My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 201 Feasting the Huang Family
Xu Jingchang patiently flipped through the pamphlet written by Huang Gou, which listed various disadvantages of the quarry in detail, stroke by stroke.He also recorded no less than ten lives, some were beaten to death, some fell to death from the mountain, and some died of exhaustion and illness... But no matter how they died, these people would be thrown into a mountain stream, and now the following There are many bones.

Seeing this, Xu Jingchang felt his hair stand on end. This is not a soldier of Ming Dynasty, he is clearly a servant!
I remember a saying that the Ming army is invincible when it is fully paid... May I ask when the Ming army was fully paid?
Treating soldiers like this, how can you expect them to serve the country loyally?

He thought over and over again, but Huang Gou was slightly anxious, and kept looking at his brother Huang Guan, as if asking, can this one do it?
Although Xu Jingchang is the governor of Jinyiwei and the Duke of Ding, but he is so young, he said that he can't do things well with his mouth, can this kid handle it?
Huang Guan is different from his brother, he has full confidence in Xu Jingchang and has no doubts.The main reason is that during this time together, he knows Xu Jingchang's methods too well.

This kid has all-hands and eyes, and every time it comes to a critical moment, he will do amazing things. Otherwise, why would so many courtiers be afraid of him?

For such a trivial matter, he must have a proper way.

After a while, Xu Jingchang put down the pamphlet, and Huang Gou hurried forward, "Mr. Dingguo, although I only know this bastard Qianhu, but he has commanders, governors, and people in the local area. They are intricately connected. , The power is huge, and it can affect the whole body, very difficult to deal with."

Huang Gou paused, and then said: "Even if we send people to seal the quarry, I'm afraid all we can catch are small fish and shrimp, and the real big fish have already left."

Xu Jingchang had a smile on his face, "What you said is all right, so this case must be handled on both sides. I will send Jin Yiwei down, but the rest will have to be made in the capital."

Huang Gou was shocked, "Mr. Dingguo, do you know that this matter is related to people in Beijing?"

Xu Jingchang shook his head with a smile, "I don't know who is behind it...but someone must know."

Xu Jingchang paused, thought for a while, and then said: "Anyway, I can't hide it for too long, Huang Shangshu, come with me to see someone."

Huang Guan immediately agreed, "Okay, hurry up and get someone to prepare the car."

"and many more."

Xu Jingchang stopped him, "No need, let's just walk around and be a car."

Xu Jingchang was in front, leading Huang Guan to a corner door under a wall, and after stepping in, it was Xu's mansion.

After returning to his home, Xu Jingchang called someone and gave him some instructions. Within an hour, Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han, hurried over. The prince was still beaded with sweat.

"My dear brother, you are in a hurry to find me, what's the matter?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, you sit down first."

Xu Jingchang pointed and asked him to sit by the pond, next to his own seat, with Huang Guan on the other side.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about him, he just said: "What's the matter, just say it, don't you lack money again? Or are you going to marry a wife? Just tell me how much you need."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "It's not urgent...I want to inquire about a person's account, you can check it for me."

Zhu Gaoxu was taken aback for a moment, then he shook his head decisively, "My dear brother, don't be joking, I can't do this?"

"really?"

"Really! Everything else is easy to talk about. This king will never compromise on this matter! There is no room for negotiation." Zhu Gaoxu added: "You also know that I rely on my reputation to collect deposits. If I give you the news in private , break the rules, and my business is over."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Then no one can check?"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, "You can't say that. In fact, if you want to investigate someone, you can write to the Ministry of Punishment. If you have clear evidence of the crime and the court's approval, I will definitely help you with all your strength. There is nothing to say."

Xu Jingchang laughed and said, "Your Highness, you are dishonest."

"Why am I dishonest?"

"If the Department of Penalties is waiting for the court's approval, why should I ask you? If that happens, the day lily will be cold."

Zhu Gaoxu said with a naive smile: "If not, you can tell your father to make an edict. If there is an edict, I will definitely obey it!"

"Bah!" Xu Jingchang sneered and said, "I'm not going to hide it from you. This case is very likely to involve people in the army. I found out the real evidence. It's one thing to hand it over to His Majesty. It's another thing to ask His Majesty to issue an order for a thorough investigation." One thing... I can't make it difficult for Your Majesty."

Zhu Gaoxu said with a dark face: "Then you make it difficult for me?"

"What's your problem? From Chizhou to Yingtian, selling stone materials is a big deal. It's impossible not to leave your bank."

Zhu Gaoxu said with a sullen face: "Although this is the case, I will never agree! I can't ruin the reputation of the bank, you should find another way, I'm sorry!"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Is there really no discussion?"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, "No! I will never compromise!"

Xu Jingchang said again: "Have you thought about it?"

Zhu Gaoxu snorted and said, "Let's put it this way, even if the trouble comes to the father, I will say the same thing, you can't bully me like this!"

Huang Guan was listening, and he was quite surprised. First, he was surprised that Zhu Gaoxu, the overlord of the Han Dynasty, was a little afraid of Xu Jingchang... Second, Huang Guan believed in Confucian businessmen, and believed that doing business should be based on credibility. Treating it as life, Xu Jingchang did this, obviously forcing Hanwang to smash his own signboard, no wonder Hanwang didn't agree.

But Huang Guan also knew in his heart that he was just here to listen, and it was not his turn to speak.

Sure enough, Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "Your Highness, are you sure you want to bring this matter to His Majesty? You collected a lot of inferior raw silk from ordinary farmers below, and mixed it into the silk for export, causing the silk purchased by the Shibo Department to Thirty percent of them are inferior products, do you want to talk about this?"

Zhu Gaoxu's face changed suddenly, "Well, this is sold overseas. I didn't take advantage of Daming, and the court didn't lose anything. The common people below also got benefits. It seems that I did nothing wrong!"

"It can damage the reputation of Made in Daming, I will never compromise on this matter! I will defend the brand made in Daming!"

Zhu Gaoxu was dumbfounded, "You, how did you imitate me?"

"Also, a certain person was crying poor all day long, but rented Annan's grain ship and delivered a lot of pots and pans, as well as kitchen knives and iron utensils. Do you want to talk about this?"

Zhu Gaoxu was even more surprised. He said angrily: "This matter has nothing to do with me. This is from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. It is for Annan. I am just a passing God of Wealth. How can you count it on my head?" After a while, Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "Father also knows about this matter, if you have the ability to poke it out!"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Really? But in the report of Li Kezhuang, the censor, I found out that some chieftains in Guangxi bought these kitchen knives and shovels, got them from the tribe, melted them into swords, and turned against the court. Do you know about this?"

Zhu Gaoxu was dumbfounded, he almost saw a ghost, why does this kid know everything?
"I, I just sell things. If those chieftains are willing to pay for it, there is nothing wrong with it falling into their hands."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Since His Highness the King of Han is so righteous, I will hand this matter over to the Procuratorate and let them investigate thoroughly. What do you think?"

Zhu Gaoxu's expression changed suddenly, "My dear brother, you, you can't harm me!"

Xu Jingchang laughed again and said, "Of course I won't harm my cousin. For example, you got a lot of Qinan from Annan Java and other places, as well as pearls the size of longan. You also bought a lot of land in Guangdong. It seems that To grow sugar cane... Don't worry, I won't say any of these things."

Zhu Gaoxu was speechless, Xu Jingchang knew all about his secret.

"You, you are my real brother!" Zhu Gaoxu said excitedly, "Although there was a little misunderstanding between us in the past, hasn't that been resolved long ago! You can't hurt me!"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "I won't harm you, but you can't hide the dirt either!"

Zhu Gaoxu froze for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Yes! It's about business reputation, I will never compromise... It's just that I can't do business with everyone."

"That's right!" Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "That's right, for example?"

"For example... people who take money and break the law!" Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth and said, "They steal the bones, make black-hearted money, corrupt the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and harm the people of the Ming Dynasty...I will never do business with such people."

Xu Jingchang smiled brightly, "That's right, but you're the owner of a bank, and you're not Jinyiwei, so you can't know everything. If you're cheated for a while, it doesn't matter. As long as you can correct your mistakes in time and cooperate with a thorough investigation, that's all. "

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned, nodded quickly and said: "It's natural, it's just that my brother intends to conduct a thorough investigation, or is it?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "There is no need to go to war, just cooperate with Jin Yiwei to investigate the case, and later you will say that someone has reported someone and presented real evidence, so you have to cooperate. Don't worry, Jin Yiwei is here. If the Criminal Department, the Inspectorate, Or other yamen want to investigate, how to do it, do you know?"

"Clear! I will never compromise!" Zhu Gaoxu nodded vigorously.

Xu Jingchang had a smile on his face, "Okay, it's time for cousin, you go and get things done, I'll cook later, and treat you to a good meal."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded again and again, "How else can we say that we are brothers!"

After saying a few more words, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly left.

Huang looked dumbfounded, and said after a long time, "It's really not easy to have a meal with Duke Ding!"

Xu Jingchang said hehe: "He deserves it, he was the one who caught Huang Liushou back then, right?"

Huang Guan sighed, "You can't say that, if he doesn't catch me, maybe I'll jump into the river and die."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "The six poems, do you think it was better to commit suicide and die for the country at the beginning, or is it better now?"

Huang Guan laughed loudly, "If you can live, who would want to die! Naturally, it's better to live, Duke Ding, you have been eating at my place for several days, can I bother you?"

Xu Jingchang was in a good mood, "Okay, quickly invite Mrs. Zun and the two daughters, and I will cook by myself."

Huang Guan smiled and nodded, "I'll go right away."
