Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

The front of the official uniform was ripped open, the sleeves were torn, and Gu Tongshan, the magistrate of Wannian Prefecture with blood clots in the corner of his eye, was limping along the avenue outside Anping City leading directly to the government offices in his black gauze hat with only one wing left. superior.The low-ranking officials who saw this scene were all dumbfounded, and a few acquaintances tried to ask what happened, but at this moment, Gu Tongshan's face showed a selective and devouring expression, so scared that they couldn't even ask. I dare not ask more questions.But the more this happened, the more officials there were watching, and the voices of whispering in private gradually increased.

"Gu Tongshan, what are you up to!" Chen Yonghua who heard the news was also a little dumbfounded, but seeing the subtle eyes of all the officials around him, he, who was left behind in Dongning, had no choice but to stop loudly. "Look at your appearance, it's an insult to the official rank, if you don't go back to rectify it, what are you doing here to shame yourself!"

"So it's Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen's envoy!" Seeing that Chen Yonghua came out in person, Gu Tongshan sneered, put on his unrecognizable official hat again, and saluted deeply, in a depressing tone asked. "The lower official asks for advice from the chief envoy, embezzles the official land, and beats the current official, what crime should he deserve!"

"You were beaten?" Chen Yonghua was taken aback for a moment, and then became furious. "Who, who is so courageous, dare to beat the fifth-rank officials of this feudal clan! It is impossible to rebel."

"It's none other than Shou Ning Bo (Zheng Ming), Min Qing Bo (Zheng Zhi) and Jian Ning Bo (Zheng Rou)!" Chen Yonghua and the other officials gasped, and then listened to Gu Tongshan continue. "The three uncles invaded four thousand pieces of official land in the middle of the state. The Zaoli in the middle of the state went to investigate, but were bitten by the vicious dogs set by the servants of the uncle's mansion. The subordinate officials went to stop them in person, and they were beaten well. The three uncles He also said that this is his Zheng family's country, and the servants are nothing more than dogs and lackeys, who dare to turn against their masters, and it is impossible not to teach them a lesson." These words hurt people, and there was a commotion in the surrounding area. "A servant's single fist can't beat the evil servants, so I have to humiliate the official and ask the chief envoy for help. If the master can't be fair, the subordinate official has no choice but to resign."

Looking at Gu Tongshan who took off his hat and bowed his head and stood there waiting for his reply, and then glanced at the indignant Dongdu officials beside him, Chen Yonghua only felt that one head was as big as three.The matter involved the sons of the Zheng family, so the problem was not that simple. After all, Zhu Jin and Zhu Jin were compatriots of flesh and blood, and with Dong Guotai around, Zhu Jin would never kill and hurt his relatives.

But the emotions of all the officials must be appeased, otherwise the hearts of the officials will be scattered, and the team will be difficult to lead.

While Chen Yonghua was thinking of a countermeasure, he was secretly annoyed. If he knew this, he would never come out and accuse Gu Tongshan of his misconduct in public.But Gu Tongshan had already expressed his feelings to himself in public, and it was impossible to evade any more. As a last resort, Chen Yonghua, who was riding a tiger, could only try to mediate first.

"Come here, invite Uncle Shou Ning, Uncle Min Qing, and Uncle Jian Ning to talk about it, and let the imperial physician treat Mr. Gu's injuries."

Chen Yonghua originally wanted to give Zheng Ming a step down, but as long as a few people returned the official land, he would accompany Gu Tongshan for them, and the matter would be settled.But Chen Yonghua didn't expect that Zheng Ming and the others didn't take him as the chief envoy of Dongning at all. They not only refused to be present, but also let out the word that they were going to settle the four thousand officials, and it was absolutely impossible. If Chen Yonghua wants to go to Zhu Jin to file a complaint, he can just go there.

"Too domineering!" Chen Yonghua was also furious. "Come on, call Yongwei with the rest of the soldiers and send troops immediately to shovel all the sugar cane in the official land occupied by Uncle Shouning and the others. If the servants of the three houses dare to stop them, they will be killed!"

"Fufu!" Yang Xian was originally discussing with Chen Yonghua about using cement to renovate the Liangzhou State School, but now he heard Chen Yonghua's anxious decision and immediately stopped him loudly. "Confused!" After cursing this sentence, Yang Xian waved his hand to get the footman who was waiting beside him to step back. "Shoot to kill? What if Shou Ningbo and the others are here? Are they killed too?"

Jiang was still old and hot, and when Yang Xian touched him, Chen Yonghua immediately discovered his mistake.That's right, it doesn't matter if you hurt others, if you inadvertently hurt Zheng Ming, a pot of rebellious sewage that he can't avoid will be poured on his head immediately. It was originally a taboo thing for the superiors.

"Master Yang reminded me." Chen Yonghua thanked Yang Xian sincerely, but quickly frowned again. "Shou Nian Bo is confident, I am afraid that suing the king may not be able to restrain him, that's all, I am afraid that the king who is worried about the westward expedition will also worry about the instability of Dongning, this is the fault of servants and other officials. "

"That's right, it's not the way to be a minister if you can't share your worries for the king and have the master worry about everything." Yang Xian also had some headaches. "But if Shou Nian Bo and others are allowed to occupy the state treasury and the government's land, the treasury will be damaged, and the officials will not be able to explain it." This is exactly where Chen Yonghua is in trouble. My eyes lit up. "Fufu, I came up with an idea. This matter was caused by Yuanzi, how about letting Yuanzi come forward?"

Of course, Zheng Kezang already knew about Gu Tongshan's affairs. Although Zheng Ming and others invaded the official lands, he was not instigating, but he was happy to see the results --- the first harvest of newly planted sugar cane takes eighteen months. Zheng Ming and others will never have so much patience to wait for the sugarcane in their juetian to grow slowly. In order to obtain excess profits and to make up for the loss of this year and a half, they will inevitably expand the planting area by all means and occupy the official land It is the fastest and most direct way --- as long as they take this step, the next development of things will have a great chance to fall into the track he planned.

Of course, he has changed his strategy after receiving two direct proposals to no avail, so when Chen Yonghua approached him, he naturally showed a embarrassed expression: "Mr. Chen should know that Yu Zhuan is only 14 years old, how can If you can be a master of several uncles, sir, why not go directly to grandma."

Looking for Dong Guotai?What Zheng Kezang said was just a cold joke.You know, although Zhu Jin still treats Dong Guotai respectfully in daily life, she will never let her interfere in government affairs. Chen Yonghua naturally knows the reason: who has ever seen the emperor who is in charge of the government and the queen mother continues to manage? Government affairs?That being the case, how could Chen Yonghua, as Zhu Jin's important minister, work for Dong Guotai without Zhu Jin's approval? Isn't this a political suicide choice?

"Guotai has practiced Buddhism for many years, so it's better not to work on such dirty things." Because it involves power struggles in the palace, Chen Yonghua, who can't tell Zheng Kezangming, can only find another way. Zheng Rou is Zhu Chenggong's concubine Zheng Kezang's proposal was rejected on the grounds of having a child. "Besides, there is Jianningbo among them, and the Guotai is not easy to deal with."

After Zheng Kezang heard this, he curled his lips disapprovingly: "If there is something difficult to deal with, it will be fine if the bowl of water is leveled."

Chen Yonghua chuckled: "If you really want a bowl of water to be flat, then Funingbo's Tangliao should be shared with other brothers."

"Mr. Chen's words are unreasonable." Zheng Kezang shook his head. "I have heard people say that the hand is quick and the hand is slow. It doesn't mean that the first-getr has to be courteous and courteous in order to be a good neighbor with his family. If this is the case, he might as well give up the title of the king of Yanping County, my father's king." As soon as the top hat was buttoned, Chen Yonghua was speechless. Just when the scene was about to break down, Zheng Kezang cleared his throat. "Actually, Yu feels that Mr. Chen has put the cart before the horse in this matter."

"Put the cart before the horse?" Chen Yonghua was taken aback. "My lord, please explain clearly."

"The biggest problem in Taiwan at present is the lack of income among officials, which cannot meet the needs of the Western Expeditionary Army and hundreds of officials. As a last resort, we have to expand official land and follow the example of Emperor Taizu with the guards." Put your intentions on the table. "Official land guarantees the needs of Taiwan officials and the army. Once it is embezzled, it will inevitably affect the expenses of the officials, isn't it?" Chen Yonghua nodded, so Zheng Kezang continued. "My father conquered the mainland. Although he occupied several provinces, there were many repetitions among them, and his position was not stable. In the final analysis, he had to rely on the support of Dongning, isn't that right?" Chen Yonghua nodded again. "Since this is the case, why not focus on running Taiwan? Why don't you take more people to come to Taiwan while the soldiers of the vassal state are dominating the mainland, as a matter of fact? At the beginning, there may be no tax increase for one or two years to earn interest, but in three or five years After the next year, how can it be that there is one more county? There are more civilian villages, more income for officials, and sufficient military resources.”

"The source of troops is sufficient, and the vassal does not need to rely on the new attached army." Chen Yonghua is an expert in civil affairs, so he naturally understands what Zheng Kezang said. "The eldest son's words are very reasonable, I will tell the king of Ming Dynasty now, but," Chen Yonghua is a political veteran after all, and he was not taken into the ditch by Zheng Kezang's words. "But the issue of the official land is still unresolved."

"How could it be?" Zheng Kezang chuckled like a little fox who stole a chicken. "How to organize mainland immigrants to Taiwan, who is selected as Baozheng? Who is the leader? And who is the leader? The first leader of the Baozheng is generally selected from the towns and villages. Isn't the original land to be cultivated?" Returning it to the government, isn’t this official land available again? Moreover, only one of the ten households in one brand is the owner of the brand, because the old people in Taiwan are not in a good position to control the land, so it is necessary to relocate one or two households?”

"Young master, this plan is very clever." Chen Yonghua also wanted to understand that this is actually a white wolf with empty gloves. He even had a plan in mind immediately after the operation. "On the one hand, immigrating to Taiwan will cost a lot of money. On the other hand, it is easy to purchase farming tools and grain, but how to raise cattle, horses, and houses in time. In addition, the expansion of the villages will inevitably lead to embarrassment and even conflicts with many communes. Right now Taiwan will be short of soldiers, how will we deal with it then.”

"Cows and horses have to be transported from the mainland. As for the house, there is cement, so we can build a prefabricated house."

As soon as Chen Yonghua heard this, a thought flashed in Chen Yonghua's mind. Could it be that this teenage boy manipulated all of this? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Zheng Kezang exchanged the cement production process with his forefoot, and immigrants popped up here. The real backhand.

"And with cement, we can build a solid fortress as quickly as possible to hold on to, which is enough to support the arrival of Liushoubing Town. As for the huge cost, the newly replaced official land should be planted with sugar cane .”

The doubts in Chen Yonghua's heart became more and more serious, but Zheng Kezang's thinking was a solution, and in view of the threat of Pingpufan, it seemed logical to transfer households and officials from various towns: "The grain Where is it?"

"If you have money, go to Annam and Siam to buy food. I heard that grain is quite cheap there. For the price of one shipment of grain in Taiwan, you can buy two to three ships there. So even if the distance is a bit far, there are still risks at sea. But one or two It may be able to make up for the shortcomings of the Eastern Capital within this year."

"Then what if Shou Ningbo and the others continue to occupy the official land?"

"Mr. Chen's words are a bit out of the ordinary."

Zheng Kezang looked at the other party with a half-smile, as if, besides, I have seen through your little trick.

"Growing sugarcane requires a lot of manpower. The government can call on the common people to do labor, but do those uncles of Yu have so many manpower? So no matter how big their appetite is, they will be afraid of being overwhelmed for a while."

"This?" Chen Yonghua was speechless.

"That's all, that's all!" Zheng Kezang stood up from his seat. "Mr. Chen, where is that Gu Zhizhou? I asked him to accompany my uncles. This matter will be exposed."

Knowing that Zheng Kezang was trying to buy people's hearts, Chen Yonghua couldn't refuse. Instead, he had to put on a very pleased look: "The eldest son has a heart."

"As long as you don't say Yu is stubborn." Zheng Kezang repeated the old saying. "By the way, Mr. Chen must not mention Yu's name in the memorial to his father. Just say that Mr. Chen wanted it."

"This?" Chen Yonghua took a deep look at Zheng Kezang. It was only at this moment that he really realized the sophistication of the young man in front of him. When he thought that this person was the future heir of the clan, he hurriedly bowed his head. "The servant dare not obey his orders!"
