Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 44 Reward the three armies? ! Ye Xuan: Is it too late to sever ties with Shen Wansan?

Shen Wansan said proudly:

"The emperor wants to build the city wall of the capital, but the treasury does not have enough money, so I will help the emperor build the city wall. My Shen family has nothing else but a lot of money. This is the only way I can share the emperor's worries."

"And, I also plan to help the emperor reward the three armies."

"In this way, the emperor will definitely pay attention to our Shen family."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Xuan's whole body went numb and he looked at Shen Wansan with an idiotic expression.

You have money.

You are amazing.

But that’s not how money is made.

It has to be said that although Shen Wansan is a businessman with a ruthless business vision and amazing talents, his political level is no different from that of ordinary civilians.

Shen Wansan helped Zhu Yuanzhang build the city wall of the capital.

no problem.

The problem is the latter one.

Help Zhu Yuanzhang reward the three armies?

Is this because you don’t want to die quickly enough?

Zhu Yuanzhang already regarded the Shen family as fat and oily, and he stared at them with eager eyes, but you still jumped up and down in front of him, even touching his sensitive parts.

If he doesn't mess with you, who will?

The emperor valued military power most.

Historically, in 1365, when Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhan Tong discussed Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's removal of military power from the generals, they said:

"If Song Taizu had taken back the military power of those generals earlier, the world might not have been divided into five dynasties and ten kingdoms."

Therefore, after establishing the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang reused and gave preferential treatment to those meritorious generals, while restraining them with laws and etiquette.

In the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang established the enfeoffment system.

Let his son be the feudal king.

Trying to replace the generals with vassal kings.

The status of the vassal king is only one level lower than that of the emperor. When the princes and ministers see the vassal king, they must "fall down and pay homage".

But will the general surrender his military power so easily?

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang gave them official promotions to paralyze them, and then used marriage to stabilize this group of heroes, thereby consolidating the imperial power.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually eroded the military power of generals and handed these military powers to his sons, letting them guard various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China.

He couldn't even trust those good brothers who had been with him through life and death. He wanted to firmly hold the military power in his hands and let his son control all parts of the military power to guard the Ming Dynasty.

From these, we can see that Zhu Yuanzhang valued military power.

And Shen Wansan actually said that he would help Zhu Yuanzhang reward the three armies.

How can you, a businessman, be qualified to reward the armed forces?

As a businessman, what do you want to do to please the three armies? Do you want to win over the three armies?

If Zhu Yuanzhang is not angry but draws his sword and cuts you, you will be considered lucky.

But no matter what, Shen Wansan is now Ye Xuan's father-in-law.

Ye Xuan could not let Shen Wansan commit suicide.

Furthermore.

If Shen Wansan seeks death, he and Shen Rong will be harmed.

Ye Xuan persuaded with a serious face:

"Father-in-law, this is absolutely impossible."

"It's fine if you build a city wall, but don't ask the emperor to reward the three armies."

Shen Wansan was about to speak when he was interrupted by Ye Xuan and was stunned.

Then he frowned slightly.

"Why is it that I help the emperor reward the three armies, but I am helping the emperor save the country's financial expenditure? Shouldn't the emperor be happy to see it?"

Shen Jin also echoed:

"The emperor wants our family to help build the city wall because he wants to save the country's financial expenditure. Now we are willing to help him, and we are even willing to help him reward the three armies. The emperor has saved such a large amount of money, how can he be unhappy?"

"Brother-in-law, although the emperor has a high and powerful position, he is also a human being. Human psychology is the same. If you can take advantage, they will definitely be happy."

Ye Xuan looked at these two idiots with eyes that looked like fools.

Is Zhu Yuanzhang still happy?

He is indeed very happy. He is so happy that he will give you a three-thousand-mile exile package, and then he will openly and openly plunder the Shen family's wealth.

Ye Xuan explained patiently, "The emperor himself is a dictatorial and suspicious person. You are just businessmen. However, you want to extend your hands to the army. Do you think the emperor will be happy? Can he tolerate you?"

Shen Wansan's expression changed drastically when he heard this.

Why didn't he think of this?

He thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was sparing him by letting him build the city wall, so he wanted to gain more favor in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Instead, he thought of helping to reward the army.

Who would have thought that rewarding the troops to increase their favorability would result in negative points.

If not for Ye Xuan’s reminder.

I'm afraid he really foolishly ran to Zhu Yuanzhang and told Zhu Yuanzhang to help him reward the three armies.

When the time comes, what awaits is not the reward.

But a knife.

Shen Rong's expression also changed slightly.

As early as when Ye Xuan and Shen Wansan and others were talking about these things, she asked the servants to go down.

Fortunately she arranged it in time.

Otherwise, what Ye Xuan and others talked about would fall into the eyes and ears of others, and they would be killed.

At this time, she also had lingering fears.

If according to Ye Xuan's statement, Shen Wansan would definitely offend Zhu Yuanzhang by rewarding the three armies.

But Shen Wansan was stupid and didn't know what was good or bad.

Rush up.

Heads will definitely fall to the ground.

The entire Shen family will suffer as well.

She was glad in her heart.

"Fortunately, my husband is resourceful and knows the pros and cons. If not, if dad really mentioned helping to reward the three armies in front of the emperor, I'm afraid we would all suffer."

Shen Jin also gradually came back to his senses.

His face suddenly turned pale.

"You dare us to give gifts to the emperor, but also bring disaster of genocide. What's the point? Although he is the emperor, it's too much, right?"

"Shhh."

"Jin'er, be careful with your words and actions, just in case the walls have ears."

Shen Wansan raised his index finger to his lips and warned with a serious face, then sincerely thanked him and humbly asked for advice.

"Son-in-law, I am just an ordinary businessman and I have no idea about the affairs of the court.

If you hadn't reminded me, son-in-law, our entire Shen family would have suffered. Son-in-law, besides this, do we need to pay attention to other things? "

Ye Xuan glanced at Shen Wansan and others who had no self-awareness, sighed in his heart, and said:

"The house is really luxurious."

“In terms of daily expenses on food and clothing, save whatever you can.”

"We are in the capital now, under the emperor's feet. If we can keep a low profile, we will try to be as low-key as possible and not attract attention. As the saying goes, wealth should not be revealed."

"It's easy for others to envy and hate you now. If you go back to your hometown of Suzhou, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. You can show off in any way you want. After all, it's difficult for the emperor's hands to touch there."

"Anyway, we should try to keep a low profile."

"Try not to show off in front of the emperor."

Fortunately, Shen Wansan was his father-in-law, otherwise he would have been jealous when he saw the life of a damn feudal landowner.

Shen Wansan was confused.

"Low-key?"

"We are already very low-key."

"We have never been so frugal in the past when we were in our hometown of Suzhou."

Ye Xuan:....

Listen to the tone of this rich man.

No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to swallow up this big fat piece of Shen family.

He is greedy.

Ye Xuan solemnly reminded, "Then keep a lower profile and behave like ordinary civilians."

Shen Wansan was deeply taught.
