The sound of bells and tripods echoes endlessly.

Ji Boying sat on the Grand Master's chair and drank fire ox, quietly waiting for the arrival of the emperor and princes.

The fire beef he drank before was not enough, so Ji Boying switched to imported fire beef.

On the throne of the emperors, the first person to appear was Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji.

After half a year of recuperation, the Emperor Xuande, who was about to die, has obviously returned to normal. He has returned to a strong body that can bend a bow and shoot vultures, and ride a horse through the night.

I just don’t know if Emperor Xuande can create a few more sons in the coming years. As the saying goes, if you are unlucky to a certain extent, things will work. Zhu Qiyu, the second son after creating the God of War, is obviously much better. If he creates a few more sons, maybe he can.

Give birth to an emperor who will last forever.

"Immortal Master."

Seeing Ji Boying again, Emperor Xuande's eyes were obviously full of joy. Without saying anything, he first bowed deeply to Ji Boying.

"How about conquering Japan?"

Ji Boying glanced at Xuande Zhu Zhanji.

"Going back to the Immortal Master, everything is going well. The Japanese people are very weak and their soldiers are all poorly armored. They are unable to stop our Ming army. Although the Japanese country has not been completely pacified at the moment, the four island silver mine groups mentioned by the Immortal Master have been destroyed by us.

The army occupied it."

"A few days ago, I issued an order to mine silver mines immediately and transport back all the existing silver in Japan."

"It's strange to say that there are tens of millions of silver hoards in this Japanese country, but the people are so poor that they can't even afford clothes."

In fact, it’s no wonder that in Xiaozhi, although there is a lot of money in Xiaozhi, there is really no land to spend, and there is only so much productivity in the country.

For an island country like Xiaoli, if it does not develop sea trade, no matter how much silver it has, it will be useless.

This is also a sideways verification of a theory: more silver does not mean wealth.

Emperor Xuande was full of confidence when he mentioned tens of millions of silver.

This is the so-called money in the bag and a strong back.

Later generations regarded the Xuande dynasty, especially Emperor Xuande, as a prodigal son.

Yongle spent a lot of national power to conquer Jiaozhi, which penetrated thousands of miles into the grassland, but was completely destroyed in the Xuande Dynasty.

First, they withdrew a large number of guard posts outside the Great Wall in the north, gave up the Nuer Gandu Division, and then abandoned the Jiaozhi Chief Envoy Division, which reduced the territory under Yongle's control by half.

But in fact, although there are personal factors of Zhu Zhanji, it is more of a national factor.

That was the Yongle Dynasty, which suffered too much loss.

During the Xuande period, the state treasury could no longer support the massive military expenditures on the Great Wall Outer Guards Station and Jiaozhi, and Zhu Zhanji was committed to recuperating, so he chose to give up.

If the national treasury is abundant and the money on hand is sufficient, there is no need for Zhu Zhanji to give up Jiaozhi.

"Yeah."

Ji Boying nodded and signaled Emperor Xuande to sit down.

After Emperor Xuande, Zhu Laosi and Jianwen also appeared.

In addition to the two of them, there was another one dragging along, that is the monk Daoyan in black.

The three of them were equally excited when they saw Ji Boying.

Emperor Hong Xi and Xiao Zhu also appeared at their place. Although the father and son looked happy, their faces were not very good. It seemed that Hong Xi's expedition to Japan did not go smoothly.

This is true, the Hongxi time and space is in, the Hongxi Emperor has just ascended the throne, and there is still a Han King who is waiting to be roasted. He is not honest from time to time, and it is normal for a big war to go wrong.

"Master Immortal, I have sent someone to inform my father about your return. If he knows that you have returned from your immortal journey, he will definitely be overjoyed and come to see you as soon as possible."

Zhu Biao's words were full of excitement.

At the same time, Yongle time and space.

Forbidden City, in the Yangju Palace.

Old Zhu Di was sitting on the dragon chair, with a bowl of rice and several dishes of side dishes placed on the imperial table in front of him. This was Emperor Yongle's lunch.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji stood on the left and right, while Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui knelt on the left and right.

Originally, Zhu Gaoxu was going to be sent back to his fiefdom.

However, due to the temporary conquest of Japan, Lao Zhu Di will still have to pay close attention to the Northern Expedition after the conquest of Japan is over.

Due to the war, Old Zhu Di couldn't do without his son who was good at fighting for the time being, and he was used to having Zhu Gaoxu by his side, so he let Zhu Gaoxu stay in Shuntian.

However, it is obvious that since half a year ago, Yongle Zhu Gaoxu has begun to fail, and he has basically been struggling in the battle against Japan.

After all, the pie is full, and no matter how hard I work, I can’t get any results, and I still do nothing.

In addition to these three sons and one grandson, there are also a group of people kneeling in the hall, including a group of civil servants headed by Yang Shiqi and Jin Youzi, as well as a rather special being, Xia Yuanji.

The reason why I focus on picking out Xia Yuan Ji Xia Shangshu is because this Yongle money bag is being pushed to the ground by Jin Yiwei, and his face is full of arrogance and dissatisfaction.

At this time, five or six imperial guards came in cautiously carrying a large clock, handling it with care.

"Put it in."

Old Zhu Di took a bite of side dishes and glanced at Xia Yuanji.

The Jin Yiwei received the order, and in front of all the ministers, they directly picked up Mr. Xia, who had just been released from prison two months ago, and threw him in, and then covered the clock on the ground.

Another group of Jin Yiwei brought in a pile of charcoal and piled it around the big clock.

Looking at this posture, it seems that Xia Yuanji is going to be roasted.

This scene fell in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, and he felt an inexplicable numbness in his scalp, and a sense of déjà vu arose in his heart, as if he had experienced this unique sourness in another world.

However, his intuition told him that the props might be different.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you?"

The arrogant layman kneeling beside him realized that something was wrong with Zhu Gaoxu and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little hot."

Zhu Gaoxu wiped his sweat.

‘Hot?’

Zhu Gaosui glanced outside the house. It was a cold and windy day, where was the heat?

At this time, Xia Yuanji, who was forked into the big clock, showed no fear and looked upright.

Of course, he was covered by the big clock and others could not see his angry face.

"Your Majesty, even if you cook me today, I will still advise you to the end!"

"Since ancient times, how can a wise king hide his secrets?"

"The imperial court needs silver, and the world needs silver, but His Majesty hid these tens of millions of taels of silver in the inner treasury. Such an act is passed down to future generations. What is the name of Your Majesty?! What is the name of Yongle?!"

"I'll be honest, what your Majesty is doing now is no different from that of Xia Jie and Shang Zhou!"

Perhaps because he was kept in the dark, Xia Yuanji's words became more and more arrogant. From beheadings and ransacking homes to annihilating three clans, he was making great strides towards the Yijiu clan.

When people like Yang Shiqi and Jin Youzi heard Xia Yuanji's words about Xia Jie and Shang Zhou, their eyelids were trembling. They thought, why are you talking so much about everything? Are you really going to die?!

On the dragon chair, Old Zhu Di's teeth were chattering in anger.

After he ordered the conquest of Japan, the Yongle Navy, standing at the top of the world, directly drove the men and women into the sea in a devastating and domineering way.

Don’t make the slightest discount, absolutely conquer.

After that, the Ming army started mining. In addition to mining, they first transported back to the country the tens of millions of taels of silver that they had mined and hoarded in their childhood.

After the silver was transported back to China, Lao Zhu Di directly issued an order, bypassing the household department, and put all the silver into the inner treasury, and strictly ordered that no one should use the silver.

Old Zhu Di naturally had his own difficulties in cooking like this, but as the financial leader, Xia Yuanji quit.

As the first financial steward of Yongle, Xia Yuanji was on time. He came to see Lao Zhu Di every day before going to work. He said the same thing every time, asking Lao Zhu Di to take out the tens of millions of taels of silver from the inner treasury.
p>

Naturally, he was ruthlessly rejected by Lao Zhu Di every time.

It was okay once or twice, but after more times, Xia Yuanji began to have opinions. He even criticized Old Zhu Di in public in the court, saying that Old Zhu Di had changed. He was no longer the Yongle Emperor who was dedicated to governing the country, but had become selfish.

The mediocre master of profit.

These words fell into the ears of Old Zhu Di. Although Old Zhu Di gritted his teeth in anger, he still endured it, feeling aggrieved in his heart.

Old Zhu Di: I don’t dare to spend even a cent!

"Your Majesty, Xia Yuanji has been having a fever recently and is not very clear-headed. He accidentally said something wrong. Please forgive me!"

"Your Majesty, please do not listen to Xia Yuanji's words. People with fever will talk nonsense!"

"………………"

Xia Yuanji was a pretty good person in the court, and Yang Shiqi and Jin Youzi were all covering for Xia Yuanji.

"I'm not sick!"

"The emperor is unruly, and as a minister, he should be remonstrated with death!"

"You should join me in admonishing him to death, so that His Majesty will know how to return from his lost ways!"

The echoes from the big bell kept coming, and there was even the sound of Xia Yuanji striking the bell and tripod in anger.

"What your Majesty did today was done by the faint master, and will be laughed at by future generations!"

Yang Shiqi and Jin Youzi looked at each other in private, and both saw the secret words in their eyes: It's hopeless, it's completely hopeless, give up, this guy is crazy.

Snap!

Old Zhu Di slammed the rice onto the table.

Wow, the royal guards in the palace were so frightened that they knelt down.

"Cook it for me! Cook it!!"

‘Add food!’

The words just fell.

Dingyin~

The wind chime that had been hanging around Lao Zhu Di's waist for the past six months suddenly rang.

Not only the wind chimes on Old Zhu Di's waist, but also the wind chimes hanging on Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji standing aside, also rang at the same moment.

In an instant, the three of them were almost petrified on the spot.

It has been half a year. During this half year, they have been looking forward to the sound of the wind chimes.

The wind chimes are ringing and the immortal master is calling. For the three of them, grandfather and grandson, nothing is more important than this, and other things can be temporarily put aside.

"The prince and grandson stay, everyone else, get out."

With the sound of wind chimes, Old Zhu Di's anger was instantly extinguished. In line with the frugal style of not wasting food, he put the rice on the table back into the bowl bit by bit.

After everyone including Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui left, only the third grandson of old Zhu Di and a Hong bell were left in the entire palace.

"You two, take this clock with you."

‘Old boy, you are so courageous that you dare to say that I am a fool.’

‘Anyway, I can’t explain it to you clearly. I hope your life is good, and I will take you to explain it to the immortal master.’

………………………………

Hongwu time and space, the main hall of Zuixian Tower.

The hearty laughter was filled with excitement, almost shaking the building down.

On the podium, Lao Zhu gave Ji Boying several bear hugs when he came up, with an excited look on his face.

"Brother, we thought we would never see you again in this life."

"After all, you immortals can take a nap for hundreds of years."

Xiao Zhu Si was grinning from the side and rubbing his hands excitedly.

Ji Boying is totally indifferent.

After all, he actually only passed by for a second.

‘Damn it, I’ve experienced the feeling of a cultivator of immortality.’

In the novel, Mahayana cultivators can go into seclusion for several years, decades or even thousands of years. The so-called vicissitudes of life can happen in the blink of an eye for the cultivators in seclusion.

‘You must never speed up time so hastily in the future.’

Having made up his mind, Ji Boying decided to temporarily shelve this time-accelerating function.

It was also at this time that Lao Zhu Di appeared with Yongle Xiao Zhu and Da Pang.

In addition, there is an inexplicable big clock.

As soon as this clock appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Fourth, what are you doing?!"

When Lao Zhu saw this, he looked at Lao Zhu Di who had just appeared and frowned.

"My brother has just returned from traveling for half a year. Why don't you give me a bell?!"

Facing Lao Zhu's fierce shouting, Lao Zhu Di's heart pounded and he spoke quickly.

"Father, calm down."

"The person in this bell is Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs of our dynasty, and the number one financial person in our dynasty. Therefore, I want him to come and hear about the use of silver and the reasons for the financial collapse."

Then, he looked at Ji Boying.

"Please allow the immortal master!"

Ji Boying glanced at the Hong Zhong.

"Yeah, okay."

In terms of financial understanding, there is a 90% chance that Ming Dynasty can surpass Xia Yuanji.

"Get him out."

As he spoke, Yongle Xiaozhu stepped forward and wanted to turn the clock up, but he couldn't turn it up even with all his strength.

"Forget it, it's just the same if you listen to it in a clock."

Ji Boying waved his hand.

Hong Zhong, who was still making noise at first, became quiet now, and Xia Yuanji inside was probably frightened.

‘Why does Your Majesty call others Father?’

‘What is an immortal master?!’

Xia Shangshu was horrified and squatted inside the clock, not daring to move at all.

"Everyone, sit down."

Ji Boying glanced at this group of emperors and princes and disappeared for more than ten minutes. There were still some changes in this group of people.

For example, Old Zhu Di obviously looked a little older, while Emperor Xuande was much stronger, and Emperor Hongxi was becoming increasingly weak, as if he was about to collapse at any time.

At this moment, a figure appeared in the main hall, a new face.

Except for Ji Boying and Emperor Xuande, no one could recognize who this person was.

"Let me introduce, this is Zhu Qiyu, Emperor Jingtai."

"It was he who, after the Tumu Fortress and during the siege of the city, took over the task at the critical moment, used it modestly, and saved the Ming Dynasty."

When these words came out, Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di and others' eyes lit up, and they cast admiring glances at this descendant. This is the good son of our Lao Zhu family.

Zhu Qiyu looked confused.

After meeting Yu Qian, Wang Wen and other important ministers who had come to see him, he ordered a strict investigation of his accomplices, and sent the blackened Zhu Qizhen, who was holding the biography book, back to Nangong to continue his house arrest, and finally ate the immortal master

After being given the medicine, I was ready to go back to sleep.

As a result, the wind chime suddenly rang, so he subconsciously picked up the wind chime and shook it, and then he appeared in this place.

If he hadn't seen Ji Boying and his father, Emperor Xuande, he would have thought he had ascended to heaven.

"This is your great-grandfather, these are your three great-grandfathers, three grandfathers, and three fathers."

Ji Boying gave a quick introduction.

Zhu Qiyu was even more confused. He subconsciously looked at Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di and others, and his neck couldn't help but shrink.

These are all ancestors?!

I didn’t remember anything else, I just remembered that I was here to be a great-grandson, a great-grandson, a grandson, and a son.

"You sit in Xu Yi's seat."

Ji Boying pointed casually, and Emperor Xuande smiled and patted the position on his right. Zhu Qiyu came to this position and sat down with a floating step.

"Half a year ago, I left two notices."

Anyway, it’s half a year for this group of people, so Ji Boying’s is simply half a year.

‘Half a year?’

Zhu Qiyu looked confused again, secretly pinched his thigh, and suddenly gasped in pain.

‘It’s not a dream!’

"1. How to use silver and the reasons for the financial collapse of a dynasty."

"Second, look at history from the perspective of morality - a Ming war god who was tried hard to discredit by civil servants."

"The first topic is a theoretical topic, and the second topic is a practical observation topic. According to the process, we will finish the theoretical class first."

After finishing speaking, Ji Boying spoke slowly.

"Before this lesson explains how to work with silver."

"I'll show you something first. After reading it, tell me what you saw from it."

Ji Boying finished speaking.

On the light screen in front of him, a VCR appeared.

"Whether to play"

"Yes" "No"

The moment Ji Boying chose "Yes", everything in the main hall of Zuixian Tower changed. Everyone, including Lianxiang Xiyu, looked around in shock.

What they feel is wrong, not feelings.

They believed that they were on a sea, with strong winds and rough seas.

36D, immersive.

Looking up to the sky, there are dense clouds in the sky.

In front of them, what seemed to be within reach were more than forty warships of a style they had never seen before. None of the soldiers on them had black hair, and they were firing wildly at a group of obviously smaller ships.

On these ships, there were large numbers of people who abandoned the ship and jumped into the sea.

"Father, be careful!"

When a cannonball flew in, Lianxiang Xiyu tightly hugged Ji Boying's arms from left to right, closing her eyes in fright, and her face turned pale.

A Biao and Xiao Zhu Si stood in front of Lao Zhu at almost the same time, and the two of them bumped their heads directly.

"Huh?"

After a moment, the two of them were stunned.

They discovered that the cannonball actually penetrated their bodies and hit the ship behind them. Shocking flames instantly shot up.

"This is a fairyland fantasy that can give you an immersive experience."

"What you are seeing now is a war from four hundred years later."

The podium where Ji Boying was sitting was above the clouds. At this moment, he was like a Taoist priest coming to the world. He paused for a moment and then added.

"A war to plunder silver."
