Chapter 347 Is there a compromise!
There was no words for a long time.
Neither Xia Zhibai nor Li Shanchang spoke, they just tasted the food quietly.
After he was full of wine and food, Xia Zhibai also stood up and left.
Li Shanchang did not retain him.
At the same time, he didn't go out to see her off. He just sat in the hall and watched Xia Zhibai go away. When Xia Zhibai's figure completely disappeared from his eyes, Li Shanchang lifted himself up heavily and stood up slowly.
"Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years"
"It turns out that I am really old."
"I thought I was just getting older, but I was very ambitious. Now after talking to Xia Zhibai, I realized that my ideas have long since become old. In the past, I secretly competed with Liu Bowen and wiped out the Zhejiang East Group headed by Liu Bowen. , I still laughed at Liu Bowen for being indifferent, but now it seems that Liu Bowen sees it more clearly.”
"If you continue to break up, you will suffer chaos!"
"It's a pity that I can't look back, and there is no way to look back."
"Ever since I put on this official robe, I have never thought about taking it off, let alone thought about taking off my official robe."
"Abolish the tenure system"
"Good idea."
"It is indeed beneficial to the country and the people."
"But how many people in the imperial court and even in the local area can agree?"
"I can't be a leader, let alone try to do it. The only thing I can do is to be careful in my words and deeds, stay in my position, do my job, and do my job well. At the same time,"
"Alienate as much as possible from the forces in Huaixi."
Said.
Li Shanchang's eyes darkened.
Because he was really not sure what Zhu Yuanzhang would think.
Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts are too difficult to guess, and he is too murderous and has too violent personality. Once Zhu Yuanzhang becomes suspicious, any trivial matter will be put on the line, and eventually it will become a rope to hang himself.
The emperor's heart is unpredictable, the emperor's heart is unpredictable.
There are things that he can avoid without intending to avoid them. He cannot even withdraw easily. Once he takes the initiative to withdraw, it is very likely that Zhu Yuanzhang, who has not doubted himself at all, will suddenly doubt himself, because it is not him who withdraws. style.
Li Shanchang also secretly had a headache.
It was also at this moment that he suddenly understood Xia Zhibai.
Why does Xia Zhibai not have a good relationship with the officials in the DPRK and China? He has been fighting with all kinds of pressures because what he wants to do is to be a "lone minister". He can only be a lonely minister and have no one to rely on. Such a person The emperor is most at ease when using it and is the least threatening.
It's just that he can't.
He followed Zhu Yuanzhang and fought all the way up.
Even if he wants to be a lonely minister, other Huaixi veterans will not agree and will definitely force him to get ahead. When he is in this position, many things are often out of his control because he is no longer just himself.
Li Shan sighed several times, his voice getting more and more sad and deeper.
Even with a bit of panic and uneasiness.
The next day.
It was just dawn.
The weather was still cold, making people want to huddle in bed, but Xia Zhibai still got up early, and even took advantage of the early hour to take a cold shower, when the well water with a little residual warmth poured from the top of his head. Xia Zhibai couldn't help but shudder when he got off, but as a hot mist rose, his body seemed to have gradually adapted.
A cold shower is always refreshing.
Outside the hall, Lu Cang, who was waiting, was secretly speechless. He didn't want to try a cold shower. It was too cold. He even touched the water just now. It was very cold, but he felt a refreshing sensation when he touched it with his fingers. chill.
He couldn't help but shudder when he thought that Xia Zhibai had even asked for several buckets of cold water. He actually doesn't understand either.
Why did Xia Zhibai take a cold shower.
You have become such a high official and you are so rich, why are you still afraid of a little money for firewood?
Say it again.
There may be few other people involved in coal, but who is Xia Zhibai? He is the owner of Kyoto Coal Industry. How much coal he wants is not a matter of words. There is no need to be so fussy and take a cold shower.
Moreover, Xia Zhibai is not a picky person.
When Xia Zhibai came out wearing a piece of underwear, Lu Cang quickly handed over the thick cotton coat.
Xia Zhibai reached out to take it and asked curiously: "Why are you here?"
"Shouldn't we go to the salt factory to learn literacy?"
Lu Cang said: "Brother Xia, it's not that I don't want to go, it's that I was stopped by someone just now. The man seemed to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. He came to deliver a message, asking Brother Xia to go to the palace and tell the prince His Highness is looking for you.”
"How dare I neglect, I ran back quickly."
Hear the words.
Xia Zhibai nodded.
This is indeed not to blame Lu Cang.
He put on his clothes and did not ask Lv Cang to follow him. He just asked Lv Cang to go to the salt factory to study and not miss his studies. Then he bought two buns on the road and ate them while walking. Not long after, he arrived outside the palace.
He was not surprised that Zhu Biao found him.
Ever since Li Shanchang came to see him yesterday, he had realized that Zhu Biao wanted to change.
In Zhu Biao's living environment, no one except himself can get rid of Zhu Yuanzhang's strong influence. Therefore, if Zhu Biao wants to make changes, he can only come to him, and only he can give Zhu Biao the most useful and practical advice. .
Not a moment.
Xia Zhibai arrived at the side hall of the East Palace.
Zhu Biao arrived early and looked up when he saw Xia Zhibai coming in.
When I saw Xia Zhibai's unique clothes, I couldn't help but feel a little weird in my eyes, because the clothes were quite different from those usually worn, especially the outside was still green. Xia Zhibai smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness."
< br>
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Grandmaester can always come up with some new tricks."
Xia Zhibai laughed and said: "Your Highness is joking, I am also bringing goods for the textile factory I own. This is a cotton coat. I prefer to call it a military coat. Although it does not look as exquisite as ordinary clothes, it is better than keeping warm." , thick.”
“The most important thing is that the price is not very expensive.”
"If we want the people to have clothes, we naturally have to make some choices."
"Just be ugly."
Zhu Biao said: "I don't think I'm ugly, but this style is indeed incompatible with the current clothing, and I can't help but look at it a few more times, but the military coat, you designed such a cotton coat, is it possible that you want to supply it to the army sergeants?" ”
Xia Zhibai said: "Exactly."
Xia Zhibai did not hide his thoughts and said bluntly: "The people today don't have much money in their pockets. If you want them to buy such new clothes, not many people will be willing. But if you can get them from the army, Open up sales, this will be a very large and stable market.”
"Enough to make the textile factory run by Chen prosperous."
Zhu Biao frowned and didn't say much about it. He said straight to the point: "I called you here today mainly because I wanted to ask you what you think. I had some exchanges with His Majesty a few days ago, but His Majesty's attitude was ambiguous. There is no explicit objection, but there is no substantial agreement.”
"So I would like to ask if there is a compromise?!"
