Daming: Lao Zhu is not dead yet, you want me to rebel?

Chapter 70



Chapter 0070 Dare to give Zhu Heng eye drops! Daming, there will be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!!

Hu Weiyong smiled lightly and said:”It’s over.”

Fei Ju said with a sad face:”What do you think we should do now? Mr. Li actually let go, what should we do?”

Hu Weiyong glanced at him. He said,”Without a butcher, we can’t eat pigs with hair on them?”

Everyone was stunned.

However, Wang Guangyang understood and immediately said:”Now that Prime Minister Hu is a member of the cabinet, we are the only one who can follow the lead of Prime Minister Hu.”

Fei Ju paused, then said with a serious look on his face:”Yes, if others don’t tell me, I, Fei Ju, will definitely follow. Hu Xiang.”

Hu Weiyong smiled slightly and said,”There’s no need to worry, the matter is actually simple.”

Everyone hurriedly listened in silence.

Hu Weiyong put down his tea cup and said calmly:”There are talented people in high positions, but they are eager to get things done. Therefore, what he values is people who can get things done.”

“Think about it, everyone, how did I, the noble Huaixi noble, rise?”

“It’s not because I’m diligent in doing things”

“The crux of the matter is here”

“Zhu Heng proposed many national policies, but if you think about it carefully, which practical thing has he accomplished so far?”

After the words fell, everyone was stunned.

“It really is……”

Wang Guangyang hesitated and said:”He has always proposed national policies, but has never really dealt with a practical matter.”

“good! Fei

Ju also slapped his thigh and said quickly:”If you don’t say anything else, let’s just say that if he is really talented, why is he still a small landowner now?”

“Why doesn’t he get rich?”

“This person must be good at talking but neglecting practical matters. His Majesty will not like such a person!”

“Goodbye Mr. Hu!”

As soon as the words fell, everyone seemed to have woken up from a dream, and they were all extremely surprised.

Who doesn’t know Zhu Yuanzhang’s temper and style?

He was able to achieve a generation of emperors from a humble beginning, not by empty talk, but by hard work.

Any People who talk empty talk, no matter how famous you are, Zhu Yuanzhang will not use you, and will even punish you.

Just like Ru Taisu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, this person has great financial management skills, but only because of two articles. Among the 10,000 words of the memorial, there were more than 18,000 words of nonsense in classical Chinese, which made Zhu Yuanzhang furious. He didn’t show any dignity to the Minister of Revenue, so he hit him with a stick in front of everyone.

This was just a small matter. It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang’s acting style has no room for survival in his hands.

“only……”

At this time, someone hesitated and said:”Judging from the cabinet system that this person brought out, this person has some talent and learning. If anything happens,……”

Before Hu Weiyong could speak, Wang Guangyang said first:”Zhao Kuo was a talented man back then and was well-known in all countries.”

“How about actually going to the battlefield?”

“Just leave a joke on paper”

“Just because words can be said beautifully does not mean things can be done satisfactorily. Everyone should understand this truth!” After these words fell, there was a sudden burst of approval. They all fought out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, so they naturally understood how far the distance was between theory and reality.

The weak voice of opposition was naturally quickly drowned out..

At this time, Hu Weiyong also smiled lightly and said:”No one is perfect, I have already determined that Zhu Heng’s shortcomings are, no matter how much he can fly to the sky and escape, he will definitely not be able to escape my grasp.

Wang Guangyang said excitedly:”Hu Xiang, what should we do?””

“Recently, the autumn grain has come down, and the court will begin to apportion corvees.

Wang Guangyang said calmly:”Zhu Heng should be the local chief, right?””

Huh?

After hearing this, Wang Guangyang suddenly became energetic:”It must be! His village is the richest”

“Are you asking him to assign horse administration corvee services to the people?”

Everyone suddenly became energetic and smacked the taste.

Nowadays, the imperial court implements the Lijia system.

One hundred and ten households are one li.

Among them, the ten households that pay more Dingliang are the chiefs of the li.

And the ten households are the chiefs of the Jia.

Generally speaking, , one village chief will be in charge of ten armor commanders.

This is an official position, but there is no room for competition among ordinary people. It all depends on how much tax you pay.

And if you don’t want to be, that’s no problem. After all, the village chief still has the responsibility. Assigning corvee and tax responsibilities to the people, you have only two choices: do it or die. This is what makes Zhu Yuanzhang so domineering, and it is also what makes the nobles of Huaixi fearful.

Concept.

He treats the entire Ming Dynasty as a machine. Officials and people are just parts on the machine.

Everything must run in an orderly manner. Wherever you are placed, you must be where you are.

No independent thinking is allowed, and no one is allowed to refuse. He is the only one with a brain, and everyone must operate according to his eternal rules. Of course

, what should I do if the parts are broken?!

Just like now…

What would Zhu Yuanzhang think if the people failed to complete their corvee service under Zhu Heng’s management, or if they rebelled during the service?

“Hu Xiang is brilliant!

Wang Guangyang suddenly became extremely excited:”If he can’t manage a hundred households well, how can he manage the world well?””

“Hu Xiang thinks, what kind of corvee should we allocate to Zhu Heng?”

“Not assigned”

“What?”

Everyone was stunned.

Hu Weiyong just frowned slightly and said,”Do you have any brains? Do you think we can manipulate Zhu Heng at will?”

“If we openly assign corvees to embarrass him, and he tells his superiors that officials are harsh, who will the superiors turn to?”

“He rose to power from a humble background and knows a lot about the ways officials use to embarrass others. What do you think he will think of us?”

“After all, we have a conflict of interest with Zhu Heng. Do you think the superiors will think that we are collectively targeting Zhu Heng?”

“this……”

Everyone was slightly stunned.

What he said makes so much sense.

Hu Weiyong thought very carefully, leaving them all speechless.

Everyone in Huaixi was used to being arrogant and used their power to deal with political opponents, but Zhu Heng… he is now above power. After losing this most convenient method, everyone suddenly became very angry. I feel embarrassed and have a feeling of being tied up.

However, Hu Weiyong spoke very rudely at this time, which seemed to be Li Shanchang’s tone of lecturing everyone.

But at this time, no one dared to refute anything.

Unknowingly, Hu Weiyong’s status was quietly rising.

Wang Guangyang said with some caution:”Is there anything Mr. Hu can do?”

Hu Weiyong said calmly:”This year’s Ma Zheng has not been allocated to Ma Zheng yet, has it?”

Everyone was slightly stunned, and their eyes suddenly lit up after Wang Guangyang, and they said:”What a good strategy!”

Hu Weiyong glanced at him, and Wang Guangyang calmly lifted the teacup that had been knocked down on the table and said,”Hu Xiang is indeed a good strategy!”

Ma Zheng is naturally a horse-raising policy.

The cavalry is the foundation of a country’s army. Strong cavalry makes the army strong. The Ming Dynasty was able to conquer Mobei because of its large number of excellent war horses.

Zhu Yuanzhang once said: Ma Zheng is the most important thing of the country.

Therefore, in the sixth year of Hongwu and the eighth year of Hongwu, he successively established institutions such as the Dianmu Station, Qunhujian, Taipu Temple, Horse Herding House, and Xingtaipu Temple to breed horses and cultivate horse sources.

On the other hand, a multi-pronged approach was adopted to buy horses from all parties.

Many tea-horse and salt-horse departments were established in the western borders of Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan and other areas.

It can be said that he racked his brains to raise horses.

But raising horses costs money.

And it costs a lot of money.

But the court had no money.

What to do?

Naturally, we have to turn our attention to the people.

Nowadays, there are three methods of raising horses in the Ming Dynasty, namely, four types of official herding, Wei herding and civilian herding, and Beijing fostering.

Among them, official animal husbandry is naturally raised by the government. The horses raised are royal horses. They are mainly responsible for the honor guard of palace carriages and sacrifices, and serve as the royal facade.

Wei Mu and Min Mu are the big ones.

They are respectively responsible for the military guard station and the common people.

Civilian animal husbandry actually means passing on the cost of raising horses for the imperial court to the common people.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to see the people go bankrupt because of raising horses, so he issued a decree:”Five households without food need one horse, and seven households without food need one horse.” Even”

“Anyone who can shepherd carefully will have their sins removed.”

On the surface, although raising horses is a type of corvée, you can get tax-free food and even be exempted from crime. This is the easiest type of corvée among many.

But it is only on the surface that the court stipulates that people need to raise a mare. Submitting a foal to the government every year has actually reached the breeding limit of a stallion, and it is almost impossible to achieve it. What if the horse gets sick and dies, or cannot produce a foal?

The people are responsible for compensation.

What should I do if I don’t have money?

Sorry, the court doesn’t want to confiscate the family, but who made you fail to complete the tasks assigned by the court?

So in fact, Ma Zheng has become the most severe of all the corvee ? Regardless of whether Ma Zheng is reasonable or not, Ma Zheng provides a large number of horses to the frontier army every year, which has become one of the basic national policies of the Ming Dynasty…

But at this time, Fei Ju was slightly stunned and said:”Hu Does the prime minister mean to allocate horses and corvee labor to Zhu Heng’s area?”

“Won’t the superiors take the blame?”

As soon as he said the words, he found that everyone was looking at him like a fool.

Fei Ju scratched his head:”Am I wrong? It’s not that Mr. Hu just said that you shouldn’t underestimate those in power.”

“Don’t forget who formulated Ma Zheng.”

Wang Guangyang said with a frown at this moment.

“Ma Zheng was decided by the superior himself. In his eyes, Ma Zheng was the easiest among many corvees.”

“He is well versed in officialdom, but he has been emperor for more than ten years. How do he know how harmful he is by proposing these new policies?”

“However, Ma Zheng was able to provide a large number of horses and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.”

“Who dares to attack the national policy set by the emperor?

Fei Ju suddenly slapped his head, suddenly realized, and said in surprise:”Not bad, not bad, so what if His Majesty knew about it, how could he deny himself!””

“Anyway, when the time comes, if Zhu Heng is struggling to raise horses and even goes bankrupt and begs for food, His Majesty will only blame Zhu Heng for his poor management!

Hu Weiyong smiled slightly and said:”In short, the superiors will not make mistakes. If they do, it will only be the people below.””

“When His Majesty asks, what do you think Zhu Heng will say?

Fei Ju’s expression was already extremely excited:”Judging from that kid’s past arguments, he has always been unabashed in his speech.””

“I’m afraid I will angrily scold the superior in front of him!”

“This bitch is cheating on you!”

Zhu Heng scolded Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him?

Thinking of this, everyone’s eyes suddenly lit up!

This was really exciting.

That was Zhu Yuanzhang!

With Zhu Yuanzhang’s temper, who dared to accuse him directly?

Even the always upright Ru Taisu, at most He just dared to speak out and never dared to curse.

The last person who scolded Zhu Yuanzhang in person was named Chen Youliang.

Now he was sinking to the bottom of the lake to feed the fish. When he said this, everyone looked at Hu Weiyong with great admiration:”Goodbye, Mr. Hu.”

This plan is really careful.

After all, I and others are just apportioning corvees normally, and in Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes, they are apportioning the easiest horse-raising corvee.

Zhu Yuanzhang will not blame himself and others for targeting Zhu Heng.

Really, he can only blame him. Can you blame yourself and others for taking too much care of Zhu Heng during the corvee work, and then just waiting for Zhu Heng to mess up the matter?

But at this time, someone from Pingliang Marquis Fei Ju hesitated and said,”Do you have to follow Li Gongzhi to do this?” Say something?”

The words fell.

There was a sudden silence in the venue.

After all, Li Shanchang is the distinguished leader of Huaixi. Although he was dismissed as prime minister and was not selected for the cabinet, his prestige is still there. Everyone still habitually reports to him before acting. But Wang Guangyang immediately said :”Gong Li is old. He has said before that we are not allowed to visit him.”

“I’m just waiting for someone to hear Hu Xiang.”

Everyone had different expressions, but no one refuted.

Hu Weiyong glanced at Wang Guangyang, smiled slightly and said:”The most important thing right now is that we and the Huaixi people must work together. As long as I work together, nothing can’t be accomplished.

Wang Guangyang hurriedly said:”To be united, we need a leader.””

“We are only waiting for Prime Minister Hu to follow his lead.

When the others saw this, they immediately understood:”We will rely more on Mr. Hu in the future.””

“Yes, Hu Xiang is our distinguished representative of Huaixi.”

Hu Weiyong smiled faintly and said without comment:”Luo Zi will only prepare when he goes back.”

“Unless Zhu Heng is overthrown, I, a Huaixi native, will have no say in the court.”

“After overthrowing Zhu Heng, it is not too late to talk about this again.”

Everyone agreed.

But Wang Guangyang lingered for a while.

After everyone left, Hu Weiyong looked at him with a smile:”Chaozong”

Wang Guangyang hesitated and said,”After all, Mr. Li has led us for many years. If he really opposes our plan, what to do? After all, Li Gong’s prestige still exists……”

Hu Weiyong smiled:”You haven’t figured out Mr. Li’s current state?”

Wang Guangyang was slightly stunned:”What’s Mr. Li’s state now?””

“He is old.”

Hu Weiyong raised his eyes and looked at him.

Wang Guangyang was suddenly shocked.

Hu Weiyong poured him a cup of tea with his own hands and said with a smile:”Chaozong, you were transferred back to the capital last year, right?”
