The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 222

At that time, the situation is stronger than people, and it will be almost impossible to turn the situation over.

The eunuch delivering the order here came to Xie Shen's mansion, Xie Shen naturally panicked and rushed to the courtyard to receive the order.

To be honest, this was the first time he knelt down after coming to the Ming Dynasty, and he was very uncomfortable.

But when he thought of kneeling to receive the order, his heart became a little more balanced.

After receiving the imperial decree, the eunuch said quietly: "Your Majesty still has an oral order for you, asking you to write a separate memorial on the essentials of growing cotton on the tidal flats and ask our family to take it back to the palace. Your Majesty ordered the cabinet to write a report based on this memorial A document, and then issued a report to the southeast coastal states and counties to plant widely in the tidal flats."

Xie Shen was taken aback, what kind of thing is this, the Son of Heaven is going to compete with him for the patent of growing cotton in tidal flats?

Alas, the hearts of the world!
The majestic image of Emperor Hongzhi in Xie Shen's heart collapsed, and the boy's heart was bleeding!

Xie Shen wants to shout, Xie Shen wants to complain.
But to whom?This time, the person who asked him for the tidal cotton planting technology is the most noble man in the whole world. Could it be that Xie Shen could go to the capital to cry to the emperor in a fit of anger?Or is it bargaining with the emperor in the memorial?
Although Emperor Hongzhi was a sage king, he was also a king.

The majesty of the king is unpredictable, and the grace of the king is also unpredictable.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't know exactly what Xie Shen was thinking in his heart, so he didn't want to make a blind attempt.

No wonder Emperor Hongzhi made such a decisive decision. It turned out that he had this in mind.
Seeing that Xie Shen was silent by default, the eunuch coughed and said, "What, Mr. Xie is in trouble?"

Xie Shen shook his head repeatedly and said: "There is no difficulty, absolutely no difficulty. Xiaosheng will write now."

Xie Shen had no choice but to return to the study and drive out the memorial. After confirming that the words were correct, he handed it over to the eunuch who passed the decree.

Bullying the emperor will cost you your head. Xie Shen doesn't want to challenge the bottom line of Hongzhi, a benevolent emperor, so let's do it.

"Our family has to pass the decree elsewhere, Mr. Xie doesn't need to send it."

The eunuch who delivered the decree signaled Xie Shen not to follow with a push of his hand, and walked away swaggeringly.

It was only then that Xie Shen realized that Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi also contributed, so the eunuch should have gone to their residence to pass the decree.

I don't know how the two of them will feel after hearing the decree of grace?
Xie Shen collected the decree of grace and enshrined it on the incense table, thinking about the next plan.

Once the technique of growing cotton on tidal flats is popularized, Xie Shen's cotton planting in Yuyao will have no advantage.

According to Xie Shen's judgment, the imperial court will mostly intervene in any business that makes money.

For example, the establishment of the Salt Transport Envoy, such as the establishment of the Weaving Bureau.

The so-called competition for profit with the people has reached this point.

Although it is only being promoted on the southeast coast at the moment, Xie Shen believes that in time the imperial court will set up corresponding institutions to manage cotton planting and picking.

So why not make this suggestion before Emperor Hongzhi made a decision?

With his status as the first mentioner of tidal cotton plantation, he might even get a job as an official.

Since the progress of the matter is no longer under Xie Shen's control, all Xie Shen can do is try to make it develop in a direction that is beneficial to him.

Fortunately, not long after the eunuch delivering the decree left, Xie Shen rushed to the home of his friend Wang Shouwen.

Sure enough, the eunuch who passed the decree had just finished reading the decree, seeing Xie Shen rushing over, he was quite surprised and asked, "Why is Mr. Xie here?"

Xie Shen smiled sheepishly and said, "Just now Xiaosheng missed one item in the memorabilia, so I came here specially to make it up."

The eunuch rolled his eyes and almost passed out.This Xie Shen looks like a young man, how could he make a mistake in writing memorials.

He has delivered the imperial decree so many times, but he has never seen a minister like Xie Shen.

Uh, but it seems that Xie Shen is indeed not an official, so it is understandable.

There are excusable circumstances, and there are excusable circumstances, but it is not acceptable to scribble and alter the memorials submitted to the emperor.The matter was of great importance, and he couldn't stop Xie Shen from adding content, so he could only say: "Mr. Xie may as well write a new memorial and hand it over to our family."

Xie Shen nodded again and again, "That's very good!"

Xie Shen then went to Wang Shouwen's study to ask for pen and ink, and wrote a new memorial.

In this memorial, Xie Shen bluntly stated the difficulties of cotton planting, and suggested that the emperor establish a yamen directly under the imperial court similar to the Weaving Bureau.

Emperor Hongzhi knew the huge benefits at a glance, and he was bound to appreciate Xie Shen a lot.

After this incident, Xie Shen's impression in Emperor Hongzhi's mind will also be upgraded from a child prodigy to a Confucian scholar who can be cultivated.

Therefore, even if Xie Shen didn't get superficial benefits from this memorial, it would still leave a place in the heart of the emperor, which is not too bad a loss.

Xie Shen solemnly handed the memorandum to the eunuch who passed the decree, and only a stone hanging in his heart would fall to the ground.

Alas, the way to accompany the emperor is like accompanying the tiger. He had only dealt with the emperor once, and he understood the deep meaning of this sentence.

The Son of Heaven is the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. He sits north and faces south and hangs his arch. What is his mind can be guessed by ordinary people.

It is the lack of security and uncertainty that makes the courtiers feel that the king's prestige is unpredictable.

Alas, compared with being an official, the imperial examination is still a little childish.

Waiting to step into the officialdom in the future and serve the emperor around is the unavoidable storm, the unavoidable open spear and hidden arrow.

The eunuch passing the decree passed the decree and walked away, looking at the billowing yellow dust raised by the horse's hoof, Xie Shen smiled wryly: "Brother Shouwen, man is not as good as heaven."

Wang Shouwen also had a helpless expression: "Brother Shenxian, don't pay too much attention to what is destined by the heavens."

The two looked at each other and smiled, but they were planning to ask Xie Pi to have a drink together to soothe their worries.

Not to mention gossip, but said that after returning to the capital, the eunuch who delivered the decree brought the memorial written by Xie Shen back to the palace and presented it to the emperor. Assist Liu Jian to discuss this matter.

The monarchs and ministers talked until late at night, but in the end they still did not come to a conclusion.

Emperor Hongzhi meant to open an organization similar to the Weaving Bureau to supervise the cotton planting in the southeast, but both the first assistant Xu Pu and the second assistant Liu Jian strongly opposed it.

In the end, Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to resentfully decide to renegotiate at another time.

It is not so easy to be a Mingjun. You must know how to accept advice and have the courage to be decisive. It is especially important to know how to measure.

If the chief minister of the current cabinet is Liu Ji, an old minister left behind by the late Emperor Chenghua, then Emperor Hongzhi would not have any hesitation, but now the cabinet is full of capable ministers, and it is not good for Emperor Hongzhi when there are differences of opinion between the monarch and his ministers It is too arbitrary, so we have to choose another time to discuss it.

It is difficult to be a Mingjun, and it is even more difficult to be a Mingjun surrounded by loyal ministers.

However, Emperor Hongzhi didn't mind making some small sacrifices for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

In life, there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things. Even if you are as noble as the emperor, you can't change this.
