The imperial edict of dismissal from office soon spread, and almost all officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were dismissed, leaving less than one-third. The people talked about it and praised Li Hanshan one after another.

At the same time, a topic is also popular among the people.

Poor family.

Most of the civil and military personnel in the Manchu Dynasty came from famous families, or were the leaders when they followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world.

Only a few came from poor families, so the people started to argue.

"What are these famous families doing? There are so many corrupt officials, and only ordinary people like us are suffering!"

"Yes, I don't know how much food was withheld during the Hangzhou flood. It would be great if ordinary people could become officials."

"It's a pity that I am illiterate and not qualified to enter the Imperial College. Otherwise, I would like to do my best for you elders."

…

In the tea house, Zhu Shangbing was sitting in the elegant room on the third floor. He was wearing light-colored clothes and his long hair was spread loose. His eyes were casually scanning the bottom, and he felt inexplicably like a romantic young man.

In the private room, there were also brothers from the Li family, as well as Yue Nanshan and Li Hanshan, both civil and military heroes.

After hearing the discussion below, several people looked helpless. They had expected that something like this would happen, but they didn't expect that there would be such a big commotion among the people.

Zhang Liang's voice suddenly appeared in his mind, and he asserted after hearing Zhu Shangbing's explanation in his mind.

"There are people behind it who are adding fuel to the flames."

Although this news was related to the common people, it spread a bit too fast. It was obvious that someone was deliberately creating momentum behind the scenes.

in order……

Of course it’s Li Hanshan.

Li Hanshan was one of the few who came from a poor family. These rumors seemed to be beneficial to him, but in fact they were causing trouble and were tantamount to pushing him to face the officials who were born into famous families in the court.

What a vicious plan.

For ordinary people, they may not be able to think of this level.

Zhu Shangbing couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then turned to look at the frowning person.

"Master Li, do you have any ideas?"

There was a little curiosity in his eyes, wanting to hear this person's opinion.

But rushing the duck to the shelves in this way is a bit too hasty.

Li Hanshan, who was asked an unexpected question, hesitated and was still thinking.

"Your Majesty..."

Zhu Shangbing couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this, and then shook his head.

I know I didn't think of it so quickly.

He pushed a plate of tea in front of several people and started talking.

"Since the other party is adding fuel to the flames, why not go with the flow?" There was some expectation in his eyes, and he looked at the few people present: "With so many officials removed, who will fill the vacant positions? Isn't it our business? Since they want to

If that’s the case, then all those positions should be filled with talented young people from poor families.”

A good one to go with the flow.

Use the rumors in the city to capture the hearts of the people and achieve your goals.

And looking at Zhu Shangbing, it was obvious that he had this idea for a long time. Your two brothers saw through it without saying anything. Yue Nanshan's expression changed slightly and he lowered his head in thought.

Hearing this, Li Hanshan had an epiphany, and the distress on his face was replaced by a smile.

"Thank you for your advice, Your Highness!"

Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading. He was still thinking about how to solve the problem, but he didn't know that the person on the other side had already figured out a way to use retreat to advance.

Ruolun Zhimou, he is far inferior to His Highness the Crown Prince.

If he heard Li Hanshan's voice, Zhu Shangbing would definitely have a dialogue with Zhang Liang in his heart. Although the strategy of retreating into advancement was what he thought of, Zhang Liang's advice was indispensable.

The person in my mind is the Patriarch.

In this case...

Li Hanshan immediately stood up and said goodbye to several people, leaving them where they were, and went to the palace alone to see Zhu Yuanzhang for orders.

Seeing his arrogant appearance, Zhu Shangbing couldn't help but hide his face and ponder in his heart, how did he fall in love with this person in the first place.

Seeing that the person hadn't gone far yet, he quickly added.

"Don't forget to go to the East Palace and bring King Wu with you, and tell him in advance."

After watching him go away, Zhu Shangbing picked up the wine jar from behind.

Thinking of his current position, Yue Nanshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If he remembered correctly, this place seemed to be called a teahouse.

But when a sea bowl is placed in front of you.

"His Royal Highness! Do it!"

The unruly young hero who wandered the world seemed to be back again when he picked up the wine bowl. Naturally, the wine in the tea house tasted lighter than in ordinary restaurants.

But just such a mouthful made Zhu Shangbing discover a business opportunity.

He put down the bland water-like thing and said to the three people in front of him.

"When I was still in the fiefdom of King Qin, a good friend once gave me a recipe for brewing wine. It is said that it can beat all the fine wines in the world. I will bring it to you to taste when it is brewed next time. Maybe this will be a new beginning."

Thinking of liquor, he couldn't help but smile.

As long as this thing is released, it will surely attract many people to buy it, and with many novel gadgets, wouldn't it be possible to become the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, and even the so-called prince and prince can be free and easy.

Zhu Shangbing couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

Yue Nanshan, who boasted of drinking all the best wine in the world, scoffed and threatened.

"Your Highness, why are you so arrogant? It has long been a reality that such fine wine exists. Could it be that good friend of yours?"

Hearing this, Zhu Shangbing's expression froze.

Why did the person in front of me also make up for the friends who were born out of nothing! In that case...

He pretended to be heartbroken, put his hand on his chest to show his grief, and said mournfully.

"To be honest, my good friend has a serious illness and has gone to the underworld."

Zhu Shangbing didn't know whether this appearance could deceive others, but it definitely deceived Yue Nanshan. The people in front of him were panicked and wanted to comfort him, but they didn't know where to start.

He stood there awkwardly and at a loss.

The Li brothers, who had already seen everything, sighed helplessly and followed Zhu Shangbing's play.

"His Royal Highness, there is no need to be too sad. In that case, the three of us will find an opportunity to visit you and taste the so-called fine wine you said."

Brothers!

In a place where Yue Nanshan couldn't see him, the corners of Zhu Shangbing's lips were slightly raised, and his eyes were full of pride.

Although the process was somewhat tortuous, the goal was achieved.

And now...

He looked towards the palace, wondering if Zhu Yunxi and Li Hanshan had succeeded.

Those words he said to Zhu Yuanzhang early on simply pushed him into a pit of fire.

Presumably many vassal kings will notice him now and take action secretly, not to mention the Yan King Zhu Di and his grandson Zhu Yunwen, who have already formed a rift.

If we can control the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and Zhu Yunxi becomes a vassal there.

He can cultivate his power in case of emergencies.

…

At noon, the imperial edict came again, appointing a large number of children from poor families to fill the vacant official positions in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They were all selected by Li Hanshan himself and had observed their character.

In other words, they are all our own people.

As soon as the news came out, the rumors among the people were self-defeating. They shouted loudly outside the palace gate that the emperor was wise.

The man sitting in Fengtian Hall couldn't help but smile when he heard the news.

but……
