East Palace.

In the main hall.

Seeing Hu Fei's innocent smile, Zhu Biao snorted lightly and took a sip from the tea cup. Unexpectedly, Hu Fei spoke again.

"Although I have money, I always run out of money. The richer I am, the more I have to think about how to save money and make money. Otherwise, for such a big industry, just one day's investment is a huge expense."

"Besides, all my money is the imperial court's money. How can I use my father's money for my own use? Unlike my brother, this tea is exclusively provided by the palace. Where can I buy it with money?

"

Hu Fei sighed, smacked his lips, and continued.

"Looking at you like this, you are planning to come here today to cry poverty, right?"

Zhu Biao snorted and asked slowly.

"Don't dare, I'm just rushing to talk here. Brother Emperor, don't mind, but it would be great if you could take some tea back with you before leaving."

Hu Fei waved his hands and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, it's just a little tea, I can handle it."

"Xiao Qi, order someone to pack a piece of tea and ask him to take it with him when he leaves."

Zhu Biao shook his head helplessly and said loudly to Xiao Qi beside him.

Xiao Qi agreed and slowly retreated.

"Thank you, my dear brother!"

Hu Fei cupped his hand and said happily.

"Well, I know that during this period, you have indeed spent a lot on the nursing home and the pension fund. Since even my father has promised you that the court will bear 30% of the money, I should naturally do the same.

Express it."

"Let's do this. From now on, I will bear 10% of the money required for the pension fund every year. I will save it from the expenses of the East Palace and hand it over to the Accounts Department. This way I can share some of it with you."

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

"real?!"

After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Hu Fei's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise.

"How can it be false?! You don't even believe what I say?!"

Zhu Biao's face darkened and he asked dissatisfied.

"Believe it, believe it, thank you for your generous donation, brother!"

Hu Fei hurriedly raised his hands, bowed respectfully and said with a happy smile on his face.

He was not happy because Zhu Biao agreed to bear 10% of the money. To him, that little money was just a drop in the bucket and nothing.

What made him happy was that Zhu Biao showed his goodwill to him through the pension fund matter, which was a kind of affirmation for him.

It seems that he did make the right move in this move.

"You don't need to thank me. I just want to do something practical for the people that I can do. How can such things that benefit the people be done without me?"

"But I can't compare with you. I'm not as generous as you. I only gave 10%, so don't be too little!"

Zhu Biao slowly took a sip of tea and said thoughtfully.

"It's a blessing for the people that my brother has such a heart. It doesn't matter how much or how little money you have. The most important thing is your heart. With the help of my father and brother, this matter will definitely happen!"

Hu Fei gave Zhu Biao a thumbs up and said with emotion.

"Stop flattering!"

"The Chinese New Year is approaching, can the nursing home be completed before this year?"

Zhu Biao cursed with a smile and asked seriously.

"Brother, don't worry. With your support, I will definitely try my best to complete the nursing home before the end of the year!"

Hu Fei nodded and said decisively.

"good!"

"In this way, homeless elderly people can spend the New Year in peace and contentment."

Zhu Biao nodded approvingly and said sincerely.

Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang and other princes, Zhu Biao is actually a person who loves and protects the people.

After the two chatted for a while, Hu Fei said goodbye to Zhu Biao and left the East Palace. When leaving, he also took away a box of specially provided tea from Xiao Qi.

In the next few days, in addition to being on duty in the health center, Hu Fei only went to the almshouse occasionally and focused on creating entertainment projects for the almshouse.

At the same time, Hu Fei had sent people to start building almshouses across the country. In conjunction with the pension fund promoted by the Ministry of Household Affairs, advanced high-rise buildings were built in various state capitals, triggering a wave of discussion across the country.

Moreover, he also loudly claimed that this was all done in accordance with the decree, and that all decisions were made in compliance with Zhu Yuanzhang's orders. He also claimed that all the money was provided by the imperial court, and publicized the merits of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao everywhere.

For a time, all the people in the country were filled with gratitude and praised Zhu Yuanzhang and his son, and the entire Ming Dynasty was peaceful.

...

Fast forward one month later.

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face became more and more obvious as he looked at the memorial submitted by the Ministry of Revenue regarding the construction of almshouses across the country.

Every time an almshouse is built, it will be filed with the Yamen, and then the Yamen will report it to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Therefore, there are several almshouses across the country, and the Ministry of Household Affairs knows all about the progress of the construction.

This was also specially arranged by Hu Fei. Since it was announced to the outside world that this was a move by the imperial court, it would be better to hand it over to the imperial court for management directly, and save him from spending money to hire people to manage it.

In this way, he only needed to provide people and money to build all the almshouses, and that would be enough to complete the task.

However, although it is managed by the imperial court, he still pays for the money that the hospital needs to spend every year. Although it is a large amount of expenditure, it can gain Zhu Yuanzhang's trust and appreciation, no matter how much money is spent.

Hu Fei is also willing.

"It seems that His Majesty is in a good mood today."

Pang Yuhai looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was smiling and couldn't help but said.

"Well, the construction of almshouses has begun all over the country. Hu Fei has indeed done a good job. I am very pleased."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with a smile.

"It turns out that it's because of the issue of the Alms House. I heard that Marquis Jiu'an also announced to the outside world that the construction of the Alms House was based on His Majesty's will and the money came from the national treasury. Now people are talking about this outside.

I am grateful to the imperial court and His Majesty."

Pang Yuhai smiled and said slowly.

"This brat, when did you learn to flatter him like this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted slightly and said with a hint of reproach, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

Although he knew that Hu Fei did this on purpose, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

"I heard that Marquis Jiu'an seems to have been developing some entertainment equipment for the entertainment center of the Yangtze Yuan recently, and like before, he locked himself in his room all day long."

Pang Yuhai smiled and continued.

"Oh, is it so?"

"I wonder what weird things he is going to create this time."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, became interested immediately, and said thoughtfully.

Every time at this time, Hu Fei's unconstrained ideas can amaze people.

But no one knows that for Hu Fei, those things are just the simplest things.

At this moment, a young eunuch walked in quickly from outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jiu'an is outside seeking an audience."

The little eunuch said while saluting respectfully.

"Oh? He came just as I was talking about him. Let him come in quickly."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, looked at each other and said with a smile.

Soon, Hu Fei slowly walked into the hall, holding a rectangular box in his hand.

"My son, please see your father!"

Hu Fei walked closer, bowed respectfully and said.

"Why do you think you're entering the palace today? What's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, motioned Hu Fei to stand up, and asked curiously, with a faint smile on his face.

"The New Year is approaching, so I have specially prepared a New Year gift for my father. I don't know if my father will like it."

Hu Fei smiled and said slowly.
