"Father!" Zhu Youcong squirmed excitedly into King Fu's house. Why is he said to be squirming? It's a joke, an eight-year-old fat man who is less than 1.2 meters tall and weighs nearly 100 kilograms. You still expect him to jump and run.
Get up, maybe even the penguins in Antarctica can fly.
"Oh? Is there something wrong with Cong'er?" King Fu put the gold brick in his hand into the box, turned to the guard next to him and said, "Carry it down! Be careful, don't touch my things!" As he spoke, he looked at the guard.
He held the box in his hand, as if he was afraid that if someone touched his gold and silver, he would lose two taels of gold and silver.
Zhu Youcong is so sweaty. It seems that at least the stingy King Fu in the history is really not what others slandered. The hands of his bodyguards are not made of molten water and can they melt your gold bricks?
"Well...Father, my son remembered something today and wants to discuss it with his father!" Forget it, Ren, why does his fat father love him so much? Isn't he just a little greedy for money? Isn't he just a little stingy? Of course.
According to legend, his greed for money and stinginess were a bit excessive, but all this was slowly changed by Zhu Youcong.
"Cong'er, did you remember the appearance of the person who scared you? Tell your father, he will immediately send guards to catch you!" The ridiculous expression full of murderous intent appeared on Fat King Fu's face again.
"The child didn't think of that person, but the child remembered the person who was sent by the gods to rescue the child in the dream." Since it's the Ming Dynasty, it's normal for the gods to be a little bit different. Could it be that he told King Fu that he decided to build an army after thinking for so many days?
Huh? Why don't you scare his fat father who has just returned to a normal life and give him a heart attack? Oh, it's also possible that King Fu already has a heart disease.
Zhu Youcong has been thinking a lot in the past few days. He is not only thinking about not being arrested by Li Zicheng to make soup, but also not imagining that his unlucky eldest brother Zhu Yousong, who has not yet met in history, was like the Donglin Party members.
He was promoted to power as a puppet, and then sold to the Houjin Tatars. In this way, he could only build and own an army of his own! After all, he is of royal blood now, and even if he is a puppet in history, he is still his eldest brother.
Emperor. Now that Zhu Youcong is here, as someone from later generations, of course he has to prepare for a rainy day. What's more, the army he wants to have is not only to defend Luoyang and his home, but more importantly, he wants to save the world.
The empire of the Han people! As an angry young man of later generations, he firmly denied the braided dynasty. For this reason, he fought with Qing fans on the Internet for several years. Fuck the Qing Dynasty, Fuck Gegebeile, and Fuck Kang.
In the prosperous age of Qian Dynasty, those traitors whose humanity, blood and national integrity were wiped out by the Tatars disappeared into the vast universe while they were still non-organic creatures.
Of course, it is no joke to build an army of his own that can complete such a difficult task. Money, food, people, people's hearts, territory, and generals are all indispensable. Money, his fat father has a lot
, although his fat father is so stingy and it is definitely not enough on his own, but he can take his time and fool him a little first, and then find a way to make money. Food is not the most urgent thing right now. Now sweet potatoes
, corn, and potatoes should have also spread to China. Slowly send people to search for it. By then, it is said that not only all the 20,000 hectares of land in the family can be planted, but as long as half of it can be planted, it will be a full million acres of land. At that time
Not to mention raising a small elite army, it should be enough to raise more than half of Henan. People? That is not a big problem. The coming natural disaster will cause millions of refugees to the Ming Dynasty.
People's support? Well, this is a bit troublesome. It's really hard to say what his fat father did in history, but now that Zhu Youcong is here, it's slow considering how favored he is and how far away he is from the turmoil.
It is not impossible to change slowly. Territory? This is also a trouble. After all, there are regulations there. As a feudal king, you cannot leave the fiefdom, let alone have your own base. However, in times of trouble, the central government has no control over the local government.
His control will be greatly reduced. If it is no longer possible to have a strong army, he will occupy Luoyang City and plan for the further development of Henan. In the early stage, he did not plan to recruit many troops, and it would be enough to carve out a corner on his family's land.
Now. The most pressing issue now is the issue of generals. Judging from his pitiful and deceived historical knowledge, there were many generals in the late Ming Dynasty, but there were really few who were both loyal and capable.
Several. And this year, one of them will appear, so Zhu Youcong's black heart began to bubble, and an unlucky person also appeared...
"Oh? Who? Which eminent monk or Taoist family is he? My father will send someone to invite him right away. If he doesn't come, he will be kidnapped by the guards!" King Fu jumped up with joy when he heard this. He had not forgotten that he had been kidnapped.
The fat boy Zhu Youcong was so frightened by his suicidal behavior that he became ill for several days. Now he was even more happy when he heard that it was actually guided by a god.
Eminent monk? Taoist immortal? Fat daddy, why don't you say that you are a superman with his underwear on backwards? Zhu Youcong felt so sweaty in his heart, it seems that the magic stick should not be too awesome.
"Father! The child's dream is to be a student rushing to take the exam!" Zhu Youcong didn't dare to go around in circles anymore, so he told the person quickly, lest his fat father would really recruit a monk or Taoist priest to his family later.
What else is he playing?
"Student? What's your name? Where are you from?" It was King Fu's turn to look puzzled. He really couldn't connect a scholar, especially a scholar rushing to take the exam, with an expert. But since his precious son said so,
If the gods in the dream gave such guidance, it must be right.
"Lu Xiangsheng's courtesy name is Jiandou, and his name is Jiutai! He is from Yixing, Changzhou, and was born in the 28th year of Wanli. His grandfather was a county magistrate, and his father was a scholar." Zhu Youcong was afraid that if he didn't give enough details, his fat father would arrest the wrong person.
That would be a big trouble. But I didn’t expect that this would make King Fu believe that this person was guided by the gods. Otherwise, who would know so much about a student? What’s more, the person who said this was still eight years old at that time.
The youngest son who has been away from home.
"Someone is coming!"
"My subordinates are here! Do you have any orders from the prince?" As expected of a prince's palace, the people who handle things are very quick.
Before King Fu finished speaking, a strong man appeared at the door. Those who didn't know better thought he was invisible just now.
"Go, send someone back to the capital quickly to call me Lu Xiangsheng. If he dares to say no, he will be tied up! But remember not to hurt him!" Sometimes people from the royal family are so unreasonable.
, King Fu has nothing to say about his efficiency in doing things for his precious son.
"Father, wait!" Zhu Youcong is going to kidnap someone, right? Fat dad, he is a famous minister, and he must have a temper even if he has not yet become successful. Besides, kidnapping people in the capital is not a problem.
Ah, even though you, the prince, are the uncle of the current emperor, you will still attract people's jealousy.
"What else can you do, Cong'er?" King Fu waved his hand to stop the guard who was about to leave with his order.
"Father, the immortal in the dream said that this person will definitely win the second grade. What's more, it is already the twenty-third of the first lunar month, and now the palace examination is about to end. Please consider this carefully, father!" It is definitely not possible to kidnap people.
But now, at least on the surface, Zhu Youcong is still only eight years old, and he is not very clear about the current situation. He should leave it to his fat father to make mistakes, and he is so stupid that King Fu is also a prince. He has never seen a pig run away.
Have you never eaten pork? Well, it seems to be the opposite, but that’s what it means. Some matters in officialdom are better left to adults.
"Well...my son is very considerate!" King Fu no longer doubted that his son had received guidance from the immortal, and he was more determined to get this Lu Xiangsheng, so that Zhu Youcong could grow up without any illness or disaster.
Adult.
"Go and call Xiao Changzi! Get another five hundred taels of silver!" King Fu called to the guard at the door, with a look of pain on his face.
"...Five hundred taels? What for? Is there a subsidy for the business trip?" Zhu Youcong didn't expect that his fat father would be so generous. He couldn't help but feel happy for the little Changzi. This kid would definitely be a popular drink during this business trip.
It's spicy.
"I'm here to see you, Your Majesty. What are your orders?" Not long after, a pretty good-looking man walked in. If his voice hadn't been so sharp, no one would have known that he was actually a eunuch.
"Little Changzi! You have a good relationship with Eunuch Wei in the palace!" Prince Fu asked inexplicably without even looking up...
"Going back to the prince, I was trained by Eunuch Wei. Later, I worked in the prince's house, but my connection with Jiu Qian was not broken. I don't know, prince..."
"Well, it's good to have contact!" Prince Fu nodded and continued to give instructions: "Later, take a handwritten letter from me and go to the capital to find Eunuch Wei, and tell him that I have something to entrust you with!"
"Ah..." Xiao Changzi looked like he was crying. Zhu Youcong, who was watching silently, couldn't help but cursed in his heart, "Damn eunuch, I'm so unhappy traveling at public expense. If I hadn't been so young, I would have gone by myself."
, it’s your turn to enjoy the scenery along the way!”
"Is there a problem?" It can be seen that King Fu is not happy either. Is that so, you are traveling at public expense, how dare you not be happy?
"No...no...slave, go get ready now!" Under the pressure, Xiao Changzi finally showed a forced expression of excitement on his face.
"That's good. In this way, you can bring these five hundred taels of silver to Eunuch Wei on my behalf, and tell him that the person in the letter will get it no matter what! In addition, I will not treat you unfairly.
Go to the accountant and pay ten taels of silver to pay for your expenses. Go and come back as soon as possible." King Fu said the last words through gritted teeth and waved his hand to drive Xiao Changzi away with a bitter look on his face.
"Ah... buy Lu Xiangsheng for five hundred taels??" Zhu Youcong finally came to his senses. He was so surprised that he couldn't help but cursed in his heart, "Fat dad, you are so... so deceptive! Five hundred in the late Ming Dynasty
Two are very valuable, but you don’t do this? You know, Lu Xiangsheng was a great hero who first became a Jinshi, later served as a famous magistrate, joined the political right, and commanded tens of thousands of "Tianxiong Army" to fight against the Qing Dynasty! And because of my words!
...Also, from Luoyang to the capital, even if we take the high-speed highway in later generations, it is still more than 800 kilometers. Not to mention it is the end of the Ming Dynasty, you still give me ten taels of expenses?" Zhu Youcong was very, very serious now.
It was confirmed that his father was really a stingy man, and he also understood why Xiao Changzi almost cried when he heard that he was going on a business trip just now.
"Hey... Cong'er, money is something external to the body. Although my father doesn't have much money, it's worth it for you! As long as my Cong'er can be healthy, it's more important than anything else!" King Fu felt distressed but it was worth it for you!
He also comforted Zhu Youcong, fearing that his precious son would be as reluctant to part with the money as he was.
"My child... my dear, thank you, father!" Zhu Youcong was about to cry. Why? Who in time travels through time is not the king who bows to him as soon as his anger leaks out? Although he is young and doesn't have that much power now.
He has a domineering spirit, but he can win people's hearts through something. How can his father Yu Yin find one or two subordinates? Why is his fat father so unreliable that he actually came up with the trick of finding eunuchs to buy people? Forget it, bear with it.
After all, Fat Dad paid five hundred taels of silver, which is a little more generous than when Qin Mugong spent five pieces of sheepskin to buy Baili Xi! It’s almost the same after inflation, but Lu Xiangsheng must not let Lu Xiangsheng know about it in the future.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to just resign and go home to my wife!
