My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 52

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he announced his withdrawal from the court and ended the imperial meeting.

Xu Jingchang gained power, and he also won the Marquis of Jingnan by the way. It can be said that it was a small test, and he won a good start.

Regardless of what happened to Qiu Fu before, Zhu Di recovered the official money and beat him severely, but after all, it was in private and cannot be put on the table.

Zhu Di did not dare to take lightly the hero who fought the world for him.

And in the final analysis, Zhu Di, who relies on Jing to get to the top, is far worse than his father's prestige.

So relatively speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang is more willing to rectify the interior, while Zhu Di is more inclined to use troops abroad.

Wang Zhong was sent to prison this time, although it was only a short three months, but it was also a precedent.The hero of Jing Nan is not so unshakable, and it is Xu Jingchang, who is not yet 16 years old, who successfully achieved this feat.

Above the court, the civil officials are all honored, and they are all shocked.

The way she looked at him was unusual.

But for Xu Jingchang, it's just a small trial, what is this, I have more powerful ones behind!
"My lords, I would like to give you a word of advice. If you want to live this year in peace and stability, you must restrain your family members and manage them well. Otherwise, if something happens, no one will look good. If you are unfortunately sent to If there are more people in the prison than outside, that’s not good.”

After Xu Jingchang finished speaking, he swaggered away.

The officials looked at each other, is he threatening us?
This kid dares to threaten us!

How about we unite, sue him, and let him know how powerful we are!
This group of people look at me and I look at you. Before they could speak, Xia Yuanji suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, singing loudly, "There are birds in the southern mountains, and the northern mountains are scattered. Birds fly high, Luo Dannai!"

Xia Yuanji sang three times in one breath, and then he went on complacently, quite happy to have avenged his revenge.

A bunch of blind fools, you think I, Lao Xia, are your opponents, but you don't know that brat Xu Jingchang is your nemesis.Well now, the Secretary of General Administration has obtained the military power and can collect taxes, and you may have forgotten that Xu Jingchang still holds the power of the Dibao in his hands, and he can use the Secretary of General Administration to supervise the progress of administration in various yamen.

The combination of these several authorities, in terms of threat level, is definitely above the household department. You are digging a grave for yourself, and it depends on how you are buried.

The officials looked at each other, and the big guy also felt that something was wrong, but unfortunately, it was too late.

First of all, on the side of Xungui, they left one after another, full of resentment, because these civil servants are troubled, if you hadn't impeached Wang Zhong, His Majesty would not have listened to Xu Jingchang.

Let's read the libretto on a donkey, and we'll see.

The nobles returned home one after another, and many of them really followed Xu Jingchang's warning, asking their relatives and servants to be honest, so that no accidents would happen, and they would not fall into Xu Jingchang's hands.

Even if he survived by luck, he would be ashamed for the rest of his life if he had a New Year's Eve dinner in the prison.

The big guys dispersed, and Xu Jingchang also returned to the office of the General Secretary, waiting here alone.

Fatty Zhu blushed slightly, looking a little embarrassed and ashamed.

"I've been here, but you're not here, only Master Yao said a few words to me, asking me to wait and see what happens."

Xu Jingchang looked at Zhu Gaochi who seemed to have made a big mistake, and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Highness, since you are here, I would like to ask you to run an errand for me."

Zhu Gaochi was startled, and hurriedly said: "Your brother, command."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "You go to the Ministry of Households now, see Xia Yuanji, and say that the Secretary of General Administration will collect commercial tax next time. If he has any suggestions and requirements, we will honestly follow them. If there are any cases that are too late to deal with, we are also willing to undertake them." , complete it for the household department."

Zhu Gaochi meditated silently, and after a while, he seemed to understand and nodded.

During Zhu Di's four-year campaign, Zhu Gaochi was in charge of housekeeping. In addition to guarding Beiping, he also had to prepare food and supplies to solve logistical problems.Zhu Gaochi, who is not very old, is already a master of internal affairs, with adept experience.

In fact, he was called by Xia Yuanji, not because the big fat man lacks brains, but in the past few years, what he has honed is to be a problem solver.

When something goes wrong, fix it.

But the way of playing in the court is different. It is too difficult to solve the problem. It is more convenient to solve the person who raised the problem first.

So Xu Jingchang sensed the problem immediately, and decisively attacked Xia Yuanji.

The two can't talk about who is higher and who is lower, they just have different ideas.

At this time, let Zhu Gaochi pass by, just to let the fat man feel what it means to be strong and weak, and what is my advantage!

It's Xia Yuanji's turn to ask us, you take care of that fox, don't let him go.

Zhu Gaochi knew it well, and he was even more grateful to his cousin.

He hurried to the household department, about an hour later, Zhu Gaochi returned, his face was full of joy, he sat down opposite Xu Jingchang, and took out a booklet from his sleeve.

"It was given to me by Xia Shangshu. Let me pass it on to you. Cousin can decide for himself who to attack."

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Have you seen it, Your Highness?"

"No!" Zhu Gaochi said decisively: "Xia Shangshu asked me to read it, but I didn't agree. Father just asked me to observe politics. I really shouldn't be troublesome. I have made a mistake once, and I definitely can't make a second mistake."

Xu Jingchang couldn't help laughing, "Your Highness is indeed cautious, but it's just such a good opportunity to stand up, and His Highness just missed it?"

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "I don't need any prestige. To be honest, I have also planned. The government is too complicated, and I also want to go fishing and listen to music. Take it easy."

"Then His Highness should teach the emperor's grandson well, his son Jackie Chan, and being a father is a good way to breathe, don't you think?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded quickly, "Cousin is so right, I will arrange a famous teacher for that kid later, teach him well, and never let him slack off in the slightest."

Well, Black Boy's nightmare has begun.

Xu Jingchang has always kept his promise, especially when dealing with children, he can't break his promise.

Even if there are no difficulties, difficulties must be created.

Zhu Gaochi was talking, but his eyes were fixed on the pamphlet. Xu Jingchang saw it in his eyes and knew it well. Although the fat man couldn't help but not read it, everyone has curiosity.

For revenge, Xia Yuanji is definitely making a fuss.

Just ask if you dare to do it?

Xu Jingchang didn't make any waves, unlike others who worried about things being too small, he wished that the bigger the better, the kind that could pierce the sky, otherwise, wouldn't it be too boring to make small troubles!

"Then let me see how many mysteries Xia Yuanji has mastered."

He unfolded it casually, and after reading a few pages, Xu Jingchang frowned immediately, and after a while, he couldn't help laughing.

"This old Xia is really good at scheming. He actually revealed his family's ugliness. This is asking me to help him eradicate dissidents!"

Zhu Gaochi was puzzled, "Cousin, what is it?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "That's right. Yu Xin, the former Minister of the Household Department, once suggested that the products of different regions are different, and rice is generally expropriated for autumn grain. He suggested that two stones of millet, millet, and buckwheat can be used to make one stone of rice, and the imperial court normally collects it. "

Zhu Gaochi nodded subconsciously, "This is a good way to benefit the country and the people. Yu Xin's arrangement is very thoughtful."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Yes, but it has changed since the introduction of commercial tax. There is no need to pay taxes to send grain to the court. If two shi of miscellaneous grains are replaced by two shi of rice, transported to the capital, and handed over to Taicang for one shi, the remaining It can be sold in the market for the next shi. Although the tax rate of grain is only [-] tax one, but it can save a little bit. And the amount of grain is so large, this is not a small amount of money."

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a while before he finally understood, but he couldn't help but sigh, "These people have racked their brains for the benefit of wealth. If they could devote half their attention to state affairs, the Ming Dynasty would have ruled the world long ago."

After sighing, Fatty Zhu said: "My dear brother, what are you going to do? Are you going to take Yu Xin down?"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "I won Yu Xin, didn't I fulfill Xia Yuanji's intentions."

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback, "My dear brother, aren't you comrade Xia Shangshu? This time you are also going to help him out."

Xu Jingchang chuckled, "Your Highness, I really want to help Xia Yuanji, but it's not the same as what he thinks. Would you like to go with me to see the fun, Your Highness?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

Xu Jingchang also stood up, "Order Zhu Yong to order 800 people, follow me directly to the Ministry of Household Affairs!"

This time even Zhu Gaochi was confused, why did he go to the household department?
Why is Xu Jingchang a dog? Xia Yuanji has helped you so much, why are you still attacking the household department?
Xu Jingchang didn't care about this, he led people murderously, went straight to the household department, and when he got outside, he ordered to block it, and then he led people in, "seize all accounts, related to Lianghuai, Shandong, Huguang, Jiangxi, and the four provinces. , all are sealed up and must not be mistaken."

Xia Yuanji was dumbfounded when he heard the news. Everyone knew that Xu Jingchang couldn't speculate with common sense, but you can't be so unreasonable either!

"Comrade, comrade, is this how you treat comrades?" Xia Yuanji was furious.

Xu Jingchang waved his hands again and again, "Don't worry, Mr. Xia, you have to be strong when you forge iron. I'm here to help you clean up the moths." Xu Jingchang lowered his voice and leaned into Xia Yuanji's ear, "Who are Yu Xin's old department, tell me quickly, I'm here to help you clear the door."
