Four hundred and thirtieth chapters long-sleeved dance
Naturally, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance also felt the disgusting gaze behind him, and a look of determination appeared on his face. When the money was put into the treasury, he would not even think about taking away all the money even if he killed him.
The household department must keep at least 50,000 taels, no! I want to keep 100,000 taels, otherwise you will kill me on the spot, or ask me to move and transfer to another department, otherwise there is no chance!
Hu Weiyong responded and sighed: "Your Highness, this money came at just the right time. It solves an urgent need."
Zhu Biao said in a deep voice: "It's just an emergency. The autumn harvest is just around the corner. The Ministry of Education of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China needs to discuss the current expenses and pay equal attention to increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. We can't always count on pie in the sky."
"I will bear in mind His Highness's teachings."
Zhu Biao nodded and got into the prince's chariot surrounded by everyone. Hu Weiyong, being the prime minister, naturally got into the chariot, as well as Yingguo Gong Fu Youde, who had been standing silently aside just now, and the others got into their own chariots.
Zhu Biao smiled and said a few words to Fu Youde. Even if he was Zhu Biao, such a general would not be scornful. Fu Youde was not very good at saying polite words, but his respect for the prince was clearly visible.
And with Hu Weiyong, the prime minister who was good at dancing, standing by to smooth things over, the atmosphere was quite good. After asking a few more questions about Fu Zhong, Zhu Biao no longer made things difficult for him.
Turning to Hu Weiyong, he said: "There is still a big gap in the number of lower-level officials in Shaanxi and Gansu. Prime Minister Hu needs to transfer a group of suitable officials to provide peace of mind for the people and provide disaster relief."
Hu Weiyong stroked his black beard and responded: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely make arrangements. There is simply a group of new scholars who can fill the vacancies."
Zhu Biao's eyes flickered and he said with a smile: "I have forgotten this incident, but I have been away from the capital for too long. Is the chief examiner of Jinshi Jinshi Hu Xiang?"
Hu Weiyong put down his hand and replied respectfully: "You are just a humble minister. Thanks to the great kindness of the Holy One, I have the great honor to recruit scholars for the country. It is really a honor to honor the ancestors."
Zhu Biao laughed and said: "Hu Xiang is too humble..."
As Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong chatted back and forth, the car passed the city gate and drove straight to the palace. Even though pedestrians on the main road were driven to both sides, Zhu Biao could still feel the prosperity and liveliness of the capital, and it was still full of life.
exuberant.
This is something that is not available in Shaanxi and Gansu Fucheng. When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Hu Weiyong, Fu Youde and others got off the bus, and the others also said goodbye to Zhu Biao. They still had official business to deal with.
Zhu Biao smiled and invited everyone to have a drink at Jixian Tower tomorrow night, and everyone naturally responded with smiles. It was rare for His Highness to have a private banquet, and no one wanted to miss it. Moreover, there were so many people invited, so there was no need to worry about any taboos.
Zhu Biao turned around and entered the palace without taking the carriage. He really wanted to take a walk. He didn't take two steps when he saw Liu Jin running up quickly and kneeling down. He called "Master" with red eyes.
Zhu Biao was also happy to see Liu Jin. He walked up to his head, raised his leg, pushed his shoulder with his knee and said, "Get up, it's only been a few months."
After saying that, he continued to walk inside. Liu Jin wiped his tears with his sleeves and followed Zhu Biao with a happy expression on his face. Only then did he feel that his life was meaningful.
"Everyone in the palace may be at peace."
"Taiping, the holy dragon is in good health. The queen has a slight cough in the autumn, but she is fine after taking the medicine from the imperial doctor. The princess has clear pulses three times a day, and everything is fine."
Zhu Biao nodded slightly, and Liu Jin followed behind and continued to talk about other matters. It was naturally impossible that nothing happened in the palace after he had been away from Beijing for several months.
But it doesn't matter much. After all, as long as their family is well, Zhu Biao is confident that everything else can be solved. Zhu Biao asked: "The fact that the Crown Princess is pregnant with twins has not been revealed?"
Liu Jin nodded and said: "The Queen immediately issued a ban. Only Princess Kaiping outside the palace should know about this."
It should be, that is to say, everyone is basically aware of it. Unless the news in the palace is immediately ruthless, it will be extremely difficult to hide it, but it is not a big deal in the end.
Zhu Biao wanted to visit Chang Luohua, but that was against the rules. Even in ordinary households, a man would have to pay homage to his parents before returning home. There was no such thing as going to see his wife and children first. Of course, meeting him on the road would not count.
.
Zhu Biao asked Liu Jin who was standing aside: "Does the Crown Princess still walk and exercise every day? She is not coquettish because of the words of those wives, right?
Liu Jin replied: "The Crown Princess has always remembered what I said. She walks in the yard every day, and the servants are also careful to serve her."
Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction. It's not that the mothers-in-law didn't know that women are in good health and have children easily. They were worried that if they said so, if the princess slipped when she walked, the fault would be all theirs, so it was better to stay safe.
Anyway, if she can't give birth by then, it's just because the princess's life is not good. Without that blessing, no family would be short of such a woman.
Liu Jin suddenly remembered something and said: "I have completed what I ordered in the letter. I specially sent someone from Weizhou Mansion to invite me to the palace."
Zhu Biao felt much relieved after hearing this. Ever since he found out that Chang Luohua was pregnant with twins, Zhu Biao had been worried that she would have difficulty giving birth. Leaving aside the children, he would also feel uncomfortable if his legitimate wife died like this.
It suddenly occurred to me that when I visited the coast last time, I heard about a kind of midwife in the south. Her hands are as small as a baby. They are specially designed for pregnant women with difficult labor. They can reach in and correct the fetal position...
So he immediately wrote a letter asking Liu Jin to send someone to look for her. Before he left, he left the East Palace token for Liu Jin. If necessary, he could use a lot of his power. It would not be difficult to send someone south to find the mother-in-law.
Liu Jin also showed the size of the midwife's hand to Zhu Biao. It was indeed different from ordinary people. I don't know if it was born this way or if it was cultivated deliberately. Zhu Biao didn't know it and didn't care. It was just a precaution. Always be prepared.
Better than not being prepared.
As he spoke, he arrived at the Jinshen Palace. The eunuchs and maids at the door knelt down and said hello: "My servants are waiting to welcome His Royal Highness back to the palace."
Zhu Biao smiled and waved, and then stepped into the hall. Lao Zhu had already put down his pen and sat on the chair, waiting for his son to come in with a smile.
The father and son looked at each other and found that the other had lost a lot of weight. Zhu Biao happily knelt down and kowtowed and shouted: "My son is back."
"Hahaha" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked forward to pull up his son. He looked at his son who was about to surpass him in height and said with a smile: "I asked you to come back a long time ago. Why did it take so long?"
"The local dignitaries in Shaanxi and Gansu have all been wiped out. Guo Chong, Zhang Fan and others are not qualified enough, and the ministers will not stay for long. I am afraid that trouble will happen again, and the people will not deserve it."
Zhu Yuanzhang took his son to the side and sat down: "You are right to think so. Only when the people's livelihood is stable can the country be peaceful. Didn't you also leave them two hundred thousand taels? It will be fine when the government gives grain to the people in the spring of next year so that the people can resume farming.
.”
Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Father is really well-informed. Do you know how much money my son has brought back?"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard this and said: "Isn't it just the 200,000 taels that belong to the household department? Is it possible that there are still more?"
