But Xiao Han always paid attention to Hu Weiyong's expression, and the glint in his eyes did not escape Xiao Han.
Immediately, Xiao Han shook his head slightly. It seemed that Hu Weiyong, who liked to be smart, started to plot Yushitai.
However, Xiao Han then thought about it and nodded slightly. The censor from Yushitai was seconded to Zhongshu Province. This was definitely an unprecedented opportunity.
After all, the official status of Zhongshu Sheng and Yushitai is to check and balance each other, so how can they work together.
Therefore, once Hu Weiyong can win over a group of censors, Hu Weiyong will be able to learn about any disturbances in the censorship in advance and make arrangements.
"Then let's make it this way. All the censors in Beijing from the Censorship Station will be transferred to the Zhongshu Province."
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"As you command!"
The ministers bowed.
"Furthermore, Minister of the Ministry of Industry."
Zhu Biao nodded lightly, then looked at Shan Anren, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and said softly: "Yingtianfu's trading market, the Trading Management Department, must be implemented as soon as possible."
"I understand."
"Your Highness, please rest assured that in the spring of next year, the trading market and the Trading Management Department will be built."
Shan Anren stood up again and bowed.
"The national treasury is sufficient now. Don't treat the craftsmen badly. The food for the corvee laborers will be improved from the original once every month to once every ten days. At the same time, two more Futai Yamen will be built and reserved for future use."
Zhu Biao thought for a moment before speaking.
Now that he has money, his back is straightened up. When he spends money, he doesn't even blink, which makes Xiao Han roll his eyes.
When you are poor, you are called poor every day. When you are rich, you are really generous and your words are well spoken.
"Old minister understands."
Although Shan Anren was a little confused, he still bowed.
After all, the current imperial court has sufficient budget. Let alone establishing two government offices as a backup, even if a hundred government offices are established, it will be just the tip of the iceberg for the current court and not worth mentioning.
It can be seen from here that the eastern Zhejiang party and the Jiangnan civil servant group really have no shortage of money at home, and even food is extremely abundant, which suddenly made the originally empty national treasury become rich in an instant.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang is smiling from ear to ear. When he has money, he is happy.
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Official Affairs."
"As for the determination of official positions in the Transaction Management Department, full power is left to the Ministry of Personnel."
Zhu Biao waved his hand again, looked at Zhang Mingshan, the official minister, and said: "There is also this memorial, you can take it and negotiate a result, but the content of this memorial must be kept secret. "
"As commanded."
Zhang Mingshan bowed and took the memorial, and carefully put it in his arms. This was his lifeblood. If he lost it, his life would probably be lost.
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Finance."
"How is the collection of food in Yingtian Mansion now?"
Zhu Biao nodded, looked at Lu Chang, the Minister of Household Affairs, and said.
"Your Highness."
"The Ministry of Revenue has already made a rough estimate, and the results can be calculated in up to three days."
Lu Chang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, stood up again, looked at Zhu Biao and bowed slightly.
Lu Chang has been feeling very proud of himself recently. After all, the Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of the world's finances, and the treasury from yesterday to today has been making money continuously, so how can he not be happy?
Anyway, Lu Chang has never been wealthy since he and Zhu Yuanzhang, but after yesterday's killing, the Ministry of Revenue has not been idle until today, and has been liquidating and summarizing.
"Um."
"Hu Zuocheng, Wang Youcheng, Zhongshu Sheng, I need to trouble you more."
Immediately, Zhu Biao nodded towards Lu Chang, then looked at Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang again, and smiled softly.
"My minister, I will definitely live up to His Highness's instructions."
Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang looked at each other before bowing in unison.
"With Hu Weiyong's character, can you really guarantee that he won't be tempted by Yushitai?"
After these ministers retreated, Xiao Han raised his eyes, looked at Zhu Biao and asked: "After all, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yushitai and Zhongshu Province have always checked and balanced each other. Even if they cooperate, they are nothing more than It's for investigation, but now that you have transferred all the censors from the Censorship Station to Zhongshu Province, isn't this a clear way to give Hu Weiyong a chance?"
When all the ministers gathered together, Xiao Han would not refute Zhu Biao. Even if Zhu Biao's decision was wrong, Xiao Han would not speak and would still support him to the end.
After all, Xiao Han is always a courtier and a princeling. It is not a very wise choice to refute Zhu Biao in court.
"I've thought about it."
"If he has the courage, then let him."
"During the holidays, I would burn the Yushitai for him."
Zhu Biao didn't care at all and still smiled.
If Hu Weiyong's claws really dare to stretch so long?
That is completely a path to self-destruction. No wonder Zhu Biao.
After all, as a minister, you must know what to do and what not to do, otherwise, if the emperor is unhappy, the minister will die.
"Um."
Xiao Han shrugged his shoulders slightly.
Sure enough, being the prime minister of the old Zhu family is really a dangerous profession. First it was Li Shanchang, then Yang Xian, then Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang, as well as several censors in the Yushitai. Which one has had good results in history?
Especially Hu Weiyong, who directly gave up the profession of prime minister and became the last prime minister in Chinese history.
"By the way, does your school need to be renovated?"
Zhu Biao raised his head again, looked at Xiao Han and asked.
"You'd better keep it and issue Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes."
Xiao Han glanced at Zhu Biao with disdain, then picked his nose and said: "As for rebuilding the martial arts hall, there is no need. After all, the infrastructure of the martial arts hall is already complete enough. Besides, the martial arts hall is not It is open to the outside world and is only used to teach the noble disciples, and that is completely sufficient."
This is simply because the beggar can't bear to eat overnight. It seems that Zhu Biao's character still needs to be improved. Otherwise, the money obtained by stealing and exterminating the family will be spent sooner or later, and the Ming Dynasty treasure money will be farted!
"OK."
"If you want to repair it, just tell me and I will have the Ministry of Finance allocate money to you immediately."
Zhu Biao smiled and nodded again, and at the same time, there was a flash of fire in his eyes.
The gentry in eastern Zhejiang and Jiangnan are already so rich. Wouldn't it be even richer if the gentry in the whole world were included?
If this can wipe out the nobles in the world, Ming Dynasty's financial revenue can be increased at least hundreds of times.
But then, Zhu Biao shook his head again, with a flash of regret in his eyes.
How can the nobles in the world be so easily moved?
Moreover, since yesterday's massacre of the gentry in Jiangnan and eastern Zhejiang, the gentry all over the world have been alerted. It is impossible for Ming Dynasty to seize the opportunity, let alone annihilate the clan.
"Let's talk about business. Since Mr. Li has agreed, you should study Uncle Xu and Uncle Chang. Anyway, as long as they can agree, the other dukes and marquises will basically have no problems. After all, Huaixi's nobles are all prosperous, and all suffer losses, and our uncles should understand such a simple truth."
Xiao Han shook his head slightly, then looked at Zhu Biao and said: "And these two uncles are now in Kunning Palace, plus the old man and aunt, it shouldn't be difficult to convince the two uncles about this matter. I’ll leave it to you.”
"Um."
"Uncle Xu and Uncle Chang have always understood the general idea and would not refuse if they think about it."
Zhu Biao didn't even think about it, he just smiled.
Indeed, when it comes to knowing the general outline and knowing how to advance and retreat, who can be better than Chang Yuchun and Xu Da?
Chang Yuchun, Chang Yuchun in history died early, but this could not stand up to the naughty old Zhu Chong. The eldest daughter of the Chang family was still the crown prince and concubine.
If it weren't for the Jiangnan Civil Service Group's mischief, Chang Qingyun would not have died, and the subsequent kings of the Ming Dynasty would all have the blood of Chang Yuchun.
As for Xu Da, there is no need to say more. He has never been greedy for power, and this is how he died a good death.
Of course, according to unofficial records, Xu Da was still killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, but Xiao Han sneered at this.
A roast goose?
Kill Xu Da?
Haha.
When a man was about to die, he was rewarded with a roasted goose, and he became the culprit of Xu Da's death?
How is this possible!
Moreover, Xiao Han sees the friendship between these brothers. Zhu Yuanzhang may be a little harsh on the ministers, but you don't want to think about it, who is too much?
Among the nobles in Huaixi, there were not many educated people, but there were many thieves. However, in history, Lao Zhu was always tolerant of these nobles in the early days.
That's not because we are all brothers who share weal and woe. Lao Zhu naturally doesn't want to imitate Liu Bang and Zhao Kuangyin, and wants his old brothers to die well.
But these lawless nobles are all extremely arrogant and arrogant, so they dare not do anything?
That is simply riding on Lao Zhu’s head and shitting. How can Lao Zhu still pamper them?
Totally impossible.
Therefore, after a few years, Lao Zhu refused to admit it. As long as you dare to commit crimes, we dare to kill you, and most of them are guilty.
But there were also ministers who died unjustly, such as Feng Sheng. His son-in-law was a prince. Although he had no sons, he couldn't help but Feng Sheng could survive. At that time, he was the master of the young country, so Lao Zhu had no choice but to wield the butcher knife.
Besides, after killing so many brothers, is Feng Sheng still missing?
Afterwards, Xiao Han sat in his seat and began to meditate.
Hu Weiyong is a smart man, but smart people tend to be too arrogant.
For example, in the past, when Hu Weiyong had not yet ascended to Zhongshu Province Zuocheng, he could only be respectful and respectful when meeting Xiao Han, and did not dare to go beyond the slightest.
But now Hu Weiyong can look at Xiao Han as an equal, and the light in his eyes is full of confidence.
This is the prosperity and confidence that power brings. Likewise, there is also confusion and arrogance and complacency.
At least Xiao Han could feel that the pleasure that power brought to Hu Weiyong not only quickly helped Hu Weiyong grow, but also eroded Hu Weiyong's heart.
Especially at that moment, whether it was the three great ministers or the right prime minister Wang Guangyang, they all looked at Hu Weiyong with a flash of awe.
Therefore, Hu Weiyong is still the same Hu Weiyong, greedy for power, and sooner or later he will lead to his own destruction.
Will the tragedy of history happen again?
The nobles of Huaixi cannot escape the path of self-destruction.
What about Zhu Biao?
Xiao Han raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Biao, who was handling government affairs, with a strange light in his eyes.
Even after doing so many things, the torrent of history still seems to be running according to its original trajectory, but it has disrupted the timeline a lot.
After all, if you think about it carefully, Yang Xian died, Liu Bowen changed his name, Li Shanchang was preparing to retire, and Hu Weiyong was about to become Prime Minister Zuo of Zhongshu Province.
As for eastern Zhejiang and Jiangnan?
There was a hint of coldness in Xiao Han's eyes, or perhaps a hint of sarcasm.
How many officials of the Hongwu Dynasty died?
Are the Jiangnan Civil Service Group and the East Zhejiang Party important to history?
At most, it can add such a stroke to the history of Ming Taizu to bring order to the Ming Dynasty, but it will also cause controversy in later generations.
After all, future generations will be able to decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong, and it is normal for each person to hold his own opinion.
But is Xiao Han willing?
After doing so much, are you still waiting to die in the future?
How could I be willing to do so!
Therefore, since history is going to repeat itself, and it is against Xiao Han, then naturally Xiao Han cannot sit still and wait for death!
"Biaozi, I want to ask you for a sum of money. Will you give it to me?"
Immediately, Xiao Han raised his head again, looked at Zhu Biao and said.
"sure."
"How much silver do you want? I will give you an imperial decree and you can get it yourself."
Zhu Biao didn't even raise his head and continued to deal with government affairs.
After all, there are a shortage of officials and busy government affairs. No matter what, you have to share some of the burden for Lao Zhu, otherwise Lao Zhu will die of exhaustion.
"Aren't you curious about the purpose of this money?"
But Xiao Han couldn't help but look at Zhu Biao and said, "For example, if I use money to drink flower wine, you don't even ask?"
"Don't be stupid, we are brothers, and it's not like I don't know your temper."
Zhu Biao closed a memorial, then raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Han angrily: "As for the purpose, you don't tell me, I won't ask, even if it's just for drinking flower wine, it's up to you."
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he threw a blank sealed imperial edict to Xiao Han, indicating to Xiao Han to make his own decision.
"In addition to giving me a sum of money, you have to issue another imperial edict."
Xiao Han's eyes flashed with a faint light, and then he looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Give me the post of Grand Governor of the Grand Governor's Mansion."
"Um?"
"Why do you want the post of Grand Governor?"
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then put down the pen in his hand, looked at Xiao Han, shook his head and said: "Besides, Uncle Chang is now the Grand Governor, which was granted by the old man himself. Even though I have the right to issue an imperial edict, but I don’t dare to be the master of this.”
Nonsense, Chang Yuchun is Zhu Biao's father-in-law, so Zhu Biao dares to let Chang Yuchun be the governor?
"Not only must the Governor be given to me, but the Ministry of Works must also coordinate with me. Otherwise, without any one of these or that thing, I won't be able to accomplish it."
Dao Xiao Han didn't care so much and still shook his head.
"Then I'm a little curious, what do you want to do?"
Zhu Biao glanced at the pile of memorials and pushed them aside. Then he looked straight at Xiao Han and asked: "After all, with your character, especially the military power, you don't want to do anything about it at all." Get involved a little bit, why did the military suddenly go out of its normal way and ask me for the position of Grand Governor?"
"Let me ask you, what is the Governor's Mansion used for?"
Xiao Han did not answer Zhu Biao's question, but asked Zhu Biao in return.
"Nonsense, almost all of the generals who command the army of the Ming Dynasty are in the Governor's Mansion."
Zhu Biao rolled his eyes and didn't even think about it.
This is the Ming Dynasty's exclusive military commander organization, the Metropolitan Governor's Office. The original first Grand Governor was Zhu Wenzheng, and was later replaced by Chang Yuchun.
"Well, are our uncles all in the Governor's Mansion?"
Xiao Han still asked.
"Um."
Zhu Biao nodded.
"Then what's my status in their minds?"
Xiao Han still asked.
"Young sir, you will naturally be in awe of them."
Zhu Biao said truthfully.
"Then if I go to the Governor's Mansion and become the Governor, can I restrain these Huaixi nobles?"
Xiao Han still asked.
"With your ability, coupled with the power of the Grand Governor, you can indeed act as a restraint."
Zhu Biao frowned slightly, but still looked at Xiao Han and said: "Just why should we be restrained? Since we have experienced the land clearing and the Liao Yongzhong incident, our uncles are not that perverse. I have become much more calm in my work, so I can rest assured.”
"Not enough."
"After all, their nature is still so arrogant and domineering. Therefore, if I want to completely turn things around, I must go to the Governor's Mansion. Otherwise, sooner or later, once they break out, it will inevitably cause a turmoil."
Xiao Han shook his head, then looked at Zhu Biao and continued: "Furthermore, if you can't cure the disease with medicine, it means treating the symptoms but not the root cause. It will have no effect and will give you more headaches." , it would be better to use a strong dose of medicine to completely calm down their personalities and concentrate on fighting for the Ming Dynasty, instead of occupying land and oppressing the people."
"I can issue an imperial edict to transfer you to the Governor's Mansion and temporarily assume the post of Governor. After all, the current Governor is your father-in-law and my brother-in-law, so you can only hold the post temporarily for a few days. , cannot be permanent.”
Zhu Biao thought for a moment, then looked at Xiao Han and nodded.
"Originally, it was only for a few days. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to Uncle Chang and the old man."
There was a smile in Xiao Han's eyes again, and then he shook his head and said: "Besides, I don't interfere in military affairs, but I want this governor just for convenience. Otherwise, I wouldn't go there." This is a trip through murky waters.”
"I know this, and I don't care. I'm just curious, what do you want to do?"
After Xiao Han finished speaking, Zhu Biao couldn't help but be curious anymore, and then he looked at Xiao Han and asked.
"Do our uncles read many books or not?"
Xiao Han thought for a moment and then asked with a smile.
"You're not talking nonsense, what do you think?"
Zhu Biao immediately rolled his eyes. Huaixi nobles are known to be the most illiterate.
Anyway, in Zhu Biao's perception, there was nothing wrong with the Huaixi nobles leading troops to fight, but reading and writing gave them a headache if they read too much. And to this day, there are still many typos in the memorials submitted, so what do you think of them? Do you read a lot of books or not a lot?
"This is the result of not having read books. Therefore, they only know one truth in their lives, and that is loyalty."
Xiao Han shook his head gently, and there was a flash of light in his eyes. Then he looked at Zhu Biao and said with a smile: "If you want them to study and study by themselves, they definitely don't have the self-control. They don't even have to think about it. If they can If you continue to read, the sun will rise in the west tomorrow, so if you can’t learn by yourself, then urge them to learn and strictly control them. If you can’t figure out why, then you will be punished, just like a martial arts school!”
