mentioning this matter."

"In this way, we can be calm and not afraid, and we can deal with it more calmly and calmly when someone is doing evil in the dark."

"Okay?"

It is undeniable.

Zhu Gaochi's suggestion is an excellent and safe one.

However, this suggestion was contrary to what Zhu Gaoxu had planned, and it was not the result he wanted to see.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu paused, glanced at the prince with a half-smile, and asked cheerfully:

"Boss"

"You have a great idea, but there is no ventilation wall in this world."

"What if, and I mean what if, there is someone else's spy in the middle, and seeing that we are slow to act, what if it is exposed to us in advance?"

"Wouldn't it make us more passive and unprepared?"

"Actually, when I discussed this matter with the ministers, there was no room for maneuver."

"Isn't it?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaochi was stunned and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But they have to admit that this matter is just like what the second brother said, and they have no chance to delay time.

Of course, it's not that they don't have it, but they don't dare to bet. There is no one else's spy among the ministers, and they can't go out without revealing the slightest bit of information.

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi really wanted to strangle Zhu Gaoxu to death.

This bastard is such a jerk.

He clearly knew the stakes involved, but he didn't discuss it with anyone. He immediately launched his attack and put everyone on the stand, leaving no one with any chance to move forward or retreat.

"Okay okay okay"

"Now that the matter is over, let's tell you all your plans."

"I would like to see what kind of number you mean."

"hurry up."

Feeling the eyes on him, Zhu Gaoxu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his heart was filled with joy.

The boss finally gave up the struggle and completely compromised.

Things finally developed towards the plot he envisioned.

It's so nice to be able to unleash war talents and at the same time completely eliminate that disgusting thing.

After a brief moment of silence, his eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he chuckled with a "haha":

"Boss, if...I mean if."

"Knowing that there is a storage mine with hundreds of millions of silver taels in a place, you can mine silver sustainably, fill the national treasury, and solve the crisis of the Ming Dynasty's treasure banknotes. You don't have to worry about the White Lotus Sect jumping around and causing trouble behind the scenes."

"But moving this place is contrary to the ancestral system and the terms established by Emperor Taizu. Do you dare to work with me to fight against everyone's opinions and do something big?"

Say it.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the prince with a half-smile, waiting for his answer.

what?
What the hell?
A large silver mine with hundreds of millions of taels, can it be mined sustainably?
Did he hear it correctly?
How can this be?

Why have I never heard of such a wealthy place?
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was shocked and froze on the spot. He looked at him in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost. There was a hint of uncertainty in his words, and he said:
"Boy, do you know what you are talking about?"

"A silver mine worth hundreds of millions?"

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu shrugged noncommittally, chinned his head, and said solemnly:

"Yes."

"Nothing false."

"Fuck!" After receiving the affirmative reply, Zhu Gaochi couldn't hold back and swore directly.

At this moment, he didn't care about the so-called behavior and the etiquette of a gentleman. He stood up from the chair with an excited expression, grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's arms tightly, and the eagerness in his words was fully visible. road:

"where?"

"Where is this place?"

"With so much silver, what kind of ancestral system are you afraid of?"

"Fuck him."

"You're still hesitating!" (End of chapter)
