Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 56

Seeing Li Wei's stunned look, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile proudly.

Brat, no matter how much you jump around, we can't hold you down so easily!

"Your Majesty, I am a humble minister who is not very talented and has little knowledge. I am afraid that he is not qualified for the position of minister. I would like to ask your Majesty to take back my order!"

"Hmph, I'll take it as a joke. I can't take it back."

Do you know Jingkou Yuyan at this time?
"I beg for the bones!"

"How old are you to beg for bones from us? No!"

"I don't care, I'm quitting anyway." Li Wei said forcefully.

"Heh, where do you think we are, you can do whatever you want and leave if you don't want to?"

Li Wei was furious, when had I ever wanted to do this?You obviously forced me, okay?

After failing to resign, Li Wei didn't even say he was resigning. He turned around and walked away angrily. Behind him, Zhu Yuanzhang watched him leave with a sneer. He took out a small notebook and wrote down a sentence that was unbecoming of a king...

Li Wei lowered his head angrily and walked forward. Not far out of the hall, he suddenly met a little girl and almost bumped into her.

"Princess be careful!"

"Ah~! Li Wei? Aren't you dead?"

The little princess saw Li Wei's face clearly, screamed in fright and hid behind the palace maid Xiao Hong and asked.

Since "Li Wei died", she has been depressed in the past few months and rarely comes to Qianqing Palace to deliver meals to her dear father. And even if she comes once in a while, she comes late and Li Wei leaves early every day. , so I have never encountered it.

Although many guards in the palace knew that Li Wei was not dead, these words were said by the emperor. Even if it was just a casual remark, they did not dare to say more.

"Ah, bah, bah, bah, childish words are unbridled, childish words are unbridled!" Li Wei said displeased.

The little princess walked out from behind Xiaohong, looked at Li Wei carefully, and then said in surprise: "It turns out you are not dead!"

"You just died!"

Li Wei was angry with Zhu Yuanzhang at this time. When he heard her opening and closing her mouth to curse him to death, he immediately became even more angry.

"How dare you curse the princess!" Xiaohong next to her immediately yelled.

Li Wei rolled his eyes at her, ignored her, turned around and left.

"Where are you going?" the little princess shouted behind him.

"Nonsense, of course I'm going home!"

After waiting for so long to get these ten thousand gold today, he was working overtime!
"Then when will you come again?"

"Never again!" Li Wei replied without looking back.

The little princess looked at his leaving figure and stamped her feet angrily.

When Li Wei's figure disappeared outside the palace gate, he left with an unhappy look on his face.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang happily sipped tea. When Li Wei's business failed, he asked the imperial shop to copy Li Wei's model. Once the capital was ready, he would promote it below. By then, dozens of people a year would Wan Guan's profit is obtained.

"Father, didn't you say that Li Wei was dead?"

At this time, the little princess walked in with an unhappy face and opened her mouth to question.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and glanced at his precious daughter, knowing that she must have met Li Wei outside, so he said casually: "Oh, I just said it casually."

He didn't want to keep this matter a secret from the beginning, he just wanted his daughter to calm down and not be led astray by that piece of shit.

"Tea for you!"

The little princess pouted and angrily put the lunch box on the imperial desk.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it and frowned slightly: "You girl, you are so old and you have no manners at all!"

"Hum..."

The little princess hummed, not wanting to pay attention to this liar father, and silently reciting the song Li Wei taught her:
"Ugly monsters, big monsters, lazy monsters..."...

When Li Wei left the palace gate, he happened to run into Wu Bozong, who had just left the Yamen. Unlike him, he was late and left early every day.

"Master Li."

Wu Bozong raised his hand in greeting.

"Master Wu." Li Weizheng was sulking. Seeing Wu Bozong greeting him, he replied absently.

Then he suddenly thought that Wu Bozong was the number one scholar with a criminal record. He took out the ten pieces of money from his body and asked unwillingly:

"Old Wu, do you think this is ten thousand gold?"

Wu Bozong was stunned for a moment and looked at the treasure note in Li Wei's hand, wondering what he meant.

"This can also be the case."

"What do you mean?"

Wu Bozong thought for a while and explained: "The so-called gold refers to money. Wanjin means ten thousand coins. But whether this coin is gold, silver or copper depends on the environment at that time."

After hearing this, Li Wei suddenly understood. The so-called reward of 1 yuan is equivalent to the saying that later generations will give you [-] yuan, but this money can be RMB, Daole, or of course, Zimbabwean currency.

This Lao Zhu was just playing tricks on him, deliberately not making it clear when talking about rewards.

Li Wei's teeth itched with hatred.

"When will Mr. Li come on duty tomorrow?"

Wu Bozong asked, now Li Wei is running around all day long, and he can't find anyone else in the cabinet when something happens.

"Not coming! I'm going on strike!"

Li Wei said fiercely.

Wu Bozong was confused, not knowing what kind of trouble he was going to make.

When Li Wei got home, he went straight to work. He didn't go to the cabinet or the military affairs. Apart from sending several resignation letters, he did nothing else and stayed at home all day long.

As for the business, he felt that it couldn't be stopped. There were so many people waiting for him to pay wages. How could he stop just by saying it?

Now that the business is gradually getting back on track, he no longer needs to do everything himself.

Li Wei didn't go out, but someone came to his door. This person was King Yan Zhu Di.

Zhu Di became very interested in firearms after watching a flintlock drill. His mind was filled with the idea of ​​using firearms to form a new army. He stayed up all night after returning home, and the next day he came to see Li Wei with a generous gift. .

Li Wei was very surprised when Laifu informed him. He had never met the future Emperor Yongle, so why should he be looking for him?Now that Lao Zhu Jian is here and Zhu Biao is not dead, we can't make him rebel now, right?
When Li Wei and Laifu came to the door, they saw Zhu Di dressed in casual clothes and not putting on any airs, looking like a polite and virtuous corporal.

"The lower official has seen the prince."

"You don't have to be polite, Mr. Li. I came to visit you so rashly, so I'm inconvenient."

Zhu Di said with a smile, his attitude was very enthusiastic.

"No, no, I'm free anyway, please come in, Your Majesty."

"it is good."

When the two arrived at the main room, the guests of honor took their seats. Zhu Di first asked the servants following him to put down the gifts and said:
"It's a little disrespectful, but I hope Mr. Li will accept it."

Li Wei quietly took a look at the gifts and thought that Emperor Yongle was a good man, unlike his father who not only refused to bring gifts to others' homes, but also robbed them of their things.

He was a straight-tempered person, and he silently praised Zhu Di in his heart, and then asked directly:
"Does the prince come to see me for anything?"

Zhu Di did not hide it and said directly: "Yesterday, the King of Japan saw Mr. Li conducting a firearms drill at the school grounds. He was very interested in the firearms and military formations created by Mr. Li and came here to ask for advice."

Li Wei suddenly realized that the co-author was interested in flintlock guns. Indeed, Zhu Di was a war fanatic in history. He was either fighting or preparing for war. He was often away from the court. Fortunately, he also had a good son who gave him a gun. Government affairs are kept in order, otherwise his court would have been in chaos.
