A box.
Goods worth three hundred thousand taels!
Gao Yangzhi and Bai Yuxiu looked at each other, and there was a strange look in the eyes of these brothers.
"I never thought that my second brother is worth three hundred thousand taels."
Zhu Yunxi teased in a faint tone, and the white jade finger on his hand turned faster.
Bai Yuxiu smiled dryly and whispered: "These people really don't hesitate to spend a lot of money."
Just a cripple who was demoted as a cripple by His Majesty and expelled from the clan could be so valued by Shanxi merchants in Shanxi Road that they spent a lot of money to win over him.
These people are not very kind-hearted. They feel that the disabled people are imprisoned in Fengyang City, the central capital, and their lives are not good, so they want to lend a helping hand.
"The plan is very big!"
Xiao Gaoge made the final decision, his eyes showing solemnity.
Several people turned their attention to Zhu Yunxi, waiting for the imperial grandson's final decision.
This matter can no longer be explained simply by a group of female gangsters causing trouble and colluding with Bai Lian.
Since the third year of Hongwu, Shanxi merchants have obtained the power of the salt ponds in Hedong under the Kaizhong system, and they have the right to transport grain and grass supplies for hundreds of thousands of frontier troops in the nine-border town. Twenty-five years have passed since then. When the world was in chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Shanxi merchants who were injured have already recovered their vitality, or even gone further.
In his hands, he has wealth that is unparalleled in the country, and he has the power to control whether hundreds of thousands of frontier soldiers are fed. He controls the entire Hedong Salt Pond.
These were originally the lowest-level merchants among scholars, farmers, and merchants. In a sense, their status had exceeded the limit that it should not have.
Hundreds of thousands of border troops were involved.
How much involvement did the Sansi Yamen of Shanxi Province and the entire local government of Shanxi Province participate in it?
Up and down, how many officials who belong to the imperial court have been co-opted and corrupted by Shanxi merchants who are extremely wealthy, and they are running around to cover up and cover up for them.
In just a few years, in Fengyang City, the central capital, he could invest 300,000 taels of wealth into a useless man who had lost all hope and power.
These people may have already turned the entire Shanxi Road into a country within a country!
Sun Cheng observed what was happening and whispered, "What should we do with the property here?"
"Since it belongs to the second brother, it should naturally be returned to the second brother."
Zhu Yunxi smiled faintly.
Sun Cheng was stunned for a moment, nodded and took a step back.
The great grandson of the weak man picked out one sentence from this incident easily.
Gao Yangzhi bowed and said, "Your Highness, do you want me to write a memorial and report it to Your Majesty now?"
Bai Yuxiu's eyes immediately turned to the senior brother.
There are not many opportunities to see the memorial written by this senior fellow disciple in person.
Above the court, there are many officials, each of whom has his own set of political ideas, and their memorials can most directly reflect their political ideas.
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Send to Yingtian."
"Then how to deal with the incident on Shanxi Road..."
"Destroy the vitality of Shanxi merchants!" Zhu Yunxi said in a deep voice with a cold expression on his brows: "Your Majesty, I know that the Shanxi merchants insist on opening up the central system, which is detrimental to the country. The imperial court should A large warehouse in Beiping Prefecture was added to transport grain and grass to Jiaozhi Road and Zhancheng Road for storage, and important towns on the nine sides were transferred to the Ming Dynasty's frontier army."
Gao Yang stopped and nodded and said: "If we want to deal with the Shanxi merchants incident smoothly, it is inevitable that the opening of the central system will continue at present. The Okura of Beiping Prefecture has set up a new matter, and the imperial court can use the document as an excuse to rectify the nine-border army. The imperial court plans and plans the Northern Expedition. For military needs."
The transportation of grain and grass involving tens of millions of stones is bound to be impossible to do silently.
With so much grain and grass being transported to Beiping Prefecture, Shanxi Dao Shanxi merchants who were responsible for supplying grain and grass to the Nine Border Army were bound to receive the news when the incident began.
Zhu Yunxi turned his eyes, and Gao Yangzhi used the imperial court's preparations for the Northern Expedition as an excuse to cover up the construction of a large warehouse in Beiping Prefecture and replace it with Shanxi merchants. This cannot be considered prudent.
He nodded and said, "Draft a memorial accordingly."
"I obey the order.
"
He raised his head and bowed, raised his fists, and then said, "Your Highness, I believe that in order to completely quell the chaos caused by the Shanxi merchants, the imperial court must also regain the Hedong Salt Pond.
In recent years, Shanxi businessmen have put their hands and feet into the Huaiyang Saltworks. A large warehouse was built in Beiping Prefecture to prevent any harm to the border troops. Banning the salt fields in Hedong and Huaiyang will cut off their financial resources.
When all preparations are complete, His Highness can order the army to encircle Shanxi Road, close the door and beat the dogs, and completely eliminate the Shanxi Road female gangsters! "
This is a long plan.
Zhu Yunxi tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, making a low muffled sound.
After a long time, he nodded and said, "Chun Feng holds the pen, and this matter is all yours."
Gao Yangzhi's eyes flickered.
Taking Shanxi Road as a training ground, matters related to the country and the country were handed over to his own hands, spread throughout the court.
He took a deep breath, bowed his hands and said, "I accept your order!"
Zhu Yunxi hummed, clapped his hands on the armrests, and stood up: "I will leave all matters in Zhongdu to my entourage, and Fengyang Magistrate will accompany him to the north."
Qiu Fengzhen, who was being guarded by two officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guards, heard the sound and her heart dropped, but she could not calm down. Instead, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar or a bottomless abyss.
I'm going to die.
A group of officials from the imperial court accompanied Taisun to the north for inspection, which was a sign of being placed in a position of great importance.
Fortunately, he was the local magistrate of Fengyang, the central capital, and was named to accompany him to the north. This was to remove himself from his position as the magistrate of Fengyang.
After he went north with him, could the seat in Fengyang Mansion remain vacant, waiting for him to return and continue working?
It's just that no one cares about the Fengyang magistrate's gains and losses in officialdom.
Zhu Yunxi exchanged a few words with Gao Yangzhi, then led Sun Cheng, took the box, and headed to the yard where Zhu Yunwen was.
When Zhu Yunxi arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw that Zhu Yunwen had already carried out a planer, holding several carpentry tools in his hand, and was making several pieces of furniture that were still indistinguishable.
Bang.
The wooden box came back again, and was put in Zhu Yunwen's sight by Sun Cheng's subordinates.
Zhu Yunwen, who was carving on a piece of wood with a line drawn on it, couldn't help but trembled with his hands. The sharp chisel slipped out of the line and carved out a large piece of wood chips.
He couldn't help but frown and looked up at Zhu Yunxi who was also returning.
"The penny is gone."
But he just turned a blind eye to the wooden box that was clearly in sight.
Zhu Yunxi glanced twice, but sat directly on the wooden box.
He reached down and patted the wooden box: "Sun Cheng just touched this place, and there is no less than 300,000 taels of property. Logically speaking, it should be sent to Tiantian, handed over to the Ministry of Revenue, and paid into the national treasury.
It's just that it's not easy for you and your second sister-in-law to live here. The fields outside the city were originally intended for you, but I didn’t want you, my second brother, to give them all to the people.
Let's keep this money now. No matter what, it can be regarded as allowing the second sister-in-law to live a more dignified life.
Furthermore, if the second brother scatters this money, I am afraid that the people will not dare to accept it. Wealth and silk attract people's hearts, and if people take these things, they will only be killed. "
Not to mention those jiaozi that need to be exchanged at Shanxi merchants' money shops, but also those priceless treasures.
Ordinary people can hold it in their hands.
Unless it never leaks out.
Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to stay for the next day.
It may even lead to death and family destruction.
Zhu Yunwen sighed: "Why does His Highness Taisun do this..."
"It seems that the imperial court has not considered compensation from the Imperial City of Zhongdu in the past few years."
Zhu Yunxi explained softly, looking at the damaged piece of wood under Zhu Yunwen's hand.
"What is this going to do?"
Speaking of his carpentry work, Zhu Yunwen's eyes clearly lit up.
At this time, the original
Qiuniang, who was doing housework in the house, had already walked out carrying a cold teapot and a tea bowl.
Qiuniang smiled and said very warmly, "Your Highness, please have some tea."
"Thank you, second sister-in-law."
Zhu Yunxi thanked him smoothly.
Qiuniang poured a cup of herbal tea for each of them and placed it on the table beside them. Without leaving any more, she turned around and returned to the house.
Zhu Yunxi took a sip of herbal tea and stared directly at Zhu Yunwen.
It seemed a little uncomfortable to be stared at.
Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and looked at the damaged wood with pity: "This was originally a rocking chair ordered by Uncle Zhang's family in the east of the city. The old man's family has had many grandchildren in the past two years, and the old man stopped working, so he thought I am happy to entertain my grandson, get a rocking chair, and move some wisterias to the yard."
As he spoke, he put the chipped piece of wood aside, took another piece of wood of the same size that had already been planed, and placed it on the table. Holding the ink fountain and charcoal pen on the side, prepare to redraw the lines.
Zhu Yunxi watched silently from the side.
In just a few years, Zhu Yunwen's hands are no longer as delicate as they were when he was growing up in the palace.
The skin color is darker and more weathered.
There are also some darker calluses on the fingertips and between the palms.
Probably because I have been working all the time, my fingers are thicker and my palms are bigger.
Watched for a long time.
Only then did Zhu Yunxi realize that Zhu Yunwen had become stronger in the past two years.
What he saw before him was not something Zhu Yunwen was pretending to know that he was coming to Fengyang.
This is how he got through these years.
The hammer head hit the top of the chisel. Zhu Yunwen's hand firmly grasped the chisel, and the chisel head penetrated into the wood like cutting tofu.
Without even seeing Zhu Yunwen's hand move, the sawdust was cut in a neat shape within the marked area.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and even supports offline reading.
Look comprehensively. "
Zhu Yunxi smiled and looked at Zhu Yunwen: "Second brother, is there anything else you want to say?"
Zhu Yunwen shook his head: "I wanted to go out to the city with Qiuniang tomorrow. We would find some game at farmers' homes outside the city and bring it back. Let Qiuniang cook some dishes in the evening, and then go to a wine shop in Xicheng to have a few drinks with you..."
Zhu Yunxi immediately said: "If second brother wants to do this, we can set off again the day after tomorrow."
"No, no." Zhu Yunwen shook his head repeatedly: "When you finish your northern tour next year and return south to Beijing, you can also go to Fengyang. You must ask someone to send a letter in advance so that Qiuniang and I can prepare the food and drinks in advance."
"Then I'll have to wait a long time for this drink."
Zhu Yunxi said calmly, with a sincere smile on his face.
Zhu Yunwen said casually: "You are still young, and there is a wine shop, so you can drink regularly."
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen was calm and relaxed as never before.
Zhu Yunxi looked at him seriously, and finally nodded and said: "That's fine, I will come to Fengyang next year and drink this pot of wine with my second brother!"
…
The moon is bright in the middle of the night and the sky is full of stars.
Insects that have not yet penetrated into the soil in summer are still retaining their last noises about the world.
The window paper lets the moonlight into the house.
In the small but clean and tidy back room, Zhu Yunwen was leaning on the pillow on the bed.
Beside him, Qiuniang frowned slightly.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the window sill in front of the foot of the bed, at the moonlight outside the window, and at the dark shadow of the palace wall outside the window.
"Jiro."
"Um?"
"Why did that box come back to our house?"
"..."
Zhu Yunwen closed his mouth and turned to look at Qiuniang who was pillowing on his arm, with a smile on his face: "That's the bride price for you."
Peng.
Zhu Yunwen's chest made a muffled sound.
"It's not serious!" Qiu Niang frowned and raised her nose: "I took a look, there are a lot of treasures inside, and there are a lot of money tickets. Is it really okay to leave so much money at home?"
Zhu Yunwen nodded, then shook his head.
Qiuniang raised her head and looked at her man.
Zhu Yunwen spoke again after a long time.
"The third child is really different now."
"It is a blessing for the country to have him."
"It's just the glass of wine I promised him, but I don't know when I will be able to drink it..."
