The four of them sat in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility for the entire morning.
It had turned from breakfast to lunch.
In the end, all the money that Madam Lu brought to Empress Ma today became Zhu Xiong Ying's.
Empress Ma carefully stroked the mahjong in her hand and couldn't help but laugh.
"People still have to admit that they're old."
Although this was just a tabletop game.
However, Empress Ma hadn't exercised this much in a long time.
His stomach could not help but growl.
"Yu 'Er, I'm hungry.”
Yu 'Er was stunned on the spot.
She looked at Empress Ma in disbelief.
"Empress, Empress, what did you say just now?”
Empress Ma smiled at Yu 'er and said,
"I'm hungry. Pass me lunch."
"Good, good! Yu 'Er will get someone to pass on the lunch!"
As Empress Ma's personal maid, Empress Ma had never said that she was hungry since the New Year.
To the old man, it was self-evident what this meant.
But today, Empress Ma actually said that she was hungry.
Yu 'Er suspected that she had heard wrongly.
Then, everyone present could not help but look at the boxes behind Zhu Xiongying.
There was an obvious awkwardness in the air.
Madam Lu couldn't deny it, right?
At first, Empress Lu and Empress Ma wanted to give the money to each other.
He had never expected Zhu Xiongying to appear out of nowhere.
After killing in all directions, he won all the money.
Madam Lu looked at Zhu Xiongying unwillingly.
Even though Lady Lu was unwilling to accept this, she still felt that it was unfair.
But now, it was even more embarrassing for him to turn his back on her!
If you can't afford it, why are you pretending to be rich?
Madam Lu looked at Zhu Xiongying with a stiff expression. Suddenly, Madam Lu changed the topic and smiled.
"Ying 'er, this money is used by mother to subsidize grandmother. What do you think we should do?”
Lü undoubtedly kicked the ball to Zhu Xiongying and also to Empress Ma.
I'm giving you money, but you don't want it. If your precious eldest grandson gives it to you, what will you do?
Empress Ma naturally understood the meaning behind Lady Lu's words.
His expression darkened.
However, Zhu Xiong Ying didn't seem to care. He looked at Madam Lu and smiled.
"Grandma! Ying 'er doesn't want a single cent of this money. How about donating it to the imperial court in Ying' er's name?”
Zhu Xiongying's reply was beyond everyone's expectations.
If they donated it to the Imperial Court, it would not be up to Empress Ma to decide.
And it was in the name of Zhu Xiongying.
A smile appeared on Empress Ma's face again.
"Okay, okay, we'll listen to Ying 'er. Yu' er, you heard everything, right? Immediately order someone to send some money to His Majesty. Tell him that it was donated by his great-grandson to the Imperial Court.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuchs of the Earth Peace Palace, led by Yu 'er, swaggered towards the Heaven Tribute Hall with the money in the chest.
This time, it was Concubine Lu's turn to be dumbfounded.
This was her family's money!
Was it all for naught just like that?
He didn't even hear a sound!
At this moment, Zhu Xiong Ying took out two golden melon seeds from somewhere and smiled at Madam Lu.
"Yun Wen, Lil 'Miss, everyone in the palace is having a hard time now. Take this money back to subsidize the Eastern Palace's expenses!”
Zhu Xiong Ying's words were like a knife that stabbed into Madam Lu's chest!
This is my family's money!
They are all mine!
……
……
In the Hall of Heaven.
Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about money.
Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, a copper coin could not wait to be broken into two halves. The imperial court had always been tight on spending.
Now, something like this had happened to Da Ming.
Zhu Yuanzhang's mood worsened.
Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with some embarrassment and said,
"Upstairs, the reports from the various prefectures and counties have all been sent up. The situation of the disabled veterans will be settled as soon as possible, but there's still a little bit of money missing.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy.
"How much difference?"
"Just around forty thousand taels."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanzhang and asked worriedly,
"Good sir, can the Ministry of Revenue still take out this forty thousand taels of silver?”
Lee Shan Chang frowned and sighed.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue can squeeze out this amount of silver. However, it might be to transfer some food funds for disaster relief. Fortunately, it's not much.”
Big Ming's expenses were shocking. The Ministry of Revenue was actually just a process.
He turned around and left.
Moreover, the Great Ming Dynasty was a hybrid of material taxes. Food, cloth, and silk could all be sent up as taxes.
However, the veterans who could not be settled down had to come to the capital for settlement. They could not give the veterans two bolts of cloth as travel expenses, right?
The Ministry of Revenue couldn't take out so much cash at once.
"If it really doesn't work out, I'll go look for our old brothers in Huaixi and gather them together.”
"Gather my ass! The money that the imperial court gave you is for you to retire. We've just given it to you and now we're asking for it back. What's wrong with this?”
At this moment.
Yu 'Er carried a wooden box and quietly walked into the hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said,
"Alright, go back and tell the Empress that we won't have lunch first.”
Yu 'er couldn't help but laugh.
"Your Majesty, this is the ten thousand taels of silver and three thousand taels of gold that our grand grandson donated to the imperial court…"
"What?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's jaw almost dropped.
Three thousand taels of gold, converted into silver, added up to a total of forty thousand taels!
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the white silver and golden gold in the box, he was completely speechless.
Then, Yu 'er told Zhu Yuanzhang everything that had happened in Earth Peace Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter.
How could Zhu Yuanzhang not know about Lady Lu's thoughts?
Zhu Xiongying had actually used such a clever method to resolve it.
"Alright, alright! Our Ying 'er is a good child!"
"Shan Chang, go and write a notice for us and stick it at the palace gate. Let the ministers who pass by show us how much our precious eldest grandson cares about the imperial court!”
