Chapter 269: Back to the Palace
After a long while, Liu Jin came in and said, "Master, Governor Chen asks to see you." ”
Zhu Biao put down the paper in his hand and said casually: "Call in." ”
Unlike other people, Chen Youzong will be the link between Zhu Biao and the family in the future, and he is also the person he wants to promote and reuse, so he naturally has to find out the details, whether he really has administrative ability, or just rely on his family background to make Hangzhou so prosperous.
What I just saw was all the policies he had since he took office, although he was suspected of relying on his family background, but this person's ability was still good, and it was more than enough to be a prefect.
Then first transfer to Zhongshu Province and then find an opportunity to be a waiter in the household department, and it will be easy to arrange in the future, the official positions of the imperial court are still relatively chaotic, and the responsibilities of some yamen overlap, Zhu Biao also plans to sort it out after returning to Beijing.
Just thinking about it, he heard Chen Youzong's voice, asked him to get up and sit down, and said: "This palace will return to Beijing tomorrow, and the affairs of Jiangnan will be closed by you, and you will be rewarded for doing a good job, if you want to hide from the world, don't blame this palace for being ruthless." ”
Chen Youzong nodded, he naturally understood that His Royal Highness was worried that the Shi clan was playing tricks on the matter of returning the fields, this was not a matter for the imperial court, if the Shi clan had a heart, those acres would still return to their hands in the end.
Chen Youzong stood up and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, if this matter is not resolved thoroughly, the minister will not have the shame to go to Beijing to meet His Highness." ”
He was called by his wife when he returned home just now, and when he arrived, the whole family was looking at the jade pendant in his daughter's hand, and Chen Youzong could see at a glance that it was made by the palace, so he understood everything.
Zhu Biao knew that there was no problem with Chen Youzong's demeanor, not to mention that he would also leave the pro-army Governor's Mansion to observe secretly, if any family was really strong and wanted to offer all the family property, then Zhu Biao could only accept it.
The above board can really alleviate the needs of the imperial court, the best is the Zhang family, Zhu Biao looked at the family property on his bright face and was a little greedy, this is really not a family business that one or two generations can save, but it is a pity that the Zhang family is a stable horse.
Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "In the past, it was a troubled time, and it was normal for your family to recruit some dead guards, but now it is different, the imperial court will not allow you to have such a force, not to mention that you also know that no matter how many times it is, it is impossible for the imperial court to be the opponent of the imperial court, let it go, don't leave a handle for yourself." ”
Chen Youzong bowed down and agreed, and then said: "I'll wait for it to say, there won't be many people left when the fields are scattered, but I don't know how the Li family will arrange it, and those outlaws may cause chaos if they are released." ”
Zhu Biao is right to think about it this way, the salt dealers are extremely unstable, even without the Li family, they will not be at ease to be good citizens, but it is a bit of a waste to kill them all, it is better to send them to the sea to replenish Tang Ding's manpower.
If it is really done, it is not impossible to give the Li family an official body, and selling illicit salt is not a capital crime for Zhu Biao, after all, it is just a necessity of life, official salt in remote places is too expensive, and the poor people can't afford to eat it at all, but how can people do without salt.
After thinking about it, he instructed Chen Youzong to arrange it, and carefully told the matter of releasing the tenants and distributing the acres of land, and if it was done well, the development of the Ming Dynasty could be accelerated a lot, and Jiangnan was a good place after all.
Chen Youzong retreated late at night, and Zhu Biao also rested, I really want to have a good time, but unfortunately there is no time to waste now, just like working harder in the spring ploughing, and the autumn harvest and winter storage can have a rich year.
Early the next morning, Zhu Biao had an breakfast in Chen's house, and then went directly out of the city to prepare to return to Beijing.
A few days later, he arrived outside Nanjing, and when Zhu Biao returned to Beijing, many people naturally greeted him, even Hu Weiyong came, and now he is Zhu Biao and has to give some decency.
Looking at the group of people on the ground, Zhu Biao jumped off the horse and personally picked up the leader Hu Weiyong and said with a smile: "This palace has been outside for a long time, and I haven't congratulated Hu Xiang on his promotion to the right prime minister." ”
Hu Weiyong humbly bowed down and replied: "How dare you accept the congratulations of Your Highness, Your Highness has worked hard for the country from north to south, and the minister is eager to serve the king before and after the saddle."
Zhu Biao smiled, Hu Weiyong was still very cautious at this time, and the rest of the officials stepped forward to greet them one by one, in addition to civil officials, many noble generals also came to greet them.
A group of people returned to the city in a mighty way, when Zhu Biao entered the city gate, he looked at the soldiers guarding the city who were saluting on the ground, and the leader was clearly Lan Yu, Zhu Biao snorted coldly and said: "How is General Lan now, but he is still arrogant?" ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for him to reply, he left directly, Lan Yu, this guy dared to open a dyeing workshop if he gave three points of color, and he had to press it for another two years, otherwise he really didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and Zhu Biao would not be able to tolerate him if there was any trouble in the future.
The officials behind Zhu Biao glanced at each other, stepped forward to help Lan Yu and said comfortingly: "The love is deep and the responsibility is keen, what I am afraid of is that Your Highness should not have you, and now I can still scold you just remember you, and the general will have a comeback sooner or later." ”
Lan Yu is not a fool, naturally knows the reason why Zhu Biao deliberately scolded him, if the prince just passed by like this, then Lan Yu would not have any face, and calmly said to the officials who comforted him: "The last general will still be on duty at the city gate, so I won't accompany him much, and you should hurry up and follow Your Highness." ”
It's noon, Zhu Biao went straight to the palace after being polite with the officials for a while, thinking that his father should be handling government affairs in the imperial study, and was taken to Kunning Palace by the palace maid next to Queen Ma.
Zhu Biao felt very happy when he walked in the palace, no matter how beautiful Jiangnan was, it was not as good as his own home, this feeling of peace of mind could not be experienced outside, and when he walked to the gate of Kunning Palace, he saw his crown princess standing there pretty.
Seeing Zhu Biao arrive, Chang Luohua hurriedly greeted him, and was just about to bow down when he was stopped by his husband, Chang Luohua was a little embarrassed, Zhu Biao smiled and patted her hand and asked, "Father, queen and queen are all there?" ”
Chang Luohua smiled softly: "I am waiting for Your Highness, my father will come to Kunning Palace after the Emperor." ”
Zhu Biao nodded and walked in, inside Queen Ma hugged Zhu Lu and coaxed, Zhu Yuanzhang was watching the concert on the side, looking at Zhu Lu from time to time, in the end, it was the little girl who came out, and Lao Zhu was also very fond of it.
Zhu Biao saw this scene after leading Chang Luohua into the house, and walked forward with a smile and knelt down and kowtowed: "My son is back, and my father and queen mother are worried." ”
Before Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma could speak, Zhu Lu pounced on her brother, the little girl was six years old, it was hard for her to be separated for so long, and she still remembered her own brother.
Queen Ma was also quite excited and hurriedly called him, Zhu Biao stood up with Zhu Lu in his arms, and then glanced at his father, the father and son had nothing to say on this occasion.
Queen Ma pulled Zhu Biao to care, Lao Zhu looked like he was concentrating on watching the concert, but he listened carefully for a while, and when he saw that there was indeed no problem, he coughed and said: "Okay, no one dares to treat him badly, let's eat." ”
