Chapter 342 Setting the rules

Lao Zhu was in a good mood and said slowly as he looked at his children and grandchildren, "I think everyone knows that our emperor has made a lot of ships at the Longjiang Shipyard when he was young. Our Daming Sea Prison was also done by our emperor."

These are the truth, but Lao Zhu praised Xiao Zhu slightly. The Ming Dynasty's maritime ban was originally relatively strict, and it was not completely banned. In other words, Zhu Yunyou made a little suggestion. The Ming Dynasty has indeed been slightly opened, and now the government has started to do maritime ban.

"Shibo Department, that's a business that makes money." Lao Zhu spoke and said to the royal family. "The spices, jewelry from Nanyang, ginseng from Goryeo, and silver from Japan are all a lot. You individuals must also know what's going on."

There are indeed a lot of good things coming from the Maritime Service. While enriching the supplies, it also brings a lot of benefits to many people.

At this time, Lao Zhu said slowly, "You know how many ships and how much business they have in the Maritime Bureau. We don't stop us. We are willing to make some gold, silver and jewelry by ourselves. As long as you do things in a proper manner, don't interfere with the court's affairs, it will be done."

At this time, the royal family members spoke one after another, "Son minister (Sun minister) listened to the sage order."

Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction, but still reminded him, "The state has its own national laws and family rules. In the future, you can do some business in the Maritime Bureau. Our court should also take charge. There are many people in the royal family who are not doing things in a regular manner, so we know that we are just too lazy to pay attention to it. The emperor sees that you are either an elder or a brother, so he will spare you, so don't be ungrateful."

This time, some of the royal family felt a little nervous, and they were somewhat nervous.

Only they know how many people in the royal family act in a bit of absurd manner. In order to make huge profits, some royal families do not care about the laws of the court. These people rely on their royal family, have enough privileges, and others dare not provoke them.

Smuggling prohibited items such as salt and iron tea is also a "common thing" for many royal families. They don't care about these things going abroad. They even know that these things are at high prices when they go abroad, so they must be happy to see these things.

Local officials dare not take care of them. The royal relatives, local officials and even the laws of the court cannot take care of them. Calling civilian cars in the quasi-tech industry, humiliating the inspector tax collectors, etc. These things are also natural for them.

Zhu Yunyou also stood up at this time and said slowly, "The Maritime Bureau is in great importance. I hope that all the royal families will restrain the servants in the mansion. The court has its own laws and regulations, and the emperor's grandfather also has laws and regulations. If there are any minor mistakes, no one will send an order to punish them. It is just to call them back and listen to the emperor's father's imperial edict. The emperor's grandfather is kind, and the royal families should also understand the emperor's grandfather."

There is no need to say much about this, the children of the royal family also knelt down, "I will listen to the emperor with respect."

This is the fact that the royal family is so arrogant because they do have the capital to be arrogant.

Lao Zhu is so proud of his descendants. Even if it is a crime for a royal family, even if it is a serious crime, it will not be punished. In severe cases, it will be demoted to a commoner, and in the mild case, it will be told to be wronged. Local officials have no right to deal with the royal family. This is the real gold medal for avoiding death!

Furthermore, Lao Zhu couldn't help protecting the royal family. For example, if someone falsely accused the royal family and alienated the royal family, it was a death sentence. If you dare to report a minor crime, it was because Wang Xiaoguo reported that the divorced relatives were killed.

Zhu Yunyou looked at the royal family and said, "The imperial court rules should also be followed. The clan's house is not a decoration. If the clan's children make mistakes, they will punish them. If the clan's children commit crimes, they will be punished by minor crimes. If the clan's children commit crimes, they will not be punished. They will be submitted to the clan's house for review."

Zhu Yunyou's doing this is actually a bottom line for Lao Zhu.

In Lao Zhu's view, his descendants are naturally superior and cannot be humiliated by officials. His children are naturally nobles, so ordinary officials have no qualifications to examine his descendants.

But now it is unusual. Zhu Yunyou suddenly became stricter. Although the royal family is going to be tried now, there is no punishment. After the local officials have closed the case, they also need to report it to the Zongren Mansion, which will be held by the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Censorate’s Office. The Zongren Mansion will send someone to supervise and listen.

For ordinary people or civil and military officials, this is unimaginable tolerance, and this is a treatment they dare not imagine.

But for the royal family, this is tantamount to a "demonstration disaster". In the past, there was basically no one who could control them. They could become the group with the lowest quality and most evil deeds without any psychological pressure.

It is simply because they all know that the treatment of the royal family is so good that the clan mansion can turn a blind eye, and their father can hold the board high and fall down gently.

But it's different now. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he not only did not allow the prince to be vassal, but now he is constantly reducing the privileges and status of the royal family. Now the royal family can be tried, which makes many people feel uncomfortable and want to protest.

Seeing the children and grandchildren below making trouble, Old Zhu snorted coldly, "Bastard! When we were young, corrupt officials were raising their flags to rebel before they could raise their flags to rebel. Now what do our descendants look like?!"

Well, Lao Zhu said, no matter how many opinions the royal families had, they could only listen obediently at this time.

Because Lao Zhu's prestige was too strong, the clans basically did not dare to slut with Lao Zhu. Furthermore, Lao Zhu was basically their father and grandfather, and everything they had was given by Lao Zhu. If Lao Zhu took back some, although the royal family could not get from extravagant to frugality, they could only grit their teeth and recognize it.

I would like to complain to the Supreme Emperor in private that the new emperor can have it, but I dare not speak loudly, or just complain in my heart.

Zhu Yunyou did take back some treatment from the royal family. After all, if there is no restrictions on the royal family, it will definitely cause some unrest. If it was just the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it would be a little better for Lao Zhu's children.

Because at that time, the overall amount of scum seemed small and would not cause too many things. In Lao Zhu's eyes, although he cared about his people, compared to his descendants, Lao Zhu must have cared about his descendants. Therefore, some princes broke the law in their fiefdoms, and Lao Zhu actually turned a blind eye to him.

However, the royal family is now constantly expanding its scale and continuing to let the royal family run rampant like this, that is not a good thing. The chaos that will cause may become increasingly greater and greater.

To be standardized, it also requires consideration and regulation from all aspects. The court's system needs to be continuously supplemented and improved, which is obvious, and it is also something that Zhu Yunyou thinks he must do as an emperor.

Lao Zhu actually felt a little complaining, always thinking that his grandson was too cruel to his family. It was just that after talking about these things, and after talking about them for so many years, Lao Zhu actually realized that the original policies might not be comprehensive enough.

This is one reason why Lao Zhu complained, but he could only choose to agree.

To make your descendants live a better life, Lao Zhu naturally hopes to see these. However, Lao Zhu also understood that the country of the Ming Dynasty needed long-term stability, so when it was time to be cruel, he needed to be cruel.

What's more, Lao Zhu is not a person who does not know the sufferings of the world. Even if his descendants have lowered their treatment, they are just looking at the world, and they are still the most noble people in the Ming Dynasty.

Since Lao Zhu understands these principles, he will be able to do some things easily and there will be no great resistance.

What Zhu Yunyou needs to do is to pull the tiger's skin as a banner. With a big Buddha like Lao Zhu, ghosts and monsters naturally dare not jump around. Zhu Yunyou can also pretend to be a tiger's power at this time and can implement many policies at this time.

Reform also requires reform from all aspects. Zhu Yunyou needs to do a lot of things. He not only wants to reorganize the royal family, but also needs to bring a lot of changes to the court and the world.

"We will let people explain to the clan members of the Maritime Bureau." Zhu Yunyou spoke and said slowly, "The clan members also need to know that in addition to the court, only the royal family members can trade in the sea."

Lao Zhu looked at his grandson with a smile, thinking that his grandson had a lot of ideas.

Zhu Yunyou continued, "The court has the majority, followed by the royal family, and the nobles can also share some benefits. Even if local gentry and merchants share some benefits, they are all leaked from the big guys."

The royal family naturally understood that in fact, the profits of sea trade are large, and everyone knows them. So now there are some coastal people going to sea privately, mainly for interests. Especially in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, there are even more "traditions" of going to sea.

"In the future, the royal family and nobles will receive goods, and they will need to be customized with the court." Zhu Yunyou smiled and said to the royal family, "Our Ming Dynasty court sets rules. How much goods are sold and how much is set for the price. Let's talk about it. Remember not to fight internally, and it is cheaper for outsiders."

Monopolized business is a good business, and Zhu Yunyou blatantly formulates rules. Such monopoly business can indeed make many people gain enough benefits instead of thinking about price wars or something. At least some products are not suitable for price wars.

Although the royal family complained, they had no choice but to do anything about this situation now. They only seemed noble, but they had no real power at all.

Not to mention that the Supreme Emperor is supporting him now, even if the Supreme Emperor is gone, the royal family will not have any struggle or strength to resist. This is the most direct reality.

Zhu Yunyou still needs to continue to do it, and the affairs of the Maritime Bureau need to be regulated. This huge trade market must be controlled by the court, and the court must set rules and distribute profits.

Of course, the biggest benefit must also be taken to the court, so that the country can be prosperous and the people can be strengthened!
