Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 217 Zhu Gaoxu: Empty Zhu Di’s small treasury for me!

Latest website:

Internal money, Zhu Di's small treasury.

Carloads of gold and silver were being pulled out, which made the chief internal officer and the little one almost cry.

Seeing that the emperor's small treasury was almost wiped out by the disaster, Prince Han was still not satisfied and was preparing to go to the next inner treasury. Little Nose suddenly became anxious.

Prince Han, I have something I don't know whether to say or not...

Zhu Gaoxu was instructing everyone to search Zhu Laosi's small treasury. He had no time to pay attention to this dead eunuch and casually replied: Then shut up! Stop talking!

Little Sniffle: ???

What?

Your uncle!

Are you so arrogant?

After all, we are also the general manager of the household, so you can’t give me some thin noodles...

Your Highness, King of Han, it's almost over. Are you really planning to empty your money? When the emperor comes back, my servants won't be able to do anything!

Little Sniffle was so anxious that he almost cried, so he could only bite the bullet and give a reminder.

He has lived for more than half his life, what kind of evil person has he not seen before?

But this was the first time he had seen this ruthless person who dared to steal the emperor's treasury!

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him coldly and said calmly: Why were they emptied? Aren't those antique calligraphy and paintings still reserved for the old man?

Gold, silver, and copper coins are all currency. They have value only when they circulate. Otherwise, they are just a pile of waste. Forget it, you don't understand even if I tell you, a damn eunuch. Don't block the way and get out of the way. Stay where you can to cool down!

Little Sniffle: !!!

Your uncle!

You are the dead eunuch!

Your whole family is... It’s not fun to say this!

At this moment, Big Fatty rushed over with his little chubby legs, followed by Xia Yuanji, Yang Rong and others.

Second brother? Second child! Do you really dare to touch the emperor's small treasury?

Come on, a few people, go to the next inner treasury and move all the gold, silver and copper coins away!

Second brother! I'm here to ask you a question!

Big Fatty shouted angrily, and Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at him.

Hey? Boss, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've lost weight again!

Upon hearing this, the prince's face lit up with joy.

The slander he likes to hear most now is when someone praises him for losing weight.

Hey, I feel like my body has become lighter and lighter recently. My beloved concubine praises me...

Ahem, boss, okay, okay.

The big fat man smiled sarcastically, and then asked seriously: Second brother, I heard from Xia Shangshu that our Daming Bank has only opened three locations now, and there is no need for such a large reserve fund.

The last salt tax collected nearly 20 million taels of silver. This is enough for anything. In this case, why do you need to touch the old man's small treasury?

You must know that this fund is the emperor's small treasury, responsible for the daily expenses of such a large palace, and the daily purchasing expenses are an astronomical figure.

If you really empty out someone else's coffers, you'll be done with it if the old man comes back and beats you up!

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Yuanji, Boss, didn't you explain the importance of currency circulation to the boss?

Xia Yuanji had a bitter look on his face, spread his hands and said, Prince Han, I have explained it to you, but the Crown Prince didn't listen!

After the last secret meeting in the Han Dynasty, Xia Yuanji had deeply realized the significance and importance of currency circulation, so he fully supported the deposit of gold, silver and copper coins from the treasury in the Daming Bank.

After all, the important functions of the Ming Dynasty Bank had already been clearly explained by Prince Han.

In a sense, as long as the Daming Bank project is carried out smoothly, there will be no empty treasury in Daming!

Therefore, Xia Yuanji has placed the Daming Bank project on the same level as the Xinyan project.

Zhu Gaochi flashed his alert eyes, pulled his second son aside, and explained in a low voice: I understand the truth, but you have to think about it, old man, right?

The internal funds mainly come from the income from tribute and banknotes from the vassal countries. The amount is quite considerable. There are always about one or two million taels of silver every year. However, due to the very tight fiscal budget of the previous imperial court, there is basically no balance, and it is even burned without a deficit. Very fragrant.

The old man has been planning carefully for so many years and managed to save such a small fortune. You have brought all the trouble to him. If you let the old man come back and see it, what if he is so angry...

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Is there such a good thing? Nie Xing, tell the brothers to move quickly. I will move them all away and send them to Daming Bank!

Big Fatty: “???”

What?

What does it mean?

Is that what I mean?

Why are you still a little excited?

Second brother, that's enough. It's almost done. Don't empty it out. By then, the old man won't even be able to eat meat...

What are you afraid of? There are still so many antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and silks and satins. I will really run out of money by then. Let the old man sell these things for money!

Everyone: ???

Your mother!

You are really a filial son!

You are lofty and noble, you are great, and you steal your own father's little treasury!

I am also planning to let your father, a great man of tomorrow, sell off his property to support his family!

This Prince of Han... is truly a prodigal!

Big Fatty got anxious and led everyone after him, but he could only watch helplessly as the Prince of Han emptied the twelve treasuries of the inner palace, leaving only the expensive antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures and silks and satins. .

If he didn't find these troubles, Big Fatty would doubt this bastard and wouldn't even leave a hair for his own father!

Looking at the empty warehouse, Little Nose collapsed on the ground and cried: What a crime! What a crime! It doesn't hurt that you betrayed me!

Big Fatty was also speechless for a while, and walked away shivering with his hands behind his back, obviously very angry.

Yang Rong and other giants looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Xia Yuanji looked thoughtfully at Prince Han's excited back and sighed immediately.

Everyone, prepare to save as much money as you have. Don't take chances.

As soon as these words came out, Yang Rong and others' expressions changed.

Xia Yuanji looked at them coldly, You all know the importance of Daming Bank, so I won't say more.

This is a major national policy that benefits the country and the people, and is enough to affect the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years. We and other officials should have fully cooperated. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

And I want to remind you, don't take chances and try to get through with a token amount of money. I'm afraid that the Prince of Han will no longer give you and me, important officials in the court, face.

For the sake of the Ming Dynasty Bank, he even dared to plunder the emperor's small treasury, let alone investigate and prosecute several important officials in the court?

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yuanji turned around and left, leaving everyone looking at each other in shock.

Lao Xia Tou's words seemed to be out of good intentions, but they actually contained a threat.

He, Xia Yuanji, had been honest and self-responsible for many years as an official, but other important officials were not like that.

For example, Yang Rong and Yang Mianren had both literary and military skills, but his lack of attention to detail was destined to make it difficult for him to achieve great success.

Yang Rong won the favor of the emperor with his agility and quick wit. Not only was he personally named by the emperor, but he also became an assistant minister in the cabinet. Among the seven bachelors of Wenyuan Pavilion, Yang Rong was the youngest, but he was able to win Zhu Di's love.

In this way, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yang Rong holds great power and leads civil servants.

However, once this person has a high status and great power, he will have more thoughts.

Yang Rong was a bachelor in the cabinet and a close minister of the emperor, and was deeply favored by the emperor. Naturally, there were many people who favored him and gave him gifts and money. Yang Rong accepted all these filial piety.

Xia Yuanji couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

When he was studying in Fujian, Yang Rong explained the Qi-nourishing chapter in Mencius to the students. He admired his talent quite a lot. After he became an official in the imperial examination, he recommended and promoted him many times.

I just didn't expect that this talented young man who was full of knowledge would turn into the profit-seeking villain he is now!

What he just said was meant for Yang Rong, and also for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

The general trend is that if you cannot keep up with King Han, you will only be eliminated!
