Chapter 68
Zhang Youwen knew only a limited amount of official secrets, so he couldn't think of a reasonable explanation for Chen Yong's misfortune.

But for the sake of [-] acres of high-quality irrigated fields, Zhang Youwen agreed: "Master Hu wants to give Zhang a family property, but Zhang will be disrespectful."

Hu Hanshan was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Zhang Youwen to agree. Winning over a follower like Zhang Youwen who has been recorded in history will involve his important life-saving plan in the future.

Hu Hanshan put the title deed of the top-quality irrigated fields back into the Hesui pattern purse, and said happily: "Let's demolish this place and rebuild it."

"Brother Wentai, there's nothing else to do with you, you'd better go back to the Imperial College to study."

Tan Tanweng has been struggling with him for so many years, and finally agreed to let him take the provincial examination, which is to enter the officialdom. Liu Wentai attaches great importance to the rural examination: "Then go back first, if there are other things to do."

"Brother, you can just send someone to the Imperial College directly."

Hu Hanshan patted Liu Wentai on the shoulder hard, and asked Hu Er to go to Dazhong Bridge East Street to grab an official sedan chair at random, and sent the helpless Liu Wentai back to the Imperial College.

Hu Hanshan took Zhang Youwen, Li Jun and others to start a big fight, but he needed to go to the internal official prison first, and brought the craftsmen who repaired the official ditch.

Neiguanjian is one of the twelve prisons, responsible for building palaces, mausoleums, as well as copper and tin dowry, utensils and ice storage.

Compared with the palm print eunuchs of the Four Divisions and Eight Bureaus, the power is much greater, and the small officials who guard the gate are even more defiant.

Hu Er was worried that the young master would lose face, so he came to the door of the eunuch's house in Zhengyangmen, and knocked on the door first.

Hu Hanshan glared at him, and walked over in a big way.

Just when Hu Hanshan was about to kick open the side door, he kicked the arrogant little official by the way.

The little eunuch opened the side door, there was no condescending shouting or cursing, only a smile on his face: "Master Hu is here, the villain and the eunuch with palm prints of the Xixin Division are godbrothers."

"The villain's brother-in-law has already told him that when Mr. Hu comes, he must serve him attentively."

Hu Hanshan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He wanted to be arrogant and domineering for a while, but it's a pity that he didn't give him the chance.

While letting Hu Hanshan in, the little eunuch made an exception and let him bring his master Zhang Youwen in, and at the same time invited Hu Er, Li Jun and others into the inverted room for tea.

The other little officials in the inverted room had doubts on their fair, beardless faces.

"Boss, what's the matter today, just open the door yourself, and let outsiders come in for tea."

"The boss is a little abnormal. In the past, when the little prince came here, he collected a lot of money from the Ming Dynasty, and the people around him could only stamp their feet outside in the cold wind."

"Look, that one seems to be Hu Er next to Master Hu."

The little eunuchs gathered around the charcoal basin to warm up the fire, and after seeing Hu Er, they all understood that it was Hu Hanshan who had been ordered by the eunuch who was in charge of cherishing the salary to take good care of him.

The eunuchs only looked at the face of Emperor Hongwu alone. For officials in the court, whether it was the left prime minister Hu Weiyong or the right prime minister Wang Guangyang, they would not give face if they wanted to.

However, the eunuch in charge of Xixin is the godson of the chief eunuch, so he has to take care of Hu Hanshan with all his heart.

In particular, the palm print eunuch said that Hu Hanshan treated these eunuchs as human beings, which made the eunuchs feel good.

"Go, bring a pot of charcoal fire, and warm it up for Mr. Hu's cronies."

Li Jun and the other inspectors at the Tongji Gate knew that the eunuchs were not easy to mess with, so they planned to just take shelter from the cold wind at the door of the inverted room, but they didn't expect the eunuchs to bring them a pot of charcoal fire.

Hu Er hurried forward and stuffed a lot of [-] Wen Daming banknotes.

"Brother Hu, come and sit here, let's have a few drinks."

Hu Er didn't dislike the eunuchs being eunuchs, and felt that it was bad luck, so he hurried over to drink with the eunuchs, thinking if he could get some useful news for the young master.

Hu Hanshan followed the young eunuch to the main hall, and the eunuch, who happened to be on leave for ten days, walked in from the back hall.

The eunuch of the internal government official said in an official tone: "If Hu Xiaoqi is a craftsman for repairing the official ditch, then he will go directly to the office of the internal official's prison in the future, instead of using the private house of a miscellaneous family."

Hu Hanshan sat on the flower pear official hat chair with a big face: "How is the craftsman's preparations, and how much is left for the carpenter."

The chief eunuch of the internal government had a good impression of Hu Hanshan because of the fact that his son was in charge of the eunuch's salary, so he put on a merciless look.

The eunuch knew clearly that Emperor Hongwu was most jealous of foreign ministers colluding with eunuchs in the palace, and the person who exposed Chen Yong's use of repairing the official ditch was the eunuch.

The eunuch continued to speak in an official tone: "There are not many carpenters to repair the official ditch, only the masons who build the palace are left. I don't know how many Hu Xiaoqi needs."

Carpenters were mainly used to repair the official ditch, and the masons who built the palace were of little use.

Hu Hanshan knew in his heart that Chen Yong must have done it secretly, so he took the carpenter away first.

Hu Hanshan didn't go to repair the Guangou, but needed masons to build houses: "I want all the remaining masons."

After finishing speaking, Hu Hanshan ignored the bewildered eunuch and went back happily.

The eunuch was full of words, but didn't say a word.

In fact, a carpenter has already been reserved for Hu Hanshan, after all, the godson has already come here in person and said good things.

However, in order to reassure Emperor Hongwu, the eunuch was going to hand over the carpenter after he had made up his mind.

But before the chief eunuch could speak, Hu Hanshan left as soon as he asked the mason.

The eunuch was stunned for a moment, he didn't want his godson to complain about him, besides, Hu Hanshan was kind to his godson, so he had to be kind.

On the contrary, the eunuch was anxious: "Well, Young Master Hu, in fact, there are still eunuchs."

Before he finished speaking, he remembered that there was a member of Jin Yiwei in the house, and the eunuch could only take back the words that were clearly considered for Hu Hanshan.

The little eunuchs were close to Hu Hanshan, and even the eunuchs of the four divisions and eight bureaus had nothing to do with being close to Hu Hanshan. They would think that they were afraid of the power of the left prime minister Hu Weiyong.

Only the chief eunuch of the twelve prisons can't.

Hu Hanshan took a strange look at the eunuch, who was half-spoken, and saw that he stopped talking again, and walked out of the main hall.

The eunuch watched Hu Hanshan leave, not only did not help him, but also caused him trouble.

Feeling a little owed, I thought of allocating more money to Hu Hanshan as a make up.

As long as the errands assigned by Emperor Hongwu are done well, rewards are indispensable.

Hu Hanshan got the documents to dispatch the internal officials to supervise the craftsmen, and quickly transferred the masons without stopping.

On the same day, the house of the three Yuanwailang and another official at the intersection was completely demolished.

They didn't pay them a penny, and they really took over the houses of the officials.
