Daming: I asked you to supervise the country, Daming is all crazy?

Chapter 36 Bi Mawen Zhu Gaosui! ! !

"Cao!!!"

"Sloppy!"

Seeing that Xia Yuanji didn't even turn his head, Zhu Zhanji's face turned dark immediately.

Based on his understanding of this old man, if he really got the refined table salt out, it would definitely be dozens of times more difficult to bargain for himself than it was before he found out the method.

"Grandson, this..."

Zhou Chen on the side looked at Zhu Zhanji, he couldn't understand why he said "Cao?"

By the way, what is this "Cao"?
"Cao is a kind of grass, you can call him Cao Cao grass!"

Seeing Zhou Chen's eagerness for knowledge, Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes and explained casually.

Zhou Chen: "..."

I feel that you are fooling me, but why does it seem to be true?

Is there really "Cao Cao Grass"?
What does this have to do with Cao Cao?

Zhou Chen's head was buzzing.

But he didn't get entangled in this issue, he was still very curious about what was written on the piece of paper that Zhu Zhanji gave Xia Yuanji.

Looking at Xia Yuanji's attitude, he knew that this matter could not be simple.

When Xia Yuanji went out, he looked at Zhu Zhanji and asked:

"His Royal Highness just gave Xia Shangshu the method of turning poisonous salt into table salt?"

Poisonous salt is actually mineral salt. Most of the table salt now is sea salt, and some well salt.

The method used is quite primitive salt boiling method, well salt boils brine, and sea salt boils sea water.

According to the color of salt, it is divided into five types: blue, yellow, white, black and purple.

Among them, blue salt is the best salt, yellow salt is next, and black salt and purple salt are poisonous just by their color.

Mineral salt also belongs to this type of poisonous salt, and is generally not eaten by humans, and at most it is fed to livestock in a small amount.

But the largest amount is also this kind of poisonous salt.

If it is really possible to turn poisonous salt into table salt, then it will definitely greatly increase Daming's salt tax revenue.

You must know that Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was able to fight from the south to the north, and the salt tax played a large part of the role.

Even now, the salt tax is the most important fiscal revenue of Ming Dynasty, accounting for almost half of the fiscal revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Zhou Chen felt a little regretful, the grandson of the emperor told him to look at this method just now.

It's just that after Xia Yuanji got the thing, he put it into his arms directly, even if he wanted to see it, he couldn't help it. After all, he was a small fifth grader and naturally he didn't dare to grab something from a minister.

Zhu Zhanji was still very fond of Zhou Chen, and when he heard his question, he nodded and said, "It's not only a way to turn poisonous salt into table salt, but also a way to turn some bad salt into the best table salt."

After hearing Zhu Zhanji's confirmation, Zhou Chen showed excitement on his face and said:

"His Royal Highness, the salt tax in Ming Dynasty is eighty-nine-tenths lower than that in the Song Dynasty, and most of it is replaced by private salt. Coupled with layers of exploitation, only one-tenth of the people can enter the national treasury, but Just this has already accounted for most of my Ming Dynasty's tax revenue. If His Highness the Grandson has a way to turn poisonous salt into high-quality table salt, as long as this method is not spread, he will be able to use this high-quality table salt to suppress all illegal salt and bad salt. At that time, the taxes of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably increase dramatically!"

"Well, at the same price, is it possible to use high-quality salt to drive out bad salt? This is a good idea!"

Zhu Zhanji nodded when he heard Zhou Chen's analysis. His thoughts were similar to his, and he said, "But this is not urgent. We will wait until Xia Shangshu has verified it!"

After Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, he took out another token from his arms, and handed it to Zhou Chen:

"The East Palace has a Huangzhuang in Yingtianfu. It covers an area of ​​about [-] hectares. I plan to build a woolen mill here. Zhuang took over, and then conducted a field inspection, and it would be best to choose a place close to the water source, and let me know after the selection is made!"

When Zhou Chen heard the words and took the token handed over by Xiaonai, his voice should be respectful.

After Zhu Zhanji told him some requirements for building a textile factory land, he let Zhou Chen go to work.

Huangzhuang is not small, almost a county, and it is impossible for Zhu Zhanji to go to one place to see it in person.

So I plan to let Zhou Chen step on the spot first, this can be regarded as a test for Zhou Chen!
After Zhou Chen left, Zhu Zhanji processed a few more papers that San Yang handed over.

Seeing that it was already noon, Zhu Zhanji had eaten the lunch delivered by the imperial dining room.

Little Snot walked to Zhu Zhanji's side and said, "Your Highness, Commander of Jin Yiwei, Zhang Mao, please see me!"

Zhu Zhanji was drinking tea, and immediately nodded when he heard the words: "Let him in!"

Not long after, Zhu Zhanji saw Zhang Mao in a flying fish suit walking in!
Seeing Zhu Zhanji and Zhang Mao look respectful, he bowed and said:

"The last general, Zhang Mao, sees His Royal Highness the Grandson!"

"Well, get up!" Zhu Zhanji smiled at Zhang Mao, who hadn't seen him for two days, and said, "I've heard about your performance in Jinyiwei in the past two days. According to my decree, I will be in charge of everything in the Jinyiwei for the time being, and if there are no accidents, maybe after the emperor's Northern Expedition ends, you will be able to officially become the commander of the Jinyiwei!"

Zhang Mao's face became happy when he heard the words, and immediately said: "The last general thank you grandson for cultivating!"

Seeing him like this, Zhu Zhanji shook his head with a smile and said: "It's useless for me to cultivate you, you must have this ability, otherwise even if I let you sit in this seat, someone will drag you Go on, after all, there are not just one or two people staring at Jin Yiwei!"

Zhang Mao nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words, and immediately understood what Zhu Zhanji meant.

After all, Jin Yiwei's power is very huge, and it is impossible to sit in the position of commander without certain ability.

Not to mention far away, the current Jin Yiwei is under the control of Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui is a proper Hanwang party, and the Hanwang has always been at odds with the prince.

He had clearly joined the grandson, if he was sitting in the position of Jin Yiwei's commander, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui did nothing, he would never believe it anyway!

Zhu Zhanji saw that he understood, so he didn't say anything more. After all, there are things that can only be understood forever.

Then he asked, "By the way, you should have something to do here this time, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Mao then took out a booklet from his pocket, and handed it to Zhu Zhanji, saying, "Grandson, these are some of the vacant official positions that have been vacant since the general cleared up Ji Gang's party in the past two days and cleared them from Jinyiwei." list."

"Among them, there are two commanders, two town emissaries, five people from 24 households in the 49th, 70 people from 150 households, [-] people from [-] households, [-] people from [-] households, [-] people from the general banner, and [-] people from the small banner. The grandson has a look."

Zhu Zhanji took the booklet and didn't read it immediately, but asked first: "Have you sent it to the emperor?"

Zhang Mao heard the words and immediately said: "It has been sent, and the decree sent back says that everything is up to the grandson!"

Zhu Zhanji was stunned when he heard the words, a little confused, and asked subconsciously: "Let me be the master?"

Zhang Mao nodded: "That's indeed what the decree says, otherwise the last general wouldn't dare to send the list to His Royal Highness the Grandson!"

"Tsk tsk!"

Zhu Zhanji smacked his lips, feeling that Lao Zhu definitely didn't have good intentions here, allowing himself to insert people in Jinyiwei in an open and honest manner?
If he had been his own stupid father, he would have believed it. This unscrupulous grandpa of his own family, let it go!
After thinking about it, he asked, "Where is my third uncle? Didn't he send any news back?"

When Zhang Mao heard Zhu Zhanji talking about Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, his face suddenly became a little weird, and he paused before saying: "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang has been arranged by the emperor to raise horses!"

"Pfft!"

Hearing Zhang Mao's words, Zhu Zhanji couldn't hold back any more, and sprayed out the tea that he just drank in his mouth.

Then he coughed twice more, and then asked with an incredulous expression: "You said the emperor arranged for my third uncle to be Bi Mawen?"

Tsk, isn't the official position of raising horses the same as Bi Mawen?Bi Mawen avoids horse plague!
The dignified Zhao Wang actually went to be a Bi Mawen, that is, this matter has not been reported to the sky, otherwise Zhu Zhanji estimates that this is definitely the hottest topic in the Fireworks and Willow Lane in Yingtianfu tonight.

But don't underestimate the degree of gossip in these places in ancient times. It is not without reason that many organizations like to place hidden stakes in these places.

There are absolutely no fewer officials from various ministries who go in and out of these places every day!

Zhang Mao was not surprised to see Zhu Zhanji like this. In fact, he was almost like this when he just got the news.

After all, the emperor actually liked Zhao Wang's son very much, otherwise he would not have given Jin Yiwei to Zhao Wang for restraint.

But that's it, Zhao Wang was punished to be Bi Mawen, which is a bit unexpected.

After all, the official Bi Mawen is an official, but everyone who knows it knows that this is really a horse breeder. Except for a few military horses, half of the other people are not qualified to manage it!

Zhang Mao nodded and explained: "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang should be controlled by Ji Gang. After all, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang has been restraining the Jinyiwei before. When such a big event happened, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang can't be alone!"

Zhu Zhanji was stunned when he heard the words, and then he was a little disappointed and said: "It's a bit cheaper than my third uncle!"

After all, this is the Qianqing Palace, and there are people from Dongchang, so Zhang Mao didn't dare to answer the words, so he said in another way:

"I heard that the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War have increased military resources for the Northern Expedition, and even the Ministry of Industry has recently rushed to produce an extra [-] catties of gunpowder. Your Majesty is in a good mood!"

Zhu Zhanji naturally understood the meaning of Zhang Mao's words. It was implying to him that the emperor was in a good mood, so naturally he would not really deal with Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui!
At most, it's just pretending!

But Zhu Zhanji was not surprised, he actually knew his grandfather's temper.

As for his own sons, scaring is bluffing, and bluffing is bluffing, but if you want to say that you feel distressed, there will definitely be no less.

In this regard, Lao Zhu's family was actually greatly influenced by Lao Zhutou. Lao Zhutou was born as a farmer, and what he cared most about was family affection.

As the sons of the old Zhutou, before the death of the prince Zhu Biao, everyone was actually very peaceful.

That is to say, Zhu Yunxuan himself likes to play, not only does it, but also looks forward and backward when things happen. He played a good hand of cards to a pulp, and then gave his unscrupulous grandpa a chance!

As the saying goes, if you don't take what God gives, you will be blamed, and if the time is not right, you will suffer instead.

My eldest nephew forced him to eat pig food in the pigsty. If he didn't resist, the whole family would probably be over.

Then Zhu Di resisted. In fact, before the rebellion, Zhu Di himself had no hope.

He was just dying. After all, the cards in Emperor Jianwen's hand were not too powerful. With Wang Zhan in his hand, it would be trivial to deal with him!

But by a miracle, Zhu Di successfully rebelled.

But even so, Zhu Di actually felt a little guilty, not for Zhu Yunwen, but for Zhu Yuanzhang and his elder brother Zhu Biao!

So since Zhu Di came to the throne, he has followed the old Zhutou as an example in everything, even educating his sons.

In fact, he thought in his heart that after his death, he would be recognized by the old Zhutou after he went down!

So Zhu Zhanji was not surprised that his unscrupulous grandfather drove his third uncle to raise horses, which was a thunderous punishment.

After all, even if these are not mentioned, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui himself is actually a very capable general. Zhu Di's Northern Expedition actually had to rely on Han Wang and Zhao Wang in many cases.

But even so, Zhu Zhanji estimated that before the completion of the Northern Expedition material transfer, his third uncle would still have to obediently be Bi Mawen for a while!

Thinking of this, he felt better again, and then he seemed to understand why Zhu Di left the matter of Jin Yiwei to himself.

This is definitely comforting himself. After all, Ji Gang's incident was caused by him. It stands to reason that even if Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui was imprisoned, it would not be an exaggeration.

After all, Ji Gang was rebelling, but Zhu Gaosui was Ji Gang's immediate boss. If Zhu Gaosui didn't know anything about this matter, no dog would believe it.

In this way, Zhu Gaosui's intentions are naturally meaningful.

As long as Zhu Zhanji grasps this point and persists, Zhu Gaosui will definitely not fall well. Although he will not be beheaded directly, at least he will be a vassal directly, and at worst he will be imprisoned for life!
Zhu Di didn't do this, if anyone could have an opinion, it would be him!
Now that Jin Yiwei is handed over to himself, I have to say that it really scratched Zhu Zhanji's itch.

Without Zhu Di, even if he was greedy for Jinyiwei's rights, he would not be able to really intervene. Even if Zhang Mao was arranged, it would only be that Zhang Mao was originally a member of Jinyiwei!

But it's different now. Zhu Zhanji may hesitate to talk about other things, but when it comes to exchange and business, Zhu Zhanji feels that he is not weaker than nine tenths of Xia Yuanji!

"Cough cough!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji coughed, and then said to Zhang Mao: "Since the emperor handed over Jin Yiwei to me, you should bring up a list these days and arrange the vacant people as soon as possible!"

When Zhang Mao heard the words, his expression straightened, and he immediately said: "The last general takes orders!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Zhanji was very satisfied seeing him like this. He had no choice but to be a member of the British public family. As a member of the old Zhu's family, he naturally had a good impression of him.

Seeing Zhang Mao take the order, Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said:
"Although the matter of Jin Yiwei is important, since you are a member of the British Duke, I still hope that you can inherit the bravery of Rong Guogong and the British Duke, and expand the territory of Ming Dynasty for me on the battlefield!"

After a pause, Zhu Zhanji continued: "Yesterday, the Minister of the Ministry of War handed over a note to the emperor, imploring the emperor to let me build a young army, the number should be around 5000 people, if the emperor agrees, you will join this young army at that time." How about the army? But if that's the case, we need to arrange someone else to take charge of the Jinyiwei matter!"

Zhang Mao's expression didn't change when he heard the words, and he said directly: "The last general is arranged by His Royal Highness Taisun!"

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Well, yes, since you have no objection, then read more military books after you get down!"

However, when Zhang Mao heard the words, he did not leave immediately, but stopped for a while, thought about it and cupped his hands again, hesitatingly said:
"Grandson, there is one thing in the end that I don't know whether to say or not?"

　I saw two big bosses giving rewards again, and I am very grateful to the two big bosses, Fearless Soldier and Coke Youth, for their rewards. The little author can eat instant noodles and add eggs today, and I am full and grateful! ! !

　　In other words, let me update it. These days, there are chapters of 4000 words. Although it is one chapter, it is also the number of words in two chapters for most people. More than [-] words.
