Chapter 97: The Royal Gift of the Treasure Sword

Hao Fenglou looked at Zhu Di with resentment. Today, he really felt what it means to cheat you and not discuss.

Zhu Di's expression was as usual, and put the tongs aside. He seemed to feel a little hot. He casually tore open the lapel on the crown garment and said lightly: "The prince is the crown prince. I occasionally hit him for his own good. But you are not lucky and just escorted the silver into the palace." He paused for a moment before saying: "But no matter what, this time you did solve my urgent needs. I originally wanted to reward you, but I heard that the Beizhen Prefecture Department intended to give you the deputy thousand households. Since that's the case, I won't do anything more. I invite you to come today. Do you know why?"

Hao Fenglou said: "I don't know."

Zhu Di smiled: "I really have something to be sorry for in this residence. After all, the prince is resentful. I summon you today to show you so that he will not dare to cause trouble for you openly. Look, although I am sorry for you, I still plan for you, and you don't have to thank me."

Hao Fenglou was about to spurt out his old blood, and he wanted to thank you. Do you really think that Mr. Hao believes that thunder and rain are all nonsense?

However, Hao Fenglou finally understood the meaning of the so-called summoning this time. It was nothing more than using Hao Fenglou to hit the prince while providing some protection to Hao Fenglou. As the emperor, since I have to tell everyone that I am protecting this person, no one should make any decisions. Of course, there is no need to say it out loud. In fact, a summoning is enough to attract imagination.

Zhu Di continued with a cheerful smile: "Looking at your appearance, I seem to be very dissatisfied. Forget it, don't mention the old things again. Didn't I say it just now? Don't be petty. I have said so much to help you. Mr. Yao came to the palace to tell me a lot about you. I like you as stingy, ambitious, can use your head, decisive, and have a bit of my style. Since you have come, let's have a bar with me."

After he finished speaking, a eunuch presented the warm wine and added another cup. He drank warm wine in winter, which was pleasant. Hao Fenglou did not refuse and drank Zhu Di. When Zhu Di was drinking, he always smacked his lips and couldn't help but touch his beard that was soaked by the wine, and said, "Tell me, how did you get this money? Although I know a little bit more briefly, I can't figure out some things."

Hao Fenglou did not hide it, so he told all his actions at Donghuamen. Finally, he said: "In fact, there was no commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty. This was the example of Emperor Taizu. However, although Taizu intended to lighten taxes and simplify administration, it was very different now. The court did not collect commercial taxes, but local officials would collect them under various names. The final result was that ordinary merchants did not take advantage of the people, and the court was unable to make ends meet. The methods of Weimin were actually just collecting commercial taxes on behalf of the court. Weimin established rules at Donghuamen, so that the Donghuamen could do things according to this rule. Compared with other places, it was more likely to attract merchants..."

Zhu Di listened carefully, sometimes drinking himself, after a few glasses of wine, he exhaled the smell of alcohol in his mouth. He roughly understood the various actions and effects of Hao Fenglou at Donghuamen. Finally, he couldn't help but nod: "This is actually the same as governing the army. The military law is strict, and the soldiers are at ease, because they are afraid that the rewards and punishments are unclear. Everything depends on the likes and dislikes of the commander..."

Zhu Di talked about his military theory like a cannon, and finally said: "It is said that no rules cannot be achieved. From ancient times to the present, it is not easy to set rules, especially for you, a small family, which is even more difficult at the foot of the emperor. Others don't understand, but I understand."

Zhu Di sighed, but it was really not easy to hit Hao Fenglou's thoughts. What are the rules? To put it bluntly, everyone must abide by them. But in this Nanjing city, many wealthy families and nobles will these people care about your rules? I don't know how many people I offended and caused many conflicts.

Others would not understand such things. Zhu Di understood them because he once governed a huge army as a commander.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said to the eunuch beside him: "Get my knife."

The eunuch went quickly. After a while, he came carefully holding a long sword. The knife was simple and unpretentious. The cowhide sheath outside had even appeared, and the handle seemed to be a little mottled. Zhu Di took the knife and pulled out half of the knife. A clanging sound was like a dragon roar. The blade was still sharp, unlike the appearance, and the entire blade was covered with a hint of cold air.

Zhu Di sighed: "This knife followed me to fight east and west, and killed many thieves in the desert. Since the Jingnan Dynasty, I have also followed me to overcome many crises, and even dyed countless blood. It's a pity that the knife is still this knife, and I am no longer a knife-wielding person. There is a saying that birds are all good at hiding, and now that there are no birds, the sword has become a burden." He retracted the knife back into the sheath and threw it directly towards Hao Fenglou.

Damn...

Hao Fenglou is not a "heroic man". Seeing the heavy knife hitting his head, he was so scared that his face looked like earth. A donkey on the spot rolled on the ground, and then he heard a bang. Hao Fenglou sighed and said, "It's so dangerous. It's really dangerous to deal with people like Zhu Di. I'm not Ling Xue. You'll just put the knife in your hand, but you still have to play a trick in martial arts TV series.

Zhu Di suddenly showed embarrassment, but pretended not to see it, and looked away with his hands behind his back.

On this point, Zhu Di showed his meticulous side, not like a reckless warrior. His undeliberate action just saved the embarrassment in the hall.

Hao Fenglou took advantage of this opportunity and quickly picked up the knife and couldn't help but say, "Good knife."

Zhu Di said: "Give the sword to the hero..." When talking about the hero, when thinking about Hao Fenglou's performance just now, he was clearly a thief. Zhu Di couldn't help but smile and said: "This knife will be the rule of Donghuamen in the future. You should do more money and grain to the **. Donghuamen should work hard. If you want to travel thousands of miles, you always need to feed good food. I don't care whether you are a thousand miles away or not, now wear this sword and serve me well. Haha, look, I have said so much gossip. Come on, sit down and drink well. I want to try your alcohol tolerance.

Hao Fenglou put the knife around his waist, and he felt quite proud. I have the sword in his hand. However... it seems that this knife is really too cold. When the tooth defense team makes more money, it is time to get a shark skin scabbard and put a few gems on it. Should I burn the golden characters of the emperor's imperial gift or the ** treasure sword? Well, I need to think about it carefully in the future.

Hao Fenglou suddenly felt relieved from the depression of being trapped, and sat down steadily, and had a drink with Zhu Di.

After three rounds of wine, Zhu Di was a little drunk. He was still sober. He was not as expensive as those literati when he drank. He always wanted a few side dishes and thought about it slowly. In this era, he was definitely a great drink.

At this time, Sanbao quickly stepped in and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness Ning has arrived."

"Haha..." Zhu Di laughed and said to Hao Fenglou: "My sixteenth brother is here, hurry up, please come in."

Hao Fenglou stood up and said, "Then, I will leave."
