Chapter 319: Moved a stone and smashed myself in the foot
The refugees in Nanchang City were already overcrowded. At the beginning, the government could barely provide relief, and the Ningwang Mansion could also take care of a few, but the number of people gradually increased. This little profit was only a drop in the bucket. The money and food allocated by the court
It was not yet here, and at this time, the Nanchang Prefect, who had originally complained about building the road, was eager to get the road through.
After the construction of the road from Nantongzhou to Lianzhou, the court issued another decree, that the prefecture with more than 100,000 households must build roads to connect to this main road. In doing so, of course, the court saw this road.
The reason why it can strengthen control over the prefectures, and the imperial court has also issued an order. The imperial court has launched 80% of the roads, and only 20% of the roads are needed in the local area. Building roads has also become an indicator for the assessment of officials in various places. Your official voice is
It is average, but the political achievements may not be outstanding, but as long as the road is repaired, there is still a chance of promotion.
In the Nanchang Prefecture, he originally wanted to build a road, but obviously, King Ning seemed unwilling to do so. After consulting with the Nanchang Prefecture, the Nanchang Prefecture checked the household registration and finally changed the household registration to 90,000 households.
Once it comes, it does not meet the standard of more than 100,000 households in the imperial court.
It is said that after the construction of the Chi Road, it takes about half a month to start the waterway from Beitongzhou to Nantongzhou, and then pass through the Chi Road, but it takes about half a month to spend on ordinary commercial goods, but the money and grain for relief can only be seven or eight days.
At this time, the Nanchang prefect was obviously a little regretful, but he usually received a lot of benefits from the Ning Prince's Mansion, and at this time he could only knock down his front teeth and swallow it.
But there is no good news. At least, many refugees near Nanchang Prefecture have not lost their scale to Nanchang. Many of them have gone south. It is said that they are going to Jingdezhen. Jingdezhen is able to produce excellent blue and white porcelain.
In the early Ming Dynasty, a special official kiln was set up here. However, in recent years, various private kilns have emerged, and there are countless merchants in Jingdezhen. In a year, hundreds of private kilns have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
The reason why I chose to make porcelain here is that on the one hand, there are rich clay here, and I can mine it on the spot. The second is that there are many craftsmen here, and the porcelain made here often has a good reputation, whether it is Tongzhou, Beijing, or intact.
Merchants in the state love it very much.
A large number of private kilns naturally require a lot of manpower. It is said that craftsmen and laborers are recruiting everywhere in Jingdezhen County. These refugees also want to try their luck. Even if they can be an ordinary labor there, they can at least temporarily settle down.
It is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and you can also make a living.
In this way, Nanchang City can at least slow down its breath pressure.
The Ning Palace in the snow and ice time is still solemn and solemn. At this moment, when the imperial edict was passed here, the atmosphere in the mansion suddenly became tense. Zhu Chenhao, the king of Shanggao, was also shocked and hurried to the Ning Palace to see him.
Father, the distance from Nanchang is not far away, but it is not close, one or two hundred miles away, but now the official road is covered with snow and muddy roads, and it still takes more than three hours.
Zhu Chenhao went straight into the inner palace and then entered the study room of Ning Wang. In the study room, under the dark lights, Zhu Jinjun's face turned pale. At this moment, no one knew what he was thinking but in his eyes.
The coldness passed by, even Zhu Chenhao was a little scared, and his father was really angry.
Zhu Chenhao took a deep breath and said, "Father, what happened? Didn't it mean that the court issued an imperial edict? What kind of marriage is given? Which family of marriage is given?"
Zhu Jinjun exclaimed and said, "You can see it yourself."
When Zhu Anhao saw that there was indeed an imperial edict on Zhu Jinjun's desk, he immediately went to take it and looked at it. He was stunned and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "That boy Zhu Youzhe really wants to bear this Liu Chengfeng?"
The importance of Liu Chengfeng has been highlighted. At least the information from Ning Wang has confirmed that Liu Chengfeng’s Jubao Building has a great impact on the palace. When Jubao Building enters the golden bucket every day, most of them are directly charged into the inner warehouse.
It is precisely because of this that the Ning Wang and his son felt a sense of crisis. They had no choice but to take a risky move and decided to mess up the waters of the capital first. Who knew that the court suddenly had such an imperial edict, and it was still a marriage grant.
This is clearly a mistake. I really want to let King Ning give up his love and fulfill Liu Chengfeng.
The problem is, even if King Ning is willing to give up love and marry the princess to Liu Chengfeng, the court will really trust Liu Chengfeng, and aren’t afraid that Liu Chengfeng and his son will have in-laws and collude with Ning Wang and his son?
Originally, Zhu Jinjun didn't believe that Zhu Youzhe had this belly, but now...
Zhu Jinjun smiled bitterly: "Since the imperial court issued this imperial edict, I believe the emperor has really had this ambition. The court suddenly did this, and this is a trick."
Zhu Chenhao said angrily: "I am just such a sister, how can I marry Liu Chengfeng? This matter will never be done."
Zhu Jinjun said unhappily: "But the court has issued an order to marry, and we have also informed Zong Ling's mansion in advance that we are willing to marry Dexing. Even if we have to regret it at this time, it is probably too late."
Zhu Chenhao fought a cold war: "The father really wants to send Dexing to the capital. If this is true, I am afraid... I am afraid that even if Liu Chengfeng marrys Dexing, he will...
”
I didn't say much about the following words, but the meaning is very clear. Liu Chengfeng and Ning Wang are irreconcilable. Once the person is married, the person will be ruined. At that time, Liu Chengfeng is still alive.
Take whatever you want.
I thought that using this name to mix up the waters of the capital, the purpose seemed to have been achieved, but who knew that the court suddenly took such a move, not only firmly holding the initiative in his hands, but also letting the father and son of Ning Wang.
It was like eating a fly, and the father and son were stunned. At this time, he really didn't know what to do.
Zhu Jinjun was also in a dilemma. After all, it was his own flesh and blood, so why would he be willing to push it into the fire pit like this? However, the imperial edict for marriage had been issued. Even if he refused at this time, it would be too late. After all, they would mention the marriage first.
Now everyone in the world knows what you have come out. If you refuse at this time, it’s not a slap in the face. It’s obvious that I’m telling the court that I’m teasing you and if you have the ability, you can bite me.
"Father..." Zhu Chenhao jumped angrily and said, "This matter must not be done. Dexing really went to the capital. Not only did we lose face, Dexing's life was ruined. It would be better to do this.
I went to Beijing to apologize. No matter what, I couldn't marry Wang Mei to that guy Liu Chengfeng."
Zhu Jinjun couldn't help but slapped the table and said angrily: "Nothing!"
Zhu Chenhao was also excited for a moment. Of course, he knew that the Holy Will was difficult to violate. Unless they were raising the flag to rebel now, there was no possibility of them refusing. He had to sigh heavily, sit back on the chair, and say powerlessly.
: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have shot myself in the foot. Who would have thought that the court would follow the flow."
As he spoke, he actually complained that Zhu Jinjun had bad ideas.
Zhu Jinjun couldn't help but get angry, but he couldn't do it. After a long time, he said, "It's necessary for a person to marry, otherwise, the dog emperor will use this excuse to punish us, which is legitimate. However, this matter needs to be discussed for a long time.
”
Zhu Chenhao said: "Is there any way for Father?"
Zhu Jinjun was silent for a moment and said lightly: "Don't be anxious first, let your father think about it again."
A trace of disappointment flashed through Zhu Chenhao's eyes. After a long-term plan, it sounds nice. Now this imperial edict is like a death talisman. Will someone give you time to delay?
Zhu Jinjun was also having trouble at this time. He took the initiative and thought that his plan was perfect. No matter what, he never thought that Zhu Youzhi's sword was a coincidence and was really willing to give him a marriage. In this way, he would have just started to do so.
The son became passive. Princess Dexing was his legitimate daughter. Not to mention that he couldn't bear to marry him, but if King Ning obediently married the princess, he would probably make people laugh. After all, Zhu Jinjun had already
On many occasions, he expressed his disgust towards Liu Chengfeng, and even told people that Liu Chengfeng seems to be loyal but actually contains evil intentions. This person is the one who will be in trouble.
There are quite a few people who heard this, but now they really want him to marry his daughter to Liu Chengfeng. Not only does he eat a fly, but most of them are
Many people in the world laugh at him.
But now, can he still refuse?
After a long time, Zhu Jinjun opened his eyes and then knocked on the desk. Zhu Chenhao quickly raised his head, looked at Zhu Jinjun with hope, and said, "Does your father have any ideas?"
"Sure, yes, but I don't know if it can be done." Zhu Jinjun calmed down and continued silent for a moment: "From today, I will tell Dexing that she is sick now and will not show up in public in the future. Go and invite some people from the city.
The doctor came to consult day and night, and said to the outside world that Dexing had contracted typhoid fever..."
Zhu Chenhao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Father, this matter may not be hidden. What if the imperial court sent him to the imperial doctor for treatment? It will be easy to show up at that time.
Zhu Jinjun shook his head: "This capital has to go to what we should go. As long as we go, the court will not send people to distinguish the authenticity."
Zhu Chenhao couldn't help but say in surprise: "If Dexing doesn't go, what are we going to do? Is it just right for the court to find an excuse to deal with us?"
"Oh... I can only take risks at the moment. Although I can't lead Dexing, I'm not saying that I don't take the princess. Isn't the imperial decree clearly stated in the court's will? Is it possible to let Princess Ning marry, but it may not be said that De is the one who wants to marry Princess Ning.
