Daming: I asked you to supervise the country, Daming is all crazy?

Chapter 49 Zhu Gaosui: Nephew, you didn't expect that, did you?I'm back! ! !
"Grandfather, there is another matter that needs to be reported to you at the end!"

After leaving the assassination scene, Zhang Mao followed Zhu Zhanji.

The distance between the two is less than half a meter, which is a distance that can maintain dignity.

When Zhu Zhanji encounters danger, he can also respond immediately.

"what's up?"

After Zhang Mao finished speaking, Zhu Zhanji looked back at him and asked.

"It's His Royal Highness King Zhao. Jin Yiwei sent a message saying that the emperor felt that Yingtian was a bit messy recently, and then ordered His Royal Highness Zhao to answer Tian to come and see!"

"My third uncle is going to respond to the sky?" Zhu Zhanji was a little surprised.

Zhang Mao nodded: "Yes, these are the news that just came back today, presumably His Royal Highness Zhao Wang is already on the way to respond to the sky at this moment!"

After finishing speaking, he added with some hesitation: "It's just that the news is a bit weird. The emperor asked His Royal Highness Zhao Wang to respond to Tian to take a look, but he also said that Ying Tian was not peaceful recently. For the safety of His Royal Highness Zhao, only Zhao Wang Wang stay at home and watch!"

"What's so weird about this, let's go to confinement!"

Hearing Zhang Mao's words, Zhu Zhanji curled his lips and said something.

But immediately, his face became a little depressed.

His third uncle was kicked out of Huitian and put in confinement, so he naturally knew the reason.

After all, he was the one behind the scenes.

It's just that his original target should be Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu.

After all, the person behind Jing Nan, if he remembers correctly, is his second uncle.

But the result of the matter obviously did not go according to his expectation, and the third uncle was actually brought back by a mistake.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that things were not that simple.

If my royal grandfather really wants to punish Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, the best way should be to let him go directly, instead of rushing to respond to the sky, playing some tricks of confinement, and making it fancy.

Zhu Zhanji felt that there might not be any real meaning of asking Zhu Gaosui to come back and take a look.

After all, although he didn't do many things these days, he actually didn't do many.

Especially Ji Gang who ransacked the family and controlled Jin Yiwei.

Although the evidence for the former is conclusive, Zhu Di also spoke for the latter.

But Zhu Zhanji didn't think that the grandpa emperor was so relieved to let him control Jinyiwei.

Otherwise, at this time, Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao who was originally a temperate Jinyiwei, would not have been driven back.

Zhu Zhanji has been following behind his stupid father since he was a child, and he understands this grandpa's tricks very well.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji said to Zhang Mao: "You should keep an eye on this matter first, and when my third uncle is about to arrive in Yingtian, you can notify me in advance so that I can go to meet him. After all, my nephew , Uncle has come home, so you have to give him a welcome!"

Zhang Mao nodded without thinking too much.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and then told him: "The other thing is that when you were working in Jinyiwei recently, restrain yourself! This matter will not be that simple. Don't be found by my third uncle at that time. Be careful You have to suffer!"

Zhang Mao knew that Zhu Zhanji was reminding himself, and when he heard the words, he looked a little more serious and said, "Don't worry, grandson, the final general will definitely not let His Royal Highness King Zhao take advantage of it!"

Zhu Zhanji saw that he knew the pros and cons, so he smiled and said: "Don't be too nervous, my third uncle, in fact, you can also make a small report, don't take it too seriously, you just need to remember a sentence become!"

Zhu Zhanji said, patted Zhang Mao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Be low-key, do things high-key, and I will support you for the rest!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zhanji did not continue this topic, but turned around and asked: "By the way, is there any news about Shen Wendu recently?"

Shen Wendu was released from prison by Zhu Zhanji a few days ago.

Before leaving, Zhu Zhanji also gave this product a lot of new salt.

Calculating the time, it was almost halfway to the ten-day deadline he gave.

Zhu Zhanji has been very busy these days, but he hasn't paid much attention to it. However, there are Jinyiwei people around Shen Wendu, and Zhu Zhanji wants to know Shen Wendu's situation is actually just a matter of one sentence.

Zhang Mao knew that Zhu Zhanji was very interested in Shen Wendu's affairs, and usually paid close attention to these matters, so he said without hesitation:

"Back to Your Highness, Grandson, Shen Wendu arrived in Zhejiang three days ago, and stopped at twelve places along the way, during which he met with 170 wealthy businessmen from the south of the Yangtze River. Among them, there were [-] rich merchants who met His Highness's requirements!"

After Zhang Mao finished speaking, Zhu Zhanji was slightly taken aback, and said in surprise: "If I remember correctly, he arrived in Zhejiang three days ago, that is to say, it only took him two days to get out of prison, and he found so many People? There are so many rich merchants in Ming Dynasty?"

No wonder Zhu Zhanji was surprised, although when he arranged for Shen Wendu to do this matter, he valued Shen Wendu's connections.

After all, birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. As one of the best wealthy businessmen, Shen Wendu will definitely know many wealthy businessmen.

But this year is not the future generations, the future generations get together, send a wechat or something, and get together immediately.

However, there is no such thing as WeChat these days. Going out is all about walking, and communication is all about shouting.
Shen Wendu was still able to gather so many wealthy businessmen in such a short period of time, which naturally surprised him.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was a little surprised, Zhang Mao remained calm and said, "His Royal Highness, do you still remember the Jinyiwei Baihu token you gave him?"

"Well, of course I remember!" Zhu Zhanji nodded and asked curiously, "What's wrong with this token?"

"Originally His Royal Highness gave him the token to make it easier for him to meet the grandson, but after Shen Wendu got the token, as soon as he left the prison, he immediately sent a subordinate to walk behind him with the token. Before, every time he went to a place, before Shen Wendu himself arrived, this subordinate with the token had already found the most famous rich businessman in this place, so that every time he went to a place, the rich businessman from this place would go out of the city early four or five miles to greet him !"

Zhang Mao said that Shen Wendu used the Jinyiwei Hundred Household Token, with an ugly expression on his face.

After all, every word and deed of this thing represents Jin Yiwei.

What Shen Wendu did was undoubtedly to discredit Jin Yiwei again.

Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Mao's words.

He doesn't care what Shen Wendu does, all he cares about is the result.

Although Shen Wendu was suspected of taking advantage of Jin Yiwei's reputation to fake his prestige, but what I have to say is that this method is good!
If Shen Wendu was asked to lobby one by one, Zhu Zhanji estimated that Shen Wendu would be exhausted, and Shen Wendu might not be able to complete the task within ten days.

After all, it is not an easy task for a hundred wealthy businessmen with a net worth of more than 100 million taels of silver to convince so many people.

Even if these people were saving face for Shen Wen, it was almost impossible to get these people together all at once.

"Yes, profiteers, profiteers, no profiteers, no profiteers, although this method is a bit sloppy, but I like it!" Zhu Zhanji praised with a smile, and then asked:

"Do you know how many wealthy businessmen who have received the news are leaving to meet the sky?"

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's praise of Shen Wendu, Zhang Mao was speechless.

In his opinion, if they all act like Shen Wendu.

There are a hundred ways he could have done better.

But when Zhu Zhanji asked, he still said honestly: "37 people have already entered Yingtian City, and there are about 80 to 100 people on the way, and more than [-] of them are hesitant. won't come."

Zhu Zhanji nodded, very satisfied with the result, and said: "Success, you should cooperate with Shen Wendu more on this matter, and you should also pay attention to the wealthy businessmen who joined Yingtian, so that you can avoid going out." What's the problem!"

Zhang Mao knew the importance of this matter, and immediately nodded when he heard the words, saying: "The last general takes orders!"

"In this way, you arrange someone to invite Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Household Department, to the Prince's Mansion. I will not go to the prison later. Those caught today will be locked up first, and all the rules will be handled according to the prison."

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while.

Shen Wendu's ability to handle affairs made Zhu Zhanji feel good.

Jingnan's remnants and orphans are almost negligible compared to Xinyan's incident.

To deal with these people, Zhu Zhanji is purely curious about Chuanguo Yuxi.

After all, if you take this thing back, you will definitely be able to exchange a lot of benefits in front of your grandpa.

But this matter is not worth mentioning in front of the matter of making money.

.........

About 30 miles west of Yingtian City, there is a salt mountain here.

Originally, this kind of salt mountain was completely tasteless for the imperial court, and it was a pity to discard it.

After all, no food can be grown near Yanshan Mountain, even if they want to sell it to others, they will not buy it.

However, since a few days ago, there have been some changes here suddenly. A large number of salt rocks were gathered by furnace households arranged by the Ministry of Housing and transported into temporary houses next to the salt mountain.

When they came out again, they turned into tightly sealed bags.

No one knows what happened to these salt rocks, and no one dares to inquire.

"How many batches is this?"

Outside Yingtian Hubu's salt warehouse, Xia Yuanji looked at the new salt being moved into the salt warehouse again, with a smile on his tired old face.

"Returning to my lord, it is already the seventh batch of No. 30 today, and now the salt warehouse in the household department is almost full!"

Standing next to Xia Yuanji was Li Wenyu, the left servant of the household department. Like the right servant, he belonged to the second in command of the household department.

But Li Wenyu belonged to the prince's party, and Xia Yuanji handed over the matter of Xinyan to Li Wenyu.
Except for the process of making new salt, Xia Yuanji didn't hide anything from him.

But because of this, the left servant of the household department, a dignified third-rank official, was shocked when he learned about this incident.

Originally, when Xia Yuanji asked him to be in charge of making a new kind of salt, he actually didn't take it too seriously.

The main reason is that he also heard that the new salt seemed to be made by the grandson of Jian Guo.

Naturally, he would not have any hope, let alone that the grandson of the emperor actually wanted to make salt out of poisonous salt!
As we all know, although poisonous salt is salt, it cannot be eaten!
Even if he doesn't know such simple common sense, this grandson of the emperor still wants to make salt?

Isn't this a joke?
But what he didn't expect was that Xia Yuanji, the household secretary, was very supportive!
And what really surprised him was when the new salt was made.

The originally yellowish or reddish poisonous salt turned into table salt like snowflakes after a series of processing.

Not only is it no longer highly toxic, but these new salts are even better than the best table salt before.

Not to mention the finer particles, the taste is also very pure, without the bitter taste of table salt before, and even the appearance has been improved several grades.

Moreover, compared with the previous ordinary table salt, the cost of these salts is not too high, it can be said that they are almost the same.

Li Wenyu could almost imagine how much benefit the Ministry of Households would bring after the new batch of salt was sold.

To put it bluntly, even if the emperor goes out to fight a few battles every year, as long as the scale of the war is controlled, the Ministry of Household Affairs will definitely be able to afford it with these new salts.

Thinking of this, Li Wenyu said with emotion on his face: "My lord, I still feel like a dream when I am an official. Thankfully, His Royal Highness Taisun thought of this idea. If it were replaced by those who sell private salt It’s unimaginable for the imperial court!”

Xia Yuanji nodded when he heard the words, but agreed with his words.

Salt and iron are profiteering. If the new salt is replaced by salt merchants who sell private salt, they think of it.

It is definitely not a small problem for the court.

Not to mention the impact on the salt tax first, if someone with bad intentions takes advantage of it, they will definitely be able to accumulate a lot of money.

At that time, it will definitely be a disaster for the court.

But nothing if!

This new salt was thought of by the grandson, this is the destiny!
"The work of new salt needs to be stepped up. If there is a shortage of manpower, it will be drawn from furnace households in other places. If there is not enough salt warehouses, new warehouses will be built. The preparations for new salt farms in various places must also start, and it must be before next year. , Completely replace all the old salt with new salt!"

Xia Yuanji directly gave Li Wenyu an order.

Li Wenyu knew the importance of the matter, so he nodded and agreed without thinking.

at the same time.

On the official road to the west of Yingtian City, Zhu Gaosui, who was dressed as a refugee, narrowed his eyes and looked at the carriages pulling sacks one after another.

He was accompanied by seven or eight "refugees" who were similarly dressed.

It's like a group of fleeing refugees.

Zhu Gaosui had a bit of embarrassment on his face, while counting the carriages, he smiled at a few "refugees" and said, "Look, my big nephew is just naive, he probably only got it a while ago. I would never have thought that when he got the news, I would have already replied to him."

The refugees around him are all his personal soldiers and the most trustworthy subordinates.

Zhu Gaosui still cared about his own life, so even if it was a disguise, he still had several soldiers around him.

After finishing his chatter, Zhu Gaosui did not forget the business and asked, "How are the people at Jin Yiwei? The news that we left the team and returned first was not noticed by these people, right?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, Jinyiwei, we all know the basics, and we can't make mistakes!"

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Gaosui nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, and ordered:
"You can send someone back later to inform them, and let them slow down the team. The emperor said that he asked me to respond to the sky to see, then we have to find out why, right? Otherwise, I won't be able to go back to deal with business !"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Also, how is Li Sigu's investigation going?"

"Forgive me, Your Highness. The matter of Li Sigu is still being investigated. Now the prison is full of grandsons. We can't get any news."

"Don't worry, take your time, my eldest nephew is in the light, we are in the dark, safety is the first priority!"
