"Why would he give money to my King Yan's estate?”Zhu Di was quite puzzled.”
"No, the Liao King came to Yongping Mansion to find a businessman to do business."”
"Do business with merchants?"
Zhu Di frowned slightly." This Brother Zhi of mine doesn't take his identity as the Liao King seriously. He's the Liao King. How can he do business with the merchants?"”
"It's indeed inappropriate." Xu Miaoyun nodded.”
"Forget it, he can do whatever he wants. It has nothing to do with this king.”Zhu Di shook his head.
Seeing that the two of them were so unconcerned, Zhang Yu quickly said,"No, wangye, wangfei, the money that Liao wangye gave is a bit too much.”
"A little too much?"
"How much money can a poor place like Liaodong give me?" Zhu Di said disdainfully. Five hundred taels? Eight hundred taels? To be able to give this king 1000 taels, this king already thinks highly of him!”
Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but laugh.”
" No, no, Your Highness, Liao King gave us two hundred thousand taels…"
The air seemed to have frozen, along with the smiles on Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun's faces.
"How, how much did you say?" Zhu Di stuttered.
"Two hundred thousand taels! Your Highness!" "It's really 200,000 taels of silver!" Zhang Yu said excitedly."Those are all neatly stacked snowflakes!"”
Zhu Di took a deep breath and held it in for a long time before he cursed,"F * ck…"
He did not suspect that Zhang Yu was lying to him.
Firstly, it was because he trusted Zhang Yu enough. Zhang Yu was a steady person and would not lie to him.
Secondly, the silver had already been sent to the Imperial Residence. How could it be fake?
" 200,000 taels…" Zhu Di felt a little dizzy.
The King of Yan, who was good at fighting, almost fainted on the ground. It was Xu Miaoyun who caught him.
"Liao King is really my brother!"
Zhu Di's voice trembled as he said,"No, I have to go find the Liao King. I have to drink with him face to face!"”
Hearing this, Zhang Yu was shocked and quickly advised,"Your Highness, you can't! If His Majesty finds out, something will happen to you and Prince Liao!”
The iron law of the Ming Dynasty is that the king cannot see the king.
The king not seeing the king meant that the vassal king could not see the vassal king.
This was because the power of the vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty was too great. If two vassal kings met in private and plotted a rebellion, it was very likely to cause a national disaster!
After the prince became a vassal, not to mention seeing the king, he could not even return to the capital to see his biological parents!
After Zhu Di returned to the vassal state, he returned to the capital once. It was Old Zhu who changed the main court into the Imperial Clan Court and conferred him the title of Right Imperial Clan Court. Just that one time, Zhu Di was still being watched like a thief.
If he really met Zhu Zhi, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely think that the two kings were rebelling!
"Indeed, indeed. This king was too excited.”Zhu Di finally calmed down.
Xu Miaoyun and Zhang Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Zhu Di's next sentence almost made Xu Miaoyun flip the table.
"Miao Yun, I remember that your sister Miao Jin is still unmarried, right?”Zhu Di suddenly said,"How about marrying my brother Zhu Zhi?"”
Xu Miaoyun was speechless.
Good heavens, for this 200,000 taels of silver, you, Zhu Di, even want to give away your sister-in-law, Xu Miaojin?
And a secondary consort?
"It seems…not impossible?”Xu Miaoyun was tempted.
Who wouldn't be excited by the astronomical figure of 200,000 taels?
……
Capital, Palace of Heavenly Purity
"The fief of more than a dozen vassal kings, and the tax paid in a season is less than 500,000 taels. What kind of regulation is this?”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still leisurely in the morning, flew into a rage after reading the tax revenue for this quarter. In a fit of anger, he threw the memorial on the ground.
"If the future generations of vassal kings are like this, isn't it going to drag down the imperial court? All the vassal kings don't have to pay taxes and only wait for the imperial court to pay them a salary!”
"Bastard! You're too much of a bastard!"
Zhu Yunwen quickly went forward to comfort him." Imperial Grandfather, please calm down. The dragon body is the most important. This is a small matter, a small matter."”
"How is this a small matter!" Zhu Yuanzhang was currently in a fit of anger. Less than 500,000 yuan in taxes in a quarter? Where's the rest of the silver? Did they eat it all?”
Zhu Yunwen was helpless and thought, Wasn't it your idea? To let the vassal kings guard the borders, not to mention taxes, the imperial court would have to fork out an unknown amount of military expenditure to distribute to the various great thwarted kings every year!
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was selectively forgetful about this matter. He also asked the vassal kings to guard the border and resist foreign enemies. He also asked the vassal kings to pay taxes every year.
Pay taxes while fighting? Who could predict this battle!
Do you think that everyone is like you, Zhu Yuanzhang? Martial arts can conquer the world, and literature can rule the world?
"In fact, there is still a sum of silver handed over by the vassal king, which was not written on the memorial.”The Shadow Servant stood up quietly and reminded him.
“？”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment." Since it's the silver handed over by the vassal king, why isn't it recorded in the account?"”
The Shadow Servant replied,"Because this money didn't go to the Ministry of Revenue. Instead, it went directly into the treasury."”
The treasury of the Ministry of Revenue was the country's silver, while the treasury of the internal treasury was Zhu Yuanzhang's small treasury.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang also reacted and coughed lightly."Where did this silver come from?"
"It was sent by Liao Wangye." the Shadow Servant replied.
