I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 75: Old Zhu's Anger!Wonderful!

"Hahaha, the effect of the strike is better than I imagined!"

In the yamen of Dali Temple, Huang Zicheng was in a very good mood.

Qi Tai just came here and brought news from the market.

Now not only the merchants in Jinling City, Yangzhou, Suzhou and other places are also eager to try, planning to stop the market and force the court to stop levying business taxes.

"Although this son has a talent for poetry, how can he manage the country easily?"

Qi Tai said with a smile: "On the contrary, mundane affairs are the most difficult to deal with. I think he is still good at writing poems, which may be passed down through the ages."

Huang Zicheng also nodded slightly.

He has no objection to Zhu Yunxi's poetic talent.

After all, it is very rare for a seven-year-old child to be able to write "Generation of generations of talented people, each leading the way for hundreds of years".

Not to mention that there are quatrains such as "The most unstoppable in the world, Zhu Yan's speech from the mirror, flowers and trees", and the shocking impromptu words of "Rolling the Yangtze River to the east".

Even Fang Xiaoru could only worship him, Huang Zicheng of course didn't dare to question him.

Cao Zijian wrote a poem in seven steps, which has been recited for thousands of years.

Zhu Yunxuan is also not bad at all, he writes impromptu poems, and has long been famous all over the world.

But the title of the poem belongs to the title of the poem, and the governance of the country belongs to the governance of the country.

Huang Zicheng didn't believe that a seven-year-old child could manage political affairs well.

You see, he just took office, and a merchant went on strike, making him unable to step down.

"Your Majesty miscalculated this time. If he doesn't take charge of Yingtian Mansion, we really don't have any good ideas, but if he comes to take charge of Yingtian Mansion, we have a solution."

Huang Zicheng said with a smile: "He proposed to increase the business tax, and those nobles are extremely dissatisfied."

"This strike can go so smoothly, and it's all thanks to the cooperation of those nobles."

Qi Tai nodded.

Businessmen are just "little soldiers" charging ahead.

Without the support of nobles and nobles, they would not dare to go on strike collectively even if they borrowed a hundred courage from those merchants.

Now that the general situation has come, Zhu Yunxi can't get off riding a tiger.

If he ordered not to levy more business tax at this time, it would prove that his previous letter to levy business tax was wrong.

Then he is not qualified to be established as the crown prince and the successor of Daming Jiangshan.

Conversely, if he does not regress now, the merchants in Jinling will not be closed, and the merchants in Suzhou and Yangzhou will follow suit
The entire south of the Ming Dynasty is going to be in chaos.

Can he take up the responsibility?
"I can add fuel to the fire later, and write a letter to the imperial court."

Qi Tai nodded and said: "Don't worry, this matter is already being handled. According to the news from the General Affairs Department, 270 officials have submitted letters within one day today."

Huang Zicheng was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said, "Good!"

As soon as the voice fell, someone from outside hurried in.

"My lords, it's not good. The merchants in Jinling City have resumed trading."

"what?"

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were both shocked.

"how is this possible?"

Both couldn't believe it.

How could such a large-scale market strike stop suddenly and resume the market?
"This is absolutely true. The market has indeed resumed outside."

The man took out a piece of paper from which he had copied the notice.

"Ying Tianfu issued a notice, and it was posted by Jin Yiwei."

He presented the paper.

Huang Zicheng snatched the paper over, and his eyes widened, his pupils suddenly dilated.

His hands weakened slowly, his body slumped on the chair, and his spirit was already sluggish.

Seeing this, Qi Tai took the paper over, glanced at it quickly, and his expression changed accordingly.

"High! He actually came up with such a plan to draw the bottom line, no wonder those merchants will resume the market."

"We worked hard to plan, but it all came to nothing."

……

The palace, the imperial study.

Zhao Mian, Minister of the Household Department, and Yang Jing, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, stood respectfully below.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat at the head, his face very ugly.

On the table, there are piles of memorials.

"Okay, these profiteers, how dare they strike?"

When Lao Zhu spoke, he was already full of murderous intent.

He was born from a grassroots, and with a single bowl, he conquered the entire Daming country.

What storms have you never seen?

What is it if a mere businessman goes on strike?
What really made Lao Zhu angry was that he just wanted Zhu Yunxi to do something and accumulate some meritorious service so that he could be made grandson.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Yunxi was put in charge of Yingtian Mansion, there was a mass strike.

As a result, Lao Zhu's arrangement was completely disrupted.

Lao Zhu believed that with Zhu Yunxuan's ability, he would be able to make some political achievements sooner or later.

But the matter of the crown prince cannot be delayed for long.

If he hesitates, it will be like forcing brothers to fight against each other for the position of prince and fight against each other.

This is the thing that makes Lao Zhu feel bad the most.

"Your Majesty, the current plan is to postpone the increase in commercial taxes."

Yang Jing said: "The imperial court still has some savings, so there is no need to rush to increase business tax."

He used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, although he has been transferred to the Ministry of Punishment now, he also knows that the Ministry of Household Affairs is not a good family.

People's families are always worried about a few taels of silver.

In fact, why is the court not like this?

It's just magnified countless times.

But now that the merchants in Jinling City are on strike, the business tax increase can only be postponed.

"We can't delay any longer." Zhao Mian objected.

He is now in charge of the household department, and all the expenses of the court have to be paid from the household department, but the income is not much, and he is facing the dilemma that a good wife can't live without rice.

"Those merchants dare to stop the market, the imperial court should deal with it severely, and must not condone and raise traitors."

Zhao Mian said: "Master Yang, if you are in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, you should send people to arrest a group of merchants who take the lead in striking the market. Those who should be beheaded will be beheaded, and those who should be ransacked. I will see who dares to strike."

Yang Jing quickly winked at him.

If this is true, the problem of merchant strikes will be solved, but how should the instigator of this incident, His Royal Highness Zhu Yunxi, be dealt with?

Not to mention anything else, at least the matter of making him the crown prince is a waste of time.

His Majesty originally conferred him the Southern King and let him be in charge of Yingtian Mansion for the purpose of handing over power smoothly.

To break His Majesty's arrangement to establish a crown prince is a real national event.

Besides, if people really want to be arrested, since Zhu Yunxi is now in charge of Yingtian Mansion, he can directly order people to be arrested, so there is no need for the Ministry of Punishments to intervene.

Above, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "I have already sent Jiang Yu to Yingtian Mansion, and let Jiang Yu just let go and do it, and Jin Yiwei will assist him."

Yang Jing was startled, is His Majesty going to raise the butcher knife?

Right.

The merchants' strike is a challenge to His Majesty's majesty. Who is Your Majesty?How can we allow others to provoke us?
Moreover, as long as you are not a fool, you will know that behind these businessmen, there are nobles and civil servants to support them.

They are declaring war on the imperial power!

How can His Majesty bear it?

Only in this way, the matter of Li Chujun will be troublesome...

Just thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"I hope that Xi'er can come up with a solution for both ends, it's hard for me!"

In an instant, he seemed to have aged ten years.

If these businessmen came for him, then it would be easy, just kill them all.

Killed so that heads rolled, and blood flowed like rivers!
His butcher knife has never been blunt.

Not to mention hesitating for fear of killing too many people.

But this matter involves Xi'er, and involves the position of the crown prince...

As strong as Zhu Yuanzhang, he has to think carefully and cast a rat-like weapon.

As a grandfather, he has to take care of his grandson.

As an emperor, he has to worry about the stable inheritance of the country.

For a moment, several people in the hall fell into silence.

At this moment, an eunuch bent over and hurried in.

"Your Majesty, the merchants in Jinling City have resumed trading."

"what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised.

Is it coming back to the market so soon?

Should not be!

Even if people are arrested and killed, forcing them to resume the market, counting the time, there is only time to catch a few leaders.

These merchants may remain silent, but they will never give in so easily.

"His Royal Highness Nanwang posted a notice, and all the merchants will resume trading."

Zhao Mian, Yang Jing, and even Zhu Yuanzhang were all shocked.

The eunuch quickly presented the paper with the content of the notice.

Zhu Yuanzhang took it over and looked at it, and immediately looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! With just one move, these merchants were able to resume trading without any effort. Sou'er has indeed lived up to our high expectations."

……

PS: Don't worry, everyone, the explosion will start tomorrow, and the big climax is coming!
