After sending Jian Yi away, Xu Jingchang began to lower his head and make plans... Basically all the six ministers and nine ministers were mobilized by himself. The prince was still in Jiangxi, and now he was the only one left. He had to find something to do.
When he is busy, he can sit back and relax.
And this person is Zhu Di!
"Hu Shidu, this is my son."
Xu Jingchang pointed to a little boy wearing crotchless pants and running after a peacock, with a kind smile on his face.
Hu Xi saw it and couldn't help but grin... As expected, something unexpected happened... Just when many people were staring at the child, the young master of the Xu family showed signs of returning to his ancestors.
This is not a curse, but a way of saying that he is too skinny, his body is as strong as a calf, and he rarely gets sick. Even if he goes outside in the cold weather, even if the servants who serve him get sick, he will be fine.
Moreover, when Zhou was arrested, the boy didn't like anything and just grabbed a wooden sword.
Zhu Di and Empress Xu were very happy now. They both said that the Xu family was about to produce another natural general.
Xu Jingchang didn't think so. He felt that it was necessary to teach his son well. Our old Xu family is all about using our brains, and we have to leave the hands-on matters to others.
"Hu Shidu, come over when you have time and get acquainted with this boy... Don't worry, if he doesn't obey, you can just beat him, no need to be polite."
Hu Bi nodded, but her heart was aching again. She saw the young master grabbing the peacock's tail and fighting with him, making the chickens and dogs jump.
He subconsciously touched his beard, feeling that his life would not be easy in the future.
But Hu Xi was also a little happy. As the so-called frontier has opened thousands of miles, it is better to protect it than Qingtian... No matter how many things he does, he is not as good as serving the young master of Shangfeng's family.
If you really teach this child well, your future will be safe.
Thinking of this, Hu Xi became very motivated and vowed to be a good teacher.
There was really nothing to say to a little kid who was still staggering when running. He just wanted to get acquainted with each other. Then Hu Hui followed Xu Jingchang to the study.
Xu Jingchang asked casually: "What big projects are there in the capital now, the kind that can show off their achievements and show off?"
Hu Xi thought for a while, "Dingguo Gong, if you want to say it's not too big...but there are some pretty big places that have just been completed, such as the vegetable market outside Jubaomen and the renovated Imperial College.
Schools, as well as Xiaguan Wharf, grain warehouses, etc.”
Xu Jingchang asked again: "Are there any temples?"
"Yes, since the Martyrs' Shrine was built in Beiping, the Pantheon was also built in Yingtian, and the Confucian Temple was also rebuilt, increasing the weight of various schools of thought."
Xu Jingchang was overjoyed, "That's enough. By the way, how is Hu Shidu's writing style?"
Hu Ming was very ashamed, "Ding Guogong, it is reasonable for me to read some books as a subordinate, and I was lucky enough to be selected into the Hanlin Academy. But when it comes to writing, I am always not as good as Xie Xueshi and others, even Yang Counselor can't compare. If it weren't for the Hanlin Academy's lack of acceptance,
, I’m not even qualified to come to the General Affairs Department.”
Xu Jingchang laughed loudly, "That's what you want... When you go back and draft a few speeches, you must remember that you are not allowed to hire ghostwriters or polish them. It is your level. Just hand it over to me within three days."
Hu Xi wanted to say something else, but Xu Jingchang had already picked up the teacup. Hu Xi still understood and left quickly.
When I got home, I started writing without delaying for a moment.
In fact, Hu Xi is being modest. His writing skills are not as good as those of Xie Jin and Yang Pu. But people who can be selected into the Imperial Academy are among the best in the country, so how can they be so bad!
And according to what Xu Jingchang meant, it didn't need to be very literary, that is, it had to be approachable, that is, everyone could understand it. When he saw the newspaper on the table, he immediately grabbed it, looked at it carefully, and had an idea in his mind.
Just follow this!
Three days later, Hu Hui handed several articles to Xu Jingchang.
Xu Jingchang looked at it and suddenly smiled, "Yes, this pen written by Hu Shidu is indeed very powerful. But let me remind you of a little trick."
"What technique?"
Xu Jingchang said: "For one thing, at least three manuscripts must be prepared, with different styles and different emphasis. Do you understand?"
Hu Hui was shocked. What else could he say?
He said bitterly: "Dong Guo, in fact, I wrote five copies. I just picked the most favorite one and gave it to you."
Xu Jingchang was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Remember, don't make your own choice next time."
"I understand that I must let Duke Ding make the selection for my position."
Xu Jingchang added: "If you let me choose everything, wouldn't I be very tired? Why would I need you?"
Hu Bi was stunned again, what kind of person is this Duke Dingguo?
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "You can't make the decision yourself, nor can you leave everything to the higher-ups... You want Shangfeng to think that he can make the decision, but in fact, the things he makes the decision are all decided by you long ago. Do you understand?
?”
Hu Bi became more and more stunned, and the words of Duke Dingguo became increasingly difficult to understand.
"Xiaguan, I don't understand it yet, but I will think hard and try to understand it as soon as possible."
Xu Jingchang smiled, then took Hu Hui's manuscript, got on the carriage, and went directly to Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Di was quite happy to see him coming, "I just said that the government affairs of the imperial court were settled so quickly?"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "It's not so fast... Some things are still controversial. For example, the court should provide relief to the victims, but is it necessary to provide relief to the sick people?"
Zhu Di frowned, "It's really pitiful to be sick. If you can, you should save me."
Xu Jingchang spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there is a bottomless pit in treating diseases. What's more, there are not so many doctors in the world. What should I do if a mediocre doctor kills me?"
"This...then we can't help."
Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, there are some plagues that can spread by the thousands, even across states and counties, and this doesn't matter?"
Zhu Di frowned and hummed: "I asked you if you want to take care of it. Now you are giving me a difficult problem. What's wrong with you?"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, running a country is not a matter of one or two days, and the responsibilities of the imperial court cannot be explained clearly in three or two sentences. Let the courtiers be busy first, but I have something to do here. Next year, Your Majesty
It has been five years since I ascended the throne. Isn’t it time to make a summary and take stock of the achievements, especially for the many achievements, from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom. Then tell the world, and it can also comfort Taizu.
emperor."
When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately became interested. This proposal was so good that it was completely in line with his appetite.
"Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, there is still some time for great achievements, such as pacifying Annan, defeating Oara, regaining Monan, and opening up Liaodong... There is no rush for these things. Maybe next year, there will be more things to say. Now I have
It means to focus on the people's livelihood economy and see the big from the small. For example, the largest silk workshop in Yingtian, the newly built Xiaguan Wharf, the reconstruction of the Imperial College, and the outer city of Yingtian... His Majesty has done too many things to benefit the common people and the common people.
Ming Gan Wu Nei. I want your Majesty to visit these places and get in touch with the people to learn about the latest people's livelihood conditions."
Xu Jingchang added: "I am not saying that your Majesty is ignorant of people's livelihood. In fact, the Ming Dynasty is changing rapidly and the changes are great. Your Majesty must keep up."
Zhu Di pondered for a moment and then said: "I have seen Lao San's workshop. I also saw a lot of it in Peiping some time ago. It is true that it is different from before."
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "As the lord of a country and the Supreme Being, every move of His Majesty affects all directions. In the past, every spring, the emperor and the queen personally cultivated silk reeling and taught mulberry farming. Now the foundation of Ming Dynasty is not just agriculture.
Wouldn't it be nice for Your Majesty to visit more of Sang, including business and industry, to boost morale and boost people's morale? It can also show that the imperial court values them."
When Zhu Di heard this, he was completely tempted. He couldn't help laughing and said: "You, you are really full of evil ideas. In the past, I wanted to go out to have a look, but the courtiers blocked me in every possible way. This time, I want to take a look. Who is it?"
Can you stop it?"
Xu Jingchang handed a list to Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, these are the recent key projects related to people's livelihood and economy that I have just compiled. Your Majesty can choose from them, or you can search again. As long as you inform King Zhao before making a decision."
"Third brother? Wherever I go, do I still have to listen to him?"
"No, your Majesty, don't get me wrong. I want King Zhao to prepare and arrange the pen to write what your Majesty needs."
Zhu Di let out a long breath and said, "Okay, I know what's going on."
Xu Jingchang then left, and when he left, Zhu Di was no longer calm.
This time I can leave the palace openly!
Call your wife quickly and the couple can go out to relax together.
Zhu Di was so satisfied. Xu Jingchang was getting better and better at doing things. He was truly a wise prime minister of the country.
Xu Jingchang came out of the palace. He was also very satisfied. He now had a dozen locations in hand... Even one location every three days would keep Zhu Di busy for a month.
In other words, in one month, our Emperor Yongle will receive cheers and bows, witness the rapid changes and rapid development of the Ming Dynasty...and then be satisfied and happy.
Then you can smoothly control the situation, do whatever you want, and do what you like.
Xu Jingchang thought about it and decided to call his old father-in-law over.
Huang Guandao: "What idea did Duke Dingguo have, and he actually found me?"
Xu Jingchang said: "Old Taishan, would you like to go to the Qinhuai River?"
Huang Guan took a sip of tea and almost spit it out, "Can this be said!"
Xu Jingchang said: "That's not what I mean. In fact, I have thought about it repeatedly... The most beautiful place in the capital has the world-famous Qinhuai River. It has made so many women, destroying youth and killing ambitions. It is really not a glorious thing.
.”
Huang Guan calmed down and asked curiously: "Are you planning to close the Qinhuai River?"
"No, no, no." Xu Jingchang said: "I have never thought about it that way... I mean, are there dramas in various places? For example, Kunqu Opera, Fengyang Flower Drums, Henan Opera in Henan, and there are also folk wooden wooden drums in Peiping.
Book."
Huang Guandao: "You mean to get these to the Qinhuai River?"
"That's right, in the prosperous Ming Dynasty, there should also be some elegant embellishments, so that everyone from top to bottom can enjoy themselves and enjoy both the refined and the popular, don't you think?"
Huang Guan thought for a moment and then smiled and said: "Wonderful, really wonderful! I agree! No, no, it is the Ministry of Rites' strong support!" Huang Guan clapped his hands and laughed, "From now on, can we go to the Qinhuai River in an open and honest manner?
Already?"
Xu Jingchang was startled and said subconsciously: "Have you ever been there secretly before?"
