First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 576

After three generations, they were removed from the jade book, and they were not regarded as imperial relatives, just like ordinary people.

Ordinary people's children still have to inherit the family business, enjoy the inheritance, the royal golden branches and jade leaves, what else do you want at this point?

The prince, who has the ability to develop, will go outside to establish a country and grant the status of a kingdom.

Those who are not able to develop, stay in the country, and are treated like a princess, and only enjoy a salary. After five generations, they will have to withdraw their royal status and become ordinary people.

In this way, although there is still a lot of expenses, it is basically impossible for a million-dollar clan to eat up the finances. Five generations can't reproduce so many at all, and the amount is limited all at once.

And if they are able to go out, their salary will be left over, and a lot of trouble will be saved, needless to say the benefits.

The most important thing is that this is not exclusive to the Zhu family. All nobles, including the sons of nobles, have this opportunity. If they have the ability, they can go out and explore, build a country by themselves, be the leader of the country, do whatever they want, and do whatever they want.

At this point, it can be regarded as a complete realization of Zhang Ximeng's idea mentioned earlier.

The Ming Dynasty in the future will become super complicated.

A core land of China, guarded by a bunch of kingdoms, besides the kingdom, there are principalities, marquis states, and uncle states... layer upon layer, probably not for professional research, so I can't figure it out.

But no matter how complicated it is, these countries will almost always follow the way of China and honor the Lord of the Central Plains.

This is the source of large-scale outward expansion since Huayun went to Ryukyu and Li Shanchang, governor of Korea... Today's Ming Dynasty also has this strength, and the domestic conditions are basically met.

Everything is so just right.

Lao Zhu can be regarded as conforming to the trend now, making a final decision.

The last time Tang Lu and others were dealt with, Xungui stood up to oppose them, feeling that they were too mean to them. With Huayun going out to sea, the storm subsided. This time, the scale was larger and the benefits released were more, so the problem was natural It will be easier to handle.

Even Zhang Ximeng marveled at Lao Zhu's wisdom.

It's really good, it can be regarded as learning all my routines.

Zhang Ximeng was more relieved, Madam's belly was getting bigger day by day, Zhang Ximeng was really a little puzzled, maybe Zhang Dingbian was right, the more she looked, the more she looked like twins.

If that's the case, I will make a lot of money, but my wife is too hard.

Zhang Ximeng spared a lot of time to take care of his wife.As for Zhang Chengtian, he was running around, and every day he came back, he would bring some snacks for his wife.

Needless to say, Ying Tian let this bastard figure it out, he knows exactly where there is something delicious.

"Mother, do you think my father can be regarded as honorable?"

Jiang Nan couldn't help laughing, "Your father is not only a noble, but also the most honorable one among the nobles!"

Zhang Chengtian thought for a while, and then said: "Then, can my father also establish a country overseas?"

Before Jiang Nan could answer, Zhang Ximeng came in with a pot of grapes.

"No! I don't have that kind of thought, and I don't want to suffer. In the future, Daming will grow bigger and bigger. I should calm down and think about how to rule such a huge country, and how to arrange it so that Huaxia can grow stronger. .All in all, I don't think about my country!"

Zhang Chengtian was dumbfounded, "Father, if you don't go out to build a country, my elder brother won't either! With his temper, he promises to be a teacher wholeheartedly!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Indeed, why don't you try it, kid?"

Zhang Chengtian was startled, rolled his eyes, jumped up, and rushed out screaming. After a while, he came back with a book of Sun Tzu's Art of War, and then sat down beside his old lady in a serious manner.

"Third brother, the future of our family depends on you. Listen obediently. The second elder brother will read to you Sun Tzu's art of war. You must remember well: soldiers are important matters for the country, the land of death and life, and the way of life and death. don't notice..."

Before Zhang Chengtian finished reading, he was hit hard on the forehead!

Zhang Ximeng was so angry that he thought that you kid had to study hard and learn the art of war by yourself, so he dared to bully your third brother!You can also deal with unborn children, can you be a human being?

Facing Zhang Ximeng's fist, Zhang Chengtian still persevered, "Okay, that's it for today, and the second brother will come to read for you tomorrow!"

This kid also showed perseverance and worked hard for more than ten days in a row, focusing on giving prenatal education to his third brother.

It's just that there was one thing that disrupted Zhang Chengtian's plan, his elder brother was coming back!

That's right, not only Zhang Shuning, but Zhu Di, His Royal Highness King Yan is also coming back.

If anyone is dissatisfied with this reform, it must be Zhu Di.

Since Beiping was within the Great Wall, he had to move away, either to Kaiping City in Shangdu, or to Liaoyang, anyway, he was going to a place that was more bitter and cold.

The hard-earned foundation, Peking University, steel mill, ordnance factory, tax card, normal school, Dagu Wharf... and many other things, including his palace, will all be deprived.

Years of painstaking efforts, swept away.

Is there anything worse than this?

Zhu's fourth brother is simply a bloody mold!

But he had no choice but to go to Beijing to thank him.

Zhang Shuning was afraid that Zhu Di would lose control of his emotions, so he accompanied him to Beijing. By the way, he planned to tell his father to make up for Zhu Di, otherwise, he would be really pitiful.

Everyone else thought so, but Zhang Chengtian didn't.

What's so pitiful about Zhu Di?

He was tossing about so many things, jumping up and down, making the world restless.After enjoying so much, now he just gave up Beiping and asked him to change places. Could it be that if he went to Kaiping City, he would starve?

I can't!

Moreover, Zhu Di originally ruled three or four provinces, anyone can see the danger, and this young master wants to find fault with Zhu Di.

Now that Zhu Di gave up Beiping, it was equivalent to avoiding disaster for himself. What's wrong?

What is really pitiful are those little princes, and many of them wear crotch pants. When they grow up, they will find that even good places like Kaiping and Liaoyang are gone, and they need to go to farther places.

By the way, there is my third brother in this group of people.

That's right, my third brother also needs a piece of land, and it must be the most affluent place in the world, and it can't be worse than the Central Plains.

Zhang Chengtian even went to his father's study to study the map to see which one would be best included in his own territory.In Zhang Chengtian's view, the third brother's is his, and this place, no matter what, is better than Zhu Di's Beiping.

While Zhang Chengtian was thinking about all this, Zhu Di went to Beijing.

It can be clearly felt that Zhu Di's air pressure is a little low, and he can hardly hide his alienation and loss in the city he is very familiar with.

"Shu Ning, everyone despises me as Zhu Di's insanity. As a result, I have worked so hard, and all the wealth I have built will be taken away. Do you think this is fair?"

Zhang Shuning smiled helplessly, "I don't know either, but let me say that His Majesty still has a public heart, for the good of Ming Dynasty, and for the foundation of generations to come. As a citizen of Ming Dynasty, I can't fault it. On the contrary, I still I admire His Majesty."

Zhu Di was startled, and smiled helplessly, "Since you've said that, what else do I have to say, this is fate! I admit it!"

Zhang Shuning pondered for a while, and then said: "Don't be too sad. Whether a place can develop well depends not only on its own talent, but also on people's abilities. Don't worry about your talents. I will also find a way to help you cultivate them. Talents, and Junior Sister Xia, let’s figure out a way together, no matter how bitter and cold the place is, we can build a better place than Yingtian! Don’t worry! "

Zhu Di gritted his teeth, "I know, don't worry, this difficulty can't defeat me! No one can defeat me!"

Zhu Di kept encouraging himself, and finally recovered a bit of state.

After just a drink, Zhu Di was still drunk. After being drunk, Zhu Di cried and laughed again, and his whole body was not well.

He lived in Zhang's residence, and Zhang Chengtian even drank two cups with him.Generally speaking, Zhang Chengtian despises Zhu Di, so go ahead and have fun!If I hadn't given up on Peiping now, I would have kicked you out of Peiping in a few years. Waiting for me to make a move would not be the case now.

Several people got together, Zhang Shuning was the worst drinker, but his wine quality was not bad, so he went to sleep when he was confused, and asked Zhang Chengtian to greet Zhu Di.

This guy Zhu Di's wine quality is too bad, after drinking for a while, he even yelled to go out, Zhang Chengtian had no choice but to accompany him, and the two guys came to the street.

Zhu Di first wanted to go to the theater, and then he said he would go boating on the Qinhuai River. Unfortunately, he didn't go anywhere, and he was still hungry.

"Zhang Chengtian, I want to eat buns, let's eat them, meat buns!"

Zhang Chengtian casually touched his pocket, it was broken, in order to meet Zhu Di, he changed his clothes and did not bring any money!

"Let's go, go home first, and let someone buy it for you later, okay?"

Zhu Di also became stubborn, "Who says you can't eat if you don't have money? We can steal it, we can rob it! They took away my Beiping! Such a good Beiping, the Beiping I worked so hard to build... that's it Lost, my blood!"

Zhang Chengtian rolled his eyes, is that your Beiping?That's Daming's, right?

Although you also have credit, this credit is not the capital of your wildness!

"Stop making trouble, go back!"

Zhu Di, who had drunk too much, refused to listen, and actually went to a steamed stuffed bun shop.Taking advantage of the moment when the boss was turning his head, Zhu Di stretched out his hand, grabbed two buns, and stuffed them into his arms.

Then he staggered away quickly, and smiled at Zhang Chengtian, "Well, I can get back what I lost!"

Zhang Chengtian glared at Zhu Di, wondering if this guy was really drunk, Zhang Chengtian smiled slightly, "Okay, don't worry, with me here, you don't want to succeed!"

Zhang Chengtian pulled Zhu Di back to the bun stand.

Zhu Di thought that Zhang Chengtian wanted to expose him, but he didn't take it seriously. Anyway, the big deal would be double the money, and he would make a fool of himself if he made a fool of himself.

But Zhang Chengtian didn't follow the routine at all, he gritted his teeth at the boss and said, "Boss, I'll do a trick for you, do you want to see it?"

The boss was taken aback, "What trick?"

"Give me two buns."

The boss was skeptical, since it wasn't that expensive anyway, he gave it to Zhang Chengtian.In the next second, Zhang Chengtian ate all the buns in two mouthfuls, clean.

The boss was puzzled, "Where is the trick?"

"A trick? Now is the moment to witness the miracle... Those two buns are here!" He stretched out his hand and tore open Zhu Di's lapel...

Chapter 800 Debt, Lao Zhu Back

Not surprisingly, Zhang Chengtian was beaten, and his elder brother chased and beat him, causing him to run around in the yard, jumping around like a dog.

On the contrary, it was Zhu Di, who looked very interesting, and actually stopped him, "Sunning, he didn't do anything serious, please forgive him!"

Zhang Shuning was out of breath, and said angrily: "Zhang Chengtian, King Yan is messing around drunk, and you are making trouble too, and making it even bigger! Is this the way to treat guests? Is this the way to be a minister? I found that you are getting more and more The more you have no rules, I will never let you go!"

Zhang Shuning taught him a few words viciously, then turned around and sat next to Zhu Di, "King Yan, I will tell my father when I turn around, ask the family law to deal with him severely!"

Zhu Di waved his hands again and again, and said with a smile: "No need, really no need... Actually, I quite like Cheng Tian's character, you might as well ask, would he like to work in the Yan Palace?"

Zhang Shuning was stunned, and said to himself, what do you want this kid for?It's not worth your life to be mad?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chengtian said unceremoniously: "Zhu Di, don't think about it, I have long been one of His Majesty's people, and now I am the commander!"

Zhang Chengtian said again: "Brother, in fact, you have already committed the following crimes. I don't need to pursue it, but if we let our father know, it may not be a good fruit for you. I advise you, you'd better be polite to me, otherwise the consequences will be very serious." serious!"

"Shut up!" Zhang Shuning suddenly stood up, you bastard, how dare you pretend to be garlic with me?Even if you go to heaven, I will still beat you!

Zhu Di still didn't know about Zhang Chengtian's appointment as a commander, so he felt a little disappointed after hearing what he said.

"Hey, if I knew you were so fun, I should have taken you to Peiping. We're a perfect match, that would be great!"

Zhang Chengtian snorted, "Then don't think about it, I'm fine in Yingtian. This area gathers the north and the south, and there are a lot of delicious food. When I go to Beiping, I eat roasted whole lamb every day. I'm afraid I can't bear it!"

Zhu Di laughed, "Actually, it's not just roasted whole lamb, there are also deer tendons, flying dragons, and so many good things! It's a pity that I have to leave Beiping too, so I have no choice but to stay."

Hearing this, Zhang Shuning was slightly taken aback. He was drunk yesterday. After a night of rest, he regained his energy and couldn't help but said to Zhu Di: "Actually, I have talked a lot with Senior Brother Hu, and Senior Brother Hu also thinks , Abandoning Peiping now may not be a good thing."

Zhu Di was stunned, and had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Shu Ning, you know how much I have poured my heart and soul into Beiping!"

"But you are also in debt of tens of millions!"

Zhu Di was startled, a little surprised.

Zhang Shuning continued: "If you can take the opportunity to divest the debt and dump it to the imperial court, then no matter whether you go to Liaoyang or Kaiping, you can still use the personnel and market in Beiping, which can not only benefit you, but also avoid its harm. ! Do you think this is still a big profit?"

Zhu Di was stunned, as if he still had something to say.

"Shu Ning, do you have any brilliant ideas?"

Zhang Shuning said: "My method is also very simple, that is, to strip off the debts, transfer them from Prince Yan's Mansion to the left-behind department, and then transfer them to the chief envoy..."

Zhang Shuning wanted to continue talking when he suddenly realized that there was another guy next to him!

"Go away, don't let me see you."

Zhang Cheng's weather was bad, "Brother, I'm your own younger brother! You can't just sit by Zhu Di's side and ignore me!"

Zhang Shuning snorted coldly, "You can't listen to this! If you dare to talk nonsense with me, I'll beat you!"

Facing the stick in the elder brother's hand, Zhang Chengtian had no idea at all, so he could only run away in despair.While running, Zhang Chengtian also scolded.

Zhu Di picked up a lot of money and even helped him seek benefits. The eldest brother is also a fool with a clear mind.

Zhang Chengtian was thinking about who to complain to.

Anyway, he saw that Zhu Di was not a good person, and in his position, he should punish evil and promote good.

"You want to do good deeds, you want to punish evil and promote good, why don't you trouble Lan Yu and Li Shanchang, why are you staring at Zhu Di?"

Zhang Chengtian pouted helplessly, "Those two are too strong! The boy is no match for them!"

Zhang Ximeng is really helpless, this son is still too tender.

You have to mature!
