Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

As Zhu Di spoke, he put down the hoe in his hand and wiped the sweat from his face.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expectant look, he was secretly happy.

He pondered, "Father is now determined to respond to Tianfu. Seeing how cheerful he looks, could he be calculating his military strength? He definitely has a trick up his sleeve!"

"It seems... this matter really has great potential!"

"Who knows, that little Zhu Yunhuan might do something weird again, and then your father won't be able to wait any longer."

Now Zhu Yuanzhang was apparently in the same position and front with Zhu Di. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang really felt sorry for the money that was spent, and was also angry at Zhu Yunhuan's reckless spending, which often hurt him. This naturally strengthened Zhu Di's thoughts.

But at this time.

Lu Wei hurried in with an envelope in his hand.

Zhu Di put away his little thoughts.

A look of confusion appeared on his face. "According to the time, it's not even time for the new newspaper to be delivered yet. Is...what happened in Yingtian Prefecture again?"

His heart skipped a beat as he looked at the envelope in Lu Wei's hand, his eyes subconsciously filled with anticipation and eagerness to try.

Wouldn’t it be possible that if we mentioned Cao Cao, he would appear?

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a serious expression on his face and said, "Is it a letter from Yingtian Prefecture?" He naturally knew that this time point was not so ordinary.

After Zhu Yunhuan made several bold moves in the new year.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang really recognized and appreciated him, he was always a little worried every time he received a letter.

Lu Wei nodded in response.

He took two steps forward and handed the envelope to Zhu Yuanzhang: "In reply to your Majesty, it is true. It was reported suddenly."

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly grabbed the envelope and tore it open, muttering, "Let's take a look."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's nervous look, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

After a while.

Then I saw that my father was indeed frowning, and the expression on his face was a little hard to describe.

Zhu Di concealed his joy and asked calmly, "Father? What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong in the capital?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment.

He sighed deeply, "It's not a big deal, but it's not a small deal either. It's a bit too arbitrary and willful."

Compared with the previous practice of throwing out 7 million shi of silver at every turn, Zhu Yuanzhang's current level of acceptance is much higher.

If it was just a matter of appointing an official, it wouldn't make him too angry.

This is the world of the Zhu family.

It’s not excessive to make an exception and confer an official title on the person in power of the Zhu family and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, right?

But he still had a big picture in mind, and he still felt that there was something wrong with this matter - wrong in that it broke the rules. He was worried that Zhu Yunhuan would be able to appoint him as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in one go this time, and would he do the same thing next time if he met a minister he liked? In the long run, this would indeed be detrimental to the Ming Dynasty.

Although he knew that Zhu Yunhuan's two test questions did contain some remarkable insights and things because he had overheard them in the coffin, Zhu Yunhuan had only used the example of glass when chatting with Ma Sanbao, and had not gone into too much detail, let alone involved the entire national economy and banking system.

Zhu Yuanzhang had only a superficial understanding of the economy and still did not realize the true impact and importance of economics to a country.

So in Zhu Yuanzhang's view.

Even if someone really has this wisdom and talent, he is by no means worthy of a third-rank official.

You must know that since Zhu Yuanzhang killed Hu Weiyong in the 13th year of Hongwu and abolished the position of prime minister, the real power of the Ming Dynasty was divided among the six ministries. There was no first rank above the official rank. The second rank, as the head of the Ministry of Revenue, was the highest.

The value of the third rank can be imagined.

Just because he answered a so-called "test question" correctly, he was suddenly given such a high official position without any merit.
