Daming heir

Chapter 83 Natsuhara Yoshitobe

"Uncle 23, I will be punished by grandpa..."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the little 23rd uncle Zhu Gong who stretched out his hands in front of him, wanting to hug him, with endless helplessness written on his face.

It has been several days since the ice jade jelly went on sale, and everything has been going on within Zhu Yunxi's plan in the past few days.

Due to the restricted sale of ice jade jelly in the city, heated discussions and panic buying arose for several days.

Even when the selling price was as high as three taels of silver a share, those rich people who held countless wealth but had no place to spend it still snapped up like splashing water.

What's more, Zhu Yunxi vaguely heard that the Ming Dynasty also had the rise of such hated professions as scalpers.

These scalpers from the Ming Dynasty, self-taught, guarded outside Chang's shop, for no other reason than a group of people brought money to snap up ice jade jelly.

When I look back, I will double the price and sell it to those who did not snap up it.

I heard that if Ying Tianfu's guards hadn't arrived in time, once the scalpers almost fought with those who didn't get the ice jade jelly.

Zhu Yunxi could only smile slightly at this, noncommittal.

This is a natural business behavior, he can't control it, and he can't control it for the time being.

He even hoped that these scalpers could be stronger, so that the heat of Bingyu Jelly could last until the end of this summer.

And these days, the profit from selling iced food in several Chang's shops has also come out.

For Zhu Yunxi, the cost is almost negligible.

When an old man opened his mouth at the beginning, with a wave of Sun Gou'er's big hand, the ingredients for the iced food were left to Zhu Yunxie to use.

How could he let go of such an empty-handed white wolf.

Although they are all their own money, the money in the palace and the money in their own pockets are two different concepts.

Calculated over the past few days, the profit is actually several thousand taels of silver!

Today he came to the Ministry of Households to pay taxes.

It's just that he walked to the palace gate with his front foot, and the little 23rd uncle Zhu Gong on his back foot didn't know where he got the news, but he got Concubine Li Xian's permission to let him go out of the palace with him.

Looking at the little 23rd Uncle who stood in front of him with his hands open, intending to hug him, Zhu Yunxi was extremely helpless.

Little 23 Zhu Wei was not forgiving, and frowned, "Yunxi won't be punished by the father. After all, the father likes... Yunxi the most, and me second."

Shouting, Zhu Gong's open arms shook again, signaling again.

Zhu Yunxi smiled wryly and was about to ask for help.

However, he didn't expect that Sun Cheng and his subordinates, when they saw Zhu Yunxi's eyes turning, had already silently stepped back several steps.

A pack of white-eyed wolves!

Zhu Yunxi cursed in his heart, he could only squat down and stare at Zhu Wei: "Uncle 23, do you know where I'm going today?"

Little Zhu Qiang nodded seriously, his fleshy face trembled for a while, only to hear him urging: "I'm going to the household department to find those stingy old men."

"..."

How does this kid even know about this?

Zhu Yunxi looked back at Sun Cheng who was looking up at the sky, snorted coldly, then turned to look at Zhu Tong with a smile on his face: "Does Uncle 23 know what the household department does?"

Zhu Tong still nodded and said, "It's a place where a lot of money is placed."

Zhu Yunxi was very satisfied and said: "Yes! There is a lot of silver there. If Uncle 23 goes there, he will be sold and exchanged for silver!"

He thought that Zhu Gong would be scared when he heard that he was about to be sold.

However, he was doomed to be disappointed.

Hearing that he was about to be sold, Zhu Qiang's face was full of anticipation, his big black eyes kept blinking, and he shouted: "Sell me for money soon! Then I ran out secretly, You send me to sell again. In this way... we can have a lot of silver that we can't use up!"

"Uncle 23..." Looking at Zhu Tong's innocent expression, Zhu Yunxi felt a sense of frustration for the first time: "Okay, I'll take you to the household department, and I'll sell it to you later!"

Zhu Gong seemed to have no idea what it meant to be sold.

It turned out to be shaking the arm that had been open a few times again.

Zhu Yunxi smiled wryly, and could only reach out and hug him in his arms.

This child has gained weight recently, and his body has become heavier.

Under the big sun above his head, Zhu Yunxi could only let out a long sigh, and could only take this as an early experience of raising a child.

Then he walked ahead with Zhu Gong in his arms.

Sun Cheng led people to follow behind, and behind him carried a wooden box in groups of two.

There are a total of seven boxes.

The boxes are very heavy, if these people are not from the pro-military Habayashi guards, ordinary people probably wouldn't be able to lift them.

Walk along the thousand-step corridor and corridor that you can only see in Chengtianmen and Hongwumen.

When everyone left Hongwu Gate, it was the location of the yamen of various ministries in the imperial city.

Five of the six are on the east side of Hongwu Gate.

Only the Ministry of Punishment is outside the North City, and it is located on the southeast side of Xuanwu Lake together with Dali Temple and Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The location of Hubu is easy to find.

Counting from Hongwumen, going north, the first home is the Ministry of Industry, followed by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, and then the Ministry of Households.

In the north of Hubu, there are also the Ministry of Rites and the Clan Mansion.

Standing at the door of the household department, a group like Zhu Yunxi naturally attracted the attention of the guards in front of the door.

Dongcheng is either the imperial city or the Yamen, and ordinary people cannot come here.

The guards saw that Sun Cheng and the others were all wearing military robes, so they thought they were the sons of some noble family.

At that moment, an officer came up and down the steps: "What do you want to do when you come to the household department?"

While talking, he silently glanced at the seven boxes.

After working in the household department for so many years, he could tell at a glance that these boxes were full of silver.

The number is estimated to be nearly a thousand taels.

Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, but Zhu Wei, who was curled up in his arms, turned his head to look at the guard: "He is Zhu Yunxi, King of Huaiyou County!"

Prince Huaiyou!

The guard's legs gave way and he almost fell down.

No matter what, he never thought that it was this grand master who came here, so the officer hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I don't know Taishan with my eyes, please forgive me, Your Highness."

At this time, he also realized that the child in Zhu Yunxi's arms was probably a prince in the palace who had never grown up.

Zhu Yunxi smacked Zhu Qiang's head with his forehead, and then said humbly: "I have something to do at the Ministry of Household Affairs, take me to the office of the Cleaning Department."

He has to pay taxes, and tax collection is the responsibility of the Ministry of Household Cleaning Department.

The officer was puzzled and said, "Your Highness is going to clean up the officials?"

This is the Prince of Huaiyou County, and if he came to the Ministry of Households to look for him, he should be looking for Shangshu.

Zhu Yunxi was not angry either, and said calmly: "Going to the Ministry of Officials, of course you have to pay taxes in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, the guard was even more surprised.

Just thinking about the behavior of such a nobleman is not something that a guy like him can understand, and I feel relieved, and I am about to take Zhu Yunxi to clean up the official department.

From the household department yamen came a slightly joyful voice.

"Who is going to pay the taxes? Xia Yuanji, head of the Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is the one who handles this!"
