Chapter 558 Grandfather and grandson
Chapter 558 Grandchildren
Although Lao Zhu has abdicated now, some people inside and outside the palace may even consciously avoid Emperor Hongwu.
Once the emperor and the ministers are born, even if Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu don’t have anything to be taboo. But for many people, it is better to be taboo because they can’t withstand any room for making mistakes.
During the reign of Emperor Hongwu, even Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu were in charge of power at that time. It was very common for formal ruling or less formal ruling. However, even so, many people knew very well that Emperor Hongwu was the supreme emperor.
Now, the British Emperor has been in power for the third year, and everyone is used to starting to move closer to the British Emperor.
The status of Emperor Hongwu does not need to be doubted, but don’t regard Emperor Yingxi as a person without temper. Emperors of all dynasties will not be used to being robbed of power.
Zhu Yunyou doesn't care about these things, maybe there is a little bit of a good deal when you get it.
However, the most important thing is that Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu also understand that they are emperors. Although many people are trying to figure out the best, those people still underestimated the family affection between Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu, and even underestimated the "generous" of these two emperors on earth.
In the Qianqing Palace, Lao Zhu was in a good mood, "We are so old, and we still want to help you read the memorials? In the early years, we were afraid that you would have a short time to manage the government and that you would suffer losses. Now that we have been the emperor for three years, we should be familiar with these things, and we should do our own things by ourselves."
Zhu Yunyou didn't care and sat on the stone bench. "We read the memorial before we were enthroned, and helped our father review the memorials when we were in our teens. At that time, why didn't we hear the emperor say that the emperor's affairs are done by the emperor himself?"
Old Zhu glared at him and said angrily, "Let's let you two manage the government. Is this a bad thing? Look at the crown princes in the previous dynasty, which one of them is not the only one who wants to have a little strength in the court."
Zhu Yunyou smiled and said, "That was the matter of the previous dynasty, unlike our Ming Dynasty. Even if the grandson has more experience in governing the government, he is Zhu Hongwu's grandson. No matter how smart we are, we have to listen to the emperor's meaning in many things. We can't know everything, and we can't do many things well."
Lao Zhu also smiled. Some examples from the previous dynasty obviously do not need to be cared about, and it has no relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and some things from the previous dynasty will not happen in the Ming Dynasty.
"We have read the memorials. You should be more concerned about your business." Lao Zhu spoke and said, "We have no intention of being apart. It is said that the King of Hell is better, and the little ghosts are difficult to deal with. Many officials still care about their reputation, so the minor officials are not afraid of these things. These people are even more like wolves and tigers."
Zhu Yunyou nodded and said, "So let's keep an eye on it now. We will not only punish those minor officials, but also those superiors will be implicated. If we don't rule strictly, we will not plan to be careless."
Old Zhu was slightly stunned, then smiled and joked, "Everyone said that the English emperor was just a little Zhu Hongwu, so we think it's true. We think it's true when treating these people harshly."
This can be considered a fact. Lao Zhu's cruel treatment of civil and military officials was not only famous, but also a harsh ruthless person in history. Now, looking at it, Lao Zhu's grandson taught by himself also followed suit.
"We are going to hold people accountable. In fact, we also know that many officials are thinking about their own official voices. Some things are actually they intentionally indulge them and let those minor officials do something wrong." Zhu Yunyou laughed. He still knew, "Grandpa, grandson is not that easy to fool, we know in our hearts."
Lao Zhu smiled and nodded, but still reminded him, "You should do this, just don't be too harsh. Now it's not in the early years, and it shouldn't be so harsh. It's okay if we kill bloodthirsty, but we can't kill bloodthirsty even with several emperors in the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yunyou didn't comment, and his attitude made Lao Zhu a little helpless. Some of his reminders seemed to be treated as a warning by Xiao Zhu. Lao Zhu didn't care about his reputation, but he still hoped that his grandson would have a good reputation.
But now these reminders obviously do not have much effect. Xiao Zhu is obviously determined to be a harsh emperor.
"If you want to say that the taxpayer is worth a mu, we know that there is a great resistance." Zhu Yunyou sighed and said, "A lot of people have seen that once the taxpayer is worth a mu, it will not be difficult to merge the land in the future. However, the taxpayer for those people will increase, which is not as cost-effective as it is now. We also know that many people are thinking about seeing jokes."
Lao Zhu continued to smile gently and said calmly, "Look, this is not a joke."
"The people in the East Factory have all taken over the responsibilities, and it's time to do something." Zhu Yunyou said with a smile still 'like spring breeze', "We, although we were rectifying the administration again some time ago, the strength was not enough. We think that if we have something to beat those people, it would definitely not be a bad thing. This unhealthy trend will be suppressed all the time."
Lao Zhu also had the same idea, but he felt that it was normal for him to do this. But if it was his grandson, Lao Zhu was still worried that his grandson would also have some bad reputation in history books.
In fact, Lao Zhu also understood that his baby grandson's reputation was not good, and if he continued, it would definitely be worse.
Since grandson had an idea in his heart, Lao Zhu naturally felt relieved and did not need to worry so much. He was just worried about his life. Even if he didn't become an emperor, even many memorials would not appear to be sent to Lao Zhu's desk. But it would definitely be fake to say that Lao Zhu didn't care about the government at all.
"The Ministry of Works is so good at spending money. The more we think about it now, the more we want to slap ourselves." Zhu Yunying poured a glass of wine and complained to Lao Zhu, "We are so generous. We have promised many craftsmen, 8th grade, and some professors have even given them eighth grade. If we give them salary, they will always spend our money."
Old Zhu immediately became excited and urged him, "Then you can label the craftsmen as a cheap person based on our household registration."
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have all dynasties, and there are also some contempt chains. In the Yuan Dynasty, in order to equalize taxes and service, the "three-class nine-class" was divided into three levels according to assets, and each level was divided into three levels.
The Ming Dynasty also inherited this policy; in terms of population management system, it drew on the various households in the Yuan Dynasty, and divided the households into different households such as private households, craftsmen, military households, etc. according to occupations or types of employment. Once the household registration is established, it will be inherited from generation to generation and it is difficult to change.
Of course, this is also to grasp the specific number of people in the world, the household registration system, the annual household registration system, the yellow book system and the Lijia system, which can also be said to be very effective in truly controlling the people of the world.
For private households, military households, this craftsman was originally considered a vain. Although the status of craftsmanship is not a common craftsmanship, it is really hopeful.
In fact, Zhu Yunyou also knew very well that only some masters and some craftsmen from the Ministry of Works can be considered to have status and official positions.
Lao Zhu looked down on businessmen, which can be said to be jealous and contempt. However, Lao Zhu looked down on craftsmen, like many feudal old-fashioned styles, and various suppression continued.
If it weren't for Zhu Yunyou's argument in the early years, or if Zhu Yunyou only made a small pilot, Lao Zhu would have been reluctant to admit it.
Zhu Yunyou naturally knew about Lao Zhu's little thoughts. However, although he respected Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunyou did not obey some of Lao Zhu's systems, and even Zhu Yunyou has changed a lot over the years.
It is not a complete denial, or a complete subversion, not just because once Lao Zhu becomes stubborn, Zhu Yunyou has no choice.
Furthermore, Zhu Yunyou also understood that some so-called advanced systems in later generations may not be applicable in the Ming Dynasty.
The Ministry of Industry College can spend money, but Zhu Yunyou can only accept it. It has never been worry-free to do technology and research and development. Now it has indeed spent a lot of money, but Zhu Yunyou has also gained some benefits.
Even though some benefits do not seem particularly obvious, some people have not seen the hidden benefits brought. However, Zhu Yunyou is still insisting, and the Ministry of Works must persist.
Lao Zhu had no choice. He was a stubborn person. His grandson was actually very stubborn. This is in line with the same lineage. It is impossible to recognize the genes of this family.
When he remembered something, Lao Zhu asked with a little concern, "What's the matter with you let Jiujiang enter the palace? It's not that we're talking about you, it's okay to be an emperor, but you have to be careful about the military use. We can still help you keep an eye on it now, if we are gone, this good thing will be gone."
Zhu Yunyou, who was speechless in an instant, didn't know what to say. This was probably because his military talents were repeatedly denied by Lao Zhu, and he was labeled as having no military talent.
"It's still about Wuyuan." Zhu Yunyou smiled and explained, "My grandson also knows himself. We know that we will definitely not be able to lead troops, so we can only plan the overall situation."
Old Zhu was also very proud and said with a smile, "That's true. Our Ying'er can't lead the army in person, otherwise we will probably lose our troops and lose our generals. But if our grandson is at ease to be an emperor and plan the overall situation, we will definitely be able to win. We will often be unable to catch up with you."
Zhu Yunyou smiled and said to Lao Zhu, "We are asking my cousin Jiujiang to prepare. Now Goryeo is fighting. The world is peaceful for too long, so it must be a lack of military preparations. The generals of the army can only talk about military affairs on paper. The founding veteran general is now dead, and we mean that people can experience it."
Lao Zhu naturally understood what Zhu Yunyou meant, and it was naturally taboo to change generals at the last stage. However, the Ming Dynasty would not change some main generals now, so that middle and senior generals would go to the battlefield of Goryeo to experience it.
Only when you have seen blood and fought wars can you truly grow up, and only when you have guaranteed that there will always be generals in the court, and you don’t need to worry about no successors.
Lao Zhu also agreed with this approach and said, "Yes, surround Kaicheng. We should not use troops this winter, just beware of Goryeo's counterattack. Stabilizing during this period is better than anything else."
Zhu Yunyou is still very confident, because he is confident, "Grandpa Emperor, we won't take the initiative in the Ming Dynasty in winter. But if the Koreans want to counterattack, we don't mind giving them another lesson."
Lao Zhu also laughed. Lao Zhu was also very confident about the strength of the Ming Dynasty and didn't need to worry so much.
His troops and horses unified the world from south to north, which was something that had never happened in all dynasties. Even the earliest group of old soldiers were old, but over the years, there have been wars, big or small, and there were no horses left in the Ming Dynasty.
Furthermore, Lao Zhu also knew very well that the Ming Dynasty is not only capable of conquering many soldiers who are good at fighting, but also because of the Ming army, etc., it can also be said to be very fierce.
As an expert in using firearms, Lao Zhu also has to admit that his baby grandson seems to attach more importance to firearms and is more research-based.
Lao Zhu knew the functions of these good things that have been improving over the years. If he had such firearms, he would have been unifying the world. Even if his invincible army encountered the current firearms, he would have been unable to bear it.
What's more, the strength of the Ming army now is not only about the strong military equipment, but also has a lot of improvements in other aspects.
In the early years, many people in the Ming Dynasty could not survive and joined Lao Zhu's team just to avoid starving to death.
The current Ming army not only has food, but also can basically confirm that it is a good salary when you are full.
Furthermore, there are a series of logistical support such as cotton coats or coal stoves, which also gave the Ming Dynasty army more combat effectiveness. At least it was the border army in the north. Although it still had a hard time in winter, it was not considered a hard work.
In Goryeo, the Ming Dynasty army was still somewhat guaranteed, and there was no need to worry too much about the cold weather.
Goryeo people don’t need to worry about not being able to adapt to the environment, but in winter, they don’t have any absolute advantages. Compared with thick quilts and cotton coats, Goryeo people today are far inferior to those in the Ming Dynasty.
Combat strength does not mean that strong troops are enough. Various logistical support is also extremely important and must not be treated carelessly.
The overall strength of the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly stronger. Now that the Ming Dynasty is going to attack Goryeo, as long as it is to fight steadily, it is simply to use national strength to crush it. The Ming Dynasty can be said to be full of confidence.
With a strong national strength, he naturally has enough confidence. Zhu Yunyou is so confident. The strong Ming Dynasty naturally means he can be more domineering, and there is no need to worry too much about many things.
After chatting with Lao Zhu for a while, he stayed and used up the dinner, and Zhu Yunyou left happily.
The Qianqing Palace was handed over to Lao Zhu and Xiao Xiao Zhu. This is their chassis. Zhu Yunyou still has to go to his own territory to be more at ease and at ease.
