Chapter 46 The Treasury of the Golden Age

The fourth task started. The training methods and introduction to the art of fox charm all existed in Zhu Xiongying's mind. He stepped into the Hall of Eternal Life and sat directly on the sofa chair.

Leaning his hands on his temples, Zhu Xiongying half-squinted his eyes, waiting for Xia Yuanji while carefully reading the introduction to this art of foxy charm.

'The art of fox charm, also known as the art of fox escape, can be traced back to the time of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi in ancient times, and was created by Sunu, the teacher of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi.'

"Both men and women can practice it. Men practice elegance, and women practice charming. Therefore, the art of fox charm is also called the art of fox elegance."

'The technique is divided into internal and external aspects, internally it cultivates the essence, energy and spirit, and externally it repairs the shape.'

'The method of cultivation is to collect the essence of the sun and the moon.'

'The specific method is to collect sun essence from the Mao hour to the Chen hour in a high and quiet place, such as woods and mountaintops, and to collect the moonlight from the Wu hour to the Hai hour.'

'With its internal effects, women can confuse people's hearts, men can enhance their majesty, and both men and women can maintain their appearance. On the day of Mahayana, this technique can open the eyes of the sky.'

Seeing this, Zhu Xiongying felt a little interesting.

Can this thing still look good?

Repair internally and repair externally.

You definitely don’t need to do this external training. You have eight-pack abs. You look thin when you are wearing clothes, but you are fleshy when you are undressing. You are eight feet tall and eight inches long. They are as hard as iron and have long-lasting strength.

In Zhu Xiongying's view, this fox charm or fox escape technique is more like the beauty-preserving technique.

Maintaining a handsome appearance all year round is also very necessary in Zhu Xiongying's opinion.

After all, no matter how long you live, if you live like a slovenly old man, it will lose some of its meaning.

As for this penetrating double eye...

Zhu Xiongying always feels that this thing is perspective?

Thinking about it this way, this spell is still worth practicing. It can not only enhance the charm, permanently fix the appearance, but also open the eyes for clairvoyance, although Zhu Xiongying does not have the ability to use clairvoyance.

But as the old saying goes, having too many skills won’t overwhelm you.

If you really can't survive any day, you can make a living by being a humanoid X-ray machine.

'Task 4 supplement: Reach the entry level, time limit is 48 hours.'

At this time, the sound of footsteps came.

I saw a little man stepping into the hall. He looked smooth, honest and honest.

"Your Majesty, Xia Yuanji, pays homage to His Highness."

Xia Yuanji knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.

This was the first time he met his grandson, and it was also the first time Zhu Xiongying met Xia Yuanji.

'Is this Zhu Laosi's true love?'

Zhu Xiongying looked at Xia Yuanji, whose highness was kneeling. Judging from his appearance, there was nothing surprising about him, but his calmness was far beyond ordinary people.

After all, Xia Yuanji was only a sixth-grade official before and was not even qualified to go to court.

When these officials see their great grandson, they will inevitably have ups and downs in their moods.

But Zhu Xiongying used his mind-reading skills to observe Xia Yuanji's state of mind, and found that after Xia Yuanji entered the palace, his heart was still and he was not thinking about anything at all. It was completely unlike some courtiers who only entered the palace thinking about how to guess the emperor's intention and how to deal with it.

.

"Give me wine."

Zhu Xiongying spoke calmly.

Eunuch Xiaobao, who had been prepared early, led the first palace people forward.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the wine."

Xia Yuanji's expression remained unchanged, he took the wine mixed with Zhenyan Powder and drank it in one gulp.

"Xia Yuanji."

"I'm here to ask you. A few days ago, I ordered the household department to search for someone. How did you determine that the person I was looking for was the daughter of the late King Wu Ning."

Zhu Xiongying really thought about this question seriously, but he never thought of the answer.

"Get up and answer."

Xia Yuanji bowed again and then stood up.

"Your Highness, I guessed it."

Master Zhu was stunned for the first time in his history.

This works too?!

Xia Yuanji, who drank the truth powder, could not lie, which means that this is the truth.

Zhu Xiongying suddenly felt that he had saved a small life.

If Xia Yuanji guessed wrong and Xu Miaojin was not the target of that mission, then he would have failed the mission and might be GG now.

With a dry cough, Zhu Xiongying stood up and looked down at Xia Yuanji in the palace.

"Do you know why I promoted you to be a minister?"

If there is no turmoil in the court, even if a sixth-rank official can be promoted smoothly every time, it will take at least more than ten years for him to be promoted from a sixth-rank official to the right minister of household affairs.

"His Highness is very ambitious and has the ambition to swallow up mountains and seas. However, everything comes first and the word 'wealth' cannot be avoided."

"I will use all my life's knowledge to fill the treasury for His Highness, so that His Highness will have no worries in his prosperous life."

After hearing these words, Zhu Xiongying narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xia Yuanji.

He suddenly understood why Zhu Di said the words "Xia Yuanji loves me".

This guy is a sensible person, a smart person, a talented person, and a great talent that is rare in the world.

Regarding the Ming Dynasty, due to the special existence of the cabinet system and the rule of Renxuan, later generations will focus more on the Sanyang Cabinet, which is known as the first cabinet of the Ming Dynasty.

But everyone knows that before the rule of Renxuan, there was a prosperous Yongle era that shocked the ancient and modern times.

But because Jingnan was so famous, and Zhu Laosi's personal glory was too dazzling, there were also five conquests in Mobei, moving the capital to Beiping, the Yongle Grand Ceremony, Zheng He's voyages to the West, and other deeds that would shine through the ages.

Therefore, many people have overlooked one point, which is the treasury of the Yongle Dynasty.

The Five Expeditions to Mobei, the Yongle Grand Ceremony, Zheng He’s voyages to the West...

Any one of these items would cost an astronomical amount to complete. To create a prosperous age of Yongle, the first thing to prosper is the national treasury.

Without a well-stocked treasury, everything is nonsense.

Not to mention Eunuch Sanbao's voyage to the West, he would probably have trouble even visiting the bathhouse in his hometown.

The steward of the Ming Dynasty who single-handedly built the treasury of the Yongle Dynasty was Xia Yuanji.

However, this Xia Yuanji is still an upright official rarely seen in the ages. As the saying goes, "To make the world fatter, to thin one's own body".

And now Zhu Xiongying is also in urgent need of money.

Whether it is the road to reduce the feudal vassal that is about to begin next, or the future conquest of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, or the march to Ping'an South, and the destruction of the Japanese country that is full of gossip.

Furthermore, since Zhu Xiongying was in this world, he could not be limited to the traditional emperor's vision. Once the situation allowed, the Ming Dynasty's cavalry would inevitably gallop all the way to the west.

All of this requires burning a lot of money.

Without a strong national treasury support, it would be impossible to complete.

"Your Highness, I have thirty-one suggestions regarding taxation, corvee, etc. I hope Your Highness will read them."

Xia Yuanji, who had been prepared for a long time, took out a booklet from his arms and was about to hand it to eunuch Xiaobao.

"That's right."

Zhu Xiongying's voice has already sounded.

At this moment, Xia Yuanji, who had never had any mood swings before, became excited.

He knew that His Highness Taisun valued him, but he had never expected that he would be so valued and trusted!

Xia Yuanji raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Xiongying with burning eyes.

Zhu Xiongying's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He thought of Zhu Di's words, "Xia Yuanji loves me."

This word love...

It shouldn’t be superficial, right?

Could it be that Xia Yuanji, who looks honest and honest, has some curves?
