Three hundred and twentieth eight chapters crooked door trail
The restaurants and warehouses near the dock are all rented from others. They are restricted by the lease, and the initiative does not lie with them.
In Shopkeeper Ma’s view, Zhu Hao has connections and background in Prince Xing’s Mansion. If Prince Xing’s Mansion really comes forward to repair the river embankment in the second half of the year and build Zhu Hao’s residence, shop and warehouse in a higher-lying area planned in the ferry area, then he will
Li's house demolition business will reach a higher level.
It's just that he doesn't quite understand... Why did Zhu Hao hand over those old warehouses to the Zhu family? If there is no flooding this summer, wouldn't it be a waste of money for the Zhu family?
Regarding this.
Zhu Hao is very confident.
Because in history, in the late years of Zhengde, the Han River flooded almost every year, especially in the summer of the eleventh year of Zhengde, the flood suddenly overflowed the river embankment, and Anlu was a vast ocean, with countless people killed and injured. Prince Xing's Mansion was involved in disaster relief
His outstanding achievements have been vividly recorded in history books.
It doesn't matter how much Xingwangfu did in this disaster relief. What matters is that Zhu Houcong had already become emperor when the local chronicles were compiled, and public opinion needs to highlight the role of Xingwangfu in this disaster relief.
Zhu Hao knew that his appearance would produce a butterfly effect.
It stands to reason that the changes he brought about would bring about more changes in the humanities, and may even affect when Zhu Houzhao will die and whether Zhu Houcong will become emperor... However, the impact on astronomy and geography is minimal, and it is impossible to say that he appeared.
The Han River will not flood this year.
Zhu Hao took advantage of the flood to sublet all his low-lying shops and warehouses by the Han River, and asked the Zhu family to put goods inside as much as possible, and when the flood came... oh, invest all the money.
It was ruined... This way, the old lady could taste the ups and downs, and save the Zhu family from having to make some trouble every day.
Only when your economic foundation collapses will the superstructure be shaken, and you will not be so arrogant and domineering that you think you have the final say in Anlu.
The Zhu family will definitely be suspicious of handing over the lease and business for no reason, and Zhu Hao also wants to use this in exchange for some actual benefits. There must be a suitable reason, and it is best if the Zhu family takes the initiative to fight for it...
I thought I succeeded, and then exploded on the spot...
This requires careful planning.
…
…
Zhu Hao later went home and told Zhu Niang about handing over the Fukou Residence and Warehouse to the Zhu family. Zhu Niang was very curious: "Our business is doing well, why should we sell it out or fill the Zhu family's bottomless pit?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Mom, Prince Xing's Mansion will repair the river embankment this year. Wouldn't it be good if we asked the Prince's Mansion to plan a place for us to build our own residence, shop and warehouse? Our warehouse outside the city is not small now.
But we are always being blackmailed, and we won’t discuss raising the rent with us at the beginning of this year? Even if we make some money, we can’t always push the benefits to others.”
"Um."
Zhu Niang thought about it carefully and found that it made some sense.
When she first started running the warehouse and store business, Zhu Niang didn't have much confidence, so she thought of renting a warehouse to run the business. Su Xigui only bought two small warehouses in the local area, and Su Xigui rented the rest of the houses.
Real estate in the ferry area is basically monopolized by large families with government backgrounds. It is not easy to buy property there.
Zhu Hao said: "There are things we can't take care of in the collapsed house business. This time we will share some with the Zhu family... Wouldn't it be nice to ease the relationship with the family? This is also in line with the filial piety that my mother has always admired."
"ah?"
Zhu Niang looked at Zhu Hao with surprised eyes.
In the past, it was your mother who talked about filial piety in front of you, but your boy always pushed back. Now that your mother has seen the reality clearly and no longer talks about filial piety and etiquette to the Zhu family, your boy suddenly changed his gender and came to teach your mother about filial piety.
?
"By the way, mother, the newly arrived magistrate has implemented a merchant company guarantee system in the local area. The merchants in the ferry market must form alliances with each other. It is said to prevent thieves from coming again, but in fact it is to use the opportunity to get the merchants to spend money to build unrealistic fortresses.
, fence, so that he could enrich his own pockets, we used this as an excuse, saying that the ferry merchants did not want to associate with us, and that the houses of the big families were no longer willing to rent to us, so we gave the warehouse to the Zhu family. "
Zhu Hao told him his plan.
Everything must have a reason. Even if it benefits the Zhu family, it cannot make them suspect that there is any conspiracy involved.
Zhu Niang frowned: "Leave the business to your family, why go to such trouble?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "These are all necessary steps, no step can be omitted, and we cannot run and tell the family ourselves, but let the Zhu family find out for themselves and take the initiative to talk to us... Mom, relax,
I have asked Shopkeeper Ma to spread the word secretly, and it is estimated that the Zhu family will know in the next few days that there is a problem with our operation of the collapsed house... Then we will hand over the business, and our filial piety will be fulfilled."
No matter how she heard it, Zhu Niang felt there was something wrong: "Xiao Hao, I heard that your plan seems to have some ulterior motive? If it is a good thing, why do you hide it?"
It's rare that Zhu Niang got enlightened and actually smelled the smell of conspiracy.
Zhu Hao grinned happily, like an innocent child: "I am doing this with good intentions, but I am afraid that the Zhu family will doubt our intentions and if anything happens in the future, it will be blamed on us."
Zhu Niang nodded. Zhu Hao didn't explain it in detail to her. Even if she heard some clues, it was all in the dark. Since she couldn't understand it, she stopped asking.
…
…
It will obviously take a while from the time the news gets out to when the Zhu family takes action.
Fortunately, it has just entered May and there is still one month left before the summer floods, so there is no need to worry.
In the palace.
As expected, Fan Yikuan left. He left very quietly. When he came, he left quietly and even more suddenly. When class time came that day, Tang Yin showed up in class and told a few kids that Mr. Fan had left An early in the morning.
Lu, there was no one to see him off, and his words were very melancholy.
It's not that the people in the palace are unkind, but Fan Yikuan has a stubborn personality. In just half a year in the palace, he got to know Tang Yin, a reasonably eloquent friend. He lived in seclusion and rarely interacted with others. All this can only be blamed on Fan Yikuan.
He has a sullen face and likes to train people whenever he has nothing to do...
Who likes to talk to an old scholar who is always criticizing and correcting himself?
Next, Tang Yin gave a lecture for about half an hour, asking several children to review their homework first, and then called Zhu Hao to the podium. Just as he was about to speak, he turned around and found that the children's reading voices were much quieter, and they all couldn't help but go.
Peeping here, he immediately shook his head, took Zhu Hao outside to the yard, found a shady corner, and then whispered: "Zhang Tixue from this province will return to the provincial capital in a few days after inspecting the various capitals.
Passing by Anluzhou City, King Xing has ordered me to come and receive you... I want to take you to pay a visit."
Zhu Hao asked curiously: "Have you settled the matter in Prince Xiang's Mansion? Now you actually want to take me to see Tixue?"
Tang Yin said with a smile: "The palace is not too concerned about receiving the envoys from Prince Xiang's Palace. It probably means letting them dry out for a while to kill their energy... Anyway, those fields have been sown this year, and the autumn harvest will have to wait a while.
There is no need to rush to get it back in time."
"oh."
Zhu Hao nodded.
Sure enough, as expected, Prince Xiang's Mansion sent someone over for negotiation first, but Prince Xing's Mansion turned away and made Tang Yin neglect him?
Now the conflict between the two sides will deepen.
"Is there any problem?" Tang Yin asked.
Zhu Hao shook his head: "Have you forgotten what I told you... If you cause any trouble now, will you, the person in charge, be left with nothing to eat?"
Tang Yin sighed: "You are still too scheming... Actually, this is King Xing's intention. Even if the rift between the two parties deepens, you can't put all the blame on me alone? Besides, it's just a field."
Disputes, so that you don't even care about the friendship between relatives?"
It was obvious that Tang Yin felt that his position in the palace was becoming more and more stable, and he felt a little overwhelmed.
It's not Tang Yin's fault, the main reason is that he has been so popular in Prince Xing's Mansion recently that even Yuan Zonggao feels inferior to him, which gives him the illusion that he is omnipotent...
This is also related to Tang Yinxin's arrogant character. For such a prodigal, once life enters the comfort zone, the vigilance of an imminent crisis will disappear.
"Zhang Tixue is still missing. I am too young and don't want to cause trouble... It seems that the first time I went to the Confucian Temple to meet Fan Xuezheng caused a lot of trouble. The local scholar atmosphere has been brought about by my appearance.
There are a lot of bad rumors spread, so I would rather keep a low profile and study quietly."
Zhu Hao is not an official figure that everyone wants to meet.
Although to a certain extent, Zhang Bangqi is likely to determine whether he can pass the exams for students or even be elected in the future, but if a child takes advantage of the relationship with the palace to go through the back door, any honest Confucian official will not say it to his face, but there will be a feeling in his heart.
disgust.
"In that case, it's up to you. If you think about it, tell me anytime."
Tang Yin didn't force it, but his tone inevitably revealed a displeasure of "If you don't accept my kindness, you are ignorant."
Zhu Hao didn't take Tang Yin's little mood to heart at all.
This year is the year of the provincial examination.
Wherever Zhang Bangqi passes by, he will definitely become the target of many candidates. There will definitely be many people visiting him privately, and his every move will attract everyone's attention.
These days, Zhang Bangqi has the discretionary power to "take the public examination". In fact, Zhang Bangqi has a lot of power, just because he is a Confucian official, and the people who take the examination are all Confucian students, and the most taboo thing for scholars is to talk about fame and fortune in public.
So it seems that Zhang Bangqi is just an ordinary deputy envoy for studying and has no local administrative jurisdiction...
Historically, Zhang Bangqi served as deputy envoy to Huguang for more than two terms during the late Zhengde period.
However, in the second half of his third term, he returned to his hometown because of the system. The imperial court never appointed a new deputy envoy for academic affairs. The matter of local examinations fell into the hands of the Huguang Chief Envoy. It seems that there is not much point in currying favor with Zhang Bangqi now, because
Zhu Hao knew that when he took the provincial examination, the examiner might not be Zhang Bangqi.
Why should he engage in such crooked ways as a child and be attacked by the local scholars, saying that his admission to school was all due to his connections with the Prince's Palace?
Tang Yin suddenly became the main person in the palace's external publicity. On weekdays, whenever the palace needed to contact people about anything, it was Tang Yin who came forward. This kind of unparalleled limelight made Zhu Hao feel very dangerous.
You, Tang Yin, came to the palace just so that you could play the role of a good teacher. It turned out that you were lucky, and now you have become the backbone of the palace. It seems that you have benefited in the short term, but in the long run... you have established a strong relationship with the prince.
The relationship is most in line with the current interests.
How can I explain it to you?
Could it be that according to historical development, your student will be the emperor in a few years? Now you should put more thought and energy into cultivating this student instead of thinking about earning performance in the palace.
What a big achievement.
