"You fart, even though our sixth son is suffering from a mad disease, how can he be greedy? The annual annual payment is almost 10,000 taels!" Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. He didn't expect that Li Shanren actually poured dirty water on Zhu Jun. .
"This is true, but Your Majesty, His Highness King Wu spends money like water. He not only loves gambling, but also loves to reward money.
Not to mention the annual payment, even if it were a mountain of gold and silver a year, he would spend it all within a few days.
If not, how could Prince Wu's Mansion be so dilapidated?
Why does King Wu need to sell furniture, real estate, and maids?
Are these all just nonsense? "
Li Shanren said with a bitter face: "These days, His Majesty the King of Wu has asked the eunuch Xun Busan to use a donkey cart to scatter gold and silver money all over the world. Your Majesty must also know about it.
The cart full of gold and silver was at least ten thousand taels.
Let me ask, where did he get so much silver?
Not only that, the King of Wu also recruited soldiers from the government on a large scale. Although they were refugees, they were paid three taels a month. If they had family members, they were given fifty taels directly.
Three meals a day, accommodation, and even three sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes per season are provided.
In the past few days, there have been more than a thousand people.
According to a rough estimate, five to sixty thousand taels have been spent.
May I ask Your Majesty, have you given any money to His Highness King Wu recently?
If the prince is not here, he must not be the prince. Even if the prince loves King Wu, he will not waste his money.
Even King Yan may not be able to come up with so much money for a while! "
What Li Shanren said was reasonable and well-founded. Taking out this thick stack of IOUs made Zhu Yuanzhang angry and angry.
He sat on the dragon chair and thought about what Li Shanren said.
Indeed, he had already known about Zhu Jun's recruitment.
At first, he thought it was relieving the court's worries, and he was quite happy.
I feel that Zhu Jun has made progress.
But he didn't think carefully about where he got so much money!
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, Li Shanren sighed, "If His Highness, King Wu, hadn't demanded so much, why would this have happened?"
"That can't cover up the fact that Cai Wen is greedy!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "He should have come to us the first time, why did he say it now?"
"Because His Highness the King of Wu is flaunting his Majesty's name, and the Crown Prince is too doting on His Highness the King of Wu. It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but he really doesn't dare!" Li Shanren said: "Although the money was allocated by the imperial court, the money is all It is saved without delaying the project and quality.
However, His Highness King Wu was so demanding that Cai Guan had no choice but to empty out the Cai family's wealth and even borrow money from the Shen family.
If your Majesty doesn't believe it, here is the IOU! "
Li Shanren took out an IOU again, which was the IOU written by Cai Guan to Shen Dabao.
Two irrefutable pieces of evidence were placed in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang could hardly suppress his anger. He looked through the IOU with a cold face, and immediately said: "What did you say about saving money?"
"If the imperial court allocates 300,000 taels to build the city wall this year, and the bricks for the city wall will be dedicated from various places, plus the rations of 200,000 lifu, we can build three miles.
On the premise of ensuring the progress and quality, two hundred and eighty thousand taels were used, so the remaining money was saved.
Originally, this money could also be put into the national treasury and calculated at the end of the year.
But Cai Guan was too talkative and let his words slip, and His Highness King Wu set his sights on the money.
He also used coercion and inducement, threatening to let the prince bring down the Cai family if he didn't give him any money!
His Highness King Wu went crazy, and no one dared to provoke him, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Cai Wen made a mistake, and the crime will not lead to death. Please see clearly! "
He poured all the dirty water on Zhu Jun, and not only that, he also got the prince involved.
Based on his understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, this matter will definitely not become a big deal.
He cherished the prince's reputation even more than his own.
"Go on, we will investigate this matter clearly. If this is really the case, if we kill our adopted son, we can also kill our own son!" Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his anger and said.
"Your majesty is wise, I will retire!"
After coming out of Fengtian Hall, Li Shanren's back was soaked with cold sweat.
This matter is not only Cai Wen's business, he must protect Cai Wen in order to clear his relationship.
Fortunately, Madman Zhu is simple-minded. Even if he has ten mouths, he can't explain clearly.
The most important thing is that without the prince, there will be room for action!
...
At this time, Zhu Jun entered the university hall, where there was already the sound of reading.
He knocked on the door with some embarrassment and bowed to the elder on the podium, "Sir, the student is late!"
At that moment, the princes and grandsons sitting in the school looked over after their achievements.
Li Yanxi's face darkened when she saw the person coming, "You still want to come? Do you know what time it is now?"
As he said that, he picked up the ruler and hit Zhu Jun hard on the head.
Bang bang bang!
Knocked three times in a row, Zhu Jun grimaced in pain.
I touched it with my hand and saw a boss's bag.
The teachers in this university are all famous officials, such as Song Lian, Gui Yanliang, Wei Guan...
This Li Yanxi is one of the best, with a temper that is stinkier and tougher than the stones in the latrine.
Hitting someone is not ambiguous at all.
It doesn’t matter if you are a prince or a grandson, let’s fight first!
Zhu Yuanzhang had to retreat.
Hahaha!
Seeing Zhu Jun being beaten, everyone in the university hall laughed.
"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Madman Zhu!"
"It's really strange that Madman Zhu actually came to the university hall. The sun is coming out from the west!"
"It's weird, crazy Zhu is already in his prime, why is he still here?"
Everyone immediately started talking.
"Everyone be quiet!"
Li Yanxi said something coldly, and everyone suddenly became quiet.
"Give me a reason to be late, otherwise, you will stand in my class today!" Others are afraid of Madman Zhu, but he is not.
Even the prince cannot miss his class without any reason.
Zhu Jun was beaten three times, but he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and then said: "The student is late, there is no reason.
Because no reason is a reason for students to be late. If the teacher plays well, students will definitely not be late again in the future! "
Li Yanxi was very surprised. Madman Zhu did not explain or glare at him, but was very humble.
This actually made him less angry, "Since this is your first time taking my class, forget it. If there is a next time, you don't have to come again!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Sit in the last row!"
Zhu Jun sat at the end under the watchful eyes of all the kids.
At this moment, a man shouted softly: "Uncle Six, why are you here?"
Zhu Jun took a closer look and saw that it was his eldest brother's eldest son, Zhu Yingxiong.
This boy has been smart since he was a child, and he is very close to Zhu Jun. He always remembers Zhu Jun when he has something delicious and fun to do.
She is much closer to Zhu Yingwen than her eldest brother's concubine Lu.
As soon as his predecessor made a mistake, this kid ran to Lao Zhu, knelt down and begged for mercy, crying with snot and tears.
Therefore, my predecessor also liked this eldest nephew very much. If he had something delicious and fun to eat, he would always bring him a portion.
He became more and more certain that this world might be the parallel world of Ming Dynasty.
There was a Zhu Xiongying in the Ming Dynasty who died when he was less than eight years old, which directly changed the future of the Ming Dynasty.
This Zhu Yingxiong is exactly eight years old this year.
Will he be like that child and die young?
