"Haha, I'm just a good idea to make money. I used half of the money to buy the court war bonds, but now I'm rich!"

Zhang Dai pointed to his box of silver coins wrapped in red paper and started talking to his relatives and friends.

His friend Zhao Jiechen also smiled and said, "I had known that I would have bought more, but it was good that I had made some money. As Yuan Fu said in the communiqué, the court now wants to govern the country with sincerity, and now he really keeps his promises and will capture the benefits of fertile land on the Ganges Plain and share them with us investors who are the court. Brother Xiao, I don't know if he regrets it."

As he said that, Zhao Jiechen and a group of people who made a fortune by buying war bonds looked at Xiao Yuwei.

Xiao Yuwei said with some face: "This is an ill-gotten fortune! What's the point of making money? Bi Zichuan said that he was governing the country with sincerity, but in fact he was shameless. He wanted to manipulate the court to seize the benefits of the world, but just abandoned etiquette and Tao! He also used some small profits to buy scholars and people, so that all the shallow and stupid people in the world would be deceived by him, and even praised him as a capable minister in governing the world! I think if he was in a chaotic world, he would be a hero!"

"No matter whether he is a capable minister or a hero, since he is the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, he should naturally make profits for the Ming Dynasty, so that we will not become poorer and poorer, so that we don't even have money to listen to operas and fight cocks! Should he make profits for Mughal? But he is not Mughal's chief minister!"

Zhang Dai replied.

"That's it! That's it!"

Zhao Jiechen and other scholars responded to Zhang Dai's words, and they all felt that Zhang Dai's words were reasonable. Can the Ming Dynasty's chief minister not make profits for the Ming Dynasty, so can it be considered the Ming Dynasty's chief minister?

"I can't get it! I can't understand it!"

Xiao Yuwei had to turn around, and replied in a bad tone, then fanned himself desperately with a fan, making him look as if everyone was drunk and I was awake.

Human nature is to become jealous or inferior when relatives and friends get rich and become powerful but not yourself get rich and become powerful.

It’s just that the kind-hearted and generous person will suppress this nature and accept it calmly.

Xiao Yuwei could not be calm, but stubbornly wanted to maintain his awesomeness and dignity, and said: "Don't say that the imperial court's coupon has increased by only several times, even if it has increased ten times, I will not buy it. I will make this ill-gotten fortune!"

"Okay, you are noble and worthy of being the descendant of Xiao Hanlin!"

Zhang Dai replied, and said again: "To celebrate my Zhang Zongzi's contribution to my Zhang family becoming the richest man in Shaoxing, I will have a big banquet for guests in the future! Everyone must come and enjoy the whole world! This time I will invite a large sum of money to the opera troupe in Suzhou!"

...

"Xiao Juqian, why do you have to do this? I don't object to the Mughal's military service, the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, and the people of the world do not object to the people. Even North Korea and Japan respond actively! You are the only idle official who is consuming the salary of the imperial court and doing some book editing work for the imperial court to come forward to object. It is said that what the Japanese do in Mughal is not human affairs, and I will stop using the military service to the Mughal. I will not agree and I will kneel here and not leave. Do you think that my temper has improved over the years and will be easy to bully?"

Zhu Youxiao asked impatiently, Xiao Juqian, a Hanlin official who was called to the Qinzheng Hall by himself because he was kneeling in his Damingyuan for advice.

Xiao Juqian cried directly: "Your Majesty! There are many knowledgeable people in many newspapers and magazines saying that the court's actions were an unjust act! They even instigated Japanese pirates to do such a sin! They were also under the banner of promoting Confucian civilization. But since ancient times, Confucianism has pursued benevolence rather than domineering! Your Majesty asks to issue an order to withdraw troops and dismiss the greedy Bi Ziyan! Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao asked, "Bi Aiqing is greedy? Do you have any evidence?"

"Bi has become a huge wealth by investing in the official industry. Now he has even gotten the best of the moon. He has purchased a large number of war bonds issued by the court in advance, and is already rich enough to rival the country! Naturally, he does not need to be greedy and violates the ban, but his greed is not ordinary greed, but his greed is not a kind greed, and it is a greed that is not a kind of benevolent way. It is a way to take the country and the people to uncontrollably seize external wealth, and does not hesitate to make the heavens angry and resentful!"

Xiao Juqian replied.

"Ordinary greed? The greed that does not practice the benevolent way? Ordinary greed means greed for the wealth of the people of the country. Is this what conforms to the benevolent way?"

Zhu Youxiao asked.

After thinking about it, Xiao Juqian replied, "Of course it is not in line with it, but Your Majesty, his greed is also a greed that cannot be benevolent! Your Majesty, you are the lord of the world, and you should take it as your responsibility to save the world! You are a great emperor, making the country prosperous and the people rich, and you should save the people of the world from water and fire!"

"Don't put a high hat on me! I have never been a savior! I have never thought of saving the world. I might as well tell you the truth. Although I also have a fraternity, I never thought about who to save me from the beginning. At the beginning, I just wanted to save myself first. Everything I did is first thought of myself, and then China, and finally human beings!"

Zhu Youxiao replied directly.

"Although some people say you are a tyrant, I don't believe it. Your Majesty, I know that you are the most benevolent monarch. Please do not be deceived by treacherous ministers like Bizichuan! The natives of Mughals, their families, and their relatives are being slaughtered because of the greed of the treacherous ministers of Bizichuan! Your Majesty! Do you really want to ignore the tragic situation of these people?!"

Xiao Juqian cried in tears.

Zhu Youxiao said solemnly: "I am not a benevolent lord, I am a tyrant! Many people scold me like this, but in fact they are not wrong. You don't have to think about whitewashing me, and then achieve your own goals! So you can control me!"

"Your Majesty, you are the lord of the world. You will be the only one who can give you kindness to the world, not just to benefit China!"

Xiao Juqian replied.

"I am not the lord of the world yet, but I am working hard to become the lord of the world!"

Zhu Youxiao replied.

Seeing this, Xiao Juqian had to threaten: "If Your Majesty really wants to let him betrayal ministers of Bizichuan to destroy Confucianism and Taoism, then he can only kowtow in front of His Majesty to die, and only say that he would kowtow all the blood and wash away the evils of my Chinese civilization because of Bizichuan! Who are the Japanese people, extremely despicable people! Ignore your own and others' lives, enjoy ending your life, and be proud of bullying the weak! Like a jackal! It is a shame for him to join such jackals for profit! I beg your Majesty to stop him from doing this."

Dong!

As he said that, Xiao Juqian hit the ground.

Dong!

Dong!

The gold bricks were knocked to the point where they all rang.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but shout, "Xiao Juqian!"

Then, Zhu Youxiao stood up and pointed at him: "I can understand that because the position of his butt is sitting in a different position, I can say something different, but don't treat me as a fool! Don't think that I don't know that your family and Mughal have business, so I don't want Mughal to be destroyed! You are so full of righteousness and have all mankind in your heart, but only for the humanity, right or wrong! If you are stupid, you are stupid to think that people in the world can fight for no profit. As the saying goes, if a saint dies, there will be no thieves, and you can't let me do it for nothing.

The life and dignity of the native people of the Walores, and betray the interests of most people in the Ming Dynasty, then which country I am the emperor?! The bad is that I am using universal morality to conceal my purpose! Fortunately, the people are like me, not that great, otherwise they will be used like fools! I will tell you the last sentence, I am a tyrant, I have always liked to be a tyrant, I used to treat literati and wisely, but later I like to treat Tartars, but now I like to treat foreigners cruelly! I don’t like to be a benevolent monarch!"

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao ordered Xiao Juqian, who had stopped kowtowing, "Get out with me! Bad intentions! Since you are so kind, go to the southwest, where the Miao people and Tujia people have made contributions to the Ming Dynasty's destruction of the Eastern Rebels, but they are all ignorant and backward and are cruel to their own clan rule. I really can't be too cruel to them. Go and persuade them to be kind!"
