Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

"Slave maid knock to see Your Majesty, knock to see His Royal Highness the Prince!" As

soon as Long Yuan entered the palace gate, Qiu Zhizhong immediately rushed over, knelt down in front of the car, kowtowed to the ground violently, shouting in his mouth, his eyes were full of tears, like he was as excited as seeing his father.

Zhu Cihong opened the car door and saw that Qiu Zhizhong cried even more vigorously, that guy, the play is really good, isn't it, in this palace, there is no drama, it is long gone, even if he knows that half of it is acted, but it is worn thousands of times, and the sycophants are not worn.

"Get up.

Zhu Cihong raised his hand and smiled faintly.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness.

Qiu Zhizhong immediately stood up and walked next to Long Yuan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has a long way to go, he has to keep up, otherwise he won't be able to keep up one day, or His Royal Highness thinks that he is useless, it is his end.

Therefore, whether it is doing facts or sycophants, you must do your best.

"I heard that you killed Gao Qiqian, and there were a lot of palace people and local officials, including the chief soldier Liu Zeqing, Wang Pu, and Yang Guozhu, who were all beheaded by you and raided their homes?"

Chongzhen suddenly changed his words in the car, and asked about what he knew, and before Zhu Cihong could answer, he said again: "They are all general soldiers with heavy troops and high-ranking officials who hold local real power, and if you do this, it will be chaotic." "

Father, you don't have to be afraid, the child has killed so many ministers, has there been any chaos?"

Zhu Cihong smiled indifferently, and said: "Most of these people are people who resist the order, embezzle military salaries, and military rations, and they are innocent of death, and now the 100,000 troops in the Beijing camp have almost been trained, and the soldiers are pointing out, and everything is destroyed, since the child dares to use this knife, there is a way to make up for this gap."

"By the way, these people have a lot of property, it can be seen how ruthless the corruption is, the money and food sent by the household department are all greedy by this group of people, and I will ask Qiu Zhizhong to send two million to my father's internal money." "

Coaxing children to give candy and adults to give money, this is the truth, and it has been since ancient times.

"No wonder, every day they say that they have no money, it turns out that they are all greedy by these people.

Chongzhen smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "Since you took power, the crown prince, I have only discovered how blind I am to people.

Zhu Cihong smiled and didn't answer, but he thought in his heart, this point, according to the original history, you didn't find this until you died, but in this life, you were woken up by him in advance.

There is no way, after killing so many people, millions of dollars of silver were sent to Chongzhen, the contrast with the previous poverty is too great, if Chongzhen still doesn't understand what these ministers are, it would be outrageous.

"By the way, I've been drafted.

Chongzhen suddenly changed his words and said: "Five thousand people left fifty people to enter the palace, five concubines, seven Zhaoyi, other beauties, talents, nobles, waiters, ladies or something."

Zhu Cihong looked at Chongzhen with a little surprise, didn't he say that he was not lustful, why was he suddenly so wild now, of course, these fifty people, basically those five concubines have a future, and the others will not have any room for improvement.

But fifty is a bit too exaggerated, don't you.

"Father, you choose yours, you don't need to tell me, but it won't be too much, and you can't see it, father, why bother.

Zhu Cihong smiled awkwardly.

"Therefore, I only left the five concubines, seven Zhaoyi, and the rest of them all withdrew from the palace, and I told you this because I want you to stand on my side when you meet your mother.

Chongzhen smiled: "In the past few days, the queen is obviously not very happy. "

Okay, got it.

Zhu Cihong nodded understandingly, the concubines and below are all untitled, graded, and keeping them is like a maid who doesn't have to work, it's really unnecessary.

It is said that Chongzhen is not lustful and works hard, that is, he has no time to get close to women, you see that there is a lot of time now, isn't this a draft, chanting poems against each other, wind and snow, tsk, how comfortable, this is still the queen is unhappy, so she retreated the extra 30 people.

Although it is the effect of the plaything Lost Spirits, he also has this idea himself.

Kunning Palace.

"Hong'er, my good son, you can be regarded as back.

As soon as Queen Zhou saw Zhu Cihong, she immediately hugged her in her arms and burst into tears, and that kind of longing was all in her eyes.

"I'm taller, I'm thinner.

Queen Zhou touched Zhu Cihong's face and smiled happily.

"Brother Prince!" Hearing

this voice, Zhu Cihong knew that it was Kunxing's girl.

Zhu Cihong walked into the hall, looked at the table full of dishes, and was moved in his heart, although he is a person whose soul has crossed over, but after all, he has lived here for more than ten years, and family affection is still very important.

"Your sister

, you know how to play all day long......" "And your father, you know ...... all day long

" "In this palace, the expenses have become bigger again, and you are all responsible, and your father's inner treasury is abundant......" "Also, the

matter of your father's draft is ...... annoying to say".

As soon as she got on the table, Queen Zhou began to read in pieces, as if she had endless words, Zhu Cihong could only listen quietly, and smiled and agreed from time to time.

"It's okay, isn't it just money, spend it when you need to, it's not the same as before, you can enjoy it too, the queen mother."

Zhu Cihong waved his hand arrogantly, looking like a big sum, and he was very angry.

"Big spending. The

queen who directly led to these words slapped Zhu Cihong's head with her hand, and scolded with a smile: "Look at what you can, I can't pay it back."

This happy family also made Zhu Cihong feel a lot more comfortable, and also made the tense whole person relax a lot.

After leaving Kunning, it was already late at night when I returned to the East Palace.

Qiu Zhizhong directly took out an account book and began to report the accounts.

"Your Highness, all the silver in the East Palace at present is: 85.7 million taels, but before the Ministry of War came to spend 3.6 million yuan for the settlement of the fallen soldiers, and the 2 million just given to His Majesty's inner treasury, there are still 80.1 million taels left, and 2.1 million taels of gold.

Qiu Zhizhong handed the account book to Zhu Cihong, and said: "Now the East Palace has more than 100 million assets, this is the real rich world!"

Zhu Cihong smiled faintly, there was not the slightest wave in his heart, there were too many places for him to spend money in the future, and these were not enough to squander, but fortunately, he turned Jinyiwei into a performance department, and the Longmen Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Tai Hospital, could make money for the East Palace.

However, this is not enough, and other ways to be thought of are also needed.

"Is this still less?"

Qiu Zhizhong was directly stunned when he heard this, but it was not unusual to think that with His Royal Highness's means, he could get so much silver.

"Your Highness, the slave maid has some ideas.

Thinking about it, his eyes rolled wildly, and then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to make a plan.

"Tell me about it.

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong put down the account book and looked at Qiu Zhizhong with interest.

"The slave knows that the annual household appropriation of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau is not less than 200,000 taels, but the value of the silk handed over every year is less than 200,000, and the slave also knows that the weaving bureau only weaves a lot more silk every year, and the eunuch in charge of the affairs and the officials and businessmen are fat and oily. "

Also, it is possible to open the sea, reuse the city for trade, and now it is too wasteful to use it for diplomatic tribute, and my Ming porcelain, tea, refined salt, silk, iron, copper, and wood are more, these can be shipped to overseas countries for trade, and it is not impossible to have at least tens of millions of silver every year."

The more he talked, the more excited he became, especially when he thought about the future business prospects.

"How do you know so much?"

Zhu Cihong glanced at the other party in surprise, he didn't think about opening the sea and using the city, but now he doesn't have a strong sailor in his hand, and the pirates at sea can't solve it.

But now his strength is not enough, bear with it first, but the weaving bureau can indeed be held in his hands.

"The slave maid has been studying with His Royal Highness since she was a child, and Zheng He's navigation diary has also read a lot, and the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau has heard the eunuch who worked there talk about it, so I have some suspicions.

Qiu Zhizhong said with a smile.

"Your suggestion is good, but let it go first, over there in the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, you go to Jinyiwei tomorrow to say something, and let Li Ruolian send someone to find out the details.

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Cihong's mouth.
