Opening the system interface again, Bai Chu suddenly discovered that his number of incense had reached an astonishing level and was still growing.

Looking at the people coming and going, Bai Chu suddenly realized.

But during this period, it has increased a bit, and we still don’t know when it will be until 100 million.

Bai Chu shook his head. It seemed that Zhu Di was unlikely to extend Zhu Yuanzhang's life.

Zhu Gaochi saw Bai Chu shaking his head, thinking that Bai Chu was dissatisfied with the temple.

"Mr. Bai, with all due respect, the palace does not have much money."

"This time, the palace's internal treasury, including the land purchase and the money to provide relief to the victims, has almost been used up."

"For this reason, my father even sold all the valuable things in the family to barely earn so much money."

"My father said that when he has enough money in the future, he will build a magnificent temple for Mr. Bai."

Bai Chu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry.

However, Zhu Gaochi's "no money" is also something worthy of attention.

You can live without anything else, but you can’t live without money. Otherwise, let alone treason, even if you can't feed your own soldiers, how many people are willing to join you in treason?
  Prince Yan's Mansion.

Zhu Di caressed his sword fondly. This was his first expedition and he killed a Pingzhang man from Beiyuan and seized it from it. It can be regarded as a very commemorative weapon.

Whenever he recalls those glorious years, Zhu Di can't help but hold it in his hand. This sword has become a spiritual symbol for him.

But unfortunately, Zhu Di was ready to sell the sword.

At the same time, he also took out several of his favorite antique calligraphy and paintings.

Zhu Di, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and sold everything.

There is nothing that can be done about this. The economic situation in the palace is not as good as Zhu Gaochi said.

This year, a drought occurred in the north, and the income and expenditure of the prince's fiefdom would be greatly affected.

It was impossible for Zhu Di to watch the refugees pouring in from all directions and ignore them.

From this summer to autumn, the money in the palace was spent continuously like running water.

If it weren't for the prince's relief, I'm afraid everyone in Xicheng would starve to death.

At that time, all they can see will no longer be miserable refugees, but corpses on the ground.

However, even Zhu Di, who was extremely wealthy, could not feed so many refugees.

Princess Yan had to be cruel and cut off relief to the refugees in Xicheng.

However, Bai Chu intervened and insisted on rescue, so Zhu Di had to use his own savings to build houses, buy food and provide relief to the victims.

Zhu Di had no choice but to reluctantly sell his favorite things for the sake of daily life in the palace.

After all, the landlords are running out of food.

Seeing Zhu Di wiping his sword again and again, Princess Yan finally couldn't help it anymore and said:

"My lord, if you are unwilling to part with it, don't sell it."

"Why is the prince so confident in Bai Chu? He even sold his favorite things for Bai Chu?"

"Oh, let's sell them all."

There was a hint of unwillingness in Zhu Di's tone, but in the end, he made up his mind, raised his head, and said to Princess Yan:
  “Sometimes, you have to see it with your own eyes to believe it.”

"I have seen Mr. Bai's dragon-transforming technique, that's why I believe it so much."

"Mr. Bai said that doing business makes money, that must be true."

Seeing Zhu Di being so decisive, Xu Miaoyun didn't know what to say, and finally just sighed.     “I don’t even know what to do.”

Xu Miaoyun turned around, took out an exquisite wooden box from the house, and handed it to Zhu Di.

"In that case, it's time for me to help."

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Zhu Di was startled. When he saw the jewelry box held by Xu Miaoyun, he was startled and exclaimed.

"These are all the dowry things you brought from home, and they are all your favorite things in daily life. How can I sell them?"

"Absolutely not."

"Husband, please listen to me and you first."

Xu Miaoyun was very calm and said in a very organized manner:
  "Isn't it just a pawn? You can get it back again."

"When we make money, we can go to the pawn shop to redeem it."

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment and said in confusion:

"Don't you not believe what Mr. Bai said?"

Xu Miaoyun rolled her eyes at Zhu Di. As the saying goes, husband and wife are of the same mind, and Zhu Di's trust in Bai Chu is obvious to all.

Xu Miaoyun did not trust Bai Chu, but she still trusted Zhu Di. From the gold and silver jewelry Xu Miaoyun prepared for Zhu Di, it can be seen that she was going to share the joys and sorrows with him.

Zhu Di could feel Xu Miaoyun's emotions, and felt excited in his heart.

"Miaoyun, when I ascend the throne, you will be the queen."

"What kind of queen do I want to be? I don't care!"

Xu Miaoyun replied unhappily.

"Go and pack it quickly. Someone will pick it up soon."

Zhu Di glanced at the brocade box in Xu Miaoyun's hand and couldn't help it.

"Miaoyun, there's no need to sell yours."

"Just sell my own."

"No, we both want to sell it together!"

Xu Miaoyun disagreed, so the two quarreled.

"Keep your share and sell mine myself."

"We are a family, so of course we should advance and retreat together!"

Just when the two were quarreling, a voice suddenly came:
  "Father, mother and concubine, there is no need to sell your treasures!"

"Look, what is this!"

Inside the greenhouse.

Zhu Gaochi waved the thing in his hand with a proud look on his face.

As soon as Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun turned their attention to him.

At some point, a dark, strange thing as big as a palm appeared on Zhu Gaochi's hand.

It's weird because it looks weird, like a honeycomb.

Behind Zhu Gaochi, Bai Chu followed slowly.

"Gao Chi, what is this?"

Xu Miaoyun asked immediately.

"It's so dark, you're not afraid of getting your clothes dirty?"

Zhu Gaochi didn't take it seriously at all, with a proud look on his face and said cheerfully:
  "Mother, these are made of black gold. How can I be afraid that it will stain my clothes?"

"Xuanjin!!"

When Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun heard this, their eyes widened immediately.

He quickly came to Zhu Gaochi and looked at the thing carefully.
