Chapter 331 Zhu Silang Is Too Crazy!
Jiang Jinzhong opened his mouth again and slowly closed it.
Jiang Youwei held his forehead. What sin had he committed to give birth to such a son?
He smiled embarrassedly: "The way we get along as father and son makes your Highness laugh."
"It's okay. I think it's quite interesting. I also have a son. I hope that in the future, he can be like you father and son."
Zhu Di said with a smile, and added ventriloquism: 'I'm just talking nonsense to avoid embarrassing the father and son. White lies must not become reality. '
In history, Miaoyun gave birth to three debt-collecting bastards for 'him'.
The eldest always talked about having no money.
The second was golden beans...
The third was copper peas...
Forget it, I can't think about it. If I continue to think about it, he dare not let Miaoyun give birth.
Jiang Youwei looked at Zhu Di suspiciously.
He doubted that this was a comforting word.
But there was no evidence.
He didn't believe that a father wanted to have such a son?
It would shorten his life!
However, since your Highness likes this kind of father-son relationship.
He was willing to pray for His Highness every day.
At the same time, he did not forget the business and said: "Your Highness can't go any further, especially not to Min County..."
Although his son was very close to the Prince of Yan.
He deliberately ran to Fuzhou when the Prince of Yan came to Jian'an, and acted as if he was slapping the Prince of Yan in the face.
But Ye Mao was also very cautious and cunning.
He never met him.
He was not even allowed to participate in the various talks between the Governor's Office and the gentry and powerful people in Fujian.
Even many of his old friends avoided him like a plague god.
However, his Jiang family was also a well-known local powerful in Fujian.
There are always channels of their own.
There are always people who dare not offend him.
"I heard that some wealthy families in Min County have recently found various excuses to quietly leave Min County with their families..."
Zhu Di listened and frowned slightly.
He smelled the smell of war.
Jiang Jinzhong frowned and was the first to question: "A wealthy family in Min County is so obedient this time? If the Japanese pirates attack Min County, they will be fine, but the loss will be great, right?"
From his father's words, it is not difficult to hear that it seems that some people in the Fujian government, the powerful, and the pirates on the sea.
Using Min County as a place to give Your Highness a wake-up call.
This is understandable.
Now the whole of Fujian knows it.
The county magistrate of Min County is Your Highness's brother-in-law.
And Min County will become the bridgehead for the King of Yan to use troops in Dongfan.
But as a native of Fujian, he is very clear about the wealth of Min County.
First of all, Min County has a very advantageous geographical location. It is close to the sea and there are countless beaches that are conducive to docking large and small ships.
Just find a beach, push a few small boats, load some goods, and transport them out to trade with Japanese pirates and pirates.
And Min County has the most plains and rivers among all the counties in Fujian.
It is a major grain-producing county in Fujian.
There are also economic crops such as oil tea, tung oil, coptis, salvia miltiorrhiza, and honeysuckle.
In short, the wealthy families in Min County are extremely rich.
In Jing'an County, there is only one powerful family with great influence, the Jiang family.
But there are many powerful families like the Jiang family in Min County.
This also makes Min County very powerful in the whole Fujian.
The governor's office has to take into account the attitude of the powerful people in Min County.
Now, these powerful people don't even care about the losses?
Let all parties regard Min County as a battlefield to give Your Highness a wake-up call?
"Maybe I know why the powerful people in Min County are willing." Seeing that Jiang Youwei was about to blow his beard and glare at Jiang Jinzhong again, Zhu Di smiled and took over the conversation, "There must be greater benefits..."
From the fact that only the powerful people brought their families and found various excuses to leave Min County.
It is not difficult to judge.
Fujian did this very confidentially.
Other small gentry and small landlords were kept in the dark.
Any war is a reshuffle of wealth.
This is faster than any reform. If you can become a winner, your wealth will increase faster.
…
"On the surface, the powerful people in Min County will suffer losses, but as long as a small group of people at the top of Fujian promise that other forces will not be allowed to enter Min County after the war, the powerful people in Min County will have reason to agree..."
After being plundered by Japanese pirates, Min County must be in a mess.
Countless people, small gentry, and small landlords died in the war.
The surviving powerful people.
They can divide up some real estate resources such as land and shops in Min County at a very small cost.
This is much greater than the loss of floating wealth!
"If I were a powerful person in Min County, I would also provide a list to the Japanese pirates and pirates, and let them plunder and kill according to this list..."
…
Jiang Youwei looked at Zhu Di talking and laughing, and his face was normal.
But his heart suddenly contracted.
A layer of cold sweat instantly seeped out of his back.
He had no way to verify whether his fellow powerful people in Min County did this.
But the Prince of Yan, who could come up with such a method that would never let anyone slip through the net, must be a heartless person if he gets ruthless!
He glanced at Jiang Jinzhong from the corner of his eye.
Fortunately, this silly son had such good fortune in his life and met the Prince of Yan early.
In the future, the Prince of Yan will govern Jian'an.
The Jiang family must follow the Prince of Yan's steps.
Never stand against the Prince of Yan.
Zhu Di didn't know that Jiang Youwei was very scared.
After analyzing, he said: "Let's go, after paying a visit to the Left Governor, we will go to Min County immediately."
Jiang Youwei's eyes widened in surprise.
Watch Zhu Di get on the horse.
He hurriedly grabbed the reins from Jiang Jinzhong, got on the horse first, followed Zhu Di, turned his head and looked at the five hundred cavalrymen behind him, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, since you know that Min County is in danger, why are you rushing to Min County?"
A son of a thousand gold does not sit in the hall.
Moreover, it would be easier for the brother-in-law of the Prince of Yan to govern Min County and promote the rural villages and communities by getting rid of those gentry under the pretext of the Japanese pirates.
Moreover, as long as Young Master Xu finds an excuse to stay for a few days, the Japanese pirates looted Min County before he took office.
This board can never be hit on Young Master Xu.
He considered from the perspective of a superior.
Doing so, although it is bad for the Prince of Yan and Young Master Xu, the benefits are obviously greater than the disadvantages.
Shen Zhi, Xu Huizu, Li Yu and others looked at Zhu Di.
Zhu Di looked at the few people and said seriously: "As a county magistrate, Huizu has the responsibility to protect the land and the people. We cannot ignore the people of Min County just because it is beneficial to us."
Even if they are gentry, they are also people of Min County.
It's okay to fight for internal interests.
But you can't ignore your responsibilities and missions for internal struggles.
Officials and generals.
If you really take this step, you will fall sooner or later.
He despises Feng Sheng.
Will he become the second Feng Sheng?
He would rather repel the Japanese pirates and turn around to deal with the disobedient gentry, rather than deliberately use the Japanese pirates as a local official to remove obstacles for himself.
"Huizu, remember, don't give yourself too many rules, but there are some rules that you must never touch!"
These words are mainly for Huizu.
Zhu Di saw Xu Huizu nodded seriously, obviously listening to him, and smiled: "Besides, it may not be without benefits for us to defend Min County. We came to Fujian to promote the new policy and promote the rural villages, not to eradicate the gentry. The gentry is just one of the difficulties on our way to promote the rural villages..."
When doing things, the main goal cannot be confused.
Otherwise, it will definitely not be done.
Promoting the rural villages.
And eradicating the gentry are two completely different purposes.
"In the face of a man-made disaster by people with ulterior motives, some people add insult to injury, and some people stand by and watch coldly. Because of our responsibilities and obligations, we stand up and stand at the forefront of the disaster, leading everyone through the disaster. Tell me, how do people in the disaster view us? How do the cold-eyed bystanders view us? How do those who add insult to injury view us?"
Xu Huizu frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled, "People in the disaster will believe us, and the cold-eyed bystanders will also have a good impression of us..."
Those gentry who watch coldly should also think about it.
When you encounter similar difficulties in the future, who will you follow to be the most secure!
Maybe you won't support them all at once.
But your attitude will change significantly.
It will also leave many possibilities for the future.
As for those who designed this war and took advantage of the situation.
As long as they win.
They can show their strength to these people.
Let them be afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
On the other hand, if they avoid it.
It will only make the enemies hiding in the dark feel their weakness and will be more eager to try!
...
Zhu Di was very satisfied with Xu Huizu's comprehension ability and smiled.
He did not establish the rural village community to eradicate the gentry.
Let's not talk about anything else.
In today's world, there is no group that can replace the gentry and assist the court in governing the world.
Whether the people are willing to admit it or not.
They don't have this ability.
What's more, the Ming Dynasty has only been established for more than ten years.
The wealth has just been reshuffled and distributed.
The resources held by the people are actually quite a lot.
At least, it is enough to support the accumulation of primitive wealth in the rural villages.
In his imagination, the rural villages are not a group of farmers farming.
Rather, they are diversified small economies.
Relying on the independent land output, they carry out breeding, textile, oil pressing, forging farm tools...
In the original code of the rural villages.
Each village, based on its own characteristics and capabilities, eventually develops and forms a small economy with its own characteristics, which is scattered all over the Ming Dynasty.
Go!
Zhu Di put away his thoughts, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he gently pinched the horse's belly. Xiao Hei understood and sped up immediately.
Jiang Youwei and Shen Zhi looked at Zhu Di's back.
Four words popped up in their minds at the same time: vigorous and vigorous!
Go!
Go!
...
Others whipped their horses and followed Zhu Di, quickly approaching Fuzhou Prefecture.
Jiang Jinzhong's horse was taken away by Jiang Youwei.
At first, he trotted slowly with the horse, listened to Zhu Di's words, and when everyone rode past him.
When the dust gradually settled.
The whole person reappeared with a dusty face, his eyes full of hurt, staring blankly at the back of the team leaving, muttering, "No one remembered, is there another person who was forgotten?"
The old housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion, who drove the carriage for Jiang Youwei, slowly approached with the carriage and whispered, "Young Master, the master must have thought that the young master was too tired to ride a horse all the way, so he left the carriage to the young master. The master is just not good at expressing fatherly love..."
'Is that so? '
Jiang Jinzhong's lips twitched fiercely, and he slowly turned his head, "Uncle, we father and son didn't hold a knife and fought each other. Thanks to you all these years."
Pat the old housekeeper on the shoulder.
Jiang Jinzhong climbed onto the carriage with great hurt.
...
Fuzhou North Gate.
Behind the Left Governor Ye Mao, a large group of people stood, looking forward to it.
The rolling dust waves appeared in sight.
Then, the rumbling sound of horse hooves came into the ears, and the horse hooves seemed to trample on everyone's hearts, and everyone's face changed.
"What is the King of Yan going to do?"
"Could it be that he is going to attack Fuzhou Prefecture directly?"
"It's obvious that he is angry!"
...
Ye Mao is middle-aged.
Somewhat plump.
His belly bulged his official robe, slightly raised, with a smile on the corners of his lips, and a shrewd flash in his eyes.
He listened to the discussions of the gentry and the staff of the Governor's Office behind him, and looked at the dust waves rolling in from afar.
Speaking of which, this prince settled in Jiangning.
He is half a fellow villager with him.
Some time ago, the old father at home was illiterate, and he specially asked his eldest grandson to write a letter to him, talking about Zhu Silang's various things in Jiangning.
To warn him.
The local village community set up by the King of Yan was for the poor people.
He also said that he had personally visited Tuqiao Village.
The old father praised him a lot in the letter.
What to say.
If the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was willing to do such a good deed, the eldest brother, eldest sister, third brother and others would not have starved to death.
He earnestly told him to help the Prince of Yan and build a good rural village in Fujian.
Unfortunately, he couldn't listen to his old father this time.
His old father was born a farmer and had no knowledge. He was rich and noble, but he still retained his simplicity. He believed that the Prince of Yan had done good things for the people, so he should help the Prince of Yan.
Officialdom, how could it be so simple.
Because he had studied, he had passed the examination for a scholar in the Yuan Dynasty.
Fortunately, he followed His Majesty early in the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and only then did he have his current status.
If he is not careful.
The glory and wealth of the Ye family will be gone.
His Majesty will eventually grow old.
He has to choose a way to continue his wealth.
The prince is undoubtedly the best choice.
If he still wants to integrate into the prince's system in the future and not be hated by the prince's system, he cannot get close to Zhu Silang.
In fact, Zhu Silang doesn't care what he wants to do with the local villages.
Anyway, it doesn't affect his interests.
He could learn from Shen Ren, neither offend nor get close to him, just keep a distance.
But Zhu Silang is also responsible for the task of eliminating pirates.
These years, he has guarded Fujian for your majesty.
He took too much money from those local tyrants who smuggled.
He wanted to stop.
But the local tyrants didn't want to stop.
If these people don't stop, they will be caught by Zhu Silang, and he will suffer.
Your majesty hates corruption the most.
With the amount of his corruption, once Zhu Silang finds out, I'm afraid your majesty will have to skin him and feed him with straw!
He can't turn back.
He can only use the Japanese pirates to destroy the personal soldiers brought by Zhu Silang.
Let the Japanese pirates show their strength and stop your majesty's idea of eliminating pirates.
The Ming Dynasty cannot fight on two fronts.
Your Majesty's greatest reliance is that Zhu Silang can deal with pirates in Fujian with his wisdom, with as little consumption as possible, or even without consuming the court's treasury.
If Zhu Silang falls hard in this matter.
For a long time, the Ming Dynasty will never think of exterminating the Japanese pirates again.
The maritime ban policy will continue to be implemented.
Wait for him to be transferred from Fujian.
Wait for the prince to succeed to the throne.
The things he has done will be permanently covered up.
Ye Mao was thinking.
A group of people rushed out of the dust waves.
When they were a hundred steps apart, the faces of the gentry behind Ye Mao had turned pale, and they even began to dodge to both sides in chaos to open the city gate.
Ye Mao stood firmly in the front.
If Zhu Silang came with his troops and horses now, he would trample him to death.
Even if he died, he would leave a great reputation.
Over the years, the wealth he accumulated for the Ye family would be preserved.
Family members will no longer have to starve to death without enough food, and if they die, they won't even have a thin coffin for burial.
So, he is not afraid!
He is afraid that Zhu Silang will not dare!
When he was a hundred steps away, Zhu Di suddenly raised his arm and clenched his fist.
The brothers behind him reined in their horses at the same time.
Under the strong inertia, they rushed forward for about fifty steps, and the five hundred riders stopped in unison.
The strong airflow, rolling up the dust waves, rushed towards Ye Mao.
Ye Mao narrowed his eyes slightly.
He looked at the five hundred riders lined up in the dust, and looked at the figure in front, sitting upright on the horse, with a heroic figure.
His face turned slightly pale.
Xu Huizu and others caught up from behind.
Zhu Di turned over and got off the horse.
Xu Huizu hurried to catch up.
The two men were covered in dust and walked quickly towards Ye Mao: "The subordinate Zhu Silang (Xu Huizu) pays homage to the governor!"
Ye Mao came back to his senses, 'Zhu Silang didn't dare to rush forward after all and trample me, the governor, to death with his warhorse! '
Then he smiled and said: "Your Highness, young master, I am so embarrassed."
The two sides exchanged a few words.
Ye Mao invited Zhu Di to enter the city.
Zhu Di smiled and shook his head to refuse, "Please forgive me, your Excellency. I heard that there are Japanese pirates who want to plunder Min County. I have to accompany Huizu to Min County as soon as possible."
"When I return triumphantly, I will definitely come to pay homage to you!"
...
After a while.
Ye Mao was stunned to see Zhu Di leading the cavalry. After appearing, he galloped away.
His expression was particularly solemn.
It was not surprising that Zhu Silang knew something.
After all, the Jiang family now took refuge with Zhu Silang.
But when Zhu Silang found out, he went to Min County without hesitation, which was unexpected and also made people fearful!
So confident?
So confident?
Or, too arrogant?
When Ye Mao was stunned, the gentry and powerful people behind him who had come to their senses, talked about it.
"Just take 500 soldiers and horses?"
"Did Dusi Shen Ren support him?"
"Impossible! Our people in Jian'an have been keeping an eye on him. Besides, Shen Ren doesn't want to get too close to Zhu Silang!"
"Too arrogant!"
"Arrogance will cost you a price!"
...
Everyone was shocked by Zhu Di's behavior of showing up outside the gate of Fuzhou and heading straight to Min County!
This chapter is 4,600 words, count as 4,000 words, and the next chapter is 6,000 words. I will try to write 10,000 words every day, then save some manuscripts, and then strive for a fixed release time.
After reaching a million words, I feel that all kinds of things are not smooth, and writing is not as fast as before.
This is the first time I write a novel. I don't know if others have encountered this situation, but I really encountered it. When there are detailed outlines, I always feel that it is not as smooth as before.
As soon as possible, save some manuscripts in the next few days. If I have nothing to do tomorrow, I should be able to save the next chapter.
Thank you for your support. I ask for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
