I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 347 Xia Yuanji: Yu Qian's thief, I want to fight you! (Digital chapter!)

Today's East Palace is extraordinarily quiet.

The housekeepers who cleaned the house were all light-footed when they were working, for fear of making any noise and causing trouble to their upper body.

Under the grape arbor in the courtyard, Zhu Zhangui had already arrived home, sitting on a chair with a book in one hand and a ruler in the other.

In front of him, stood a few nervous or relaxed little guys in a row.

In the courtyard outside the grape arbor, six eunuchs were neatly lying on the stools, looking pitifully at the little guys standing under the grape arbor, lined up as if they were about to go to the execution ground.

There were still a few court ladies standing in the corner, each of them stretching their hands against the wall, with tears in their eyes, they also looked at the little guys under the shelf.

Next to the little guys, Zhao Linger and the girls didn't dare to show their anger, holding a handkerchief in their hands, looking at the children standing in front of them with distress and expectation.

"Grandpa is very simple..."

"Snapped!"

The ruler yanked down fiercely, and Zhu Qiyu, who had a thick head and a thick head, burst into tears in an instant, and was about to cry when he curled his mouth.

At the moment when the ruler fell, a young eunuch lying on the stool outside was slapped hard on the buttocks.

This stick was very heavy, the little eunuch's eyes popped out suddenly, and he was about to shout out subconsciously.But then he thought of the consequences of shouting out just now, and he clenched his teeth tightly to prevent himself from making a sound, and forcibly suppressed the pain, causing his face to turn red.

Seeing this scene, the four little eunuchs lying on their stomachs trembled.

And the one who doesn't tremble is not because of his courage, but because he has confidence, because his master's grades have always been excellent, and he has passed the assessment just now.

The reason why he is still lying on his stomach is not because he has the courage to face hardships, but because he dare not get up because the prince has not spoken.

At the same time, a little court lady in the corner stretched out her jade hand pitifully, and looked at Hu Shangyi, the chief female official of the palace, who was walking back and forth with a ruler, with a pleading face.

It's a pity that her prayer was useless, Hu Shangyi didn't even look at her, and slapped her down without mercy.

In an instant, a red mark appeared on the white palm of the hand, and the poor little lady's tears of pain were like pearls, falling down non-stop.

But that's it, she still didn't dare to cry, so she could only cover her mouth tightly with her free hand to prevent herself from making a sound, so as not to be punished again.

"Hold it, it's frugality, not frugality!"

Zhu Zhangui scolded with a cold face, corrected Zhu Qiyu, and signaled to continue reciting.

"Grandpa is very frugal. Although he is an emperor, he never wastes money. Every day... every day..."

Zhu Qiyu, who hadn't recovered from the pain, got stuck again.

The eyes of the little eunuch and maid who had just been beaten were full of despair.

It's over, based on my master's grades in school, the two of them are going to die here today.

This is the 4th day since Zhu Zhangui came back. After dealing with government affairs in the past few days and buying some large radio stations for distribution to various places, Zhu Zhangui began to assess the children.

The God of War in history, the main reason why he became such a waste is because Zhu Pangpang died early, Zhu Zhanji didn't discipline him well, and the harem pampered him too much, so he became like a bird.

Zhu Zhangui doesn't want one of his children to appear like that.

Regarding children's education and ideological issues, Zhu Zhangui is very strict. As long as he is not busy, he will watch the children's study and education whenever he has time.

No, as soon as I came back to deal with the matter, I immediately assessed the child's studies.

In order to teach the children a lesson, Zhu Zhangui took his strictness to the extreme, completely acting like a strict father.

If you make a wrong sentence in the memorization or fail to connect, you will be beaten with a ruler, and you will not be able to write well.

Of course, this is only for the three stinky boys. Girls can’t beat them like this. They are all his little lovers. Even if he beats him, he can’t do it. So except for Zhu Miaoyin, who is the youngest and can learn, the three girls The only penalty is to stand still.

In addition to a few little guys, Zhu Zhangui also implemented a continuous sitting system. A few little guys would be punished if they made a mistake, and the eunuchs and maids around them would also be punished.

As a daily companion, even a servant is qualified to supervise the little master's study tasks, which is a little right given to them by Zhu Zhangui.

Now that the master is not good at studying, as a personal servant, it means that you are not effective in supervision.

Enjoy the status of being superior to other servants, then you have to accept corresponding obligations and punishments.

So the little fellows would be beaten if they couldn't answer the questions, or if they memorized the wrong book, and the eunuchs and maids who were close to them would also be beaten.

The eunuch is held by the board, and the palace maid is held by the hand of the ruler. They are absolutely impartial.

"Every meal!"

Seeing that his son made a mistake again and was about to be beaten again, Hu Shanxiang, who was sitting beside him, reminded him in a distressed whisper.

Zhu Zhangui turned his head sharply and stared at him, Hu Shanxiang hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhu Zhangui.

"Lovely mother but a loser, look at what this brat has made you used to, how he looks like all day long, shut up, don't make a sound, I'll deal with you later!"

Hu Shanxiang, who lowered his head, curled his lips secretly, and muttered in a low voice, "Didn't you clean up several times in the past few nights?"

"What are you mumbling about!"

Zhu Zhangui glared angrily, and Hu Shanxiang lowered his head even harder.

"My mother said, haven't you cleaned up several times in the past few nights?"

Seeing his mother being reprimanded, Zhu Qiyu thought it was his father who didn't hear his mother's words clearly, which made him so angry, so he quickly repeated a sentence.

"Snapped!"

"Ow!"

Zhu Zhangui lifted the little chubby straight up, swung the ruler and slapped the little butt violently.

"Your ears are sharp, can't I hear you, Bai Chang is so big, where is his heart and eyes, just your brain..."

"Ooooooooo..."

There were bursts of miserable howls in the East Palace, and Zhu Qiyu, who was being beaten, couldn't figure out why he had said something wrong.

Zhao Ling'er, who was sitting at the front of the girls, shook her head helplessly, intending to go up to persuade her, but thinking of her husband's explanation, she could only watch helplessly as the little guy was beaten.

At the same time, he secretly winked at Zhu Qirui who was standing beside him and passed the examination, telling him to stand up quickly.

But seeing his father twitching the ruler with a cold face, Zhu Qirui was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs trembled, and he didn't take a step forward.

"What's the matter? What's the matter, how to beat the child properly..."

Standing outside the door for a while, Mrs. Zhang, who was going to come and have a look, saw her second grandson being beaten, and the little guy's chubby face was covered with snot and tears. He was so distressed that he hurried walked in.

"Grandma, help me, daddy is going to kill me!"

Seeing that the savior came, Zhu Qiyu didn't care about the pain in his buttocks, and stretched out his hand to ask Zhang for help loudly.

"All right, all right, isn't it just memorizing a book? You couldn't recite it when you were young, and I didn't beat you like this. Let me go quickly. The child is still so young, what if you break it?"

Seeing the pitiful look of his grandson, Mrs. Zhang stepped forward quickly, snatched the ruler from Zhu Zhangui's hand and threw it aside, picked up the second grandson and coaxed him softly.

"It's okay, it's okay, grandma's little heart, with grandma here, your father dare not beat you again."

"Also, you have to study hard in the future, otherwise when grandma dies and your father beats you again, no one will be able to save you."

Zhu Zhangui had a headache for a while, and he was most afraid of this when educating children, especially the second-generation relatives, which was the biggest obstacle to children's education.

"Mother, look at this kid, you are used to it. He knows how to play every day, but he doesn't know how to study at all."

"Good guy, there are more than 90 students in the class, and the bottom one position he occupies all the year round is very stable."

"rtyseyt yhsr."

"There are teachers in the school, and the chief executive who is new at home teaches them personally. Even a pig can be admitted to the first place under the influence of his ears and eyes. This little bastard is the last one. How did he pass the exam?"

"Pfft!"

As soon as Zhu Zhangui said this, Zhu Qizhen, who was standing behind Zhu Qiyu, couldn't help being teased by his father's words, and burst out laughing.

Zhu Zhangui's eyes widened, and he reached out and grabbed the guy's ears.

"You are the second-to-last and you have the nerve to laugh. In this final test, you have two points more than him. How do you laugh?"

"Although I didn't go to school, I was born with wisdom. Your mother is proficient in playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and fu. Your uncle is even more famous for his talent."

"I just can't figure it out. How did you manage to avoid all of the excellent learning genes of the two families?"

The more Zhu Zhangui talked, the more angry he became. Thinking of the poem the teacher took when he went to the parents' meeting yesterday, he kicked Zhu Qizhen again angrily.

"I almost forgot that you can write poetry."

"What's the matter? My son is difficult to answer the questions, and my grandson is strict in proctoring the exam. I won't do it. I will refund my school money!"

"Do you know, you little bastard? Yesterday your husband read this poem in front of so many parents, and I lost all face. It means they don't know that I am the prince, otherwise we have been royal for so many years. Your good reputation will be ruined in the hands of your son-in-law."

In the past two years, Zhu Qizhen's face has also grown thicker. Not only was he not afraid of being grabbed by his ears and kicked his butt by his father, but he even grinned.

Seeing the boy like this, Zhu Zhangui didn't get angry, raised his foot and kicked again.

"From next year, as long as you are on vacation, you will go to your uncle's house to study."

"Let me tell you, next year's grades will be like this again, and you and your uncle will go back to your hometown to herd cattle."

Yu Qian: Nephew, nephew, he is a cheating father, you are a cheating uncle, why would you take me with you when your father scolds you, did we have any festivals in our previous lives?
"Your Highness, are you looking for a minister?"

Before Zhu Zhangui finished speaking, Yu Qian, who was wearing a blue official uniform, walked in from the outside with his head poking around.

"You came just in time!"

Turning around and seeing Yu Qian coming, Zhu Zhangui pointed to Zhu Qizhen, "I'll hand over this bastard to you next year. When Xiumu is on vacation, let him go to your place, and you stare at him to study."

Glancing at Zhu Qizhen who was winking at him, Yu Qian nodded.

"Okay, then I'll send someone over to pick him up when he's on vacation."

Yu Qian naturally cared about his nephew's grades.

It's just that Xie Jin was watching before, so it was not easy for him to intervene.

Xie Jin's knowledge is deeper than him, and he often has to go on business trips, the emperor and the prince have never spoken, so he dare not take Zhu Qizhen to his side.

As a member of the imperial family, being able to become an official in the court is already very tolerant. If he interferes with the education of the prince, those guys at Yushitai will probably impeach him every day.

"Okay, Yu Shangshu has something to do with you, so let's stop here today. I've been studying for a year, and it's time for the children to rest. It just so happens that it's Chinese New Year. I'll take them to the chamber of commerce to buy some new year's goods."

Mrs. Zhang, who comforted her second grandson, kept blinking at her when she saw several grandchildren.

Mrs. Zhang, who understood the meaning of these little guys, returned a helpless look, got up and pulled Zhu Qiyu, said something to Zhu Zhangui, and then called the little guys and a few daughters-in-law to go out the door

Zhu Zhangui opened his mouth, glanced at Yu Qian who was waiting next to him with a memorial, shook his head helplessly, waved at the eunuchs and maids who were still lying on the chairs and standing in the corner, and chose to end today's assessment Finish.

In an instant, there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing in the East Palace, and the eunuchs and maids, who had long been overwhelmed by the atmosphere, all escaped.

Looking at the big family who were about to walk out of the door, Zhu Zhangui suddenly remembered something, pointed at the back of the eldest son and shouted: "Qi Rui, go to the Taimiao and kneel right now, think about what is wrong with you, if you can't figure it out, just go Don't come out."

Zhu Qirui, who was about to go out with his grandma, was beaming with joy, his expression froze instantly.

Mrs. Zhang turned her head and was about to speak, when Zhao Ling'er beside her hurriedly whispered something in her ear.

Mrs. Zhang frowned, glanced at Zhu Qirui, who was pulling her sleeve and begging, and said with a serious expression: "Qi Rui, go, think carefully about what is wrong with you."

After speaking, he ordered the eunuch beside him to take Zhu Qirui to the Taimiao.

Soon there was no one in the courtyard. Zhu Zhangui looked at the door and was silent for a while, then waved at Yu Qian and led him to the study.

"Did something happen over there at the Ministry of War?"

When he came to the study, the personal eunuch Li Da poured two cups of tea, and Zhu Zhangui took a sip of tea from the teacup to moisten his chapped throat from the scolding just now, and asked Yu Qian what he wanted to do.

Zhu Zhangui only cares about military affairs, and all the departments of the imperial court know about it. Yu Qian came over with a memorial, and the other party is also the Minister of the Ministry of War, so it must be about military affairs. Otherwise, if it is about government affairs, he will not bother at all. he.

"I heard that His Highness has a means of transportation called a motorcycle. The Ministry of War wants some for the troops below."

Yu Qian was not polite, and the relationship between the two was so good, so he directly explained his intention of coming.

Zhu Zhangui, who was drinking tea, cast a puzzled look at Yu Qian.

When did this guy get such good news? I just got a motorcycle from the 2nd floor. It hasn’t been put into the market yet, so I put one in the warehouse. Dad doesn’t know. Where did this guy hear about it? of?
"Oh, by the way, there is also a radio station. I suggest that each legion be equipped with one. This will also facilitate the unified command. If there is anything to do, there is no need to send a messenger, and it will be sent directly from the radio station. It is fast and convenient. "

Not paying attention to Zhu Zhangui's eyes, Yu Qian put the memorial in his hand in front of Zhu Zhangui.

"This is the quantity to purchase, please approve it, Your Highness."

The corner of Zhu Zhangui's mouth twitched.

As expected of Yu Shaobao, he just made a plan to distribute the radio station, and before sending it out, he discovered the usefulness of the radio station and came to ask for it.

Zhu Zhangui opened the memorial and glanced at it. When he saw the content clearly, his eyelids trembled and closed again.

"Da da da…"

Tapping the memorial rhythmically with his fingers, Zhu Zhangui looked at Yu Qian who was sitting opposite and drinking tea calmly.

What a fucking ruthless person!

There are a total of 160 national defense regiments in the country, and this guy directly equips each regiment with a large radio station.

One is 1000 million taels, how much is 160?

Zhu Zhangui pinched his fingers and calculated for a long time, and his heart beat violently.

"Do you know how much it costs?"

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Zhangui tapped the memorial.

"I know, but the minister has saved enough."

"Originally, the minister's calculation was for each legion. Later, considering that the garrison troops in various places could be shared with the county town, this part was crossed out."

"I also crossed out the oversized one that was planned for the Ministry of Military Affairs, and decided to use one with the imperial court, so that I can save a lot of money."

Zhu Zhangui asked seriously, but Yu Qian answered very calmly.

The corner of Zhu Zhangui's mouth twitched again.

"Thank you!"

Yu Qian chuckled, "It's okay, saving money for the court, this is what a courtier should do!"

Zhu Zhangui was speechless, whether this guy is really stupid or fake, he can't even hear what he said.

Nima, I really don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

There are 1000 million taels of large radio stations, 160 National Defense Corps, that is, 160 radio stations, and a total of 16 billion silver will be spent.

This is only counted by the general army. If you add the small and medium-sized radio stations used by the various squadrons and squadrons under its jurisdiction, and add them up and down, the budget for the National Defense Forces to equip radio stations will need at least 20 billion silver.

This is just a radio station, Yu Qian is planning to use motorcycles to break up three times and form two quick response troops.

Everyone has thought about the purpose, mainly to control the grasslands and Beiju Luzhou and other northern areas, as well as quickly attack the enemy and prepare for national emergencies.

The price of motorcycles in the supermarket is not high. A motorcycle is priced at 1 taels, but the quantity needed to support this thing is too much.

In the plan of the Ministry of War, the two quick response corps will need a total of 800 Sanbengzi and 3000 modified motorcycles.

Zhu Zhangui rubbed his teeth and stared at Yu Qian who was facing him with a calm face.

"Do you have so much money in the military department? If you buy all the things you need, the military expenditure of your military department for more than ten years may not be enough."

Yu Qian nodded, "Yes, the price is too high, our military department can't afford it, so I plan to ask the court to pay for it."

Zhu Zhangui's expression froze for a moment, "Do you know that, although Xia Yuanji is a literati, he is also the one who dares to stab people with a knife."

Pointing to the memorial on the table, "Believe it or not, show this to Xia Yuanji, and that old guy will fight you with a knife on the spot."

Yu Qian nodded: "Chen Xin, so I didn't plan to look for him, I think it would be better for you to talk to him. And from today on, I have a knife on my body, and I am ready to accept his duel at any time."

"Don't worry, the minister will keep his hand, and won't hurt him and delay government affairs."

Zhu Zhangui stroked his forehead with a headache, why did he fall for this guy, the history books didn't say, this guy is like this.

"Okay, I see. You go back first. I'll think about it. After a while, I'll try to give you some news."

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Yu Qian bowed calmly with his hands clasped together.

"I retire!"

Looking at the leaving back, Zhu Zhangui became more and more depressed as he thought about it, and shouted at Yu Qian's back: "I was in a good mood when I was in New Year's Eve, but I was depressed by you all this time, so I decided to punish you for a month of anger." .”

Yu Qian, who was about to walk out of the door, waved his hand casually, "I will add one more month to try to make you feel better."

"Yu Qian, your uncle!"

An angry scolding, spread far and wide from the study.

Yu Qian who walked out of the study shrugged.

"My uncle is your father-in-law, you can do whatever you want!"

..........................................

December 28th of the third year of Hongxi.

Today is the annual Great Court Meeting, and all officials in Beijing, regardless of their rank, have come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to participate in this annual summary.

All the officials looked serious, feeling uneasy in their hearts, and their eyelids kept twitching wildly.

It stands to reason that the officials should be in a good mood after finishing work today. Why do they have such expressions?
If this were placed in the previous two years, the officials would indeed be in this mood.

But this year is different, because the prince is back.

Mentioning the prince, the officials became worried for a while.

Counting the meetings that the crown prince attended since he came back, it seems that none of them was easy, either killing or swearing.

When Zhu Pangpang was alone at home two years ago, everyone lived very comfortably. After all, Zhu Pangpang was not the kind of emperor who would kill people at every turn.

But this year, everyone is unhappy, and the prince is back.

Everyone is thinking about who is going to be unlucky today, or thinking carefully about whether they have done anything that violated the law in the past two years.

Those who are afraid are naturally those who are not. Most of these officials who are not afraid are honest officials.

For example, Yu Qian who never eats cards, or Xia Yuanji who is only worried about increasing the wealth of the national treasury.

Hey, why is there something wrong with Xia Shangshu's eyes today?

Taking a closer look, I saw that this guy was staring at Yu Qian, and he couldn't hide the look in his eyes that couldn't help but want to kill someone.

The reason why Xia Yuanji had this look was because Zhu Zhangui came to him yesterday and showed him the needs of the Ministry of War.

Good guy!
Xia Yuanji exploded on the spot.

In the old man's words, "He is the Minister of the Household Department, not the God of Wealth in the sky, let alone an old fairy who turns stone into gold."

"The bastard from Wishing Pool didn't dare to speak like this. Where did the Ministry of War have the courage to ask him for so much money?"

At that time, if Zhu Zhangui hadn't been pulling him, this old man would have drawn his sword and gone to Yu Qian to fight for his life.

So fucking bully.

Is it easy for him to be the secretary of the household department?

Every day I spend my life digging and searching, I just want to make the country rich.

As a result, money is needed for this and that is for money. Since the national railway plan and the reorganization and reorganization of the army, there has never been a tael of silver left in the warehouse of the household department.

The mice who managed to get enough to eat in the past two years have fled the famine with tears on their backs in the past two years.

Before leaving, he also left some rations for Xia Yuanji that he had stolen, for fear that his former owner would starve to death.

This year Zhu Zhangui managed to get some money from the outside, Xia Yuanji also thought about saving a province, or putting it in the bank to earn some interest, so that the money can make money.

As a result, before the money reached the warehouse, Zhu Zhangui took it away on the second day, saying that it was to buy radio stations for various provinces.

At the beginning, Xia Yuanji strongly objected, what the hell is the radio station, how could it cost so much money?
But when he saw the radio station and knew the function of the radio station, he didn't say anything, and silently sent the money out.

Good guy, save three years and three years, and go back to before liberation.

Daming's warehouse was empty again, not to mention the things needed by the Ministry of War, Xia Yuanji didn't know where to get the money for the salaries that would be given to officials at the end of the year.

Zhu Zhangui came to him yesterday, and he wanted to mention this matter, but he was so confused later that he forgot about it.

The more he thought about it, the more he hated it, Xia Yuanji glanced at the Xiuchun knife hanging on the waist of Jin Yiwei who was standing guard next to him, wishing he could pull it out and chop Yu Qian, the prodigal son.

"The holy driver is here!"

Following Zhu Pangpang's personal eunuch shouted, Zhu Pangpang and Zhu Zhangui knelt down before the civil and military officials and came to the hall.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Everyone loves to be flat!"

Zhu Pangpang, who was supported by his son to sit down, smiled and stretched out his hand to make Baiguan stand up.

"Thanks my emperor!"

When the officials got up and went back to work, Zhu Pangpang coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Another year has passed, everyone has worked hard this year!"

"This is the duty of a minister, and I dare not speak bitterly!"

Zhu Pangpang's hard-working words made the nervous officials relax a little.But when he caught a glimpse of Zhu Zhangui standing under the jade steps, his face was bitter again!
"Cough cough!"

Noticing everyone's expressions, Zhu Zhangui coughed lightly, and many officials trembled subconsciously.

It seems that Zhu Zhangui, the prince, has left a lot of bad shadows in their hearts.

Zhu Zhangui nodded in satisfaction, smiled and said to the officials: "In the past two years, I have been alone in the palace. All the ministers have worked hard to assist the father, and Zhangui saluted and thanked you!"

"The ministers dare not, the ministers are terrified!"

Good guy, Zhu Zhangui's salute made everyone even more panicked.

Are you planning to give courtesy first and then soldiers?

Could it be that the happier the smile on the face, the harder the knife will be.

Some guilty hands in their sleeves trembled.

However, the thunderstorm they were waiting for did not come.

After Zhu Zhangui saluted and thanked him, he stood aside and chatted with Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, who had been a little chubby because of his chic life in the past few years, and exchanged in a low voice with a smile on his face.

It's not that Zhu Zhangui doesn't want to deal with it, but Zhu Pangpang doesn't allow it.

In Zhu Pangpang's words, "I haven't had a happy year when you and my father are at home, so let me have a safe year too. If you have any problems, you can talk about them after the new year."

So Zhu Zhangui came here to gather the number of people today, and he didn't intend to make trouble today.

Zhu Zhangui doesn't intend to make a fuss, but someone wants to make a fuss today.

"Your Majesty, I have a book to play!"

The officials were still wondering why Zhu Zhangui didn't show off his power this year, Xia Yuanji, who seldom spoke when going to court, stepped forward.

"Uh, what's the matter with Xia Aiqing?"

Zhu Pangpang, who was about to announce the start of the year-end summary meeting, looked at Xia Yuanji suspiciously.

Didn't we just finish discussing things yesterday morning?Nothing happened yesterday afternoon. Why is this guy full of resentment? Who offended him again?
"I want to impeach Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War!"

Xia Yuanji pointed to Yu Qian, the only one in a pile of red official uniforms who was very conspicuous in blue official uniforms, and said angrily:

"My minister impeached Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War, for disregarding the court's finances and adding equipment to the army indiscriminately!"

Now everyone is even more puzzled.

As Minister of the Ministry of War, Yu Qian added equipment to the army, which was his job.

When Yang Shiqi was Minister of the Ministry of War, he often wrote letters to increase equipment for the army. This is a very normal thing. At that time, I never saw Xia Yuanji with such a big reaction.

Why did Xia Yuanji look bitter and bitter about such a normal thing, as if Yu Qian had robbed his wife.

"This…"

Zhu Pangpang was a little confused, he looked at Xia Yuanji suspiciously.

"Xia Aiqing, as Minister of the Ministry of War, Yu Aiqing adds equipment to the army. This is his job. Is there anything wrong?"

Xia Yuanji wiped his face when he heard the words, and said in a crying tone: "Your Majesty, it is his job to add equipment to the army. This minister knows that if it is some ordinary equipment, he will naturally not stop him, and he will definitely have a good time." pay for it."

"But do you know what equipment he wants this time? Do you know how much it costs?"

"How many?"

Zhu Pangpang looked at Yu Qian who seemed to have expected it and looked calm.

Yu Qian walked out of the class under Xia Yuanji's cannibalistic eyes, clasped his hands and replied: "Going back to the emperor, they are all ordinary equipment, and the cost is not much!"

As soon as Zhu Pangpang showed a relaxed expression, he was almost choked to death by Yu Qian's next words.

"It's only two billion taels of silver!"

"Cough cough cough..."

For a moment, the main hall was filled with the sound of choked coughs, and the faces of several veteran officials turned red.

Zhu Pangpang took a few breaths, pulled his ears hard, and looked at Yu Qian in disbelief.

"How much did you say?"

Yu Qian stretched out two fingers.

"It's only 20 billion taels!"

Yu Qian's tone seemed to be that what he wanted was 20 taels of silver, and anyone who came here could take it out casually.

20 billion taels!

That's it!

My dear mother, Yu Shangshu, do you have any misunderstandings about money?
Or maybe you don't know what the money means?
Everyone looked at Yu Qian in bewilderment, wondering where this guy got his confidence, making him feel that 20 billion silver is not much.

"Have you heard it all! You have heard it all!"

"Two billion taels. If the fucking court has so much money, I will retire and go home to take care of myself. The court won't have to worry about financial problems for decades."

"Two billion taels, the money spent in the army is almost enough to give all the soldiers a set of silver armor. Damn it, I can't figure it out. Where does Yu Qian have the confidence to ask for so much money! "

It seemed that Xia Yuanji was really angry. In such a serious meeting as the Dachaohui, he uttered obscenities.

That's why the censors were also shocked, and they didn't react for a while, otherwise they would definitely impeach him for the crime of disrespect.

"Hoohoo!"

Zhu Pangpang took a few deep breaths before suppressing the urge to scold her.

His mentality is so good that he was so shocked that he almost scolded his mother. It is conceivable that Xia Yuanji, who is the person involved, is very angry because of this.

"Yu Aiqing, do you have any misunderstanding about money, or do you not know what the two billion taels of silver represent?"

Not paying attention to everyone's eyes, Yu Qian nodded calmly.

"I know." Before Zhu Pangpang opened his mouth to speak, Yu Qian continued: "I also know that the court can afford such a sum of money."

Now the hall was suddenly quiet.

Not shocked, but really speechless.

Everyone is thinking, is it so easy to be a Shangshu now?A fool like Yu Qian can be a minister, so can someone with a normal IQ like himself apply for it?

"Hahaha... the imperial court can afford the money." Xia Yuanji was so annoyed that he pointed at Yu Qian and said sarcastically, "Since Yu Shangshu said that the imperial court can afford the money, why don't we exchange it? Your minister of the Ministry of War, you come to serve as the minister of the household department, I want to see where you can get so much money from."

"I'll tell you that my surname is Yu, as long as you give me the money, not only will I be convinced, but even let me recognize you as my father."

"Ha, the court can still get it out. I have been the secretary of the household department for so many years, and I know exactly how every tael of silver comes and goes. I can tell you responsibly, let alone the court. This year's salary may not be able to afford it."

Looking at Yu Qian who was still calm in the face of Xia Yuanji's ridicule, many people who admired him secretly shook their heads.

This is Yu Qian, the position of Shangshu is over.

If this kind of Shangshu who disregarded the court's finances and randomly increased equipment, if he can continue to do so, then everyone will doubt Zhu Pangpang's vision of people.

"Yu Qian, since you said that the court can afford the money, then tell me where the money is."

Zhu Pangpang also seemed to be speechless by this guy, he didn't even call Ai Qing, and just called Yu Qian's name catchy, obviously he had crossed this guy out of his mind.

It is true that Yu Qian has relatives with his own family, but Zhu Pangpang is not the kind of crony emperor.

The Ministry of War is related to the soldiers and horses of the world, Zhu Pangpang is not at ease to put a sloppy person in this position.

He even thought about it in his heart, if Zhu Zhangui pleaded for Yu Qian, how should he speak out to teach Zhu Zhangui a lesson.

"Returning to the emperor, the humble minister is not talking wildly, but that our court does have so much money, but the money is not in the court's household department, but in other places."

"And the value of this money is definitely more than 20 billion taels."

Zhu Zhangui, who was about to watch the fun, heard Yu Qian's words, his eyelids twitched wildly, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

Sure enough, Yu Qian's next actions and words proved that this feeling in his heart was correct.

Under the helpless and contemptuous eyes of everyone, Yu Qian pointed at Zhu Zhangui.

"According to Wei Chen's knowledge, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince encountered a force overseas who wanted to rise up and establish a kingdom, but because of its lack of strength, it wanted the support of Daming."

"In order to get Daming's support, this faction dedicates all of the family's three gold mines that have been produced for a hundred years to His Royal Highness, just to get a chance to support them."

"The family's storage for nearly a hundred years is astonishing, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the world's most."

"That's why I said that the court has money and can afford it."

"Wow!"

As soon as Yu Qian finished speaking, there was an instant uproar in the hall, and everyone looked at Zhu Zhangui in shock, wanting to confirm whether the news was true.

At the same time, I was also curious about where Yu Qian heard the news, and why they didn't receive any letter.

Xia Yuanji trembled with excitement, his eyes fixed on Zhu Zhangui.

He dared to swear to God that if he really had so much money, he would definitely take the people from the household department to move all those cute little money back immediately.

Yes, there are still gold mines.

How can such a precious thing be safe in the hands of a small force? Only in the hands of Daming can the safety of the gold mine be guaranteed, and the gold can be used for what it should be.

As for the small family how to deal with it?

Hehe, I have never heard of such a small family. This is a gold mine that Daming sent countless people to investigate through untold hardships. There is no such thing as a small family.

As an insider of the imperial court, he knew about Ming's plan to conquer the world in the future.

He doesn't care about other things, and neither does Xia Yuanji.

But as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he insisted on intervening in money matters.

Eh... um... all um...

Zhu Pangpang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was shaking violently as if his whole body had been shaken by an earthquake.

Only after he became emperor did he know how useful money was to the court.

Well, to be precise, he knew the use of money since he was in charge of the country.

It's just that the old man was on top of him before, so his pressure wasn't that great.

But since he became the emperor and took over all the affairs of the entire Ming Dynasty, he found that 99% of the government affairs of the court can be solved with money.

But the imperial court is short of money.

Money is needed to build railways, money is needed to build mausoleums, money is needed to reorganize the army, money is needed to dredge waterways, money is needed for disaster relief and resettlement of the people, and the navy needs money every day clamoring to replace steel warships.

In the past few years, the imperial court has indeed made some money by developing the colonies, but there are many places where the money cannot be spent.

Approving those memorials that cost money every day, Zhu Pangpang seems to be cutting his flesh.

If what Yu Qian said is true, and his son does have a large sum of gold in his hands, it will definitely solve the current urgent need of the court.

As for the issue of changing the clothes of the Ministry of War, he glanced at Yu Qian, thinking that if it wasn't the main thing, he should postpone it.

But then he shook his head.

Equipment that can cost so much money is definitely a very important thing, and it may even affect the overall combat effectiveness of the army.

For a while, Zhu Pangpang was extremely entangled. He didn't know whether to use the money first on the people or on the army.

After thinking about it, he suddenly froze for a moment.

I seem to be thinking too much. The premise of all this is that the gold is real. If it is fake, then it is useless to think too much about it.

So, he looked expectantly at his son.

Zhu Zhangui, who was watched by everyone, looked up at the roof, pretending that I don't understand what you mean.

At first, everyone was still a little skeptical, thinking that Yu Qian heard the gossip from there.

But when they saw Zhu Zhangui like this, they were shocked, and instantly confirmed that the news might be true.

Because Zhu Zhangui's expression at this time was exactly the same as when he came back with [-] million taels, Zhu Di asked him if he really looked the same.

ps: I didn’t have time to tell you about some things yesterday. I asked for leave for a day, and I made up for it today.

In addition, due to some reasons, the Western plot needs to be suspended for a while, as long as everyone understands it in their hearts.
