Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 365: Do you have another conspiracy? (Please subscribe!!)

Of course, those were Ouyang Lun's inner complaints.

He was not so arrogant as to stand in the Tai Chi Hall and complain to Zhu Yuanzhang in front of all the civil and military officials. If he really did this, with Zhu Yuanzhang's face-loving character, he would probably have people fork him out. Lose.

"Your Majesty, this is just a small matter."

"For me, sprinkle water!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in Tai Chi Hall.

"Um, what does sprinkle water mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

"It means very simply." Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

"Then tell me quickly, what is the solution?"

"Although you messed up, I have to say that you are still a relatively good student. Of course, you still have a lot to learn. This time, just spend money to buy a lesson!" Ouyang Lun said with a smile. .

"Although most of the rebellions have been put down, there are still people who rebel!"

"Ouyang Prince Consort, the most difficult thing right now is that all the infrastructure projects in the four southern provinces have been stopped. There is no extra funds to restart, and the yamen can no longer spare a cent. I have estimated that if we want to restart, it will cost at least 50 million. Two, and this is still an early investment. Even if all 50 million taels are in place, I'm afraid it won't be able to support it for half a year. Then new funds will be needed. If there is no money, then we have to stop. If we give up, all the early investment will be spent. The water is floating.”

Ouyang Lun nodded, "Is there anything else?"

This guy is really getting more and more arrogant.

For a moment, the eyes of all civil and military officials were focused on Ouyang Lun again.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Guo Zi, Song Lian, Lu Chang, Li Shanchang and others.

If Ouyang Lun really saved the four southern provinces, Zhu Yuanzhang would be happy, and his guilt might be lighter. If even Ouyang Lun couldn't do it, maybe Ouyang Lun would be guilty like him, no matter what.

"There is also food. It has also been quietly hoarded by some businessmen."

Civil and military officials: "."

Ouyang Lun said impatiently.

"Do you still have any questions? Tell them all and I'll solve them together today! I won't let you bother me all the time."

"Prince-in-law, there is another matter. That is that Guo Huan and others embezzled a huge amount of money. Some of the money was hidden in the hands of many businessmen. Those businessmen are very smart and use various means to hide it. It will be troublesome to recover." Guo Zi said. road.

But now he still needs Ouyang Lun to help him clean up the mess, and he must not fall out with him.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask first, are there any specific issues that are more difficult now?" Ouyang Lun asked.

Li Shanchang was the first to speak. At this moment, he didn't look like a grand master or a prince, but like a bad old man who had made a mistake. He looked at Ouyang Lun with extremely complicated eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked hurriedly.

"There is also the stock market. The stock market can be said to be full of troubles now. The stock price has reached a low point. There are no more purchases at all, only constant buying. It also requires a lot of funds to save it, at least 50 million, and these 5,000 If you invest tens of thousands of dollars, it may not be effective, but if the stock market is allowed to collapse, not to mention that the people’s lifetime money in the four southern provinces will be wiped out, and it will be difficult for the four southern provinces to develop again.”

Li Shanchang continued.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "."

"." Li Shanchang's face was covered with black lines, and he was very depressed. Being reprimanded by a young man like this, he felt mixed emotions.

"Is there anything else? Don't say anything until later!" Ouyang Lun looked around, but no one spoke again.

"Ouyang Lun, this matter affects nearly ten million people in the four southern provinces. Can you really solve it?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had some trust in Ouyang Lun's ability, the incident was so big this time that he could no longer accept any failure. Zhu Yuanzhang also started a rebellion, and he knew very well that unless he was forced to survive, the people would not survive. Will rebel.

If Ouyang Lun cannot be completely resolved, the rebellion will become more and more serious. By then, not only the four southern provinces, but also other provinces will also have the same situation.

At that time, it will truly threaten the rule of Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Yuanzhang is not like following the old path of the Yuan Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty must not be ruined in his hands.

The more Ouyang Lun showed a relaxed look, the more he was beating a drum in his heart, resisting asking questions.

Ouyang Lun spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, these problems they are talking about are all related to money. The reason why these problems arise is because they have no money. Those officials and businessmen are too evil. They only care about making money for themselves and do not give the common people a way to survive. , they will naturally rebel!"

“So solving money is the first step!”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Then tell me how to solve this money problem. I can tell you that although there is still money in the Ming Dynasty's treasury, it must not all be used on the four southern provinces. At most, one thousand Come 10,000 taels!"

"Your Majesty is so generous!" Ouyang Lun applauded.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. Is this guy praising me or making fun of me?

"Since His Majesty has asked his ministers to solve the problem, how can he use the money in the treasury!"

"It doesn't use the treasury's money!!" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was happy, but he quickly looked at Ouyang Lun suspiciously, "It doesn't use the treasury's money, how can you pay for it yourself? This is like your Ouyang Lun style!"

"Of course not using my money."

"Then whose money are you using? Does your kid have some conspiracy??"

"Ahem, Your Majesty, how can you think of my son-in-law like this? My son-in-law is doing this to save you money," Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

"Stop!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand. Perhaps he had suffered too much from Ouyang Lun, and he also knew that Ouyang Lun was not the one who suffered the loss. Zhu Yuanzhang absolutely did not believe that Ouyang Lun would be so kind this time.

"You'd better state your request directly! My brothers are still settling the scores!" Uh.

Ouyang Lun was also stunned. He didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to be so wary of him. He was obviously a harmless, honest and honest existence!

Could it be that there was something wrong with Zhu Yuanzhang's personality? ?

"Since Your Majesty has requested it, please tell me directly. I think it is enough to use the money embezzled by corrupt officials to solve the problems in the four southern provinces. After all, what you take from the people should be returned to the people."

"The current deficit in the four southern provinces is at least hundreds of millions of taels. Even if you recover all the money embezzled by corrupt officials, it will only be 50 million taels. How can you close such a big gap?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of tears. Suspect.

"Since your majesty lets your son-in-law solve the problem, if your majesty is not worried about my son-in-law, you don't need to use my son-in-law. My son-in-law also happens to go back to the clan mansion to continue taking care of the baby. Wouldn't it be more comfortable?"

After saying that, Ouyang Lun planned to leave.

"Wait a minute, did I let you go?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"Prince-in-law, this is an early morning court meeting. It's not a place where you can leave just as you want. Don't be impulsive!" Guo Zi reminded him in a low voice from behind.

Forehead.

I almost forgot it was early morning.

Ouyang Lun turned around again and said with a smile: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Hmph, I'll leave this to you. You can make your request."

At that moment, Zhu Yuanzhang also thought for a moment. If even Ouyang Lun couldn't solve it, then no one in the entire Ming Dynasty could solve the problems in the four southern provinces. Since Ouyang Lun was so confident, let him do it. If he couldn't solve it, , directly dragged Ouyang Lun to take the blame, and finally killed Li Shanchang and Ouyang Lun together, which was an explanation to the people of the four southern provinces.

I have killed my most important minister and my son-in-law. The people of the four southern provinces will have to be sold to a buyer. Then it will take more than ten or twenty years to run the four southern provinces. This is Zhu Yuanzhang's last measure to ensure the bottom line. .

"Ahem, originally I was working for the Ming Dynasty, so how could I make demands? But since Your Majesty has already said it, if my son-in-law refuses, it will appear that my son-in-law is ignorant, so I can reluctantly make some demands!"

Ouyang Lun pretended to hesitate.

"You still want to make some requests. What a beautiful thought you have! You can only make one request. If you don't want it, then you don't have any request at all!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily.

Forehead.

Ouyang Lun's face is full of black lines and he is searching! !

"It's just one. It's okay to let my son-in-law solve the problems in the four southern provinces, but this time I have to leave the job of recovering the officials' embezzled money, and I have to distribute the recovered money, no matter how much is recovered!"

After hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened suddenly, "Is this one condition? You have several conditions put together!"

"That's all, I'm too lazy to tell you more. It's settled like this. If the four southern provinces don't handle it for me, I won't be able to spare you!"

"Okay." Ouyang Lun continued: "Your Majesty, since we are now in charge of the four southern provinces, what official position should we be appointed to?"

"What kind of official position should I appoint? Can't you just take over Li Shanchang's position?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"Your Majesty, there is only one position for Grand Master!" Ouyang Lun reminded.

"When will I let you be the Grand Master?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately realized when he said this. Li Shanchang managed the four southern provinces with the title of Grand Master. After all, where is Li Shanchang's qualifications and prestige, so there is no A new position was created, and now Li Shanchang has been called back. If Li Shanchang's position as Grand Master is taken away, Ouyang Lun can be made the Grand Master.

No, no, absolutely not.

How old is Ouyang Lun? He is less than thirty years old. He became a grand master at such a young age. When I wait a hundred years from now, what will Biao'er do to reward Ouyang Lun? He will be incomparable!

In addition, Li Shanchang’s guilt has not yet been determined, so removing him from his official position will definitely arouse strong dissatisfaction from the Huaixi Party. The four southern provinces are already in chaos. If the Huaixi Party becomes more chaotic, then the Ming Dynasty will probably became extremely unstable.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of a way and immediately said: "I will appoint you as the governor of the four provinces to oversee the military and political affairs of Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Guangdong provinces. You must solve the problems in the four southern provinces!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ouyang Lun accepted the order, raised his head, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have a small request."

"." Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened instantly, but seeing that Ouyang Lun was going to solve a big problem for him, Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his anger and almost gritted his teeth and said: "Ouyang Lun, don't go too far. !”

"Your Majesty, it's really just a small request. As long as you agree to my son-in-law, I promise to restore the four southern provinces to their original state within half a year!!" Ouyang Lun said.

"Really?" Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly.

"Of course it's true. In front of the civil and military officials of the court, my son-in-law would not dare to say nonsense." Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

"Okay! Since you can solve the problem within half a year, I will trust you once. Tell me what your small request is?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to transfer my son-in-law's other father-in-law, Wei Guogong Xu Da, to come to the four southern provinces to help my son-in-law!" Ouyang Lun directly expressed his thoughts.

"Xuda? No, no, no, he needs to guard the north to prevent Bei Yuan. If I transfer him to the four southern provinces, what will happen if Bei Yuan takes the opportunity to go south? I'm afraid that the problem in the south will not be solved and the north will be lost again. I will never do such a foolish thing." Zhu Yuanzhang's head shook like a rattle.

"Your Majesty, you heard from my son-in-law that now the Northern Yuan Dynasty cannot achieve unity within itself. Tatar and Oara only belong to the Northern Yuan Dynasty in name, but in fact they are already independent forces. With the strength of the Liaodong and Northern Yuan Royal Courts, It is simply not enough to launch an attack on our Ming Dynasty. You must know that the newly built Great Wall of our Ming Dynasty is not a vegetarian. Even if we stand on the wall and let the Beiyuan army attack, they will not be able to get in without large siege equipment!"

"What's more, there are grassland tribes headed by the Chita tribe occupying our side outside the Great Wall. Even if Beiyuan makes any moves, they will become our barrier. With the current strength of Beiyuan, can we Defeating the southern grassland tribal alliance headed by the Chita tribe is still a question mark."

"So the current safety index in the north is no worse than that in the south. Besides, His Highness King Yan has returned to Peiping. I heard that he is just like taking a chicken blood injection, instead of taking hundreds of officials to the fields to help the people with farm work. , just to train with the soldiers, my father-in-law Xu Da is gone, so I can train with His Highness King Yan, so why not?"

After hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately moved.

"There is some truth in what you said, okay. Then let Xu Da come to the four southern provinces and serve as deputy governor of the four provinces, and work as your deputy. Are you satisfied now?" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"I'm so satisfied!"

Ouyang Lun smiled and nodded. He had seen Xu Da's combat effectiveness with his own eyes. With Xu Da's help, he didn't have to worry about the military aspect at all. He could safely start working on restoring the economy and people's livelihood!

Zhu Yuanzhang was really worried.

After seeing Ouyang Lun agree, he directly transformed into the "Logistics Captain", arranging people and convoys. He didn't even give Ouyang Lun a chance to go home, and had people carry Ouyang Lun to the carriage.

In this way, Ouyang Lun, the Prince Consort of the Ming Dynasty, Zongren Ling of Zongrenfu, and Governor of the four provinces, were forced to embark on the road to the four southern provinces.

After several days of turbulence, Ouyang Lun's motorcade arrived at Guangdong Prefecture, Guangdong Province.
