Chapter 640: Here Comes My Money

Liu Ruyu returned home with Zhao Ce's article in his arms and went straight to Liu Daxia's study.

Recently, Liu Daxia's throat is not very comfortable and always coughs from time to time.

He had previously received the errand that His Majesty wanted to reduce the rewards of the royal family and terminate the title, and now the general constitution has been discussed with various departments.

I waited for the final submission to be submitted and approved to His Majesty and the Masters.

Seeing Liu Ruyu come back, he said directly: "Have you gone to Yongxibo Mansion?"

Liu Ruyu said "um" and placed Zhao Ce's article on the desk.

"Yong Siberto's son helped him read the article, and his son brought a lot of them back."

Liu Daxia nodded and said, "You don't have much trouble now, so let's take a look."

Liu Ruyu said yes, and the room was silent for a while.

Liu Daxia raised her head and looked at Liu Ruyu who was eager to speak but stopped.

He frowned slightly and said, "What happened?"

Liu Ruyu said: "Father, my son is in Yongxibo's Mansion today, and I will meet His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"They went to Yongxibo's mansion to ask Yongxibo about opening the sea."

Liu Daxia paused for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince have gone there in person?"

Liu Ruyu nodded.

Thinking of the shocking policy that Zhao Ce brought over before, Liu Daxia sighed.

"Previously, His Majesty's attitude towards opening the sea was optional."

"But at the end of last year, I suddenly began to be tough."

"So behind this, there is actually a master's guidance..."

Liu Daxia said, and felt that Zhao Ce was too bold.

A good scholar shouts and fights every day.

He also said that he wanted to invade and plunder other countries.

Now that their territory is being collected again and again in the Ming Dynasty, how can they do these things?

When Liu Ruyu saw his expression, he quickly told the two memorials he heard.

Liu Daxia has not received this memorial yet.

Since His Majesty has received it, he probably will receive news soon.

After hearing Liu Ruyu's words, he was a little uncertain: "All the Japanese slaves were beaten away?"

Liu Ruyu said honestly: "Father, this is what Your Majesty said in person, and it should not be wrong."

"It seems that the matter of opening the sea ban does not seem to be completely beneficial?"

Liu Daxia remembered Zhao Ce's previous swearing words.

"If our Ming Dynasty does not develop sea areas, the sea areas will not become our barrier..."

Liu Daxia murmured: "It will become a weapon in other people's hands."

"Now... can it become a weapon in my Ming Dynasty?"

Liu Ruyu glanced at him and didn't know how to respond, so he simply didn't say anything.

After Liu Daxia finished speaking by himself, he felt it was a bit ridiculous.

He pondered, "It's just an occasional thing, and it's not accurate."

"You send someone to the southeast coast to see what the navy is doing."

"Although only one port is opened now, there are no people who want to take advantage of the situation."

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm just afraid of it."

"If Your Majesty really wants to open the sea in full, war will definitely be inevitable, and the soldiers' military pay must be prepared to raise."

"As for the Folang Ji people in Guangzhou Prefecture, there are only two ships, which cannot make a difference."

"Let them learn some lessons."

Liu Ruyu responded honestly, thinking about the words Zhao Ce said just now that Folang Ji people should not be underestimated.

Still swallowed this back.

After all, the reason why Japanese pirates are difficult to deal with is that they have a constant stream of people coming to invade the Ming Dynasty.

But Franji is too far away from them, and it is impossible for the Japanese slaves to happen.

Liu Daxia asked him to help write the memorial now, and Liu Ruyu left this matter behind.

After the memorial was written, someone sent it directly to the palace.

Liu Daxia said directly: "You go down and read the article."

"Yong Xibo thought too much, and he didn't know how this article was written."

"I think you need to spend a lot of effort."

Liu Ruyu whispered: "Father, the child read an article on the road and thought it was written pretty well."

Liu Daxia looked at him in confusion.

Liu Ruyu smiled and said, "Yong Xibo's articles follow the grand and solemn ancient Chinese language path, but it is not difficult to see from the article that his understanding of history and current affairs is particularly appropriate."

"If all the articles were like this, my son thought he would probably achieve good results."

Liu Daxia coughed twice and looked away.

"Since that's the case, then you can help him see what needs improvement."

After holding it in, Liu Daxia waved his hand and said, "It's okay, go and do your business."

After Liu Ruyu gave the courtesy, he withdrew with Zhao Ce's article.

...

On the other side.

Emperor Hongzhi returned to the palace and summoned several ministers to discuss the matter of spring plowing and spring flooding for this spring rain.

Until the lights were held, he looked at the memorial that had not been processed during the day and gently pinched his eyebrows.

Queen Zhang followed the palace servants, holding steaming food in her hands.

"I heard that the emperor didn't use much dinner, so I brought some delicious food, would I need to order it?"

"If it's too late today, I'll take a break after using it and continue to deal with political affairs tomorrow?"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled tiredly and said softly: "Okay."

Queen Zhang used a little while to serve him. Seeing that he had a bad appetite, she always felt a little worried about his body.

She made some nourishing soup and watched Emperor Hongzhi drink it before she felt relieved.

He handed the bowl to the palace maid next to him, and she took a wooden box from her personal palace maid.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the wooden box handed to him and said curiously: "Is this?"

Queen Zhang said happily: "Your Majesty, just open it and look?"

Emperor Hongzhi saw her mysterious look on her face, and couldn't help but open the wooden box in her hand with a funny look.

"Silver notes?"

Looking at the stack of silver notes in the wooden box, Emperor Hongzhi smiled.

"Why did the queen send me money?"

Queen Zhang said with confidence: "Your Majesty is busy with political affairs recently, isn't it all because of money?"

"I used to participate in Yongxibo's pastry business with Houzhao, and now this is the first month of dividends."

Emperor Hongzhi held the silver notes in his hand and said curiously: "It seems that there are a lot of money, how much money did he get?"

Speaking of this, Queen Zhang was happy.

She said: "I divided the profits into three parts, and the one I got was more than 6,000 taels."

"I just sent my son's share to him."

One person has 6,000 taels, which means that in this short month, the income will be 18,000 taels?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the silver notes in his hand and said in surprise: "So much profit?"

Queen Zhang said proudly: "Our things are the only ones in the capital, and those wealthy families are rushing to buy them."

"The business is of course very good."

"Anyway, please keep this Silver Emperor, and I'll get some for you later."

Emperor Hongzhi held the silver notes in his hand, feeling a little amused and crying.

"How is this good?"

Queen Zhang said generously: "What's wrong with it?"

"Mrs. Yongxibo is a young lady who also says every day that she should work hard to earn more money so that her husband can study with peace of mind."

"I am the queen of this dynasty, so I should share your worries."

I remember that Queen Zhang didn’t like Zhao Ce and his wife because of her brother’s affairs.

Now these two people are always talking nonsense.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "Since it is the queen's kindness, I will accept it."
