Hu Fei cupped his hands and said decisively, his eyes firm and his expression extremely serious.

Seeing Hu Fei's appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Since ancient times, ministers have only asked for merit and reward. How can they refuse the reward directly?

"It seems that the rumors outside are indeed true. Now that you, Mr. Hu, have so much money, you are indeed as rich as the country!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and said deliberately and deeply.

"Your Majesty, the money of a humble minister is the money of the Ming Dynasty. Although he is rich, he has no intention of being an enemy of the country."

"Now that we have said this, I have one more thing to ask you."

Hu Fei raised his hands and said seriously.

Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips and smiled, then asked slowly.

"Seeing that the New Year is approaching, it should be a time for the whole country to celebrate together.

I hope to spend a sum of silver on behalf of the court and your majesty.

Distribute it to the poorer people everywhere."

"Let the people who have no money to buy meat or wine have a good year, so that they can express their gratitude to the imperial court and your majesty, and to loyally support our country, the Ming Dynasty."

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Hu Fei looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked seriously.

Zhu Biao hesitated and asked slowly.

Hu Fei looked at Zhu Biao and said casually.

"One hundred thousand taels?!"

After hearing Hu Fei's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao opened their eyes wide at the same time, and couldn't help blurting out...
