royal palace, royal study

Emperor Zhu Song was looking at the minister's memorial when suddenly a figure quietly appeared in front of him. It was the old eunuch Feng Yulou who often followed him.

"How is the situation?" Zhu Song continued to look at the memorial and asked calmly.

"Back to the emperor, Yu Hao beat Liu Dafu, and then the prince came..."

In a high-pitched voice, the old eunuch recounted in full what happened outside the military office.

"This beast! He is killing people and silencing them!"

When he heard that His Highness the Crown Prince was executing Liu Dafu on the spot, Zhu Song angrily smashed the memorial on the ground.

He was not concerned about Liu Dafu's death, but was heartbroken that his son actually colluded with these corrupt officials to deduct the pensions of the fallen soldiers.

If it weren't for the fact that he was his eldest son and the son of his most beloved first wife, Zhu Song would have wished to chop him with a knife.

After calming down his emotions, Zhu Song continued to ask: "Yulou, what do you think of this guy Yu Hao?"

The old eunuch was stunned and said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, based on the old slave's observation of this son, this son is definitely not as ignorant as the rumors. Although beating the imperial official in the street is a bit arrogant and domineering, it is excusable.

With a little training, he might be the next Duke of Yue."

Zhu Song glanced at the old eunuch in surprise, not expecting that he had such a high opinion of Hao.

"Let's take a look. If this kid is really a talent, it might be a good choice to use him to contain Changsun Xiao. Notify Jianguo Temple to pay close attention to Yu Hao's movements, and at the same time protect his safety."

…

After distributing the pension, Yu Hao hurried back to his house. Since he had the idea of ​​making money, he had to implement it immediately.

At this time, the housekeeper Xiong Laoliu was leading people to replace the plaque on the door.

The title of the Yu family has been reduced, so naturally they can no longer display the plaque "Yue Guo Gong Fu", but must replace it with "Yu Fu".

"Master, you are back."

Seeing Yu Hao, the housekeeper quickly greeted Yu Hao with a smile.

"Uncle Six."

Yu Hao nodded.

Seeing Yu Hao calling him Uncle Six, the housekeeper's eyes widened immediately.

Ever since he was young, Yu Hao had always called him Lao Liu, but today he actually called him uncle, which immediately made him feel flattered.

Yu Hao didn't think so much. The steward turned out to be Yu Yi's lieutenant. Later, he was seriously injured and became ill and could no longer ride a horse to fight, so he became the steward of Yu Mansion. Out of respect for the veteran, there was nothing wrong with calling him uncle.

"Uncle Six, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Master, please speak."

"Give me some money!"

Yu Hao smiled and rubbed his hands, his eyes narrowed into slits.

The housekeeper suddenly had black lines on his head. He thought the young master had changed his gender, but he was actually waiting here!

"Young Master, you don't know that I use my own money to pay the soldiers. My family has long been out of money, and I really can't afford the young master to squander it."

The housekeeper thought that Yu Hao wanted money because he was going to eat, drink and have fun, so he suddenly looked embarrassed.

"I know this. Please help me think of a solution. I really have something important to do this time. Why don't you lend me some money for my father's sake?"

There are hundreds of servants and servants in the house, and the daily expenses are a lot of money.

Yu Hao knew that drawing money from the house at this time would definitely embarrass the housekeeper. After all, there were so many mouths to eat.

So I had to move Yu Yi out and see if I could borrow some from the housekeeper.

After hearing Yu Hao's words, the housekeeper hesitated, looked around cautiously, took out a small ingot from his arms and stuffed it into Yu Hao's hand.

"Uncle Six, you're being too generous. It's only ten taels of silver. Are you acting like a thief?"

Yu Hao weighed the ingot in his hand, feeling a little disappointed.

Yu Hao's voice was so loud that he immediately startled the housekeeper, "My little ancestor, please keep your voice down and collect the money quickly! My old lady is very strict, and I managed to save these ten taels of silver." "

"But this is not enough!"

Yu Hao was ashamed. After working for a long time, this housekeeper was still a henpecker.

Clothing ranks first in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but Daqian's textile industry is lagging behind. Even the simplest linen clothes are not cheap. Many clothes have been worn for more than ten years and are already covered with patches.

Even many children from poor families cannot afford to buy clothes, so several people share a pair of pants. Whoever wants to go out can wear it, and those who don't want to go out stay at home with their buttocks bare.

Yu Hao planned to build a textile factory to spin and weave threads. This would not only allow military families to work in the factory, and Yu Hao would pay them wages, but also allow the common people to wear cheap clothes. This would kill two birds with one stone.

But if you want to build a factory, these ten taels of silver are obviously not enough.

"Isn't this enough?" The butler's eyes suddenly widened, "Master, if you order less than two in one night, your body will not be able to bear the excess."

Yu Hao was stunned, why are there two missing things? He thought he wanted money to visit a brothel?

"Uncle Liu, I'm not telling you, how can you be so immoral at your age? Am I, Yu Hao, that kind of person?" Yu Hao said righteously.

Isn't it?

The housekeeper secretly cursed, but he still said: "Since the young master is not going to visit a brothel, then why do you need so much money?"

Yu Hao didn't hide anything, and immediately expressed his idea of ​​setting up a textile factory to accommodate military families.

After the housekeeper heard this, he burst into tears.

"I didn't expect that the young master would have such lofty ideas. He is just old and narrow-minded."

With that said, the housekeeper took out a ten-tael gold ingot from his pocket and stuffed it into Yu Hao's hand.

"This is all the old man's money. I will give it all to the young master today."

Looking at the two ingots in his hand, Yu Hao sighed, this little money was far from enough.

"Don't worry, young master. I will go and pay three thousand taels to the account right now."

Seeing Yu Hao's sad face, the housekeeper gritted his teeth and walked towards the accounting room, crying as he walked.

Soon, three thousand taels of silver notes were withdrawn.

After getting the money, Yu Hao suddenly felt happy, "Uncle Liu, you gave me so much money, do you still have money in your house?"

"Don't worry, young master, there is still money in the house."

Although he said this, the housekeeper knew very well that these three thousand taels were the family's last savings. Now that they were all handed over to Yu Hao, the family would be without food the next day.

He himself also came from the military and knows how difficult it has been for military members over the years.

Let’s not talk about whether Yu Hao’s idea can be realized. Just because of his heart, he should fully support it. Therefore, even if the whole government tightens its belt, the money must be paid to Yu Hao.

If the old prince had a spirit in heaven, he would definitely agree to what he did.

"Thank you, Uncle Six." Yu Hao hugged the housekeeper, took the money and went into his small courtyard.

Looking at Yu Hao's excited back, the housekeeper showed a pleased smile.

"I have to discuss it with the old lady and use my savings to help the family tide over this crisis..."
