People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

See the emperor?
The question is does the emperor want to see you?
Lao Zhang secretly smiled wryly in his heart, if it were under normal circumstances, Zhang Yi would be very willing to introduce him to the emperor.

But judging from the current situation, he doesn't know what to do?
It is impossible to recommend, Lao Zhang can only shirk:

"That's fine, but I've just been exiled to the Northland, so even if I have a chance, it will be a year later..."

Zhang Yi nodded, anyway, this matter is not urgent.

Zhu Yuanzhang still has nearly 30 years to be the emperor, and this matter will take 30 years at the earliest.

At that time, I am afraid that his father is no longer alive.

"Emperor Hongwu, you still have 30 years to live, father, you are one year younger than him, live well!"

Zhang Yi gave Lao Zhang a meaningful look, and Lao Zhang nodded silently.

If he can see the day when the Celestial Master is returned to Longhu Mountain, he can work hard to live...

"You said that the emperor could endure not to kill Yang Xian, because of what interests?"

"Of course, the pirate case..."

Zhang Yi didn't show off, and told Lao Zhang directly:

"Most wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River have a tradition of going out to sea for trade. This kind of business is not supervised by the imperial court, and the income will not be included in taxes by the imperial court. As far as the country is concerned, this has become a burden rather than a tax source!
However, they still support the bandits and harass the coastal defense!

So this time the emperor took advantage of the great victories in Jiaozhou and Jiangsu to clean up...

The emperor himself was not friendly to the people in these places, but he didn't have an excuse to make a name for himself before!

This time, if he doesn't rectify the coastal area, he won't be able to justify it!
When the butcher knife falls, not only will people's heads fall to the ground, but the money bags of these wealthy households will also fall into the hands of the imperial court!

It's just that after this massacre, the relationship between the wealthy households in Jiangnan and the emperor has deteriorated even more...

I hope Uncle Huang can listen to my advice and escape this catastrophe! "

Zhang normal thought of the tragedy that was about to happen in Jiangnan, and couldn't help but shudder.

"If His Majesty continues to kill like this, isn't he afraid that the people's hearts will be unstable?"

"Isn't there a scapegoat..."

Zhang Yi grinned, and Zhang's normal pupils shrank slightly.

Yang Xian...

Is Yang Xian the one who takes the place of the dead?
"He has the right way to kill himself, but he can let the emperor eat two fish!
Sure enough, following Emperor Hongwu is more dangerous than following any emperor! "

The topic is over here.

Zhang Normal didn't have the courage to ask what happened next.

Right now, he just wants to heal his wounds well, and leave Beidi as soon as possible after ten days and half a month...

The capital is too dangerous, he would rather go to the north to brag with Chang Yuchun.

"Father, do you ever remember that you still have one task to complete?"

After Zhang Normal expressed his emotion, Zhang Yi reminded him in a low voice:

"Monks and Taoists pay taxes..."

……

The palace, the imperial study.

Zhu Yuanzhang was checking the files sent by the school.

Regarding the battle records along the coast of Jiaozhou and Suzhou, he repeatedly took them out to watch.

As for the situation in Fujian and Guangdong, Lao Zhu also made arrangements.

Under his calculation, the problem of Japanese pirates in the coastal provinces of Ming Dynasty was temporarily solved...

The loss of nearly 1 people can indeed deter the robbers at sea.

However, according to Zhang Yi's statement, this is still only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.

Although the morale of the Xuanwu Army has improved, it still cannot solve the fundamental problem.

The problem of Japanese pirates, one is the war in Japan, which led to many wandering samurai going to sea, providing me with a new force. On the other hand, the smuggling of Ming Dynasty is serious. resource.

Until the Daming navy develops or can solve Japan's problems, there is no possibility of rooting out this matter.

"Ten years, give me ten years...

This matter must be resolved! "

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that time was still not enough, and Daming's recuperation was imminent.

Therefore, the sea ban should still be banned.

In fact, in this pirate incident, he has already taken advantage of the problem and closed the Shibo Department in Taicang.

If the other two city shipping departments are also closed, the Ming Dynasty's sea ban will be completely started.

However, it is not so easy to get a sea ban...

Zhu Yuanzhang came to think for a long time, and temporarily put the matter aside.

From the Suzhou case, he thought of another thing.

"Biao'er, do you think the power of the school inspector is too small?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and asked Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao was stunned, and immediately thought about the meaning of his father's words?
"This trip to Jiaozhou and Suzhou, I have already noticed this problem!

The inspection book is my separate eyes and ears apart from the officials!

But this time, I discovered a lot of things, they can only watch, but there are many unreasonable things.

For example, the Suzhou fire, if the school inspectors had authority, they wouldn't have to just stare on! "

Zhu Biao was silent when he heard the words.

Father Huang once compared the three powers of scholar-bureaucrats with brothers, feet, ears, eyes and tongue.

If you are not a minister, your eyes and ears will be blinded, you will be speechless, and your hands will be tied.

The emperor's father set up the inspection school to let them find eyes and ears for the king outside of the officials.

And after meeting Zhang Yi, the school inspector actually gradually assumed a responsibility, which is to guide public opinion for the emperor, which is the right of tongue...

If the royal father is still not satisfied...

Then Zhu Biao smelled a dangerous smell.

"Father, you are going to turn the inspection school into another court...

Father Anzhi, won't this system backfire on you? "

When Lao Zhu heard this, he began to think selfishly.

"Officials and officials protect each other, and I don't know how many of my government orders will be fully implemented!
The Suzhou case shouldn't have happened, I could have used the pirates in Suzhou to catch more people..."

The pirate case was a rare opportunity for Zhu Yuanzhang.

If it is used well, it can indeed weaken local power and collect a large amount of taxes.

Even when he was King Wu, he had never been so blatant when he went to those people to "borrow military expenses".

However, Lao Zhu didn't trust those people below.

According to the news from the inspection school, there are quite a few people who went to Yang Xian's mansion alone...

Yang Xian!

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, he wrote his name on the paper, and ticked it off with a red stamp.

With Zhu Biaozhuo's interruption, Jin Yiwei was almost born, after all, it was the emperor who suppressed this idea.

After experiencing the Fengtian Temple incident, Yang Xian's behavior of suppressing dissidents finally restrained.

However, his authority is still much greater because of the pirate case.

Especially at the local level, Prime Minister Yang is not allowed to nod his head, and many local officials cannot escape the blame.

……

"Three thousand people have been killed,
This is not counting the people who are sitting in a row..."

In such a situation where everyone is in danger, anyone who has anything to do with the pirate case chooses to stay behind closed doors.

In the past few days, Comrade Zhang has also recuperated at home.

However, Zhang Yi was more active than his father. After sending his father back, he went to Xu's mansion to thank him the next day.

After having a conversation with Mrs. Xie, he went to Guanhai Bookstore again.

Knowing from Gao Jianxian's mouth that the Huang family and his son are fine, Zhang Yi let out a sigh of relief.

The old Huang's family was able to escape this catastrophe, which also benefited from Lao Huang's foresight.

He planned to live in Yingtian since last year, and he was persuaded to go to the north to buy property...

Zhang Yi still remembers that this uncle seems to have emigrated because of Brother Huang...

It is also this wave of operations, probably Lao Huang's property in Wudi is not too much, plus sending Huang Ying and the others to sea!
This is probably a dodge.

Everyone around him was fine, and Zhang Yi was very happy. He went to Xu Cunren's house to visit Xu Cunren who had just been released by the Ministry of Punishment, but he met Kong Na.

Naturally, the old Confucian family had nothing to do with this turmoil, and no one would embarrass Kong Na.

The two came out of Xu Cunren's house. Since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Zhang Yi simply changed into common clothes, and the two went out for dinner.

During the banquet, when Kong Na said this, Zhang Yi wanted to laugh that he had never seen the world. Compared with the four Hongwu cases of Kongyin, Guo Heng, Hu Weiyong, and Lanyu, the pirate case was far behind.

But when he thought of 3000 people, that would be bloody lives, Zhang Yi lowered his head and accompanied Kong Na in silent tribute.

Even in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Nanzhili, Fujian and other places, there are only a few merchants and landlords who really participated in the piracy business.

But he also understood that this matter should come to an end.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill people, he had to consider whether it would provoke a civil uprising.

"On your Shandong side, there are very few people who died..."

The rich households in the coastal areas count as one, and their buttocks are basically not very clean.

But the north is indeed much less than the south, Zhang Yi admits this.

The two were chatting casually, but they met an acquaintance.

The person who can haunt the Drunken Immortal Building is naturally Chen Ke.

"So it's Young Master Kong, and Brother Zhang is also here..."

When Chen Ke saw Kong Na, he came over to say hello.

Seeing him coming out of the private room, Zhang Yi smiled and said:
"Which fairy is the shopkeeper Chen entertaining? I don't know how the business is doing recently?"

Compared to Kong Na's politeness, Chen Ke is also willing to talk to Zhang Yi:

"Don't mention it, little brother Zhang, brother, my business has plummeted recently..."

"how?"

Zhang Yi and Kong Na became interested and asked.

Chen Ke sighed and said:
"The wind and rain are turbulent outside, and people are panicking. How can anyone here care about the old man's business?
Half of the customers in this year's auction house have gone to Huangquan..."

After all, it was still influenced by the pirate case, and the two suddenly realized that they sympathized with Chen Ke's plight.

Not to mention most of the rich households in the world, it is certain that a small half come from wealthy households along the coast.

How much money can farming make?
Overseas trade is the huge profit. Those rich households who have made money come to spend in Tianfu, and naturally make a lot of money for people like Chen Ke.

But now the emperor kills kills...

Those who killed were all the customers of his business.

It is not surprising that Chen Ke is depressed. Recently, the most profitable business in his business is actually his subordinate Jinling Bookstore.

Listening to Fatty Chen complaining, Kong Na naturally comforted him, but his stupid mouth didn't help much.

Instead, Zhang Yi changed the subject and said with a smile:
"Look at the shopkeeper, you still have the heart to drink, and you don't think it will hurt your muscles and bones!"

"Don't mention it, it's just drinking with someone to relieve their worries. By the way, if you two are free, why don't you go together?"

Chen Ke made a tentative request.

Kong Na asked, "I don't know where shopkeeper Chen entertained the distinguished guests?"

"It's not worth talking about distinguished guests. They are all business partners. They also admire you very much. I don't know if you are willing to show respect?"

"This one……"

Kong Na didn't want to, but he was thin-skinned, and Chen Ke grabbed him with a few words, and got up and went to the private room.

As a [servant], Zhang Yi naturally wants to go with his master.

After entering the private room, Zhang Yi saw a rich old man sitting in the seat of host and guest.

Chen Ke complemented him, and he didn't even suppress the old man physically.

Seeing Chen Ke ushering in, the old man got up immediately, showing a naive smile:

"Brother Chen, who are these two?"

"Kong Na, the 57th grandson of the Confucian Mansion, Master Kong, I told you!

This is his bookboy Zhang Sanfeng, who is also my friend! "

Chen Ke was tactful, not only pointing out Kong Na's identity, distinguishing between priorities, but also emphasizing Zhang Yi's specialness, and not neglecting anyone.

When the old man heard the words, he laughed and said:

"It turned out to be the young master of the Kong family, the old man Shen Xiu, who met the young master Kong..."

Kong Na had never heard of Shen Xiu's name, but Zhang Yi heard it like thunder.

Isn't this the legendary Shen Wansan?

The last time he was at the auction house, he wondered if the Shen family would have this legendary patriarch?
Regarding the year of Shen Wansan's birth and death, there is actually quite a controversy in history. In the time and space where Zhang Yi lived, historians tend to think that he was actually dead.

However, history is blurred, after all, you have to witness it with your own eyes to count. After seeing this person, Zhang Yi naturally found the historical materials corresponding to his records.

Legend!

"So it's Master Shen, sorry!"

The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and Shen Wansan immediately showed the legendary arrogance.

"Brother Chen is not on the road, and he suddenly welcomed a distinguished guest without notifying Shen, the old man even forgot to prepare the meeting ceremony!
Shen Rong, pick a few items from the list of gifts I gave to the Yang Mansion!

By the way, prepare one for this little brother! "

Shen Wansan waved a middle-aged man to go down to get something, Kong Na hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Master Shen, you are being polite! Gentlemen are not loved by many, let alone..."

Unexpectedly, Shen Wansan said:

"Master Kong, don't be polite to Lao Shen, I may not be able to send these things out, maybe they will be other things in a few days...

Instead of cheap officials, it is better to use it to form a good relationship, and how many friends you know that you can talk to! "

Although he said dejected words, there was a trace of open-mindedness in Lao Shen's tone.

This kind of personality can quickly get closer to others.

Kong Na suddenly felt that Master Shen was very approachable, he was not deeply involved in the world, so he took the initiative to ask:
"Why did Master Shen say that?"

"It's not about the pirate case. Brother Kong may not have heard the name of Master Shen. He comes from Zhouzhuang Shenxiu, nicknamed Shen Wansan, and some good people named him the richest man in Jiangnan..."

Chen Ke took the initiative to help Shen Xiu express his thoughts.

Only then did Kong Na and Zhang Yi suddenly realize that after the pirate case, everyone who had anything to do with the captured pirates was almost dead.

Next, the imperial court has a tendency to expand indistinctly.

The name of the Shen family in Zhouzhuang looks like a piece of fat, so it's no wonder that others don't pay attention to it.

It's no wonder that Master Shen is worried, this matter fell on Shen's family, it is indeed similar to death...

"The Shen family should have their own backing if they can grow big, right?"

Kong Na didn't know how to comfort Shen Wansan, but asked.

Shen Wansan smiled bitterly when he heard the words:

"Yes, but they probably all went to Lord Yan to get reports..."

"Wait, Master Shen, are you going to send these gift lists to Yang Xian?"

When everyone was chatting, Zhang Yi asked each other excitedly.

Sending it to Yang Xian, doesn't that mean that this is evidence of Yang Xian's collection of money? (end of this chapter)
