Walk out of Qianqing Palace.
Zhou Chen immediately followed Prince Han and wanted to say something.
However, Zhu Gaoxu reached out to stop him, because Big Fatty came over with Zhu Zhanji.
"Second brother, you bastard, what on earth do you want to do?"
Big Fatty was so angry that he didn't forget to stretch out his fat hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
He was really panicked just now, especially His Majesty the Emperor's words, "Do you think I am old and confused?" It almost scared the Crown Prince to death!
Big Fatty was very angry at the moment. He couldn't figure out what the second child wanted to do!
Isn't it too impatient to raise a butcher's knife against these gentry and gentry now?
Just as the second brother said, the land is now in the hands of the Jin gentry, and a single move can affect the whole body!
If we are not confident enough and carry out land reform rashly, I am afraid that the court may not be able to bear the counterattack of those gentry and gentry!
Is it possible that the imperial court is really capable of plowing all the holes in the court and plowing all the prefectures and capitals?
If the imperial court really does this, it will only lose the hearts and minds of the people, and the gains outweigh the losses!
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Big Fatty expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "Prince, this matter has nothing to do with you!"
"Just be your own prince in peace and contentment. As for the land issue and the gentry issue, don't get involved in it!"
Big Fatty: “???”
What?
Blending in blindly?
Do you still know that I am the prince?
You behave like a prince every day!
"Second brother, don't act rashly. Farming and mulberry fields are the lifeblood of the country. If you really cause any trouble, then..."
"none of your business!"
Zhu Gaoxu retorted angrily, not being polite to the prince at all.
"When I asked you to supervise the country's governance, you were given the opportunity and the road was paved for you. However, you ruined everything yourself!"
"Don't talk to me about the righteousness of the family and the country now. You, the crown prince, should go back and rest!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu turned around and left, making Big Fatty furious.
"Arrogant!"
"arrogant!"
"This bastard, the second brother, is getting more and more aggressive!"
Big Fatty was cursing and looking at Zhu Zhanji and Xia Yuanji.
But it is a pity that the two of them turned a deaf ear to this and did not agree.
Xia Yuanji was a little worried, worried about whether Zhou Chen could withstand this tremendous pressure and successfully launch the first battle of land reform.
If he wins this battle, then Zhou Chen will be able to rise to prominence, and Xia Yuanji will be able to return to his hometown to take care of himself!
However, if Zhou Chen fails, the court's subsequent actions will be hindered.
Therefore, when Zhou Chen went to the south of the Yangtze River to inspect the official fields this time, he could only win but not lose!
Han Dynasty Palace.
Zhu Gaoxu sat down on the main seat.
"Xunru, what did you want to say just now?"
When Zhou Chen heard this, he complained impatiently: "My lord, didn't you just ask me to take over the business of the wool textile factory? Why did you suddenly ask me to go to Jiangnan to inspect the official fields?"
"The reason is simple. This is more conducive to your career!"
Zhu Gaoxu directly stated his true purpose without any nonsense.
"Making wool and selling wool just adds an income to the court, that's all!"
"The king originally asked you to rush to Peking to take charge of the shepherding plan. That's because once the plan is really completed, or starts to show results, then you, Zhou Chen, will have made a great contribution. With this contribution, you will definitely be able to rise to the top in the future!"
"But the sheep herding plan was urgently stopped by His Majesty the Emperor, so what's the point of you continuing to get involved in the wool business?"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhou Chen seriously, "You, Zhou Xunru, are a rare talent in finance and taxation. It's just that you have too little experience now, so you can't get on the stage."
"This time you went to inspect the official fields in the south of the Yangtze River. You went deep into the people in private and learned about the suffering life of the lower class people in the south of the Yangtze River. After you learned about the singing and dancing of the local gentry, I believe that you will have a deeper understanding and knowledge of the two words of finance and taxation. !”
"But one thing you have to remember is that you, Zhou Chen, will become Xia Yuanji's second best person in the future. Don't fall into the money and bribes of those gentry, and ultimately ruin your great future!"
"Keep the bottom line and go for it. Even if you kill the chief envoy, I will be here in the capital to keep you safe and sound without any worries!"
After hearing this, Zhou Chen finally understood.
No wonder the emperor asked His Highness the King of Han to go to Jiangnan in person, but His Highness the King of Han refused.
He was originally afraid that if he went to Jiangnan, the same situation as when he went to Northern Xinjiang would happen again. As soon as he left, someone would jump out and cause trouble!
If this is really the case, how can we continue to investigate this case?
Even after hearing His Highness the King of Han's assurance, Zhou Chen felt a little uneasy at the moment.
After all, the Jiangnan gentry was a well-known wealthy family. Many of their children were either preparing for the imperial examination or had already entered official careers, and some were even in the imperial court!
He is not going alone, but with Jin Yiwei!
Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor’s order is to kill them all and leave no one alive!
If I really do this, I am afraid that I will become a public enemy of the Jin gentry and my reputation will be ruined in one day!
"Your Majesty, why must I be the one who goes?"
"Because you are Zhou Chen, Zhou Xunru!"
Seeing that Zhou Chen was hesitant, Zhu Gaoxu did not force him with any words.
He was convinced that Zhou Chen would definitely make the right choice. ＵUReading www.uukanshu.netｔ
Because in the official history, Zhou Chen visited the south of the Yangtze River many times, governor of taxation and grain matters, audited tax arrears, revised tax laws, and repeatedly petitioned for reductions and exemptions from heavy taxes in the south of the Yangtze River, becoming a famous fiscal and tax official of his generation.
However, precisely because of this, Zhou Chen's reforms violated the interests of Jiangnan powerful people, and he was framed many times. He was eventually dismissed and returned home.
In this life, with Zhu Gaoxu protecting him, this financial and taxation expert will never withdraw from the stage of history so early.
After a long silence, Zhou Chen finally nodded firmly.
"Your Majesty, a scholar will die for his bosom friend. Since Your Majesty asked Zhou Chen to go to Jiangnan, then Zhou Chen will go through this fate!"
"It's just that, Your Majesty, there are mountains of wool piled up in several warehouses in my Beiping Mansion..."
Zhu Gaoxu: "???"
wool?
Your uncle’s wool!
It’s already here, and I’m still thinking about your wool!
"Don't worry, I will let Qiu Guangde handle it!"
"Don't worry about your wool. When the Jiangnan Guantian matter is completed, I will recommend you to be promoted to the Minister of Household Affairs, and you will succeed Xia Yuanji in the future..."
"Ahem, my lord, are you drawing a cake?"
Zhou Chen snorted cautiously, which made Zhu Gaoxu confused.
Hiss...Have I said this before?
Why are all these people so knowledgeable now?
"Another point is that because of Zhang Fu's conspiracy, Jin Yiwei has now become the target of public criticism."
"That's why I asked Jin Yiwei to follow you to Jiangnan. One is to protect your personal safety, and the other is to give Jin Yiwei a way to survive."
Zhu Gaoxu sighed, and when he mentioned Zhang Fu, his heart ached.
Little Fufu is dead.
But Jin Yiwei is still there.
If they don't find a way, I'm afraid that Jin Yiwei will be completely abandoned this time.
