Making a lot of money

"As for the fiefdom, although it belongs to the nobles in name, it is actually state-owned and can be taken back by Your Majesty."

"For example, the back cover of some titles can only be enjoyed by the owner of the title. If he dies, the fiefdom will be taken back by the country."

King Jin explained to her with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao suddenly realized, and then said: "How do you say that the tens of thousands of acres of land here will be my own from now on? Can I give all this land to others before it is gone?"

"Yes, this is yours."

Seeing her innocent and cute look, King Jin couldn't help but feel funny again.

"That's good, thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongwen was also amused by her cute and cute look, which made him laugh out loud.

Now that the food issue has been solved, the stone that was weighing on his heart has been loosened, and this time he wants to teach the family a lesson by borrowing wheat.

"Okay, I'll go back first. Someone will come here later to deal with the wheat matter."

"Wang De, please stay and accompany Wanfu to measure the land."

Soon Emperor Hongwen left with Prince Jin.

Wang De said with a smile: "County Master, let's go, I will accompany you to have a look."

"Okay, thank you, Eunuch Wang."

Lu Yaoyao is very happy now. He has land and it is his own.

You can modify it however you want in the future.

He worked hard until evening before Lu Yaoyao came back.

"Miss, we really made a lot of money this time."

Qiu Yu was also very excited. Not only was the wheat sold at double the price, but he also got such a large piece of land for free.

Although it was all wasteland and barren mountains, she knew some of her lady's plans. With such a large piece of land, she could get more things.

"I've made a lot of money, but it's not enough."

Lu Yaoyao sat down with a smile.

What happened this time was not just fun.

"Royal brother, you did a good job this time, I am very satisfied."

In the palace, Emperor Hongwen was also very happy, and looked at Prince Jin with a lot of satisfaction.

If King Jin hadn't come to tell him this time, he might not know when he would know about the wheat flour.

Maybe, everyone in the aristocratic family already knows about it, and he can realize it. If that happens, he will have to tie his hands again.

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Emperor. Brother Emperor, you see that I have done a good job this time. I really don't want to take on the position of commander of the Left Guards. Do you think I can give it to you?"

"Um?"

Emperor Hongwen was a little stunned.

Then he glared and said, "Why don't you want to do it?"

"Yes, being an official is not as comfortable as my previous life. I don't want to be an official."

"No, you have to take this position, I trust you."

The more the King of Jin behaved like this, the more Emperor Hongwen trusted him. After seeing his achievements, he didn't ask for anything else, but he didn't want to be an official.

It seems that I really thought too much in the past, and it really shouldn't be the case that a person with no ambition like this should be so defensive.

"this"

King Jin looked uncomfortable.

But he was laughing in his heart, did he really not want to be the one?

Of course not, after so many years, he finally got this opportunity, how could he give up.

But he knew very well in his heart that Emperor Hongwen was on guard against him. This was just to reduce his guard against him, not to master more in the future. At least in his current position, he would not arouse too much suspicion from the other party.

no?

Moreover, this seat originally belonged to the Zhen Guogong faction. Now that he has come up, can the Zhen Guogong faction let him go?

Now he doesn't want to expose too much, so he takes the initiative to resign, but he is retreating in order to advance. Even if Zhen Guogong's faction makes some moves against him in the future, Emperor Hongwen's view will also change because of this retreat.

Big changes.

"Okay, just do it with peace of mind. There are not many people available to me now, and this position is very important. You and I are brothers, and I trust you."

He was very satisfied with King Jin's performance today. The words he said "trust you" at this time were not just words, but he really had a lot of trust in King Jin in his heart.

"Okay, but don't send me anything."

"Let my brother take some time to relax."

Seeing him like this, Emperor Hongwen smiled and shook his head.

"Okay, you've been running around for most of the day. Go back and rest."

King Jin stood up and bowed before leaving.

As soon as he left, Emperor Hongwen's face darkened, and then he looked at a chamberlain beside him.

"Go and ask Wen Songtao to come see me."

This time the aristocratic family made him lose face. Now that he has a trump card to fight back, he has to think carefully about how to deal with the aristocratic family.

The little chamberlain came back shortly after leaving the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wen is outside seeking an audience."

"Huh? Why did you come so quickly?"

Emperor Hongwen was a little surprised.

"Back to Your Majesty, I met Wen Xiang shortly after I left."

It turned out that Wen Songtao happened to be here.

"Quick pass."

Soon Wen Songtao came in from outside. Emperor Hongwen was very happy to see this close minister.

"Wen Aiqing, come and sit down quickly. I have good news for you."

However, Wen Songtao's face looked a little solemn at this time.

"Your Majesty, I just received a message from below. There is a riot in Jinyang."

As he spoke, he raised his hands above his head.

When Emperor Hongwen heard that there was a riot, he was also shocked. He didn't wait for his chamberlain to pick up the memorial, but he rushed up quickly, grabbed the memorial, and read it.

The more I looked at him, the uglier his face became.

"But it's true?"

"There should be no falsehoods. I have sent someone to verify it. I will get confirmation tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

After hearing this, Emperor Hongwen closed the memorial, pondered for a moment and said, "Who else has read this memorial?"

"This memorial has just arrived in the capital and has been handed over to me. Only Your Majesty and me have seen it, but I don't know if the other side has received the news."

Emperor Hongwen nodded silently.

"Let's put this matter aside for now and wait until it is confirmed tomorrow."

"yes."

Wen Songtao responded quickly.

After Emperor Hongwen put away the memorial, he continued to look at Wen Songtao and said, "Wen Aiqing, come and sit down. I have good news for you."

Then, he talked about wheat, wheat flour, steamed buns and steamed buns.

After Wen Songtao heard this, he was also very happy.

"Okay, okay, Lord Wanfu County is really your majesty's lucky star. Suddenly a wheat crop appears, and the aristocratic family will be in bad luck."

"I thought I could take advantage of this opportunity to deal with it severely."

Listening to his meaningful words, Emperor Hongwen thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, they won't give me face in the front, but I want to see how they come to ask for me."

"By the way, have you explained the purchase of wheat?"

"I've already explained it. This thing is relatively easy to buy. I should be able to buy a lot of it in a day or two."

Wheat is still relatively cheap in Dongzhou at present. Many people don't know how to buy it, and grain merchants don't pay much attention to it. Once they sell it, they will definitely gather a lot of them very quickly.

Just like Lu Yaoyao, he bought more than 100,000 stones in a short time.
