Taifu Mansion.

Hu Hu was sitting in front of the stove and reading a book.

It is a unique book copied from the palace, and I read it with relish.

Since the opening of the palace collection.

People from all over the world gathered in Beijing to go to the Tantai Library to copy books.

Because there were too many people copying books, the library set a time, hung up the books, and let the literati copy them, and the eunuchs were responsible for turning the pages.

No one is allowed to touch it with his hands, let alone damage it.

is so strict, but it has been praised by the literati, and if the eunuch turns the book roughly, he will be scolded by the literati.

And copying books has formed an industry in Beijing.

Some people rely on first-hand transcription of books to sell them at high prices and make a difference; There are also people who sell their wrists and make money by copying books for people; There are also merchants who have engraved them and sold them to other provinces.

All of a sudden, the literati of Jingshi were boiling.

Emperor Jingtai, who had a very poor reputation in the eyes of the literati, actually had a reversed tone, and some literati wrote articles and newspapers to praise the emperor, and the admirers did not know how many.

Eight years ago in Jingtai, Zhu Qiyu received a lot of praise.

But in the past eight years of Jingtai, he has been abused by people all over the world, and even some people have made villains, written Zhu Qiyu's name, pricked with silver needles every day, and the factory guards have cracked more than a dozen witch cases.

But because of the public collection of books, word of mouth rebounded.

Hu Hui is a great lover of books, in order to collect the collection of books, he opened a newspaper engraving factory, published and engraved by himself, and then selected the best collection, and read every day.

He shoveled the back garden of his home and built a library for books.

The youngest grandson, Hu Yifan, walked in quickly and saluted calmly: "Grandfather, the two Wang Pavilion elders ask to see you." ”

The eldest grandson, Hu Yiqian, worked as a guard in the palace.

The eldest son Hu Changning and the second son Hu Yu are not at home, and there are only one old and one young in the family.

"Please come in."

Hu Hu closed the book and carefully placed it on the desk.

Widening his eyes, he frightened Hu Yifan: "You skin monkey dare to read your grandfather's book on the side, and your grandfather hangs you up and beats you!" ”

"Grandfather, don't worry, your grandson will be very careful when he reads." Hu Yifan said with a smile.

Hu Yifan was precocious, and when he was three years old, he explained the meaning of the scriptures to him, and he was able to repeat it.

But in Hu Hui's eyes, he thinks that Hu Yifan is not a sign of longevity.

Moreover, people who are too smart will take shortcuts, easily go astray, and need to be taught harshly.

is like a beard, the capital of early wisdom, if you don't die early, you are a demon.

When he was sixty years old, he had a beard.

But he never doted on Hu Xuan, and was even extremely strict, just to make him guard against arrogance and rashness, and not to be clever. Even in his twenties, he was not allowed to be born, just to suppress him and hone him in order to shine.

He had four sons in his life, two of whom did not live to adulthood, one who was sick, and one who was precocious, and none of whom lived past the age of ten.

After discovering Hu Qian's early wisdom at random, he was worried and worried about his early death, but it was with special care that he painstakingly studied medical skills, and it was also a pity to save Hu Qi.

Just as he was thinking, the door curtain was opened, and Wang Hong and Wang Fu walked in.

After the pleasantries.

"Old lady, is Your Majesty rushing to rectify Ma Zheng?" Wang Hong wanted to enter the palace to advise, but was stopped by Wang Fu, so he came to visit Hu Hu and discuss with Hu Hui.

The servant brought the tea, and Hu Hu pursed his lips and was silent.

Wang Hong has a straightforward temperament and is good at poison schemes.

Just about to ask, Wang Fu said, "Didn't the old lady Fu Mo have other ideas?" ”

"Please use tea, this is the imperial tea given by the palace."

Hu Hu took a sip, chewed and said, "Both, do you know the deep meaning of Your Majesty's move?" ”

Wang Hong was stunned.

He glanced at Wang Fu.

Suddenly smiled bitterly: "Now the political situation is stormy. ”

"Your Majesty should be cautious in what you say and do, and not rashly make enemies."

"If Ma Zheng is investigated, I'm afraid it will be another major event that will shake the world."

"There are so many things to do this year, and it should be slowed down."

Hu Hu smiled and said nothing.

Wang Fu was surprised: "Your Majesty's move is to pave the way for Marven to ascend to Beijing?" ”

Wang Hong was stunned, where is this Ma Wensheng sacred?

In order to pave the way for him, the emperor actually rectified the entire Taifu Temple, and directly asked for money, but he didn't want his face.

"That's just one of them!"

Hu Hui put down the teaglass: "Have you seen Ma Wensheng's resume?" This man is very famous among the people......"

Wang Hong sneered, these are all the usual methods of officialdom.

Find something to make a name for yourself, and then find some stinky feet to brag about, and the good reputation will naturally come out, regular operation.

Make a name for yourself, don't stumble.

"No, His Majesty has written him three letters, one asking about the court; second, ask about military affairs; Three questions about people's livelihood. ”

His Majesty was praised for his answer, saying that he was a minister who ruled the world.

Hu Hu smiled and said, "Your Majesty's vision, will you question it?" ”

Not really.

Since Jingtai eight years ago, the people used by the emperor are all handsome talents.

Make the best use of people, which shows the emperor's vision of people.

"This Ma Wensheng, is he really that powerful?" Wang Fu was surprised.

Wang Hong disagreed: "Talents are sharpened." ”

"Even if you are a genius, you have to hone it slowly in the place."

"In ten or twenty years, we will enter the center step by step."

"Raising seedlings like Your Majesty will only make geniuses dusty."

This made Hu Hu and Wang Fu agree.

They have all been honed in many positions before they enter the center step by step.

Therefore, the old man is stable and has a high level of governance.

"But you can be in charge, you don't have to be in the center."

Hu Hu said with a smile: "The two, the Ming Dynasty is different from the past, Mobei is in hand, there is no need to raise horses in Huaisi, and even the horse breeding land can be left outside the customs......"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Hong said, "What if Mobei is lost?" Ma Zheng is not stopped? ”

"Yes, raising horses in Mobei has thousands of benefits, so there is no need to repeat them."

"But in case the horse land is lost."

"Da Ming can fall into passivity, when there is no horse available, where should Da Ming go?"

Wang Fu said seriously: "The lower official will enter the palace and advise Your Majesty!" ”

Because the emperor can listen to advice.

Therefore, they talked about the court situation generously, and even criticized the emperor, and the emperor would accept it calmly.

This is also the reason why there are many ministers today.

The emperor wants to be able to be a minister, and a capable minister is naturally like a carp crossing the river.

The emperor wants to be a faint king, so there are ministers everywhere.

"Elder Wang Ge, don't worry, listen to the old man."

Hu Hu said with a smile: "As long as Li Daitao's plan is completed, Mobei will be firmly controlled by the Ming Dynasty for thirty years, and it will not be lost." ”

"As long as Mobei can grow food, not to mention that it can support Gyeonggi, but to be self-sufficient, Mobei will always be in the hands of the Ming Dynasty."

"The northward movement of horse breeding is an inevitable result."

"Because, Your Majesty plans to start next year, to change the course of the Yellow River and cure the Yellow River once and for all!"

"It will take ten or even twenty years to return the Yellow River to its original waterways."

"Let the Yellow River become the mother river of the land of China again."

This news is too shocking.

Wang Hong and Wang Fu glanced at each other: "Your Majesty didn't say it in the court?" ”

"I haven't said it yet."

"Because I am waiting for the silver from Jiangxi, this money is used to repair the Yellow River."

Hu Hui said: "Your Majesty not only wants to repair the Yellow River, but also cure it radically!" Daji! ”

"It is also necessary to repair the country's waterways, connect the various water systems, clean up the silt, and increase the number of irrigation canals."

"Your Majesty plans to spend 30 years to throw in 200 million taels of silver to improve the water problem of the land in the world."

"And let the people not suffer from the floods again!"

Wang Hong and Wang Fu saw each other's excitement.

Cure the Yellow River once and for all!

How many officials can't even dream of something.

In the past, the Yellow River did not flood every year, let alone so cruelly to the people on both sides of the river.

But since the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River has become a flood beast, flooding every year, harming people every year.

It is said that Huaisi was originally the richest place in the world, but because of the diversion of the Yellow River, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River estuary overlapped, resulting in the land of the two Huaisi becoming an ocean.

When the water of the Yellow River recedes, the entire soil will be desertified, and the people will have to clean it up slowly, and when it is cleaned up, the Yellow River will flood again, year after year.

Hundreds of years have passed, the rulers have chosen to ignore it, hundreds of officials have sung praises of virtue, and with a stroke of the pen in the history books, the prosperous era has come.

But no one looked at the people, and they lived worse than dogs.

The reason why the emperor hated the Song Dynasty was because of the diversion of the Yellow River, and the culprit was the Song Dynasty!

"Your Majesty is really willing to take out 200 million taels of silver to control the water?" Wang Hong was visibly trembling.

Hu Hu nodded: "The people on both sides of the Yellow River are suffering, there have been 77 floods this year, and there are countless dead, Your Majesty can't bear to read it suddenly." ”

"The old man rarely sees His Majesty crying, but every time the people are affected, His Majesty will cry."

"Your Majesty will definitely do it!"

"Although I didn't discuss it in the court, I was actually waiting for the silver taels sent by Jiangxi."

"The silver two enter Beijing, and we will start talking about water control next year."

The topic is heavy.

The land of China, which has been developed and destroyed for more than 4,000 years, has reached the point of dying of old age.

The reason why no emperor is willing to control the water.

Because this is not a cultural and martial arts, how can it be better to defeat a few countries and shine in the annals of history?

This mess, Zhu Qiyu decided to go next.

The benefits are in the future, but he Zhu Qiyu can't enjoy it.

Just like Yang Guang of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Wang Hong choked up and said: "My Huaxia seems to be thriving, but in fact, it is just floating on the surface. ”

"Why are all dynasties and dynasties, the prosperity is short, and it is fleeting in the blink of an eye."

"It's because the so-called wealthy are all upper-class, and the interests are also sucked away by this class, gradually growing and becoming a cancer."

"And the people's suffering, even in the prosperous times, it is difficult to make a living, where will there be any surplus food?"

"So the prosperity is not destined to last long."

"Boom and bust, cliff-like decline!"

"This is a true truth that has existed since ancient times."

As he spoke, Wang Hong knelt down in the direction of the Forbidden City: "If Your Majesty is really willing to take out 200 million taels of silver to control the Yellow River, improve the river, and cure the Yellow River once and for all, so that the people will not suffer from floods, you should be the first benevolent monarch of the ages!" ”

It's irrefutable!

"If the people are rich, they will be safe, and if the people are healthy, as long as the subjects of the world live a good life, where will there be any rebellion?"

"How can the Ming Kingdom Zuo not survive forever?"

Wang Hong wiped away his tears and respectfully bowed three times and bowed nine times: "In the matter of water control, the old minister is willing to break his bones!" ”

Hu Hu and Wang Fu also knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

Water control is not only costly, but also touches the interests of many strata, so Wang Hong said that he was broken.

The three of them were in tears.

Although they are in the cabinet, the three of them feel the deepest, and they don't know how many chapters they report every day, and they approve them every day, which makes people's hearts blocked.

"I'm afraid 200 million taels is not enough." Wang Fu made a rough calculation.

Hu Hu said: "Your Majesty said, you can spend as much money as you want, and you must manage the rivers and rivers of the world!" ”

"But I'm afraid that the civil servants will be recruited frequently, if only they could give some money like this year."

Wang Fu knows that it is unrealistic.

If the duration of water control is extended to 30 years, hundreds of millions of people may be conscripted, and if you really want to give money, I am afraid it will be doubled.

Four hundred million taels?

No one dared to think about this number.

"It's difficult for the people, it's right to give some money, and it's also excellent to improve your life."

Wang Hong's eyes rolled, and he came up with a poisonous plan: "The old lady's Li Dai Taozhuang's plan can be used to help the country repair the river, the country has raised so many troops, and it must contribute to the country." ”

Wang Fu was dumbfounded: "Is it hurting Tiande?" ”

"Your Majesty said, the people of the Ming Dynasty are people, and the people of other countries are people, are they people?"

Wang Hong sneered: "Let them serve the dynasty, that is the opportunity given to them." ”

"After 30 years, when the country's waterways are repaired, it's a big deal to allow them to be enlightened."

"What a kindness this is."

That is, to catch slaves, play to the death.

"What do you think, old lady?" Wang Hong looked at Hu Hui.

Hu Hui bowed: "It's okay, but in recent years, you still have to use the people of the country." ”

"If you give money, the people of the country will give money, and the people of other countries will serve as husbands." Wang Hong has a good trick to treat differently.

Wang Fu said: "It is harmful to the way of the saints, but the control of the water is a matter of praying for the blessings of the common people, and making them take the ancient path of the saints is also to educate them." ”

Hypocrisy, Wang Fu!

Wang Hong said excitedly: "I will write a chapter tonight, and I will show your majesty." ”

Compared with the radical control of the Yellow River, Taifu Temple is not a matter at all.

Hu Hu said: "So Your Majesty wants to rectify the Taifu Temple, can you understand?" ”

The emperor did not want to raise horses in the interior anymore.

Taifu Temple wants to act outside the Great Wall, and it needs a capable minister to preside, and Sun Hong is completely useless, so the emperor wants to squeeze his oil and water dry and kick it off.

The money should be kept to cure the Yellow River.

Wang Hong and Wang Fuxing rushed back to write the recital.

Hu Hu didn't have the heart to read anymore, he began to collect information about the Yellow River, in his lifetime, can he see the Yellow River after the radical treatment?

And in the palace.

Lin Cong transferred the silver, and he had already set off from Henan, and the report was sent to the palace first.

At the same time, Zhu Yi's recital also arrived.

Shen Xuan also entered Beijing.

"Let Xu Gan go to trial."

After Zhu Qiyu finished reading it, he threw the piece to Feng Xiao: "Zhu Yi did a good job, reward!" ”

He found that Zhu Yi was not good at fighting and was suitable for playing politics.

"Look at what Lin Cong means, I don't want to escort the silver."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "The road from Henan to Beijing has been cleaned many times, there are no bandits, let Yang Jun lead the army to respond, Lin Cong is responsible for transporting the silver out of Henan, and Yang Jun will be in charge of Beizhili." ”

On the one hand, Lin Cong should focus on cleaning up Henan;

On the other hand, Lin is pregnant, so he always has to give some face.

"Slave obeys!"

"He Zhien."

Zhu Qiyu shouted: "You take someone to Gyeonggi to inspect and see how the people's homes are preparing for winter." ”

He Zhien knelt on the ground: "Emperor, it's cold early this year, and I'm afraid that the people's families will have a hard time." ”

"I know, you go and take a look, don't go in official clothes, make a private visit in micro-clothes, let me have a number in my heart."

"You have to see it with your own eyes to know."

"Next year, I will see how we can improve the lives of the people of Gyeonggi."

Zhu Qiyu may be the first emperor in the ages to pay attention to people's livelihood.

In other words, there is no one before and no one after him.

How can any ruler have the people in his eyes?

"The emperor regards the people as his own sons and daughters, which is the blessing of the common people." He Zhien choked up.

"Go ahead."

Send away Ho Chi-en.

Zhu Qiyu continued to dispose of the recital.

"Fu Yuan, you hold my holy decree and go to inspect the Gyeonggi granary, and see clearly whether the grain is piled up."

Fu Yuan knelt on the ground: "Emperor, do you want to check one warehouse after another?" ”

"Examine it carefully, open all the grain, and see if there is any adulteration in it."

"Look at the quality of the grain, it's different from what is said in the recital."

"Quantity and quality, can they match?"

"Remember, spot checks."

"We must not let the news slip out."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were gloomy: "Holding the sword of the Son of Heaven, who dares to stop you and kill him!" ”

"If something goes wrong, hand it over to the East Factory to investigate."

"Slave obeys!" Fu Yuan's heart jumped and he went out of the palace to play prestige.

Fu Yuan just went out.

Feng Xiao came in: "Emperor, it's time to eat." ”

"Is King Zheng here?" Zhu Qiyu stood up and moved.

"I'm waiting in the side hall."

"Come in and dine with me."

The food eaten by the emperor is not delicious at all, from the food bureau to the emperor's dinner table, it takes an hour, and every time you pass through the door, there are eunuchs and palace maids to test the poison.

One by one, they passed through and finally reached the emperor's table.

Feng Xiao eats first.

After using it, after a period of time, it is confirmed that it is non-toxic, and the emperor will be invited to dinner.

There is a small charcoal stove under the food box, which is constantly hot, not to mention the taste, it must be unpalatable, and the main thing is safety.

Zhu Qiyu sat at the dining table.

King Zheng stood cautiously.

Eat without saying anything.

Zhu Qiyu only ate and did not speak.

King Zheng stood, sniffing.

I didn't add him dishes and chopsticks, nor did I give him a seat, nor did I let him eat.

Soon, Zhu Qiyu ran out, wiped his mouth, and slowly stood up: "Uncle Wang, use it." ”

Feelings let me eat leftovers?

King Zheng didn't dare not use it, so he picked up the dishes and chopsticks sent over and ate two bites casually, the taste was definitely not delicious.

"Uncle Wang's appetite is so small?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

King Zheng immediately knelt down: "Weichen's abdomen is uncomfortable, so he doesn't dare to eat more." ”

"If you don't eat it, you'll waste it."

Yes?

The emperor didn't seem to hear him, and my stomach hurt and I couldn't eat.

Feng Xiao walked over and sent the dishes and chopsticks to King Zheng's hands: "The emperor asked you to eat, you can eat quickly." ”

King Zheng was helpless and struggled to stand up.

But Feng Xiao patted him on the shoulder.

King Zheng understood, and the emperor told him to eat on his knees.

With tears in his eyes, he ate a few more bites, and the food was unpalatable;

The two knelt uncomfortably, and felt aggrieved;

He really didn't want to eat the three.

And put it down again.

"What? Is the food in the palace unpalatable? Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Your Majesty, I really can't eat it."

"Eat!" Zhu Qiyu scolded.

King Zheng was so frightened that he had to pick up the dishes and chopsticks and continue to stuff them inside.

My stomach is bursting.

The food on the dinner table was all eaten up.

"Add another bowl of rice to Uncle Wang."

King Zheng hurriedly shook his head: "Your Majesty, I really can't eat it." ”

It's already up to your throat, and you can spit it out when you speak.

But the eunuch of the Shang Food Bureau has already brought a bowl of white rice.

On the emperor's table, there was bread and rice.

In order to supplement adequate nutrition, Zhu Qiyu will eat a cake, a bowl of rice, or a bowl of noodles and a bowl of corn rice to match.

Vegetables and meat are also properly matched, and most of them are medicinal foods to help the body's health.

King Zheng choked on another bowl of rice, but he couldn't hold it anymore and spit it out.

He was sick to the sight of food now.

"Uncle Wang, why did you throw up?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

King Zheng lay on the ground: "Wechen is guilty, Weichen is guilty!" ”

The body is nested, and when he speaks, he vomits.

"What kind of sin are you please?" Zhu Qiyu is still strolling around.

He eats only eight minutes full, eats five to six meals a day, and pays attention to exercise.

Originally, during this interval, I was going to preach a bachelor's degree to read books to him, and every time I ate, I had to listen to the lectures.

He didn't waste every minute, he was full.

"Wechen has two major sins!"

"First, it is a big sin to lose honor in front of the palace!"

"Second, Wechen sees that he is rich, does not pay patent fees, affects the government, and Wechen is a capital crime!"

King Zheng understood.

"If you can't eat it, why do you have to eat it?"

Zhu Qiyu walked over and pointed to something: "Are you challenging my bottom line?" ”

"Wechen don't dare, Wechen don't dare!" King Zheng broke out in a cold sweat.

"You didn't dare, but you did!"

"As soon as I established the patent office, you came out to stir up trouble!"

"What for?"

"Slap me in the face!"

Zhu Qiyu kicked him and directly kicked King Zheng over.

Affected by gravity, King Zheng opened his mouth and spit out.

A sour smell permeated the dining room.

"Eat!"

Zhu Qiyu's face was fierce: "If you don't eat it, I will get rid of your prince!" Let you go to the temple to keep a vigil! ”

King Zheng got up and put the filth he had spit into his mouth little by little.

The Prince.

It's not as good as a dog.

"There is a shortage of food in the world, and you are still wasting food!"

"After eating so much, I vomited myself and am still eating!"

"I set up a patent office, but you were the first to take the lead in sabotage."

"Don't you want to stay in Daming?"

"I still want to smash my pot!"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sharp: "Spread the decree, take back King Zheng's woolen mill, and don't do business!" ”

"King Zheng himself is guilty, but thinking of the family affection of the heavenly family, he thought about it behind closed doors, and he was not allowed to see anyone, and he was limited to one month, so he could reflect on himself!"

King Zheng actually breathed a sigh of relief, and the emperor did not punish him severely.

"Weichen thank Your Majesty Longen!" King Zheng hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

"King Zheng, tell me, who instructed you?"

Zhu Qiyu thinks that King Zheng knows each other very well, he has no reason, and on the issue of money, he tore his face with the emperor.

King Zheng's face changed slightly.

"I'm giving you a chance."

King Zheng hesitated for a long time.

"That's it, don't say it if you don't want to say it, go back." Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea and went to the front hall to deal with government affairs.

King Zheng was directly stupid, and crawled over on his knees: "Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen doesn't say it, but ......"

Zhu Qiyu stopped and looked back at him: "If you are so verbose, I will take back the prince!" ”

"It was made by the kings together!"

You know, there are ghosts in this.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are also of the Taizu bloodline, and they are your clansmen!"

King Zheng cried and said: "You don't allow your ministers to participate in politics and discuss politics, and you are limited to Beijing, but you must always give some money and let your ministers live a good life!" ”

Taizu's plan for the clan is quite reasonable.

The income is very low, only five generations.

However, Emperor Taizong exchanged money for the military power of the clan, causing the kings to indulge in eating, drinking, and enjoyment.

I can't wait to eat duck tongue every day, and then throw all the ducks away, and my life is extravagant to the extreme.

"Didn't I give you enough of a good life?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

King Zheng did not dare to speak.

Is the present life a human being?

A large family lives in a small house.

The Hundred Kings' Mansion is under construction, you can wait.

But there are only more than 30 dishes in a meal, is that the life of a person?

"What do you look at? You all eat better than I do! ”

"Look at what I'm wearing, this dragon robe was made by Jingtai for six years, it's been three years, have I changed it?"

"Your python robe is the latest gift from me this year."

"Which prince, I didn't give a robe? Who hasn't changed into new clothes? ”

"Only the house is a little bit closer."

"But the palace of the hundred kings is being supervised, and every palace is built magnificently, are you blind? Can't you see it? ”

"Where did I treat you?"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sharp: "What?" When I saw me cleaning up Jiangxi, I realized that the opportunity was coming? ”

"Someone!"

"Proclaim all the kings!"

"Kneel outside the Heart Cultivation Temple!"

"I'm going to ask who has a mind that shouldn't be!"

King Zheng was dumbfounded.

The emperor's association is too strong, right?

Who is plotting to usurp the throne?

can think about it, the emperor has cleaned up Jiangxi, and he has already moved the interests of the gentry, otherwise how could he edict back Fan Guang and Yu Kang to guard the Beijing division.

But at this moment, they challenged the emperor's bottom line.

Isn't this just throwing stones and asking for directions?

Hit yourself with the muzzle of the gun.

"I was originally quite kind to the clan."

"But you treat my kindness to you as a donkey's liver and lungs!"

"Okay, I'd like to see whose mind is so treacherous!"

"Who is so ignorant of the height of the sky! Who has failed my kindness! ”

Zhu Qiyu wants to use the topic to play again.

There are so many princes, he looks upset.

This time, a few princes will be lowered.

Let the clan obediently return the prince.

And in Guangdong.

Lu Gao and Ou Xin met.

Lu Gao's injury was not yet healed, but the emperor ordered him to go out of Beijing, which was to give him a chance.

Zhu Yong had already driven Lin Jie and his gang into the sea.

However, the coastal areas were severely damaged, and tens of thousands of people suffered.

I am afraid that the decree of central punishment is coming down.

Sailors! Sailors!

Zhu Yong was greatly stimulated, and when he returned to Hailang, he became very dull.

He wants to train the navy.

And Ou Xin and Lu Gao have entered the Guangzhou Mansion.

Ouxin is responsible for cleaning up the cottage.

Lu Gao is in charge of checking people.

Ou Xin was in Lianzhou, attacking Zhugang, Rennei and Xingzi, and then penetrated into Huayin Mountain and Mangshan to sweep the territory.

Lu Gao appeared in Guangzhou.

Guangzhou was not affected by the war at all, and its prosperity is still the same.

On the street, you can see people with different appearances, doing all kinds of business.

Lu Gao also came to Guangzhou for the first time, but he was shocked by the prosperity of Guangzhou, which is no less prosperous than Beijing.

But the difference is that the currency used here is silver.

It is rare to see treasure money and copper coins.

There are a lot of foreigners.

Lu Gao went to see Liu Zhenhai first.

Liu Zhenhai is in the office of the city's ship.

He also received a letter from the central privy committee, asking him to cooperate with Ou Xin and Lu Gao.

After greetings.

"My lord, can you detect the abnormality of the political envoy Hou Chen of Guangdong?" Lu Gao got straight to the point.

Liu Zhenhai was slightly stunned: "Tiqi wants to check Houchen?" ”

"Before Lin Hao died, he said that there is no clean officialdom in Guangdong!"

Lu Gao said seriously: "Your Majesty means that the heavens of Guangdong can only be Your Majesty, not anyone else!" ”

Liu Zhenhai was taken aback.

What this means is that Fang Ying is coming back.

Fang Ying personally sat in charge and cleaned up Guangdong.

"When the emperor said this, was he angry?" Liu Zhenhai also prepared good things to enter the palace, isn't it about the New Year.

"Nature."

Lu Gao still remembered His Majesty's advice before leaving Beijing.

Liu Zhenhai's eyes flickered: "This ......"

"My lord, the lower official will talk to you in advance."

Lu Gao said: "The city is about to be closed, Your Majesty wants to learn from Jiangxi, block Guangdong, and check Guangdong." ”

Liu Zhenhai looked at Ouxin's roadmap again.

Ou Xin would go from Mangshan to Shaozhou, along Hunan and Jiangxi to the east, and finally to Chaoshanfu, closing the passage to the east.

Then Guangdong was completely locked up like a cage and investigated.

"There are a lot of goods ...... in the city"

"Your Majesty doesn't care about that money."

Lu Gao said lightly: "Even, after the blockade, no ships are allowed to dock, and no ships are allowed to leave the port. Foreigners should also be investigated, those who should be investigated, and those who should be killed! ”

"This is the Emperor's Order!"

Liu Zhenhai was taken aback, and he could see His Majesty's determination.

No wonder the emperor crossed Leizhou to Guangxi.

Let Qiongzhou Mansion be far away from Guangdong, and save people from fleeing to Qiongzhou.

You need to take the road from Guangxi to get to Qiongzhou Mansion.

Since then, the emperor has been making an inventory of Guangdong.

"What about Fujian?" Liu Zhenhai asked.

Lu Gao laughed: "My lord, let's just take care of the affairs of Guangdong, and give Your Majesty a satisfactory explanation, naturally high-ranking officials are Houlu, and other matters have nothing to do with us." ”

Liu Zhenhai nodded.

He has been greedy all these years.

Those smuggling ships could not leave the port without him turning a blind eye.

Even, there is no clean one in the whole of Guangdong.

If you investigate deeply, will it make Guangdong rebel?

That's not.

Guangdong is not the land of Longxing at all, there is a Guangxi next to it, Fang Ying has more than one million Guangxi wolf soldiers in his hands, and he can pacify Guangdong in an instant, and rebel lonely.

This is the emperor's confidence.

"Then close the port now?" Liu Zhenhai didn't dare to think otherwise.

"Don't be busy for the time being, when the Ou Shen general arrives in Chaoshan Mansion, he will send a letter over, and after Lord Liu receives the letter, he will close the port and not be allowed to enter or leave."

That is to say, Fang Ying will return to Guangdong at that time.

After the secret talks between the two sides.

Lu Gao went to visit the political envoy Hou Chen of Guangdong.

Hou Chen was also depressed.

After being robbed of his official position by the emperor, he was strangely allowed to serve as his substitute.

And Ti Qi came to investigate.

Hou Chen is a piece of shit, and he doesn't dare to let him check.

He wanted to go past Annan and run for his life.

But the king of Annam refused to accept it, and Annam did not want to fight, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty had millions of soldiers on the border, and the king of Annam had sent an envoy to sue for peace.

He also offered a hundred boatloads of grain and begged the Ming Emperor not to attack Annam.

According to the usual operation, the grain will definitely not be transported.

The suzerain, the Ming Dynasty, will also reward them with a lot of gold and silver.

What Da Ming wants is a face.

And Lu Gao entered the political envoy's office, and the first sentence scared the marquis half to death.

"I heard that Your Excellency has contacted Annan?" Lu Gao asked coldly.

"Deputy Commander Lu, one of the official clans moved to Annan in the Yongle Dynasty, and it was just a normal communication."

The corners of Lu Gao's mouth curled: "That is to say, the adult admits it?" ”

"Admit what?" Hou Chen's heart trembled.

Tiqi's reputation is not obvious.

However, since the establishment of the factory guard this year, it has handled several major cases and has a well-deserved reputation.

"Admit to fornicating with Annan!" Lu Gao sneered.

"This is a letter from home......"

Lu Gao waved his hand: "Where is the letter?" ”

"It's been sent."

"What the official said is the original, what is the content of your letter?" Lu Gao asked.

Hou Chen smiled bitterly and said that he could repeat the contents of the letter.

"Without evidence, with your mouth, who can believe it?"

"There's no way for the official!" Hou Chen can only play tricks.

"Then let's go with the lower officials." Lu Gao bought a private house and used it as an interrogation room.

Hou Chen was helpless and said that he would let him go to the back office and say goodbye to his wife.

Lu Gao followed him.

But when he entered the house, he closed the door.

After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of the stool falling to the ground.

Lu Gao pushed away the slaves who were blocking him, kicked the door open, and saw the Hou Chen hanging on the beam, and Lu Gao hurried to save people.

After all, it was a step too late, and Hou Chen was worried that he would be rescued by hanging, so he also took poison.

Man is dead.

"Someone!"

"Arrest everybody!"

"Hou Chen committed suicide in fear of crime, and his family will be tried!"

Lu Gao smashed the matter.

The news of the suicide of Hou Chen, the political envoy, quickly spread in Guangzhou.

Liu Zhenhai hurriedly came and blamed: "Why are you so careless?" ”

"How is this going to end?"

Liu Zhenhai also had no idea.

"I don't know." Lu Gao originally wanted to use Hou Chen as a breakthrough, but Hou Chen committed suicide.

Liu Zhenhai smiled bitterly: "Send someone to invite Governor Fang to impose martial law in Guangdong in advance!" ”

That's all there is to it.

And Fang Ying, who was in Siming Mansion, scolded: "This little thing can't be done!" ”

Guangxi is not done yet.

He was driving the toast to Annam.

Go to Cholera Annam.

Annan sent an envoy to condemn, but was driven out by Fang Ying and didn't see him.

It is estimated that Annan's envoys have already left for Beijing and cried to the emperor.

can only split out 20,000 people, hand them over to Wang Qi and Zhang Gang, and guard Siming Mansion.

He also left Chen Wenwen to guard the Longzhou Mansion.

Then the generals were split, and the wolf soldiers who had family affairs were left in Guangxi to establish the Guangxi Army, and the rest went to Guangdong by boat.

Transporting more than 800,000 people to Guangdong is extremely demanding.

The wolf soldiers stopped.

There is food and drink, and there are dramas to watch.

Because they are just going to war, if they emigrate, they will immediately rebel.

Fang Ying needs to sit in the rear army.

Follow the last wave of ships into Guangdong.

In the city, a large fleet of ships has already set sail.

A few days after Hou Chen's death, the people of Guangdong were in turmoil, and many people were preparing to leave Guangdong.

But it was blocked by the Guangdong soldiers.

No sailing.

Those ships were all armed, and they fired directly at the Ming army.

Liu Zhenhai led the warships to intercept at Hutou Pass, and the artillery bombardment sank more than 100 ships and forcibly seized them.

Arrest all those who try to sail the ship.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise in Guangdong.

Ouxin, which is in Mangshan, has also picked up its pace.

Along the way, he continued to divide his troops, and he went to Chaoshan Province to block the eastward route and block the border between Guangdong and Fujian.

Duan Si'e troops went out of Leizhou Prefecture to cut off the border between the former Guangdong and Guangxi.

At the same time, the division of troops along the coast is deployed.

Stop pirates from coming ashore.

The people were not allowed to build private boats and go to sea.

The whole of Guangdong is in turmoil.

The first wave of ships belonging to the Governor's Palace, which had already docked, were all Guangxi wolf soldiers, and they were deployed along the coastline according to the order.

And Zhu Yong, who was in Hailang, received an order to move to Guanghaiwei to supervise the construction of ships and guard against pirates.

Because of Lu Gao's mistake, the whole of Guangdong has to wipe his buttocks.

Good planning, had to be launched in advance.

Mistakes and omissions are inevitable.

He couldn't get it.

Therefore, he vented his anger on those businessmen who tried to go offshore.

It doesn't matter what nationality he is?

All of them will be punished.

"My lord, the villain is a merchant of the Champa Kingdom, and the Champa State is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty!" A businessman is dying.

Lu Gao personally interrogated him: "Since it is a vassal country, then you have to listen to the words of Daming!" ”

"The officer asked you, how can there be porcelain on your ship?"

"Acquired." The merchant was terrified.

"Can you buy a ship? Who sold it to you? Lu Gao held back the fire.

The Ming Dynasty does not open the sea.

Merchants are not allowed to purchase in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this rule also deceived the emperor, and the prosperity of Guangzhou was brought by these foreign businessmen.

He offered a shop that made porcelain.

Lu Gao sent someone to copy it, and then dragged it in for interrogation.

He rented the whole street of houses.

There are too many people arrested to interrogate.

Tiqi brought two hundred men, and they were too busy.

I'm still transferring people from Beijing.

The porcelain merchant admitted that the porcelain was smuggled from Jingdezhen.

It's a smuggling trail.

When Lu Gao left Beijing, he knew that Jiangxi had found porcelain smuggling.

But how exactly does this line go.

Haven't found out yet.

Lu Gao let people record, he didn't have time to care about these little things.

In the whole of Guangdong, who has a connection with maritime businessmen?

Lu Gao took the opportunity to raid all the shops on the street and sent people to interrogate them from house to house.

The merchants of Guangzhou are inextricably linked to smuggling.

Their goods are all smuggled goods.

Silk in Shu, paper from Lead Mountain, iron pot from Foshan, cotton cloth from Songjiang, porcelain from Jingdezhen and other goods.

It's basically smuggling.

Then sell it to foreign businessmen at a low price.

This is an industrial chain.

According to their confession, there is another line, there are merchants who receive goods in Guangzhou, collect enough goods, and then transport them out of Daming by pirates and go to the south of the sea to trade.

These were mainly sold to Persian merchants and would have cost a little more.

The merchants of the big food are willing to land on the mainland and buy directly, so as not to be pirated.

But such a merchant is easy to be robbed by pirates.

Over time, foreign businessmen were willing to go to the south to buy from the sea, resulting in fewer foreign businessmen in Guangzhou.

There are fewer foreign merchants, and local merchants are rolled up, and the goods bought by the formal channels of the national dynasty are too expensive.

But the goods smuggled from the government factories in various places have no cost, so they are cheaper.

Therefore, smuggling by government factories has become a common practice.

Relying on prices to attract foreign businessmen to take risks and purchase goods in China.

There is a second line.

"The sea to the south? Where? Lu Gao asked.

"It's Siam!"

Siam?

Lu Gao realized that the basket was poking up.

When the emperor found out, he would definitely attack Siam in anger!

He gathered all the results of the interrogation into a concert and presented it to the palace.
