First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 608

Lu Zhou's day was absolutely relaxed, he could go to work whenever he wanted, and no one urged him if he didn't want to.Keep an eye on the counterfeit money on the market every month, watch the development of technology, and then the shit will be over.

A month's working time, when it is short, is less than ten hours.

But regardless of the lack of time, it does not affect the income at all... It can only be said that there is one unique skill, becoming a master of technology, which is indeed extraordinary.

Zhang Chengtian doesn't need to look for such a master, just ordinary people, let him roughly imitate it.

Then get it on the market, and sell it wherever he got it.

Others want a hundred guan, but he only needs one guan.

And not only the magistrate sued him, but he also sold those of the chief minister, the minister, the privy envoy, and even the king of Han. Anyway, as long as there is a need, he will sell it, and you will be satisfied.

This is not counted, there is an extra gift.

For example, if you buy an official with a rank of three or more, you will have grace, your wife will be Mrs. Gaoming, and your children will start from a hundred households.As long as you add a little money, I can give you a commander!

After Zhang Chengtian made such a fuss, the street quickly boiled, and on the third day, dozens of people came to trouble Zhang Chengtian.

"Little fat man, which family do you belong to? Who gave you the courage to come here to play wild? You are also capable of this business?"

Zhang Chengtian looked at this group of people silently, he was really a little confused, after so many times of rectification and distribution of tens of thousands, why there are always rogues!

"It's all about business. Why can't I sell it if you can sell it? There's no reason for that?"

Hearing Zhang Chengtian's words, the other party couldn't help laughing, "Little fat man, I think you are really confused! Let me tell you, you won't be able to do this business without anyone's backing! Come on! Give this kid some discipline!"

While speaking, several thugs were about to rush forward.

"and many more!"

Zhang Chengtian quickly waved his hands, "Don't be in a hurry, you have to teach me the rules, you are still short of the market!"

"Come on!"

With a loud roar, Zhang Chengtian suddenly rushed out of the houses on both sides, many strong men in green clothes, and surrounded these gangsters, and the leader was also a young man, Zhu Chun.

"What shall we do?"

Zhang Chengtian snorted coldly: "Catch them all, especially this thing!"

He pointed at the guy in the lead, and said angrily: "He, lock me up alone, don't let him eat, don't let him drink! Shut up for three days first and then...Grandma, I hate people saying that I'm fat! "

Zhu Chun quickly agreed, and after Zhang Chengtian became the commander, he also found a family background for Zhu Chun.

Don't look at him as an official with Lao Zhu, it's almost like a joke, but the jokes of Emperor Hongwu are not something that can be joked casually.

They arrested people, and no one really dared to stand out.

Zhang Chengtian finally experienced the fun of a dude, running wild on the street, doing his own way, grabbing him whenever he says, it's just too majestic!

No way, I have to eat a big bowl of shredded chicken wontons, double the amount of shredded chicken!

Zhang Chengtian ate happily, chatted with the little girl of the boss's house, and then turned to go home.

As soon as he arrived at the door, someone blocked him.

"Second Young Master, it's me!"

Zhang Chengtian looked up, "I don't know him, let's go!"

The person opposite almost died of anger, "It's me, I'm Li Qi!"

When he said that, Zhang Chengtian suddenly realized!

"So you are Li Qi? I'm sorry, there are only three people named Li Qi in our class. Go away! Otherwise, I will call someone."

Li Qi almost cried. Indeed, his name is a bit unusual, but besides Li Shanchang's eldest son, can there be another person who can stop you at the Prince Lu's mansion?

What's more, when I went south with Zhu Ying, and later got engaged to Princess Lin'an, we are also real sons-in-law... Why are you pulling me so hard, brat?

"Second young master, I don't mean anything else, we have a little misunderstanding, don't be angry."

Zhang Chengtian squinted at him with the corner of his eye, looked at him twice, and suddenly said: "Who are you who wants to hit me?"

"Yes, it belongs to me. His father is our coachman."

Zhang Chengtian snorted coldly: "Okay! You have allowed your family members to commit murder, your crime is not small!"

Li Qi became more and more aggrieved. To be honest, if my father hadn't left the court and you dared to bully me like this, I would have turned my back on me long ago.

"That...Second Young Master, I have inquired about it. If you want to sell yourself and sue yourself, if we have money to make money together, you just need to say it, and the big boss will be yours. I still understand this rule. Please look at it because of your father's love Come on, hold your hand high!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chengtian immediately turned black, "If you say that, then you can't say that! Someone, take him down for me!"

While speaking, the guards of Prince Lu's Mansion rushed up and arrested Li Qi directly.

What is the son of Li Shanchang, what is the king's son-in-law, it doesn't work at all here.

"Second Young Master, what should we do?"

"What to do, don't disturb my father, take him directly to the palace, and let me tell His Majesty."

In this way, Zhang Chengtian escorted Li Qi and met Zhu Yuanzhang directly.

A few days later, Lao Zhu made a decree. There are many thieves and sellers in the market, and the innocent people are deceived and suffer heavy losses.

A fine of 50 guan was imposed, and another 20 civilians were arranged to hand it over to the court as soon as possible for atonement.

"Chengtian, you're still not right... What if the local natives are used to plant sugar cane, they are familiar with the terrain, and they sneak away?" Lao Zhu said with a smile: "So, we still need to use Korean people as labor. Then Letting the Mongols take care of them is perfect!"

Zhang Chengtian couldn't help but nodded, "Indeed, you and my father have cheated Lao Li again!"

Chapter 842 The young master is kind

After Zhang Chengtian received the order, he was not in a hurry to release Li Qi, instead he waited for more than a day before wandering towards the prison.

"You can come out now, Prince Consort Li."

Li Qi was trembling. Although he hadn't been imprisoned for three days, there was more than one day before and after. His stomach was already empty before the water touched his lips.The clothes on his body could not withstand the cold and damp in the prison.

He didn't understand why the prison was so cold. It was clear that the wind was sunny outside, but after entering, it was full of wind from all directions, and it still blew into the bones.

"I said Second Young Master Zhang, are you trying to punish me?" Li Qi said seriously, "What did you arrange in the prison?"

Zhang Chengtian said with a smile: "It's nothing, just a little trick. I'll teach you, and I think it will be useful in the future."

Zhang Chengtian grabbed Li Qi and walked around the outside of the cell, Li Qi's nose turned out of anger.

His cell has no windows, but the windows are not simply pasted up, but a lot of broken narrow-mouthed jars.

The mouth is directed at the inside, and the bottom is removed, aiming at the outside.

In this way, the wind blows through the jar and comes out from the narrow mouth, which is a strong wind, and there is still some straw in the jar. Every once in a while, someone adds some water to the straw.

How should I put it, Zhang Ximeng's study also has this thing, it's an indigenous air conditioner, used to cool down when studying in summer.

As a result, Zhang Chengtian was moved into the prison cell, and Zhang Ximeng was used in summer. When he arrived at Zhang Chengtian's place, it was already autumn, and he added water to it.

This meant that Li Qi was young and in good health. If it were his father, he would probably meet Hades in one day.But even so, it still made Li Qi's waist and knees weak, his bladder slumped, and his prostate was blown up.

That is a tragedy!

"You, you are really full of bad water, you are too much!"

Li Qi gritted his teeth, wanting to kill Zhang Chengtian.

But the little fat man doesn't care at all, what a joke, even if your father can't beat my father, will I still be afraid of you?

"Li Qi, you'd better wake up, the two of us set out to see who is stronger... Your father is now the Duke of Korea, and he may be named King of Korea. His position is high and powerful, and he is indeed very respected. But my father has long been Taishi Lu Wang, especially crucial, my father is still in Yingtian, your father can only be released, this is the gap, you have to admit it!"

Li Qi remained silent with a livid face.

Zhang Chengtian said again: "Now you are married to Princess Lin'an. It is true that you are the son-in-law of Your Majesty. But I don't care at all. Your Majesty has more than a dozen princesses, but I am the only one of His Majesty's direct disciples! When Yin got engaged to Princess Ningguo back then, it didn't delay Mei Yin's head. If it made me unhappy, I would break up the two of you. Anyway, the emperor's daughter doesn't have to worry about marrying, so what's the good life with a trash like you? "

"you!"

Li Qi gritted his teeth, but it was of no use at all, so he could only stare blankly.

Zhang Chengtian continued: "Also, don't think that your father is granted the title of Duke of Korea, and that the land in Koryo belongs to your family. If you don't have someone to help you in the court, sooner or later someone will deal with you severely! Chief Assistant Sun Xiang Not to mention, Hu Weiyong is now in charge of foreign development affairs, as well as Mao Gui, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Luo Furen, the new Minister of Taxation. They will not let your father go, and Xu Da, the official censor , he also wants to take your father away and replace him with a lieutenant general to take charge of Korea. Li Qi, don’t stare at me for nothing, I don’t even need to do it myself, just say a few words, you two will be in trouble! Do you dare to fight with me? You deserve it too!"

The little fat man seems to have returned to the time when the teacher taught him a few years ago... Cool, it's so cool!

What Zhang Chengtian said was half-truth and half-false, and he really couldn't take it lightly.

In fact, Li Shanchang was released on the sack of guilt. Everyone knows this. Old Li was able to be safe.

Secondly, Lao Li is cautious in his work, and there are not many evidences of obvious mistakes... But then again, there is no excuse for accusations.If you really want to punish Li Shanchang, it is not difficult to find any crimes.

At the very least, employ people without looking into them, form cliques for personal gain, copy the Li family first, and then take your time, you old Li still think about it?

No matter how bad it is, bury some armor, crossbow arrows, and firecrackers behind Li Shanchang's house... This is the traditional business of the Arch Guard Division.Don't worry about peeling off your old Li's skin.

And take a step back, even if Li Shanchang is fine, will Li Qi be fine?

Can he successfully inherit his father's position?

If you really marry a princess, can you sit back and relax?

Stop dreaming.

And from the perspective of Princess Lin'an herself, is she willing to have this marriage?

In fact, ever since Princess Ningguo and Hu Yan got engaged, the girls from Old Zhu's family have all gone wild.

Although it is natural for girls to get married.

But as princesses, they couldn't find a suitable one, so they married rashly and bullied others, which was not beautiful.

Therefore, these princesses are confident and confident, and they have to choose by themselves, and they are not at the mercy of Lao Zhu.

Only Princess Lin'an, she is old, among the children of Lao Zhu, the first batch to get married, there is nothing she can do.

But if something really happened to Li Shanchang's family, Li Qi was unlucky, and he found someone else to marry again, so what?The princess of the Zhu family, with golden branches and jade leaves, is not very old.

Isn't this a matter of course!

Don't forget, in the current Ming Dynasty, the Confucianism has long since failed, and the one who re-interpreted Gangchang is Zhang Taishi.

It can be said bluntly that the life of the Li family is not stable at all.

Li Shanchang can die smoothly, but Li Qi can't do it either.

After figuring this out, Li Qi went to Yingtian, fiddled with him, wanted to get some money, and his intentions were self-evident.

If he went through this path, he could indeed get money smoothly, or even run it into a business, the Li family would have a little more assurance that he, Li Qi, could also run a power.

It can only be said that their calculations were very good, but Zhang Chengtian unfortunately broke through.

He also asked this kid to be arrested and thrown into a prison, where he was severely frozen for more than a day.

Li Qi, who has a long nose and a long nose, has to admit that times have indeed changed, and people go to tea.

His father is no longer useful, Grand Master Zhang is the one who really has the final say, even this little fat man in front of him is someone he can't afford to mess with.

"Second Master Zhang, don't say anything. I know His Majesty's will. Now, if you have any orders, tell them together. From now on, I will follow my lead and obey!"

Zhang Chengtian rolled his eyelids, and said sarcastically, "You're pretty smart, as expected of Mr. Li's son... Let me ask you, is it just your family who also betrayed you? Tell me!"

Li Qi trembled all over, and then said: "It's true that it's not just us, there are also Huayun from Liuqiu, Fang's family from Xiaoliuqiu, and there are several vassal kingdoms sealed off in Waguo. I don't know if they have any intentions. gone."

Zhang Chengtian listened silently. The biggest achievement of Daming's overseas development at present is undoubtedly Goryeo.His every move affects every other place.

Hua Yun of Ryukyu was the first governor to go out. He controls Zhongshan Kingdom. Although the land is not big, but as a pearl on the sea, merchants come and go, trade is prosperous, and he is also a piece of fat.

After that came the Fang family’s Little Liuqiu. In fact, interestingly speaking, Little Liuqiu itself was much larger than Ryukyu, and its area was even larger than that of Hainan.

However, due to a calculation error, it was thought to be smaller than Ryukyu, so it was called Xiao Ryukyu.

This is the place where Fang Guozhen chose to build a country overseas.

This is also what Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to early on, and Zhang Ximeng also encouraged outward development.

Therefore, after Fang Guozhen's death, he was posthumously named Kaitai King, and Fang's family continued to live in Xiaoliuqiu, living a very comfortable life.

At this stage of development, Daming will focus on two places to manage next... One is the country of Wa. Tanghe has already planted flags to occupy the land, and is ready to do something drastic.

It is very important that Wa country can provide gold and silver to Daming.

Another place is Luzon discovered by Zhu Ying. The island is small in size and the climate is hot and humid, which is very suitable for growing sugar cane.

Moreover, gold and silver are also produced on the island, which is a treasure land.

This time, the purpose of getting labor from Korea and arranging Wala supervisors is to manage Luzon.

"Prince Consort Li, Your Majesty wants Korea to send 20 people, can you get it?"
