Lan Yu's heart trembled, and her eyes turned red.
"Do you have any ideas?"
"Hurry up and tell us!"
However, Feng Sheng kept them in suspense. He pointed at the courtyard behind him and asked,"Don't you think that the imperial grandson here looks like a person?”
"Who can he be like?"
Lan Yu was confused. She curled her lips and said,"Business is more important. Don't change the subject. I don't care about people who have nothing to do with me.”
"It's a big deal!"
Feng Sheng was furious. He said resentfully,"That child looks like Xiong Ying! The eldest son of the Crown Prince, the eldest grandson of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xiongying!”
F * ck!
Lan Yu's eyes widened, and she was completely dumbfounded!
No wonder he felt that Zhu Ci 'an was familiar!
Yes!
This kid looks too much like my nephew!
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He fell heavily on his butt and muttered," Didn't Xiong Ying pass away…Why is he here…"
"Do you remember that on the day after Xiong Ying's burial, His Majesty dismissed a large number of eunuchs and imperial guards?" Feng Sheng sighed.”
"Presumably, the reason why His Majesty did this was to hide the news that the imperial grandson was still alive!”
"Old Feng, the method you're talking about, could it be that you want our Huaixi general, Fu Xiongying, to take the throne?" Lan Yu's spirit shook.”
"That's right!"
Feng Sheng nodded heavily, his gaze faint."Supporting Xiong Ying is the only way for us old brothers in Huaixi to survive!”
"Yes, yes, yes! We should support Xiong Ying!"
Lan Yu's depression disappeared and he laughed loudly,""Let's go, we'll go back to the residence and reflect on our mistakes behind closed doors. When the confinement is over, we'll call our brothers from Huaixi over to discuss the important matters!”
Xiong Ying!
Wait for me!
Zhu Yunwen, that was a fart!
Uncle is your father Zhu Biao's iron stick, and he will be your iron stick!
……
When Lan Yu returned to the residence and was grounded, Zhu Yuanzhang also returned to the palace.
He remembered Zhu Ci 'an's claim about the flood in Henan Prefecture, so he immediately summoned Zhao Mian, the Minister of Revenue, to the palace to meet the Emperor.
In the Hall of Honest Body, Zhao Mian was kneeling on the ground in a kylin robe.
"This subject, Zhao Mian, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, why did you call me into the palace so late at night?”
Zhu Yuanzhang sat at the imperial table with an imposing manner. He said lightly,"In the past few days, have you received any reports of the disaster in Henan Province?”
Zhao Mian was instantly stunned. He hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed."Your Majesty, I have not received any reports of a disaster.”
"But this subject thinks that the autumn harvest is coming soon. This year will definitely be a year of great harvest, so this report will definitely not be received.”
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows." But why did I hear that the Henan Prefecture will be flooded by the Yellow River in the next few days? Or will there be no crops?"”
Zhao Mian's expression turned solemn as he said with certainty,"Your Majesty, these are the words of a demon.”
"The person who spread this news should be killed!”
"I advise Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly and kill this fellow's entire family!”
He was impassioned, like a loyal official pleading for the country.
However, just as he finished speaking, a loud roar suddenly came from outside the Hall of Self-respect.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Henan Province is in trouble!”A loud roar came from outside the hall, and both the monarch and his subjects were shocked.
What?
Henan Province was really in trouble!
The Minister of Revenue, Zhao Mian's face instantly turned green.
He shouldn't have promised His Majesty just now. Now, he had been slapped in the face.
He couldn't even stand properly and was stunned for a while before he forced a smile and said,"" This…Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if the Henan Province is in trouble, I think…I think it won't be too big…"
However, at this moment, Luochuan quickly walked into the palace gate and knelt down."Your Majesty, the scouts have reported that the Yellow River has flooded and more than half of Henan Province has been flooded.”
"A large number of homeless refugees are rushing to the capital to seek survival!”
Hearing this, Zhao Mian felt his face burn even more.
His body went limp, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.""Your…Your Majesty…I will die!”
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in the mood to punish him for neglecting his duties. His hands trembled as he held the report.
It matched!
Everything was as Cian had expected.
With the flood, the price of grain would skyrocket!
Once the refugees entered the capital, the entire Yingtian Prefecture would be plunged into a massive food crisis!
Our Zhu Yuanzhang almost sold his family property and stockpiled grain because of his resignation, so he beat this eldest grandson up?
How muddle-headed!
Cian's crazy stockpiling of food was the truly wise move to prepare for a rainy day!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart, but he quickly calmed down.
"Pass down the decree, immediately transfer 110,000 stone grains to the Henan Province for disaster relief!”
"When refugees enter the capital, local officials are not allowed to oppress and stop them!”
"We will allocate 310,000 taels of silver from our treasury. The Ministry of Revenue and the Yamen of Heaven Ying Prefecture will do their best to provide relief!”
Hearing this, an old eunuch behind him hurriedly said,""Your Majesty, 310,000 taels for one transfer. I'm afraid you don't have any more silver left in your treasury…"
"Where's our silver?"
" Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Empress Xiaoci's Palace of Earthly Tranquility is going to be renovated…" At the mention of the late Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang's cold face revealed a trace of longing and warmth that he had not seen for a long time.
After a moment of silence, he restrained his expression and said seriously,"Forget it, I won't repair it. This money will be used to relieve the disaster victims!”
"When I die, I'll personally apologize to our sister!”
"We obey your orders!"
Zhao Mian bowed and left the hall.
His Majesty had already been displeased by the fact that the monarch had spoken before.
If the disaster in Henan Province was not properly planned, he would probably be beheaded!
As soon as he left, Zhu Yuanzhang issued another imperial edict.
"Luochuan!"
"Immediately select a group of reliable Embroidered Uniform Guards. You must refine a large amount of white salt into the market within these few days!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Luochuan also left.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood alone in the main hall, his thoughts running wild.
Goodbye!
Everything depends on your white salt!
……
The efficiency of the Embroidered Uniform Guards was faster than killing people when it came to white salt.
Early in the morning, he sent Zhu Cian the title deed of a shop and the salt sales documents of the Salt and Iron Transportation Division.
As for the white salt, he also refined a few thousand catties and sent it to the shop.
On the opening day.
Zhu Ci 'an personally sat in the shop and looked at the white salt that filled the shop. He was extremely satisfied.
After pretending to be crazy for so long, only today did this young master feel that life was filled with meaning!
