Fengtian Temple,

The summoned officials came in a hurry, looking uneasy, and Yao Guangxiao appeared in the main hall, which meant that he wanted to discuss important matters.

Zhu Di's face was slightly gloomy, and he said slowly: "I want to change the salt method." ”

The officials looked at each other.

The salt law is related to the interests of the people in the world, and it often causes public resentment, and it has not been concluded after several changes.

"I wonder how Your Majesty wants to change it?" An impatient official came out.

"Salt was still sold by the imperial court to merchants for a fixed amount, and the merchants in turn sold it to the people, so that the household department solved the difficulty of liquidating small money...... The people can also buy flexibly, don't you say that there is too much grain to be harvested in the middle of the opening? Then change to cashier... The court has established a law, and it is not allowed to ask for a reward for salt, so as to prevent it from getting worse, how about the princes? Zhu Di's gaze swept over.

The officials present exchanged glances.

The implementation of this salt law has solved the problems that were previously debated, and even the law has been well thought out, and I don't know who came up with it.

"I think it can be implemented." Yao Guangxiao made a statement after deliberation.

The ministers nodded one after another.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Then try it out in Jiangnan first." ”

Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief, and after three days of sparse playing, he finally came to a conclusion, and when this set of salt laws was implemented, the people's grievances in Songjiang Mansion would naturally be solved.

Chen Ying's eyes were dilated, and she kept thinking about who told the prince?

Back to Fuchu.

Chen Ying didn't have time to change his official uniform, so he brought his henchmen Yushi and Marquis Wucheng and said, "The prince has calmed down the grievances of the people in Jiangnan. ”

"This ...... What does Your Majesty say about this? ”

The confidant Yu Shi opened his mouth slightly and looked at Chen Ying in surprise.

"What Your Majesty says, it doesn't matter anymore, today summoning the Wenyuan Pavilion Bachelor and the six departments, this matter is a foregone conclusion, this official just wants to know, in just two days, but who is secretly helping the prince?" Chen Ying asked.

Marquis Wucheng, who has connections in the palace, shook his head: "The prince is in the East Palace, and he has only seen Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyong. ”

Chen Ying stared at her eyes, pondered for a moment, and muttered to herself: "Zhu Zhanji, not Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji can see His Majesty every day, can speak bluntly, and does not have to go through the prince, is it Zhu Zhanji?" When the king of Han left Beijing, he reminded the official to guard against this person. ”

"My son is in prison, and Ben Hou can't go south, it's all his credit."

Wucheng Hou Wang Cong took a sip of wine.

He was concerned: "What does Master Chen want to do?" ”

…………

Zhu Zhanyong returned to his residence, Zhang Jiu prepared lunch, the same time as usual, radish and green vegetables and goose meat, only Zhang Jiu and a palace lady served closely, looking a little deserted.

Hearing the matter of the salt law just now, the eyes of several people were full of brilliance, especially the three people.

Three: "In the pre-Qin period, salt was mined by the people, freely transported and sold, there was no salt law at all, and in the early Han Dynasty, only the salt tax was levied, and when Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court boiled salt and sold salt, and I had never heard of such a salt law. ”

Of course I didn't hear it a thousand years ago......

Wu: "How is this law being implemented?" ”

Sanhewu was curious about this.

Zhu Zhanyong guessed that these two guys also wanted to implement it in their respective dynasties.

Zhu Zhanyong: "If you want to implement it, you need to have a premise, that is, the world is unified, and the imperial power is absolutely stable, otherwise, it will only make the price of salt rise, and finally the people can't afford to eat salt." ”

Three: "I still want to try." ”

Zhu Zhanyong: "Since ancient times, the law has not ended well, so that the people will benefit, and they will be killed by the scholars, three, you should know that the Shang Yang car is cracked, right?" ”

He had already speculated that the third was at the end of the Han Dynasty, at least in the dynasty after Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty.

Three: "Thanks for the reminder. ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanyong's words, everyone became cautious.

Zhu Zhanyong: "Well, how is your business doing?" ”

His ability is very useful, and I want to have a good relationship with him.

"I recruited a village warrior and bought a few granges, but before the grain was planted, most of the gold was spent. ”

Zhu Zhanyong: "It's really not good, just rob other gentry." ”

IV: "......"

It is estimated that he is a scholar and cannot do such a thing.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always talked a lot, didn't say a word this time.

……

At this moment, Hongwu is twenty-eight years.

In the Temple of Heaven,

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sleeping very heavily on the dragon chair and had some gray temples, trembled slightly with his heroic brows, and slowly opened his eyes.

The scattered eyes gradually gathered their brightness and looked at the sky outside the hall.

"How long did we sleep?"

Your Majesty, you just closed your eyes, are you sleeping......

The old eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty didn't have long to close your eyes, and King Yan was still kneeling outside, and it was about to snow." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Let him kneel!" ”

"His Royal Highness Yunwen has come down and said that he wants to dine with His Majesty tonight." Speaking of Zhu Yuanzhang's most doted grandson, the old eunuch smiled and groaned.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly: "Let him go back, let's sleep for a while, and no one will disturb us." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes.

But he opened it again.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and instructed: "Shangyi Supervisor's prayer loyalty, give him a hundred taels of silver, he is alone outside the palace to clear the hardships, the Lantern Festival is coming, and he ordered someone to prepare some pastries for him, so he said, we gave it to him." ”

Qi Er is the chief eunuch of Shangyi Prison, but he has only served Zhu Yuanzhang to change his clothes, and he doesn't know what shit luck he has taken.

He also gave a name, praying for loyalty.

Then, he was sent out of the palace.

The old eunuch didn't dare to slack off: "The slave and maid will do it." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

………

Zhu Zhanyong had dinner and asked Zhang Hui to see him in the palace, but the little brother did not come for a long time.

Is this something wrong?

With doubts, Zhu Zhanyong came to the Xincheng Hou Mansion, and the steward invited Zhu Zhanyong in as if he had seen his own young master.

"Where's my brother Zhang Hui?"

The steward said, "In the backyard, the villain will go to report." ”

At this time, in the backyard in the middle of the lake.

Li Zhilu has a jade appearance, and her face is always calm.

"What are you going to do? If you don't say it, I'll do it on my brother's behalf. ”

"I don't say it."

"Go get the baguette."

"You... You, sister, don't you love me the most? The eldest brother is not here, so don't use the family baguette, right? ”

The maid quickly took a piece of patent leather smooth stick in the ancestral hall and skillfully handed it to Li Zhilu.

Zhang Hui wanted to run, but Li Zhilu had already ordered someone to tie him up, and at this moment, he could only be like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, constantly twisting his limbs and body, looking a little funny and pitiful.

The steward stepped forward, bowed and said, "Miss, His Royal Highness Zhan Yong has come down." ”

Li Zhilu thought about it, put down the stick, and instead ordered someone to loosen Zhang Hui's rope.

When Zhang Hui turned around and ran away, she looked at the steward: "Let's go and see, what the young master does." ”

Zhu Zhanyong enjoyed the pastries of the Hou Mansion, and when he saw Zhang Hui, who was alive and well, he knew that he was fine.

"Your Highness, I wanted to go to the palace to meet you, but I was caught by my sister." Zhang Hui tried his best to explain the reason for the no-show.

You really talk about credit, in this capital, it is the most difficult to find people who talk about credit, especially Zhu Zhanyong just came to the capital, and no one knows him.

"Do you know Xie Jin's mansion?"

"What are you doing with that old man?"

Zhang Hui just wanted to sit down, but he stiffened, he really didn't want to think about it anymore.

Zhu Zhanyong said: "Last time, we bumped into the carriage of the Duke and left in a hurry, but now we are idle and don't go to the door to apologize, is that still a student?" ”

Zhang Hui also felt that it made sense after listening to it.

"Xie Jin's mansion... Of course I do. ”

Xie Jin's mansion is on the west side of Shanzhengfang Street, and the location can only be regarded as the third ring road of the capital, which is quite prosperous.

It is also a three-in, three-out mansion.

Knock

"My lord is not in the house." The doorman smiled at Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui was very angry and felt that he had lost face in front of Zhu Zhanyong, but in the capital, he was indeed a guy who hated ghosts.

Zhu Zhanyong said: "Go again, say that Zhu Zhanyong is here." ”

Soon, the doorman opened the door and smiled: "My lord is invited." ”

According to his temper in the past, Zhang Hui wanted to kick the door to express his dissatisfaction, but the door was open, and seeing that Jian Jin was already waiting in the courtyard, he didn't dare.

Regardless of whether Zhu Zhanyong is in the court or not, he is the emperor's grandson.

These are all due diligences.

When he came to the main hall and waited for the people to serve the tea, Xie Jin wanted to confirm: "Today, the prince is discussing the salt law in the Fengtian Palace, is it His Highness's idea?" ”

The crown prince just came to the capital, and there were no ministers to support him at all, except for Zhu Zhanyong, he couldn't think of anyone else.

Xie Jin was one of the few officials in the court who firmly supported his father...... Zhu Zhanyong was very frank: "This palace has discussed this matter with my father. ”

Xie Jin looked at Zhu Zhanyong for a long time, and it turned out that Zhu Zhanyong really came up with it.
