Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 714 Businessman named Tang
  Zhu Yuanzhang decided what to do, immediately delivered the imperial edict, and arranged for a special person to go to Dingyuan to take charge of the matter. Zhu Xuan could continue to go to Fengyang to worship his ancestors without delaying anything else.

The Jin Yiwei who delivered the news first arrived in Fengyang and delivered the imperial edict to Zhu Xuan.

The Jin Yiwei were still responsible for investigating and handling this matter. At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang also issued an order to let the soldiers of the Yingwu Guard near Dingyuan replace the Jin Yiwei and Yulin Guard around Zhu Xuan to control the nobles, landlords and Buddhist temples.

When he got this imperial edict, Zhu Xuan put everything else aside for the time being.

It's just that he decided to redress the grievances of the people of Dingyuan and was still investigating and reviewing the cases in Dingyuan. Based on the number of complaints from the people, we can judge how greedy that bitch Yu Chengchun was in Dingyuan and how evil he was. .

In some cases, they even colluded with Xungui.

It was difficult for Zhu Xuan to handle cases involving nobles, so he could only keep them and hand them over to the Jin Yiwei to report to Grandpa Huang.

That evening, Zhu Xuan finally finished the case and returned to the county government office, his shoulders sore from exhaustion.

Xu Miaojin gently massaged Zhu Xuan's shoulders.

Mu Yuanjun brought dinner, and they ate with Zhu Xuan.

"Your Highness has worked hard."

Tie Xiuying said softly.

Zhu Xuan shook his head and said: "It is indeed very hard. Being a county magistrate here and trying cases here is much harder than reading memorials in the Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace."

The reason is also very simple.

Read the memorial in Zhan Shifu, assisted by Jie Jin and others. All the cases here are handled by oneself. If he had known about it, he would have brought Ji Wenjing here. He added: "But it's okay. We can put this matter aside for the time being. Grandpa Huang has arranged for someone to take over, and we will continue to Fengyang tomorrow."

"Those nobles will be in trouble, right?"

Xu Miaojin asked softly.

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "I should do it, but the specifics still depend on how Grandpa Huang arranges it. After all, the matter is more serious to pursue."

The use of Buddhist temples to evade taxes destroyed the financial resources of the Ming Dynasty.

If the world's nobles, landlords, etc. follow suit, Ming's finances will collapse in the future, and the problem is indeed serious.

"Besides, those monks will also be in trouble next time."

Zhu Xuan said again.

A monk is bound to be unlucky.

Even if Lao Zhu doesn't plan to touch the Buddhist and Taoist families, Zhu Xuan will find a way to see if he can cut the flesh of the Buddhist and Taoist families when he returns. Those monks are still too full and dare to interfere with the Ming Dynasty's taxation.

Lao Zhu had been a monk, and he did not want to forget his roots, so he treated the monks very favorably. They probably used this as the basis for their misdeeds!
  "This thing is too big."

Cen Hua echoed: "I hope it won't bring turmoil to the Ming Dynasty."

"Probably not!"

Zhu Xuan said.

They put this matter aside for the time being and waited for Lao Zhu's people to arrive.

After almost resting and having dinner, Zhu Xuan chatted with his little wife about the future. He could only talk about the future here. If he returned to Yingtian, it would be difficult to meet her.

But after returning, Grandpa Huang will probably arrange the marriage.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xuan was looking forward to it.

The next day.

After Zhu Xuan got up, he asked Yan Guan to go to the guard station, mobilize the people of Yingwu Guard with the imperial edict, and arrange for them to keep an eye on the nobles, landlords, officials and Buddhist temples, etc., and then wait for the arrival of the court people.

After everything was done, Zhu Xuan officially left Dingyuan.

However, not long after they left, a guard from the north came hurriedly towards their team and handed Yan Guan a letter. Yan Guan did not dare to read the contents of the letter, so he handed it to Zhu Xuan.

"The letters from the north come from Xuanfu Town, Beiping?"

Zhu Xuan opened it and read the contents, and almost forgot one thing, that is, he had asked someone to investigate the matter of the businessman surnamed Tang who helped with disaster relief in Xuanfu Town, and Jin Yiwei's investigation had another result.

However, the content above made him frown.

The identity of the businessman surnamed Tang is still the businessman who started his business selling wild ginseng in Liaodong. Apart from this, no other identity can be found, but Jin Yiwei discovered a very special phenomenon.

The businessman surnamed Tang was a bit vigilant. When he went to naturalize and prepare to trade with the Monan herdsmen, he found the Jinyi guards staring at them. At the same time, there was a special phenomenon in Xuanfu Town, that is, the businessman surnamed Tang was in the local area. Very prestigious.

Even higher than the imperial court and King Yan.

Not only in Xuanfu Town, but also in the border areas of several other areas in the north, the merchants surnamed Tang respected and had a certain degree of prestige. An ordinary merchant, even one who helped the court with disaster relief, would not be able to do this under normal circumstances.

It is very thought-provoking that the merchants surnamed Tang could achieve this and gain a certain amount of public support, as if they were telling Zhu Xuan that what they had was not simple.

"Can a mere businessman do this?"

Zhu Xuan touched his chin. According to the surname "Tang", Tang Saier's face appeared in his mind, and he said to himself: "They are in the north. What they want is not business or prestige, but a certain degree of popular support! "

People's hearts are something that can't be seen or even touched, but is very useful.

If you win the support of the people, you can accomplish many things.

There seems to be no one in the world who wants to win the hearts and minds of the people except the White Lotus Sect. Even if those imperial uncles want to do something, they will not win the hearts and minds of the people so deliberately.

That catastrophe gave the White Lotus Sect an opportunity.

Zhu Xuan finally found a way to keep an eye on the White Lotus Sect. Perhaps this was an opportunity to uproot the White Lotus Sect, and said: "Yan Guan, please send an order back and tell the brothers to leave the merchant named Tang alone and let him continue to develop."

If you take too much care, it's easy to find out that Jin Yiwei is watching.

But if you leave it alone, it is possible for the White Lotus Sect to succeed.

However, Zhu Xuan didn't care about this.

Isn't it just the popular sentiment of the people in the border areas? This kind of popular sentiment cannot stir up much trouble. Even if they rebel, it will be easy to suppress them.

In addition, if the White Lotus Sect wants to steal people's hearts, it will be easy for Zhu Xuan to win them back. A White Lotus Sect or a businessman cannot compete with the huge national strength.

Behind Zhu Xuan is Da Ming, who has the confidence to do this.

"If we don't care, won't those people intensify their efforts and do more and more excessive things?"

Yan Guan said worriedly.

"It won't be too much, I will control it appropriately."

Zhu Xuan was calm and confident: "If we control too much and they don't dare to expand, the White Lotus Sect will not be exposed. If we let it go and develop, it will easily expand and expose everything."

Yan Guan understood it as soon as he heard it.

With Daming's current strength, and the firearms in Zhu Xuan's hands.

Even if the White Lotus Sect could lead the people in the border areas to rebel, it would still be quite easy for the court to suppress them.

It's okay if the White Lotus Sect doesn't rebel, but if they dare, they will be completely exposed.

Just like those vassal kings, if they didn't rebel, Zhu Xuan would be helpless, but they dared to rebel, and the knife that cut the vassal was extremely smooth. They still cut it based on righteousness, and no one could find Zhu Xuan's fault.

The greater the noise the White Lotus Sect makes, the easier it will be to deal with them in the future.
