"Other rewards, Wei Chen has no objections, but this is the first spring after His Majesty ascended the throne, although Lord Lin is said to be outstanding in virtue and ability, but his qualifications are still shallow, I am afraid that it is difficult to compete."

Yao Guangxiao sighed in his heart, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the first spring was the top priority.

Whoever holds the position of chief examiner is His Majesty's real confidant, the battle of Jingjing, for Zhu Di's ascension to the throne, he has worked hard and made great contributions, this post of chief examiner, even if he is not himself, how can it not be Lin Hao's turn.

"Monk Daoyan, this is a bad word, Lord Lin has only been in Yingtianfu for half a year, and he has repeatedly made miraculous achievements for the Ming Dynasty, how can he come from the qualifications are still shallow, His Majesty let Lord Lin serve as the main examiner of this first Spring Festival, it must be a long time to think about it, and Weichen will look good."

Shangzhuguo Zhang Fu sneered and stepped forward to speak.

"The minister seconded the proposal, if Lord Lin is not qualified to serve as the chief examiner of this Chunqiu, I am afraid that no one will be able to do it above the court."

Jin Chun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also gave up.

……

Everyone who has never dealt with Yao Guangxiao has a burst of ridicule in their hearts, this is not lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot.

On weekdays, I rely on the emperor's grace and make a blessing, but Your Majesty doesn't treat you as a thing at all.

"The matter is so decided, and the others don't need to say more."

Zhu Di waved his hand.

"Obey."

Even if Yao Guangxiao is unwilling in his heart, he can only accept it.

"Father, Sui'er saw that the second brother and Lord Lin were doing business, and the results were outstanding, and I was envious in my heart, and the two-year training period in the army was almost over, and I wanted to ask my father for one of the thirty-six squares in the outer city for business."

Zhu Gaosui walked up to Jin Chun and hugged his fists.

"This idea is good, since it is doing business in Yingtianfu, it is necessary to play the responsibility of driving the livelihood of the people, Sui'er is not deeply involved in the world, so he follows Xu'er's side, learning and doing."

"Father heard that Chi'er is also in business, the Fenghualou in Yingtianfu, the Qian family dyeing workshop, and the Tongzhou bookstore are all your industry, you don't have to hide it in the future, and you can compete with your second brother in the shopping mall."

Zhu Di is not a taste in his heart, although he is not bad in business, but he was born in the army, and he also hopes that he can have a son and inherit the mantle.

Zhu Gaochi was weak and unfit to be in the army, Zhu Gaochu was originally a good seedling, but he was led more and more by Lin Hao, leaving only Sui'er as a lone seedling, and he didn't think that now Sui'er also had the idea of doing business.

"Please also ask my father to make it clear!"

Zhu Gaoxu arched his hand towards Zhu Di.

In addition to Brother Lin in business, he has never been afraid of anyone, and he has long wanted to have a fight with Zhu Gaochi!

"Xie Jin, you go and get thirty-six bamboo sticks, respectively engraved with the names of the thirty-six squares in the outer city of Yingtianfu, Chi'er and Xu'er draw lots, where to draw, where to do business and construction as the center, for half a year, then I will personally go to the acceptance."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Di blurted out.

Zhu Gaochi put his hands on his chest, not thinking at all, what is the difference between this and the child's family?

Just a square city, how much silver can be earned, if you really want to do business, you must look at the entire Ming Dynasty, only in this way can you prosper in business.

"The people in the market are your people, the way of doing business, and the way of governing the country, all changes are inseparable, my father wants to see which of you two brothers is better."

Zhu Di squinted slightly, and then said.

"It's all up to my father!"

Zhu Gaochi's heart trembled, the way of doing business is like the way of governing the country, he and Zhu Gaochu, who wants to be better, the father is not able to do this is a hint, whoever can govern the city well, will be able to inherit the unification, and hurriedly agreed.

Soon Xie Jin held a bamboo tube and went up to the main hall.

"Second brother, you first?"

A hint of banter flashed in Zhu Gaochi's eyes, Zhu Gaochu grew up in the military camp since he was a child, in addition to brute force, the so-called ability to do business relied on Lin Hao.

The father and emperor categorically would not hand over the Ming Dynasty to a monarch who could only do business, so this time, the governance of the Fang City is the top priority.

He has been following his father since he was a child, learning strategy and governing the country, which can be said to be heard and seen, and he also had the experience of the prince supervising the country before, what did Zhu Gaoxu do to fight with himself!?

Zhu Gaoxu took out a bamboo stick from the bamboo tube, and saw the word Zhixingfang written on it.

"The second brother's luck doesn't seem to be very good, Ying Tianfu Outer City, among the thirty-six squares, the most barren is this Zhixing Fang."

A hint of ridicule flashed in Zhu Gaochi's eyes, and then he put his hand into the bamboo tube.

Xie Jin glanced at a bamboo stick in the corner of the bamboo tube, and Zhu Gaochi immediately understood and took out the bamboo stick.

Doorway.

"From now on, the Menting Fang will be taken over by Chi'er, and the Zhixing Fang will be handed over to Xu'er."

Zhu Di said in a deep voice.

"Second brother, it's too late to admit defeat now, so as not to lose face in the end."

A hint of cunning flashed in Zhu Gaochi's eyes.

There are 36 squares in the outer city of Tianfu, and the gate courtyard is the earliest existence of the system, and only people with official status can settle in the inner city.

Therefore, in terms of wealth alone, Mentingfang is not worse than the inner city, and many infrastructures are even better than the inner city.

The so-called poor mountains and bad waters are more difficult for the people, and the governance of Zhixingfang is not a little more difficult than that of Mentingfang.

"Why do you want to admit defeat, being able to govern Zhixingfang in an orderly manner is the ability, the second brother has never liked to sit back and enjoy what he has done."

Zhu Gaochu snorted lightly, his eyes were full of disdain, and he didn't take what Zhu Gaochi said to heart at all.

……

"This matter will be closed, in addition, do you Aiqing have any intention to play?"

Zhu Di was obviously quite satisfied with Zhu Gaoxu's answer and said approvingly.

"The Tatar prince Lantu is leading the envoys on the way to Yingtian, at most half a month, they can arrive at Yingtianfu, according to His Majesty's words, what does Lantu mean by this trip?"

Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and spoke.

Whenever the two countries send envoys to each other, they must first hand over the documents, and the documents will first reach the Ministry of Rites.

"In recent years, the Mobei Warat clan has risen rapidly by occupying water sources and pastures, and it has faintly overshadowed the Tatar clan."

"The secret investigation department sent back a secret letter, in the early spring, the Tatars and Warat fought at the Xiaohe River, losing 8,000 cavalry, and even the fierce general Natulu was captured alive."

"The Tatars negotiated with the Tarat several times, intending to return to Natulu, but the leader of the Warat, Bahan, instead of agreeing, showed the head of the Naturu Owl to the public, and defeated the Tatar iron cavalry in several battles in succession, and the Tatars could only retreat to the north of Helan Mountain to hibernate."

Zhao Si pinched his throat and said what the secret spy in his hand said.

"Father, the son thinks that Lantu came to Daming this time, most of them to make friends with Daming, and want to use the hands of Daming to resist the Warat Iron Cavalry."

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said.

"Yes, how do you think Chi'er should deal with Prince Lantu?"

Zhu Di said quietly.

"Erchen believes that he should ostensibly promise the Tatars and send troops to help them attack the Warat tribe, but in fact, he secretly led 100,000 troops by Zhang Fu of the Zhu State, all the way south, and took advantage of the great damage of the Tatars to break through in one fell swoop."

Zhu Gaochi talked eloquently, and he was familiar with military books on weekdays, and knew that the time and place were favorable.

At this time, it is the best opportunity to exterminate the Tatars, the Ming Dynasty is the Son of Heaven, why should he make a good alliance with the Huns?

"Erchen thinks no!"

Zhu Gaoxu said loudly.

"The second brother doesn't know how to march and fight, don't attack at this time, wait until the Tatars recover their vitality, and then want to take it, it is impossible to ......"

Zhu Gaochi's brows suddenly furrowed, and he wanted to strangle Zhu Gaochu to death, so he had to go against himself.

"Erchen saw, at this time to lead the troops to attack the Tatars, is not a wise move, nomads, has always been uncertain, north of Helan Mountain, the terrain is vast, the cavalry has a natural advantage, after the Ming army has traveled a long distance, not to mention the energy is still geometric, just the water and soil are not adapted, the combat power will be greatly reduced."

"Although Warat and Tatar are now at odds, who can guarantee that the Xiongnu tribes will not unite to encircle our army, and if they are really surrounded on the steppe, they will definitely suffer heavy losses."

Zhu Gaoxu said sonorously.

"You fart, Naturunai is the first fierce general of Tatar, and now he is being shown to the public by the leader of Warat, the two have formed a mortal enemy, how can they join forces!?"

Zhu Gao was angry and ruined.

"Fighting on the march cannot be done by chance, and the sons believe that instead of taking advantage of the fire, they should come to the aid of the Tatars and make friends with them."

"Now between the two tribes, check and balance each other, to reach a delicate balance, if the Tatars are really exterminated, the entire Mobei grassland, will become a world of the Warat tribe, and there will be endless troubles at that time."

Zhu Gaochu didn't pay attention to Zhu Gaochi's meaning at all, and expressed his opinion directly.

"Okay, there is no need to say more, I have my own decision, this matter will be handed over to Lu Zhen to handle, before the Tatars come to Yingtian, the Honglu Temple will be repaired properly, as for those individuals of the Shandong clan, if there is no change, they will be released."

Zhu Di cleared his throat and said in an unquestionable tone.

"If you let go of the people of the Shandong clan, how should Zhuang Tinghao deal with it?"

Jin Chun then asked.

Zhuang Tinghao, a great Confucian in Shandong, has been under house arrest in the prison of the Criminal Department for more than half a year, which is really a hot potato.

The people of the Shandong clan were grounded and Zhuang Tinghao was imprisoned, so they couldn't leak the news, but once they were released, if Zhuang Tinghao's matter was reported back to Shandong Mansion, I was afraid that there would be a change.

"Zhuang Lao himself is not much at fault, you go and tell me, as long as he is willing to write a confession, I will not be guilty of the past, and I can return to Shandong Mansion with the people of the Shandong clan."

Zhu Di waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is difficult to achieve, Zhuang Tinghao's old man, like an insoles, smelly and hard, even went on hunger strike three times and twice in prison, and it is impossible to get him to write a confession."

Jin Chun said with a sad face.

If it is an ordinary person, he will be punished, and he will have to be honest if he is not honest, but this Zhuang Tinghao's identity is not ordinary, and he can't beat him or scold him.

Even if he went on a hunger strike, he had to find ways to coax him to eat, according to him, this was a prison sentence, and it was a blessing at all.

Lin Hao hid his body behind Zhu Gaoxu, praying in his heart that Zhu Di would not look at himself.

"Lin Aiqing, how about you handle this matter?"

Zhu Di looked at Lin Haodao.
