"Wei Chen pleads guilty!"
Wang Guangyang raised his chest and raised his head and confessed loudly.
"In that case, execute it immediately!"
"Come here, drag me down, fifty big boards, don't give a single board to Gu Shao!"
Zhu Biao shouted, not wanting to look at Wang Guangyang again.
"Wei Chen, thank you for your grace, His Royal Highness!"
Wang Guangyang's thanks gradually faded away, and he was dragged down directly. There were screams outside the palace door.
In the main hall, all the officials were confused.
Apart from.
Hu Weiyong was dripping with cold sweat at this time.
Zhu Biao's list of crimes had perfectly avoided him at every point. If he went one step further at any point, he could be caught out. If Zhu Biao didn't know what was going on with him, Hu Weiyong himself wouldn't believe it.
"Everyone, Wang Guangyang made a huge mistake when he was in his position but did not know how to plan his own affairs. Today, he will be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."
"I hope you will take this as a warning and not follow in his footsteps."
Zhu Biao said coldly.
"I will definitely take this as a warning and will not dare to offend you in the slightest!"
The ministers shouted that there were people involved, and their spines ran cold. Among them, Hu Weiyong was the most serious.
"If you have something to report, if nothing happens, retreat!"
Zhu Biao waved his hand and announced the dispersal of the court.
After the court meeting, the Prince's East Palace.
"Your Highness, Kuai, Cai, Huang, and Chi, the four families who participated in the plot to assassinate the British public have all been sent to Yingtian Mansion."
"Look..."
Li Heng said to Zhu Biao.
"have nothing to say."
"Tell Mu Ying and others that these people will be executed by Gu Hui personally in Ying Tian Mansion."
"Their nine tribes should not stay. I don't want to see anyone related to them in the Xiangyang area. Do you understand?"
Zhu Biao didn't even look at the investigation results and spoke coldly.
The idea is all about the Zhu family royal family, so there is nothing more to say, just punish the nine clans according to the crime of rebellion.
The main culprit Zhu Biao dealt with it personally. As for the small fish and shrimp on the side, Zhu Biao was not interested in dragging them to Yingtian Mansion anymore, and directly asked Mu Ying to capture and execute them on the spot.
"Remember to ask the local Jin Yiwei to cooperate with the work."
"Don't leave these rebel gangsters alone."
"If someone is missing, just take their head to fill it in."
Zhu Biao seemed to have remembered something and added again.
"Old slave, let's do it now."
Li Heng humbly agreed and responded to Zhu Biao.
He could see that Zhu Biao was really angry about this matter.
In the past, Zhu Biao always tried to dissuade Zhu Yuanzhang from killing the Nine Tribes.
When an empire is first established, it should be benevolent.
One is a pretty guy, and the other is a pretty guy, and they are both good at acting.
Regardless of whether true feelings are revealed, in short, the people below need to feel that the Ming Dynasty is a warm dynasty, which is very different from the Meng Yuan.
But this time, Zhu Biao rarely hesitated and came up with nine sets of Xiaoxiaole. It was obvious that he was really angry.
Please advise Zhu Biao?
There is no such thing.
Li Heng would not touch Zhu Biao's side for some unrelated people.
As a chamberlain, the most important thing is to be able to observe words and emotions, and do everything according to the master's wishes.
If you can't even figure out what your master wants to do, and you think you're being honest and speaking out, then why are you a chamberlain?
Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the court and become an official?
Zhu Biao was busy killing people, while Xiao Han was busy supervising his own factory construction.
After the troublemaking gangsters were dismissed, the place where the factory was built suddenly ushered in peace.
A large number of refugees were gathered together, and everyone gathered firewood. With the efforts of a large group of Ming people, factories were built one after another, and production lines were established one after another.
The last industrial chain of Ming Dynasty is finally taking shape.
In Xiao Han's eyes, what he saw were not production lines, but batches of jobs, accommodating batches of people of the Ming Dynasty.
At Xiao Han's level, he is actually no longer particularly interested in money.
Compared with the numbers flowing in the account, Xiao Han is more concerned about the changes in the industrial structure of Ming Yingtian Mansion.
Essentially speaking, in the field of building industries, Xiao Han belongs to the industrial school. He cares more about how many jobs and people he can control, rather than how many Ming Dynasty treasures he has in his account. These are all incidental.
This is the most fundamental difference between the industrialists and the capitalists.
One is essentially a businessman who only cares about making money, while the other is actually the ruling class and cares more about the impact on the situation and the stability of the industry.
"Not bad, not bad, well done. I'm very satisfied with the progress."
Looking at the report results given to him by Shan Anren, Xiao Han nodded slightly.
In just one day, a factory with three production lines was built, and the production lines were set up and put into production.
"Master Shan is truly worthy of being the minister of our Ming Dynasty."
Xiao Han praised Shan Anren.
"Your Highness is so complimentary. It is only due to His Highness's guidance and the hard work of the people of Ming Dynasty that we have achieved such results."
Shan Anren lowered his head and said modestly.
"Ha ha!"
"Master Shan is humble."
"Don't worry, your efforts will never be in vain. When our Ming Dynasty's industrial system gradually improves, the influence of the Ministry of Industry will inevitably expand further, and even the Ministry of Household Affairs will help the Ministry of Industry."
Xiao Han patted Shan Anren on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Others don't understand, but Xiao Han knows it very well. After agriculture is established, industry is almost the pillar that determines whether the country is strong or not.
If Xiao Han had not divested business in advance and established the Banking Supervision Department, Grain Depository and Market Transaction Management Department, the influence of the Ministry of Industry would have been even greater.
"Your Highness, please don't try to offend your subordinates."
"I am willing to devote my whole life to the Ming Dynasty, and I dare not ask for huge power!"
Shan Anren was shocked and said quickly.
Your Highness, you are testing me here. You must show your loyalty quickly.
"Well, let's go down, I'll be busy later."
Xiao Han nodded slightly, and his expression returned to seriousness and calmness.
I finally gave you advice from the bottom of my heart, but you actually thought I was testing you. Oh, it’s really sad.
As for Shan Anren's next investment and gains calculated based on the production line, Xiao Han didn't even take a look.
Anyway, what he wants is stable inflow and stable output. As for the changes in the Ming Dynasty's money during the period, it's just a number. As long as it doesn't turn into a deficit, it's nothing interesting.
"I obey my orders!"
Shan Anren responded and slowly retreated.
"Jiang You, Liu Sangou, ah no, when can Liu Zhuo, Ma Ze and Xu Zhuxuan arrive at the house?"
Xiao Han threw aside the detailed report and asked Jiang You.
"Back to Your Highness, Liu Zhuo will arrive tomorrow to take up his post. Xu Zhuxuan will also arrive tomorrow. As for Ma Ze, he said it will take another seven days."
Jiang You replied to Xiao Han.
"oh?"
"Why are they both so fast?"
Xiao Han said slightly surprised.
"Your Highness."
"Liu Zhuo was born in a peasant family and had no money to go back, so he wrote a letter to his family and stayed in Jinling City. The reason why he said tomorrow was because Xu Zhuxuan said he would be tomorrow, and he was afraid that he would be too conspicuous. , just explain tomorrow."
"Xu Zhuxuan is a scholar from a poor family. He doesn't have many things to deal with, and his home is not far away, so he can arrive tomorrow."
"As for Ma Ze, he is the son of a wealthy businessman and has many things to do at home. It is said that he has to go back and exchange several caravans with his family, which is quite troublesome."
Jiang You explained to Xiao Han.
"Oh, I see. Then let's arrange for them to come see me first tomorrow."
Xiao Han said, sighing softly in his heart.
This is the tragedy of ordinary farm families. Coming to Jinling is a one-way ticket. Liu Zhuo was lucky enough to fall into Xiao Han's eyes.
For those who didn't pass the exam, I'm afraid many of them had to beg for food along the way.
However, although Xiao Han sighed, he would not do anything more.
He is the British Duke of the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Han, not Guanyin Bodhisattva. He is not responsible for taking care of everyone, but is only responsible for maintaining the stable operation of the Ming Dynasty system.
Since you make your own decision, you have to pay for it personally.
It sounds a bit callous, but in fact, only if this system is maintained can more people live and work in peace and contentment.
Otherwise, once the Ming Dynasty is improperly maintained and chaos occurs, the world will be in chaos again and a large number of people will be displaced.
Xiao Han couldn't take care of everyone, so he could only choose to seize the overall situation and let the Ming ship keep moving forward. As for how many people were crushed under the wind and waves, it was not something he should consider.
Just like those powerful families, they are actually right. They just want to keep their family business. What's wrong with them?
It's a pity that if they stand in front of the giant ship of Ming Dynasty, they must be crushed by Ming Dynasty.
Because if Ming Dynasty does not crush them, it will be overthrown by them.
This means that when one is in his position and wants to govern, he should do what he should do.
The helmsman never looks at the scenery along the way, he cannot look at it, and he is not qualified to look at it.
When a person is alive, his responsibilities are his own, there are things he should do, things he should not do, things he should not do, and things he should not do.
"Let's go on."
"everything will get better."
"I hope that in this great Ming Dynasty, everyone in the world will find their place, and the people will live in peace and happiness. I can see that day. It also means that Xiao Han's trip is not in vain."
Xiao Han showed a smile on his lips and shook his head slightly.
"Snowstorm."
Squeak!
The door opened and Zhu Biao pushed it in.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Han looked at Zhu Biao and smiled.
"I have made arrangements for the people who will go to Lingnan to develop wasteland. Please help me see where we should start?"
Zhu Biao walked to the map of the Ming Dynasty hanging in Xiao Han's study, put one hand on the land of Lingnan, and asked Xiao Han.
"Here it is."
Xiao Han walked over and pointed to the future Pearl River Delta.
"Huangshui (the ancient name of the Pearl River) created a large plain here, with Panyu as the core. Tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of civilians developed it and expanded to the edge of southern Xinjiang, forming an oppressive force on the southern countries. .”
"Built along the coast, with more plains and less mountains, more moisture and less dense forests, it is a God-given land for the Ming Dynasty."
Xiao Han pointed to Panyu on the map.
"In this case, we still need to contact Liu Bowen."
Zhu Biao touched his chin and said to Xiao Han.
"Yes, he has been operating there for a while."
"He can be considered a local snake. With him taking charge of the arrangements, there will be less trouble."
Xiao Han nodded slightly.
"Fengxue, did you think that this day would happen when you threw him over?"
"Putting a great talent, Mr. Bowen, in Lingnan is indeed a wonderful move."
Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Han and asked.
"Of course, otherwise, why would I go to such great lengths to throw him over?"
Xiao Han chuckled and admitted directly.
"Hahaha!"
"You kid, one step counts as three steps. It's a great blessing for Ming Dynasty to have you help me."
Zhu Biao laughed.
"Where? Where?"
"It doesn't matter that one step counts as three steps. I probably take one step as seven or eight steps."
Xiao Han shook his head slightly and chuckled.
"You kid..."
"It's really not modest at all."
"You are really not afraid that a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."
Zhu Biao smiled and shook his head.
"ah?"
"Isn't it modest?"
"I was very cautious at first."
"It's just that now it's on the Zhu family's family tree. If we still have to tie our hands, it's hopeless."
Xiao Han looked at Zhu Biao and said.
"Um…"
"You are right, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will be able to protect you!"
"Anyone in this world who dares to touch you is my enemy!"
Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Han and suddenly said seriously.
"That's necessary, otherwise what use would I have for you as a brother?"
Xiao Han said naturally.
"Yes, we...are brothers!"
"To be honest, compared to the cautious Xiao Fengxue from before, I still like you now."
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said.
"Me too. After all, who would want to wear a mask every day if you can open the skylight and speak frankly."
Xiao Han nodded slightly.
"By the way, dad will go to court as usual tomorrow."
"My mother has also started urging us to get married. When I get married to Qingyun, can't you just give me some gifts?"
Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.
"Okay."
"I leave this British palace to you."
Xiao Han nodded.
"Get out!"
"Two words can't be correct."
"Then it's settled. When you get married, I will give you the British Duke's mansion and take it back with you."
Zhu Biao laughed and cursed.
"This is not okay."
"What do you think you give back to me when I give it to you?"
"That's good, you give me the East Palace together. After all, you only marry one, and I have to marry two."
Xiao Han chuckled.
"Go away, if you do this, I won't stop Lan Yu and the others from making you drink."
Zhu Biao rolled his eyes.
"It's as if you could have stopped me otherwise."
Xiao Han curled his lips.
"Seriously, have your parents told you when you will get married?"
Zhu Biao asked Xiao Han.
"Did they tell you?"
Xiao Han spread his hands.
"No."
"Mom and dad said that when dad goes to court, he will announce it directly at the court meeting."
Zhu Biao shook his head.
"Isn't that enough? Your Highness, the Crown Prince, doesn't even know about it. How could I know about it?"
Xiao Han spread his hands again.
"I thought my parents doted on you more than they doted on me, so maybe they would tell you something."
Zhu Biao chuckled.
"Pull him down."
"Who in the entire Ming Dynasty doesn't know that you, Zhu Biao, are the most stable prince in history."
"Executive Vice Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
Xiao Han rolled his eyes.
"low profile."
"You are the executive deputy emperor."
"According to the frequency with which I go to court, I should be the standing emperor."
Zhu Biao rarely said anything serious.
"ah?"
"You are the standing emperor, what is your father?"
Xiao Han was slightly startled.
"The emperor takes turns."
"Do you think I have more control over him all year round?"
"It was because he planned for me to get married, but my mother pushed me back. Otherwise, I would still be retiring and herding cattle in Fengyang."
"How can you think of him as an emperor?"
"Pack up the state affairs and leave them to the prince, and then go and have some leisure by yourself."
"I'm not afraid that one day I will directly rebel and usurp the throne for him."
Zhu Biao said helplessly.
"If you can really rebel and usurp the throne, I guess dad can push out all the artillery in Yingtian Mansion."
Xiao Han smiled.
"Hit me? Dad can bear it."
Zhu Biao said in surprise.
"No, use it as a salute for your enthronement."
Xiao Han shook his head.
"You said this, it is indeed something that dad can do."
"Tell me about him. He worked hard to conquer the world, but in the end he just gave up his throne to me and went back to herding cattle. How can there be such a person? What is he trying to do?"
Zhu Biao shook his head and sighed.
"Is it possible that dad's original ideal was actually to have a full meal and then raise his own cattle?"
"Father, if you do this, you will never forget your original intention."
"After all, our father is Zhu Chongba who herds cattle, not Zhu Yuanzhang who conquers the world."
"Now that Meng Yuan has been beaten away, my father will naturally want to be Zhu Chongba again, dragging my mother back to Fengyang, where his wife and children will stay together."
Xiao Han also smiled helplessly and said to Zhu Biao.
"fart!"
"He and his wife were on the hot bed, and he left the child here."
Zhu Biao rolled his eyes.
"Too…"
"There's nothing we can do about it. Whatever you gain, you must lose something. For such a big Ming Dynasty, it can't be left alone."
"Of course I can only sacrifice this unlucky child like you."
Xiao Han nodded.
Zhu Biao:…
"That's true, but can you say it more tactfully?"
"Otherwise I would feel like an abandoned child."
Zhu Biao's mouth twitched slightly.
"cannot."
"I'm a person who has one thing to say and can't beat around the bush."
Xiao Han refused directly.
"How about... you should go back to being the cautious Xiao Fengxue. In this way, I can still be the prince Zhu Biao and have a little respect."
Zhu Biao's face darkened.
"impossible!"
"If you want respect, go to court. If any of those ministers dares to disrespect you, they will be killed directly."
Xiao Han continued to hit the target.
"Are you also considered a minister?"
Zhu Biao curled his lips.
"It doesn't count."
"Didn't you say that?"
"I, the British Duke Xiao Han, your executive deputy emperor."
Xiao Han said and directly gave Zhu Biao a boomerang.
"Definitely!"
"I won't argue with you anymore. I finally found out. I probably won't be able to quarrel with you in my life."
Zhu Biao waved his hand and surrendered.
He felt that he was really dizzy and came to talk to Xiao Han.
Isn't this looking for abuse?
With Huaixi's eloquence, if he wants to defeat Xiao Han, he probably can only pull Zhuge Kongming, who is said to be able to curse people to death, from his grave.
Others, even Zhang Yi and Su Qin, would probably remain silent if they met Xiao Han.
