Chapter 67: Changes in Zhu Youzhen's heart

The squire said: "Competing with the people for profit, this, this is not done by the imperial court, it must be your nonsense." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Wu Xin laughed out loud and said, "The official doesn't want to say anything, he just asks you whether to sell or not." ”

When the squire saw the sword in front of him, he finally lowered his arrogant head and replied helplessly, "Sell." "He doesn't want to throw his life here today, so he can only think of writing to the governor after leaving this prefect's yamen, and let the governor cure this Wu Xinxin's crime, but he is destined not to go well.

There are only two state capitals in Henan to buy grain, one is Luoyang and the other is Kaifeng, of course, the governor of Henan wants these two places to be able to complete the tasks assigned by the imperial court, and he can only ignore the rumors, otherwise the imperial court will blame, first of all, the governor of Henan.

Wu Xin looked at the squire and lowered his head, and said with a smile: "Which of you still has objections?" ”

Seeing that the people who came out of the thick faced such a threat, who would dare to say more?

Wu Xin looked at no one to speak, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "That is, no one objects, come here, bring the paperwork." ”

His own servants brought the documents they had prepared in advance, and each of them handed them out one by one, and prepared a brush.

The documents are all about the details of the purchase of grain, and they are stamped with the prefect's seal, if you write your name on it and draw a good charge, even if you want to regret it in the future, it is impossible.

There were many squires who were hesitating, Wu Xinxin looked at no one and said loudly: "Don't you sell it, don't hide it, today is the Hongmen banquet, if you don't sign it, you will never be able to get out of this prefect's yamen." ”

Would Wu Xin dare to make a move to harm these squires? Of course not, what is being done now is just intimidating.

But these squires did not dare to risk their lives, so they had no choice but to pick up a pen and write down their names and stamp their handprints.

After the matter was over, Wu Xinxin's heart was a little excited, and after sending off the guests, he and the six county officials arranged the arrangements for the whole prefecture, and the order to block the checkpoints also arrived at each checkpoint this evening.

Wu Xinxin was fully prepared, just waiting to let those squires bleed, as for letting those small families pay food, Wu Xinxin thought that he didn't think about it, he didn't think that he was a gentleman, but he had nothing to do with villains.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen didn't know that Wu Xinxin, who had no impression in his heart, dared to have such a big hand, and he was now reading the excerpt of Sun Chengzong that Huang Liji had just sent to him in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Huang Liji had also reported some details about the alliance with Mongolia and Korea in person.

For the alliance with Mongolia, Zhu Youzhen has always held great hopes, although in the past, Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty were incompatible, and there were often small-scale wars on the frontier, but they could not help but stand together at this time, because the more powerful enemy of Houjin appeared.

Zhu Youzhen hopes that Lin Dan Khan has some insight, and can know the truth that the Ming Dynasty is not as good as Mongolia, relying on the Liaodong defense line, it can be guaranteed for a while, but Mongolia is directly facing the incomparably strong Eight Banners soldiers and horses of the Later Jin, and Mongolia really needs that alliance more than the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty threw out an olive branch first, which was not an opportunity for Mongolia.

Sun Chengzong's excerpt said that Zhang Huangji, a person sent by Yuan Chonghuan to negotiate with Mongolia, led the delegation to the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan, and began to negotiate an alliance with him, but Mongolia was unimpressed, arrogant, thinking that without relying on the Ming Dynasty, he could also deal with the milky little son Huang Taiji, and wanted to drive the Ming delegation away, but Zhang Huangji was quite bold and eloquent, and asked Lin Dan Khan three questions, who could stop the Houjin cavalry in the steppe? Why do you move west, one day you will have no way to retreat, and sooner or later you will have to face Houjin, how can you resist then? When the Jin Dynasty was strong, how did it treat the Mongol tribes? Lin Dan Khan was a little moved, and the Mongolian high-level also began to shake their original ideas. Although there were some twists and turns in the alliance with Mongolia, Sun Chengzong thought that this matter was feasible, and Mao Wenlong had already entered North Korea, and announced the will of the kingdom to the Korean royal court, and North Korea did not dare to disobey, but the training of soldiers was to be taken care of by the Ming Dynasty, so that Zhu Youzhen would send the Korean overseers quickly.

Closing the chapter, Zhu Youzhen stood up and walked to the door, looking at the stars in the sky, the mood could not be calm for a long time, history has changed a lot, he knew that if the alliance was signed, the Ming Dynasty would have to bear two burdens, North Korea is easy to say, it is nothing more than spending some silver taels and energy, but Mongolia, from the heart, Zhu Youzhen is not at ease with them, even if they can do it, but Zhu Youzhen, who is familiar with history, is clear that the first person Huang Taiji has to deal with is the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan, and when the time comes, Huang Taiji will go west, Is the Liaodong defense line really going to attack on all fronts? Let the Ming soldiers who are not good at field warfare deal with the most powerful army in this era, how big the loss should be, but Zhu Youzhen knows that his lips are cold and his teeth are cold, Lin Dan Khan can't fall, or then Jin is really worry-free, even if there are big losses, this alliance still has to be signed.

Wang Chengen walked behind Zhu Youjian and said softly: "Why is the emperor bothered? ”

"Wang Chengen, do you think I will make a mistake?"

"People are not sages, who can do nothing, and knowing mistakes while correcting is the great good." Wang Chengen actually said in the tone of a scholar.

Listening to what Wang Chengen said nondescript, Zhu Youzhen chuckled and said: "You, don't learn well now, I want to hear your truth, my Ming Dynasty may be eternal?" ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, the eunuchs and palace maids standing outside the door all knelt down, and Wang Chengen was of course no exception.

"The Ming Dynasty is prosperous, and the emperor must be the king of Zhongxing." Wang Chengen said in a trembling voice, in fact, this is not Wang Chengen's flattery, this is Wang Chengen's true thoughts, after Emperor Yongle, which emperor has Zhu Youzhen's skills and ability.

Zhu Youzhen sighed and said, "It seems that the emperors are all alone, and it is so difficult for me to listen to the truth now." ”

"What the old slave said came from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't dare to say it."

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said: "Wang Chengen, get up, it's cold underground, don't hurt your body, I still want you to serve me for fifty years." After speaking, Zhu Youzhen laughed again.

"Emperor Xie is worried." Listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, Wang Chengen's heart was a little happy, see, how much the emperor cares about me.

After chatting with Wang Chengen for a while, a little eunuch trotted over, saw Zhu Youzhen outside the door of the Yangxin Palace, knelt down, held a chapter with both hands and a book like an account book, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, someone outside the palace gate has reported that Guo Shangshu, the head of the household department, has handed over an excerpt and wants to let the emperor read it." ”

"It seems that what Lord Guo said must be a big deal, otherwise it would not have been handed over from the palace gate." Wang Chengen whispered to Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said: "This is my explanation to Guo Yunhou, I think the Quartermaster Department has already listed the distribution of grain purchases in various places, take it here, I will take a look." ”

After the little eunuch received Zhu Youzhen's reply, he stood up and handed over the chapter and account book to Zhu Youzhen.

After Zhu Youzhen received the things, he said to Wang Chengen beside him: "You go to the queen's place, and say that I am busy with affairs today and can't go to Kunning Palace, so let her not wait for me and sleep well." ”

"The old slave obeys."

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking to Wang Chengen, he turned around and went back to the main hall, sat on the dragon chair, opened Guo Yunhou's recital, and looked at it seriously.

Guo Yunhou said in his statement that the Quartermaster Department deduced the share of grain purchased in various localities according to the total amount of grain produced in previous years, and gave silver taels according to the grain prices in various places, but the grain was purchased by the imperial court on a large scale, which would definitely cause the grain prices in various places to rise, and even more so, some wealthy businessmen sat on the ground and raised prices, and in order to prevent all this from happening, he also hoped that the cabinet would issue an edict throughout the country to strictly control grain prices, and Guo Yunhou also said that according to the grain prices at this time, it was inferred that it would cost 890,000 taels of silver.

After reading the recital, Zhu Youzhen said softly: "My Ming Dynasty should be prosperous." "In fact, after Guo Yunhou presided over the purchase of grain by the Quartermaster Division, let Zhu Youzhen know one thing, there are many capable people in history whose reputation cannot be shown at all, the Ming Dynasty has a population of hundreds of millions, as long as Zhu Youzhen is willing to give the opportunity, there will be one or two people with lofty ideals who can turn the tide, and Zhu Youzhen is more confident in the future, and the Ming Dynasty and the Han people are destined to be bright.
