"What did you do?" Lao Zhu frowned and scolded Mr. Zhu for a while.
"How old are you, and how old is our eldest grandson?"
"You have fought all the way and killed countless people. Our eldest grandson is only a teenager. You are simply lawless!"
"Father, I am your grandson..."
"Call Taisun!" Lao Zhu scolded sternly,
"Let me tell you, the great-grandson is the great-grandson that we personally selected!"
"Moreover, in every aspect, we are extremely satisfied with our grandson!"
"Please remember, from now on, you will only be ministers, and the grandson, he is the king, and now he is the heir apparent. When I die, he will be your king!"
"Father taught you a lesson!" Zhu Di was helpless. Is there anything more uncomfortable than this?
Zhu Di felt that his injuries were more serious at this time, and Lao Zhu was also angry.
You shouldn't have come back.
And this damn little bastard, he doesn’t want to give up until he kills himself!
"Okay, let's go back!" Lao Zhu waved his hand and said.
"Father, I have one more thing to do!" Zhu Di suddenly said.
"Huh? Is there anything else?" Lao Zhu turned around and asked, why is it not over yet?
"Father, I am looking for my grandson!" Zhu Di said.
"Huh? What do you want from Da Sun?" Lao Zhu asked out of curiosity.
"Father, my great-grandson said before that he wanted to arrange an imperial doctor for my son, so I asked one of my subordinates to follow my grandson!"
"This subordinate is also my brother-in-law, close friend, and the one who saved my son many times on the battlefield!"
"Now there is no need to let Erchen's siblings go, so Erchen wants to go back with him!" Zhu Di explained.
Zhu Di knew very well that if he wanted to take him back, he should take Zhu Neng back now.
On the way here, they had been watching. There were some exchanges between Zhu Neng and Zhu Xiongying, but they were all in front of others.
He doesn't need to worry about anything, for example, Zhu Neng's possible changes.
But if you wait for a while and Zhu Neng returns again, it will be okay if there are no confidential matters.
But if there is a confidential matter that needs to be involved, no matter whether Zhu Neng will rebel or not, as long as he stays by Zhu Xiongying's side, he will not be completely relieved.
After finally selecting such a brave subordinate, Zhu Di didn't want to just disappear.
"Dasun?" Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Xiongying and asked.
"Yeah, okay!" Zhu Xiongying nodded and immediately shouted outside,
"Two dogs!"
"The slave is here!"
"Where's Zhu Neng? Is he still there? He's the general that Gu brought before!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Ah? Reporting back to Your Highness, the general has already gone to ask for the imperial doctor!" Chen Ergou said.
Perfect!
Chen Ergou's cooperation is really good. If it were Guo Ming and the others, they probably wouldn't have such quick thinking.
But after Chen Ergou heard about it, he immediately guessed how to deal with it.
"Fourth uncle, what do you think?" Zhu Xiongying said with a slight smile.
"Then I'll wait here!" Zhu Di's face darkened slightly, but he still said.
"Okay, okay, it's just one person, what's the big deal?" Lao Zhu's face darkened and he said,
"He is your brother of life and death, and you and your eldest grandson are uncles and nephews whose blood is thicker than water!"
"Besides, if I stay with you, my achievements will be just like that. If I stay with my grandson, my future will be even brighter!"
"Since you are his brother, you should do it for his own good!"
"The eldest grandson is still my grandson of the Ming Dynasty. Don't say that he is one of your subordinates. Even if it is you yourself, you must obey our eldest grandson's orders!" Lao Zhu shouted.
"Yes, Father!" Zhu Di knew that Zhu Neng was afraid that he might not come back now that he was talking about it.
"Then please, Your Highness Taisun, treat my brothers of life and death well!" Zhu Di said through gritted teeth.
"Don't worry, fourth uncle, they are all generals of our Ming Dynasty. I will never treat these ministers who have contributed to our Ming Dynasty badly!" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile.
"Then I'm relieved, but I have to leave after all. I hope Your Highness can let General Zhu Neng finally talk to me about our brotherly relationship!" Zhu Di requested.
Now that things have come to this point, Zhu Di's head is spinning.
You win over my people, but I can't put a nail in your side.
He didn't believe that Zhu Xiongying, a little bastard, could still trust Zhu Neng so much.
If he doesn't get trust from you, then he will still be mine in the end.
"Oh? Haha, okay, I will tell him when he comes back!" Zhu Xiongying said with a slight smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" With that said, Zhu Laosi and Zhu Laoqi bowed to Lao Zhu and left.
And Lao Zhu could finally have a quiet meal and chat with Zhu Xiongying.
"Dasun!" But at this time, Lao Zhu suddenly became serious.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Zhu Xiongying suddenly raised his head and asked while eating.
"You and the fourth child still have conflicts?" Old Zhu was not a fool, so he asked again.
"No!" Zhu Xiongying smiled.
But Lao Zhu didn't smile at all and looked at Zhu Xiongying seriously.
Zhu Xiongying looked at Lao Zhu's appearance, put down his chopsticks, and said,
"There is no conflict between me and my fourth uncle!"
"It's just Uncle Fourth himself..."
"What's wrong with the fourth child?" Lao Zhu frowned and asked.
Lao Zhu has said that the fourth child is similar to himself, but the Ming Dynasty, no matter from which aspect, does not allow the emergence of an emperor who is similar to a lower-end version of Hongwu.
"It's nothing, the fourth uncle is just a little bit arrogant!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Crazy? Use this on Lao Si, okay?" Lao Zhu asked.
"Haha, maybe it's because I feel resentful that a spearhead like me is weighing on my fourth uncle's head!" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile.
"Are you telling the truth?" Lao Zhu asked seriously.
"Haha, it's true. Otherwise, why didn't I target the other lords?"
"Second uncle, third uncle and the others, even though I haven't seen them, I won't treat them like this!"
"Like King Qi, his relationship is also good!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"We know!" Lao Zhu said, but what exactly he thought, Lao Zhu did not say.
"Haha, grandpa, stop talking and come and eat!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"No, we still have to tell you, Lord, I am the current pillar of my Ming Dynasty!"
"We allow you to cut down the feudal clan, but you can't do it lightly!"
"Also, if your uncles have not committed heinous crimes, you must not kill them!" Lao Zhu explained.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I understand, and I promise, grandpa!" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile.
"Well, let's eat it!" Lao Zhu didn't say anything more and started eating together with Zhu Xiongying.
"Grandpa, I don't know what I said in the letter before. How is the court doing now?" Zhu Xiongying asked while eating.
"There are a lot of changes!" Lao Zhu became interested now, put down his chopsticks, and swallowed the food.
"In the past few months, Dasun, didn't you ask the six ministries to negotiate on reforming commercial taxation?"
"Currently, according to what you said, Dasun, new business taxes have been started in Qiantang, Yangzhou, Suzhou and other wealthy places on the southeast coast!"
"It's all divided into stages according to your requirements, Dasun!"
"In the first month, we conducted a co-ordination, hahaha, the business tax is pretty good, more than 300,000 taels!"
"Just a few places have added 300,000 taels to us. If it's a year, that's millions of taels in tax revenue!"
"This time I completely shocked those old scholars!"
"They all started praising the grandson!"
"And later, I counted it every two months, and there were 800,000 taels!"
"A quarter's business tax has been paid now. This time, what we have to do will make us rich!" Lao Zhu said with a smile.
"Oh? Are there no objections from these merchants?" Zhu Xiongying asked with a smile.
"They dare!" Lao Zhu glared and shouted,
"We have given them face and dare to object!"
"Hahaha, grandpa is domineering!" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile.
At this time, all policies, not to mention a blank piece of paper, are easy to implement, especially the landlord class, big businessmen, etc., which are completely absent.
When Lao Zhu gives an order, no one dares to disobey...
