Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 247 Fairness
The prince's attitude is rare and firm.

For a long time, people's impression of Zhu Gaochi is the word of benevolence and virtue. It seems that no matter what happens, his opinions have always been dealt with strictly.

This strictness does not mean strict conviction and serious punishment, but a thorough investigation to make sure that there will be no unjust imprisonment, and even when it comes to final conviction and sentencing, it will be dealt with lightly.

But this time, his tone was rare and firm, without any room for maneuver.

Zhu Zhanhe felt that he had nothing to say about this.

What King Gu is doing is conspiracy, threatening the dominance of Zhu Di's lineage, and the crown prince is the next emperor, so it can be said that he is the most direct victim.

To put it bluntly, it's all for your own benefit.

Besides, the current emperor is not him. King Gu wants to overthrow the emperor. Can you not think about what the emperor thinks?
After receiving Zhu Gaochi's "suggestion", Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction, and then habitually turned his head to look at Zhu Zhanhe.

Zhu Zhanhe shrugged.

……

Zhu Di sighed slightly.

"Zhan He, you..." Zhu Di opened his mouth, but he seemed to have thought of something, and said immediately.

"Forget it, you go back and rest first."

"Grandson will leave." Zhu Zhanhe didn't hesitate at all, he got up and saluted, and then left directly.

nonsense!What are you waiting for if you don't run at this time?
Just now the old man obviously wanted to say something to himself, but at this moment, what can the old man say?
Ask for his opinion?Just kidding, who doesn't know Zhu Zhanhe's behavior style in this world?Doesn't asking him what about him mean the same as asking Bai?
This is something that everyone in the world knows, how can the old man not know?
So what else can there be besides asking for opinions on Jianzhouwei?
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help quickening his pace.

The number of times he was used as a gunman was too many, which not only made Zhu Zhanhe feel disgusted, but even made him make choices that he would not have made before.

Jiannu was once the person he swore to deal with, but the former Jianzhou Guard had been very quiet and didn't make any moves, so he couldn't directly attack without reason.

If it was before, if he was still in Yingtian, if the old man hadn't been so biased back then, if the old man hadn't blamed him and cast him aside...

Perhaps, Zhu Zhanhe was quite happy to clean up Jiannu.

But now, even if he is a slave, he is not willing.

To be more realistic, Jiannu can clean up afterward, but why should he clean up now?Clear all obstacles for the orthodox heir, and then throw them aside like garbage?
Why?
Zhu Zhanhe didn't think that he could get any benefits other than psychological satisfaction by taking action to clean up Jiannu.

Cleaning up the slaves is to clear the obstacles for the orthodox heirs, and the places that have been conquered are also owned by the court. Even if the old man promised to give it to him, but Jianzhouwei is so far away from Yunnan, and it takes a lot of effort to manage it. It is better not to take it.

Yes, the Northeast Plain is indeed rich in land, but the development also requires a lot of manpower and material resources, not to mention that it is still in the Little Ice Age, and it is freezing cold there.

After returning to the clan's mansion, Zhu Zhanhe immediately asked people to pack up his things and prepare to return.

It's enough for the excitement to see it, he doesn't plan to stay in Yingtian for a long time, lest he burn himself in time.

It's good to watch the excitement, Zhu Zhanhe likes it very much, but he doesn't want to watch and watch, and in the end he will become that excitement.

Before leaving, Zhu Zhanhe went to the household department.

It is said that it is for the consumption of life during the period in Beijing. After all, in Daming, the consumption of feudal kings entering Beijing is paid by the Ministry of Households.

However, Zhu Zhanhe didn't need to come in person for this matter, but if Zhu Zhanhe came here now, there must be something wrong.

"The prince is really going back?" Zhu Zhanhe's decision obviously disappointed Xia Yuanji.

Previously, although Xia Yuanji knew it was impossible, he still fantasized that Zhu Zhanhe could stay in Yingtian, because Zhu Zhanhe relieved the pressure on the household department that no one could do before.

Although he also knew that this was impossible, Xia Yuanji couldn't help but fantasize about it.

People are like this, even if they know it's impossible, they still can't help fantasizing.

"I've stayed in the capital for too long. If it wasn't for the matter of King Gu, I would have left after my cousin's wedding."

Now Zhu Zhanhe wants to laugh every time he sees Xia Yuanji, because apart from Xia Yuanji, no one in Ming Dynasty misses him because of money.

This feeling... um, how should I put it?It's very novel.

"I came to see you this time, and I came to say goodbye to you. After all, there are really not many people who can talk to me in Yingtian, and you are one of them."

"Well, I just have an opinion and business to talk to you about."

"Your Highness, please tell me." As soon as business matters were mentioned, Xia Yuanji immediately sat up straight and became serious.

"I came to you this time mainly for the matter of Xinliang." Zhu Zhanhe took out a booklet from his sleeve pocket and put it in front of Xia Yuanji.

"Before, I sent someone to Yingtian to deliver the seeds of the new grain. At that time, there were two kinds of seeds in total. I also told Grandpa Huang that corn is fine, but sweet potatoes must not be released in advance."

"I don't know now..."

"His Royal Highness, don't worry!" Xia Yuanji knew this matter very well, because although this matter was no longer directly under the household department because of Zhu Zhanhe's order, Xia Yuanji still knew the specific situation.

Firstly, because Xia Yuanji is indeed a veteran minister, secondly, because Xia Yuanji has done a good job in the position of Hubu Shangshu, and thirdly...

Zhu Zhanhe trusts him very much, this is Zhu Di's gesture of favor to Zhu Zhanhe.

"Previously, because of your request, His Majesty, His Majesty did not distribute the sweet potato seeds. The court has always managed it by itself. Every year, the Ministry of Households checks the number and finds someone to cultivate, and the Jinyiwei supervises it. Check it out again."

"So far, it cannot be said that sweet potatoes have not flowed out, but there are definitely very few."

"I know." Zhu Zhanhe nodded, and pushed the folder in front of him forward again.

"But this time, I'm not asking you to strengthen the supervision of sweet potatoes, but to tell Grandpa Huang that the sweet potatoes can be released. This is a book written by me."

It is impossible for Zhu Zhanhe not to pay attention to the matter of sweet potatoes. Before that, he did not dare to say that it was all the time, but every year he would pay special attention to the news about high-yield grains.

After all, the sweet potato was the only thing that could disrupt, or even make all his plans aborted.

"Let go?" Xia Yuanji was taken aback for a moment, but then became ecstatic.

"His Royal Highness! You are talking about... what do you mean by letting go? Is it that everyone in Daming can plant it?"

"Yes." Zhu Zhanhe smiled and nodded.

After careful understanding, Xia Yuanji is quite interesting. He is a person with a pure heart. Whenever he encounters something that is beneficial to the treasury, he will be happy. The degree of happiness varies with the benefits that the treasury can get. .

"Is it the kind that can be distributed to the common people and cultivated casually?" Xia Yuanji asked a little worriedly.

"Yes." Zhu Zhanhe nodded again, but this time he added something.

"What I said is that you can come at will, but it is not the same as the previous method of corn."

"Your Highness, please tell me." Xia Yuanji's expression was extremely serious, because he knew exactly what it meant.

"Wei Zhe, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Households. You know the production of sweet potatoes. Now that the control is in the hands of the imperial court, we can still maintain it. At least we won't let others get too much."

"But once you let go, it will be uncontrollable. Wei Zhe, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, so I don't need to elaborate on this."

"Yes, Wei Zhe has thought about this problem before." Xia Yuanji's face became more serious, because he had thought about this problem before.

"Your Highness, you are now..."

"So, there are two things you need to do, and I have written them all in this booklet." Zhu Zhanhe pointed to the booklet.

"The first is the control area. The first and all the areas that will be released in the future will still be the area around Yingtianfu."

"This is because it is close to Yingtian, and it is easy to respond in case something happens. Second, the land along the Yangtze River is relatively fertile, and it is a land of fish and rice, so the production can be guaranteed."

"This should be no problem." Xia Yuanji nodded, he still knew what kind of results the sweet potato production would get.

"However, this may... not be enough?"

"Well, so there is a second point." Zhu Zhanhe stretched out two fingers.

"Secondly, Daming's taxes must not accept sweet potatoes! Definitely! No amount!"

Zhu Zhanhe knows very well that rice and wheat are the real reserves. Although the current output of sweet potatoes is very high, it is a practice of fishing in the dry lake. If it is not for external expansion and the arrival of the Little Ice Age, Zhu Zhanhe will not be like this Large-scale promotion of sweet potatoes.

"Wei Zhe knows." Xia Yuanji nodded, put away the notebook, then raised his head and looked at Zhu Zhanhe quietly.

"Huh? Is there anything else?" Zhu Zhanhe was about to stand up and say goodbye, but Xia Yuanji's gaze made him pause.

Xia Yuanji didn't speak either, but just looked at Zhu Zhanhe quietly, as if he wanted to see something.

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Zhanhe looked at Xia Yuanji with a dazed expression, and was about to say something when Xia Yuanji sighed softly.

"His Royal Highness, take care all the way..."

Xia Yuanji's voice was full of frustration, full of disappointment and... what a pity?
In Yingtian, Xia Yuanji may not know Zhu Zhanhe the best, but he also knows the best relatively. In this respect, even Zhu Di may not be as good as him.

Zhu Zhanhe was able to stay in Yingtian for so long this time because of the problem of King Gu. Now that the matter of King Gu has not been resolved (Jin Yiwei did it, the outside world does not know), Zhu Zhanhe wants to leave in a hurry.

As soon as Xia Yuanji guessed, he felt that it was Zhu Di who wanted Zhu Zhanhe to do something again, but Zhu Zhanhe was very disgusted, such as the grassland and the country of Japan before, which finally caused Zhu Zhanhe to leave in such a hurry.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuanji couldn't help but sighed again.
