My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 320 Zhu Zhanji Starts a Business

This is a successful meeting, an unprecedented meeting, and a meeting with many fruits... The courtiers of the emperor, together with the people from all walks of life, talked freely about the future of Ming Dynasty.

Discussed food security, judicial justice, education fairness... Your Majesty has truly heard the voice of the people, and made up his mind to relieve the people's worries, help the people, and solve practical difficulties.

"You all come and have a look."

Zhu Di pointed to his desk, on which were engraved with a knife a few large characters: food, justice, education.

The first time Xu Jingchang saw it, he lamented in his heart, a good golden nanmu table was ruined.Next time I go shopping in the palace, just get Zhu Di a rosewood one.

Good things are given to him, but they are also ruined, so they might as well be placed in Xu's mansion!

As for the other courtiers, they all frowned and sighed.

"What the people want and what the people care about, I can't be indifferent. As my confidants, you must do your best, and you can't be ambiguous."

Zhu Di stared at Xia Yuanji, and said, "What's the arrangement of the household department?"

Xia Yuanji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Finance has sent personnel overseas to prepare for the construction of overseas granaries. The Ministry of Accounting has allocated a special fund to purchase land."

Zhu Di nodded, and said again: "Then what if they don't sell it?"

"They will sell it!" Xia Yuanji said firmly.

Zhu Di frowned, and Xu Jingchang coughed lightly beside him: "Your Majesty, when they buy porcelain and silk from the Ming Dynasty, they must also be allowed to purchase land, balance the trade, and get what they need. They have no reason not to agree, and our envoys will properly communicate with them." Discuss in detail."

Zhu Di thought for a while, and finally understood what Xu Jingchang meant, and he was unwilling to open the door. Naturally, someone helped them figure out that Zheng He's fleet was not just for business.

"Well, that's very good!" Zhu Di was very satisfied. "As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he must be brave and martial, have the heart to forge ahead, and the ambition to overcome obstacles. The rest of the yamen must also learn from the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Xia Yuanji won a lottery.

Zhu Di then asked the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment.

"I will care about the things that the people care about. If the people can't stare at you, I will watch you. If there is any mistake, I will not be polite."

It can be heard that Zhu Di has spoken more confidently since he prided himself on being the emperor of the common people.

All the princes present, except for Xu Jingchang, all frowned and sighed.

Got fooled again.

And he was cheated!
In the past, officials always liked to use the banner of the people to persuade the emperor and plead for the people.

There is a mystery hidden in this, the officials and the people stand together, and it is the emperor who needs to be restrained.In this way, officials have sufficient legitimacy and can dictate.For the sake of the people, I am unscrupulous.

But now His Majesty has seized this commanding height, the emperor represents the people, supervises the officials, and forces the officials to do things.

This time it's like putting all the officials on fire.

Therefore, the courtiers need to restrain the emperor, but they also need to pretend to be powerful and boss around.

But now, the logic is undergoing complex changes. The status of the courtiers is different from the past. It is really hard to say how much there will be changes.

The big guy can only be careful, do things quickly, and don't let the emperor get caught.

The courtiers were busy, and the emperor had set targets for himself, and Xu Jingchang felt relieved all of a sudden.

Looking around the court, the most relaxed thing is his General Secretary.

Obviously, some people didn't want to let Xu Jingchang relax, for example, Zhu Zhanji came to him.

"Cousin, you want to help me."

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids, and said helplessly, "What are you going to do? Do you think you can't learn it, or are you unable to understand the writing?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "No, it's the emperor's grandfather who asked me, as a grandson, what can I do to benefit the people?"

"and then?"

"Then I told Grandpa Huang that the common people should be able to eat meat."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "That's right. Being able to wear clothes and eat meat is also the way of kingship in a prosperous age in the eyes of sages. This answer is very good."

"What the hell!" Zhu Zhanji cried, "That's all I said. I thought I'd have to be the emperor to talk about everything. But I don't know, Grandpa Huang settled a deal with me."

Xu Jingchang was very surprised, "Your Majesty can still settle accounts? How did he do it?"

"The emperor said that the household registration of the Ming Dynasty was registered, and there were 6000 million people. If these 6000 million people can eat meat, they have to raise millions of big fat pigs. He said, let me start now, if If you can't do it well, then..."

"What?"

"Just find another grandson of the emperor." Zhu Zhanji looked at Xu Jingchang bitterly, "Cousin, you have to help me! In my heart, you are my real father! We have the deepest relationship... "

"okay!"

Xu Jingchang stopped Zhu Zhanji in a hurry, but he couldn't let the kid talk nonsense.

"Let's analyze it. If you want to raise so many dolphins, you need space, labor, and fodder...I guess you can't even raise a thousand dolphins. It's useless!"

Zhu Zhanji grinned wildly, "Cousin, you can't just ignore death, cousin, I'll point at you!"

"Okay, stop arguing."

Xu Jingchang said: "You have to use your brain. I have taught you for so many years, but you still don't make progress. Your Majesty wants the common people to eat more meat, but he didn't say what kind of meat it is. The standard is in our hands."

Zhu Zhanji was dumbfounded, and looked at Xu Jingchang, "No... Uncle, how is the meat different? Ribs, pork belly?"

"Confused!" Xu Jingchang said, "Let me ask you, does fish count as meat?"

Zhu Zhanji widened his eyes and thought for a while, "Should it be counted?"

"What about chickens and ducks? Does it count?"

"It should count too."

"What about eggs and duck eggs?"

"Also."

"What about the vegetarian chicken and vegetarian meat?"

"Forget it...forget it!" Zhu Zhanji shook his head quickly, "Cousin, don't go too far! If vegetarian chicken is also considered chicken, then soy sauce is also oil. You are confusing black and white!"

Xu Jingchang blushed slightly, "Vegetarian chicken is not counted, the first few are counted... We need to work hard now. First of all, you have to figure out which kind of meat has the highest yield rate."

"Meat production rate?" Zhu Zhanji asked curiously: "After killing, how much meat can be produced?"

"This is only one aspect. It also depends on how much feed is fed and how long it takes to slaughter." Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "As long as His Highness can study and understand these things, it is enough to explain to His Majesty."

Zhu Zhanji nodded again and again, "Cousin, are you familiar with it?"

Xu Jingchang said: "I can't talk about it, I just raised stuffed ducks, you know that!"

Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Cousin, you are too insidious!"

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes in anger, this bastard is really outrageous, I shouldn't fucking care about you, it's best to let Zhu Di abolish you!
Zhu Zhanji doesn't care about anything, let's do it quickly.

He directly expropriated a manor outside the city.

As far as the eye can see, many roses and camellias have been planted, and they are blooming colorfully, which is really beautiful.

However, as soon as Zhu Zhanji came, he said directly: "I shovel them all, and don't leave a single plant!"

Those in charge were terrified, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess asked me to plant these. In a few days, I will come down with Your Highness to enjoy the flowers!"

"So it's my mother? No matter what! The Tian family doesn't allow these fancy things, and I shoveled them all. Don't worry, my mother will definitely like what I do."

Zhu Zhanji forced these people to shovel all the flowers in his eyes... I have to say, he is really a filial son.

Then Zhu Zhanji ordered to invite the artisans who raised ducks in Xu's mansion to come over and get busy in this royal manor.

But on this day, the Crown Princess Zhang invited Empress Xu to enjoy the flowers outside the city, and Empress Xu called Huang Yunfang, and even Xu Xianzhong came out.

The little guy is chubby, with a big head, almost like a two-headed toy. Empress Xu hugged Xu Xianzhong and was reluctant to let go.

"Hurry up and grow up. When you grow up, you will be able to assist your grandson. The Zhu and Xu families support each other from generation to generation. It is the best thing for the father to be the same forever."

Xu Xianzhong obviously couldn't understand this, his black eyes rolled around, and suddenly he saw a group of big geese in the distance, and this kid regained his spirits.

In Empress Xu's arms, he chrysalis vigorously, "Catch, I want to catch!"

Empress Xu had no choice but to let go, Xu Xianzhong's legs fell to the ground, and he rushed forward screaming.

The big goose can be called a bully-level existence. For children, it is simply a nightmare, but it is obvious that little friend Xu is not among them... When he would leave, he would chase the peacock, and now chasing the big goose is no problem.

Another big gander stretched its neck and made a hissing sound, obviously dissatisfied.

Just as the goose lowered its head and stretched its neck, it rushed over. Before it knew what was going on, it was strangled by someone, and then it was shaken vigorously, and the goose fell out.

After getting up, I was dizzy, and my confused eyes seemed to be asking who I am, where I am, and I'm fucking hell!
Xu Xianzhong was even more excited, and bravely rushed forward at the pace of chasing death and chasing north...wherever he went, he perfectly interpreted what it means to be restless.

Empress Xu admired it quite a bit, this kid is a bit interesting!

It's just that the face of the Crown Princess Zhang's face turned black, what's going on?

Am I in the right place?
Where are my camellias?

And roses, peonies, where are they?

At this time Zhu Zhanji came out from inside, with sweat on his forehead, chicken feces stained beside his satin boots, panting.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Shi asked.

"No, no, I just raised some poultry and livestock." Zhu Zhanji replied obediently.

"What about the flowers I planted? Where did they go? Did you throw them away?"

"How come! I won't waste things." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "I put all those flowers, branches and leaves in the pond to fertilize."

"Fert?" Mrs. Zhang still didn't understand.

"It's just piled up with the feces of chickens, ducks and geese. After a while, it can be scattered on the ground. The food grown can be used as feed to feed more chickens and ducks... Mom, do you think I'm smart? ?” Zhu Zhanji introduced happily.

Where did she notice that Mrs. Zhang was furious, and the flowers she had worked so hard to grow were all harmed by this naughty son.

"Zhu Zhanji, you, you burn the piano and cook the crane, you are so annoying!"

Speaking of Mrs. Zhang rushing over, he was about to beat Zhu Zhanji hard... Zhu Zhanji ran away in fright. He knew that his old lady couldn't do anything wrong, so he circled around Empress Xu.

"Mother, you can't hit me. This is all done by the emperor. He asked me to do something that benefits the country and the people. If I don't do it, it's fine. My crown prince... I can't be the crown prince, and you can't be the queen mother when you are old. This is for your own good, baby!"

"You talk nonsense... Even if you are abolished as an unfilial thing, I still have several sons!" Mrs. Zhang was really angry, and she couldn't choose what to say.

Empress Xu saw it, so she waved her hand and stopped them.

"Stop arguing, Zhu Zhanji, what are you making such a fuss about?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Grandmother, you are wrong. I am not tossing around, I have gone out of my way."

"What doorway?"

"I found that with the same feed, it is easier for poultry to grow meat. The slowest meat grower is cattle. The fastest meat grower is chicken."

Empress Xu was puzzled, "What is this?"

"Grandmother, you still don't understand such a big discovery!" Zhu Zhanji said triumphantly, "That means, if you raise chickens, you can use the same feed to get more meat...you know , Mencius said that common people eat meat in fifty clothes, but he didn’t say anything about meat, chicken is also meat!”

"I also plan to dig a fish pond and put some fish in it to see if the fish grows fast..." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "If I figure it out, I will figure out how to make the common people eat more meat." Isn’t it the Mingjun and the Holy Lord?”

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she gave Zhu Zhanji a vicious look, "What kind of emperor and lord? Burning pianos and cooking cranes, you are as stupid as Jie and Zhou."

Zhu Zhanji pursed his lips and didn't argue with the angry old lady.

It was Empress Xu, she thought about it seriously, and then asked: "Grandson, are you really sure about this matter?"

"No!" Zhu Zhanji said honestly: "I have spent all the money in my hand. To study such a big thing, I need a lot of money, unless I can get my father to give me my new year's money."

Empress Xu smiled, "It's just New Year's money. If you can do this well, I'll give you the money."

"The imperial grandmother is willing to give money?"

"Hmm!" Empress Xu laughed and said, "Since it's something that benefits the country and the people, I can't turn a blind eye to it. How about this, I'll give you 20 taels first, do you think it's enough?"

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, and then said: "The initial investment is almost the same, and I don't know how much will be spent later."

Empress Xu smiled and said, "No matter how much it is, just look for me."

Zhu Zhanji happily agreed.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Empress Xu, feeling aggrieved, "Mother, don't spoil this kid, he's messing around."

Empress Xu shook her head. At this moment, Xu Xianzhong ran over dragging a goose about his age.The little guy grabbed the goose's neck tightly, and shouted as he ran, "Stew, stew and eat!"

When he ran in front of everyone, the goose's neck was already at a strange angle, and this big goose weighing about ten kilograms was not far from death.Huang Yunfang saw it, and she really wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in... Son, don't embarrass your father!

Empress Xu, on the other hand, was quite satisfied.

"Good boy, what a warrior!" Empress Xu glared at Zhu Zhanji, "Hurry up and stew the goose. Listen, you can only get the money after serving us well, otherwise I won't give it to you for nothing."
