Zhu Yuanzhang Returns from Modern Times
Chapter 31 Fishing
Chapter 31 Fishing
Xue Xiang was greatly shocked. He saw again the Prime Minister Li who, during the war years, oversaw many political affairs in the rear and worked hard to complete the orders issued by His Majesty.
But this time, Xue Xiang did not agree with Li Shanchang's orders and actions.
Because this goes against what the emperor said, that is, to treat the people of Zhongdu well.
Moreover, this is no longer a time of war. What the Ming Dynasty needs now is stability, development, and recuperation.
However, Li Shanchang did not change his mind and continued to use the same approach from the war years, which might cause big problems.
But... although I thought so in my heart, I could only agree to it with a serious face.
He also expressed to Li Shanchang with utmost determination that he would complete the task and follow Li Shanchang's steps closely.
Who made Li Shanchang the Duke of Korea?
Who made Li Shanchang the leader of the Huaixi nobles?
Who made Li Shanchang your Majesty's Xiao He?
As the Minister of Works and a native of Huaixi, what else could he do in front of Li Shanchang except obey?
He is not worried that Your Majesty will not move the capital in the future.
Such a huge price has been paid, not to mention that the emperor doesn’t know the truth yet.
Even if he knew the truth, the matter was already settled and the emperor had to accept it.
He understood that this was an important reason why Li Shanchang dared to issue such an order and act in this way at this time.
What he was worried about was that if something happened in the future, Li Shanchang would push him out to take the blame.
Or perhaps Your Majesty didn't dare to punish Li Shanchang, so he decided to get rid of himself and give an explanation to the world...
The possibility of this happening is really not small.
Now, he could only sincerely hope that the emperor did not know what was happening in Zhongdu City.
Duke Hanguo was able to hide the secret from the emperor.
Or maybe after the emperor knew the truth, Duke Han would really do as he said and let him take the blame...
Compared to Xue Xiang's complicated mood, Li You and Ding Bin were much more straightforward.
He agreed to the task immediately and highly praised Li Shanchang's greatness.
Li You clasped his fists to his uncle Li Shanchang, saying that he would encourage the wealthy families who had migrated from Jiangnan to donate generously again to build the Zhongdu City.
Donate manpower and money to show your support for Zhongdu.
Ding Bin told his uncle that he would monitor all the laborers in Zhongdu City and would not allow any laziness to occur.
Zhongdu City does not support idle people. Every laborer must devote all his strength to Zhongdu City.
If necessary, this includes the lives of these laborers!
"Great! This is the spirit we need! This drive!
Good job!
In the future, our descendants in Huaixi will never forget our contributions.
The higher-ups here will surely appreciate our hard work and reward us generously!"
Li Shanchang cheered.
After the matter was finalized, Xue Xiang, Ding Bin and Li You hurried off to do their work.
Li Shanchang climbed up the broad, majestic and tall city wall of Zhongdu City.
With his hands behind his back, he looked at the magnificent Zhongdu city in the twilight, with a satisfied, determined, and somewhat contemptuous smile on his face.
Liu Bowen, don’t even think about causing any trouble in Zhongdu City!
Not only will the Ming Dynasty move its capital, but the Zhongdu City built under his own supervision will take less time to build, and will be better built and more solid than the Yingtianfu City built under the supervision of Liu Bowen!
Liu Bowen wanted to fight me, but he was far from it!!!
……
"Biao'er, write to Yu Tongyuan of the Chaohu Navy and tell him that the investigation into the Chaohu Navy's illegal salt trafficking will be concluded in two months.
The matter was over.
However, he needs to be told clearly that this does not mean that they can do whatever they want in the future.
But the matter of selling illegal salt has been put behind us.
If they don't repent and restrain themselves, and commit other crimes again, we will deal with them without mercy.
We will always remember the great contributions made by the Chaohu Navy.
However, merits are merits and faults are faults. We should not be proud of our achievements, and we should not dream of offsetting our faults with our merits!
After this incident, if the Chaohu Navy still doesn't repent, don't complain to us when they are attacked in the future!
Even if we drink from a golden cup, we will never spare each other's swords.
By the way, let him keep all of this secret for now, don't make it public, and keep everything as it is. We'll know the outcome in two months."
Inside the Wuying Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and spoke out. "Father, are you going to let the Chaohu navy go?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "I never really intended to do anything to the Chaohu navy.
It's just that they have gone too far and need to be taught a lesson.
The Chaohu navy has indeed made great contributions. We would not be able to bear the consequences if it were to be destroyed.
Another reason is that the Chaohu navy has always been at odds with the Huaixi navy and they compete with each other.
We know that when the things done by Liao Yongzhong and others were exposed this time, the people in Huaixi made great contributions.
The more this happens, the more we cannot abandon the Chaohu navy.
The power of the Huaixi nobles is so great that there is no other force in the court that can compete with them. This is really bad.
As long as the huge Huaixi is not dismantled and put under control, other forces that are not on the same side as Huaixi must cherish them.
To put it bluntly, controlling the court is a matter of balance.
We must not allow one company to dominate and gain absolute advantage!"
When facing Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang could open his heart and say things that he absolutely could not tell anyone else.
He broke it apart and told it to his son.
"After the founding of a nation, how to deal with the noble group is a difficult problem that every founding emperor will encounter and must solve.
The nobles of Huaixi did contribute a lot in our conquest of the world.
It can be said that without this large group of brothers gathered together, we would not be able to conquer the world.
But then again, if it weren't for us, many of them would have died in the troubled times like weeds.
Nor can they enjoy the wealth and glory of today.
It can be said that we and they achieve mutual success.
But no matter what, the fact is that the Huaixi nobles are now too powerful to be controlled.
We need to address it.”
Zhu Biao felt heavy in his heart and nodded.
He instinctively wanted to avoid this matter, but he also knew that he couldn't avoid it at all.
He looked at his father in front of him and felt emotional again.
I don't need to face this matter directly, just watching it from the side makes me feel uncomfortable.
My father needs to handle it personally, and the pressure he faces will probably be even greater, and he will feel even worse.
Father, this is really not easy.
“We need to do this.
As the founding emperor, I still find it difficult to deal with my superiors.
If it were left to you, Biaoer, it would be even more difficult to face this group of arrogant and powerful soldiers.
We will pull out all the thorns that need to be pulled out and remove all the stumbling blocks as much as possible.
Let Biaoer walk more comfortably in the future."
"Father..."
Zhu Biao shouted, and the rest of the words were stuck in his throat.
Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder and said: "I am the emperor now, and it will be yours from now on.
Now that we two have sat in this position, we must be responsible for this position and for the world!
Otherwise, wouldn't the emperor be in vain?"
Zhu Biao nodded vigorously to indicate that he had taken note.
After calming down, I suddenly remembered something.
"Father, why did it stop after two months?
Also, why should Marquis Nan'an keep it secret for the time being?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Because your father, I want to catch some fish."
fishing? !
"Which fish?"
"Ming Cult."
Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, his expression suddenly changed!
