My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 138 Yao Guangxiao is here

Zhu Gaochi and Zhang were talking in the study. Zhu Gaochi was also worried about what to do with the Weaving Bureau's future overseas trade.

However, Zhu Gaochi was very clear that this matter would ultimately need to be resolved by his father, otherwise the situation would not be resolved.

This matter requires my father to go to Sakya Bao, ask for help from Sakya Bao, and ask for help from my uncle.

It's no use for me to go now, I need my dad to step forward. If I don't give enough benefits, Sakya Bao and my uncle will never agree.

Zhu Gaochi saw all of this very clearly, so he is not in a hurry now.

Things have come to this point and it is no longer something I can solve on my own.

When Zhu Di arrived at Jiming Temple, Yao Guangxiao was making tea for him. Zhu Di sat beside him, reading memorials.

Yao Guangxiao brought the teacup to Zhu Di, put it down, and sat on the cushion.

"Old monk, please find an opportunity to meet with Sakya Bao." Zhu Di looked at the memorial and said.

Yao Guangxiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Shakyabao is said to be very smart. If I go to see him, I think he will know what your Majesty meant. Besides, if I go to see Shakyabao, there is nothing I can promise."

"Please also help me look at this kid's face. Also, after you get in touch with him, you can see what kind of person this kid is and understand his personality. Then we can discuss countermeasures. This matter is very important. You must hurry up and do it in the next few days." Zhu Di sat there and continued.

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di in confusion.

"The Weaving Bureau can't delay any longer. If it continues to delay, it will be very disadvantageous to our Ming Dynasty and the people. I can't lose to those civil officials. Moreover, I have always wanted to break the situation, the situation of the southern civil officials clinging together.

Sakyabao's side is the best breakthrough point. Have you ever thought about it? Sakyabao himself represents the children of military honors, while those children of military honors before could only serve in the army. After all, they really didn't know how to govern the country and only knew how to wield guns and sticks.

Now that we have Sakya Bao, I want Sakya Bao to take the lead and lead those sons of military merit to fight against those civil officials. So, I hope you can go and see this child and feel his character. In a few years, I want to go to Xu Mansion in person to meet my brother-in-law and have a talk with him.

I hope we can reach an agreement!" Zhu Di put down the memorial and said to Yao Guangxiao.

After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao thought carefully for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow, but this Shakyabao is indeed smart and has such a deep understanding of arithmetic. This is something I didn't expect.

Being good at arithmetic means that one can do many things. He can work in the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, or the Ministry of War. "

"It would be best to go to the Ministry of Revenue, but you can't go there now because it is still under the control of Xia Yuanji. Xia Yuanji is good at everything, but he is also a member of the Jiangnan Civil Officials Group, so he has to consider their interests. However, he has made some contributions to the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty.

But any minister in my Ming Dynasty has his own interests and his own ideas, which is very normal.

If you want to find a minister who has no selfish motives, it is harder to find than to find a three-legged toad. Besides, even if you find one, you may not dare to use him. "Zhu Di said with a smile.

Yao Guangxiao nodded, then thought of something and said, "Restore Xu Huizu's title of Duke of Wei?"

"Well, he has to recover, especially since Shakyabao is so outstanding. If he doesn't recover, there will be a lot of complaints in the army. Besides, if we want this kid to fight against the civil officials, it won't work without benefits or status.

Without his status, he cannot lead those sons of military merit. After all, Duke Wei is the first duke of the Ming Dynasty. With this status, he can intimidate those guys. What's more, this guy is rich and capable. In this case, letting him deal with the civil officials is the best choice.

But I am worried that this is just my wishful thinking. Sakyabao may not trust me, and Xu Huizu may not trust me either. He is worried that I will settle accounts with him at that time, and he is also worried that if Sakyabao makes a mistake, I will punish him.

After all, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years, so it may not be easy to untie this knot in your heart.

Especially since I arrested Sakyabao and put him in jail last time, I guess it will be even harder for Sakyabao to trust me. I really thought wrongly last time, but it was also those civil officials who ruined my plans.

Those civil officials are trying to alienate the relationship between me and the Xu family!" Zhu Di sat there, sighing, feeling helpless.

Yao Guangxiao nodded, and then said: "This depends on your majesty, but if the Xu family helps, your majesty will be more confident in dealing with those civil officials, especially Shakya Bao. I have also discovered that this child does have some skills.

However, Your Majesty will need to take more care at that time.

Also, Your Majesty, are you going to release Xu Huizu from his confinement?"

After hearing this, Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao and asked, "What do you think? Do you want to cancel it?"

After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao lowered his head and pondered, then shook his head and said, "No, it cannot be lifted. If it is lifted, it will give too many people hope. At the same time, no one dares to say what will happen in the future. After all, many people are still loyal to Zhu Yunwen, especially the civil officials. I am worried that they will do bad things and even use Xu Huizu!

For safety reasons, the title can be restored, but the confinement cannot be lifted. I just don't know if Xu Huizu and Sakyabao are satisfied with this result. If they are not satisfied, then it will be difficult to deal with. Now your majesty needs Sakyabao to break the impasse."

Zhu Di nodded as he sat there, then looked at Yao Guangxiao and said, "Shakabao is very smart, much smarter than I thought. I have been thinking about one thing these days.

The imperial decree that Shakyabao issued to me allowing him to do business was all planned out, it was planned out from the very beginning.

His spinning machines, looms, and dyeing machines were all made on purpose. He knew that I was short of money, and those machines replaced a large number of spinners and weavers, forcing me to find a way out.

It is imperative for the Weaving Bureau to go out to sea for trade. I need money, and I also need to find a way to make a living for those weavers!
Every step was planned by this guy.

If this is the case, this child will really become a great man and be able to assist the boss in the future."

After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao nodded, agreeing with what Zhu Di said.

"It's really not easy for this child to be so capable. It's a pity that I was deceived by the people below, including my third son. Because the third son has a good relationship with the second son, and the second son has always been at odds with his uncle, the third son has been saying bad things about Sakya Bao in front of me. After hearing it so many times, I thought it was true." Zhu Di continued with a sigh.

"Well, Your Majesty, there is another way, which may work." Yao Guangxiao said to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao and motioned for him to continue.

"Shakyabao doesn't want to be an official, nor does he want to do anything for the weaving bureau? Then why not give him a share of the weaving bureau's profits and let him treat the weaving bureau's business as his own? Wouldn't that be better?
Now Shakyabao is mainly busy with his own family business, which also includes the prince's share. He would rather help the prince make money than help you make money. That means that the money you give is not enough and the benefits you provide are not enough.

If Shakyabao is also given 20% for overseas trade, I think he might go." Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di and suggested.

After hearing this, Zhu Di stood up and walked around the wing room with his hands behind his back, thinking about this matter.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Di nodded and said to Yao Guangxiao: "Old monk, you are right. I am stingy. If Sakyabao has a share in the sea trade, and the Duke of Wei is returned to their family, maybe Sakyabao will go."

"Yes, so, Your Majesty, I think this matter needs to be handled urgently." Yao Guangxiao stood up and said to Zhu Di.

"No hurry, go see Sakya Bao first." Zhu Di waved his hand and said, feeling relieved. In this way, plus he would go to talk to Xu Huizu in person, the matter could be settled.

The next day, Xu Qin was watching the people building the workshop outside the construction site, when an old monk in black got off a carriage. Xu Qin turned his head to look at the monk and frowned. He knew this man, Yao Guangxiao. He had seen him from a distance several times before, but never talked to him.

Why did this monk come here at this time? He came here to represent Zhu Di.

"Hello, Mr. Xu." Yao Guangxiao came in front of Xu Qin and clasped his hands together in front of Xu Qin.

"Yao Guangxiao?" Xu Qin frowned and looked at Yao Guangxiao. He didn't expect that he really came to find him.

"Yes, what are you doing?" Yao Guangxiao pointed at the construction site and asked Xu Qin.

"Build a workshop. Why do you come to me?" Xu Qin explained briefly, then looked at Yao Guangxiao and said.

"Yes, I wonder if Mr. Xu is free? Let's chat." Yao Guangxiao stroked the Buddhist beads with his right hand and looked at Xu Qin with a smile. At this moment, Yao Guangxiao was also carefully observing Xu Qin's face.

There was nothing to say about Xu Qin's appearance, he was extremely rich.

As Xu Da's eldest son and grandson, Xu Qin would definitely not have any major problems with his facial features. If there were any problems, it would be troublesome.

Xu Qin looked at Yao Guangxiao in confusion. He was not familiar with him. Could he be a lobbyist for Zhu Di? What was the point of him being a lobbyist? The prince did not even ask him for help. How could he, a minister, come to him? What a joke!
However, since he came to visit the construction site in person, it would be too arrogant if I didn't give him some face.

"Okay, the conditions are simple, let's go sit in that shed." Xu Qin smiled and led Yao Guangxiao to the shed where he was resting.

When they arrived at the work shed, Xu Qin sat down and started making tea for Yao Guangxiao.

"Mr. Xu's current change is indeed surprising?" Yao Guangxiao said with a smile when he saw Xu Qin making tea?

"Hmm" Xu Qin looked at Yao Guangxiao in confusion.

Yao Guangxiao pointed at Xu Qin's hand.

Xu Qin finally understood what was going on, so he smiled and said, "Your family has fallen into decline. You used to be the prince of the Duke of Wei, but now you are a commoner. How can you still show off?"
