Xu Jingchang hugged his fat, pink and tender son, the little guy grew up fast, or in a few years, he wouldn't be able to hold it.

"You little, you know? Someone has invested in you! ”

Of course, Xu Xianzhong didn't understand this, he just grinned.

And the child's laughter is the most lethal, Xu Jingchang quickly made up his mind, let this kid take more, it's not a big deal.

But since it's his own business, he can't let his son have a loss.

Xu Jingchang was very simple, he then issued a decree, and he also publicized it through the Di newspaper, about the discovery of gold from Luzon...... This news is too timely, and it is equivalent to a shot in the arm for the crumbling gold mine investment.

If it is said that there are still two deeds of defeating Dayuan in the Wa Kingdom, it makes people jealous and don't know what the result will be...... There's not much to say about Luzon.

To their extent, a few ships from the Three Treasure Eunuchs could solve the problem.

The thing of investment is to fight for a hope, as long as you firmly believe that tomorrow will be better, and there is constantly a story to tell, there will be no collapse.

And Xu Jingchang carried out another operation that was constantly outrageous...... He packaged the gold investment business, along with other Ming bonds, and sent them to Annan.

Such a good fortune business, it is natural to celebrate all over the world, and the whole country will enjoy it together, even if it is a vassal country, it can also be favored by the Ming Dynasty. Let's join hands and walk together to a rich and fertile land full of gold......

Seeing Xu Jingchang's operation, Xia Yuanji was speechless.

"I'm so stupid, really! I just thought that after this kid became a father, he would be more restrained and moral. I now know that someone is born with a lack of morality, and fortunately I didn't get married in the first place, otherwise I would have been sold by him. ”

Xia Yuanji sighed in his heart, but he also had to sigh, the surname Xu was really powerful, and he was stunned to suppress it when he saw a thunder that was about to explode.

This skill, looking at the court, there is really no one.

Xia Yuanji gathered the case file at hand and came over to find Xu Jingchang.

"Dingguo Gong, that monk Wuyu is negotiating with all parties, and one-third of him has accepted the interest adjustment, and he is willing to give up the dividends and only want to get the principal back...... The rest of the people are also talking. ”

Xu Jingchang nodded, "It seems that things are really getting better." ”

Xia Yuanji nodded, raised his head and sighed, and smiled bitterly, "I finally escaped another catastrophe." Dingguo Gong, I can't hide it, I really have the intention of resigning and not doing it. I'm like a poor man with a bucket of water, full of candles, and once they burn, they go straight up to the sky, and my little water is not enough at all. ”

Xia Yuanji frequently poured bitter water, and Xu Jingchang smiled: "Xia Shangshu, do you mean to add a few people to the household department?" ”

Xia Yuanji said: "This is also approved by His Majesty, and the household department should also have at least four Shangshu, one for household registration, one for business taxes, one for treasure money, and then one for an overview of the overall situation." ”

Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Finance......

Xu Jingchang smiled and nodded, "I completely agree, I'll talk to Jian Shangshu when I go back, and then hand the list to Your Majesty as soon as possible, and we will decide on Shangshu Shilang...... As for the officials below, do you think they are selected from the imperial examination, or what should they do? ”

Xu Jingchang's happiness simply stunned Lao Xiadu, "You don't hinder me, don't delay and prevaricate?" ”

Xu Jingchang snorted: "If you think of me like this, then I can do what you want." ”

Xia Yuanji hurriedly waved his hand, he didn't have a problem with himself.

After pondering for a while, Xia Yuan Jicai said: "Dingguo Gong, you see that this is the case, these things in the household department, just relying on the people who came out of the imperial examination, it is absolutely not good. I plan to seek talents from all over the world and complete the change of the household department as soon as possible. ”

"How?" Xu Jingchang was curious.

Xia Yuanji introduced: "The so-called Quartet seeks talents, this one is still the imperial examination, and the Langzhong under the waiter is the main thing, and it is inseparable from the imperial examination talents." ”

Xu Jingchang nodded, "That's right, after all, they are easy to control, and you can't grasp the more powerful ones." ”

Xia Yuanji gave Xu Jingchang a big look, "I don't have the same knowledge as you." ”

Then he said: "This second one is the Tai students, especially the Tai students in Jiangxi. ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Are those students who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got?" ”

"Yes, I found that they are very bold in investigating the local area thoroughly and dealing with large households, and the household department is in urgent need of such talents. Next, not only Jiangxi, but also other provinces can also be used. ”

Xu Jingchang agreed, "Xia Shangshu has a heart, this is a good move." ”

Xia Yuanji said: "The next thing is to seek talents from the market. ”

"On the market?"

"Yes, regardless of the three religions and nine streams, anyone who can pass the assessment and have a skill will all be included in the household department...... They are responsible for tax collection, tax evasion, etc. ”

Xu Jingchang also smiled: "Not bad." ”

"As for the last one...... I want to order soldiers! ”

"Terracotta? Isn't there a tax collector in the household department? ”

"It's not a tax collector, but the kind of person who has experience in the army, can order and prohibit, and act resolutely...... When I was in Beiping, I relied on the officers and men of the army to deal with the affairs of every pass...... They are not like officials, they do things simply, they act on orders, and they are very useful. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, and said in his heart that Xia Yuanji saw it quite accurately.

Except for a small number of imperial examination scholars, who belong to the façade, the remaining three categories are all capable and capable of doing things. Especially for officers and men in the army, this is even more of a clever trick.

Because of the relationship of martial arts, the general is no longer an unliterate old man, and it is completely possible for them to deal with some government affairs.

Moreover, the military background makes these people have strong executive ability and high obedience, which can be called valuable talents.

The only problem is that the large-scale introduction of these talents who are not considered talents will definitely anger the princes of the dynasty.

"Xia Shangshu, you're asking me to help you offend people!" Xu Jingchang sighed.

Xia Yuanji smiled, "State affairs are important, Dingguo Gong should work harder!" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Okay, I'll coordinate with Jian Shangshu...... In fact, it is not difficult to convince him, that is, to match the officials with four books! ”

Xia Yuanji's eyes widened instantly, "Dingguo Gong, you can't indulge him, now there are only four senators under the General Political Department, you can't let the officials take the lead!" ”

"And what about your household?" Xu Jingchang said lightly.

Xia Yuanji said: "Tobe? Whoever you want, I'll do it. I'm sure I'm obedient, you just need to give me a few more books. ”

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes directly, don't pretend to be a grandson with me, I'm not stupid. Even if it is the person I recommend, as long as he sits in the position of the head of the household, he must serve the interests of the household, which is no way to do it.

However, Xia Yuanji is also true...... The household department is a very professional yamen, and adding a few Shangshu, each of whom is responsible for a stall, will not shake the status of the general secretary.

But let the officials make it bigger, and the result will be different.

"Lao Xia, the matter is decided, I'll help you arrange it."

Xu Jingchang agreed, but no one expected that a piece of news from the sky would directly make the princes of the dynasty unable to do so.

"Dingguo Gong, according to the Jiangxi Emergency Report, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Poyang Lake." Fang Bin's face was sad...... Zhu Gaochi went to Poyang Lake and boated on the lake, what's the big deal?

But the next sentence immediately scared a group of people to death.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has used the excuse of swimming in the lake to persuade the water thieves in Poyang Lake!"

"What!"

Huang Guan stood up in surprise.

Lv Zhen, Liu Guan, Yang Shiqi, Yang Pu...... Their eyes widened.

Can't we make such a joke?

Although the water thieves in Poyang Lake are not as stubborn and long as Dongting Lake, their history is far better than that of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang, he sent people to suppress it, and the results were there, but they could not be eradicated.

Stretching to this day, I dare not say that it is a cancer, but also stubborn athlete's foot, and it will not be cured when I am idle.

"How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put himself in danger? Isn't this muddle! What do those officials do? Don't you know that His Highness's identity is respectful, in case of a mistake, who can afford it? Huang Guan asked with a snort.

Fang Bin hesitated for a moment, and snorted: "I see, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just wants to learn from a certain champion, go to Mount Tai, collect the bandits, and completely quell the bandits in Jiangxi...... But the bandits are different from the water cowards, and the champion of Enke is also different from His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

Fang Bin scolded Zuo Yutian.

It is true that Shandong's governance has set an example for the world.

There are Taishan thieves in Shandong, and there are also water thieves in Poyang Lake.

Zhu Gaochi wants to finish his work in one battle, and it is understandable.

But the problem is that it is indeed a bit too risky.

"Dingguo Gong, hurry up to Wenjiangxi, and let the local officials bring His Highness back no matter what." Lu Zhen said angrily.

Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji also mean this, "Why don't you send Jinyi Wei over?" Or...... Dingguo Gong, will you run it in person? ”

Xu Jingchang said in his heart that he was not tired, but that he had to take five days to go on a trip, and when he arrived in Jiangxi, he had to contact Zhu Gaochi...... Otherwise, what if you rush over and hurt Zhu Gaochi?

Just when the big guy was hesitating, Zhu Di suddenly arrived.

"None of you should go!"

In a word from the Son of Heaven, the messy ministers are all honest, and the big guy lowers his eyebrows and pleases his eyes, and he doesn't dare to say more.

Zhu Di went to the middle and sat down.

He looked up at the crowd, a very disagreeable smile on his face.

"I'm happy, really! The boss has a chance and dares to risk his life, this is the bearing of the prince of Daming, I didn't see the wrong person. Well, that's good! ”

Zhu Di said: "The big guy is here, waiting for the prince to triumph, I want to celebrate him in person, you don't have to worry, the boss has Bailing care, it's okay, it's okay!" ”

The corners of Zhu Laosi's mouth twitched, no matter how you look at it, it is insincere, no wonder, whose son ran to the thief's den, can he be calm when he is a father?

At this time, Zhu Di was not much better than an ordinary old father.

One day, two days, and on the third day, Zhu Di directly called Xu Jingchang over.

"No, I'm going to Jiangxi now, if you object, come with me."

Xu Jingchang shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty, the minister feels that there is no need to go." ”

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Di was furious, and grabbed Xu Jingchang with his hand, "You listen to me, the boss has a good relationship with you, he is in danger now, if you are indifferent, no matter what, I will not agree!" Xu Jingchang, you are also a father, you should know my thoughts! ”

When Zhu Di said this, it was actually in a pleading tone.

He really couldn't stand it.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the minister wants to say that His Highness didn't like His Majesty's personal expedition in the past, and he also had His Majesty's worries at this time...... Fathers and sons should still be considerate of each other. ”

Zhu Di was stunned and immediately said: "Of course I know that we understand each other, but the current thing is that the boss is in danger, what do you say?" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "Actually, Your Highness has already won." ”

"Win?"

Xu Jingchang nodded and said: "Your Highness personally went to Poyang Lake, there are eighteen water villages, more than 50,000 people have left Poyang Lake one after another, and Your Highness has successfully pacified the bandits in Jiangxi." ”
