Chapter seven hundred and ninety seventh investigation expert
"Zhu Chun, what did you learn at Jimin Academy?" Zhang Chengtian shook his head and asked the friend opposite him... Yes, he could only call him a friend.
Because their relationship is really a bit unclear... Strictly speaking, Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Ying are brothers, and Zhu Chun and Zhang Chengtian are also good brothers. The problem is that after Zhu Chun came to Beijing, he met Zhu Biao. There is no doubt that
, Zhu Biao is his uncle, and those princesses are his aunts.
In the capital, Zhu Chun is an out-and-out junior.
Zhang Chengtian obviously can't be a nephew to those guys he doesn't like... What's more, his father's two generations of imperial masters are firmly at the top of the food chain and belong to the existence of the great devil.
Zhang Chengtian is also very ambitious. He thinks he can become the second generation of the Great Demon King.
Therefore, Zhu Chun could only treat him as a lackey.
Zhu Chun, on the other hand, didn't think highly of Zhang Chengtian.
"Although I haven't learned anything, I went to school with Shu Ning and the others after all. I have learned everything in terms of academics and martial arts. You seem to be two grades below me!"
Zhang Chengtian didn't like hearing this the most, "Let me ask you, you have learned so much, does the teacher teach you where to go to watch the fun or where to make a fortune?"
Zhu Chun was asked, how could he know where to make a fortune?
"Why don't you go to the pier to carry your bags!"
Zhang Chengtian was so angry, "You are so strong, you can carry it, but I am so weak, how can I carry it?"
Weak?
Zhu Chun looked at him with suspicion, "When you ate the soy pork elbow just now, you ate more than me!"
Zhang Chengtian became even more angry, "I eat too much, so I need to use my brain! Use your brain! Let's go to Confucius Temple!"
Confucius Temple?
Zhu Chun was puzzled, why would he go to Confucius Temple at this time?
Please ask Confucius to bless you, help you pass the exam, or give you some IQ points?
But now that I have passed the Master Zhang exam, if I want to worship you, I should worship your father, right?
Zhang Chengtian is really too lazy to pay attention to this tough guy.
If I couldn't find a suitable helper, I wouldn't need you!
Your Majesty has taken action to arrest the Mei family. This time the grain merchant incident has caused such a big fuss, someone will definitely be implicated. In order to survive, these people will definitely try their best to find connections and try every means to escape guilt.
At this time, whether in order to raise money or to get rid of the crime, some things will be secretly taken out and sold.
In fact, selling treasures at this time can easily expose you and is not a smart choice.
But the problem is that someone happens to take action at this time and can't stop him.
Confucius Temple has the highest turnover of people and a lot of messy things. If you come here, you will definitely find some clues.
"Zhang Chengtian, how on earth do you know? I remember you are only ten years old this year! How do you know these things?"
Zhang Chengtian rolled his eyelids and said rudely: "Maybe this is a gift from heaven! Just like Senior Sister Xia was born knowing how to read, Zhu Di was born wicked, and you were born stupid, it's all fate!"
"Shut up! Be careful I hit you!" Zhu Chun raised his fist in anger.
Zhang Chengtian was not afraid, "If you dare to hit me, I will tell your grandpa Huang to go. I will tell him that I will quit this job. Can you see who will be beaten then?"
Zhu Chun was so angry that he had no choice but to follow him to Confucius Temple.
Needless to say, when they came in, they felt something unusual. There were too many people coming and going here. Some people could clearly see their nobility and did not look like ordinary people, but they were wearing Tsing Yi.
Little Hat is so sneaky and doesn't look like a good person at first glance.
"Zhang Chengtian, don't you think it's too easy to reveal your secret?"
Zhang Chengtian blinked his eyes and said, "You think everyone above is smart? If nothing else, if I just make up a few sentences now, won't I be able to deceive your grandpa Huang? So, just follow my example!"
Zhang Chengtian was walking in front. This guy was really good at it. He just took a cursory look and went straight to a restaurant nearby, which specializes in Huaiyang cuisine and their craftsmanship is excellent.
Zhang Chengtian heard that most people who make several times the money after picking up the missing pieces will go to a restaurant to have a meal to celebrate.
It makes sense to do this. Firstly, if you make money, you must show it off. Secondly, if you have good goods in hand, you must sell them.
When you come to this restaurant, you don't have to say anything. You just order a few dishes, sit there for an hour, and turn around, and you'll know everything.
Even if you order four dishes, six dishes, or eight dishes, whether you drink alcohol, whether it is rice wine, white wine, or wine, they are all different and have unique meanings. You can roughly infer what you got based on your consumption level.
, how much wealth he made.
Zhu Chun suddenly felt that he was almost like a fool. This Zhang Chengzhen had really become a spirit. Who had he heard this from and where did he know it?
These two little bastards, please feel free to inquire about the news.
In the palace, Runanhou Mei Jizu had been brought before Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhang Ximeng and Xu Da are also there.
Faced with this situation, Mei Jizu crawled on the ground, sweating profusely.
"Your Majesty, I'm guilty of this. I'm guilty of not being strict in educating my children, and I can't manage the family. Please punish me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang had a faint smile on his face, "Mei Jizu... now that we have arrested you, you are avoiding the important and taking the easy. What are you making excuses for? Do you think we don't know anything? Your cousin is buying up grains on a large scale, and with
If the imperial court is against them, you can't control them?"
Mei Jizu was startled, and suddenly kowtowed hard, "Sir, the cousin of the guilty minister is indeed a merchant, but he has never been in contact with him since he was awarded the title. The guilty minister is your majesty's leading general.
, he is a businessman, he has different ways, and we don’t want to conspire with him!"
Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't help but laugh out loud, "What's going on with the five hundred pieces of fine silk? There's no exchange, but five hundred pieces are given away at once?"
Mei Jizu was shocked and dumbfounded. How did His Majesty know about this?
Who told him?
At this time Xu Da finally snorted coldly, "Now that things have happened, what else do you have to deny! From Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng, to Gu Shi, Liao Yongzhong, we have killed many criminals in the Ming Dynasty. The Marquis of Runan is not you
You can’t afford to get away with it. You can’t even think of deceiving your superiors!”
Mei Jizu was shocked. Could it be that Xu Da was the informant?
He looked around and finally landed on Zhang Ximeng.
"Grand Master, help me! Please speak up for me! Xianguan, you helped change the name of me. I really have no intention of going against the imperial court!"
Zhang Ximeng sighed, "Now that things have happened, even a three-year-old child knows what is going on. You also know that I have always regarded the land system and food as the foundation of the country. You want to hold the lifeline of the imperial court in your own hands,
Don’t blame the country’s ruthless laws!”
When it came to this matter, Mei Jizu was helpless and despaired.
Suddenly he gritted his teeth and said, "I hate it so much! Zhu Yuanzhang, I am blind, why should I help you? You are the Nine-Five Supreme Being, sitting on the world, you can do whatever you want. Your children are all vassal kings, you
Sitting in the world, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are all yours, you can enjoy it however you want, I just took a small bite, and you shouted to kill, Zhu Yuanzhang, don't you think you are too ruthless?"
The Marquis of Runan gnashed his teeth and cursed Lao Zhu, his grief and anger beyond words.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw this and just sneered slightly.
"It seems that you are no different from those people. You still pride yourself on being a hero and feel that you should have your share in this world! I tell you, don't even think about it! As long as we are still on this throne, we will not agree!" Old Zhu Xufa
Everyone was nervous and angry, "Didn't you say that after we became emperor, we would dominate the world and everything would be ours? I can tell you clearly that we are in charge of the world for the people and do justice to the king's laws for the people of Li!"
"If you think that dealing with criminals means doing whatever you want, then we will continue to do it, and you are not the only one!"
Mei Jizu was dumbfounded, his face turned earth-colored.
Lao Zhu waved his hand and said, "Take him down!"
Immediately, a big Han general rushed up and dragged him down.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang finally calmed down and his complexion gradually recovered.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, "We were wrong after all. We thought at the beginning that we relied on our fellow villagers and our children and in-laws to form one body. If we could sincerely do things for us, our own people would feel more at ease. Now it seems that we must pay attention to rules in governing the country.
, especially you cannot let your in-laws do whatever they want."
Zhang Ximeng nodded and said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true!"
Xu Daye also said: "Your Majesty, last time we reorganized the navy and established schools, are we now also reorganizing the infantry and cavalry?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "This is good, but will it affect the military strength? Will it make it impossible to fight the war and affect the use of troops?"
Xu Dadao: "Your Majesty, I think it's just the opposite. Take the soldiers in Yunnan as an example. They have all replaced firearms. Zhu Ying drilled his troops and won every victory. Burma and Annan are no match for us. In addition, Feng Guosheng from the Western Regions,
Seventy percent of the troops and horses in his hands were also equipped with firearms, and they were invincible in the battles in the Western Regions! I thought that the time had come to comprehensively reorganize the land and water armies. The older batch of princes and princes who could not lead troops simply withdrew from the army!
"
The rectification of military affairs undoubtedly touched the core of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Ximeng again.
Zhang Ximeng also said: "Your Majesty, some time ago, the whole army purchased new military uniforms, and the results were very good. I think that next, weapons, military rations, etc. can be purchased on a large scale, and the recruitment and training of soldiers will also be under the control of the imperial court. From then on,
All the troops and horses return to Your Majesty and the imperial court. The foundation of the Ming Dynasty will be more solid!"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it again and again, and finally nodded, "It doesn't matter what they say! It doesn't matter whether it's mean and ungrateful, or it doesn't matter if it turns against you and is ruthless! We will move forward indomitably for the sake of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhang Ximeng and Xu Da stood up quickly, "I will follow your majesty to the death and never turn back!"
The three of them, the monarch and his ministers, have finally reached a consensus, and it is almost certain that the most critical reform of the Ming Dynasty is about to begin.
Zhang Ximeng and Xu Da also came out of the palace, each working on specific solutions.
Just after they left, Zhang Chengtian entered the palace in a ghostly manner and met Zhu Yuanzhang.
Then he handed a list to Lao Zhu.
"This is what I found out today. Nanxiong Marquis Zhao Yong sold a house, and Yingyang Marquis Yang Jing sold a batch of treasures, including Su Dongpo's relics."
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, "Chengtian, how did you find out?"
Zhang Chengtian chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I don't need to worry about it. It's not just them, but also Tu Jie, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Chen Ning, the Minister of the Ministry of War... What else does your Majesty want to know?"
