The reason why Zhu Laosi summoned Xia Yuanji, Zhang Fu and others was indeed as Zhang Fu guessed, that is, because of the rebellion in Shandong.

Where Tang Sai'er is sacred, Zhu Laosi doesn't care, and what kind of chaos is going on in Shandong, Zhu Laosi also doesn't care.

What really made Zhu Laosi angry was that the local government had the courage to conceal it and not report it, and the officers and soldiers were not effective in recruiting and suppressing them.

After waving his hand and ordering someone to untie Yang Shaofeng, Zhu Laosi directly threw the secret report handed over by Jinyiwei to Zhang Fu: "Look, the commander of Qingzhou Wei died in battle, and the soldiers and horses led by Sun Gong of Juzhou Qianhu were killed, and the local government concealed it and did not report it, if it wasn't for Jinyiwei to hand over the news, I'm afraid I don't know it now." ”

Zhu Laosi's voice was very calm, so calm that he couldn't hear a trace of anger, but Zhang Fu's hand holding the secret report shook unconsciously.

After thinking about it, Zhang Fu still sold Xu Jingchang in line with the idea that the dead Taoist friend will not die and the poor will not die: "Your Majesty, just before Dingguo Gong said that His Majesty has exempted the people from paying taxes, and those gentry will definitely increase the tenant rent, plus Shandong is either drought or flood, and the people can't survive, so naturally it will be revealed." ”

Zhu Laosi was rarely angry, but glanced at Xu Jingchang unexpectedly.

If you really talk about it, Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Dingguo, is actually similar to Xu Qin, the Duke of Wei, and they both belong to the kind of bastard who doesn't feel distressed when he breaks his leg.

But in just a few months, Xu Jingchang was able to say such a thing, which was enough to comfort Xu Zengshou's spirit in the sky.

There was no joy or anger on his face, Zhu Laosi just said lightly: "The question now is, what should I do with Shandong?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was worried about the base camp of Qingzhou, and immediately bowed down and said: "Father and Emperor, the sons and daughters think that they should send competent men to lead the troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible." ”

Zhu Laosi ignored Zhu Gaoxu, but instead set his eyes on Xia Yuanji: "What does Xia Aiqing think?" ”

Xia Yuanji bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister was just thinking about what the Duke of Dingguo said."

Your Majesty loves the people, and has exempted the people from paying taxes, and if the people can still live, they will not miss Your Majesty's kindness.

However, the current situation is a rebellion in Shandong, which has spread to more than a dozen prefectures and counties in just a dozen days.

The minister was thinking, how ruthless must he be to be so ruthless that he can be ruthless enough to collect seventy percent of the rent? ”

Xia Yuanji's words fell, and Zhu Laosi also sighed.

How ruthless must it be? As soon as it is mentioned, it is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, the land of saints, but these messy things are placed there, I am afraid that Confucius and Mencius will rise again in the ground, and they will be angry to death again.

However, compared with these ruthless gentry, those people in the officialdom are even more damned!

Concealment and non-reporting? Zhao'an?

If this goes on for a long time, will there be a situation where you want to be an official, kill people and set fires to be recruited? Will there be people who will kill officials and rebel once they are unhappy in their hearts?

Yes, in Zhu Laosi's view, those gentry deserve to die, the officials who conceal and fail to report should also die, those officials and soldiers who fail to counterbalance the rebellion should be punished, and those who take the lead in rebellion deserve to die even more!

Seeing that Zhu Laosi also began to sigh, Zhang Fu couldn't help but whisper: "Your Majesty can be relieved, no matter how chaotic Shandong is, it is just a disease of scabies, give the ministers 5,000 elite soldiers, and the rebellion can be quelled with only one hand." ”

Zhu Laosi shook his head, but did not speak.

Yes, the rebellion can indeed be quelled with one hand, especially when Zhang Fu said this, it means that Zhang Fu is really confident that he can rely on 5,000 elite soldiers to quell the rebellion.

But what about after the rebellion was put down?

Yang Shaofeng suddenly whispered: "Why do you sigh grandfather? Why don't you let Shandong mess up first? ”

Xia Yuanji was suddenly dissatisfied, glared at Yang Shaofeng and said, "What are you talking about?" Still make Shandong a mess? Did you know that the longer it drags on now, the more troublesome it will be to settle down in the future? ”

Yang Shaofeng saw that Zhu Laosi was still expressionless, so he pondered and said: "Shandong is in chaos now, in fact, it is not necessarily a bad thing, on the contrary, it is much better to be chaotic now than to be chaotic in the future."

Just like when a person is sick, occasionally a minor illness is not necessarily a bad thing, if you don't get sick all the time, once you get sick, you may die. ”

Zhu Zhanji also helped beside him: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson thinks that what my brother said is that it is indeed good to be in chaos over there in Shandong." ”

If Yang Shaofeng alone said this, Xia Yuanji and Zhang Fu could still understand it, and now even Zhu Zhanji said the same, not only Xia Yuanji and Zhang Fu were confused, but even Zhu Laosi was a little confused.

"As the saying goes, if it is not broken, it will not be established," Zhu Zhanji said after careful consideration: "The problem in Shandong has existed for more than a day or two, and it is indeed better to be chaotic now than to be chaotic in the future." ”

Xia Yuanji said: "If it's not messy, wouldn't it be better?" ”

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "There are no outsiders left and right now, so if I have anything to say, I will say it directly."

If it is just to quell the rebellion, let alone say that it is a British duke, even if I am sure to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to put it down.

But after the current rebellion is put down, the people will still not be able to survive if they should not be able to live, and those gentry who are expropriating and extorting will still be expropriating and extorting, and there will be no fundamental change in nature at all.

If Shandong is allowed to be chaotic, at least those gentry can see the power of the people, and when the rebellion is completely quelled in the future, the gentry of the world will be more restrained, and temporarily suffer from Shandong, but the people of the world can suffer some long-term benefits. ”

Look, in the end, it is the grandson of the emperor, and in the end it is the successor cultivated by Zhu Laosi, speaking of these nonsense is simply like an old sow wearing a bra, one after another.

Yang Shaofeng bowed to Zhu Laosi, and then said, "My grandson is willing to go to Shandong to patrol Shandong for my grandfather." ”

"No!" Xia Yuanji wanted to dispel Yang Shaofeng's idea: "The Shandong rebels have their own military government to deal with the counterinsurgency, and the people and officialdom also have their own supervision and imperial history visits, and it is better for the champion to stay in Shunfu." ”

Zhu Laosi also hummed and said, "What are you doing in Shandong?" It's not enough to make a mess! ”

Yang Shaofeng said: "My grandson just wants to go to Shandong, and it is best to go to Jimo to be a county magistrate." ”

"Jimo?" Xia Yuanji suddenly became anxious: "That's even worse, the rebels are now marching towards Jimo, and Zhuangyuan Gong can't go!" ”

If someone else goes to Jimo to send him to death or not, Xia Yuanji doesn't care, but Yang Shaofeng goes to Jimo, it definitely won't work.

Seventy thousand taels of silver, there is still a lot left for each of the Shandong rebels of 10,000 taels of silver, but don't dare to let a fortune boy like Yang Shaofeng take the risk!

Zhu Laosi was interested: "Haven't you bastard always liked to make salted fish, how dare you take the initiative to go to Shandong this time?" ”

Shaking his head, Zhu Laosi continued: "I forgot, when you were in Liaozhou, you made a mistake and took the 5,000 soldiers of Liaozhou Wei to block the river embankment, and only a person with brain disease like you can do it." ”

Are you praising me? I'll just be praising me!

Yang Shaofeng secretly complained in his heart, and then bowed to Zhu Laosi and said: "Back to my grandfather's words, in fact, my grandson has some ideas in his heart and wants to go to Jimo to try." ”

Zhu Laosi hummed and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Don't let him say it!" Xia Yuanji hurriedly said: "How can Your Majesty let the champion go to Jimo?" This sword has no eyes, and if there is a mistake, the treasury ......"

"Don't mention the treasury," Yang Shaofeng said: "Seventy thousand taels of silver is enough for a hundred years of rats in your treasury!"

Besides, I'm not really sick in the brain, I just went to Jimo to try some ideas in my mind and see if I can completely solve the problem in Shandong.

If it is feasible, my idea can be pushed to other regions, and Daming will not have to worry about the people not being able to eat in the future. ”

As soon as Yang Shaofeng's words fell, even Zhu Laosi was a little moved-don't worry about the people not being able to eat, that is more important than ten thousand taels of silver!

After carefully looking at Yang Shaofeng a few times, Zhu Laosi spoke: "Say, what do you think?" ”

Yang Shaofeng said: "My grandson wants to go to Jimo, because I want to see if I can start from planting, breeding, commerce, rivers, bridges, transportation, etc., so that the people can get rich first."

In addition, it is to try the seeds that Zheng Gonggong brought back from overseas to see if there are any suitable ones and whether they can make the grain more productive. ”

Zhu Laosi snorted and said, "Let Qin Zining lead 5,000 troops to go with you, and I will let Wu Keqin lead the 3,000 cavalry of the Xiaoyi Battalion to go with you." ”

Waving his hand to stop Xia Yuanji, who wanted to speak, Zhu Laosi continued: "Okay, this matter is settled." ”

Xia Yuanji hurriedly said: "The rebels in Shandong? ”

Zhu Laosi said: "What are you panicking about." He has 5,000 troops and 3,000 cavalry, if the rebels can still hurt him, then it will be the same if he hides in the capital, even I, the emperor, is not safe.

As for the rebels, according to what Junji said, let the rebels chaos for a while, and the British will be ready to quell the rebellion at any time. ”

After all the things were ordered, Zhu Laosi spoke: "Stand down, Zhanji, you two stay." ”

After everyone else had withdrawn, Zhu Laosi turned his head and instructed Wuxin: "Let everyone retreat a hundred steps away, and there is no need to leave someone to guard outside the hall, let the historian who recorded the living notes also retreat first, and there is no need to keep a file for the following things." ”

He bowed unintentionally, and then walked towards the outside of the temple, and only came back after a long time to close the door of the temple.

Only then did Zhu Laosi look at Yang Shaofeng and said, "Just now, you just looked at me vigorously, what do you want to do." ”

Yang Shaofeng bowed down and said, "Grandfather, righteous brother, these statements are just an excuse for some of the grandson's ideas. ”

Zhu Laosi hummed and said, "Say it." ”

Yang Shaofeng gave Zhu Zhanji, who was full of worry, a reassuring look, and then said directly: "Sun Er just wants to get rid of some people through the hands of the rebels. ”

Zhu Laosi said: "Which one? When the time comes, your reputation will ......."

"What other reputation does the grandson have? Anyway, it's already stinky on the street, and after spraying those official trolls today, my grandson doesn't mind that my reputation stinks a little more. ”
