Although he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with what his son had done during this trip. The relocation matter had gone much better than the court expected. Although these people could not see it, the officials in the court felt that it was Know it well.
The most rare and valuable thing is that in the face of many tedious matters, Zhu Biao still insists on doing it himself instead of being a hands-off shopkeeper. He has experienced local government affairs and understands the needs of the people. He is worthy of being his most perfect successor. This resilience is really rooted in his roots. .
Zhu Yuanzhang's smile grew even bigger when he thought of this, and his body suddenly burst out with energy. He wanted to go back to the imperial study room to handle official duties for two hours, but fortunately, the eunuch beside him was still tirelessly urging him to go back to his room and rest.
Walking to the Qianqing Palace, the top of the verandah with double eaves and yellow glazed tiles is located on a single-layer white marble platform. There are no concubines living here, and it is where Zhu Yuanzhang lived most often.
After walking in, the female eunuchs in the harem were busy with their work. Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the bed and leaned on the headrest. The second and fourth sons did a good job in checking the granary this time. He had already sent the censor to various places to check.
Of course Zhu Yuanzhang knew that these nerds could not defeat the officials from all over the world, so they were just targets on the surface, but they had his arrangements secretly. This time, he must kill a group of people well to frighten the officials all over the world.
He really wants to join the ranks of corrupt officials in the world. This concept has been with him since he was a child. No matter how hard the whole family worked hard to cultivate the land, they could not pay off the exorbitant taxes and fees. When he was a child, he had to collect "festival fees" during festivals. "You need to receive "regular money" for work, you need "official money" for litigation, and you still have to pay taxes even if you stay at home idle.
It was not easy for my father to support the whole family. He had no spare money to pay all kinds of exorbitant taxes. Because of tax arrears, he was hunted down by officials everywhere, and the whole family went into hiding.
When he was young, he secretly vowed that one day he would severely punish corrupt officials and uphold justice for the people!
The sky has eyes, and fate plays tricks on people. Unexpectedly, decades later, he, a cowherd boy who used to be afraid of even a small servant, would actually sit thousands of miles away, assume the supreme power in the world, and begin to fulfill his childhood vows. Already.
It’s not that he doesn’t know that corrupt officials can’t be killed, but in the end of the Hongwu Dynasty, he will never let corrupt officials run rampant. He wants to make a good start for the Ming Dynasty he built with his own hands.
At this time, a eunuch sent a letter, which was sent back when Mao Xiang entered Fengyang Mansion. Zhu Yuanzhang calculated the time and thought that the imperial seal must have been in the hands of his son by this time. He didn't know what the boy was going to do with this symbol of destiny. Where is the returned jade seal?
For him, whether it is the jade seal passed down to the country or the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu, they have no meaning anymore. Everything with power is illusory. Is it possible that if a beggar gets this thing, can he be pulled off the dragon throne? ?
……………………
In the Fengyang camp, Zhu Biao had a headache. The surprise sent by his father was too sudden. How the imperial seal appeared was also a problem. Zhu Biao actually didn't want to pretend to be a ghost.
The main reason is that the jade seal passed down to the country does not actually mean that much to him. He has been the eldest son of King Wu since he was a child, and the crown prince after the founding of the country. His status has never been shaken. His father is loving and his mother loves him, and his ministers are respectful and humble to his younger brothers. However, politics is difficult. It's not something you can decide whether you like it or not. Just do it if it's beneficial.
Zhu Biao looked at Mao Xiang and said, "Make arrangements immediately. I want to get this treasure on the day of the sacrifice, but it doesn't have to be too magical."
Mao Xiang was a little dazed. He was ready to make a big deal. There were all kinds of good people in the Imperial Guards' Mansion, and there was no shortage of people who could pretend to be magic. After all, it was easier for people like them to get information.
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave the order, so naturally there was no room for him to refute. Zhu Biao gave him a warrant. Due to the preparations for the sacrifice, the imperial mausoleum had already been under martial law. Without his warrant, Mao Xiang would not have been able to make arrangements.
Mao Xiang and Chang Mao retreated, leaving only Liu Jin in the room. Zhu Biao turned around and took out the jade seal from the wooden box. He did not avoid Liu Jin. After all, Liu Jin would not tell anyone if he saw it.
However, Liu Jin still didn't raise his head, looking at his toes. If Zhu Biao didn't call him, he would just treat it as a decoration. Zhu Biao played with the Chuanguo Jade Seal. The texture was cool and soft to the touch. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but it was particularly comfortable to touch.
Qin Shihuang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and many other emperors should have played with this stone representing imperial power like Zhu Biao did at this time. Of course, there were many fools who took it, such as Cao Pi, a bastard.
Egg.
Zhu Biao really felt nauseated when he saw the official Chinese characters "The Great Wei received the Imperial Seal of the Han Dynasty" engraved on the shoulder of the jade seal. Otherwise, he would have also engraved "The Great Ming Dynasty received the Imperial Seal of the Song Dynasty" engraved next to it.
Zhu Biao threw the jade seal back into the box with waning interest: "Liu Jin put this wooden box away and guard it day and night before the sacrifice. Never neglect it."
Liu Jin immediately bowed and agreed. Zhu Biao yawned and went back to bed to sleep. There were official matters to be dealt with tomorrow.
Liu Jin carefully picked up the wooden box and placed it in the safest place. He probably guessed what it was. His hands were shaking in the process. This artifact was actually in his hands.
Early the next morning, Zhu Biao didn't get enough sleep, but he still got up and asked Liu Jin to get a basin of cooler water. After washing, he convened a meeting with officials to decide on today's itinerary.
Zhu Biao rode his horse out, while Liu Jin stayed in the camp to take care of the wooden boxes. In the morning, Zhu Biao went to the nearby mountains. Since many houses were to be built, most of the wood was cut down, and the rest that were not useful were collected and prepared.
Used for heating in winter.
The entire mountain is quite bald, but there is nothing we can do about it. If we don't use local materials, the cost of resources consumed will be too great. It is estimated that nothing will be left on this mountain in the end.
I ate some casually at noon, and went to look at the rivers in the afternoon. There were many rivers in Fengyang Mansion. It was rare that there were so many young people this time, so I had to make good use of them. In the future, it would not be so easy to recruit laborers.
Fengyang is not far from Nanjing, and Zhu Biao also has high hopes for this place, so he is not only resettling the relocated residents, but also laying the foundation for Fengyang's future development.
The cultivated land in each village must also be distributed reasonably. The most important thing to pay attention to is not to encroach on the interests of the old Fengyang people, otherwise what will happen? Zhu Yuanzhang moved the people to other places to stimulate the development of Fengyang, hoping that they can live a good life together.
It's not to let them occupy the dove's nest, but the land in Fengyang is indeed not fertile enough, and many places are not suitable for farming at all. In other words, it is too difficult to open up wasteland. After a few shovels, there are rocks, and they are all big rocks.
Otherwise, it is too close to the river, and it will be in vain once a flood occurs. Zhu Biao led people to basically travel all over Fengyang. In fact, there is farmland to accommodate these people, but it is rare to have so many young and strong laborers.
