Only the remnant of Fangcao Wang Sun Road,

Do not enter the house of Emperor Zhumen.

This is a sentence in the famous poet Li Panlong's "Sending Guests to Henan" at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which means that at that time, Henan Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, except for the official road was not included in the Zhumen Emperor's family, all other lands have been annexed by the royal family.

Although this poem uses a bit of exaggerated rhetorical techniques, it tells the truth that at that time, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Huguang and other provinces where land annexation was the most serious, and almost all of the fertile land were annexed by the royal family and local tyrants and squires, so when the peasants revolted at the end of the Ming Dynasty, these places were the most ferocious.

There was no way, in a society where the agricultural economy was the main body at that time, the common people had no land, which was equivalent to having no way to live, and it was strange if they did not rebel.

In the face of such a serious land annexation, can Daming still be saved?

Zhang Bin fell into deep thought.

Sometimes managing a country is like managing a company, what can you do when the company is on the verge of bankruptcy?

The easiest way to do this is to open up sources and reduce expenditures.

Open source is to open up new revenue streams.

This is not very difficult for Zhang Bin, who is familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, because the late Ming Dynasty was the embryonic period of capitalism, and maritime trade gradually rose, and the productivity of the Ming Dynasty was still the most advanced at that time.

Throttling is to reduce unnecessary spending as much as possible.

At this point, it is more difficult, the royal family, princes and nobles, local tyrants and squires, and even favored eunuchs and ministers of Zhishi, these are all vested interests, and they have seized more than eighty percent of the interests of the entire Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that the benefits seized by these people are unnecessary expenditures for the Ming Dynasty, as long as the interests of these people are cut off, it is easy to save the Ming Dynasty.

However, who would dare to touch the interests of these people?

If you are a minister of the imperial court, no matter how big an official you are, even if you are the head of the cabinet, as long as you dare to touch the interests of these people, there is absolutely no place to die!

What should I do, is Daming really hopeless?

No, Daming can still be saved, the interests of these people are not that no one dares to move, like the peasant rebel army, they dare!

The peasant uprising is not a good opportunity to reshuffle the cards, as long as the timing is right, and when they finish shuffling the cards before playing, there is still hope for saving the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, it is not impossible to throttle, it just needs timing.

Thinking about this, Zhang Bin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is hope, he is afraid that there is no hope.

Now that the time is not ripe to throttle, open source can be considered, but before that, we must deal with the matter at hand.

At this time, the land has been sold, and all that remains is to exonerate Xu Hui.

This bastard, according to Zhang Bin's temper, really doesn't want to let him go, but there is no way, if he doesn't let him go, he will face the revenge of Xu Dahua, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, and even the entire eunuch group.

If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Xu Hui must let go, at least at this time, you can't move him, of course, it's okay for others to move, like Xu Hui's accomplice Zhao Ergou, Zhang Bin doesn't plan to let go.

That night, in the prison where Xu Hui was still held, Zhang Bin ordered another table of wine and food and drank with this guy.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, it was almost time to get down to business, Zhang Bin immediately said: "Xu Yuanwai, I have already sold that land to Zhao Mu." ”

When Xu Hui heard this, he said with a little regret: "If you sell it, you will sell it, what does that guy say?" ”

Zhang Bin "rejoiced": "He has relented, now, just find a reason to close this case." ”

When Xu Hui heard this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Oh, Lord County Commander, how are you going to close the case?" ”

Zhang Bin suggested: "Otherwise, I will ask people to change their confessions and put the charges on Zhao Ergou, so that the case can be closed tomorrow, what do you think?" ”

When Xu Hui heard this, he said viciously: "Okay, just do it, this dog thing, give Lao Tzu everything to poke out, and he can't be left!" ”

Zhang Bin nodded slightly, then raised his wine glass and said, "Come on, Xu Yuanwai, drink, drink, you are busy, I am afraid that there will be no chance to drink with you in the future." ”

Xu Hui was comforted by this sycophant, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahahaha, Lord County Order, Xu also wants to thank you for your hospitality, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be miserable by Zhao Mu's guy this time, come, I'll give Lord County a drink." ”

He really thought that this time it was all Zhao Mu's ghost, but he didn't know that the person who rectified him was the county magistrate in front of him.

Zhang Bin naturally couldn't break it, he just blindly curried favor and made Xu Hui laugh.

The two talked and laughed and drank happily, until the time came, Zhang Bin left "unsatisfied".

Back in the backyard, Xiao Yun and Xiao Fengxian in the bedroom were still lying on his bed, warming his bed.

After getting along for the past few days, Xiao Fengxian has slowly become accustomed to the identity of the bed warmer, and even, like Xiaoyun, she has feelings for Zhang Bin.

"Perhaps, after a while, we will be able to do it together, but it's a pity", Zhang Bin thought with regret.

Tomorrow, Xu Hui will be released, Zhang Fengxian's family naturally can't stay in Pingyang anymore, he has already sent someone to Dajin to say hello, tomorrow morning his father will send a boat to pick up Zhang Fengxian's family.

To be honest, Zhang Bin is a little reluctant at this moment, such a stunning beauty, not tempted, it is fake, after getting along for a few days, he also has a secret affection for this little beauty in his heart.

After washing his face and feet, the two were dressing him widely, Zhang Bin finally reluctantly said: "Little Fengxian, get up early tomorrow to clean up, we will rush to the beach at the end of the day, where there will be a boat to pick up your family to go to Dajinsuo, the road guide has been opened for you, my parents have also said hello, you will live there in the future." ”

Xiao Fengxian was stunned when she heard this, and then the tears flowed out, and she suddenly threw herself into Zhang Bin's arms and cried: "Young master, let me stay and serve you!" ”

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yun even followed the example of Xiao Fengxian, threw herself into Zhang Bin's arms and cried: "Yes, young master, let Sister Fengxian stay." ”

Sleeping, Zhang Bin only felt a rush of blood rushing to his brain, and his whole body suddenly burned like lit gasoline.

Don't be like this, this young master can't stand it!

He raised his hands in embarrassment, for fear that he would not be able to control it if he accidentally touched something.

The two little beauties didn't realize it, they knew that they were hugging him and crying, and the crying was sad, Zhang Bin couldn't, so he could only sleep with them.

In the end, he still didn't dare to do it together, he could only wail in his heart: "Alas, I'm not even as good as a beast!" ”
