Wang Xizuo then stood up.

Then he met a group of nobles and knights.

These Dutch nobles were the main force of the rebellion.

Their dissatisfaction with the Spanish princes had long been planning for a long time.

And now... in addition to admiring Wang Xizuo and the kind-hearted man behind him, they are also worried about the upcoming revenge of the Spanish.

Wang Xizuo selected some people from it.

They will take a boat to the Ming Dynasty.

For communication and visit.

A communication mission was soon established, and then, with letters, these people boarded the ship with dozens of Han people and hundreds of sailors.

Everyone in the communication group was inexplicably excited.

They were about to meet that kind-hearted man Fang. Of course, this exchange and investigation also concerns the safety of the entire northern province. They must inquire about the reality of the Ming Dynasty and determine whether they are their reliable backers.

Not only that, but also the attitude of the great charity toward the northern province.

Therefore, there were many people from Dutch people who were respected among the Dutch. They watched the ship slowly leave the coast, and they didn't know what they would go through along the way, but deep down they were filled with longing.

…………

Early in the morning.

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao obediently entered the palace.

Today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager.

Pleasing the Empress Dowager to please the Empress Dowager is not only filial piety, but also concerns whether the two have a protective umbrella in the future.

Protecting umbrellas are very important. Recently, the emperor is moody because of stocks. Who knows what will happen in the future?

The female relatives entered the palace early. Concubine Fang invited Zhu Xiurong to go with him. Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan deliberately went later and went to see Emperor Hongzhi first.

Emperor Hongzhi first went to greet him, then reviewed the memorials, took a break from his busy schedule to see Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan again.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be in a good mood.

So he smiled and said, "I heard that you want to replace the Daming treasure banknotes with the treasure banknotes of Xishan Money House?"

Fang Jifan hurriedly said, "Yes, the emperor, if it is just called Xishan Silver Notes, it would be fine in the Ming Dynasty. But in the future, the Ming Dynasty will promote silver notes. It should have a well-known name. After thinking about it, it will still be called Baochao, which can demonstrate the prestige of our Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Emperor Taizu Gao printed treasure banknotes. Unfortunately, the treasure banknotes did not use gold and silver as reserves. As a result, with the excessive control, the value soon plummeted, and then no one was willing to use them.

Nowadays, this treasure money can be regarded as being reborn from the shell of Xishan Money House, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "The new version of the treasure banknote will be sent tomorrow, I want to take a look first."

"What." Zhu Houzhao was stunned, and then said, "What do you think of this?"

Emperor Hongzhi knocked on the imperial case and said bluntly: "This is a big deal. Why? Can't I take a look first?"

"But...but can..." Zhu Houzhao said: "Just can't be changed?"

"Can't change it?"

"Father, do you think." Zhu Houzhao said with a serene remark: "This treasure banknote has taken countless manpower and material resources to be modified. If the father ordered it to be revised, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao deeply: "I am not afraid of wasting money."

Zhu Houzhao: “…………”

Emperor Hongzhi stood up: "Remember, I will ask Xiao's partner tomorrow to remind you again. It's not too early, so it's time to go to celebrate your birthday. Why, you came empty-handed?"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

Zhu Houzhao then remembered that he wanted to bring a birthday gift, so he hurriedly looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan was calm and composed: "I brought it, and I brought it. How dare I neglect the birthday of the Empress Dowager? Even if I go through fire and water, sacrifice my head and sprinkle my blood, I will…"

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and said, "It's not that serious. It's just that you are just trying to make the old birthday star happy. If she is happy, I will naturally be happy, otherwise..."

He did not continue to speak, and immediately issued an order.

…………

The Renshou Palace was already full of joy.

The destiny wives have come to pay a visit.

All kinds of gifts have been given.

The Empress Dowager was covered in silver hair, but she was in good spirits. She was accompanied by Empress Zhang, Concubine Fang, Zhu Xiurong and others, and surrounded by women like stars and moonlight, so she was overjoyed.

In recent years, many royal relatives have made money. After all, they have to get the most out of the world. Some purchased land early and appreciated the value of the land, some also learned to invest in silver, build workshops, and be behind-the-scenes shareholders, and some bought stocks. The market for this stock is not bad.

With money, you will be more generous when you take action.

In addition, all the relatives of the clan entered the capital, such as King Xing Zhu, who was also regarded as the grandson of the Empress Dowager's legitimate relatives and the relatives of the Empress Dowager.

In Beijing, if you want to make the emperor happy, what else can you do if your ready-made grandmother is here?

He wore a decent court uniform and the latest style of sunglasses, and his whole body was full of golden color. Now it is fashionable, which is the trend brought by Wang Jinyuan. As for his son, the prince Zhu Hou, now he is much taller and pays a happy salute to the Empress Dowager.

"Ah, thick, come, come..."

Zhu said happily: "I won't go forward yet."

Zhu Hou shook his head: "No, Sun Chen has to recite the book to Taihuang and Taim before he can come forward."

"Endorse?" The women all laughed.

The Empress Dowager became serious: "Oh, it seems that she has read a lot of books. It can be seen that she has gained her skills. Come and listen to the Ai family."

Zhu Hou shook his head and recited a passage of the Four Books and Five Classics.

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager said repeatedly: "What a smart child."

Zhu Hou raised his chest and was extremely excited: "Sun Chen's calculation is even more powerful. Great-grandmother, Sun Chen asked you, what is the thirty-seven times one hundred and fifty-six?"

The Empress Dowager: "…"

The other destiny women also looked at me, and looked at you, looking at each other in a row.

This is a multiplier, which is more difficult than ordinary addition and subtraction. People without a certain level of skill cannot calculate it, let alone calculate it silently.

Zhu Houdao: "It's five thousand seven hundred and seven hundred and seventy-two."

"Ah, is that?" Although the Empress Dowager didn't know the truth or falsehood, Zhu Hou thought it out casually, but he was still surprised: "That would be even more amazing."

"Of course." Zhu Hou said proudly: "The father said that the old Zhu family will be pitiful. If you are a human, you want to take advantage of us. If you don't learn to calculate, you will suffer losses."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone laughed.

Old Zhu's face turned slightly red and he smiled awkwardly.

Zhu Hou is still quite childish now.

He still maintained his youthful childishness with the cunning Emperor Jiajing in history.

History has changed after all.

The young man in history, whose father died early and lost his father, became the head of the family at a young age, and was then taken to the capital. A group of ministers with ulterior motives wanted to make this young man the emperor. He was an outsider, neither had the training of the Zhanshi Mansion, and went to the capital thousands of miles away, living in the deep palace, and even around him, without even a trustworthy person. Everyone seemed to want to get benefits from him. Those assistant ministers with great reputation in the court seemed to think about how to manipulate the child, and even made demands that they should not recognize their own father as their father. For this reason, they did not hesitate to mobilize the ministers to put pressure on the young man in history.

Under such a dangerous environment, Emperor Jiajing was created. He was becoming more and more mature, more decisive, and more gloomy at such a young age...

But now Zhu Hou is protected by his father and does not have the darkness too early. He follows his father and closes the door every night. The father and son calculate the accounts in the palace, and think about the stock value and land price every day. This is his happiest youth time.

The Empress Dowager took this great-grandson into her arms, kissing her left and right, and was very happy: "Accurate the numbers is a matter of the accounting department, but you have such talent, but you are worthy of the ancestors. Haven't you gone to the nursery school?"

"It's too expensive." Zhu Hou said: "It costs a lot of money. I followed my father to study."

The Empress Dowager was happy: "But you are old, so it seems inappropriate to go again, good grandson."

Zhu Hou said again: "The father and Sun Chen brought birthday gifts to their great-grandmother."

"Oh? Come on, come in."

The Xingwang Mansion has invested a lot of money.

A huge coral tree was moved here, and many people were amazed at it.

Such coral trees are priceless.

Zhu Hou broke free from the Empress Dowager, bowed to the Empress Dowager's feet, and said solemnly: "Sun Chen wished his great-grandmother a long life and a blessing as good as the East China Sea."

The Empress Dowager was very happy.

This coral tree was very expensive at first glance. Thinking of the fact that King Xing was reluctant to send his children to the nursery, he thought it was expensive, but he was willing to celebrate his birthday. This was enough to show the feelings of King Xing and his son, so he nodded: "Okay, okay, that's great."

As he was speaking, an eunuch came outside: "Empress, Your Majesty has arrived, and the prince and Duke of Qi have also arrived."

The Empress Dowager cheered up.

Emperor Hongzhi brought your own son and son-in-law in and gave a big gift.
