If Duke Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu was able to become a overlord, he was naturally a very strategic person. He would never allow the aristocratic family to suppress Zhu Zhen without restraint.

Although he has come to this day because of the support of the aristocratic family, he has understood the terrifying power of the aristocratic family even more. If this double-edged sword is not used well, it will definitely hurt himself.

Faced with the surging pressure from the aristocratic family, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that confrontation head-on will not benefit anyone, so procrastination is the best choice.

When dealing with such things, you have to choose to deal with them indifferently. After all, even if Zhu Zhen’s actions touch their fundamental interests, as long as they do not harm their direct interests, they will forget them over time with their short-sightedness.

Then it will be great to win over and suppress a few more families, so that these aristocratic families cannot be in the same mood, and things will be calmed over time.

This little guy is lawless when doing things. Sometimes it is really a headache, but his ability to do things is reassuring.

What a giant thing the Zhang family is. None of the military and political officials in Huai'an Province were not manipulated by them and it was a dream for many people to destroy the Zhang family. However, only Zhu Zhen's method was used to decisively and vigorously, which was so thunderous.

It gave Jiangnan a strong shock. After achieving the goal, it realized that the situation was not good, and immediately led the crowd to go out to sea to avoid the edge.

Zhu Yuanzhang admired this matter very much.

This little guy's political wisdom has improved.

Calculate the day, the documents that Yingtian recalled Zhu Zhen at this time should have just arrived in Qu County. Since Zhu Zhen went out to sea, he naturally had no way to return to Yingtian, so he had an excuse to continue to delay the matter.

At least it is impossible to rashly deprive others of their fief before finding out about Zhu Zhenji.

Besides, the little emperor has a good relationship with Zhu Zhen. If such a small matter is not his own, the little emperor will not do anything to Zhu Zhen.

As long as Qu County is still Zhu Zhen’s fief, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very comfortable.

Zhu Zhen’s integration of Huai’an’s forces depends on fighting first and then, on military deterrence and economic temptation, while on economic temptation, the Maritime Bureau and the Salt Field.

As for the position of Pingzhang in Huai'an Province, Zhu Zhen is actually a false name.

According to Zhu Zhen's style of conduct, if the Huai'an Province is not his one-man show, Zhu Yuanzhang could even write his name upside down.

However, the new firearms made by the so-called Huai'an Manufacturing Administration did feel that Zhu Yuanzhang could not sleep or eat.

A few days ago, Zhu Zhen did send people to Huai'an a batch of new artillery and explosive packs. Zhu Yuanzhang tried it in the deep mountains and forests. The earth-shaking formation was obviously much stronger than the current firearms.

If the person who is planning to be a ill-gotten person or a thief has obtained such a magical weapon, aim at himself on the battlefield, and give him one or two cannons, how can he be in his life?

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was a bold leader after all, and his mind was many times better than that of the junior with a pockmark on his face.

Just like when Zhu Yuanzhang sent Zhu Zhen to guard Xuyi and other places, he found that Zhu Zhen was too capable and developed Xuyi in an orderly manner. Zhu Yuanzhang's first reaction was not to suppress him, but to hand over the more important province in Huai'an to him, and to ask for people and money, which allowed Zhu Zhen's ability to be maximized.

He has unique insights on hiring people, and unleashing talents will be more likely to exchange for his loyalty than suppressing his talents.

Zhu Yuanzhang would not do anything to force talents to vote for others.

Whether it is talents or weapons, as long as it is beneficial to you, you must spend money to further develop and become more and more powerful, so that you can better use it for yourself.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the brush and wrote a word "Ka" on a memorial by Li Shanchang.

Then let the servants send to the Political Affairs Hall.

Above the memorial, he suddenly asked to promote Yu Tonghai to Pingzhang of Huai'an Province.

On the third day after the fleet was docking, Sheng Yong hurried back.

When I arrived at Zhu Zhen's boat report, I saw a glass of sake on Zhu Zhen's table, and I was not polite. I grabbed it and drank it all in one breath, and gave Zhu Zhen a military salute.

"Sheng Yong reported to you!"

Zhu Zhen looked at Sheng Yong's clothes that were messy because of the hurry to travel. When he saw the high spring breeze on his face rushing, he couldn't help but joke: "Wife and children are warm on the kang, why don't Sheng Qianhu stay for two more days? Anyway, the day when the army is running is far away, so you'll be back when the time comes."

Chang Mao, who was on the list of the list, claimed to be a romantic and handsome man, but he is still a virgin. Naturally, he couldn't help but say sourly: "I met you again after a long time. If you don't water the red apricots, be careful to let others pick them."

The generals of the army rarely pay attention to etiquette and often have dirty jokes.

Sheng Yong was not angry, and his handsome face opened his mouth and laughed, "That's the most chaste family. He is the most famous lady in his hometown. He is devoted to our Sheng Yong. How could he do such a thing?

Brother Chang Mao, don’t be too envious. Your future wife will definitely not be bad. It’s just that the marriage is important, so you must respect your parents’ orders. I think that Ling Zun must work hard for you and then be a famous family, so I didn’t make such an early arrangement for you.

Of course, I heard that those ladies are also more unrestrained. If they are water-like poplar flowers at that time, you may have to endure it.”

?This joke almost made Chang Mao irritated.

But what Sheng Yong said is the truth. He looks like this and has been in the army for many years. Who knows what his wife will do then?

You must know your identity, and you will definitely find a wealthy family with a good match. Those spoiled ladies are not a good role to play with.

The Huai'an Navy knew Sheng Yong's situation, and I wonder how envious he was of such a virtuous wife.

Although Chang Mao is very dirty, he admires the brother and sister-in-law whom he has not met yet.

After making fun of Chang Mao, Sheng Yong said to Zhu Zhen: "I just met the magistrate of the Chandong County on the sea and said he was coming to pay homage to Master."

Zhu Zhen said curiously: "I have never had any relationship with him. What did he do when he comes to see me?"

Sheng Yong said: "The last general doesn't know, but the person is about to arrive soon, and the last general's ship is faster, so it arrives first."

As he was speaking, a personal guard outside shouted loudly: "Zhendong County Magistrate" came to visit.

Zhu Zhen ordered Sheng Yong to go out to welcome him and sit still.

It’s not that Zhu Zhen is showing off his character, but that Zhu Zhen has too many titles and positions. If the gap is not big, he can go out to greet him. When it is reported, outsiders will naturally say that he is easy-going, but his status is too big, so he cannot be too casual.

After a moment, someone stepped onto the deck of the boat and entered the cabin.

A man with an energetic spirit of about thirty years old, wearing a light green official robe, started to worship Zhu Zhen when he saw him, "Liu Yichuang, the magistrate of Chandong County, paid homage to his uncle."

Zhu Zhen performed a literati ceremony and bowed his hand and responded: "No gifts are not allowed, please sit and watch the tea."

Liu Yichuang must have never seen an official of Zhu Zhen's level before. He was obviously a little embarrassed. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down and stopped drinking it. He sat there and wanted to speak but stopped.

Zhu Zhen felt a little funny. This man looked energetic, but his personality was a little too shy.

Moreover, his appearance is a bit too young and loses his majesty. In any case, Zhu Zhen’s opinion is not the material for being an official.

However, this person is not the kind of pampered face. He has a handsome face that looks angular and a bit dark and excessive.

The official robes were cleaned very clean, but the boots under their feet were a little worn. It can be seen that the family background was not very good. Are officials in poor families with very fast cars?

After Zhu Zhen had a little sense of this person, he said bluntly: "Mr. Liu may as well say it directly. After talking about the important matters, I will leave you for a meal. Let's have a few drinks.

I tell you that the food here is much better than outside.”

Seeing that Mr. Wang spoke, Liu Yichuang felt that he had taken off his heavy burden, so he hurriedly said to Zhu Zhen: "Su Wen, Mr. Wang is proficient in economics. When he was in Xuyi, he was known as the God of Wealth. When he arrived in Huai'an, he even turned stones into gold. The officials admired him very much.

Today I came here with a wise heart. I really wanted to ask for something. I hope my uncle will give you a way to make money in Chandong County, so that the people of Chandong County can have food and clothing, so that they will not sell their children or change their children and eat."

He spoke earnestly, looking at Zhu Zhen with both eyes, full of expectations.

The eyes were like facing a Guanyin Master who saved the suffering.

Chandong County is backed by the sea, and now there are rich seafood. The fishing industry is not developed because of the backward nets of fishing boats. It is difficult to get rich from this. However, it is not too difficult to live by fishing every day, right?

Still selling sons and daughters?

Still changing children to eat?

I think Ben Bo is too stupid, come here to cheat?

When Liu Yichuang saw that his uncle suddenly turned apart, he knew that Zhu Zhen did not believe it. He seemed to have expected it. He smiled bitterly and said with a bitter smile: "The lower-ranking officials are incompetent. Although they are trusted by the Duke of the State and are the parents of the Shandong County, they cannot seek wealth for the people under their jurisdiction. They are really ashamed of the Duke of the State and the trust of the people."

He had expected that Qu County was also backed by the sea. If the uncle pushed him a little, he would soar into the sky.

Chandong County is also backed by the sea. It is logical that it will not be rich and powerful, and it will definitely not be able to eat. If you say this, don’t say that others don’t believe it, you will be unbelievable.

However, this is the case.

Most of the local area are saline-alkali land and do not produce food itself.

Originally, he could have relied on going out to sea to fish for some food in exchange for some food, but Chandong County is too poor and there is no timber here. If you want to go out to fish, you have to buy it outside. The local people can't even afford the money for fishing boats.

The small boats in the county can occasionally go out to sea, but the sea has not been peaceful recently, there are pirates and often storms. After losing many foolish people, Chandong County even banned fishing from sea.

Zhu Zhen sank slightly. He knew why he suddenly sold his son and daughter, because he changed the entire salt industry in Huai'an to a franchise.
