I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 21 Man Chaosuke is a prodigal.

It's still the same cliff, and there are still two people, but the person has changed.

On the cliff, Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, admiring the beauty of the sunset in the distance.

"How about it?"

The old monk standing beside Zhu Di recalled his conversation with Zhu Zhangui, his eyes were full of appreciation.

In the afternoon, he chatted with Zhu Zhangui a lot.

The form of the country, the attitude towards the outside world, the future development trend of Ming Dynasty, and the restoration of people's livelihood and power.

Zhu Zhangui gave almost all satisfactory answers to the questions he asked, and he was even amazed by some of his ideas.

"Having a conversation this afternoon has benefited me a lot. He is a very thoughtful person, a very decisive person, and also a crazy person."

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

He listened to the conversation between the two in the distant woods.

This is also the first time he heard Zhu Zhangui's inner thoughts.

"Your second grandson, I feel like a person."

Zhu Di turned around.

"Who?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and said a name.

"Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty!"

Hearing this name, Zhu Di turned black and pointed at the old monk, wanting to scold his mother, but felt that the other party was right, so he flicked his sleeves angrily, turned around and left.

Looking at Zhu Di who turned and left angrily, "You have to think carefully, choosing him is a big gamble. If you win the Ming Dynasty and eternal prosperity, but lose the Sui Dynasty, it is a lesson from the past."

Zhu Di, who was walking back angrily, suddenly stopped and turned to stare at the old monk.

"I don't like gambling!"

The old monk smiled.

"But you've been gambling your whole life."

Zhu Di was silent.

After a long time, he said: "I will take both of them with me this time on the Northern Expedition. I think I will have the answer on who to choose after this Northern Expedition."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking to the old monk and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of his old friend, the old monk Yao Guangxiao sighed.

"Old friend, old friend, do you know that the moment you hesitate, you have already started to choose to gamble."

the other side.

Zhu Zhangui, who walked out of Jiming Temple, looked back at the direction of the cliff.

He has said everything that needs to be said, and whether he can earn that position next depends on his next performance and the final choice of the old man.

"Your Highness, where are we going?"

The Emperor's Mansion has been occupied by the King of Han, and he will not be able to return for a while.

Zhu Zhangui didn't intend to stay in Jiming Temple, so the guard wanted to ask Zhu Zhangui whether he was going to the East Palace or the camp in the south of the city that hadn't been demolished yet.

"Go back to the East Palace!"

I sent a lot of people to the East Palace, but if I went to have a look, my old lady might lose her temper again.

East Palace.

"Come on, come out and say something if you have the ability."

Zhu Pangpang walked out of the door impatiently, pointed to the displeased Mrs. Zhang, and told him to come out and scold him only if he was not in the room.

"How about coming out?"

Mrs. Zhang, who was supported by Hu Shanxiang, came out angrily, not caring about the maids who were learning etiquette and the guards who were serving, and looked at Zhu Pangpang sneeringly.

"Come out and tell me what's wrong, there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys have become kings! I'm the one who wants the money."

Zhu Pangpang glanced around, pretending to reach out to stop him.

"Don't yell, it's disrespectful."

It's good that he didn't stop him, but the more he blocked Zhang, the angrier he became.

"Now I know it's not decent. When the old man robbed your son of money, he didn't care about it. When the second child kicked your son out, why didn't he care about it?"

"My son paid so much money, where did it go? Why do you want more money? Those who beg for food know how to find more customers. They are a family addicted to food."

Zhu Pangpang explained helplessly: "The 5000 million taels of silver have been sealed and put into the warehouse. This money is for dealing with unknown disasters in the future. It cannot be tampered with. This is the old man's decision. The rest of the money is partly subsidized for the injured people across the country. Soldiers and the families of the fallen soldiers, together with disaster relief and water conservancy practice in various places, plus the construction of the Forbidden City and the consumption of the Yongle Grand Ceremony, as well as supplements for Zheng He’s next voyage to the West, have already spent almost the same amount.”

"Ha ha."

Mrs. Zhang sneered when she heard this.

"We paid the money, and they gained a good reputation. In the end, the money was spent, and there was not enough money for the war. They still wanted us to take the money. The old man cheated his son, and the younger one cheated his father. They really treated our family as a fat sheep."

"Don't shout, don't shout!"

Zhu Pangpang was startled, and covered Zhang's mouth with his hand.

"Go up!"

Mrs. Zhang opened Zhu Pangpang's fat hand angrily, "No money, no penny."

"Look, you get angry when you mention money, and they don't let us take too much, just 10 taels of silver. Didn't the second child just give you 200 million taels two days ago? You can just share it out for me. .”

"Oh! One hundred thousand taels is not much. After all, you are the prince, and you are arrogant. One hundred thousand taels of silver is a small amount of money. Since you are so capable, then find a way to raise money yourself!"

Mrs. Zhang sneered, and said with a cold face:

"The money is for my son to marry a wife. If the money is taken away, what should I do if my son marries a wife? Let me tell you, the surname Zhu, that the money cannot be moved at all. If you dare to play with the money, your son will die." Go hit the bachelor! The two grandsons hit the bachelor, I think the old man's face is bright or not."

Zhu Pangpang looked helpless when his daughter-in-law refused to eat.

"I know the truth, but the problem is, the second and third children have already taken the money, if I don't pay a penny, they will sue the old man, what should I do if they put a big hat on me?"

Mrs. Zhang waved her hand and said, "If he wants to go, let him go! It's not that our family has never taken money, 8000 to [-] million taels of silver! Our family can't spend it all in a lifetime, but we asked them to give it to you in a few days." After the construction is finished, there is no money now, and if you still want to ask us for it, don’t even think about it.”

"I understand the truth, but the situation is different now, can you give me a break?"

As soon as Zhu Zhangui arrived in the yard, he heard the quarrel between the old couple, and quickly stood between the two to stop the quarrel.

"What's the matter? Okay, why are you arguing again?"

"Second brother, you came just in time."

Seeing that the second son came back, Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed and grabbed Zhu Zhangui.

"Second brother, let me tell you, your second uncle wants your father to take money from home again."

Now Zhu Zhangui was a little confused.

In the plot, Zhu Gaoxu asked Zhu Pangpang to raise money, and the reason was indeed that the court had no money.

But it's different now. After handing in so much money, it's impossible for Zhu Di Beizheng to collect this little money!

"Father, what's the situation? It's only been a few days. It's impossible for the court to spend all the money, right?"

Zhu Pangpang spread his hands helplessly, and explained to Zhu Zhangui: "I have the money, and I still have 5000 million taels. But it was sealed and stored by your grandfather, saying that it is to save some of the family property, in case of future needs."

"As for the rest of the money, it will be distributed among various places, spent in different places and spent in other places, and there are also issues of needing money left over from various places. During this period, all of them have been approved, so the remaining money is not much left. "

The corner of Zhu Zhangui's mouth twitched.

Sure enough, it's not my own money, so it doesn't feel bad to spend it. These guys have money, so it's really rude to spend it!
Excluding the 5000 million reserved, the remaining money is worth the financial taxes of Daming for two or three years.

As a result, it was finished in a few days by these gangsters, what a bunch of prodigal sons.

Zhu Zhangui sniffed, looked at his father and asked, "How much money is there in the household department?"

Zhu Pangpang stretched out two fingers.

Zhu Zhangui frowned, "Although 200 million taels is a little less, it's almost enough."

Zhu Pangpang rolled his eyes, "Son, you are thinking too much. With the speed at which the court spends money, how could there be 200 million left?"

Zhu Zhangui stared.

"It's not like there are only 20 taels left!"

Zhu Pangpang shook his head again.

"To be precise, there are only 2 taels left."

"puff!"

Zhu Zhangui almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Damn it, these prodigal sons have more than 2000 million taels of silver, and in less than half a month, only 2 taels are left.

What kind of talent is this to lose money so fast.

Zhu Pangpang was also helpless. Those guys in the imperial court thought that they had 5000 million taels as reserve silver, so they didn't keep their hands when they spent money.

All papers asking for money from various places will be approved, as long as the request is not too exaggerated and conforms to the facts.

It's completely a rich and self-willed look.

If he is in charge of the country, he can stop him.

It's a pity that since the old man came back, his supervisor has been dismissed.

The old man only cares about the approval, he doesn't even think about how much money is left, and finally waits for the second child to come on stage.

After doing the math, there are only 2 taels left.

What is this little money enough for, let alone the Northern Expedition, it is not enough to treat all the soldiers to a meal.

Zhu Gaoxu, king of the Han Dynasty, wanted to fish it out from Zhu Zhangui, but he couldn't find any money, so he had to come back to cheat Zhu Pangpang, the boss.
