"Mr. Li."
Xiao Han curled his lips slightly.
Why is Li Shanchang willing to stand up for the nobles of Huaixi?
Do you still need to think about this question?
Just look at Feng Sheng, shouldn’t you understand?
He was completely held up in the air by Honorable Huaixi and couldn't get down at all, so naturally he had to wipe his ass for Honorable Huaixi.
Moreover, Li Shanchang was Zhu Yuanzhang's number one adviser in establishing the empire, and he was also the first prince who founded the country. He was naturally arrogant and thought highly of himself.
After that, if Huaixi Xungui flatters him a little more, Li Shan's tail will almost reach the sky, so he will naturally run for Huaixi Xungui's little shit.
However, in addition to being good at fighting, the children of Huaixi simply share the same brain when it comes to IQ, and this brain just chooses to be a flatterer to save trouble!
Ma De, at this time, it would be better for you to directly flatter Zhu Yuanzhang and be loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang than to follow Li Shanchang, right?
Neither does this brain.
Look at our Xiao Han?
How beautifully done?
His Majesty Zhu Yuanzhang is my uncle.
The empress of that dynasty, Empress Ma, treated me as her own child.
His Royal Highness, Zhu Biao, regarded himself as a biological brother.
The remaining powerful vassal kings were asked by me to go east, but they did not dare to go west.
As for the factions in eastern Zhejiang, Liu Bowen had to stay away from me for a while and did not dare to compete with me.
And then there are these brainless nobles from Huaixi. Haha, when have I ever put this in my eyes? Don't you have to respectfully call me "little sir?"
"Boss, Feng Xue, what do you think about this matter?"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes again, looked at Zhu Biao and Xiao Han, and asked softly.
"What do you think?"
Xiao Han and Zhu Biao looked at each other, and Zhu Biao took the lead to come out, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Father, I think there must be a reason for everything, but think about it, South Korean Gong Li Shanchang is already old, although he is still in court. However, both the courtiers and the Duke of Korea understand that this time will not be too long, so the Duke of Korea can maintain his official career stably."
"Besides, the salary of four thousand dan per year is the highest salary in our court. In addition, with the acres of land awarded by my father, for the rest of my life, I will be absolutely prosperous and wealthy, with no worries about food and clothing."
"Therefore, I feel that, firstly, it is due to the feelings of being in the same palace, and secondly, because he is old and his ears are soft, and he cannot bear the abuse of the children of Huaixi. Otherwise, with the style of the Korean prince, he will still With my understanding of my father, it is absolutely impossible for me to interfere in this matter."
After Zhu Biao's words fell, Xiao Han also stood up, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, slightly cupped his hands and said: "Wei minister seconded your highness the prince."
"Um."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say much, just nodded slightly and said: "I understand, we have nothing to do with you today. We are going to have a drink with Duke Guo of Song tonight, so we don't need to keep you company. Let's go."
At this moment, Zhu Biao was confused. Even Xiao Han frowned. What's going on?
"My son, please retire."
"Wei Chen resigns."
But the two brothers didn't think much and just left Kunning Palace.
"Old man, what does this mean?"
As soon as he walked out of Kunning Palace, Zhu Biao turned to look at Xiao Han and asked.
"What else could it mean? I'm afraid I'm not very satisfied with your and my answers."
Xiao Han shrugged slightly and said indifferently: "Anyway, you didn't get to the point."
"What's the meaning?"
"You also think what I said is wrong?"
"Then why aren't you in Kunning Palace to correct my problem?"
As soon as he got on the carriage, Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Han again, with a flash of doubt in his eyes.
"Nonsense, there are some things that you can talk nonsense about?"
"Don't forget, you are the prince, and I am the current prince, and even more so your confidant. If I don't even second you, how will you be able to run the court in the future?"
Xiao Han rolled his eyes, then looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Moreover, you are not completely wrong about this matter. In fact, you are only half right, but you only control half of the control of the court, so, The old man didn't say anything much today, after all, Uncle Feng is still here and can't refute your face."
"Is there anything wrong with the Korean public?"
"He was originally suspended in the air. After all, people tend to become soft-hearted when they get old. This is understandable, right?"
Zhu Biao still asked.
"This is a fact."
Xiao Han nodded and said: "Besides, Mr. Han is fourteen years older than the old man. He and his ministers have known each other for more than ten years. They even sleep together. How could the old man not know Mr. Han?"
"But you are the crown prince and the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, when you look at everything, you cannot start from people's moral character. Otherwise, you will be irresponsible to the world. In this case, what do you think about the matter of Mr. Han? What should I think?"
Xiao Han turned to look at Zhu Biao and asked softly.
"If you do it, you are wrong, and if you do it wrong, you will be punished. But this matter has been exposed, so there is no need to mention it again. But if something like this happens again in the future, it will definitely not be taken lightly."
Zhu Biao suddenly realized that as an emperor, he must control the overall situation better than all his ministers. The outcome of things must always be planned from the worst, and Li Shanchang is indeed old and has soft ears, so , will make suggestions for Huaixi nobles.
But from the emperor's perspective, Li Shanchang's behavior is not just that simple. So, is there a possibility that Li Shanchang is trying to win over people's hearts and wants to be Sima Yi?
Even though everyone knows, and can even guarantee with his character, Li Shanchang will definitely not be Sima Yi.
But man, how much is your character worth in front of the world?
Therefore, there is no other reason why there are so many ministers who died unjustly throughout the dynasties. It is because even if you cannot rebel, but you have the ability to rebel, it will not work.
"and you."
Zhu Biao turned to look at Xiao Han again. Just when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Xiao Han: "Don't do this, don't try to test me. If you do this again, I won't care about your mess." , I will go back to my palace to enjoy my happiness."
Immediately, Xiao Han rolled his eyes again, why do everyone in Lao Zhu's family like to play this trick?
Can't I teach you?
It’s okay if I don’t teach you?
What does Zhu Biao want to ask?
Xiao Han can figure it out even with his toes.
If this continues, then Xiao Han will quit his job and spend all day hanging his head on his waistband, while having to work hard for the old Zhu family. Is it worth it?
Anyway, the worst possible outcome is death. We can still enjoy a wave of glory and wealth before we die, so why bother running around?
Because, your old Zhu’s personality charm?
hehe.
It's not just to save your life, but if this life can't be saved, then whoever wants to clean up the mess of the Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with Xiao Han.
Besides, if people are really sitting at home, misfortune comes from the sky, so Xiao Han can also make a name for himself and be famous throughout the ages.
After all, he defeated Chen Youliang with force and defeated the strong with the weak. This kind of achievement will not be praised by future generations?
It is estimated that Zhu Di was able to appease the emperor, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and continued the history of the past. When studying history, people in later generations will definitely feel emotional when they turn to the page of Xiao Han, the Marquis of Suning.
If Suning Hou Xiao Han had not died, Zhu Di might not even be able to get out of Beiping Mansion, let alone Fengtian Jingnan, don't even think about becoming emperor!
But it is not ruled out that there will be people who will slander him. Anyway, Zhu Di conquered Mobei five times and his record is there. Who is stronger or weaker is all speculation. After all, Xiao Han and Zhu Di have never really met.
But what does this have to do with Xiao Han? No matter what reputation it is, the old Zhu family will never escape the ironclad fact that they are the officials of Xiao Han's country.
"I'm not idle, I just want to ask you how the Ministry of Industry's modules are being built?"
Zhu Biao rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Besides, I have always been very clear about the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Moreover, I can't guarantee that what the old man said is correct, but at least there is one thing that I don't agree with. Regardless of whether the Korean public Sima Yi or not, but I, Zhu Biao, am definitely not Cao Fang."
This is Zhu Biao’s confidence and domineering attitude!
Whether it is his brother Xiao Han, South Korean Duke Li Shanchang, or other civil and military ministers, they can all serve as Sima Yi.
But Zhu Biao will never be Cao Fang, let alone be manipulated by others.
In this regard, Xiao Han could only give a thumbs up.
It's still up to you, Biaozi.
With this domineering power alone, Zhu Yuanzhang made the right choice as the first successor to the throne.
If Zhu Biao can be preserved, the Ming Dynasty can at least continue its national destiny for hundreds of years instead of less than three hundred years.
"Then how do you deal with Sima Yi of this dynasty?"
Afterwards, Xiao Han nodded, then looked at Zhu Biao and asked, "Leave it alone, or kill him quickly?"
"Uncle Li has made great contributions, so naturally he cannot be killed."
"In addition, Uncle Li already wants to retreat and stop interfering in the affairs of the DPRK."
"Then just go with Uncle Li. After all, the Lord of Heaven and Earth is your teacher, and Uncle Li is your teacher after all."
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a moment and said, "But even so, we must warn him to prevent the Huaixi nobles from breaking the law again."
"Um."
"This is your business, you decide."
Xiao Han replied nonchalantly.
"Um."
Zhu Biao nodded slightly, looked at the guards outside the carriage, and said softly: "Go directly to the Ministry of Industry."
"As commanded."
the guard replied.
The carriage immediately drove out of Kunning Palace and headed towards the Ministry of Works.
"Initial template, how is the monetary value determined?"
On the way to the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Han again and asked, "Do you have any clues?"
"Of course, if you don't have a clue, you can't let them create a currency template. So, this is what I think. The initial basic template must be optimized in the future. After all, times have changed, and we must keep pace with the times. Make progress together."
"My Ming Dynasty mainly uses copper coins as currency, and gold and silver are only used for large-scale transactions. Therefore, the new currency we are studying is completely a one-to-one exchange model."
"A copper coin can be exchanged for a new currency, and the value is the same. It cannot be higher or lower. It must be completely in line with the market."
"So, for the amount of the new currency, I set it as one for one coin, five coins for one coin, ten coins for one coin, twenty coins for one coin, fifty coins for one coin, and one hundred coins for one coin. And one hundred coins per piece is the upper limit.”
Xiao Han thought for a moment and then said: "For the sake of convenience and better management, the quota of the new currency should not be too large. After all, if the quota is too large, the people cannot afford to exchange it. Let the new currency be exchanged." Currency is not only perfectly suitable for large-scale transactions, but also suitable for people’s daily lives.”
"Um."
"The new currency must perfectly replace the old currency."
Zhu Biao nodded heavily, and the currency limit Xiao Han mentioned was exactly what Zhu Biao had in mind. After all, if you want to maintain a healthy currency ecosystem, the common people are the main force, not the rich families.
"Running fast means flying. In the early stages of Ming Dynasty's reform, we must go slower. Laying a solid foundation is the key. Reforming the currency trading system is just a part of reshaping the national system. What follows is the key."
Xiao Han leaned lazily on the chair and couldn't help but sigh: "There is really a long way to go."
“There is indeed a long way to go.”
Zhu Biao also nodded with emotion, but he believed that all their efforts would be rewarded, and this world would usher in a truly prosperous age.
But while the two brothers were bickering, an interesting thing happened in Kunning Palace.
"Sir, we have a question. I don't know whether I should ask it or not?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Feng Sheng walked up to the dining table. After Queen Ma sat down, a flash of hesitation flashed in Feng Sheng's eyes.
After all, what Feng Sheng heard about could not be taken seriously at all, but as Lao Zhu's brother and confidant, he felt that it was necessary to remind Lao Zhu to prevent this incident from spreading too far. .
"Although this is a royal palace, you can treat this Kunning Palace as the commander-in-chief's palace. Just like before, you can say whatever you want."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand gently, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up a chicken leg for Feng Sheng, and then said with a smile: "After all, a home should feel like a home."
"Yes, don't be too restrained."
Queen Ma also smiled and nodded.
"Then let's talk about it, but we have agreed that you can't think about it, and you can't blame us. We are thinking about you."
But Feng Sheng still hesitated, and then he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Sir, as soon as we responded to Tianfu, we heard some rumors, rumors among the people, even among the civil and military ministers, But I assure you that Huaixi Xungui has never been told, or maybe I thought it was too nonsense, so I didn't bring it to you to talk about it."
"Why are you so nagging now? If anything happens, just tell me immediately. Why should we blame you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes at Feng Sheng and said.
Since the opening of the country, Feng Sheng, a man who talks and acts like a mother-in-law, is not as decisive as Wang Jinghong beside him, who is not decisive at all.
"Do you have a son named Zhu Ru?"
Since Zhu Yuanzhang said so, Feng Sheng didn't want to hide it anymore, and then he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked.
"You mean the fifth child in our family?"
"What's wrong, what's wrong with him?"
A strange look flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and finally he looked at Feng Sheng and asked.
The fourth child, Zhu Di, is still a young boy, let alone the fifth child, Zhu Ji. What else can he do besides being naughty and making trouble all day long?
But on this matter, is it still worthy of Feng Sheng to speak in person?
Isn't it?
Besides, what does this have to do with Feng Sheng?
"Fifth Prince, what kind of king are you conferring?"
Feng Sheng spoke a little cautiously.
"King Wu."
Zhu Yuanzhang said without thinking.
"What kind of duke or king were you before you became emperor?"
Feng Sheng still asked cautiously.
"Wu Guogong."
"King Wu."
"Bang!"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who originally answered casually, stood up in an instant, with a hint of gloom in his eyes. Then he looked directly at Feng Sheng and said, "Yingtian Mansion, what exactly is being reported?"
Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood what Feng Sheng meant. It couldn't be simpler. In other dynasties, the king of Wu would only be granted a title, but in the Ming Dynasty, this title alone could rival the kings of Qin and Jin.
There is no other special reason. It is because before Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he was first the Duke of Wu and later the King of Wu. Therefore, the problem lies in naming Zhu Xi the King of Wu.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was eager to know what was rumored to make Feng Sheng speak!
"Your Majesty, there are rumors that you have the idea of dethroning the crown prince, and it is very possible that you want to pass the throne to the fifth prince Zhu Ji. Otherwise, the fifth prince's title should not be King Wu."
Since the words had already reached this point, Feng Sheng naturally had no reason to hesitate, so he spoke directly.
"This is indeed a thing."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded lightly, then patted Feng Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Don't mention this matter to anyone, including the prince. After all, it is a matter of great importance and cannot be ignored."
"Old minister naturally knows."
Feng Sheng nodded first, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, hesitated and said: "This is definitely not the old minister deliberately provoking trouble, and I promise, there is absolutely no deliberate concealment, and it is indeed what I know today, and In order to make His Majesty believe that these people who spread rumors, I have arrested all of them and are waiting for interrogation by the higher authorities."
What is Feng Sheng afraid of?
It was not easy for him to dare to say this.
After all, no minister wanted to interfere with this messy matter in the court, especially the royal family, but today's crown prince Zhu Biao really moved Feng Sheng, so Feng Sheng opened his mouth to mention this matter.
Moreover, the person who spread such rumors has been arrested by Feng Sheng, in order to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from suspecting that he had known about it for a long time.
After all, Lao Zhu had started keeping small notebooks since the founding of the People's Republic of China, when he was still fighting. After following him for a long time, he would naturally understand his little thoughts.
Besides, as a talented general of the Ming Dynasty, how could Feng Sheng not be smart?
On the contrary, after much hesitation today, Feng Sheng has already tied himself to Zhu Biao's boat, unable to get off at all. And with Lao Zhu's love for Xiao Zhu, Feng Sheng will not only not be afraid of Lao Zhu, but also satisfy Lao Zhu .
Furthermore, for the sake of the country and the people, Feng Sheng invaded and occupied people's property, which he could never be clear about. Therefore, this could only be nonsense, but what Feng Sheng expressed was his firm support for Prince Zhu Biao and his support for Zhu Yuanzhang. Loyalty is enough.
