Chapter 661 Consumption
Besides, there are other places where Taipu Temple can earn money, such as operating pastures and purchasing fodder. Generally, horses need to supply 10 shi of wheat beans and other fodder every year, and 200 to 300 bundles of fodder.
Naturally, the Huangzhuang Farm around the capital is not enough to supply the supply. Zhu marked that the Taipu Temple’s accounts filed last year were purchased from the private sector for a total of more than 183,000 stones and 4,370 grasses. More than 95,000 bunches.
These accounts are naturally impossible to have no water at all. Of course, it is impossible for Li Cunyi to be the only one who amassed money here, and he can't even be regarded as the big head, but after all, he is the chief official in name, so naturally there are not too few.
Although it is suspected of using power for personal gain, it is still in control, and it is not too rampant. After all, the power of the imperial court to suppress corruption is intimidating, and the supervisors are also watching.
I remember that in the first and second years of Hongwu, the Taipu Temple’s accounts were even more exaggerated. Old Zhu even beheaded three Taipusi ministers to suppress this trend, and it was not stable until Li Cunyi came to power.
But now, there is nothing to say. The two-pronged approach not only beat Hu Weiyong, but also shocked the Beijing officials by the way, lest they think that the emperor's northern tour, they can take the opportunity to corrupt the law.
This move just happened to solve Li Cunyi's problem. This person is indeed an incompetent person. For Li Shanchang's sake, let him be a court official for the past few years, and it would be inappropriate to let him continue. .
If there was no Li Yan, Zhu Biao would not bother to care about him. It was nothing more than copying one more household when he was liquidating Hu Weiyong. At most, he would not let him drag Li Shanchang into the water.
But since there is Li Yan, Zhu Biao is still willing to protect her uncle without affecting the overall situation, which can be regarded as giving her some compensation in a certain way.
After making up his mind, he calmed down. At this time, he realized that there was a small head in front of the curtain secretly observing him, and he could guess who had such courage without thinking too much.
Whoever entered without permission to spy on the prince, even if ten heads were not enough to chop off, the guards in charge of guarding would also have to be executed. Of course, unless that person was the prince's favorite younger sister.
"Luer, come here."
Little Zhu Lu happily responded and ran to Zhu Biao's couch on two short legs. At this time, Zhao Huaian and the commander of the guards who were guarding the door knelt down silently to plead guilty.
Zhu Biao ignored them, just sat up and pretended to be angry, pinched his younger sister's baby-fat face and said: "There are no rules, if you want to come in, you should let people know, that's what the nurses and ladies around you teach you of?"
Zhu Lu was not afraid of him, but she still rubbed her tender face against her brother's hand coquettishly and said coquettishly, "It's not that he has no rules, he came in because he was worried about elder brother."
"Hey, brother, are you not angry?"
"Don't be angry anymore."
"That's great, I'm going out to play then."
Although his sister's concern was only for a while, Zhu Biao was quite satisfied. It is so rare for a child who has been trapped in the palace all year round to have the opportunity to come out to play and take time to care about him.
Zhu Lu rushed out of the camp only to see Zhao Huaian and others kneeling on the ground. Although she was still young, the little princess who was still very loyal quickly turned her head and begged: "I told them not to report, brother, please don't punish them, okay?" ~"
Zhu Biao deliberately remained silent for a moment before saying: "I haven't thanked the princess yet."
Zhao Huai'an and others immediately bowed to Zhu Lu: "The servant girl (the last general) thanks Your Highness the Princess, and wish Your Highness Furui Qitian."
Zhu Lu thought she had solved the problem perfectly, and left happily, but Zhao Huaian and the others still didn't get up, waiting for something silently, and Liu Jin came out after a while and said, "What are you still kneeling for?"
They breathed a sigh of relief. After saluting again, they got up and returned to their duties. It was not easy for them. It would be wrong to do anything in front of the little princess, and it was the best result to stop.
Zhu Biao rested in the tent for nearly an hour before he went to the banquet at the invitation of everyone, watched the singing and dancing music, and when the prince appeared on the stage, everyone's hearts fell back into their stomachs, and they felt leisurely and elegant again. Have fun.
In the first half of this trip, men and women were separated, but in the second half, it was not. If there are teenagers and girls who have already made a marriage contract, it is natural to take this rare opportunity to learn more.
Logically, this shouldn’t be the case, but after all, a marriage contract has been made and the date of birth has been exchanged. They are all families with a head and a face. Unless there are extremely special circumstances, there is absolutely no reason to regret the marriage.
So as long as it is not too much, take advantage of this opportunity, the two of them walk to a quiet place, and no one will bother to talk to each other with their little hands. It is indecent and insulting to the lintel.
As for the teenagers and girls who have not made a marriage contract, they can also take this opportunity to gather together to comment on poetry, calligraphy, chess and paintings. Although marriage is a major event, it is ordered by their parents, but those who can be invited here are from the right family. This is to challenge each other.
Since the family background is similar, the parents are naturally happy to follow the wishes of their children, not to mention these young girls are not stupid, if they really want to marry, they will think twice. It's not the point where she doesn't marry.
At most, it was a blind eye. After returning home, I talked to my parents and asked someone to inquire about the other party's reputation. If they both think it is suitable, the parents of both parties will come and go and test each other, and then they will formally invite a matchmaker.
Of course, this is the son of a civil servant, Wu Xun’s family is not so troublesome, the head of the family directly comes to the door with a jar of wine, and after drinking it all night, he will be clear, and soon the marriage will be settled that night.
Zhu Biao is already married, so naturally he won't mix it up, but Chang Luohua is very interested. It seems that women are naturally interested in matchmaking and happy to match up happy events.
No wonder most of the people invited this time were unmarried young girls. It turned out that in order to satisfy her little wish, Zhu Biao had enough rest and asked Liu Jin to bring a horse and bring a bow and arrow. It's not bad if you can catch the prey.
Zhu Biao is not very proficient with bows and arrows, after all, there is really no use for them. Riding was practiced during the Northern Expedition.
The one who came back with Liu Jin was Zhu Yi. There is no boy in the Zhu family who is over ten years old who can't ride a horse. This is also Lao Zhu's request, and naturally no one in the palace would dare to disobey.
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Why didn't you go there? I remember that you are also quite good at eloquence. While the father is not in Beijing, you can choose one that suits your heart, and the eldest brother can help you decide."
Zhu Huan scratched his head shyly and said: "My younger brother doesn't think about these things, not to mention the important matters of marriage, just listen to the arrangement of the father, queen mother or elder brother. What does my younger brother know at a young age."
Although it was a good-looking thing, it was still very pleasant to listen to. Zhu Biao patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said: "Then why did I hear Luer say that you just stared at the second miss of the Feng family in a daze, and she ran away in anger ?”
Zhu Huan's face turned red, and he defended: "No, I was looking at the scenery in the distance. How could it be possible to stare at others, brother, don't listen to Luer's nonsense."
Zhu Biao shook his head and laughed. Children of this age are really precocious, but it is also true that at Zhu's age, in ordinary people's homes, it is a bit early to get married, but most of the marriages are settled.
The girl from the Feng family is referring to the family of Wei Guogong Feng Sheng. Feng Sheng has only two daughters under his knees, and there is no male male, so these two daughters are naturally the jewels in the palm of his hand. So far, neither of them has settled on a marriage.
Second Miss is about the same age as Zhu Wei, it's not too early to make a decision now, and it's not too late to make a decision in two years, but Miss Feng's family is not young, so I don't know what her plan is.
But just now I saw that my princess has been pulling Miss Feng's family to talk, and her attitude is very friendly. Could it be that she intends to make a decision for Chang Mao?
