Chapter 466 Ambition
In Lao Zhu's eyes, the descendants of Lao Zhu's family are the descendants of Lao Zhu's family and have nothing to do with others.
Don't say that Xu Miaoqing wants to take the credit now. Even Zhu Yunyong's mother-in-law, Chang, and even Queen Ma, who had a close relationship with Old Zhu, are actually the same. Don't even try to take away the blood of the old Zhu family, no matter how good it is.
It's still bad. In short, this is the blood of Lao Zhu's family and has nothing to do with anyone else.
Not to mention Lao Zhu, some of Lao Zhu's children also view these things in the same way. Especially when it comes to the crown prince, it can only be said that it belongs to the Zhu family. As for the crown prince's maternal family, they just admit it.
"Our father said that the further north you go, the colder it gets." Xiao Xiao Zhu knelt on a stool, holding up the map and said, "Going up, we will go to Henan, Shandong, and then to Beizhili. Our slave
Qandusi is located just north of Beizhili. Many Tatars used to live in Mobei and moved north to Mobei during the Ming Dynasty. It’s very cold there.”
Old Zhu looked on with a smile. With his education and Xiao Zhu's words and deeds, although Xiao Zhu was a bit naughty, his knowledge was much better than that of other children. Even if Xiao Zhu's talent did not seem to be particularly outstanding,
But not stupid either.
"Dong Guo of Liang won a great victory at Yu'er Lake. Our father said that the champion of the Han Dynasty was Hou Feng Lang Juxu, and the general of the Eastern Han Dynasty was Dou Xianle and Shi Yanran. Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty defeated the Eastern Turks, and then there was our Duke of Liang."
Xiao Zhu was very proud and said, "Only the most powerful dynasty can have such achievements!"
Chang Qi smiled and said, "Liang Guogong is our uncle and grandfather."
"Our father is also the Duke of Ying." Feng Qi said, not to be outdone, "Our father is the Duke of Ying, and our mother is the eldest princess."
Mu Qi and Mu Lin were not happy, and the two children also shouted, "Our father is also the Duke of Guizhou, and our mother is also the eldest princess. Our grandfather is also the King of Qianning, the most powerful!"
"Then our grandpa is still the King of Kaiping!" Chang Qi became unhappy and immediately said with a tigerish face, "Our grandpa is still the Duke of Song Dynasty, and our younger brother will also be the Duke of Song Dynasty from now on!"
Lao Zhu watched these children making trouble. Although these children were competing with each other, Lao Zhu didn't think there was any problem.
Their generation, and even their children, are fighting hard just to let these children enjoy wealth and wealth. But Lao Zhu also wants to complain. After all, girls are extroverts. Even the princesses of the Ming Dynasty are still married.
, the children born are all from other people's families, and they are also destined to 'other people's families'.
"Our father is still an emperor, and our grandfather is also an emperor!" Xiao Zhu jumped off the stool, put his hands on his hips and said, "Our great-grandfather is also an emperor, and our great-great-grandfather is still an emperor! We will also be emperors in the future, and we are the most powerful!"
Well, there's no need to say that. Xiao Xiaozhu has directly ended the competition among noble family members. No one is better than him.
Lao Zhu posthumously named his father and grandfather the emperor, and Xiao Zhu also posthumously named Da Zhu the emperor. Therefore, there must be no problem for Xiao Zhu and his entire family to be emperors. This is a fact.
Little Zhu climbed on the stool again and said, "Go to the south, pass through Fujian and Guangxi, and reach Annan, Chenla, Siam, and Bangni. There is no winter in those places, it is very hot. Our dad
As I said, everyone there is tanned."
Mu Qi also said at this time, "It's not cold in Yunnan either. We have many of my uncle's favorite mangoes there! My mother also said that we will give my uncle the best mangoes in the future. Our father is always looking for them."
mango."
"If you don't want mangoes, you still have our pony." Xiao Xiao Zhu objected immediately and said, "Cousin, when you become the Duke of the country, you will give us the pony."
This 'treason' really makes people laugh. Of course, this is because Lao Zhu has a big heart. He doesn't think that his great-grandson is 'treason' or has any ambitions at all. Lao Zhu thinks that all this is very natural.
.
Zhu Xi said at this time, "Brother Huang used to say that scholars can know everything about the world without going out. We didn't believe it before. But Brother Huang knew these things when he was very young. At that time, we were still thinking about beautiful clothes and luxury all day long.
jewelry."
Zhu Zhu glanced at her niece and said proudly, "What do you know?! Your imperial brother is in front of you, coaxing you to play. In the past, the queen mother personally taught Ying'er, and Ying'er often left the queen speechless.
I can only let my father, my brother, or someone from the Hanlin Academy come over to answer my questions."
"The emperor has wisdom and is good at thinking." Lao Zhu said with great pride, "We have traveled all over the country for many years, and we know some things, but we just don't understand what they are. The emperor will know it by reading a book, and he can draw inferences from one instance to another."
Zhu Zhu continued to be extremely proud and looked at the consorts triumphantly, "Everyone said that my father and mother favored Ying'er, and I should say so. Mother often said that the Song Dynasty loved prodigies the most, but we Ying'er and those prodigies
It's different. We, Ying'er, were born to be emperors, and we know how to govern the world."
"Don't lie. If it weren't for your mother's personal teaching, he wouldn't be as promising as he is." Lao Zhu smiled even more happily and said, "Ying'er is good in every way, but even if your mother and I teach him, he will be useless.
He is a soldier."
Zhu Yue joined in the fun and said, "Grandpa Huang, don't say this in front of brother Huang, otherwise he will be so angry that he can't eat."
"Dad rules the world!" Although Xiao Xiaozhu was arguing with his cousins, he still said, "In the future, we will be generals and marshals, and we will conquer the world! By then, my cousins will all be for us.
General, we will fight wherever our father likes!"
Lao Zhu smiled and complained, "Ying'er used to want to be the Emperor Wu. When he was a child, he had a small wooden knife hanging on his waist all day long. When he grew up, he wore a sword. Everyone else wore jade, but he was the only one who thought about martial arts all day long. He didn't
That talent, after giving birth to a son, he is already gifted, just like he was when he was a child."
Zhu Zhu said matter-of-factly, "Ying'er has the literary talent of the imperial brother, but the prince has his father's ability to lead troops. Let's say that my father was too busy in the past few years, and Ying'er just has no talent. Father
The emperor can also teach him. The prince follows his father all day long, this is a lot of potential!"
Lao Zhu smiled and looked at Xiao Zhu, "The emperor has some knowledge, but we can't keep up with him. We Yin'er can gain knowledge by following his father. You guys can tell it for yourselves. You know there is no winter in Annan.
?It’s common sense that there are four seasons throughout the year. They say there is no winter, there is only a dry season and a rainy season, and there are many strange things.”
Zhu Yue also said, "We only heard that there is miasma in Lingnan before, but later we found out that the winter there is not cold. I thought it was like this over there, but I didn't expect it to be warmer south of Annan. Our imperial brother did not go there
I know everything."
"The emperor still knew a little bit. He only inquired about the information from the Japanese rogues and concluded that there was a big mine in Japan." Lao Zhu was even more proud. He was no different from ordinary old people and liked to show off the achievements of his children and grandchildren. "Now our Ming Dynasty no longer has silver worries.
It’s the emperor’s ability!”
Whether you say this is flattering, praising others, or simply stating some facts, it actually doesn't matter much.
At least it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Zhu Yunyong now, because although many things revolve around him. It's just that Zhu Yunyong doesn't care about these things at all now and has no time to care about them. He still has a lot of things to do now.
Now, Zhu Yunyong is also the mainstay of the family, so it is natural that he should take responsibility for some things.
Lao Zhu has worked hard all his life, and now it is time for Lao Zhu to rest, take care of his old age, take care of his great-grandchildren, and see other descendants. This is indeed the greatest comfort to Lao Zhu who values family ties.
As for Xiao Xiao Zhu, he is still just a child. Growing up carefree is what everyone expects of Xiao Zhu. Although sometimes Xiao Zhu needs to show up, it is just a face.
Xiao Xiaozhu really needs to do something.
As for his younger brothers and sisters, Zhu Yunyong knows that he is the eldest brother, so he naturally needs to take care of his younger brothers and sisters. These are also responsibilities that he should bear.
There is no need to worry about Wu Xun's affairs for the time being, and there is no need to worry about the loyalty of Chang Xi and Xu Xi. Their appeal is also relatively sufficient, which can make Zhu Yunyong feel at ease a lot.
As for the civil servants, the scholar rebellion has not been completed for three years. These people have no soldiers, so naturally it is better to stay safe at this time.
What's more, with the continuous suppression by Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yingshi, many civil servants have corrected their attitudes and do not have any messy thoughts. Don't think about recreating the scenery of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty.
'Together we rule the world'.
Although the attitudes and opinions of some civil servants can be ignored, if we just want to implement the issue of dividing families into mothers, it does not mean that military generals carry swords and ride horses to implement it. We still need the efforts of civil servants, including some 'unfashionable' ones.
Junior officials still need to be recognized for their execution ability.
Yu Xin was summoned to Wuying Hall again. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he did have a say in this matter, and it was also his duty.
"I am determined to promote it first, and the Ministry of Household Affairs must start preparations." Zhu Yunyong opened his mouth and said to Yu Xin, "The pilot area will need to be divided into acres next year. The officials of the imperial court naturally need to know, and ordinary people should also know the tax system.
Something has changed."
Yu Xin actually corrected his attitude. He knew that his arms could not twist his thighs. "Your Majesty, whether it is the Two Taxes Law or the taxation of land, the court has its own rules for taxation. But the first thing to do is to check the land.
.”
"The Ministry of Revenue has to do these things, and the Three Taxes Department will also assist." Zhu Yunyong waved his hand and said seriously, "This code is the same code. Don't wait for the matter to come up before you do some things. Furthermore, what are the two tax laws?
The tax system has been followed for hundreds of years, and it was the same tax system in the first thirty years of the dynasty, and the people did not understand the concept of dividing a small family into an acre."
Yu Xin understood the idea very well and immediately said, "I will ask people to put up notices in the government office and in front of the city gate, and I will ask people to explain in detail the policy of dividing the land into acres."
Zhu Yunyong is quite satisfied that Yu Xin is so smart. Some things still need to be publicized, especially some policy things, which need to be well publicized.
If there is no publicity, how can the people understand that the two-tax law has been replaced by the per-mu taxation? If there is no publicity, how can the people know how much grain they have to pay?
Yu Xin, the Secretary of the Ministry of Accounts, seems to be quite satisfied with Zhu Yunyong at present. Whether it is the previous bank affairs or the current work of sharing the land, he has done quite well, saving Zhu Yunyong a lot of trouble.
This Minister of the Ministry of Finance is quite qualified.
Since this is the case, there is no need to consider whether Yu Xin is a "confidant". As long as Yu Xin has this ability, he can continue to show his talents and abilities as the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
After all, Zhu Yunyong is an emperor with great power and does not need to think too much about placing confidants in order to control the court. For him, those things are really superfluous and there is really no need.
I think Yu Xin also understands some of these principles, so he has no other ideas at all. It is enough for him to do the things assigned by the emperor in a down-to-earth manner. He does not need to worry about being replaced, and he has to show himself
ability.
The emperor's confidant, maybe Zhuo Jing, might have been demoted for disobeying the emperor's will. It doesn't matter if he is not the emperor's confidant, he can still hold the position of minister.
After all, these people are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. The current emperor does not like party disputes and does not need to consider balance. The current emperor just wants to govern the Ming Dynasty better. What the emperor needs is some capable ministers and officials!
It is enough for Yu Xin, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, to continue to do what the Minister of the Ministry of Finance should do.
And Zhu Yunyong obviously has no way to spare time. The implementation of the matter of dividing people into acres is not enough for just one household department. The ministers who should be summoned still need to continue to be summoned, and the areas that should be discussed and improved are also said to need further improvement. It is really idle.
Can't come down.
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has returned to the palace." Wang Chengen whispered to Zhu Yunyong, "Shuangquan said that the Supreme Emperor is in a good mood. His Highness the Crown Prince is in the mansion of the eldest princess today."
Zhu Yunyong raised his head, smiled and cursed and said, "We know what kind of virtue our son is. Wait a moment, let's go to the palace."
Instead of going to Qianqing Palace, let Lao Zhu continue to take care of the noisy little Zhu. Zhu Yunyong still plans to return to his territory. His wife is still pregnant and should be accompanied more.
Wang Chengen naturally has no objections. He never makes decisions for the emperor. He only needs to carry out the things assigned by the emperor. This is also the meaning of his existence beside the emperor. This is why no one can replace him in these years.
Reasons for location.
Correct your position and correct your attitude, and many things will naturally be done smoothly.
After finishing his official duties, Zhu Yunyong walked towards the East Palace in a good mood. Seeing that Yingshi's second year was about to pass, everything went smoothly.
It's just that Zhu Yunyong is not satisfied, because there is still a long way to go before his ambitions, and he still has many things to do!
Chapter completed!
