"Yesterday, I used another identity to drink with Chen Shu!”
"Chen Shu is indeed as Father said, a great talent in governing the country!”
"I really want to use him, and I've also tested his tone, but he's extremely resistant to being an official!”
"I asked why, but I got an answer that I didn't expect!”
The Crown Prince simply expressed Chen Shu's opinion.
Xu Da cursed Chen Shu in his heart. You f * cking mouth cannon, why do you want me to take the blame?
It was absolutely taboo for officials to talk about the emperor.
Xu Da's cautious personality was the kind of person who would run out in the middle of the night even if the Emperor asked him to sleep in the palace.
How could he dare to discuss the emperor's right and wrong?
Xu Da deliberated for a moment and said,
"I don't think so. His Majesty said that the income he gives to officials is at most based on the rent of a small landlord!”
"No matter how much I want, I can't!"
"This subject was born as a commoner and has followed His Majesty since young. We have suffered and starved!”
"Therefore, Xu Da is very satisfied with his life today!”
"Moreover, His Majesty is not only strict with his officials. He also sets an example!”
"As far as this official knows, Your Majesty rarely eats meat in a year. How can this official dare to ask for too much?”
Xu Da's words were Zhu Biao's refutation of Chen Shu. If Chen Shu had not been there, Zhu Biao would probably have felt that it was very reasonable.
"However, this world belongs to Father after all. He eats less, but it doesn't mean he has less!”
"I still vaguely remember that Imperial Father said that many officials in the capital were in Yingtian Prefecture and could not afford to buy a house!”
"I also heard that some Qingshui Yamen officials don't even have money to bury their parents after they die!”
When Xu Da heard these words, he broke out in cold sweat.
He was already kneeling on the ground, not daring to speak.
"Uncle Xu doesn't dare to tell the truth in front of me. I understand this!”
"I finally understand why the emperor wants me to come out more often!”
"This Chen Shu is really as uncle and father said, a pillar of the country!”
"If it weren't for him, I would still be immersed in those words!”
"Uncle Xu, I think what Chen Shu said makes sense!”
"Father, you might be wrong!"
When Xu Da heard these words, his head almost buried into the ground.
He could feel Zhu Biao's confusion and the determination in his words.
Zhu Biao, the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, the Crown Prince of the Empire.
Ever since there was an Emperor, he was definitely the most authoritative Crown Prince.
In the past dynasties, the relationship between the emperor and the crown prince was one of kinship and precaution.
The power of the Crown Prince had always been controlled by the Emperor within a safe range. Only Zhu Biao was different from the other Crown Princes.
Whether it was the kinship between the Emperor and him or the power the Emperor gave him, it was unprecedented.
This Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace was the Vice Monarch of the Ming Dynasty.
He also worshipped the Emperor.
However, after drinking with Chen Shu, there was actually a crack between the Crown Prince and the Emperor?
Xu Da didn't know if he should admire Chen Shu or scold him for courting death.
"This subject does not dare to recklessly discuss the political views between His Majesty and the Crown Prince!”
Old Xu could only helplessly repeat the meaningless nonsense.
However, Zhu Biao didn't expect Xu Da to give him any advice when he told Xu Da this.
After venting the depression in his heart, he smiled.
"Uncle Xu, don't be nervous!"
"I'm just venting some emotions. There are some things I will tell the emperor, and there are some responsibilities that I, as the crown prince, have to take on."
"Let's not talk about this. Why did you appear in the Chen residence this time?”
Xu Da heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the Crown Prince had finally stopped talking about those life-threatening topics.
He quickly told everyone about the silver he had given to Chen Shu.
"You sold it for more than ten thousand taels of silver?"
"Only a few days?"
Zhu Biao gasped after hearing Xu Da's story.
Ten thousand taels of silver was not something he could ignore even if he was the Crown Prince.
The annual income of the Great Ming Dynasty was only slightly more than ten million taels.
Xu Da could earn ten thousand taels in a few days. Didn't that mean that he could earn a hundred thousand a month and a million a year?
This business of penicillin was simply robbery!
One had to know that the Great Ming's salt tax was only about three million taels a year.
"I didn't expect it either!"
Xu Da laughed bitterly.
"Back then, I heard that I owed Chen Shu more than 200,000 taels. I thought that even if I handed it over to this guy for the rest of my life, I wouldn't be able to pay it back!”
"When I got the business of penicillin, I only thought that it would be a benefit for Big Ming if the spread of penicillin could be spread!”
"Who would have thought that in just three short days, the high officials and princes of the capital have trampled through the threshold of my Duke of Wei!”
"To say something embarrassing, I've never seen such a profitable business in my life!”
Ten thousand taels of silver in a few days. Zhu Biao had never seen such a business before.
His Highness the Crown Prince was almost drooling.
As the future ruler of the Ming Dynasty, he was the only one who knew how short of money the imperial court was.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he knew the sufferings of the people because of his background. Therefore, the taxes of the Ming Dynasty were very low.
Because of the small amount of money collected, Da Ming's expenses were always in a state of tension.
This also led to the fact that the salary the emperor gave to the officials would definitely be less.
He asked himself, although the emperor had double standards for the imperial clan and officials, his father was definitely not a fatuous ruler.
If you don't take charge of the household, you don't know how expensive oil and salt are. Ming's finances have always been in a state of tension.
Seeing how easy it was for Xu Da to earn money, Zhu Biao was extremely envious.
"Uncle Xu, you're not bad at being a deadbeat!”
"If Chen Shuren could arrange a repayment plan like Uncle Xu's, I would want to be a deadbeat!”
The Crown Prince accidentally said what was on his mind, causing Xu Da to be dumbstruck.
Your Highness, have you gone astray?
Zhu Biao's face turned red as he said what he was thinking.
He pretended to be calm and said,
"Chen Shu is a genius. I chatted with him a few times and found that he has a lot of things!”
"In the future, I will probably visit the Chen Residence often. Uncle Xu and Sister Miao Yun, please pretend that you don't know me!”
"I won't say much to Uncle Xu. Imperial Father is still waiting for my reply in the palace.
Hearing this, Xu Da hurriedly bowed and acknowledged.
Zhu Biao was too ashamed to stay here for long. He gave Xu Da a few instructions and then brought the palace guards back to the palace.
Not long after, in the palace, Wuying Hall.
The Emperor looked at the Crown Prince kneeling on the ground and asked in a low voice,"
"You got the answer you wanted?”
"Father, I've already obtained it!" Zhu Biao said.”
"Speak!"
The Emperor also wanted to know why Chen Shu said that the salary he gave to his relatives was a policy of the United States.
Zhu Biao didn't keep them in suspense. Instead, he told them the entire conversation.
Old Zhu's expression changed from being calm at the beginning to suppressing his anger and finally getting angry.
"This bastard!"
"Am I that unbearable?"
Zhu Biao ignored the Emperor's anger and continued.
When it came to the salary of the clan relatives, especially the arithmetic problems that Chen Shu had calculated for Zhu Biao.
Old Zhu was completely silent.
Although he did not say a word, his heart was in turmoil.
