At this time, in the Zhao Wangfu of Zhangde Mansion, Zhu Zhanyuan was furious.

Zhu Di's approach is obviously not to take Henan's landlord class seriously, and to put it bluntly, the method of folding acres is to collect the wool of the landlords to subsidize the deficit caused by the tax exemption and tax reduction for the imperial court.

And Zhu Zhanyuan, as the son of Zhu Gaosui, although he did not inherit his father's ability to be left and right, it is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface.

As the largest local landlord, Zhu Zhanyuan knew the importance of resuming the method of folding acres in Henan this time, and of course, he also knew in his heart that Zhao Wangfu would never be able to fight the imperial court.

Recently, what happened in the capital has long been spread to Henan.

Xiangwang Zhu Zhandong was transferred to the capital, setting a precedent for the Zongren Mansion to be in charge of the Zongren Mansion with the Zongfu Domain, and the clan relatives actually had nothing to say about the fifth uncle of the emperor who had twice supervised the country in charge of the Zongren Mansion.

Although Zhu Zhan Feng is not as "affectionate" as Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaochi, there are quite a few people among the clan relatives who have received his favor.

The last time the Min clan made trouble, the clansmen of the whole country are paying attention to it, the ass of the court, the ass of King Xiang, where to turn, the heart is the same as Mingjing.

Zhu Di's disposition of the Min Domain, as well as the position of Zhu Zhandong, the king of Xiang, all illustrate the problem.

In other words, the current emperor actually has some protection for the prince who has committed something, and Zhu Zhanyan, the king of Zhao, plans to make some sweetness for Zhao Fan based on this.

So for the landlords in front of him who came to come to him, he naturally agreed.

"You can rest assured, you can't manage the whole of Henan, the boundary of Zhangde Mansion, but it's still my Zhao Wangfu's decision, what kind of thing is Shangfu, it's his turn to take care of my Wangzhuang?"

Hearing this, the landlords gathered here can be regarded as relieved.

"The prince said so, I will rest assured, at present, the water control and the folding of acres are parallel, we families, and we have to assist the government, help the victims, and make up for the arrears of the past years, it is really beyond our means!"

Someone hesitated again and again, and said: "Lord, there is a saying, the villains don't know whether to talk about it or not, it is the old ...... of the merchant pavilion who was sent by the imperial court to Henan to break the mu method."

"What's the matter?" Zhu Zhanyuan obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

The man gritted his teeth and said: "The little ones have a lot of informants in Kaifeng Mansion, and they all replied, saying that the merchant wants to take the prince's Zhuangtian first to deter the Henan clansmen. ”

Someone immediately chimed in: "Yes, that businessman has the support of the court and His Majesty, and he doesn't take me in his eyes, even the prince dares to bully, the prince is magnanimous, but I can't stand it!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanyan stood up directly, thought for a moment, and sneered: "The surname is Luo, aren't you deceiving this king?" ”

"Even if you want to fold the king's grange, it should be from the Zongren Mansion, what qualifications does the merchant have?"

The person who was pointed out was Luo Ping'an, the head of the Luo family, the largest landlord in Zhangde Mansion except for Zhao Wangfu, who immediately slapped himself in the mouth and said:

"In our jargon, the elders who came down from the house that day are all heavenly figures, and they can't stay in the local area for long, but you are the dragon lord of our Zhangde Mansion, and you are our heaven!" ”

"Lord Wang, even if the little one has the courage to do so, he won't dare to deceive you!"

"Hmph, alright, you get up." Zhu Zhanyan waved his hand, sat down and snorted coldly, and said, "This king still doesn't believe it, I haven't looked for him yet, but he came to me first?" ”

After sending away these landlords, Zhu Zhanyuan frowned and said: "Lao Gao, do you think what these guys said is true, that businessman really has such great ability?" ”

The one who was called Lao Gao was the chief official of the Subordinate Officials Department of Zhao Wangfu, and his official position was not big, and he walked out of this palace, and he was not as good as a county in Zhangde Mansion.

As for the rights, it is not big to say big, but it is not small to say that it is not small, which is equivalent to the big housekeeper of Zhao Wangfu and many affiliated Zhuangtian Yousi.

In the palace, that is the general existence of the emperor of the soil, and when he walked out of this palace, he had no rights at all, and all he relied on was the face of the Zhao Palace.

Hearing this, the chief official Gao Liang said: "Lord, that businessman is said to have won three yuan in a row, and he is the proud protégé of Chen Xun, the first assistant of the current cabinet, and was promoted to the cabinet by His Majesty. ”

"Now the method of folding acres is his idea, he is known as Xiao Shaobao on weekdays, and his sex is like fire, which is rather credible than not!"

Zhu Zhanyuan raised his buttocks, picked a crystal clear grape from the table in front of him, threw it in his mouth, spit it on the ground casually, and said:

"In this way, you should go to Kaifeng Mansion in person and ask the businessman, what is going on, and where did this king provoke him."

Gao Liang glanced at the slender maid who was trotting forward, and was kneeling on the ground to clean up at this time, nodded and said, "It's better for the minister to go in person." ”

......

Kaifeng Province.

Since Shang Shi came here, the threshold has almost not been kicked out.

From the Tang King of Kaifeng to some small landlords, almost all of them came, and they were not empty-handed, all with courtesy.

Some people send it more obviously, while others are very subtle.

For example, today, in the middle of the night, in the dead of night, when the merchant came back from outside the city, he suddenly found that there were three more large boxes in the bedroom of the government office.

When I opened them one by one, I found that they were full of silver ingots.

At a cursory glance, there are no less than 300 silver ingots in these three major chests.

Shang Chen's knowledge in this life is not short-sighted, but it is no exaggeration to say that he has never seen so much money, which simply refreshes his worldview.

The merchant ghost closed the door tightly, silently walked to the table, and when he passed by the three major boxes, his eyes still glanced over involuntarily.

These three boxes of silver ingots, to say the least, have a few thousand taels, what is this concept, this is the concept that as long as you take these silver, you can spend enough money in this life and the previous life.

Judging from the current housing prices in the capital, a big house with three entrances and three exits near Chess and Card Street is only three to fifty thousand taels of silver, and these silvers can easily buy hundreds of sets, and they are rich.

No matter how much you toss, the silver is almost inexhaustible, and this is only the beginning, and the merchant can't imagine what their higher price will be after he refuses.

His mind was a little dazed, and he sat on the chair, which was the first test he had encountered since he became an official.

It is this first test that many people will not be able to reach in their lifetime.

Shang Zhen naturally understands that he has such a high starting price, not because of his name at all, let alone three yuan, but the three words of the mu folding method.

It is clear that these landlords are afraid!

But what they are afraid of is not themselves, it is His Majesty in the capital, it is this Jingtai New Dynasty that is committed to improving the situation of land annexation in the Ming Dynasty!
