Anyway, sooner or later, you have to report it, it's better to do it now, so that the little butcher Zhu will come over one day, and you won't even give them time to report.

Of course, Yang Shiqi was helpless, and at the same time, he didn't really do nothing.

can't learn from those two, but he, Yang Shiqi, is not stupid.

Nowadays, the New Deal Dutian Order is implemented in the entire Nanzhili, not only in the northwest and east.

In this case, Yang Shiqi didn't dare to kill him, and he couldn't kill him, but he wouldn't be able to take advantage of the situation.

The great victory in the east and the danger to everyone in the north are all he can rely on.

Immediately, Yang Shiqi ordered someone to convene the officials of the entire Luzhou Mansion, and explained to everyone the determination and strength of the imperial court on the grounds of the imperial court decree, taking Fengyang Mansion and Zhenjiang Mansion as examples.

And through the mouths of these officials, pressure was put on the powerful officials and gentry of the entire Luzhou Mansion.

Although these local officials are not interested in Yang Shiqi, a mere fourth-grade official, the other two are really powerful.

This bloody example is in front of them, and they don't dare to take it seriously.

There are also those powerful officials and gentry, every day they can hear that the house of such and such a place has been raided, and one or two of them will be laughed off as a talking point.

But with more and more news coming, how could they not be afraid.

For a time, the implementation of the Luzhou Prefecture's Dutian Order has also accelerated a lot.

A day later.

Outside the Yamen of Zhenjiang Mansion.

Zhu Zhanji, Hu Shanxiang, Guo Ji, and the accompanying officials and guards who were selected gathered outside the government office in the morning.

As for the newly promoted officials of Zhenjiang Prefecture, they originally wanted to see them off, but they were sternly rejected by Zhu Zhanji.

The main reason is that Zhu Zhanji himself doesn't like this kind of superficial politeness.

If you really have the heart, you can make some achievements in Zhenjiang Mansion and spend your thoughts on the implementation of the new policy.

At the same time, Zhu Zhanji also instructed them that although the Zhenjiang Prefecture's order to land was almost completed, it did not mean that the matter was over.

As the earliest of them to implement the New Deal, if there is a problem in the implementation of the New Deal in the future, maybe the results are ugly, how did they get up, and how will he Zhu Zhanji pull them down one by one.

In the course of their interactions with Zhu Zhanji in these days, they all had a little understanding of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and naturally they didn't dare to take this as a deaf ear.

If there are really any problems in the implementation of the new policy in the future, or if it disgraces His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, then His Royal Highness the eldest grandson really dares to pull them down from their current positions one by one.

No one questions this.

After leaving Zhenjiang Mansion, Zhu Zhanji's group has changed from three people to more than 100 people.

100 guards, more than 30 accompanying officials, as well as Zhu Zhanji, Hu Shanxiang and Na Guoji.

They were on horseback, in carriages, or on foot.

Because of the inconsistency of the means of transportation, their speed is much slower than when they came.

It's not that the more than 100 horses that can't be obtained in the entire Zhenjiang Mansion, but because their next destination is Yangzhou Mansion in the north of Zhenjiang Mansion.

Zhenjiang and Yangzhou are separated by a Yangtze River.

Along the Yangtze River, they can go directly to Yangzhou through a tributary of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, these guards were not equipped with horses, otherwise they would have to consider how to transport these horses when crossing the river.

I set off early in the morning, and by noon, I had already arrived at Jiangdu County, where the Yangzhou Government Office was located.

Of course, it is also because Jiangdu City is very close to the Yangtze River.

Seeing that Yangzhou City was getting closer and closer, Guo Ji, who was standing on the deck, suddenly said to Zhu Zhanji beside him: "Your Highness, this Jiangnan Eight Prefectures and One Prefecture, north of the Yangtze River, there are only Yangzhou Prefecture and Huai'an Prefecture, and the territory of these two prefectures is the largest among the eight prefectures and one prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Listening to Guo Ji's words, Zhu Zhanji didn't know this.

The reason why Yangzhou was chosen as the second goal of the next new policy is precisely for this reason.

This time the matter of Zhenjiang Mansion must have been spread, this Yangzhou Mansion and Zhenjiang Mansion are across the river, and even if the officials and magnates are not afraid, they have to leave three points of respect.

Although Yangzhou has been a rich place since ancient times, there are countless powerful people.

It is inevitably difficult to implement.

But once the Yangzhou Mansion is taken, it will lay a chance of victory in the entire Jiangnan in the east of Nanzhili.

If you take the previous things to the entire Jiangnan region in the east of Nanzhili, the implementation of the Dutian Order of Zhenjiang Mansion is to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, and taking Yangzhou Mansion can be regarded as a real victory.

Just when Zhu Zhanji and Guo Ji were standing on the bow of the boat thinking about what was going on.

But I didn't know that on the wharf not far away, the officials in the entire Yangzhou city had gathered together, waiting for Zhu Zhanji's arrival.

Although Zhu Zhanji did not send anyone off on this trip, they couldn't hide their whereabouts at all, and they didn't hide their intentions to go to Yangzhou Mansion next.

Moreover, the implementation of the new policy has attracted the attention of everyone in Nanzhili.

Zhu Zhanji and his entourage went to Yangzhou Mansion, which was not a trivial matter for them.

When the ship approached the wharf, Zhu Zhanji, who was standing on the bow of the ship, immediately saw a group of people wearing official uniforms gathered on the wharf.

In this regard, he was not too surprised, but said to Guo Ji beside him with a smile: "Look, our face is really not small, look at this battle, I'm afraid that the officials in the entire Yangzhou City are here." ”

Regarding Zhu Zhanji's ridicule, Guo Ji just smiled and didn't say anything.

After all, Zhu Zhanji is the eldest grandson of the emperor, he can ridicule these things, but as a courtier, he cannot.

As the ship was moored, a group of people slowly walked to the pier.

The officials who were standing on the dock immediately flocked to the pier.

I scrambled to say a word to Zhu Zhanji.

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Zhu Zhanji frowned slightly, and was about to say something, when a middle-aged official in the crowd spoke: "Everyone, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has just arrived, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it in the city in a while." ”

As this person finished speaking, the surrounding officials really obediently retreated.

Stand in order again.

Seeing this scene, when Zhu Zhanji was puzzled, Guo Ji beside him whispered in his ear: "This person is the prefect of Yangzhou, Zhang Ben." ”

Zhang Ben?

As the name came to mind, Zhu Zhanji seemed to remember something.

Isn't this person the secretary of the military department after his father Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne?

Gradually, memories of this man came to light.

At this moment, Zhang Ben, who had maintained the order of the scene, also respectfully came to Zhu Zhanji, arched his hand, and said: "Weichen Zhang Ben, the prefect of Yangzhou, has seen His Royal Highness the eldest grandson. ”

Hearing the other party's question, Zhu Zhanji suddenly smiled and said, "Master Zhang, you don't have to be polite, hurry up." When my father was in the capital, he often talked about Master Zhang in front of me. ”

As soon as Zhu Zhanji's words came out, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in Ben's eyes: "The prince still remembers Weichen?" ”

Zhu Zhanji suddenly pretended to be displeased, and said, "What is this called, Lord Zhang?" My father said that he had a very happy conversation with Lord Zhang in Jiangdu and was a confidant of each other, but it was a pity that the state affairs were heavy, otherwise he would have to come to Jiangdu again to toast with Lord Zhang. ”

"But Lord Zhang, my father regards you as a confidant, how can you think that my father has forgotten you? Or is Master Zhang blaming my father for forgetting the past? ”

Seeing Zhu Zhanji say this, Zhang should have confessed and said: "Weichen should die, how dare Weichen blame the prince, but more than ten years have passed since the time when Weichen and the prince talked freely in Jiangdu, although the prince's original appearance is still in his mind, but the prince's state affairs are heavy, and Weichen is also afraid that the prince will not be able to remember such a small person as Weichen..... Weichen, I really don't dare to get close to the prince. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji also said with a smile: "Lord Zhang doesn't have to be arrogant, Lord Zhang's reputation is not only mentioned by my father, even in the Qianqing Palace, I often hear that the emperor's grandfather praises Lord Zhang's integrity." ”

After Zhu Zhanji's words were finished, Zhang Ben on the other side was stunned, and even said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty.... Did the emperor really say that? ”

Zhu Zhanji frowned and said, "Lord Zhang, the first time you and I meet, if it weren't for my father and the emperor saying so, would it be difficult or I deliberately arranged it?" ”

Hearing this, Na Ben also realized that there was something wrong with his words and hurriedly confessed.

But even so, he still couldn't suppress the joy between his eyebrows.

When Zhu Di, who was still the king of Yan, launched a Jingnan to reach Yangzhou, Yushi Wang Bin resisted according to the city, and he was the commander of Jiangdu County at the time, and he united with the guard general to capture the Yushi Wang Bin.

Later, he led his father to take the initiative to welcome the surrender.

When Zhu Di's army was stationed to recuperate, he Zhang Ben had a very happy conversation with Zhu Gaochi, the son of Yan Shizi at that time, and they were each other's confidants, after all, the two were very similar in age.

Counting, he is also a martyr.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was also promoted to the position of Yangzhou prefect.

Yangzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and while the land is rich, the territory is also the largest, which is three or four times larger than that of Zhenjiang Mansion.

Although the people in charge are all prefects, the meaning is completely different.

It can be seen that Zhu Di trusts him.

For this, he Zhang Ben is also very grateful.

However, in the following ten years, he was still in the position of the prefect of Yangzhou and did not move at all.

Although he is still conscientious and conscientious, in order to repay the emperor's kindness.

But he never waited for the mercy of God, and there was inevitably some resentment in his heart.

After all, when he was less than thirty years old, he ascended to the position of prefect in one fell swoop, and at the same time, he was also the prefect of a key place like Yangzhou Mansion.

It should have been high-spirited, but it seemed to have been forgotten for more than a decade.

In the eyes of the emperor, the more than ten years of a courtier may not be worth mentioning.

But for him Zhang Ben, it's half a lifetime.....

He should have been the most exciting ten years in his life, but he has been trapped in Yangzhou Mansion.

However, when he heard His Royal Highness the eldest grandson in front of him say these words, the resentment in his heart suddenly disappeared.

The Crown Prince..... Emperor......

I still remember him!

As for whether what this eldest grandson said was credible, he actually had a plan in his heart.

This is the first time he and his eldest grandson have met, and as the eldest grandson, Zhu Zhanji, is it necessary to deceive in this matter?

And the name of incorruptibility.....

If he talked about his other skills, he really wouldn't feel anything, but only this incorruptibility, he has adhered to it for more than ten years, and he dare not exceed it in the slightest.

In order to think about it in the future, if the prince and the emperor think about it and call him to his side, he will know that he is corrupt at that time, and he will not know how to face them at that time.

After all this, he believed Zhu Zhanji's words.

"Wechen don't dare! It's just that when I heard the emperor's praise, I was really ashamed, and I lost my words for a while, I hope Your Highness won't blame ......."

Zhu Zhanji looked at the prefect Zhang in front of him, who was almost moved to cry, and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, Lord Zhang, what's not strange about a sentence or two, go, take the carriage with me to the city." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Zhanji grabbed Ben's arm and walked into the carriage on the side.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji's intimate behavior, while Zhang Ben was grateful to the emperor in his heart, the officials on the side also showed surprised expressions.

Although they had heard about Zhang Ben's affairs in Yangzhou City, and knew that his prefect relied on Jingnan to ascend to the throne, they did not expect that now more than ten years, almost twenty years have passed, and the prince and the emperor still remember him.....

Especially this little butcher Zhu, his reputation in that Zhenjiang Mansion is especially memorable to them.

I thought he was a person who was cruel to killing, but I never thought that there was such a side when dealing with this book.

I couldn't help but feel envious.

As Zhu Zhanji, the protagonist, and Zhang Ben boarded the carriage and set off, the rest of the people also set off in a hurry.

In the carriage, Zhu Zhanji smiled and looked at Zhang Ben, who was becoming more and more respectful in front of him, and asked: "Lord Zhang, I really don't hide it, I came to Yangzhou Mansion this time, I believe that Lord Zhang also knows it, since this is the case, I will not be polite with Lord Zhang, and ask Lord Zhang to tell me about the situation in Yangzhou Mansion now." ”

After narrowing the relationship between the two, Zhu Zhanji did not deliberately politely say anything, but directly stated the purpose of his trip.

Zhang Ben, who was infinitely emotionally moved in his heart at this moment, heard Zhu Zhanji's inquiry, and his position became clear in an instant.

"Your Royal Highness rest assured, Wechen has been deeply involved in Yangzhou Mansion for nearly 20 years, and he still knows a little about the situation in the city, this time His Highness does not need to worry too much, as long as he can sit in Yangzhou City, the new policy issued by the imperial court, Weichen will have full confidence to implement it to the end!"

Zhang Bendang even gave his promise in front of Zhu Zhanji.

Of course, the reason why he is like this is not entirely because of Zhu Zhanji's words just now.

These words only stimulated him to have a fuse of decision.

The real reason is that the court rewarded you Guo Ji this time.

The implementation of a Dutian order made an official who had only been the prefect of Zhenjiang Prefecture for three or four years promoted to Zhengsanpin in one fell swoop!

It is equivalent to stepping into the court from the official of the local government in one step.

This reward, which officials in the world are not envious of to the bones.

Zhang Ben, who wanted to improve his career, was originally a little hesitant, but after hearing Zhu Zhanji's previous words, he made a decision in his heart.

The emperor appreciates it, and he is an old friend of the crown prince, if he can catch the big boat of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson.......

Now that there is a decision, it is necessary to say it early and late, it is better to directly express loyalty at this time, which may make the eldest grandson even more happy.

After Zhang Ben's words were finished, Zhu Zhanji on the side was stunned.

Even the words that are carried out with complete certainty have been said.

Such words are rare in officialdom, after all, it is equivalent to setting up a military order in front of him.

"Lord Zhang, is this true?"

Zhang Ben did not hesitate at all, and said: "Although Your Highness can rest assured, in order to repay the emperor's crown prince's grace, Wechen will do his best, and if this new policy is not implemented to the end, Wechen will not give up!" ”

"Good! With Mr. Zhang's words, I feel at ease. ”

Zhu Zhanji, who knew Zhang Ben's talent, understood that since the other party dared to say such a thing, he must be absolutely sure.

"Lord Zhang will do it this time, His Royal Highness will be waiting for Lord Zhang's good news in this Yangzhou City!"

"Weichen takes the order!"

...........

In the city of Yangzhou.

Looking at the compound that had been prepared for himself in advance, Zhu Zhanji suddenly smiled.

This ...... I'm afraid I'm just waiting for my arrival, right?

Just like in the Zhenjiang Mansion, Zhu Zhanji once again refused anyone's invitation, even the banquet that was originally prepared for him was also shirked by Zhu Zhanji.

The reason is that this meal is used to celebrate the success on the day of success.

After Zhu Zhanji said goodbye to everyone, only he Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang were left in the entire compound.

Of course, there are also some maids who come to serve their daily lives.

As for the group when they came this time, they all went to the mansion with Na Guo Ji.

Since that Zhang Ben said, if he didn't have to bother much, he, Zhu Zhanji, would naturally not go to find trouble.

It's just that this matter has developed to this point, and he Zhu Zhanji really didn't expect it, and it was inevitable that he would feel a little funny for a while.

In the end, he was the most idle person.

This point was not only discovered by Zhu Zhanji himself, but even Hu Shanxiang on the side was aware of this, and asked suspiciously: "Your Highness, why don't you go and discuss important matters with those adults this time?" ”

Zhu Zhanji replied with a smile: "Master Zhang's talent is extraordinary, I don't think I will be needed this time.....

Hearing this, Hu Shanxiang also said in a matter-of-fact manner: "It's true, after all, he is a friend of the prince, and he has been praised by the emperor himself, so I think this Lord Zhang must have some extraordinary ability." ”

But when Hu Shanxiang said this, Zhu Zhanji laughed.

Seeing this, Hu Shanxiang hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what are you laughing at, aren't you?" ”

Zhu Zhanji explained with a smile: "It's true that Zhang was my father's friend, but it has been more than ten years, and as for the emperor, he has never mentioned that book." ”

Hearing this, Hu Shanxiang was stunned for a moment: "When I was at that pier just now, ......"

Looking at Hu Shanxiang's puzzled appearance, Zhu Zhanji smiled: "That's all nonsense from me, people, I always like to listen to this." ”

Seeing Zhu Zhanji say this, Hu Shanxiang was still puzzled: "His Royal Highness is the eldest grandson, and he is presiding over the implementation of the new policy, do you still need to tell those local officials this?" ”

Hu Shanxiang has been in the palace since he was a child, although he is in the power center of the Ming Dynasty, he still doesn't understand some things, so he explained: "Shanxiang, why do you think we were able to complete the Dutian Order so smoothly when we were in Zhenjiang Mansion before?" ”

Hu Shanxiang didn't understand why Zhu Zhanji asked this, but he still said according to his own thoughts: "Your Highness has killed so many people, and this time it is a decree of the imperial court, shouldn't they follow it?" ”

"Naturally, we should follow the rules, but when we went, there were only three people, you and I plus a coachman, even if they took into account my identity and didn't dare to do anything, but they could always hide, right? Whatever the excuse of being sick or something, what should we do when the time comes? How should the New Deal be implemented? Or just get some accounts and say that you have completed the Dutian order, what should you do? ”

Thinking about Zhu Zhanji's words, Hu Shanxiang pouted and said, "What does His Highness mean .....?"

Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang walked towards the lobby and explained: "Whether it is the imperial court or my Royal Highness the eldest grandson, if you want to do something in the local area, you can only rely on the officials in those places. Unless we can lead a large army, city by city to kill, but isn't that the same as fighting the world again? ”

"When we were in Zhenjiang Mansion before, the reason why we were able to implement the Heavenly Order so smoothly was actually based on Lord Guo Jiguo."

"When Lord Guo was in the capital, he was under my father's door, and it is my father who promoted him to the position of the prefect. In this way, Guo Ji will willingly stand on our side and help us do things. ”

Hu Shanxiang suddenly realized.

"Then the reason why His Highness just said those words is to show favor to that Lord Zhang?"

Zhu Zhanji thought about it, but nodded and said: "It's okay, after all, when we come to this Yangzhou Mansion, we must rely on these officials, unless we replace all these people." ”

After listening to Zhu Zhanji's explanation, Hu Shanxiang suddenly pouted and shook his head, and said, "You men are really complicated......

Seeing this little girl say this, Zhu Zhanji suddenly popped a brain on her head and said: "It's officialdom that is complicated, not men!" ”

Hu Shanxiang rubbed his head, his nose wrinkled, and he pouted, very unconvinced.

"Hmph, I didn't believe your words, and I turned around the adults when we met, and I don't know how His Highness will lie to me in the future.

。

。 ”

Listening to Hu Shanxiang's words, Zhu Zhanji immediately laughed.

In fact, the things he talked about with that Zhang Ben before were really not nonsense.

Otherwise, he would not have thought of this in such a short period of time.

These things are all real things in history, whether it is the friendship with my father or the old man's praise for that incorruptible.

None of this has happened yet.

Counting up, if there is no implementation of this new policy, I am afraid that it will not be long before this Zhang Ben will be transferred to the capital to be the left waiter of the Ministry of Works.

After that, he will rise steadily, until his father Zhu Gaochi succeeds to the throne, and he is promoted to the secretary of the military department, and he is also in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Procuratorate.

At the same time, because of the talent of this book, when it came to his predecessor in history, he was also a capable minister who stayed by his side and was appointed.

Just when Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang came to the lobby, they ordered the maid to take a cup and rest.

Guo Ji, who had just left before, came back in ashes.

Seeing that Guo Ji walked in, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help asking: "Lord Guo, didn't you go with Lord Zhang to discuss the implementation of the Dutian Order?" ”

Facing Zhu Zhanji's inquiry, Guo Ji's face was full of embarrassment.

Looking at Zhu Zhanji's puzzled face, Guo Ji still explained: "Wechen went, but Master Zhang doesn't seem to welcome Wechen......

After Guo Ji said this, Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, and then immediately burst out laughing.

Although he was not present at the time, after pondering the thoughts of the book, Zhu Zhanji didn't understand that he was afraid that Guo Ji, the celebrity next to the eldest grandson, would rob him of his credit.

Thinking of this, how could Zhu Zhanji not laugh.

However, as a superior, he is really not afraid that his subordinates are greedy for power.

Isn't it good to want to be promoted?

I'll take you to a higher position.

But you have to be able to do something and show me something.

Such people are easy to control and easy to use, and it doesn't take much effort. If he has merit, he rushed up, and he didn't need to think about it at all.

What he is most afraid of is the kind of person who has no desires all day long, in the face of such a person, how can he, as a superior person, motivate him, feelings?

It's not impossible, but at least it has to be a woman.

Just when Zhu Zhanji was sitting on the chair laughing, Guo Ji's face on the side was full of helplessness.

"Okay, since Master Zhang is confident, just let him do it. You are now the general supervisor of the implementation of the new policy in Nanzhili, as long as the result is good, what do you have to worry about. ”

Listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, Guo Ji sighed: "Your Highness, it's not that Weichen doesn't understand this, it's just that Weichen is so arrogant that Lord Zhang is afraid that something will happen." ”

However, for Guo Ji's worries, Zhu Zhanji was not afraid at all.

First, out of trust in that book, after all, he is a person who has become a scholar of the military department in later generations, and he still has to give some respect to his talent.

The second is that this Zhang Ben has only been in charge of Yangzhou Mansion for 20 years, and he is still a person who is famous for his honesty in Yongle Dynasty.

Such a person is not greedy for money, so there is no handle for the magnates of the entire Yangzhou Mansion.

And with his foundation in Yangzhou Mansion for nearly 20 years, if he really wants to promote the implementation of the Dutian Order, the odds of winning are still very big.

However, he also understands Guo Ji's worries, after all, Guo Ji doesn't know this book, and on the surface, such an arbitrary person seems to be a little unstable.

"Don't worry, Lord Guo, this Lord Zhang Ben, His Royal Highness still knows something. In this way, since you are now the governor-general, what you should worry about should not only be the affairs of the Yangzhou Mansion, but also prepare for the implementation of the Dutian Order in the entire Jiangnan region with those people under your command. When the situation in Yangzhou is stable, you are ready to go. ”

Seeing Zhu Zhanji say this, Guo Ji didn't want to say anything, and after bowing to Zhu Zhanji, he turned around and left.

Three days later.

Since he arrived in this Yangzhou Mansion, he didn't care about anything, but Zhu Zhanji, who only knew that he was waking up this early morning when he enjoyed the scenery of Yangzhou everywhere.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, that Lord Zhang is still waiting in the hall, and he has been waiting for a quarter of an hour."

Listening to Hu Shanxiang's words in his ear, Zhu Zhanji felt that he was still dreaming.

"What's a quarter of an hour?"

Hearing this, Hu Shanxiang said what he had just said again.

After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji rubbed his eyes and asked suspiciously: "When did that Zhang Ben come?" How did I not know? ”

Zhu Zhanji thought that he had forgotten to sleep by sleeping.

I only heard Hu Shanxiang explain: "That Lord Zhang came very early, and after saying that His Highness was still resting, that Lord Zhang went to the hall and waited, so that His Highness could have a good rest." ”

"I'm afraid that Lord Zhang is in a hurry, so I woke up His Highness."

Seeing that this was the case, Zhu Zhanji nodded casually and said, "Okay, I know, you go and help me prepare for washing." ”

As he spoke, he wanted to get into the bed again and squint for a while.

I don't know when these officials seem to like to come early in the morning to report things.

Although I can't remember the last time, I always feel like I've been woken up in my sleep lately.

"Your Highness!"

Hu Shanxiang shouted helplessly: "Your Highness, everything you need to wash has been prepared." ”

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji could only reluctantly crawl out of the quilt again, and said to Hu Shanxiang while getting up: "Before you get married, you will start to be a housekeeper." ”

was said by Zhu Zhanji, but Hu Shanxiang just smiled lightly, it seemed that she had been inseparable in recent times, so that she had become accustomed to Zhu Zhanji's way of making jokes.

As Zhu Zhanji got ready, he slowly came to the hall of the compound.

Zhang Ben, who was sitting on the chair, hurriedly stood up, bowed to Zhu Zhanji, and said with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't seem to have slept well, is it Weichen disturbing Your Highness?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji also shook his head and said, "You scholars....... If you want me to say, you know that you have to disturb, and it's not too late, aren't you deliberately disturbing people's dreams? ”

Zhang Ben really didn't expect Zhu Zhanji's casual quip, but he also understood that Zhu Zhanji didn't mean anything else, so he replied with a chuckle: "That'..... Wechen will come back in a while? ”

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he hurriedly said: "You have to go, stop, I'll go to sleep in a while, will you come again?" Say it, say it, what's the matter. ”

Seeing Zhu Zhanji asking, Zhang Ben stopped talking nonsense, and then took out a fold from his arms and handed it to Zhu Zhanji.

When Zhu Zhanji looked at him suspiciously, Zhang Ben explained with a smile: "Your Highness, this is the number of cultivated land registered and reported in Yangzhou Mansion in the past three days, most of which are the number reported by the mansions of the powerful in Yangzhou City, accounting for eighty percent according to the ministers. ”

Seeing Zhang Ben say this, Zhu Zhanji was really interested, and opened the fold to take a look.

To say that the number of cultivated land registered and reported is really not too much, at least it is not much for Yangzhou Prefecture, which has a land area three or four times that of Zhenjiang Prefecture.

A total of 3.78 million mu.

If calculated according to eighty percent, the number of cultivated land reported by the magnates and gentry has reached 3 million mu.

If that's the case, that's not a lot at all.

When he was in Zhenjiang Mansion, all the 78 mansions of the gentry and magnates were raided, and the farmland found out was only 890,000 mu and 349 real estate.

And this book, in just three days, without hearing him use any powerful means, actually registered 3.78 million mu, including at least 3 million mu belonging to the gentry and magnates in the city!

This old boy...... Yes!

It's really a bit of a skill.

It's no wonder that when I first saw him, I dared to boast about such a Haikou.

Originally, he Zhu Zhanji thought that it would take at least one or two months to complete this time.

Unexpectedly, he didn't go to check the people as soon as he made a move, but instead spent three days eating the cultivated land of the powerful officials and gentry.

"The Great Age of Genes"

"Lord Zhang, if you don't make a move, it's amazing."

Listening to Zhu Zhanji's praise, Zhang Ben's face also had a slightly embarrassed look.

"Actually, Wei Chen didn't expect that according to the plan, he planned to make a detailed inventory of the cultivated land of the powerful officials and gentry in the city within ten days, but he never thought that when he discussed with them this time, they agreed very happily."

"Thinking about it, Weichen feels that he still owes the blessing of His Highness, after all, His Royal Highness is sitting in Yangzhou Mansion, and those officials and magnates dare not disobey at all."

But Zhu Zhanji hurriedly stopped him when he slapped his ass.

"Don't, doing well is doing well, don't take everything from me, if my eldest grandson's name is really useful, he should take the initiative to report it before I come."

However, after finishing speaking, Zhu Zhanji seemed to remember something again, and asked: "Lord Zhang, in this Yangzhou city, are there some people who are more stubborn, or who hold some identity and refuse to register?" ”

Zhang Ben, who was still smiling with modesty just now, was stunned after hearing Zhu Zhanji's words.

Because he really didn't understand why His Royal Highness the eldest grandson asked this.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he said: "Your Highness, there is really nothing you said in Yangzhou City now. At most, it's procrastinating and not paying attention. But in general, they are subject to government decrees. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji's brows couldn't help frowning.

Seeing this, Zhang Ben hurriedly asked, "Your Highness is .......?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, it's okay, just ask." ”

"By the way, since the hard bones in Yangzhou Mansion are almost finished, then Lord Zhang is ready to expand the scope of registration, and the counties must also do their best to investigate, this matter is very important, and it is not a child's play."

As Zhu Zhanji's words were finished, Zhang Ben hurriedly nodded with a straight face and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, Weichen will go all out." ”

"Okay, you have an idea in your heart, in addition, after the inventory of cultivated land in Yangzhou Mansion this time, you are also ready to prepare your own family affairs, and after you want to come to Yangzhou Mansion to promote the number of excerpts, the imperial court will definitely have some rewards."

"When the time comes, if my father sees it, I'm afraid I can't help but have to catch up with Master Zhang."

Although Zhu Zhanji didn't say what he said, how could Zhang Ben not understand the meaning.

All of a sudden, his face flushed.

After all, he had waited too long for this day.

Although he also understood that it didn't matter if the court didn't officially issue a document on this matter, since His Royal Highness the eldest grandson in front of him said it, it was basically a certainty.

"Weichen, Your Highness Xie is very kind!"

"Alright, let's go on an errand."

"Yes!"

After the book left, the smile on Zhu Zhanji's face gradually disappeared.

Instead, he sat on the chair with a sad face and muttered, "This horse is finished, where can I find someone to cut it?" ”

There are two reasons for the new policy to be implemented in person.

The first is that this matter is indeed very important, and this is to help you solve the disaster in the future.

Second, in order to escape the old man, in the name of implementing the new policy, he deliberately offended some people in the court.

so as to force the old man to take the initiative to transfer him out of the capital.

But now that everyone has taken the initiative to report, what else can he do?

"It seems that this time we have to rely on Jinyiwei......."

Two days later.

Qianqing Palace.

In the past few days, because of the news of the war in the north, the old man has been unable to sleep all night, and his mind is full of thoughts on the war in the north.

Not long after he returned from his last expedition, the Mongol tribes to the north began to harass the border again.

How can he Zhu Di accept it.

I'm thinking about whether to send troops again.

Just when the old man was thinking about this, Zhao Quan slowly came to Zhu Di's side and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, there is news from Yangzhou Mansion." ”

Hearing Zhao Quan's words, Zhu Di didn't care at first.

I also thought carefully about what was going on in Yangzhou.

But when he thought of his eldest grandson, he suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Call in." ”

"Yes!"

As a little eunuch walked into the inner hall, Zhu Di leaned on the dragon couch and asked, "What's the news, tell me." ”

The person bowed down and said: "If you go back to the emperor, there is news from Yangzhou Mansion that as of dark yesterday, the number of cultivated land registered and reported by Yangzhou Mansion has reached 7.97 million mu. ”

Zhu Di, who heard this, didn't have any reaction, but asked, "How many days?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's been five days."

"Five days?" Zhu Di frowned, and asked again: "Let's say, how many people did that kid kill and how many houses did he raid this time?" ”

Although the implementation of the new policy needs to be suppressed by force, Zhu Di does not object.

But you can't do this thing of raiding your home and cutting off your head all the time.

Nor is it a long-term solution.

But after hearing Zhu Di's inquiry, the little eunuch hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, this time, there is no news of raiding the house and killing the head in Yangzhou Mansion this time.....

"No?"

These words were greatly unexpected by Zhu Di.

"Is there an excerpt? Take a look. ”

Regarding the little eunuch's words, Zhu Di didn't believe it.

After handing over the fold, Zhu Di checked it carefully, and when he saw that there was really nothing about raiding the house and cutting off the head, this time he frowned and slowly raised his head.

Just when Zhu Di was wondering how Zhu Zhanji did it, Zhao Quan, who had not spoken from beginning to end, suddenly came to Zhu Di's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, there seems to be an excerpt from Dongchang two days ago, and Your Majesty seems to have forgotten to read it because of busy political affairs." ”

"Is there such a thing?"

After thinking about it, Zhu Di really remembered.

Then he got up and went to the desk, and looked for it according to his memory.

However, Zhao Quan was obviously more aware of this matter, and immediately found the information in the place where a pile of folds was pressed.

After handing it to Zhu Di, Zhu Di looked at it carefully.

This information records in detail everything that happened to the eldest grandson Zhu Zhanji after he went to Yangzhou Mansion, including the officials of Yangzhou Prefecture who greeted him at the dock, what they said, and what they did

What.

It also listed the information of Zhang Ben, the prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture, in detail, so that Zhu Di could check it.

After reading this excerpt, Zhu Di finally figured it out.

He immediately laughed.

"This kid..... But I can see it. ”

After figuring out what was going on in Yangzhou Mansion, Zhu Di quickly found out the reason for the rapid progress of the Yangzhou Mansion Dutian Order this time.

He remembered the book.

It's just that for so many years, I have basically forgotten about him.

It was only when I saw some information about him in the excerpt just now that I remembered it.

That Zhang Ben has only been the prefect of Yangzhou Mansion for 20 years, from the time of the Jingjing, until now, if he still does such a thing, then there will be a problem.

However, in addition to the reason for the book, Zhu Di also knows that the momentum of the implementation of the new policy of the entire Nanzhili is getting bigger and bigger.

This can be seen from some excerpts from the reports from various places in Nanzhili, even if the second child, the eldest grandson and the state capital where Yang Shiqi is not there, they all spontaneously began to report, although the speed cannot be compared with those who are supervised.

In addition, although the second child in the northwest is messing around, this nonsense is crooked, and it really scares those who like to play scoundrels on weekdays.

All these things have made the progress of the Dutian Order of Yangzhou Mansion rapid.

Now Yangzhou Mansion, one of the two prefectures in Jiangbei in the Jiangnan region, has been won, which basically means that the momentum of the implementation of the new policy has been unstoppable.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di said to Zhao Quan on the side: "Send an order to the eldest grandson, so that he can return to Beijing as soon as possible after receiving the news to supervise the implementation of the new policy of Ying Tianfu." ”

"In addition, give the second child a will."

Zhao Quan, who heard Zhu Di's order, hurriedly responded.

And after Zhao Quan and the little eunuch left one after another, Zhu Di kept a calm face and walked back and forth in the Qianqing Palace.

The overall situation of the implementation of the new policy has basically been decided, and the rest of the things can be handed over to the boss or the six cabinet departments, and he doesn't need to worry too much about it.

But it's the things of the north......

Zhu Di, who knows that the north has been the most troublesome foreign enemy in China since ancient times, and his wish in this life is to completely annihilate them.

Now that the old man is getting older, the desire to destroy the barbarians in the north is getting heavier and heavier.

If he can fulfill this wish in this life, he will be enough for this life.

And the recall of the eldest grandson and the second child is also for the arrangement of this matter.
