Princess Ningguo is very smart.
And her intelligence is not just the cleverness of ordinary women.
After all, she was the eldest daughter of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. Princess Ningguo witnessed the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty with her own eyes, so she gained an extra level of political wisdom under a subtle influence.
The principles of the world are always the same.
The emperor is also a human being, and being a human being cannot be separated from the word "money".
It is a bit ironic to say that the mighty Emperor of Heaven, the most powerful person in the world, is actually short of money?
If the common people heard such remarks, they would probably find it incredible.
But the truth is this, the emperor is not only short of money, but all emperors have been short of money!
Ordinary people don't know these secrets. Doesn't Princess Ningguo, the eldest daughter of Taizu, still know?
Emperor Hongwu conducted a total of thirteen Northern Expeditions in his life, and finally eliminated the main force of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and created a peaceful and prosperous era for future generations.
However, these thirteen Northern Expeditions also depleted the Ming Dynasty's treasury. By the time Emperor Jianwen took over, the treasury was already empty.
Emperor Jianwen was also a master who was unwilling to be lonely. As soon as he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he immediately began to cut down the feudal vassals, forcibly carving out a Yan king Zhu Di, and forcibly took away Zhu Yunwen's Ming Dynasty.
A battle of peace once again dealt a heavy blow to the national power of the Ming Dynasty!
You must know that in order to wipe out the Yan army, Emperor Jianwen mobilized six or seven hundred thousand imperial troops one after another, and the money and food consumed was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
Now, King Yan Zhu Di won, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, changed the dynasty, and established the Yongle court.
But the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Di took over was undoubtedly a mess!
The treasury was empty, taxes had been paid, and Emperor Jianwen barely left him a penny of food.
But the situation Zhu Di is facing right now is exactly the time when he needs to spend a lot of money to appease people!
Those who were the heroes of Jingnan, they followed you to the death to conquer the country. Now that the country has been defeated, you, Zhu Di, have also sat on the throne, so you have to let your brothers drink the soup too, right?
Therefore, those who contributed to the disaster must be rewarded heavily and spend money!
Those soldiers who died in the battle with Zhu Di to conquer the world. In order to help you Zhu Di conquer the world, and to let you Zhu Di sit on that dragon chair, they even lost their lives and property, so you can't watch, right?
Therefore, the fallen soldiers must be compensated and money must be spent!
There are also the people in the north who were tortured by the war during the Jingnan Campaign. Most of them became refugees and hungry people. The entire northern Xinjiang region was also beaten into a puddle of mud. Now that you, Zhu Di, are sitting on the dragon throne, you have to find a way to deal with it. After the war, the problem is to resettle these people in northern Xinjiang, right?
Therefore, if you want to resettle the homeless and hungry people, you still have to spend money!
besides……
All in all, Emperor Yongle had to spend too much money, and they all needed to be solved urgently!
Unfortunately, there really isn't much food in the imperial treasury.
One can imagine how short of money that Emperor Yongle would be!
In other words, although Li Hongbi's strategy is bold, it is feasible!
And once it succeeds, the Mei family and the Li family can feel completely at ease and no longer have to worry about being liquidated by Emperor Yongle!
This is an opportunity!
It is also a way of life for Mei Yin!
Princess Ning Guo quickly clarified the pros and cons of this, and immediately signed a cooperation contract with Li Hongbi.
When Mei Yin saw this, he couldn't help complaining: "Look at this kid, he came to the door with a contract, it seems that he has a premeditated plan!"
To be honest, maybe it's because Li Hongbi plotted against Mei Yin last time in Huai'an, or maybe because Li Hongbi is about to marry his precious daughter, so Mei Yin has always disliked him, and he likes to sow discord out of the blue. tell tales.
Well, just like a girl, she likes to turn a blind eye.
It's just a pity that a smart person like Princess Ning Guo would not be provoked by him.
On the contrary, as soon as he said these words, Princess Ning Guo reached out and pinched his waist again, causing Mei Yin to grimace in pain.
"What do you know, you stupid idiot?"
"Hongbi, this kid has just said that we are one family and don't speak the same language!"
"Then why did he sign this contract? It's like..." Mei Yin sneered and taunted. Severe pain came from his waist again, scaring him to beg for mercy again and again.
When Li Hongbi saw this, his face turned red with laughter, and he did not hide his gloating at all.
Seeing that Mei Yin was about to go crazy, he finally explained: "Uncle Shi misunderstood. This contract is not for us, but for that person."
"It's written in black and white on a piece of paper, and there's an official seal on it, so this contract is naturally protected by the Ming Dynasty's laws!"
"As long as that person signs it, this contract will become a gold medal for you and my family to avoid death, and we can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being!"
After hearing Li Hongbi's patient explanation, Mei Yin finally understood.
Well, this time I was embarrassed again, and I became a bad person.
No wonder Li Jinglong has been silent!
Damn shit!
Wrong me!
The contract was signed and both parties were happy.
Princess Ningguo immediately wanted to take the contract and go to the palace to discuss the matter with the sage.
But Li Hongbi stopped her and raised objections.
"My aunt is a little anxious."
"Right now, the beauty cream has not become famous yet, and my family is not ready to produce it."
"If aunt goes to see the saint now, she will undoubtedly write a bad check to that person, which will make that person unhappy!"
Hearing this, Princess Ning Guo's face changed slightly and she nodded subconsciously.
"Hongbi is absolutely right, but my aunt is a little impatient."
"Then Hongbi, what do you mean..."
Li Hongbi took a sip of tea.
"Still as planned."
"Cao Guogong's Mansion will make every effort to produce the facial cream during the next period of time."
"My aunt will hold a large-scale dating party as soon as possible to spread the reputation of the beauty cream."
"When the business is on the right track and making a lot of money every day, my aunt will bring the contract to see the saint. This way, my aunt will feel confident. After seeing the high profits of the beauty cream, I will definitely not refuse it. "
Princess Ningguo heard this, stroking her palms and praising her: "Hongbi, you child is really... well behaved, mature and prudent, it's really remarkable."
This is the second time Princess Ningguo has praised Li Hongbi.
For other people, that is simply impossible!
After all, she is the eldest daughter of Taizu. Princess Ning Guo has a very high vision. It is not that she has never seen those so-called talented men. But compared with the child Li Hongbi, there is a huge difference and no comparison.
After the discussion was completed, both parties were happy.
Today's main goal was achieved, and Li Jinglong and his son also left wisely.
Mei Yin and his wife also understood that today was not the time to discuss the wedding date, so they did not hold back and went out to see them off in person.
However, when Li Hongbi walked to the front yard, something seemed to come over him and knocked him away.
It felt like being hit head-on by a heavy truck. Li Hongbi didn't even have time to react. He flew out on the spot and hit a tree heavily.
He could even vaguely hear the whine he made after his tender waist hit the tree.
"My son?!"
"Hongbi?!"
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
Li Hongbi stood up in despair, feeling the severe pain in his waist. He couldn't help but look at Mei Yin and angrily said, "What the hell did that thing jump over just now?"
"Mei Boyin, why are you raising an elephant at home?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in Mei Mansion were very exciting.
Especially Mei Yin himself, his expression became extremely strange.
elephant?
How dare you say that!
He was not angry, but looked at Li Hongbi with a hint of pity.
Li Hongbi was a little stunned when he saw a pretty woman appearing next to Mei Yin, staring at him fiercely with a swollen face.
what's the situation?
"Dad, run away quickly!"
“There’s something evil about this old Mei family!”
