Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 73 Beware
Zhu Qiyu has also realized something now. If the officials at the upper level do not obey his orders, then he will directly contact the officials at the lower level. This way he can also isolate those officials. When he encounters talented officials, he will also find opportunities to bring them up. In this way It will replace today's disobedient officials.

"That's fine, but the test content needs to be fair and serve the purpose of supervising training. I'm not familiar with military affairs, so I can't provide specific assessment measures!

The assessment can be a little stricter, and the official who will be assessed is announced at the end. This does not mean that whoever His Majesty trusts will be appointed as the chief assessor, but that it is based on his character, so that the officials below cannot figure it out, so as to avoid unfairness. Something!" Lin Cunde suggested while sitting there,

Zhu Qiyu nodded and agreed with Lin Cunde's suggestion.

Zhu Qiyu walked to the tea table and sat down. Wang Meilin also put Zhu Qiyu's tea cup for him. Zhu Qiyu continued: "Now, what needs to be rectified is the army. Cunde, please tell me carefully. What is the system of this guard station?" Isn’t there a problem, but why have thousands or hundreds of households become tenant farmers, and why are so many people living on empty wages?”

When Lin Cunde heard this, he looked at Zhu Qiyu in embarrassment. What should he say?I don't know anything about the Ming Dynasty's army. I have only heard about it, so I don't dare to talk nonsense.

"Why, you haven't thought about it?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile when he saw Lin Cunde was in such trouble.

Lin Cunde shook his head and said: "I haven't thought about that at all. Your Majesty, I have been studying behind closed doors at home. I still listen to Shibo and Zhu Ji about matters in the palace and the royal guards, but I never talk about matters in the army." I know, what can I say about this? I just know that many thousands of households have become landlords and soldiers have become tenants. But how many are like this, I really don’t know!"

Wang Meilin heard it from the side and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass Cunde. He really doesn't know, but he is not in a hurry. When he goes to the military camp with his father in the future, he will slowly understand and maybe he will have a good idea." , Now, organizing the imperial guards is the key, and the army needs to be taken care of slowly!"

"Yes, yes, Lin'er is right!" When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he also laughed. He was indeed anxious. How did Lin Cunde know about the affairs in the army?

"Brother-in-law, the army is not in a hurry. Now it is just about benevolent government and light taxes. There is no need to worry about anything else until the Emperor comes back!" Lin Cunde reminded Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and sighed: "You said that I don't know. But if I know these problems, if I don't deal with them, wouldn't I be a fool? If I don't know, that's all. If I know and don't change, how can I be worthy of Lie? How can our ancestors be worthy of the people of the world? Hey, no matter what, there is really no rush, if you take too big a move, it may bring bad results!"

"That's it. It's not appropriate to take too many actions now!" Lin Cunde nodded quickly.

"Well, but you still need to pay attention to the Queen Mother. If you are really invited to go, you go and let Lin'er accompany you. Don't do it forcefully!
I know the temperament of the Queen Mother, and her methods are ruthless. If not for this, how could the father and the emperor only have me and my brother?My father is good at riding and shooting, and has a strong body!Whenever a concubine in the palace is pregnant, she will either have an unknown miscarriage or die of miscarriage. The methods are ruthless! "Zhu Qiyu said to Lin Cunde.

When Lin Cunde heard this, he secretly smacked his tongue, are you so cruel?

Zhu Qiyu continued to talk to Lin Cunde: "After you go back, ask Wang Aiqing to find some nursing homes for you. You also need nursing homes. The mansion is so big, and the profits of soap and soap workshops are so high. It is not safe without nursing homes. In addition, , I will also ask the Jinyi Guards to strengthen patrols around your residence!"

"Well, thank you Your Majesty, but now the Queen Mother can still contact people outside?" Lin Cunde nodded and then asked.

"There must be channels that I don't know about yet. There are some things that we must guard against!" Wang Meilin looked at Lin Cunde and said, although he has mastered most of them, but Queen Mother Sun has been in the harem for so many years, who knows how many secrets there are.

"Well, can the profits from soap and soap workshops be divided? I need money now!" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.

Lin Cunde immediately nodded and said: "Divide, I have wanted to divide it for a long time. I still owe Shibo 3 taels, and I want to pay it back. This month has been good. Now I am earning almost 2 taels of silver every day. After throwing out expenses, It is estimated that there are still 58 taels left on the books that can be distributed as dividends, and the rest needs to wait until the weather gets warmer before we can build a new workshop!"

"Okay, let's share some. We need to rebuild the third battalion of the capital and rectify the Jinyiwei, which all require money. In addition, we also need money to organize the refugees to reclaim the land. Oh, it's okay, I have you, otherwise, I I don’t even know what to do!” Zhu Qiyu said gratefully,
"Brother-in-law, sister, I still say the same thing. If you are good, we will enjoy the glory and wealth outside. If you are not good, no matter how much money we have, it will be useless. If we can help, we will definitely try our best to help.

And now, everyone outside calls my brother-in-law the Holy King, and some people already call him this. Isn't this very gratifying for my brother-in-law? Lin Cunde asked Zhu Qiyu with a smile at this moment.

"Is that true? Cunde, please don't lie to me!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyu looked at Lin Cunde with bright eyes and asked.

"Why did I deceive my brother-in-law? There is a saying that God is watching what people do. My brother-in-law has done things for the people. How can the people not know? Therefore, if the money can help the brother-in-law, it means that the money can help the brother-in-law." I made the right profit! I have no regrets!

Money is not that important to me, but to the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty, it is very important. It allows the people to recuperate and live a healthy life. Although the money is not much, a penny less in taxes is very important to the people. important! Lin Cunde continued to say with a smile.

After hearing this, Wang Meilin also happily said to Lin Cunde: "Cunde is right. Come, drink tea, Cunde, study hard, and pay attention to your own safety. If you want to see the Queen Mother, I will go with you! Wait for later After you pass the exam, His Majesty will definitely put you to good use!"

"Yes, but it doesn't matter if you fail the exam. Now you are also an official. After you observe your filial piety, come to me!" Zhu Qiyu also nodded and said.

"Thank you, sister, brother-in-law!" Lin Cunde said again with his hands in hand.

"Come, drink tea. It's almost cold. I'll let Cheng Jing bring you some more later. You can't drink either. Tea is good!" Zhu Qiyu greeted Lin Cunde and said.The three of them sat there chatting for a while, and soon it was lunch time. Zhu Qiyu and Wang Meilin accompanied Lin Cunde to eat, Cheng Jing and Eunuch Ge were waiting beside them, and Eunuch Yan was directing the servants to work.They saw that Zhu Qiyu and his wife had been picking up food for Lin Cunde.

Wang Meilin also served Lin Cunde a hot plate, and Zhu Qiyu also wanted to serve Lin Cunde a meal, but Lin Cunde refused and asked the palace maid to serve the meal. This scene stunned the three of them.

They never dreamed that Zhu Qiyu and his wife valued Lin Cunde so highly.

After the meal, Lin Cunde said goodbye. Cheng Jing led Lin Cunde out of Baohe Hall, while Zhu Ji was waiting outside.

"Brother Cunde, are you out?" Zhu Ji said with a smile and cupped his hands at Lin Cunde.

"You haven't eaten?" Lin Cunde looked at Zhu Ji in surprise and asked.

"Don't worry, let's go, I'll take you out!" Zhu Ji said with a smile,'

Lin Cunde felt a little embarrassed and immediately said to Zhu Ji: "Okay, let's go, I'll invite you to a restaurant to eat. I've eaten and I'll sit with you for a while!"

"No, why are you so polite? Let's go. I'll find a place to deal with it later. After you observe your mourning, wouldn't it be nice for the two of us to find a restaurant and get drunk?" Zhu Ji waved his hand and said with a smile.

When Lin Cunde heard it, he was right, so he nodded.

"Zhu Qianshi, please escort him out!" Cheng Jing said to Zhu Ji with a smile.

"Don't worry, Eunuch Cheng, I'll escort him out!" Zhu Ji immediately said with his hands raised to Cheng Jing.

Cheng Jing nodded, Lin Cunde also bowed his hand to Cheng Jing, and Cheng Jing quickly returned the salute.

Lin Cunde followed Zhu Ji out of the palace. When he arrived outside the Meridian Gate, Lin Cunde said goodbye to Zhu Ji: "Brother Shangde, you are busy first and it has delayed your time to eat. It is a sin. After I have observed my filial piety, I have to invite Brother Shangde." Just eat a few big meals!”

"Haha!" After hearing this, Zhu Ji laughed and said, "But what you said is final!"

"Okay, you stay, I'll go back first!" Lin Cunde said to Zhu Ji, who nodded.

Soon, Lin Cunde rode Lin Cunyi's carriage and rushed to the mansion.

In the harem, Empress Dowager Sun is sitting in the wing, closing her eyes and concentrating. Now her place is no longer crowded with people as in the past, and it is much cleaner. The businesses that she and the Supreme Empress controlled before are now all those damn servants below. I went to report to the queen, and the business now belongs to the queen.

Moreover, most of the people here are not his confidants. The only few trustworthy people are still very young and unreliable. Moreover, he does not know whether these young people may have second thoughts.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Yu is back with the cloth!" A palace maid came over and said to Queen Mother Sun.

Queen Mother Sun opened her eyes and said, "Let him come in and answer!"

"Yes!" The palace maid immediately left. After a while, a father-in-law came in. It was the father-in-law who had come to see Wang Zhi before. His surname was Yu. He was young and very clever. He had been in Kangshou Palace before and was not arrested last time. It was good luck, and now I was carefully handling things for the Empress Dowager Sun.

"Why are you back?" Queen Mother Sun asked displeasedly when she saw Eunuch Yu coming in.

"Back to the Empress, I didn't dare to disturb the other people in the palace. I could only wander around outside before I dared to come back. Now the palace is full of the Queen's spies! Being caught is a small matter, nothing. The most important thing is to do things well for the Queen Mother!" Eunuch Yu knelt down and kowtowed to the Queen Mother Sun.

"Well, that's quite clever. That Lin Cunde, didn't you come to this palace? Did you see Lin Cunde today?" Empress Dowager Sun nodded with a smile and then asked.

I waited all morning and noon, but still hadn't waited for Lin Cunde to come over. It was obvious that Lin Cunde didn't give him any face.
