Chapter 302 The province of the province
Chen Yun is now a person that Prince Zhu Jianshen doesn't like.
It’s not that Zhu Jianshen had a prejudice against Chen Yun. In fact, since Zhu Jianshen was appointed as the crown prince, the regulations of the East Palace were established in accordance with the regulations of the court’s Eastern Palace. When the crown prince was attending Shang Lu and entered the cabinet, he naturally became the Eastern Palace Secretary, the general secretary of the Zhan Shi Mansion, and the affairs of the Chunfang and the Jing Bureau were in charge of various affairs. Chen Yun became the Shao Zhan Shi, assisting the Zhan Shi to handle all matters in the Eastern Palace.
There is no doubt about how busy Shang Lu is. Every day he travels to and from the cabinet and the East Palace, he has no experience in dealing with all the trivial matters in the East Palace. Therefore, in fact, most of the trivial matters in the East Palace are handled by Shen Yun.
With the Zhan Shi Mansion, the left and right Chunfang and the Sijing Bureau, a large number of talents poured in. The official positions of the government chief, chief clerk, and the recorder have been implemented one by one. The entire Eastern Palace has begun to slowly start to operate. Chen Yun, a young secretary, has a little gap compared to these new officials. Some people must be jealous of his position. Although they will not slander or slander, there must be some mutterings.
Such rumors will be heard in Zhu Jianshen's ears, but Zhu Jianshen ignored all these rumors and always used Shenyun as usual.
This made many officials around the prince unable to understand it. Although the prince was young, he always followed the good. As long as what he said made sense, he would always listen. He had already become a wise ruler at a young age, so why did the prince stubborn in this matter?
Some people paid attention to Chenyun, and soon these people discovered that it was reasonable for the prince to trust this Chenyun so much.
Although he was the official position of the Young Secretary of the East Palace to handle all matters in the East Palace, which was equivalent to the steward of the East Palace, Chen Yun never pointed out in any way he didn't understand. Instead, he was like serving officials of all sizes and big or small in the East Palace. No matter what happened, as long as the matter was reasonable and in line with the interests of the East Palace, there was basically no one who refused to agree to the Zhanshi Mansion.
No matter what the prince ordered, the Zhan Shi Mansion had made arrangements. Whether it was what the prince thought of or what the prince did not expect, the Zhan Shi Mansion had all thought of it for the prince. It was easy to say just because of the meticulousness and seriousness, but now it has basically never made any major mistakes. This is a very amazing ability.
Of course, the most important point is that Chen Yun is in charge of the financial power of the East Palace. Whether it is the silver allocated to the East Palace by the court, the salaries of officials, or the various farm industries that were originally the prince, Chen Yun has been in charge of these things, and no one dares to inquire about the specific contents of these money. However, the prince handed over such important things to him, even if this person is a fool, everyone has to pinch his nose and recognize it.
Especially this person is not only not a fool, but also very smart and sleek, so there is no need to say anything. If you need money, just write a note and ask for approval.
Zhu Jianshen didn't know how much wealth he had now. He had no idea about money and other things. When Chen Yun was in charge of the royal palace, Zhu Jianshen still had a vague impression of his wealth. However, when his father became the emperor and gave him a lot of rewards in the palace, he was completely out of his mind.
Anyway, he felt that as the prince, he would never be short of money in his life.
However, Chen Yun has invited him to see him several times recently, and he always talked about money to him, which made him very fucked. In order to avoid suspicion and live in order to reassure him, Chen Yun specially asked him to send a few close eunuchs by his side. Therefore, it is basically impossible to rob oneself.
Moreover, Wan Zhen'er spent several days to clarify the account book that Chen Yun took out, and it was confirmed that there was no problem - the expenses of the Eastern Palace are a little too large now.
Chen Yun asked the prince to see this matter, and the monthly input and expenses are no longer proportional. Moreover, according to the current situation of the Eastern Palace, the expenses must continue to increase. If this continues, I am afraid that in less than three months, the Eastern Palace will have to sell some of the treasures or fields from the palace last time to make up for the deficit.
However, who can do such things in the world? Only the prince cannot do it. If the prince is so embarrassed that he wants to sell treasures and land stores, what kind of attraction is there to attract talents from all over the world to serve him?
The prince really can't afford to lose this person!
So, now Zhu Jianshen is not to mention Chen Yun, and he is even annoyed when he hears Chen Yun's name. This guy is simply a death-hunting ghost. He needs money when meeting him. Zhu Jianshen has been studying the way of governing the country for the king since elementary school, so how can he know where it should be turned into money!
"It's not a solution for you to not see Chen Zhan like this!"
Wan Zhen'er combed Zhu Jianshen's hair. Seeing the young man in front of him with a sad face, he couldn't help feeling distressed: "Or, let me tell you about the empress dowager about the empress dowager's embarrassment and see if you can use the treasury to alleviate the situation of the Eastern Palace..."
"I've tried it long ago. My grandmother seems to have not understood what I said!" Zhu Jianshen said slightly: "I guess I just said it clearly. She and I will shun this matter on my father. My father has been in Nangong for many years. Even if he restored the throne and took charge of the government, how long will it take? Even if there is treasury, I'm afraid there will be not much!"
"Yes, it can only alleviate the urgent need, but it will not last long!" Wan Zhen'er tried hard to smile and comforted Zhu Jianshen: "Where can the Ministry of Revenue go around the cabinet and find some names to let the Ministry of Revenue allocate some money!"
"It's useless. Not to mention that the Ministry of Revenue is so poor that they are dying. Even if they have money, Xu Youzhen doesn't nod, and there is no extra money here in the East Palace. They give it all the money they should give!" Zhu Jianshen waved his hand and sighed and said, "I didn't know that our Ming Dynasty looked rich and colorful. Now I know that there are places where money is used everywhere. The annual income for several years is not enough to cover the expenses. It would be great if we don't have enough money. Where can we give us extra money!"
"Then it seems that we can only increase revenue and reduce expenditure!" Wan Zhen'er said with a smile: "We should spend the places where we should spend, and we should not spend the places where we shouldn't! Let Chen Yun think of more ways to see if there is any other source of wealth to use!"
Zhu Jianshen was originally worried about the country and the people. When he heard Wan Zhen'er's words, he was slightly stunned, and then burst into laughter.
"I was saying something wrong?" Wan Zhen'er was a little surprised.
"No, I remembered a sentence. When I was in Nanjing, what Xu Bai said to me was almost the same as what you said!"
"What are you talking about? Is it funny?" Wan Zhen'er shook her head, and there was a doting expression on her face.
"Eat steamed buns and visit the kilns - the province that should be the province, the flowers that should be the flower!" Zhu Jianshen couldn't help laughing, and he remembered the situation when Xu Bai said this to him in Shishi Xiaozhu.
"How could Xu Bai say such vulgar words to the prince!" Wan Zhen'er's face was stern. Seeing the prince's smile, she burst into laughter: "That guy comes from the market and makes him not elegant either. His Nanzhen Fushi, a wealthy family in our mansion, will he see him next time. Prince, you have to talk about him well. Spending so much money to support the people of the Nanzhen Fushi, isn't he going to say these unreliable words to the prince!"
"Don't talk about this, my head hurts again when I talk about this!" Zhu Jianshen heard Wan Zhen'er back, his face suddenly felt a little bitter: "Wang Zhi has already asked for silver several times to prepare for the West Factory. The money I promised him was just allocated a small part of it. If this money is less than that, the West Factory can't even build a shelf. Moreover, even if he sets up a shelf, I'm afraid he will be more silver than the Nanzhen Fushi Department in the future!"
He was a little crazy and fucked his hair. Wan Zhen'er had just combed him, but he immediately made a mess again.
"Why didn't there be so many annoying things in the past? Now it's all out. It's so annoying!"
"Or, stop the money from the Nanzhen Fushi!" Wan Zhen'er patiently combed his hair again: "Xu Bai's side, it's not bad. You forgot the gifts Wang Zhi brought back from Tianjin. You also said that these gifts solved your urgent need. In Tianjin, Xu Bai has now stood firm and leaned against the Cao Transportation Terminal. There are more ways to make money than us!"
Zhu Jianshen was suddenly stunned and stopped going crazy.
"By the way, last time he told me about sending Jinyiwei to participate in the sea trade. Although it was not so explicit, it was just that. But didn't you tell me not to reply to him and ask him to figure out what I mean by himself? Why did you mention this matter again?"
"One time and another time!" Wan Zhen'er said slowly: "As the prince, he naturally has to share his worries with the prince. Since he has this ability, the prince naturally has to give him a chance. Otherwise, he will keep putting him in Tianjin and letting him have other thoughts, that would be bad!"
Zhu Jianshen thought for a while and shook his head slowly: "No, the military pay of the Nanzhen Fushi Department cannot be stopped, there is no need to discuss this!"
"Then another way!" Wan Zhen'er probably guessed that Zhu Jianshen's answer was like this: "The commercial affairs that the Nanzhen Fushi Department participated in were done well. The Nanzhen Fushi Department had to take half of it to relieve the embarrassment of the Eastern Palace. If it was done badly, it would be that the Nanzhen Fushi Department would be blamed, and it would be too wasteful to take the blame..."
"Will this be too mean?" The prince thought for a while and said with some uncertainty: "I suppressed Cao Qin's incident last time, for fear that he would feel unhappy. If he makes such a thing happen, if he is resentful, he is afraid that he will be displeased with me in the future!"
"No!" Wan Zhen'er explained with a smile: "He is afraid he is too happy. Prince, you don't know how much money the sea trade is. I heard that many ministers in the court have more or less related to this transaction. However, the imperial court's ban on the sea is here. They dare not openly disobey the laws, but they did so much in secret and made more, so why didn't there be any news of the slightest news?"
"A group of ministers can make a fortune in this matter. On the contrary, you, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, are embarrassed even in money. That's a bit unreasonable. As for the future, after the prince ascended the throne, the sea ban cannot be resisted. How to ban it is not the only thing that the prince said!"
"Would Mr. Shang discuss this matter?" Zhu Jianshen was still a little hesitant.
"Mr. Shang's eyes are not like these little things!" Wan Zhen'er shook her head: "Don't bother him. After all, although he is now a secretary of the Eastern Palace, he is walking in the cabinet. He is concerned about the big things such as the money and money in the world of Ming Dynasty. Moreover, don't you think that if you discuss this matter with him, you will be able to look down on the prince? If you can't cure the entire mansion and be in a difficult situation, will you be embarrassed? Then, in the future, the prince will be in a difficult position and in a mess?"
Zhu Jianshen nodded thoughtfully: "That's right! I won't bother Mr. Shang in this matter!"
"Leave this to me!" Wan Zhen'er said with a smile: "Let me go and see Chen Yun. He and Xu Bai are both friends from Nanjing. I tactfully told Chen Yun about the prince's meaning and asked him to tell Xu Bai that Chen Yun is a smart person and Xu Bai is also a smart person. I want to understand the prince's meaning and will not make any mistakes!"
"That's all your hard work!" The prince nodded: "You'll just take care of this matter from now on. You don't always say you're so bored in the mansion. Last time I saw you check the account book and checked it out. I'm very happy to find something for you. If you are happy, I'll feel at ease!"
"Then thank you for your care for me!" Wan Zhen'er smiled: "The prince isn't you afraid that I will attack me. Is it true that I can pretend to be powerful and greedy for Prince Mo's money?"
"Go and go, you need to spend it, just spend it directly, why don't you be greedy for ink or not!" Zhu Jianshen looked at her angrily: "Stay in the mansion all day long, do you have a place to spend money? If you go back to this matter, go and tell Shen Yun, I really don't want to see this guy again..."
"Ah sneezing!"
In Tianjin, standing outside the window, Xu Bai, who was standing outside the window, was practicing with a straightforward and eye-catching Xu Bai, suddenly sneezed a huge sneeze. Several servants who were practicing with wooden sticks were so scared that their hands trembled, which caused the instructors around him to make a few loud scolds.
"Who is talking about me?" Xu Bai gently touched his nose and muttered softly.
"Who is talking about you!" Behind her, Baili Susu was holding a brush in a decent manner and smearing something on the desk: "You have been standing in front of the window for a long time, and the wind is blowing in the hall. Haven't your injuries healed yet?"
"It's been a long time ago!" Xu Bai turned around: "Doctor Tian said, it's almost done. Hey, you're writing, not painting!"
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Baili Susu didn't even look at Xu Bai: "Mr. Tong said, the mansion must have the rules of the mansion. I have to set up the rules, which are written in black and white. Whoever makes mistakes in the future will have a charter!"
"Well, it looks a bit like a hostess!" Xu Bai nodded with satisfaction: "It's just that word is too ugly..."
