Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty Nine: The Monarch and the Minister

When Hao Fenglou explained things, he looked like a nagging resentful woman, and it happened to be menopause, from big to small, everything was fine.

Especially the matter of Tongshan Ji, he seemed quite concerned and explained it in the most detailed manner.

In fact, Hao Fenglou is also preparing for this. Now more and more merchants are coming to fame, and the output of furniture and iron tools will become larger and larger in the future. When Annan is pacified, Lang Son may even become a land channel between the Ming Dynasty and Annan, Chameng, Zhen La and other countries.

Since the most important thing is the key business path, the origin of iron, cloth and furniture, it is conceivable how many merchants will linger here in the future.

Hundreds and thousands of these are the most conservative estimates of Hao Fenglou. Such a place where birds do not shit suddenly accommodates so many merchants. Since the merchants have come, they must bring guards to carts, grooms, carts, mules, horses, men, and account rooms. Therefore, behind these hundreds and thousands of merchants is tens of thousands of manpower.

In this case, we must prepare for the rainy day and immediately start the most urgent problem at the moment. So many people need food, accommodation and entertainment. These are actually business. Their goods cannot be taken away immediately. They must be temporarily stored for some time. Then warehouses, inns, wineries, even brothels, and gambling houses have become necessary facilities for Tongshan Food. Now they are built and rented and sold in the future. This will not only make money, but also alleviate the needs of future merchants.

Hao Fenglou was just talking, but someone might as well say, "It's interesting, but my adopted son is full of business practices, but it's a big problem. If it spreads out, wouldn't it be a slander for me?"

While speaking, Zhu Di was walking in with his hands behind his back.

The hall suddenly became quiet, and the foreman showed surprise on his face, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.

Finally someone reacted, his legs became weak, and he fell to the ground: "Caomin has seen His Majesty the Emperor..."

"Long live my emperor..."

Zhu Di seemed a little disgusted with these reactions. He waved his hand and said, "Get up, go down. Wherever I go, I have these false rituals. Long live? It is enough for me to be eighty years old. As for the long live person, I have never seen him."

The foreman hurriedly retreated as if he had received an amnesty.

However, Hao Fenglou and Zhu Gaosui were even more shocked. Although they knew that Your Majesty was in charge, they still didn't expect Your Majesty to come so quickly. What's more, the emperor suddenly jumped in front of them, which really made them feel a little unbearable.

Therefore, the two of them were the last ones who reacted. Hao Fenglou and Zhu Gaosui quickly stood up and saluted Zhu Di and said, "I have seen my father. My father has arrived, but I have missed the opportunity to welcome him. I will die."

Zhu Di glared at them, obviously he was in a very good mood today, and he didn't care. He just smiled and said, "If you don't talk about these, sit down."

Zhu Di refused to let go. He sat in the chair that Hao Fenglou had just sat on. Hao Fenglou had to stay in the last seat and said with a smile: "I had heard the news that it was my father's personal expedition. My son and the prince of Zhao were both greatly encouraged, but I never thought that my father came so early."

Zhu Di said seriously: "It's better to come early than to come by. I just heard you explain things. Although I seem petty and do everything myself. But it looks a bit like a prosperous country and a prosperous world. Why, Hao Fenglou, you started a business? You sell agricultural tools, tools and furniture, and you want to weave, ha... My right-hand man just used one to kill the adopted son of the rebels. Have you turned into a merchant again?"

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "Actually, my son is trying to quell the rebellion."

Zhu Di couldn't help but be shocked. He couldn't help laughing and said, "You guy is talking nonsense again. Is this business a fight to suppress the rebellion?"

Hao Fenglou said seriously: "That is, the so-called warehouse is full and you know the etiquette. Lang San has always been remote. On the surface, there are not many people in the household registration, but there are many natives. The population in the mountains is less than 100,000. This civil rebellion is not just a provocation by the rebels, but the root problem is that these people have difficulty in making a living."

"So, if you want to make peace in Langsang, you will no longer be deceived by the traitors and secretly. The only way is to solve their people's livelihood. It's just that so many people rely on the court to allocate money and food alone, so the ministers thought of this way to rely on the self-reliance."

Hao Fenglou's words were reserved. He used the banner of resettling mountain people, but his real purpose was to make the Hao family's business. Of course, this was a win-win situation. Neither the Hao family nor the mountain people suffered a loss. However, Hao Fenglou only said half of it and left half of it. He only talked about the benefits that the mountain people would get, but he would not mention the benefits that the Hao family would benefit from it. After all, this is a place where the emperor is far away from the mountains. The Hao family makes a fortune here, and no one will pay attention to it in the future.

Zhu Di was obviously interested. Because he was in a particularly good mood today, he was very patient and looked at Hao Fenglou even more impressedly, so he wanted to hear what Hao Fenglou's prescription for "quelling the rebellion".

Hao Fenglou continued: "After understanding the people's conditions in Langshan, I realized that leading troops to suppress rebellion is just a symptom, and allowing the mountain people to have food, clothing and clothes is a fundamental solution. As long as they work hard for a year, they can have hot food and clothes, who will think of going to oppose the court, and who will attack the government? After thinking about it, I thought of a way, such as this furniture. The mountain people asked the mountain people to cut wood in the mountains, and the mountain people exchanged it with money or some things needed by the mountain people. They cut the wood and obtained the cloth.

, iron tools and even grain, and the sons got wood. Of course, these woods could not be rotten in the hands of the sons. After all, the sons' cloth and iron tools were not blown by the strong wind, so the sons processed the woods, recruited craftsmen, and made them into furniture. After the furniture was made, they ordered people to sell them for money. Therefore, the mountain people had food to cut wood, and the sons did not suffer any loss when they exchanged things with them. The merchants sold them everywhere with furniture, and everyone was happy."

"It's just that there are so many mountain people, but they can't just cut wood. For this reason, Erchen plans to let them plant cotton in the future. After they plant cotton, Erchen buys it and then process it into cloth. As for the rich minerals in the deep mountains, Erchen can also ask them to find mines, which Erchen uses to forge agricultural tools. In short, what Erchen does is to let the mountain people do something, and people will not think too much when they have things. When they log, grow cotton, and mine can fill their stomachs and buy new clothes for women, then whoever will instigate them will instigate them.

They would never rebel against rebellion. Therefore, although this move by my son is on the surface, it is actually a national economy and people's livelihood. Langshan is the gateway for the court to enter Annan. This Langshan Pass is an important food route. If the court wants to control Annan, Langshan's stability is particularly important. Besides, the father and son are generous and generous. How dare the son and son be indifferent to the chaos here? Therefore, to stabilize Langshan, the son and the son have no choice but to be responsible for the stability of Langshan. If the father and the son just mistakenly think that the son and the son and the son are doing business, the son and the son feel a little wronged."

When Zhu Di saw Hao Fenglou's aggrieved look, he couldn't help but smile.

Hao Fenglou said it very thoroughly, and it makes sense. Whoever can fill his stomach with something, and who will rebel after eating it? Especially when Hao Fenglou just clicked on the important part of Lang San, which made Zhu Di realize that Lang San's stability is indeed important. He nodded and said, "Yes, I misunderstood you, and you said it very reasonably. Since that's the case, let go of your hands and feet. This is the place of your Hao family. I will not interfere. Everything is up to you."

Zhu Di paused and smiled, "I have been sitting for so long, why didn't the tea come up?"

Zhu Di gradually fell in love with tea, but at this time, Hao Fenglou couldn't help but smile awkwardly and quickly ordered someone to pour tea.

As for Zhu Gaosui, he took advantage of this time to say something to Zhu Di. After a long separation, the father and son were bound to tell him the recent situation vividly. Zhu Gaosui smiled and said, "Father, it's okay for the son to be here. With Hao Fenglou here, life can be settled..."

Zhu Dihe nodded and said, "You should really follow your emperor brother to study hard. Although he is younger than you, he is more calm than you. He has both talent for conquering the country and worldly powers, and following him will be of great benefit to you. This trip, I was not disappointed. I regretted it very much, and I regretted calling Hao Fenglou to Annan and letting you follow you. But now I feel that this time has not done anything wrong. This trip not only sharpened Hao Fenglou, but also increased your knowledge. Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to Mo are black. You two, one is loyal and the other is innocent, did not disappoint me. When Taizu was in the past, I ordered me to go to Peking. At that time, Beiping was like Langshan. Although it was not a wilderness, it was also remote. Outside the pass, it was either a wilderness that could not be seen at the end or a robber who could not be killed.

Inside the pass, there were a group of unruly Qiu Ba and a group of disrespectful evildoers. At that time, I was also dissatisfied with me. I was a noble man of heaven, how could I come to such a place? I was born to enjoy wealth and honor. Taizu sent me there, which was really similar to a sect. But later, I realized that if I didn’t go to Peking, I would be a mediocre prince for the rest of my life. What can I do except eat and die every day? People are all made of hard work, just like unruly jade. No matter how good this unruly jade is, it is worthless without being rubbed every day. I don’t want to see you and Hao Fenglou do nothing. One of you is my legitimate son and the other is my adopted son. I hope you can do something. Even if you can’t create any great achievements, it can at least benefit the country and the people, guard the country and open peace for this town."
