Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 68 Fourth, you have a pig brain?

plunder.

This word is not nice to hear.

Search for what?
That must be the people's wealth and people's anointing!
Zhu Ping, this is an injustice!

"Father, it is clear that I have never robbed my people of their wealth and anointing. The King of Qin is trying to frame my son!" Zhu Di immediately counterattacked.

"If you don't search, you don't search. I'm just making a metaphor. Why are you so sensitive?" Zhu Chong blocked Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth before he could speak.

"okay!"

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes at Zhu Xi.

This kid is a little jumpy!

However, for the sake of my son, I might as well endure it!
mainly……

This son is rich!

Not to mention anything else, the red wine business also made Zhu Yuanzhang a lot of money.

There is a monthly income of one million taels of silver.

But even so, the finances of the Ming Dynasty still gave Zhu Yuanzhang a headache.

Since the beginning of this year, Lingnan's taxes, including the money given by Zhu Ping's filial piety, and the 200 million earned in the two months since the wine business was launched, a total of almost 600 million taels of silver, have been used to make up for the deficit.

However, this hole still cannot be filled.

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped printing Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. As a result, the price of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes continued to fall. If this continues, the people may regress to the era of barter and directly return to the period of tribal civilization.

The economy is in stagnant water.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang is now obsessed with making money.

For this reason, a new Prime Minister Zuo was appointed this year, hoping to solve the current dilemma of the court.

But still no improvement.

Lingnan, on the other hand, is developing rapidly.

Zhu Yuanzhang went to Lingnan.

There, the price of King Qin's treasure notes has always been very stable, with almost no fluctuations. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to seek advice from Zhu Cang. Naturally, he would not really blame Zhu Cang at this time.

Zhu Di presented a congratulatory gift.

They are:
A pair of onyx.

A pair of jade carved unicorns.

A golden brush.

Altogether, I'm afraid not even 1 taels.

However, Zhu Di's congratulatory gifts were relatively valuable among the vassal kings.

Among the rest of the people, they were either good at calligraphy and painting, or even things like Shoudao. Looking at Zhu Xiangzhi shaking his head, Zhu Yuanzhang did not dislike him. He was born in a poor family, so he always asked these sons to be simple and frugal.

"Prince Qin, Prince, you are the only ones left, who comes first?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

Zhu Biao said: "Father, let the second brother come first!"

"No, it's you first."

Zhu Ming said without giving any face: "If you let me come first, I'm afraid I won't be able to take out those things after you wait. Look at each of you, what are you giving to your father? Gold, jade, agate, jade Coral...these things may look good, but they are of little use and are a complete waste of money.”

"You have something good, so take it out!" Zhu Di was unhappy.

He is also depressed.

Ever since I met Zhu Xi, I have been criticized by him, but he always suffered the loss...

"The prince should invite you first!" Zhu Xi ignored Zhu Di.

Zhu Di wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhu Biao.

He stepped forward, saluted solemnly, and said a congratulatory speech.

Then, someone announced the gift list. It turned out to be a painting by a famous artist from the previous dynasty. It was indeed valuable, but it only cost tens of thousands taels. At this time, Zhu Biao said again: "Father, I personally copied the Buddhist scriptures for you. I drew another picture of longevity.”

"You are thoughtful!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and praised Zhu Biao to Queen Ma on the side.

Queen Ma also said: "Get up, you won't feel tired even if you kneel."

"Yes, Father and Queen!" Zhu Biao stood up obediently.

"Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to Zhu Biao to step back, and then said: "Second brother, it's your turn."

"My son, I sincerely wish my father a long life and my mother eternal youth."

Zhu Xi immediately came out and said his congratulations.

As a result, it naturally feels old-fashioned and tacky.

But it’s also straightforward.

But no one dared to stand up and say anything at this time, for fear of offending Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, people like Zhu Di must be sneering in their hearts.

"Let's see what he can give away!" Zhu Di whispered to several ministers who were close to him.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You don't need to salute."

Everyone was stunned.

Good guy!
So many sons, every one of them knelt down. Even the prince, Zhu Yuanzhang, did not give him such a special case. So when he got to Zhu Xi, he didn't have to kneel down?
Kneel down to your parents and worship heaven and earth. This is human nature!

Looking at Zhu Xi again, he really stopped worshiping and said with a smile: "Father, I have no other gift, just a lot of silver. Today is my father's birthday, so I specially present 10 taels of gold and 50 taels of silver." , Father, you must accept it!"

"Wow~"

"boom!"

"..."

As soon as Zhu Ping finished speaking, everyone present was shocked.

what?
10 taels of gold, 50 taels of silver?

This is 150 million taels!

Zhu Ming alone sent more congratulatory gifts than everyone else combined...even several times more than others.

"Father!"

Zhu Di couldn't help it anymore and stood up and said excitedly: "My son wanted to accuse the King of Qin of plundering the common people and plundering the people's fat. In less than a year, so much money was plundered in Lingnan. I beg my father to investigate thoroughly!" "

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was very happy, rolled his eyes when he heard this.

What's going on with this fourth child?

Don't know what day it is?
Who are you making trouble with here?
Whose scenery is this?

Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down, then looked at Zhu Xi and said: "King Qin, King Yan said that you got so much gold and silver from people's fat and anointing. What do you have to say?"

"No."

Zhu Ming replied: "Back to my father, this money was indeed collected by my son in Lingnan. As long as you have money, can you make do with it, father?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless and said in a cold voice: "Speak carefully! If this money is really obtained by you and the common people, can I use it?"

"All right!"

Zhu Xi turned his head and glanced at Zhu Di with a look that looked like an idiot. Then he looked around at everyone and said loudly: "Everyone sitting here is a minister of my father, and their knowledge is different from ordinary people. I ask A question for you... Is Lingnan a wealthy place?"

Lingnan?

In everyone's mind, it is a barren land.

There are poisonous miasma and poisonous insects all over the place, and the heat is unbearable...

It’s strange that such a place can be so wealthy!

So everyone shook their heads and no one nodded.

"Compared to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Lianghu, Guanzhong, and even Yandi, Lingnan is the poorest place?" Zhu Xi asked again.

"Lingnan."

"Lingnan!"

"You still need to ask? It must be Lingnan!"

"..."

Everyone's answers were very consistent.

Zhu Xi came to Zhu Di at this time, looked at him and asked: "Fourth, use your pig brain to think about it. If you go to a place where the annual tax payment does not exceed 1 taels, what can you plunder?" Will you give me a few million taels of silver?"

Zhu Di's face turned green.
