My father Yong Le Emperor, you let me keep a low profile

Chapter 29 Empress Xu's Worries!

"That...hehe..."

Zhu Gaoyu laughed twice, and said: "The old man said, just earn 600 million taels."

"So I gave him 600 million taels of goods, and the remaining gold and silver worth more than 230 million taels. The soldiers did something for me. I gave them 20 taels as a reward, and I kept the rest for myself."

Empress Xu and the others: "..."

After a long time, the three of them came back to their senses. Empress Xu looked at Zhu Gaoyu who was laughing dryly, she pointed her finger and wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth for a long time, but she didn't know how to say it.

Who does this kid look like?

Empress Xu fell into deep thought.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I found that there seems to be no such cheating person in the old Xu family and the old Zhu family.

"You, let me say how you are."

Reluctantly nodding Zhu Gaoyu, Empress Xu pondered and said, "Actually, it's not illegal for you to do so."

"At the beginning, you and your father agreed that it was 600 million taels. Now, after deducting the cost, you have brought back 600 million taels of income for your father. Your father has actually earned it."

Zhu Gaoyu nodded repeatedly.

It was because of this agreement that Zhu Gaoyu boldly withheld the 200 million taels in his fiefdom.

"That...Actually...my dad doesn't count as earning money, at most it's a small earning."

Empress Xu, who was thinking about whether to persuade her husband to accept it as soon as she found it, or to ask her son to pay more, looked at Zhu Gaoyu curiously.

"How's that?"

Zhu Gaoyu smiled calmly, and said slowly to Empress Xu: "Things are rare and precious!"

Empress Xu suddenly realized.

My husband doesn't seem to earn much.

The current price of pepper in Daming is about ten taels of silver per catty, and there is still a price but no market.

Now that there is large-scale pepper input, the price will naturally come down.

The imperial court is in urgent need of money. In order to have funds and solve the current problems of the imperial court, it must invest pepper in the private sector without restriction.

In this way, the price of pepper will definitely drop again and again, or even cut in half, or more than half.

The report given by Zhu Gaoyu is based on the current price.

But if the pepper, as she thought just now, was put into the folks on a large scale, the income from this batch of goods would definitely be greatly reduced.

Don't doubt whether the court will do this.

Regardless of the depreciation, the shameless thing of printing precious banknotes can be done, and selling some pepper is really nothing.

After thinking about this, looking at Zhu Gaoyu who was grinning lightly, Empress Xu became furious.

He reached out and grabbed Zhu Gaoyu's ear, and taught him a lesson.

"You bastard, the calculations are all on your father's head."

"Don't say your father is angry, you are even a little angry for your mother."

"Do you know how tight the court's finances are now?"

"The imperial court owes money for dredging the canals. When natural disasters occurred in several places, the people sold their wives and daughters, and changed their sons to eat."

"The imperial court was counting on you and eunuch Zheng to come back to relieve these tensions, but you did such a thing again."

"If it weren't for seeing that you haven't gotten into trouble yet, not only will your father beat you up, but I'll also teach you a lesson."

Although she dotes on her son, Empress Xu can still tell the difference between right and wrong, otherwise she wouldn't be called a good queen.

In the past two days, my husband has been suffering from headaches for several disaster-stricken places, and has not slept for several nights.

Empress Xu was worried and distressed.

Now that the fleet is finally coming back, this bastard has done this again, which is really worrying.

Zhu Gaoyu snorted twice and said, "Mother, I deserve it."

Without achieving his goal, Zhu Gaoyu naturally wouldn't let go of the money easily.

Hearing this, Empress Xu froze for a moment, and looked at Zhu Gaoyu in silence.

She looked at Zhu Gaoyu's slightly dodgy eyes, and seemed to understand something.

Zhu Gaoyu's purpose should not be to be greedy for the money.

Instead, he was afraid that the old man would go back on what he promised, so he used the money as a bargaining chip to obtain the right to form the Daming Ocean Navy.

After trying to understand her son's careful thinking, Empress Xu felt a little pain in her heart, looked at Zhu Gaoyu, and said seriously: "Sier, your grandfather has set the rules, and mother and son don't want any conflicts between your brothers. It's best to live your life in peace."

Empress Xu really didn't want her family to fight to the death and kill each other for this position.

This is the difference between Empress Xu and the old man.

The old man looked down on Zhu Pangpang, thinking that he was too weak, unlike his second brother Zhu Gaoxu who was good at fighting and defending the world.

Just because of his liking for Zhu Gaoxu, the old man not only ignored Zhu Gaoxu's many times of tricking Zhu Pangpang, but even secretly acquiesced in Zhu Gaoxu's some presumptuous actions.

However, Empress Xu was different.

Familiar with history books and experienced it personally, she was very saddened by the fact that the royal family had to kill each other for the throne.

In addition, since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Central Plains has experienced years of wars, and the people have long been exhausted.

What the people of Ming Dynasty need most now is a ruler who can let them recuperate and recuperate, not an Emperor Wu who expands the territory.

A few years ago in the battle of Jingnan, Empress Xu saw how much the people of Ming Dynasty suffered.

She doesn't want this kind of thing that caused the people of the world to suffer because of the royal civil strife.

Therefore, she would rather let the other sons suffer a little, but also ensure the smooth transition of the imperial power of Ming Dynasty.

Every time the second child and the third child had some bad thoughts, Empress Xu would call them over and speak out without any cover-up.

The two were born by her, the flesh that fell from her body.

If even her biological mother doesn't care about this matter, then who else in this world dares to care about this matter.

In the past few years, the second child and the third child, under her persuasion time and time again, although they occasionally made some small moves, they no longer dare to show it on the surface.

But she didn't expect that the youngest fourth child, who had just educated her second and third child, would start thinking about it again.

Every mother hopes that her child will become a dragon and a phoenix.

However, at this moment, Empress Xu thought, it would be nice if her son was mediocre.

What his mother said bluntly made Zhu Gaoyu sigh in his heart.

This is the disadvantage of Empress Xu being alive, and why he temporarily abandoned the mainland of Daming and chose to travel thousands of miles to find it. Only the outer circle can be cultivated and lived in, and the interior is all arid and deserted.

The rules established by the old Zhu, the full support of Empress Xu and the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult to win the throne from the boss.

Even worse.

He is still the fourth child.

This embarrassing position is really not an ordinary embarrassment.

Who made his father the fourth child and successfully rebelled.

If he became the emperor again, then when the princes of Ming Dynasty competed for the position of the crown prince, they would definitely target the fourth prince immediately.

why?Because there are two precedents.

Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what.

So just in case, kill the fourth child first, and then the boss, it's safer.

Thinking of how difficult it was for him to compete for that position, Zhu Gaoyu sighed in his heart.

Sometimes Zhu Gaoyu is thinking, why not time travel to become Zhu Pangpang's son, preferably Zhu Zhanji, then there will be no pressure at all.
