Zhu Youjian continued to move forward.

Looking at the empty granaries, he was not in a hurry and filled them all with rice.

Instead, he chose to store 50,000 kilograms of peanuts in a smaller grain farm, which consumed another 250,000 barter value.

As for the chicken breast.

Zhu Youjian wanted to save some meat.

However, he doesn't have a refrigerator or cold storage right now, so he can't store these meat products for too long.

"It's good to save some meat for the cold winter."

Seeing that winter was not far away, Zhu Youjian thought for a while.

After doing this, Zhu Youjian went back with confidence.

For him, it's just a matter of seeing what he can exchange for tomorrow.

As long as he can save something, he will definitely exchange it. Who knows that he has a strong foundation now.

Back in the palace, the queen was already waiting for Zhu Youjian to come back.

Now there is only the queen in the huge harem.

Emperors like Zhu Youjian can be said to be very rare.

However, for Zhu Youjian, his system is to make him a weak king with a large harem, which is probably inevitable.

"emperor."

Queen Zhou saw Zhu Youjian and called softly.

"Well, is there something wrong, Queen?"

The way Empress Zhou hesitated to speak, Zhu Youjian guessed that there must be something going on.

There were not only the emperor and the queen in the palace, but also the maids standing waiting to serve. As for the eunuchs, they had already gone out.

"Your Majesty, I heard that all the ministers have arrived outside the Meridian Gate?"

Empress Zhou asked very carefully, because in her opinion, it was herself who caused the emperor to become like this. After all, if she was present, those ministers would definitely criticize her.

"Don't worry, it's just talk."

"Queen, please rest early. Tomorrow, the king will have an early court appearance."

Zhu Youjian changed into pajamas under the service of the palace maid, and the queen also changed into pajamas. After being asked to leave, both of them naturally got on the dragon bed.

Something always happens overnight.

The specifics still need to be experienced by the couple themselves.

Outsiders are insignificant.

Early the next morning, Zhu Youjian continued to get up early and then went to court.

Yesterday, the ministers brought the imperial students from the Imperial College, other Confucian scholars, and even some elegant relatives, who came to come and explain to him in a lively manner.

However, the Jin Yiwei commander was so frightened that he stepped back.

So in order to have a long-term plan, they had no choice but to have a good talk during the morning session today.

Now, the time has come.

Naturally, someone stood up immediately.

"Your Majesty, I heard that yesterday I was drinking and having fun with the Queen in the inner palace, singing, dancing and making music. Is it true?"

The person who spoke was naturally Cao Sicheng, the censor of Zuodu.

As a censor, he naturally had no choice but to say anything.

As for the eunuchs, they stared at this man one by one, with no intention of answering.

"How do you know what's going on in the inner palace?"

Zhu Youjian couldn't get used to the other party's temper, and then asked directly.

"My lord, as a royal censor, I have heard about the incident and it has spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital. Please think twice, your majesty. In the troubled times of the country, it is best to work hard to govern."

The Zuodu Censor behaved very reasonably at this time and seemed to think that what he said was true.

Zhu Youjian took a look, and then asked the ministers: "How do you know this?"

"I don't know." Chief Assistant Huang Liji immediately said.

"I don't know either!"

The eunuchs immediately understood what the emperor meant, so they all denied it.

Of course, they didn't have a meeting yesterday.

Because no one came to notify them at all.

Zhu Youjian sneered, then looked at these ministers, and then said: "I captured a few eunuchs and maids yesterday, and learned from their mouths that someone bribed them to pass news outside the palace. Do you know?"

"I don't know."

At this time, all the ministers are showing their loyalty one by one. How could they come to seduce the inner palace?

So everyone shook their heads in confusion.

"If you don't know, why do you, the censor of Zuodu, know about it? Could it be that you bribed the people who are in contact with the palace?"

If some things are not spoken out, no one will take them seriously.

All are default.

But when people say it, it is naturally a confusing account.

"Your Majesty, we have also heard about what happened yesterday. In order to persuade your father, we gathered outside the Meridian Gate. Since it was instigated by someone with ulterior motives, it is naturally not serious."

Xue Zhen, the Minister of Punishment, said to Zhu Youjian at this time.

Zhu Youjian saw that since someone came out to smooth things over, he didn't say much.

After all, I don't want to deal with this mess now, so I let these officials continue to operate in front of me, waiting for me to be completely safe to perform operations one by one.

"Forget it, Yushi Zuodu, please don't be reckless in the future. I will spare you this time. Just stand down!"

"According to the order." Yushi Zuodu felt like a fighting chicken just now, but he was defeated as soon as he came out.

I can only say this.

"Your Majesty, the Nine-Border Army has been in arrears for more than three months in salary arrears. The Ministry of Revenue really has no money to allocate. Please use your Majesty's internal funds to support the army."

Do you think my internal funds are a cornucopia?

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but slander him when he saw the Minister of Household Affairs standing up.

However, it is difficult for me to refuse at this time.

Because the other party's request is for the pay of the Nine Sides Army, which is a big deal.

So you can't afford not to get the money.

Zhu Youjian looked at the Minister of Hubu and said, "You don't have any Hubu left?"

"There are only three hundred thousand taels of silver, reserved for the end of the year."

The other party said a number.

Zhu Youjian was really speechless.

A country only has so little money at the end of the year.

"As a minister, aren't the Ming Dynasty's taxes too small? You can't support a country, so why do you only have such a small amount of money?"

"Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne, and you don't know the details yet. The taxes in the Ming Dynasty are already very low and have not increased for so many years. There are too many places where the country uses money. Ten million taels per year is simply not enough.

use."

The other party comes as soon as he opens his mouth, and the purpose seems to be to increase taxes.

This is to change your own life.

Zhu Youjian glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and then thought in his heart.

For the sake of his eternal imperial power, and for the sake of the mountains, rivers, sun and moon, Zhu Youjian would definitely not sacrifice his own life.

So he secretly wrote down this "loyal" minister and waited for the future to settle the accounts.

"Since the Ministry of Revenue has such an idea, all cabinet ministers might as well discuss a way to see how we can increase taxes."

Zhu Youjian did not object, saying anything like increasing business taxes would naturally not be accepted by these people.
