Chapter 347 Spring and Autumn Dream!
Lao Zhu just figured it out.
Zhu Yunxuan's move is to advance by retreating, which not only earned him the reputation of honesty and filial piety, but also made him unable to become a vassal by the way.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to maliciously speculate on Zhu Yunqi's behavior, this incident was indeed a coincidence, just before he ordered to surrender.
If Zhu Yunqi had just passed away his mother and concubine, or if he made such a request last year, it would be logical.
Moreover, what makes him most suspicious is that this kind of strategy is not something that Zhu Yunqi can come up with!
After Lao Zhu gave the two tigers instructions, he turned back to Qianqing Palace.Just when he wanted to chat with his grandson, he saw that the stool was empty.
Originally, Lao Zhu just wanted to scare his eldest grandson, even if that rebellious grandson wanted to be beaten, he would still dislike tired wrists.
However, he only went out for a while, and this Nisun dared to run away, which made him very angry.
"What about the rebellious grandson?"
Qin Deshun held back a smile and said.
"Go back to the emperor, the emperor's grandson saw you going out, so he ran away from the window of the side hall..."
Old Zhu smiled when he heard this, and just scolded "Nie Sun" with a smile.
Zhu Yunxi escaped from the Qianqing Palace, and when he heard the crying from the Daben Hall, he felt a pang of guilt.
If I hadn't suddenly gone to Dahontang, I guess these poor children wouldn't have been beaten, right?
Since they were beaten because of themselves, then he, the grandson of the emperor, should more or less make up for it.
After Jin Yiwei beat the last person, he put away his board and went to ask Lao Zhu to come back.
After Jin Yiwei left, the crying in Dahon Hall became louder.
Everyone felt that they had been greatly wronged. They obviously didn't do anything. Why should the emperor punish them?
"It's nothing more than punishing King Liao, His Majesty, why punish us!"
"We are studying with you in the palace, not playing with you in the palace, wow."
Qin Jie rubbed his swollen buttocks and cried, and the word "injustice" was almost written on his face.
With Qin Jie speaking, the Daben Hall immediately turned into a meeting of grievances.
Lan Chun, the youngest son of Lan Yu's family, also complained about the unfair treatment of the emperor.
With these two people taking the lead, the other princes and noble sons cried out in unison.It's just that they didn't dare to blame the emperor, they just blamed Zhu Zhi and Zhu Gui.
Because that brick on the wall was chiseled by Zhu Gui!
Now all of them have been beaten, and even the grandson of the emperor was taken away by His Majesty the Emperor to punish them, but Zhu Gui, the acting king, ran away. How could they be convinced?
Relatively speaking, Chang Jizu and Kong Yanjin calmed down a lot, just weeping silently on the sidelines.
The people in Jin Yiwei who are in charge of playing the board have undergone special training. The emperor said that they can play with a certain degree of proficiency.
In addition, Lao Zhu secretly instructed them to learn to "listen".Therefore, no matter how many people are beaten, they will cry hoarsely after being hit by twenty boards.
If the crying is quiet, it means that Jin Yiwei's board has been beaten lightly!
Chang Jizu and Kong Yanjin were also in pain, but one of them didn't dare to complain, and the other was disciplined by his grandfather and father since he was a child. No matter what he did, he had to conform to "rituals" and didn't dare to cry out loud.
Although the two don't want to cause trouble, things will always come to them by themselves.
"It's fine if we get beaten, Chang Jizu is so obedient, why should he be beaten?"
"There is also Kong Yanjin, this is the grandson of Yan Shenggong, and the future Yan Shenggong has also been punished. It is really insulting to the gentleman!"
When Chang Jizu heard the little friends around him complaining for him, he also felt very upset.
He has never been to the wall, today is purely a disaster!
Relatively speaking, Kong Yanjin was much more rational, and when he saw someone using him as a cover, he quickly wiped away his tears and explained.
"Everyone, I did make a mistake. When His Royal Highness was digging the wall, I, as a classmate of His Royal Highness, did not fulfill my duty of dissuading him."
"Afterwards, I didn't tell my husband, and I committed the crime of covering up again."
"Just now His Royal Highness King Liao was spying on the female relatives. I only cared about protecting myself and staying away from right and wrong. I didn't take the initiative to persuade her. This is also a mistake."
"There is also His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun... Cough, we are all responsible for this matter. As companions, we have the responsibility to help the Emperor Taisun and rectify the Emperor Taisun."
"Now we look at the emperor's grandson and even encourage the emperor's grandson. How is it different from the ancient courtiers?"
"Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor is right to punish, and we should be punished!"
As soon as Kong Yanjin said this great truth, everyone was stunned.
The stupid son of Lan Yu's family didn't dare to complain anymore, he just kept looking at Kong Yanjin, and secretly scolded this guy as a fool, and he could make sense out of every beating.
The son of Qin Kui's family, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, felt a sense of enlightenment. He did feel a little unfair before, but after hearing what Kong Yanjin said, he immediately remembered one thing.
That is, the other younger brothers in the family made mistakes, and the mother punished them together, absolutely impartial.
For example, a few days ago, my younger brother stole money to buy candy, and I didn't participate in it, but I was still forced to kneel in the yard together.
In the words of my mother, as an elder brother, since I see my younger brother making mistakes, I should strictly stop it...
The other nobles and sons of civil servants who entered the palace to study with him did not dare to complain no matter whether they were convinced or not, but the tears on their faces were still there, and it was obvious that they could not recover after a few days.
Relatively speaking, the princes in the palace are much more natural. After being beaten, they call the eunuch to give medicine, which is so skillful that it makes people feel distressed.
Although the two brothers Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan suffered forty boards, their injuries were similar to those of the others.
Lao Zhu's board is just for scaring people, it doesn't matter if it's forty or a hundred, who would dare to really beat the princes to a good or bad?
After Jin Yiwei hit a certain base damage value, the rest of the boards were used to make up the numbers.
Coupled with the fact that Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan are close to the emperor's grandson, Jin Yiwei Aiwu and Wuxia will be more merciful to them.
Therefore, although the two suffered forty boards, they got up from the ground vigorously after applying the ointment, clamoring that they would be a hero again 18 years later.
When the two were bragging to each other, who was crying the least, Wang De led a few eunuchs over.
"Pass down the emperor's grandson's oral order!"
"Today, all the uncles, princesses, and male and female companions are affected by loneliness. I feel deeply guilty about loneliness. I will give everyone a set of the Four Treasures of the Humanities Room, and the princess and female companions will each be given a set of inner-made Jinfengyulu perfume!"
After Wang De read Zhu Yunxi's oral order, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Quan and others were obviously a little bit surprised, and did not react to Wang De's words.
Because according to their past experience, they have only received things "given" from their father, how have they ever received "gifts" from others?
However, the eldest nephew who used to play well in the past suddenly said "give" something to them, and they really couldn't turn this corner in their hearts.
Compared to the dazed looks of the few princes, the reactions of the companions who ate, drank and played with him were much more natural.
Not to mention the gifts from the emperor's grandson, even if the princes gave them something, they would also like to thank them.
Therefore, under the leadership of Kong Yanjin, everyone thanked the emperor grandson for the reward in unison.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhi and others had no choice but to rub their buttocks and join the thank you army.
Wang De passed it on to the boys, and then to the women's family. After receiving two thanks, he led a few scumbags to leave in a swaggering manner.
The princes in the palace don't care about the Four Treasures of the Study, but the children of civil servants still like it very much.
Kong Yanjin opened the gift box with great anticipation. When he saw the Jin Ping Mei Brush, Ink, Paper and Inkstone Set produced by the most famous Fengyue Zhai in Beijing, he immediately blushed with shame, and hurriedly closed the lid in a panic.
Qin Kui also secretly read Jin Ping Mei, and it was the version commented by Qin Kui, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, himself.
Therefore, when I saw that it was a limited edition set, I danced with joy.
"Wow!"
"It is said that this item has been sold to 300 taels of silver, so there is no market for it!"
"Look at these characters and paintings, tsk tsk, it is indeed produced by Fengyue Zhai, and it sells much better than the small shops on the market!"
After hearing what Qin Kui said so well, all the princes hurriedly opened the box to look through it, and then compared it with other people.
"Hey, why are our pens different?"
"Your is red, mine is green..."
"And this inkstone, your engraving on it is a sitting maid, and mine is engraved on a swing..."
"You don't understand this, it is said that there are twelve sets of Fengyue suits, and now only the third set is released!"
When the prince's class was commenting on the gift of the emperor's grandson, all the female companions in the princess class were also commenting on it.
"Wow, it's really golden wind and jade dew!"
"My eldest sister has wanted a set for a long time, but she couldn't get it after spending 1000 taels of silver. She said it would take two months to get it!"
"happy!"
"The grandson of the emperor is really too generous!"
Guo Qianxi opened the perfume bottle on the spot, sprayed it on her body, and bragged to everyone about the elegance of the scent.
Although the two sisters, Feng Baoer and Feng Linger, didn't open it on the spot, they wrapped the things in paper as if they were treasures, planning to take them home to show off to their grandfather.
After Zhao Pan'er received the gift, she stroked the gift box lightly with her finger, felt the delicate texture of the gift box, and secretly thought, if she took it out and sold it, she wouldn't be held accountable, right?
Relatively speaking, Xu Miaojin was less troublesome, ordered the maid to put away the gift box, and then hid aside with an ice handkerchief to cool her hands.
Although she is superb in martial arts, her hand is still about to swell after being beaten by the aunts in the palace.
As for the golden wind and jade dew, she doesn't rarely use it. When she comes back, she can just give it to her.
Zhu Yunxi reckoned that after everyone received the presents, those who should be surprised were almost surprised, so he strolled in from the door.
When the prince's class saw the emperor's grandson coming in person, they naturally wanted to thank him face to face.
Zhu Yunxi encouraged them a few more words, telling them to study well and concentrate on learning skills from the masters so that they can serve the country in the future.
Hearing what his nephew said, Zhu Zhi giggled from below.
Others don't know Zhu Yunxi, but he knows this grandson too well.This year, Zhu Yunxie skipped the most classes at the top of the main hall.
Hearing Zhu Zhi's laughter, Zhu Yunxi glared at Zhu Zhi and then slipped away. She encouraged her like a princess and took a look at these little beauties.
Generally speaking, the female companions are not very old, and they all belong to the age that hovers on the edge of crime.
Fortunately, Zhu Yunxi was not in a hurry. If he wanted to get married, he would not care about the legal age. It would take three years just to keep his filial piety for Zhu Biao.
After two years, the little girls here will probably grow into big girls too.
Just who to choose?
The same question was also circling in Lu Shiyuan's mind.
The Jinling Stock Exchange has been open for a few days, but it has not been officially launched. Instead, it allows individuals to familiarize themselves with the securities trading process, submit purchase intentions and purchase quantities, and so on.
Such a novelty naturally attracted many wealthy businessmen from the south of the Yangtze River to watch.Lu Shiyuan, as the current head of the Lu family in Zhenjiang, naturally had to come here to observe.
What annoys her, however, is that each person can only buy one.
Therefore, he is now standing in front of the two brands of Jinling Coal Industry and Minggang Chamber of Commerce, hesitating which one he should buy.
When Lu Shiyuan was struggling, a handsome young man beside him smiled and said.
"Daddy, what's the trouble with this?"
"If you buy one, it's all right if I buy one?"
"The grandson of the emperor only said that one person is not allowed to buy two, but he didn't say that it is a family that buys two!"
Lu Shiyuan laughed out loud when he heard the words, and pinched his daughter Lu Hongfu's cheek.
"Naughty!"
"The reason why the emperor forbids one person to buy two at the same time must have deep-seated considerations. How can you break this rule at will?"
"Let's just buy one, just buy a million taels for fun."
"If this thing is really as good as the emperor's grandson said, in the future you will also have another thing by your side."
"Daddy will be under the Nine Springs, and he will be worthy of your mother!"
"father!"
When Lu Hongfu heard this, he gave his father a reproachful look, and then ran away puffing up his cheeks.
Seeing this, Lu Shiyuan hurriedly gave the old servant a wink, signaling the old servant to send some people to follow and protect his precious daughter.
As for himself, it is better to continue to struggle with which one to buy.
Lu Shiyuan thought for a while, and felt that in the short term, the Ming Steel Chamber of Commerce must be more suitable. It should be very valuable within a few years, and the dividends will be considerable.
But if you are looking for long-term stability, you still have to buy shares in Jinling Coal.
Because the daily needs of the people are nothing more than firewood, rice, oil and salt.
And this "firewood" is ranked first!
Lu Shiyuan took a form at the counter of the exchange, wrote down his purchase intention and quantity, and handed it to the clerk inside.
The clerk took it over and saw that the other party chose Jinling Coal Industry, and there was no surprise on his face.
In fact, many older people choose Jinling Coal Industry, and only younger businessmen choose steel and the like.
Just flabbergasted when he saw the number of purchases.
Ten thousand shares?
Who is this person who dares to boast such a big mouth?
Although their intention is just a reference, it does not mean that they will buy so many in the end.But he can write [-] shares, which fully demonstrates his self-confidence and confidence.
If you don't have a net worth of more than one million, you definitely don't dare to take this risky move.
As everyone knows, the 100 million taels of silver was just for fun to Lu Shiyuan.
You must know that the Lu family is known as the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. Every time his family trades with overseas fan merchants, the total value of their goods is in the tens of millions.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked down on Shanghai trade, and felt that sea trade was laborious and costly to the people, and he didn't collect much tax, so he was beaten by those unknown small countries on the sea.
As everyone knows, the Southern Song Dynasty relied on maritime trade to fight back and forth with the Kingdom of Jin and Mongolia for more than 100 years.
Even in the Yuan Dynasty, there were millions of taels of tax in sea trade every year, which was far less than what Lao Zhu thought.
As for why Lao Zhu can't collect taxes and thinks that sea trade is not profitable, it is natural that some people don't want him to collect taxes.
After Lu Shiyuan wrote down his purchase intention, he left the exchange and went to the bank next door.
Although the bank and the exchange were born at the same time, he has 1 distrusts of the bank, and he always feels that this thing is a liar.
Therefore, he only saved 10 taels to play in it, pretending to be a so-called VIP customer and it was over.
Anyway, this is the property of the emperor's grandson. Even if the emperor's grandson doesn't pay them interest in the future, he can always return the principal to them, right?
Even if the emperor's grandson doesn't even pay the principal, it doesn't matter to Lu Shiyuan, he should pay taxes to the old Zhu's family.
After all, their family hasn't paid a penny of tax for the sea trade in these years.
While Lu Shiyuan was checking the bank's operating manual as a VIP customer, Lu Hongfu led the people back to the exchange and asked the clerk at the counter for a form to fill out.
She is a bit stubborn, the more her father won't let her do anything, she will do it.
"Minggang Chamber of Commerce!"
"Ten thousand shares!"
The guys at the counter were stunned when they saw Lu Hongfu's form. What's going on today? Why are they all so loud?
Even bragging about not paying taxes is not such a bragging!
After Lu Hongfu secretly wrote down his purchase intention, he went out to find his father.But the housekeeper told him that his father was having a meeting with several other businessmen in Jiangnan at the Zhenjiang Guild Hall.
When Lu Hongfu heard this, she was a little annoyed, because according to the rules of the chamber of commerce, she was not eligible to participate.
He can only lead two silly maids and stay outside to eat fruit and snacks!
Even so, Lu Hongfu rushed over resentfully, sat outside and waited for his father to go home together after the meeting.
However, not long after she sat down, several young masters in fine clothes walked in.
"Hey, this isn't my cousin, why don't you go in, what are you doing sitting here?"
Seeing that they were the cousins she hated the most, Lu Hongfu immediately turned her face away with a cold snort.
"Humph!"
Seeing this, Lu Zongxiu laughed, patted the shoulders of the two younger brothers and said.
"You two don't provoke her."
"Our chamber of commerce doesn't allow women's relatives to participate in meetings. Sister Hongfu is sitting here sulking!"
Seeing this, Lu Hongfu stretched out his small fists to protest against his cousins.
"Who says women are inferior to men!"
"Sangtian and the weaving factory I manage, which one is better than you!"
When the three brothers Lu Zongxiu, Lu Zongda, and Lu Zongjun heard this, embarrassing smiles immediately appeared on their faces.
Because the businesses the three of them are in charge of are basically pretty miserable.Especially in recent years, it was all supported by the property of the uncle's family, which prevented a few of them from going to the streets to beg for food.
But Lu Hongfu said it mercilessly in front of so many outsiders, which still made them feel a little embarrassed.
"Humph!"
"So what if you can, we won't be the ones to inherit the Lu family's business in the future?"
Lu Hongfu said not to be outdone.
"Pooh!"
"If I recruit a son-in-law, I can still inherit the family business!"
"You guys want to worry about my family's property, so go ahead and make your spring and autumn dreams!"
