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

"Your Majesty, I have a book to play!"

The officials were still wondering why Zhu Zhangui didn't show off his power this year, Xia Yuanji, who seldom spoke when going to court, stepped forward.

"Uh, what's the matter with Xia Aiqing?"

Zhu Pangpang, who was about to announce the start of the year-end summary meeting, looked at Xia Yuanji suspiciously.

Didn't we just finish discussing things yesterday morning?Nothing happened yesterday afternoon. Why is this guy full of resentment? Who offended him again?

"I want to impeach Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War!"

Xia Yuanji pointed to Yu Qian, the only one in a pile of red official uniforms who was very conspicuous in blue official uniforms, and said angrily:

"My minister impeached Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War, for disregarding the court's finances and adding equipment to the army indiscriminately!"

Now everyone is even more puzzled.

As Minister of the Ministry of War, Yu Qian added equipment to the army, which was his job.

When Yang Shiqi was Minister of the Ministry of War, he often wrote letters to increase equipment for the army. This is a very normal thing. At that time, I never saw Xia Yuanji with such a big reaction.

Why did Xia Yuanji look bitter and bitter about such a normal thing, as if Yu Qian had robbed his wife.

"This…"

Zhu Pangpang was a little confused, he looked at Xia Yuanji suspiciously.

"Xia Aiqing, as Minister of the Ministry of War, Yu Aiqing adds equipment to the army. This is his job. Is there anything wrong?"

Xia Yuanji wiped his face when he heard the words, and said in a crying tone: "Your Majesty, it is his job to add equipment to the army. This minister knows that if it is some ordinary equipment, he will naturally not stop him, and he will definitely have a good time." pay for it."

"But do you know what equipment he wants this time? Do you know how much it costs?"

"How many?"

Zhu Pangpang looked at Yu Qian who seemed to have expected it and looked calm.

Yu Qian walked out of the class under Xia Yuanji's cannibalistic eyes, clasped his hands and replied: "Going back to the emperor, they are all ordinary equipment, and the cost is not much!"

As soon as Zhu Pangpang showed a relaxed expression, he was almost choked to death by Yu Qian's next words.

"It's only two billion taels of silver!"

"Cough cough cough..."

For a moment, the main hall was filled with the sound of choked coughs, and the faces of several veteran officials turned red.

Zhu Pangpang took a few breaths, pulled his ears hard, and looked at Yu Qian in disbelief.

"How much did you say?"

Yu Qian stretched out two fingers.

"It's only 20 billion taels!"

Yu Qian's tone seemed to be that what he wanted was 20 taels of silver, and anyone who came here could take it out casually.

20 billion taels!

That's it!

My dear mother, Yu Shangshu, do you have any misunderstandings about money?

Or maybe you don't know what the money means?

Everyone looked at Yu Qian in bewilderment, wondering where this guy got his confidence, making him feel that 20 billion silver is not much.

"Have you heard it all! You have heard it all!"

"Two billion taels. If the fucking court has so much money, I will retire and go home to take care of myself. The court won't have to worry about financial problems for decades."

"Two billion taels, the money spent in the army is almost enough to give all the soldiers a set of silver armor. Damn it, I can't figure it out. Where does Yu Qian have the confidence to ask for so much money! "

It seemed that Xia Yuanji was really angry. In such a serious meeting as the Dachaohui, he uttered obscenities.

That's why the censors were also shocked, and they didn't react for a while, otherwise they would definitely impeach him for the crime of disrespect.

"Hoohoo!"

Zhu Pangpang took a few deep breaths before suppressing the urge to scold her.

His mentality is so good that he was so shocked that he almost scolded his mother. It is conceivable that Xia Yuanji, who is the person involved, is very angry because of this.

"Yu Aiqing, do you have any misunderstanding about money, or do you not know what the two billion taels of silver represent?"

Not paying attention to everyone's eyes, Yu Qian nodded calmly.

"I know." Before Zhu Pangpang opened his mouth to speak, Yu Qian continued: "I also know that the court can afford such a sum of money."

Now the hall was suddenly quiet.

Not shocked, but really speechless.

Everyone is thinking, is it so easy to be a Shangshu now?A fool like Yu Qian can be a minister, so can someone with a normal IQ like himself apply for it?

"Hahaha... the imperial court can afford the money." Xia Yuanji was so annoyed that he pointed at Yu Qian and said sarcastically, "Since Yu Shangshu said that the imperial court can afford the money, why don't we exchange it? Your minister of the Ministry of War, you come to serve as the minister of the household department, I want to see where you can get so much money from."

"I'll tell you that my surname is Yu, as long as you give me the money, not only will I be convinced, but even let me recognize you as my father."

"Ha, the court can still get it out. I have been the secretary of the household department for so many years, and I know exactly how every tael of silver comes and goes. I can tell you responsibly, let alone the court. This year's salary may not be able to afford it."

Looking at Yu Qian who was still calm in the face of Xia Yuanji's ridicule, many people who admired him secretly shook their heads.

This is Yu Qian, the position of Shangshu is over.

If this kind of Shangshu who disregarded the court's finances and randomly increased equipment, if he can continue to do so, then everyone will doubt Zhu Pangpang's vision of people.

"Yu Qian, since you said that the court can afford the money, then tell me where the money is."

Zhu Pangpang also seemed to be speechless by this guy, he didn't even call Ai Qing, and just called Yu Qian's name catchy, obviously he had crossed this guy out of his mind.

It is true that Yu Qian has relatives with his own family, but Zhu Pangpang is not the kind of crony emperor.

The Ministry of War is related to the soldiers and horses of the world, Zhu Pangpang is not at ease to put a sloppy person in this position.

He even thought about it in his heart, if Zhu Zhangui pleaded for Yu Qian, how should he speak out to teach Zhu Zhangui a lesson.

"Returning to the emperor, the humble minister is not talking wildly, but that our court does have so much money, but the money is not in the court's household department, but in other places."

"And the value of this money is definitely more than 20 billion taels."

Zhu Zhangui, who was about to watch the fun, heard Yu Qian's words, his eyelids twitched wildly, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

Sure enough, Yu Qian's next actions and words proved that this feeling in his heart was correct.

Under the helpless and contemptuous eyes of everyone, Yu Qian pointed at Zhu Zhangui.

"According to Wei Chen's knowledge, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince encountered a force overseas who wanted to rise up and establish a kingdom, but because of its lack of strength, it wanted the support of Daming."

"In order to get Daming's support, this faction dedicates all of the family's three gold mines that have been produced for a hundred years to His Royal Highness, just to get a chance to support them."

"The family's storage for nearly a hundred years is astonishing, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the world's most."

"That's why I said that the court has money and can afford it."

"Wow!"

As soon as Yu Qian finished speaking, there was an instant uproar in the hall, and everyone looked at Zhu Zhangui in shock, wanting to confirm whether the news was true.

At the same time, I was also curious about where Yu Qian heard the news, and why they didn't receive any letter.

Xia Yuanji trembled with excitement, his eyes fixed on Zhu Zhangui.

He dared to swear to God that if he really had so much money, he would definitely take the people from the household department to move all those cute little money back immediately.

Yes, there are still gold mines.

How can such a precious thing be safe in the hands of a small force? Only in the hands of Daming can the safety of the gold mine be guaranteed, and the gold can be used for what it should be.

As for the small family how to deal with it?

Hehe, I have never heard of such a small family. This is a gold mine that Daming sent countless people to investigate through untold hardships. There is no such thing as a small family.

As an insider of the imperial court, he knew about Ming's plan to conquer the world in the future.

He doesn't care about other things, and neither does Xia Yuanji.

But as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he insisted on intervening in money matters.

Eh... um... all um...

Zhu Pangpang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was shaking violently as if his whole body had been shaken by an earthquake.

Only after he became emperor did he know how useful money was to the court.

Well, to be precise, he knew the use of money since he was in charge of the country.

It's just that the old man was on top of him before, so his pressure wasn't that great.

But since he became the emperor and took over all the affairs of the entire Ming Dynasty, he found that 99% of the government affairs of the court can be solved with money.

But the imperial court is short of money.

Money is needed to build railways, money is needed to build mausoleums, money is needed to reorganize the army, money is needed to dredge waterways, money is needed for disaster relief and resettlement of the people, and the navy needs money every day clamoring to replace steel warships.

In the past few years, the imperial court has indeed made some money by developing the colonies, but there are many places where the money cannot be spent.

Approving those memorials that cost money every day, Zhu Pangpang seems to be cutting his flesh.

If what Yu Qian said is true, and his son does have a large sum of gold in his hands, it will definitely solve the current urgent need of the court.

As for the issue of changing the clothes of the Ministry of War, he glanced at Yu Qian, thinking that if it wasn't the main thing, he should postpone it.

But then he shook his head.

Equipment that can cost so much money is definitely a very important thing, and it may even affect the overall combat effectiveness of the army.

For a while, Zhu Pangpang was extremely entangled. He didn't know whether to use the money first on the people or on the army.

After thinking about it, he suddenly froze for a moment.

I seem to be thinking too much. The premise of all this is that the gold is real. If it is fake, then it is useless to think too much about it.

So, he looked expectantly at his son.

Zhu Zhangui, who was watched by everyone, looked up at the roof, pretending that I don't understand what you mean.

At first, everyone was still a little skeptical, thinking that Yu Qian heard the gossip from there.

But when they saw Zhu Zhangui like this, they were shocked, and instantly confirmed that the news might be true.

Because Zhu Zhangui's expression at this time was exactly the same as when he came back with [-] million taels, Zhu Di asked him if he really looked the same.

Chapter 348: Zhu Di: I and the First Emperor have equal merits!

While the officials in the main hall were staring at each other, outside the gate of Yongding City, Empress Zhang was bringing her family members and children of the younger generation, as well as members of the Zhang family, looking forward to the end of the road.

"Sister, did you ask me if it's our aunt or grandma? Don't let us pick it up here and find out that we made a mistake there, then we will be ashamed and embarrassing."

Zhang Kejian, who works in the train security department and is currently at home on vacation, picks his nose boredly and talks about his worries.

"I have already asked clearly. The old people said that there is indeed this aunt in our family. She was snatched away by the Mongols when she was a teenager."

"Our grandpa thought that there would be no more people. He was afraid that his grandpa and grandma would miss him, so he issued a strict order not to mention it again, so as not to arouse the thoughts of the two old people."

"Since then, our aunt has almost been named from our family. After the older generation leaves, no one behind will know."

When Zhu Zhangui came back a few days ago, he told Mrs. Zhang about the aunt who was overseas.

Mrs. Zhang didn't know about it at first, so she found the older generation who followed Zhang's family to Beiping, and asked them if they knew.

At first, the older generation didn't think about it. Later, he was the great-grandson of the old housekeeper. He had some memories of this, so he searched through the family records and found the records in this regard.

After many investigations, Mrs. Zhang finally confirmed that Amo's great-grandmother Zhu Zhangui met was indeed from the old Zhang family. According to her seniority, she should be called aunt.

The older generation is gone, and as the most prestigious existence in the Zhang family, Mrs. Zhang decided to lead the whole family to welcome this aunt back to her roots.

It's not that she hasn't thought about handing over this matter to Zhang Kejian, but she is really worried when she thinks of her brother's unreliable attitude.

Yesterday she took her family to the chamber of commerce. Apart from shopping for new year's goods, she also bought some paper money for tribute incense and candles to welcome this aunt back to her hometown.

Amo didn't come back with Zhu Zhangui, because it would take some time to find the bones of Amo's grandma. Zhu Zhangui didn't go with him in order to catch up with the court meeting. Instead, he sent a team of guards to follow Amo to find it.

As soon as Zhu Zhangui returned to Daming, he received a telegram on his back, and Amo was coming soon with his grandma's fairy bones.

The ancients valued filial piety the most. When a related ancestor returned to his hometown, neither of the two brothers stayed behind to greet him. If outsiders knew about it, they would definitely be gossiped.
