Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 11 Here, there are mines

Zhu Ji knew that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe he could come up with any solution.

But now is not the time to be angry.

Being able to see the care for the common people from Zhu Yuanzhang, a Huaixi nobleman, Zhu Ji felt that he could properly express some advanced ideas.

"Old Ma, I want to ask first. Does the imperial court want money or food?"

"What's the difference?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was really confused.Although he is also aware of the difference between the two, it is clear that in today's world, money and grain are basically equated.One tael of silver, four stones of rice, is it different for the court?

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang as if looking at a fool, and Zhu Ji rubbed his nose:

"If it's food, then I can't help it. But if it's money, I have some solutions."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened when he heard the words, but Zhu Ji didn't see it, and his hands were trembling slightly.

This is the first person who has told him in such a confident tone that he can solve the money and food problem in recent days.If it weren't for the fact that he still had a bit of reserve in his heart as an emperor and his own father, he would have stood up and dragged Zhu Ji to talk by now.

"Quick, tell me quickly."

Zhu Yuanzhang urged excitedly, but saw Zhu Ji staring at the tea bowl on the table, as if he was signaling something.

The excited expression fell instantly, and Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Ji was signaling to pour him tea.

You bastards have always been served by others, and no one has asked us to serve you before.There were all kinds of anger in my heart, but the temptation of money and food was in front of me, so Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, had to submit obediently.

However, in his heart, he made a good memory of Zhu Ji.

After a while in the ancestral hall, he kept hitting a horsewhip, and his Master Guorui expressed that he was upset.

Filling Zhu Ji with tea with a gloomy face, Zhu Yuanzhang urged again angrily: "It's time to talk."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help being happy in Zhu Ji's heart like this.

You must know that what he is about to say is worth at least five years or even more of Daming's taxes. A simple cup of tea is enough to repay this favor, and Lao Ma will definitely make a lot of money.

"In Raozhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, look for a hill called Wannianfeng. Since then, there is a silver mine about 23 miles northeast. It is still in Jiangxi Province. It is next to the Chihu Lake where the emperor and Chen Youliang fought many times. There are copper mines in a place like Wushan.”

"The combined output of these two mines is worth at least a quarter or more of Daming's taxes. Although the far water cannot quench the near thirst, it is also water."

Zhu Ji knew these two places because when he visited the Geological Museum of the province, he was attracted by the volunteer guide lady with unique temperament and handsome appearance, so he listened carefully to a few words.

Relatively speaking, these two mines are not too difficult to collect, and it is obviously no problem to obtain a certain amount of finished products in a short period of time.

While Zhu Ji was still reminiscing about the young lady who was wearing elegant lipstick, Zhu Yuanzhang was being tortured by complex emotions such as surprise, shock, and hesitation.

He really believed now that someone was sent from heaven.

Because the information obtained by Yiluansi for him can be completely confirmed, Zhu Ji is really innocent, and he has never been dumped in the process of growing up, and he has never been given any secrets by strange people.

But precious mineral deposits such as silver ore and copper mine are generally buried deep under the ground.

If non-professional miners survey all the year round, it is difficult to find it easily.

But Zhu Ji said it so easily now, it was hard for Zhu Yuanzhang not to think of the innately sacred words that Liu Bowen said to him that day.

Complicated emotions rolled in my heart countless times, and in the end Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help feeling rejoiced.

Fortunately, the annoying bastard next to him is really his son.

If it was someone else, Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to let the people of Yiluan Division take an unknown action on a dark and stormy night.

It seemed that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even say a word of exclamation or question for such a long time, so Zhu Ji took a sip of tea boredly:
"I know you don't believe that such an important thing comes from a poor and white kid like me, but don't worry, silver mines may have to be dug down, but copper mines can really be mined in the open pit, you Send someone over there to verify it.”

Little did they know, it was his confident appearance that made the emperor sitting beside him speechless for a moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly came back to his senses.

At this time, he looked at Zhu Ji not only with the peacefulness of a loving father, but also with the tension and affection of seeing a rare treasure.

A hearty voice suddenly sounded, changing the tiredness before.

Zhu Yuanzhang almost slapped Zhu Ji on the shoulder twice, and then yelled that I'm so big.

"I will send people to Jiujiang Mansion to investigate later. If what you said is true, we will definitely not covet this credit. His Majesty will definitely reward you with a big reward. In our opinion, your fertile land and courtyard are beautiful. Jiaoniang doesn't need us to give it to you."

Turning a corner and letting Zhu Ji appear in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that it would be difficult for Zhu Ji to detect his intentions under such circumstances.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words came out, Zhu Ji's face changed drastically again.

"Old horse, you want my life, I will let you forget it now, there is no need for you to borrow the emperor's knife to kill me."

At this time, Zhu Ji's face was both nervous and serious, which made Zhu Yuanzhang both funny and angry.

Although Zhu Ji had explained to him many times, he really couldn't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang was such a bloodthirsty person in Zhu Ji's heart.

Although he has indeed killed many officials over the years, those people either oppressed the people or manipulated power, and everyone deserved to be killed.Someone like Zhu Ji who is cautious and completely devoid of greed should be difficult to fall into his hands.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to say that we are the emperor, not a butcher.

However, it is expected that Zhu Ji will not listen to it, and even after knowing that he is the emperor, he may be scared to pee his pants on the spot.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to play like this because of his bad taste in his heart, he knew better that once Zhu Ji knew that he was the emperor, he probably had the possibility to escape without breathing as long as he left this courtyard.

If it really becomes like that, then it will be really difficult for father and son to recognize each other.

With a long sigh, Zhu Yuanzhang finally put away the extra plans in his heart:

"Forget it, since you don't want to make such a move, let's use it as a shield for you. I've won the merit. If there is anything wrong with your Majesty, we won't take a single point and give it all to you."

"Now, it's all over."

Hearing this, Zhu Ji's pale face suddenly turned better, and the expression of death-defying expression also subsided in an instant, and replaced it with a wide-eyed smile.

This villain-like attitude ignited the anger that had just been extinguished in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart again.

"Okay, I'll be angry just seeing you like this. If you were my son..."

"Then you really want to burn incense."

"Get out, get out, don't let me see you again."

Now Zhu Yuanzhang felt that if he was provoked by this bastard again, he would really hit people with the tea bowl on the table.
