Zhu Yuanzhang explained the matter of the Shen family to Li Shanchang in detail: "Li Qing's family, probably this is how things are going on, I don't know what you can do to deal with the Shen family, if the Shen family doesn't get rid of it for a day, I will be unstable in my heart for a day." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"It turns out that this is the case, if Your Majesty can tell Weichen earlier, then there is no need to let Princess Yongle marry the Shen family, Liu Ji's idea of marriage is really a bad idea, not only has the princess been wronged, but it has not had much effect, this kind of behavior is really outrageous." After listening to His Majesty's words, Li Shanchang was quite complacent, and lost no time in stomping on Liu Bowen.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed after listening to Li Shanchang's words and said, "Oh? So, do you have a trick? ”

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, Your Majesty should know that it is the economic power that the Shen family depends on for survival, as long as Your Majesty takes action to cut off the income of several of his economic industries, then this is half the success." Li Shanchang heard His Majesty's agreement and hurriedly said: "And this salt and iron project is a huge profit, it should be owned by the state, but now the Shen family has the right to operate this industry, so Your Majesty can completely deprive him of this right to operate, and change it to the officials, businessmen and the imperial court, and at the same time, Your Majesty can also increase the tax collection of the Shen family, forgive him for not daring to disobey." ”

After listening to Li Shanchang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang patted his thigh: "Hahaha, it's really a good way, Li Qing's family is worthy of being the pillars of the country, this method is very agreeable, salt and iron are the foundation of the country, and it is really good to use this reason to deprive them of their right to operate." ”

Li Shanchang was appreciated by His Majesty, and his interest was even higher, and he said a bunch of words to Zhu Yuanzhang, only to hear Zhu Yuanzhang's heart fluttering: "Hahaha......." ”

Shen Cong, who was far away in Suzhou, was also shocked after receiving the message from Li Xiaolin's father-in-law: This Li Shanchang is very powerful, he can do things calculated, and the ideas he said are indeed justified and well-founded.

For example, the right to operate salt and iron was withdrawn, such as raising taxes, and for example, it was stipulated that only the imperial court could purchase grain, and private individuals were not allowed to buy and sell it. It can be said that Li Shanchang's ideas are all fatal, and he has no choice but to refuse them at all, and he can't refuse.

After calming down, Shen Cong's mind began to recall the information about Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang, a hundred words, he has loved reading since he was a child, has wisdom and strategy, is familiar with Legalist doctrine, expects things, most of them are said by him, when Zhu Yuanzhang called King Wu, appointed Li Shanchang as the right Xiangguo, Li Shanchang is familiar with allusions, adjudication affairs are very fast, and good at rhetoric, when Zhu Yuanzhang recruits talents, he always asks Li Shanchang to draft a proclamation. Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to fight before and after, and ordered Li Shanchang to stay behind, the generals were obedient, the residents were safe, and there was never a shortage of military salaries and food for the front-line soldiers.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Shanchang served as prime minister, he repeatedly considered the Yuan system, to remove its drawbacks, proposed to monopolize the salt of the two Huai, set up the tea law, restore the money law, mine and smelt iron, formulate a fish tax, the country's wealth is growing day by day, and the people are no longer poor, it can be said that he has made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and his role in the Ming Dynasty is comparable to Xiao He.

"It seems that Li Shanchang has a hand in the management of the economy, which is very difficult." Shen Cong smiled bitterly, as the saying goes, you are not afraid of hooligans playing Laipi, you are afraid that hooligans are educated, obviously this Li Shanchang is a hooligan who can play Lai.

"It seems that we have to find a way to get rid of Li Shanchang." Shen Cong lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and began to search for Li Shanchang's ending and fate.

Historical records record that Li Shanchang is generous and gentle on the outside, but he is jealous and harsh on the inside, as long as the official offends his authority slightly, Li Shanchang immediately blames the emperor, and over time, Li Shanchang's power position reached its peak, and his heart slowly became arrogant, and Taizu began to dislike him.

Later, Li Shanchang resigned due to illness and returned to live, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang gave Linhao a number of hectares, set up 150 grave guards, gave 1,500 tenants, and 20 honor guards, a year later, Li Shanchang recovered from illness, Taizu ordered him to be responsible for the construction of Linhao Palace, and moved 140,000 rich people from the south of the Yangtze River to Haozhou for cultivation, and let Li Shanchang manage them and stay in Haozhou for several years.

thought that Li Shanchang could enjoy his old age in peace, but he thought of the next thing that changed his fate.

Li Shanchang is a person who has a gold medal for avoiding death - Danshu iron coupons, but this is how Li Shanchang, who has triple protection (a very human minister, a relative of the emperor, and a gold medal for avoiding death), in the Hu Weiyong case that occurred not long after, he gave his life because of a sentence, when Hu Weiyong was in the court, he wanted to pull Li Shanchang into the water, first he asked someone to persuade him, but the good man did not obey, Hu Weiyong personally persuaded him, and the good chief still did not allow it, Hu Weiyong pulled Li Shanchang's younger brother to persuade the good man, and the good man had no choice but to say "I am old, I die, you will do it yourself", This sentence was later said by Li Shanchang's subordinates, and Zhu Yuanzhang convicted him of treason, and the Danshu iron coupon that the emperor gave him at the beginning to avoid two deaths also became scrap iron.

From this point of view, as long as there are real or possible, even imaginary people and things that will threaten the stability of the emperor's position and challenge the absolute authority of the emperor, no matter how thick the merit is and how many cards are exempted from death, it will be useless, and the death of Li Shanchang fully illustrates this point.

"Phew." Thinking of this, Shen Cong breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was heavy, these people followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world together, and they were all killed like this after making such a huge contribution, so wouldn't they have to be executed by Ling Chi when they fought against Zhu Yuanzhang everywhere, it seems that they really have to leave a way back for themselves, otherwise they will have to explain here.

In the evening, Shen Wansan came back with a red face, and Shen Cong got the news and immediately came to Shen Wansan.

However, he found that Shen Wansan was not in the hall.

"Didn't my dad come back? Why don't you see anyone? Shen Cong looked at his subordinates and asked.

The servant hurriedly replied: "Young master, the master has come back, but at this time, he must have rested in the eldest lady's room, if you have anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Hmph." Shen Cong snorted coldly and quickly ran to the eldest lady's yard, his father's heart was really generous, and he could still sleep.

When he came to the courtyard of the eldest lady, when he saw Shen Cong coming, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Young master, the master and the lady have just rested, so don't disturb you." ”

"Go tell my dad I'm in a hurry." Shen Cong looked at this old woman and said angrily.

"Young master, don't embarrass the old man, the old man and the lady are all resting, if you disturb them rashly, I'm afraid the old slave won't be able to eat and walk around." The mother-in-law guarding the door guarded the door alive and did not let Shen Cong enter.
