"Trash! Trash, at such a critical moment, he brought such trouble to me. For such a trivial matter, he was arrested and sent to prison at this time! How come this kind of trash doesn't die outside?"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Hu Weiyong, who had just taken a concubine the day before yesterday, and who should have been full of joy, was now furious in the hall.
And the reason is even more ridiculous.
The Ministry of Household Affairs inherited the former Secretary of State, Zhu Yong!
Such a small official in the household department whose official position is no more than sixth grade.
When completing the task assigned by the prince himself, he actually coaxed more than 30 families from the slums to leave the city in order to pocket some housing expenses.
Then he ordered people to be driven away and whipped, and these people were driven away so that they did not dare to stay around Yingtian Mansion.
After that, he also made arrangements for settlement expenses and land replenishment.
One person took all the compensation due to these thirty households as his own.
Being greedy, he also forcibly detained 13 of the women and one pregnant woman.
The intention is naturally self-evident.
This incident fell into Hu Weiyong's ears. In fact, it was just an ordinary matter.
However, no one expected that the prince would attach great importance to this matter.
Not only that, this matter was actually supervised by King Qin himself.
What seemed to them to be an ordinary and trivial matter had suddenly changed.
The King of Qin, Zhu Xiang, personally went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to investigate, and afterwards he directly arrested Zhu Yong and sent him to prison.
Logically speaking, such an ordinary case of corruption would not make the prime minister Hu Weiyong so angry.
But the problem is that this Zhu Yong is Zhu Liangzu’s distant nephew!
And Zhu Liangzu was a pillar among the nobles in Huaixi.
Now that Zhu Liangzu is far away and Zhu Yong is in prison, all the pressure of this matter naturally falls on Hu Weiyong.
He is now the leader of the entire Huaixi nobility.
After Zhu Yong was arrested, he knew a lot of dirty things.
If he couldn't withstand the pressure and caused trouble one after another, he would be in big trouble.
If you are not careful, there will be another bloody storm.
These are not the most painful things for Hu Weiyong. What really makes him feel uncomfortable is that as Zhu Yong, as his subordinate, if something happens, he has to stand up and protect him.
And if he couldn't keep it, everyone who would lose Zhu Yong would be the power he had secretly cultivated!
Interests are like a net, intertwined and tightly binding everyone together.
The advantage of this is that everyone has a common goal and can look after and protect each other.
But the downside is that once a fire breaks out somewhere, people around you won't be able to hide even if they want to.
But now Zhu Yong is like a burning point in Hu Weiyong's big net.
If this spark cannot be removed in time, as the fire gradually spreads, everyone will be involved.
"Have you found out the ins and outs of this matter?"
After venting his anger, Hu Weiyong finally calmed down.
After sitting down on the seat with a solemn expression, he sighed heavily.
Now his ambitions are getting more and more expanded, and Zhu Yuanzhang is gradually delegating power to Zhu Biao.
After Zhu Biao took power, he replaced many people in the court.
This made Hu Weiyong gradually feel the pressure.
But at this juncture of power struggle, something like Zhu Yong's happened.
He is really anxious!
And now that Zhu Yongren is still in prison, it is still difficult to deal with this matter.
And what troubled Hu Weiyong the most was that Qin King Zhu Shuang, who had been transferred back from the feudal country and was in a state of imprisonment and awaiting punishment, seemed to be particularly concerned about this matter.
Even though he was the prime minister now, even if the prince saw him, he would be polite.
But courtesy is courtesy, if the other party really gets confused.
As a prime minister, he was nothing more than that in front of the prince.
After all, the other party is an orthodox royal family.
He's just someone else's dog
"Replying to the master, the matter has almost been found out. What the prince told you this time is all caused by Lan Yu's son-in-law Chu Ze."
"Then Chu Ze heard that he was going to build a school, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arranged this matter."
"Chu Ze?"
When Hu Weiyong heard the word Chu Ze, his eyes suddenly widened.
You know, Chu Ze had just accepted his benefits before, befitting his uncle and nephew.
That was such a pleasant conversation.
Turns out it’s only been a few days?
Is he doing evil to his own people?
"Damn it, doesn't he know that Zhu Yong is mine? He still"
At this time, Hu Weiyong could be said to be getting angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and he was about to speak angrily.
He felt that Chu Ze was deliberately teasing him.
But when the words came to his lips, he was stunned.
Because he suddenly realized something, Chu Ze was born out of nowhere.
After high school, he was summoned to the palace soon after.
Then Hu Weiyong found out that Chu Ze was Lan Yu's son-in-law whom he had chosen a long time ago.
And it seems to be something that Lan Yu and the others have decided for this lifetime.
When Chu Ze was summoned to the palace, he probably dragged Lan Yu away.
After this guy came out of the palace again, he has always been mysterious.
It seems that he has been very close to the prince all day long, and he also has some contacts with several other princes.
As for the court... he seemed to have only visited once before and after, and in Hu Weiyong's view, the only time he entered the court was to act as a pusher and disrupt the vassal system.
After that, this guy faded out of people's sight again.
If we go by Chu Ze's movement trajectory, this guy is very big. Maybe he really doesn't know that Zhu Yong is one of his own.
In other words, he didn't even know Zhu Yong, let alone Zhu Liangzu who was standing behind Zhu Yong.
"Damn it, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple! That bastard Zhu Yong"
After figuring out the joints of everything, Hu Weiyong suddenly felt a headache.
From Hu Weiyong's point of view, what kind of school Chu Ze founded was simply nonsense.
Who eats too much and goes to open a school in a smelly place like a slum?
But Chu Ze just did it, and the prince agreed.
What is this for?
This is to pave the way for Chu Ze's political achievements.
He opened a school, and then arranged for a few people to go to the school, go to high school, or do something big.
Taking advantage of the situation, the prince asked for credit from His Majesty, saying how well the school was opened and how great Chu Ze's contribution was.
After everything falls into place, Chu Ze will naturally be promoted quickly.
They are paving the way for promotion!
As a result, the foundation for this road had just begun, but Zhu Yong secretly laid a plan.
After knowing this, Chu Ze naturally regarded the other party as his mortal enemy.
He stretches out his evil hands for no reason, trying to stop people from getting promoted.
How is this different from killing one's parents and destroying one's financial resources?
It would be strange if Chu Ze didn't punish him to death.
Hu Weiyong, who thought he had figured everything out, the more he thought about it, the more likely he felt that this matter was possible.
But he, who was originally bored, thought clearly about all the stakes involved.
On the contrary, he seemed less irritable.
At least, the cause of the matter is known.
In Hu Weiyong's view, all this is completely a misunderstanding.
As long as it is a misunderstanding, it is possible to resolve it.
Not to mention keeping Zhu Yong, at least Hu Weiyong was confident of minimizing the impact of this incident.
Of course, the premise is that Chu Ze can persuade Qin Wang Zhu Chong to get people out of the imperial prison.
As long as the person is not in the imperial prison, if it really doesn't work out, there is at least the possibility of abandoning one's residence to protect the commander.
"Hey, I originally wanted to trap and feed people step by step. But now it seems that it's too late!"
Hu Weiyong knew that the only person he could find for this matter now was Chu Ze.
The best result is to establish a connection with King Qin through Chu Ze.
After all, in Hu Weiyong's view, after he went to the fiefdom, he had always been the King of Qin with a lot of misdeeds, and he was actually a very good person to maintain a relationship with.
Flies don't bite seamless eggs.
This kind of thing that has already broken a big hole is much easier to bite.
"Immediately prepare a generous gift, and then invite Chu Ze to Lingyun Pavilion for a discussion. Remember, this matter must be kept secret. I don't want too many people to know."
"As commanded."
After Hu Weiyong finished speaking, he got up and went to the backyard to change into casual clothes.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of Chu Ze's smooth manner when he talked to him before.
He quite likes to get along with this kind of person.
As long as you give him enough money, his bottom line will become weaker.
At this time, Chu Ze’s home.
After the three brothers Zhu Xi and Zhu Di had eaten and drank, they all gathered around the table and looked at the things Chu Ze gave them.
Three books containing detailed drawings of the ammunition production line.
Because considering the construction of a production line, from hydraulic to stamping and other facilities, once it is built, it will be used for more than just stamping bullets.
So Chu Ze simply modified the drawing plan slightly.
According to his vision, this hydraulic stamping field can be directly transformed into other production lines in the future by simply replacing one mold.
Therefore, he couldn't help but increase his requirements in various aspects.
Zhu Di and Zhu Zhen didn't have much objection to this.
After all, it’s just a matter of investing more money.
Zhu Zhen's caravan not only traveled north and south, but also secretly set up shops in several big cities.
Otherwise, how much money can a caravan make just by running errands?
After Chuze taught him how to make soap, soap and perfume.
Zhu Zhen immediately arranged for people to work overtime and started working overtime.
At this time, many shops in Yingtian Mansion had begun to try to sell soaps, soaps and perfumes.
After initially entering the market, the response from these items has been quite good.
Especially among women, soaps and perfumes are extremely popular.
In addition, his fourth sister-in-law, Zhu Di's wife, was helping to make plans behind the scenes.
These two things have become essential items in the homes of many princes and ministers.
Although they set the price very high.
Money, to Zhu Zhen and others, is just a number.
"At my test site, we are already studying earth-made cement for construction. You lay the foundation and deal with the surrounding area first. I think it won't be long before I can make progress here."
"King Qin, in recent times, I want to recruit more orphans with no intellectual problems, or children from poor families who can no longer survive. I want them, both male and female."
"These people will be the first batch of students in my school in the future."
"At that time, the school will provide them with the most basic food and clothing in the name of the imperial court. Then their responsibility will be to read to me, learn knowledge, and become the first supporters of my academic discipline in the future."
"Of course, if you don't have money, you can use what I have here first. If you don't have enough, ask Brother Liu to get it."
"It's really not enough. I'll go find your elder brother again."
"The same goes for the construction of the school. Let's lay the foundation first. King Qin, please find someone to help me keep an eye on it. There must be no problems with the construction of the school. I don't want the classroom to suddenly collapse when my children are in class in the future. ”
“These people are my hard work!”
Although Chu Ze is about the same age as Zhu Ping and the others, he doesn't know if it's because he has been following him around for so long.
Or it's because Chu Ze knows a lot more things in his mind.
When he spoke, whether it was Zhu Ping who was supposed to be eccentric or Zhu Di who was domineering, it was he who said something and they nodded.
After Chu Ze arranged the task, the three brothers took their things and got up and left directly.
Because Zhu Di basically trains every day, Zhu Zhen is mostly busy with the ammunition production line.
It was rare that he had time today, so he naturally started to worry about it.
As soon as the three brothers left, a guy who surprised Chu Ze came to visit them.
The most important thing is that this guy came from the back door.
Even when walking, he couldn't stop looking around.
There was a sneaky aura all over his body.
In Chu Ze's words, you can tell at a glance that this guy is not a good person.
"Mr. Chu Ze, my master is inviting Mr. Lingyun Pavilion to a gathering today. I hope you will honor me by coming!"
"Lingyun Pavilion? Your master?"
When the concierge led the other party to Chu Ze, Chu Ze couldn't help but frown after hearing what the other party said.
It wasn't that he thought there was anything wrong, the main reason was that he had never heard of Lingyun Pavilion.
While talking, the other party also directly handed an envelope to Chu Ze.
Chu Ze opened it and saw a few words written on it.
"My dear nephew, can you please show me your favor for a while?"
Nephew
As soon as this title came out, Chu Ze also roughly knew who was looking for him.
The only person who can call him that is the God of Wealth in the entire Yingtian Mansion.
However, what puzzled Chu Ze was that this guy had only given him a big gift two days ago.
Why did you find me again today?
Could it be that he regretted it and wanted to get the money back from himself?
When he thought of this possibility, Chu Ze hesitated.
To go or not to go?
What if he wanted to send money again, and wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't go?
But, what if you want to get your money back?
No matter, just go there.
If it's someone who wants money, then just cheat on it; if it's someone who's giving money, then he'll be disrespectful!
After making up his mind, Chu Ze directly greeted the accompanying guards, and he also specially brought two of his personal maids with him.
One is the egret, and she is the target.
The second is the Spring Equinox, she is obviously Lao Zhu's person.
Bring them all, be safe.
Please support me with a monthly ticket! I haven’t asked for it for a long time. Guys, why don’t you come here?
