First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 9: On the Weakness of Landlords

   Zhu Chongba felt a little hesitant in his heart. He felt that directly provoking Guo Zixing to be unwise and stroking the tiger's whiskers would have consequences. But I feel that my heart is not at peace, so I can vent my breath.

   Noting Zhu Chongba's hesitation, Zhang Ximeng gave a chuckle in his heart. It was broken, and he was good at making opinions.

  If you want to be a good secretary, you have to understand where the boundaries are, and take the initiative for the boss. Even if it makes sense, are you the boss, or am I the boss? Putting it on the emperor, things are even worse. That's how Hu Weiyong died.

  Although Lao Zhu hasn't really started his own business yet, it is still necessary to guard against mischief.

   "Gongong, the kid also feels that it is a rare opportunity to strike while the iron is hot. Therefore, I have the courage to arrange it. As for the things that the gong is worried about, the kid thinks that maybe it won't happen."

   Zhu Zhongba was startled, and then said: "Do you know what we are worried about?" He leaned forward and stared at Zhang Ximeng, very curious. Zhang Ximeng was not afraid, but met his gaze and said seriously: "Benevolence is worried that the handsome is annoyed, and the kid thinks it is unnecessary."

   Zhu Chongba knew Zhang Ximeng was keen, and he didn't need to lie to this kid.

   "Tell me, why not use it."

   "Yeah!" Zhang Ximeng nodded and said, "Benevolence, knowing people and discussing things. The handsome man is fifty years old this year. He is also a powerful landlord in Haozhou. He has a lot of wealth. The past days were pretty good."

   Zhu Zhongba nodded and smiled, "Little sir, this is something everyone knows, do you have any ideas?"

   Zhang Ximeng smiled, to put it bluntly, isn't Guo Zixing the landlord of Haozhou! Is it hard to guess what this kind of person thinks? Of course, Zhang Ximeng can't draw a conclusion directly, he still has to throw the pot to the dead father... I'm sorry!

"En Gong, my father once wrote an article summarizing the history of the founding monarchs, Qin Shihuang inherited the inheritance of the ancestors' foundations... Chu and Han quarreled, to put it bluntly, the three robbers and the descendants of the nobles of the six countries were fighting, and the last was the humble ancestor of Han. Liu Bang won the world...Although Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, was a descendant of the clan, he was no different from a commoner in his generation. Counting further down, the founders of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were all family members. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was barely considered a martial artist. Well, Yuan Ting is a foreigner." Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "What kind of taste did you taste?"

   Zhu Zhongba thought for a while, and then slowly said, "The little gentleman wants to talk about the powerful landlord, it's hard to get things done?"

   Zhang Ximeng nodded and gave Lao Zhu a thumbs up.

"En Gong, take this Red Scarf Uprising as an example. Liu Futong was born from a humble background and raised the uprising flag first. The rest of Zhima Li, Wang San, Meng Haima, etc., are all poor people. Only Marshal Guo, he is better than others. It was a few months late to start things, and after occupying Haozhou, he was hesitant to move forward. The knowledge in this is not small!"

   Zhu Zhongba thought for a moment, seeming to realize something, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, tell me!"

Zhang Ximeng said: "The reason is simple. The handsome man can live on his life. He never thought that he would die and break the net. I saw the Red Scarf Army's fierce momentum and had a chance. He took advantage of the emptiness and took advantage of Haozhou. When the Red Scarf encountered a problem, the general also knew that the leader of the party was not so good, so he wanted to guard Haozhou and didn't want to make progress."

The powerful landlords and the bourgeoisie still have some similarities. They are both decent people who have nothing to worry about. They have the ambition to gain more power, but let them change the day, break an old world, and rebuild. New universe. Sorry, they don't have the guts. This situation may be called the weakness of the property-owning class.

   So in the past dynasty changes, the powerful landlords were very important forces, but almost no founding group of any dynasty belonged to this group of people... But there seems to be an exception, that is, the Sima family of the Western Jin Dynasty... Not to mention it!

   Zhu Chongba thought seriously, he knew Guo Zixing better than Zhang Ximeng, and he thought about it along the lines of thought, which is really the case. Of course, when Guo Zixing had courtesy and virtuous corporal, he was nonsense, otherwise how could he marry his adopted daughter to Zhu Chongba.

   But in many cases, Guo Zixing doesn't like to deal with the soldiers, there is always a sense of alienation. So that Sun Deya and others were able to invade Guo Zixing's power, relying on the support of the soldiers, to challenge the authority of the commander.

"Sir, do you think that Marshal Guo can't get things done? Let's do it alone?" Zhu Chongba shook his head directly, "We can't agree, Marshal Guo is kind to us. At this juncture, the officers and soldiers suppress the situation. If we ran away, wouldn't we be deserters? No matter what!"

Zhang Ximeng was not surprised. He smiled and said: "En Gong is right. Now it is indeed not the time to leave Dashuai Guo. On the contrary, he needs to use all his skills to help Dashuai Guo keep Haozhou. Only by repaying Dashuai Guo can he conspiracy. Next step!"

   What he said categorically made Zhu Chongba hesitate instead of persuading himself to go... Then what's going on?

"Gongong, we just talked about the character of Dashuai Guo. This time we are dealing with the food problem, and we can see it. Since we are the leader of one party, we should stand up and deal with the grain merchants, gather the hearts of the people, and defend the city against the enemy. This is what a hero should do. But the boss dare not offend the wealthy businessmen in the city. He always wants to kill people with a knife, without guilty. His character, I am afraid that even Haozhou will not be able to keep it in the future."

  Zhang Ximeng is really not nonsense. Looking at the historical data, if it weren't for a son-in-law like Zhu Yuanzhang, Guo Zixing would only be listed as "other" in the history annals. It is completely incomparable with Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui and others.

"My benefactor, you are the most correct to assist the general and protect Haozhou. Now you still need to accumulate talents and wait for the opportunity. But if it is for this reason, you will be loyal and filial, and be honest. A handsome pawn. I am really worried that one day, the general will abandon you. Besides, if you don’t have any opinions, how can you stand on your own and accomplish great things in the future?"

Zhang Ximeng’s words were in Zhu Chongba’s heart. He was in a bad situation under Guo Zixing. The biggest problem was Guo Tianxu. This young marshal didn’t know what medicine he had taken wrong, but he just didn’t like it. Zhu Chongba is embarrassed everywhere.

   In Haozhou City, these big-time men are also in intrigue with each other, and they don't seem to be doing big things at all.

   Going out alone is the best way out, but the time is not ripe yet.

   Zhang Ximeng perfectly captured Zhu Chongba's heart.

   "Little sir, I understand what you mean... You mean that we are doing things for the handsome, and naturally we have to do our best. But we can't be a fool, let the handsome know our weight!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said: "Benevolence has a high opinion, and he has all the scheming methods, but he is not the hero who kills the fruit. He blindly obedient does not necessarily have any benefits. Appropriately show the strong head, just to make the general awe three points. In terms of arguing, you must fight for what should be argued, and don’t bear the anger that should be vented!"

  Zhu Chongba couldn't help but cheer up, he quickly understood what Zhang Ximeng meant, just like he was in Huangjue Temple, blindly working honestly, UU reading www. uukanshu.com can't change the pity above, just think you are bullying, and everyone will play with you.

   This time Guo Zixing rewarded and punished him unfairly, and treated him as a swordsman, so he would simply show his strength and show Guo Zixing. Want to come at this critical juncture, Guo Zixing can't break his arms!

   Zhu Chongba figured it out, "Little sir, let's ask again, do you think the handsome man will bow his head?"

   "Yes! Soon! To deal with Jia Lu and defend Haozhou, you must be kind to you, Marshal Guo will definitely come and invite you!"

   Zhu Chongba again said: "Then what should we do?"

   "Naturally I agreed, and I am very happy and grateful."

   Zhu Chongba shook his head, "We are asking what do you want to do next? Do you need to converge?"

"Convergence? Why converge? My benefactor should be more decisive, and go ahead. The military and people's hearts of this city of Haozhou are between the benevolent's thoughts. If you are only committed and follow the rules, those who have just had expectations for my benefactor. The people, shouldn't they be disappointed?"

   Lao Zhu's heart rejuvenated again. He weighed and weighed and fully understood Zhang Ximeng's thinking. This kid had seen through Guo Zixing and knew that the enemy is now in urgent need of hope, so he allowed himself to stand up and shoulder the burden.

   really amazing!

  "Mr., is this all written by my father?" Lao Zhu suddenly asked.

   Zhang Ximeng was startled, almost lost his attitude, and hurriedly said: "The kid is just trying to figure it out based on the article, he may not be right..."

   Zhu Chongba just laughed and said nothing.

   At this moment, suddenly there was a noise outside the courtyard, and Guo Zixing came with a few guards in person.

   Zhu Chongba was shocked, and only said one sentence, "The little man knows everything like a god." Turning around, Zhu Chongba hurried out...
