Daming Junior Scholar

After a pause, Wang Lun's voice seemed to become gloomy: "That is...rebellion."

Isn't it just that I don't want to go to the capital? Why do I have to rebel to solve it?

Zhu Yi opened his mouth involuntarily, and when he looked at Wang Lun again, the expression on his face was as if he was about to cry. When he came, he had already agreed on something, why did Mr. Wang come here? Changed his mind, this is good, even if the father didn't want to send him out just now, it is impossible not to send him out now.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yi quickly turned to King Ning, pulled his arm and begged bitterly: "Father, save me, I really don't want to go to the capital, the emperor will definitely kill me."

At this moment, King Ning's heart was also in a mess. Wang Lun's words were no different from his own analysis. They all felt that Zhengde was just testing him. If this was the case, then even if Zhu Yi went to the capital, there would be no danger. Maybe I can buy myself some time. As long as I persist for another year, I will have absolute strength. At that time, I will first use the army to hold the defense line of the Yangtze River, turn around and calm down the south of the Yangtze River, and then I will have naval warships , I can take the captain to drive straight in, and go straight to the outskirts of the capital.

Therefore, before doing these things, what I need most is time.

Thinking of this, King Ning looked up at Zhu Yi, and asked slowly: "Yi'er, the emperor has begun to have doubts about the father, and now it's your turn to help the father."

"This..." The expression on Zhu Yi's face was as if he was about to cry, and he nodded sadly: "If the father has something to do, he will tell the child, and the child will die."

"Well, this is the lonely Lin'er." King Ning patted Zhu Yi's shoulder with a smile, and then said with a smile: "My son doesn't have to be too nervous, after you arrive in the capital, what you have to do is also extremely simple. "

"Father, what should the child do?" Seeing that his small arms and feet couldn't squeeze his father's thigh, Zhu Yi also decided to give up resistance, and go at worst. As long as he keeps pretending to be a grandson in the capital, the emperor must Brother can't find an excuse to kill himself.

King Ning said with a smile: "After you arrive in the capital, you don't have to do anything, you just need to play a role well."

"Role?" Zhu Yi was taken aback.

"Yes." King Ning paused, then hummed slightly: "Just play the role of your playboy well."

To put it bluntly, I just let myself go to the capital to enjoy myself, I can't make friends with any ministers, I can't collect information secretly, and all I have to do every day is to spend time and money. Thinking about it this way, it seems that I am living a comfortable life as a proton.

After Ning Wang made up his mind, he first told the news to the three father-in-laws, and then began to pack Zhu Yi's luggage. In order to play his role as a dandy, he almost assembled a whole convoy, and even Zhu Yi slept at home. He also brought all the beds and pillows, because he said a word: "I am not used to living in other beds."

On the third day, everyone finally set off. Compared with the few people and horses at that time, the returning team was like a long snake. Even the three father-in-laws were assigned a carriage each, and walked Coming here is much easier than when we came here.

Just advancing slowly like this, when the team arrived at the capital slowly, there were only a dozen days left before the New Year. Entering the city gate, such a grand scene immediately aroused everyone's surprise. After arriving at King Ning's mansion, Zhu Yi was guided by the three father-in-laws to the Leopard Room. After reporting, someone took a few people into the Imperial Study Room.

Since the failure of Zhang Yong's rebellion last time, Zhengde seems to have changed. Although he still can't get rid of the habit of going to court, he is much more diligent, and he doesn't always eat, drink and have fun every day. Taking a large part of the time to correct the memorials surprised these ministers.

When he arrived at the entrance of the imperial study, Zhu Yi carefully tidied up his clothes. It wasn't that they were tidy, but that they were a little more sloppy. The moment he saw Zhengde, he immediately gave a salute: "My younger brother Zhu Yi sees Brother Huang."

"Huh?" Zhengde was taken aback when he saw Zhu Yi's outfit, and then said with a smile, "Why are you so haggard? Is it because the road is too difficult to walk?"

Zhu Yi smiled and shook his head: "Although the road is difficult, when I think of seeing Brother Huang soon, my heart is naturally very happy and excited, and I look forward to being able to listen to the teachings by Brother Huang's side as soon as possible, and this time When I come to the capital, I don’t intend to go back, to tell you the truth, even the bed I live in has already been transported from Nanchang.”

ah?Zhengde didn't expect that Zhu Yi even moved the bed here. Did he think that I didn't know anything and went to the capital to visit mountains and rivers?

Zhengde was disdainful in his heart, but there was a smile on his face. He nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I thought you were not used to the weather in the north. If so, there must be no problem. Come on."

A eunuch next to him stood up and said, "Long Live Lord, please tell me."

"Take Zhu Yi down to rest first, and bring him to me tomorrow. I have to teach him some skills myself."

"Yes."

Chapter 1429

Chapter 1429

"Zhu Yi actually entered Beijing?"

When he heard the news, He Jiaan had just arrived in Suzhou. The reason why he stayed here was to dispose of all the industries in Suzhou and Qingjiangpu. He had already made enough money, so there was no need to be rich Okay, I think the lesson of Shen Wansan, the richest man in Ming Dynasty, is right in front of my eyes, and that is my lesson from the past.

Among them, what He Jiaan is most reluctant to part with is the Jinghu Villa in Qingjiangpu.

Not only because Jinghu Villa was the first villa I built, but also because it witnessed the love between myself and Chen Yue'e. If I hadn't done artificial respiration for her in order to save her back then, I'm afraid it might not be like this now Result.

On the contrary, Tang Yi felt that it was a pity to sell this villa just like this, and looked up at He Jiaan again, and sighed softly: "Sir, this villa is very good, why not keep it."

"Why keep it?" He Jiaan replied casually while reading the news from the capital.

"You see there are so many customers here, and you can earn so much money every day, why sell it? Besides, we can go back here to take a rest when we pass by Qingjiangpu."

"Wouldn't it be enough to spend some money at that time?" After reading the news, He Jia'an secretly admired King Ning's sure enough that he even spared his own son, but he didn't know if he would be able to go well this time. Li then ran out from the capital.

Put down the official business first, and when He Jiaan looked up, he saw a group of people coming from the other side of the lake, and looked at him suspiciously in front of him: "Master He, tell the lonely king the truth, what happened here?" What's wrong? Why are you selling this fine villa?"

The person standing in front of He Jiaan was none other than Wei Guogong Xu Pengju who hurried over from Nanjing after receiving the news. I came all the way from Nanjing to repay the favor of He Jiaan for sending ships to garrison Nanjing. Since I got the Fran cannon and warships, I have never worried about the city defense of Nanjing, so this time I heard He Jiaan After sending someone to deliver the letter, I immediately led someone to rush over.

Originally, I thought that what I took over was just a mess, so I took these two villas as a favor from He Jiaan, but after arriving here, I realized that He Jiaan gave me two messes. Two cornucopias.

He Jia'an just smiled when he heard Xu Pengju's question: "It's really limited energy, and I can't take care of so much. Besides, the prices of these two villas are not very low. If the prince wants to make back his capital, he may need a lot of money." It will only work for a few years.”

This is not a problem, any industry does not immediately see cash, such as this kind of high-quality assets, of course, the more the better, the title of Wei Guogong has lasted for hundreds of years, as long as the Xu family is honest If you enjoy it, it may not be a problem to pass it on for hundreds of years, so Xu Pengju doesn't care about time the most.

Just talking and laughing, even if such a big business has been started, the next thing will be contacted by the people below. Xu Pengju deliberately pulled He Jiaan to a place where no one was around. He looked around and whispered. He said calmly: "Master He, if you count from the small side, the relationship between us is always closer than that of outsiders. I want to ask you about something."

"What's the matter, the prince just said it." He Jiaan smiled, but what flashed in his mind was Zhang Yong's matter. The Xu family must have their own eyeliner in the capital. They should know something, but they don't know too much. There are many, so I want to ask myself.

Unexpectedly, when Xu Pengju opened his mouth, he didn't ask this question, but asked: "Last time I heard that the emperor intends to let Mr. He go to the west. I wonder when Mr. He will be able to make the trip?"

Uh?

He Jia'an was taken aback for a moment, why is this different from what he thought? Zhang Yong thought of this plan because he wanted to transfer himself away in order to cooperate with King Ning's rebellion. Now Zhang Yong is dead. , Is Zhengde still thinking about it or not? Now you ask yourself when you will go to the West, and it seems that you can't give you the answer you prepared.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, He Jiaan said flatly: "Let's not talk about whether the emperor still remembers this incident, even if he can remember, the number of naval warships is extremely scarce at the moment. Think about when the Sanbao eunuch went to the West, he led dozens of giant ships. There are only ten warships in the navy right now, and there is not even a single support ship, so even if you want to sail to the West, it may not take five or six years to take shape."

"It's going to take so long." Xu Pengju's face obviously showed a look of embarrassment, but He Jia'an was a little curious when he saw it, and asked directly: "My lord asked about this, is there any plan?"

Now that we've reached this point in the conversation, Xu Pengju didn't mean to hide anything, and said with an embarrassed smile on his face: "Isn't this still thanks to Mr. He?"

"Oh, what does it matter to me?"

Pulling over He Jia'an, Xu Pengju started the story from the beginning. The cause of this matter started from the reopening of Guangzhou as a treaty port. After hundreds of years of accumulation, the current Xu family has become a rich man, with countless industries under his control. In the past, their own silk, tea, and porcelain were all smuggled abroad, but now the smuggling route has been cut off by He Jiaan, and the only way to leave Hong Kong is to pay taxes honestly.

At the beginning, Xu Pengju was worried that he would dilute his profits because he paid too much tax. Unexpectedly, since the reopening of Guangzhou, the speed of his sales has been significantly accelerated. The goods that could only be sold in a month in the past are now less than half a month. Months are sold out.

While I am making money, I feel a little uncomfortable watching the Guangzhou Shipyard making a lot of money. I will spend a lot of money just to deliver the goods to Guangzhou every month. If I can open another one near Nanjing In the case of Shibosi, wouldn't his own goods have to travel a long way?

Walking less means that your profits will be further improved, but the construction of a shipbuilding company is not something that you, Wei Guogong, can say, so the first thing you think of is He Jiaan, who has a heavy army in his hand. He established a direct route to the West, and then he brought up the matter with the emperor. Even if he paid taxes to the Shibo Department, the annual travel expenses he saved would be a large sum of money.

After listening to it from the beginning to the end, He Jia'an admired the business acumen of this Wei Guogong, and he could think of such an idea. After thinking about it for a while, he said with a smile: "Xu Guogong wants to establish a route with Xiyang, which is not a bad idea. , it would be too time-consuming to send the goods to Guangzhou from here and then go out of the customs. It is indeed a good idea to establish a Shibo Department. How about this? Why don't you and I jointly hand over the seal to the emperor and suggest a new Shibo Secretary, as for this location..."

After a pause, He Jiaan pointed to the east: "Why don't we just put it in Shanghai?"

Chapter 1430 Servant Roast Duck

On this day, He Jiaan and Xu Pengju chatted for a long time before ending. On the second day, there was a letter jointly signed by the two of them and rushed to the capital in an expedited way of [-] miles. The benefits of the port, in the end, there is only one sentence, as long as Shanghai opens the port, it will be able to earn more money for Daming.

For this alone, He Jiaan believed that Zhengde would not be indifferent, so he took this opportunity to buy several pieces of land in Shanghai with Xu Pengju. the price.
