First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 46: The unremarkable Zhang Ximeng

   Li Shanchang studied a lot, because Yuan Ting's imperial examinations were intermittent, and Li Shanchang had no suitable way to go, so he could not walk this way. Precisely because of this, Li Shanchang didn't spend too much time on the Four Books and Five Classics, instead he learned a lot of Legalism, which is a blessing in disguise.

   After he became an adult, he worked as a bookkeeper for a period of time. It was not until the rise of the Red Turban Army and the chaos that Li Shanchang returned home to avoid disaster.

   After hearing about Zhu Yuanzhang's fame, he decided to take refuge.

   Therefore, taking his experience together, Li Shanchang is very capable of doing things and is an unparalleled worker.

   It is this self-confidence that makes Li Shanchang believe that as soon as he comes out of the mountain, he will be reused. Who else is better than him? Can't!

  No, the first thing Li Shanchang did was to help Zhu Yuanzhang sort out the situation of Lvpai Village.

Lao Li took out twelve skills. From morning to night, he was busy for two whole days to thoroughly check the situation of Lvpai Village. A total of 3,000 elites were selected, and there were more than 1,000 old and weak who could not enter the army. In the middle, Li Shanchang meant to give them some travel expenses and let them go home.

   took this thoughtful plan and sent it to Lao Zhu. Li Shanchang just waited for the praise to let you Zhu Yuanzhang know who is the real Xiao He!

   It was beyond Li Shanchang's expectation. Zhu Yuanzhang took it and looked at it carefully for a long time. Not only did he not praise him, but on the contrary, his brows wrinkled.

   "Superior, not what you want?" Li Shanchang asked tentatively.

  Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it again, and then said: "Mr. Li, the army has not moved the food and grass first, and there are more than 10,000 people under us. These people, these open mouths, how to feed them, do you have an idea?"

   Li Shanchang secretly delighted in his heart, he is indeed a hero!

   Li Shanchang, who worked in the yamen, is very aware of the importance of money and food. Zhu Yuanzhang's awareness of this proves that his vision is extraordinary.

   Coincidentally, I already had a rough plan in my mind, and I just said it.

"The upper ranks, farming and mulberry, money and food. If you can conquer Dingyuan, and then take Chuzhou, the humble position recommends recruiting refugees, granting land, encouraging farming and weaving, lighter and thinner, building water conservancy, hoarding more food, and not much. In the next year, there will be strong soldiers and horses." Li Shanchang also smiled: "Haozhou is not far from Peixian, the mountains and rivers are king, the sun and the moon are fighting, and now they have reached the upper position, it is the time to achieve hegemony!"

   Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was indifferent, without too much excitement. After all, no matter how nice it is, it will be difficult to get excited after listening to it the second time.

   On the contrary, he is more concerned about those specific measures.

   "Mr. Li, you said recruiting refugees and giving them land, where does this land come from?"

   Li Shanchang was a little bit stunned and thought he would continue to talk about Emperor Han Gaozu! The generous words full of stomach were intercepted, but fortunately he was also prepared.

   "The high-ranking officials think that there are constant disasters, frequent droughts and floods, and wars and chaos, and the people of Lebanon flee...There are really a lot of open spaces, and the upper-ranking only needs to collect the open land, thinking that it is official land, and rent it to the people."

  Zhu Yuanzhang was still calm, and said casually: "Is it right that the land of those big gentry households doesn't need to be moved? Their land is counted as private land? Are the land rents of official land and private land different? Is the official land higher?"

   Li Shanchang was completely stunned. He did think so. The refugees do not have land and they are precarious. It is only natural to give them a piece of land even if the land rent is higher.

   As for those big households, they can stay still, after all, if you want to take the world, you must win over the hearts of the people, especially the hearts of big households. This has been the case throughout the ages!

   If the surname Zhu can’t even accept this, then he is not considered a hero, he is a confused person...Is old Li wrong?

   While Li Shanchang was hesitant, Zhu Yuanzhang took out a brochure and handed it to Li Shanchang.

   "Mr. Li, look at this."

   Li Shanchang took it, and after unfolding, first look at the other's handwriting is not very good, you can even say immature, the words are straightforward, not like a college question.

   The first impression was not good. When he looked down, his brows frowned and his face gradually paled.

what is this?

Doing hands on large households, copying the floating wealth, enriching the military, regardless of men and women, granting fields equally... What other ration fields, even the land... Li Shanchang stared at his eyes and looked at it for a long time. He knew every word and every sentence. He could see it clearly, but he was confused when put together.

What does it mean?

   I still have hundreds of acres of land. If I understand correctly, I want to hand over the land?

   Our old Li has taken refuge in someone who wants our land and property?

   Isn't this shooting yourself in the foot?

   Li Shanchang's pale face gradually turned red, red!

   "Master, who wrote this?"

  Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "One of our gentlemen, although he is young, he has only learned people. We rely very heavily on him."

Li Shanchang took a deep breath and pondered it over and over again. Then he said: "The distinction between official land and private land in the upper ranks is not a whim from a humble position. Back then, the Yuan court conquered the Southern Song Dynasty and swept the world, it was to take all the official land of the Southern Song Dynasty court as its own. , And also searched many acres, all used as official land, leased to the people, and collected land grants... Although this method is not very appropriate, it does not have to be a big fight, and it is very convenient. The superiors have the intention of loving the people and only need to reduce the land grants and promote water conservancy. That's it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang listened patiently, but he did smile, "Mr. Li, Tian Fu is not just to feed soldiers and horses and officials... it is more fair! Mr. Li, if you say, those who rely on the protection of Yuan Ting, follow Yuan Da The big households who colluded with each other not only didn’t have to hurt their muscles and bones, but they paid less for their land. On the contrary, those suffering refugees had to pay more land fortunes and send more soldiers and horses to help us fight. Then let’s ask Mr. Who are you conquering the world for?"

   Li Shanchang was speechless again, sweating coldly.

   He met the male lord, but he didn't expect that this bear was a bit outrageous, completely out of control... Every scholar has the desire to be an emperor.

  Like Li Shanchang, he came to take refuge in Lao Zhu and talked about pacifying the world as soon as he came up. Is he really optimistic about Lao Zhu? With so many heroes in the world, why make you Zhu Yuanzhang the emperor?

   In fact, Li Shanchang is not sure, he is just betting.

   There are also a lot of people who are betting. If Chen Youliang or Zhang Shicheng won the world, there will be such a role in the annals of history, but the other party may be called Wang Shanchang, Zhang Shanchang... That's about it.

   It's just that Li Shanchang is willing to gamble because he feels that there is no one around Zhu Yuanzhang. He can instill his ideas into Zhu Yuanzhang unscrupulously, and with Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, dominate the world and realize his dream.

   But things are not right now, he is late, and another set of things has been poured into Lao Zhu's head, not to say right or wrong, anyway, it is different from him.

   Then can I still be an emperor?

   The slim hope became zero in an instant!

   At this moment, Li Shanchang is really a bit unable to hold it, and his heart is completely empty. Why don't you change another person? Go to other people again?

   Li Shanchang thought carefully, who else is right?

   Liu Futong?

  Reckless man!

   Xu Shouhui?

   Peng Dang is all around him, even if he goes there, what can he do?

   Maybe Zhang Shicheng from Gaoyou is good, but he and he are not fellow villagers. Without this relationship, it would be difficult to reuse... For a while, Li Shanchang was confused and completely lost his squareness.

   Zhu Yuanzhang is still so calm. Of course he urgently needs a group of literati, but if his ideas are different from his own, it is not a good thing.

   "Mr. Li is tired? Need a rest?"

   Li Shanchang was startled, nodded and said: "Thank you for your sympathy, the humble job is indeed a bit tired."

   With the pamphlet in his hand, he got up to say goodbye and went to the tent.

   Li Shanchang lay on the bed, although tired, but not sleepy at all, his head was in a mess!

   The pamphlet is not complicated. He has been in the Yamen for many years and it is naturally clear that the distribution method above is more reasonable.

   It’s just that everything related to Yuan Ting, who is doing evil, and amassing a lot of acres, these big wealthy families will have to be cleaned up, which is equivalent to complete and replacement... What a masterpiece, what a bold force!

Although Zhu Yuanzhang does not have many soldiers and horses~www.novelmt.com~ there is not even a decent site, but there is indeed an emperor pattern...but this set of things makes him look quite uncomfortable, even a little bit Panic.

   Li Shanchang got up and wanted to leave.

  Different ways, not conspiring!

   just walked to the door, he stopped again. With this trip, he will become an enemy of Zhu Yuanzhang, especially the person who advised Zhu Yuanzhang. He hasn't seen it yet, and doesn't know the opponent's superiority. Just judging from this booklet, it is definitely not a mortal.

   Can he fight?

   Li Shanchang is not sure.

   He repeatedly, tossed all night, but didn't fall asleep at all.

   Until noon the next day, he barely got up.

  As soon as I got out of the tent, I heard someone shouting, "Mr. Zhang is here! Mr. Zhang is escorting money and food!"

   Li Shanchang moved in his heart and followed the crowd to the camp gate.

   The first thing I saw was a young man who was only thirteen or fourteen years old at most. He was white, thin and tall... mediocre, nothing extraordinary.

  Zhang Liang, whom Zhu Yuanzhang trusted, is such a young man?

How can    be so young?

   is the booklet he wrote?

   is just a nonsense!

   Li Shan was unconvinced... But at this moment, Zhang Ximeng turned around and invited a man, an old man, from the carriage. They walked into the village and came to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

   Lee Sun frowned and frowned, and suddenly felt like he had seen it? It seems that when the Yellow River was repaired, he was responsible for transporting a group of civil servants... Isn't this the superior Jia Shangshu?

   Li Shanchang is completely stunned, my goodness!

   See a ghost!
