Daming: I'm rotten, my father is Hu Weiyong

Chapter 115 Open the situation

Just buying a few batches of tea can no longer satisfy Hu Hanshan's appetite. Only by becoming a tribute tea can Hu Hanshan be satisfied.

When Hu Hanshan heard with his own ears that Emperor Hongwu's elder brother agreed to this matter, he was very happy, and he was very happy for a while: "Don't worry if you are old, there is only one lady in charge in the house, and there are many rough envoys and maids. Maid."

"All are supported by Fuchun Tea House, and it will definitely not cost you a penny."

Zhu Yuanzhang is 49 years old this year, tasted the green and tender cardamom girl, and is dressed as a nun.

Knowing the taste, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Hanshan who was slapping his chest, and had a strange idea: "It's strange, we think he should look like a treacherous courtier, but he is getting more and more pleasing to the eye."

"Hey, maybe this kid is born with a pleasing face."

After Fuchun tea becomes a tribute tea, it will be able to completely open up the sales outlets in various chief departments, not just limited to the Zhejiang chief department.

If you want to spread it in various chief secretaries, you have to compete with other tribute teas that have been rooted in various places for many years, and you need to rely more on the Ningbo business gang.

Hu Hanshan was anxious about the tea business, so he cupped his hands, and immediately went home to discuss with Princess Anqing.

When the Qingyu case entered the private house, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear the daytime publicity, and sat in the main hall of the private house and remembered a serious matter to be done: "The main resistance to the abolition of the water and reform of the sea lies in the bureaucracy and gentry. The water transport envoy is to test the bureaucrats and gentry."

"We have placed high hopes on those honorable children, and those ineffective things have disappointed us every time. After serving as water transport envoys, they all go along with bureaucrats and gentry."

"Why can't you understand our intentions like Hu Hanshan?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of what was said in the Jinyiwei fan newspaper a few days ago that Hu Hanshan had openly offended Jiangxi bureaucrats and gentry, and nodded with satisfaction: "No wonder we like him, it should be because of this."

"It is imperative to abolish the water and transform the sea. Fortunately, the current water transport envoy is a member of the bureaucracy and gentry, so we use him as a breakthrough."

Jiang Yu understood Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning, and took out a fan book, which contained some fans he had arranged.

Most of them are this year's new Jinshi, or some of the candidates who are good at stereotyped essays, and they are expected to pass high school in the next scientific examination.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it a few times and was very satisfied.

The fan book is full of Huaixi dignitaries and high-ranking civil servants in eastern Zhejiang, without the slightest surprise.

All arrangements for fans are based on stability, and they are placed when officials have not really made a fortune. After more than ten or twenty years, these fans who share weal and woe can provide officials with real secrets.

Those civil servants and senior officials in eastern Zhejiang have all been in the ups and downs of their careers for many years, and each one is more sophisticated than the other.

But he didn't know that the confidant who had been by his side for many years was actually the son of Jin Yiwei.

Jiang Yu waited until His Majesty finished reading the fan book, and said in a confident voice: "Your Majesty, the Water Transport Envoy can be used as the reason for this temptation."

Zhu Yuanzhang read it once, and basically remembered the inside story reported by various fans, and was deeply impressed by the water transport envoy.

On the one hand, because of the profound background of water transportation, there are various intricate relationships among civil servants in eastern Zhejiang.

On the other hand, the envoys of water transportation took advantage of the convenience of water transportation to seek personal gain for themselves.

Not only is it not a pity to become a victim of partisan struggle, it is also a very happy event.

The candidate Jiang Yu picked out was the most suitable candidate from all aspects.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang had other plans: "There is no rush to choose candidates, we have other arrangements."

When Jiang Yu heard that there was another candidate for the emperor, he immediately felt that the emperor's majesty was unpredictable, and thought that it should be the son of the General Secretary.

There is no resentment because of the check and balance of the emperor, but I feel at ease from the bottom of my heart.

As long as he is dedicated to his duties, no one can slander him.

Jiang Yu was happy in his heart, and he became more angry when he spoke: "Your Majesty, it is better to use Tongjimen, which is the agent of water transportation and taxation, as a test first."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned tightly when he heard the word Tongji Gate.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, nodded and said, "Tongji Gate is indeed a good test. After all, it is related to a large amount of taxes, and it is even more related to the silver profits of the business gangs and caravans supported by bureaucrats and gentry."

Jiang Yu raised concerns: "Tongji Gate is also related to the livelihood of millions of people in Jinling, and a reliable person is needed to act as its agent in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang understood what Jiang Yu meant. If the bureaucrats and gentry were really pushed into a hurry, he would definitely use the people's livelihood that the emperor cared most about to coerce.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, people's livelihood is more important than everything else.

Jiang Yu wanted to persuade again: "Your Majesty, the long-standing problems of water transportation have been serious since the previous dynasty."

"Tackling the maladministration of water transportation should be done step by step, and it will take decades of hard work."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, agreeing to all Jiang Yu's advice.

Had it been yesterday, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have conspired against high-ranking civil officials in eastern Zhejiang without Jiang Yu's persuasion.

However, with Zhang Xi's pawn, it gave Zhu Yuanzhang the confidence to calculate the water transport envoy in advance.

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang wants to know, Zhang Xi and other fans can pass on what they saw and heard at a glance.

When the Water Transport Envoy discussed power and calculations in front of his nephew Zhang Xi, Zhu Yuanzhang would always be there.

It's like sitting in front of the water transport envoy in person, listening to his calculations from both sides.

Zhang Xi's identity is relatively close, he is a nephew who was taught by the Water Transport Envoy since he was a child.

However, this nephew, who had just recovered from a terminal illness, was no longer the Zhang Xi who would rather die than betray his uncle.

It was Zhang Xi who hated corrupt officials and how they harmed the people of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped talking, took out the local yellow book calmly, and prepared to deal with all the bad governance related to people's livelihood starting from the most fundamental prefectures and counties.

State affairs such as river affairs, water transportation, disaster relief, horse administration, etc., all contain the game and strategy of the monarch and his ministers.

If the bureaucrats and gentry overwhelm the imperial power, the common people in the world will suffer.

If Zhu Yuanzhang can overwhelm the bureaucrats and gentry this time by abolishing the water and changing the sea, he will be able to suspend the bureaucrats and gentry from solving the food problem in the conquest of Liaodong.

While speeding up the pace of opening up territories, it can also reduce the burden on the common people all over the world, and make the hard life of the common people easier.

After all, all the food and salaries for the conquest of Liaodong were snatched from the mouths of bureaucrats and gentry, and the flesh of bureaucrats and gentry was cut.

After Jiang Yu finished admonishing, he saw that His Majesty neither agreed nor disapproved: "Your Majesty, if there is really no one to choose, the general will have a suitable suggestion."

"It's better to let Hu Hanshan go to Tongjimen to act as an agent for the people's livelihood. It can't be said that the agent is very good, at least he won't be in the same boat with bureaucrats and gentry."

After Jiang Yu said these words, he never waited for a response, and resumed his devotion to his duty.

Standing respectfully by the side.
