At this moment.
The old man's expression was first stunned, then filled with anger.
Zhu Biao was agitated and shocked.
The ministers were in disbelief.
Under the heavens, who could directly call the Ming Emperor by his name?
Other than that person, there was only that person…
However…
That person had passed away.
Just like the eldest grandson of the emperor who had recently started spreading rumors, that person had also passed away a long time ago…
However…
Without waiting for them to continue pondering.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were like a tiger and wolf as he looked towards the source of the voice!
However, at the next moment.
He was stunned.
Even the few of them were stunned on the spot.
"Chongba!"
"Chongba!"
A sharp and awkward tone echoed in the air.
What shocked everyone was that…
The person who said these two words was not anyone.
It was a parrot with colorful feathers!
"Chongba!"
The parrot stopped in mid-air.
The old master was stunned!
This reminded him of some memories from the past.
He was so angry!
"Who raised this?"
"Stand out!"
Beside him, the officials lowered their heads, but the corners of their mouths began to twitch crazily.
Who had the guts to do this?
Speak ill of him behind his back.
Had he been discovered?
Everyone looked at each other, wanting to find that unlucky fellow.
But in the next moment.
"Walk forward…Golden 999!”
"Walk forward…Golden 999!”
This parrot.
It was obvious that he only knew how to repeat mechanical words.
There was no logic at all.
However…
The few important officials present.
However, his expression changed almost at the same time…
Gold?
Weren't they talking for a long time just now because they were anxious about money?
And now, this parrot had suddenly appeared out of nowhere....
He was talking about money.
Was it such a coincidence?
Wait a minute!
Everyone suddenly looked at each other in tacit understanding.
They were not blockheads.
Instead, he was a top smart person in Great Ming.
Speaking of which…
There had been two incidents previously.
The first time was when the crown prince was in critical condition, and a carrier pigeon appeared to deliver medicine!
Once again, it was a messenger pigeon that came to deliver questions and food for them!
It was because of these two times.
Therefore…
The current Da Ming had undergone an earth-shattering change.
In fact, it had completely deviated from its original direction!
"Your Majesty, not this time."
Everyone seemed to have realized something.
The old man reacted faster than them.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand toward the sky. The messenger pigeons from before had all landed in his palm.
And this parrot.
It did fly down immediately.
However, very quickly.
It spiraled up!
"Killing intent!"
"Killing intent!"
The sound traveled from near to far and soon soared into the sky…
Seeing this scene.
Everyone was still stunned.
However, the old man's eyelids were already twitching.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Chase after him!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The old man was already chasing after the parrot.
Behind him, Zhu Biao and the others were shocked, but they moved almost at the same time.
Lan Yu looked at Fu Youde." Why do I feel that something's not right? Could this be another…Think with me…"
However, Fu Youde had already left quickly.
"By the time you figure it out, it will be too late.”
On the hill, the few people who belonged to the most honorable of the Great Ming Dynasty all headed into the distance.
The other officials also wanted to act upon hearing the news.
However…
Yang Xian, who hadn't left, just waved his hand.
Soon, there were soldiers who controlled everyone.
"The Emperor's orders!"
"If you have nothing else to do, you can return to the capital!”
Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and the other Hanlin scholars wanted to chase after him, but they were furious, but they could only obey.
"Something's wrong!"
"Was that parrot talking about gold?”
The topics they had been talking about these days were all centered around the "financial taxes" of the imperial court.
To put it bluntly.
It was money!
In their eyes, they had always been looking forward to the golden age of a civil official!
Peace!
However…
The emperor before him was Old Master Hongwu!
He had a violent temper, and there were many places where he didn't need to fight, but he insisted on fighting.
The old man had always deliberately ignored the areas that he should be wary of.
The danger of border disasters and the power of vassal kings.
Who is the cause of the chaos?
Could the Emperor really not see it?
During the Hongwu period, he saw peace and prosperity!
It was simply impossible!
Therefore, he had no choice.
These days, the Hanlin scholars were all thinking…if they could use the disaster to delay the Emperor's energy.
They had achieved their goal.
But now…
"It's gold!"
"I heard it clearly. The parrot was talking about gold!”
"How is that possible?"
"Could it be that this Zhong Mountain not only has a mountain of grain, but also the same amount of gold?”
He thought of the changes that had happened in Da Ming in the past few days.
Their expressions became more and more awkward.
"Who is this divine doctor? Once there was enough money and food, the Emperor would probably have the intention to attack the north again.”
" Fighting is bound to be dangerous!!"
"What is this divine doctor up to?”
……
However…
The old master was destined not to hear their words.
At this moment, the group of people were moving back and forth on the mountain path under the deliberate "seduction" of the parrot.
"It's that small courtyard!"
Suddenly.
Blue Jade shouted.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunxin were overjoyed.
However, what puzzled the old man was why it deliberately led them into the small courtyard.
He thought.
Everyone's footsteps did not stop.
Very quickly.
They arrived at the place where they had been before.
Three houses, a kitchen, and a fence formed a courtyard!
It was built against the mountain!
Not far ahead, there was a gurgling stream.
Suddenly.
The parrot flew back down, no longer jumping around like before. It obediently flew into a "birdcage" under the eaves.
"Someone is keeping it in captivity?"
"Is it that divine doctor?"
"The Crown Prince's last medicinal pill should be here, right?" Lan Yu said anxiously.”
The old man muttered to himself, but his heart was faintly excited.
"Let's go over and take a look."
However…
Without waiting for him to take action.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunhao had already discovered something.
His gaze fell on the wooden horse under the eaves.
The other person's gaze was on the rosewood rattle.
"Xiong Ying!"
"It's really Xiong Ying's!"
"It's Big Brother's!"
The two of them spoke at the same time. When they saw these two things, they were so shocked that they could not control themselves.
Even though the old man had already seen it the last time he came here, it was inevitable that his emotions would fluctuate this time.
"Emperor, there are words here!"
It was Fu Youde who observed carefully.
He pointed at the cage where the parrot was and said anxiously.
The old man hurriedly walked over.
It was incredible.
There were indeed words on both sides of the birdcage!
To be precise, it was a couplet.
First couplet: taxes are sufficient and wealth is abundant, adding wings to the soaring of Jiuzhou!
The second line: Prosperity of industry and people's music, so that thousands of families are rich and boundless!
Fu Youde observed carefully.
After he finished reading.
"Taxes?"
"Is this about Great Ming's tax?"
"What is it this time?"
There was a scroll below.
Zhan Hui reminded him, and the old man quickly took it and opened it.
He was greeted with eight big words.
Using gold as the standard to revitalize the country!
The old master was puzzled.
He looked down again.
This time.
He understood very well.
I once hid a hundred million taels of gold and kept it as a treasure vault, waiting to be opened!
[The person who opens it: You need to answer a question. The person who answers the question correctly will receive the parrot's guidance and the key to the treasure vault!]
This key could unlock one of the three houses.
In addition, there was a precious medicine to give!
The old man's heart tightened and he was extremely excited.
When he looked down again.
However, he realized that the problem was extremely simple.
The Great Ming Dynasty rebuilt the country because of the destruction of the mountains and rivers! Compared to the former Song Dynasty, their finances were far inferior!
Because the tax law was simple, the process was complicated, and the rich could get huge wealth by bullying the upper class!
However, the Ming Dynasty's finances were insufficient year after year, and there was a huge hidden danger that caused the country to collapse!
He read the last sentence.
Be it the old master, Zhan Hui, or Fu Youde, their expressions changed drastically at the same time!
How was this possible?
The country was broken and the mountains and rivers shattered?
The old man's heart trembled. Big Ming was his lifetime's work. How could he not be shocked when he saw these four words?
Soon after.
The few of them looked over again. Immediately, the few ministers felt their heads spin and could not control themselves.
Question: How to improve the finance of Ming Dynasty?
