Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 182 The court needs a talent like you

Zhu Youtang glanced at his son, nodded in satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "It's good that you know how to do it."

Qi You, who was standing on the side, was so excited that he was baffled. The prince stood up to speak, and he was so concerned about Yantiesi's affairs. Qi You couldn't help but think of a possibility, that is, who is behind Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning.Since he took refuge with Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, Qi You had a lot of contact with Marquis of Shouning, Zhang Heling.

There is also some understanding of the character of Shouning Hou Zhang Heling. Under such circumstances, Qi You naturally knew that Shouning Hou Zhang Heling could not make such an arrangement.

From the very beginning of planning and establishment, the Yangzhou incident, to the establishment of Yantie Division, and finally to the series of policies of Yantie Division, all these require long-term planning And the layout is definitely not something that Shouning Hou Zhang Heling can do.People outside are also guessing who is giving advice to Shou Ninghou.

People outside guessed again, and people like Qi You and Shen Lu naturally guessed too, but Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, was very tight-lipped and no news came out.

But today His Highness the Crown Prince stood up and said this, Qi You couldn't help but think of someone who is very capable of playing tricks, it could not be that His Highness the Crown Prince is planning behind it?
Of course, Qi You was excited. Although this meant that he had joined His Royal Highness and was valued by His Royal Highness, Qi You also knew that this could not be leaked, and the key was that he had no proof.What good does it do you to say it?It's no good, on the contrary, this is His Royal Highness expressing his closeness to him.

After so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Qi You understands what this kind of kindness means, how could he not be excited.

Zhu Houzhao took a look at Qi You, he was indeed sending a signal to Qi You, if he could comprehend it, then it would be the best, if he could not comprehend it, then this person is just like that.

Why should this signal be released?The reason is very simple, these things are now a fait accompli, no one can find out the truth behind it, and no one can stop or destroy this thing.On the other hand, Zhu Houzhao found that people like Qi You and Shen Lu wanted to form a party around Shouning Hou, and this was going to be a big deal.

If they really form a party, Shou Ninghou will be manipulated by them. Zhu Houzhao doesn't believe that his stupid uncle can beat these people.

Let them know that I am behind Shou Ninghou, in order to give them an expectation, work hard, the prince is watching you, the future is boundless.At the same time, it is also to let them understand that if you do something out of the ordinary, then you will be the ones who can accept you. His Highness the Crown Prince will not be powerless to you like Marquis Shou Ning, and your future will be ruined.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't worry, the Yantie Division is a matter of today's benefit, and I will definitely do my best and never dare to slack off in the slightest." Qi You naturally understood Zhu Houzhao's meaning, and said quickly.

Both Zhu Youtang and Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile. Obviously, Qi You is a courtier who can be used. Now Zhu Houzhao probably understands why his father believes that the courtiers he trusts will make a choice. Because he knows them, so Just be sure what they will do.In the words of the old man, if they don't do this, then they will be replaced. This is the emperor's way of employing people.

It's not impossible to use power tactics, but they can't be used frequently. The art of employing people to grasp people's hearts is much higher than power tactics.

"My lord, the auction outside is over, and the merchants are starting to leave." He Neng also came over at this time, and said with a smile on his face. He knew that his lord was very concerned about the auction outside. How much money was auctioned is all money. With this money, the emperor's life will be much easier.

"Go and ask how much money you took." Zhu Youtang didn't hide, he closed the folding fan directly, and said with a smile.

Soon the news spread that the five-year use rights of all the saltworks were auctioned for a total of 530 taels of silver.

After the news came, everyone was shocked, including Zhu Youtang, it was not too little, but too much.Zhu Youtang couldn't help turning his head to look at his son, his son really knows how to make money!A few days ago, the money that Marquis Shouning sent into the palace amounted to several 10 taels.

Now more than 500 million taels have been obtained, plus the silver confiscated in Yangzhou before and the silver taels obtained from the subsequent sale of the properties of those corrupt officials and profiteers, the income is nearly 1000 million taels.

Zhu Youtang really didn't know what to say in his heart, if he was already so rich, why would he be so frugal, the lights in the palace can only be lit by [-]% at night.

This Zhu Houzhao can understand Dad. When you have 1 yuan, you think it’s not a big problem to spend 1. When you have 10, you think it’s okay to spend [-]. [-] yuan is nothing.Now Zhu Youtang is in this state, I am so rich, spending a few [-] taels to renovate the palace, isn't it too much?

Zhu Houzhao has only one sentence for his father's thoughts, that is, "You have the final say if you have money."

"Okay, let's go back to the palace!" Zhu Youtang stood up contentedly, then turned and walked outside: "By the way, when will the money be delivered?" Now Zhu Youtang has already started thinking about the money, There is no way, the court is really short of money, if it is not because of the lack of money, Zhu Youtang will not live a life of frugality.

"Return to Your Majesty, only [-]% of the money will be paid this time, and the remaining five years will be paid off year by year." Qi You said a little embarrassedly on the side.

Zhu Houzhao was deeply moved by asking the salt merchants to pay off so much money at one time, which would affect the overall price of the auction and the power of borrowing for consumption.

After hearing Qi You's words, Zhu Youtang was stunned for a moment, a little disappointed, but thinking that now he could have an extra 200 million taels, and there would be nearly 100 million taels a year in the future, Zhu Youtang's mood improved again.If you pay in installments, you can pay in installments. Anyway, it's all your own money, and he can't escape it, as long as you can get it.

After seeing off Zhu Youtang, Zhu Hou took care of Qi You and said with a smile: "You did a good job, work hard, the imperial court needs talents like you."

Hearing this, Qi You's whole body felt healed. Feeling refreshed, he quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will devote myself to Daming, His Majesty, and Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing that Qi You bit His Royal Highness hard, Zhu Houzhao smiled, turned around and walked out without comment.For Zhu Houzhao, he doesn't need to worry about the instability of his reserve position at all, and he doesn't need to cultivate his own power. This generation of Ming princes is so confident.
