I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

"Forehead!"

Xia Yuanji paused, smiled awkwardly, and looked at Zhu Zhangui expectantly.

Zhu Zhangui shook his head amusedly, pointed at the third batch of warships that were docking, and joked.

"Then, Xia Shangshu, where is all your money, hurry up and count it!"

"Hahaha…"

Everyone laughed out loud.

Xia Yuanji didn't take it seriously either, carrying the abacus and the account book, and rushing over with the people from the household department.

"Silver rushes into the national treasury, but you send the gold to the inner treasury!"

Seeing Xia Yuanji running over in a hurry, the old man reminded Xia Yuanji loudly, let Xia Yuanji not forget that they set a good ratio of spoils at the beginning.

"Xia Shangshu, those antique calligraphy and painting treasures, I plan to open an exhibition hall for military achievements, so that the people of Ming Dynasty can also see our honor. Don't take them back to the Ministry of Households for me!"

Zhu Zhangui also shouted.

"I can't forget, I can't forget, you two can rest assured!"

Xia Yuanji, who was standing on the shore and was about to board the boat, replied without turning his head.

When the plank of the warship was lowered, before the people on it got off, Xia Yuanji rushed in hastily.

"Hehe, when this old guy sees money, he even forgets the basic etiquette!"

Yang Pu, who was beside the old man, was worried that Xia Yuanji's move would make the emperor and grandson angry, so he kindly explained to him.

"Hahaha... I have suffered for him after so many years."

The old man also laughed out loud.

In fact, Xia Yuanji can understand the difficulties, but the country needs money for war and construction.

As an emperor, he had no way to make money, so he could only find Xia Yuanji, the Minister of the Household Department.

Xia Yuanji, who had not entered the household department at that time, was a gentle, elegant and knowledgeable scholar.

At that time, no one thought that this gentle and elegant scholar would become an old man with an eye for money in the future, who would like to break a copper coin into a few petals.

"Okay, let's go up and have a look. There are a lot of taels of silver piled up together. I haven't seen it before. Let's go, dear friends, go up and open your eyes with me."

Looking at the old man Xia Yuanji with a smile, he accidentally saw the granddaughter-in-law who had been staring at Zhu Zhangui by his side. With a slight smile, he called everyone to look at the silver.

Everyone also laughed and echoed, and followed the old man to board the battleship with money.

The generals behind Zhu Zhangui glanced at the concubine grandson who was holding the child, and looked at the concubine grandson and the little prince from time to time, and followed the old man on board very sensiblely.

Soon, Zhu Zhangui and his daughter-in-law Zhao Linger were the only ones left outside the warship besides the waiting servants and guard soldiers.

"Husband!"

Zhao Ling'er, who had been waiting by the side for a long time, walked up excitedly with the child in her arms, looked at Zhu Zhangui and called out.

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Zhu Zhangui reached out and hugged her and the child in his arms.

"I'm not at home, thank you for your hard work!"

Zhao Linger's eyes were slightly red, and she shook her head gently.

"Wow wow wow..."

Seeing his mother hugging someone he didn't know, the little guy who was a bit shy started crying, pointed at the battleship, and wanted to talk to the old man.

Zhu Zhangui kissed the little guy's forehead funny.

"You brat, I'm your father, why seeing me is like meeting a stranger!"

Zhao Ling'er burst out laughing when she heard the words, rolled her husband's eyes, and said angrily: "He was so young when you left, and he has been away for more than half a year. It would be strange if he could remember you."

Zhu Zhangui smiled awkwardly, stretched out his hand to hug the little guy, and lifted it to the sky.

Someone was playing with me, the little guy who originally wanted to chase the old man, suddenly the cloud turned clear, and he giggled.

Boxes of silver with the seals of the household department were carried down, and Xia Yuanji and the people from the household department were too busy to touch the ground.

One will check the fineness of the silver, and the other will arrange which car to put the silver in, or adjust the silver.

Pack the whole with the whole, and the scattered with the scattered.

When the ship was first loaded, the big soldiers didn't think so much about tidying up.

Anyway, the money is not theirs, so it's useless to spend so much thought.

Therefore, regardless of the whole zero, all are poured into the box.

The soldiers were relaxed, but Hubu's side was sweating like crazy.

Soldiers can be sloppy, but they cannot be sloppy.

The emperor was watching from the side.

The money is missing a tael of silver, or the calculation is wrong, it is a matter of losing one's head.

That night, the old man held a celebration party.

The fat sheep were set up on fires one by one, and they were roasted until they were sizzling.

This time, because they were in the country and there were no foreign enemies to be wary of, the soldiers finally drank the soul-stirring wine.

And this time it was imperial wine, but the emperor had someone bring it here specially.

The soldiers laughed and laughed around the fire, and some of them surrounded the scribes and lined up to ask each other to help write letters from home.

As the saying goes, the beacon fire lasts for three months, and the family letter is worth ten thousand gold.

After being away from home for so long, the soldiers were very homesick.

Although it's not far from home, but because of the order from above, we will continue to set off the day after tomorrow.

It was impossible to go home.

However, the emperor thoughtfully arranged for the scribes to help them write letters and send things home.

Banquet venue.

The old man sat at the top, looking at the generals sitting in rows below, he felt very relieved.

To be honest, compared to the majestic and solemn palace, the old man still prefers this kind of environment where he drinks and chats with his generals.

"My dear fellows!"

When the banquet reached its peak, the old man toasted and stood up.

"Whoa!"

The generals below hurriedly got up, and looked at the old man with wine glasses in their hands.

"Dear dear ones, Taisun returned from the sea with the soldiers. This battle has made great contributions to our Ming Dynasty."

"Come, all of you, join me and give a toast to the soldiers who have gone on this expedition."

"Dry!"

The old man raised his wine glass and signaled to Li Hu, Jiang Huai and other generals.

Li Hu, Jianghuai and others were flattered, bowed slightly, and then saluted the other generals and ministers who were toasting.

Drink the wine.

The old man gestured to Little Snot standing aside.

Little Snot left in a hurry, and after a while, came over with two eunuchs holding trays.

"Li Hu, Jiang Huai!"

The old man gave a low drink.

The two who were communicating with Zhang Fu hurriedly got up and walked to the arena, and knelt down on one knee.

"The end is here!"

In the army, generals generally do not call themselves ministers, but are called generals.

"The two of you have fought with your grandson for many years, and have made great contributions to my Ming Dynasty. Since you will go out again soon, I will record the contributions of the two of you for the time being. When the team returns to the court in the future, I will reward you very much!"

"Thank you, Emperor Ron!"

The two saluted and shouted loudly.

The old man nodded in satisfaction, and waved his hand at the little snot.

"As the so-called sword matches a hero, I got these two swords by chance. Today I will give these two swords to you two. I hope that you will fight for Ming Dynasty like swords!"

Looking at the Pu Pu sword on the tray of the little eunuch, the two were very excited.

The emperor bestows a sword, which is a supreme honor for a general.

"The final general will thank the emperor for his grace!"

The two of them gave a big gift to the old man excitedly, and then raised their hands to accept the sword on the tray.

"Congratulations to the two generals. Your Majesty rewards you with a sword. This is a rare thing."

Zhang Fu stepped forward to congratulate the two enviously.

Other people also stepped forward to congratulate.

"Thank you very much!"

Holding the sword in both hands, Li Hujianghuai grinned happily to the back of his head, and kept thanking those who came to congratulate him.

Zhu Zhangui, who was sitting under the old man, gave the old man a helpless look.

That is to say, he understood that the old man really rewarded the two of them.

If someone is not familiar with the old man's personality, he would think that the old man is poaching in front of his face.

"Don't drink there, boy, go back early and spend good time with your wife and children!"

Smiling and watching the old man who was toasting with the generals, he accidentally left Zhu Zhangui below, thinking of his granddaughter-in-law and little great-grandson, waiting alone in the temporary palace, he urged Zhu Zhangui to go back.

Zhu Zhangui, who was eighty percent full, ordered some, greeted the generals, and left first.

Back at the temporary palace at the pier, Zhu Zhangui saw Zhao Linger when he returned to the room, staring at the lights with his hand on his chin in a daze.

"Husband, why did you come back so early?"

Seeing her husband coming back, Zhao Linger hurried forward.

Zhu Zhangui laughed.

"The old man was afraid that you would be bored alone, so he let me come back first!"

"Where is Qi Rui!"

Zhu Zhangui looked around the room and found no little guy.

"Fall asleep, let the nanny take it back to the old man's residence."

Zhu Zhangui nodded and waved at the maid who was serving beside him.

The little maid understood instantly, walked out of the room with a smile and closed the door behind her.

Two people were born in the room at once, and Zhao Linger, who was suddenly quiet and understood what would happen next, blushed.

Zhu Zhangui picked him up with a smile, and strode towards the back room.

As the saying goes, Xiaobie is better than a newlywed, and it was another night of wind and rain.

Chapter 184: A general who will not destroy the country is not a good general.

"Wow…"

In the sea area of ​​the Bay of Bengal, on the turbulent sea, hundreds of huge warships lined up in a long snake formation and slowly moved forward.

On the largest battleship in the middle, Zhang Fu, commander of the Fifth Army Battalion, lay on the side of the ship and vomited.

"Wen Bi, I'm not talking about you. You're also a general who commands thousands of armies. You can't even compare to a woman."

Looking at Zhang Fu who was vomiting, the old man pointed at him speechlessly, and then glanced at Zhao Linger, who was fishing with her husband and son on the plywood of the bow, without any symptoms of seasickness.

Zhang Fu wiped the corners of his mouth with a pale face, took the water handed over by the guard, rinsed his mouth and said helplessly.
