These people usually work together, or engage in the activities of selling illicit salt together, and their organization and discipline are stronger than that of ordinary farmers who farm the land, they are more organized, more united, and their combat effectiveness is also stronger, and they are naturally rebellious talents, not to mention Wang Xianzhi, Huang Chao and others of the previous generation, and at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen who were born as salt dealers.

It's just that most of these people often have characteristics such as not wanting to make progress, greedy for enjoyment, arrogant and lascivious, and conniving at their subordinates because of the limitations of their vision and knowledge, so they can only divide one side at most, and it is difficult to jump into the dragon gate and become the true dragon son who finally swept the Eight Desolations and Liuhe.

In the end, they were all swallowed up by the real male lord, whether it was Huang Chao, Zhang Shicheng, or Fang Guozhen, they could not escape such a fate, it can only be said that most of the people from the bottom have the character of being rich and peaceful, and there are deficiencies in both ambition and will.

But I have to admit that their destructive power is first-class, when Zhu Biao met the family in Hangzhou, if the Li family did not show up, then they would all die that day, Zhu Biao will not indulge the salt dealers who are backed by the Jiangnan family to grow stronger.

Fortunately, Li Qiantang is smart enough and knows the truth that the world has set a general situation, and Zhu Biao also thinks that it is a pity to get rid of such a force, and it just so happens that Tang Ding still needs to employ people, so he will give them a way out.

Then after a while, Chen Youzong took the initiative to leave: "It's not early, Your Highness should rest early, and the ministers will prepare the grain when they go back, and it just so happens that the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are almost dredged, and it is very convenient to transport grain there." ”

Zhu Biao nodded: "That's fine, Liu Jin, you go and send it." ”

The two people below bowed and retreated, Zhu Biao raised his pen and calculated, it was probably enough to fight in the north for two months, with this unplanned food injection, the imperial court was much more relaxed in the dispatch of all parties, not to mention that the clans outside the south of the Yangtze River may not all be stupid, and they can more or less come up with two or three hundred thousand stones.

What's more, there is also the big entry of copying the house, and it is absolutely not okay for the court to raid the house for the sake of other people's property, but if the other party first violates the law and discipline and corrupts the officials to make the country difficult to make money, then don't blame the court for the death.

When Liu Jin came back when he left the Wenhua Palace, there was no Liu Jin personally sent it at night, and it was impossible for Chen Youzong to leave the palace without spending an hour, and the layers of inspections would not give him preferential treatment because he was a positive third product.

Seeing that Liu Jin's face was full of joy, Zhu Biao asked with a smile: "How much benefit does this give you, are you happy to be like this?" ”

Liu Jin took the lantern of the little eunuch on the side and walked beside Zhu Biao and said: "Chen Tongzheng gave the slave and maid a silver ticket of two thousand taels, such a large number of slaves and maids should not have been collected, and the master was asked to condemn him." ”

Zhu Biao also knew that Liu Jin was not a greedy person, and he accepted the money just to subsidize the use of the East Palace, after all, the dignified prince could not use the princess's dowry to live.

Zhu Biao held his hand and said: "Since you have taken more care of other people's money, Miss Chen will enter the palace next year, and there will be a time for you to behave." ”

Liu Jin smiled beside him: "The slave knows, but is it too late next year?" ”

Zhu Biao solved the big trouble and was in a good mood: "There must be someone who comes first and then comes, the Li family and the Gaoli family, the status and identity are all placed, not to mention that it was indeed decided earlier than her." ”

In fact, according to common sense, these two people should have entered the East Palace a long time ago, but Zhu Biao has been busy recently and didn't think much about it, Queen Ma may be taking care of Chang Luohua, so there is no Zhang Luo, and Lao Zhu has no heart to care about such a trivial matter, especially after Chang Luohua is pregnant.

But it can't be delayed anymore, the Li family and Gao Li are urging, it is estimated that these two will enter the East Palace this year, in the end, it is not the crown prince and concubine, and there will not be too much ceremony, the day is set to set a few tables, this is still because of the noble status of these two people, otherwise they will be brought in directly.

At this time, Chang Luohua had already fallen asleep, Zhu Biao didn't bother her, called Nuan Yu to serve and fell asleep, Yun Jin came back late recently, there are many things in the harem, Queen Ma is also used to relying on Yun Jin to do things, so she can only wait to give them a place in the future, if she can have a son and a half daughter for a lifetime, you will be rich and happy.

Early the next morning, although there is no need to go to the morning court, but there is still a trip to the Ministry of Rites, tomorrow Fu Youde will take the Xia lord Ming Sheng to the capital, Zhu Biao will come forward to accept the surrender and canonize him as the Marquis of Guiyi, and give him a residence in the capital.

Although the insulting ceremony was not adopted, the attitude that the loser should have should still be had, and the Ministry of Rites had already formulated the regulations, and Zhu Biao wanted to take a look, and if there was no objection, the Ministry of Rites would prepare immediately.

It was already noon when the processing was finished, Zhu Biao returned to the palace to accompany his father to review the chapters, although the officials of the six departments were generally made up, but they were all forcibly promoted by the generals among the dwarfs, and the ability level is very average at present, which makes Zhongshu Province and Zhu Yuanzhang even busier.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked while criticizing: "You met Chen Youzong last night, what did you say, how much can they come up with?" ”

Zhu Biao didn't look up and replied directly: "At least one hundred and twenty thousand stones, but any more is only one hundred and forty and five hundred thousand stones." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Damn, these high-ranking families are rich, and our treasury is about to run out of rats, they still have so much, we originally thought that they would be able to have four or five hundred thousand stones." ”

Zhu Biao put down his pen and said with a smile: "My father and emperor underestimate them too much, and the family background that can survive the troubled times is not ordinarily rich, not to mention the Jiangnan who is rich in the world, and the sons estimate that the Jiangnan clan alone has at least two million stone in stock, but they have to keep a little, and it is the reason why the Chen family takes the lead in taking the lead in taking so much." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "The Jiangnan clan is rich, and the Shanxi side is not bad, we have to think about it." ”

Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "Father's more than one million stone of grain can not be said to solve all the problems of the Ming Dynasty, but it is enough to solve the urgent need, after all, the north is not ready to fight big, since this is the case, the rest is natural, do not deliberately kill the rich." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with some pity, he didn't know the high cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt, he opened his eyes every day, and tens of millions of people in the world were waiting to be fed, and he still really wanted to slaughter those rich and oily big families to eat meat.

Zhu Biao was relieved to see that his father dispelled the idea of digging pits and killing people, the most important thing in the early years of the founding of the country was stability, after years of war, the population of the people has decreased sharply, and now it is not that the land is not enough to plant, but that it cannot be planted.

Although the family has a lot of land, it is nothing compared to the hands of the imperial court, and the acres left by the former princes and nobles of the Yuan Dynasty are still in the hands of the imperial court, except for the acres left by Zhu Yuanzhang, the rest are still in the hands of the imperial court, and what is lacking is the people who cultivate.
