Chapter 971
As soon as Wei Wu said this, a smile immediately appeared on Master Zheng's face.
That’s right, there are three generations of emperors. The first is Zhu Yuanzhang, and the second is Crown Prince Zhu Biao. These two generations of emperors are stable.
Given the relationship between my young master and the Zhu family, there is no need to worry about being suspected because of his great achievements.
Since it has been decided that the merits and demerits will be offset by self-defilement, both Old Zhu and Little Zhu will fully cooperate.
Finally, there is the third generation of emperors. There is no need to mention this generation of emperors, although they are only children of a few years old now.
But every time he saw Wei Wu, he would call him uncle left and right, and their relationship was very close.
Not to mention that his young master was the savior of the Crown Prince, and there was also the influence of Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang.
It can be said that as long as nothing unexpected happens, the young master will not have to worry about being suspected by the emperor in the next sixty years.
As for after he turns sixty, he would probably be dead by then and would have no time to worry about this.
So after Wei Wu finished speaking, Master Zheng immediately smiled and joked:
"Master, you will be a crab in the capital from now on. I'm afraid no one will dare to provoke you."
Upon hearing this, Wei Wu also laughed because he understood the meaning of Master Zheng's words.
After all, he will have to defile himself frequently in the future, and there are various ways to defile himself, so it all depends on his choice.
For example, if you are in a bad mood today, you can run to Duke Zheng's mansion and beat Chang Mao up, which will give the emperor an excuse.
Just do this over and over again. Today it's the Duke of Zheng, tomorrow it's the Duke of Han. He will go after whoever offends him.
Even if it was reported, the emperor would not chop off Wei Wu's head for this matter, but those who were beaten were really beaten.
Zhang Hai didn't understand what the two people meant, and Wei Wu was too lazy to explain to him, so he just talked about business with Master Zheng again.
"What are your thoughts on the road construction on the Eastern Front?"
Hearing Wei Wu speak, Master Zheng quickly put away the smile on his face and responded:
"If you are a Duke, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys is indeed a good idea, but this should not be enough to make you feel relieved, young master!"
"Yeah, it does feel a bit off."
Wei Wu spoke his thoughts frankly, and then added another sentence.
"But there will be plenty of opportunities to vent your anger later. The most important thing now is to repair the road first."
Master Zheng nodded slowly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke again:
"Master, you just said that work on the eastern front has completely stopped?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
Master Zheng shook his head and said:
"There are indeed some problems. In my opinion, it is best to continue recruiting people at this time. If we can't find people locally, we can recruit from other places."
"Even if they try to play dirty tricks later, it doesn't matter how slow the progress is, as long as the project keeps moving forward."
Hearing what Master Zheng said, Wei Wu couldn't help but frown slightly and asked with a hint of doubt.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because as long as the road construction is still going on, they know you haven't given up on it. But once the construction stops..."
Wei Wu raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what Master Zheng meant.
"You mean, they'll think I've given up on the eastern route? After all, the entire Nanzhili region is so big that this route won't hurt."
"Yes, you want this path, and they want it more than you do. Otherwise, they wouldn't cause so much trouble, and act so recklessly."
Master Zheng nodded in response, then frowned slightly and thought for a while before continuing:
"They dared to openly rob so brazenly. If nothing unexpected happened, all the gentry and nobles in Jiangnan must have been involved."
"When these people gather together, their influence is unpredictable. Now that you've suddenly stopped work, they're definitely going to think too much."
"According to my speculation, they will not only force the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, but will also take action in the imperial court!"
