Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

After working until the fourth watch, Lu Yaoyao finished the work and returned to her room to rest.

The next day, I got up early in the morning and took Qiu Yu to the construction site of the villa in the middle of the mountain.

As for Qiushuang, she left her in the village. After all, there are still many things to do in the village, and Lao Kang alone may not be able to keep up.

In the imperial palace, after the early dynasty, Emperor Hongwen did not remember to deal with government affairs, but returned to the Dragon Head Hall and passed on the breakfast meal.

Not long after, Wang De brought King Jin to the Dragon Head Hall.

"The emperor is here, come and sit down, and have dinner with me later."

"We brothers haven't eaten together for a long time."

King Jin smiled and nodded.

"Brother Huang is right, my brother is really hungry."

"But Brother Xuanchen is here, what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I have asked about salt and iron. Judging from the current situation this year, Dongzhou is doing well in all aspects."

"It's just that there are still many impacts from last year that have not been dealt with. I just want to know, what is the current income of Yantie?"

King Jin nodded and immediately reported the situation.

"As for the salt, [-]% of the minerals were brought back from the Han family last year. The production of snowflake salt has increased a lot, and the income in just a few months is very considerable."

"More than ten days ago, my younger brother went to check the books, and there are currently about two million taels of income."

"How much snow salt is left in the warehouse?"

While the two were talking, the people in the imperial dining room brought breakfast, but Emperor Hongwen ignored it, and talked about salt and iron with King Jin on his own.

But Wang De next to them glanced at the people who brought the food, and immediately lowered his eyes.

"Brother Huang was joking, the supply of snowflake salt is in short supply, and there are still many orders that have not been shipped, so there is still stock?"

"No, my brother is thinking about whether to expand the workshop."

"That has to expand."

Emperor Hongwen was quite happy to directly make a decision.

"My brother has already started preparations, but it's a pity that we have few resources in our hands. Even if we expand, the amount of production will be greatly limited."

"Well, I have my own plan for this matter, and the emperor will first expand according to the current situation."

"How about the iron workshop?"

"The situation in Tiefang is roughly the same as that in Yanfang, except that iron is an important military supply, and the amount that needs to be supplied to itself is a lot. Naturally, we can't sell it as unscrupulously as salt."

"So there is not much money on the books, only two to three hundred thousand taels, but the demand has been distributed everywhere, and there is still about [-] catties in stock."

"This is the situation that I learned about ten days ago, and it is estimated that there will be more than this number."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, very good, brother, I will ask the Minister of the Household Department to go with you later, and first transfer two million taels of silver to the treasury from there."

"Yes, I will explain to you later, and then I will go to Yanfang and Tiefang with the Secretary of the Household Department."

"Bring more people in a while, don't make any mistakes."

"Okay, let's eat first."

The breakfast here has been set up, and the person delivering the meal has left. When Emperor Hongwen greeted King Jin again, he still did not forget to give Wang De a look. …

Wang De understood immediately, went outside the hall to find Huo Di and explained some things, then quickly returned to the hall, and nodded to Emperor Hongwen.

King Jin saw the actions of both master and servant, and felt a little dignified.

At the same time, he was also puzzled as to what Emperor Hongwen was going to do.
In the main hall of Fengqi Palace, as soon as the concubines asked Ann to leave, Nanny Li walked into the main hall with a few servants.

Taking a closer look, these people are the servants of the imperial dining room who went to the Dragon Head Hall to pass on the breakfast just now.

Several people respectfully knelt down to pay their respects.

"Get up."

The Queen Wang put down the teacup and asked indifferently; "What did you say?"

The middle-aged servant in the lead repeated what he heard in the Dragon Head Hall just now verbatim.

After he finished speaking, Queen Wang looked at the others again.

After everyone had finished reporting, Queen Wang nodded.

Nanny Li understood and asked them to retreat.

"Your Majesty, it seems that we are overthinking."

Hearing this, Queen Wang didn't nod, but said indifferently; "It's not sure if you are too careful. Since Lord Zhen has some feelings, we still have to pay attention."

During the recent period, there were some small actions by the Ministry of War, which made Lord Zhen feel something unusual, and always felt that His Majesty seemed to have some intentions.

So I secretly sent someone to bring the letter into the palace, hoping that the empress would pay attention to it.

However, in the past few days, the situation on Emperor Hongwen's side is almost nothing abnormal, and Queen Wang also has doubts in her heart.

But she still chose her brother Zhen Guogong.

"Yes."

At this time, the atmosphere in the Dragon Head Hall was very heavy.

Just now after Wang De made sure that everything outside was cleaned up, Emperor Hongwen didn't hide anything, and went straight in, telling about the events of the year.

During this period, King Jin's heart was always on his mind, and many doubts filled his mind.

He couldn't understand why Emperor Hongwen suddenly asked him to talk about this?

What is his purpose in doing this?
Will it be a temptation?One or because he has leaked something recently, Emperor Hongwen is going to attack him?

"Your Majesty, what you said."

King Jin shook his head, his face full of disbelief.

"I know it's hard to believe, but it's all true. It's not the real King Ning. The real King Ning died shortly after he was born."

At this time, Emperor Hongwen no longer referred to himself as me.

"I also learned about this incident by chance after I ascended the throne, and I was secretly investigated for several years."

"All of this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy by the Wang family to seize the world."

"Of course I'm also at fault here, and I don't deny that."

King Jin looked at him, and many things in his heart were churning again.

He never dreamed that such a thing would happen today.

In the past, he always thought that even if these things were to be uncovered, it would be the account of all the things that he led the army into the imperial city and forced him to go over with a knife on Emperor Hongwen's neck.

He also imagined the scene of how Emperor Hongwen would deny him, how he would throw out the ironclad evidence bit by bit, and defeat all the lines of defense of Emperor Hongwen.

But today, the thing that had been imagined countless times in the past did not appear, and the other party just said it directly.

It had a great impact on his heart, making him feel like a dream.

After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "If these things are true, then what is your Majesty's reason for telling me these things at this time?"

"I'm tired."

"I used to be very obsessed with this seat, but slowly I discovered that although the person sitting in this seat is me, the real leader is indeed someone else."

"Slowly, I felt that my whole life seemed to be planned out, and I was just a pawn in it."

"It's like a puppet without flesh and blood, letting people pull the strings to affect the work and life."
