To be honest, Lao Zhu was moved.

"However, if the court and businessmen get together, isn't that collusion? Does it give those profiteers a reason to collude with officials openly?" Zhu Yuanzhang is most worried about this.

"Tch, Dad, isn't there already? Then Guo Heng resells official grain. How can he sell it if there is no channel?

And I think it must not have been the first year that he resold, but probably for several years.

If we hadn't gone too far this time, who would have known?"

At this time, Lao Zhu couldn't keep it off his face, but what Zhu Jun said was indeed reasonable.

But he still has his concerns. If he opens the door to convenience, Taizu's instructions will probably be rewritten.

Isn't that a slap in the face?

"Then tell me, how to avoid it!"

"It's better to block than to open up!" Zhu Jun was also a little drunk, "What's the use of suppressing it? It's like the prohibition imposed by dad. Isn't there no one making wine in private?

On the contrary, it makes wine more expensive. The more severe the ban, the more severe the backlash will be.

It is better to set rules and give these people room to display. The great cause needs to be developed, and these merchants are needed to transport the great cause's exquisite silks and ceramics to Chen Han and Zhou Dynasty.

Does banning trade mean there will be no smuggling?

If minting is prohibited, no one will mint coins secretly?

No, as long as there is a profit, some people will take risks!"

"Is this what the Shen family said?" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.

"No, these are my own thoughts. In fact, during this symposium, my son wanted to ask his father for something!"

"explain!"

"My son would like to ask my father for some 'official' positions!"

"You want to sell your official position and get a title?" Zhu Yuanzhang reacted instantly.

"Selling an official position and getting a title is just a reward for these people!" Zhu Jun explained: "If these people digest these victims, wouldn't it be better to give them a certain reward?

Businessmen do not lack money, but they lack status.

If the court does not protect such businessmen who are patriotic and serving the people, but treats them as profiteers, then who wouldn't be heartbroken?

And Dad, wouldn’t doing this make others think that we are actually poor?”

"We are already very poor, so why do we need others to think so?" Zhu Yuanzhang said harshly.

"That's right, we are poor to begin with!" Zhu Jun said: "Last time my father asked me what I wanted, can I just ask for some official positions as 'members outside'?"

In addition to being a member of the Communist Party of China, in the previous dynasties, they still had quite a lot of power. When they reached the great cause, they strictly controlled the sale of officials and titles.

But there is no exemption. For example, when Zhu Yuanzhang asked people to raise food and grass, he rewarded many wealthy businessmen with statuses other than officials.

Another example is the history of the money-grabbing order of the Tang Dynasty in another time and space. In the Song Dynasty, it was even more outrageous. One thousand shi of grain was a first-level official. The more given, the higher the official. There was even a complete system of buying officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang tapped his fingers on the table and looked at Zhu Jun, "Okay, since you are so promising and dedicated to serving the people, we will give you some places!"

"Thank you, Dad!" Now that Zhu Jun has enough people, he has to find a way to win over some businessmen. With these channels in the future, it will be easier to do things in the feudal territory.

"Then the Shen family is still somewhat capable. Let's reward him with an official position and let him be a companion in your house!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

A companion book?

That is a seventh-grade position, comparable to being a clerk!

"Thank you dad!"

"You haven't opened a government office now. In a few days, after your wedding, we will provide you with civil and military officials!"

Zhu Jundun became anxious and said, "Dad, forget it, I don't want any civil and military officials, I will find them myself when the time comes!"

The person who is married to Lao Zhu will definitely be bothered by him every day, and it will be annoying to death, so how can he still do the things he likes?

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped him again, "I'm telling you, we need to take good care of the victims. If you follow the example of people like Guo Heng, we won't spare you!"

"Just keep talking, why are you always beating me?"

"It is natural for me to beat my son!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "If you are capable, you can have as many sons as you want!"

"Violent maniac!" Zhu Jun curled his lips.

"What did you say?"

"I said you are a violent maniac!" Zhu Jun stared at him with wide eyes.

I thought Lao Zhu would be angry, but he didn't expect him to smile carelessly, "This is called heroic, you kid, learn from it.

Go away, we are full, don’t go into the palace tomorrow, remember to go to Dali Temple to interrogate people!”

"Get out of here, I really want to stay like this!" Zhu Jun said with the help of wine.

"Remember, don't enter the palace tomorrow. We can't afford to disgrace you with your hair!" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded.

"If you don't go in, you won't go in. What's the big deal!" Zhu Jun was so angry that he untied his belt and poured water on the pillar.

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed: "You bastard, who told you to pee in Fengtian Hall?"

"This is called heroic. I learned it from my father!" Zhu Jun shook his head, fastened his belt, held his head high, and strode away.

Zhu Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "This bastard is really learning how to use it. You are the only one who dares to pee in our Fengtian Temple!"

After leaving Fengtian Palace, Zhu Jun narrowed his eyes. He knew very well why Lao Zhu specifically told him not to enter the palace.

When the eldest brother wakes up, in order to quell the rumors, he will definitely have an audience with hundreds of officials tomorrow.

If he comes here, he will only become the target of public criticism.

So Lao Zhu has been protecting himself in his own way!

This warmed his heart.

It was night, Zhu Jun was chatting with Zhu Yu, and Zhu Yu also learned a lot about the situation when Zhu Jun came in.

He was happier than anyone else about Zhu Jun's progress.

"Big brother is very happy that you can have a benevolent heart, but don't make it too difficult for yourself, you know?" Zhu Yu said.

"Well, I will do what I can!" Zhu Jun nodded.

"My leg probably won't get better." Zhu Yu said, "In the future, I won't be able to catch up with you!"

Zhu Jun quickly said: "No, it will definitely be fine."

"You still want to lie to me?" Zhu Yu turned to look at Zhu Jun, "I was so seriously injured that I was almost dead, but I didn't feel any pain at all. Is this normal?

I have no feeling at all in my lower body, and I am obviously paralyzed. In the past, in the army, someone fell from a horse, and this is what happened, and I will be bedridden for the rest of my life."

Zhu Jun didn't expect that Zhu Yu understood everything, and suddenly said with a guilty face: "Brother, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me..."

"Silly boy, I don't mean to blame you, and this matter is not simple. You must have had a very difficult time during these days when I was patrolling the border, right?" Zhu Yu reached out and touched Zhu Jun's head, "Otherwise, you Why would you write a letter asking for help?

It's my brother who didn't take good care of you!"

"Brother, I..." Zhu Jun felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Don't blame yourself. There are many things that you may not understand even if Big Brother says it. You just need to remember that Big Brother's injury was not caused by you.

On the contrary, if it weren't for you, my eldest brother would have died a few days ago!
