Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 56 Wasting our grandson's good brains!

Zhu Gui was also very angry when he mentioned this matter. He also lacked money, and he also wanted to do business to make money, but reality did not allow it.

In fact, when Zhu Yunxi mentioned business to him yesterday, Zhu Gui wanted to remind him.It's just that he was very interested in what he said, so he didn't want to hit him.

"Ugh!"

"Father Emperor I's famous name was completely ruined by those Confucian scholars, saying that they can't compete with the people for profit..."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he immediately expressed his understanding.

"So this is ah……"

"But it doesn't matter, there is no unparalleled road, I believe I will find a way to break the situation!"

Seeing what Zhu Yunxi said, Zhu Gui immediately became interested.

"what?"

"If you really find a way to break the situation, don't forget to take me with you. It just so happens that my palace doesn't have the money to build it..."

"Don't worry, I don't eat alone, of course everyone can earn money together!"

When Zhu Gui heard this, he thought that the grandson was joking with him, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

In fact, it didn't say a word. It's not that the royal family can't do business at all, it's just that they can't do business in the capital.

When he becomes a vassal in the future and arrives in his own fiefdom, he still wants to make troubles, who can control him?
While talking, the two walked towards the Xihua Gate.

Zhu Gui's palace is near the small teaching field on Taiping Street. Originally, both Xuanwumen and Xihuamen could leave the palace, and even Xuanwumen is more convenient.

But he was already an adult, and he was no longer fit to enter and leave the harem at will, so he chose to go out directly through the Xihua Gate.

The guards at Xihua Gate saw the young grandson of the emperor and immediately stopped them.The guards only let Zhu Gui go as a guarantor and promised to send Zhu Yunxi back before the palace gate was locked.

When the two came to Taiping Street, seeing the bustling crowd, Zhu Gui had long been used to it, and let the guards surround him and drive on the road in a carriage.

Zhu Yunxi, on the other hand, had never seen the world, his eyes were as wide as a groundhog, and he couldn't stop looking out of the car. He really saw everything new.

"Wow!"

"There are so many people in the capital, so many shops!"

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was so ignorant, Zhu Gui said proudly.

"That's natural!"

"Our Daming capital has a population of more than one million, and it is the most prosperous place in the world!"

When Zhu Gui said this, his tone suddenly became a little sad.

"It's just a pity, such prosperity has nothing to do with us vassal kings, we are only worthy to go to some remote villages to guard the border..."

Zhu Yunxi could hear the sourness in Zhu Gui's tone, and couldn't help asking.

"Uncle Thirteen, isn't it good to be a prince?"

"That's the Emperor of Earth. No one can control you what you want to do!"

Zhu Gui laughed at himself when he heard the words.

"Really good?"

"If I can stay in the capital, I would rather not be crowned king for the rest of my life!"

Zhu Gui's words made Zhu Yunxi unable to understand at all, but in fact Zhu Gui's thoughts were the general mentality of the vassal kings.

For these princes, letting them go to the vassal state is equivalent to driving them from an international metropolis to a small remote village.

It doesn't matter if they are kings of grass, many of the prosperity that can only be found in the capital city can't be bought by spending money in the local area, for example, the Qinhuai River rippling with the smell of powder.

"Actually, you really don't need to rush to make money."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Gui in puzzlement, wondering why Tong said these words suddenly.

"What?"

"I'm not in a hurry to make money now, what will I use to build the palace, raise the guards, and develop the fiefdom economy in the future?"

Zhu Gui looked at the silly grandson and felt a burst of anger.

"Father will not be willing to let you become a feudal vassal!"

"Why!"

"Just because I have no father or mother, am I not even qualified to be a county king?"

"This is not fair!"

Zhu Gui was dumbfounded when he heard this, thinking that what he said was not clear enough?

But he can only talk about this, and if he talks more, he will harm his grandson.

"Don't be foolish. When you arrive at my mansion in a while, you change into ordinary people's clothes, and then I will take you to the street for a stroll, to appreciate the prosperity of the capital, then hurry back to the palace!"

"oh oh……"

Not long after, the two came to Prince Yu's Mansion, and Zhu Yunxi looked at the gate of the Palace and let out a sound of admiration.

"Uncle Thirteen, your mansion looks good!"

"Don't rush to boast, you'll know after a while after you push the door open."

"The gates are so beautifully repaired, and the inside..."

As Zhu Yunxi said, he followed Zhu Gui into the palace. As soon as he entered the gate, he was stunned by the desolation in front of him.

"wipe!"

"I built a gate for you!"

Zhu Gui smiled wryly upon hearing this.

"That's right, those treacherous ministers from the Ministry of Industry used all the money allocated by the emperor to the gate!"

"If the mother and concubine hadn't suppressed me and prevented me from embarrassing my father, I would have gone to the Qianqing Palace to cry."

"Even if you bully people again, you won't bully like this!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he also expressed deep sympathy for Zhu Gui.

When he was chatting with Zhu Gui at noon yesterday, he saw that the other party said that his palace was simple, so he thought that the other party was humble to him.

Looking at it now, it can't be described as shabby, but rather shabby.

In such a huge mansion, except for a main hall that looks decent, all the other buildings are gray and not even painted.

As for rockery, ponds and the like, don't even think about it, there is only a large barren green grassland and the big pit left over from the construction.

"Uncle Thirteen, you are indeed wronged..."

"If it weren't for the fact that I'm about to become a vassal, I won't be able to live in the capital for a few days. Even if I make a big fuss at the Golden Luan Palace, I still want my father to give me money to repair the palace!"

"Uncle Thirteen, when I become king in the future, it won't be so miserable, right?"

When Zhu Gui heard this, he just felt a headache. Why does this grandson always want to be king, so he can't stand up and compete with Zhu Yunqi's grandson!
"Don't think about it too much, hurry up and change clothes with me!"

"Hey!"

Zhu Yunxi followed Zhu Gui into the main hall, and once again felt a burst of shabby air hit his face.

"Uncle Thirteen, the officials from the Ministry of Industry are going too far, they don't even give you a few decent pieces of furniture?"

Zhu Gui waved his hands when he heard the words.

"Don't blame them. With the little money allocated by the emperor, it is considered good enough to repair the framework of the palace. You still expect the officials of the Ministry of Industry to buy furniture for you out of their own pockets?"

"Is the emperor's grandfather allocated very little money?"

"A total of [-] yuan has been allocated, which is not enough to build a bigger hut in the capital!"

"However, the other princes are not too bad. If they want to live comfortably, they have to pay for the repairs themselves."

"Among all the kings, only your second and third uncle's mansions look like this. Your fourth uncle King Yan's mansion is the most shabby, but he doesn't live there either. Every time he goes to the capital, he uses the old man's house."

"Isn't 1 guan equal to [-] taels of silver? It shouldn't be a lot, why can't it just be built like this?"

"what?"

"Who told you that 1 guan is equal to [-] taels of silver?"

"If you want to say that when the Daming Treasure Banknote was first issued, it was estimated to be about the same. Even if it wasn't worth ten thousand, it could be worth seventy-eight thousand taels."

"Now... tsk tsk, it's worth 3000 taels to die!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard the words, his face was full of disbelief.

No way, did our Daming treasure depreciate so quickly?

Zhu Yunxi decided to find out the reason. Did too many Daming Treasure banknotes be printed, or was someone fake?

While the two were talking, they each changed their clothes, and when they were about to go out, Zhu Gui took out a wad of usual treasures and stuffed them to Zhu Yunxi.

"Take it!"

"Buy whatever you like, and treat it as pocket money from Uncle Thirteen!"

Although Zhu Yunxi already knew that the Daming banknotes were devalued, he was still very happy to see the small money.

"Thank you Uncle Thirteen!"

Just when the two of them were wandering out of the palace, an unexpected visitor came to Dahontang.

Lao Zhu didn't have a lot of official business today, so after he was done, he wandered over to the Daben Hall, wanting to see if the little Ni Sun's endorsement skills were really as sharp as what Er Hu said.

However, when he felt Da Bentang, he saw that the other two grandchildren were all there, except that one was missing.

Hey, where did our little Ni Sun go?

Seeing His Majesty coming, Qi Tai hurried out to meet him.

"Wei Chen greets His Majesty!"

"What about people?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Highness Yunxi has followed King Yu out of the palace."

"what?"

"His Royal Highness Yunxi and King Yu both completed their homework ahead of time, and according to the rules of the main hall, they can leave school early."

When Lao Zhu heard this, his face darkened suddenly.

"Qi Tai, did the two of them assign too little homework?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Highness Yunxi recited the first chapter of the Analects, a total of 490 words, isn't it too short?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Yu's homework is also normal, reciting one hundred words every day."

Lao Zhu thought about it in his heart, and he memorized nearly five hundred words a day, which is indeed not a small amount.But when he thought that he was about to die of anxiety, and that grandson still had the leisure to go out to play in the palace, he felt furious.

"double!"

"Doubling again!"

"Must be doubled!"

"We must not waste our great grandson's good head!"
