Chapter 319: Zhu Zhanji Starts a Business
It was a successful congress, an unprecedented congress, a fruitful congress...... The courtiers of the Son of Heaven, together with people from all walks of life, talked about the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Food security, justice justice, equity in education, ...... were discussed. Your Majesty really heard the voice of the people, and made up his mind to relieve the people's worries, help the people, and solve practical difficulties.
"You're all coming and seeing."
Zhu Di pointed to his bookcase, on which were engraved with a few big characters: food, justice, education.
The first time Xu Jingchang saw it, he lamented in his heart that a good golden silk nanmu table was a waste. The next time I go back to the palace to purchase, just get a red sour branch for Zhu Di.
If a good thing is given to him, it is also a waste, so it is better to put it in the Xu Mansion!
As for the other courtiers, they frowned one by one and sighed.
"The people's aspirations, the people's concerns, I can't be indifferent. As my confidant and minister, you must do your best and not be ambiguous. ”
Zhu Di stared at Xia Yuanji and said, "What are the arrangements of the household department?" ”
Xia Yuanji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the household department has sent personnel overseas, and the matter of preparing for the construction of overseas granaries has been put on the agenda. The Ministry of Households has set aside a special fund for the purchase of land. ”
Zhu Di nodded, and said, "Then what if they don't sell it?" ”
"They'll sell!" Natsuhara Yoshichi said firmly.
Zhu Di frowned, and Xu Jingchang coughed lightly beside him: "Your Majesty, when they buy porcelain and silk from the Ming Dynasty, they will naturally be allowed to purchase land, balance trade, and take what they need." There is no reason for them not to agree, and our envoy will talk to them properly. ”
Zhu Di groaned slightly, and finally understood what Xu Jingchang meant, and was reluctant to open the door, so naturally someone helped them figure it out, Zheng He's fleet was not just for business.
"Well, that's good!" Zhu Di was very satisfied, "As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, you must be brave and martial, have a pioneering and enterprising heart, and have the ambition to overcome obstacles. ”
Natsuhara Yoshida won a lottery.
Zhu Di immediately inquired about the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment.
"I have to care about the things that the people care about, and if the people can't keep an eye on you, I will keep an eye on you, and if there is anything wrong, I will not be polite."
It can be heard that since he prides himself on being the son of heaven of the people, Zhu Di has spoken more confidently.
The princes present, except for Xu Jingchang, all frowned deeply and sighed.
Fooled again.
And it's a bad thing!
In the past, officials always liked to use the banner of the people to advise the Son of Heaven and ask for the people's lives.
There is a mystery hidden in this, the officials and the people stand together, and it is the emperor who needs to be restrained. In this way, the officials have sufficient legitimacy to point fingers. For the sake of the people, I am unscrupulous.
But now His Majesty has robbed this commanding height, and the Son of Heaven represents the people, supervises hundreds of officials, and forces the ministers to do things.
This time it is equivalent to putting the hundred officials on the fire and roasting.
Therefore, the courtiers need to restrain the Son of Heaven, but they also need to be pretending to be powerful and commanding.
But now, the logic is undergoing complex changes, and the status of the courtiers is different from what it used to be, and it is really hard to say how much has changed.
The big guy can only be cautious, hurry up and do things, don't let the Son of Heaven catch the handle.
The courtiers were busy, and the Son of Heaven set targets for himself, and Xu Jingchang suddenly became relaxed.
Looking around the court, the most relaxed thing is his general secretary.
Obviously, some people are unwilling to let Xu Jingchang be idle, such as Zhu Zhanji.
"Uncle Cousin, you want to help me."
Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids and said helplessly: "What are you going to do?" Is it that you can't learn, or is the article out of the way? ”
Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "No, it was the imperial grandfather who asked me, as a grandson, what ability should I have to benefit the people?" ”
"And then?"
"Then I told the emperor's grandfather that I want to make meat available to the people."
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Yes, being able to eat meat is also the royal road of the prosperous world in the minds of the sages, this answer is very good." ”
"What a thing!" Zhu Zhanji cried, "I just said this, I thought that everything would be the emperor." But who knows, the imperial grandfather calculated an account with me. ”
Xu Jingchang was surprised, "Your Majesty will still settle accounts?" How did he calculate? ”
"The emperor said that the Ming Dynasty is registered and there are 60 million people, so that these 60 million people can eat meat, how can they raise millions of big fat dolphins, he said, let me start now, if I can't do it, I will ......"
"What?"
"Just find another imperial grandson." Zhu Zhanji looked at Xu Jingchang bitterly, "Uncle Cousin, you have to help me!" In my heart, you are my father! Our two have the deepest relationship......"
"That's it!"
Xu Jingchang hurriedly stopped Zhu Zhanji, but he couldn't let this kid talk nonsense.
"Let's analyze, to raise so many dolphins, you have to have a place, but also to use artificial and forage...... I guess you can't even raise a thousand, no fun! ”
Zhu Zhanji grinned, "Uncle Cousin, you can't see death without saving it, Uncle Cousin, I'll point at you!" ”
"Alright, stop arguing."
Xu Jingchang said: "You have to use your brain, I have been teaching you for so many years, and you still don't grow." Your Majesty wants the common people to eat more meat, and he didn't say what kind of meat it is, so this standard is not in our hands. ”
Zhu Zhanji was dumbfounded and looked at Xu Jingchang, "No...... Uncle cousin, how can you tell the difference between meat? Pork ribs, pork belly? ”
"Confused!" Xu Jingchang said: "Let me ask you, is fish considered meat?" ”
Zhu Zhanji's eyes widened and he thought for a while, "It should be counted, right?" ”
"What about chickens and ducks? Does it count? ”
"It should be counted too."
"What about eggs and duck eggs?"
"Sort of."
"What about vegetarian chicken and vegetarian meat?"
"Count...... Not counts! Zhu Zhanji hurriedly shook his head, "Uncle Cousin, don't go too far!" If vegetarian chicken is also chicken, then soy sauce is also oil. You're reversing black and white! ”
Xu Jingchang's old face was slightly red, "Vegetarian chicken doesn't count, the first few things count...... We need to work on it now, first of all, you have to figure out which meat has the highest yield. ”
"Meat yield?" Zhu Zhanji said curiously: "After killing, see how much meat can be produced?"
"It's just one aspect, it depends on how much feed is fed and how long it can be slaughtered." Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "As long as Your Highness can study and understand these things, it is enough to explain to Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Zhanji nodded again and again, "Uncle Cousin, are you familiar with it?" ”
Xu Jingchang said: "I can't talk about it, I just raised cramming, you know this!" ”
Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Cousin, you are too insidious!" ”
Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes angrily, this rabbit cub is really not good, I shouldn't fucking care about you, it's best to let Zhu Di abolish you!
Zhu Zhanji doesn't care about anything, let's do it quickly.
He directly requisitioned a manor outside the city.
As far as the eye can see, many moon seasons and camellia have been planted, and the blooming purple and red are very good-looking.
However, as soon as Zhu Zhanji came, he said directly: "I have shoveled it all, and I won't leave a single plant!" ”
The person in charge of the operation was frightened, "Your Highness, this is planted by the crown princess, and in a few days, I will go down with His Highness to enjoy the flowers!" ”
"It turned out to be my mother? Even what! Heaven is not allowed to do these bells and whistles, all of them are shoveled for me, rest assured, what I do, my mother absolutely likes. ”
Zhu Zhanji forced these people to shovel all the flowers in their eyes...... I have to say, what a dutiful son.
Then Zhu Zhanji ordered to invite the craftsmen who bred and stuffed ducks in Xufu to come over, and they were busy in this royal manor.
And on this day, the crown princess Zhang invited Queen Xu to come outside the city to enjoy the flowers, and Queen Xu called Huang Yunfang again, and even Xu Xianzhong came out.
The little guy was chubby, with a big head, just like a two-headed toy, Queen Xu was reluctant to let go of Xu Xianzhong.
"Hurry up and grow up, when you grow up, you will be able to assist your grandson, our Zhu Xu family, from generation to generation, support each other, father for the rest of his life, that's the best."
Xu Xianzhong obviously didn't understand this, his black eyes were rolling around, and he suddenly saw a group of big geese in the distance, this kid was in good spirits.
In Queen Xu's arms, she tried her best to chrysalis, "Catch, I want to catch!" ”
Queen Xu had to let go, Xu Xianzhong landed on his legs, and pounced on him with a scream.
The big goose can be called a bully-level existence, and it is a nightmare for children, but it is obvious that Xu Xiaozi is not among them...... When he could leave, he chased the peacock, and now he chases the goose, let alone the goose.
There was also a large male goose that stretched out his neck and hissed, obviously unconvinced.
Just when the goose lowered its head and stretched its neck to pounce, before it knew what was going on, it was grabbed by the throat, and then flung it hard, and the goose fell out.
After getting up, I was dizzy, and my confused eyes seemed to ask who I was, where I am, what the hell am I!
Xu Xianzhong was even more excited, and bravely rushed forward with the pace of chasing the dead to the north...... Everywhere I went, it perfectly interpreted what it means to be restless.
Queen Xu is quite appreciative, this kid is a little interesting!
It's just that the crown princess Zhang's face on the side is dark, what's going on?
I'm not in the wrong place, am I?
What about those camellias of mine?
And the moon season, peony, where are they gone?
At this time, Zhu Zhanji came out of it, there was still sweat on his forehead, and there was next to his satin boots, and he was panting.
"What are you doing?" Zhang asked.
"No, no, I just raised some poultry and livestock." Zhu Zhanji replied obediently.
"What about the flowers I planted? Where have they gone? Did you throw it away? ”
"How could it be! I'm not going to waste anything. Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "I put those flowers, branches and leaves, and put them in the pond to make fertilizer." ”
"Manure?" Zhang didn't understand yet.
"It's piled up with the feces of chickens, ducks and geese, and after a while, it can be sprinkled in the ground, and the grain that grows can be used as feed to feed more chickens and ducks...... Mother, do you think I'm smart? Zhu Zhanji introduced happily.
Where did I notice that Zhang's was furious, she worked hard, and the flowers that were easy to plant were all caused by this rebel.
"Zhu Zhanji, you, you burn the qin and cook the crane, you are so annoying!"
said that Zhang pounced and was about to beat Zhu Zhanji...... Zhu Zhanji was so frightened that he hurriedly ran away, he knew that the old lady couldn't commit the crime, so he circled around Queen Xu.
"Mother, you can't beat me, this is all done by the emperor's grandfather, he asked me to do something for the benefit of the country and the people, and if I don't do it, I will dismiss my prince...... I can't be a prince, and you can't be a queen mother, child, this is for your good! ”
"You are talking nonsense...... Even if I abolish your unfilial thing, I still have several sons! "Zhang is really angry, and he can't choose to speak.
Empress Xu saw it in her eyes, so she had no choice but to wave her hand and stop them.
"Don't make any noise, Zhu Zhanji, what are you tossing so blindly?"
Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "Imperial grandmother, you are wrong. I'm not just tossing, I'm tossing out of the doorway. ”
"What doorway?"
"I've found that it's easier for poultry to grow meat with the same feed, and the slowest to grow meat is the cow. The fastest growing meat is the chicken. ”
Empress Xu was puzzled, "What is this?" ”
"Imperial grandmother, you still don't understand such a big discovery!" Zhu Zhanji said triumphantly: "This means that if you raise chickens, you can use the same feed to get more meat...... You know, Meng Fuzi said that the common people eat meat in fifty clothes, but he didn't say anything meat, chicken is also meat! ”
"I also plan to dig a fish pond, get some more fish and put it in, and see if the fish grow fast and the meat is ......fast," Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "If I research it, how can I let the people eat more meat, am I considered the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch?" ”
The Zhang family was angry and glared at Zhu Zhanji viciously, "What Ming Monarch Holy Lord?" Burning the qin and boiling the crane, you are the same faint king. ”
Zhu Zhanji flattened his mouth and didn't quarrel with the angry old lady.
It was Empress Xu, she thought about it seriously, and then asked, "Grandson, are you really sure about this matter?" ”
"Nope!" Zhu Zhanji said honestly: "I have spent all the money in my hand, and I need a lot of money to study such a big thing, unless I can let my father give me my New Year's money." ”
Empress Xu smiled, "It's just a lot of New Year's money, if you can do this well, I'll give you money." ”
"Grandmother is willing to give money?"
"Hmm!" Empress Xu smiled: "Since it is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, I can't turn a blind eye." In this way, I'll give you 200,000 taels first, do you see enough? ”
Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, and then said: "The initial investment is almost over, and I don't know how much it will cost later." ”
Empress Xu smiled: "No matter how much, just look for me." ”
Zhu Zhanji happily agreed.
Zhang looked at Queen Xu, aggrieved, "Queen Mother, don't get used to this kid, he is tossing blindly." ”
Empress Xu shook her head, and at this moment, Xu Xianzhong dragged a goose about the same size as him and ran over. The little guy grabbed the goose's neck and yelled as he ran, "Stew, stew and eat!" ”
When he ran in front of everyone, the goose's neck had already shown a strange angle, and this ten-pound goose was not far from death. Huang Yunfang saw it in her eyes, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get in...... Son, don't embarrass your father!
But Queen Xu was quite satisfied.
"Good boy, what a warrior!" Empress Xu glared at Zhu Zhanji, "Why don't you go and stew the goose quickly, you can listen, serve us well, and then you can get the money, otherwise I won't give it to you in vain." ”
