Chapter 122

After Zhang Hao came out of Xu Jie's mansion, he went straight to the palace.

At this moment, Zhang Rong is meeting the saint, reporting the current situation of the battle results, and there is also the matter of expanding the forbidden army.

In the entire alchemy room, only Jiajing, Zhang Rong, and even Lu Fang were kicked out.

"Drinking tea, isn't this place warm? Zhang Manzi made it. He knew that I was afraid of the cold, so he specially made this one.

I have to say that although this kid is quite a bit rough, he is still quite talented in Gewu, such as big firecrackers, soap, and this stove! "Jiajing was sitting there at the moment and said to Zhang Rong with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this kid, since he was a child, likes to take apart things, because this minister beat him countless times, and then he changed it a little bit, maybe he understood a little bit at that time.

However, Your Majesty, Hao'er is not really stupid, she used to do things impulsively, and she would go as soon as she was instigated by others, and she was honest.

But since he went to the battlefield, he has become more courageous, maybe because he is used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, and he has some insights! "Zhang Rong sat there and said to Jiajing.

"Well, regardless of him, this kid is still capable. I won't reward you for your contribution in this battle. I will give all the credit to Zhang Manzi!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Rong and said.

As soon as Zhang Rong heard this, he was about to stand up and kneel down, but was stopped by Jiajing: "Just talk, don't keep kneeling, I know who you are!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I dare not take credit for it, the Emperor did not punish me, and I am very grateful. Before, I was in charge of the imperial guards and couldn't stop the Tatars, and the training was mediocre.

Although I made a little contribution this time, it is not enough to be rewarded. I came here today to thank Zhang Manzi for the title of Marquis. I know that there are still too many rewards! "Zhang Rong sat there and said to Jiajing.

"A lot? Wrong, it's less! Hey, others may not say it, but you know why I have been hiding here to practice Taoism these past few years. Cultivate Taoism or Buddhism like me?
I thought I was a good emperor in the first 20 years, but I underestimated my opponents. I hid here to study those opponents. I originally thought that I would never leave here in this life, so I controlled the ministers through the cabinet.

But I know that the consequence of doing this is that Daming may change the dynasty at any time, I can't help it!King Yu is still young, if I die for no apparent reason, what will King Yu do then?Those civil servants still have to hold him tight, Daming, isn't it going to be over? " Jiajing sat there, looked at Zhang Rong and said.

"Your Majesty, I understand, but I am incompetent!" Zhang Rong immediately bowed his head and said with a sad face.

"Zhang Hao gave me hope. You control the imperial guards, Zhang Hao controls the money, and I control the bureaucracy. I want to see how many heads those civil servants have, enough for me to chop off!" Jiajing said with firm eyes at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I will definitely not disappoint the Emperor. There are not so many people on the side of the imperial guards. I will write letters to the other dukes and ask them to send people over!" Zhang Rong stood up and said to him. Looking at Jiajing cupped his hands and said.

"Okay!" Jiajing nodded in satisfaction.

Knowing that Zhang Rong was also trying to avoid suspicion, Jiajing was very clear about those princes who were loyal to Daming.

"However, Your Majesty, the training of the imperial guards requires a lot of money, and the confiscated materials are not many, mainly war horses and armored weapons. There is also food and grass, but it is difficult to exchange for money.

The minister estimated that a minimum of 20 taels is needed to train 60 imperial guards. In addition to the 20 taels that have not arrived before, it is estimated that 80 taels will be needed. If they have money, they won't give it to the minister easily, they are also guarding against the minister! Zhang Rong looked at Jiajing at the moment and said worriedly.

"Well, look here, do you know how much money there is here?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Rong with a smile and said.

"How much?" Zhang Rong looked at those bags, not many, Zhang Hao's bags were full before, but now those bags are half full.

"It's all silver bills! There are about 120 million taels, but, oh, this barbarian Zhang, he takes money too seriously, and he doesn't even give it away!" Jiajing said and became worried.

"Your Majesty, if he dares, why doesn't he pay any money?" Zhang Rong looked at Jiajing anxiously and asked.

"I have an agreement with Zhang Hao. I can't interfere with the matter of the soap workshop. Otherwise, I will be fined 1 taels. I have already fined 1 taels. He will divide it when he says.

The reason why there is no distinction now is that he said that production needs to be expanded now, and the construction of workshops outside the city also requires a lot of money. In fact, it is enough, but this kid is afraid that it will not be enough!
do you know?Now this place can earn about 10 taels a day. You said, can it still be short of construction money?I have already told him that we can give birth in the palace for a few more days.

Anyway, it has already been born, and those ministers have finished their impeachment and punishment. This kid just refuses to agree. There is nothing I can do. There are still many places in the court that need money! "Jiajing looked at Zhang Rong and said.

"Your Majesty, I went to find him, and turned against him, without paying any money?" Zhang Rong said to Jiajing at this moment.

"Okay, but, it's better to find a way to cheat, this kid's money is easy to cheat, if you insist, he may not give it!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Rong and reminded him, Zhang Rong nodded.

Then Jiajing continued to explain the matter of the imperial guards, talking a lot.

When Zhang Hao arrived at the alchemy room, he found that Lu Fang and the others were standing outside.

"Why is this?" Zhang Hao looked at them incomprehensibly.

"The emperor and the British prince are talking about important things inside, we can't listen!" Lu Fang explained to Zhang Hao.

"My dad, my dad is here? Well, I didn't dare to go home, but I hid here!" Zhang Hao said very upset when he heard it.

Fortunately, he avoided it, but it was unlucky for himself and his eldest brother, who was nagged by his mother every day.

"Yes, I may be here to report on the frontline operations. After all, the battle is over, and there are still many things to deal with. The British Lord needs to hear what the emperor wants." Lu Fang stood there, explaining to Zhang Hao with a smile.

"Have we chatted for a long time?" Zhang Hao thought for a while, looked at Lu Fang and asked.

"It's been a while, almost two quarters of an hour!" Lu Fang estimated and said to Zhang Hao.

"Okay, I'll go in and have a look. After such a long time, the conversation is almost done!" Zhang Hao nodded, and opened the door and went in.

It was too late for Lu Fang to pull, he didn't expect Zhang Hao to push the door and go in.

"Your Majesty, Dad, what are you guys talking about for so long?" Zhang Hao shouted after pushing the door open.

"You bastard, you're crazy, get out!" Zhang Rong was shocked when Zhang Hao pushed the door open, and immediately yelled at Zhang Hao.

"I'm going out, Dad, you have to go back, my mother scolds us two brothers every day, you hide and don't go home every day, my elder brother is being tricked by you!" Zhang Hao stood there and shouted at Zhang Rong .

"You! Get out!" Zhang Rong was still very angry. The emperor wanted to have a private conversation with him, but he actually opened the door to come in. This is disrespectful.

But from Jiajing’s point of view, it’s okay, it’s normal, it’s not normal if he doesn’t push the door, and he didn’t think about disrespect. If he had to think about it, Zhang Hao would have died a long time ago.

On the contrary, Jiajing saw Zhang Hao coming in, his eyes lit up, and he said, "It's okay, close the door, come here!"

"emperor!"

"money!"

"Oh!"

Zhang Rong didn't understand at first, but when Jiajing talked about money, Zhang Rong instantly understood.

Zhang Hao smiled and closed the door, then ran over here.

"Hey, Your Majesty, my father is treacherous now. He knows my mother will scold him, so he won't go home. I have nothing to do, so I can hide here. My brother will be miserable, and my mother scolds him every day!" Zhang Hao He explained to Jiajing with a smile.

At this time, Zhang Rong stood up and went directly to pick up those money bags.

"Hey, hey, dad, what are you doing, this is, this is the emperor's money!" Zhang Hao saw it and hurried over to stop it.

"I know, the emperor agreed to give me 100 million military expenses to train the imperial guards!" Zhang Rong nodded, looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"How much?" Zhang Hao was dumbfounded when he heard that, 100 million taels, there are more than 120 million vehicles here, he wants to take 100 million taels, can that work?
"No, no, put it down, Your Majesty, no, the money hasn't been divided yet!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing anxiously and said.

"I don't have any money, only here has money, you don't want to share it, what can I do, I said the money is not divided, your father said it's okay!" Jiajing spread his hands at this moment, looked at Zhang Hao helplessly and said.

"Father, you are bold. You dare to take money even if the emperor doesn't give you any money?" Zhang Hao immediately looked at Zhang Rong and shouted.

"The emperor said, I can take it, but now I am asking you, can I take this money!" Zhang Rong said, and picked up the whip.

Zhang Hao looked at the whip in his hand, swallowed his saliva, then looked at Zhang Rong's eyes glaring at him, then turned his head to look at Jiajing and said, "Your Majesty, are you stupid? How can we pay him so much money?" It’s easy to save, so you gave it to him like this?”

"You son of a bitch, what are you talking about?" Zhang Rong finished scolding Zhang Hao, and then asked Zhang Hao, "Say, will you give it?"

"Your Majesty?" Zhang Hao was a little afraid of Zhang Rong, Zhang Rong would really hit him.

"I said, I have no money, but you also know that the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, right? Without money, what do the soldiers eat and how do they train? Hey!" Jiajing said, and sighed.

"Well, let's split the money, Dad, you take 80 taels, and I will take 20 taels myself!" Zhang Hao said after thinking for a while.

Zhang Rong just looked at Jiajing, and Jiajing nodded.

"Okay, some money!" Zhang Rong said to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao had no choice but to ask for some money.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Rong went back to Jiajing and sat down, while Zhang Hao went to collect some money.

"You figure it out yourself!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Rong with a smile.

For Jiajing, it would be good to get 80 taels, but for Zhang Hao's 20 taels, Zhang Rong had to rely on Zhang Rong to cheat.
