Liu Ji, Liu Bowen, this name, although Zhang Changsheng is far away from the court, he still knows each other.

He was also an impressive person under Zhu Yuanzhang back then.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen was appointed by the emperor as Yushi Zhongcheng and Taishi Ling. He was also regarded as an important official in the Ming Dynasty.

This child has lived in Longhu Mountain for a long time, how does he know this adult's name?

Zhang Changshang gave Zhang Yi a meaningful look. This kid has become more and more self-indulgent since he proposed to leave Longhu Mountain.

Everyone knows that he has a secret. Although Zhang Yi is only a child of seven or eight years old, he always makes Zhang Zhongpong feel like he is a peer.

Zhang Yi knew he had said something wrong, so he quickly made amends and comforted his father:

"You are satisfied. Today's majesty, if he can give you money, it means he values ​​you very much! His style of conduct is to praise you verbally and never give material rewards. Even if he does, he will only give you some money. Look at the officials of the Ming Dynasty. Just know the salary... This is a master who wants the cows to work but is not willing to let the cows eat grass..."

"Shut up, walls have ears. Do you want to die?"

Zhang Yi didn't know that the emperor was paying attention to Longhu Mountain, but Zhang Changsheng knew, and he quickly interrupted Zhang Yi.

This bastard is definitely going to explode at some point. Old Zhang always feels that it is wrong to pin Longhu Mountain’s hopes on Zhang Yi.

He couldn't say anything more and could only change the subject:

"What are your plans to take over the Taoist temple?"

Zhang Yi chuckled and said: "Make money, and then survive... first try hard to ensure that you don't die young!~"

"Survive?"

Zhang Changshang was puzzled. Although Zhang Yi seemed to be exiled to the capital, as a direct descendant of the Zhang family, although Zhang Yishang could not give him a good life, he could still have enough food and clothing.

How can you not survive in such conditions?

"It's very difficult to survive..."

Zhang Yi's understanding of living is different from Zhang Normal's understanding of living. People of this era have become accustomed to it, so they instinctively ignore how difficult it is for a child to grow up to adulthood.

Not to mention other people, even if you are in Tianjia, the probability of your child dying is very high.

The most typical one is Zhu Xiongying, the third-generation eldest grandson of the Zhu family. Didn't he just die?

Smallpox, cholera, malaria, and even colds and colds may all take away a person's life. The ancients had a big heart, but as a modern man, Zhang Yi is cautious every day of his life.

So he felt he needed to do something, but whatever he wanted to do, he needed money.

Looking for it from the Zhang family?

Let's not talk about whether Zhang Changsheng will give it. Although the Zhang family will not be too miserable in the future, they will only dare to keep a low profile and cannot help him much.

What Zhang Yi wants to do requires a lot of money!

He scribbled a few chemical formulas on the paper and didn't bother to explain these problems to his father.

Zhang Chenggang was used to this rebellious son being indifferent to him. The father and son chatted for a while, and then he turned and left.

"He still can't let go!"

Zhang Yi watched his father leave and muttered to himself.

Zhang Changshang can actually be regarded as a good Heavenly Master. Although eighty years of wealth have corroded the Longhu Mountain to some extent, Zhang Changshang, as the helmsman, is worthy of the position of Heavenly Master.

In the remaining ten years of his life, he made many contributions to Longhu Mountain, and later successfully appeased Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, it was precisely because of his responsibility to the Celestial Master lineage that he probably could not escape from the loss of the Celestial Master position. Because of this conversation with the emperor, Zhang Changshang was destined to be embarrassed in a shameful way. , leaving a disgraceful mark in the history passed down by the sixty-four generations of Heavenly Masters.

If he had a choice, Zhang Yi wouldn't mind helping him, but he knew that he was a man of few words, so he probably wouldn't be able to help him much!

The whole night was silent. On the second day, Zhang Changchang led his disciples and brought Zhang Yi and Deng Zhongxiu to Qingxin Temple.

After settling his son, Zhang Tianshi prepared to return, so Zhang Yi and Deng Zhongxiu then saw Zhang Changcheng off.

"Go back, Deng Zhongxiu, and take good care of your junior brother!"

"Here are twelve pieces of silver, spend it first!"

Before Zhang Chenggong left, he handed twelve yi coins into the hands of Deng Zhongxiu. Zhang Yi was young, so Deng Zhongxiu might have to take care of everything.

The father and son looked at each other speechlessly. Lao Zhang seemed to have a thousand words to say, but finally swallowed them.

"I am leaving!"

"Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Chengcheng said goodbye to Zhang Yi and was about to leave when he heard someone calling him from behind.

He turned around and saw a carriage approaching slowly.

The people in the car opened the curtain, and Zhang Changsheng was shaken all over. The person seeing him off was actually Zhu Yuanzhang?

No, Zhu Yuanzhang at this time should be his [close friend] Huang He.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao got off the carriage, and Zhang Changshang hurried over to greet them.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"Uncle Huang!"

Zhang Yi came to know him well and greeted Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang laughed:

"Brother Zhang, you are leaving the capital, how could I not come to see you off? What's more, I have to take good care of your second son..."

"Let's go and talk over there!"

There was a pavilion on the roadside, and a group of people walked to the pavilion and sat down.

"Brother Zhang met the emperor this time, and he must have returned home with a full load. I don't know when we, brothers, will see each other again!"

Lao Zhu spoke kindly, as if he was a different person. Zhang Changshang laughed when he heard the words and could only deal with it.

"Twenty-four yi of silver is indeed a rich reward, Your Majesty's grace!!"

"Silver, that's right!"

When Zhang Yi heard this sentence, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to wink at Zhang Changshang. He actually forgot about it...

"If you have anything to say, just tell me, why are you making such a face?"

When mentioning money, Zhang Yi actually thought of another thing, and that was about how the money came from Longhu Mountain.

The income of Longhu Mountain comes from the Zhang family's fields all over the place and the grain collected from rent, and the other is from the business of issuing ultimatums controlled by the Zhang family.

Although the emperor has taken away many powers from the Zhang family, this power has not yet been taken away.

He reminded: "Dad, you have to send more ultimatums before the emperor reacts. In the future, the emperor will probably take away this business. You can make whatever you can..."

It was a good thing that Zhang Yi didn't remind him. As soon as he finished speaking, the three people in the pavilion fell silent.

"What happen to you guys?"

Zhang Yi is still confused. Is it wrong for him to kindly remind his father?

Even if the emperor knew about the issuance of ultimatums, it would be nothing. It was just a trivial matter of no importance. If the emperor felt that it was unacceptable, he would naturally take back his power, but he had the right to use it and it would become invalid upon expiration.

Zhang Chenggong burst into tears. This is true, but did you tell me last night that you could die?

If you don't say anything at any time, just say it when the emperor is around. What's the difference between this and loudly conspiring?

Zhang Zhongcheng's heart was bleeding, but he still wanted to teach Zhang Yi a lesson with a straight face:

"What bad idea did you come up with? My father is not like this!"
