First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 386

I don't know when it started, people have become accustomed to Master Zhang's position, accustomed to Zhang Ximeng's pattern and bearing, and regard him as a contemporary sage who assists the Holy Master.

But just like people ignore Confucius' terrifying combat power, the big guy seems to ignore Zhang Ximeng, who is the proponent of the "four-stage tactics". Zhang Ximeng knows many of Li Shanchang's manipulation techniques, and even says that the two of them are accomplices.

At this moment, in the face of Liu Futong, who wants to recruit talents and compete with Zhu Yuanzhang for orthodoxy, Zhang Ximeng just wants to laugh at the sky, rest assured, Liu Taibao, Jinling Qunxian, guarantee to meet your needs!

As much as you want, even if it's not enough, I'll find it out for you!

Soon, several special talents gathered under Zhang Ximeng, and the prisoner of war camp lifted Hu Weiyong. This is a slightly yellow complexion, the upper body leans forward, and the image of a cautious and cautious civil servant.

But if you knew about his methods in the prisoner of war camp, you wouldn't think so. It is no exaggeration to say that 90% of the generals of the Zhu family's army have lost more lives than him.

This is a venomous snake crawling under sheepskin.

Of course, he was far from being strong and strong enough. At this moment, he could only shudder and lie on the ground, not daring to take another step.

In addition to Hu Weiyong, it turned out to be Zhu Sheng, who participated in politics, as well as Shi Boren, Liu Sanwu... These few people together, it is really a bit out of tune, belonging to the four kings of the magic family who entered the Northeast Four Heavenly Kings, two people with a style of painting, What can they discuss together?

"Is this, you need a few people to issue a list."

After Liu Sanwu looked at it, he said tremblingly: "Zhang Xiang, I, I thought that there were not many gentry and Confucian scholars in the Lingnan area. Zhang Xiang wants to study again, and there is no shortage of talents. I see, I see, can I raise your hand?"

"can!"

Zhang Ximeng answered simply, but Liu Sanwu was at a loss, so he wouldn't make a mistake again, would he?

This time, Zhu Sheng spoke up. He took out a roster from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Ximeng.

"There are more than 20 gentry and Confucian scholars in Jiangzhou. They are all dissatisfied with their superiors. If Zhang Xiang thinks it is appropriate, send them away."

Zhang Ximeng took it over, looked at it carefully, and frowned slightly, "It's still too much, for example, the Yang family from Ji'an mansion didn't follow the Jie family to seek business in the Ganjiang River, and he has some self-knowledge. Just now, Senator Liu is right, If we want to promote learning, we still need scholars. Even if there is dissatisfaction here, we must divide it into three, six, nine, and so on. If it is not possible, it is also good to send Lingnan to let them teach. There is no need to leave it all to Liu Futong. Here, I still have to make the best use of people and make the best use of their talents, and we have to find a way to peel two layers of skin for a cow!"

Faced with such a terrifying oath, Liu Sanwu was a little dumbfounded. Could it be that his eyes are so blind?

But having said that, he finally understood the trouble. Zhang Ximeng did not intend to purge the scholars, but to send some disobedient people to Liu Futong.

After all, there is no need to die, which is also a good thing.

"Zhang Xiang, I, I have been in Lingnan for a few years, but I can come up with a list, but..."

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about damaging the friendship of your friends. This time it's definitely not a frame-up, it's just that we want to implement Juntian and make various reforms. If there are people who don't like it, then we will give them a way. You can bring some property, go to Bozhou, and join Liu Futong. If Liu Futong can win in the future... and when they return home, if Liu Futong loses... We will also act according to the law. Absolutely nothing else."

Zhang Ximeng said it easily, as if nothing really happened. However, if during the migration, or after arriving in Bozhou, facing the encirclement and suppression of the Yuan court, he lost his life, or even got involved in the infighting of Han and Song, and the life and death of the family were destroyed, then Zhang Ximeng could not manage.

All in all, Zhang Ximeng's attitude is that I am free, you stud!

Then call these people over, and the answer will come out. Zhu Sheng provided the list of Jiangxi, Liu Sanwu provided the list of Lingnan, and Shi Boren provided the list of East Zhejiang.

There are more than a dozen families, and there are three or five families. There are a total of more than 100 people. Basically, they are the most opposed to Juntian and the most disgusted with the Zhu family. Among them are those who claim to be loyal ministers of the Yuan court, and some who claim to be Boyi Shuqi, and those who said they would swear to defend Confucius and Mencius, anyway, there are all kinds of varieties, ensuring that the categories are complete.

Didn't Liu Futong want to maintain the orthodoxy of the Great Song Dynasty?

Rest assured, it is guaranteed to be the original flavor of the Song Dynasty, and the fine tradition of linking the party for selfishness and criticizing each other is maintained, and strive to become bigger and stronger, and create greater glories!

However, for Zhang Ximeng, these people are just extras. What they really want to send away is the dregs accumulated over the years. It is best to clean them up once, and ask for nothing else. If they can live in peace for three or five years, they have already made a lot of money.

In fact, it is hard to say how many messes Zhu Jiajun has accumulated over the years, but it is definitely an astronomical number.

For example, the number of Yuan troops that have been captured has definitely exceeded 200,000.

In these 200,000 miles, in addition to Kang Maocai and Zhu Liangzu, those who were incorporated into the Zhu Family Army, there were also those who had been reformed, those who were still in hard labor, and those who were still in the early 100,000 years.

These people are all under the control of Hu Weiyong. In addition, the implementation of the equalization of land in various places, of course, the innocent families, but the tyrants and landlords, their relatives and minions, and the thugs they support, as well as bandits, gangsters, and yamen. , The old officials of the Yuan court who were dismissed, especially those who had done a lot of bad things, were very angry and were not enough to be executed.

Add up to as many as one or two hundred thousand.

Under the current rule of Zhu Yuanzhang, the total population is over 20 million. Among them, Huaixi, including Yangzhou, has about 2 million people. Yingtian and other places add up to more than 10 million.

In Jiangxi, before the Red Turban Uprising, there were more than 14 million people, and now there are more than 11 million people.

The three places together, that is, more than 20 million people, constitute the basic plan of Zhu Yuanzhang.

With such a large population, there are more than 300,000 scumbags, and an average of 100 people, one and a half of them have problems.

If this is not dealt with, it will explode sooner or later, with unimaginable consequences.

"Zhang Xiang, Xiaguan dared to advise, although these people are not talented, but under Xiaguan's hands, they can still do things honestly. If the superiors want to repair rivers and build cities, they naturally cannot do without labor, and these people will die. Use, even if you're exhausted, you won't feel bad, I don't know what Zhang Xiang thinks?"

Zhang Ximeng listened in his ears and smiled slightly, "Hu Tiju, let me ask you, are you willing to lift the prisoner of war camp for the rest of your life?"

"This...Xieguan, Xieguan is willing to do anything for the superior, and ask Zhang Xiangming to check." Hu Weiyong said tremblingly.

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "I don't mean anything else, it's inevitable that you've made a contribution and a step up. I mean it can't go on like this forever, after all, everyone has a heart of sympathy, it's hundreds of thousands of people, it's not good Hundreds of thousands of animals. You are loyal and reliable, the lord has the will to promote you, and I am also happy to see you go up... But people in the officialdom always pay attention to reputation, don't you think?"

Hu Weiyong's eyes widened subconsciously, the flesh on his cheeks twitched, surprised and happy, he couldn't control himself... A step higher!

He dreamed of managing a prisoner of war camp. After all, it was a dirty job. After staying here for a long time, his reputation was bad, and the courtiers were unwilling to play with him. possible.

In fact, Zhang Ximeng didn't say a word. One day, in order to whitewash himself, Hu Weiyong may ask for a pardon for these people, and use this as a capital for promotion.

Again, hundreds of thousands of people are not a trivial matter, and it would be best if they could be resolved early.

"Hu Weiyong, do things more beautifully. Now that the lord wants to add another department, it is necessary to have competent officials and officials." Zhang Ximeng just said lightly, then picked up the tea bowl and lowered his head to drink tea.

Hu Weiyong was overjoyed. Isn't the newly established tax department?

Let yourself be the secretary of the tax department?

This is a good thing!

He was about to thank him and say a few good words, but when he saw Zhang Ximeng holding up the teacup, he realized that Zhang Xiang didn't want to listen to this, and it seems that people's promotion of you is really out of public interest.

Hu Weiyong got up and walked out silently, without three steps, suddenly, Hu Weiyong turned around, knelt on the ground again, silently kowtowed to Zhang Ximeng, and then bowed back, extremely humble and submissive.

After he left, Zhang Ximeng put down the teacup, stared at the man's back, and sighed slightly.

Sure enough, even if some people know that they are not good people, they still have to use them, not only to be able to do things, but also to be sensible!

The new tax department will definitely **** financial power with the household department. It will bring up business tax, and when necessary, it will also **** the land tax to unify the financial power. System, help the poor and the distressed, and do a good job in the governance of the bottom.

It's just that Hu Weiyong, the vicious dog, will definitely swell after completing this task. Who will be used to kill him at that time?

Zhang Ximeng thought silently... Anyway, he arranged Hu Weiyong clearly.

And Hu Weiyong himself doesn't know that once he sees the benefits, he can even die. He really took action.

In a short period of time ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the first batch of "talents" set out from Huaixi and came towards Kaifeng.

It turned out that Liu Futong's Northern Expedition had already achieved results, and he also moved the capital of the Han and Song Dynasties from Bozhou to Kaifeng Bianliang.

That's right, what Wanyan Gou failed to do, Liu Futong did for him, and the Song Dynasty finally returned to the old capital.

Originally, Liu Futong didn't feel much about these things, but Zhu Yuanzhang could go to Yashan to offer sacrifices and write articles to show off.

He held hands to perform martial arts, and had a good celebration. He also asked Han Liner to sacrifice to heaven and earth, and announced that they would return to the old capital. They were the orthodox of the Great Song Dynasty, and they were even more orthodox than Wanyan Gou in Lin'an!

At this time, Zhao Jizu happily told Liu Futong that the first batch of 30,000 great Song Zhongliang, Shilin Xiancai, had arrived!

"Really? There are so many people here! It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang is really unpopular! I want to meet him in person!" Liu Futong laughed and was ecstatic.
