Zhu Zhanyong handed it over: "If Mr. Wu agrees, he will sign the seal."
Wuzhong's lips trembled: "Your Highness hasn't made it clear yet."
Zhu Zhanyong thought for a while and said: "If Mr. Wu is honest, this is the note written by Mr. Wu to his students. If Mr. Wu is greedy and treacherous, this is evidence of colluding with my father."
Wuzhong laughed dryly: "Why does Your Highness value this official?"
"I heard that Lord Wu defeated Emperor Jianwen's southern army when he was defending the city for the emperor. He was very effective in resisting Fusui Jizhou, and he made outstanding achievements in controlling drought and locust plagues... He is a man of many tricks." Zhu Zhanyong said with a smile.
.
Wuzhong's expression froze and he smiled and said, "Your Highness is very aware of my achievements, right?"
"Sign or not?"
Wuzhong thought of the hungry people in the four counties, and thought that Zhu Di would call him to discuss the matter tomorrow. He sighed in his heart and took the book.
I looked around and saw no one around.
While signing, he muttered: "Why does Your Highness want to use the university?"
"Well, because the university chapter is short... Mr. Wu signed in the blank space, yes, here and here."
After signing, Zhu Zhanyong took back the notebook.
Wuzhong looked at him with a smile and said to himself, I will see how you gain a foothold in the capital in the future.
…………
Fengtian Temple.
Although Zhu Di sent Wuzhong away, he was still worried about the people of Susong and Hujia. He paced in the palace, frowning, as if thinking about good strategies.
Zhu Zhanji blinked: "Since Grandpa Huang is concerned, why don't you allow Master Wu to provide food relief?"
Zhu Di carefully taught: "The army of two hundred thousand is pacifying Annan, and the king of Han is marching north. I want to ensure that the treasury has food and grass. Zhanji, that is what it is like to be an emperor. The sages and wise kings throughout the ages are nothing more than a clear word. If the food and grass are cut off,
, you will lose military morale."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old eunuch held Yun Zhan in his arms and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Wu has an audience."
"What is he doing here? Didn't I tell him to think of a solution?"
"But……"
Just like that, Wuzhong was sent away.
For several days in a row, Zhu Di did not come to Fengtian Hall or go to the memorial hall. Zhu Di was a little angry and ordered someone to summon him.
Wuzhong lowered his head, stepped over the threshold with his left leg, faced Zhu Di's displeased gaze, walked step by step to the center of the hall, and bowed: "I have met your Majesty."
"I just said a few words to you, but how many days will it take for you to come to see me?" Zhu Di stared at him.
"Your Majesty doesn't want to see me..."
Zhu Di was very angry, but he also liked Wuzhong's outspoken temperament. Damn it, he had no choice but to endure it.
"What are you doing these days?"
"I have thought of a solution."
Zhu Di trembled and looked at Wuzhong: "Wu Qing's family is talking about what happened in Susong, Hujia and other places?"
"Yes." Wu Zhong nodded, and immediately polished what he had discussed before and spoke out.
Zhu Di looked at Wuzhong in surprise: "I heard, after the trial of the new salt law, the salt tickets in Jiangnan are in urgent need. Are there salt fields in Suzhou and other places?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, there are no salt fields, but salt wells." In the past few days, Wuzhong has made complete preparations.
Zhu Di took a few steps and his expression softened: "In the past few days, I have pushed you too hard and said many unpleasant things. I am also worried that the people in the four counties will gather as refugees and the fields will recede. Don't worry about it, Wu Qing. I
I appoint you as the right deputy censor of the capital, and you will personally supervise the affairs."
"Chen...chen..."
If I had known better, I wouldn’t have scolded you!
Wuzhong couldn't help but burst into tears. His voice trembled and stayed in his throat for a long time. He admitted his mistake and said, "I care about the people, so I contradicted you many times. I should apologize to your majesty..."
Zhu Di waved his hand and said seriously: "Okay, okay, let's do it."
The misunderstanding between the king and his ministers is resolved.
After Wu Zhong exited, Zhu Di looked at the door of Fengtian Palace. His mouth was modest, but his heart was happy. Suddenly he felt his mouth was dry. He picked up the teacup and saw two crickets in the teacup.
"Damn it! Zhu Zhanji...this little bastard!"
…………
Beijing, Liren Street.
Iodized snowflake salt is selling like crazy.
A luxurious carriage was galloping slowly. Zhu Zhanyong left the palace, and Zhang Shi was riding with him.
Ever since he robbed his own granary, Zhang Xi has always wanted to prove his superior knowledge. Now, he finally earned back the 5,000 taels he earned from selling salt, and also got a thousand taels in share.
Zhu Zhanyong didn't invest a penny. He wanted to set up a business to help, but he didn't help. Instead, he made more than 3,000 taels. He didn't raise the price of iodized snowflake salt.
If not, you will earn more.
Of course, these silver coins cannot be brought back to the palace and are kept in Qi Zhong's cloth workshop.
Arrive at the Hou Mansion.
Zhang Xi jumped out of the carriage, took the steps of disowning his relatives, and slapped the door of his house vigorously.
"Open the door, open the door!"
When the steward saw him, he looked like he was seeing a bandit. He shouted through the door: "Master, there is really no money in the house!"
"...This young master is here to pay back the money."
"Repay...repay the money? Master, what are you kidding me! Last time you said you wanted to repay the money, but in the end it was the Marquis who owed you a thousand taels. Get the bamboo pole quickly, the master will definitely climb over the wall." The steward hurriedly directed.
.
"enter……"
How could Zhang Yu, the first generation of Duke, give birth to such a son...
Zhu Zhanyong sneered, of course, he was still satisfied with his little brother.
He walked to the crack of the door and tried to let the person inside see his face clearly: "Zhu Zhanyong, open the door."
The steward did not dare to neglect, so he opened the door of the house and saw the coachman and the laborers hurriedly unloading a dozen large black boxes from the carriage.
Are you really here to pay back the money?
In the backyard of the Hou Mansion, Li Zhiluxian was sitting in a pavilion, looking very charming. There was a letter on the desk, and the paper seemed to be the mulberry paper used in the military.
The maid came to her side: "Miss, the young master has returned home with five thousand taels."
Li Zhilu immediately looked at the maid, thoughtfully: "Have you done the counting?"
The maid shook her head: "The steward is doing inventory in the front yard."
As he spoke, Zhang Xi's face was full of pride, and he walked unsteadily to the backyard. When he saw Li Zhilu, he hummed: "Apologise! I know, my sister has complained to my eldest brother!"
Li Zhilu ignored this brother in her eyes, turned her snowy eyes to Zhu Zhanyong beside him, and bowed to salute.
"My daughter must also be grateful to His Highness. Otherwise, the Hou Mansion will definitely suffer losses. I wonder how Your Highness turned salt into medicine?"
She saw that the reason why the salt was sold well was that it could prevent and treat big neck disease... She was really a discerning woman who lived alone.
At this moment, Zhu Zhanyong was like an old craftsman hiding a secret recipe, "It's extremely boring. Miss Li won't be interested. Does Miss Li seem to have something on her mind?"
"No."
So perfunctory... Zhu Zhanyong looked at the bluestone case and saw a half-open letter: "What did the letter from the Marquis of Xincheng say?"
"It's just a family matter."
"My grandson guesses that it must be related to the imperial court's use of troops against Annan. The Marquis of Xincheng is good at leading cavalry. Annan is surrounded by high mountains and lofty mountains. The cavalry cannot take advantage of it, making it very difficult to fight, right?"
"However, if the Marquis of Xincheng passes the military plane to you, does it count as leaking secrets? Unless it is shown to my grandson, otherwise..."
Zhu Zhanyong showed a smile that would otherwise have serious consequences.
Li Zhilu clenched her fists gently, then gradually loosened her fists, and said coldly: "Your Highness, please take a look."
After Zhu Zhanyong read the letter from Marquis Xincheng, he looked at it again and again: "It's really a letter from home. Marquis Xincheng has been loyal to the court and has made my grandson worried."
Li Zhilu found an excuse casually, pushed Zhang Shi away, and pushed away the maid, then looked at Zhu Zhanyong and said:
"My eldest brother rarely talks about the love between children."
"What did Miss Li mean?"
"He must have encountered something unpredictable in Annan, but it was just inconvenient to mention it in the letter."
Zhu Zhanyong pondered for a moment, then raised his head: "Miss Li, want to know about Annan?" This chapter has been completed!
