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

Originally, he rationally felt that Zhu Yunhuan's spending budget of 7 million shi was inappropriate and unreliable, but considering Zhu Yunhuan's resolute attitude and the various achievements he had made before, Fu Youwen actually felt that perhaps there was something else going on.

And now Zhu Yunhuan said this privately through Fu Youde...

The balance in Fu Youde's heart couldn't help but tilt towards Zhu Yunhuan, and he even felt a faint excitement in his heart - because this gave him a sense of déjà vu: Who was the person that His Majesty had previously instructed privately? That guy Qin Kui, the Minister of Works!

What is Qin Kui's situation now?

He has earned the trust of His Majesty! He has also earned the distinction of overseeing the improvement of looms, the production of inexpensive cloth, and the benefit of the people. His name will go down in history!

Compared with Qin Kui.

He, Zhan Hui, and Liu Sanwu were three comrades who had established a revolutionary friendship... Liu Sanwu was still staying at home, and he and Zhan Hui basically retained their original positions and real power.

In front of His Majesty, he was far less favored than Qin Kui, the Minister of Works; in the court, he and Zhan Hui were not as influential as Qin Kui in some aspects...

Originally, it was just the Ministry of Industry, the lowest of the six ministries.

How can it compare to their Ministry of Personnel and Ministry of Revenue!

If we look back carefully, we will find that the source of these changes actually all started from the very beginning, when His Majesty summoned Qin Kui alone.

I thought so in my heart.

Fu Youwen felt more and more that... this was an opportunity given to him by Zhu Yunhuan!

"Your Majesty has never been dull or stupid. He is smart, extremely smart. And not only that, he knows and understands a lot of strange things, and they always exceed everyone's expectations!"

"He has already told Youde that his Huaixi nobles are considering this, and he even specifically asked Youde to convey a message to me, emphasizing that the four million dan of grain he spent on the coast would be of great benefit..."

The more he thought about it, the faster Fu Youwen's heart beat, and even his breathing became rapid.

If these words were said to him by someone else.

Then Fu Youwen would definitely sneer and not believe a single word of it.

But these words came from Zhu Yunhuan's mouth, and Fu Youwen thought: I can invest! If I win, the bicycle will become a motorcycle! And the chance of winning is not necessarily as small as it seems!

"Brother? What's wrong with you? We're talking about serious matters here! How do we solve this problem? Are we really just going to let it go?"

"Why do you seem to be getting excited while talking?"

Fu Youde had been stationing and training troops in Shanxi and Henan for many years, far away from Yingtian Prefecture, and had never had any contact with the new emperor Zhu Yunhuan. Naturally, his feelings about many things were not the same as Fu Youwen's.

I don't understand what kind of twists and turns of thought are going on in my brother's mind. He suddenly became a little excited...

At that moment, he looked at Fu Youwen with a confused expression.

After being asked this by Fu Youde, Fu Youwen came back to his senses. He seemed to have made some decision in his heart. He narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Wait for His Majesty's decree to come down, then you will go to Zhejiang and Fujian. Whatever His Majesty asks you to do, you will do it seriously and diligently!"

Isn't that old fellow Qin Kui just known for being obedient? He does whatever His Majesty tells him to do, and keeps his mouth shut to the outside world and his colleagues.

This time, Fu Youwen won!

It's not a matter of luck.

Instead, he put everything aside and did this based on his intuition and feelings about Zhu Yunhuan as an emperor and a person.

"Ah?" Seeing that his brother suddenly changed his attitude and actually directly agreed to the emperor's order and asked him not to stay in the capital... Fu Youde immediately had a hundred question marks in his head.

He thought about it for a moment.

I just... seemed to have said just one sentence? I repeated exactly what His Majesty had told me to tell my brother, and then my brother froze. And then everything changed?

No? I bought you off with just one sentence? How did you do that?

"Brother? What's wrong with you? Are you thinking that you have no chance and are planning to join Lan Yu and his gang?"

Fu Youde was dumbfounded and said, "When we were training troops in Shanxi and Henan, it was you who wrote to me to ask us to strengthen our position!" After thinking about it, he felt that this was the only possibility.

Fu Youwen rolled his eyes at him unhappily: "Rely on them... what good can come of relying on them? They are the ones who look down on us literati the most! Besides, weren't the chaotic times in the past tragic enough? Am I such a spineless person!?" After saying that, he threw a broad bean into his mouth unhappily and chewed it with a crunch.

Fu Youde chuckled and said, "Of course I know that you are a scholar, but even you asked me to go to Zhejiang and Fujian. You should know that if I go there, it will be difficult to come back quietly."

Fu Youwen took a deep breath. "It's hard for me to explain this to you. Our current emperor is a very unusual emperor! I've read history books all night long, and I think no one can compare to him. Besides, after all these years, how could I ever harm you?"
