In short, just one sentence: I, Tang Shengzong, that’s right!
When Zhu Biao heard what Tang Shengzong said, he kept nodding his head: "You are right, the people are very grateful to you, and you are not bad to the people. The money you earn is beneficial to opening local medical clinics and textile factories.
You have changed the lives of the people at that time. This is your credit. Moreover, your Majesty stipulated that the land owned by nobles does not need to pay taxes, but the land you collected must pay taxes exactly every year. Marquis Yan An's
His character is trustworthy."
Hearing Zhu Biao praising himself, Tang Shengzong couldn't help but straighten his chest.
This was his contribution. Zhu Biao's praise made Tang Shengzong feel bright in his face: "What you said, Your Highness, is our duty. We were also common people before, and we all understand and understand the hard days that the common people live. We are common people."
How can you bully the people despite your background?"
Zhu Biao listened to Tang Shengzong's words with a smile.
That's all he said to praise Tang Shengzong, but Zhu Biao wanted to say more than that.
Zhu Biao looked at Tang Shengzong: "However, Yan Anhou, can you guarantee that you can do it? Can you guarantee that your children can do it too? You used to be a common people, you can farm, right? Can your children do it? Can you do it to the common people?
Well, your son might do this because of your influence, but what about your grandchildren? Will they do the same?"
"I……"
Tang Shengzong wanted to hold his neck and say a few words to Zhu Biaojian, but the words still did not come out.
The main reason is that I can't be stubborn anymore.
When his grandson or great-grandson appears, he will be transformed into a handful of dust. Who will remember who he is then?
Tang Shengzong blushed when Zhu Biao asked him, "Then, how can I explain clearly what happened at that time? However, as long as they are the descendants of Tang Shengzong, if they do anything to humiliate the people, I will be damned.
Don’t let them go!”
"Therefore, the crime committed by Marquis Yan An will be committed in the future!"
Zhu Biao looked at Tang Shengzong, "Qin Shihuang wanted the Qin Dynasty to last for eternity, but he died in two generations. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian's achievements lasted for thousands of years, but the Sui Dynasty only survived for a few decades. None of us can tell what kind of character our descendants will have.
But for the sake of the people, we must kill the trend of land annexation from the beginning! We will also leave methods for future generations to deal with and solve problems for them to learn from! Yan Anhou, do you agree with what I say?"
"My lord, I admit it!"
Tang Shengzong suppressed his blush, and then said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, please rest assured. After I return, I will return all the land to the people."
"You still have to give it back, but Marquis Yan An can't pay for it himself."
Zhu Biao took out a note from his sleeve and said to Tang Shengzong: "I have one thousand silver coins here. I don't know if it is enough. Take it first. After all, you have spent a lot of money for the people."
Tang Shengzong quickly waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, there is no need, I have..."
"Take it!"
Zhu Biao handed the note to Tang Shengzong without any reason: "You just go and get the money when the time comes."
"Obey, obey!"
Tang Shengzong took the note and said sincerely to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, I made a mistake, and I am still obsessed with it. I got into trouble myself and failed to understand your hard work. Please punish me."
"You are the Marquis Yan An of the Ming Dynasty. You have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. How can I punish you so easily?"
Zhu Biao had no intention of punishing Tang Shengzong. Instead, he pulled him up and said to him: "However, I have something here that I need Marquis Yan An to do."
Tang Shengzong clasped his hands in his fists: "Your Highness, Tang Shengzong begs for orders! I swear to go through fire and water for His Highness, no matter what!"
"It's not that exaggerated."
Zhu Biao shook his hand dumbfounded. Tang Shengzong was a rough man and straightforward in his speech. However, Zhu Biao was willing to communicate with people like Tang Shengzong. There was no pressure to talk to such a straight-laced person, and the communication was very smooth: "Yan Anhou, I am going to survey the whole country.
The population, as well as the land conditions in various places, will be counted every ten years from now on. I want to leave this job to you."
"I?"
When Tang Shengzong heard that it was not a war, but an inventory of land and population, Tang Shengzong immediately shook his head: "No, no, no, I can't! Your Highness, I'm just a rough guy, and I don't know a word. Ask me to check those things. This
Isn’t it the same as Zhang Fei’s embroidery?”
Zhu Biao laughed when he heard Tang Shengzong's words.
He said that he was a big boss, but he kept saying jingles one after another. Those who didn't know better thought that Tang Shengzong wanted to take the exam to become a scholar.
When Tang Shengzong finished speaking, Zhu Biao said to him: "Marquis Yan An, the reason why I chose you is because you are the best candidate."
"I?"
Tang Shengzong couldn't believe it. He didn't even understand why he became Zhu Biao's best candidate.
"Because you have the people in your heart, you hate evil as much as you hate it, and you dare to use a knife on those who bully the people!"
Zhu Biao said, "You have killed a lot of local gangsters, hooligans, and scoundrels in Haozhou, right? Now Haozhou doesn't close its doors at night and doesn't pick up things on the road. You have a great contribution."
this……
Tang Shengzong was suddenly praised by Zhu Biao, and felt a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and touched his head in confusion, looking very shy.
"To count the acres of land and find out the population of the people, this approach will benefit the country and the people. If you have a heart for the people, I am willing to leave this matter to you."
Zhu Biao looked at Tang Shengzong and said, "Marquis Yan An, will you accept this task?"
"Your Highness gives us Tang Shengzong's face, how can we not continue?"
Tang Shengzong beat his chest loudly and said to Zhu Biao swornly: "Your Highness, please rest assured, if we count one less person or one less acre of land, you can twist off our heads and use them as chamber pots."
"Hahaha, it won't happen, it won't happen."
Zhu Biao was amused by Tang Shengzong's "silliness" and said to Tang Shengzong: "When you come back after finishing your work, I will ask for credit from Your Majesty!"
Tang Shengzong said with a naive smile: "We don't need any credit. As long as we are good to the people, it is better than anything else!"
After talking about the matter, Tang Shengzong felt that he was alone and might not be too busy, so he said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, can I find someone to do this with me?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tang Shengzong is looking for someone to work with him. He is not looking for someone to work under him, but a partner.
Zhu Biao did not agree immediately, but asked: "Who do you want to partner with you?"
"Old Lu, Lu Zhongheng!"
Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng had a good relationship, and both of them had similar statuses. There was no superior-subordinate relationship, so Tang Shengzong's first choice was Lu Zhongheng.
"Marquis Ji'an?"
Zhu Biao shook his head and said to Tang Shengzong: "You should choose another one. I think Wu Minhou Liao Yong'an is good."
Did something happen to Lao Lu?
Tang Shengzong wanted to know the reason. If Lu Zhongheng committed a crime, he would intercede with Zhu Biao.
Judging from Zhu Biao's intention, Lu Zhongheng didn't seem to be recognized by him.
Out of concern for his brother, Tang Shengzong asked and wanted to know how Lu Zhongheng was doing, but before he could ask, Zhu Biao told him directly: "Lu Zhongheng has done too much, no one can save him."
In other words, Lu Zhongheng must die.
Tang Shengzong wanted to say a few more words, but looking at Zhu Biao's look, he didn't seem to want him to continue.
After mumbling for a while, he finally said nothing.
Now that Tang Shengzong is still guilty, how can he help others plead for mercy?
Forget it, let's just settle for our destiny.
…
Zhu Biao had been working in silence. After he had investigated all the circumstances, he went to Zhu Yuanzhang with a thick pile of materials.
But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even look at it, and said directly to Zhu Biao: "Don't look for us, go to your uncle. You two can do this, and I won't participate."
This shows Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in Zhu Han.
As an emperor who cared for the people, he did not participate in issues closely related to the people. Instead, he left the task of educating children and taking care of the people to Zhu Han. This shows that Zhu Han was completely in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
trustworthy.
Especially when it comes to issues concerning the common people, Zhu Han can be trusted unconditionally.
Zhu Biao was also happy to go to Zhu Han, because when Zhu Biao faced Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang always had a straight face and talked about national affairs. Zhu Biao always felt stressed when he and Zhu Yuanzhang were together.
However, it is different when facing Zhu Han. It is not that there is no pressure, but that there is no need to think about what pressure is.
Two words: freedom.
Even in front of Ma Xiuying, he has never been so relaxed and comfortable.
Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang treated Zhu Biao differently.
"Uncle, I'm here to find you!"
After Zhu Biao found Zhu Han, he happily handed the work papers he had completed during this period to Zhu Han, then sat on a chair and said to Zhu Han: "Uncle, do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry."
Zhu Han looked at the information Zhu Biao brought and responded without raising his head: "Yes, go find it yourself."
"okay."
Zhu Biao went to find something to eat and soon came over with dried meat and fruits. He sat down to eat while waiting for Zhu Han's final review results.
Zhu Han read very slowly, reading every sentence and every word in great detail. Zhu Biao was satisfied with Zhu Han's actions from the bottom of his heart, and he felt respected by Zhu Han.
After a long time, Zhu Han read the manuscript in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Zhu Biao: "If it were my brother who handled it, the final result would not be the same as yours."
"Yes."
Zhu Biao obviously took this into consideration and explained to Zhu Han: "Uncle, it's like this. You and dad both created the Ming Dynasty from scratch. I'm just sitting back and enjoying the success. There will be no war in the world in the future, so there are some confrontations.
It's not on the battlefield, but in the court. If I were in a high position, I could push it as hard as my father, but I can't do that. I still have to abide by the corresponding rules without touching the bottom line.
"
"That's what you're talking about."
Zhu Han took the manuscript given by Zhu Biao and said to Zhu Biao: "You just need to remember that Ming Dynasty works for the people. Our most important task is to make the people live a better life, not to take care of the interests of the courtiers.
"
"Yes, uncle, I understand."
Zhu Biao responded with a smile, and then said to Zhu Han: "How did I handle it this time? Uncle, please give me a review."
"It's not bad. You've been beaten where you need to be, you've been dealt with where you need to be, and you've also managed to win people's hearts. Tang Shengzong, this stupid guy, actually followed you. I didn't expect that."
To be able to convince Tang Shengzong, Zhu Biao had two skills.
As for the nobles who were designated by Zhu Biao to be dealt with, such as Lu Zhongheng, Zhu Han had nothing to say when he was dealt with. This kid did too much and deserved to be established.
Zhu Han is not a cold-blooded person. The old brothers who once followed him and Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world are becoming fewer and fewer every day. How can Zhu Han not miss them?
However, don't be too arrogant as a person.
It has violated the original intention and this person has changed his character. Such people cannot treat them as brothers. Therefore, you must be cruel when you should be cruel!
"Xiao Lu... give him a good time when the time comes, don't let him suffer."
This may be the last thing Zhu Han can do for his old brother Lu Zhongheng.
After hearing this, Zhu Biao nodded: "Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely make arrangements and won't make it too difficult for you or make his departure too ugly."
"good."
Zhu Han was very satisfied, patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good boy, you are becoming more and more like an adult. If you practice hard for a few more years, you will be able to stand alone."
Zhu Biao said humbly but sincerely: "Where are we now? Uncle and I are still far behind. Uncle, you usually don't like to deal with government affairs, but if I have something to do, can I come to you?"
"Can."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement, but told Zhu Biao very seriously: "If you want to grow into an independent person, you can! I also support it, but you must take good care of your body. Your body is the capital of your work. You have to do it for an hour every day.
Do you know that you need to sleep for four hours to exercise?"
ah?
so long?
There are only twelve hours in a day. Just for sleeping and exercising, you have to go out for five hours. How is this allowed?
Zhu Biao felt that he had taken too long a rest, but Zhu Han did not discuss it with him, but sternly warned Zhu Biao that he must do so.
It was not only Zhu Yuanzhang who had high hopes for Zhu Biao, but also Zhu Han.
Zhu Han knew the direction of history. Zhu Biao died young, which became the heaviest pain for the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhu Di became the Yongle Emperor, he was completely different from Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao is the best successor to the Ming Dynasty!
History says that Zhu Biao's death was due to overwork, and it was also due to Zhu Yuanzhang.
In Zhu Han's view, Zhu Biao's death was mainly influenced by Zhu Yuanzhang.
As one of the rare "Liver Emperors" in history, how could Zhu Biao withstand such high-intensity work?
Therefore, not only Zhu Biao but also Zhu Yuanzhang was influenced by Zhu Han in this life, and he slept for at least eight hours a day.
Zhu Biao also felt Zhu Han's concern for his boxing from his words, and a warmth spread in his heart: "Thank you for your concern, uncle. I will definitely take good care of my body."
"You said you can take care of me if you can? You are only thirteen years old. It is the time when you are growing up, but you have to work hard."
Zhu Han shook his head and said to Zhu Biao: "From now on, I will ask the imperial doctor to check your body once a month. Not only you, but also my brother and sister-in-law. I will personally supervise you to do this. If anyone disobeys, I will
No mercy."
"Why, you want to show no mercy to us?"
Zhu Yuanzhang strode in and saw Zhu Han said dissatisfiedly: "Check your body, check your body, we are in good health, what should we check for? Checking over and over again, and drinking soup and medicine after the check-up, isn't this a waste of money?"
