Chapter 367: The Eve

Zhu Youxiao left the deep palace for the first time to see the world, and he was still confused about the so-called Zhu family's world, and how to operate and circulate Tianfu goods.

But his brain and observation skills are not weak, and he knows how much his teacher's tricks are used, and at this moment, seeing that Kong Yinzhi and Kong Shangyi's faces are not good, he immediately understands that Master Zheng's second trick must be more worthy of making a fuss than ordering Yan Song's inscription.

Zhu Youxiao then squeezed the clear ignorance on his face harder, and asked, "What is Gate Kobe?" What is Kamito Toda?"

Zhu Yipai, the general of Zhenguo, understood that it was time for him to play.

The heir of the Lu Domain, assuming the respectful posture of the Zhu Family Sect to the genuine prince, explained the confusion: "When the Taizu and Yongle Lords were born, they gave the Yansheng Mansion a sacrificial field, and the grain harvest was no longer handed over to the Yanzhou Mansion, which is similar to the rules set for us to the Lu Domain. However, General Ben has heard since he was a child that in addition to sacrificing fields, the Yansheng Mansion also has many Qin households, and there is no need to serve the state and county, just work for the Yansheng Mansion. Later, in addition to sacrificing fields and Qin appropriation households, the Yansheng Gongfu asked the imperial court to play, so there were Lile households, door god households, and horse herding households, and each household allocated acres of land, which should be neither necessary to pay summer and autumn taxes, nor should they have to send the state and county to levy labor. Princes of the Confucian Mansion, is there a discrepancy between what General Ben said?"

Zhu Yipai is telling the truth.

In previous years, the Confucian government opened its mouth and stretched out its hand to ask the imperial court to keep asking for land, or to send the private land donated by the people of Shandong to escape the summer and autumn taxes and forced labor in various names, which is an act of collecting the country's wool that cannot be relied on.

Kong Yinzhi and Kong Shangyi, now they don't dare to pick on what Zhu Yipai said, and they have nothing to pick, so they can only respond with an embarrassed smile.

Zhu Yipai looked like "my role has not yet been completed", and said with emotion: "I am a Ming dynasty, I am really a prosperous era of respecting Kong Chongwen, and the names of the fields and properties that are not in the name of the clan and the prince of the country are only available in the Shenggong Mansion. His Royal Highness the eldest son must keep it in mind."

The people of the Confucian Mansion are not stupid, how can they not hear these words of Zhu Yipai's smile hidden in the knife, there is clearly a sense of instigation, and all of them have green faces.

Those who are as shrewd as Kong Shangyi are even more surprised and panicked.

The old foxes realized that the female master of the eldest son of the emperor had spoken out twice, obviously not because she was mad, but sent troops in an orderly manner, and was supported by Zhu Yipai.

If Zheng Haizhu's actual identity is similar to the imperial history, then Zhu Yipai, the general of Zhenguo who must have won the nod of King Lu, is more representative of the Zhu family in the Forbidden City than this woman.

Regardless of whether Zhu Youxiao, who looks like a young man, can pretend to be good, at least Zheng Haizhu and Zhu Yipai must be the soldiers of the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The faces of the rich men were green, and the faces of the princes were cloudy.

Zhu Youxiao's tone was a little unpolite: "No wonder Master Zheng wonders, a few pictures of the door god can be worth the harvest of many acres of grains, as well as forced labor. Isn't the door god only used during the Chinese New Year? Do you have to draw every month?"

Wang Song, the director of the Ministry of Rites, saw that the scene was about to get out of control again, so he hurriedly said, "Your Highness will move to the three halls and six halls first, right?"

Zhu Yipai waved his robe sleeves, and the moon echoed clearly: "Yes, yes, let's go and see the official office of the Confucian Mansion first. If the eldest son of the emperor wants to explain in detail how the dynasty treats the descendants of the saints in the matter of giving land, it is a coincidence, and he will turn around and let the people from Hucao of Yanzhou who are traveling with him come to Chen."

……

At night, the main courtyard of the Yansheng Mansion that used to receive the royal driver, Cao Huachun glanced at the brocade guards and small firefighters who were surrounded by a circle under the courtyard wall, turned around and closed the door, and stood in front of the steps.

In the richly furnished study, Zhu Youxiao finally heard the content of his father's dictation from Zheng Haizhu's mouth.

"Long live the Lord told me not to tell His Highness and Pan on the canal from the south, but in fact, he has good intentions. His Royal Highness has seen it with his own eyes this time, the spring drought in Ludi is everywhere, and the fertile land endowed by the upper is getting less and less, and it is really difficult to release grain and silver into Beijing. What's more, there is also a government like Yansheng Mansion that has to rely on forced labor or broken money, and the government builds canals, bridges and paves roads, what can be done?"

As soon as Zheng Haizhu's words fell, Zhu Yipai smashed his fist on the table.

"How unreasonable! What Wenqu Xingyan Holy Prince's Ten Thousand Masters watched, in my opinion, it was a group of silverfish lying on the coffin of the ancestor eating and drinking," Zhu Yipai looked at Zhu Youxiao and said

He said fiercely, "If it is said that the land is exempted, so is our Lu Domain. However, over the years, just in Yanzhou to build bridges for disaster relief, King Lu took out 200,000 taels of Zonglu. This time, I heard that the imperial court had opened a new Liaoyu department, and donated hundreds of dumps of grain fields. Look at this Kong family again, if it weren't for our Zhu family's food, the house would not even be as good as a broken temple, but now it is good, not only do they not pull out a dime, but they also have to dig out food and silver from the household bowl."

Zheng Haizhu quietly took a few sips of tea, and only after Zhu Yipai finished showing his own merits did he pretend to appease and said, "General Zhenguo, don't be angry with yourself when you talk about it, and you can't turn money into money when you are angry. This time I went south, Long Live Lord set the tune, how to sing in Qufu, don't we already have a plan?"

"Okay, Master Zheng, you can listen to His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor."

"Brother," Zheng Haizhu turned to Zhu Youxiao, bringing a closer title, but the semantics were resolute, "The Yansheng Mansion is not shallow. Back in the day, an iron-fisted figure like Shoufu Zhang Ju Zhenggong was blocked everywhere when he was strictly enforcing Qingtian. Therefore, this time, we have to go off the rails with our swords, and our moves should be ruthless, don't think about saving face for Confucius. The court saved face for them, did they leave silver for the court? Isn't it?"

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, the excitement of the day increased again.

The young man with strong blood loves tough battles.

"Master Zheng, how is it ruthless?"

Zheng Haizhu then explained in detail how to make good use of the people he arranged in advance tomorrow and the music and dance students brought by Lu Mansion, as well as Zhu Youxiao's personal singing.

"Okay, I'll listen to Master Zheng." Zhu Youxiao rubbed his hands.

At the same time, in the west of Qufu City, deep in the courtyard of the Confucian clan, Kong Yinzhi sat at the top of the hall, his eyebrows locked, facing Kong Shangyi and other descendants.

"Can't you see that?" Kong Shangyi knocked on the lid of the teacup, "The imperial court is short of money, and it is finally going to move our Yansheng Mansion."

Another elder at the bottom of the seat said angrily: "On weekdays, we don't send Tuyi and silver to the Ministry of Rites, what's going on with the Ministry of Rites, haven't you gotten any news? Isn't the Book of Rites Han Yi? Isn't Han Yi Donglin? Didn't Donglin rely on the merit of the dragon and be valued by the long-lived master? Look at the Lord Wang who came back, stupid as a donkey who only grinds in circles."

"Don't talk about him," Kong Yinzhi interrupted the man, "Uncles, what should I do next?" My nephew believes that at this moment, the general of the Zhenguo Mansion of the King of Lu may be taking the officials sent by the Yanzhou Mansion to arrange the great deal of our Confucian Mansion to the eldest son of the emperor."

"Can't be convinced," Kong Shangyi said firmly, "Lu Fan obviously sold us for their own benefit. If we are soft once, we have to be soft a hundred times and a thousand times. Let them blow in the east, west, north and south, we have the support of the world's scholars, what are we afraid of? Respect for Confucius is the rule set by Emperor Taizu, the dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and the most important is the law of the ancestors. I don't believe it, they dare to come hard."
