my brother-in-law is the prince
Chapter 124 This Sun Must Be the Holy Master
Chapter 124 This Sun Must Be the Holy Master
Zhu Zhanji leaned on Zhang Anshi, feeling a little confused.
He thought for a while and said, "So to be an emperor, do you have to go around? Only then can seeing be believing."
Zhang Anshi looked at the little guy's thirsty look, and a sincere smile appeared on his lips.
Zhu Zhanji is indeed a smart kid, much better than his peers.
Zhang Anshi said patiently: "Seeing is believing is not to say that you have to see everything with your own eyes, but you must be familiar with the affairs of the world. You have to know about scholars, farmers, businessmen, how they live, and what they rely on for a living. You also need to know what people of the three religions and nine streams look like, and their living conditions. In addition, there are differences in the situation in different places, and why these differences occur. You have seen these with your own eyes and learned about different people. Living conditions, knowing what they are worried about, at this time, seeing is believing!"
"In this way, you will have the ability to distinguish between true and false, and you will be able to know how much water is in the memorials that have been uploaded, which ones are worthy of trust, and which ones are not worthy of trust."
Zhu Zhanji suddenly realized, and said in a childlike voice: "It turns out that being an emperor is so simple, as long as you understand the truth."
Zhang Anshi couldn't help laughing: "The easiest thing in this world is to understand the truth, but the hardest thing is also to understand the truth."
Zhu Zhanji asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Because people are so close to each other, everyone may deceive you for various reasons, except uncle, who only loves you."
Zhu Zhanji stared at a pair of big black eyes and said, "But why did they lie to me?"
Zhang Anshi said: "It's because they can benefit from you."
Zhu Zhanji was thoughtful: "I understand, I have to beware of someone lying to me."
He thought about it carefully, and said again: "If you say it this way, isn't father very confused? He can easily trust others!"
Zhang Anshi was silent for a while, and then said: "Belief in others is also a virtue, but... sometimes it is not a fault to trust others."
Zhu Zhanji pouted and said, "You've said all the good things."
Zhang Anshi touched Zhu Zhanji's head and said: "This is called the way of being a minister. The way of being a minister is to be the emperor's sage anyway. This is also something you need to be vigilant about, because some people will treat you like a brother-in-law. coaxing you, giving you all kinds of high hats of benevolence and benevolence, and letting you make decisions that are beneficial to them! Song Renzong, do you know? Anyone with the word benevolence in their posthumous titles is often praised by others, But in fact... I don’t think they are any different from Hunjun.”
Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said, "But the masters say Song Renzong is very good!"
Zhang Anshi sneered and said: "When he was in power, Xixia was established, and the imperial court sent a large amount of old coins to Xixia and Liao every year from the treasury. Land annexation was serious. Is this also called benevolence? It's like someone robbed you You have to obediently give this man money every year, and the money you give is obtained from your relatives."
Then, Zhang Anshi's face showed a look of sarcasm, and said: "If you send New Year coins to the Liao Kingdom, that's fine. It's just like that in Xixia. The so-called peace talks can be called the so-called Wenzhi. You think this is ridiculous." Not ridiculous!"
After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help saying, "But why do everyone say he is good?"
Zhang Anshidao: "So this is the crux of the problem, because anyone, especially the emperor, even if it is the most stupid thing, there will be people who will profit from it, and some people will suffer. For example, giving old coins, The money in the old coin is tax income. Anyway, it is the money of the treasury. What does it have to do with ordinary people? But because of the gift of the old coin, there will be no wars, so a large number of people can stay on the land to cultivate , which will naturally be of great benefit to those who own a great deal of land."
"There is also annexation of land. This annexation of land, although many people have to be reduced to tenants and slaves, but the land of the annexer has increased. How can he not think of others?"
Zhang Anshi continued: "So in the future, if someone flatters you, don't be complacent, but think about why these people flatter you. And if someone scolds you quietly, don't rush to feel ashamed. Instead, you should think about why these people scold you. Don’t be emotional in everything, listen more, think more, and watch more.”
Zhang Anshi treated Zhu Zhanji attentively and patiently, breaking things up for him little by little, allowing him to understand slowly.
Zhu Zhanji was also lost in thought.
But at this moment, a eunuch came in a hurry and said in a hurry: "Quick, quick, Your Majesty is here, His Royal Highness, hurry up and meet him."
Zhu Zhanji shuddered, thinking of something, panicked all over, and couldn't help saying: "The emperor's grandfather is here, it's over, the emperor's grandfather must have come to question the crime."
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is nothing in this matter that cannot be solved by crying, making trouble and hanging himself."
After all, the two dared not neglect, so they hurriedly followed the eunuch to meet him.
Here in Zhan Shi's mansion, the prince and princess have already heard the news, and hurried to pick him up.
All the princes and officials of Zhan Shi's mansion also came.
Including several doctors who were beaten.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help feeling a little flustered, thinking that the last time something like this happened, his father must have been disappointed in Zhu Zhanji.
He bowed down anxiously, and said in his mouth: "I have not been able to meet you far away, please forgive my father."
Zhu Di ignored him.
Crown Princess Zhang said: "My daughter-in-law has seen Your Majesty."
Zhu Di nodded at her, "Yeah."
All the people in Zhan Shi's house bowed down one after another.
Zhu Di saw several doctors who were almost brought here, and these people saluted with difficulty.
With a thought, Zhu Di walked up to one of the doctors: "I rewarded you with a whip, you won't hold grudges, will you?"
The doctor's name is Zheng Lun, and he hurriedly said: "I don't dare. The emperor's grandson will do whatever he wants. This is the result of my failure to discipline him properly. I am so ashamed that I am still reflecting on it."
Zhu Di stared at Zheng Lun: "The grandson of the emperor will do whatever he wants?"
Zheng Lun said: "Insulting the minister, and... bombing... bombing... the ministers are really guilty of death, but your majesty, the emperor's grandson is still young, and he made thousands of mistakes. The ministers have no way to teach them. Afterwards, the ministers must take this as a warning and never teach such a thing to happen again."
Zhu Di's eyes gradually turned cold: "It seems that you don't agree with this matter! What have you taught the emperor and grandson?"
Just kidding, how dare you agree with this.
Zheng Lun hurriedly said: "It's all the way of Confucius and Mencius, as well as the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period..."
Zhu Di said, "Have you taught anything else?"
Because Zheng Lun bowed to the ground, the wound on his back hurt badly, and he grinned and said: "Your Majesty, please learn from me, I will never dare to cross the threshold."
This means that although they are also responsible for what happened to the emperor's grandson, there will never be any problems with what they teach.
Zhu Di was a little astonished: "I don't believe it, didn't you teach him other things in normal times and after school?"
Zheng Lun was almost scared out of his wits.
To be honest, in Zheng Lun's eyes, the Emperor Yongle in front of him was actually not much different from Emperor Taizu Gao, they were both ruthless anyway.
The emperor's grandson caused some trouble, and they were arrested and beaten. They are also great Confucian scholars after all, so they are not treated as Confucian scholars at all.
Now His Majesty repeatedly cross-examines, isn't this clearly to find his fault?Maybe, if he found something wrong, he was arrested and beheaded!
The more Zheng Lun thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he said tremblingly: "No, no, absolutely not, I guarantee it with my head."
The next few doctors also said: "Yes, absolutely not."
Zhu Di was thoughtful.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi said, "Father, the doctors have been doing their best. This time...Zhanji is messing around. You should not blame them. If you want to blame, you can only blame the minister for not being able to teach well."
Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaochi and said, "Shut up!"
Zhu Gaochi remained silent. In his opinion, the emperor's mood was volatile, and he couldn't guess what his father was thinking.
At this moment, Zhang Anshi was seen hurriedly leading Zhu Zhanji.
As soon as Zhu Di saw Zhu Zhanji, his anger disappeared immediately, and joy flashed across his eyes.
Looking at Zhang Anshi again...but he felt a little unhappy again.
This guy...not staying at the ferry, he is idle all day long!
It seems that 57 taels have disappeared from the account recently...
Although Zhu Zhanji is a small man, he has learned etiquette very well. When he came to Zhu Di, he saluted politely and said: "Sun Chen has seen the emperor's grandfather."
Zhu Zhanji was timid in his heart, and he couldn't help but be a little cautious in saluting.
A smile suddenly overflowed Zhu Di's face, he hugged Zhu Zhanji, and said: "Let Grandpa Huang see you, haha, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are thinner than before. Why, someone is starving you?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "Sun Chen is not hungry."
Zhu Di said: "I come to ask you, why do you call He Liuwen a traitor?"
Zhu Zhanji glanced at Zhang Anshi subconsciously.
The Crown Princess Zhang was listening and broke into a sweat.
Zhu Zhanji can say this, but if Zhu Zhanji confessed that it was taught by her brother, the meaning would be different.
The next moment, Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "I think he is a traitor."
"Hahaha..." Zhu Di laughed even more heartily.
Seeing Zhu Di laughing, everyone was at a loss. Some people thought that His Majesty seemed to be overdoing it. In the homes of ordinary people, such a brat would be beaten to death.
I saw Zhu Di asked again: "Then I come to ask you, what is a traitor?"
Zhu Zhanji tilted his head and thought for a while, and said: "On weekdays, he is noble and always brags about himself, but in fact he always revolves around the emperor's grandfather and father. And...and..."
The joy in Zhu Di's eyes grew more and more, and he continued to urge: "What else is there, just say it."
Zhu Zhanji said: "Also... There is also the fact that you know people, know the face, but don't know the heart, always praise the emperor's grandfather and father, give you a high hat, and hope that the emperor's grandfather and father will make a decision that is beneficial to them... and... ..."
Zhu Di's body shook.
If it is said that before, there were some children's Tongyan Wuji, but the following sentence... is definitely not spoken by ordinary children.
Zhu Di is no better than other emperors, he has his own set of judgments on things, seeing Zhu Zhanji's serious face at this time, Zhu Di was full of surprises.
Zhu Gaochi was terrified, and hurriedly said: "Zhu Zhanji, don't hold back your words in front of the emperor's grandfather."
Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaochi angrily and said, "Shut up, do you have a place to speak here?"
After all, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji again, and his voice softened again: "Say it, keep talking, don't worry, I will forgive you for everything you say. Come and tell Grandpa Huang, why do you think you know people? Know the face but not the heart."
Zhu Zhanji thought about it again, and said: "For example, some people eat something, which is obviously delicious, but tell you that it is very delicious. I think...there should be many such people in the world. "
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Zhu Di was overjoyed: "Haha, you child... um... I'll ask you again, since many people know people and face but don't know their heart, what should we do?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "Then you can't be a fool. Only when you know the truth can you tell the authenticity of a person, just like eating food. You have to eat it yourself to know whether it is delicious or not. You only hear people say it’s not tasty, but that person eats it like a glutton, how can you tell the difference?”
Zhu Di was ecstatic in his heart, and the hand holding Zhu Zhanji couldn't help trembling.
This is just a five or six-year-old child.
Seeing the problem so profoundly, this is what a real emperor should know.
If not, what is the use of only knowing benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness!
Zhu Di happily said: "Good boy, good boy..."
Zhu Zhanji's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "Grandpa Huang, why are you crying?"
Zhu Di shook his head: "You bastard, how could I cry!"
Zhu Zhanji said with concern: "Is the wind and sand blinding your eyes, I'll blow it for you."
"No need." Zhu Di freed up a hand and rubbed his eyes.
Maybe when he is old, Zhu Di has an indescribable warmth when looking at his grandson.
But Zhu Di said again: "Just relying on this, can you tell whether a person is good or bad?"
Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said: "It's not just that, Grandpa Huang, you are confused. I was just making an analogy. To really tell the difference between good and bad, you need to listen, think, and watch more..."
Zhu Di chewed these six words carefully.
These words, if an adult has this sentiment, it is actually nothing.
But if it comes from the mouth of such a big child, it will be completely different.
Moreover, Zhu Zhanji said it very seriously, obviously thinking that these six words are very meaningful.
Zhu Di stared at Zhu Zhanji: "Who taught you this?"
Seeing that Zhu Di's face suddenly became serious.
Zhu Zhanji was taken aback.
Everyone's heart jumped into their throats.
Zhu Di said again: "Tell me, who taught you this?"
Zhu Zhanji hesitated just now, but Zhu Di asked again. After all, Zhu Zhanji was just a child, so he was frightened and said timidly: "This... this is not taught by my uncle."
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Zhang Anshi's heart was overwhelmed.
Zhu Di looked deeply at Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi was so frightened that he dodged his eyes.
Zhu Di hugged Zhu Zhanji down, and only stroked the top of Zhu Zhanji's head soothingly.
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "Father..."
Zhu Di shook his head, he seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while, Zhu Di walked towards Zheng Lun first, and said: "Dr. Zheng, you are the teacher of the emperor's grandson, come and tell me, how is my emperor's grandson?"
Zheng Lun hurriedly said: "The emperor's grandson is smart, ordinary people can't match it, it's just...it's just that sometimes you can't help but have the temperament of a child, and you can be easily influenced by others."
"Influenced by whom?"
Zheng Lun said: "I dare not say."
Zhu Di nodded, then looked at Zhang, and said, "Crown Princess, you have worked hard in the East Palace on weekdays."
Mrs. Zhang was calm, and said: "I am ashamed of my daughter-in-law for raising her respectfully, so why bother?"
Zhu Di stared at her and said, "The emperor's grandson just said that, what do you think?"
Mrs. Zhang pondered: "If the emperor's grandson is the child of ordinary people, if he said these words, the minister's daughter-in-law will severely reprimand him, and let him be a friendly, upright and non-controversial person."
Zhu Di immediately continued: "Then if he is my grandson, will he succeed in the future?"
Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "Then my daughter-in-law will tell him that there are some things that you can think in your heart, but you can't say them. Some things won't work when you say them. But the child is still young after all, so you can say it if you say it." , as a parent, you have to laugh it off."
Zhu Di laughed, and said, "It's good to just laugh it off."
Zhu Di immediately looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Don't you have any serious business in your mother's day? You hang out with a child all day long."
Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is my nephew, my own nephew, why do you call it a gangster?"
Zhu Di said, "Hmph, but what you taught him makes sense."
How reasonable...
Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief.
But Zheng Lun was in a hurry, how could he tell a child what the emperor's grandson said just now?
And... didn't the evil result appear?The emperor's grandson actually directly accused the ministers of being traitors, and even caused them to be whipped for nothing.
Out of responsibility, Zheng Lun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't take this seriously. What Zhang Anshi taught is really sensational. The emperor's grandson is still a child. Has Your Majesty forgotten He Liuwen's lesson?"
"He Liuwen?" Zhu Di glanced sideways at Zheng Lun.
This time Zheng Lun was a lot tougher, facing Sheng Yan directly.
Zhu Di said casually: "Of course I have not forgotten him, and it seems that the Qing family has not forgotten him either. If the Qing family has not forgotten him, they can go to the underworld to meet him."
Hell……
Zheng Lun was shocked.
Zhu Di said: "This person's crime is extremely heinous, he deceived the emperor, and his conspiracy was exposed. I have already planned to kill him all over the house!"
Zheng Lun: "..."
"For such a treacherous minister, it is fortunate that the emperor's grandson scolded him and let him out for me, which made me feel a little bit of comfort. Why, what else do you have to say?"
Zheng Lun: "..."
Zhu Di sneered and said: "Don't feel wronged, don't feel resentful because you have been punished. I punished you not because the emperor's grandson scolded He Liuwen, but because...you are always teaching the way of benevolence and justice, what kind of bullshit? Benevolence and righteousness? Then He Liuwen is talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and isn't he talking about benefiting the common people!"
"But what kind of person is he? This person is worse than a pig or a dog, and a jackal! Do you still want to teach my grandson to be like him? Tell me, should you beat him?"
Zheng Lun's face turned red at this moment.
Dare to fight anyway, I played well this time, right?
Leaving aside the facts, is there nothing wrong with your surname Zhu?
Zhu Gaochi was also shocked. He Liuwen was convicted, which was beyond his expectation.
Zhu Gaochi said: "Dare to ask my father, what crime did He Liuwen commit?"
Zhu Di said: "Collude with the Hu family of Annan, kill all the family members of the Annan country, help the Hu family of Annan to usurp the throne, and get a lot of benefits from the Hu family, but deceive the court and speak well for the Hu family, are you Prince, come and tell me, what is his crime?"
Zhu Gaochi was taken aback. In his impression, He Liuwen was a good person. Whether it was his speech or manner, he gave people the feeling of a modest gentleman. At the beginning, his impression of He Liuwen was very good.
And at this time, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but start to be afraid. If it wasn't because of Zhu Zhanji's trouble, I'm afraid he would have to reuse this person. In addition, this person has a close relationship with him. Once this person's incident happens, his father will how to think?
Zhu Di ignored Zhu Gaochi again, picked Zhu Zhanji up again, and went straight into the East Palace.
After sitting down, he put Zhu Zhanji on his lap, and Zhu Di smiled and said to Zhu Zhanji: "You boy, you will definitely be able to prosper my family business in the future, haha, come and tell me, do you still want to follow Zheng Lun?" A few people study, if they don't want to, I will dismiss these people."
Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said, "Sun Chen thinks."
Zhu Di asked in surprise, "Why? Do you like these masters?"
"If Sun Chen wants not to be deceived by others, he must understand what everyone thinks in his heart. Just like Master Zheng Lun, Sun Chen can know what these scholars think when they study with them. In the future, people like them You can't fool Sun Chen."
Zhu Di laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes: "This is what Zhang Anshi taught you, right?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "Yes."
Zhu Di said with emotion: "You uncle, you are quite capable. You must keep his words in mind. After a few years, when you grow up, I will take you to the desert, so that you can really learn a lot."
Zhu Zhanji readily agreed.
Touching Zhu Zhanji's back, Zhu Di felt very relieved.
When it was getting late, Zhu Zhanji was a little sleepy, so someone hugged Zhu Zhanji to rest.
Zhu Di summoned Zhang Anshi to him, and said, "You kid, you really have a stomach full of bad water."
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty wrongly blamed the minister, and the minister is actually afraid that the emperor's grandson will be deceived."
"Yeah." Zhu Di nodded and nodded: "You are right. This time, I will remember your credit."
As he said that, Zhu Di originally wanted to ask about the 57 grains of silver.
But thinking that Zhang Anshi had already earned so much money for his family, it was not easy for him to question his teacher, so he urged Zhang Anshi to say: "Stay guard at the ferry, it's not impossible to come to the East Palace, but you can't take a stroll often, you are too old Be an adult, don't act like a child."
Zhang Anshi simply said: "Yes."
Zhu Di got up and drove back to the palace.
Back in the palace, Zhu Di suddenly took a few steps with his hands behind his back, and looked back in disbelief: "Prince Princess... is a remarkable woman."
Yi Shiha was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect His Majesty to say these words suddenly, he smiled and said: "Yes, the Crown Princess is very knowledgeable."
Zhu Di shook his head and said earnestly: "It's not as simple as knowing the general. If this woman is a man, she is much better than my three sons. Hey, why did I have three such sons?"
……
The next day, the edict was promulgated, and the imperial court was about to launch troops against Annan.
As soon as this edict came out, the court and the public were shaken.
But when you understand the whole story, everyone can understand it.
It's not about what happened in An Nanguo.
But Cao Cao in Annan Kingdom dared to fool Daming.
No matter in terms of morality, maintenance of the Ming Dynasty's tributary system, or even the future strategy of the entire Ming Dynasty, this battle is imminent, and there is no room for discussion at all.
At the moment, several governors of the five armies' governor's mansions have come to see them.
In the process of regular discussion, playing and drawing up battle plans, marching routes, and recruiting various troops and horses.
Zhu Di discovered a terrible problem.
Whether it was food, horse feed, gunpowder, or swords and halberds, for Daming, he was quite prepared.
This is actually understandable, Zhu Di is a war lunatic, he has been preparing for the future sweep of the desert, so in the arsenal, there are enough materials for a big war.
But after everyone analyzed Annan's situation in detail, Xu Huizu pointed out that there is now the biggest gap in the military for tung oil.
Without tung oil, the ordnance cannot be properly maintained, especially in the humid and rainy environment of Annan, the weapons are easily rusted.Gunpowder is also very easy to get wet, so waterproof and rust-proof has become a huge problem.
In addition, after the Ming army enters Annan, it is bound to need to establish supply stations in various rivers. If the mighty army crosses mountains and ridges, it will suffer great losses. Build a large number of warehouses, courier shops, and ships for military supplies.
All of these require a large amount of tung oil loss, and the amount of loss is extremely alarming. In addition, the court did not realize that Annan needed troops at the beginning, and all the war preparations were headed for the desert.
At this time... I had to rush to collect tung oil.
The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is still careless.
Apparently, someone has started to get wind of it, and tung oil rose sharply in response.
In the market, some tung oil shops originally provided retail sales, but now they are reluctant to sell them.
In this world, when all fools know that something is going to be very valuable, and...at least there will be a shortage for a long time to come, then...someone must start eyeing it.
And the people who can keep an eye on this thing are either rich or expensive, and they are all people with a keen sense of smell and superb skills.
"Your Majesty...there is no tung oil in the market." Xu Huizu said: "I ordered people to requisition, but...all the tung oil merchants said they were out of stock, and many people...have secretly started to store the tung oil , wanting to requisition, there is a lot of resistance."
Zhu Di was furious: "Isn't it possible for the imperial court to buy it at the market price?"
Several governors of the five armies' governor's mansion were dumbfounded.
It's not their fault, they are good at marching, organizing soldiers, or dispatching military supplies.
But it is impossible for them to play tricks with businessmen.
"It's really not possible." Zhu Di sneered and said, "At worst, use Jinyiwei to search for tung oil, I don't believe it..."
Yao Guangxiao on the side frowned, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, absolutely not, not to mention... Relying on this kind of search and copying is just a drop in the bucket, and once this is done, people's hearts will definitely be shaken. What's more, once you start searching and copying, you don't want to tell people in the world that this tung oil is priceless, I'm afraid, this will increase the price of tung oil even more."
Yao Guangxiao didn't say anything.
Dare to hoard tung oil quietly at this time, pointing to those who make a fortune, these people are not fuel-efficient lamps, otherwise how could they be so well-informed?
These people... If you deal with one or two, it doesn't matter if they kill their three clans, if you kill them, you will kill them.
The problem is, it's not one person, it's a group.
The war is imminent. At this time, tung oil has caused a bloody storm. This is by no means a good sign.
With his hands behind his back, Zhu Di was extremely angry, but he is also a person who knows the severity.
Knowing that rough methods like Emperor Jianwen's will not work.
Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and pondered, he suddenly remembered something...
But at this moment, a eunuch suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Cheng Enbo asks to see you."
Zhu Di glanced at Yao Guangxiao and the governors of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, and nodded, "Xuan come in."
For some reason, Qiu Fu always felt that whenever Zhang Anshi was involved, Xu Huizu's eyes would secretly glance at him.
This made Qiu Fu feel very sick.
But...he could only pretend not to know.
After a moment.
Zhang Anshi entered the hall and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."
Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi and said, "Why did Zhang Qing come here?"
Zhang Anshi said: "The battle is imminent. I heard that the army is short of tung oil."
He went straight to the point.
Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and Xu Huizu looked at each other.
Zhu Di said, "Go on."
Zhang Anshi said: "Fortunately, I have stockpiled some tung oil at Qixia Ferry, and I am willing to support the needs of the army."
All of a sudden, Zhu Neng and the others were overjoyed.
Zhang Anshi said again: "This was bought by my minister at the beginning. I don't know if your majesty knows about it."
Zhu Di and Zhu Neng, who were still smiling a moment ago, couldn't smile anymore.
Dare to feel that this is military funding funded by myself.
However, this piece of Anshi is very powerful. He had hoarded a large amount of tung oil in advance, and now... instead, he solved the urgent need of the imperial court.
Zhu Di cheered up and stared at Zhang Anshi: "How much can you give?"
"I have calculated that if I use troops this year, the amount of tung oil needed to extract new tung oil in the coming year should be [-] stones of tung oil, which is barely enough. If it is not enough, the imperial court will find a way to recruit some from other places. It should not be enough. problem, so I would like to offer tung oil one hundred thousand stones."
The governors of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion were all horrified.
They roughly calculated that the army needs at least [-] to [-] tung oil to support a one-year war.
For this piece of An Shi, one person took out [-] stones, plus a small amount of reserves in the army, and some other methods, it should be enough.
Zhu Di was overjoyed, but then he felt a little annoyed: "Really? Zhang Qing really relieved the country's worries. This merit alone is a great achievement. If this battle can be successful, Xu Qing's family..."
Zhu Di looked at Xu Huizu and said, "Do you think Zhang Qing has made great contributions to the dynasty?"
Xu Huizu said: "With enough tung oil, the army can be dispatched. The so-called soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are used. Your Majesty... Cheng Enbo's contribution is indispensable."
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Okay, Zhang Qing shared the country's worries, this credit book must be recorded well, and this matter will be handled by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies."
"However..." At this time, Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "I also have some unfeeling requests."
(End of this chapter)
Zhu Zhanji leaned on Zhang Anshi, feeling a little confused.
He thought for a while and said, "So to be an emperor, do you have to go around? Only then can seeing be believing."
Zhang Anshi looked at the little guy's thirsty look, and a sincere smile appeared on his lips.
Zhu Zhanji is indeed a smart kid, much better than his peers.
Zhang Anshi said patiently: "Seeing is believing is not to say that you have to see everything with your own eyes, but you must be familiar with the affairs of the world. You have to know about scholars, farmers, businessmen, how they live, and what they rely on for a living. You also need to know what people of the three religions and nine streams look like, and their living conditions. In addition, there are differences in the situation in different places, and why these differences occur. You have seen these with your own eyes and learned about different people. Living conditions, knowing what they are worried about, at this time, seeing is believing!"
"In this way, you will have the ability to distinguish between true and false, and you will be able to know how much water is in the memorials that have been uploaded, which ones are worthy of trust, and which ones are not worthy of trust."
Zhu Zhanji suddenly realized, and said in a childlike voice: "It turns out that being an emperor is so simple, as long as you understand the truth."
Zhang Anshi couldn't help laughing: "The easiest thing in this world is to understand the truth, but the hardest thing is also to understand the truth."
Zhu Zhanji asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Because people are so close to each other, everyone may deceive you for various reasons, except uncle, who only loves you."
Zhu Zhanji stared at a pair of big black eyes and said, "But why did they lie to me?"
Zhang Anshi said: "It's because they can benefit from you."
Zhu Zhanji was thoughtful: "I understand, I have to beware of someone lying to me."
He thought about it carefully, and said again: "If you say it this way, isn't father very confused? He can easily trust others!"
Zhang Anshi was silent for a while, and then said: "Belief in others is also a virtue, but... sometimes it is not a fault to trust others."
Zhu Zhanji pouted and said, "You've said all the good things."
Zhang Anshi touched Zhu Zhanji's head and said: "This is called the way of being a minister. The way of being a minister is to be the emperor's sage anyway. This is also something you need to be vigilant about, because some people will treat you like a brother-in-law. coaxing you, giving you all kinds of high hats of benevolence and benevolence, and letting you make decisions that are beneficial to them! Song Renzong, do you know? Anyone with the word benevolence in their posthumous titles is often praised by others, But in fact... I don’t think they are any different from Hunjun.”
Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said, "But the masters say Song Renzong is very good!"
Zhang Anshi sneered and said: "When he was in power, Xixia was established, and the imperial court sent a large amount of old coins to Xixia and Liao every year from the treasury. Land annexation was serious. Is this also called benevolence? It's like someone robbed you You have to obediently give this man money every year, and the money you give is obtained from your relatives."
Then, Zhang Anshi's face showed a look of sarcasm, and said: "If you send New Year coins to the Liao Kingdom, that's fine. It's just like that in Xixia. The so-called peace talks can be called the so-called Wenzhi. You think this is ridiculous." Not ridiculous!"
After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help saying, "But why do everyone say he is good?"
Zhang Anshidao: "So this is the crux of the problem, because anyone, especially the emperor, even if it is the most stupid thing, there will be people who will profit from it, and some people will suffer. For example, giving old coins, The money in the old coin is tax income. Anyway, it is the money of the treasury. What does it have to do with ordinary people? But because of the gift of the old coin, there will be no wars, so a large number of people can stay on the land to cultivate , which will naturally be of great benefit to those who own a great deal of land."
"There is also annexation of land. This annexation of land, although many people have to be reduced to tenants and slaves, but the land of the annexer has increased. How can he not think of others?"
Zhang Anshi continued: "So in the future, if someone flatters you, don't be complacent, but think about why these people flatter you. And if someone scolds you quietly, don't rush to feel ashamed. Instead, you should think about why these people scold you. Don’t be emotional in everything, listen more, think more, and watch more.”
Zhang Anshi treated Zhu Zhanji attentively and patiently, breaking things up for him little by little, allowing him to understand slowly.
Zhu Zhanji was also lost in thought.
But at this moment, a eunuch came in a hurry and said in a hurry: "Quick, quick, Your Majesty is here, His Royal Highness, hurry up and meet him."
Zhu Zhanji shuddered, thinking of something, panicked all over, and couldn't help saying: "The emperor's grandfather is here, it's over, the emperor's grandfather must have come to question the crime."
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is nothing in this matter that cannot be solved by crying, making trouble and hanging himself."
After all, the two dared not neglect, so they hurriedly followed the eunuch to meet him.
Here in Zhan Shi's mansion, the prince and princess have already heard the news, and hurried to pick him up.
All the princes and officials of Zhan Shi's mansion also came.
Including several doctors who were beaten.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help feeling a little flustered, thinking that the last time something like this happened, his father must have been disappointed in Zhu Zhanji.
He bowed down anxiously, and said in his mouth: "I have not been able to meet you far away, please forgive my father."
Zhu Di ignored him.
Crown Princess Zhang said: "My daughter-in-law has seen Your Majesty."
Zhu Di nodded at her, "Yeah."
All the people in Zhan Shi's house bowed down one after another.
Zhu Di saw several doctors who were almost brought here, and these people saluted with difficulty.
With a thought, Zhu Di walked up to one of the doctors: "I rewarded you with a whip, you won't hold grudges, will you?"
The doctor's name is Zheng Lun, and he hurriedly said: "I don't dare. The emperor's grandson will do whatever he wants. This is the result of my failure to discipline him properly. I am so ashamed that I am still reflecting on it."
Zhu Di stared at Zheng Lun: "The grandson of the emperor will do whatever he wants?"
Zheng Lun said: "Insulting the minister, and... bombing... bombing... the ministers are really guilty of death, but your majesty, the emperor's grandson is still young, and he made thousands of mistakes. The ministers have no way to teach them. Afterwards, the ministers must take this as a warning and never teach such a thing to happen again."
Zhu Di's eyes gradually turned cold: "It seems that you don't agree with this matter! What have you taught the emperor and grandson?"
Just kidding, how dare you agree with this.
Zheng Lun hurriedly said: "It's all the way of Confucius and Mencius, as well as the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period..."
Zhu Di said, "Have you taught anything else?"
Because Zheng Lun bowed to the ground, the wound on his back hurt badly, and he grinned and said: "Your Majesty, please learn from me, I will never dare to cross the threshold."
This means that although they are also responsible for what happened to the emperor's grandson, there will never be any problems with what they teach.
Zhu Di was a little astonished: "I don't believe it, didn't you teach him other things in normal times and after school?"
Zheng Lun was almost scared out of his wits.
To be honest, in Zheng Lun's eyes, the Emperor Yongle in front of him was actually not much different from Emperor Taizu Gao, they were both ruthless anyway.
The emperor's grandson caused some trouble, and they were arrested and beaten. They are also great Confucian scholars after all, so they are not treated as Confucian scholars at all.
Now His Majesty repeatedly cross-examines, isn't this clearly to find his fault?Maybe, if he found something wrong, he was arrested and beheaded!
The more Zheng Lun thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he said tremblingly: "No, no, absolutely not, I guarantee it with my head."
The next few doctors also said: "Yes, absolutely not."
Zhu Di was thoughtful.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi said, "Father, the doctors have been doing their best. This time...Zhanji is messing around. You should not blame them. If you want to blame, you can only blame the minister for not being able to teach well."
Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaochi and said, "Shut up!"
Zhu Gaochi remained silent. In his opinion, the emperor's mood was volatile, and he couldn't guess what his father was thinking.
At this moment, Zhang Anshi was seen hurriedly leading Zhu Zhanji.
As soon as Zhu Di saw Zhu Zhanji, his anger disappeared immediately, and joy flashed across his eyes.
Looking at Zhang Anshi again...but he felt a little unhappy again.
This guy...not staying at the ferry, he is idle all day long!
It seems that 57 taels have disappeared from the account recently...
Although Zhu Zhanji is a small man, he has learned etiquette very well. When he came to Zhu Di, he saluted politely and said: "Sun Chen has seen the emperor's grandfather."
Zhu Zhanji was timid in his heart, and he couldn't help but be a little cautious in saluting.
A smile suddenly overflowed Zhu Di's face, he hugged Zhu Zhanji, and said: "Let Grandpa Huang see you, haha, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are thinner than before. Why, someone is starving you?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "Sun Chen is not hungry."
Zhu Di said: "I come to ask you, why do you call He Liuwen a traitor?"
Zhu Zhanji glanced at Zhang Anshi subconsciously.
The Crown Princess Zhang was listening and broke into a sweat.
Zhu Zhanji can say this, but if Zhu Zhanji confessed that it was taught by her brother, the meaning would be different.
The next moment, Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "I think he is a traitor."
"Hahaha..." Zhu Di laughed even more heartily.
Seeing Zhu Di laughing, everyone was at a loss. Some people thought that His Majesty seemed to be overdoing it. In the homes of ordinary people, such a brat would be beaten to death.
I saw Zhu Di asked again: "Then I come to ask you, what is a traitor?"
Zhu Zhanji tilted his head and thought for a while, and said: "On weekdays, he is noble and always brags about himself, but in fact he always revolves around the emperor's grandfather and father. And...and..."
The joy in Zhu Di's eyes grew more and more, and he continued to urge: "What else is there, just say it."
Zhu Zhanji said: "Also... There is also the fact that you know people, know the face, but don't know the heart, always praise the emperor's grandfather and father, give you a high hat, and hope that the emperor's grandfather and father will make a decision that is beneficial to them... and... ..."
Zhu Di's body shook.
If it is said that before, there were some children's Tongyan Wuji, but the following sentence... is definitely not spoken by ordinary children.
Zhu Di is no better than other emperors, he has his own set of judgments on things, seeing Zhu Zhanji's serious face at this time, Zhu Di was full of surprises.
Zhu Gaochi was terrified, and hurriedly said: "Zhu Zhanji, don't hold back your words in front of the emperor's grandfather."
Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaochi angrily and said, "Shut up, do you have a place to speak here?"
After all, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji again, and his voice softened again: "Say it, keep talking, don't worry, I will forgive you for everything you say. Come and tell Grandpa Huang, why do you think you know people? Know the face but not the heart."
Zhu Zhanji thought about it again, and said: "For example, some people eat something, which is obviously delicious, but tell you that it is very delicious. I think...there should be many such people in the world. "
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Zhu Di was overjoyed: "Haha, you child... um... I'll ask you again, since many people know people and face but don't know their heart, what should we do?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "Then you can't be a fool. Only when you know the truth can you tell the authenticity of a person, just like eating food. You have to eat it yourself to know whether it is delicious or not. You only hear people say it’s not tasty, but that person eats it like a glutton, how can you tell the difference?”
Zhu Di was ecstatic in his heart, and the hand holding Zhu Zhanji couldn't help trembling.
This is just a five or six-year-old child.
Seeing the problem so profoundly, this is what a real emperor should know.
If not, what is the use of only knowing benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness!
Zhu Di happily said: "Good boy, good boy..."
Zhu Zhanji's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "Grandpa Huang, why are you crying?"
Zhu Di shook his head: "You bastard, how could I cry!"
Zhu Zhanji said with concern: "Is the wind and sand blinding your eyes, I'll blow it for you."
"No need." Zhu Di freed up a hand and rubbed his eyes.
Maybe when he is old, Zhu Di has an indescribable warmth when looking at his grandson.
But Zhu Di said again: "Just relying on this, can you tell whether a person is good or bad?"
Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said: "It's not just that, Grandpa Huang, you are confused. I was just making an analogy. To really tell the difference between good and bad, you need to listen, think, and watch more..."
Zhu Di chewed these six words carefully.
These words, if an adult has this sentiment, it is actually nothing.
But if it comes from the mouth of such a big child, it will be completely different.
Moreover, Zhu Zhanji said it very seriously, obviously thinking that these six words are very meaningful.
Zhu Di stared at Zhu Zhanji: "Who taught you this?"
Seeing that Zhu Di's face suddenly became serious.
Zhu Zhanji was taken aback.
Everyone's heart jumped into their throats.
Zhu Di said again: "Tell me, who taught you this?"
Zhu Zhanji hesitated just now, but Zhu Di asked again. After all, Zhu Zhanji was just a child, so he was frightened and said timidly: "This... this is not taught by my uncle."
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Zhang Anshi's heart was overwhelmed.
Zhu Di looked deeply at Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi was so frightened that he dodged his eyes.
Zhu Di hugged Zhu Zhanji down, and only stroked the top of Zhu Zhanji's head soothingly.
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "Father..."
Zhu Di shook his head, he seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while, Zhu Di walked towards Zheng Lun first, and said: "Dr. Zheng, you are the teacher of the emperor's grandson, come and tell me, how is my emperor's grandson?"
Zheng Lun hurriedly said: "The emperor's grandson is smart, ordinary people can't match it, it's just...it's just that sometimes you can't help but have the temperament of a child, and you can be easily influenced by others."
"Influenced by whom?"
Zheng Lun said: "I dare not say."
Zhu Di nodded, then looked at Zhang, and said, "Crown Princess, you have worked hard in the East Palace on weekdays."
Mrs. Zhang was calm, and said: "I am ashamed of my daughter-in-law for raising her respectfully, so why bother?"
Zhu Di stared at her and said, "The emperor's grandson just said that, what do you think?"
Mrs. Zhang pondered: "If the emperor's grandson is the child of ordinary people, if he said these words, the minister's daughter-in-law will severely reprimand him, and let him be a friendly, upright and non-controversial person."
Zhu Di immediately continued: "Then if he is my grandson, will he succeed in the future?"
Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "Then my daughter-in-law will tell him that there are some things that you can think in your heart, but you can't say them. Some things won't work when you say them. But the child is still young after all, so you can say it if you say it." , as a parent, you have to laugh it off."
Zhu Di laughed, and said, "It's good to just laugh it off."
Zhu Di immediately looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Don't you have any serious business in your mother's day? You hang out with a child all day long."
Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is my nephew, my own nephew, why do you call it a gangster?"
Zhu Di said, "Hmph, but what you taught him makes sense."
How reasonable...
Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief.
But Zheng Lun was in a hurry, how could he tell a child what the emperor's grandson said just now?
And... didn't the evil result appear?The emperor's grandson actually directly accused the ministers of being traitors, and even caused them to be whipped for nothing.
Out of responsibility, Zheng Lun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't take this seriously. What Zhang Anshi taught is really sensational. The emperor's grandson is still a child. Has Your Majesty forgotten He Liuwen's lesson?"
"He Liuwen?" Zhu Di glanced sideways at Zheng Lun.
This time Zheng Lun was a lot tougher, facing Sheng Yan directly.
Zhu Di said casually: "Of course I have not forgotten him, and it seems that the Qing family has not forgotten him either. If the Qing family has not forgotten him, they can go to the underworld to meet him."
Hell……
Zheng Lun was shocked.
Zhu Di said: "This person's crime is extremely heinous, he deceived the emperor, and his conspiracy was exposed. I have already planned to kill him all over the house!"
Zheng Lun: "..."
"For such a treacherous minister, it is fortunate that the emperor's grandson scolded him and let him out for me, which made me feel a little bit of comfort. Why, what else do you have to say?"
Zheng Lun: "..."
Zhu Di sneered and said: "Don't feel wronged, don't feel resentful because you have been punished. I punished you not because the emperor's grandson scolded He Liuwen, but because...you are always teaching the way of benevolence and justice, what kind of bullshit? Benevolence and righteousness? Then He Liuwen is talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and isn't he talking about benefiting the common people!"
"But what kind of person is he? This person is worse than a pig or a dog, and a jackal! Do you still want to teach my grandson to be like him? Tell me, should you beat him?"
Zheng Lun's face turned red at this moment.
Dare to fight anyway, I played well this time, right?
Leaving aside the facts, is there nothing wrong with your surname Zhu?
Zhu Gaochi was also shocked. He Liuwen was convicted, which was beyond his expectation.
Zhu Gaochi said: "Dare to ask my father, what crime did He Liuwen commit?"
Zhu Di said: "Collude with the Hu family of Annan, kill all the family members of the Annan country, help the Hu family of Annan to usurp the throne, and get a lot of benefits from the Hu family, but deceive the court and speak well for the Hu family, are you Prince, come and tell me, what is his crime?"
Zhu Gaochi was taken aback. In his impression, He Liuwen was a good person. Whether it was his speech or manner, he gave people the feeling of a modest gentleman. At the beginning, his impression of He Liuwen was very good.
And at this time, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but start to be afraid. If it wasn't because of Zhu Zhanji's trouble, I'm afraid he would have to reuse this person. In addition, this person has a close relationship with him. Once this person's incident happens, his father will how to think?
Zhu Di ignored Zhu Gaochi again, picked Zhu Zhanji up again, and went straight into the East Palace.
After sitting down, he put Zhu Zhanji on his lap, and Zhu Di smiled and said to Zhu Zhanji: "You boy, you will definitely be able to prosper my family business in the future, haha, come and tell me, do you still want to follow Zheng Lun?" A few people study, if they don't want to, I will dismiss these people."
Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said, "Sun Chen thinks."
Zhu Di asked in surprise, "Why? Do you like these masters?"
"If Sun Chen wants not to be deceived by others, he must understand what everyone thinks in his heart. Just like Master Zheng Lun, Sun Chen can know what these scholars think when they study with them. In the future, people like them You can't fool Sun Chen."
Zhu Di laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes: "This is what Zhang Anshi taught you, right?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "Yes."
Zhu Di said with emotion: "You uncle, you are quite capable. You must keep his words in mind. After a few years, when you grow up, I will take you to the desert, so that you can really learn a lot."
Zhu Zhanji readily agreed.
Touching Zhu Zhanji's back, Zhu Di felt very relieved.
When it was getting late, Zhu Zhanji was a little sleepy, so someone hugged Zhu Zhanji to rest.
Zhu Di summoned Zhang Anshi to him, and said, "You kid, you really have a stomach full of bad water."
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty wrongly blamed the minister, and the minister is actually afraid that the emperor's grandson will be deceived."
"Yeah." Zhu Di nodded and nodded: "You are right. This time, I will remember your credit."
As he said that, Zhu Di originally wanted to ask about the 57 grains of silver.
But thinking that Zhang Anshi had already earned so much money for his family, it was not easy for him to question his teacher, so he urged Zhang Anshi to say: "Stay guard at the ferry, it's not impossible to come to the East Palace, but you can't take a stroll often, you are too old Be an adult, don't act like a child."
Zhang Anshi simply said: "Yes."
Zhu Di got up and drove back to the palace.
Back in the palace, Zhu Di suddenly took a few steps with his hands behind his back, and looked back in disbelief: "Prince Princess... is a remarkable woman."
Yi Shiha was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect His Majesty to say these words suddenly, he smiled and said: "Yes, the Crown Princess is very knowledgeable."
Zhu Di shook his head and said earnestly: "It's not as simple as knowing the general. If this woman is a man, she is much better than my three sons. Hey, why did I have three such sons?"
……
The next day, the edict was promulgated, and the imperial court was about to launch troops against Annan.
As soon as this edict came out, the court and the public were shaken.
But when you understand the whole story, everyone can understand it.
It's not about what happened in An Nanguo.
But Cao Cao in Annan Kingdom dared to fool Daming.
No matter in terms of morality, maintenance of the Ming Dynasty's tributary system, or even the future strategy of the entire Ming Dynasty, this battle is imminent, and there is no room for discussion at all.
At the moment, several governors of the five armies' governor's mansions have come to see them.
In the process of regular discussion, playing and drawing up battle plans, marching routes, and recruiting various troops and horses.
Zhu Di discovered a terrible problem.
Whether it was food, horse feed, gunpowder, or swords and halberds, for Daming, he was quite prepared.
This is actually understandable, Zhu Di is a war lunatic, he has been preparing for the future sweep of the desert, so in the arsenal, there are enough materials for a big war.
But after everyone analyzed Annan's situation in detail, Xu Huizu pointed out that there is now the biggest gap in the military for tung oil.
Without tung oil, the ordnance cannot be properly maintained, especially in the humid and rainy environment of Annan, the weapons are easily rusted.Gunpowder is also very easy to get wet, so waterproof and rust-proof has become a huge problem.
In addition, after the Ming army enters Annan, it is bound to need to establish supply stations in various rivers. If the mighty army crosses mountains and ridges, it will suffer great losses. Build a large number of warehouses, courier shops, and ships for military supplies.
All of these require a large amount of tung oil loss, and the amount of loss is extremely alarming. In addition, the court did not realize that Annan needed troops at the beginning, and all the war preparations were headed for the desert.
At this time... I had to rush to collect tung oil.
The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is still careless.
Apparently, someone has started to get wind of it, and tung oil rose sharply in response.
In the market, some tung oil shops originally provided retail sales, but now they are reluctant to sell them.
In this world, when all fools know that something is going to be very valuable, and...at least there will be a shortage for a long time to come, then...someone must start eyeing it.
And the people who can keep an eye on this thing are either rich or expensive, and they are all people with a keen sense of smell and superb skills.
"Your Majesty...there is no tung oil in the market." Xu Huizu said: "I ordered people to requisition, but...all the tung oil merchants said they were out of stock, and many people...have secretly started to store the tung oil , wanting to requisition, there is a lot of resistance."
Zhu Di was furious: "Isn't it possible for the imperial court to buy it at the market price?"
Several governors of the five armies' governor's mansion were dumbfounded.
It's not their fault, they are good at marching, organizing soldiers, or dispatching military supplies.
But it is impossible for them to play tricks with businessmen.
"It's really not possible." Zhu Di sneered and said, "At worst, use Jinyiwei to search for tung oil, I don't believe it..."
Yao Guangxiao on the side frowned, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, absolutely not, not to mention... Relying on this kind of search and copying is just a drop in the bucket, and once this is done, people's hearts will definitely be shaken. What's more, once you start searching and copying, you don't want to tell people in the world that this tung oil is priceless, I'm afraid, this will increase the price of tung oil even more."
Yao Guangxiao didn't say anything.
Dare to hoard tung oil quietly at this time, pointing to those who make a fortune, these people are not fuel-efficient lamps, otherwise how could they be so well-informed?
These people... If you deal with one or two, it doesn't matter if they kill their three clans, if you kill them, you will kill them.
The problem is, it's not one person, it's a group.
The war is imminent. At this time, tung oil has caused a bloody storm. This is by no means a good sign.
With his hands behind his back, Zhu Di was extremely angry, but he is also a person who knows the severity.
Knowing that rough methods like Emperor Jianwen's will not work.
Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and pondered, he suddenly remembered something...
But at this moment, a eunuch suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Cheng Enbo asks to see you."
Zhu Di glanced at Yao Guangxiao and the governors of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, and nodded, "Xuan come in."
For some reason, Qiu Fu always felt that whenever Zhang Anshi was involved, Xu Huizu's eyes would secretly glance at him.
This made Qiu Fu feel very sick.
But...he could only pretend not to know.
After a moment.
Zhang Anshi entered the hall and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."
Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi and said, "Why did Zhang Qing come here?"
Zhang Anshi said: "The battle is imminent. I heard that the army is short of tung oil."
He went straight to the point.
Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and Xu Huizu looked at each other.
Zhu Di said, "Go on."
Zhang Anshi said: "Fortunately, I have stockpiled some tung oil at Qixia Ferry, and I am willing to support the needs of the army."
All of a sudden, Zhu Neng and the others were overjoyed.
Zhang Anshi said again: "This was bought by my minister at the beginning. I don't know if your majesty knows about it."
Zhu Di and Zhu Neng, who were still smiling a moment ago, couldn't smile anymore.
Dare to feel that this is military funding funded by myself.
However, this piece of Anshi is very powerful. He had hoarded a large amount of tung oil in advance, and now... instead, he solved the urgent need of the imperial court.
Zhu Di cheered up and stared at Zhang Anshi: "How much can you give?"
"I have calculated that if I use troops this year, the amount of tung oil needed to extract new tung oil in the coming year should be [-] stones of tung oil, which is barely enough. If it is not enough, the imperial court will find a way to recruit some from other places. It should not be enough. problem, so I would like to offer tung oil one hundred thousand stones."
The governors of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion were all horrified.
They roughly calculated that the army needs at least [-] to [-] tung oil to support a one-year war.
For this piece of An Shi, one person took out [-] stones, plus a small amount of reserves in the army, and some other methods, it should be enough.
Zhu Di was overjoyed, but then he felt a little annoyed: "Really? Zhang Qing really relieved the country's worries. This merit alone is a great achievement. If this battle can be successful, Xu Qing's family..."
Zhu Di looked at Xu Huizu and said, "Do you think Zhang Qing has made great contributions to the dynasty?"
Xu Huizu said: "With enough tung oil, the army can be dispatched. The so-called soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are used. Your Majesty... Cheng Enbo's contribution is indispensable."
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Okay, Zhang Qing shared the country's worries, this credit book must be recorded well, and this matter will be handled by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies."
"However..." At this time, Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "I also have some unfeeling requests."
