Chapter 161: What do you want?

Zhu Xiongying's age, identity, and ability doomed him to not be strong.

Maybe after a few years or more than ten years, Zhu Xiongying will really gain a firm foothold in the imperial court. It is possible to become a strong king, but when that time comes, where is He Xi?

He Xi can't even judge himself?

It was a victim of the king's and ministers' fighting methods, and the grass on the grave was three feet high. Or idle for more than ten years, everything has to start again.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "He Xi, you should know, why have I responded to your requests all these years? ”

He Xi said: "Your Majesty hopes that I can use the knowledge of the future generations to benefit the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Not bad. But if you can't, what do I want you to do? It is useless for a person who cannot promote the success of the reform. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, then, after I die, you will follow, after all, killing them and using their methods, as soon as you die, you will dispel the resentment of the people of the world, and the laws you leave behind will be more preserved. ”

"You should be able to figure this out."

He Xi can naturally figure it out. There is political calculation in this.

In a word, Zhu Xiongying is not Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao himself didn't think he could handle the mess left by Zhu Yuanzhang, how could Zhu Xiongying handle it, Zhu Xiongying himself might think that he could handle it well, it was just the ignorance and fearlessness of the young man.

After accepting this reality, it is time to think about how to deal with the aftermath.

If you can't push forward, you can only back down. This concession can be a political concession, a system concession, and a personnel concession. Zhu Yuanzhang's idea is to preserve as much as possible a series of achievements of He Xi's construction.

But to keep this one means to make large-scale concessions elsewhere, otherwise this thing will not be easy to do.

Zhu Yuanzhang's idea is to borrow He Xi's head.

He Xi's identity and status have been determined in the past ten years, even if he no longer likes He Xi, he has to admit that He Xi is a great talent, even if he hates He Xi, he has to admit He Xi, the great Confucian in the world, the identity of the leader of the law change. 33

In addition, He Xi is Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite son-in-law, so many identities add up, which is enough weight.

It is very possible to use He Xi's head to exchange the opposition for not being aggressive and stopping in moderation.

He Xi actually thought about what would happen to him one day. Dying for his career, He Xi did not regret it, and felt romantic. Yes. Many women always feel that Chinese men don't understand romance. Especially for straight men in science and engineering, as everyone knows, doing one thing in his life, and doing his best for this thing and dying, this is the romance of men. Just like the scientists who forged swords for the Chinese nation on the Great Gobi, that is the ultimate romance.

It's just that He Xi didn't think about this way of dying.

It's really aggrieved.

He Xi said: "The minister understands. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What else do you want to say? ”

He Xi said: "No. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You go down and think about it, I also want to think about the position of the prince." There's not much time left for you. ”

When He Xi heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he only felt shocked, and he immediately grasped Zhu Yuanzhang's extraneous meaning.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to see the success of the change. It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang needs to let He Xi let him see hope. Otherwise, you can only find a way to stop the loss in time.

He Xi didn't want to die. I don't want to die like this.

In an instant, He Xi burst out with a strong desire to survive, and secretly said in his heart: "I must solve this problem." He said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the change will definitely succeed." ”

He Xi secretly said in his heart: "Isn't it just painting cakes?" You must draw this cake big and round, and you want to fool Zhu Yuanzhang. ”

It's just that He Xi immediately thought again: "Zhu Yuanzhang is not a person who is easy to fool. ”

After Zhu Yuanzhang sent He Xi away, he was breathing a little short of breath on the back of the reclining chair.

Zhu Yuanzhang had to admit that he was old. Although there is a serious illness that has not been cured, he can't support it by talking to others, which shows how weak his body is. Zhu Yuanzhang doubted whether he could live to the thirty-one years of Hongwu.

It doesn't matter, though. At his age, it doesn't matter if he lives two more years or two years less.

What matters is the arrangement of what happens after the death.

He Xi himself may not have felt it, but in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had already put him and King Yan on the same starting line.

As mentioned earlier, Zhu Yuanzhang is a pure political figure. Compared with his son, he values the political heir more, which is also a knot that he can't untie with the crown prince.

Regarding the matter of changing the law, after the death of the prince and the queen, Zhu Yuanzhang wavered, but now Zhu Yuanzhang has made up his mind again.

And the only person who can really fit in with Zhu Yuanzhang today is He Xi.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang asked He Xi to give a plan. In fact, it is not much different from Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry to King Yan.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang could not give the throne to He Xi. For He Xi, there are disadvantages and disadvantages, but power can be inherited. Otherwise, how did this thing come about?

This is also the exam question that Zhu Yuanzhang gave to He Xi.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang has already thought of a solution, but this method is too tragic. made Zhu Yuanzhang hesitate again and again, whether to do it or not. He hoped that He Xi would have a good way. Instead of using him to make a decision.

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly said in his heart: "He Xi, I hope you don't let me down." Otherwise a lot of people will die, many, many people. ”

------

After He Xi went back, he didn't go to the secretary at all. went directly back to He Mansion and called Yao Guangxiao over. told Yao Guangxiao about today's conversation with Zhu Yuanzhang, and even the conversation between King Yan and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Yao Guangxiao was silent for a while and said, "My lord, Your Majesty's judgment is good. Although many Beijing locals have benefited from the success of Beijing's reform of the law, they dare not say anything else, Liaodong and Beijing, with more than 3 million people, and none of them are willing to abolish the new law. But in Jiangnan, it was a different situation, I corresponded with my brother-in-law, and learned that the weavers in Suzhou City were not having a good time this year, and the payment was slower than before. Many owners have pressed their capital. There are also a few companies that have sold machines from Liaodong and are no longer cooperating with weavers. In short, there are a lot of various things. It's just that there is no music in the imperial court, and there is no newspaper on it. No one seems to be paying attention. It's just that Suzhou has a tax of 2 million stones every year, and this heavy burden is actually supported by weavers. Once, the interests of the weavers are damaged, and the city of Suzhou will inevitably be in turmoil. Maybe it's just around the corner. There is an undercurrent in the world, and more importantly, how far has this undercurrent reached? No one knows. I don't know how to tell. ”

"My lord, do you think the Suzhou gentry officials are willing to cause chaos in Suzhou, or are they willing to put the so-called chaos in order and prohibit the new law?"

He Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Do you still need to say it?" ”

If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem. This is the same in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. Truth be told, there is almost no silk produced in the Northeast, and it is very small in quantity. The main problem is the raw material of silk.

That is, mulberry leaves. However, there are oak trees in the northeast, and oak silkworms can also be woven. Even Shandong, Liaodong, and Goryeo have a tradition of oak silk.

In the Yingkou University Hall, there is this topic. On the basis of the original, improve the production efficiency of this oak silkworm.

In fact, there is no big achievement yet. After all, not to mention, in this era, He Xi has only mentioned a lot of scientific research methods, and the specific details still need a lot of supplements. It is also normal for the efficiency of scientific research to be slow. Not to mention biological research, which is not going to be fast in the first place.

But there has been a little success, so that silk has also become one of the industries in the Northeast. In terms of output, there is not much, not even as much silk as in any small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Good quality.

But there are many things that cannot be looked at alone. There is a universal connection between affairs, which affects each other. To study silk, we can not only study silk, can not only focus on silk, but also look at other high-end fabrics, and market purchasing power, etc., under the comprehensive discussion, Liaodong's actions in the textile market, and the impact on Suzhou weavers.

Some people died, but not completely......
