I don’t know when my son suddenly became so shameless. Or rather, since his son suddenly became wise, he has become shameless.

Children's wisdom is always a gradual process. From the ignorance of young children to the simplicity of childhood, then to the rebellion of young people, the recklessness of young people, after slowly entering middle age, people begin to gradually become mature and steady.

Of course, some talented guys will make great achievements when they get to teenagers and start their own careers. But most people have such a gradual process.

Zhu Cilang is different. He suddenly became wise when the Ming Dynasty was shaking and was about to end. Then, he rescued the dying Ming Dynasty as if he was cheating all the way.

Although the Ming Dynasty is still in turmoil today, it can at least take a breath. As long as there is a chance to breathe, this dynasty will be saved.

Looking at his bargaining son, Emperor Chongzhen softened his heart: "Okay, your Hu Ben Army will leave 500,000 taels, and the remaining 2.5 million taels will be sent to the treasury."

"It's absolutely not good for the Emperor. The soldiers of the Hu Ben Army and the Eastern Palace Guard must have a meal. How long can they eat for 500,000 taels of silver?"

"Don't you still have a Xishan? I won't leave you a 10% profit?" Chongzhen became angry again. His two armies ate the military pay of tens of thousands of troops.

But Zhu Ciyang sighed: "Father, I really don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive. The little money in Xishan Glass Factory is not enough for the soldiers. Father, these two personal troops of my sons are raised by themselves. Not to mention the armor, weapons, camps, horses, and all of them have to be paid for. Father, my sons dare to ask, without the Hu Ben Army, what will happen to Liaodong and Shaanxi?"

No one can deny the achievements of the Hu Ben Army, and Emperor Chongzhen also knew about this. After thinking about it, he finally made a concession: "Okay, you leave one million, and the remaining two million taels will be sent to the treasury. I can leave this matter without any blame. At least two million taels, I have to block the mouths of those ministers."

Zhu Cilang was overjoyed and thanked him: "My son thanked my father!"

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Cilang is a rebellious son. Not to mention anything else, he obviously took away 4.5 million taels of Wang Dengku, but he said 3 million taels to his father Emperor Chongzhen.

What they could find was Feng Ying, the Minister of Justice of the Three Laws, Xing Chenjiu, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and Chen Shiqi, the Right Censor of the Censorate, who could find only three million taels of silver from the eighth money house of Wang Dengku. And the more than one million taels that Wang Dengku borrowed and collected were borrowed and no one could find out.

In other words, the court still thinks that Zhu Cilang embezzled three million taels, not four million taels.

This is also one of Zhu Cilang's plans. If the truth is revealed and his father, Emperor Chongzhen, is not a single penny, at least he can still have 1.5 million taels of silver left.

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen was more kind than he thought. The court had a difficult life, and the treasury was just a bottomless pit. But even so, Chongzhen gritted his teeth and took out one million taels of silver from three million taels of silver for Zhu Cilang to make trouble.

No matter how others say that Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Cilang, doesn’t care about it, or how his history books describe his father Zhu Cilang. What Zhu Cilang only knows is that his father Emperor Chongzhen is a good father with a cruel and soft face. This is enough, because it is because of such a father who is the backstage that Zhu Cilang can let go of his hands and feet and do something big.

Two million taels of silver were transported out of the warehouse of the Hu Ben Army before he could even get enough, but Zhu Cilang was not sad at all. He made money again after he lost money, so he had a way to make money. Anyway, Curry still had a 2.5 million taels of silver.

Flowers bloom and fall, and flowers fall, and now it is the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and Zhu Cilang is already a handsome young man in fifteen years.

If we talk about traveling to this era of grass eggs, it is not only the Ming Dynasty that is about to collapse at any time when it is in turmoil, but also there is no trace of modern civilization here.

Don’t think that time travel is a good thing, even if you become a royal relative and a rich family, don’t forget that the food in this era can only be called filling the stomach. There is no wifi, no games, no entertainment, or mobile phones in this era, which is actually very boring.

Zhu Cixuan's personality is not as depressed as he is at ease. Although he has no games, no mobile entertainment, etc., he still lives a very fulfilling day all day long.

Even Zhu Cilang felt that he didn't have enough time. He wanted to use it for two days. Only when he got busy and turned around would his life become fulfilling and hopeful.

There are so many things that can keep him busy. Zhu Cilang wished he could pass on all the knowledge he had mastered to this era at once. But soon he realized that he was wrong. Not to mention anything else, the development of firearms has been stagnant.

Although there is a flintlock rifle and an improved cannon, it is still far from the expected ferocious firearm.

What's the problem? Zhu Cilang is unknown.

Also, it is the reform of the government. This is a slow work of fine work. When a corrupt court with a broken bone is full of bones, it will move the whole body. At this time, just a light finger is used to make the entire building collapse in an instant. But if you don’t reform, it will still rot and collapse.

All you can do is to carefully add bricks and tiles. When the building does not collapse, dig out the rotten foundation bit by bit.

Therefore, anti-corruption and corruption are also a gradual process. You cannot eat a fat man in one bite. If the Jinyiwei arrested all the corrupt officials in Beijing at once, then the court may be paralyzed in an instant. After all, their collusion and involvement with each other has long been deeply rooted.

In addition, Zhu Cilang finally had to read in his spare time. Most of the books he read were from the science and technology of this era, including agriculture, handicrafts, manufacturing, etc.

Also, he has to face emergencies at any time. For example, Huang Taiji is invading, bandits rebelling, etc. In the face of emergencies, he must react immediately and then take quick response measures.

Therefore, Zhu Cixuan's life is very fulfilling every day. After finally taking some free time, Zhu Cixuan finally decided to go to Huajiazhuang to see Xiao Shishi.

He once told Xiao Shishi that he was going to fight. When he came back, he would definitely go and see her.

But Zhu Cilang broke his promise. He had returned to the capital for so long, but he didn't go to see her. After leaving for many years, I don't know what this little girl is like. From him, he went north to Liaodong, then went to Zhangjiakou, and then went to Shaanxi to fight with Huangtai Kyi.

Immediately after returning to Beijing, and then dealing with the cases of the Eight Great Imperial Merchants, it has been more than a year since I counted.
