Looking at the glazed beads in his hand, he estimated that there were twenty or thirty of them. The hundreds of brothers who came to guard before divided them equally, and each person could still share about one-third of the glazed beads.

The value of one-third of a glazed bead is at least several hundred taels of silver.

For them, just being ordered to draw their swords to guard such a distance, they have such a huge income, there is simply no more cost-effective deal than this!

"Humble job, on behalf of all brothers, I would like to thank Bachelor Yan!!!"

The prince's guard immediately held the top-quality ambergris in his arms, and saluted Yan Changqing in the courtyard with the other hand, thanking him loudly.

Afterwards, the guards present hid in all directions again, continuing to protect Yan Changqing in secret.

It's just that compared with before, it is obviously more serious, and the inspection and defense are stricter.

Chapter 30: Yan Changqing who is becoming more and more mysterious and unclear [asking for flowers, asking for everything]

That night, at Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial table, there was an explanatory memorial to the conflict between Yan Changqing and Hu Wen'an, the son of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong during the day.

At the same time, Yan Changqing used it as money at the small trade fair. Jiaolong, Phoenix, Qilin, Shoulu, Tianma, Crane glass bottles, and nine nine-color glass beads worth a total of 30 taels were also placed in Zhu Yuanzhang on the imperial case.

These treasures and colored glazes were all brought back by the commander of Jinyiwei, Mao Xiang, after he knew what had happened, and then sent Jinyiwei to the big merchant behind the small exchange in the afternoon to get them back.

Well, literally, it doesn’t cost any money, just get it back.

After all, 30 taels, even Jin Yiwei couldn't afford it on the bright side.

If Jin Yiwei could easily get 30 taels, then Zhu Yuanzhang should have suspected that Jin Yiwei was secretly using his power for personal gain and accepting bribes behind his back.

However, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, power was much more useful than money!

He just sent a hundred households of Jinyiwei to say on behalf of him, the commander of Jinyiwei, that these glazed treasures are related to the princes.

The big merchants behind the small trade fair respectfully handed over all the glass bottles and beads that Yan Changqing used as silver before.

Then, Mao Xiang, the commander of Jinyiwei, and the memorial of today's conflict explanation were submitted to Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial case.

"Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, Crane, Shoulu, Tianma, these glazed bottles, and these nine nine-colored glazed beads, even the royal family doesn't have them!"

Zhu Yuanzhang weighed these glazed treasures on the imperial case, his tone seemed to be admiration, but also seemed to be mocking.

"Where did these glazed treasures in his hand come from, have you checked it out?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the glass bottle in his hand, and his eyes fell on Mao Xiang, the commander of Jinyiwei in front of him.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I checked the records on the trade of colored glaze treasures in the past three years, but I couldn't find any records corresponding to these colored glaze treasures."

"At the same time, we also found out that Yan Changqing had already started pawning gold and silver with colored glaze as early as eight months ago, or used it directly as gold and silver."

"As for the glazed treasures that he pawned and used as gold and silver, I also did not find any historical records related to them."

"In addition, his parents died young, and they didn't leave any wealth to him."

"At the same time, he has always lived near Yingtian Mansion, and has never had any contact with other courtiers or merchants."

"So, I suspect...he probably mastered the method of refining colored glaze treasures eight or nine months ago!"

Mao Xiang hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his guess.

After all, if he hadn't mastered the method of how to refine colored glaze treasures, where would there be so many colored glaze treasures? ! !

Even so many, even those guards who were only ordered to protect him this afternoon were allotted a bunch of glazed beads!

Moodiness is not such a moose!

If he didn't master the method of refining colored glaze, with his flowering method, no matter how many colored glaze treasures he had, he would not be able to withstand such reckless expenses.

So the only unthinkable but reasonable answer is that Yan Changqing has mastered the method of refining colored glaze treasures!

"How to refine glazed treasures?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang murmured in a low voice, thinking of Yan Changqing's calm expression again in his mind.

Know the "Dragon Slaying Skill"!

Another glance at the serious disadvantages brought about by the royal family's salary after two or three hundred years!

Now it is very possible to know how to refine colored glaze treasures!

At this moment, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Yan Changqing, who seemed clear at first, was gradually covered by layers of secrets, and his whole person became more and more hazy and mysterious.

"The top-quality ambergris he bought for 30 taels, and he just gave it to the second child and the others directly, without asking anything, just as a thank you gift?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the records on the memorial, looked at Mao Xiang for further confirmation and asked.

"Yes, and also sent 34 single-color glazed beads to the guards who were in charge of protecting him at that time, and asked the guards to convey that it was a thank you gift from him to those guards."

Mao Xiang nodded his head and answered with great confirmation.

"Strange, strange."

"If you don't really need and like that top-quality ambergris, why spend 30 taels to buy it?!"

"Even at the expense of conflicting with the prime minister's son?!"

"After buying it, I changed hands and gave it to someone else."

"What is the purpose?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly discovered that once Yan Changqing was involved, there were many things he couldn't figure out.

If someone else did this, he would think that someone else was taking the opportunity to curry favor with the prince.

But if Yan Changqing did this, then there may be other reasons, but these reasons definitely do not include pleasing the prince.

Because Yan Zhangqing was trying to curry favor with Prince Zhu Biao and other princes face to face when he was secretly listening in.

Even if he is the emperor, Yan Changqing doesn't have much respect in words.

Mao Xiang on the side hung his head and said nothing. He really didn't know the answer to this question, and he couldn't give a guess.

After thinking about it for a while, and finding that he couldn't think of any answer that he could believe, Zhu Yuanzhang could only temporarily put this question aside.

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on the end of the memorial submitted by Mao Xiang, which read:

[Afterwards, Catcher Chen took the initiative to find Jin Yiwei to report and report. He heard Hu Wen'an, the son of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, and said angrily, "Damn it! If Dad can go further, why should I suffer such humiliation." 】

Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the left who is already the head of a hundred officials, if he goes one step further, what is it? ! !

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, looked at Mao Xiang and said coldly:

"Take care of that head catcher, don't let him die, I'll still be useful in the future!"

"Also, watch Hu Weiyong to death for me, and report to me immediately if you make any move!"

For Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang is about to endure to the limit.

But now is not the time, he still needs to continue to be patient.

Just the words that Hu Wen'an said to himself now can only implicate Hu Weiyong's nine clans.

But what he wants to kill is not only Hu Weiyong, and a group of people related to Hu Weiyong, but also the position of prime minister that Hu Weiyong himself holds! ! !

There must be a more convincing mortal crime, more certain evidence.

Only then can Hu Weiyong and related people be killed with the least impact and consequences, and at the same time, the prime minister, a position that threatens the imperial power, will be abolished!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Mao Xiang responded immediately, with an uncontrollable excitement on his face.

Prime Minister!

If Prime Minister Zuo, who is the head of a hundred officials, can be pulled down, who would dare to underestimate Jin Yiwei in the future!

"Go down."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to let Mao Xiang back down.

Chapter 31: Zhu Biao: Father, Daming is about to die! 【Ask for flowers, ask for everything】

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang once again looked at the memorials about Prince Zhu Biao, Qin Wang Zhu Yu, Jin Wang Zhu Yan and others, who each convened the staff and think tanks in the government to study the records and reports of the royal clan's salaries.

Of course, the content of the conversation between Zhu Di and Dao Yan is not among them, after all, the two are still very cautious in this respect.

As long as the two of them are alone, no one is around.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had arranged for the prince and other princes to obey his aides and guards, it was obvious that Dao Yan was not his staff or guards.

"Why don't you come and 'tell' us about the disadvantages of the future royal family's salary?!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned as he looked at the memorial in his hand.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Qin Wang Zhu Yu, Jin Wang Zhu Bian and others have called their own Zhan Shi Mansion, and the staff and think tanks of the various prince mansions have been discussing for several days.

Even Prince Zhu Biao, Qin Wang Zhu Yu, and Jin Wang Zhu Bian had several private talks with the royal family and relatives about their salaries among the princes and princes.

But until now, they have not found or negotiated a solution that they, the princes and princes, think are acceptable.

Not to mention taking the initiative to send to his door to "tell" him that the future royal clan's salary system is flawed.

And if the prince Zhu Biao and the other princes didn't come to him, how could he conveniently hint that the prince Zhu Biao and the other princes went to Yan Changqing for a solution!

"It seems that we have to push them."

In the imperial study room, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial in his hand and muttered to himself.

......

A few days later, under the impetus of Zhu Yuanzhang, the prince Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Qin, Zhu Yu, the king of Jin, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, Zhu Wei, the king of Zhou, Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, and Zhu Yu, the king of Qi, went to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorabilia about the salary of the clan members of the Ming royal family jointly handed up by the crown prince Zhu Biao and other princes, and pretended not to know:

"The reason you came to see us together is to tell us that the salary system for the royal family members we set is inappropriate?!"

Underneath, Zhu Biao and his brothers looked at each other, took a step forward, and said with a serious expression:

"Yes, Father!"

"The salary system of the royal family is the great favor of the father to all the royal family."

"Such a salary system for the royal family, although Daming can easily afford it now."

"But after 200 or [-] years, the number of royal family members has increased significantly, reaching tens of millions, or even hundreds of people."

"At that time, even if the whole year's income of Ming Dynasty was spent, it would be difficult to support so many royal family members."

"And when the Ming Dynasty's annual revenue is used to support the royal family, how much revenue can be used for civil and military officials, soldiers, and even the people of the world?!"

"Once that time comes, I'm afraid that the Daming that my father just established will not be far from subjugation!!!"

On both sides of the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Xi, Zhu Yu, Zhu Di, Zhu Yu, Zhu Zhen, and Zhu Yu looked at each other, and they all saw the admiration for their elder brother Zhu Biao from the eyes of other brothers.

Such words as the Ming Dynasty's subjugation are only dared to say by their elder brother Zhu Biao.

If any of them dared to say such a thing, they would probably be reprimanded.

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be shocked and sat on the dragon chair, frowning in thought.

Zhu Biao, Zhu Xun, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, Zhu Xun, Zhu Zhen, and Zhu Xun below saw this scene and knew that their father was thinking about what Zhu Biao said just now.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak for a long time, just pretending to be thinking like this to scare Zhu Biao and the others.

Not to mention the issue of the royal family's salary, he even knew about their joint performance today and the solution they finally discussed.

After half an hour, Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Prince Zhu Biao and others with a frown and said:

"Since you have seen the future problems of the royal family's family salary system, and now you have taken the initiative to come to us together, don't tell us that you haven't thought of a solution?!"

Sensing Zhu Yuanzhang's somewhat unfriendly tone, Zhu Xi, Zhu Yu, Zhu Di, Zhu Yu, Zhu Zhen, and Zhu Yu all swallowed their saliva unconsciously.

As Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, they have been shrouded in Zhu Yuanzhang's shadow since they were young, and there is no one who is not afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang.
