People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 293 The Great Immigrant, Capture Shen Wan Alive 3

Zhang Yi was stunned, did Uncle Huang not understand what he meant?
Shen Xiu's current situation is like the fish on Yang Xian's chopping board, and the family may be ransacked and wiped out at any time.

He is a businessman, what's the use of provoking this man?

Zhu Yuanzhang saw his doubts and explained with a smile:

"This man is confused, he has a lot of business under his hands, if we can talk to him, maybe we can get some share!
Whether he lives or dies!

Business is always to be done, and, how do you know that I have no way to help him? "

The person behind Lao Huang has always been a mystery, and Zhang Yi actually made insinuations, but no matter if it was the girl from the Xu family, Zhu Biao and Lao Zhang laughed and said nothing.

Zhu Yuanzhang's inadvertent burst of self-confidence made Zhang Yi thoughtful.

But since Uncle Huang is willing to provoke this matter, he must be sure.

"Uncle's way, wouldn't it be Yang Xian's way?"

Zhang Yi's tricky probing, Lao Zhu remained calm:

"What if it is, what if it isn't?"

"The cunning rabbit is dead, the dog is cooking! If uncle is following Yang Xian's path, it's best to stay away from him...

If you follow the path of the Eastern Zhejiang School, you have to be careful..."

Zhang Yi knew that Lao Huang was very afraid of his backing, so he didn't ask further, he just reminded him kindly.

Old Zhu smiled and said:

"You kid, you didn't predict that Yang Xian would be defeated, but he is still alive and well, which is a disgrace to your god.

Why, this time he is going to predict his death again...? "

The poem Zhongshan Wolf was written by Zhang Yiwei to set up the gods and gods.

After Zhang Yi's mother died, his reputation rose a lot.

In the court hall, there were many people watching whether Yang Xian, who was predicted by the little god, would arrive as scheduled.

But what waited was that Yang Xian was more and more favored by His Majesty.

Zhang Yi was a little embarrassed. The appearance of this butterfly effect made him more careful about what he predicted in the future.

But regarding Yang Xian's death, he is still sure: "

"It's coming soon..."

"How fast is it?"

Seeing his embarrassment on purpose, Lao Zhu made fun of him.

Zhang Yi sighed:

"I reckon that when the emperor eats one fish and two, it will be almost the same!"

"One fish and two meals?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart tightened, did this kid guess what he was thinking again?

Good boy, is he the roundworm in his stomach?

"Uncle, should you know what happened to me and my father a few days ago?"

"Ok!"

It is inconvenient for Zhu Yuanzhang to express too many opinions on this issue, so he just nodded.

"I also said something about this in the letter to you, but after my father came out, he told me about the incident in the court..."

Zhang Yi told everything about what happened in Fengtian Temple, and he did not hold back anything about the analysis.

Tucao and analysis of Zhu Yuanzhang is his repertoire.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his son looked at each other when they heard the words.

The kid guessed right.

The so-called "one fish, two meals" is to use Yang Xian to rectify the land in the south of the Yangtze River. This time the rectification is well-known, but there is no lack of old Zhu's selfish desire to attack dissidents.

The influence of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River is really too great.

Even if Lao Zhu wins the world, he will inevitably reach a certain degree of compromise with these people.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Zhang Yi, Liu Bowen and others are all the spokespersons of the gentry...

In this patriarchal society, behind the scholars, there are often these clan relatives.

At other times, if Lao Zhu wants to move these people, he also has to worry about the stability of the people in the world?

Move them rashly, but it will trigger a civil uprising.

But with the title of Pirate Case, it's different...

This is a good opportunity for him to kill people while winning the hearts of the people.

It is also because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted them when Liu Bowen used Lao Zhang to take the opportunity to report Yang Xian in Fengtian Hall.

He was still reluctant to put away the knife, the storm was far from over.

But the wind and rain will eventually subside. After the wind and rain pass, how should Yang Xian deal with him?

One fish and two meals, this guy is the backer who was pushed out by the emperor.

He is the abandoned son of Youyou's mouth in Pingtianxia.

Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to reuse Yang Xian and give the northerners a way on the road of bridging the north and the south, but what he did violated the emperor's bottom line.

It is obviously not in his own interest to let Yang Xian work for a few more years.

In other words, the harm Yang Xian left behind has exceeded the benefits he can bring to the emperor...

Although Lao Zhu wanted to do this, he didn't show a single bit of it, and he didn't even admit it directly to Zhu Biao.

But this kid actually guessed it?

"So, the boy is actually very attracted to Shen Wansan, after all, I also want Yang Xian to die...

I'm still wondering if I should introduce him to Liu Ji..."

puff!
Zhu Biao almost laughed out loud, Zhang Yi was probably serious about killing Yang Xian.

"Then why don't you do it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Yi shrugged:

"First of all, I don't need to lose my identity as a book boy for Shen Wansan. Second, it's not the right time. Before the emperor is full...Even if there is evidence, the emperor will turn a blind eye. This matter will make the other party vigilant...

However, it is very difficult for Shen Wansan to hold out until the emperor takes action, this guy is too fat, even if he wants to hide it, he may not be able to hide it..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was thoughtful, and at this time the carriage had arrived at the place where they often stayed, Guanhai Bookstore.

The three got out of the car and walked to the backyard. Zhu Biao went to deal with business matters, while Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Yi continued to chat.

"Do you think Shen Wansan is innocent?"

"I have to ask Uncle about this. On land, the Shen family's reputation is still good, but at sea, who knows how much blood they have stained?

Of course, you can't wrong people, and there are indeed people who do business honestly..."

Zhang Yi didn't brag or criticize, and thought he answered Lao Zhu's question very objectively.

Zhu Yuanzhang had an idea in his mind. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to meet Shen Wansan.

Although he already had the intention of giving up on Yang Xian, he really wanted to know how much money Yang Xian made down there?
"I understand!"

When Lao Zhu saw Shen Wansan, he didn't need Zhang Yi to recommend him, and he didn't continue to entangle on this issue.

He changed the subject and asked about Zhang Yi's current situation. Zhang Yi replied a few words, and the two chatted about one thing.

"Taicang City's shipping department is closed, and this sea ban may be brought forward..."

Zhang Yi reminded Lao Zhu that the closure of the Taicang Shipping Department represented that the emperor had opened the sea ban ahead of time. The butterfly effect of history was no match for the inertia of history after all.

When Zhang Yi heard about the pirate case, he also wondered whether Lao Zhu would change his mind about the sea ban.

But Zhu Yuanzhang finally embarked on the track that history should have.

However, the opening of the sea ban does not mean that it will be closed immediately after a decree...

From the original closure of the Taicang shipping department in the third year of Hongwu to the closure of the shipping department in Guangzhou, Mingzhou, and Quanzhou in the seventh year of Hongwu, the sea ban really began.

Of course, Daming's sea ban actually maintains a certain amount of trade between the government and overseas, and only prohibits private people from going to sea.

In other words, the biggest source of wealth for those rich households in the south of the Yangtze River will disappear with the emperor's decree.

Maybe there are those who don't believe in evil, and they will smuggle.

But as the court's ban gradually became stricter, these people could only submit in the end.

One of the great reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang is hated by scholars is that this sea ban probably cannot escape...

Cut off people's wealth and kill their parents!
The area around Jiangsu and Zhejiang is a place of prosperity, so it is no wonder that scholars of later generations do not poke at the backbone of the old Zhu family.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also silent. He also hesitated whether to implement the sea ban, but after the Qingming victory, he felt more and more that Daming was not prepared enough.

Instead of being exhausted at sea, it is better to recharge your batteries for a few years, wait for the American fleet to come back, and wait for the Ming navy warship to launch...

"It's just that the sea ban policy has come down, and the big immigration is about to start!

Uncle, you ran away early, you are actually lucky..."

"The big immigrant?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhang Yi for a long time without saying a word. This idea had just formed in his mind, and this guy knew it too.

"After the sea ban, immigration is a must, especially in places like Zhejiang, where there are seven mountains, one water and two fields, and it is too difficult for the people to rely on farming for a living!
Non-coastal landlords like to go to sea, but land restrictions, everyone will have no way to survive if they don't go out!
Now that the emperor has banned shipping, don't you want to immigrate next?

However, in many places in Nanzhili, the fields have been barren and the villages have disappeared.

From the perspective of recuperation, immigration is also necessary...

Maybe, the emperor wants to move a little more people to the north, and there may be even more people to move..."

Zhu Yuanzhang quietly listened to Zhang Yi saying:
"From the perspective of the stability of the world, killing a group of wealthy households can indeed reduce class conflicts. The contradictions in this world basically come from the annexation of land by the rich and bureaucrats. However, after the emperor killed these people, the land released was still not enough for the Shanghai ban. The loss caused by...

As far as Zhejiang, Fujian and other places are concerned, if they cannot rely on maritime trade, the people will suffer...

It is also a strategy to transfer the people who have no land and no land to the place where the fields are barren! "

Zhu Yuanzhang asked:

"What about the future, after the world is stabilized, won't the people in these places still face the tragedy of having no land to cultivate?"

Zhang Yi replied:
"If the court had no solution at that time, it would naturally be a change of dynasty. If the court cannot support the people under its rule, wouldn't it be natural for the people to rebel?

This is the case in a society dominated by agriculture, unless the imperial court develops industry and commerce and makes industry and commerce the main source of tax revenue!

Code copying that cannot solve the problem of food and employment will definitely change the world.

If we go out to sea and bring back sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., maybe we can extend Daming’s life for decades..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was thoughtful, he already understood how he should choose.

The sea ban must be enforced. This is a national policy. Before that, as Zhang Yi said, first clean up those merchants and gentry who raise pirates and tax evaders, and then implement the immigration policy.

"It's just that Yang Xian's nonsense, there may be many people who shouldn't die, but those who deserve to die will escape!"

Zhang Yi did not forget to sigh with emotion, and Lao Zhu's heart moved:
"They messed around like this, why didn't anyone complain?"

Zhang Yi said:
"There must be, but it's just that the officials protect each other and set up barriers at every level. Even if the people have a voice, it will not reach the emperor's ears.

Even if there is, we must pay attention to evidence in everything, and see if the emperor takes it..."

The king has the helplessness of the king, and Zhu Yuanzhang seems to have made up his mind.

The two didn't talk for long at this gathering. Huang He obviously had something to do, and Zhang Yi could tell.

After agreeing to change to visit Lao Zhang, Zhang Yi left.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time, went to the backyard, took out a piece of paper, and wrote down the words Jin Yiwei.

Zhang Yi didn't know, because of his appearance, an organization came out more than ten years ahead of schedule.

"Gao Jianxian!"

Zhu Biao was trying to understand the information gathered by the inspection school today, but Lao Zhu called Gao Jianxian over:

"Go and check, where does a Zhouzhuang businessman named Shen Xiu live in Yingtian Mansion?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, what should I do after I find it?"

"Take advantage of the night to tie their father and son to see me, but don't let people notice..."

"His Majesty……"

Gao Jianxian was dumbfounded. Strictly speaking, the scope of this job has exceeded the scope of the school's responsibilities.

Bind a person in Yingtian Mansion, and then gave it to the emperor?

Isn't the emperor in the palace at night?

"I will make it easier for you, but can you handle things well?"

"Your Majesty, I must fulfill my mission!"

Gao Jianxian is not a fool, he vaguely understands that there is a great opportunity in the emperor's order...

……

Night, Yingtianfu.

In a small courtyard, Shen Xiu, the richest man in Jiangnan, looked up at the moon and sighed endlessly.

"Father, we have gone through many paths, but we haven't found a way to give gifts...

A while ago, someone knocked on the door of the Yang Mansion, and there is really no way around it these days!
If there is no more news, let's go back..."

"Go back and wait to die? Or follow some people and flee to the sea?"

Shen Wansan turned his head and looked at his son Shen Rong coldly.

Shen Rong didn't dare to speak for a moment.

"That's why I said, our family doesn't have a scholar, and this Nuoda family property doesn't have a guardian. If there is any disturbance, we will be terrified!

I have spent so much money over the years raising the children in my family.Just pointing to Kai Enke, you can give me a talent, but you..."

He was blaming his son when suddenly the two heard movement outside.

After all, Shen Wansan was a businessman who had traveled all over the world for many years and had seen the world, so he immediately realized something was wrong.

"It seems that a thief broke in..."

"Father, no way, this is Yingtian..."

Shen Rong hadn't finished speaking, but found that there were people approaching quickly from all directions.

Not long after, the two were surrounded by groups.

Looking at the knives in their hands, Shen Rong was so frightened that he almost screamed in the night sky.

"Crack!"

Someone was quick, and he passed out with a slap on the back of the knife.

Only Shen Wansan, a big fat man, was left behind, his breath was cloudy, but he did not faint.

"Shut up, I can save your life, take it down!"

Before Shen Wansan could react, he was trapped in a sack and knocked unconscious.

When he woke up, he didn't know where he was.

It's just that the surrounding weeds are overgrown, and it seems to be a dilapidated yard.

A part of the yard was cleaned up, and Shen Wansan was lying in the middle of the yard.

Most of the men in black who kidnapped him were nearby at this time.

When Shen Wansan was frightened, he saw a figure reflected on the window sill in the room in front of him.

"Are you Shen Xiu, a rich man in the south of the Yangtze River?"

The man's voice was neither soft nor heavy, but it fell on Shen Xiu's ears like thunder.

"who are you?"

"The person who can save your life..." (end of this chapter)
