The landlord's family has no surplus food either. ⊙

It is said that when you are poor, you think of change. Even if you are the prince, King Yu, who is the prince, also has thoughts in the face of difficulties.

Officials and Shang have been one family since ancient times. This was not the first in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty's salary was meager, coupled with economic development, capitalism was in the bud, and officials were even more active in business. Although everyone was hiding it, these were already open secrets.

King Yu is a little lazy, but this does not mean that he is stupid.

The Ming Dynasty was unprecedentedly harsh to corrupt officials. During Hongwu, officials were often skinned and filled with grass. Those officials were not stupid. They had power and resources. They used their power to protect their business, so they naturally became easier to succeed.

They are as clear as mirrors, and doing business is a bit ugly, but it is safer than embezzlement. It is not without limits to plundering the people. Besides, it can also damage the reputation of officials. If you do business in private, you will lose face at most and may be investigated by the Ministry of Personnel. However, once corruption is targeted by those who are interested, it may be doomed.

Jiajing sent Taiyan to collect mineral taxes to fill the internal treasury, and also interfered in real estate and population transactions. These can be regarded as transactions. With Jiajing as an example, it would be difficult for King Yu to not be moved.

No wonder I came here for this matter.

I also told myself about this kind of thing. It seems that I have not been beaten for half a month in vain, and King Yu has shown trust in him beyond his subordinates.

It is said that King Yu's mother was a humble mother and was not favored by Jiajing, so King Yu was not favored by Jiajing. Even King Yu developed a somewhat cringeful personality since he was a child. In order to get the rice he deserved, he had to bribe officials. However, as Jiajing grew older, King Yu's status increased day by day.

Especially King Jing, who was fighting for the throne, was forced to go to his fiefdom, so King Yu's status became more and more stable.

The status has improved, and Xu Jie, Gao Gong and others have fully supported it, so King Yu is becoming more and more courageous, and now he has his own ideas.

Yu Jin hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "If you don't steal or rob, you can make money with your own efforts and wisdom. How can you not be suitable?"

"I am the prince, will this be reported?" King Yu was still hesitant.

"What's that?" Yu Jin said sternly: "Your Highness is a prince. He has not increased the burden on the country, nor has he destroyed the people, nor has he done anything that harms the country. He is afraid of others' gossip."

After saying that, Yu Jin whispered: "King Yu doesn't have to come forward in person. Just keep the news of Guan Jian's earnings for a little while. You can also use a small portion of the money you earn to do some good deeds. This is something that someone criticizes and there is an excuse."

When King Yu heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded and said, "It's still Yu's quick-witted talent in proofreading. However, what business can he do now? I don't have the right talents under me."

"Your Highness, if you trust me, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely do it properly." Yu Jin said with a serious expression.

Recently, he spent money like flowing water and had no investment. He had so many mouths to eat, and he had to live in vain with his salary alone. Yu Jin had long wanted to find something to help him make up for it. The new mirror was good, but he didn't have enough strength and would only be guilty of being a silly person. King Yu showed his intention to enter the business.

It's a god-given opportunity.

What partners are there that are more reliable and powerful to have the next king?

Take the opportunity to hold this big tree and walk sideways in the Ming Dynasty in the future.

"Okay, I will feel relieved if you have Yu's proofreading books." King Yu said happily: "Then the king will wait for the good news of Yu's proofreading books."

One has the right to make money but no means to make money, and the other has the means to make money but no one can protect him. It can be said that it hits the nail on the head.

"Dare not obeying."

"Haha, come on, Yu Jieshu, let's continue playing chess."

"Your Highness, it's your turn."

The two continued to play chess, discussing some commercial issues while playing chess. With experience in previous lives, Yu Jin talked about this matter one by one, which made King Yu stunned.

Of course, seeing Yu Jin so familiar, King Yu naturally trusted Yu Jin more, and showed great interest in the prospects portrayed by Yu Jin.

Yu Jin clearly had a very good project, but he didn't say it out on the spot.

This is what Yu Jin learned from Zhang Juzheng. Doing things is like boiling medicine, which emphasizes the heat. As long as the heat reaches the temperature, the best effect can be achieved. If you are too anxious, you will be unable to eat hot tofu.

You can't make yourself seem too urgent, so that you can take the initiative.

For lunch that day, Yu Jin stayed at Prince Yu's mansion to accompany Prince Yu to have lunch.

I have to say that King Yu is relatively easy-going and does not have so many airs.

Yu Jin was not anxious on the surface, but as soon as he returned to his house, he immediately wrote a secret letter, asking Qing'er to bring it to the commander Zhu Xizhong, and reported to King Yu's intention to do business with him to conquer him.

He is also an organized person to serve as the General Banner. Yu Jin must show respect for the organization at the appropriate time.

......

In the Western Garden, Jiajing sat quietly on the cushion, and saw him looking at his nose and his nose, and his whole body sat quietly, as if he was experiencing the heaven and earth.

Although Jiajing was a little lazy, he liked to think and use his brain. Every day, he would take time to sit quietly for a while, summarizing the gains and losses of the day, including pondering the thoughts of his ministers.

When it comes to the emperor's mind, Jiajing can be said to be among the top three among the Ming emperors. Yang Tinghe, Xia Yan, Yan Song and others are all extremely smart, but they still let Jiajing play around.

"Hu" I don't know how long it took, Jiajing let out a long breath of turbid air, and then he opened his eyes slightly.

"Prince, please have tea." Zhu Xizhong, Duke Cheng who was waiting on the side, quickly presented a cup of tea.

Looking at Zhu Xizhong who was wearing a Taoist robe and looked respectful, Jiajing said with some emotion: "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

In the past, Yan Song stood in Zhu Xizhong's position. He served Jiajing for decades, always engraving the holy intention. In many things, Jiajing released a little bit of meaning, and Yan Song would work hard to do a good job for Jiajing.

He would move any minister to the court, and he would ask for money and move the treasury money to the inner palace without saying a word; he would ask for herbal medicines for alchemy, and immediately sent a large number of civilians to the mountain to find Jiajing.

But as soon as Xu Jie came on stage, everything changed.

Want to build a palace? No money.

Want to refine elixirs? No time.

Want to make a lot of alchemy? Don’t have this leisure.

In short, Xu Jie was not as obedient as before he took office, but Jiajing could not destroy his job, because Jiajing had to rely on him to control the overall situation and maintain the stability and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

When Yan Song was in power, corruption among officials became popular, and military discipline collapsed, which made foreign tribes take the opportunity to rise, capturing Japanese in the north and making the Ming Empire feel like it was in turmoil, especially the military. Yan Song, as the chief minister of the cabinet, colluded with the generals of the army, was greedy for military pay, was idle in training, and was very angry with the soldiers.

Even if Jiajing doesn't like Xu Jie, he can't be fired.

Xu Jie has to clean up the mess.

"I dare not serve the emperor, this is the duty of the empress," Zhu Xizhong said respectfully.

After drinking the cup of tea, Jiajing asked lightly: "My dear, what important thing is there to report this time?"

"this....."

"It's King Yu's business, let's talk about it, what's going on?"

Seeing Zhu Xizhong hesitating, Jiajing immediately guessed that this matter was related to King Yu. This was Yu Jia's rebellious scale. No one dared to mention King Yu in Jiajing easily. Jiajing just glanced at it and guessed Zhu Xizhong's thoughts.

"If you go back to the emperor, Weichen just received a tip. King Yu was worried about the expenses in the mansion and wanted to buy some industries."

"Is Prince Yu?" Jiajing narrowed his eyes and said, "Is he enlightened?"

Zhu Xizhong whispered: "What does the emperor mean?"

"Zhu Aiqing" Jiajing did not answer the meaning of Zhu Aiqing, but instead pursued the question: "How is King Jing doing recently."

"Reply to the Emperor's words," Zhu Xizhong said seriously: "King Jing has frequently sent people to make friends with ministers in the court recently, and the activities are a little frequent."

Jiajing nodded and said, "Yes, keep staring at the two of them. If there is any situation, I will repay me in time."

"Yes, the emperor."

"King Jing has always been bold and has many industries under his name. He has also gone out to sea secretly. Regarding financial resources, King Yu is worse than to be good. It's just a little bit harder, so let them go." Jiajing said indifferently.

Zhu Xizhong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he took the order loudly.

"Okay, go."

The emperor is really old, this is Zhu Xizhong’s first thought after he left.

On weekdays, Jiajing didn't care about taxes. He was immersed in the great cause of practicing alchemy and always watched coldly. He once thought that he could live forever, but his health was getting worse day by day in the past two years. No matter how profound his cultivation is, he cannot resist the destruction of time.

It's time to give the heirs a final training.

There is only one dragon throne, and only one can ascend the throne. It is said that kindness does not control the army, righteousness does not control the wealth. Before King Yu ascends the throne, he will find a "wistling stone" for the next person so that he can feel and grow in the struggle.
