I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 120 Hakka Baba
Before and after Grain Rain, all the people farmed.

From the surface, the basic market of the Ming Dynasty seems to be a little bit stable.

But Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, knew in his heart that the food in his hands could only last half a year at most.

During this period, there will be no plagues, wars or anything like that.

If this year’s sweet potatoes, corn, and other crops suffer disasters like the seventh year of the apocalypse and the first year of Chongzhen, and there is no harvest, a large number of ordinary people will definitely starve to death in the spring of next year.

At that time, the situation may only get worse.

"There is only one year, where to get food..."

"There's no news from Zheng Zhilong recently. It's really impossible. Sell hundreds of thousands of people to that kid and let him develop South America?" '

'Those who were transported out were hungry and crazy refugees, and bringing back hundreds of boatloads of corn dregs was a good way for a prodigal family! '

Mao Yuanyi sent a secret letter, asking for instructions on when to 'horse step into a wealthy family', he is ready to fight.

Zhu Youjian could only answer one sentence: build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly.

How to do it, let Mr. Mao Da figure it out by himself.

I am a prodigal son, not an eternal emperor.

Listening to the reports from Wei Zhongxian, Wang Chengen and others, as well as various news from Mr. Cao, Zhu Youjian was so worried that he couldn't sleep, so he could only favor Empress Zhou every night.

Zhu Youjian hadn't been to the Compassionate Ning Palace for many days since Zhou Kui, the patriarch of the state, had his head beheaded in order to stand up...

……

Hakka Baba still didn't heed Wei Zhongxian's warning, and used some special means and connections, intending to reach out to "Huang Tian" and "Disaster Relief Food".

It's no wonder that she, a woman, wants money and power, and seeing a lot of benefits go to other people's pockets is more uncomfortable than losing money herself.

Especially after being slapped by Wei Zhongxian, she was even more resentful, wishing to tear that old eunuch into pieces, chew them into pieces, and swallow them whole!
what!
Isn't it just a castrate?

Back then, in order to climb up, kneeling and crawling under the skirt of her lady Fengsheng, what kind of face did she have?
This side has just gained power by the new emperor's side, and dare to show her teeth to her, the late emperor's nanny?

After sending Wei Zhongxian away, Keshi Baba sat on the gums, thinking about it, hating it more and more, gritting his teeth and cursing Wei Zhongxian, that heartless man.

Immediately afterwards, he cursed a few more words that the idiot emperor is not a man.

That's what called people in.

"Go, send a letter to your Lord Hou, saying that my wife wants to see him and discuss important matters." Baba Keshi ordered a servant with a cold face.

That family Ding promised, turned around and went out.

Keshi Baba was fidgeting, drank half his stomach of herbal tea, but felt that there was a fire in his heart, and if he didn't vent it, it was really uncomfortable.

So, taking advantage of her son Hou Guoxing's arrival, she led a servant girl through a moon gate to the small courtyard next door.

This yard is not big, but it is extremely quiet, it is a small courtyard where Hakka's Baba lives.

There are two trees in the yard, one is a plane tree.

The other is also a sycamore tree.

On the tall sycamore tree, the fresh and tender leaves just emerge, fresh and tender.

Keshi walked into a room fiercely, and with a bang, the two thick pear wood carved doors were bolted from the inside.

Soon, there was the sound of a whip beating a donkey.

In the courtyard, only the servant girl was left alone, squatting under the plane tree watching the birds bored.

There were seventeen sparrows in total on the two trees.

Among them, four or five seemed to be females, chirping and flying between the two trees, teasing the other dozen male birds, looking very proud.

After watching for a long time, the servant girl felt a little sore in her neck, so she lowered her head and kneaded her tender neck.

It's been a long time since the mistress went in, why hasn't she come out yet?
The servant girl muttered, just about to stand up, when she suddenly saw a face appearing less than half a foot in front of her eyes, she was frightened out of her wits and wanted to scream.

Before she could scream, she was hit hard by a hand knife on her tender neck.

She rolled her eyes and passed out.

Standing in front of her was a young girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a maid's costume.

As soon as the girl brought up the servant girl, she didn't have to look around, and went straight into another room with light hands...

……

After more than half an hour, Keshi Baba finally went out.

On a charming face covered with fine wrinkles, there is a bewitching red light, two eyes are as soft as silk, and the corners of the mouth are slightly turned up, it seems that the game is quite fun.

"Hongluan, dead girl, where did you go?"

As soon as she went out, Keshi Baba supported the door frame and took a few breaths, only to find that her personal maid was not in the yard, and couldn't help being a little annoyed.

These girls from poor families can be so presumptuous after only a few days of good life?

Keshi Baba's face became gloomy, and just about to speak again, he heard the voice of 'Hongluan' from another room: "Madam, please wait a moment, the servant is coming soon, coming soon!"

Immediately afterwards, the wooden door slammed, and the close maid 'Hong Luan' ran out quickly.

While running, he also whispered his guilt, looking frightened.

Keshi Baba snorted coldly, stretched out a hand, and asked casually: "You little rascal, did you get a stick in your throat?"

The servant girl hurried forward a few steps, supported the mistress, and returned to the Nuan Pavilion of the mansion.

While walking, he said in a low voice: "Last night, I was greedy for the cold, and I ate half a bowl of buckwheat jelly. When I woke up in the morning, I felt my throat was itchy."

Keshi Baba sneered: "I thought you were penetrated by the donkey, you little rascal!"

"Next time you dare to run around, be careful that my mother will stab you to death with a wooden peg!"

"The last time you flirted with that poor and poor guy, was it really seamless? My old lady has seen it for a long time, and was about to kill that little boy, but let him slip away..."

Keshi Baba gritted his teeth and cursed a few harsh words, only then did he feel that his legs stopped trembling, and with the support of the maid 'Hong Luan', he turned his fat buttocks back to the warm pavilion of the mansion.

Hou Guoxing, Marquis of Mizhi, also entered the door. Before he had time to take a sip of tea, he heard his mother Hakshi Baba walking to the door of the Nuan Pavilion.

"Mother... I'm here."

Hou Guoxing smiled all over his face, went up to hold Zhu's arm, and teased, "Mom is so excited, did you just go out for an outing?"

"Look at your sweaty face, are you tired?"

Keshi Baba snorted coldly, and said with a gloomy face, "You are becoming more and more outrageous now, you dare to make fun of your own old lady?"

While talking, she sat down on the embroidered couch, stretched out her hands and rubbed her waist, and continued: "Son, I called you over today, there are mainly two big deals, and you need some snacks.

One is the imperial land rented out by the dog emperor. Try to cut out tens of thousands of acres, preferably in the areas of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang, which are closer to our family's tea mountains, salt and iron business, and easy to take care of;

The other thing is to try to retain part of the batch of grain that the imperial court exchanged for the imperial land..."

Hakka Baba wanted to say more, but Hou Guoxing turned pale with shock, and hurriedly said: "Mother, don't act rashly on this matter!"

"My godfather has already warned the child that this time, all those who have contaminated the imperial land and disaster relief food, regardless of their official position or background, Long Live God will definitely be cruel."

Keshi Baba snorted coldly, and reprimanded: "Presumptuous, even you dare to come and teach my old lady a lesson?"

"Wei Zhongxian's dog is not a thing. He thinks that with the favor of the idiot emperor, he can get rid of my wife and go alone? It's a beautiful idea!"

"The last time I sold you the title and bought Xiyuan to open a kiln, our family spent a lot of money and food, so you let the other side find a way to squeeze out a few million taels of silver, and first invade tens of thousands of acres of imperial land! "

"If it doesn't work, let the Anzi over there dispatch to help us deal with those big dogs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"After all, raising [-] soldiers and horses for them would cost too much."

Hou Guoxing was very hesitant, hesitating for a while, before he said: "Mother, this matter... you should think twice."

"The emperor now holds great power, not only coaxing the civil servants to be happy, but even the governors and generals from all over the country seem to be deeply involved..."

"Are you teaching me a lesson?"

Keshi Baba's face became gloomy and cold, and he said in a hateful voice: "Don't forget, you are the little prince over there, you are not some bullshit Mi Zhihou!
You, can you remember? "
