Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 325: Celestial phenomena kill Zhu Di, Shen Wansan’s grandson bets on Zhu Di!
Hongwu 11 years.

end of september.

Harvest time.

The palace seemed to be filled with the sweet smell of wheat and rice.

It's approaching evening.

A circle of red clouds appeared on the horizon, and the circle of red clouds slowly spread in three directions: north, south, south, and south. The red circle seemed to surround the sky, attracting the palace people, and officials from the six ministries stopped to watch and discuss.

"What kind of celestial phenomenon is this?"

"I have never seen such a celestial phenomenon. At sunset, even if red clouds appear on the horizon, they are only in the west. Right now, a circle of red clouds surrounds the entire sky."

"Is there going to be a disaster of weapons?"

"I am surrounded by the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty on land. Don't forget, the Lord of the Four Seas is about to appear!"

"God is warning!"

……

Liu Bowen stood among his colleagues and frowned slightly when he heard that the content of the discussion was gradually changing.

Looking towards the imperial study room out of the corner of his eye...

……

Inside the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, after Zhu Zhuangyuan and his party entered Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they stayed at Zhouzhuang Chenyuan..."

Jiang Wei stood in front of the imperial case, reporting with lowered eyebrows and eyes, quietly spying on Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is not a complaint.

Reporting Zhu Silang's itinerary at all times was originally ordered by the emperor.

Taisun was also in the team.

Not only the emperor is paying attention.

The prince is also very concerned about it.

Shen Wansan's Zhouzhuang Garden was definitely a taboo topic in the official circles of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Silang passed through Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he dared to stay in Shenyuan in a grand manner.

Although Zhu Silang's purpose in contacting the Shen family has not been discovered.

But it's not hard to guess.

Most likely, he wanted the Shen family to support him in forming a private army.

It’s not enough to feed 2 troops and sell Zhu Silang in slices!

Zhu Silang has violated a taboo this time!

……

"When King Yan left the Zhou family, Sun Shenzhi, the third eldest son of the Shen family, and Gu Xuewen, Shen Wansan's youngest son-in-law, personally accompanied King Yan to Fujian..."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened and fiddled with more than a dozen ears of wheat and rice.

Rubbing the ears with both hands, he took out the rice and wheat inside, put them into his mouth and chewed them carefully, with a smile on his face, "According to estimates, where should the fourth child and the others be now?"

Doesn't this arouse the emperor's alarm?

Feeling the shock, Jiang Wei hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, according to Zhu Zhuangyuan's itinerary, he should have entered Fujian by now."

"We understand, let's get down."

Jiang Wei lowered his head in disappointment, "Yes."

After receiving the order, he turned around and left, "If the emperor doesn't care, I don't believe that the prince doesn't care!" '

During this period, after each report to the emperor, he would also report to the prince about the news about his grandson.

He also reported Zhu Silang's every move.

When Zhu Silang commits taboo things, once is not enough, but if he accumulates too much, it may not be possible.

When Jiang Wei walked out of the royal study, he noticed in the distance that all the officials were standing outside the government office, pointing to the horizon.

Looking at the circle of red clouds on the horizon, he frowned slightly, "Zhu Silang is gone, these people have become so elegant."

He muttered something in a low voice, walked a few steps, suddenly stamped his feet, and looked suspiciously in the direction of the Liubu Government Office.

After a little thought, he changed direction and went straight to Baiguan.

……

After a while.

Jiang Wei walked in a hurry, leaving and returning.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still playing with the rice ears, raised his head when he heard the footsteps. Seeing Jiang Yu's face solemn, he turned back in a hurry and frowned slightly, "What happened?"

"Emperor... Your Majesty, please go outside and take a look." Jiang Wei pointed to the outside of the palace and said out of breath: "There is a very strange celestial phenomenon outside. All the six ministers are talking about it..."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, looked outside, and stood up...

When Jiang Wei saw Zhu Yuanzhang passing by, he hurriedly followed him and secretly rejoiced.

He had to admire these civil servants.

It is indeed sinister, vicious, and shameless.

If I hadn't been more thoughtful and sneaked in to eavesdrop, I would have missed this opportunity.

There is a circle of red clouds on the horizon, which is a pretty sight.

In the eyes of this group of civil servants, it became a bad omen.

He can still justify himself and involve Zhu Silang.

……

Jiang Wei was secretly delighted all the way and followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the open space outside the imperial study.

"What are all the officials talking about?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice interrupted Jiang Yu's joyful thoughts.

After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly replied: "My lords, I have never seen such a celestial phenomenon before..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face couldn't help but turn cold.

The forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty surrounded the Ming Dynasty on land.

The Lord of the Four Seas surrounded Ming Dynasty on the sea.

In the future, Ming Dynasty will be in the flames of war on land and sea?

Is this really how we should explain the celestial phenomenon in front of us?

Or are some people who have a grudge against Lao Si using celestial phenomena to target Lao Si?

……

Jiang Wei secretly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, "This kind of thing will definitely not make the emperor dislike Zhu Silang all of a sudden. Maybe it can prick a thorn in the emperor's heart!" '

"Go and find Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, and the officials from the Qin Tian Jian!"

……

Fujian.

Tongpanshan.

As evening approached, Zhu Di and his party arrived here, choosing to camp on the spot without access to the village or store.

Everyone in the camp was also attracted by the celestial phenomena.

"Master Wife, you are so beautiful!"

"It's so beautiful. Does this welcome us to Fujian?"

……

A group of children playing in the camp looked up and exclaimed.

"King Yan, there is a strange phenomenon in the sky. This is Fujian's welcome to King Yan. In the future, Fujian will definitely be like the sky full of red clouds, prosperous and prosperous."

Beside Zhu Di, a scribe held a folding fan and complimented him with a smile.

Xu Zengshou and Xu Yingxu looked at each other and muttered "flattery" in a low voice.

This little son-in-law of the Shen family flattered his brother-in-law all the way.

Shen Zhi glanced at his uncle and was so ashamed that he really didn't know why his uncle, second uncle, and father asked his uncle to follow him.

You shouldn't be so naked when trying to please King Yan.

This will only make King Yan look down on the Shen family.

I thought the Shen family were all a bunch of sycophants!

Zhu Di noticed Shen Zhi's little movements and asked with a smile: "Mr. Shen, what do you think?"

Shen Zhi hurriedly smiled and said: "My uncle and I have different views. The sky in the middle is our Ming Dynasty. The red cloud circle continues to expand and extend, which means that as the King of Yan goes south to deal with the Japanese pirates, in the future the prince will conquer the Yuan Dynasty in the north, and our territory will be conquered. will expand, and our Ming Dynasty’s national destiny will be prosperous!”

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

It's just a natural phenomenon, but the explanation given by my uncle and nephew makes a judgment!
Others were still outside admiring.

Zhu Di turned around and returned to the main tent.

Shen Zhi and Gu Xuewen looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

Zhu Di saw the two people following him in. After sitting down, he smiled and pointed to the futons on both sides.

After the two of them were seated.

Zhu Di pondered briefly and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, your grandfather was sent to Yunnan to study Taoism with Zhang Sanfeng, right?"

Passing through Jiangsu and Zhejiang, out of curiosity, I went to Zhouzhuang Shen Garden.

The Shen family is indeed as rich as the country.

This can be seen in a Shen Garden.

The historical case between the old man and Shen Wansan.

There are various versions.

Some versions record that the old man ascended the throne and Shen Wansan was dead.

According to some records, the old man was extremely cruel to Shen Wansan and the Shen family.

He understands the Ming Dynasty.

Shen Wansan was indeed sent to Yunnan.

The Shen family did help build the city and labor the army.

But my father was also kind to the Shen family.

Shen Zhi's two cousins, Shen Sen was granted the title of Guangjiku Tiju, and Shen Jie was granted the title of Household Member Wailang.

The Shen family is the home of merchants.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, he could not be an official at all.

Shen Wansan was assigned to Yunnan because the Shen family supported Zhang Shicheng to fight against the imperial court. Shen Wansan had great influence in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In this case, any emperor would do this.If it were him, he would not let Shen Wansan, an extremely unstable factor, stay in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Even to save trouble, he killed them with a single knife.

Of course, he was not excusing the old man.

Taxes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are indeed too high.

However, it is not advisable to implement the same tax system in Jiangsu and Zhejiang as the world after his good nephew Zhu Yunwen came to the throne.

The imperial court wanted to balance the gap between the rich and the poor among regions.

It must be adjusted through the tax system.

The old man implemented a high tax policy on Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but he did not use it for his own enjoyment.

People in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have reasons to hate the old man, but people all over the world have no reason.

……

The expressions of Shen Zhi and Gu Xuewen both changed drastically.

After Zhu Di saw it, he calmed down his thoughts and smiled to comfort him: "Don't worry, His Majesty already knew about this. If he wanted to trouble your Shen family, he would have found it long ago."

This matter was told to him by the former Jinyiwei leader Mao Aliu.

The Shen family is a bit frightened now.

"I mentioned your grandfather, not because I want to pursue anything, I just want to tell you about the history of your Shen family..."

The Shen family also started from farming.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Shen Wansan's father moved his tribe to Zhouzhuang and reclaimed wasteland in Zhouzhuang.

When they stayed at Shen Garden in Zhouzhuang.

We also visited Shenjia’s vast streets, acres and acres of paddy fields, and the astonishing hundreds of acres of mulberry forest...

The Shen family's hundreds of fully packed granaries shocked the children.

The Shen family's farmland construction has merits for future generations, and he also learned a lot through careful visits.

to be frank.

on how to develop agriculture.

Don't look at his proposal of rural village societies.

But it's only half a pot of water.

We understand big things, but we know very little about many details.

Farming is also a major subject.

He has been farming in Tuqiao Village for two years, and he can only be considered an entry-level farmer at best.

"It's not that the imperial court cannot tolerate wealthy families like yours. It just hopes that wealthy families like yours can take on greater responsibilities. Just like, your father and two uncles are willing to help the people of Zhouzhuang build rural communities in Zhouzhuang. …”

The Shen family's promise to help the people of Zhouzhuang and build local village communities is another gain from their stay in Shen Garden.

The Shen family befriended him.

At the same time, he is willing to help the people of Zhouzhuang build rural villages.

It's because of fear and uneasiness, and I want to use this kind of behavior to exchange for the safety of the Shen family.

So, he just went with the flow.

The Shen family took the lead in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, helping the surrounding people to establish rural village communities for free.

The people of Zhouzhuang benefited from small profits.

In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, it would be a great benefit to have a broad impact.

……

Shen Zhi gradually relaxed and looked at Zhu Di secretly from the corner of his eye. The story of King Yan had spread to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

He has never seen the prince.

But even my father, uncle, and second uncle commented privately.

This one has the appearance of a master!
Look at what you are saying now, it sounds very convincing.

"Your Highness." Taking advantage of Zhu Di's pause, Shen Zhi hurriedly spoke: "My Shen family will definitely help the people of Zhouzhuang to build a local village community. Moreover, the Shen family will never invest in a local village community. Before setting off with Your Highness, my father once said with emotion, I The history of the Shen family's hard work in farming is actually very similar to His Highness's rural village community."

"It's just His Highness's rural village community that is willing to benefit people with different surnames. However, our Shen family does not have His Highness's ambition. It is just the Shen family that benefits..."

Zhu Di couldn't help smiling.

This Shen Zhi is quietly flattering again.

However, it is also to the point.

The Shen family also concentrated its manpower and material resources on farming and accumulating wealth.

The essential core of rural village communities is also to pool manpower and material resources.

"This time you will follow me to Fujian to open a maritime trade. I also hope that you can introduce some elements of rural village communities. For example, should every employee have the right to dividends while receiving compensation?"

……

From Shen Zhi's eldest uncle's house to his second uncle's house, there were people serving in the imperial court.

The first and second bedrooms were more than enthusiastic about him, but kept a certain distance.

Obviously, I also heard about the eldest brother and his rumors.

Shen Wang, the father of Shen Zhi, the head of the third room of the Shen family, pushed his eldest son Shen Zhi next to him.

The Shen family hopes for an extra layer of insurance.

He readily agreed.

The Shen family used to be a large merchant.

Shen Zhi understands sea trade, which is very beneficial to Jian'an County, Min County, and even the entire Fujian.

Secondly, although the Shen family does not dare to participate in maritime smuggling now.

But the Shen family has dealt with pirates and has a deep connection.

The Shen family could even say a word or two to the remnants of Zhang Shicheng's troops who fled to the sea.

This is of great use to him.

Shen Zhi asked curiously: "Your Highness, everyone has a penis?"

The Shen family will also give employees body shares, but only at the level of shopkeeper.

There are no other hired hands!

But according to His Highness, it seems that ordinary employees should also get a body.

"Correct!"

Zhu Di smiled and nodded: "For some ordinary employees who work hard, perform well, and have special skills, they should also be given shares. This is what I said to you, the responsibilities that the extremely rich should bear..."

He admired the profit distribution model of a certain enterprise in later generations.

Now we are just experimenting with the trading firm opened by Shen Zhi in Fujian.

If it is feasible, and sum up a set that is consistent with the experience of this era.

He will report it to his father and elder brother.

In the world of imperial power, how to develop a business model depends on the emperor’s words!

If you don't comply, you will be killed!
If we can use this business model at the right time, we can loosen the constraints on Ming Dynasty's business.

It will definitely be beneficial to stimulate rural village communities to develop to a higher level.

The grain and cotton produced by local village communities, as well as tables, chairs, benches, baskets, and porcelain that will appear in the future...

and a series of products.

It takes a group of people to circulate these items.

In Tuqiao Village, he is just a village chief and cannot provide overall coordination for a county.

Now that he has become a county magistrate and has maritime trade rights, the conditions are ripe.

If my father and eldest brother don't accept his approach.

Then he will go to Dongfan to do it!
Rural village cooperative + this business model where employees hold shares.

Whether it would work or not, he didn't know yet.

But it feels very exciting!

……

That night, Zhu Di talked a lot with Shen Zhi and Gu Xuewen.

Come out of Zhu Di's tent.

Shen Zhi and Gu Xuewen returned to the tent.

After falling asleep, I felt as heavy as pancakes and couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning.

"Jingchu, what's wrong?" Gu Xuewen was alarmed and asked curiously.

Shen Zhi stood up, lit the candle, and looked at Gu Xuewen: "Uncle, I feel that King Yan is a person who can achieve great things, and may create a new era!"

The business model of rural village cooperative + employee shareholding system.

He didn't know whether King Yan could finally complete it.

Perhaps, the Ming Dynasty had too many constraints, and King Yan was not the one who made the decision, so it couldn't succeed.

But what if King Yan goes to Dongfan and has absolute control over his own territory?
If such epoch-making cultural governance succeeds.

Then cooperate with King Yan’s martial arts!

The glory of King Yan will envelope the world!

At that time, I am afraid that all the Central Plains will be jealous.

"Uncle, I want you to go back to Zhouzhuang and convey to father what King Yan said tonight..."

Gu Xuewen listened with a look of shock on his face, "Jingchu, do you want to tie the entire third house to King Yan?"

"It is still unclear whether Zhu Silang can establish himself in Jian'an County!"

Many people in Fujian do not welcome Zhu Silang!

"Even though Zhu Silang is a prince, I highly doubt that when he comes to Fujian for the first time, he may be rejected! Don't forget the relationship between these powerful people in Fujian and pirates!"

Shen Zhi frowned.

Now is the time to make a big bet!

Gu Xuewen noticed Shen Zhi's thoughts and hurriedly persuaded him: "How about we wait until we arrive in Jian'an tomorrow to see the situation?"

……

　Ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.

　　I originally wanted to write it from the Shen family, but I felt it was redundant, so I revised it several times, but I don’t know what to do with it.

　　I updated the map, so I wrote it a bit slowly, so please forgive me.
