The two spent a day without shame.

The next day, Zhao Ce did not go out again and stayed at home with his wife and children.

After Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace, he was immediately summoned by Emperor Hongzhi.

He happily asked people to carry the wooden box to his father.

Emperor Hongzhi finally felt relieved when he saw him come back with all his beard and tail.

When he heard the news about the plague in Tongzhou, he was already worried.

Later, he sent two imperial doctors to bring Zhu Houzhao back, but the playful man did not listen to him at all.

Later, there was the memorial from Liu Wentai that I received not long ago.

It actually said that smallpox could be cured using Yong Xibo’s method!

This news made Emperor Hongzhi feel unbelievable for a moment.

So as soon as he saw Zhu Houzhao appearing in front of him, Emperor Hongzhi immediately put down the memorial he was looking at and asked impatiently: "Tell me the truth about the smallpox epidemic in Tongzhou."

Zhu Houzhao asked someone to put the box on the table. Seeing his father's anxious look, he smiled and briefly told him what he knew.

"So, when I left, Judge Liu had already decided on Yong Xibo's method to prevent people from being infected with smallpox again."

"But for details, we have to wait and see after he inoculates other people with cowpox."

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi felt excited for a moment.

As far as he knew, no one could cure smallpox from the time it was discovered until now.

Even if there were medical records on the treatment of smallpox in the past, without exception, the cure rate was extremely low.

Now that he is in office, can he solve such a plague that has plagued the dynasty for many years?

This is a great achievement that will be recorded in the history books!

As an emperor, will he be remembered by historians as an emperor through the ages like Taizu and Taizong?

The more Emperor Hongzhi thought about it, the more excited he became and he was immersed in his own world.

I thought that when I got underground, even if I saw Taizu and the others, I would be able to brag a bit with them.

Even his own son was standing next to him and he had no time to care.

When Zhu Houzhao saw that his father was deep in thought, he did not bother him.

He lowered his head and sorted out the forms he had recently produced.

While he was tidying up, he heard his father, who was always gentle and elegant, suddenly slam the table in excitement.

There was a "bang" sound.

Zhu Houzhao's heart couldn't help but tremble.

Emperor Hongzhi said excitedly: "Okay!"

"Very good!"

"Come here, let Liu Yuanpian stay in Tongzhou for testing!"

"Whatever medicine and manpower you need, allocate them to him!"

The people next to you took the order and went down.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao with burning eyes again.

"So this epidemic can be regarded as being solved by Yong Xibo."

Declarative sentences are used.

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Of course."

"Uncle Yongxi tried the medicine himself. If this were not the case, who would dare to believe his method?"

Emperor Hongzhi murmured: "The great merit of hanging the pot to save the world is an immortal merit..."

Zhu Houzhao took advantage of the situation and continued: "So father, you must reward him heavily."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him and forced himself to calm down.

He laughed and scolded: "Okay, Father knows what's going on."

There is no rush on this matter, we have to wait for Liu Wentai to give a clear explanation.

Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything more and happily sent the form over.

"Uncle Yongxi spent a lot of time talking about the epidemic."

"But do you want my father to take a look at this commercial tax matter first?"

Emperor Hongzhi then remembered that his son went to Tongzhou for business and tax purposes.

He quickly suppressed his excitement and forced himself to return his eyes to the form in front of him.

Just looking at the data above, he always felt a little magical.

Zhu Hou seemed to be overjoyed to take care of his father. He coughed lightly and opened the wooden box that was placed aside.

"Father, this is the commercial tax my son received in Tongzhou Fucheng."

"The total is thirty-four thousand taels of silver."

Emperor Hongzhi came back to his senses and looked at the real money and silver beside him.

"Tongzhou's commercial tax?"

Zhu Houzhao corrected: "It is the commercial tax of merchants in Tongzhou City."

"I didn't have time to go to other counties under Tongzhou."

The original calculation was more than 20,000 taels.

But after Zhu Houzhao brought people to the door to collect him, those people tried to cling to His Highness the Crown Prince.

In fact, everyone paid a lot more.

His Royal Highness naturally had no objections and accepted them all happily.

Emperor Hongzhi originally just wanted him to get some data, but unexpectedly he got all the money back.

"Based on this, the levy of business tax can really solve the current predicament of our country."

Afterwards, he was a bit dumbfounded and said: "My son went directly to collect it?"

"This move has not yet been announced to the world, so it may be inappropriate to act in advance."

Zhu Houzhao now has more achievements, but he is not afraid of his father at all.

He let out a soft "hum".

"My son went to war first, which saved my father the trouble."

"But that's not the point!"

Zhu Houzhao asked: "So, Father, do you think Yong Xibo's policy of raising commercial taxes is feasible?"

Emperor Hongzhi had a strange expression when he heard this.

I have been busy with disaster relief work these past few days, and I am worried that my son will accidentally be infected with the epidemic in Tongzhou.

Empress Zhang was also worried and came to him crying several times from time to time.

He really forgot about Zhao Ce.

Emperor Hongzhi was in a bad mood, so the main list is probably already ranked today.

His previous rejection of Zhao Ce's policy theory was not sure whether it would affect his results.

When Zhu Houzhao saw his father's silence, he seemed to have thought of this as well.

His Royal Highness, who had been pretending to be calm just now, immediately started a trio of "Ao Ao Ao".

"Oh, Father, have you forgotten this?"

"Then what about Yong Xibo's results this autumn?"

"If he is not selected because of this, then how can I dare to come to him to play with him in the future... oh, ask him questions?"

"Oh, by the way, in addition to the cure for smallpox, Uncle Yongxi also gave us a big gift."

"How can this be good?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked a little embarrassed.

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Is it possible that I want to interfere with the ranking of the imperial examination for Yong Xibo?

However, Zhu Houzhao said that in addition to the cure for smallpox, there was also a great gift. What was going on?

Emperor Hongzhi thought so and asked.

Zhu Houzhao said unhappily: "Uncle Yongxi found a cave on a mountain outside Tongzhou City."
