Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others were overwhelmed with emotion as they listened to Mr. Hu's clear and straightforward description.

They wanted to say something, but at this moment they couldn't utter a word.

Because Mr. Hu said it so clearly just now.

All of them, even Lao Zhu's group of kids who had little contact with civil affairs, had actually come into contact with civil affairs in their hometown of Fengyang.

So, they all know it very well.

If the policy was really arranged as Mr. Hu said, then the people would really work hard to farm.

And...it seems that by doing this, the vassal state will really prosper.

Look, Zhu Di and his brothers are now scratching their ears and laughing.

Obviously, he was happy because he was thinking about his good days in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also laughing, but as he was laughing he felt something was wrong. He suddenly reacted and turned his head to look at Master Hu.

"Weiyong, this is not right, right?"

"If you do this, won't all the money of the Ming Dynasty be taken away by the vassal states in the end?"

"What happened to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Besides, if we let these brats go, it would be a compensation for their inability to succeed the throne. But if you do this, wouldn't that make Biaoer suffer instead?"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, before Master Hu could finish his performance, the Zhu brothers nearby became anxious.

"Father, how can you say that you are taking advantage of Big Brother? Isn't this a fair trade!?"

"Yes, yes, the fourth brother is right, Father, we have paid out grain in good faith, and the price has been reduced. How can we be said to be taking advantage?"

"Father, is it not enough for me to wait for this vassal state to pay back the money and interest? I have to give all the last bit of our family property to my eldest brother? This is a bit unreasonable!"

"Father..."

What a scene of 'loving father and filial son'.

Then, as expected, something unexpected happened.

Zhu Yuanzhang exploded!

"You guys, do you want to rebel?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, who had not moved even when he was excited before, suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, the three Zhu brothers knelt down as if by reflex.

But because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more annoyed.

Because even after these little bastards knelt down, they never said a word that they were wrong!

To put it bluntly, the three brothers thought that they were indeed wrong in angering Zhu Yuanzhang, so according to the requirements of filial piety, they knelt down.

But this doesn't mean that they think what they said just now was wrong.

In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang still had to solve this problem.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament had softened a little due to his age, even if a piece of stone softens by half, it can never become as soft as mud.

Not to mention, Zhu Yuanzhang's character is not that of a stubborn stone, but rather that of tempered steel.

He has been stubborn all his life, how could he be controlled by a few brats?

Seeing that the other party was about to die and didn't even have the attitude of admitting his mistake, he immediately got furious.

Fortunately, Master Hu knew him well enough and had seen enough of the show, so he quickly hugged Zhu Yuanzhang before he could say anything.

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, there are some things you must not say!"

"At least don't say it so easily!"

"Once you say it, you can't take it back!"

"We are already old, let's not do something that will make us regret for the rest of our lives!"

"If you can't take away your anger, you can just beat them up!"

When Master Hu said this, the three Zhu brothers were filled with resentment at first, but in an instant they were covered in cold sweats.

"Father, I was wrong. I am willing to be punished!"

"Father, I am sorry to have caused you so much worry!"

"Father..."

Got it!

It seems that people of this age have more flexible brains.

As soon as the three brothers heard Master Hu's words, they immediately realized how serious Zhu Yuanzhang's unspoken words were.

If this were really said out loud, it would be really funny.

Not only have all the things they had planned before disappeared, but they are also afraid that even greater disasters will befall them in the future.

Doesn't this mean that I'm so poor that I don't even have pants to wear?

If you don't admit your mistake now, when will you?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the three little brats in front of him who were about to surrender in panic, and let out a long sigh.

"Huh, get up!"

Seeing that the three little brats had clearly heard him talking, yet didn't quickly get up, and were still kneeling on the ground secretly glancing at him, the evil fire that he had just suppressed suddenly emerged again, and he almost gritted his teeth as he drank.

"Why, do you want me to say it a second time?"

shuh...

As soon as these words came out, the three brothers were so agile that they jumped up directly from the ground.

Looking at the three little guys sitting obediently opposite him, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply again and kept reminding himself in his heart.

"My own child, my own child, there's nothing I can do about it!"

"Don't bother with these little brats, they are just troublesome!"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had calmed down, Master Hu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn, it's so scary.

You guys from the Zhu family, if you want to make trouble, can you please not do it in front of me?

As long as it's not in front of me, let alone quarreling, even if you just start fighting, I will just happily shout "I want to see a river of blood"!

But why do you have to come to us?

The key point is that with Zhu Yuanzhang's bad temper, no matter what happens now, he will definitely blame himself afterwards.

Wouldn’t Mr. Hu feel very wronged then?

So, no matter how reluctant Mr. Hu is, he still has to stand up when the time comes.

It's not about being "loyal to the emperor and patriotic", not at all, it's all for self-preservation.

"Okay, now that both you and your father have calmed down, I will explain the previous problem to you."

"The reason why you are in such a commotion is nothing more than the question His Majesty asked just now."

"Will the interests of Ming Dynasty be harmed because the vassal states continue to use grain or other goods to offset debts or exchange for silver?"

"My answer is, no!"

"This is a win-win situation!"

As soon as Master Hu made this conclusion, both sides became excited.

If someone else had said this, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably have slapped that person in the face by now.

But it’s different if the person who said this is Master Hu.

Mr. Hu's credibility is extremely high in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Therefore, he also straightened his back silently and looked at Master Hu with bright eyes.

He is very concerned about this issue.

To be honest, if these little brats were to harm the interests of the Ming Dynasty after being released, he would rather not let them go.

I feel wronged, so what?

Less food for them or less drink for them?
