My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 292
After dismissing Jian Yi, Xu Jingchang began to lower his head and think... the six departments and nine ministers were basically mobilized by him. The prince is still in Jiangxi, and now there is only one person left. He must find something to do.

When he gets busy, he can sit back and relax.

And this person is Zhu Di!
"Hu Shidu, this is my son."

Xu Jingchang pointed to a little Douding who was wearing crotch pants and was chasing a peacock, with a kind smile on his face.

Seeing this, Hu Yan couldn't help grinning... Unexpectedly, there was an accident... When many people were staring at the child, the young master of the Xu family showed signs of returning to his ancestors.

These words are not curses, but that he is too skinny, his body is as strong as a calf, and he hardly gets sick. When he runs outside in cold weather, and the servants who serve him are sick, he is fine.

And when he was catching Zhou, this kid didn't like anything, he just grabbed a wooden sword.

This made Zhu Di and Empress Xu very happy, saying that the Xu family was about to produce another natural general.

Xu Jingchang doesn't think so. He thinks it is necessary to teach his son well. Our old Xu's family is all brains, and we have to leave things to others.

"Hu Shidu, come here more when you have time, and get acquainted with this kid... Don't worry, if he doesn't obey, you can just beat him, you don't have to be polite."

Hu Mi nodded, but his heart was bitter again. Seeing the young man grabbing the peacock's tail and wrestling with it, it made him jump like a dog.

He subconsciously stroked his beard, feeling that the future would not be easy.

However, Hu Wei is also a little happy. The so-called opening thousands of miles is not as good as Qingtian escort... No matter how many things you do by yourself, it is better to serve the young master of Shangfeng's family.

If you really teach this child well, your own future will be safe.

Thinking of this, Hu Wei was motivated and vowed to be a good teacher.

There was really nothing to talk about with a little doll who was still staggering while running, just to get acquainted, and then Hu Yan followed Xu Jingchang to the study.

Xu Jingchang asked casually: "What big projects are there in the capital now, the ones that can show off their achievements and show off?"

Hu Wei thought for a while, "Mr. Ding, if you want to say that there are too big ones... But there are also some big places that have just been completed, such as the vegetable market outside Jubaomen, and the rebuilt Guozijian. Schools, Xiaguan Wharf, grain warehouses, etc.”

Xu Jingchang said again: "Then there are temples?"

"Yes, after the establishment of the Ancestral Hall of the Martyrs in Beiping, Ying Tian also established the Pantheon, and also rebuilt the Confucian Temple, which increased the weight of various schools of thought."

Xu Jingchang was overjoyed, "That's enough. By the way, how is Hu Shi's writing style?"

Hu Wei was very ashamed, "Mr. Dingguo, I have read some books, and I was lucky enough to be selected into the Imperial Academy, but when it comes to writing things, I am always inferior to Xie Shishi and others, even Yang Canyu. , I am not qualified to come to the General Administration Department."

Xu Jingchang laughed loudly, "This is what I want... You must remember to draw up a few speeches later. You are not allowed to ask someone to write for you, and you are not allowed to polish it. It is your level. Just hand it over to me within three days."

What else did Hu Ming want to say, Xu Jingchang had already picked up the teacup, Hu Ming still understood, so he left quickly.

When I got home, I started writing without daring to delay for a moment.

In fact, Hu Wei is being modest. His writing style is not as good as that of Xie Jin and Yang Pu, but the people who can be selected into the Imperial Academy are the top ones in the country, so how can they be inferior!

And from Xu Jingchang's point of view, you don't need to be very good at writing, you just need to be approachable, that is, everyone can understand it. When he saw the newspaper on the table, he immediately grabbed it, looked carefully, and got a clue in his heart.

Just follow this!

Three days later, Hu Wei took several articles and handed them to Xu Jingchang.

Xu Jingchang looked at it, and immediately smiled, "That's right, Hu Shi's pen is really good. But I'll remind you of a little trick."

"What technique?"

Xu Jingchang said: "For one matter, at least three manuscripts must be prepared, and they must have different styles and different emphases. Do you understand?"

Hu Wei was surprised, what else did he say?
He said bitterly: "Mr. Ding, in fact, I have written five copies, and I will choose the one I like the most and give it to you."

Xu Jingchang was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile, "Remember, don't choose by yourself next time."

"The lower official understands that the lower official must let Duke Ding choose."

Xu Jingchang said again: "If I had to choose everything, wouldn't I be very tired, why would I need you?"

Hu Yi was stunned again, what kind of way is this Dingguogong?

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "It's neither your own decision, nor can you push everything to the higher-ups... You want Shangfeng to think that he can make the decision, but in fact, you have already decided what he makes the decision. Do you understand? ?”

Hu Wei became more and more astonished, and the words of Duke Ding became more and more difficult to understand.

"Xiaguan, I don't understand it for a while, but I will think hard and try to understand it as soon as possible."

Xu Jingchang smiled, then took Hu Wei's manuscript, got into the carriage, and went directly to Qianqing Palace.

Seeing him coming, Zhu Di was quite happy, "I just said something about the government affairs of the court, and it's settled so soon?"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "It's not so fast yet... Some things are still controversial. For example, the court should provide relief to the victims of disasters, but should relief be needed for the sick people?"

Zhu Di frowned, "It's really pitiful to be sick, if you can save it, you have to save it."

Xu Jingchang spread his hands, "Your Majesty, healing is a bottomless pit, not to mention that there are not so many doctors in the world, what should I do if a quack doctor kills me?"

"This...then it won't help."

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if there are some plagues, thousands of them, across states and counties?"

Zhu Di frowned, and snorted, "I asked you if you want to take care of it, but now you're giving me a problem, what's going on with you?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, governing the country is not a matter of a day or two, and the responsibilities of the court cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences. Let the courtiers be busy first, and there is one thing here. Next year, Your Majesty It has only been five years since he ascended the throne. Shouldn't it be a summary and an inventory of the results, especially for many achievements, from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, and make a detailed inventory. Then tell the world and comfort Taizu emperor."

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately became interested. This proposal is very good, and it completely suits his appetite.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, there is still some time. Great achievements, such as pacifying Annan, defeating Oara, regaining Monan, opening up Liaodong... these things are not in a hurry. Maybe next year, there are more things that can be said. Now the minister The meaning is to focus on the people's livelihood and economy, and see the big from the small. For example, the largest silk workshop in Yingtian, the newly built Xiaguan Wharf, the reconstruction of the Imperial College, and the outer city of Yingtian... Your Majesty has done too many things to benefit the common people and the people Inscription five. I mean, would your majesty want to visit these places, and contact the people to learn about the latest situation of people's livelihood."

Xu Jingchang added: "I'm not saying that your Majesty is not good at people's livelihood, it's just that the Ming Dynasty is changing with each passing day, and there are great changes, so your Majesty has to keep up with it."

Zhu Di pondered for a while, and then said: "I have seen the workshop of the third child. I also saw a lot in Beiping a while ago. It is true that it is different from the past."

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and every move affects all parties. In the past, every spring, the emperor and the queen would personally cultivate and reel silk, and persuade farmers to teach mulberry. Now the foundation of Ming Dynasty is not just farming. Sang, including industry and commerce, His Majesty should visit more often to boost morale and people’s hearts. Wouldn’t it be great to show that the court values ​​them?”

Zhu Di was completely moved when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing: "You, it really is a ghostly idea. In the past, I wanted to go out and have a look, but the courtiers tried to stop me. This time, I want to see, who is it?" Can you stop it?"

Xu Jingchang handed a list to Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, this is the key projects related to people's livelihood and economy that I have just sorted out. Your Majesty can choose from them, or you can search for them again, as long as you inform King Zhao before making a decision."

"Third? Where do I go and listen to him?"

"No, don't get me wrong, Your Majesty, it's for King Zhao to prepare, arrange a pen, and write what His Majesty needs."

Zhu Di let out a long breath, "Okay, I know what's in my heart."

Xu Jingchang then left, and when he left, Zhu Di became restless.

This time I can leave the palace openly!

Hurry up and call your wife, the couple can go out to relax together.

Zhu Di was simply too satisfied. Xu Jingchang is getting more and more good at handling affairs, and he is really a worthy minister of the country.

Xu Jingchang was also very satisfied when he came out of the palace. Now he has a dozen locations in his hand...Even one in three days can keep Zhu Di busy for a month.

That is to say, within one month, our Emperor Yongle will be applauded, bowed down, and the Ming Dynasty is changing with each passing day, developing rapidly... Then he will be satisfied and happy.

Then for myself, I can smoothly control the court situation, do whatever I like, and do what I like.

After thinking about it, Xu Jingchang decided to call his old father-in-law over.

Huang Guandao: "What kind of idea does Ding Guogong have, he actually found me?"

Xu Jingchang said: "That old Mount Tai, are you going to Qinhuai River?"

Huang Guan took a sip of tea and almost spit it out, "Can you say that!"

Xu Jingchang said: "That's not what I meant. Actually, I've thought about it over and over again... In the most benevolent place in the capital, there is a world-famous Qinhuai River. It has got so many women, ruined youth, and wasted ambition. It's really not a glorious thing. .”

Huang Guan collected himself and asked curiously, "Are you going to close the Qinhuai River?"

"No, no, no." Xu Jingchang said, "I've never thought about it that way... I mean, are there operas everywhere? For example, Kunqu Opera, Fengyang Huagu, Henan Opera, and folk wooden drums in Beiping. Book."

Huang Guandao: "You mean to get these to the Qinhuai River?"

"That's right, the prosperous Ming Dynasty should also have some elegant embellishments, so that everyone can have fun together, and enjoy both refined and popular tastes, don't you think?"

Huang Guan thought for a while, then smiled and said: "It's wonderful, it's really wonderful! I agree! No, no, it's the full support of the Ministry of Rites!" Huang Guan clapped his hands and laughed, "From now on, can we go to the Qinhuai River in an open and honest manner? gone?"

Xu Jingchang was startled, and subconsciously said, "Have you ever sneaked there before?"
