Xu Chengzong's old face was completely disgraced.
People who achieve this position pay the most attention to their own face and cherish their feathers.
You can eat and wait for death, but you can't do anything to cause trouble.
Being treated like a monkey was unacceptable to the Duke of Wei.
This is even more embarrassing than having Xu Chengzong take off his pants and fart in a busy neighborhood.
He glanced at Zhu Yi.
"Don't worry, I will resolve the trouble caused by the Duke of Wei on my own, and I won't let the court embarrass you."
"Wei Guogong, the documents are already there at this time. I don't think they will give up just yet. Wei Guogong, you still have to be more cautious. Otherwise, I will come forward to help." Zhu Yi said softly.
Xu Chengzong quickly refused and promised to end this farce in half a month.
After Zhu Yi received Xu Chengzong's reply, he still said: "If Wei Guogong wants to handle this matter properly, he must show some attitude. Only the old men of these families can't make things happen. Their families should also be treated as such." The eldest son and eldest grandson who is famous among the people are brought to Nanjing. Only in this way can things be accomplished."
After hearing what Zhu Yi said, Xu Chengzong felt that it made sense. After Zhu Yi resigned, Xu Chengzong immediately arranged for his own soldiers to bring those old guys from Suzhou and Ningbo to Nanjing.
Of course, the talented younger generations of these families were also brought here.
Zhu Yi said it very pragmatically. The old guys have lived enough. If they act rogue, he can't do anything about it. But these eldest grandsons of their family are like treasures. With them in hand, these old guys have worries in their hearts. When talking and doing things, he will not be easily agitated.
This incident embarrassed Xu Chengzong, and he was going to make these people suffer.
After Zhu Yi left the Duke of Wei's Mansion, he was not in a hurry to leave. He first went to Nanjing Longjiang Treasure Ship Company to check the progress. When he was about to leave, he saw an old acquaintance again.
Cao Jixiang has just returned to Nanjing from Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Both men were organizing fleets.
Zhu Yi is preparing to reorganize the Ningbo Navy, while Cao Jixiang is also preparing for a large voyage fleet.
Both of them came to Nanjing Treasure Ship Company frequently, but they never met by chance.
Cao Jixiang's long-distance voyage fleet can be said to be the largest fleet built by the Ming Dynasty after Zheng He.
His time is even longer.
It is better to say that it is a fleet than a sailing navy.
The number of people accompanying him as standard this time was 30,000, which already exceeded the number of people in Zheng He's fleet when he sailed to the West.
There are more than 30,000 people, including more than 10,000 navy soldiers, more than 10,000 skilled craftsmen from all walks of life, more than 6,000 original fishermen, and more than 3,000 death row prisoners...
Zhu Jianshen also knows that the New World can only be said to be a layout that allows the Han nation to advance. In nearly a hundred years, it will not substantially help the development of this country and this nation, and even affect the country in some aspects. development of.
But Zhu Jianshen also knew that this must be done.
Dealing with the native Americans at this time is a dimensionality reduction strike. At this period, it is most appropriate to occupy and conquer the American continent.
Moreover, Zhu Jianshen also had a plan to make the American continent a place of exile for the Ming Dynasty and allow civilians to travel to the New World at their own expense.
Of course, the mainstream group of people are still those who have violated the law. In the future, except for the heinous death row prisoners, the sentence can be commuted from death to exile, bringing them together, and then taking them to the New World together.
After Zhu Yi saw Cao Jixiang, she could only cancel her evening trip to look for flowers and flowers, and stayed with Cao Jixiang at the Nanjing Treasure Ship Company for two full days. However, at this time, Cao Jixiang was not very cheerful and in a good mood. Also seemed a little depressed.
When talking to Zhu Yi, it was also very obvious.
When Zhu Yi noticed it, he thought it was due to the slow progress of official matters, which put him under some pressure. He then made a very generous gesture and offered a treasure ship to Cao Jixiang's fleet, but Cao Jixiang refused.
Of course, Cao Jixiang's depression was not because of these things, but because of personal matters.
At this time, Cao Jixiang had just received news not long ago.
His godson Cao Qin died in Quanzhou.
A letter written by Zheng Zhiyuan, chief soldier of the Fujian Navy, to Cao Jixiang explained that Cao Qin did not restrain his temperament after arriving in Quanzhou. He molested a girl who had not left the court in a fishing village and was killed by the villagers with a harpoon.
The government has caught the "chief culprit", and Zheng Zhiyuan's letter also asks how to deal with the matter.
After Cao Jixiang learned about it, he immediately wrote back, saying that Cao Qin was responsible for his own fault, and it was not a pity to die, so there was no need to embarrass others.
At that time, Cao Jixiang arranged for Cao Qin to go to Fujian, thinking that he would take him to the New World in the future and give him an errand there.
Although Cao Qin is not Cao Jixiang's biological son, he has raised him for so many years. Even though he is useless, he still has a deep affection for him.
In fact, if Cao Jixiang's character was followed, he would definitely kill these villagers to vent his anger.
But after he returned from the New World, he felt that the world was vast and individuals were insignificant, and he had a new definition of himself.
In the past, he was very narrow-minded, a complicit eunuch, and an official who could help him. M.biQuge.biZ
Now our own people have been infinitely magnified. People who drink from the same river and live together on this land, regardless of their status, are all our own people...
When we were all in our homeland, we didn't realize it. When we left our hometown, we would have an inexplicable feeling of intimacy with people who came from the same place. Cao Jixiang was affected by this emotion, and everyone became Inscrutable.
Xu Chengzong acted very decisively.
In five days, eight old men in their sixties and twelve young men were all brought to Yingtian Mansion.
And this is also done in batches.
Those old men were invited and were the first to arrive, but the twelve young men were indeed brought by force with soldiers and arrived in Nanjing after the old men.
These eight big families have been officials and gentry for generations.
The most famous among them is the Ding family, whose ancestors once served as Minister of Punishment in the Hongwu Dynasty, followed by the Liu family, who produced three Jinshi in the Renzong Dynasty...
They all accumulated wealth and wealth when they were officials in their ancestral places.
These people look down on those businessmen who make a fortune by hawking and fooling people, but they value the wealth in the hands of businessmen and always want to take advantage.
After these old men arrived in Nanjing, they all knew that the paperwork had been exposed, but they did not panic at all.
They were in a boat with the Duke of Wei. If the boat was broken, no one could escape.
As long as they are unanimous in speaking out and insisting on Qingshan and not letting go, there is nothing Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong can do.
But when these people saw their grandson at the Duke of Wei's mansion, they became a little uneasy.
What does family inheritance depend on?
Talent.
All they value are people.
And the young people in the family represent unlimited possibilities. They will be named on the gold list, be granted the title of marquis and prime minister, and have a glorious family background...
