Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

but……

The current head of the Ministry of Revenue, Fu Youwen, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is a seasoned man. More importantly, he is in charge of the accounts of the Ming Dynasty treasury. He is the one who makes the accounts, and asking him to audit and examine them is obviously a waste of time.

And at this point.

As the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhuo Jing was capable and brainwashed by the Confucian idea of ​​"loyalty to the emperor and patriotism", so he became the best candidate.

Zhu Yunhuan watched Zhuo Jing step over the threshold and slowly walk towards him. A hint of interest curled up at the corner of his mouth. He tapped his fingers on the dragon desk and thought to himself, "A man who is not afraid of death, a man who is loyal to the emperor, and a man who was promoted by me personally... He must be useful."

"Your humble servant, I pay my respects to Your Majesty..." Zhuo Jing said in a clear voice.

……

Time flies.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

The heat in Yingtian Prefecture came and went quickly. The autumn breeze was quite cool in the past two days, and Zhu Yunhuan finally felt relieved and removed the silk and ice from the backyard.

The central hall of the Qianqing Palace, the mourning hall.

As usual, Jiang Li found an opportunity to slip in.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on his coffin and took the basket from Jiang Lin with ease. He ate the breakfast inside with a gusto: "Damn it, this shitty life is finally coming to an end."

If I'm not mistaken.

The funeral is today.

Zhu Yuanzhang was cursing, but he had a smile on his face and was obviously in a good mood.

Taking a bite of the steamed cake in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually, "How is the situation in Fengtian Hall today?"

Although the throne had been completely passed to Zhu Yunhuan.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang always took charge of both big and small matters in state affairs. Even when he became a "dead man" sitting on the coffin, he still couldn't help but pay attention to the developments in the court from time to time.

Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Jiang Li's expression froze for a moment, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly felt that something was wrong, and frowned slightly. He asked, "Just tell me what you have to say. We have been through so many ups and downs for so many years. What problems has the Ming Dynasty not encountered? So, is there a disaster or a famine somewhere?"

Jiang Li pursed his lips.

He shook his head and said, "Neither of them, it was His Majesty..."

Hearing that nothing major had happened in the dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's frown relaxed and he raised his eyebrows with interest: "What did this little wolf cub do again?"

"Your Majesty, he has been implicated again."

"A clerk in the Ministry of Works said... Your Majesty took a large amount of money from the treasury and, bypassing Lord Fu of the Ministry of Revenue and Lord Zhan of the Ministry of Personnel, gave the money directly to Lord Qin, the Minister of Works, and asked Lord Qin to build a brick furnace."

"The other censors in the court also knew about this matter and wrote letters to remonstrate with him, saying that Your Majesty was wasting his time on pleasure, making pottery yesterday and bricks today... There was another uproar in the court today."

Jiang Li reported truthfully.

After saying this, he immediately tried to appease Zhu Yuanzhang, saying, "Your Majesty, please stay calm. There aren't many people in the Imperial Guard who can truly be considered humble ministers anymore. If Your Majesty acts impulsively, the consequences will be disastrous."

Having been with Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years, he knew Zhu Yuanzhang's temper best.

Your Majesty is frugal with the money in the treasury.

When the treasury is not enough.

Your Majesty even took out money from his own pocket to supplement the expenses.

Now the new emperor has used it to build a furnace and make bricks for fun. How could His Majesty not be angry? —But now the Qianqing Palace is full of the new emperor's people...

however.

Just when Jiang Li was waiting for a violent storm.

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, holding his chin with his left hand as he said thoughtfully, "Ah! This little wolf cub...what tricks is he planning this time?"

If it was changed before.

He must be furious.

But now he knew that Zhu Yunhuan had mastered the method of mass-producing colored glass, and the money he took out was probably exchanged for colored glass.

Something made by burning a pile of stones.

Zhu Yuanzhang has nothing to feel sad about.

instead.

He felt that this matter was probably not simple.

Losing one's ambition due to playing with things... Well, he had cursed this little wolf cub in his heart before, but this little wolf cub was better at playing tricks than anyone else.

Making money secretly.

He also used something made from a pile of burned stones to control the nobles of Huaixi.

It will happen once or twice, but not three times.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally would no longer unilaterally accuse Zhu Yunhuan of being obsessed with material things and wasting his time.

He even ate his breakfast in the basket and asked as if he was watching a big show, "What happened to Fengtian Hall later?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang eating melon like this.

Jiang Li was suddenly confused.

No, Your Majesty, the money you saved through your frugal living was squandered by your little grandson. Why don't you show some reaction? Your Majesty, I'm not used to this.

However, Jiang Li never questioned Zhu Yuanzhang.

Besides, he was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would be exposed in a moment of impulse, which would be disastrous.

After some psychological preparation.

I finally got used to Zhu Yuanzhang's abnormal reaction.

He replied, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Liang, the Duke of Kaiguo, the Marquis of Heqing... and many other Huaixi military generals immediately stood up. They were loud and unreasonable, and their words were unreasonable. The court was in an uproar for a while, but in the end... it was left unresolved..."

At this point, Jiang Li showed a puzzled look on his face.

He didn't know what was wrong with these Huaixi nobles. Did they really love the new emperor so much? Did they engage in verbal battles with these censors in the court every day?

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard this: "He is indeed a little wolf cub."

He let one group of people in the court fight another, and he played so many tricks on himself, but he didn't care about anything at all...

"Okay, we got it."

"It should be about time, right?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang understood the situation in the court, he waved his hand and said.

Jiang Li nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave now. The journey ahead is long and arduous, so please take care!"

After saying this, he knelt down and kowtowed three times solemnly.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked his teeth and said, "I've spent the first half of my life fighting all over the country, and I've been everywhere. Why would I bother with such idle thoughts? Oh, and remember to keep an eye on the vines Yunxun planted in the backyard and report to me."

He glanced out through the crack in the window and gave a warning.

What Zhu Yunhuan said that night always made him extremely concerned and curious - what would the sweet potato vine look like?

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jiang Li picked up the food box and walked out.

Half an hour later.

Zhu Yuanzhang left the Forbidden City in a grand procession, accompanied by the new emperor Zhu Yunhuan, the Ministry of Rites, and civil and military officials.

Another two hours.

The former Hongwu Emperor, now a peasant named Huang Shiliu, left Yingtian Prefecture in a horse-drawn carriage...
