Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair and looked calmly at the ministers who were kowtowing below.

He didn't speak for a while.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang said he was free, according to etiquette procedures, all ministers were not qualified to stand up.

Zhu Ying stood quietly next to Zhu Yuanzhang, as if she knew what was going on today, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

After half a stick of incense, Zhu Yuanzhang coughed slightly and then announced:

"Our eldest grandson is a talented and strategic man. In the past two years since he entered the palace, the life of the entire Ming Dynasty has become better and better."

"We believe that all of you, dear friends, have seen the development of the capital and will keep it in your hearts."

"I think everyone is familiar with this high-yielding crop, so let me tell you that I didn't discover it, but it was shipped to us from the Western Regions before our eldest grandson was conferred the title of grandson.

The merits of the Ming Dynasty are also the merits of the Ming Dynasty."

"In the past two years, although natural disasters and famines have still occurred in various places, with the help of high-yielding crops, our Ming Dynasty's food reserves have become more abundant. Under the guidance of our plan, we can solve these problems as quickly as possible."

"The common people are becoming more and more convinced of our Ming Dynasty. We haven't traveled much, but there are some things that we know very well. If we can make everyone in the world full, who will be disloyal to our Ming Dynasty?"

"In two years, just two years, our internal funds have almost been exhausted. That is to say, in these two years, the tax money of the Ministry of Household Affairs has been more than ten times as much as in previous years."

"The reform of officials' salaries was proposed by our eldest grandson. Since our Ming Dynasty is rich, we can't say that we are suffering. We also know that many dear friends have a poor family, and some officials have no foundation.

Even eating is a problem."

"In these aspects, you have to thank our eldest grandson. It is he who has allowed you to live the life you have now. This is also the case, so that many ministers can contribute their own strength to our Ming Dynasty with peace of mind and be free from distractions.

Instead of pursuing our ambitions, we are stuck on this daily necessities."

Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang paused slightly and gave the ministers below him some time to think.

In fact, these things are what Zhu Yuanzhang has wanted to say for a long time, and it is also to prove his eldest son's name.

During the past two years or so, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy and a little sad.

Fortunately, Zhu Ying seems to have a very strong talent in being the emperor, as if he should be the emperor in the first place, and all aspects of things can be resolved with ease.

Sadly, there seems to be no need to pass on any of my skills to my grandson.

What can help Dasun is only in some subtle aspects.

Fundamentally speaking, the direction of a country should naturally be decided by Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, it was he who conquered and expelled the Huru, who restored the Central Plains, and who rectified the world.

But as things develop, it seems that there are no big moves in many aspects. However, Zhu Ying slowly accumulates some small things, and slowly overturns some of his previously determined things.

Such as sea ban.

Before Da Sun, the sea ban had almost never been mentioned. In other words, no matter who mentioned it, Zhu Yuanzhang would directly oppose it, even Da Sun.

However, Dasun did not talk about this aspect, nor did he talk about the issue of opening and closing seas like those officials.

He just pointed out first, the Japanese silver.

The Ming Dynasty was very short of silver. After knowing that a large amount of silver existed in the Japanese country, how could they not be concerned about it?

Even Ru Yu, the Minister of War, chose to support the proposal to conquer the Japanese country at the first opportunity.

Speaking of which, isn't it just for silver?

The taxes and expenditures of the Ming Dynasty were very tight every year.

There is never a shortage of smart people in any generation. The printing of large amounts of treasure banknotes is constantly reducing the credibility of the court. This is something everyone knows, but it is also something that no one can solve.

Why support the conquest of Japan? To put it simply, any knowledgeable person understands that during this period, a large amount of silver was extremely important to the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty had more than two million soldiers. For a small Japanese country, even if it dispatched an army of one million, let alone the previous army of 500,000, it was extremely worthwhile.

People die for money, and birds die for food.

When the news of gold and silver spread among the ministers, the war against Japan became an inevitable war.

The smooth progress of the expedition against Japan, including the silver deposits that have now been discovered by intelligence, shows that this is an extremely correct choice.

The reason why there is no direct grab for silver now is simply because the economy of the Ming Dynasty is taking off at a rapid pace. Based on Zhu Ying's continuous improvement, the purchasing power of the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes is constantly rising.

The original mess is gradually being cleared up.

It seems a bit useless to expend a lot of effort to go to war with the Japanese country.

This is the reason why Japan accepted the surrender.

All the Japanese countries surrendered, and the problem of Japanese pirates along the coast can be said to have been completely solved.

Especially for some trade surpluses in silver with Japan, the maritime ban became an obstacle to the development of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the establishment of a maritime ban seems to be a logical matter.

Let’s talk about the issue of health centers.

When Zhu Ying's Xuanjia Guards showed extremely strong military quality and combat effectiveness, it proved that in many cases, soldiers are really more valuable than more valuable.

Although the health stations did not consume food from the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, from a small perspective, each health station was like a separate vassal town.

The corruption problem inside was slowly revealed by Zhu Ying through constant investigations. This is the fundamental problem.

Therefore, the Wei Suo can solve a temporary emergency, but it cannot last forever.

Over time, it will become a disaster.

When this point was clarified in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, naturally he could only make changes.

With the gradual changes in the health centers, the household registration problem has been alleviated to a great extent.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang did not issue an explicit order to change the household registration, as things have changed now, it can only be done in a tacit manner.

There are also things about government affairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who used to be extremely busy, now found that the emperor's power was stable and he had military power in his hands, but he no longer needed to be as busy as before.

It actually started to feel a little leisurely.

Regardless of whether it was the security of the capital or the security of various places, Zhu Yuanzhang was constantly sending Jin Yiwei to conduct secret investigations.

Facts have proved that even if these trivial matters are not taken care of, the overall public security environment is still showing a continuous upward trend.

There are many, many similar things that are changing quietly.

Zhu Yuanzhang recalled what he told his eldest grandson: Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies.

From now on, it seems that Da Sun has really done it.

I am getting older.

He conquered the world, established the Ming Dynasty, and served as emperor for twenty-seven years.

Over the years, I have been constantly busy and have neglected many things.

It’s not about greed for power that you need to hold on to.

I just don't dare to let go.

Today is like this, why should I be dissatisfied with Da Sun?

That being the case, it's time to let go.

He glanced sideways at Da Sun, and the helplessness in his eyes was caught by Zhu Yuanzhang.

'It's time for you to give us a good treatment for your lazy temper.'

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still a little embarrassed at first, suddenly felt a little laughable.

Then he stood up and walked step by step to Zhu Ying's side. Langxess said:

"From today on, all affairs of the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to our eldest grandson. From now on, I will listen to the government behind the curtain in the court."

The voice fell.

All civil and military officials shouted: Long live your Majesty!

His Royal Highness Taisun is a thousand years old!

.....

No precautions at all.

Zhu Ying didn't expect that the old man would do this to him.

Suddenly he pushed himself to the front of the stage.

To be honest, Zhu Ying is really not used to it now.

After staying behind the scenes for a long time, the huge Fengtian Temple suddenly turned into a stage for one person, and it was difficult to reverse this feeling.

This stage is not one that can be entered casually.

What is weighing on our shoulders is a heavy responsibility.

The biggest key is dealing with the ministers.
