After Zhang Shicheng's years of development, the Suzhou, Huzhou and Hangzhou have long been a prosperous place, and have built Zhang Shicheng's territory, taxes, salt taxes and various miscellaneous taxes. In just these years, there were also a lot of silver, which was used for the

It is best to improve the people and use them as military expenses, so Zhu Yuanzhang has been in a very good mood these days.

After reviewing the memorials for a whole day, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little tired, but he was tired, and at least he had already approved the memorials of half a man. Looking at the memorials of half a man who had already reviewed behind him, Zhu Yuanzhang vomited a lot.

Tone, the memorials from these days are pretty good, and no one dares to say anything nonsense.

A few days ago, some officials saw that he had defeated Zhang Shicheng and submitted memorials to flatter him. Originally, he was unwilling to read these, but there were hundreds of civil and military officials, and there were few memorials from Jinling, Haozhou, Wuchang and other places.

More than a thousand points, as the head of a country, it is not easy to read. For the sake of face, he picked a few memorials from it and asked someone to read them to him. Unexpectedly, it was a memorial, and it was almost done after reading it.

After half a day, I said it all the same flat words, but it was the way of Confucius and Mencius, which made him feel a headache. He was so angry that he slapped the table and stopped people from reciting it. Instead, he ordered people to count the words, and there was already

More than 10,000 words.

This made him extremely angry. He immediately passed the order and asked the person who wrote the memorial to go forward to see him and asked the guards to beat him up. I don’t know how the news spread, but after that, the memorial flattery words were given

Much less.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just stood up, and the eunuch at the door brought tea soup and placed it carefully on the coffee table. A small eunuch scooped up a spoon with a spoon and put it into his mouth. After a while, the tea soup was placed on the plate table in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

.

Zhu Yuanzhang closed the memorial, moved his arms, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, swallowed it with a rumble, and then pulled out a thread-packed "The Analects of Confucius" from a bookshelf.

The tea soup is ordinary tea. After going there for the first time, it was delivered here. Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to drink the precious tea from Jinling, and only used some tea that was not expensive and tasted pretty good.

The imperial tea leaves, but after brewing the tea, the taste was lighter, which was not in line with Zhu Yuanzhang's tone. The imperial kitchen added salt, pepper, ginger, dates, and "milk" cheese to the tea in Shu according to the method of drinking tea in Shu.

Wait for seasonings, then boil the tea to form the tea soup, forming a unique Shu tea soup.

At first, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like it, but after drinking it twice, he gradually adapted to the only thing that made the tea soup. What's more important is that the tea soup has some effect of stopping hunger. Zhu Yuanzhang did not change it and usually reviewed memorials.

When you are hungry, you will drink a cup, which will help you get the best. This kind of tea soup is not popular in Jiangnan. After Zhu Yuanzhang drank it like this, it gradually spread in the upper class of Jinling. Those officials who were gritting their teeth and not good to drink at first

It is common for Zhu Yuanzhang to drink it with relish, and he is embarrassed to say it is not good. Over time, many people have also drunk this kind of hodgepodge of tea soup and gradually became popular.

A cup of tea was not much, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a little hungry, drank it in a few sips. A eunuch beside him just finished reading a memorial. The content of the memorial was to restore Zhu Yuanzhang's enrollment and hold the imperial examination. Regarding this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang

I am willing to do so, but Jiangnan has not been completely unified, and people's hearts are still unstable. Besides, my territory has been expanding in recent years and my strength has become much stronger. I have destroyed Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng one after another. It was not that I could hide my past by slowly becoming king.

The Tartars suspected that they were eyeing him. For him, it was not the time to open the imperial examination. At present, only by concentrating their efforts on dealing with the Tartars. Only by driving the Tartars out of the Central Plains and unifying the world, can the Han people truly study and take the exam.

When is fame and fortune?

When Zhu Yuanzhang remembered the Tartars, he felt a little nervous. He put the "Analects of Confucius" in his hand on the coffee table, returned to the dragon throne, and began to review the half-human-high memorial.

The night is pitch black.

At this time, a figure flashed into the palace of King Wu like a ghost, aimed at the direction of Zhu Yuanzhang's study, and flashed in.

Outside the door, the black shadow knelt down on the steps in front of the study, clasped his fists into the door and said, "Check, Jiang Yan asks to see His Highness the King of Wu!"

There was a silence in the study room, and soon Zhu Yuanzhang's slightly majestic voice came out: "Let him come in!"

The guards guarding outside the gate responded, and Mao Xiang said, "Please please Deputy Commander Jiang?"

Jiang Yan glanced at Mao Xiang, nodded at him, and walked in.

"Jiang Yan, deputy commander of the procuratorate, have you ever seen His Highness the King of Wu?" Jiang Yan couldn't take a closer look, and knelt on the ground with his broken legs and bowed with his fists.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Do you need to be polite, get up and talk?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yan responded and stood with his hands down.

After reviewing the last memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and glanced at Jiang Yan quickly. Under the light, Jiang Yan was tall, with particularly wide shoulders, a slightly larger face than ordinary people, a full forehead, and a pair of thick eyebrows.

Mo, a pair of bright eyes, a strong and powerful aura arose.

Jiang Yan was a secretly incorporated by Zhu Yuanzhang. Like Mao Xiang, this person was smart and capable, and gradually was relied on by Zhu Yuanzhang. He has given him a lot of tasks to inquire about information over the years. This time, he was allowed to sneak into Dadu and collect.

After several years, the news from Fang Guozhen did not disappoint Zhu Yuanzhang. He accumulated military merits and was promoted to him as deputy commander of the procuratorate.

"How to find out?" Zhu Yuanzhang put down his pen, picked up the tea soup and took it hard, and asked in a deep voice.

Jiang Qi hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Report to Your Highness, after many inquiries from Bei Zhi's eyewitness in Taizhou, Bei Zhi got the exact news from Fang Guozhen?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said in a deep voice: "How is the situation?"

Jiang Yin said: "Fang Guozhen originally reached an alliance with Chen Youding, Fujian to jointly resist our Jinling army?"

"Hmph, how can I resist my Jinling Da?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and his face, who had just appeared nervous, suddenly calmed down.

Jiang Yan nodded and said, "What Your Highness said is that General Zhu and Marshal Tang have completely controlled Wenzhou, Ningbo and other places. Fang Guozhen is only left with one Taizhou, which is no enemy of our Jinling army, but——?"
