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

Chapter 117 Zhu Yuanzhang's Concerned Water Transport
Before Zhang Xi finished writing his secret report, Hu Hanshan had already written tens of thousands of words eloquently, and sent up his views on water transportation through Song Zhong.

Hu Hanshan stretched in the study, wrote another plan about water transportation, and went out to find Zhang Youwen.

This time, so many heads were beheaded, and a large amount of gold and silver were copied from the homes of Ningguo government officials, all of which were used to build a nursing home.

Although the money obtained from the house raid this time was quite a lot, it was barely enough to maintain the operation of the entire Jinling Nursing Home.

In order to spend every penny wisely and build more nursing homes with the least amount of money, Zhang Youwen sent someone to send a message, hoping that Hu Hanshan could go over and help with the staff.

Zhang Youwen, as an important staff member under his command, building a nursing home is another thing that can make Emperor Hongwu happy. Hu Hanshan rushed over immediately after finishing his work.

For many days, Hu Hanshan took Zhang Youwen to check the locations in Jinling non-stop, and finalized the locations of about twenty or thirty nursing homes.

Zhang Youwen looked at the Daming banknotes taken out one by one, and the hemp leather pocket used to hold the Daming banknotes shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and said regretfully: "It would be great if we could continue to repair the pipe trench this time."

"Don't use so many Daming banknotes to buy and sell land deeds. With the proprietor's temper and not caring about his reputation in Jinling, he has already robbed the houses of those officials."

"Saving more than half of the Daming banknotes, at least it can double the number of nursing homes in Jinling."

Hu Hanshan didn't expect Zhang Youwen to have such an idea, so he laughed and scolded: "You have a really good idea. Use the reputation of the county's horses for money, right?"

Zhang Youwen couldn't help laughing when he heard this scolding: "It is because the proprietor is dedicated to the common people that the student and Gao Xun will not hesitate to offend so many bureaucrats and gentry, and become the proprietor's master's staff."

Hu Hanshan didn't care about his reputation among bureaucrats and gentry, that was for his own reasons, he was still full of admiration for Zhang Youwen and Gao Xun: "It's really a pity."

"If Emperor Hongwu can let the county horses continue to repair the pipe ditches, let alone double the number, even if there are enough nursing homes in all counties in the entire Yingtianfu, it will be no problem."

"It's not that Emperor Hongwu didn't let you continue to repair the official ditch. It's your act of snatching the houses of officials. It really scared Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the left."

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Hu Hanshan, and the old layman and the housekeeper appeared behind him at some unknown time.

Hu Hanshan knows the identity of the old layman, not only can enter and leave the palace at will, but also talk to Emperor Hongwu.

Hu Hanshan took a few steps closer, and said flatteringly, "I'm sorry to trouble you to say a few more words of kindness in front of Emperor Hongwu, can you let the county horse repair the pipe ditch again?"

"It doesn't take long, just need to be able to snatch... um... that borrowed land from all the nursing homes."

Zhu Yuanzhang still doesn't know what Hu Hanshan is planning. He has never thought of letting Hu Hanshan continue to repair the pipe trench: "With your father's obsession with you as the successor of the Hu Party, how could you be willing to let you offend the capital?" The bureaucrats and gentry here."

"Not to mention continuing to repair the pipe ditch, even if Emperor Hongwu agreed to this matter, the final task of repairing the pipe ditch will not fall on your head."

If you can't repair the pipe trench yourself, then this matter is meaningless.

There is also a harm, if other officials are asked to repair the official ditch, it will only encroach on the houses of the common people.

Hu Hanshan shook his head: "That's still to build a nursing home step by step, and we'll talk about it later."

Zhu Yuanzhang came here today, on the one hand, to check the construction of the Nursing Home, which he was most concerned about, and on the other hand, because of the article about water transportation sent by Song Zhong.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take Hu Hanshan's water transport article seriously. If it wasn't for this kid's outstanding performance during this period of time, he wouldn't even have taken a look at it.

After Zhu Yuanzhang took a few glances at Hu Hanshan's article on water transportation, he could no longer move his eyes away. He not only read the end carefully, but also pondered carefully for a long time.

If he didn't know that it was written by a young man who hadn't reached the crown, Zhu Yuanzhang would have thought it was a water transport article written by a prime minister who had been in the officialdom for many years.

This prime minister is not just an ordinary prime minister, but an instrument of Wang Anshi who has rectified bad governance.

Zhu Yuanzhang already knew his identity in Hu Hanshan's heart, so he asked directly without hesitation: "You sent a memorial to the palace a few days ago."

Hu Hanshan was not at all surprised that the old layman knew about the memorial, and asked quite expectantly: "You have already read it? How do you feel about this article about water transport?"

"Can you get Emperor Hongwu's approval? Did Emperor Hongwu nod when he read this water transportation article?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did nod when he read this water transport article, but he couldn't say that, lest Hu Hanshan's tail would go up to the sky again: "Barely passable, it is a rare and good article."

good article?
This is gone.

Hu Hanshan couldn't help being a little disappointed. He spent so much effort writing the water transport article, not just for a compliment: "That's it. Did Emperor Hongwu say to let the county's horses go to Tongjimen?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't come here today because of a good article, he was not sure that Hu Hanshan really had the ability to control the wanted door.

Passing through the gate is not only related to the tax revenue of Jinling Chaoguan, but also concerned about the livelihood of millions of people in Jinling.

With Hu Hanshan's disposition, he will definitely oppose Huaixi nobles and bureaucrats.

This time it is different than before, it is very important to the livelihood of the people in the capital, and there can be no mistake.

Zhu Yuanzhang knows better than anyone else the tricks in the officialdom. If someone really trips Hu Hanshan at that time, it may not affect Hu Hanshan.

With Hu Hanshan's ingenuity, he should be able to avoid the burdens imposed by some officials, but this will suffer for the common people.

At that time, even Zhu Yuanzhang would find it difficult to save Hu Hanshan's life.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang knew too well the temper of his favorite daughter, Princess Anqing. If Hu Hanshan died, her daughter Princess Anqing would not live alone.

If you have a child, you will have the belief to live, and you will definitely live well for the child, and raise Hu Hanshan's blood to adults.

It's a pity that Princess Anqing's stomach has not moved until now, if she is really pregnant, she can rest assured.
