Chapter 332: Snowing and eating hot pot

The first winter snow of this year finally fell. Li Jie was treating hot pot at home today. Apart from him and Zhu Yuning, there were only two people. One was Zhu Xueqing who often came to the mansion, and the other was of course Zhu Yunsheng.

Zhu Yunxi did a good job in helping the victims. Some time ago, with the cooperation of Li Jie, the two disaster camps in the north and south were merged into one place. In fact, the flood had receded before, and some victims began to prepare to go home. After all, they were helpless in the capital and had no land. The court could not support them all the time, so it was better to go back to their hometown to harvest the fields.

Of course, some victims are also preparing to stay in the capital because it is getting colder now and the fields after the flood cannot be cultivated for the time being. Maybe they will go hungry when they go back. It is better to stay in the capital. After all, there are many opportunities to make money in the capital. As long as you are willing to work hard and the arrangements of the court, you will at least not starve to death.

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean when Grandpa sent his elder brother to Fengyang?" Zhu Yunxi asked Li Jie while rinsing the mutton.

Old Zhu's punishment for Zhu Yunwen has been reduced. Zhu Yunwen was punished to go to Fengyang to stay in the door and think about it for a year. It is said that he will leave Beijing in two days and will not be in the capital for even a year. However, this punishment is very intriguing.

On the one hand, it can be seen as Lao Zhu's punishment for Zhu Yunwen. After all, although Fengyang is Zhongdu, it is actually a city built by Lao Zhu. Now it mainly sends some elderly founding nobles to Fengyang for retirement. Zhu Yunwen was demoted to Fengyang. It can be seen as Lao Zhu has given up Zhu Yunwen.

But on the other hand, it may be the opposite. Because when Zhu Biao was the crown prince, he was ordered by Lao Zhu to live in Fengyang for several years. Even Zhu Ren and Zhu Di, the more important princes, lived in Fengyang. Therefore, Zhu Yunwen's trip to Fengyang can also be regarded as Lao Zhu's deliberate training of Zhu Yunwen.

"No one can guess your Majesty's thoughts, but don't worry, Yun Huang, this time the relief of the disaster victims has allowed Your Majesty and others to see your talents. Only your own strength is the key, and everything else is empty!" Li Jie said with a smile.

"Yes, Yun Huang, although you did a good job this time, don't be proud. As the saying goes, you can adapt to changes in the world. As long as you perform well, Grandpa and father will definitely see it!" At this time, Zhu Yun Ning also spoke, and after saying that, he smiled at Li Jie. Both husband and wife have the same thoughts, that is, let Zhu Yun Huang maintain his original intention and must not become arrogant and careless because of one success.

"My sister and brother-in-law are right. In fact, the punishment for Yun Wen is nothing. The real serious punishment is the punishment for those people around Yun Wen. I guess these people are full of grievances. They have obviously tried very hard to teach Yun Wen, but they didn't expect to get into trouble in the end!" Zhu Xueqing couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed.

In addition to Zhu Yunwen being demoted to Fengyang, Lao Zhu mainly punished the people around Zhu Yunwen. The most unlucky one was Huang Zicheng. Although there were many gentlemen who taught Zhu Yunwen, only Huang Zicheng and Zhu Yunwen were closest, which had the greatest impact on Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen even called him "Mr. Huang" and truly regarded him as his teacher.

"Heaven, Earth, Lord, Parents and Teachers" is not just a joke. The importance of teachers is almost on par with parents. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, the status of teachers was improved again, and the relationship between teachers and students is even more reliable than that of father and son.

So now that Zhu Yunwen did something wrong, Huang Zicheng will certainly be implicated, and Lao Zhu seemed to have nowhere to vent his evil fire, so he spread all the fire on Huang Zicheng and personally issued an order to demote Huang Zicheng to Songjiang Maritime Commander. You must know that Huang Zicheng had been promoted to Taichang Temple Minister and a senior official of the third rank, but now he was demoted to the fifth rank of the election, which was completely overturned.

It is also worth mentioning that Songjiang Prefecture originally had no Maritime Warfare Department, and there were only three Maritime Warfare Departments in the Ming Dynasty, which were located in Quanzhou, Guangzhou and Ningbo. During the previous maritime ban, the Maritime Warfare Departments in these three places were once abolished. Later, with the extermination of Japanese pirates and Li Jie's efforts, the maritime warfare Departments finally slowly opened up. The Maritime Warfare Departments in the three places also flourished again. The taxes paid every year alone were very shocking, and Lao Zhu never mentioned the abolition of Maritime Warfare Department.

As for the so-called Songjiang Maritime Warehouse, there is actually not yet. To be precise, it was established from the moment Huang Zicheng was appointed, because with the development of Goryeo and Japan, the maritime trade in the north began to flourish, and many merchants along the Yangtze River participated. They organized fleets to go down the river and then changed their ships to sea in Suzhou.

However, if merchant ships want to go to sea, they must report to the Maritime Mansion. Although Suzhou is a port city, it does not have Maritime Mansion. Strictly speaking, Suzhou is not near the sea, so the fleet starting from Suzhou needs to transfer to Ningbo Maritime Mansion to the south to report, and then turn north.

This is obviously very inconvenient, so a few years ago, officials in Suzhou wrote a letter to request the establishment of a Maritime Warehouse in Songjiang, at the mouth of the Yangtze River. In this way, when the Yangtze River goods go to sea, there is no need to detour to Ningbo, saving a lot of time. Lao Zhu probably remembered this incident, so he drove Huang Zicheng to Songjiang Prefecture and asked him to start the Maritime Warehouse Warehouse in a clear and innocent way. This is definitely a chore!

"I deserve it. Huang Zicheng has disliked me since he was a child. He helped my elder brother openly and secretly. This time he was in trouble, and I finally don't have to see his annoying face anymore!" Zhu Yunxi said with a delight at this time. His hatred of Huang Zicheng even exceeded that of Zhu Yunwen. When he was studying, Huang Zicheng was often compared with Zhu Yunwen. This hurt his little mind very seriously.

"Haha, you are really good. Those who do great things should not be limited to minor details. You have to learn from Grandpa Huang. Even if you hate someone, if this person is capable, you should use what you should use in the future!" Zhu Yunning smiled and taught Zhu Yunsheng a lesson. This is actually the way to be a king. Although it may be a little early for Zhu Yunsheng now, this kind of mind must be cultivated in advance.

"Yunning, although your words make sense, they also depend on the person. For example, I am very dissatisfied with Huang Zicheng. Even if Yun Wen becomes like this now, Huang Zicheng will bear most of the responsibility!" Li Jie smiled and said.

"Hey, brother-in-law, you rarely belittle someone so much. Can you say that Huang Zicheng really can't accomplish anything?" Zhu Xueqing also looked at Li Jie in surprise and asked.

"It's not just that I can't accomplish anything!" Zhu Yunxi also said at this time, "I can see now that a corrupt scholar like Huang Zicheng is really useless. Not only can I not accomplish anything by myself, but I will also lead others. If I have a son in the future, I will never let such corrupt scholars teach you!"

"Yo~, Yun Huang, you have started to think about your son. Could it be that you and Miss Fan have made any progress?" Zhu Xueqing couldn't help but tease her when she heard this.

"Where... there is no, cousin, don't talk nonsense. I want to see Yun'er now, and I have to ask my elder sister for help!" Zhu Yunxiu mentioned that his fiancée immediately turned red. When he said this, he hurriedly asked Zhu Yuning, "Sister, I've been too busy for a while and I don't have time to go back to the palace. I wonder how Yun'er is doing in the palace and whether he has been wronged?"

"You are stupid. Yun'er is very popular in the palace now. After all, a wife is noble because of her husband. As long as you perform well outside the palace, do you still have to worry about Yun'er being wronged in the palace?" Zhu Yuning said as he reached out to Zhu Yun's forehead and smiled.

"Yes, why did I forget this!" Zhu Yunxiu laughed embarrassedly when he heard this.

Zhu Yunwen was demoted to Fengyang. Although Lao Zhu had not made any statement yet, Zhu Yunyu was indeed the most likely candidate for the third generation of heir to the throne. As his fiancée, Fan Yuner may be the future lord of the Six Palaces, so Fan Yuner's status in the palace has also risen sharply, and she is the focus of attention wherever she goes.

"Okay, stop talking. If you don't eat meat, you will get old!" Li Jie also greeted the three of them at this time. It was snowing outside, and the whole family gathered together to eat hot pot and chat. It was so comfortable!

However, just as Li Jie and the other four were eating hot pot, someone was in another place in the capital, tragically trampling on the snow to leave Beijing.
