Zhu Yuanzhang's question stumped Xu Biao.
He fell silent.
She thought to herself that she had indeed not investigated this matter as deeply as she did back in Fuzhou.
He only understood how Meng Yin managed the Fu Zhou government and how he changed the entire Fu Zhou Lake.
He was worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would blame him.
He said nervously," Maybe Meng Yin is rich?”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned." What are you talking about? He was just a county magistrate who had just been promoted to a prefect, and he was even the prefect of a poor place. How much money could he have?”
"Yes, Your Majesty is right." Xu Biao quickly apologized.”
He suddenly thought of the infrastructure plan and his eyes lit up.
That's right, how could he forget that incident back then?
He then said to Zhu Yuanzhang,"Your Majesty, I think that it must be the wealthy merchants that Meng Yin recruited back then who invested a lot of money in him. That's why all this money came from this!"”
This explanation made sense.
Otherwise, the money wouldn't have come from Meng Yin's reform.
Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that this was the only possibility.
However…
Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned on the spot.
He did some calculations.
According to what Xu Biao said, all the people in the entire Fuzhou Prefecture had silver saved up. If all of them were added up…
The amount of money in the Fu Zhou government was much more than the entire Da Ming national treasury!
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt like he was in a bad state!
Even though he had previously made so many national policies, how to suppress merchants from making money, how to prevent collusion between officials and merchants.
But now.
Wasn't the current situation of the entire Fuzhou government the best way to slap him in the face?
Zhu Yuanzhang held his breath in his heart.
He slammed the table and said through gritted teeth,"Zhen wants to kill this Meng Yin!"
Now that Meng Yin's plan was getting bigger and bigger, the Fu Zhou government was also getting richer and richer.
Thinking about it again, the few million taels of silver that he had earned from Meng Yin suddenly felt that it was just so-so. the
Zhu Yuanzhang had a crooked thought.
If he directly killed Meng Yin, then he could also snatch the money that the other party had amassed now!
Thinking about the current Ming Dynasty, the national treasury was empty.
There were many places where money could be used.
Planning for the people's livelihood was one thing, but the military expenditure was even greater.
After the Ming Dynasty was founded, there were many wars.
If they had Meng Yin's money, the entire situation of Great Ming would be much better!
Maybe.
Many of the problems that he was having a headache over now could be solved overnight.
This was simply a permanent solution.
As Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Xu Biao was terrified.
He seemed to have noticed something.
However…
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and soon felt discouraged.
Seeing the killing intent in his eyes gradually dissipate, Xu Biao asked again,"Your Majesty, why are you sighing? If you have any instructions, the Brocade Guard is willing to go through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire for His Majesty!”
The Royal Guards were loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to make a move on Meng Yin, Xu Biao would not hesitate to follow his orders.
However…
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.
He also knew that Xu Biao had probably guessed his thoughts and knew that he wanted to get the money in Meng Yin's hands.
He wanted it more!
But could he do that?
No way!
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed." Unfortunately, the Fuzhou government's money comes from all over the country. They are all willing to invest in Meng Yin and the entire Fuzhou government.”
"As the emperor, even if I can issue a national policy to take the money in the hands of these nobles as national wealth, I will not be able to do so.”
"But I can't do that."
Xu Biao listened quietly and quickly understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.
"Your Majesty is wise!" he said.
"Meng Yin's reputation in Fuzhou Prefecture is growing by the day.”
"If we directly order the people of the country to interfere in the construction of Fuzhou Prefecture without any reason, it will definitely cause public resentment.”
The citizens of the entire Fu Zhou government felt that they had just lived a good life.
Whether it was the Emperor or anyone else, their first reaction would be anger and resistance.
Moreover, there were so many people in Fuzhou Prefecture. There might even be people who rebelled.
At that time, it would cause some unnecessary trouble!
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about the many things that happened in the Ming Dynasty.
There was no need to go to such great lengths for the sake of the Fuzhou Prefecture.
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xu Biao,"I can only stay put. The only thing I can do is to see how Fuzhou will develop under Meng Yin's rule."”
"At that time, if the entire Fu Zhou government becomes worse under his rule, then Zhen will have a real reason to send troops to intervene.”
As an emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang was calm and cold-blooded enough to handle state affairs.
At that time.
Not to mention sending soldiers to intervene in the Fuzhou government, even pulling Meng Yin, the main culprit who stirred up the big infrastructure, over to kill him was completely a piece of cake!
But the question now was, would Meng Yin make such a mistake?
Zhu Yuanzhang did not know.
To be more precise, he felt that Meng Yin should not make a mistake.
After all, Meng Yin had once been the county magistrate of Pei County, and Pei County had experienced a huge change.
This time, the Fuzhou government could only be said to be on a larger scale.
Zhu Yuanzhang's mood was very complicated.
He hoped that after something happened to Meng Yin, he would be the oriole behind and take all the wealth that Meng Yin had for himself.
However, he was also looking forward to Meng Yin being able to make the Fu Zhou government look brand new.
He thought about it.
He felt that he still could not let go of that huge sum of money!
After all, with that sum of money, the national treasury could be expanded by dozens of times.
Using the future of Fuzhou Prefecture to exchange for the future of Ming Dynasty.
As the emperor, he naturally felt that the latter was more valuable.
Just like that, Zhu Yuanzhang kept thinking.
It was time to go to court
