Chapter 100 Let Zhu Di spend 300,000 yuan in three words
Chapter 100 Three words to ask Zhu Di to spend 300,000 on me
"What? The dog is dead?"
Zhu Ru's vision went dark and he almost fainted.
Although he wanted to strangle Li Jinglong to death, Zhu Ju couldn't bear the thought that he might be poisoned by himself. He quickly turned around and ran away, and ordered his servants to prepare a large bucket of... dung juice.
It's still steamy.
It was delivered directly to Li Jinglong.
"Don't say anything, just drink it quickly to survive!"
Li Jinglong is simply crazy. I am a tall and dignified man. I would rather die than drink dung juice!
And it looks a bit familiar.
"Your Highness, isn't this what I just did?"
Zhu Ru was anxious, "You talk so much nonsense? Isn't it great that the wealth does not flow to outsiders? Just vomit, you don't want to live anymore!"
"Not only mine, but also Cao Guogong's. He promised to pay for it."
On the other hand, King Zhu Ju of Zhou stood up and said, "I'm going to have a serious talk with Fourth Brother. Even if Fourth Brother can't get the money, I won't let him hit you casually."
Xu Jingchang blinked, I won't testify for you!
Hearing this, Zhu Gaosui was moved, "Fifth uncle, in this world full of malice, you can only give my nephew a little warmth. I'm so pitiful."
It's nothing. In fact, this book was roughly compiled before the feudal clan was abolished. It just lacked a suitable opportunity to publish it. And what about trying to eat wild vegetables and being poisoned several times... I don't even know this. Where did you hear it?
of?
"Dong Guo, you have praised me too much, you have praised me too much."
Zhu Zhu moved his buttocks, his face turned red, and he was obviously embarrassed.
Zhu Gaosui cried, "Second brother, why do you think it's always me who gets hurt? You can't always bully me!"
Zhu Di snorted, "Aren't you willing to be generous and take out some money?"
How miserable can a dog be?
I am the worst, okay!
Zhu Tie could only nod, "Your Majesty, I also know that there are many wastes to be made and the national treasury is tight, but at any rate, please be merciful to Your Majesty and reward me with some money so that I can publish a batch. I am willing to spend all my salary and savings...
If I don’t have enough, I still have Cao Guogong’s.”
Zhu Di said with a sullen face: "It's not that I'm unwilling to pay, it's just that the treasury is very empty... Luo Qian offered me two million taels to control the floods in western Zhejiang and Taihu Lake. To rebuild the three main halls, we need 3.5 million taels."
. To collect the rebels, pacify the place, exterminate the bandits, help the people return to their homeland, live and work in peace and contentment, another million taels... and build ships and prepare to sail to the West, another 1.8 million taels."
"Your Majesty, it is my brother who is ignorant and has caused trouble to Your Majesty."
Zhu Rui set his sights on Xu Jingchang.
Zhu Di did the math and said helplessly: "When you are not a family member, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. It was only after I sat on the dragon's throne that I realized how difficult the imperial examination is. Spending money is needed everywhere, but I only have so much money in my hand. So do I."
It’s so embarrassing!”
Then he asked Xu Jingchang, "You used to be a political envoy, so you must have experience. Can you tell me how much it will cost to print this book? Is it possible to get it together?"
Li Jinglong rolled his eyelids feebly, not daring to say anything.
Zhu Ting didn't seem to hear what he said, but thought to himself: "It seems that I have used less bean leaves, or eaten too much... I have to think about it again. But my rhubarb, why did it suddenly run away? Could it be that
Will you go crazy if you eat pokeweed?"
Xu Jingchang watched silently from the side, and finally understood Zhu Gaosui's reminder, don't try anything on Zhu's side, otherwise he will become an innocent guinea pig.
"I'm telling you, Your Highness, King Zhou, you're trying to punish me. If you want to publish books, I'll pay for them... I'm begging you, can we put the past things behind us?"
Zhu Xi blushed and said, "Your Majesty, my brother has been busy organizing these days and has indeed compiled a book of herbal medicine for famine relief. I asked Duke Ding to read it."
The housekeeper said bitterly: "Young ones don't know, I just heard them say that when Dahuang ran out, a carriage passed by at a high speed. It knocked Dahuang away, the wheels ran over it, and blood spattered on the road. It was so miserable!"
Contemporary Shennong, escaped from death?
Li Jinglong cried, "I am a human, not a dog! I beg your highness, please spare me!"
Xu Jingchang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I actually had a lot of emotions after reading His Highness King Zhou's book... His Highness King Zhou has a pure nature. He was taught by Emperor Taizu and Queen Xiaocigao when he was young. He cares about the people and cares about their sufferings.
. He is kind-hearted and has a great compassion. He grew up with His Majesty, and I think Your Majesty must also feel that."
Zhu Di said: "You said it's so lively, what are you going to do? Tell me clearly, how much do you want to spend?"
Xu Jingchang was not worried, "Anyway, it was your father who did it. As for whether he will give you real money or fried bamboo shoots and meat, only God knows."
Zhu Zhu finally nodded, but then said: "You can't be considered a human being. What you did to me before was to instigate a relationship between father and son... You are just a dog! There is no one more dog than you!"
Fortunately, he is in good health, otherwise he would really have gone to the underworld to report.
Xu Jingchang did not say anything to Zhu Di, but faced Zhu Di and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I think this matter should be widely informed so that the world can understand what it means to truly serve the people. It's people like the King of Zhou, not those who
You are a rotten scholar and a sycophant who talks about three generations of rule with empty words! Your Majesty, if you don’t explain clearly what happened in the past four years as soon as possible so that the people can understand right and wrong, I am really afraid that some people will confuse right and wrong!”
Xu Jingchang looked at Zhu Gaosui again and said, "His Royal Highness, King Zhao, can you print books quickly?"
Two days later, Zhu Xi found an opportunity and went with Xu Jingchang to meet Zhu Di.
Zhu Gaosui was miserable, and Li Jinglong was miserable.
Xu Jingchang was in a good mood, and he chatted with Zhu Xi for a long time, mainly talking about this book.
After going back and forth several times, I finally calmed down.
Zhu Gaosui said: "Yes, but you have to pay more!"
This butler talks so loudly that he deserves to be killed!
"Fifth brother, why are you free? You're not asking for money from fourth brother, are you?" Zhu Di joked.
Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, I have discussed with the King of Zhou and I plan to take advantage of the autumn harvest to print a batch and give them to the people for free so that everyone can take them home and read them carefully to increase their knowledge."
Zhu Di was startled for a moment. It was obviously Xu Jingchang who came with him. Why are you mentioning Li Jinglong?
"Your Majesty, Mr. Cao Guogong is still recovering at home. He has some internal injuries... But don't worry, Your Majesty, he is indeed willing to donate generously." Xu Jingchang said seriously.
Li Jinglong was also anxious. If he drank this, even if he was alive, he would be almost dead!
"Your Highness...have you asked, how did that dog die?"
He finally called the housekeeper and asked carefully.
"You just need me to pay for it?" Zhu Di summed it up well.
And don’t think I’m a fool like King Zhou. I know better than you whether you have money or not.
As the saying goes, a good man cannot stand up to three turds. Li Jinglong's face turned green when he ran to the latrine, his legs were as soft as noodles, and there were stars in front of his eyes, and the sky was dark.
Zhu Di hurriedly said: "Fifth brother, what are you talking about? Your book is of great merit. I have no money at the moment. In a few years, when the national treasury is rich, I will definitely provide money to help you publish this book.
, promulgate it to the world... By the way, let Xu Jingchang testify for me!"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Your Highness, do you want to rely on your own money to print books?"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Your Highness, this book cannot be distributed as many times as it is printed, nor can the common people get it only after it is distributed."
If you act like a boss, you will lose all your employees.
Li Jinglong was too lazy to refute. Firstly, he had no strength, and secondly, he was at the mercy of Jianwen. He really owed it to these old friends who had grown up together.
Zhu Xi pondered: "What should we do?"
Xu Jingchang immediately said: "That's right! Your Majesty, I was about to say this. How crazy must I be to attack the innocent and kind His Highness the King of Zhou? A generation of virtuous kings dedicated themselves to the people, but they were cut off from their vassals for no reason and sent to a barren land.
.It’s so heartbreaking that God cannot tolerate it!”
Zhu Rui was still a little unaccustomed to being so praised.
Zhu Ru scolded for a while, and when Li Jinglong remained silent, he felt bored.
Xu Jingchang said: "Your Highness, King Zhou, this is just one of them. Although you were demoted and your vassal was cut off, your life was precarious. But you still cared about the people. During this period, you explored the mountains and fields and tried wild vegetables yourself. You can be called a modern Shennong. You were poisoned several times.
It was really not easy to escape death to get this book!"
Faced with Zhu Di's cry for poverty, the honest man Zhu Ji soon had nothing to say.
Zhu Ju suddenly looked at Li Jinglong and said, "Mr. Cao Guo, do you want to run outside now?"
I have already given you Zhu Di an official position, why do you still need me to pay for it?
Xu Jingchang finally reminded him, and Zhu Tie was stunned. How did he die?
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but hum: "Don't bother, stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots is inevitable. My father has been talking about replenishing the treasury every day for more than a year. I don't think the third son will be able to escape after a severe beating."
Xu Jingchang said: "I thought of a way, isn't the autumn harvest coming soon? The common people have to pay the autumn grain. We take advantage of this time to publish a batch of pamphlets, and everyone who pays taxes will receive one for free. As for printing
Your Majesty will pay for the book."
Zhu Di nodded, "You are right, fifth brother is true. It's just that he is such a kind person, but he was sent to Yunnan and suffered a lot. I feel very sad for him."
Xu Jingchang spread his hands. It would be too much to ask him to pay.
He jumped up and wanted to crush the housekeeper to death.
Zhu Di frowned, "What do you mean?"
However, his stomach growled again, so he could only turn around and run away, and went to the hut again.
“What the hell is going on with that rhubarb?”
"Thanks to your majesty's successful appeasement and restoration of my throne, this is all your majesty's fault."
Of course he was poisoned, otherwise how could he have died?
After he finished speaking, Li Jinglong suddenly screamed strangely.
Xu Jingchang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this book written by His Royal Highness the King of Zhou is really interesting. What he collected was not medicine, but edible wild vegetables. It was called famine relief, and it also taught the people to distinguish between species. I think it was a great achievement and useful.
It’s huge. After it’s printed, the merits will be immeasurable.”
"Your Majesty, I have heard that someone collected Fang Xiaoru's bones and buried them outside the Jubao Gate. There were also people who paid high prices for Fang Xiaoru's poems and articles."
When Zhu Di heard this, he became furious and said, "How brave are you to summon the soul of a rebellious minister! Do you think I am a dead person?"
Xu Jingchang said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. I would like to ask your Majesty to correct the situation and eliminate evil, so as to prevent the slightest change."
Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said, "Allocate three hundred thousand taels of silver from the internal funds to print books for the fifth brother... Also, the Jin Yiwei must trace and find out who summoned Fang Xiaoru's soul!"
