Zhu Yunxi was enjoying listening to Lan Yu's bragging, when he suddenly heard the bad old man calling him, and felt unhappy in his heart.

Lan Yu quickly pushed her nephew and signaled him to go and coax Lao Zhutou.

"good!"

"Go sit with your grandpa. When you have time later, grandpa will tell you about Yuerhai!"

"oh!"

Zhu Yunhe reluctantly sat next to Lao Zhu. Lao Zhu didn't say anything, but just tapped the plate with shrimps with his chopsticks.

Lan Yu almost laughed when she saw this scene. Did this old Zhutou upset the jealousy jar? My nephew just picked a shrimp for us. Is he so sour?

Zhu Yunxi looked at Lao Zhu in confusion and thought, what does this mean? Do you want me to pick up shrimps for him?

Hum hum!

If you always scare me with a whip, I won't pick up shrimps for you!

While chatting with Lan Yu, Lao Zhu secretly glanced at Ni Sun. Seeing that he was only picking up shrimps for him and not paying any attention to the bad old man himself, he felt unhappy.

"We just thought about it, Zhu Yunxi is still young, and we're afraid that he won't be able to control it, so we should incorporate your thousands of adopted sons into the Yulin Guard..."

"Grandpa Huang, please eat shrimp!"

"we……"

Zhu Yunxi didn't give Lao Zhu a chance to refuse, and stuffed the shrimp directly into his mouth.

"Let's get down to business!"

"Then Grandpa Huang, let's talk slowly, and my grandson will be picking up shrimps for you right next to you!"

"Lanyu, where did we just talk about?"

"You just said that you should try to finish the battle before winter, and don't delay it until the twelfth month of winter, which will only increase the damage to the soldiers!"

"oh oh……"

Lao Zhu pretended to be suddenly enlightened and continued to discuss the details of the Northern Expedition with Lan Yu following Da Sun's prompts, never mentioning the reform of the Yulin Guards.

Although Lao Zhu didn't mention it anymore, Zhu Yunxi still didn't dare to take it lightly. He scooped up a plate of shrimps and put them all into Lao Zhu's bowl. He was afraid that the petty emperor would scare him if he said anything about Yu Linwei.

.

Lao Zhu and Lan Yu finalized the strategy for the Northern Expedition and ended the dinner. Not only did he personally send Lan Yu outside the palace, but he also specifically ordered Zhu Yunxi to send Lan Yu out of the palace.

"Yunxi, you can send your uncle and grandpa off for us, and then you can go back to the palace to do your homework."

"okay!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard what was going on, he agreed happily, and hurriedly rushed forward, pestering Lan Yu to tell him about the boast he had just finished.

Lao Zhu couldn't help but have a helpless smile on his face as he watched his eldest grandson keep asking about Yuerhai.

The reason why he favored Prince Zhu Biao was that he hoped that he, the Emperor Wu, would rule the country, and then leave it to Zhu Biao, the Emperor Wen, to rule the country.

However, seeing how interested Nisun is in military affairs, maybe the successor of Ming Dynasty will be Emperor Wu again!

no!

You need to find some great scholars to teach you. Even if you can't teach this kid to be a humble gentleman like his father, you can't let him think about fighting all day long.

Just who to look for?

Lao Zhu couldn't help but feel troubled when he thought of this, and even felt a hint of regret.

Because after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a few useful scholars.

"well!"

"If I had known today, we wouldn't have been so ruthless in recent years..."

On the other side, Lan Yu and Zhu Yunxi walked to the gate of the palace. When Lan Yu was getting on the carriage, she suddenly took his hand and handed him a waist badge.

"Nephew, take this sign. If you are short of money in the future, you can go to my uncle and grandpa's house to get it."

"My uncle has already told the people in the house that you can withdraw as much as you have in your account!"

Zhu Yunxi was deeply moved when he heard this, but he was no longer short of money and there was no need to take the Lanyu brand anymore.

"Uncle, I have money now. I just earned ten thousand taels of silver some time ago, which is enough for me to spend for a long time!"

Lan Yu's round eyes widened and she said displeasedly.

"That little money is enough for what, but it's not enough to build a doghouse!"

"We'll give you the badge and you just keep it. There's so much nonsense!"

"But there's one thing I have to tell you, we don't let you spend this money carelessly!"

"My great-uncle estimates that your imperial grandfather will be short of money in the future. If he is really short of money, you can take the lead in donating money to the court to show your loyalty to the country!"

"If others donate 10,000, you donate 20,000. If others donate 50,000, you donate 100,000!"

"If my great-uncle's family doesn't have enough money, you can take our cards and borrow them from other general Xungui's home, and my great-uncle will pay them back for you when the time comes!"

In fact, this is just Lan Yu's wishful thinking. Zhu Yuanzhang is such an arrogant person that he will not let others donate money even if he is short of money.

Seeing what Lan Yu said, Zhu Yunxi no longer refused, and he also gave full play to his subjective initiative and thought, if he gave the money earned from the bookstore to the court as military expenses, would he be able to move the old man to tears?

However, this idea was killed by him as soon as it arose.

His own palace has not yet been built, and the palace on the fiefdom has not yet been seen. With so many places to spend money waiting for, where will the spare money come from to give to the court?

Early the next morning, as soon as Zhu Yunxi arrived at the main hall, he saw Zhu Gui running over with a smile on his face.

"Nephew, you are rich again!"

"What makes you rich?"

"We haven't started selling the second volume yet, where will the money come from..."

Zhu Gui interrupted Zhu Yunxi and explained with a smile.

"It's not about selling books, it's about your jade cabbage!"

"Yesterday, my guard went to the pawnshop to redeem the pawn. The owner of the pawnshop said that the pawnshop was robbed the day before yesterday and the jade cabbage was stolen. As usual, he will pay us five times the amount of money!"

"The jade cabbage was pawned for 7,000 taels of silver at that time. Now they pay us five times the price, which is 35,000 taels!"

"I asked someone to estimate it. Even if I sell it, it will only cost more than 30,000 taels of silver, and we may not be able to find a suitable buyer. The pawnshop will compensate us 35,000 taels, which doesn't look like a loss at all!"

"I have brought back the silver, and other gold and silver jewelry, as well as your broken pillow!"

"oh……"

When Zhu Yunxi heard that he suddenly made thirty-five thousand taels of silver, his heart did not waver at all.

After all, he stays in the palace every day and really has no place to spend money.

There is no difference between ten thousand taels of silver and one hundred thousand taels of silver in his eyes, they are just a series of numbers.

"Since we are not short of money now, Uncle Thirteen, please use some money to repair your palace first. At least it should be better than a doghouse!"

When Zhu Gui heard this, he hugged his eldest nephew and said thank you repeatedly.

"Eldest nephew, Uncle Thirteen's love for you has not been in vain. I didn't expect you to still remember Uncle Thirteen's palace, wuwuwu..."

“Hi hi hi hi!”

"Let go. If you don't let go, I won't give you the money to repair the palace!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gui quickly let go of his eldest nephew, carefully straightened his wrinkled clothes and straightened his collar.

"Although we have money now, we can't spend it recklessly!"

"You first take five thousand taels of silver to buy all the furniture in the palace, and then clear out a few wing rooms."

"Find someone to put rocks in the pond and raise some fish in it."

"We don't want to compete with my second uncle, as long as we are passable in general!"

"Yes, yes, yes, everything is subject to the eldest nephew's instructions. We will do whatever the eldest nephew says!"

"After the palace is repaired, you have to write a letter to your father asking me to move out and live with you!"

"this……"

When Zhu Gui heard this condition, he immediately did not dare to agree.

"Eldest nephew, I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to handle!"

"Isn't it easy?"

"Then I won't help you build the palace. I will keep the money to buy land and build a house myself!"

When Zhu Gui saw that his eldest nephew wanted to take the money back, he immediately changed his mind and agreed.

"manage!"

"It must be done!"

"I'm going to ask my concubine to find a way for you!"
