Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Li Shanchang made a direct statement, he patted his chest and said to Zhu Tao.

"King Dingyuan just say it directly. As long as it is something you ask me to do, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, I will definitely do it for you. This is also my honor."

Zhu Tao scratched his head, and said helplessly.

"Actually, it's nothing else. When you go back to report, don't say that I gave you an idea, so as not to cause trouble for me."

Now, it was Li Shanchang's turn to be a little puzzled, the proposal of the North and South List was too wonderful, if it was someone else, it would be too late to ask for credit, how could he dodge.

You must know that such a proposal will completely change the court structure in the next few decades or even hundreds of years, and it is really indispensable.

He looked at Zhu Tao with some puzzlement and asked.

"Although I can promise you this matter, I don't understand why you refuse to tell His Majesty. You should be regarded as the benefactor of the northern students and have made great contributions to the court. You should be happy."

Zhu Tao glared at Li Shanchang, and said helplessly.

"I said, Lao Li, we have been getting along very well all the time, you can't cheat me, don't you really know why I don't want to mention this matter? If my father finds out, he will definitely arrest me again work."

Li Shanchang shook his head, thinking that this dude's temper really can't be changed, with such an all-round talent, he just wants to hang around and wait to die, Zhu Tao is really a god.

"Prince Dingyuan, please rest assured that I am the best friend. I will go to meet the Holy Majesty in a while, and just say that I came up with this plan. It seems that I will be greedy."

Zhu Tao waved his hands and said indifferently.

"It's just a small matter, why bother to take it to heart? Just ask me if you have anything in the future, but as long as His Majesty asks you, you say you thought it up yourself. I still have something to do, so I won't leave it to you." is you."

Li Shanchang is also very curious. Zhu Tao is now the king of Dingyuan County, and he doesn't see any more inventions and creations every day. On the contrary, he is busier than before.

So, out of curiosity, he asked a question.

"Prince Dingyuan has a lot to deal with every day, so I won't bother you much, but I don't know what else you have to do in a while. If you need help, I can also help you deal with it."

Zhu Tao shook his head and said very plainly.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. The two tenants in the village, Zhang Laosan and Niu Laowu, have already had an awkward dispute over the fact that the cattle stepped on the field. Let me mediate."

After hearing this, Li Shanchang almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Zhu Tao was the Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty. Although he was only a nominal prince of Dingyuan County and was personally appointed by His Majesty, he was distracted by the noise of these tenants every day, which was really unimaginable.

But for him, these are not important. The matter of the North and South Rankings has been resolved, and he can retreat unscathed.

Zhu Yuanzhang had been waiting anxiously for Li Shanchang when he was on duty in the cabinet, but the second cabinet assistant was not there all the time. He was obviously waiting in a hurry.

Li Shanchang hurried back, seeing Zhu Yuanzhang waiting here, he immediately kowtowed to apologize.

"Your Majesty, I am late. Please punish my negligence. I am willing to downgrade and punish my salary as a warning to my ministers."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head. If this matter could not be handled properly, it might not be as simple as demotion and fine. Enke Director Li Shanchang would be charged with dereliction of duty and dismissed from office to return home.

"Shanchang, we are not talking with you about how to punish crimes, but I want to ask you, is there a proper solution to this matter?"

Li Shanchang swallowed his saliva, he actually wanted to tell the whole story about Zhu Tao's method entrusted to him, and then said that he only wanted to understand this matter after asking King Dingyuan.

But I can't do that. If I tell Zhu Tao's matter this time, it will not be so easy to ask for a strategy next time.

If he didn't say anything, then facing Zhu Yuanzhang would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. Before he could figure it out, he was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

Zhu Yuanzhang also asked with concern.

"What's the matter? Could it be that you're a little swaying, you must pay attention to your health when you are busy with official duties, you are the minister of our Daming."

Li Shanchang said quickly.

"Your Majesty, I have already thought of a way, that is to divide the admissions into the southern list and the northern list, so that there will be no more injustice caused by regional disputes."

After finishing speaking, he repeated the set of methods learned from Zhu Tao to Zhu Yuanzhang verbatim.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the prince Zhu Biao next to him were all applauded after listening to it. This method is really amazing.

Whoever said that Li Shanchang was incompetent as the head of the courtiers, this idea is very brilliant.

For a division between the North and the South rankings, the students in the North and the South are considered separately, so that no one can tell the right and wrong, and the matter is perfectly resolved.

Zhu Biao always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, so he asked after thinking about it.

"Li Xiangguo, this matter is very difficult and tricky. It's a good idea for you to come up with this idea, but I have a doubt. I hope you can help solve it."

As soon as Zhu Biao said this, Li Shanchang was taken aback. He didn't come up with this idea himself. If there were any difficult problems for him, he really didn't know what to say.

But until now, he had no choice but to rush the ducks to the shelves, he said, cupping his hands.

"Prince, you don't have to be polite. If you have any questions, you can ask them. I know everything, and I can't stop talking."

Zhu Biao nodded, and then he asked Li Shanchang.

"In fact, this is a very simple matter. Although the method of the North and South List is very effective, it cannot prevent some people from cheating by changing their household registration. I don't know if Li Xiangguo has any way to curb this."

Now, Li Shanchang didn't know what to do. He was overjoyed when he heard this method just now, so he came to report to Zhu Yuanzhang without further investigation.

As a result, Zhu Biao asked him all of a sudden, and he didn't know how to answer, so he stood there in a daze.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Yuanzhang already understood seven or eight points, and said.

"Shanchang, tell us the truth. You didn't come up with this idea yourself. If you conceal something, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor. You know what it is."

No matter how stupid Li Shanchang was, he knew that he would rather offend Zhu Tao than offend the emperor.

If Zhu Yuanzhang's Longyan was angry, not to mention dismissing the official and seizing the title, he would take his own life, and it would be nothing more than a sentence.
