Daming: the Bear Child of the Yongle Family

"This coal mine is worthless!"

"Fifty thousand taels of silver to buy a useless mountain top in Beishan?"

"You are wrong!"

"Otherwise, you can give the rest of the money to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother can go back and do business with your sister-in-law."

Zhu Gaoyu rubbed his little chin and thought for a moment, then pulled the crown prince and walked out while speaking in a tender little voice,

"Brother, you don't know anything!"

"This Beishan coal mine is owned by a wealthy businessman named Wang in Yingtianfu."

"This person has been in Ying Tianfu shopping malls for many years, and his strength can be called the richest man in Ying Tianfu."

"There are piles of gold and silver mountains in the family. It can be said to be rich enough to rival the country."

Zhu Gaoyu said, and pushed the stunned prince out of the gate of Prince Liang's mansion. He glanced at the carriage standing at the door and smiled, and then said:

"But brother, you also know that in general, the richer you are, the more stingy you are!"

"As for their money, it's all squeezed out of their teeth!"

"Isn't that what it is!"

"As soon as he heard that I was going to buy a coal mine from him, he immediately got excited and played with me to start the price."

"No more, no less, asking for [-]!"

"Look, my brother, I even paid [-]!"

After Zhu Gaoyu finished speaking, he shook his head with a heartache.

The prince was being pushed incessantly, so he could only stabilize his body and glance at Zhu Gaoyu,

"Fourth brother, it's not that the eldest brother is not optimistic about you."

"You... it's a losing business!"

"Yes, yes, brother, you are right!"

After Zhu Gaoyu responded, he pushed the prince into the carriage, and in the eyes of the prince, he ordered the eunuch who was driving to run quickly, and then he ran back to Prince Liang's mansion.

The old lady listened to the conversation between the two princes, especially when she heard that her master spent so much money on a broken coal mine, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

How dare you sell [-] taels of money even for the broken land in Beishan that no one wants?

Where did the wealthy businessman come from eating the gall of a bear and a leopard, and how dare he deceive his master?

Bold!

Ouch, it's [-] taels, and my heart is bleeding.

So, when the prince left, Lao Liu hurriedly came up and asked anxiously.

"My lord, where is the rich businessman who suffered a thousand knives? He really dares to charge you [-] taels of silver and sell it to break the mountain?"

Break the mountain?

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoyu could not help wrinkling his little nose, shook his head, and said mysteriously.

"Old Liu, I bet you just wait and see, my coal is definitely different from others, you just wait to make money!"

Although he heard the prince's sworn assurance, the old eunuch was obviously still a little worried.

"My lord, isn't the old slave asking a question, is the mine really worth [-] taels?"

Zhu Gaoyu smiled and stretched out his slightly chubby little hand, which was compared to Qi's gesture.

"Hey, it's actually seven thousand taels, it's a big profit!"

After he finished speaking, he ignored the old eunuch, turned his head and walked away happily.

The old eunuch summed up for a while and nodded secretly.

Well, [-] taels is not bad, the prince can pay a little less.

steady steady...

……

After the prince asked for money this time and returned, he was still very unwilling, and then sent his son Zhu Zhanji to the Liang Wangfu to ask for money.

Who knows that this son is not as good as Laozi.

Before Zhu Zhanji entered the gate of Prince Liang's mansion, he was kicked out by the housekeeper's old eunuch.

There is no need to ask, just ask a sentence.

Wang Ye went to the Beishan Coal Mine to supervise the work. He said that he wanted to make anthracite coal. Anyway, I didn’t understand it, so I couldn’t come back for a while.

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he rolled his eyes directly in front of the old eunuch.

anthracite?

Never heard of it.

Is it possible that you really want to dig out the matchmaker and sell it to fools?

Oh tui!

It's not that we don't want to pay back the money!

In desperation, Zhu Zhanji was able to return to the Prince's Mansion empty-handed and disheartened...

In this way, half a month has passed, and Zhu Gaoyu has disappeared for half a month...

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

half a month later.

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair and frowned at the book in his hand.

Standing next to him was Yang Shiqi.

Yang Shiqi glanced at Zhu Di, then frowned and sighed and shook his head,

"This northern drought is followed by a blizzard that is rarely seen in a century."

"The common people, who have no food and clothing, can't stand it in this extremely cold extreme weather."

"Beggars frozen to death can be seen everywhere on the streets of the north."

"Not only that, but more and more people are frozen to death at home."

"A large number of northerners dragged their families to the south to escape for their lives, but the wind and snow kept coming, and many people couldn't resist, and they froze to death on the road."

Zhu Di's face sank when he heard the words, he frowned and asked:

"What about the imperial disaster relief fund?"

"Can't send it to the people?"

"Didn't the Crown Prince arrange for people to deliver charcoal from house to house?"

Yang Shiqi sighed and shook his head,

"The supplies issued by the imperial court are not enough for these people to last a few days."

"And the price of this charcoal is expensive. As the price rises a day, it has changed from five cents a pound to twelve or three cents a catty, almost tripled. This is subsidized all day long, and the national treasury can't afford it."

After listening to the reply, Zhu Di frowned deeply and said nothing.

After a long while, Zhu Di sighed softly: "Then the people can't be allowed to resist this cold winter, but the preparations for the Northern Expedition can't be stopped. Let's give you a few days, and your cabinet will discuss and come up with a charter."

Since the sage had spoken, Yang Shiqi didn't dare to refuse, so he nodded his head.

"Follow the decree."

After leaving the Qianqing Palace hall, watching the gloomy sky slowly falling snow like goose feathers, Yang Shiqi's whole person is not very good.

"Alas, the profiteers have mistaken the country and want to knock down the price of charcoal in this cold winter? It's easier said than done...".

Chapter 110

Ying Tianfu.

The snow fluttered on the street, and Zhang Sheng wandered the streets in despair with the heater in his hands.

You shouldn't go to Liang Wang to cooperate!

Well now, not only did I not get the money, but I also took [-]~[-] to get in!

It really is a loss for the lady and the army!

This kid is really out of his mind!

Take my money - what coal mine to buy!

And what kind of anthracite to make all that mess? !

Even if this coal was made into flowers by him, it would still be poisonous!

Big loss!Big loss!

Zhang Sheng took three steps and sighed, and his lost face had already lost the look of the past.

At this moment, there was a sound of firecrackers not far from him, which immediately attracted Zhang Sheng's attention.

Zhang Sheng was a little puzzled. In this cold weather, every household is closed. How come there are still new stores opening? !

There are not many people on the street that day, and this store is not afraid of losing money!

Zhang Sheng has been pitted so badly recently, and his heart has been uncomfortable.

It is always said that the best way to comfort a frustrated person is to be miserable with him.

Zhang Sheng took it for granted, and now he heard the sound of firecrackers and instantly came to an idea.

He stepped forward quickly, intending to watch a lively event.

Excuse!
