Zhu Zhanji stood up and sat down at the yamen.
After the time for an incense stick to burn.
Yang Shiqi hurried back and bowed to Zhu Zhanji,""Greetings, Your Highness."
"Yes, get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhu Zhanji nodded lightly." Grand Elder Yang, we captured nearly 100,000 refugees this time. Do you have any ideas on how to settle them?"”
Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment and said with a laugh,"Your Highness, this is the task the emperor has entrusted to you."
Zhu Zhanji pursed his lips." It's true that they were instructed to me, but without the cooperation of the six ministries, these people can't be settled. Your Highness, please understand!"”
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Yang Shiqi's eyes flickered.”
"The imperial court has already crippled a part of the bandits in this battle. I think there won't be any war around the capital for a long time. I mean, can you arrange for these people to stay in the pass for a long time?"
Yang Shiqi sighed." Your Highness, it's true that the interior of the pass is as you said. The bandits have already left nine out of ten houses empty. But we don't have any rations on hand."
"We haven't even solved the problem of the army's rations. The rations of these people are even more unbearable."
Zhu Zhanji frowned and stood up. He paced a few rounds and turned around,""I'll think of a way to get the food for you now, but there must be a rule to deal with the refugees."
Everywhere the bandits passed by, they burned, killed, and looted. Less than one-tenth of the houses of the people were left. Moreover, the land around the capital was in the hands of the noble officials. These things had to be handled. Otherwise, they could only save them for a while, but not forever!
Yang Shiqi hurriedly bowed to Zhu Zhanji and said,"I've been relying on Your Highness for a long time. I'll take my leave!"”
He turned around and ran away.
Zhu Zhanji looked at Yang Shiqi in surprise for a long time before shaking his head in amusement."This old fox is really a thief!”
Zhu Zhanji shook his head and went to the Jinyiwei in the capital.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Well, Ji Gang, how's the investigation of the family property going?”
Ji Gang looked at Zhu Zhanji excitedly and said,""Your Highness, the harvest is quite good. This time, the Duke of Cheng's mansion, Qian Qianyi's mansion, etc., were raided and seized seven million taels of silver. There are also countless silver jade articles."
Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment and nodded." Well done. Take it out and give it to the brothers working below!”
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhu Zhanji smiled and stopped Ji Gang,""But you have to spit out what you've eaten!"
Ji Gang's entire body stiffened. He turned around and looked at Zhu Zhanji awkwardly.
"Ji Gang, you understand. I don't need to repeat myself. You Jinyiwei should change your bad habits."
Ji Gang sighed." Your Highness, we have no choice. We brothers have to live."
Zhu Zhanji nodded." Of course I understand. In the future, you can leave 10% of the silver for each operation as money for our brothers 'hard work."
Ji Gang was overjoyed,"Your Highness is merciful!"
Zhu Zhanji looked at Ji Gang who was kneeling at his feet. He stretched out his foot and gently hooked Ji Gang's chin with a smile."Ji Gang, you can only take the Zhu family's things if they're given to you. If they're not given to you, you can't snatch them!”
Ji Gang was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed drastically. He bowed and said,"This subordinate is guilty, this subordinate is guilty, please punish me, Your Highness!”
"This is the last time, this won't happen again."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Yes, who owns the two granaries in the south of the capital? Moreover, I see that there are quite a number of granaries in the south of the city."
Ji Gang was stunned. He lowered his head and said," Some of them are from the cabinet's Grand Secretary Li Banghua, and some are from the British dukes. Most of them are from the country's Duke Zhou Kui, who reorganized the emperor."”
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said,"You, you go do your work."
"This subordinate will take his leave!"
Zhu Zhanji raised his head slightly and said,"Chen Nan."
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Bring some people with you. Let's go and take a look at this Zhou Kui!”
"This subordinate will obey."
Zhu Zhanji went to Zhou Kui's house.
Zhou Kui looked at Zhu Zhanji and frowned.""Presumptuous, do you know where this is? How dare you behave atrociously here? Do you want to die?”
Zhu Zhanji smiled and sat down. Where was this? Imperial Palace? Or the Heavenly Court?"
The butler next to Zhou Kui frowned." Little brother, you have no manners. Do you know who's sitting opposite you?" That is the mother of the current empress."
"There aren't many people in the capital who can afford to offend you. I advise you not to make things difficult for yourself."
Zhu Zhanji smiled and looked at Zhou Kui seriously.""I thought about it seriously just now. There's really no one in Beijing that I can't afford to offend. I just don't know if you're like me."
Zhou Kui sat up and looked at Zhu Zhanji fiercely." Whose child are you? Let me tell you, even if my daughter is no longer the Empress and my son-in-law is no longer the Emperor, they are not people you can afford to provoke."
"Do you know that Emperor Yongle is here? My son-in-law is from Emperor Yongle's lineage. To put it bluntly, they are all family. Do you think you can afford to offend them?”
"Zhu Youjian is a member of the Zhu family and a descendant of Emperor Yongle, but you aren't, are you?" Zhu Zhanji smiled.”
