a month later
Zhu Xiongying sat in Fengtian Hall to review the memorial.
Zhu Yuanzhang strode in with anger on his face.
Lao Zhu sat aside angrily,
Zhu Xiongying looked over,
asked softly,
"Grandpa, who made you so angry?
The grandson will go find him later! Take it out for grandpa! "
Zhu Yuanzhang's anger is still lingering.
airway,
"Who else could it be?! It's that Xia Yuanji!"
"Forehead."
Zhu Xiongying was stunned. Ever since Xia Yuanji became the Minister of Household Affairs, his grandfather had to be pissed off by Xia Yuanji every three days.
Not because of anything else.
It's because Mrs. Xia Yuanji picked it! ! !
Zhu Yuanzhang cursed as he spoke,
"Damn it! We have never seen such a naughty person!
Now if we want to use the money from the Ming Dynasty’s treasury, we can’t get it out!
We still have to go find Xia Yuanji and give him a good word!
Grandson, do you know what Xia Yuanji said in reply to us? "
Zhu Xiongying shook his head in cooperation.
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his legs, stood up and said angrily,
"He told us!
If we want to use money, we can use the royal family’s money! This treasury money is the court’s money!
What does this mean? !
Isn’t all the money in Ming Dynasty our money? ! What is the difference between the royal family and the imperial court? ! "
When Zhu Xiongying heard this, his expression was serious.
It's time to get up and leave the palace.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw his eldest grandson like this, he quickly stopped him and said,
"Eldest grandson, why are you going?"
Zhu Xiongying frowned and said angrily,
"Xia Yuanji has gone too far!
If grandpa hadn't promoted him! He still doesn’t know where he is going to take the imperial examination!
Grandpa wants to use some money, but he talks so much!
Do you really think Daming belongs to his family? !
Grandpa was kind and let him go, but his grandson couldn't bear it!
The grandson will go to the household department of the outer palace and depose him as the minister of household department!
Let him go back and forth from wherever he comes! "
As soon as he saw Zhu Xiongying so real, Lao Zhu quickly came over and grabbed his eldest grandson.
He actually burst into laughter,
"Hahaha, my eldest grandson is actually not that serious.
We are just complaining and complaining, but Xia Yuanji sounds really good!
There are no other shortcomings except picking!
Let’s look at the account books of the household department. It has never been so smooth!
Just keep him! "
Zhu Xiongying secretly laughed in his heart, he knew Lao Zhu too well,
If he had just begged Xia Yuanji for mercy, Lao Zhu couldn't be angry with his eldest grandson when he saw his eldest grandson's elbow turned outward.
Maybe I would turn my anger on Xia Yuanji.
But after Zhu Xiongying did this, Lao Zhu calmed down and figured it out on his own.
It’s a good thing that Xia Yuanji manages the household department like this!
Even if the emperor cannot transfer the money without a suitable reason, can others transfer it?
Lao Zhu is really relieved to have this iron cock guarding the household department!
Moreover, Xia Yuanji never formed any clique for personal gain, he just settled accounts and settled accounts all day long.
Not only the current ones, but also the account books of previous years have been rechecked.
The officials were so frightened that they were trembling.
Fortunately, no major problems were found. After all, the treasury was too poor, and the taxes collected had to be spent immediately, so there was no time to operate.
Zhu Xiongying frowned and said,
"Grandpa, still keep him?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled flatteringly,
Pulling Zhu Xiongying over, he slapped his eldest grandson on the back and squeezed his arms.
"Keep it, hehe, keep it."
Instead, Lao Zhu fell in love with Xia Yuanji. It must be said that the transition between offense and defense was too fast.
Zhu Xiongying snorted coldly,
“Since grandpa keeps him, let’s keep him.
But there has to be a small punishment, and the grandson will go talk to him later.
When the emperor reaches out for money, how dare he refuse? So bold! "
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly explained,
"We can also understand him. People who have rich families should be more restrained.
Xia Yuanji did a good job, but when we thought about it, we did something wrong. "
"No! My grandson will go find him now!"
Zhu Yuanzhang could not stop Zhu Xiongying, so Zhu Xiongying rushed out of Fengtian Hall angrily.
...........
"Xia Yuanji, you did a good job this time.
You have to take control of the money in this household department.
do you know?
Even if grandpa comes, he can’t give it! "
Xia Yuanji stood respectfully in front of Zhu Xiongying,
smiled and said,
“Your Highness, don’t worry.
As long as I'm here, the household department can only go in and out! "
Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying shook his hand as he picked up the tea cup.
said,
"Well, it's okay to go out occasionally."
At a young age, Xia Yuanji is even more stingy than the old accountant.
I saw his eyes glaring,
said anxiously,
“That’s not okay!
Your Highness, you have already said that we will have to fight a naval battle in the future!
I don’t know how much money it will cost. How can I spend it if I don’t divide it into several parts? !
If an opening is made now, all the money in the treasury will be gone before you know it! "
Zhu Xiongying, please open your mouth. I don’t know what to say.
I can only nod in agreement.
Good guy, is this Xia Yuanji? !
After Zhu Di became emperor, he had no money in his hands.
But he is different from Lao Zhu. Lao Zhu has no money in his hands because the treasury has no money.
Zhu Di had money in the treasury, but Xia Yuanji wouldn't let him spend it.
Zhu Di is in charge of this, so I don’t dare to spend more money.
But it was Xia Yuanji who prevented Zhu Di, who fought frequently, from bringing down the country's government.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched an attack and directly destroyed the finances of the Han Dynasty. In the end, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had to issue an imperial edict to punish himself.
And Emperor Yongle fought for many years, but not only did he not bring down the Ming Dynasty,
Xia Yuanji also saved a fortune.
It really allowed this high-ranking member of the household department to carve out a prosperous age!
Zhu Xiongying looked at Xia Yuanji gratefully,
The root of all problems in Ming Dynasty is poverty.
After having Xia Yuanji, Zhu Xiongying obviously felt much less pressure.
It is unimaginable that Xia Yuanji faced countless offers of money all day long, but how could he refuse them all.
"Thank you very much."
Xia Yuanji was moved when he heard this.
He shook his head and said,
"The only way I can repay His Highness' kindness is with death.
I don’t have much ability, but I will definitely help His Highness save this treasury!
Five years!
It only takes five years!
Your Highness, even if you want to conquer the whole sea, I will supply all the military supplies! "
To manage a country's finances, Xia Yuanji uses only one trick.
Dig!
But this is also the most effective trick, and it cannot be done by anyone who wants to do it.
This is the Hongwu Dynasty, and they are all the first generation to start a business, and everyone is a winner!
Don’t talk about others, just talk about those martial artists who can eat people without spitting out their bones.
Xia Yuanji was only seventeen years old, but he stood up to these monsters and shook his head firmly.
It’s unimaginable how courageous this is!
Zhu Xiongying stood up,
asked with a smile,
"Have you got a meal yet?"
Xia Yuanji pushed aside the messy papers on the desk and took out a large pot helmet that was so hard that it could block arrows.
"Your Highness, I was about to eat."
"You're going to eat this?"
Xia Yuanji nodded,
Then he laughed and said,
"It's nothing. You can swallow it with hot water."
Zhu Xiongying felt a sore nose and pulled Xia Yuanji up.
"Come on, let's take you something good to eat!"
Xia Yuanji was hesitant. He was at the age to enjoy life. He lived like an old monk every day.
He also wants to eat well, but he is afraid that he will be greedy after eating, which is not a good thing.
Zhu Xiongying forced Xia Yuanji to go out.
Feigning anger,
“I have to improve the food occasionally!
Walk! Go to Changfu to eat!
It’s all made by my own family, no money required! "
