little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 85 Decision
An extremely ordinary courtyard with three entrances, white walls and gray tiles, half of the walls are covered with verdant ivy, a small vegetable field on the left side of the entrance, in which some cucumbers and vegetables are planted, the small black door is quiet Covered, quiet without the slightest sound.

The small hall in the middle was dark and quiet, with nothing on the walls, and a few red candles burning in the corners.A man in yellow sat with his back, and a man behind him stood respectfully with his hands down. No one knew that he had been standing like this for almost an hour, but the strange thing was that there was no trace of disrespect on this man's face. If Zheng Cathay is here, even if he is killed, he will not admit that this man with an almost pious expression is the omnipotent Gu Xiancheng he knows.

"Su Yingxue has already entered the Xia Garden, right?" The voice was empty and quiet, echoing low in the empty room.

Gu Xiancheng said in a respectful tone, "Master, don't worry, it's been more than a month since I went in. With Su Yingxue's beauty and vengeance, it will come naturally."

"Master, it is clear that Prince Rui is extraordinary, but since the day he became a vassal, he has lost the qualification to compete with us in the world. From Xiancheng's point of view, there is no need for Master to take such precautions against him."

"Tigers are still close, and people are too familiar!" The man in yellow sneered, "You must have underestimated the eldest son of the emperor! Is it okay to be a feudal clan? Don't be so naive, have you forgotten our Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty? How did he get the world, he was also a vassal king back then!"

Gu Xiancheng remained silent, with sweat dripping from his forehead.

The man in yellow turned around slowly, with an indisputable expression of joy and anger on his face, "It really disappoints me to say such a thing after so much experience."

Gu Xiancheng raised his head abruptly, as if he wanted to say something, he opened his mouth, but closed it tightly again.

"At present, the turmoil in the court has gradually subsided. Shen Shixing resigned, Wang Xijue resigned, Zhao Zhigao was weak, and Zhang Wei was violent. These people are no longer to be feared, but Shen has always been treacherous and has formed factions in the court. Difficult."

"He has the backing of the emperor and now he is back in charge of the cabinet, so he can't be moved for the time being. The entire Su family was slaughtered, and I left Su Yingxue alone. Now I will arrange to be by his side and provoke them to fight each other. We can reap the benefits."

Gu Xiancheng lowered his eyelashes, sighing in admiration while feeling bitter in his heart.In the heart of this master, I am afraid that everyone in this world is a chess piece, and everyone can be regarded as a person who can be used, even a proud disciple like himself is not immune.

"The master is painstaking and solitary, every step of the way is clever, and the disciple respects him."

"Refraining from haste and patience is the best way! I have waited for decades, and I must not rush for a while, so that my achievements fall short." The voice is sonorous, and there seems to be infinite sense in the ambition, "You must remember! Those who do great things must never underestimate the enemy Go forward rashly, or you will ruin something! I think if I hadn't..." At this point, the voice stopped abruptly.

Gu Xiancheng's heart was thumping wildly. He had faintly sensed something from the words of the master, and suddenly felt an indescribable fear. This master's thoughts and plans were far beyond what he had imagined can imagine.

"Master's lesson, this disciple has written it down." Gu Xiancheng's expression fluctuated, and he suddenly pleaded in a low voice, "When the great cause is accomplished in the future, I beg the master to grant you grace and let the disciple go on a boat on the five lakes like Doctor Fan. This is the only thing I wish for in my life That's all."

Zhan Zhan's eyes seemed to fall on Gu Xiancheng, and he sighed after a long time, "You are extremely intelligent, you are born to be a person like Yi Yin and Lu Wang, but it is a pity that you are entangled in love and evil, but you don't want to get rid of it, and you will never become a great weapon." Heartbroken Meaning, beyond words.

Gu Xiancheng's face darkened, "It's because the disciple is ineffective and let the master down."

The man in yellow snorted coldly, and the master and apprentice stopped talking. After a moment of silence, "I will go back in the next few days. I am very relieved to have you in the capital."

Gu Xiancheng was rather reluctant, "Master has not been here for long, why don't you stay longer and go back."

"It's been a long time since I've been out, so it's time to go back and have a look. You grew up beside me, and I know your filial piety." Gu Xiancheng felt warm after being comforted by Master's warm words. Guosi bought some candied haws, I want to take them back."

The candied haws in Huguo Temple is famous all over the world, but Gu Xiancheng couldn't help but be amazed, when will the master eat this?He was very sincere as a teacher, he was curious and didn't dare to ask more questions, so he quickly agreed.

"Master, there are not many things going on in the court these days. With Ye Jinqing and Li Sancai and others here, there won't be any big troubles. I want to go back to my hometown."

The man in yellow didn't care too much, "It's up to you, just don't miss the business."

"Master, don't worry, the disciple knows the severity."

A few days ago, I received a letter from my brother Gu Yuncheng and my good friend Gao Panlong, and learned that the prefect of Changzhou had approved the special funds, and the affairs of the academy had been settled. Now Gu Xiancheng, who has received the master's approval, became very happy.

The mountains and rivers are picturesque, attracting countless heroes.Life is also like a big play, and I will appear on the stage after the other side sings.Just when Gu Xiancheng and others were full of hesitation and pointed at the wind and thunder, Zhu Changluo, who was in Jinan, also started a series of actions.

Zhu Changluo has been very busy these days. After all, there are still more than 1 people waiting for him every day, eating, drinking and drinking. The most urgent task right now is how to resettle the refugees.

In the study, Zhu Changluo hung a topographic map of Jinan on the wall, pointed to one of the places, and said with a firm expression, "Let's settle down here!"

The eyes of Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, and Ye He all fell on the place where Zhu Changluo pointed, and when they saw it clearly, they couldn't help being startled.

Although Shandong is not as rich as the Huguang area in Jiangsu in Ming Dynasty, it is by no means a remote place. Zhu Changluo's fiefdom is Jinan Prefecture, which has four prefectures and fifteen counties under his jurisdiction.The four prefectures are Tai'an, Dezhou, Wuding, and Binzhou. Among the four prefectures, Tai'an should be the most prosperous, while Binzhou is the poorest.

Regarding Zhu Changluo's question, Sun Chengzong did not express his position.

"My lord, are you sure you want to move all the refugees to this place?" The one who couldn't hold back was Xiong Tingbi.

As the only Xiong Tingbi among the four who has done fieldwork, he is most qualified to ask this question. As Zhu Changluo nodded, Xiong Tingbi sank to the bottom of his heart, and immediately jumped up, "Your Highness can't do it, four Binzhou is the poorest and most barren of the fifteen counties in the prefecture!"

In his opinion, there are mountains, seas, and rivers in Binzhou. It looks good, but the mountains are poor mountains, the river is the Yellow River, and the sea is the Bohai Sea. Long grass grows nothing!

What are you going to do to drag these more than 1 people to that place?Do you drink northwest wind?Isn't this the rhythm of death?

Glancing at Zhu Changluo, who was calm and confident, Sun Chengzong once again felt that this matter was not that simple, so he stretched out his hand to pull someone who had committed a bear temper, "Fei Bai, don't be impulsive, sit quietly and listen to His Highness's reasoning."

Ye He glanced at the two of them, secretly amused in his heart, these two still had a short time with Zhu Xiaojiu, don't they know that this master will never suffer?He was never worried about Zhu Changluo's decision. After so many years of getting along, Ye He had already cultivated a normal mind to deal with all kinds of unexpected ideas of this wise and almost monster guy, and he would not feel strange about any bizarre ideas.

"Teacher, is the refugee list ready?"

Teacher Sun has always been serious and sincere in his work. He took out a small book from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Changluo. 100 people, according to your request, I have selected 600 strong and strong people for training."

"Well, so excluding these 5000 people, we still have [-] young and strong laborers available."

"In fact, it's more than that. It's not that the old and the weak, women and children can't do anything, and it's not difficult to farm or anything." weaker than men.

Zhu Changluo nodded, "Well, now let's talk about why I chose Binzhou as a resettlement place." Eyelids, see what kind of demon moth this guy is going to show.

"As Brother Xiong said, out of the four prefectures and fifteen counties, there may be a place that is better than Binzhou. I also absolutely believe that as long as I go to Governor Zhou to take the [-] hectares of land that the emperor gave me, he will definitely give it to me." Let's arrange the best and fattest land, but..." At this point, Zhu Changluo paused, and his clear eyes finally fell on Xiong Tingbi, which inevitably made Xiong Tingbi feel anxious.

"Where there is gain, there must be loss. The land we gain will definitely be lost. The officials and lords have power in their hands, and they will never let them lose a little bit of themselves. Then the losers are those suffering people!"

All the people here are smart people, so there is no need to beat the drum hard, Xiong Tingbi's head suddenly drooped, and Sun Chengzong was in awe, who can think about the people's livelihood like this must be a generation of enlightened masters in the future.

"Why are the people so innocent that they will lose the land that their whole family relies on because of my surrender? Could it be that the purpose of bringing refugees from the capital is to rob the people of Shandong for their rations? This kind of thing is not my original intention."

Xiong Tingbi stood up suddenly, bowed to Zhu Changluo, and said loudly: "I was wrong, I only knew about myself, I didn't know anyone, I... I am really ashamed."

"Brother, don't take it to heart. Although you can't think of it for a while, it's not your fault." Xiong Tingbi felt better after being comforted. Straightforwardly."

"Binzhou is bordered by the Yellow River in the south, the Bohai Sea in the north, and surrounded by countless mountains. You all think that the soil there is barren. This is true." The Yellow River floods every year, and disasters are bound to occur. The seaside land is not suitable for farming because of its high salt content. This is what everyone knows, but don't they know that there are rich copper, gold, and silver mines in those bald hills in Binzhou?Is there coal and oil in the saline-alkali land where people walk?
Thinking of this, Zhu Changluo was so happy that he was dying, let the food growers die...

"Teacher, you and Fei Bai go back and arrange the refugee army, pack your things, and when Ye He and I come back from seeing Zhou Heng, we will set off and head to Binzhou to settle down!"

Now, even Sun Chengzong was a little impatient, "His Royal Highness, it's easy to talk about setting up camp, but can you tell me what we are doing? The land there is barren, how will we go about raising troops?"

"Who said we're going to farm?"

One sentence was like a shock, not to mention Sun and Xiong, even Ye He's round eyes widened!
