Lao Zhu asked Zhu Su again about the details of the continent where the "God Seed" was located. Zhu Su didn't know much about the Americas of this era, so he quickly taught him what he knew. At the same time, he told Lao Zhu that besides being able to go to sea,
In addition to obtaining the "god seed", you can also use the Maritime Silk Road to dump silk, porcelain and other items from the Ming Dynasty to the West and make huge profits.
But Lao Zhu showed little interest in this. Maybe he didn't believe it, or maybe it was because in his heart, farming was far more important than mere business. He only focused on thinking about building a fleet and looking for the "god seed".
When Zhu Su saw this, he didn't say much. Anyway, his purpose was to guide Lao Zhu to turn his attention to the sea, and stop formulating the ancestral precept of "No pieces of wood should be put into the sea".
As long as a fleet returns from the sea in the future, Lao Zhu will know the benefits of sea trade sooner or later.
Unknowingly, it was time to have lunch, and a message came from outside, saying that Queen Ma urged Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu to go to have lunch. Lao Zhu ordered Zhu Biao to put together the four pieces of rice paper "Kun".
After carefully putting away "The Map of All Countries", he was about to leave Zhu Su's small courtyard. This time he came here, he gained a lot, and he needed to sort out his thoughts in order to determine the next major affairs of the court.
"Dad, don't forget what you promised me!" Zhu Su hurriedly told him.
"I know, I know." Lao Zhu waved his hand. Before leaving, he did not forget to complain about Zhu Su: "Ignorant and ignorant!"
After Lao Zhu left with a group of people, Zhu Su couldn't help but clenched his fist in excitement.
I finally got my dad’s approval, so I don’t have to go to the main hall anymore!
My own comfortable life is finally...finally...
The higher you praise him, the more helpless he will be. In the future, we can use the momentum of cleaning up Hu Weiyong to abolish the prime minister system altogether.
"Xiangdeng, Xiangdeng!" He proudly opened the door and shouted loudly.
Yingtian, Hu Mansion.
"Hey, hey, Your Highness, we are here!" Xiang Deng came in with his waist slumped. "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
It's just a small Jianzhou Jurchen, how can it be as important as the many major events in the court? The emperor cares about it, so just let him fiddle with it...
Seeing Hu Weiyong's happy face, Li Shanchang couldn't help but frowned. He looked around and saw that there were still many gifts that had not been put into the warehouse at the concierge of Hu Mansion. Several housekeepers were shouting and directing the servants.
He stepped up his efforts to carry it. His voice sounded a bit like a bossy slave in the prime minister's palace.
Hu Weiyong was stunned. He thought that his mentor also came to congratulate him on his promotion. Why did he look solemn?
He did not dare to neglect, and immediately led the way, leading Li Shanchang to the secluded study.
"Confused." Li Shanchang paused the crutch in his hand. "Wang Guangyang's car is not far away, how can you be so careless?"
"Teacher!" At the concierge of the Hu Mansion, Hu Weiyong was beaming with joy, with a hint of drunkenness on his face, and bowed to his mentor Li Shanchang.
"Teacher Rong, these gifts are all gifts from my Huaixi family friends, and they are not corrupt. My Huaixi ministers are of the same spirit, but due to human feelings, I will accept them even if they are mediocre..."
It was still too crowded here. Li Shanchang winked at Hu Weiyong: "Weiyong, let's go to your study."
"Those assigned to the cabinet have the title of cabinet minister. They have no rank or position, and the officials do not need to be in charge. They are appointed by the emperor himself!"
Didn't he, Zhu Yuanzhang, know that Huaixi was so powerful that Hu Weiyong was a "little calf"?
Therefore, under the cover of this phase change crisis, the cabinet was established in such a low-key manner.
No one knows what kind of behemoth this cabinet will become in the future.
Qingliu suffered another major blow after Yang Xian. Numerous officials wrote letters stating their interests and interests, saying that Hu Weiyong was the prime minister. Huaixi nobles, military and government were all in his hands, and it would be difficult to suppress them again. Now that the world has been decided, it is time to enter with swords and guns.
When the Ku and the horses are released to Nanshan, it is not appropriate to rely too much on the nobles of Huaixi.
As soon as he closed the door, Li Shanchang turned around and looked at Hu Weiyong dissatisfied: "Weiyong, you just received the appointment, how can you immediately accept the gifts and look happy? Superiors are always strict, and they don't like corruption the most.
You are newly promoted to prime minister, and you should take care of yourself, so how can you be so carried away?"
Even Liu Bowen, who had no sincerity, warned Zhu Yuanzhang in a veiled way, saying that Hu Weiyong's "little ears will break the plow with the shaft."
Amid the uproar between the government and the public, Lao Zhu never said a word. All the memorials urging him to think twice and delay the appointment of prime minister were ignored.
He knows very well. Before, he might have been hesitant about who to choose as prime minister after Wang Guangyang left office.
Moreover, amidst the chaotic discussion of Hu Weiyong, almost no one noticed that the emperor also issued another imperial edict:
"At the back corner gate of Jinshen Hall, a temporary organization called the Cabinet was established. The six departments and yamen of the office selected their most confidential personnel to serve in the cabinet to prepare for the emperor's consultation. From now on, all Liaodong Army reports do not need to be submitted to Zhongshu Sheng.
Go directly to the cabinet and submit it to the emperor."
"Prime Minister Wang?" Hu Weiyong was stunned. "Isn't it because Prime Minister Wang contradicted the superior at the court meeting and made the superior displeased, so he was moved to the left by the superior?"
"Go, go to the imperial dining room and get some chicken wings for His Highness!"
But since the policy of dethroning the prime minister has been set, it is natural to choose Hu Weiyong. With Hu Weiyong's temperament, he will definitely be ecstatic if he becomes the prime minister.
As he was promoted to the left prime minister, countless courtiers and nobles came to congratulate him. He was so happy that he inevitably drank a few more drinks. When it was getting late and the congratulators were few and far between, he actually heard a general message saying that his mentor, Mr. Han, was
Li Shanchang arrived, so Hu Weiyong applied cold water to his face and hurried out to greet him.
That night, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Prince Zhu Biao talked in secret all night long, and the courtiers were talking a lot. A few days later, the emperor's imperial edict came from the palace, ordering Prime Minister Zuo Wang Guangyang to move to Guangdong to participate in politics, and Haiyuan to move to Fujian to participate in politics. Hu Weiyong replaced Wang Guangyang and became Zuo Prime Minister.
The government and the public were shocked and discussed.
This means that this is a arrogant little calf. If he is allowed to plow the land, he will probably break the plow.
It seems that this is just a temporary consulting organization set up because of the war in Liaodong. The Northern Expedition was newly defeated, so how could there be any war in Liaodong? It was nothing more than the emperor's previous whim, and the operation to annihilate the Jianzhou Jurchens.
"His Royal Highness will not go to the main hall in the afternoon! He will eat roast chicken in this courtyard!"
…
"The chicken still tastes delicious! Tsk tsk."
"It's true that you have a high position, but it's just a small Jurchen tribe, and it deserves such attention."
"Prime Minister Wang and Master Hai just talked about it and wanted to depose him..."
This is a secret room, and Hu Weiyong is facing his mentor who shares weal and woe, so it is inevitable that he has no control over his words. But Li Shanchang's expression changed drastically: "Shut up!"
"The superior has deep thoughts, how can you know about it!"
