In the Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already stood up at this moment, looked down at the civil and military officials, and said loudly:
"Listen, listen carefully to us."
"This is the courage of our Ming Dynasty Crown Prince, and he is worthy of being our Ming Dynasty Crown Prince."
"Prince Shengming!!"
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished praising Zhu Biao, all the civil and military officials immediately began to flatter him.
"Hahaha, pass on the message."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, and then issued a decree:
"Just do as our prince says."
"Seal a king without enfeoffing a land; grant a vassal without inheriting a vassal."
"The kings of future generations are not allowed to divide vassal kings at will."
"In special times, you should do special things. Taking advantage of the situation is what every wise king should do."
Li Shanchang immediately came out of the queue, cupped his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I would like to congratulate you."
"The Emperor's Holy Might."
The top civil servants all agreed with this matter, and other civil servants came out to express their congratulations to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was full of joy. No matter what, the matter of sealing the king to guard the border was finally completed.
His old Zhu family's empire should no longer be like the Qin Dynasty, which was destroyed in the second generation.
"Okay, that being the case, I will make the emperor's second son Zhu Feng the King of Qin and garrison Xi'an."
"The third son of the emperor, Zhu Fan, is the king of Jin and is stationed in Taiyuan."
"The fourth son of the emperor, Zhu Di, is the king of Yan and is stationed in Dadu."
Zhu Yuanzhang directly made all his adult sons kings, and all of them were stationed in key places in the north.
Xi'an and Taiyuan are all battlegrounds for military strategists, and they are important military towns. How many people in the past dynasties have been kings and hegemons in these places.
The places Zhu Yuanzhang chose for his sons were all carefully selected.
Even if something goes wrong with the central court, as long as the three vassal kings unite, the northern land will still be firmly in the hands of the old Zhu family.
At that time, it will be easy to regain the mountains and rivers and restore the imperial court.
The court meeting finally ended with Zhu Yuanzhang's reward. After all the civil and military officials left the court, there was a lot of discussion in groups.
As for military commanders, Xu Da still walks alone, does not participate in any discussions, and will not take the initiative to strike up a conversation with anyone.
Lan Yu sneaked up and asked Xu Da in a low voice:
"How's it going, Mr. Wei Guogong? How did you enjoy the show today?"
Xu Da glanced at Lan Yu and asked lightly:
"Yongchang Hou, when did you still have the ability to pinch and calculate?"
When Lan Yu heard this, she said with a stern expression:
"Hehe, I also received guidance from an expert."
"A very interesting young man who is also from Huaixi. Would you like to meet him?"
Xu Da paused. Although he was curious, Xu Da still held back and refused directly:
"not see."
"Yongchang Hou, if nothing happens, I will leave first."
"Alas, don't be impatient yet."
Seeing that Xu Da was leaving, Lan Yu suddenly became anxious.
"Of course I have something to ask of Mr. Wei Guogong."
"I have a big deal here. I wonder if Wei Guogong is interested?"
Xu Da shook his head again and said:
"not interested."
"You haven't finished listening yet, don't refuse yet."
The blue jade stuck to Xu Da like dog skin plaster and said:
"This is a huge deal. A few people can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year. Are you really not going to come?"
"Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?"
Even a steady person like Xu Da couldn't help but be a little shocked when he heard so much money.
Xu Da is now the Duke of the country and has a large number of fiefs. Every year, many people surrender to his name, and he can receive taxes from these lands.
In addition to the fiefdom, the Duke of Wei also has his own business. Coupled with some salary from the court, the annual income of the Duke of Wei is less than 100,000 taels.
Even so, Xu Da felt it was amazing.
After all, they have a family of dozens of people, and their annual expenses will not exceed 20,000 taels of silver. Of course, all the remaining money will be buried underground and left to future generations.
Xu Da didn't care at all about the big business Lan Yu mentioned just now.
Because in Xu Da's opinion, what kind of business would a reckless man like Lan Yu do? I can earn as much as ten thousand taels of silver every year.
He, Xu Da, is not someone who cares about ten or twenty thousand taels of silver. He is someone who has outgrown vulgar taste.
But after hearing Lan Yu say that he could earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, Xu Da couldn't hold himself any longer.
Even his state of mind, which had been as stable as an old dog after practicing for many years, showed some ripples.
Lan Yu saw Xu Da's surprised look, with a slight stern look in his eyes. No matter how steady you are like an old dog, you will still be suppressed by me.
"It's indeed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If the market goes well, it might be worth millions."
When Xu Da heard this, he walked away.
Millions a year? Who are you kidding here? Not even a charlatan would dare say that!
Even if it's a scam, at least say something reliable. Do you really think that Uncle Xu is a reckless man like Lan Yu, so easy to deceive?
"Wei Guogong, we had a good conversation, why do you want to leave again?"
Lan Yu couldn't figure it out. She was talking so well just now, why is she leaving without saying a word now?
Xu Da was grabbed by Lan Yu, looked at Lan Yu with a retarded expression, and said seriously:
"Lanyu, I think you may have encountered a scam. I suggest you report the crime immediately!!"
Seeing Xu Da's retarded eyes and hearing his sharp words, Lan Yu's face instantly turned red and she yelled:
"Xuda, do you think I'm an idiot?"
Lan Yu's roar attracted the attention of the civil and military officials, who all turned their eyes towards him.
But when he saw it was Lan Yu and Xu Da, he quickly turned around and left, pretending that he hadn't seen them.
"Idiot? This term is quite appropriate."
Xu Da still looked calm, affirming the word idiot.
Lan Yu is already furious. I'm here to make you rich. How dare you treat me like a fool?
However, thinking about the profits behind this matter, Lan Yu decided to endure it. After all, this matter could not be done without Xu Da.
Lan Yu felt that the big deal that guy Li Jin was talking about was not safe, so it was more reliable to bring Xu Da with him.
After all, if something happens, this Duke of Wei is a towering tree that can protect him from the wind and rain.
He Lan Yu is not a fool, on the contrary, I am as smart as a monkey, okay?
"Wei Guogong, this is absolutely true. This young man told me about this deal."
Lan Yu continued to persuade Xu Da, trying to convince this towering tree.
"The Emperor was also present at that time. If you don't believe me, you have to believe in the Emperor, right?"
"emperor?"
Xu Da raised his eyebrows slightly, with a suspicious expression, and said doubtfully:
"Does the Emperor also know about this?"
"Know!"
Lan Yu lowered her voice and said:
"But the Emperor hasn't made up his mind on this matter yet. If we get there first, it won't be the Emperor's business."
"So please Wei Guogong must keep it a secret!"
Xu Da nodded and said:
"In this case, I will consider this matter again and give you an answer later."
To be honest, Xu Da was indeed a little tempted.
If this is really what Lan Yu said, and the emperor knows about it, then maybe it can really happen.
Although he felt that Lan Yu was unreliable, based on what Lan Yu said before the court and the abnormal behavior of the emperor and the prince today, Xu Da was certain that the young man Lan Yu was talking about was a very talented person.
After all, he was able to persuade the emperor to change his mind. Just because of this, this young man was not simple.
Doing business with such a person is very promising, but you have to be more careful, otherwise you are just afraid that you will be sold by him and help you count the money!
But Xu Da is not afraid. After all, in the Ming Dynasty, there are really not many people who dare to play tricks on Xu Da.
Xu Da walked towards the house at a leisurely pace.
