Capital.

Imperial City.

Zhu Yunxuan completed his inspection of the Magic City and returned to the palace.

Although I didn’t stop too much along the way, I also saw a lot of landscapes.

Xu Miaojin and Zhu Yunxuan traveled to many places together.

It also made Zhu Yunxuan's mood feel much lighter, as if he had really returned to the carefree feeling he had when he was a child.

I wanted to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and drink it with me, but in the end it was not like I was a young man traveling.

It is really rare to experience it again, a feeling that you can never get back in your previous life.

But the urgency of reality did not allow Zhu Yunzhen to waste any more time.

He must return to the capital to take charge of the overall situation.

Even though King Qi was already in the middle of the situation at the moment, Zhu Yunzhen could not let down his guard to prevent King Qi from really making this matter a big deal.

Ruined his original plan.

In any case, the construction of national highways is a national policy for the development of the Ming Dynasty!

It must not be destroyed by King Qi!

"Jiang Wei, where is the King of Qi? Is there anything going on these days?"

In the imperial study, Zhu Yunxian was dealing with the memorial and asked Jiang Ying, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.

"His Royal Highness Taisun, there has been little movement from King Qi recently."

"But King Zhu Zhen of Chu... seems to have colluded with King Qi and made a secret agreement to hollow out the treasury together."

"Furthermore, I secretly discovered that a huge amount of silver was in the name of King Qi and was transferred to the name of King Zhu Bai of Xiang."

"The King of Xiang used the money to build a magnificent Taoist temple."

"As for its specific plan, I am still investigating!"

After Jiang Wei finished speaking, he took out a stack of picture albums from his arms and presented them to Zhu Yunzhen.

Jin Yiwei always handles things without leakage.

Everything you see and hear is drawn in picture albums, and the scenes are so lifelike that you can't help but sweat after watching them!

After all, no one wants to be around themselves. Someone may be watching you all the time.

And Jin Yiwei is so pervasive!

"Oh, the imperial court allocates so much salary to them every year, isn't it enough?"

Zhu Yunxuan saw on the album that Chu King Zhu Zhen was dissatisfied with the lack of money given by the court.

King Zhu Shu of Qi took the opportunity to provoke Zhu Zhen, saying that he had a sum of money at his fingertips.

The scene where the two conspired together made me shake my head and sigh slightly.

The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant. This word greed has no end.

The King of Chu used to often ask for military rations from the imperial court, but could not get any results. This was obviously a way to defraud the imperial court of money, but because the other party was the vassal king, no one cared about him.

And now, I am even more courageous.

He wanted to use the road construction project to put all the Ming Dynasty's money into his own pocket.

How could Zhu Yunxuan allow it?!

Of course, to be precise, Zhu Yunzhen wanted to build roads because he wanted to transfer money from the Ming Dynasty's treasury to individuals.

In fact, Zhu Yunzhen could turn a blind eye to their greed for money.

After all, whoever puts money into his pocket will have to flow out.

It can continuously improve the utilization efficiency of social resources and allow Ming Dynasty to move forward.

But what Chu King Zhu Zhen and Qi King Zhu Su wanted to do was not to let Ming Dynasty move forward, but to hold back Ming Dynasty!

Of course Zhu Yunxuan would not allow it!

Not to mention that they went too far. If Ming Dynasty wanted to take the path of capital, it must first hide wealth among the people.

Only the people are getting rich.

Only in the Ming Dynasty will there be idle social resources that can be utilized.

But what they do will only make the people poorer and poorer!

And after those aristocratic families took the money, they would not flow it out. They would just stick to the old ways and turn the money into useless waste paper.

These are all things Zhu Yunzhen cannot accept!

"Money...can only really turn around when it is in the hands of businessmen..."

And the old aristocratic families have to be swept into the dust of history!

The Ming Dynasty needs a new class to step forward in order to usher in real development.

Zhu Yunxuan's purpose is very clear. This new class is the capitalist!

In today's Ming Dynasty, although the number of merchants is increasing day by day.

But they are all traditional businessmen, and no one can be called a capitalist.

All Zhu Yunzhen's current plans and layouts are to give birth to this new class!

"We still need to push forward the unification of land tax as soon as possible!" Zhu Yunzhen thought silently in his heart.

There was no expression on his face.

Instead, he turned around and asked, "Where is Fourth Uncle now?"

Jiang Wei knew Zhu Di's whereabouts very well.

He replied without hesitation: "King Yan has been traveling to many places these days to collect evidence. If the schedule remains unchanged, he will arrive in the capital tonight!"

Zhu Yunxuan put down the memorial in his hand.

He chuckled and said: "It seems that there will be a good show soon."

"I don't know how many people are standing behind our seventh uncle?"

"This time, I will catch them all in one go!"

………………

Prince Xiang's Mansion.

"Hahaha, twelfth brother, look, what did this king bring you?"

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

In the courtyard, King Zhu Bai of Xiang suddenly became sad when he heard this voice.

Don't think too much, it must be your annoying seventh brother who has come to your door.

In fact, the vassal king and the vassal king may not be familiar with each other, not to mention the age difference between them.

Even the fiefdoms are far apart.

Therefore, Zhu Bai was not very familiar with Qi King Zhu Shu.

"I'm so sorry I didn't think of it at the time?" Zhu Bai regretted extremely.

Not long ago, he was obsessed with seeking Taoism and listened to the words of a Taoist priest and wanted to build a majestic Taoist temple.

Used to seek immortality and ask questions.

It happened that he held another alchemy conference, which cost a lot of money.

Zhu Bai suddenly fell into the difficulty of lack of money.

But just at this time, Qi King Zhu Shu suddenly visited him and brought him a sum of money. He did not ask for payment or any other conditions.

Just let him use it as he pleases.

If it's not enough, King Qi still has it, so you can have as much as you want.

Zhu Bai naturally knew that there must be something wrong with it at that time, but the problem was that King Qi did not put forward any conditions, and it was really just money that was in vain.

How could Zhu Bai not be moved?

After all, the Taoist temple he wanted to build was really expensive!

So he accepted the money, and later in the process of building the Taoist temple, more and more silver was used, but from Zhu Su's side, the money kept coming in a steady stream.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After this back and forth, the relationship between the two became familiar.

But not long ago!

King Zhu Shu of Qi suddenly saw him and told him that all the money was actually money used to redeem fields from the Ming Dynasty treasury!

All of it was misappropriated by him to build Taoist temples!

This time, Zhu Bai was really frightened!

Who doesn’t know Lao Zhu’s temper? What he hates most in his life is corrupt officials!

If the corruption is discovered, even his son will be beaten severely! The whip is at your service!

Moreover, the construction of national highways was a national policy set by Taisun.

To misappropriate this money now... wouldn't it be against the great grandson?

What Zhu Bai thinks is wrong.

He was not a stupid person, he was already good at both civil and military skills. However, because he was too fond of seeking immortality and asking questions, he accidentally fell into the trap of the King of Qi.

But the wood has become the boat.

He actually used this money...

So he had no choice but to be dragged aboard the pirate ship by King Qi.

So now Zhu Bai had a headache just by hearing King Qi's voice.

But when King Qi appeared in Zhu Bai's sight, Zhu Bai still had to smile.

"Brother Seven." Zhu Bai greeted.

The two chatted for a while before King Qi got down to business.

"Twelfth brother, my people have received news that our good fourth brother is collecting evidence of our crimes everywhere."

"I'll probably go back to Beijing tonight."

"It is very likely that tomorrow morning, they will attack us at the morning meeting!"

"This time, you have to help Brother Seven and don't let Zhu Yunzhen see the jokes made by us elders!"

When Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, heard this, he was even more embarrassed.

That is King Yan!

Zhu Di!

Is that something he can afford?

"This..." Zhu Bai looked very hesitant.

King Qi continued to persuade: "Twelve brothers, don't panic."

"There are quite a few people here this time."

"Fifth brother and sixth brother are all on our side! In addition, many courtiers are on our side!"

"Fourth brother alone can't shake us!"

King Zhu Bai of Xiang was stunned.

He didn't expect that King Qi would win over so many people!

But then, I got even more headache.

The bigger the pirate ship is, the smaller the chance of him jumping off!

At that time, the great grandson Zhu Yunzhen and Lao Zhu were really angry. After the nest was overthrown, would An's eggs be intact?

Zhu Bai only felt that he could neither advance nor retreat this time!

"Twelfth brother, what are you still hesitating about?"

King Zhu Shu of Qi said with a slight threat: "Don't forget, you use a lot of money!"

Only then did Zhu Bai have to express his position.

"Brother Qi, of course I support you."

"It's just... King Yan is our elder brother after all, and this matter is against the grandson..."

"Should we think about it again?"

Zhu Bai asked tentatively.

But King Qi took action and became furious!

He snorted coldly.

Said: "Grandson? A mere seven or eight-year-old child!"

"What does he mean?"

"King Yan? Everyone says he is powerful, but we just don't take him seriously!"

King Qi has always been proud and never convinced anyone, even if it was Lao Zhu, he would not listen.

How could he listen to Zhu Bai?

"Twelfth brother, don't talk more about this. All you need to do tomorrow is stand up and speak for seventh brother!"

"But don't forget, we are in the same boat!"

Zhu Bai was stunned and speechless.

I had to agree.

But tonight, the entire capital could not be calm, and all the officials in the court knew the news of King Yan's return to the capital.

We even know the news that King Yan is going to fight King Qi in the ring!

After all, the King of Qi acted arrogantly, and every official in the court was aware of everything he did.

And King Yan never deliberately avoided his eyes and ears.

Everyone knows that tomorrow morning, there will be an earth-shattering collision between the two!

All the officials are watching...

Those related to King Qi are even more carefully preparing.

Or find a way to get rid of the relationship with King Qi.

Or find a way to deal with King Yan together with King Qi.

But more onlookers understood.

Behind the real curtain...His Royal Highness Taisun has not yet taken action!

The court of the Ming Dynasty still belongs to His Highness Taisun!

Still your Majesty’s!
