Jiao Fang, Zhu Houzhao understands.

Although this person is not proficient in literature, he is a very capable person.

Under the suppression of a group of bigwigs such as Ma Wensheng, he must have the means to climb from a Zhizhou to the prefect, and then climb to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and then be crowned a university scholar.

It also shows the tenacity of Jiao Fang's temperament!

The reason why Zhu Houzhao wanted to use Jiao Fang was that this guy known as Jiao Aconitum and Jiao Da Face couldn't get along with the southerners at all!

In other words, as long as Jiao Fang goes to the Ministry of Industry, there are people in Jiangnan who want to be corrupt and want to benefit from it.

will definitely be cleaned up by this ruthless guy!

In this way, the situation that the Ministry of Industry is up and down can at least eliminate more than half!

The most important thing is that when the Tatars entered the Central Plains, they not only burned, killed and looted, but also razed the Jiao family to the ground.

As a result, this guy has become a staunch main battle faction...... Just imagine, if there is a war against the Tatars, and there is a guy who hates the Tatars to the core, will there be a shortage of materials and logistics?

Can the quality of materials be guaranteed?

Therefore, it is completely preferred to push Jiao Fang to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

What's more, this guy's qualifications are completely sufficient.

But now the problem is stuck here, Zeng Jian resigned several times, and he couldn't write the content of the Zhishi recital book over and over again, and Emperor Hongzhi didn't agree.

However, this old man is a person who is extremely averse to business.

If you want to say that this old man did wrong, he didn't do anything wrong.

During his tenure as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry during the Hongzhi period, he was able to save hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for the imperial court every year.

Of course!

What dragon carpets and plain carpets made by the secretary and superintendent for the royal family, what craftsmen need to be recruited by the Inner Needle Work Bureau, what fireworks for the Shangyuan Festival, the repair of Longhu Mountain, the supervision of Long Live Mountain, the mansion of a certain royal family, and the weaving work of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau were all either stopped, stopped, or halved by this boss!

If it's a previous life......

Whether it is Emperor Hongzhi or Zhu Houzhao, of course he thinks that this old man is loyal to the country.

But now......

Zhu Houzhao wants to vigorously develop the economy of the Ming Dynasty, isn't this old man the first obstacle to the road?

Again!

He stopped making dragon blankets, and the Neifu Needlework Bureau stopped recruiting craftsmen, and how many people lost their jobs? How many people don't have anything to eat?

So, is it possible to make a fortune in some places?

He forbade the construction of mansions and stopped the weaving bureau, which seemed to save money for the imperial court, but in fact, the harem did not need to be used?

Even if the queen doesn't need it, the queen mother doesn't need it?

Imperial relatives don't need it?

Obviously, the inner government can rely on this craft to earn 108,000 yuan a year, and as a result, some businessmen can make a lot of money!

So, why did Emperor Hongzhi farm his own land?

It's not like these guys are poor in Neku!

So much so that the dignified queen wants to weave clothes by herself!

The most important thing is that Zeng Jian seems to have saved a lot in this way. But in fact, it has reduced employment, reduced the income of the inner treasury, and made the world's best craftsmen have no food!

This greatly hinders the development of technology!

Let's just say that the master craftsman of the Ministry of Industry who built the rocket car didn't even have a tael of silver for a month!

In this case, can the created thing be good?

And what innovations can be?

Just talking about Zhu Houzhao's management of the Huangzhuang, this old man has countless crookedness.

His plan is to abolish the Imperial Estate!

His reason is also good - anyway, the royal family is supported by the people of the world, what do you want these extravagant things for!

Zhu Houzhao reacted!

Are you an official of the imperial court? Or was it the spokesman of some gentry? Are you a Ming man or an undercover Tatar agent?

But it's still that sentence, can it be said that Master Zeng Jian did something wrong?

He was just deeply influenced by Confucianism.

This old man is a 100% Confucian intellectual.

All those so-called 'son' remarks were taken as a guideline by this old man!

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao really wants to reform and make the Ming Dynasty rich and strong, and his real opponent is - Confucianism!

Of course, Zhu Houzhao's current small body ...... Even Emperor Hongzhi was helpless against Confucianism.

However, it's not impossible.

What do Confucians like to do the most?

Bait and switch!

For example, the Rupi bone!

Therefore, the reason why Zhu Houzhao went to find this old man was for the Yellow River.

He wants to use the Yellow River as an excuse, and he, the prince, is willing to donate some goods to vigorously dredge to avoid more waterlogging!

Speaking of the Yellow River, we have to mention a strange status quo in the Ming Dynasty.

Shanxi is a little better, after all, the Yellow River can affect only a few counties.

But Henan and Shandong are suffering greatly!

Although Henan and Shandong have been the most sinful places since the Yellow River, the Ming Dynasty has exacerbated this crime!

Because, in order to transport the grain, in order to ensure that the grain in the south of the Yangtze River can reach the Beijing division smoothly.

Thus did the most bizarre thing.

Plug the downstream, dig upstream.

The beautiful name is called: the national policy of blocking the north and dividing the south!

Itself, the Yellow River to Jinan to Dongying into the sea.

But Liu Daxia's plan was to block it in Shandong and connect it to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

To put it bluntly, regardless of the high terrain in the southwest and the low terrain in the northeast at the junction of Henan and Shandong, we forcibly built a dam to block the northeast and forced the Yellow River to go to Huaishui!

Then, in the south, the diversion is carried out.

What happens like this?

The consequences of this unscientific disregard for the laws of nature are...... Grain from the south could be transported to the north, but due to the diversion of the Yellow River, the water became slow, and the soil erosion on the Loess Plateau was too severe.

Gradually!

If the sediment can't be washed away, it's blocked!

Don't you understand the disadvantages of this?

Of course I understand!

Even Emperor Hongzhi said: "The ancients ruled the river to eliminate harm for the people, and today the river is to prevent the transportation of the road and cause the national plan to be misunderstood, and the relationship is not detailed......

This sentence alone is enough to prove that everyone understands.

Well, now that it's over.

Dredging vigorously in the south!

Let the branch river be blocked a few times!

When the weather is dry, dig the channel deeper!

What is ironic is that the dredging of the Ming Dynasty is pitiful, but these second goods are desperately trying to repair the river embankment.

———— subparagraph————

But the first time he saw Zeng Jian, Zhu Houzhao became sad.

Zeng Jian and Qin Hong are not the same.

Qin Hong's golden iron horse, galloping on the battlefield, really has a good physique.

Even if Elder Qin Hong was seventy-seven years old, his figure was not much worse than that of a young man.

But Zeng Jian is different, he has really entered the last years of the wind and candle.

is also different from the trembling and majestic old eunuch Xiao Jing, a top master like Xiao Jing, even if he is a character with great martial will, he may not be able to please the old eunuch.

But once it was seen, it was a real trembling tower.

Zhu Houzhao clearly saw that the old man's right hand was shaking at an extremely high frequency.

Obviously, there are no more years to live.

Sadly, Daming is actually helmed by such a person, how can it not be reasonable!

This only strengthened Zhu Houzhao's determination!

Help Tsang.

He immediately changed the plan of dredging the Yellow River to care about the body of Zeng Jian.
