Chapter 172 Where is the gold? !

Zhang Yu and Zheng He are so beautiful in their hearts!
Following the emperor's grandson will not only make you popular, drink spicy food, and have money to spend, but you can also pretend to be thirteen at the center of the Ming Dynasty!
This feeling is so awesome!

Look at the shocked looks and envious eyes of those noble ministers who usually have their noses turned upward.

Well, there is only one word left on the whole body: cool!

Two words, really cool!

So proud!

Zhang Yu simply stated the causes and consequences of that battle, which was not enough.

For those generals in the early Ming Dynasty, they wanted to hear the fierceness of the battle and the embarrassment of Wai Guoren!

Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang announced the dissolution of the dynasty,
Zhang Yu and Zheng He, who had followed Zhu Yunxi to attend the court meeting, were surrounded by military generals and could not leave even if they wanted to.

This was also the purpose of Zhu Yunxi insisting on catching them. Of course, he reported it to Zhu Yuanzhang in advance.

"My grandson is too lazy to waste time with them. If he has that time, he might as well go to the East Palace to tinker with those good things."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew how many rare things he brought back.

He couldn't wait to go back down and take a look.

Therefore, Zhu Yunxi's request was granted.

But at present, the inventory of their achievements in this trip to sea is not over yet. The collection of maritime protection fees is only one aspect, and there is also the first two taels of gold in the amount of [-].

So, when Xia Yuanji, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, opened the page of the Javanese Credentials, he was so surprised that he almost dropped the Credentials to the ground before he could read it aloud!

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite displeased when he saw the young official's excitement and recklessness, and he let out a question from his nose.

Xia Yuanji quickly adjusted his breathing, cleared his throat and read:
"The king of Java has been a vassal to the Ming Dynasty for generations, and he has given out [-] gold coins as a pension for accidentally injuring the Ming Dynasty soldiers to express his extreme apology and sincerity."

"what!"

"what?"

"Master Xia? Did you read that correctly?"

"That's right, where is this Java country? What's going on?!"

"Yes, they dared to accidentally injure me, Sergeant Daming. How many injuries were caused? Paying so much gold?!"

"Oh my God, is the Third Emperor's grandson going to sea to draw circles, or is he going to sea to grab money?!

"That's right. Why did he not only transport a whole boat of silver back when he went out, he also brought back gold?!"

"Oh my god, I just want ten taels!"

"You are so shameless, Young Master Yiliang?"

"Yes, my God, this emperor's grandson is simply the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty."

"He went out for a walk and came back not only without spending money, but also with money! And it's gold! 1 taels of gold!"

"Isn't it too awesome?"

"Hey, hey, who looked down on the grandson of the emperor who lives in the East Palace in the first place?"

Some civil servants who originally supported Zhu Yunwen did not even dare to speak out.

They also thought about the country and the country of Ming Dynasty,
To appoint a royal descendant who has never appeared in front of the public as the heir to the throne,
Of course it's not advisable, that's their job,
Now that the emperor's grandson has grown up, they have no reason to refute.

"His Royal Highness's principle of doing things is to solve things that can be solved with money, so let's not argue!

If you have the ability to kill my soldiers, you must have the ability to pay for the pension, right? ! "

Zhang Yu said to Fu Youde who was standing next to him: "At first, the emperor's grandson asked for 600 million taels, but the country was too small and too poor.
It is estimated that this is the number they dug up.You haven't seen that king cry. "

Fu Youde's eyes lit up when he heard this!
My mother, isn’t that too relieving? !
"I want to go too!"

“I still want to go!

Xu Huizu would be so envious!
Look at others, they are younger than me, they have traveled around the world, but as for me, my father always suppresses me, not letting me do this or that!

Really, he vowed that from now on, he would hug the emperor's grandson's thigh tightly and follow him to the sea to swim in the waves!

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows and eyes on the dragon stage were all smiling. Well, this grandson is reliable in doing things!

But I heard Zhu Yunxi say:
"But Grandpa, don't be too happy. These are the numbers on the books.
I have already promised those soldiers,
To the more than 100 soldiers who died in the army,
Each person was given 500 taels of silver as a pension to their families.

They followed me to sea to honor their ancestors and earn money to support their families.
As a result, I lost my life in a foreign country. I am responsible for this!

So, grandpa, you don’t have any objections, do you? ! "

Zhu Yunxi's voice was not loud, but Zhu Yuanzhang heard clearly.

This bitch is so generous!

Are the lives of those soldiers worth so much? !
500 taels?It’s enough to last them three lifetimes!

However, as the king of a country, he would not dare to say such words on such an occasion, otherwise, it would be a good show.

It’s true that if you don’t have a family, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, and if you don’t raise children, you don’t know the kindness of your parents!

It seems that it is time to find him a concubine to help him take care of all the affairs of the house, especially to supervise his spending.

If this continues, wouldn't he become a prodigal? !

However, at this time he had a question:

"Xie'er, can you tell Grandpa why they paid gold, but you have to give them silver as a pension?!"

Zhu Yunxi was stunned. He didn't expect Grandpa Huang to ask such a clumsy question.

Isn't this obvious? !
It seems that Grandpa Huang is really old!

He couldn't help but sigh, and then whispered to Grandpa Huang:
“Grandpa, give them gold, where will they spend it?!
How inconvenient? !
Those who died were all the young and middle-aged people in the family, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled.

My grandson might as well just give them money so that they can have peace of mind. "

After saying that, he deliberately kept his eyes on Zhu Yuanzhang's face for a while.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw his grandson staring at him, he asked:
"What are you looking at? Are you stupid? You don't recognize grandpa anymore?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at his grandfather's white hair and beard, and even his eyebrows were white, and his nose felt sour.
He remembered that it was his father's death that caused his grandfather to grow old overnight.

Hey, grandpa's life is not easy.

So, he squatted down and nestled at Zhu Yuanzhang's feet again.

"Grandpa, do you think our Ming Dynasty's military household system is really reasonable?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his alarm bells started ringing in his heart!
What are you doing, you brat? !
Does he still want to take action against the military household system? !
That won't work!

This road guide system has not yet been implemented nationwide.
If he attacks the military household system again, the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos!
So, he frowned and said to Xia Yuanji:
"We're tired, let's get here today, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

Then he quickly returned to the palace with the help of Li Erhu.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Grandpa Huang who had fled, and the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't help but expand, expand!

The ministers standing below looked confused.
