Chapter 1 Complete the small goals of life at the age of 14
In the tenth year of Yongle, Jinling, outside the imperial palace.

"Phew, it's been five years, and I'm finally back."

Looking at the palace with golden walls and green tiles, Zhu Zhangui let out a sigh of emotion.

"Your Highness, you are still in the mood to feel emotional, you should think about it, how to explain it to His Majesty the Crown Prince later."

The person who spoke had a dark face and no beard, his body was full of muscles, his hands were full of calluses, and with the faint smell of the sea on his body, it was obvious that this person had been walking on the sea all year round.

"Explain what?"

Zhu Zhangui cast a sideways glance at Zheng He, who was dressed in a commander's robe.

"I was playing hide-and-seek at the beginning. I was taken away after hiding in your goods. I didn't run out with you secretly. You didn't find out. This is your responsibility."

Zheng He was speechless.

Who can play hide-and-seek in a box for half a year, do you believe it?

"Then be careful yourself. Last night, many people inquired about your affairs. It is estimated that there will be a lot of censors today. They want to refer to you."

Zhu Zhangui waved his hand indifferently.

"Let me be careful, I think you should be careful."

"I brought back so much money, but you only brought back some spices, ivory, and coral. The imperial court spent so much money for the ocean, and you brought these useless things back. Do you think the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, Natsuhara Gina Guy, I can forgive you."

Zheng He's face instantly became mournful.

Zhu Zhangui was right.

The imperial court spent so much money to build the fleet to themselves.But after going out for five or six years, he spent countless assets, and only brought back less than two or three million taels of silver.If the income is not worth the effort, those gangsters are definitely not willing.

Thinking about facing those big bosses later, Zheng He looked at Zhu Zhangui pitifully.

"Your Highness, why don't you give the minister a little?"

Zhu Zhangui stared, raised his foot and stepped aside, distanced himself from Zheng He.

"My surname is Zheng. With our friendship, it's fine for me to stand in your way, but it's not good to borrow money. It's all my hard-earned money. Without money, what do you want me to do to support my 365 maids?"

Zhu Zhangui, who traveled to this world ten years ago, became the second son of Renzong Zhu Gaochi and the twin brother of Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji.

In the fifth year of Yongle, Zheng He went to the West for the second time. Zhu Zhangui, who wanted to go out to earn money with his golden finger, asked to go out with Zheng He, but was rejected.

The daring Zhu Zhangui ran away from home and hid in Zheng He's caravan. He quietly followed Zheng He all the way to the west, and did not show his head until he left the sea area of ​​Ming Dynasty.

Then there was five years of drifting in the sea with Zheng He.

Zheng He originally planned to return to Yongle in six years, but Zhu Zhangui, who made a lot of money from selling goods, was fooled into squatting at sea for a few more years.

"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuan Yuanyang Treasure Fleet Commander Zheng He, see you!"

Just when the two were at the gate of the palace, one was borrowing money and the other was not, Zhu Di's personal eunuch, Little Snotty, came out.

"Little snot, didn't my grandpa call me?"

Hearing that Zhu Di only saw Zheng He, Zhu Zhangui stretched out his hand to grab the little snot that turned around.

"Your Highness, His Majesty said: This brat likes to drift outside, so don't come back."

Zhu Zhangui stared, "Then why didn't you say that just now?"

Little Snot said aggrieved: "Your Majesty said, if you don't ask, I won't let the slaves tell, and let you stand here."

Zhu Zhangui's face darkened, he turned and left.

If you don't see it, the old man will regret it.

"Hey, hey, Your Highness, don't go."

Seeing that Zhu Zhangui turned and left, Zheng He hurriedly stepped forward to hold Zhu Zhangui.

"Why don't you go? Stay here to enjoy the wind. I'm talking, I still have a lot of things to do. My gold and silver worth 365 million taels and my [-] maids have no place to settle down. The world is not right now. It's safe, if I don't fix it in advance, what should I do if some shameless old guys snatch me away?"

"Mother! One hundred million taels of silver."

The little snotty eyeballs almost flew out.

"Why are you still standing there! Why don't you hurry over and help."

Zhu Zhangui insisted on leaving, but Zheng He didn't dare to use force for fear of hurting Zhu Zhangui, so he hurriedly asked Xiaonai for help.

Just thinking about how much [-] million taels of gold and silver is, the little snotty ran forward in a daze.

Together with Zheng He, one hugged his legs and the other hugged his waist, and ran to the palace with Zhu Zhangui on his shoulders.

"Zheng, you're done. Our friendship is over. Next time you go to sea, see if anyone else will go with you."

"His Royal Highness, I am helpless. The capital is so dangerous now. Some time ago, the remnants of Jianwen assassinated His Majesty. I don't worry about you going back alone. Let's go into the palace and I will go back with you after the interview with Your Majesty. Safer that way."

"Okay, the surname Zheng is good at it. Now you don't blush when you tell lies. Just wait, we will never end this matter."

Along the way, the maids, guards, and eunuchs stared at the emperor's personal chief executive, and Eunuch Zheng He, whom they could only look up to, rushing into the palace with a struggling young man on their shoulders.

Although Zhu Zhangui was struggling hard, he actually had no intention of running.

Zhu Zhangui knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for him to eat all the gold and silver worth nearly [-] million taels.

If Zhu Zhangui dares to eat all of it, he can guarantee with his toes that there will definitely be a lot of masked robbers breaking into his house tonight and looting all his treasures.

What's even more amazing is that these robbers only robbed money without hurting their lives.

Then, in less than a quarter of an hour, the imperial court will solve a major case and seize countless stolen money. Since there is no reason for the owner, it will be confiscated.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhu Zhangui decided to go back at night and must make some preparations.

Little Snot and Zheng He carried Zhu Zhangui, ran all the way, and broke into Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Di, who was waiting, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were a little confused when they saw the battle in front of them.

what happened?Why did you bring it in?
"I'm at the place, why are you still carrying me? Why don't you put it down quickly?"

The somewhat unnatural Zhu Zhangui, who was stared at by everyone's strange eyes, kicked the little snot angrily.

"Oh, please slow down, Your Highness!"

"Humph!"

With his feet touching the ground, Zhu Zhangui tidied up his messy clothes, and gave Zheng He a vicious look.Angrily, he sat down and faced the door, ignoring Zhu Di and others who were glaring at him angrily.

"Didn't I tell you? Let him stay outside, why did you bring him in?"

Just when Manchao Wenwu was curiously thinking about what happened, Zhu Di's angry voice sounded from above.

Tired, sweating profusely and panting, still immersed in the [-] million taels of gold and silver with a small nose, he looked up at Zhu Di in a daze.

"Your Majesty, one hundred million taels."

Zhu Di frowned, glanced at Zhu Zhangui, who was pretending to be angry, and kept twisting his body to move away, staring at his little nose and asking, "What [-] million taels? Make it clear."

Little Snot turned around and pointed at Zhu Zhangui regardless of etiquette.

"His Royal Highness the Second Emperor said just now that he has... [-] million taels of gold and silver."

"boom!"

In an instant, the entire court exploded.

Zhu Di stared blankly at Zhu Zhangui, scratching his ears hard, unable to believe the numbers he just heard.

Standing below, Zhu Pangpang, who looked at his second son excitedly, could not stop trembling when he heard this number.

Zhu Zhanji, who was watching the second brother's joke, put his hands in his mouth in surprise, and tried to calculate how much [-] million taels was in his mind using the arithmetic he had learned.

No matter who he saw, he always looked like Xia Yuanji, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs who owed him 80 yuan, and was almost shocked by this figure.

"Sambo, what Little Snot just said is true."

Trying to suppress the shock in his heart, Zhu Di's voice trembled a little.

Zheng He, who was pulling Zhu Zhangui to prevent him from running away, nodded with a wry smile.

He had expected this expression from everyone. When he heard the number, he was so shocked that he didn't recover for a whole day.

"Yes, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Emperor has been with me for five years, doing business and selling items and other means, and earned a total of 8703 million taels of silver."

"Boom!"

Zheng He's affirmation was like a thunderstorm on a sunny day, and the little eunuchs and guards who went up to Zhu Di and down to their shifts stood there in shock, their faces full of bewilderment.

One hundred million taels, my God, how much is that!
