At this time, Zhang Yifan, who wrote this book, came over, and Song Lian's master and apprentice didn't have to argue, so they asked Zhang Yifan directly.

So, under the watchful eye of Zhu Biao, Zhang Yifan explained to Song Lian's master and apprentice again, and even started writing and painting on the spot.

There is a fly in the ointment that Zhang Yifan is very awkward to use a brush to calculate.

Fortunately, they all know that the horse has only been enlightened for less than two years, and it is not surprising that the calligraphy is poorly written.

After the explanation was completed, Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but sigh: "Donkey, how do you know these laws?" ”

This is what the Confucian sages advocated. However, it is really not an easy thing to make one, two, three.

However, this kind of difficult thing seems to have become as common as eating and drinking when it comes to the colt! This made Fang Xiaoru, who is known as a prodigy, couldn't help but admire him.

Zhang Yifan listened, just smiled and said: "I don't know, I just look at it, and I feel like this in my mind!" ”

Fang Xiaoru: "......"

Song Lian: "......"

Zhu Biao: "......"

Well, that's true genius!

A few of them, on the side of the library, stayed for almost a day.

Zhu Biao now has a habit of waiting for the evening, and when he starts to write things behind closed doors, he writes down his gains today.

He has been in Xiangshan County for almost ten days, and he has indeed learned about Xiangshan County.

Originally, he planned to return to Jingshi. However, under the persuasion of Zhang Yifan, Zhu Jingjing and the crown princess, they were ready to rest for two days and have a so-called combination of work and rest. When I got to Jingshi, I didn't have this life.

Zhang Yifan also had an excuse not to deal with official business, and accompanied Zhu Biao to rest for a few days, but he was careless, and he really learned to swim.

Just when Zhu Biao was preparing to return to Beijing, the fleet sent to Nanyang at the beginning of the year returned.

The main purpose of this fleet to Nanyang was to inspect the agricultural situation there and see if Nanyang could become the granary of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Zhu Biao was also very concerned, so he went to listen to the report with Zhang Yifan.

The results of the survey showed that Nanyang was indeed rich in products, but the locals were lazy, the kind that could only be eaten, and the level of cultivation was backward. If you can farm like the people of the Ming Dynasty, then there will definitely be a lot of food.

When Zhu Biao heard this, he said to Zhang Yifan: "In this case, then I will go back and talk to my father and let them pay more tribute." ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he hurriedly said: "If you pay tribute, it's not cost-effective. Do you think it's okay to let go of the trade with Nanyang, and if we bring grain from Nanyang, we can collect less tax or no tax, and sell them porcelain, tea, and other things? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang has a problem, he uses some interpersonal relationships between countries, for example, good face, the Celestial Empire, the vassal state pays tribute, he has to pay back several times the gift, so that the vassal country comes to pay tribute once, and earns it once.

By the end of this Hongwu decade, many countries in Nanyang, including Annam, had established tributary relations with the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhang Yifan doesn't want to use the way of tribute, so he might as well do business, and he can make money in Nanyang!

Zhu Biao was very satisfied with everything he saw in Xiangshan County, and when he heard what he said, he said to him: "Actually, didn't my father allow you to do special things in Xiangshan County?" In this case, if you want to do business with Nanyang, you can naturally do it. You can try to see, and the emperor will definitely not stop it. ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he immediately agreed: "That's okay, I'll do this thing!" ”

Subsequently, Zhu Biao stayed in Xiangshan County for more than 20 days, and when the time came to the beginning of October in the tenth year of Hongwu, he set off to return to Beijing.

At this time, basically the matter of the prince coming to Xiangshan to visit relatives has finally spread quietly.

Therefore, when Zhu Biao left, the people who came to see him off were crowded.

People here in Lingnan may only have such a chance in their lives to see with their own eyes what the prince looks like, this is the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

In addition, when the prince came to Xiangshan County, he didn't change anything at all, and he didn't even publicize this matter publicly, which from a certain point of view, it affirmed everything about the horse in Xiangshan County, which made the people in Lingnan even more optimistic about the future of Xiangshan County.

Dongguan He family, in fact, when Zhu Biao first came, he knew the news of the prince's arrival, and he had been secretly observing it for a long time.

Now, the prince is gone, nothing has changed, that is, the dust has settled, indicating that the prince recognizes everything in Xiangshan County.

So, He Zhen spoke and said to his sons: "I have always taught you that in order to deal with the world, you must judge the situation and protect yourself, and even take advantage of the situation to go further." ”

As he said this, he had a serious expression on his face, staring into the eyes of his sons, making sure that he was speaking correctly and that no son was perfunctory.

"Now, no matter what the battle in the court is, the emperor is definitely the dominant side, and the crown prince is the future emperor. I am already old, and in the future, your generation must also make a difference when the crown prince becomes the emperor, so as to ensure the prosperity of our He family. And now, the horse is very valued by the prince. Therefore, it is necessary for our He family's attitude to change. ”

The He family grew up in the hands of He Zhen, and his words, in this family, are true. Not to mention, he usually places great emphasis on the subordination of father and son, master and servant.

Therefore, even if his sons did not approve of his words, none of them dared to oppose them.

At this time, I heard He Zhen speaking there alone: "When I turn back, I will write a book and make it clear to the emperor that Gui'er will go to the East Palace to serve his life, and I believe that the emperor will definitely be happy with our He family's statement." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at his eldest son He Rong and said, "As for you, you must go to contact the horse, have a good relationship with the horse, and support everything in Xiangshan County." ”

"Stick it up at this point?" He Rong listened and couldn't help but question.

When He Zhen heard this, he sighed and said: "Indeed, sticking it at this time is actually the icing on the cake, and the colt may not care much." If you clearly stand in line when the colt first came, and even help him clean up the original history and deal with those pirates, it will be a charcoal in the snow, and the relationship with the colt will not be the same! ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head again, revealing a wry smile and said: "But who would have known that the horse has such a ability at such a young age, otherwise, he would not have missed the opportunity to send charcoal in the snow!" ”

When He Rong heard this, he was a little unwilling, and asked He Zhendao: "Dad, that means that the things that the horses did in Xiangshan County, such as the law of returning grain fields to the public, and the monopoly of the salt government or something, will be used in other places?" ”

He Zhen knew that when his son said this, he was unwilling to lose his family. So, he said with a serious face: "Today's emperor is not an ordinary emperor, even in history, an emperor with this ability is absolutely rare." Once he decides that the matter of the horse is indeed beneficial to the Zhu family's world, whoever dares to stop it will definitely not end well! ”

Speaking of this, he gave an example: "Yongjiahou is an example, the prince came to Xiangshan County, and he also used the name of his relatives in a low-key manner, and when he left, he could see that he had a good relationship with the concubine. In this way, it can basically be confirmed that the emperor and the crown prince are satisfied with what the concubine has done in Xiangshan County. No matter how bad it is, you take a step back and think about it......"

He Zhen pointed to his son and said: "You yourself take the position of the emperor, don't look at everything in Xiangshan County from the perspective of You He Rong, do you also think that the horse is doing a good job?" What Xiangshan County was like in the past, you must have a number, and what Xiangshan County is like now, this is also obvious to all! ”

When He Rong heard this, he tried to let go of the prejudice in his heart and do what his father said, and suddenly, his face changed.

Seeing this, He Zhen said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that at a young age, it only took more than a year to govern Xiangshan County so well, and there have never been such accomplished talents in all dynasties!" What a famous minister, when he comes to the horse, he must be ashamed. ”

He is well-read, well-versed in the past and the present, and he can't think of a famous minister in history who can do such a horse!

After sighing for a while again, his expression became serious, he looked at his sons, especially the two most promising sons, and said: "The horse has the achievements of Xiangshan County, and in the future in the Hongwu Dynasty, even after the prince ascends the throne in the future, and even if he lives longer, after the prince's prince ascends the throne, he will have a weighty position in the court." ”

"Let's just say that this Hongwu Dynasty, in the past, some people may think that the horse is young, hairless on the mouth, and cannot handle things firmly. No matter how reasonable he is, there may be people who won't take his words seriously. However, when he went back after three years, he said that absolutely no one dared to despise or ignore it! ”

After saying so much in one breath, He Zhen said bitterly: "The future of the colt, as long as he doesn't make big mistakes, the future is limitless." So, let go of your previous preconceptions. Just those grain fields, don't take it to heart, don't worry too much about the temporary loss, and hand over the horses, you can get back greater benefits. It is absolutely unwise to continue to look at the colt unpleasantly, and it is absolutely unwise to do it against him, and he may even end up with a ruined family. I've said so much, it should be clear enough, do you remember it? ”

He Rong, He Gui and the others looked at each other, and finally agreed to listen to their father's teachings.

Among them, He Rong, as the eldest son, asked He Zhendao: "Dad, then what should we do next to make good friends with the horses?" ”

He Zhen obviously thought about this question, so he immediately replied: "Now it's just icing on the cake, and the effect is half the effort, but you have to do it." Let's go to Xiangshan County to see what the horse wants to do and what he lacks, within our ability, we will try to satisfy him, I hope to enter his eyes, and give our He family a chance! ”

The so-called ginger is old and spicy, if it is to be replaced by ordinary people, Zhang Yifan and the He family have such a big conflict of interest, it must be dead.

However, He Zhen was able to adjust his countermeasures in time, and immediately changed his attitude when he saw that something could not be done, I have to say that he is worthy of being a man with the strength to be the king of Lingnan!

is just born at the wrong time, and in the troubled times, Zhu Yuanzhang, who is more powerful than him, has risen, so that he has to judge the situation and surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang.

……………………

Zhang Yifan's side naturally didn't know about the change in the attitude of the He family. At this time, after sending Zhu Biao away, he began to set up research groups in various workshops.

Moreover, he felt that the name of the workshop was too stingy, so he thought of changing the name.

At the beginning, he thought of Zhu Di's classmate East Factory, and he wanted to change the names of several of his government-run enterprises to East Factory, West Factory, South Factory, and North Factory, so that Zhu Di had no name available.

However, after all, this was just a thought, and in the end, he decided to change the name of the cement workshop to the Xiangshan County Government-owned Cement Factory, which was divided into departments, namely the production department, the purchasing department, the research department and the sales department. To establish a trademark for a product, it is to mark the word "incense" on all goods.

The research department mainly studies the improvement of cement firing, especially the trial production of different formulations.

The fish floss workshop was changed to Xiangshan County government-owned fish floss factory, and the research department, production department and other departments were also set up internally. The research department mainly studies the recipes and practices of different fish species and different flavors. Increase the diversity of fish floss.

In addition, Zhang Yifan separated the fishing fleet from the Yufsong Factory and established the Xiangshan County Government-owned Shipyard. This shipyard is divided into fishing, sales, and fleet repair and repair departments.

The engineering construction team was renamed as the Xiangshan County Government-owned Wholly Owned Engineering Construction Team, which was divided into the Housing Construction Department, the Water Conservancy Bridge Construction Department and the Research Department according to different directions.

Among them, this research department is naturally studying how to build buildings, build bridges and pave roads, and so on.

Qianzhuang and Xiangshanju, as well as the rental house, have not changed, and will remain the same for the time being.

In addition, according to Zhang Yifan's initial promise, the Xiangshan County Agricultural Research Institute was established to recruit talents to conduct research on crop planting and poultry breeding on the basis of the agricultural experience collected from the previous reward.

This is easier said than done.

First of all, it is talents, and Zhang Yifan lacks talents in this area. Although he offered a high price, there are still very few talents who can satisfy him.

In the end, Zhang Yifan had to go into battle in person and spend more of his efforts on the Agricultural Research Institute, such as introducing some breeding experience in later generations and concepts such as circular economy, so that they could do what he said.

However, in the short term, all the research of the factory, including the research of the Agricultural Research Institute, is a money-burning business. There are only inputs and no outputs.

For this reason, Zhang Yifan had to start opening a new factory to make money, that is, he had promised in advance to buy sugarcane, and it was already in the late autumn season, and it should be put on the agenda.

While Zhang Yifan was busy with these things, the crown prince Zhu Biao went all the way north and finally returned to Beijing safely.

This time, it took Zhu Biao almost three months to go south to save his relatives, including what was consumed on the road.

By the time he returned to Jingshi, it was already very cold.

Just as he arrived in Xiangshan County, as soon as he arrived in Beijing, he couldn't take a break and immediately went to find his father.
