My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 88
Li Jinglong was particularly wronged by the beating. If he swung such a thick door bolt on his body, he could beat it into beef balls if he replaced it with a fragile one.

Who did he offend? It doesn't make sense at all?

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Your Highness, are you still afraid of Cao Guogong at this time?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of Cao Guogong, what is there to be afraid of, cousin, I can warn you, don't do this next time. It's not good, it's not good to hurt relatives. "

Xu Jingchang snorted, "Your Highness is not afraid of Cao Guogong, so why do you want to eat Haisai so hard?"

Li Jinglong was stunned for a long time, as if he understood something?
He was so frightened that he fell to his knees, and quickly said: "Your Highness, I don't mean to offend, I beg Your Highness to forgive me, please forgive me!"

Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath, Jing Nan four years, especially Li Jinglong's soldiers surrounded Beiping, almost conquered the city defense, life and death, caused serious injury to Zhu Gaochi, but there is no doctor who treats mental illness, so Zhu Gaochi fell into binge drinking The root cause of binge eating.

Even though he tried his best, it became difficult to control his weight.

However, after beating Li Jinglong with more than a dozen sticks and opening the sack, Zhu Gaochi felt an inexplicable sense of refreshment.

After all, we won!

Not only his father, but also himself, his fate has completely changed. He is now the crown prince of Daming, the future emperor, the person who made him panic, is kneeling at his feet, begging for his pardon... The past is like smoke, Maybe it's over.

He took a deep breath first, then let it out slowly, then leaned over and pulled Li Jinglong up.

"Cao Guogong, don't mention the past. We are both relatives and courtiers of the father. In the future, we need to take care of each other and support each other. We are as close as possible."

Li Jinglong hurriedly thanked him, but he realized that he had frightened the prince, his heart was pounding so hard that it almost jumped out of his throat.

It was very difficult for him to change Zhu Di's attitude, and he was lucky enough to save his life.

If you offend the prince, you will be liquidated in the future, won't you still be unable to escape!

Thinking of this, today's beating was worth it.

It doesn't matter how many times heavier.

Xu Tongzheng is such a good man!
After receiving a fat beating, he can still be so calm, there is nothing to say.

"Since the two of you have resolved your knots, you can have a meal with me and have a good chat."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "I want to eat my brother's craftsmanship."

Xu Jingchang nodded, "Okay, I've thought about a few more dishes, let's chat while eating."

Sitting at the wine table, Li Jinglong thanked him again and again, saying that he would definitely invite Xu Jingchang later, and thank him for his great lack...a great kindness and a great virtue...

Zhu Gaochi, who got rid of the nightmare, is much more confident than in the past. He said directly: "My dear brother, the father set off a big prison this time, and the killing was too heavy. Jin Yiwei went out again and arrested them wantonly. People are in panic. I I want to advise my father, what do you think should I do?"

Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "What is your highness admonishing? Do you want to tell your majesty that what you are doing is wrong and the country should not be governed in this way? Could it be that your highness wants to replace him?"

Zhu Gaochi was so frightened that his hands trembled and he spilled all the wine.

"My dear brother, you know that I don't have such thoughts, why are you scaring me?"

Xu Jingchang said: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek his own government. Even if Your Highness is the crown prince, it is not your turn to dictate... If you want to persuade the emperor, there are six departments, there are inspectors, and there are six ministries and nine officials. You don't want to be in trouble, but you just rushed to the front to bear His Majesty's thunderous wrath, aren't you asking for trouble for yourself?"

"Then, what should I do, Prince?"

Xu Jingchang said: "His Highness can provide all support except help."

Zhu Gaochi didn't react for a while, and after a while, he couldn't help humming: "If you don't care, just say it doesn't matter, I understand."

"Wrong!" Xu Jingchang said, "It's not that His Highness doesn't care, but that he can't, can't."

"Is there any difference?"

"Of course." Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "You always have to express some kindness and care. Let those courtiers have a thought and a beautiful vision. If they are completely desperate for His Highness, they may think of other things. There is a solution. Your Highness must avoid this situation."

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but shivered, and hurriedly said, "What do you mean by cousin?"

"It's very simple. Ask Your Majesty to add a few more prince masters, have a sutra feast, and listen to lectures. Or worship the heavens and cultivate blessings, and hold a blessing ceremony."

Zhu Gaochi smiled helplessly, "Why are you all pragmatic?"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Chu Jun wants to be pragmatic, is he planning to accumulate grass and store food, or is he raising the flag to rebel?"

Zhu Gaochi was speechless again.

So I can't get involved in the case in front of me.

"Cousin, for the same thing, I asked Young Master Yao why he only said let nature take its course... After thinking about it, he meant to go with the flow and follow the court's situation, but he also meant to follow the moral character... I think he was hoping I sheltered a few people."

Zhu Gaochi asked curiously: "You and Master Yao often play chess, who is better between you two?"

Xu Jingchang said: "When it comes to strategy, Master Yao is naturally better. It's just that he is thinking about the court situation in his heart, and wants to assist His Majesty to have a prosperous age of eternal joy... Actually, I know that in Master Yao's heart, he doesn't want to be regarded as an instigator. Difficulty, the demon monk who assisted the vassal king in seizing the country. He has the heart of a famous minister, so he will naturally send it to Jun Yao and Shun."

Zhu Gaochi nodded again, but asked curiously: "My dear brother, don't you want to send your name to Jun Yaoshun and go down in history?"

"No!" Xu Jingchang replied very simply.

Zhu Gaochi was very surprised, "Your brother is so indifferent to fame and wealth?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "It's not that I'm indifferent to fame and fortune. As long as I think that wise rulers and virtuous ministers are too rare, it's even more difficult to get together to achieve prosperity. I haven't done anything decent in the past few days in the General Secretary matter."

Li Jinglong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "But you have caused chaos in the world, and everyone is in danger. Just ask the entire officialdom, civil and military courtiers, who dare not respect Xu Tongzheng three points?"

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes, well, I reluctantly admit that there is such a small achievement.

And I'm about to make more noises!
"Your Highness, the local wealthy families have already set their sights on the people in the disaster area. Just relying on killing can only solve the temporary problem. Sooner or later, the court will not be able to take care of them, and they will annex the people's fields."

Zhu Gaochi was a little stunned. In fact, he is more familiar with this situation than Xu Jingchang... Zhu Yuanzhang came here in those years. The emperor Taizu punished corrupt officials and harvested wealthy families over and over again. Every time it grows savagely, and every time it becomes more powerful.

"Does my brother have any clever ideas?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Your Highness, do you still remember what I told you about changing rice into mulberry? Instead of leaving it to the gentry, why don't we advance..."

"Disaster?" Zhu Gaochi snorted, "My dear brother, if you think about these things in a wrong way, I will tell the queen mother and let her spank your ass."

Scaring me with my aunt again?
I'm not a three year old.

"Your Highness, wantonly exploiting the common people, is doing bad things. But if the common people earn more money, make their lives better and better, is that also exploiting the common people?"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head, "Of course it doesn't count, but what do you have to do to do it?"

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Highness, you forgot what I told you, let the King of Han rush to the front... We just need to supervise the King of Han and let him sign a contract with the people that is beneficial to the people, that's all."

After all, Zhu Gaoxu was the last one to be taken advantage of.

All the people affected by the disaster can get a loan of [-] guan banknotes per household to survive the disaster year.

This loan does not require interest, but more than [-]% of the land in the family must be replanted with mulberry trees, and the silk produced will be handed over in full.

All the people who replanted mulberry trees will still pay taxes according to the rice fields within three years, and they can pay taxes with precious notes...

On the side of the King of Han, we must provide loans to the common people and provide mulberry seedlings.Assist the common people in planting mulberry, and ensure that the raw silk is purchased at the market price, and it is not allowed to reject it, nor can it lower the price.

On the court side, it is necessary to provide convenience, ensure sufficient food supply, provide enough looms, and assist in the establishment of silk workshops.And promised that the Shibo Department will buy silk, goods and western goods at a price [-]% higher than the market price.

Xu Jingchang was conscientious, coordinating with all parties, going back and forth, and confiding with everyone... The big guy has never seen such a diligent Xu Tongzheng.

Don't play chess, don't chat, and just focus on government affairs. Could it be that there is something wrong with our eyes?

Just when everyone was puzzled, Xu Jingchang finally completed this set of things.

"From now on, I can live a leisurely life of listening to music on the Qinhuai River and fishing in Xuanwu Lake." Xu Jingchang laughed from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Di has done a lot of great things, the most important and the most heart-wrenching is the voyage to the West... He has already embarked on the right path, but it ended abruptly.

This kind of giving up halfway is more heartbreaking than not having it at the beginning.

Xu Jingchang thought about it a lot. He found that he used the weaving bureau to produce silk, let the Shibo department sell it out, and sent all the money he made to the palace... After this method, except for Zhu Di who can get the money to continue to do great things, no one else can do it. Not much benefit to speak of.

Of course, doing this is very beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, but I'm sorry, the Ming Dynasty is just an illusory shadow, the common people, gentry, merchants, civil officials...they are all real.

If you don't get the benefits, it is impossible to support the West.

So what Xu Jingchang has to do is to get through the entire chain of interests... The common people are the foundation, followed by the upstarts represented by the King of Han. Only they can compete against the gentry group.

Then, relying on the treasure notes and lending money to win over the Ministry of Households...even the disbursement of allowances is a wonderful foreshadowing, because the courtiers' allowances come from the treasure notes of the Ministry of Households.

You guys don't want to ruin your fortune, do you?

Once this step has been achieved, voyages to the West will become profitable for a long time...

"Bachelor Xie, I plan to resign from the position of General Political Envoy." Xu Jingchang said to Xie Jin with a smile.

Xie Jin was dumbfounded, and almost doubted his ears, "Xu Tongzheng, you are doing a good job now, why did you resign?"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "From the day I became an official, I didn't expect to be able to do it for too long. Now that things are up to now, the real key is who will succeed me."

Xie Jin was taken aback, and looked at Xu Jingchang stupidly.

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "I need to recommend a qualified envoy to Your Majesty."

He looked at Xie Jin with a half-smile.

All of a sudden, Xie Jin felt his heart was stabbed.

Got it!

It's a heartwarming feeling.

"Xu...Tongzheng, what do you mean?"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "As you know, His Majesty has bestowed upon my father the title of Duke of Dingguo, and I am still only Marquis of Wuyang."

Xie Jinlue hesitated and said: "Xu Tongzheng has made great contributions to the court, so he should inherit the title of Duke of Dingguo."

Xu Jingchang pretended to be regretful and said: "Some time ago, I was forced to resign from the title of Prince and Taibao."

Xie Jin quickly said: "With the merits of Xu Tongzheng, at least the prince and grand teacher can be added."

"By the way, I still have the title of Prince Zhan Shi, you see?"

Xie Jin immediately said: "Tongzheng is knowledgeable, the prince just asked His Majesty to increase the number of masters, and Xu Tongzheng should be asked to teach the prince."

"Your Majesty also asked me to plan foreign trade..."

Xie Jin was already familiar with the routine, and quickly said: "Xu Tongzheng is the best at this matter, and you will still preside over it."

Xu Jingchang smiled and nodded, very satisfied, took the initiative to pull the chair, approached Xie Jin, and said worriedly: "I offended Jing Nan's upstart, dragged all the civil servants to the sky prison, and drove the four cabinet bachelors to the place , I am in the court, people hate dogs!"

Xie Jin gave me a shock, and you gave me gardening leave!

"Xu Tongzheng, your deeds are for the country and the people. Your Majesty is the first to become a great treasure. Xu Tongzheng has made great contributions to the community. Whoever dares to be rude to Xu Tongzheng, or even wants to impeach Xu Tongzheng, has no conscience."
