Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Good guy, it seems that this shopkeeper is also a strong key administrator.

Zhu Tao complained in his heart.

But think about it, the shopkeeper of a restaurant, of course, needs to know a little bit about everything, so that he can chat with customers without lack of words, which is conducive to attracting repeat customers!
"Yes, I told my father that." Zhu Tao admitted generously.

"But as far as I know, Hu Weiyong already has the heart of disobedience, why not kill him directly to avoid future troubles?" Hu Weiyong asked strangely: "Does the Shaodong family also think that Hu Weiyong is a good official?"

Puchi!

After hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Zhu Tao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"A good official? Just Hu Weiyong? What else would he do besides forming a party for personal gain?" Zhu Tao said, "Has he been the prime minister for so long, does he have any achievements?"

"Did he feed the common people, or made the court more stable?"

Hu Weiyong couldn't help but blush after hearing Zhu Tao's words.

Thinking about it carefully, it is true that he has been working hard to climb the ladder all these years, as if he has never really done anything serious.

Even the skilled cook in front of him has done more things than him.

"Then why do you want to keep Hu Weiyong alive?"

"That's because this person is not suitable to be a prime minister, but he can be used in other places." Zhu Tao said while cooking: "Da Ming needs to open up trade routes, and even open sea bans, and these roads need someone to implement them. Hu Weiyong It just fits."

"Isn't he good at forming cliques? Whether it's opening up business routes or opening sea bans, it's all work that needs to offend people. Sending him there can win over people with conflicting interests. This person can be regarded as an economic reformer." sharp weapon!"

Hu Weiyong broke into a cold sweat. He didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so ruthless. Opening trade routes and sea bans is a job that will lose his head if he is not careful. After all, the south of the Yangtze River and the seaside are full of businessmen, aristocratic families, and bandits.

However, even if he died on this, it would be better than being beheaded by the emperor. At least his family would not be implicated, and he might even be able to shade his children.

If there is no suspended animation, it seems good to do it after receiving such a task.

Hu Weiyong's thinking gradually diverged.

But soon he smiled wryly and shook his head. It was impossible. If it wasn't for this suspended animation, with his character, he would definitely continue to be the prime minister.

After so many years of hard work and so many years of climbing up, if he is suddenly asked to charge forward, he may not be able to do it.

Hu Weiyong fell into silence, Zhu Tao only thought that he was distracted and was cooking on his own.

Soon, the eight dishes were finished, thanks to the help of the servant girl, otherwise it would have taken me a whole day.

"Father, mother, cousin, try these dishes!" The dishes were served one by one, and Zhu Tao looked very satisfied.

Fortunately, there were chili peppers at the check-in, otherwise, he might want to eat these things, maybe in what year.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the dishes, moved his index finger, and glanced at Zhu Biao proudly.

Your father and I are right, right?If you come later, you won't be able to catch up with these delicious food!
It's better to come early than coincidentally!
What Zhu Tao cooks are home-cooked dishes, but in this era, it can already be called a state banquet level, or even higher.

Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang was half full and took a sip of beer. Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that he still had business to ask.

"Tao'er, last time you told us that we should pay for everything, but after thinking about it, I'm afraid we will encounter a lot of obstacles."

Zhu Yuanzhang regarded what had happened as his own conjecture, and tentatively asked: "Do you think there is any way to implement it smoothly?"

"Are you guessing that Xungui will not agree to this sharing?" Zhu Tao asked.In his impression, Xungui is indeed more greedy for money due to various reasons.

However, expecting generals to be clean is itself nonsense.

Military generals rely on their lives to fight for their future, and they don't need a reputation of incorruptibility.

What's more, you are a noble, you love soldiers like a son, you are invincible, and you are even clean?
what are you going to do thenTo be a saint or an emperor?

"As a father, I think those civil servants will be more difficult to deal with."

Zhu Tao nodded: "Indeed, it's outrageous that civil servants are shameless."

Think about the end of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen cut off the eunuch party and gave Donglin scholars so many benefits, but the enemy came to the door and wanted the civil officials to donate some money, and those civil servants still searched and searched.

It has to be Li Zicheng, who goes directly to the barbecue grill, you don't have to pretend to be poor, if you are poor, just cook it, you either give money or die.

"For civil servants, most of the veterans who founded the country don't have to worry too much." Zhu Tao took a sip of his wine and began to analyze.

"After all, they have a relationship with the country, especially someone like Song Lian who puts integrity on the door."

"None of these people lack that bit of wealth. On the contrary, the newly promoted officials, who have just become rentiers, are equivalent to losing their chance to become big landlords. Even if they annex the land, they will still earn money. Not too many. Especially with the possibility of these people clumping together."

"That's right, that's right, it's them... We just think they might cause trouble." Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly. Seeing that Zhu Tao analyzed the current situation so easily, he became more confident.

"In general, the solution is just one sentence." Zhu Tao clapped his palms.

"What are you talking about?" Zhu Biao asked curiously. This problem has stumped the entire cabinet and there are many dignitaries, including his father and the prince. They can solve it with one sentence. Are all the fools who come up with a solution?
"This sentence is, give them money and let them die!"

When Hu Weiyong heard this sentence, he seemed to grasp something vaguely, and immediately listened more seriously.

"Tao'er, tell me carefully." Zhu Yuanzhang asked eagerly.

Zhu Tao gave Zhu Yuanzhang a funny look.

My own cheap father is really earning money from merchants and caring about the emperor's heart. You can't use this kind of thing even if you ask.

But Zhu Tao still explained seriously.

"Let them die first." Zhu Tao pointed at the table: "If you want to carry out the plan, someone will stop you, so bloodshed is inevitable."

"If it's an ordinary emperor, it's very likely that the power will collapse, and it's his own blood that is shed. But now the founding emperor is in power, majestic and prosperous, with strong troops and horses, and even killed the Tartars. Are you afraid of a group of scholars?"

"Thus, whoever dares to stop them should be killed. Anyway, there are a lot of officials. The big deal is to clean up a wave. There will be a short-term power vacuum...that is, the vacant positions will be quickly filled by scholars who want to be officials."

"Moreover, these new officials, whether out of fear or gratitude, will become loyal to the Emperor."

"As long as they can be officials, even if they can't become big landlords, they won't complain."
