In the following time, Zhu Biao began to check the account books of each workshop to understand the deeper operation.

Even under the explanations of Zhu Jingjing and Zhang Yifan, it took him five days to understand everything.

Putting down these things, sitting on a recliner under the shade of a tree, drinking tea and chatting, Zhu Biao began to sigh: "This trip to Xiangshan County is really eye-opening, and it is worth it!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Yifan and said very sincerely: "Yifan, you, you are my God of Wealth in the Ming Dynasty!" This ability to make money is really unmatched by no one in the past dynasties! ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he didn't agree in his heart, no matter how much money he came, no old man would get money quickly with a butcher's knife in one fell swoop!

Of course, he actually knew that Zhu Biao meant under normal circumstances, so he just smiled slightly, and he was not modest.

After all, this achievement of Xiangshan County is the result of Zhang Yifan's use of the experience of later generations, that is, standing on the shoulders of countless people. If you can't surprise the people of this era, it would be a failure.

Zhu Biao is here, but he is still sighing: "If all counties in the country can be like Xiangshan County, my Ming wealth will really be spent on flowers!" ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Fang Xiaoru on the opposite side and asked, "If you are asked to be a county magistrate, are you sure that you can do something like Xiangshan County?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Fang Xiaoru immediately blushed.

As soon as Zhu Biao saw it, he knew the answer, so he asked in a different way: "You just learn from Xiangshan County like this, how about it?" ”

Fang Xiaoru listened, the red on his face did not retreat, and he replied honestly: "Your Highness, the lower officials may make some achievements, but if you want to be as rich as Xiangshan County, full of expectations, the lower officials feel that it is really difficult, I am afraid that they will not be able to do it!" ”

Zhang Yifan listened, smiled and interjected: "Indeed, it is basically impossible for others to do something like Xiangshan County!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Fang Xiaoru's face turned even redder.

Zhu Biao smiled, pointed at Zhang Yifan and said, "You are not modest!" ”

"I'm just telling the truth!" Zhang Yifan listened to it and immediately explained, "Because I am a colt and have the strong support of my father, I have set up a special zone to do these special things, and there are no local constraints. But even so, when I first took the first step, the method of returning grain land to the public, I still encountered huge resistance. If this is changed by someone else, this kind of resistance will not be able to stop at all, and the first step will not be successful! ”

The others were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect the colt to really tell the truth, and it really made sense.

Zhang Yifan, on his side, continued to explain: "My identity as a colt and the support of my father also allow me to do things with half the effort. It's just a money bank, and if someone else runs it, just to build up its reputation, it will not be able to do it for a while, and we must be more careful of some people with ill intentions, such as those who originally put usury in the local Haoqiang, will definitely be unwilling to make trouble. If nothing else, as long as you deposit a large amount of money in the bank, and when you lend out the money, he will come and ask for all the withdrawal, and the bank will be legally confiscated......"

The smile on Zhu Biao's face slowly disappeared. When he heard Zhang Yifan say that behind everything, there is actually a not simple side, he also realized that if he wants to do things well and do things that are beneficial to the people, he will inevitably conflict with some vested interests, and there will be twists and turns, and even premature death.

It's not easy to do things!

Zhang Yifan said as he spoke, and when he saw that the expressions of several of them became serious, he put away his words and said: "Of course, as long as the imperial court supports these innovations unwaveringly, even if you don't have the identity of a concubine, you can still do some things." Even if you do one thing well, it can help people improve their lives! In short, if there is a problem to solve the problem, as an official, you can't be afraid of problems! ”

"What the colt said is very true!" When Fang Xiaoru heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but stand up and said solemnly to Zhang Yifan.

Zhang Yifan didn't expect him to be so solemn, so he hurriedly said to him: "It's just a family, everyone has their own way of doing things." Maybe if you come to make this prefectural order, you also have your solution. I'm just doing it because I'm a colt, so it's just a little rude! ”

When Song Lian heard this, he opened his mouth and continued: "The colt is really too modest. The lower officials don't pay attention to anything else, it's just the cultural governance of Xiangshan County, and it is not something that ordinary people can do. Xia Guan asked, before the horses came, there was no bookstore in Xiangshan County, let alone a place to print books. But now, Xia Guan has seen it, and there are as many as three large bookstores alone, and there are many kinds of books in them. There is also a library that belongs to the county government, which can be open to the people and can be borrowed at any time, and I don't know how much literary style it can bring. There is no such thing in Jingshi, and it is really a great merit! ”

He was a great writer at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and what he cared about most was this content. In the past few days in Xiangshan County, he has focused on these, which makes him very emotional. Especially in the library cabinet, the author of some books, he actually found out that it was the horse himself, and the knowledge on it, he looked like miscellaneous science, but it could be used in reality, and it was very useful.

Seriously, Song Lian actually wants to occupy the horse and talk to him about these things in literature. It's just a pity that the prince is here, he can't rob the prince, so he can only give up.

Regarding Song Lian's praise, Zhang Yifan was not modest. The literary style and fame of Xiangshan County have spread in Guangdong, and many students from all over the world have come to Xiangshan County to see the situation. Even those from other provinces have heard from their subordinates that they come here.

At this time, several people were drinking tea and chatting, in fact, it was a few of them who praised Xiangshan County from different directions, and it was also thanks to Lan Yu that he had already returned to Guangzhou, otherwise, maybe there would be one more.

Afterwards, Song Lian said with a smile: "It's rare to come to Xiangshan County once, and the lower officials have to hurry up and take a look." ”

Fang Xiaoru listened, and also followed his mentor to get up and say goodbye.

In the past, most of the time was with the prince. Now that the prince has come a round, they want to go for a walk on their own.

As soon as they left, after chatting for a while, Zhu Biao's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked Zhang Yifan: "Yifan, you also said a lot of difficulties just now, and I think that there are indeed such and such problems." If your father decides to promote these practices throughout the world in the future, what do you think can be done to reduce some of the resistance and allow these new policies to be implemented smoothly? ”

Speaking of which, because there were only Mao Xiang and other guards on the side, and there were no outsiders, he added: "Do you really want to ...... Kill a group of vested interests and deter the rest, so that it can be convenient to implement the new deal? ”

"......" Zhang Yifan was speechless when he heard it, it is really worthy of being taught by Zhu Yuanzhang, even if the world praises the benevolent prince, he actually has the courage to do this!

When he came back to his senses, Zhang Yifan said with a smile: "That's not necessary, having money to earn together is the real royal way." For example, the Ming Dynasty is strong and the people are rich, which is the royal road. The vast majority of people can benefit from the new policy, and the new policy will be easy to promote and implement. Otherwise, it's harder! ”

This topic has actually been mentioned in the previous letters, but it has not been elaborated on.

When Zhu Biao heard this, he immediately showed a very interested look, looked at Zhang Yifan and said, "You can talk about it!" ”

Zhang Yifan listened, put the teacup in his hand on the coffee table, looked at Zhu Biao, and said seriously: "Let's take Qianzhuang as an example!" Theoretically, to be able to cope with all kinds of runs, it is to withdraw money. In this way, one of the basic conditions of the money bank is to have enough principal......"

In the past, Zhu Biao checked all kinds of accounting data and checked the operation of various workshops, and he had already explained to Zhu Biao that the money village was the core, driving the economic development of Xiangshan County.

Therefore, when he used Qian Zhuang as an example, Zhu Biao listened very carefully.

"I had 10,000 yuan as the principal at the time, and in fact, if I had changed it somewhere else, it could have been more. It is to let those strong and strong also invest money to open this money as the principal. As long as I make sure that I have the most money, then I am the biggest in this bank, and I have the final say. Those who have invested money, if they can't stop it or it is too difficult to block, they will not be too resistant to obtaining the benefits of the money bank through dividends, that is, they will share the profits according to how much they pay. ”

"Even because this is official, the scale is larger and other factors, maybe it will be more profitable than them lending privately, then they will support this money bank more!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "Yes, this is the truth, since you can make more money in this way, you will object if you have something wrong with your brain!" ”

"This is an example of the benefits of peace and zeal!" Zhang Yifan listened and continued to explain, "In the court, you can absorb the money of those nobles, so that their interests are completely consistent with the interests of the imperial court, at least most of them are the same, then they will not oppose the new policy of the imperial court!" ”

Zhu Biao was happy to hear this, and after asking some more questions about this question, he suddenly thought of something, and ordered Mao Xiang to them: "You guys go down first!" ”

He is the crown prince, and there is no need to explain why.

As soon as Mao Xiang heard this, he knew that the prince was going to say something inconvenient for them to hear, so he immediately retreated with his guards.

They know one of the most basic principles: curiosity kills cats, and if you don't hear what you shouldn't, you must not listen.

As soon as they left, Zhu Biao looked at Zhang Yifan, who went to drink tea again, and said: "My father has always had a big opinion on the prime minister, and he has not released it. You say, what common interests can there be between the prime minister and the emperor to resolve this conflict? ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he thought in his heart, no wonder, Zhu Biao wanted to let Mao Xiang and them all avoid it, it turned out that he wanted to say this.

After thinking about it, he didn't answer and asked, "Big brother, what is the conflict between the father and the prime minister?" ”

Zhu Biao listened, was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it seriously, he replied with a solemn face: "From what I can see, it should be that the prime minister is in charge of many things privately, and he has not asked his father. However, logically speaking, the prime minister cannot be mistaken in doing this, because he has the power to do so. But my father was not satisfied with this. ”

"Of course, there is no explicit rule on what the prime minister can handle by himself, and what the prime minister should consult the emperor. Sometimes, the prime minister thinks that he can handle this matter himself, so he does not tell his father, but when his father finds out, he is not happy, and he thinks that the prime minister should tell him about this matter. ”

"Something like that, as far as I know, has happened more than once or twice. Sometimes, my father went to ask, and the prime minister still had a lot of words! ”

Zhu Biao said this, paused, and after a little consideration, he continued: "In addition, my father mentioned to me that the prime minister still uses this power to do some illegal things in private. It's just that they are still within the tolerance range of their father, so they don't get angry. But I can see that sooner or later, my father will be angry. ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he asked Zhu Biaodao: "Since this is the case, what is there to say, is it okay to directly remove him from his post or punish him?" ”

"Yikes!" When Zhu Biao heard this, he felt a little helpless, or he didn't know how to say it, and after sighing, he continued, "You don't know, the prime minister has a good relationship with many heroes, and even has a marriage with the Korean princess. On your side, the previous Yongjiahou Zhu Liangzu also had a good relationship with the prime minister. If his father wants to punish him, it is not very easy to start. ”

Zhu Biao was afraid that Zhang Yifan didn't know much about fighting in the court, so he explained to him again: "After all, my father is dissatisfied with the prime minister, mainly because he handled some things privately. But these things, if they are said publicly, the prime minister may also have his reasons. The father and the emperor will deal with him with these things, and others will not accept it. ”

"Taking a step back, if someone else is the prime minister, there will still be contradictions like this. The prime minister decided to do something privately, and if he didn't tell the emperor, the emperor might also be hidden. The prime minister has the right to decide, and he will listen to it if he doesn't see the jade seal after the seal is issued......"

Listening to Zhu Biao talking endlessly, in fact, Zhang Yifan knew very well in his heart that it was not a conflict between the power and the imperial power!

met a powerful emperor, and it happened that the prime minister also liked power, and the conflict became intense.

Zhang Yifan estimated that his father-in-law also took into account the aftermath, and changed the emperor who was not as wise and martial as him, if the prime minister was powerful, he might be able to do what Yihuo did, which was definitely not something that the father-in-law could allow.

And this is estimated to be the real reason for the outbreak of the Hu Weiyong case in the original history.

Zhu Yuanzhang used the excuse that Hu Weiyong wanted to rebel, this is the crime of the Jiu clan, it has been like this in all dynasties, there is no need to discuss, and Hu Weiyong and other people who Zhu Yuanzhang does not like at once, those who feel threatened and can be implicated, will be killed together.

When he was thinking about it, he heard that Zhu Biao had already said about it, and asked him worriedly: "You say, can you find out what common interests and the like to resolve this problem?" ”

Zhang Yifan listened, pretended to ponder for a while, and then looked at Zhu Biao with a serious expression and asked, "Big brother, do you want me to tell the truth?" ”

When Zhu Biao heard this, he said without thinking: "Isn't that nonsense?" Otherwise, what did I just say so much? ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he replied seriously: "Big brother, according to your statement, I think the current relationship between the prime minister and the imperial power is not satisfactory to my father. In this case, since the power of the prime minister is given by the emperor, it is natural that the power of the power can also be withdrawn or re-given! ”

Speaking of this, he reminded Zhu Biaodao: "Didn't my father just set up the General Administration Department? This is equivalent to dividing a part of the power of Zhongshu Province. If the father is still not satisfied, and feels that the prime minister may be deceived and concealed, or the family is dominant, he can continue to divide the power of the prime minister, or even simply, set up more prime ministers, and many people share this prime minister, as long as it is not stipulated that a certain prime minister is the largest, then isn't it okay? ”

In the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty, the first assistant is actually just a statement, not that the first assistant is the largest, and other auxiliary ministers must listen to the first assistant.

As long as the emperor is willing, he can consult with any auxiliary minister to discuss political affairs, and even designate this auxiliary minister to do something. There is no affiliation between the chief assistant and the auxiliary minister.

However, in most cases, because the first assistant is the oldest auxiliary minister in the cabinet, and the cabinet members must all be the emperor's trusted auxiliary ministers, relatively speaking, the emperor consults the first assistant more, which makes the first assistant more important.

The fact that the first assistant is superior to other cabinet assistants is actually from the Jiajing Dynasty and reached its peak when Zhang Juzheng became the first assistant in the Wanli period.

At this time, Zhu Biao heard Zhang Yifan's words and nodded slightly, because the General Administration Department had indeed been established.

Suddenly, he suddenly thought of Zhang Yifan's curtain guest system, and then thought about Zhang Yifan's suggestion just now, and with a flash of inspiration, he showed excitement, and said to Zhang Yifan: "If the power of the prime minister is the same as the power of you, the curtain guest, then the father will probably rest assured!" ”

"Oh?" When Zhang Yifan heard this, he secretly praised his cleverness in his heart, but on the surface, he still asked a little puzzled, "Really?" ”

Zhu Biao seemed to have grasped the point, and said with a little excitement: "I want to think about it, think about it again, is it ......?"

After muttering for a while, he looked at Zhang Yifan again and said in an affirmative tone: "I think it's okay, my father will like it, my father will definitely like it!" ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he smiled with relief in his heart, the eldest brother's understanding is good. This method is far better for the prince to tell his father-in-law than to talk to him and his father-in-law.

In this way, it can be regarded as a solution to the conflict between the prime minister and the imperial power; Then, that classmate Hu Weiyong wants to die, because it does not involve a threat to the imperial power, the old man is estimated not to kill a large number of people, and kill a large number of people.

He was thinking about it, and saw that Zhu Biao was still talking according to his own train of thought: "If you want to be the prime minister, you must be highly respected and talented, and your talent is not inferior to Hu Weiyong." Wei Guogong conquered Tibet, and won great victories one after another, and if the class teacher returned to the court, it would be enough to make him the prime minister......"

Zhang Yifan listened, and his mind passed, Wei Guogong, Deng Yu, and conquered Tubo......

Suddenly, something occurred to him.
