The reason why Zhu Laosi summoned Xia Yuanji, Zhang Fu and others was indeed as Zhang Fu guessed, because of the rebellion in Shandong.

Zhu Laosi didn’t care who Tang Sai'er was, and Zhu Laosi didn’t care about what was going on in Shandong now.

What really made Zhu Laosi angry was that the local government had the courage to conceal and not report it, and the officers and soldiers were ineffective in their conquests and suppression.

After waving his hand and ordering people to loosen Yang Shaofeng's tie, Zhu Laosi directly threw the secret report handed over by the Jinyiwei to Zhang Fu: "Look, the commander of the Qingzhou Guard was killed in battle, and the troops led by Sun Gong, a thousand households in Juzhou were killed. The local government concealed it and did not report it. If the Jinyiwei had not handed over the news, I was afraid I wouldn't know it yet."

Zhu Laosi's voice was very calm, so calm that he could not hear any anger. However, Zhang Fu's hand holding the secret report shook unconsciously.

After thinking about it, Zhang Fu still sold Xu Jingchang with the idea of ​​not dying the Taoist fellow Taoist, "I just told Your Majesty that the Duke of Dingguo said that His Majesty would exempt people from taxes, and those gentry would definitely increase their rent. In addition, Shandong is either drought or flood, so the people cannot survive, so they naturally rose up."

Zhu Laosi was so rare that he was not angry, but instead looked at Xu Jingchang unexpectedly.

If I really talk about it, Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Ding, is actually similar to Xu Qin, the Duke of Wei, and they are both bastards who don’t feel sorry for breaking their legs.

However, in just a few months, Xu Jingchang was able to say such words, which was enough to comfort Xu Zengshou's spirit in heaven.

There was no sign of joy and anger on his face, and Zhu Laosi just said lightly: "The problem now is, what should Shandong do if it is done?"

Zhu Gaoxu was thinking about Qingzhou's base camp, and then bowed and said, "I heard from my father, and I thought I should send effective personnel to lead the troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible."

Zhu Laosi ignored Zhu Gaoxu and turned his attention to Xia Yuanji: "What do you think about Xia Aiqing?"

Xia Yuanji bowed and said, "I am just thinking about what Duke Dingguo said.

Your Majesty is full of love for the people and has exempted people from taxes. If the people can still survive, they will not miss His Majesty's kindness.

But the current situation is a rebellion in Shandong, which spread to more than a dozen prefectures and counties in just over a dozen days.

I was wondering how cruel you have to be able to be able to collect 70% of your rent?”

After Xia Yuanji finished speaking, Zhu Laosi sighed.

How cruel is it? It is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius and the place of saints when mentioned, but these messy things are placed there. I am afraid that Confucius and Mencius will be angry to death after arise underground again.

However, compared with these cruel gentry, those people in the officialdom deserve even more damn!

Conceal and not report? Recruitment?

If this continues, will there be a situation where you want to become an official, kill people and set fire to be recruited? Will anyone be able to kill officials and rebel if they are unhappy?

Yes, in Zhu Laosi's opinion, those gentry should be damned, and those officials who conceal and do not report should be damned, those officials who failed to suppress the rebellion should be punished, and those who took the lead in rebellion should be even more damned!

Seeing that Zhu Laosi began to sigh, Zhang Fu couldn't help but whisper: "Your Majesty can be relieved. No matter how chaotic Shandong is, it is just a disease of scabies. Give me five thousand elite soldiers, and the rebellion can only be suppressed."

Zhu Laosi shook his head but didn't say anything.

Shaking his head, Zhu Laosi continued, "I forgot that you had been in Liaozhou and took the 5,000 soldiers of Liaozhou Guard to block the river bank. Only those with brain diseases can do it."

Are you praising me? I just think you are praising me!

Yang Shaofeng complained secretly, then bowed to Zhu Laosi and said, "When I say my grandfather, it is actually because my grandson has some ideas in his mind. He wants to try it in Jimo."

Zhu Laosi nodded and said, "Tell me, let me see."

"Don't let him say it!" Xia Yuanji said anxiously: "How can Your Majesty let the top scholar go to Jimo? This sword and gun have no eyes. If there is any mistake, the national treasury..."

"Don't mention the national treasury," Yang Shaofeng said: "Seventy million taels of silver are enough for your national treasury to run for a hundred years!

Besides, I am not really crazy. I went to Jimo just to try some of my thoughts and see if I can completely solve the problem in Shandong.

If it works, my idea can be pushed to other regions, and there is no need to worry about the people not having enough food in the future."

As soon as Yang Shaofeng finished speaking, even Zhu Laosi was a little moved - there was no need to worry that the people could not have enough food, that was more important than tens of thousands of taels of silver!

After carefully looking at Yang Shaofeng, Zhu Laosi said, "Tell me, what do you think?"

Yang Shaofeng said: "My grandson wanted to go to Jimo because he wanted to see if he could start from planting, breeding, commerce, rivers, bridges, transportation, etc., and make the people rich first.

In addition, let’s try the seeds that Eunuch Zheng brought back from overseas to see if there are any suitable products and whether they can make the grain more productive.”

Zhu Laosi nodded and said, "Let Qin Zining lead 5,000 squads to go with you, and I will let Wu Keqin lead the three thousand cavalry of Xiaoyi Camp to go with you."

Waving his hand to stop Xia Yuanji who wanted to say something, Zhu Laosi continued, "Okay, this matter is settled."

Xia Yuan Yoshik said anxiously: "That rebels from Shandong?"

Zhu Laosi said, "What a panic? He led the five thousand squads and three thousand cavalrymen. If the rebels still hurt him, then he would hide in the capital. Even the emperor is not safe.

As for the rebels, as Zhanji said, let the rebels rebelled for a while, and the British Duke is ready to quell the rebellion at any time."

After giving all the instructions, Zhu Laosi said, "Let's retreat, Zhanji and you two stay."

After all the others left, Zhu Laosi turned his head and ordered Wuxin: "Let everyone retreat a hundred steps away, and there is no need to leave anyone outside the hall to guard it. Let the historian who records daily notes retreat first. There is no need to keep the following matters."

Wuxin bowed and responded, then walked out of the hall. After a while, he came back and closed the hall gate.

Zhu Laosi looked at Yang Shaofeng and said, "You kept winking at me just now, what do you want to do?"

Yang Shaofeng bowed and said, "You are the words of Grandfather, and your righteous brother, to make excuses for some of your grandson's ideas."

Zhu Laosi nodded and said, "Tell me."

Yang Shaofeng gave a reassured look at Zhu Zhanji, who was full of worry, and then said directly: "My grandson just wants to use the rebels to remove some people."

Zhu Laosi said: "Which family? Your reputation is then..."
