But seeing that Dusk had no intention of retiring, Zhu Di was speechless, "Is there anything else?" Can't finish it all at once? ”

And there's more.

Not to mention, now Zhu Di is extremely ambivalent about his desire to see him at dusk.

See, all sorts of things.

Don't see, most of the things that Dusk said are for the country, which makes the emperor look forward to it.

Dusk smiled: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Wechen has one last thing, in case Wechen and the Ministry of Household reach a cooperation, this involves the transportation of a large amount of gold, and the security work is very important, but Wechen doesn't dare to use the public weapon for private use and then let Saihazhi mobilize the Nanzhen Fusi Ti Cavalry, so Wechen wants to form a private force by himself, one or twenty people are enough, and Wechen will buy the standard equipment of this twelve people from the Ministry of War." ”

As soon as this power was established, the Times Trading Company had the prototype of the East India Company.

Of course, this matter must be reported to Zhu Di.

And it must!

Otherwise, with the status of twilight, the formation of a private force is tantamount to rebellion.

Zhu Di thought about it, there are only one or twenty people, not many.

Tolerable.

Generally, there are so many nursing homes in large households, but the twenty people at dusk are professional forces, not as simple as nursing homes, but they are still within the controllable range.

Waving his sleeves, "Alright, you can get out." ”

Dusk grinned, saluted, and was in a good mood, so he said "Thank you, Lord Longen".

Zhu Di looked at the back of turning around after going out at dusk, and was stunned, what the hell is Lord Longen, no one has been so grateful before.

Don't say it, it's very cool to listen to.

Without further ado.

At dusk, he left the Qianqing Hall and ran directly to the Yamen of the Household Department.

Xia Yuanji, the head of the household, was about to release the ya, but saw a principal hurriedly come in, saying that the commander of the Chinese army in the Shenji Battalion asked to see Xia Shangshu at dusk, Xia Yuanji was stunned, and he came to find himself to do something.

I guess it's not good.

After thinking for a while, he said to the principal: "You go and inform the rest of your colleagues to release the ya, and I will go to meet this Commander Huang." ”

The two sides saluted and sat down.

Dusk actually has a lot of respect for this old Jianwen minister.

Xia Yuanji is indeed a talent, during the Hongwu period, because of the recommendation of the township and entered Taixue, was elected to the palace to write the edict, and that Gu sat alone Gu Zuo, Xia Yuanji was not gregarious when he was young, sometimes the students laughed loudly, but Xia Yuanji sat still.

After Taizu saw it, he felt that this kid was good, calm and atmospheric, and he was a person who did big things, so he was promoted to the head of the household department.

Soon it was appreciated by the new book of the household.

coincided with Yu Xin's impeachment of lazy people in various departments, Taizu had killed enough courtiers at that time, and he didn't know what was going on, and wanted to be merciful and lenient to them, but Yu Xin insisted on not allowing it.

Taizu angrily asked Yu Xin who taught him.

Yu Xin is also upright, and directly said that he was a scholar behind the hall.

Scholar is an official position.

Taizu then arrested the scholar and put him in prison.

There was a Lang Zhong surnamed Liu, who was jealous of Xia Yuanji's talent, so he slandered Taizu and said: "In this matter, it is Xia Yuanji who teaches Yu Shangshu to insist on setting off from various lazy courtiers. ”

Taizu is He and others, how can he be fooled and angry, "Xia Yuanji can help Yu Xin deal with household affairs, he is a rare talent, do you want to frame him?" ”

The consequences of offending Taizu are very serious.

As a result, Liu Langzhong and Shushusheng were both executed, and their bodies were violently on the streets.

Therefore, when Hongwu is an official in the court, his head is really hung on his waist at any time, and he will be hung up one day accidentally, and this Liu Langzhong has become a laughing stock because of such a sentence.

This is just a trivial matter for Xia Yuanji to gain the trust of Taizu in the Hongwu Dynasty.

What really made Twilight admire was the aftermath.

In the early years of Jianwen, Xia Yuanji was promoted to the right attendant of the household department, and in the following year, he served as an interview envoy, inspected Fujian, and inspected the counties, counties and townships he passed, and inspected the good and bad treatment of the officials, and asked the people about their suffering, and became famous.

After the martyrdom, Xia Yuanji was arrested and dedicated to Zhu Di, but Zhu Di not only did not cut off his head, but also reused Xia Yuanji, promoted to the left servant of the household department, and was promoted to the head of the household after Yu Xin's death.

During this period, Xia Yuanji did a great thing that benefited the country and the people.

Flood control.

In the first year of Yongle, there was a big flood in western Zhejiang, and the relevant officials were not well governed, Zhu Di ordered Xia Yuanji to go to govern, and soon ordered Li Wenyu to be his deputy, and sent Yu Shiji, the imperial historian of the capital, to bring water conservancy books to him.

Xia Yuanji please follow the old road of the three rivers into the sea opened by Dayu, mobilize more than 100,000 migrant workers, dredge the lower reaches of the Wusong River, connect to the Taihu Lake, and then, build a sluice gate on the ground, and open and close the sluice gate according to the season.

After the completion of the project back to Beijing, he said that although the water has been from the old road into the sea, but the tributaries have not been all dredged, is not a long-term solution, Yongle two years of the first month, Xia Yuanji again went to the west of Zhejiang, dredged Baimaotang, Liujiahe, Dahuangpu, in September of the same year The project was completed, the flow of water is smooth, Suzhou, Songjiang farmland to obtain great profits.

In the third year of Yongle, Xia Yuanji returned to Beijing. In the summer of this year, there was a severe famine in western Zhejiang, and Xia Yuanji was ordered to lead Yu Shiji, the imperial historian of the capital, Yuan Fu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Zhao Juren, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Zhao Juren, the head of Zuo Tongzheng, to go to the relief and distribute 300,000 stone of grain, and to supply the hungry people with cattle and seeds.

Even Yao Guangxiao was full of praise.

After entering the office at dusk, although he has been fighting in the wind and waves, he is still clear about these political affairs, and he respects this household secretary.

Xia Yuanji has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and his youthful sharpness has worn off a lot.

Meet and confidant.

found that the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, the commander of the Chinese army, had a lot of respect for himself, so he put down the shelf of Shangshu, everyone is like this, you respect me a foot, and I pay you back.

smiled: "What's the matter with Commander Huang?" ”

Dusk smiled, "There is indeed something, I just came out of His Majesty's side, and I came to see Shangshu at this moment, I plan to send money to the household department." ”

Xia Yuanji was happy, "It's not interesting to send this money to the household department, shouldn't you give it to Your Majesty?" ”

He actually admired Twilight as well.

The poor are good alone, and the good are good for the world.

Dusk did just that.

Dusk hehe, "It's all the same, that's the case, I went to your majesty and suggested reforming the monetary system, but Your Majesty hasn't made a decision yet, and I guess I want to discuss it with Xia Shangshu and other important ministers, this matter will probably take some time to settle, and I personally have some things that can't be delayed, so after starting Your Majesty and getting his consent, I came to Xia Shangshu to discuss." ”

Calling myself me.

Instead of being humble or downgraded, at this point, Dusk has this confidence, and it is not that he disrespects Xia Yuanji, but in this way, it can bring the relationship between the two closer together.

Xia Yuanji thought thoughtfully, "This is sending money?" ”

How it feels like you're here to make money.

"It's all the same, it's not just to send money to the household, but also to make money myself, a win-win situation." ”

Xia Yuanji, "Let's talk about it." ”

If it can really be a win-win situation, and the household department does not have to take risks, it can be operated, and it can be filled with the treasury.
