Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 715 Blocking everyone's money, you are dead!

"The Beijing-Tianjin Expressway is closed, does Master know?"

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's casual question, Zhang Haogu picked up a chess piece and dropped it: "The Beijing-Tianjin Chidao has been suspended, and the Chidao Yamen and the Ministry of Industry have passed the checks. It's not a big deal."

Zhu Youxiao lowered his head slightly, watching Zhang Haogu's Luozi drop his chess pieces beside him with a smile: "Right now, the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway is stopped, and there is a lot of commotion among the people. The merchants from all walks of life are the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, making a lot of noise. .”

After hearing this, Zhang Haogu asked: "Have the merchants entrusted their relationship to His Majesty?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Is there someone looking for Master?"

"Your Majesty is innocent, the father-in-law of His Royal Highness Xin Wang has come to find me, I hope I can come up with a solution." Zhang Haogu didn't hide anything.

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Eunuch Wei who was beside him: "Old man of King Xin, does he have a big business?"

Zhang Haogu explained: "Zhou Kui is still very talented in business. Whether it is producing glass or planting greenhouse vegetables, he always followed the court's actions. After the news of Chidao spread, he built a steel plant to smelt steel."

"Speaking of which, a lot of Zhou Kui's business capital was borrowed from the bank in the name of King Xin."

Zhu Youxiao couldn't believe it when he heard the news: "He took a loan from the bank in the name of King Xin, and then opened his own factory? He really is a good father-in-law."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Zhou Kui is a man who loves money like his life, so it's not surprising that he can do these things."

Zhu Youxiao nodded. In fact, he didn't care too much about Zhou Kui. The only thing worth noting was his identity as the father-in-law who believed in Wang.

After all, those from the Donglin Party and many gentry and wealthy families in the south all wanted to support Xin Wang Zhu Youjian as emperor, Zhu Youxiao had to let it go secretly, and now he is working hard to take care of the Daming. In order to give his precious son in the future, no one can be his hindrance in this matter.

If it is said that there was no son before, then Zhu Youjian is the future heir of the Zhu family dynasty, but who made Zhu Youxiao have a son now.

Moreover, as Zhu Youjian repeatedly contradicted his opinions, and was urged by those Donglin party members to enthroned to add to his troubles, Zhu Youxiao was no longer willing to see Zhu Youjian in the capital, and he was not circled right now. Ban it, but put it out of sight and out of mind is already giving this younger brother a chance.

On the one hand, after all, he is a half-brother who grew up with the same father, and Zhu Youxiao didn't intend to really do anything to Zhu Youjian; If he really attacked Zhu Youjian, there must be rumors among the people that he was narrow-minded and couldn't tolerate his younger brother.

Zhu Youxiao's current achievements don't mention Daming, but looking at the past dynasties, it can be ranked first. There is no need to smear yourself, so as long as Zhu Youjian is honest, wait for Zhu Ciran to grow up in a while Now, Zhu Youxiao will let Zhu Youjian come back and continue to be a rich prince.

Knowing that Zhou Kui is just a greedy and stingy guy and has nothing to do with Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youxiao also felt relieved, casually picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, Zhu Youxiao looked at the chess game in front of him: "Master What do you think about Chidao?"

Zhang Haogu looked very indifferent: "Your Majesty, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a wealthy gentry who does not know the heights of the sky and the depths of the world. If he wants to repair the way, what kind of family can stop him?"

"Stop Chidao, don't mention anything else, the people and businessmen in Tianjin will not let them go, Your Majesty doesn't need to care."

Zhang Haogu's attitude was in line with Zhu Youxiao's expectations. It is impossible for Zhang Haogu not to know about this matter. From the looks of it, Zhang Haogu didn't intend to take care of it at all.

After all, what he said is correct, the left and right are nothing more than a local family, no matter how intertwined his local power is, he is weak in the face of the court, the court does not even need to do it himself, as long as he shows such an attitude, the people around The forces will rush to destroy it and carve it up.

"That's true. If the imperial court really takes action against him, it will appear that the imperial court is bullying the younger." Zhu Youxiao said.

Zhang Haogu dropped a son, and said slowly: "It's nothing more than a small family who doesn't know current affairs. The court pays too much attention to him by doing it himself. It doesn't make much difference if the road is repaired one day earlier and later, so I just took the opportunity to look around. In response to the imperial court's repair of Chidao, Chidao will be fully rolled out in the future, and there is also a preparation."

Zhu Youxiao heard Zhang Haogu's meaning: "Master is saying that there are still many obstacles in the implementation of Chi Tao?"

Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, after a short stay, nothing can be seen."

"Nowadays, the North is implementing the New Deal in an all-round way, banning local clan forces, and the imperial court can directly govern villages, towns and farms. Even so, there are still many problems in passing, such as folk customs, Feng Shui, or others. Even in the North, this is the case, especially What about the South?"

"The clans and rural forces in the south are deeply rooted. They firmly control the local courts. Whether they want to implement new policies or lay roads in these places, it is undoubtedly an impact on their interests. These people will inevitably use various means to hinder them. Court."

Zhu Youxiao sneered: "These people only care about their own interests and don't know the overall situation at all. When the road is really laid to the south, I want to see if these people really dare to oppose the court!"

The two monarchs and ministers were chatting and playing. After a while, Zhang Haogu was forced to a dead end by Zhu Youxiao again. With a helpless sigh, Zhang Haogu put the chess pieces back into the basket: "Your Majesty, you and I are like this!" How can you improve your chess skills?"

Zhu Youxiao was very happy: "The masters play chess with me on weekdays, but they are not as happy as they are now."

Eunuch Wei watched Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu's harmony between monarch and minister, and was about to say something when Dongchang's fans came in: "Mr. Chang, the latest news."

Eunuch Wei took a look at the information, and immediately handed it to Zhu Youxiao: "My lord, take a look at this."

Zhu Youxiao looked at the latest news, narrowed his eyes slightly, and let out a cold snort: "Oh, interesting."

As soon as Eunuch Wei heard that Zhu Youxiao was unhappy, he immediately took a few steps back and lowered his head. The maids and eunuchs serving in the Hall of Martial Arts also lowered their heads one after another, and the whole Hall of Martial Arts became quiet all of a sudden.

Before Zhang Haogu could think about it, Zhu Youxiao handed over the information: "Master, take a look at this."

Zhang Haogu took the information, on which were written the details of the Yang family, including everyone's birthday, hobbies, daily social relations and who they had contact with clearly.

Among them, the old lady of the Yang family, the second room of the Yang family, and the precious son of the second room of the Yang family were mentioned the most.

"Purple gas enters the abdomen, born with jade in his mouth, he has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, he is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, knows the general meaning of history books, and calls himself Qingming Layman... This is a rare genius." Although Zhu Youxiao had a smile on his face, But there was no smile in his eyes.

Looking at these descriptions, Zhang Haogu couldn't help but sigh with emotion for the death of the Yang family. It's okay for you to keep silent about these things, but you made it known to everyone with a big fanfare and didn't restrain yourself. Hitting the muzzle of a gun, what is the Yang family thinking?
Then how powerful is the son of the second room of the Yang family that the old lady of the Yang family paid so much attention to him as the successor of the Yang family?

"Master, tell me, this purple qi enters the belly, and the jade is born. Could it be that the Yang family gave birth to a fairy?" Although Zhu Youxiao seemed to be asking Zhang Haogu, he was actually asking and answering by himself.

Eunuch Wei leaned forward and said: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the Yang family. They have the audacity to fight against the imperial court, and they have raised such an evil thing at home. The Yang family is eating inside and out. It is a crime that cannot be punished!"

"A genius with precocious wisdom may really be a genius, but the most important thing in Ming Dynasty is a genius. Wei Banban, go and find out who is behind the Yang family, and find out to the end." Zhu Youxiao's words were very flat, But the hidden chill in it makes people shudder.

As the supreme emperor who holds the authority in the world, Zhu Youxiao was angry.

What he was angry with was not that the Yang family had committed suicide, nor was it that the Yang family had such a so-called genius who was born with purple energy in his stomach and jade.

Zhu Youxiao didn't particularly respect ghosts and gods. He is the emperor, the supreme being in the world. He can't get it.

If there really are any gods, Zhu Youxiao is also the undisputed ruler of this world.

What's more, Zhu Youxiao has come all the way, severely punishing corruption, dividing the land equally, collecting food as a whole, implementing the new policy, building a new army, and turning the Ming Dynasty from a decline to a prosperous age. , His power and prestige are already at the peak, apart from the founding king, the only one who can be compared with him is Emperor Taizong.

Therefore, for a simple child, Zhu Youxiao didn't care about such things as being born with jade in his mouth, or having a child with purple qi in his stomach, because these things would not affect his power or shake his power.

Even if this family is a bit more arrogant and everyone knows about it, but now that the Ming Dynasty is in full swing, won't this child want to be an official and serve the Ming court when he grows up?
At that time, Zhu Youxiao can say with pride: All the heroes in the world are in my pocket.

Zhu Youxiao can allow a child of a merchant family to be born with jade, and the purple air enters his belly. If a local people name their child Wang Poming, Li Daiming won't care.

Even if the wild folk in the mountain village were called Wang Youxiao, Zhang Youxiao would just laugh it off.

Because these can't affect anything, he can show the mind of the emperor no matter what, people will only say that the current sage is kind, magnanimous, and loves the people.

But Zhu Youxiao will never allow these to be used by those who want to!
Knowing that there is a genius in the Yang family who is said to be born with purple qi in his stomach and born of jade, he still serves as a backer for the Yang family. This is something Zhu Youxiao will never tolerate.

It doesn't matter if you don't know, it doesn't matter if you are a businessman and a commoner who circles around to play with yourself, but if you have thoughts that you shouldn't have, then you are asking for your own death!

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Youxiao calmed down his anger: "The person behind this incident, damn it!"

"Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is already a peaceful and prosperous age, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment according to the steps, and enjoy a peaceful life, but some people still want to make a fuss in secret!"

"What kind of genius? Ziqi enters the belly, born with jade in his mouth, and calls himself Qingming. Is this something a ten-year-old schoolboy can think of? The person behind it has a heart to kill! This is to steal my world! Of course."

"Master, don't be in a hurry to go back. You will rest here with me tonight. Let's see with me tomorrow. Who is dissatisfied with me and wants to use this ridiculous method to make things upside down?"

Zhang Haogu sighed inwardly, this matter touched Zhu Youxiao's rebellion, but the New Party really didn't do anything about it, just pushed it a little bit, and the matter went to what the New Party most wanted to see situation.

For this matter, there is no need for the New Party to do anything right now. Everyone just needs to sit on the sidelines and watch the big drama unfold.

Eunuch Wei went down to investigate the situation of the Yang family, while Huang Liji of the Huang family looked worried at the stocks in his hand.

The stock that he had spent several thousand taels of silver before had increased by eight times. He hadn't been happy for a long time. The Beijing-Tianjin road stopped, and the stock fell as fast as a landslide, which made him feel distressed.

When Huang Hengruo came in, what he saw was his own father sighing.

"Father, this Chidao stock will definitely go up. Don't forget that His Majesty also bought the Beijing-Tianjin Chidao stock, and many officials from the court and central government have participated in a share. How dare a small local family in Tianjin How can they stop the big guys from getting rich?" Huang Hengruo undoubtedly showed his intelligence at this moment.

Huang Liji sighed again: "Can I not know what you said? No matter how powerful the person behind the Yang family is, he can't stop so many people from working together. How many party members Even came together with members of the New Party, how many people with lofty ideals are still in this clean and upright Donglin."

Huang Hengruo obviously didn't expect his father to be thinking about this, he sat down and comforted him: "Father, the situation is obvious now, no matter how hard we try, we can't fight against that person, so why do we have to fight against that person?" If there is a conflict, wouldn’t it be nice to make a smooth transition?”

Huang Liji sneered and said, "I don't want to have a conflict with him, but how can I easily negotiate a peace when it comes to the principle of position? What's more, am I alone now? There are so many Donglin Party members behind, and the scholars and gentry are watching , even if I want to retire, will His Majesty allow me to retreat?"

Huang Liji saw it very clearly. He looked at his son who was still a little puzzled and couldn't help but sighed again: "Oh, that one is at your age, and he has been in the cabinet for a long time. Now the one who is older than you I was still young, and I did not rely on the shadow of my parents to achieve the position of chief assistant, and the affairs were handled in an extremely proper way, even I had to call Yuansuke; look at you, you are still in the shadow One of the bookshelves, alas."

Seeing his old man sighing, Huang Hengruo seemed very calm: "Father, how can we compare with others? They are the real Wenquxing Lord who came down to earth to assist His Majesty in rejuvenating the Ming Dynasty. How can we compare with others?"

Seeing his son like this, Huang Liji didn't want to say anything, yes, what is he compared to Zhang Haogu?The more angry you get!
"Young master, young master, we have found out the relationship behind the Yang family!" A servant rushed to report.

Huang Hengruo became interested when he heard it: "Quickly tell me who is behind the Yang family."

"It's Elder Wei Ge." The servant said.

Huang Liji couldn't help but scolded: "It's nonsense! Why did Mr. Wei Ge take bribes from Yang's family? How did you investigate?"

The servant said aggrievedly: "It's true, master. The Yang family is really behind the elder Wei Ge. They communicated with each other through Wei Ge's younger brother. Then the Yang family sent a lot of money to Wei Ge. .As for the household servant of the Yang family in Nanjing, it’s just a target.”

Huang Liji was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Wei Guangwei is really involved with the Yang family?"

"Yes, sir, it is absolutely true!" said the servant.

Huang Liji slumped on the chair all of a sudden: "This is troublesome."

Huang Hengruo asked in confusion: "Father, why is this troublesome? Let's go to Elder Wei Ge and ask him to clear up his relationship with the Yang family?"

Huang Liji sighed: "If this matter is as easy as you said, it would be great. If it is purely a problem with the Yang family, then it's okay. Just don't forget, the grandson of the Yang family is spreading rumors, what kind of purple air?" Born with jade in the abdomen. This is the crime of punishing the nine clans, but Wei Guangwei is still involved with them. Do I need to say more about the seriousness of this matter?"

Huang Hengruo is not stupid either, he immediately understood what Huang Liji said.

Thinking of this, Huang Hengruo was also frightened: "Father, what should we do?"

"What should we do? We don't do anything, just wait quietly. If we don't move anything, this matter will not involve us. If we do anything, then this catastrophe will come to us It is." Huang Liji said.

"Father, Wei Ge's old family is really going to be in great trouble, His Majesty is kind and holy." Huang Hengruo asked cautiously.

Huang Liji looked at his disappointing eldest son: "The matter of the Wei family is nothing small. I believe that the Wei family has no other intentions, but do others believe it? This is a conspiracy to make trouble, and it is a conspiracy. How could your majesty forgive me lightly? The Wei family? What's more, do you think the New Party will let the Wei family go at this time?"

"Just wait and see, the Wei family is going to be in trouble."

Under the anger of the emperor, Dongchang and Jinyiwei investigated the case very quickly. They checked the background behind the Yang family in just one night. After summarizing the information, they handed it over to Zhu Youxiao. News, Zhu Youxiao's expression was a little astonished, but then he became angry: "Idiot! Fortunately, I think he is still a loyal minister and entrusts him with important responsibilities!"

"Wei Banban, go and summon Mr. Wei Ge."

"Slave maids will go." Eunuch Wei said that he was about to act.

However, Zhu Youxiao had a new idea: "Slow down!"

Eunuch Wei stopped and turned to look at his master, wondering what Zhu Youxiao thought of again.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly, with an expression of indecision, he said slowly after a while: "Go, call all the ministers of the cabinet and let them come to the Hall of Martial Arts."

"I'll wait for them here."
