Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father
Chapter 50 The country is short of money!
Chapter 50 The country is short of money!
This is called killing people invisible.
Zhou Dexing is not only good at fighting, he is also very thoughtful. Otherwise, there would be local famines every year in the Ming Dynasty, and he embezzled a lot of the disaster relief funds every year. Why didn't anyone expose it?
Zhou Ji said with some distress: "Dad, this is our family heirloom! Don't you always think that when so many people conquered Dadu, they were all looking for this golden seal?"
"It would be great if we keep this golden seal and pass it on from generation to generation."
"Or, let's change it to something else?"
A ruthless look appeared on Zhou Dexing's face: "This little fuss is nothing. As long as Zhu Yunwen ascends the throne, we can get more than this. Don't be greedy for the small profits in front of you. This is not what people who do big things should look like." "
"It's done, go ahead and find an opportunity to hand over the golden seal to Tianyun Temple in a reasonable manner."
Zhou Dexing narrowed his eyes: "Once the old man finds out, Tianyunguan's good days will come to an end!"
Zhou Ji was still a little distressed, but since his father had said so, he couldn't refute, so he nodded and said, "Okay! Let's do it now, kid!"

….….…….….….
The next day.
Early in the morning, after Zhu Yuanzhang's court meeting, he returned to Fengtian Hall with mixed feelings.
Some time ago.
In order to wipe out the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Fu Youde as the Marshal of the Army and led the army to attack Yunnan and wipe out the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty.
Fu Youde won the battle in Yunnan, and the Ming Dynasty completely seized control of Yunnan.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy.
But all the problems that can replace it have arrived.
Yunnan was plundered countless times by the Yuan Dynasty, and wives and children were scattered everywhere. All these needed to be wiped out by the imperial court.
Moreover, there have been heavy rains in Yunnan recently, flooding tens of thousands of farmlands, and the heavy rains have no intention of stopping, which requires the court to allocate a large amount of funds for disaster relief.
In summary, Zhu Yuanzhang is really short of money now!
Zhu Yuanzhang was a good emperor who cared about the people from the bottom of his heart, so he collected very little agricultural taxes.
At the same time, he looked down on businessmen, so the court's business taxes were pitifully low.
As a result, the taxes collected by the court every year were even more stretched.
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang could control the power of life and death for everyone, he still had worries when facing the country's poor situation.
This news,
After Chen Hong, the eunuch under his command, found out about it, he looked for an opportunity and went to the East Palace.
Chen Hong has always received favors from Zhu Yunwen's mother and son. Now that the old man is in trouble, his value must be reflected.
……
East Palace.
Ms. Lu was reading with her son when Chen Hong came over and stood at a distance.
Mrs. Lu hurriedly got up and walked over. After Chen Hong finished speaking, Mrs. Lu gave Chen Hong some money, sent Chen Hong away, and then hurried back.
She said with a happy face: "Son, the opportunity has come."
Zhu Yunwen's expression was a little dull, and he said in confusion: "Mom, what's wrong?"
Lu said happily: "Your grandpa is worried about money now. You go to the school today to discuss with the masters how to collect money for your grandpa. This is called resolving your worries."
"If your grandpa Huang knew that you care about your family and country, he would definitely be happy."
Zhu Yunwen said dullly: "But... I don't know how to make money."
Mrs. Lu gently rubbed his head and said with a smile: "So you have to discuss it with Master. No matter what, just like making noodles last night, just let your grandpa know that you have this heart!"
"Tell me, was your grandpa happy eating your noodles last night?"
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and nodded without thinking: "Grandpa Huang is very happy and keeps praising me for being sensible!"
"I ate it after that meeting. Although I tried hard, it was still a bit unpalatable, but Grandpa Huang ate it all." Ms. Lu smiled and said, "So, you have such concern for the country and the people, your Majesty Grandpa will be happy."
"Son, remember, except for filial piety, don't talk about anything else. It's not the time yet."
"Wait until your grandpa Huang changes his impression of you before you step out of your filial piety and do other things."
Zhu Yunwen nodded heavily: "I understand, kid! Thank you, mother!"
Mrs. Lu pinched Zhu Yunwen's cheek: "Silly boy, you are my mother's son and everything to me. How can we, mother and son, say thank you? If my mother doesn't care about you, who else should you care about? Don't let your mother down, go ahead. Bar."
"Okay!" Zhu Yunwen stood up, saluted Mrs. Lu, and walked towards the school.
After Zhu Yunwen left, a servant from the East Palace Mansion slowly left.
After arriving at a deserted place, he put on a royal uniform and walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang's palace.
….….…..….….….
The schools of the Imperial College were filled with the sound of reading loudly.
Zhu Yunwen came pacing with his hands behind his back.
From a distance, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai came to greet him.
"My lord, see your highness!"
These two Hanlin bachelors showed their love for Zhu Yunwen. Unlike the other princes who had a straight face when they saw him, their faces were as bright as spring breeze at this moment.
"Yunwen, I have met two teachers!"
After the ceremony was completed, Zhu Yunwen supported the two saluting bachelors and said, "Two teachers have embarrassed me. There is only the student Zhu Yunwen here, not His Highness!"
Zhu Yunwen did not accept the courtesy of the two Hanlin bachelors.
This move made the two readers feel warmer in their hearts.
Zhu Yunwen is not a fool either.
He knew that whether he was a prince or grandson, if he wanted to achieve something, he must get the recognition and support of his ministers.
Especially now, the Ming Dynasty has an overwhelming military advantage over the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and pays special attention to the internal affairs and people's livelihood construction period.
So Zhu Yunwen was trying to win the hearts of these scholars at this time.
"Is Master Huang feeling better? I heard that the teacher was infected with cold a few days ago, and Yun Wen was very worried."
Huang Zicheng stroked his beard and said, "Your Highness is interested. I am feeling much better."
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said: "I heard that the country is short of money, but I can't help the emperor to share the worries. I am really worried. I came to see the two teachers today because I want to discuss with the teachers how to make money for the country."
Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai suddenly said solemnly: "Your Highness, you are a virtuous person!"
"It is a great blessing for this country that Your Highness can have such a benevolent heart for the whole world!"
Zhu Yunwen replied solemnly: "It is Yunwen's good fortune to have two teachers."
"Let's go!" Huang Zicheng said: "I will discuss how to serve the country soon."
These two bachelors also devoted themselves to Zhu Yunwen.
The three of them spent the whole morning thinking hard in the school. The so-called gathering wealth is nothing more than solving the problem at its root.
If you don’t have money, then print money!
Nowadays, not many Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes are printed, and they have a certain degree of circulation in the market. In this case, why not increase the printing volume of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes?
I don't know who came up with this idea, and there was a burst of praise in the school.
A smile gradually appeared on Zhu Yunwen's face. He saluted the two teachers and hurriedly walked towards the East Palace.
He wanted to go back and tell his mother the news and explain to her what to do next.
.
…….…..….….….
Fengtian Temple.
"Oh? Did Chen Hong bring the news to Madam Lu and Yunwen?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was reviewing the memorial, raised his eyebrows.
