    ,

    When the boat sailed to Zhenjiang, Zhao Han had passed by here several times, but this time it looked more lively.

    The industry and commerce around Taihu Lake are very developed, especially the textile and dyeing industries lead the country.  These commodities pass through the river, one route is to enter the Yangtze River from Zhenjiang, and the other route is to enter the Yangtze River from Jiangyin.

    Zhenjiang is richer than Jiangyin because it leads directly to the Grand Canal in the north.

    Today, the sea trade in Shanghai Port is booming, and Jiangyin, which is closer to Shanghai, is gradually catching up, and even has a tendency to overtake Zhenjiang.  Waterway cities such as Wuxi, Changshu, and Taicang have also become important cargo distribution centers because they can connect to Shanghai.  Even Fushanpu, along with Changshu, has gradually developed into a large port on the Yangtze River.

    "Chen Zhenjiang prefect Huang Shunde, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

    The fleet just stayed on the shore overnight. Except for the soldiers who were sent out to guard, the rest of the entourage did not disembark.  Huang Shunde, the prefect of Zhenjiang, brought two officials from Zhenjiang Prefecture and Dantu County to the emperor's ship to have an audience.

    Zhao Han nodded and said, "Excuse me. There are not many stools on the boat, so you all should stand."

    "Abiding by the order!" said the officials.

    Zhao Han said to Huang Shunde: "Your son, should he be in primary school?"

    Huang Shunde looked excited, squeezed out some tears and said: "Your Majesty still remembers the dog, ministerhow can you be so good I must work hard, be a good official, a clean official, and a capable official, in order to repay your majesty's greatness."  Endad!"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense, just don't blame me in your heart."

    "I absolutely dare not." Huang Shunde said hastily.

    This is Zhao Han's first scholar who raised troops in Wuxing Town to help with things.

    Although when Huang Shunde joined the gang, he was just to earn some wages and was ready to surrender to the officers and soldiers anytime, anywhere, but he was considered a very old hero.  What's more, Huang Shunde used to be Zhao Han's secretary, and was released as an official by Zhao Han because his family was intermarried with a rich family.

    If you don't make mistakes, Huang Shunde is at least at the level of a servant.

    Officials are not allowed to intermarry with rich families. This ban has been lifted long ago. Huang Shunde sometimes thinks about it and feels that he has been wronged enough.

    But in fact, it is not wronged, because the Datong New Dynasty continued the policy of the Ming Dynasty, stipulating that officials should not marry women from the places where they work.  This is a replica of the prohibition of intermarriage with rich families, and it is all to prevent officials from colluding with local rich people.

    Zhao Han asked: "Did you go back to Wuxing Town all these years?"

    Huang Shunde replied: "I was transferred two years ago, and I visited once on the way out. Thanks to His Majesty's kindness, Wuxing Town now lives and works in peace and contentment. It is one of the most prosperous places in Luling County."

    Zhao Han said: "If you keep talking nonsense and flattering, you can get out."

    Huang Shunde hurriedly said: "Although it is not the first or second, it is definitely in the top three."

    Zhao Han suddenly lost the mood to chat. What he wanted to talk about was about the parents and relatives of Wuxing Town, and talk about the current situation of those old people in the past.  Huang Shunde was still so blind, to talk about the prosperity of Wuxing Town to the emperor was simply wrong.

    Of course, Huang Shunde couldn't talk like that.  He rarely goes back to his hometown, and even if he does, he doesn't care much about the situation in the village.

    Next, we can only talk about business. Huang Shunde reported the people's livelihood in Zhenjiang Mansion, and was sent away by the impatient emperor after he finished speaking.

    Although it was not very pleasing, after the officials disembarked, they still looked at Huang Shunde with envious eyes. After all, the emperor spent most of his time chatting with the prefect.

    Huang Shunde put his hands behind his back, strode forward with his head held high, listening to the sycophants of the accompanying officials.

    The magistrate of the mansion is Wei Xin, a scholar from Hunan Province. He followed Huang Shunde and flattered him: "The mansion honors the emperor's heart, and he really deserves to be an old minister from Conglong."

    Huang Shunde bragged: "Your Majesty raised his troops back then, and after he captured Wuxing Town, there were no scholars around him. Although I was not a scholar, I was still a boy. I was the first scholar to work with Your Majesty. It was a difficult time.  It is said that it is a town, but it is actually the territory of two villages, and it has to deal with the encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers."

    Lin Yingchen, magistrate of Dantu County, also followed, smiling and jokingly said: "Your Majesty, why not tell everyone how His Majesty defeated the officers and soldiers of the former Ming Dynasty."

    "Yes, yes, yes, we all want to hear it." Other officials echoed.

    "Let's talk about this mansion," Huang Shunde said as he walked, "At that time, His Majesty only had three or four hundred troops, and Jiangxi governor Xie Xuelong led an army of tens of thousands to attack. Today's old Li Ge also recruited brave men from the countryside to go around  Then they rushed to Wuxing Town. Everyone, facing such a predicament, what can you think of to break the situation?"

    The officials frowned, unable to think of a solution.  With only a few hundred troops at hand, facing an army of tens of thousandsp; Wang Diaoding is the head of the Imperial Academy and has made outstanding contributions to Datong Theory.  Officials of the Imperial Academy are not allowed to be easily transferred to political affairs. They can be released to serve in local areas first, and then transferred back to the Ministry of Rites for promotion.  After Chen Maosheng entered the cabinet, he asked Wang Diaoding to be the Minister of Rites.

    Wu Yingji, a native of Anhui, is already in the center. Zhang Bingwen, who is also from Anhui, can also find an opportunity to be transferred back as a court official.

    Within ten years, the number of cabinet officials from Jiangxi must be reduced to only 40%.  Otherwise, as time goes by, there will definitely be troubles in the future, and maybe Zhao Han will have to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang to kill heroes.

    This is really not alarmist talk. If one side is allowed to dominate, it will not be able to be suppressed at that time.

    As the leader of the Jiangyou faction, Li Banghua, even if he is selfless, the people below will use his name to mess around.

    Li Banghua is seventy-three years old this year. Although he is in good health, he won't be able to work for a few years.  When both he and Pang Chunlai leave the court, Song Yingxing will be the next chief assistant, and then the cabinet officials will be able to make major adjustments.
