Although Lao Zhu killed officials very ruthlessly, he was always very cautious about using troops externally.

Even against Bei Yuan, most of them used small-scale troops to eat away at Bei Yuan's living space little by little, without ever thinking of a once and for all solution.

Because he fully learned the lesson of Bei Yuan's demise. If Bei Yuan were not so greedy for land and wanted to step on every corner, the country would not have been destroyed.

Therefore, even if he was short of money and wanted to sell the palace, he was still not very enthusiastic about maritime matters.

"Just save it. We haven't punished you for sending troops privately and making firearms privately. You, a little traitor, dare to deceive us into using troops against Japan. You really deserve to be punished!"

"Grandpa Huang, are you not short of money?"

"Hi!"

"Since we became the emperor, when have we ever had enough money?"

"Money is always available after a squeeze. Let's put aside the unimportant things first and focus on the important things!"

"This is the way to govern a country!"

When Lao Zhu said this, he had a look of contentment on his face, and his little eyes full of expectation were obvious. He just wanted his grandson to praise him a few words. Even if he praised him for his wisdom, martial arts, and talent, he would still be modest.

Accepted.

However, Zhu Yunxi was still thinking about how to go to Japan to mine. How could he have guessed Lao Zhu's little idea?

"Grandpa Huang, would you like to think about it again?"

"What are you considering?"

"If we say no, we won't. If you dare to go to sea again, believe it or not, I will tear up the canonization edict if you change hands!"

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips in disdain when he heard this. Even if he knew that the old man was deliberately trying to scare him, he would not dare to run away.

Of course, he would not admit that he was timid and was afraid of being swallowed by the waves.

"Grandpa Huang, your idea of ​​governing the country is not very good. Isn't it just tearing down the east wall and mending the west wall?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his hair exploded on the spot.

If an official said he didn't know how to run the country, he would drag him out and kill him. If the people said he didn't know how to run the country, he would just slap him with a stick and get rid of the problem. But only Da Sun said he didn't know how to run the country.

It was like poking his dragon scales with a knife, and then stabbing him again.

"What do you know!"

"Isn't that what governing a country is like? When you see any dynasty that has too much money to spend, they always demolish the east wall and mend the west wall!"

"Qin Chao!"

"The Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall in the north, built Chidao in the interior, and also built the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and the Abang Palace..."

Lao Zhu interrupted Da Sun and said with a joking look on his face.

"So the Second Emperor of Qin died!"

Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a while when he heard this, and then said angrily.

"Okay, you wise old man!"

"By the way, Grandpa Huang, are you really going to let me establish the Xuanwu Navy and give me the Chongming Navy?"

After hearing this, Lao Zhu pushed Ni Sun in, then sat on the bed and crossed his legs and said.

"That's natural!"

"If you can protect the people of Jiangnan from Japanese pirates, this will not only be a great service to the country, but also a great kindness to the people of Jiangnan. They will support you wholeheartedly!"

"It's just that the court is short of money now and can't allocate much military spending to you. However, you can support war with war, just like before. Every time you seize something, give half to the court, and the remaining half is at your own disposal."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, his face immediately collapsed.

"Grandpa Huang, you think things are too simple. The reason why my grandson was able to seize so much this time is because of the accumulation of Japanese pirates for more than ten years."

"If we go out to sea to fight against Japanese pirates in the future, we won't be able to take advantage of it. If we fight for a year, let alone capture them, we may have to pay hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

When Lao Zhu heard what his eldest grandson said, he immediately nodded in understanding, thinking to himself that our eldest grandson was so smart that he didn't get dizzy even after winning such a big battle.

Just the thought of raising a navy master gave Lao Zhu a headache.

It's not like he didn't have a navy back then. When he fought against Chen Youliang, he spent all his efforts to build thousands of ships. The money was like water, but it made him feel distressed to death.

Therefore, after defeating Chen Youliang, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​building a water division. He only retained a few standing armies to be responsible for the safety of major rivers and lakes, and nothing else.

It's all up to chance.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Grandpa Huang, if you let me restart the Shipping Department, let me do business with merchants and collect taxes, I will have money to support the navy!"

"Well..."

Lao Zhu deliberately pretended to be embarrassed until Da Sun almost shook his arm off, then he said with a smile.

"That's right!"

"But we are only allowed to open a shipping company in Songjiang Prefecture!"

"Songjiang Mansion is your fiefdom now. You can mess with it as much as you like. As long as it doesn't make the world angry and people complain, and the people will write a letter to scold you, we don't care!"

"ha!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he was so happy that he gnawed at Lao Zhu's big pig head.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson has thought of something else. He plans to build a royal school for girls, specifically to teach royal princesses and princesses poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. What do you think?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: Why hasn't this grandson forgotten this? Is he deliberately trying to get into trouble with Mr. Lu?

"What about the female celebrity?"

"Won't Nv Hong stop learning?"

"What's the use of learning the art of embroidery? We, royal ladies, are still selling embroidery to make money!"

Lao Zhu was so angry that he knocked on Da Sun's head.

"You!"

"You may not think that we are a royal family now, but we have to be prepared for danger in times of peace!"

"If our Ming Dynasty disappears in the future, they can learn to be female celebrities and support themselves with their skills!"

Zhu Yunxi never thought that Lao Zhu had such far-reaching thoughts and even wanted to let the royal family have a skill.

But if he wanted to learn how to support his family, he would have a lot of tricks to make money.

"Grandpa Huang, you don't actually have to learn female prostitution to support your family."

"My grandson knows many ways to make money, and he can definitely teach them to the princesses in the palace and my four younger sisters!"

"For example, cooking, medicine, medical treatment, French fries... Oh, we don't have potatoes yet, but we can make jelly, sell barbecue, etc."

Lao Zhu listened to his grandson talking a lot, but he felt that these things were not as clean and easy as embroidery.

For a moment, I didn’t know whether to praise or scold this naughty grandson.

"Don't forget, there is also the reputation of the Lu family. Ms. Lu is one of the most talented girls in the capital. The princess she trained will sound much better!"

"Grandpa Huang, I have a master!"

"I will give them a master and let them join the Confucian sect. Not to mention the mere civil servant Qingliu, even the son of Duke Yan Sheng will have to rush to propose marriage!"

"Well..."

Lao Zhu was really excited. If the princess or princess in the palace could really become a disciple of a famous Confucian scholar, it would really bring a lot of face to the royal family. But when he thought that he would be a prince and no one would teach him, Lao Zhu felt a little bit.

depressed.

"Grandson, your uncles have no one to teach you yet. Do you want to..."

"Didn't Master Fang teach them?"

Lao Zhu was furious when he heard this.

"Can that be the same!"

"Anyway, if you can persuade your master to join the palace as a teacher, and also teach your uncles, we will allow you to do this."

"Otherwise, don't mention this matter again!"

Zhu Yunxi got up from the bed in confusion upon hearing this.

"Then I'll go now!"

"Why are you so anxious? It will be the same if you leave the palace tomorrow..."

"My grandson can't wait for a moment!"

Lao Zhu looked at Da Sun who ran out in a hurry, with a helpless smile on his face.

I don’t know who this monkey resembles because of his impatient temper. It seems that I need to find an opportunity to temper him!

Zhu Yunxi went straight to Yang Xinlu's house after leaving the palace. Generally speaking, the two masters Gao Ming and Qin Hengbo got together at the Yang house.

Today was no exception. Zhu Yunxi directly blocked three old men sitting around drinking tea.
