Chapter 840 Hu Guang Is Dead
"Now we need to find someone to carry the rice. Your Highness, why don't you recruit some common people so that they can get closer to Daming."
Yang Rong said relaxedly, after learning that the chief envoy appointed by Zhu Di had arrived, half of his mission had been completed, and the rest was just a compliment.
Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "The remaining prisoners of war can't be kept for nothing. Before sending them to the mine, they should carry the grain first. If there are any disobedient ones, they will be dealt with immediately, so as to save time and trouble."
_
The mine is located in the wilderness, if someone escapes restlessly, it will be difficult to arrest.
So those prisoners of war judged to be unreliable were driven to the pier, and met a group of officials headed by Chen Jie on the way.
Chen Jie looked very steady, elegant and natural, but on the way from Jinling to Wa Kingdom, those officials saw his methods.
"Chen Jie's wrist is tough, but he is not lacking in flexibility. Your Majesty's choice is indeed right."
Seeing those people from afar, Yang Rong analyzed Chen Jie for them.
"The country of Wa has not been completely pacified yet, so people like this are needed!"
Chen Jie looked good, at least much better than the group of people behind him.
"There is a purpose!"
As soon as Chen Jie arrived, he read Zhu Di's will before seeing the ceremony.
Zhu Di seemed to be in a good mood, so there was no lack of praise in his will.
In the end, it is required to seize the time to completely calm down the Wa country as soon as possible, and then return to Jinling.
"I have seen His Highness."
After saluting, Chen Jie said with a worried expression: "Master Hu is not in good health, and there are some... incidents in the court recently that make His Majesty angry."
Zhu Zhanji's complexion sank, "We'll talk about it when we go back."
Back at the residence, Chen Jie said in detail: "Before I set off, Master Hu had already started to lie in bed, and many people in the court were eyeing this seat. For this reason, His Majesty dismissed three people in succession. Better."
"Oh! Uncle Xing, here is a letter from Mr. Xie.
"
Fang Xing took the letter and walked out of the front hall.
Xie Jin mentioned Hu Guang's matter in the letter. After Hu Guang felt that he couldn't afford it, he asked someone to write to Xie Jin, saying that he was willing to fulfill the marriage contract between the two families, and apologized for not extending a helping hand back then.
Xie Jin didn't agree at first, but finally he let go after hearing that Hu Guang's daughter had twisted her hair while others were not prepared.
But Hu Guang probably knew that he was going to die, so he hurriedly asked someone to go to Fangjiazhuang, reconciled with Xie Jin and quickly went through the procedures, and then sent his daughter to Xie Jin's hometown, which was also his hometown, to get married.
After putting away the letter, Fang Xing stood outside, looking at the officials with different expressions, he couldn't help feeling that life was impermanent.
Although he doesn't have the name of the first assistant, but he has half of the first assistant. Hu Guang can be said to be a winner in life.
But this winner in life is about to bid farewell to the Daming stage at the most glorious time.
"But about the engagement?"
Yang Rong came out and asked. Inside, Chen Jie was relaying some of Zhu Di's explanations to Zhu Zhanji, and it was inconvenient for him to listen.
"That's right! You'll see through it when you're about to die, it's nothing but glory and wealth."
Fang Xing put away the letter and planned to write it home later.
Yang Rong laughed and said, "How old are you? You're old-fashioned."
Inside the hall, Chen Jie said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the King of Joseon's family has died. There are many discussions and doubts in the court. Some people say that this is Xing Hebo's method, and some people say that it is a warning for future generations, when..."
"Will you teach this ambitious grandson a lesson?" Zhu Zhanji said coldly.
Chen Jie was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the court mainly said that Xing Hebo's methods were cruel, and did not involve you."
"it's the same."
Zhu Zhanji bound himself and Fang Xing together without hesitation: "To accuse Xing Hebo is to blame me! Thousands of miles away, I don't even know the crisis at that time. Do those who talk about war on paper dare to come to Japan for a try?"
"At that time, Li Fangyuan was about to make a move, and the army of Ashikaga Yoshichi was attacking outside the city. Could it be that Daming worked so hard to conquer North Korea, and he still wanted to give it back with both hands? Waiting for the descendants of the Li family to erode Daming's land? A bunch of rotten scholars! They are malicious! "
Chen Jie kept silent, he didn't expect Zhu Zhanji's reaction to be so big, and he directly acquiesced that the Li family was the hands and feet of him and Fang Xing.
Zhu Zhanji softened his tone: "Since you are here, you should first look around, ask questions, and then implement specific policies, but remember that the Japanese are fickle, humble in front of them, and cruel behind their backs, so don't just be gentle , that is the way of self-destruction."
Chen Jie bowed his head in response, and then introduced: "The people who came with me this time include low-rank officials collected from all over the country, and some scholars who have not been selected. Your Majesty has explained that the scholars are all the work of Xinghe Bo. , let him arrange it."
Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Xing Hebo is good at this kind of method, which is called brainwashing. It is good to wash more, so that this place will completely become the land of Ming Dynasty, and there will be fewer threats at sea and one more line of defense."
"Since you have come to Wa country, remember one sentence first."
Fang Xing outside had already started to ring the alarm bells for these people.
"The people of the Japanese state are fickle, so we must remain vigilant, but we must find people who are interested in Ming Dynasty and reuse them. The second is culture and education. We should talk more and teach them repeatedly, so that they know that they are people of Ming Dynasty, and use this Proud."
Most of these people are frustrated, and the highest rank is the seventh-rank official, and those scholars are also "heroes" who have repeatedly failed in the imperial examinations. , everyone dare not neglect.
"Waguo is a good place. There are a lot of seafood here. The main crop in the future will be potatoes. You must have brought some seeds this time. But one thing to note is that there are pests in the rice fields here, which spread very quickly. Someone will show you the specimen later, and you should pay attention to clean it up in the future.”
Chen Jielai also added: "Xing Hebo's words are correct, everyone should pay attention, and when you get to the place, you must take the control of these insects as the top priority, after all, it will take a few years for large-scale planting of potatoes! "
Potatoes are a good thing, but seeds need to be planted everywhere to slow the rate of degradation.
Moreover, not many potatoes are harvested at present, and it will take a few years for it to become popular.
"To learn Minghua and write Ming characters, this is the second priority."
Fang Xing finally explained: "All Japanese people must be like this. Those who can't learn it, no matter whether it is intentional or stupid, are uneducable people. North Korea and the mines here are their final belongings."
What a ruthless person! It really deserves the title of those alien races: Demon God!
The officials and scholars below all trembled in their hearts. In Daming, when had they heard of such cruel treatment methods.
"Hurry up and ask about the situation in the Wa country. When the food arrives, you must follow it."
Fang Xing's tone was flat, but everyone could hear the cruel meaning.
Those who don’t learn Ming dialect and characters, the Ming army who controlled the granary of the Japanese treasury would not open the granary to release grain.
Want to buy food? No problem, let the family go to the mine to buy it!
