Chapter 422 The Trouble of Pirates!
In the end, Zhu Jun still failed to bring Zhu Yuanzhang in.
Lao Zhu wrote very well. He first met with the officials from Fengyang. A few days ago, all the officials from Fengyang Mansion came to the city to pick him up.
This is a rare opportunity. When the capital is moved in the future, Fengyang Mansion will be different. Their status as county magistrates under the emperor will also rise with the tide.
After meeting with Fengyang officials, Lao Zhu entered the city, accepted the people's worship, and delivered a few speeches, which moved the people to tears and shouted "Long live His Majesty," and then he entered Zhongdu City with satisfaction.
When entering Zhongdu, the first thing to do is to go to the Ancestral Temple in Zhongdu to offer incense.
Then he entered the Fengtian Hall. The luxurious hall was extremely luxurious and was more than two levels more luxurious than Yingtian.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied. Everything in Fengyang was very new, and everything in Zhongdu Palace was exquisite and luxurious. This was in line with the style of Zhongdu Palace in his mind.
After everyone was seated, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Lao Liu, didn't you report before that the victims were all being kept in the palace? Why didn't we see any of the victims and you drove them out?"
"No, the newly built market was completed a year ago. The victims were all assigned houses and are now living in new houses." Zhu Jun explained.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "You've done a good job. If it's a natural disaster, you can do it to this extent. Why should you be afraid of a natural disaster?"
As he spoke, he added: "Have lunch at Fengtian Hall at noon. In the afternoon, we will first inspect the Zhongdu Palace, tomorrow we will inspect the Imperial City, and the day after that we will inspect the surrounding areas of the Imperial City.
Try to dare to answer the question before the Lantern Festival. If you can’t go back, celebrate the Lantern Festival in Fengyang!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, Zhu Yuanzhang began to inspect the imperial city and led everyone to every corner of the palace.
Everything is perfect.
After patrolling until the sun went down, Zhu Yuanzhang said a little tiredly: "The construction of the Zhongdu Palace is better than I imagined. You have made great contributions in supervising the construction this time!"
Zhu Jun said, "Father, my sons and ministers only came to supervise the work at the end. The real heroes should be the Duke of Korea, Marquis Tang, and the more than 70,000 craftsmen who built the palace.
I just have a little hard work!
Besides, what kind of credit is it for doing things for your own family?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy when he said this, "Yes, what kind of credit is it to do things for your own family? However, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to put it into use, and I'm afraid it would be abandoned here!"
He glanced at many people, but no one dared to look at him.
However, with so many people killed in the Zhongdu case, he did not intend to continue to expand it, but would only use it to deter them from time to time.
"However, Li Shanren and Tang Ding are indeed meritorious. After inspecting Fengyang, we will discuss their merits and reward them!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tang Ding stepped forward happily.
"On behalf of my father, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" Li Qiye stood up from behind Zhu Jun with an excited look on his face, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Besides, if you come up with a list of people who are responsible for the rescue this time, we will reward you greatly!" Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun nodded. This time, he could give his subordinates a promotion.
Don't give up this benefit. He paid hundreds of thousands of taels in real money. Without any benefit, he will suffer a huge loss.
"Everyone else, please go back. We will enter the palace tomorrow!" Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little tired and said to Zhu Jun: "Lao Liu, come with us!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
The father and son walked one behind the other. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was tired, he was in a good mood, "You did a good job this time. Tell me what reward you want!"
"Dad, I won the bet this time, right?" Zhu Jun said with a smile, "I don't want a reward, as long as you fulfill the bet."
"Our Suzaku Army hasn't gone over to see it yet, why do you just say you won?" Zhu Yuanzhang said firmly.
"Dad, I am not bragging. My Suzaku Army cannot be said to be an army capable of defeating the great cause of hundreds of battles, but it is also the best among the best and can go into battle to kill the enemy at any time.
If you don’t believe it, I heard that there are many water bandits in the Boyang Lake area, and I can take the disease to suppress the bandits!"
"The water bandits on the Boyang Lake side are not ordinary water bandits, but the remnants of Chen Han!" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "They have received funding from Chen Han, with many weapons and ships, and they have great influence on Boyang Lake.
The terrain is very familiar and you can come and go easily. If you go there rashly, you will suffer a big loss!"
"Dad, do you just ignore it and let them run amok?"
"How do you know we didn't care?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "Our people have already infiltrated in. Although they are water bandits, they are led by the confidants of Chen Handa. It is not difficult to take them down, but we
It’s still useful!”
"Dad, what's the plan?"
"Don't ask so many questions!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Anyway, we have our own concerns over Boyang Lake!"
He suffered a big loss in Boyang Lake, so he wanted to regain his position in Boyang Lake.
So I made preparations early.
If Zhu Jun hadn't mentioned the matter of suppressing bandits, he wouldn't have mentioned it.
"Okay, if you don't let me suppress the bandits, then you must have a standard for evaluating the Suzaku Army, right?" Zhu Jun said.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced sideways at him and said thoughtfully: "Since you are determined to suppress bandits, it is not impossible. Pirates are prevalent along the coast. If you can put an end to the pirate rebellion for us, we will consider you a winner!"
Now, if you manage Fengyang well, you can be considered a good hand at managing people's livelihood.
You also founded a literary newspaper, so we can consider you to have made achievements in literature.
At present, with his martial arts skills, the Suzaku Army is good at running an army, but I don't know how to fight.
If you can't fight, it's just a donkey dung egg with a shiny surface."
"Going to the coast to suppress bandits?" Zhu Jun was stunned, and immediately felt ecstatic.
Damn it, you really come up with whatever you want. If you go to the coast, isn't that just opening up sea trade?
Moreover, those big bandits are really rich.
Pirates are rampant on the islands, and they are also related to officials and merchants in the interior. Catching one is equivalent to capturing a group of people.
Will he die by then?
"Ah? But I'm in Fengyang. It's too far to go to the coast. What should I do in Fengyang?" Zhu Jun said with a bitter face: "Where should I stay when I go to the seaside?"
"Ningbo Mansion!" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There is a general guarding it, but the general there has been unable to control the pirates' troubles, and it has even worsened. We have received news that the general seems to have been bribed by the pirates.
.
Do you dare to go there?"
Zhu Jun rolled his eyes, "There's nothing I dare not go to. If that general really colludes with the pirates, he will be the first one I kill!"
But dad, if I defeat the pirates, what good will it do?"
"If you want to put an end to the pirate problem, we will give you whatever you want!"
