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

Chapter 512 Zhu Biao shouted the sound of war!

Lan Yu traveled thousands of miles and worked tirelessly to come back from the northern border areas.

Went to the East Palace as soon as possible.

He didn't even meet Prince Zhu Biao and went straight to the imperial prison.

After being released from prison, he actually hid in his mansion and stayed behind closed doors?

Everyone was confused by Lan Yu's actions.

……

Zhuzi Lane.

Hu Weiyong and Lu Bentong came back from outside the city and drove into Zhuzi Lane in a newly polished Yanhua carriage.

Inside the carriage.

Gu Xuewen, the aunt of the Shen family, sat obediently in the corner with his hands on his knees.

In front of Lu Ben and Hu Weiyong, he didn't dare to breathe.

When King Zhu Di of Yan took office as the magistrate of Jian'an County in Fujian Province, he and his nephew Shen Zhi accompanied him.

At that time, Zhu Di was ignored by both the military and political parties in Fujian.

And there are also Japanese invasions.

He decided that King Zhu Di of Yan would not be able to achieve anything famous in Fujian.

And Zhu Di was also very disgusted with the so-called two ideas and two propositions they described.

So on the second day after arriving in Jian'an, he quietly left and headed north to Jinling.

At the beginning, he didn't make a name for himself in Jinling.

The identity of the Shen family's aunt has considerable influence in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, the south and other regions.

But in a place like Jinling.

Uncle Shen’s family is nothing!

None of the seventh-grade sesame officials in Jinling took him seriously.

After several years of poverty and embarrassment, I found an opportunity to hook up with the playboys Hu Dahu and Lu Zhao, and slowly came under the scrutiny of Hu Weiyong and Lu Ben.

At the beginning, he helped Hu Weiyong manage Hu's Trading Company.

Although he is a scholar.

But as the aunt of the Shen family for so many years, I also learned a lot of business skills.

Therefore, he worked in Hu's Trading Company for a period of time, and his outstanding performance soon won Hu Weiyong's favor.

His status gradually improved.

After all, Hu Weiyong is the former prime minister.

Even though he was kicked out of the court by Zhu Silang more than ten years ago.

But the network of contacts is still there.

Because he was appreciated by Hu Weiyong, he finally gained some status in Jinling City.

The twenty-seventh year of Hongwu.

He was once assigned by Hu Weiyong to secretly go to Fujian to encourage some like-minded colleagues in Fujian to engage in dental work. They were suppressed and unable to speak out.

Prepare to overthrow Zhu Silang's Fujian model.

Originally he was steadfast in his vow.

Think it will happen.

But in the end, those who instigated it were collectively boycotted by Fujian officials, businessmen, workers, farmers, and scholars.

In the end, he fled back to Jinling in extreme embarrassment.

I thought that if I didn't complete the task, I would be left out by Prime Minister Hu.

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Hu was magnanimous and magnanimous and still used him in important positions.

As Yanhua's technology was stolen and misappropriated.

Hu Xiang and Mr. Lu also wanted to use Yanhua technology to open factories.

But I don’t want to show up in person.

A white glove role is required.

So, I fell in love with him.

Now, he is already a very famous factory owner in Zhili territory!
There are ten factories under its name, including a hand-operated sewing machine factory built on cheap iron in Jinling Industrial Zone, Yanhua's first-generation animal-powered combine harvester factory, a bamboo strip weaving factory required for sea trade, a sack weaving factory, etc.

A total of 2,700 employees!
The largest factory owner in Jinling!

Because of its scale, it was even summoned by the prince.

……

He admitted that he was wrong at first.

His current scale is nothing compared to the Shen family's three-bedroom factory and nephew Shen Zhi's factory in Yanjing.

According to news from the father-in-law's house in Zhouzhuang.

Under Shen Zhi, there are 1,500 people in one watch factory alone!

Moreover, he could not compare with their technical content.

At the same time, he is a white glove man. On the surface, 80% of the ten factories belong to the Hu family and the Lu family.

There are still 8% of the shares left. According to the arrangement of the Hu and Lu families, the profits will be distributed to some powerful people in Jinling City.

On the surface, he is the largest factory owner in Zhili.

In fact, it’s only 12% of the shares.

But so what!
Does Shen Zhi have as much money as him?
The business model that employs workers and shares shares even requires a large portion of profits to be distributed to humble workers.

And you can't exploit those humble workers.

I'm afraid, the profit that ended up in Shen Zhi's hands was not as much as his, right?
If there was anything about Shen Zhi that he could envy, there was only one thing about it.

Shen Zhi and Zhu Silang have a very good relationship.

It is said that the eldest son of Shen Zhi's family has also been arranged to serve in the Yanhua Army. Not long ago, his eldest uncle and second uncle wrote to mention it.

This boy, during the attack on the Chen Dynasty, had made heroic achievements and had been promoted to the lowest rank of deputy official in the Yanhua Army.

Shen Zhi obviously wanted the eldest son of his family to develop into the Yanhua military world.

You can follow Yanhua's regulations.

If the children of businessmen enter the military and political circles, soldiers must separate from their families after being promoted to team officers.

If the children of military and political circles go into business, they must also separate from the family.

In addition, they must register with Yanhua's newly established Discipline Inspection Department.

This newly established disciplinary inspection department will focus on the behavior of these people at all times.

It can be said that even if the eldest son of the Shen Zhi family is excellent, his military career will be difficult, not to mention compared with the descendants of soldiers in Yanhua, but also compared with the children of ordinary people.

Every promotion.

All must be subject to the Disciplinary Inspection Department, which uses a magnifying glass to supervise and review.

The separation is even more severe.

The branch families in Yanhua are not like those aristocratic families in the Central Plains.

Divided into large rooms, two rooms, three rooms...

When a family is separated, there will also be a master-slave relationship.

The division of Yanhua's family is a real division!
Just like the eldest son of Shen Zhi's family.

If you reach the leadership level in the future and want to continue in the military, you will have to separate.

Moreover, the Yanhua Discipline Inspection Office will intervene to supervise.

After the family division, the ancestral halls had to be set up separately.

The ancestral hall built by the eldest son of Shen Zhi's family is equal to that of Shen Zhiliu in the folk lineage.

Large families and ancestral halls are the most important ties that maintain family ties.

But after Shen Zhi's death, the younger and younger sons of the Shen family did not need it, and could not return to their own family to worship their ancestors in the ancestral hall.

In short, the Disciplinary Supervision Office uses a magnifying glass to supervise and separate families.

Then cooperate with the democratic supervision of Yanhua who have obtained political and economic power.

Even if the eldest son of Shen Zhi's family succeeds in the military world in the future, he will not be able to provide any help to Shen Zhi's other descendants.

Of course, even so.

He was envious too.

He believes that it is just like Yanhua letting the children of industrial and commercial owners enter the military and political circles.

The imperial court should follow suit!

When dealing with Yanhua, we should remove the dross and pick up the essence!

However, he was not qualified to discuss this kind of thing. He was too worried now and had no energy to promote it.

A year ago, Emperor Zhu returned to the court briefly.

An order was issued.

Fujian businessmen, equipped with abundant capital, technology, and perfect industrial management techniques from Professor Yanhua, rushed out of Fujian like a pack of evil wolves with red eyes.

Be the first to take root in the territory dominated by the reformists.

Established a factory employing workers as a shareholding system.

Various cheap and high-quality products soon had a severe impact on private factory owners like them.

Earlier, when Emperor Zhu issued this imperial order, to be honest, they didn't care at all.

They and Fujian merchants use the same generation of technology.

That is, the first generation of Yanhua, with backward technology!
Through extensive analysis, they judged that with the same technology, labor costs for Fujian businessmen operating in joint-stock factories were higher than theirs.

After all, workers have to be paid again.

Also pay dividends.

The production cost is definitely not small.

The selling price of goods is high.

Even if the quality is good, it is impossible to compete with them in the market.

If sales cannot increase, profits cannot increase and cannot be used to expand production.

But they never expected that the actual situation was completely contrary to their judgment.

The productivity of workers in these single-employment factories is very high.

Weaving a sack, using the same tools, and hiring workers in a stocking factory, can weave five sacks in a day.

And in their factory, one worker can only knit two per day!
Workers in joint-stock factories are highly motivated to produce, and they are also highly motivated to actively learn skills and improve their own skills.

This leads to.

In the factories of these Fujian merchants, the production efficiency is high and the quality is good.

Use efficiency to lower costs!

Moreover, these bastards have no moral ethics!

After a year of cultivating and developing a group of so-called technical pacesetters, they actually supported these technical pacesetters and opened their own small-scale factories with five or six workers, and no more than twenty workers at most.

The employment share system was also established.

Fujian businessmen invested in it and occupied part of the shares.

At the same time, he is responsible for the sales of these small sparrow-shaped factories.

These small-scale joint-stock factories with low backgrounds, no connections, and no knowledge of business, only need to be responsible for the careful production of goods.

In just one year.

As long as these guys in Fujian, who don't respect martial ethics, gain a foothold in an area dominated by the reformists, they will use this model, just like wild boars giving birth to cubs one after another.

A pattern was soon formed, with the central factory as the main one and countless sparrow factories blooming all around.

Countless goods are produced.

Constantly impacting their traditional markets.

They went out of the city this time to gather all the local businessmen and factory owners in Jinling to discuss how to deal with this situation.

Come and discuss.

It was finally decided to learn from the model of some Fujian factory owners.

Such as piecework!

From now on, workers in their factory will have no fixed remuneration and will be paid on a piece-by-piece basis for each finished product.

The more you do the more you earn.

As for the situation, if the Fujian factory's system and basic salary model are not copied, will the workers in our own factory cause trouble?

Don't worry about that.

These workers signed a physical contract with his factory!

It is similar to the physical contract of a gentry's tenant farmer.

They have no freedom, even if they want to change jobs and go to factories run by Fujian people, they can't!
As long as someone dares to run away, he can file a complaint and use the power of the Ming government to capture these humble workers, beat them half to death, and continue to work for him!
Besides.

That is to expand the scale of production.

By continuously burning money and expanding scale, they entered into a price war with Fujian merchants, and eventually destroyed the Fujian merchants.

But, he was worried.

Can this plan of burning money to expand the scale and launching a price war succeed?
These Fujian natives have worked closely with Yanhua over the years and have accumulated a lot of wealth.

The most important thing is that behind this group of bumpkins, there is the support of the entire Yanhua business community.

In this price war, once the Yanhua business community joins in, can they defeat the Fujian natives?

Who has the stronger financial resources between the two parties?
If all the money is burned, the Fujian natives will not be defeated.

That would really cost you everything!

Unexpectedly, the first battle between Yanhua and Ming Dynasty took place in the military and political circles, but it took place first in the business world.

……

The carriage drove past Lan Mansion.

Gu Xuewen looked at the closed door of Lan Mansion.

An idea flashed in his mind, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly asked: "Xiang Hu, Mr. Lu, what do you mean by this Liang Guogong? He came all the way back, why did he suddenly stay behind closed doors? Are you just watching with cold eyes?"

"If Zhu Silang takes revenge, will it trigger a political and military confrontation between Ming and Yanhua?"

If a military-political confrontation occurs. At this time, if you engage in a price war, you can get official favoritism, which is a different kind of local protection.

In this way, he is 100% sure of winning this battle.

Hu Weiyong and Lu Ben were silent.

In fact, I am also thinking that Lan Yu's behavior is really too abnormal.

Hu Weiyong saw through Gu Xuewen's thoughts at a glance and shook his head: "This possibility is almost impossible. The prince spent two years to get rid of local protection. This kind of alternative local protection will definitely form a new one while defeating Fujian businessmen." Vested interest groups. In the future, after Fujian businessmen retreat to Fujian, these vested interest groups will continue to insist on this kind of alternative local protection. This is something the prince will never allow. Therefore, this money-burning business war can only be limited to the business community. Any behavior that crosses the red line will arouse the prince's resentment and even attack him!"

The prince just didn't have the courage to do what Zhu Laosi did.

It doesn't mean that the prince is stupid!

The prince will never be lenient when it comes to safeguarding his own interests.

Just look at how the prince treats his biological brother Zhu Silang.

Gu Xuewen sighed in disappointment.

Lu Ben did not pay attention to business wars. He believed that it was impossible to lose.

On the contrary, he was more concerned about Lan Yu's abnormal behavior, "Hu Xiang, what on earth do you think this Lan Yu is doing? It's too strange..."

……

"Your great-uncle still stays behind closed doors and doesn't see any guests?"

East Palace.

In Zhu Biao's study, Zhu Biao asked while giving instructions on the memorial.

Zhu Yunwen stood in front of the desk and hummed, "Except for the day before yesterday, when Zuo Xiang went to visit and was received by my uncle, my uncle and I didn't see any other guests."

Zhu Biao's writing movement paused slightly.

He lowered his head, shook his head, and said calmly: "Forget it, it'll be fine if he doesn't make a fuss."

"Father..." Zhu Yunwen's lips moved, but he wanted to stop talking.

Zhu Biao raised his head and asked with a smile: "What do you want to say?"

Zhu Yunwen hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Should I meet my uncle and punish Lu Zhongheng a little harder? I feel that my uncle seems to have expected that my fourth uncle will not let it go. My uncle seems to want my father to suffer..." "

"So far, so far, the emperor's grandfather has no attitude. His attitude is very similar to that of my great-uncle..."

My father didn't know.

In fact, the shelling of Tuqiao Village was a premeditated incident.

Grandpa, Hu Xiang and others were the chief envoys.

Lan Yu's cheap great-uncle, and the attitude of the imperial grandfather.

These days, he felt frightened.

That guy, Fourth Uncle, dares to do anything!

Chang Mao is amazing!

My mother-in-law’s brother!
The uncle of the eldest brother Zhu Xiongying!

Otherwise, he will die in an unknown manner!
Seeing the uneasiness in Zhu Yunwen's eyes, Zhu Biao frowned slightly, lowered his head, and while continuing to give instructions on the memorial, he said: "Your fourth uncle does not and does not dare to be arrogant in Jinling City. If so, he is too unruly!"

"Where's Brother You? What are you doing these days?"

……

A month later.

Yanjing.

Zhu Di's study.

The doors and windows were closed.

Mao Xiang stood in front of the desk with a gloomy face and reported with suppressed anger: "Master, the brothers from the Military Intelligence Department who were just sent to Jinling brought back news that after the grandson returned, he had a dispute with the prince and failed to convince the prince. After Liang Guogong returned to the court, , it is said that he went to the East Palace first, and before seeing the prince, he went straight to the imperial prison. After coming out of the imperial prison, he stayed behind closed doors and did not see any guests..."

Zhu Di leaned back in the armchair.

Hidden in the shadows cast by the walls, I listened silently.

The light was dim, and Mao Xiang couldn't see Zhu Di's face clearly.

At a certain moment, Zhu Di asked calmly: "Where is your father?"

Mao Xiang shook his head, "Your Majesty has been in Fengyang and has not shown any attitude."

Zhu Di put it on the desk, paused with his fingers tapping on the desk, curled his fingers, and slowly clenched them: "No need to wait, just follow your plan and execute it. My attitude is that since Lu Zhongheng is hiding in the imperial edict and cannot come out, then Just wipe out the Lu family and tell the brothers that safety comes first."

Mao Xiang nodded heavily, turned around and left without saying anything.

He has already prepared the personnel.

They are all the top elites of the Military Intelligence Department!
Squeak!

The door opened and Mao Xiang walked out. He looked up and looked at the sun in the blue sky. His face felt as if it was frozen, and even the blazing sunshine in Yanjing could not melt it.

He shook his head and said to himself: 'Soon, the day will be cloudy. Prince, you are really wrong this time! '

After Mao Xiang left.

The light from outside is projected into the study from the door.

But behind Zhu Di's writing desk, the shadow cast by the wall retreated to the vicinity of the writing desk in the light, and then stubbornly 'stopped'.

Formed an anxious confrontation with the light.

Sitting behind the desk, Zhu Di remained silent, always shrouded in shadow...

……

Another month later.

A team of ten 'merchants' disembarked at Jinling Pier on a merchant ship and entered Jinling City with their goods.

Five days later.

"Oh no!"

"It's bad! The whole family of Marquis Ji'an has been destroyed!"

……

Fourth watch.

Zhuzi Lane suddenly sounded an extremely shrill roar.

In Zhuzi Lane.

The powerful officials who were about to go to court were instantly alerted.

……

After a while.

Lan Yu, Fang Xiaoru, Hu Weiyong, Lu Ben, and Geng Bingwen, a group of masters in the noble alley, walked into the quiet Lu Mansion filled with the smell of blood with serious expressions.

No one spoke.

All the way to the back house of Lu Mansion.

The Imperial Guard's curfew patrol team, which was the first to sense it, has arrived.

The bodies of men, women, old and young, with their necks cut off, were carried out by the soldiers of the city patrol.

Qianhu, who was in charge, saw so many big shots coming.

With a pale face, he walked over quickly and said, "Minister Zuo, gentlemen, in the Lu Mansion, except for the servants, all the people with the surname Lu, including the three-year-old son of the Marquis of Ji'an, were all killed. The murderer's technique was very clean and neat. Sealing one's throat with a knife must be a very professional assassin to do this..."

Hu Weiyong, Lu Ben and other conservatives looked at the corpses on the ground.

It was like falling into an ice cave, and my whole body was cold.

So cruel!

Too vicious!

How dare!

Don’t the people who do it have any compassion for others?

"It's Zhu Silang. This is Zhu Silang's revenge! How dare he! How dare he! He is too vicious! How can he be so cruel and without any compassion..."

A fifth-grade official couldn't bear it and suddenly went crazy and roared.

"Shut up!"

Lan Yu turned around angrily, rushed away from the crowd, and walked quickly to the fifth-grade official.

Snapped!
A slap in the face, a hard slap on the face of the fifth-rank official.

"What evidence do you have to prove that this is what King Yan did!"

These idiots!

Can this kind of thing be publicized?

Now that Zhu Laosi has taken action, do you really think he dare not expand it?
I still think the matter is not big enough or serious enough!

Lan Yu's hands trembled slightly.

He expected that Miaoyun girl almost had trouble, and Zhu Laosi was very angry.

Even in front of Lu Zhongheng, in order to deliberately scare Lu Zhongheng, he also mentioned that the Lu family was in danger.

But he didn't expect that Zhu Laosi would be so angry this time.

I thought that just killing one or two Lu family members would be enough.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Laosi came and wiped out the whole family!
It can be seen that Zhu Laosi is already on the verge of madness.

Are you still on fire now?
These ignorant things!
Lan Yu's movements were quick and sharp, waking up the official at the same time.

He also woke up others.

Everyone's face was pale, their bodies were shaking violently, but their lips were tightly pursed.

I dare not mention Zhu Di again.

Hu Weiyong seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Are everyone else in the Lu family here?"

Qianhu shook his head, "According to the surviving housekeeper, the eldest son of the Lu family went to drink wine last night, and the second son of the Lu family and his family were at his hometown..."

Lu Ben urged frantically: "Quick! Quick! Send someone to protect the rest of the Lu family!"

Lu Zhongheng is a member of the anti-Yan alliance.

It was also at their instigation that they bombarded Tuqiao Village.

If they couldn't even save Lu Zhongheng's remaining bloodline.

It will be a huge blow to the Yan Alliance.

……

It's bright.

Since Zhu Biao took charge of the country, it was a rare first time that there was no morning court.

study.

Zhu Biao's face turned dark for a while, and then sat blankly behind his desk.

Xiongying sat in the first place on the left, with a calm face, drinking tea from a teacup.

Lan Yu, Fang Xiaoru, Hu Weiyong, Lu Ben and others were either standing or sitting on both sides.

Outside the study, officials who were not qualified to enter stood densely packed in a large area.

Everyone was silent.

blah blah blah...

The sound of rapid footsteps came.

Thousands of households patrolling the city hurriedly trotted in. Facing Zhu Biao, hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at each other, and said in a panic and trembling: "Prince, I found... I found the eldest son of the Marquis of Ji'an. He died in Guiyuefang!"

Snapped!
Zhu Biao's face suddenly turned pale. The next second, he suddenly slapped the case and shouted, "How dare he! How dare he!"

Lu Zhongheng’s eldest son also died.

This clearly means that it is a carefully planned assassination!

He even suspected that Lu Zhongheng's second son's family in his hometown might also have been killed last night.

It was so unexpected.

How dare he, the Fourth!

This is Jinling!
Lu Zhongheng was just shelling Tuqiao Village. Even if Miaoyun was stimulated by this, he would be fine in the end.

How could he be so vicious and kill Lu Zhongheng's whole family?

Let Lu Zhongheng cut off his descendants!

……

Zhu Biao suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhu Xiongying.

Seeing the old god Zhu Xiongying, he was holding the teacup and looking down at the teacup, as if there was some beautiful scenery in the teacup.

He immediately became even more angry, "Look, this is your fourth uncle! Go! Go! Send an order to Gu and tell him to come back immediately and accept the court's trial. Otherwise, Ming and Yanhua can only use war to solve the problem! The dignity of Ming, There is no room for provocation, not by anyone!”

Only then did everyone notice the hero's movements and demeanor.

Xiongying held the tea cup and slowly raised his head, looking at Zhu Biao who was furious and completely lost his temper. "Father, is there any evidence that your fourth uncle did it?"

"For example, there is no evidence to prove that Lu Zhongheng's bombardment of Tuqiao Village was planned. Now there is evidence to prove that the entire Lu family was wiped out. Was it the fourth uncle's doing?"

"Okay, okay! Until now, you are still speaking for your crazy fourth uncle! Where is your compassion! Where is your compassion!"

Zhu Biao suddenly became even more angry and questioned Xiongying at the same time.

He grabbed the teacup and smashed it at Xiongying.

This time, it wasn't smashed at his feet.

Instead, it hit Xiongying directly in the face.

Lan Yu stepped in front of Xiongying and blocked the tea cup with her chest.

Xiongying stood up calmly, turned around and walked out under the gaze of everyone.

"Look, you are just like your crazy fourth uncle! You should not have been allowed to study with him back then..."

Xiongying listened to the voice of Zhu Biao losing his mind behind him.

Raise your head and look at the sun in the sky.

Somewhat glaring.

Squint slightly.

Until now, my father has not realized that the fourth uncle’s bottom line...

……

On this day, Zhu Biao lost his temper and shouted for war to safeguard the dignity of the Ming Dynasty!
