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

As the civil and military officials were discussing, they cast their eyes towards Ouyang Lun. The expressions they showed towards Ouyang Lun were quite complicated, including shock, surprise, admiration and even fear!

Although everyone is saying that suppressing the rebellion in Yunnan and conquering the Northern Yuan Dynasty are not on the same level, and clamoring to suppress the rebellion in Yunnan is just child's play, but the vast majority of civil and military officials know very well that precisely because the suppression of the rebellion in Yunnan is only a local rebellion and does not rise to a national disaster, it tests the ability of those who respond even more!

The situation in Yunnan Province is more complicated and changeable than the grassland during the conquest of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!

As the logistics manager for the two wars, all the civil and military officials wanted to make fun of Ouyang Lun this time, and they also believed that Ouyang Lun would definitely put in more effort and spend more time on the logistics arrangements this time.

But judging from the current situation, Ouyang Lun's unconventional sword move not only succeeded, but the effect was obviously better than last time!

You must know that this time all the civil and military officials, especially the officials from Li Shanchang's Huaixi Party, focused all their attention on the Ministry of Revenue. After all, if materials were to be allocated, they must start from the Ministry of Revenue. After a month, what everyone saw was that the Ministry of Revenue was indeed preparing materials and everything was in order, but the problem was that there was simply not enough time!

Just when everyone was secretly happy and thought that Ouyang Lun was bound to be in trouble this time, the common people seemed to be injected with chicken blood and took spontaneous action without any mobilization from the court. The news from the front line made all the civil and military officials dumbfounded!
It's not Ouyang Lun, why do you talk so much? ! !
Such a scene and such support from the people can be said to have completely exceeded the cognition of the officials in charge of cultural relics. They were greatly shocked. Even if they did not say it, they were deeply impressed by Ouyang Lun's methods in their hearts!

Other officials were talking about it, and Li Shanchang and the Huaixi Party officials looked uglier than each other.

Over the past month, Li Shanchang and officials from the Huaixi Party have met together for no less than ten meetings, all to discuss the Yunnan rebellion and Ouyang Lun. If there had been no news from the front, they would have believed that they would have been able to defeat Ouyang Lun this time, or at least make him suffer a great loss.

Li Shanchang was also prepared to pull Ouyang Lun down from the position of the army's logistics chief, and then take over personally to fight a decisive battle!

In the past, when Zhu Yuanzhang was still in the Red Turban Army, Li Shanchang was in charge of logistics. It can be said that Li Shanchang was Zhu Yuanzhang's earliest logistics chief. Li Shanchang asked himself that his logistics ability was no worse than Ouyang Lun. As long as this plan could succeed, it would be a win-win situation!
But the development of things was completely beyond Li Shanchang's expectations. Ouyang Lun didn't focus on the Ministry of Revenue at all. Li Shanchang even suspected that the Ministry of Revenue was just a smokescreen to confuse them in order to secretly move forward and mobilize the people!
The same method was used twice!
Every time he mobilized so many people, it was as if the people were all part of Ouyang Lun's family, and he could control them at will!

Wait, these two times are not the same!
During the expedition against the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Ouyang Lun asked the Ministry of Revenue to issue a notice and offered many benefits in order to mobilize the people and merchants. But this time, Li Shanchang's mind began to think frantically, trying to find evidence that Ouyang Lun mobilized these people.

A court announcement? No.

Benefits promised? No.

Coercion? No.

Apart from a few newspapers publishing reports on the Yunnan rebellion, can just a few reports mobilize the people?

This. This is too scary.

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, who else can do this except Ouyang Lun?
Thinking of this, Li Shanchang couldn't help but look up at Zhu Yuanzhang and his son Zhu Biao who were sitting on the dragon throne. He thought that these two might not be able to do it either.
Li Shanchang and the officials of the Huaixi Party naturally felt uncomfortable.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, father and son, were still very happy. Didn't they become emperors just for this day? When the court had matters, the people would fully support them. In the past, they could only dream about this. After all, it was really too difficult to achieve this, and they had basically never seen that dynasty achieve it.

Zhu Biao turned his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly. When Zhu Biao turned his head again to face the civil and military officials, he smiled brightly, "Before, I was worried about what happened to the army that suppressed the rebellion!"

"From the latest news we have received, the anti-rebellion army just got lost in the deep mountains and old forests, took a lot of detours and wasted some time. Fortunately, with the help of the people, the problem has been completely solved. It shouldn't be long before we can receive victory reports from the front line."

With the help of millions of civilians and 150,000 troops to suppress the rebellion, to be honest, Zhu Biao could not imagine how he could lose this battle!

It can be said that there is no suspense about the Yunnan Rebellion.

"The Supreme Emperor Shengming!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"God bless me Daming!"

Civil and military officials immediately shouted loudly, and for a moment the entire Tai Chi Hall was extremely lively.

"To have such a situation, it is impossible without the efforts of one person." After saying that, Zhu Biao looked at Ouyang Lun, "Brother-in-law Ouyang, you are the biggest contributor to this matter. Why don't you tell us how you got the people to support the court so actively?"

"I heard that the people who went to support us all volunteered to go to the front line!"

Zhu Biao finished speaking.

Swish--

Other civil and military ministers also looked at Ouyang Lun with curiosity in their eyes. Although they had also received a lot of news, they still wanted to hear it from Ouyang Lun in person.

"Prince Consort Ouyang, with this scene, the relationship between the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty and the people can be said to be the best in history, unprecedented and unparalleled! Tell us about it so that we can learn from it!"

"That's right! Prince Consort Ouyang, please give me some advice!"

"Could it be that Prince Consort Ouyang secretly agreed to some conditions with the people, which is why the people are so enthusiastic?"

For a time, there were officials who wanted to learn humbly, those who were envious and jealous, and those who had all kinds of doubts.

Seeing this, Ouyang Lun was quite helpless. He spread his hands and said calmly: "This matter is neither difficult nor easy."

"It's actually just a matter of persistence." Is persistence enough?
After hearing this, the faces of the civil and military officials became even more confused.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Ouyang Lun's look, he almost rolled his eyes to the sky. This guy is so fucking good at pretending!
Ouyang Lun continued, "The people make up the largest part of the entire Ming Dynasty and are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's existence. The court has worked hard to develop over the years, increasing the people's income and improving their living standards. The people have seen and remembered all of this."

"The last time the court called on the people for support, the people responded positively, and in the end, our Ming Dynasty successfully won the victory over the Northern Yuan Dynasty. The court also did not forget the people, and fulfilled all the promises to the people, and also rewarded them according to their merits. All these made the people feel deeply involved, and made them understand that the entire Ming Dynasty is both ours and theirs!"

"This time, I did not issue a public announcement like I did last time. I simply asked major newspapers to publish the causes and consequences of the Yunnan rebellion, so that the people can understand why this incident happened and the benefits and disadvantages involved."

At this point, Ouyang Lun paused for a moment, then continued: "In fact, when I was doing this, I had a hunch that the people would take spontaneous action, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good and so many people would respond, so this is why persistence is so important!"

After listening to Ouyang Lun's explanation, all the civil and military officials in the Taiji Hall opened their eyes and mouths wide, with disbelief in their eyes.

It turned out that all of this was part of Ouyang Lun's grand plan, and this plan might have been planned since Ouyang Lun became the Prime Minister of the Cabinet or even earlier.

With such powerful planning ability and such brilliant and advanced thinking, it seemed as if Ouyang Lun had already planned the future for the Ming Dynasty!
A trace of despair rose in Li Shanchang's heart. The description of "if there is Yu, why is there Liang" was not appropriate enough. Li Shanchang now felt that Ouyang Lun was like the full moon in the night sky. The appearance of Ouyang Lun made him, Li Shanchang and other officials realize how insignificant they were!

Ouyang Lun is truly too powerful. Based on Ouyang Lun’s ability, the difficulty of replacing him would have to be increased by several levels.

So what if you, Ouyang Lun, are a genius!

Liu Bowen, Yang Xian and even Hu Weiyong were all extremely talented and resourceful, but they all fell before me in the end. I, Li Shanchang, may not be the best in strategy, but I am the most enduring. As long as I can endure, I may have a chance to defeat you, Ouyang Lun!

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also opened his eyes and his gaze fell on Ouyang Lun, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Ouyang Lun, why are you so sure that the people will really stand up and support you?"

"If the people don't stand up, the 150,000 soldiers who are suppressing the rebellion will probably be trapped and die in the deep mountains and old forests. By that time, you will be the sinner of my Ming Dynasty!"

"You are so brave!"

The more Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the deeper his voice became.

As Zhu Yuanzhang said this, all the civil and military officials reacted and realized that Zhu Yuanzhang was right. Ouyang Lun seemed to be gambling with the lives of 150,000 troops who were suppressing the rebellion!
Although Ouyang Lun's ideas were very novel and they learned a lot, the main thing was that he succeeded. If he failed, the 150,000 troops sent by the court would be in danger. Thinking of this, many officials broke out in cold sweats.

In response to Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning, other civil and military officials cast puzzled glances.

Ouyang Lun remained calm and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I did not gamble. I have never longed for the goodness of human nature, but I understand the consistency of interests!"

"If the rebels overthrow Yunnan Province, then the provinces adjacent to Yunnan Province will no longer be safe. At that time, the lives of the people will also be affected. In order to avoid affecting their lives, the only thing the people can do is to support the suppression of the rebellion!"

"After learning the truth of the whole incident, the people will know that their homes must not be destroyed. Protecting the home and the country. These four words will burst out in the hearts of the people!"

"At this moment, the interests of the Ming Dynasty court and the people are the same. In the eyes of the people, the Ming Dynasty court's army to suppress the rebellion came for them! If you don't help now, when will you help?"

Aligned interests! ?

These four words are obviously easier to understand.

If everyone had listened to Ouyang Lun's explanation just now, they would have thought that Ouyang Lun was very capable and was just lucky. However, when they heard Ouyang Lun talk about "common interests", everyone in the Tai Chi Hall understood that this had nothing to do with luck at all, and it was entirely due to Ouyang Lun's excellent planning.

One game, all the people in the world were knocked down.

It's just terrible!
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched. If it were someone else, Zhu Yuanzhang would have been thinking about how to get rid of Ouyang Lun, but now this is Ouyang Lun. Compared with the threats Zhu Yuanzhang had thought of in the past, this threat is nothing.

Ouyang Lun might be a bit of a bastard, but he is not a threat to the Ming Dynasty. After all, he is too lazy to go to court and do anything, and he is also his son-in-law, so there is no need to worry about him at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang had this idea not from the beginning, but after they had a frank talk last time, and with Empress Ma constantly whispering in his ears, Zhu Yuanzhang completely let down his guard against Ouyang Lun.

On the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang was more relieved and happy that Ouyang Lun could plan like this. After all, he had asked Ouyang Lun to do it in the past, and it was a pleasant surprise that he took the initiative to do it.

"Ouyang Lun, you did a great job this time!"

"You've worked hard over the years, we have to reward you well. Tell us what reward you want. As long as we can do it, we will satisfy you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Um! ?

As Zhu Yuanzhang said this, all the civil and military officials were stunned. It was the first time they saw such a generous Zhu Yuanzhang. Now that the situation is good, it would be fine for Zhu Yuanzhang to just praise him, but he actually wants to reward Ouyang Lun. You know, although the situation is very good now, the results of the rebellion in Yunnan have not yet come out!

If he wanted a reward, he would be too trusting of Ouyang Lun. If something unexpected happened during the suppression of the rebellion, or something went wrong, it would not only bring shame to the imperial court, but also to Zhu Yuanzhang, the retired emperor! (End of this chapter)
