East Palace.

In the main hall.

Following Princess Anqing's exclamation, Hu Fei also recognized what was in the box. It was indeed a piece of soft armor made of gold wire.

Originally, he only recognized gold at first sight, but after Princess Anqing reminded him, he recognized it and couldn't help but be a little shocked.

The gold-threaded soft armor is invulnerable and is as precious and rare as a sweaty BMW!

"Your Highness, is this too expensive?"

Hu Fei raised his head, looked at Zhu Biao, and couldn't help but ask.

Although he likes this gift very much, the more expensive the gift, the more valuable it is. Once accepted, it is a big favor.

Princess Anqing on the side did not expect that her two brothers actually liked Hu Fei so much, and they always made big moves.

"As long as you like it, there is nothing valuable or not. I will give it to you with both hands."

Zhu Biao smiled and said nonchalantly.

"Of course I do, it's just..."

Hu Fei grimaced and stopped talking.

"What? You just accepted the gift from the fourth brother and don't plan to accept the gift from me, right?"

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei and asked in a deep voice.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood."

"Weichen just feels that such a treasure should be kept for His Royal Highness himself."

Hu Fei shook his head and hurriedly explained.

"I stay in the palace all year round and rarely encounter danger, but you are different. You offend people everywhere all day long. This soft armor is invulnerable and can protect your life at critical moments. It is perfect to send it to you."

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei and said seriously.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness, the Crown Prince. I would rather be respectful than obey your orders."

Hu Fei thanked him and said respectfully.

He knew that he had to accept today's gift or not, otherwise Zhu Biao would definitely misunderstand!

Seeing that Hu Fei finally agreed to accept it, Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction, and the trace of dissatisfaction in his expression gradually faded away.

"Since everyone has changed their mouth to call me Emperor Brother, from now on I will refer to you as Emperor Brother in private."

Zhu Biao waved his hand and said slowly.

"yes."

Hu Fei nodded in agreement and forced a smile.

"Also, what I just said came from the bottom of my heart. Since you are now the fourth rank official and have become the consort, you should think twice before doing anything."

"You should pay more attention to your own image and don't do whatever you want like before. This will definitely be beneficial to your future promotion."

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, looked at Hu Fei seriously and said.

"I naturally understand what the emperor wants, but if you care about everyone's opinions, then life will be too tiring. That's not the way I want to live."

"Besides, I don't have much of an image to begin with. Whether it's the God of Poetry, the most talented man in the Ming Dynasty, or the most handsome man in the capital, it's just a title to me, it's of no importance."

"What I care about is whether I am happy or not and whether I make Chang Shu happy. That's enough."

"I like Brother Huang's gift very much, and I am very grateful to Brother Huang for his support all the time, but I have to go on my own. I hope Brother Huang will not let me live the way everyone wants to see, otherwise it will not be me.

"

Hu Fei looked at Zhu Biao and said extremely seriously.

"Well, since you have said so, I will no longer force you. You will make your own decisions on everything. I believe that you know what to do in the face of big issues such as right and wrong."

Zhu Biao nodded hesitantly and said seriously, as if he was relieved or deliberately reminding Hu Fei of something.

"Wei Chen understands."

"By the way, it would have been difficult for Wei Chen to escape from the chaos in Chunwei without His Highness the Crown Prince. Wei Chen has been thinking about how to express his gratitude to the emperor."

"I had an idea just now, so I decided to give the emperor a piece of advice to express my gratitude."

Hu Fei cupped his hands and said slowly.

"Oh? I am willing to listen attentively."

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then said slowly, looking at Hu Fei seriously.

"Your Majesty is kind and virtuous. He is well aware of the pain caused by famines to farmers. He often reduces the taxes of people in various places affected by disasters and wars at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty's fall. He also often provides relief. I admire him very much."

"Wei Chen had previously suggested to His Majesty at the annual banquet that a large-scale immigration be carried out in order to allow the people to participate in farming and resume production, but this is far from enough."

"In addition, we can also organize people from all over the country to build water conservancy projects; vigorously promote the planting of mulberry, hemp, cotton and other cash crops and fruit crops,"

"At the same time, we can also enrich the people, suppress the powerful, liberate slaves, send people to all parts of the country to measure land, conduct household registration checks, control people's livelihood, and understand people's livelihood."

"Also, in peacetime, military camps can also be established in various places, allowing soldiers to work in the fields, and the soldiers and civilians can live together. Military camps can be managed by the garrison, and the government provides cattle and farm tools."

"The border troops will be divided into three parts to defend the city and seven parts to farm the fields. The inland army will be divided into two parts to defend the city and eight parts to farm the fields. By then, the army will basically be self-sufficient in military supplies."

"In addition to civilian villages and military villages, there are also merchant villages. Merchants can hire people to work in the fields at the border and deliver grain on the spot. This method can save trafficking costs and make more profits. The implementation of merchant villages can also solve the problem of military grain.

problem, and at the same time, the frontier can be developed.”

"According to this method, in ten years at most, the farmland in our Ming Dynasty can reach at least four million hectares!"

Hu Fei hesitated for a moment, stood up slowly, and began to pace back and forth in the hall, talking loudly.

After hearing what Hu Fei said, Zhu Biao looked shocked and looked at Hu Fei in disbelief, feeling very excited in his heart.

He didn't expect that with a piece of gold silk armor, he would get Hu Fei to come up with such a good idea.

Princess Anqing on the side looked almost crazy as she looked at Hu Fei strolling in the courtyard, her eyes were shining brightly, and her heart was filled with joy.

In her eyes, Hu Fei was so tall at this moment, which fascinated her.

"Hu Fei, Hu Fei, you are worthy of being the most talented person in the Ming Dynasty. Today I finally understand what it means to listen to your words, which is better than ten years of reading!"

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei and couldn't help but said loudly, his voice excited.

"Your Majesty, your praise is too great. This is just a humble opinion of a humble minister. I hope it will be useful to your Majesty, and I hope it will be useful to the Ming Dynasty."

Hu Fei smiled and said seriously.

"This is more than just a humble opinion. You are too humble. This is a rare and good way to govern the country! My vision is indeed right!"

"In a moment, I will go into the palace to meet my father in person and tell him this good plan!"

Zhu Biao said excitedly, his face full of joy.

"I hope that the emperor will not tell my father that this good policy came from the mouth of a minor minister."

Hu Fei hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhu Biao seriously and said.

"For such a good plan, my father will definitely appreciate it. Why don't you let me tell the truth?"

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei and asked seriously.

Although he asked this question, he actually knew that Hu Fei wanted to give him the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

"Wei Chen just wants to be an idle prince-in-law and doesn't want to disturb anyone anymore."

Hu Fei smiled and said slowly.

"Your spirit alone is enough to surpass countless self-proclaimed talents in the world!"

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei and said sincerely.

"I will accept the compliment from the emperor brother."

Hu Fei smiled and said.

After the two of them chatted for a long time, Hu Feicai hugged the gold silk armor, took Princess Anqing's hand and said goodbye to Zhu Biao, and left slowly, leaving behind a light and gentle figure.

Seeing Hu Fei's retreating back, Zhu Biao felt very complicated. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately left the East Palace and went straight to the Hall of Nourishing Heart.

…

On the way back.

In the carriage, Princess Anqing looked at Hu Fei, who was holding the gold silk armor in his arms, with a faint smile on her lips and her eyes full of appreciation.

"Are there flowers on my face?"

Hu Fei looked up at Princess Anqing and asked with a smile.

"The light in you is stronger than all the beautiful things in the world."

Princess Anqing looked at Hu Fei and couldn't help but say.

After hearing what Princess Anqing said, Hu Fei couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't expect that you, who have always been introverted, would become so glib now."

"It is said that those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are dark. If my father and mother know about it, they should say that I led you astray."

Hu Fei said jokingly while shaking his head and smiling.

"There is no absolute red or black in this world. If someone says you are black, then I would rather accompany you to become black."

"No matter what others say, in my eyes, no one can compare to you!"

Princess Anqing looked at Hu Fei and said decisively.

After listening to Princess Anqing's words, Hu Fei hesitated for a moment, couldn't help showing a knowing smile, and stretched out his hand to hug Princess Anqing into his arms...
