After Uncle Lu left, Zhu Di sat down with a dark face.
"In the future, don't let such weird people in."
Lu Lin:? ? ?
Weird person, isn't that the patriarch of your Lu family?
I let them in, isn't it for you?
Otherwise, who would entertain those two retarded people.
"What's the matter with you?" Lu Lin saw that he was unhappy, so he didn't bother with him.
Zhu Di sullenly asked, "Are you mining the salt mountain with Xu Guogong?"
Got it!
Again because of money.
Uncle Lu is right, businessmen are by nature not popular.
"I know you want to do this business, but you really can't do such a big business."
Lu Lin persuaded him earnestly.
"The business of the salt mine cannot be settled by speculation alone."
"The human, material and financial resources required are enormous."
"Especially for official matters, you can't handle them with just a few small officials you know. You still have to rely on Xu Guogong."
I can't figure it out?
Looking at Daming, there are still official matters that I can't handle?
He really despises me.
"Are you questioning my ability?"
"It's not me bragging. There are no officials in the Ming Dynasty that I can't deal with."
Zhu Di took a sip of tea, and Bel said proudly.
Lu Lin rolled his eyes when he heard that, if I didn't know that you always like to brag, I would really believe your evil.
"All right, all right, stop bragging."
Lu Lin got a headache when he heard him bragging.
When Zhu Di heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Am I bragging?
Okay, little brat, one day, I will ask you to see if I am bragging.
Yang Shiqi and Yao Guangxiao looked at each other, and couldn't help but spout.
Our Ninth Five-Year Emperor, the emperor who can scare his courtiers to death when he takes a breath, is actually despised by a county magistrate.
His majesty, who would go on a personal conquest at every turn, mount a horse with a gun, and beat the fierce Tatars to the ground, was told no by a frail scholar.
It sounds exciting.
Zhu Di noticed that the two were laughing at him, and immediately glared at them.
The two immediately straightened their spines, and were too frightened to breathe out.
Lu Lin can despise and ridicule His Majesty, but they can't, they are courtiers, and they are sons.
In order to divert attention, Yang Shiqi hurriedly talked to Lu Lin.
"Although the private salt business is very profitable, as a county magistrate, you are also a member of the imperial court. Now such a large-scale mining of salt mountains will cut off the imperial court's livelihood."
Lu Lin took a look at him, and found that the petty officials his father knew were all worried about state affairs.
"Don't worry, His Majesty has his own solution to this matter."
Yang Shiqi and Yao Guangxiao looked at each other, then silently turned their eyes to Zhu Di.
Your Majesty has a solution?
Zhu Di was also dumbfounded.
I have a solution again?
When did you have it?
Why don't I know it myself?
"You are being lied to. The salt mountain was bestowed by His Majesty. What can His Majesty do? You can't take back the salt mountain that was rewarded, can you?"
Moreover, the mountain of salt that the imperial court rewarded was far more than this. If all of them were to be taken back, wouldn't it be dishonest to the world?
"That's right."
Yang Shiqi and Yao Guangxiao quickly agreed.
Two sycophants.
Lu Lin looked at them with contempt.
"It's no wonder that you are an official the size of a sesame mung bean at an early age, and your IQ is not enough. Look at Yang Shiqi, who is about your age and is the chief assistant of the cabinet."
"That's the gap."
Yang Shiqi: ...
I'm sorry, the chief assistant of the cabinet you mentioned is just a mere subordinate.
"Then tell me, what countermeasures will His Majesty have?"
Zhu Di asked cheekily.
I really don't know, so wronged.
Otherwise, if I leave, the emperor will ask you to do it?
"Now His Majesty is shrewd and capable, and good at fighting with power, so you don't have to worry about it."
