"You don't need to tell me this. I know very well how greedy those businessmen are." Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.
"Let's get straight to the point. What does this have to do with the King of England?"
Zhu Biao said sternly: "Father, the emperor is taking advantage of being a businessman to do things for the people of Datong."
"Although it seems now that the emperor's price for food is a bit too high."
"But no matter what, money doesn't cost lives."
"Father, think about it, the current price of food in Datong is so high, how attractive is it to those businessmen?"
"In order to make money, those businessmen risked their lives to transport grain to Datong?"
"I believe that it won't be long before there will be so much food in Datong that we won't be able to finish it all."
"The drought that might have killed countless people from starvation has now been solved so easily."
"This is the true purpose of the emperor's uncle!"
To this day, I witnessed with my own eyes that Zhu Han could easily turn his hands into clouds and rain, easily solving the drought problem in Datong.
Forty taels of silver and one stone, even he, the prince, thought it was a bit too expensive.
What's more, as ancient people, they just don't have that much knowledge, and they are not stupid.
"This boy has never let us down."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Biao: "Nonsense, of course I know how to do it, do I still need you to teach me?"
No matter how much food there is, what should we do if ordinary people simply cannot afford it?
When Zhu Biao was born, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang were already quite powerful.
Zhu Biao didn't know that his parents were secretly flirting in front of him.
The content of Zhu Han's memorial quickly spread throughout the government and the public.
"I just want to know how the people of Datong can survive now that face the sky-high price of food?"
After finishing the meal in a hurry, Zhu Biao did not dare to stay for a minute longer and left the palace in a hurry.
"However, if these policies formulated during the Seventh Five-Year Plan can be fully implemented, the real cost of purchasing food for the people of Datong will actually be much higher than usual."
Just after taking a look, he suddenly realized and exclaimed: "So that's it."
However, if Zhu Biao still doesn't know Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts by this time, then his position as the prince will be in vain.
The biggest reason why Zhu Han was able to achieve this result was that he was Zhu Yuanzhang's younger brother.
When Queen Ma heard this, she smiled bitterly and shook her head: "How can we not guess Qi Wu's thoughts?"
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang hated these impeachment memorials, and even most of the content written on the impeachment memorials, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, they were just farts.
When I saw you a few days ago, your behavior was not like this.
"You, don't ask for too much. At Biao'er's age, it's pretty good to be able to do what he is now." Queen Ma slowly shook her head: "If you are too calm, it may not be a good thing."
Of course, some people understand and some don't.
He secretly winked at Queen Ma.
"Okay, Biao'er also knows that he made a mistake and will definitely correct it in the future. You should stop saying a few words and prepare for the meal first."
Empress Ma appeared at the right time and gave Zhu Yuanzhang a step down.
"Nonsense! When has anyone ever provided disaster relief like this since ancient times?"
After reading Zhu Handu's memorial, Zhu Biao immediately paid his respects to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Congratulations to my father. Congratulations to my father. As long as you follow the emperor's method, the drought in Datong will definitely minimize the losses."
But after all, we are still in the startup stage, so life is tight.
He was deliberately downplaying this issue just now, because he had thought about it for a long time and still didn't understand what his imperial uncle was going to do.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to open Zhu Han's memorials and read them.
Hu Weiyong was also shocked: "It turns out that the real purpose of His Royal Highness is this."
"When we conquered the world with Qiwu, you little bastard wasn't even born yet."
He had actually thought about this problem for a long time, but he never figured out how to solve it.
Zhu Biao felt that his advice should still have some effect.
As soon as he looked up, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly opened his eyes.
That's what he said, but looking at the smile that couldn't be concealed on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, you knew that he definitely didn't think so in his heart.
Different from the first time, Zhu Yuanzhang watched extremely slowly this time.
"Today you can use your position as prince to blackmail me for the sake of the King of England, but can you do the same for others tomorrow?"
Gritting his teeth, Zhu Biao said in a trembling voice: "I can use my identity as the prince as a guarantee, but the emperor's uncle is definitely not such a person."
"Although the price set by the emperor is high now, as the saying goes, things are more valuable when they are rare."
That look seemed to be telling Zhu Yuanzhang: "This son was born to me."
"You can still do this."
"Go back to my father..." Zhu Biao thought hard and said everything he thought.
Less than a day later, Zhu Han's memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang finally arrived.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not order those people not to impeach Zhu Han because of this.
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Zhu Biao's nose and scolded him for most of the day, which made Zhu Biao extremely depressed.
He hurriedly advised Zhu Yuanzhang again: "Father, my sons and ministers can..."
"That's right, sister." Zhu Yuanzhang obviously didn't want to talk more about this issue and decisively changed the subject.
Even so, Zhu Biao actually wasn't too worried.
As an authentic and reckless person, although Zhu Yuanzhang has now become the emperor, his previous temper cannot be easily changed.
In addition to ability, what Lao Zhu valued most was Zhu Biao's temperament.
Instead of being angry, Lao Zhu was very pleased.
"This..." Zhu Biao was speechless for a moment.
While watching Zhu Han's memorial to clear the land, Zhu Biao's screams never stopped.
He never felt that he was inferior to Zhu Han.
"Okay, since you said there is no problem with the King of England, then I will ask you."
"Biao'er is still too young and his temperament is not calm enough."
It looks like he wants to eat his uncle alive, okay?
"Even if I believe you will rebel, I don't believe Qi Wu will use power for personal gain."
Zhu Biao tried his best to explain, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all.
Of course Zhu Biao still understands the simplest economic theory.
"Food prices are high in Datong now. It's just because the drought has resulted in no harvest, and there is no food in Datong."
When others only had disaster relief in mind, Hu Weiyong had already seen it.
"Why didn't I think of that?"
Just after being summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao couldn't wait to ask: "Father, I heard that the emperor's memorial has arrived."
That look was as if he was saying: "You see, he is indeed my kind, he is smart. Even the ministers in the dynasty cannot understand things, but my son can understand them."
I finished reading Zhu Han's memorial almost word for word.
Zhu Biao is naturally not comparable to those princes who have grown up in the palace since childhood.
"You have so many brothers, but they are all staring at this position eagerly."
"Let me tell you, if you don't want to be the prince, I can replace him at any time."
"The imperial court is providing disaster relief, but it actually requires the common people to work in order to get the corresponding food."
brush!
Zhu Biao's face suddenly turned pale and he hurriedly defended: "Father, you have misunderstood. I definitely did not mean this."
If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang being too busy and having government affairs to deal with, I don't know how long this period would last.
"As expected of an imperial uncle!"
"You are the prince of the Ming Dynasty. If you are so impulsive and reckless in everything you do, how can I leave this country to you?"
Zhu Han had told Zhu Yuanzhang about this before, as the lord of the world.
All memorials to impeach Zhu Han were left unpublished.
After Zhu Biao left, the anger on Zhu Yuanzhang's face completely disappeared.
"But there is no way, who made him our son? No one else can bear these sufferings for him."
Empress Ma was speechless. After all, she was already an emperor. Why did she still act like a child?
He pointed at his belly calmly.
"I see, you should stop speculating. I guess it won't be long before the memorial of the July 5th Five-Year Plan is coming, and the truth will be revealed by then."
If you don't have this identity, you may not be much better than him.
"What is this? Just like your unsatisfactory imperial uncle, he only acts on impulse and never estimates the consequences."
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had been silent for a long time, he couldn't guess what his father was thinking.
"Nonsense!" Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and slapped the dragon throne fiercely: "What do you think the prince is? Can you use my bargaining chip at will?"
"The common people have suffered such misfortunes and are already very pitiful."
"Open your mouth to speak profitably, but keep your mouth shut and speak profitably. What's the difference between this and those profiteers?"
"Once those merchants transport a large amount of grain to Datong, resulting in a food surplus in Datong, the price of grain will naturally drop."
"I just want to explain to my father that my uncle is definitely not the kind of person who is blind to money."
After reading it as quickly as possible, Zhu Yuanzhang read it again.
He just held on to it and asked in a deep voice: "I didn't ask you whether the price of food will be reduced in the future."
In the next ten years or so, Datong as a whole will inevitably usher in a period of rapid development.
Instead, there was a satisfied laugh.
"Is it possible that you still don't believe in Qi Wu?"
After listening to Zhu Biao's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression seemed to soften a lot.
Zhu Biao even discussed this issue with his staff, but none of them could understand Zhu Han's thoughts.
Since he couldn't stop it, Zhu Yuanzhang simply stopped watching.
Although I didn't get a definite answer, from Zhu Yuanzhang's name to Zhu Han.
Of course we know very well what the price of food is.
Zhu Biao quickly took it and started reading it impatiently.
Unfortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously not fooled.
Some people felt extremely guilty after understanding Zhu Han's painstaking efforts.
This time, he felt that Zhu Han also hated him enough to have a solution.
"At this time, the imperial court should play its role in drought relief and distribute food so that the people have food to eat."
And all of this was brought about by Zhu Han.
Moreover, as the prime minister, Hu Weiyong saw problems further than others.
As long as everyone in Datong can strictly follow Zhu Han's rules and regulations.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, as if to say: "It won't work without our old Zhu's seed."
Zhu Yuanzhang had just finished reading the memorial when Zhu Biao hurriedly asked to see him.
Although he has always lived in the shadow of Zhu Han, Hu Weiyong has always been very conceited.
"This..." Zhu Biao lowered his head deeply.
The more he looked at it, the brighter the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face became.
This imperial uncle of mine has created countless miracles in the past.
Immediately afterwards, the speed of reading the memorial became faster and faster.
He has truly seen the suffering of the people.
At least on the surface, there can never be only one voice in the court.
In a court like that, there will be big chaos sooner or later.
Zhu Yuanzhang directly handed the edict to Zhu Biao: "Let's take a look."
"Hey, you are still too young. You were fooled around by your father and your uncle." Zhu Biao comforted himself in his heart.
Not to mention those real people.
Although Zhu Biao is not a modern person, he has received some influence from Zhu Han after all.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not even interested in taking another look.
Zhu Biao wants to cry but has no tears. Although you are a biological father, you don't want to play tricks on others, right?
Since you trust your uncle so much, you should have said it earlier.
"The King of England priced grain so high that it could certainly attract those grain merchants to try their best to transport grain to Datong."
"I actually misunderstood His Royal Highness. If the content in the memorial is true, His Royal Highness has saved the entire Datong!"
It's just that Zhu Biao doesn't know what Zhu Han wants to do.
Only Zhu Biao dared to stand up and say a few fair words for Zhu Han at this time.
"Are you still worried that you and I will misunderstand Qi Wu?"
"If everyone in the court is like this, then wouldn't the court be in chaos?"
"What do you think we should do during the Seventh Five-Year Plan to ensure that the people of Datong can eat food?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled in anger: "We also know that Biao'er has suffered a lot in these years."
"I see. No wonder Qiwu dared to set the price of food so high."
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Of course we believe this kid. If we don't even believe him, there will be no one in the world who can be trusted."
"It's just that before the July 5th Memorial Day comes, those people may continue to impeach the 75th Five-Year Plan."
"With four taels of silver and one stone, most people cannot buy a few grains of rice even if they lose all their money."
"But no matter how little food is available, what will happen if the people can't afford it?"
"No, I can't let His Majesty be deceived by the traitor. I must impeach Zhu Han severely so that His Majesty can clearly see the ugly face of Zhu Han, the traitor!"
Swish, brush, brush!
Another wave of impeachment was delivered to Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, compared with before, the number of memorials to impeach Zhu Han this time was obviously less than half.
"Let's stay in China." Zhu Yuanzhang just read one, then completely lost interest and threw these memorials aside.
Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict was quickly issued, allowing Datong to have the right to cooperate with Zhu Han in disaster relief.
