Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded solemnly, "The dignified prince is not stable at all, how can he be decent?!"

Zhu Wei was immediately discouraged, "I was wrong, father."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and motioned to the eunuch beside him, "Send the best imperial doctor to Guo Heng, by the way, and take care of everything like money and food. Really, what's the point of fighting?!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the expressions of the officials eased.

It has to be said that Lao Zhu is really an old fritter, and he has firmly grasped the hearts of the officials.

Although the officials don't pee in the same pot with Guo Heng, but Guo Heng is an official and Liu Xiu is a citizen. It would be too much to let them fight. If Zhu Yuanzhang favors Liu Xiu again, it will inevitably make all the officials feel cold.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's care not only calmed the emotions of the officials, but also took the matter away.

In short, Guo Heng was beaten for nothing!

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes burst into light, and he looked at Liu Xiu, "The problem you have really stumped us, come on, tell me, how can Daming's finances be saved?"

"Money, what should I do?"

Chapter 43

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Xiu, his expression was no different from that of the old grandfather sitting in the sun in the backyard.

But when Liu Xiu was caught by this gaze, she immediately shuddered subconsciously, and the meaning in Lao Zhu's eyes instantly understood seven or eight points.

We asked you to clean up Guo Heng to vent your anger, and when we need you, you can stop pretending to be stupid.

Liu Xiu wasn't going to show off at first. If he wanted Lao Zhu to favor him more in the empty seal case, he had to show his worth.

Therefore, the two foxes, the old and the young, reached a tacit understanding in one look.

However, when Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question, Li Shanchang, Liu Sanwu, Tang He and others looked very ugly.

Zhu, what do you mean?

There are so many ministers in the court who can't think of a way, how can a young boy have a way?

Although it is indeed the question he raised, it seems more like a coincidence. Besides, it may not be able to solve it if it can be raised!

Ask a kid what to do with our bunch? !

Li Shanchang said coldly: "Then I have to listen carefully."

Xu Da was silent and looked at Liu Xiu with interest.

For a moment, countless eyes gathered on Liu Xiu following Zhu Yuanzhang's question, with expectations, doubts, but more doubts.

Prince Zhu Biao's heart tightened, why did Lao Zhu push Liu Xiu to the opposite of all officials? !

Zhu Di even looked at Lao Zhu with lingering fear. Lao Zhu's scheming was really unfathomable, and he completely grasped the situation with a casual sentence. Whether it was Li Shanchang, Guo Heng, or Liu Xiu, they were just pawns in the game.

Liu Xiu coughed twice. The way to be an official is to hide your clumsiness. Don't be too conspicuous in the court. After all, people are separated from each other. You don't know who is supporting you and who is harming you.

But Liu Xiu can't control so much now, they are all people who are going to die, so naturally they come here as conspicuously, as they pretend to be,

"Your Majesty, the problem of the royal family's financial collapse can be resolved, but it will take time."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he originally wanted to try Liu Xiu, but he didn't expect this kid to have a way.

Li Shanchang shook his head with a smile, and said, "It takes time? Three to five years is time, ten to eight years is also time. If it takes decades, we are all dead. Who knows if you can solve it?"

All the officials laughed when they heard the words,

Tang He echoed, "Yes, it's just talking with Xi Ni."

Fu Youde also laughed mockingly.

Liu Sanwu said: "We can't break this deadlock. If you have a way, what do you want us to do?"

Fang Xiaoru frowned and remained silent.

Lao Zhu watched with a smile on the dragon chair that the officials were targeting Liu Xiu, and did not stop him. In other words, this was what Lao Zhu wanted.

This kid Liu Xiu is too sharp, he must be suppressed.

The second child, Zhu Chen, whispered to the third child, Zhu Chen, "Third brother, you said that this group of court officials want money and status, so what's the difference with a brat?"

The third child, Zhu Yan, rolled his eyes and thought to himself,

You have more status than these court officials, so that doesn't affect your crazy targeting of Liu Xiu.

However, the third child savored it carefully and found that Liu Xiu had such characteristics that people couldn't help but want to overpower him, but if he could be overpowered, he would feel very happy.

Why is this?

The fourth brother Zhu Di seemed to see through the third child's mind, and whispered, "Because Liu Xiu is a different kind."

"Alien?"

The fourth Zhu Di nodded, looked at Liu Xiu, and sighed, "Liu Xiu is a citizen. Logically speaking, the grassroots should be cowardly and ignorant, but Liu Xiu is completely different. He scares everyone."

The second child and the third child looked at each other, and opened their mouths to say something, but the fourth child, Zhu Di, said nothing.

On the other end, Liu Xiu was smiling and did not interrupt the officials at all. When the officials said they were tired, Liu Xiu patiently said, "Is it finished?"

Li Shanchang snorted coldly.

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "It seems that my lord has finished talking."

Then, Liu Xiu glanced at the officials, opened his palms and said in a loud voice, "I will give you a little time, within five years, to solve the financial problems of the royal family."

Whoa! ! !

"impossible!"

"Bullshit!!"

"Above the court, how can you allow you to speak nonsense?!"

"Go down, I don't want to hear any more."

"Hehe, ridiculous..."

Liu Xiu's voice overwhelmed doubts, her eyes burst out, and she shot straight at Lao Zhu,

Hehe, Lao Zhu, don't you want to try me?

I'm afraid you can't control my chess!

"Solving the royal family's financial problems is nothing more than four words."

Zhu Yuanzhang unconsciously leaned forward and asked curiously, "Which four words?"

"Open source, cut expenditure."

Li Shanchang's eyes widened suddenly, and suddenly a bad premonition rose in his heart,

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his buttocks from the dragon chair, hot air spewed from his nose, and urged, "Keep talking!"

"Open source, as the name suggests. It is to find more ways to make money. Otherwise, in such a country, it is useless if you just think about saving money. There will always be places to spend money."

Snapped!

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh suddenly, these words really touched Lao Zhu's heart!

Lao Zhu excitedly said, "Well said! When I asked the Ministry of Accounts to allocate funds, the Ministry of Accounts always asked me to allocate less and save money, but the gods have floods one moment and famines the next. How can I save this money? Ah?! The key is to have a few more ways to make money!"

Fu Youde looked at Liu Xiu, and asked with a sneer, "Anyone can say something, everyone knows that money should be made, do you have a way?"

Liu Xiu raised her hand and signaled Fu Youde to shut up, Fu Youde's face flushed immediately, "I'll talk about this question later."

Liu Xiu paused, sorted out his thoughts, and continued, "Throttling. It should also complement the increase in income. The province must be economical. Suppose the local floods require 20 shi of grain. Wan Shi. But the local government can’t use so much food, so what to do with the leftover food? Return it to the central government? It’s a joke, it all ended up in the pockets of corrupt officials.”

Fu Ren, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, couldn't stop nodding when he heard the words, Liu Xiu really said it very well!But when Fu Ren saw Fu Youde looking at him, he quickly swallowed back the applause.

However, Fu Ren felt transparent all over his body.

Liu Xiu can be said to have explained the difficulties of the Ministry of Households in one word!

When Lao Zhu was the emperor, he didn't want to know how much money the household department had left. He only wanted to let the people remember the favor of the court. Sometimes problems that could be solved with 20 silver had to be allocated [-] silver.

If the household department disagreed, they would be scolded by Lao Zhu again, but the extra money did not help the local people, but it all went into the belly of the local fat rats.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat back on the dragon chair in embarrassment. Usually, no one would dare to talk to Lao Zhu like this. Just pointing at Lao Zhu's nose and saying that you did something wrong, that would be enough.

But Liu Xiu just dared to say it, and what he said was reasonable, and Lao Zhu couldn't speak up if he wanted to refute.

Old Zhu couldn't help thinking to himself,

Do we really have such a big problem with money?

Chapter 44

Old Zhu was confused.

I spend very little money on weekdays, and never waste food. I have worn yellow robes for more than ten years. Even the Forbidden City was repaired on the basis of Yuan Dynasty palaces.

It's just that some extra funds have been allocated to disaster-affected places. Is there anything wrong?

Liu Xiu didn't have time to think about Lao Zhu's feelings, so he continued sonorously,

"Take as much as you can!"

"Use it like sand!"

"How can the national treasury not be empty? How can the finance not be abandoned?!"

The hall was silent.

Liu Xiu's words echoed continuously in the empty court hall.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

A lonely applause sounded.

Not Lao Zhu, not Zhu Biao, and not Zhu Di.

But... Fang Xiaoru.

Fang Xiaoru's face was flushed, and he said excitedly, "Okay! Well said! Take all the silver baht, use it like sand, and tell the truth about Ming's finances!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat paralyzed on the dragon chair as if struck by lightning, muttering in his mouth, "Take it...all the baht, use it...like sand."

Isn't it the same as what Liu Xiu said?
