People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 380 Zhang Yi's News, I Miss Him

“Brother Zhang’s family once said that if you want the world to have long-lasting peace and stability, there are only two ways to satisfy the people of the world’s employment and advancement paths!

The employment map shows food and clothing, while the rising channel is hope...

As far as the prince is concerned, the only path they can hope for is the throne that is within reach.

It's good to even think about it!
But in our family, all the thoughts of the younger brothers have been blocked by you, father.

Then, it is easy for them to fall into the confusion of not knowing why to work hard..."

Zhu Biaoneng repeated Zhang Yi's remarks back then, and Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little confused when he heard them again.

"This is the heart disease of all younger brothers, but everyone's ability to bear it is different.

The third and fourth children are still at an ignorant age, and compared to their second brother, the throne is still a little far away for them!

Father actually understands this truth, and the way father handles these matters.

Based on the concept of family, with brotherhood, to fill in the emotions that the children of the Tian family did not have in the past.

We are a family, this is what the father told us.

But now the father made the second younger brother a victim of a political marriage, and reminded him to be a political tool!

Maybe if it were someone else, he would be able to accept it.

But second brother, if he doesn't accept it, what should the father do? "

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned green and pale after being told by Zhu Biao.

He agrees with what Zhu Biao said, and realizes the mistakes he made.

Regarding the rhetoric of employment and rising channels, he had actually heard it back then.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not ignorant of Zhu Xi's demons.

But not long ago, he forgot about this relationship and pushed Zhu Xi to the level of a tool man.

Every member of the royal family, while enjoying the benefits brought to you by the royal family, also bears the responsibility of a tool person.

Marriage is already one of the most gentle means.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought he was doing the right thing, but he also ignored the demonic obstacles in his second child's heart.

You use family affection to maintain the balance between the princes, but at the critical moment, you sacrifice Zhu Xi as a tool.

No wonder Zhu Xi couldn't bear it.

"Ugh……"

"Father, everyone in the world understands that you are advocating this marriage because you want to win over Wang Baobao. Is there anything wrong with that? In fact, it is also true...

But you ignored the second brother's thoughts, and also ignored the thoughts of Guanyin Nu!

The female minister has also seen that woman, she is indeed dignified and beautiful, and she behaves in a dignified manner.

But people also look down on the second brother?

Father once arranged for us to contact her, that girl has her pride in her heart, she really despises our second child..."

"Why can't she look down on it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy to hear this.

Lao Zhu is a person who protects his weaknesses, no matter how much he wants to recruit Wang Baobao, he still likes the child Guanyinnu.

But there is a difference between closeness and closeness, which father would not be inclined to his own child, let alone someone with double standards like Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Although the second son is a bit stubborn, he is not worthy of him. Even if the second son is not top-notch in martial arts, he can still be considered a pass...

Not to mention the waste of Changmao in the Changfu, if the second child is placed among those princes' children, the second child can be considered the top choice, right?

She is a captive Guanyin slave, how dare she look down on my son? "

Zhu Yuanzhang sometimes became self-willed, like a child.

Zhu Biao secretly smiled, but did not answer.

Lao Zhu remembered that when he asked Guanyin Nu last time, Guanyin Nu replied that loyalty and filial piety are the greatest...

She revealed her decision to marry her, but she refused Zhu Yuanzhang's offer of marriage on the grounds that her relatives had just died and she wanted to be filial.

Old Zhu liked this smart daughter very much, and thought she was good enough to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family.

Although Yu Li disagreed, Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on getting them married despite everyone's opposition.

Who knows, it's fine for Guanyinnu to object, but Zhu Xi's reaction is even bigger...

If you don't agree with each other, you don't agree with each other.

Forcibly matching, but will ruin Zhu Xi's life?
He could not trust anyone, but he could not trust that child.

Thinking of Zhang Yi, Lao Zhu couldn't help asking:

"I haven't heard about that little guy for a while. How is he at Longhu Mountain?"

For two years, although Zhang Yi is in the capital, he knows the situation of Longhu Mountain well.

Zhang Yi's every move on Longhu Mountain could not escape the surveillance of Jin Yiwei who had been on the mountain for a long time.

It's just that the emperor deliberately avoided Zhang Yi's news, and would selectively ignore the secret performance sent by Jin Yiwei.

Now that the memories that had been buried in the dust for two years flooded out again, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Zhu Biao smiled and said:

"The younger brother of the Zhang family is a troublemaker everywhere, and he has not been idle during the two years in Longhu Mountain!

He also passed on the secret recipe of allicin to the Taoist priests on the mountain. The magic medicine that was worthless in the past has now penetrated into the homes of ordinary people...

The people near Longhu Mountain also miss the kindness of the second son of the Tianshi family!

It's just that some people aren't too happy.

It is said that Master Hu fell ill for three days after knowing the price of allicin..."

Zhu Yuanzhang also heard about this incident. Zhang Yizai stabbed Hu Weiyong hundreds of miles away in his own way.

But also because of this incident, the hatred between Hu Weiyong and him is estimated to be deeper.

In a sense, this is revenge for killing a son.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care, as long as he was there, Hu Weiyong wouldn't be able to make any money.

"Later, he was on the mountain again, teaching the people on the mountain a subject called [chemistry]... On Longhu Mountain, there are often various accidents...

There is also research on blacksmithing... Jiangxi officials have accused Longhushan more than once of wanting to rebel!

These are all suppressed by the emperor, have you forgotten? "

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard the words, he did remember this incident.

Locally, many officials did accuse Longhushan of treason.

After all, Zhang Yi studied blacksmithing, so no matter how you look at it, he has bad intentions.

But Zhu Yuanzhang already had a school inspector there who knew that this kid's research on these things has nothing to do with making weapons at all.

The most important thing for him is to find suitable materials for making needles.

Stainless steel, steel that won't rust?
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this term, he was still a little curious.

Zhang Yi's research is not going well, and the money he has earned over the years has been continuously consumed in buying various precious metals.

Counting the subject called [Chemistry] he taught the Taoist priests on the mountain.

It is not so fast to burn money.

Old Zhu was happy to see him tinkering, and also expected him to tinker with something new.

Therefore, which official dares to sue Longhushan for treason, Jin Yiwei will investigate him...

Everyone knows that the sacred relatives of Longhu Mountain have not been lost, and no one will sue them once they come and go.

"The world flies so fast, two years have passed in the blink of an eye!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

Two years is not long or short, but for a child, the changes are rapid.

Zhang Yi seems to be getting closer to adulthood.

"In two years, he will be engaged to marry a wife..."

Like an elder, Lao Zhu worried about Zhang Yi's affairs.

Zhu Biao smiled, just this year, he has married the girl he loves, if he can witness the day when Zhang Yi gets married, it must be very interesting?
However, after all, marrying a wife at the age of 14 is a minority, and Zhu Biao himself only got married at the age of 16.

"Father still has the idea of ​​giving a marriage to the younger brother of the Zhang family?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded silently:
"Xu Da, when he came back last time, I let him know!

After he knew Zhang Yi's ability, he basically agreed to the marriage.
Look at the Xu family, as the reputation of Miaoyun's daughters has risen over the years, the matchmakers for his family have already stepped through the threshold!
I like that girl, it's just that the luck is a little thinner!
In addition, she seems to have other thoughts, so let me forget it! "

Speaking of Xu Miaoyun, this is also a role that causes headaches for parents.

The ten-year-old girl from the Xu family has long been known as a beauty.In addition, she was successful in studying, and her reputation among female students also spread far and wide.

It's just that this kid has a problem, he loves to practice Taoism...

From time to time, he still wears Taoist robes, as if he is about to become a monk.

Xu Da also has a headache for his daughter.

So when Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned her fate with Zhang Yi, Lao Xu seemed to understand.

The second son of the Zhang family in Longhushan is not good enough for his daughter.

But a real person who can change the destiny of China can also do it.

What's more, as long as the emperor is willing, Zhang Yi's achievements will definitely be mixed with a title.

Calculated in this way, even if his daughter is really dedicated to Taoism, she will not be left alone.

It's just that the Xu family's girl is still young, and Xu Da is reluctant to decide her fate so quickly.

This matter can only be said a few years later.

"I don't know when the younger brother of the Zhang family will go down the mountain..."

"Over the years, the Zhejiang factory has created a lot of money for him, and this guy will probably be reluctant to go down the mountain if he doesn't finish tossing the shadow on his body!
He is not a person who likes to go out, and now Longhushan is no better than before.

The power Zhang Normal gave him was almost equivalent to the second person in Longhushan.

He has some fun, and it is natural that he is reluctant to go down the mountain!

I'm afraid there aren't many things in this world that can attract him down the mountain! "

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was a little lonely, and Zhu Biao also deeply agreed.

"The younger brother of the Zhang family is not an ambitious person, but he has ideals!

Maybe one day when he thinks he can change the world, he will go down the mountain again?

Or, meet the opportunity to go down the mountain...

For example, Brother Muying is back! "

Speaking of Mu Ying, Lao Zhu was also worried.

In the second year of Hongwu, Muying went to sea. According to Zhang Yi's best situation, they should also come back.

It's just that there is no news of Mu Ying in the vast sea.

I don't know if their trip is bad or good?
Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao have discussed that if Mu Ying does not come back next year, he will consider sending another team out to sea.

Today, the Xuanwu Army of Ming Dynasty has gradually taken shape.

Moreover, the national strength has been steadily rising in the past two years, and it can afford to go to sea for the second time.

All of this is due to the promotion of Yaowangdao.

The rice was moved to the north, and the promotion of Yaowang Rice was carried out by Zhu Yuanzhang almost immediately after Zhang Yi left the capital.

The yield of Yaowang Rice really surprised many people.

Now that two years have passed, medicinal king rice has gradually been planted near the south of the Yangtze River.

In addition, under the promotion of the emperor's worries, it was also widely planted in the North China Plain.

Zhu Biao once estimated that it was about eight years of Hongwu at most.

Daming was able to complete the coverage of Yaowang Rice.

Although things in America are not going well, Yaowangdao has really made a great contribution to Daming's recuperation.

Another contribution of Zhang Yi came from Zhejiang in the east.

The reform of business tax has achieved initial results...

Zhejiang has made achievements in farming and commerce.

Especially the textile factory that Zhang Yi mentioned, in just two years, the price of cotton cloth in Zhejiang has dropped by [-]%.

From this we can see that its output is terrifying.

It was the first time Lao Zhu realized the power of the word industrialization.

According to Zhang Yi's management method, the factory's shipments were terrifying.

And the sales brought a lot of tax, of course, the imperial court collected a lot of money in terms of commercial tax.

And those workers, especially women workers, who worked in the workshops also gained a lot of income.

Under this subtle influence, both the wealthy households and ordinary people in the Zhejiang civil uprising at the beginning seemed to gradually see the benefits.

Zhejiang has always been a place of developed commerce.

After everyone lost their maritime trade, they all had to turn their attention to the inland market.

Suddenly such a factory took the lead, and the businessmen discovered that the business environment in Zhejiang is indeed much better than other places.

Although the imperial court imposed heavy taxes here.

But the emperor strictly prohibited local officials from exploiting businessmen outside of the tax law.

After going back and forth, the cost seems to be about the same.

In the past, everyone evaded taxes, but a lot of money also needed to be used to deal with magistrates, as long as the officials could control the frequency of magistrates reaching out.

Also willing to uphold the justice of the law.

The money is not given to anyone, but to the court...

That's reassuring.

The Zhejiang civil uprising, which caused a lot of trouble back then and said that troops would be sent to suppress the rebellion, disappeared long ago.

Two years is not enough to see whether a policy is good or bad.

But if things are still going well in another year, Zhu Yuanzhang plans to implement this policy nationwide.

"By the way, Royal Father, Prime Minister Li reported back today that he has already drawn up the list you asked him to draw up!"

While the father and son were chatting, Zhu Biao remembered another important matter and handed a list to Zhu Yuanzhang.

This list is exactly the list of Jinshi in Ming Dynasty after the first imperial examination last year.

These people also have their own arrangements according to Lao Zhu's own wishes.

Now that a year has passed, it is time for Zhu Yuanzhang to assess these people, so Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Shanchang to ask the Ministry of Officials for the list of these officials.

The father and son naturally switched back to work mode.

Lao Zhu picked up the assessment lists of these officials and read them carefully.

Gradually, his face darkened.

"These people are too bad..."

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the list, kneading his brows, his mood fluctuated.

The emperor was disappointed and lost in the study.

North and South rankings, imperial examinations...

For Zhu Yuanzhang, these things are a matter of great hope.

But this group of people is not as good as the officials in front of Ming Dynasty...

This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel that he had made a real mistake, and it also made him feel particularly frustrated.

"These people are not as useful as the people I elected from the people in the early years!

It's all rubbish..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he threw the list on the ground and said:

"It seems that even if it is the imperial examination, the matter of recommending talents cannot be left behind..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was upset and asked Zhu Biao to leave first.

He was angry for a long time, let the eunuch come in, ready to go out.

Not long after, he appeared in an exquisite courtyard.

Knowing that he was coming, a beautiful woman walked up and knelt down in front of the emperor:

"Avalokitesvara has seen His Majesty the Emperor!"
