Chapter 174: The Sharp Zhu Di

The guards were all unjustly killed. Protecting Your Majesty is the responsibility, and not rushing in is a dead end... But when you rush in, it hurts to get slap in!

Zhu Yuanzhang's big hand was like a palm-leaf fan, and beat several guards around in circles. They didn't have the courage of Liu Chun and didn't dare to run away at all, so they could only stand straight and stood straight.

Of course, there are also smart people who saw Lao Zhu raise his hand and call him, and hurriedly kneeled down to apologize.

When he knelt, his slap fell on the person behind him.

Bang!

With a slap, there were Venus in front of me, which was so miserable...

"Get out of here!"

Old Zhu punched and kicked these guys out of the hall.

After beating a few guys, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger disappeared. His Majesty the Emperor actually laughed, and he was still very happy!

"Little bastard, come here for me!"

Liu Chun was very scared, afraid that Lao Zhu would beat him, but Liu Chun didn't dare to go over, so he could only get in front of Zhu Yuanzhang step by step.

"What is your Majesty's order? I respectfully accept the order, and I will never say anything."

"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Sit down, I want to have a good chat with you...What do you think is money?"

This is a good question!

Liu Chun also became interested. He just talked about some business stories with Zhu Yuanzhang, and now Liu Chun feels it is necessary to sublimate.

"Your Majesty, I think that money actually represents a kind of power. The key to this power lies in the use, not possession!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stepped in and listened silently.

"Gold and silver as currency are actually just a manifestation of wealth. Storing gold and silver is just for emergencies!" Liu Chun explained further.

"Isn't this enough?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked back.

"For ordinary people, it's really enough, but it may not be necessary for the Emperor who owns the world."

"Don't flatter me, just tell me the point!"

Liu Chun straightened his back, "The key point is the direction of money, the direction of interests... Your Majesty can use the wealth in his hands to make the Ming Dynasty better!"

"Did you let me spend all the money saving?"

"No!" Liu Chun said decisively: "I think we should invest money in a more valuable place, let money make money and create more wealth. Instead of lying there and waiting for mold to get mold!" Liu Chun leaned forward and further suggested: "Your Majesty, the Royal Bank has achieved initial success. Next, it will be launched throughout the Ming Dynasty, and the economic activities of the whole world will be presented to Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "It sounds nice, where is my treasury?"

"Your Majesty has the assets of the Royal Bank, but it is not as good as that of many treasurys!"

"Hmph! What I want is real money and silver, not illusory shares!" Zhu Yuanzhang was as stubborn as a lump of wood on this issue, with no room for maneuvering. "I want to save the warehouse and lie on the mountain of gold and silver!" Old Zhu roared loudly, and the blue veins on his neck were prominent.

It is difficult for Liu Chun to understand Lao Zhu's obsession with gold and silver, but it does not prevent him from coming up with a bad idea.

"Your Majesty... Do you think this is OK? Let the Royal Bank pay and rent the warehouse in His Majesty's palace as a place to store gold."

"What? It exists in my palace?"

"That's right... Is there any safer place in the world than the palace? Putting gold and silver in the palace is the safest." Liu Chun said seriously: "But one thing is that Your Majesty cannot use it. Of course, the bank will give Your Majesty a rent every year, and this money can be controlled at will!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's old eyes turned around, "What's this about putting it in the palace but not letting me move? What if I want to see it?"

"Of course it's okay!" Liu Chun said again: "Why would the bank just pay another sum of money and hire His Majesty as the custodian."

Lao Zhu rolled his eyes, "You bastard, who do you think of me as? Are I so greedy for money?"

Liu Chun closed his mouth tightly. If he had to say it, Lao Zhu was really such a thing!

The hall finally fell into tranquility, and Zhu Yuanzhang was pondering... The gold and silver were still placed in the palace, and he could still watch and appreciate it casually. The only problem was that he could not control it at will.

In fact, for so many years, except for establishing the Royal Bank, Lao Zhu has never wasted the gold and silver of the treasury.

In theory, there is no difference... "The rent and storage costs cannot be less than 10,000... No, it is 100,000!"

"I can pay 300,000!"

"Three hundred thousand?" Old Zhu was stunned.

Liu Chun spit out two words from his mouth: "New coins!"

Wow!

Old Zhu moved his facial features and jumped up in anger, "Baby, I won't be able to kill you today!"

This time, the warriors outside the hall looked at me, looked at you, and turned a blind eye to the movements on the other side. They would not be humble. If they went in, they would have to become Lao Zhu's punching bag...

After spending a fulfilling and pleasant night in the palace, Liu Chun shook his head, his eyes flushed, and he was listless. Zhu Yuanzhang was simply a madman. He got angry after talking for a while and wanted to hit someone. He had to run away. When he was tired of running, he continued to talk... until dawn.

Liu Chun is already full of energy and can't support him. He urgently needs to find a place to take a rest.

This man in Zhu Yuanzhang, who was over 60 years old, was so energetic that he washed his face with cold water and went to the morning court.

It turns out that he is the true dragon emperor, and ordinary people do not have this spirit!

Liu Chun sighed and returned to his residence. He was sleeping and didn't know that the capital was spreading!

Liu Chun is simply amazing to be able to make His Majesty take action and chase him everywhere!

The last one who enjoyed this treatment was Prince Zhu Biao!

Other vassal kings stood aside... There was even a saying in the capital that Liu Chun was the flesh and blood left by His Majesty among the people. If it weren't for his own son, how could he be so tolerant and generous?

You know, Zhu Yuanzhang had no feelings for his ministers, so why is Liu Chun so special?

Ninety percent of them are illegitimate children!

Many people were moved by the news and prepared gifts to come to see Liu Chun and raise their relationship. Some people were even more direct and went to curry favor with Liu San who had just entered Beijing... Some even said that it was Liu San who protected the palace maid who thought was pregnant, and then worked hard to raise his son for His Majesty. If it weren't for the great contribution, how could His Majesty give a marriage to a thousand households of the Jinyiwei, and marry the daughter of the Feng family...

The more you think about it, the more reasonable it makes!

"Liu Chun, brother, do you want to go to Zongzheng Temple? Let's recognize your relatives!" Zhu Di teased with a smile.

Liu Chun just woke up and his eyes were still red!

"Your Highness, don't joke, your Majesty wishes to break my bones. Is there anyone who treats his son like this?"

Zhu Di shook his head gently, "Oh, Liu Chun, do you know that many vassal kings are hoping that their father can beat them!"

"I think those people must not include Your Highness!" Liu Chun said angrily.

"wrong!"

Zhu Di leaned forward suddenly, and almost faced Liu Chun, and his expression of Meiyisi had to be true. Zhu Di said very seriously: "I am the one I look forward to most! It's a pity..." Zhu Di shook his head, "This time I went to Beijing, except for the first day of the first meeting, I always stayed with others. Fortunately, I have you, when I recruit Japanese pirates, I can still say a few words to my father! Although as the son of my father, I am not as close as a minister! Liu Chun, do you know, how much I envy you?" Zhu Di's fists were clenched tightly!

Zhu Di has always been an extremely calm person, at least in front of Liu Chun, he has never been so ruthless!

Is it ridiculous that the dignified King of Yan actually envyes a minister?

But from a certain perspective, it is indeed the case!

Not only did Liu Chun meet the king several times, but Zhu Yuanzhang made an exception and stayed in the palace for a night of conversation! Apart from the crown prince Zhu Biao, which prince can receive such treatment?

Liu Chun was speechless. He understood Zhu Di's desire, but also understood Lao Zhu's situation... More than 20 sons, whoever he was too close to would attract other people's suspicion. If he was kind to every son, how could Lao Zhu have time!

He simply threw it aside and ignored it.

How can outsiders talk nonsense about royal matters?

Liu Chun was silent for a while and said quietly: "Your Highness, the King of Yan in my mind should be calm and wise, always keeping a clear mind, having strong self-control, and extremely cunning. He will not easily reveal his inner general, the wise king! Your Highness... you have lost your composure!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Di shook his head and laughed, "I really didn't expect that you can be so arrogant to me. Are you talking about your heart?"

"Of course, I'm just telling the truth!"

"Okay, I'll tell you what I think." Zhu Di's pupils contracted, his eyes narrowed slightly, his fists were clenched, and after a while, he slowly let go. He approached Liu Chun and asked softly in a voice that only two people could hear, "Is there any chance?"

Liu Chunchi was stunned for a moment. He couldn't understand why Zhu Di was so explicit? It seemed that they were not close to this level, right?

Zhu Di looked at Liu Chun and couldn't help but smile and said, "Boy, can't you really see that I am like? When you didn't let me get involved in foreign trade, you suggested that my father open the first branch in Peiping. You are good at it! You are afraid that I will be lazy and indulge in pleasure, so you don't let me earn wealth that is within your reach. You have prompted the bank to open to Peiping to give me the opportunity to develop my power!"

Zhu Di was very proud and chuckled: "I don't have the favor of my father and the support of the court officials. But you, Liu Chun, are willing to bet on me. Do you really look forward to me so much?"

Liu Chun wanted to say that there was no, but he couldn't find a reason to refute... In fact, his measures were completely different for the north and south. Although foreign trade was very lively, Liu Chun's positioning was a high-end route, and he tried to avoid impacting the small peasant economy in Jiangnan.

But in Beijing and other places, Liu Chun wanted to organize everyone, and he would not let go of the Japanese pirates at the sea!

Now that the bank has been opened to Peiping, the defense is pale and powerless.

In fact, Liu Chun is actively preparing and betting on Zhu Di!

"Your Highness. I will only say what I say today, and don't say it again in the future."

Zhu Di nodded, "Yes! But now I want to invite you some wine!"

“My alcohol capacity is not good!”
