Chapter 226 Father and Son's Love Story

Qianqing Palace.

When Li Yu came over, Hu Shangyi was waiting at the door, and Concubine An Gui brought a food box with Concubine Pu.

Li Yu quietly took a look at the two concubines who paid tribute to North Korea, and they really had big pancake faces in the same line.

Announcement, enter the palace.

The old man half-closed his eyes, and the old man nestled on the chair, listening to the quarrel of the three people in front of him.

Seen from the back, these three people are none other than the three brothers of the Zhu family.

It's normal for the old man and the third uncle to come here to discuss matters, but Han Wang was also called here.

Isn't it banned?It's only been a few days!
laugh!
Li Yu walked around to the front of the second uncle, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Erhan's face was swollen like a pig's head, his cheeks were bulging, his eyes "squinted" into a slit, and his color was ruddy and shiny.

He dared to come out to meet people like this, could it be that something big happened?
"Xiao Wang...cough, big nephew! Long time no see! Second uncle really misses me so much!"

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu also noticed that Li Yu came in, and immediately stood up, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth, but his swollen face, which was fatter than his father, coupled with his fierce expression, was very special. funny.

Li Yu held back his smile and leaned forward deliberately: "Second Uncle, you are already like this, so don't pretend to be cruel. Come on, my nephew will help you sit down."

Zhu Gaoxu grabbed Li Yu's collar, glanced at the calm old man, and asked fiercely: "Little bastard, what kind of trick did you use? Second uncle tried all kinds of medicines to cool blood and reduce swelling. Why? Not good at all!"

"Then who knows? Maybe it's because you've used up the medicine, maybe you'll get better in 34 days."

"Fucking 34 days?" Zhu Gaoxu understood what he said.

"Monkey boy, if you have any medicine in your hand, give it to Uncle Ni, the majestic King of Han, his face is swollen to this virtue, and he has no need to lose the royal dignity." At this time, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, pointed at Li Yu, and ordered Said: "Grandpa has something for your second uncle to do."

"Hey, obey the order."

Sure enough, something went wrong!Li Yu suddenly understood that the King of Han, who was obviously grounded, was suddenly released, and the old man actually helped him, which must be useful for him.

The king of Han didn't understand government affairs, but he had a high prestige in the army. Could it be that something happened at the border?
With doubts, Li Yu stretched out his hand and kneaded Erhan's face a few times, quietly dispelling the internal energy left on his face.

"Okay, go back and apply some ointment that cools blood and reduces swelling, and the swelling will disappear in a moment."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out some dark green ointment and applied it on his face.

"Monkey, stand beside Grandpa." Zhu Di beckoned. At this time, Hu Shangyi brought Concubine Pu in to serve food. Concubine Pu knelt down in front of Zhu Di. chin, looking at her face.

no?Old man, do you like this kind of thing?
Li Yuli was complaining in his heart, Zhu Di nodded as if he was very satisfied, neither let Concubine Pu go out, nor Concubine Pu got up.

I just picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Li Yu, and I also took another piece to my mouth. While eating, I pointed at the three brothers: "You three continue, let us hear what you have to say."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the old man, then at the two brothers, and looked at the table with a green face: "This time the Alutai Department attacked Liaodong, it must be supported by the Wara Department and Wu Liangwei."

The Wuliangwei that Erhan is talking about is Wuliang Hawei, also known as Duoyan Sanwei, the hero who once helped the old man calm down.After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian tribe can be roughly divided into three groups. Those who live in the east of the Xing'an Mountains, the Taoer River, and the Chuoer River are the Wuliangha Sanwei tribe, and they are temporarily surrendered to the Ming Dynasty; Those in the river area and the area south of Lake Baikal are the Tatar tribe, and the real power is Arutai; those living in the Khobdo River, the Irtysh River basin, and the Junggar Basin are the Oara tribe, and the power is Mahamu .

As for the Mongolian Great Khan Daliba at this time, it was just a puppet supported by Oara Mahamu.

"I've always said that Wala is unstable, and they are wolves who can't get enough to feed!" Zhu Gaosui immediately echoed: "I should have gone back and cleaned up Wala last time, and now there won't be so many troubles!"

"Boss, it's all your fault! Last time, you made the soldiers withdraw!"

"Father means that he is still willing to live in peace with all the tribes in the grassland and share the peace. Nawala did not retaliate. If you clean up the family, isn't that the Hang Seng incident!" Zhu Gaochi immediately defended.

"Yexian, the grandson of Mahamu of the Wala tribe, it is said that the eagle watches the wolf Gu..."

"..."

The three brothers were arguing endlessly, and Li Yu probably understood that this was because the Arutai Department attacked Liaodong and captured a lot of people.Is the old man the emperor who won't fight back when he gets angry?Only then did the king of Han be released to discuss the matter of sending troops.

The second uncle and the third uncle agreed to send troops, but my father put benevolence first in everything and opposed sending troops.

Zhu Di ate with his head down, letting the three brothers quarrel.

Zhu Gaoxu saw that the prince could not win the quarrel, so he simply changed his target: "Father, this time we sent troops from Hebei, out of Zhangjiakou, and went straight to Alutai's lair!"

Zhu Gaosui: "Father, you order Wu Liangwei to send [-] troops now, and see if he comes! Won't he come? Let Wu Liangwei be defeated first!"

Second child: "That's right!"

The crown prince folded his arms and raised his eyelids: "I have no money, father!"

The second child: "We're going to hit the Onan River this time!" The third child: "Yes!"

The prince: "No money!"

The second child: "Sweep Li Court!" The third child: "Yes!"

The prince: "No money!"

Second child: "Would you still let me talk?"

The crown prince spread his hands: "I didn't stop you as you said."

The third child: "This time, my father will drive us personally!" The second child: "Hey!"

The prince raised his arms again: "No money!"

puff!Li Yu couldn't help laughing, covering his mouth and snickering, his father is too stupid, let his second uncle and third uncle say anything, he said that he has no money on the left, and he has no money on the right, it is clear that he disapproves of the old man sending troops: If you are capable, you can use internal funds As military expenses?Anyway, the household department has no money!

Zhu Gaoxu was in a hurry: "Okay, okay, boss, you can go home and eat!"

The prince: "No money!"

"You don't have any money for food?"

Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes: "Hey, who is like you, you must have one, right? You reward everyone with a golden bean, which is enough to eat..."

"Hey, hey, boss, is there anyone as sinister as you?"

During the time of speaking, most of the redness and swelling on Zhu Gaoxu's face had dissipated, and his speech became much clearer.

"Get out!" Zhu Di swallowed the last mouthful of pastry, picked up the bowl and drank the soup, stood up, without even looking at his brothers, uttered a word coldly, and walked directly behind the curtain.

Before going in, he waved, and Li Yu quickly followed.

The three brothers looked at each other, unable to figure out what the old man meant for a moment, they all shut up, got up slowly and left.

Dad, I'm afraid you're going to be in trouble soon.Before going in, Li Yu gave his father a meaningful look.

"What's Grandfather's order?"

"Go and do something for grandpa." Zhu Di affectionately stopped Li Yu's shoulder.

"Hey, you say."

Zhu Di moved his mouth towards the outside: "Go to the imperial doctor in the alchemy room and ask."

Following the old man's gaze, Li Yu realized that through the veil as thin as a cicada's wings, he saw the big pancake Concubine Pu kneeling on the ground, and his heart immediately understood.

The old man is getting old, he is not "stuck", and he wants to find medicine but he is too embarrassed to talk about it.

This thing is easy to handle!

There is a blue film in Li Yu's portable space, which was specially purchased before coming to this world. At that time, he didn't expect to be able to directly possess the emperor's grandson. He originally planned to make his first pot of gold with this thing.

Naturally, I don't need it now, so I just dedicated it to the old man.

Li Yu took out his arms, turned his hands over, and squeezed out a glass bottle without any label, which contained ten blue tablets; pulled out the cork, poured out one carefully, and lied casually .

"Grandpa, this is the secret medicine of Taixi. It is very effective. It only takes one, even an eighty-year-old man can... Grandpa, you understand. It was originally bought by my grandson and planned to honor my father. gone."

"This glass bottle is pretty good, I'll take it to enjoy." Zhu Di thought for a while, snatched it away, put it in his arms, and asked, "Is this thing reliable?"

"Take it half an hour in advance, half a tablet at a time, the medicine of tiger and wolf, you can't use it too much, and grandpa must not be greedy." Giving this thing to the old man, Li Yu always felt like a pimp in his heart. King's Landing is a lucky citizen of a foreign country, and we are at a disadvantage!

Anyway, the old man took nine of them, and it didn't do any harm to his body.

Li Yu waved his hand and called Little Snot, and threw the remaining blue pill to him: "Arrange someone, find a man over [-], feed him, and arrange a woman for him, come back and tell your majesty the result. "

"You are a monkey boy with filial piety." Zhu Di was very satisfied with the eldest grandson's arrangement, and pulled Li Yu to sit down.

"I've been patronizing and fighting wars for so many years, so I need a few more. Look at the three brothers at the table today. I will rush over and slap them one by one, slap their heads in the chest, and show off to me!"

"Hehe." Li Yu smiled dryly, unable to answer these words.

"I don't pretend to be stupid, I have to let them die early."

"I just got the military information this morning. Arutai captured civilians from Liaodong. The Liaoyang Guard was just in time to change defenses, and the entire army was wiped out! Your second uncle and third uncle's opinion is to go north to Arutai again next year, but the court has no money. , what do you think of your father stopping the fight?"

"Fight!" Li Yu blurted out without hesitation: "Yidi, like beasts, are fearful of power but not virtuous. The Xiongnu of the Han Dynasty and the Turks of the Tang Dynasty are all the same."

"If you don't convince them, you won't be able to sit down and talk about benevolence and morality with them! Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon!"

"Haha!" Zhu Di laughed suddenly, and patted Li Yu's shoulder: "You haven't learned your father's benevolence and morality at all! Class me, class me!"

"Grandson's benevolence and righteousness are only spoken to the people of our Ming Dynasty. Those barbarians, firstly, did not pay taxes and taxes to our Ming Dynasty, and secondly, did not offer their daughters for the enjoyment of the Ming royal family. Be kind and moral!"

"Grandson only talks to them with a cannon!"

"Well said!" Zhu Di laughed a few times, but his face quickly collapsed: "Grandpa thought so too! Grandpa's repeated Northern Expeditions were just to wipe out the remnants of the Meng Yuan tribe, sweep up Liting, and completely stabilize the north. Unfortunately, the court has not Qian, your father, that picker of bricks, stopped him desperately, Grandpa is so angry!"

"Grandpa, don't worry, grandson is willing to donate tens of millions of taels of silver to help grandpa in the Northern Expedition."

Li Yu smiled, and took out the copy of the saltworks reform from his arms.

"Grandpa, please see, these are some articles drafted by my grandson about my reform of the salt system, which lists a new method of obtaining salt."

To put it bluntly, this method is very simple. The combination of sun-dried salt and saturated solution filtration can produce table salt as white as snow.

Zhu Di took it over and watched it carefully, while Li Yu explained one by one from the side. The grandfather and grandson had been discussing for more than half an hour, and the shortcomings that Li Yu thought were pointed out by the old man one by one and improved.

"... According to this law, the salt should be inexhaustible, so that the people of our Ming Dynasty will not suffer from the lack of salt. It can be called a great good government in the Yongle Dynasty, which is enough to last forever!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Zhu Di stroked his beard and laughed happily: "I don't like the benefits of new salt, I like the good grandson!"

Zhu Di immediately summoned Xia Yuanji, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, and Song Li, Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, and ordered the Ministry of Works to take the lead and cooperate with the Ministry of Households to implement it as soon as possible according to the revised regulations after discussions between the grandparents and grandchildren.

Xia Yuanji's eyes were shining, he went to the ground facing Li Yu, and called Taisun Yingming.

He is in charge of the household department, so he naturally understands the profit of salt. Once Taisun's new salt method is implemented, the profit from the introduction of salt alone will be enough to ensure that the food and grass in the nine borders are safe, plus the income from the salt tax. The treasury's annual revenue has increased by more than ten million taels?

The most amazing thing is that the "regional dealer" system and the concept of "franchise fee and security deposit" proposed by Taisun will definitely make a fortune in a short period of time. Your Majesty will have the money and food for the next Northern Expedition, and everyone will also Can have a good year - at least this year when the salary is paid, you don't need to be fooled by the big money!

After the matter was over, Li Yu hummed a little song, left the palace, and hurried back to the Prince's Mansion, Fan Zhong was still waiting.

Entering the front hall of Dechunhe Palace, my fat old man sat in the main seat, Fan Zhong dropped half of his buttocks on the chair, and was having a question and answer with the crown prince.

Seeing Li Yu coming in, Fan Zhong got up quickly, wiped the cold sweat off his head, and stepped forward to salute.

But before Li Yu could answer, he was pulled aside by his father.

"How's your grandfather's place?"

Fatty has supervised the country for many years, and he has long cultivated a delicate heart. Before he left the Qianqing Palace, he had already noticed something strange when his son looked at him.

"Grandpa said that he would fill me in with a fourth uncle, and then slap the heads of the three of you, one by one, into the cavity."

"Nonsense! Your grandfather... er, has already done that." Zhu Gaochi almost said something disrespectful.

Li Yu smiled: "So, it just so happens that I have some secret medicine in my hand, which is very useful, so I will dedicate it to grandpa by the way."

"Father, I reckon that the three of you brothers are going to be in trouble. Grandpa is trying to deal with you, so please yourself."

Li Yu can almost guess the next move of the old man. The Northern Expedition is not a trip that just goes away. At least half a year has to be prepared in advance. It is necessary to gather troops and raise food and grass. The prince stopped him in the name of lack of money. His position as supervisor of the country will come to an end.

In the original plot, it was Han Wang who had sat for a period of time to supervise the country, and let the old man play like a monkey, but now Li Yu didn't want Han Wang to supervise the country.

Letting the King of Han supervise the country is nothing more than ignoring the prince and letting the King of Han who supported the Northern Expedition make money and food, but Li Yu's method of making money is no worse than that of the King of Han, and he also supports the Northern Expedition. Why can't I fight for the seat of the country?
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a disaster that can't be avoided. Let your grandfather go, but you, you have to be careful with your second uncle." Zhu Gaochi, who had already figured out his father's temper, didn't care at all, and muttered casually, Then winked:

"Hey, do you still have the medicine you gave your grandfather? Give your father some too."

Li Yu reluctantly took out another glass bottle, and Zhu Gaochi grabbed it and left.

"Don't tell your mother about this!"

"Hey, that's right, just now the military bureau sent someone to report that the matter ordered by the emperor's grandson has been completed, and asked when to go over and have a look."

"Got it, I'll be there later."

Li Yu smiled ghostly, without asking, he knew what his father was doing with the "medicine".

It's a pity that the bottle given to grandpa is real, but the bottle that dad snatched away looks exactly the same. The pills in it were rubbed with starch and indigo in private by Li Yu, and they were planned to be adulterated and sold in the original plan.

When Dad took off his pants, he had some fun.

It's a pity that Li Yu had no luck watching the excitement, so he tricked his father and had to run quickly.
