Chapter 158 Despicable, insulting
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Hu Weiyong drank the ginseng tea made by his daughter and felt extremely happy.
The son is confused. Although he is sent to the border gate now, he will not suffer hardship if he has acquaintances with him.
Only his daughter Hu Die gave him a headache. Now she is eighteen years old, but she still refuses to get married!
This was already considered an older leftover girl in the Ming Dynasty, but she had been loved by Hu Weiyong since she was a child, and she could be described as willful and unruly.
"Why do you have time to make ginseng soup for dad today?"
Hu Weiyong blew the ginseng soup and said with a smile: "You are so diligent when you have nothing to do, why are you doing it?"
Hu Dieying pursed her lips and said with dissatisfaction: "Dad! My daughter has done her best to fulfill her filial duty, but she was misunderstood by you! I will never make ginseng soup for you again!"
Hu Weiyong quickly apologized, which made Hu Die's brows relax.
"Dad, my daughter went to the gift shop today!"
Hu Diejiao smiled and said, "I even helped dad do a business!"
When he heard that his daughter had gone to the figurine shop, Hu Weiyong's expression changed drastically, and then his expression returned to normal.
"Oh? Why are you going there? Don't you hate the strong smell of the pottery?"
Hu Weiyong said with a smile: "You have time to go to the figurine shop, but don't have time to meet with your mother and the young masters?"
"You are not young, and you have reached the age of getting married! If you find a husband as soon as possible, your mother and I will feel relieved!"
"Your eldest brother is useless in this life! You must find a capable husband in the future!"
The political legacy of the Huaixi Group is definitely more secure in the hands of its own people.
Hu Weiyong has trained Chen Ying, but to be fair, he still wants his relatives to run the Huaixi Group.
The son is no longer useful, so he can only count on the son-in-law.
Hu Die's pretty face turned red and she said shyly: "Dad! Who is the boss? I have to serve him! My daughter is getting married, who will make ginseng soup for my father!"
Hu Weiyong felt so sweet that his daughter was his little cotton-padded jacket.
"Tell me about it! What business did you make?"
“My daughter sold the fabrics from the tatters shop!”
What! Hu Weiyong was shocked, that was the goods he wanted to sell to Fusang!
However, my daughter has finally started a business, and as a father, I have to encourage her.
Besides, who are you selling the fabric to?
Anyway, you can make some money, and those fabrics are worth at least three hundred taels.
"Then how much did you sell?"
"There's too much fabric... My daughter gave me some discounts..."
"That's right! Doing business is just like officialdom. Sometimes you have to benefit the other party in order to reach a compromise."
Hu Weiyong's praise was laced with instruction, and he asked carefully: "So how much discount did you give?"
Hu Die rubbed her jade hands and murmured: "One...one fold!"
10% off!
Three hundred taels of silver directly turned into thirty taels!
Although Hu Weiyong was not short of money, he still felt that his daughter's behavior was too prodigal.
"It would be great if you could just give it to him! Why take money from him?"
"My daughter didn't give it as a gift! She even charged him a penny!"
A penny?
One penny bought three hundred taels of cloth?
Hu Weiyong felt his blood surge and he almost fell over.
"Dad, it seems you drank too much ginseng soup. Why are you so blushing and thick-necked?"
"You rebellious girl... don't go to the tattered shop in the future!"
——
Fengtian Temple.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the great emperor of Hongwu, was sitting at attention, looking at the world's momentum, so that all the officials did not dare to raise their heads.
Recently, Zhu Xi and others have made great progress in their studies, which made Emperor Hongwu very pleased.
"We have decided to cultivate our lives with the people and put the Northern Expedition on hold for the time being."
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers shouted: "The Holy One is wise!"
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the two consecutive large-scale Northern Expeditions had already overwhelmed the national strength.
If heavy taxes continue for a long time, the people will be overwhelmed.
"Your Majesty is generous and loves the people. This is my great blessing for the Ming Dynasty!"
Hu Weiyong quickly flattered him and said with a smile: "Now that we, the Ming Dynasty, are conducting maritime trade with Japan, we can make a sure profit without losing anything!"
"When three or five years pass, our Ming army will be well-fed, while the remnants of the Ming Dynasty will have no choice but to eat sand on the grassland and drink the northwest wind!"
Ha ha ha ha!
Hu Weiyong's words won Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, "Weiyong! You think the same as us!"
"Recuperating and recuperating with the people does not mean doing nothing! You, Zhongshu Sheng, must think about strategies to enrich the country and strengthen the army!"
Hu Weiyong bowed his head and bowed, "I have been appreciated by your majesty, and it is not enough to repay you for being a mess! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely work hard for the imperial court and enrich the country and strengthen the army!"
Flatterer!
Lan Yu snorted coldly, cursing secretly in her heart.
Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and other generals remained silent.
Once there is no Northern Expedition, the generals' voice will plummet.
But they knew that recuperating and recuperating now was the most correct choice for Ming Dynasty.
It was not that Xu Da had not tried to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang, but the latter never listened.
"It's rare that the emperor has thought clearly, and it will be a blessing to the people of the world."
Xu Da suddenly learned that there might not be any battles to fight in the past few years, and Xu Da was at a loss as to what to do.
"Uncle Tiande... we can finally have some rest."
Li Wenzhong smiled and said: "I have long wanted to see the great mountains and rivers!"
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the reports from the officials of the six ministries again and felt a little tired.
"The rest of the political affairs will be handed over to Zhongshu Sheng."
"If there is something going on, go ahead and leave the court if there is nothing going on!"
Just as Emperor Hongwu was about to leave, several officials chose to fire.
"Your Majesty! Recently, the women of Yingtian Mansion have been wearing clothes that are immoral and immoral! It is really shocking and insulting to morals!"
"Please also ask the Emperor to give an order to correct this unhealthy trend!"
"When a woman exposes her arms, doesn't she give a man an advantage? This is an invitation to crime!"
With the development of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, women became more obedient and more important to their husbands.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly. He made laws that stipulated that each household should have different fabrics. In fact, it was to crack down on merchants.
Tell them that no matter how rich you are, your social status is still inferior to civilian households and military households.
In particular, Shen Wansan's wealth was so great that it left a deep impression on Zhu Yuanzhang.
If such businessmen are disloyal to the country, it can be said to be extremely harmful.
But no matter how domineering Lao Zhu was, he never thought of interfering with people's dressing styles.
Farm girls can't always wear long sleeves when working in the fields in summer, right?
"This matter..."
Before Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, the officials were all excited.
"Your Majesty! I heard that it was the Fengyang Clothing Shop that made such clothes that are so disgraceful to morals!"
"Yes! This is disrespectful to the sage Confucius and an insult to the Confucian sages!"
"Please, Your Majesty, please show no mercy! Such unscrupulous businessmen must be severely punished!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Hu Weiyong and said with a smile: "Weiyong, do you think we should interfere with women's dressing?"
Lao Zhu's meaning is very obvious. As an emperor, if he doesn't manage military affairs, why should he keep an eye on such trivial matters as women's dressing?
"Wei Chen believes that we must pay attention to the matter of weathering!"
Hu Weiyong naturally wanted to win over a group of public officials, and this was his excuse to impeach his political opponents.
