Chapter 628 Changes in dignity

Xiao Xiao Zhu seems to be in no hurry to return to the palace, which means he is a bit happy and reluctant to miss Shu. But for Zhu Yunyong, he is not so leisurely. He needs to do his own things and has his own responsibilities.

Yu Xin became the Minister of Household Affairs in the Ming Dynasty in the 26th year of Hongwu's reign, and he stayed in this position for nearly eight years.

This is definitely an amazing achievement. Not to mention two generations of emperors, it was normal for the Ming Dynasty to change ministers year after year, or there would be vacancies in the position of minister for three or four consecutive years. This is not worth making a fuss about.

Yu Xin is able to securely occupy this position not only because of his outstanding abilities, but also because both Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu recognize Yu Xin, so they basically have no intention of touching Yu Xin.

But it's different now. Since Zhu Yunyong has already expressed the intention to move Yu Xin, there will naturally be no further delay. Whether he asks Lian Zining to impeach him or Zhu Rui takes the lead in the charge, this will

There is a reason.

Lian Zining has been in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance for too long. Now that the situation in the court is stable, it is time to make a move. Furthermore, Yu Xin's cleverness has indeed made Zhu Yunyong quite unhappy. This is also a demonstration of imperial power.

Way.

In fact, this is not Zhu Yunyong preparing for the next series of big moves. After all, he is about to officially prepare to control the Yellow River. With Yu Xin's money bag, the opposition will be dealt with first, which naturally means the decision to control the Yellow River.

It can be implemented easily.

It can't be said that a single move can affect the whole body. In short, there is absolutely no harm in solving the hidden danger of Yu Xin in advance.

As for Yu Xin's credit or hard work, it can only be said that there is a lot of unfairness in this world, especially in such a feudal dynasty. Wanting the so-called fairness is often unrealistic.

Giving Yu Xin some dignity so that he would not end up in a miserable state is probably what Zhu Yunyong, the emperor, would do. If one day he really needs Zhu Yunyong to deal with the hard-working ministers, Zhu Yunyong can actually do it.

Walking towards the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunyong said directly after seeing Lao Zhu, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson is going to change the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

Lao Zhu didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "Just change it. You can make the decision on these matters yourself."

"Well, Yu Xin has done something, and we are going to save him some dignity." Zhu Yunyong smiled and said to Lao Zhu, "It's just that my grandson is interested in Wang Dui as the candidate for the new minister."

Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "This is quite a character, and we think it is suitable for your new policy."

In the 26th year of the reign of Emperor Zhizheng of the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Dun passed the Jinshi examination and was awarded the title of county magistrate of the Yi family. In the tenth year of Hongwu, he responded to the imperial edict and went to Yingtian Mansion, where he served as the head of the Department of Hosts and Guests of the Ministry of Rites. He then moved to Fujian to participate in politics. During this period, he visited Luchuan and Burma to express condolences.

When Silun rebelled, he went to appease the envoy.

During the ten years when he was promoted to Zhejiang Zuobu Chief Envoy, he built water conservancy, ran education, reduced corvee service, punished rape and eradicated evil, selected talents and appointed them, and gained considerable political reputation.

Zhu Yunyong had previously requested that the six ministers should have the experience of being officials close to the people, because he was worried that these important ministers only knew how to write and write. There was no shortage of such officials in the Ming Dynasty in history. They just stayed in the Hanlin Academy and then were promoted in an orderly manner. Their

Some political concepts and policy policies are indeed somewhat ungrounded.

"This old man is over seventy, and he is not too young." Zhu Yunyong smiled and said, "This man is capable and cautious as an official. He can just do something for us. In two years, we will have

With the new Minister of Household Affairs, he can retire and return to his hometown."

When Lao Zhu heard what Zhu Yunyong said, he couldn't help but be happy, "Then you have to hold on tighter. We remember that Xia Yuanji doesn't have a people-friendly official yet, so you have to give him a little help. Otherwise, Wang Dun will die.

, you will have a headache."

Zhu Yunyong is more optimistic about Xia Yuanji, and Lao Zhu naturally knows that. In fact, Lao Zhu is also more optimistic about Xia Yuanji. In the final analysis, Xia Yuanji is capable and has great potential, and deserves to be properly cultivated.

This can be regarded as Zhu Yunyong's "self-confidence". Xia Yuanji is still doing bank work. This matter is indeed of Zhu Yunyong's concern. He must ensure that the bank's policy is stable and needs to be fully implemented by the bank.

However, this also means that it is a little difficult for Xia Yuanji to be a people-friendly official. He is still a capital official. All this means that Zhu Yunyong has blocked Xia Yuanji's promotion channel. At this time, he must also consider transferring Xia Yuanji to the capital.

Good luck.

Lao Zhu was silent for a moment and said, "Mao Tai, although this person doesn't know economics, he is cautious and diligent. Xia Yuanji has set up the framework of the bank for you. Mao Tai can just go and do things. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand economics, Xiao

Just follow the rules, as long as you don't run over and make random decisions, those people can't use it."

Zhu Yunyong thought for a while and then said, "This is a good thing. Mao Tai's grade and character are both acceptable. Just go and take over the bank. Now that the bank's charter is out, just implement it step by step."

Lao Zhu nodded slightly and explained to Zhu Yunyong, "Then Xia Yuanji is a good minister. We just thought that since he is not in charge of the government, it would be hard to give him a border official immediately."

Zhu Yunyong recognized this and said, "We don't intend to give him a chief envoy directly. He doesn't have the ability to take charge of the administration of a province."

The second-grade chief envoy is indeed a feudal official and requires relatively comprehensive abilities. In some of Zhu Yunyong's plans, talents like Xia Yuanji still need to be 'directedly trained', and they will become ministers of the Ministry of Revenue in the future.

.

Zhu Yunyong didn’t think there was anything wrong with discussing these things with Lao Zhu, and Zhu Yunyong didn’t think there was anything to hide from Lao Zhu. Zhu Yunyong knew very well that if Lao Zhu was in love with power, he would not have abdicated in the first place. In the longer term,

The boss should be careful and not put so much effort into cultivating Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu.

When Lao Zhu was in power, Zhu Yunyong often had the right to speak and make suggestions on the affairs of civil and military officials. Now that Xiao Zhu has become the emperor, he will of course respect some of Lao Zhu's suggestions. Zhu Yunyong still believes in some of Lao Zhu's suggestions.

vision.

Zhu Yunyong and Lao Zhu were chatting and enjoying their dinner. As for the little little Zhu who was playing crazy, there is no need to worry. That little thing can't be hungry. It eats well and drinks well.

Just when it got dark, Zhu Yunyong and Lao Zhu saw lanterns lit outside the palace, so there was no need to think too much.

"Dad, let's send Ruyi'er back." Xiao Zhu said with a smile, "We saw a lot of people outside today and bought a lot of stuff with Ruyi'er, but we don't have any money in our pockets."

Zhu Yunyong couldn't help but feel a headache and felt very depressed, "You have a lot of monthly salary, so it's not easy to leave the palace. You have spent so much money, this is also a skill!"

Xiao Xiaozhu said matter-of-factly, "We have to spend money ourselves, and we also need to buy some stuff for our younger brothers and sisters! We have to take care of our aunt and uncle, who have not left the palace and opened a mansion. That's all.

There is not enough money, we may run out of money at any time, and there are many people in our family."

This reason seems to be very convincing. At least Lao Zhu was very happy when he heard this, "If you don't have any silver beans, just tell me that we still have a lot of banknotes in our hands. We are not as stingy as your father, he is like

When you were this old, you had so much money to spend, now you are not allowed to spend the whole day."

"Can it be the same?" Zhu Yunyong was unconvinced and said, "When we were as old as him, we all thought about setting up a sea ban and becoming a navy master. When he went out, he only thought about eating and drinking. But speaking of it, the emperor

Grandpa should also give us the Tiger Talisman. When can we get our Shadow Guard?"

Lao Zhu was happy and said bluntly, "When we die, the Shadow Guards will naturally belong to you. Even if there is no will from us, they will still belong to you. These people are worth using and they are loyal to us. If something happens, I guess

These are the only people who can protect us to the death."

Zhu Yunyong couldn't help but think wildly. The whereabouts of Zhu Yunwen in history was unknown. Although he most likely died in the fire in the imperial city, there were also many stories spread.

Maybe this is because of the sub-power left by Lao Zhu. Maybe it is the shadow guard who disappeared while protecting Zhu Yunwen and his prince Zhu Wenkui.

Xiao Xiao Zhu was very happy and showed off what he had learned, "Dad, we saw a lot of martial arts disciples today, all showing off their skills. We are just waiting for them to ride wildly in Beijing, so that we can scold them."

Regarding Xiao Zhu's childishness, Zhu Yunyong joked, "If you really want to scold them, just go ahead and scold them."

Little Zhu rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "After all, we are also martial arts disciples. We can't punish others without reason. I am just unhappy, and the people below don't know what to think. We know how to reward merit and punish fault, so we can't

It all depends on your mind.”

Zhu Yunyong was naturally quite satisfied with Xiao Zhu's answer. Old Zhu was even more delighted, thinking that his precious great-grandson looked like a benevolent king. He would definitely be an excellent prince in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would definitely not lack it.

Good emperor.

Little Zhu naturally leaned into Lao Zhu's arms, grabbing the peanuts and chewing them, "Great-grandfather, we took a look today, and there are many people outside who use banknotes. We looked at them for a long time, and although there are also copper coins, the big ones are now

Not many of them use copper coins."

Of course, there is still a lot of currency in the Ming Dynasty. Copper coins must be circulated, and many small items need to be used. "Paper currency" such as banknotes has been promoted by Zhu Yunyong, and people are becoming more and more concerned about banknotes.

Becoming more and more recognized.

As for gold, there is actually not much circulation in the market, while silver is relatively more circulated.

Zhu Yunyong is also happy to see this situation. He thinks this is actually quite good and must be done.

There was a shortage of copper in the Ming Dynasty, so copper coins were naturally minted as little as possible. Silver notes and silver can now be circulated more. But some of the advantages of copper coins are their "low face value", and the people do recognize copper coins very much.

Zhu Yunyong is a little proud. It seems that there is nothing to worry about in terms of the currency security of the Ming Dynasty for the time being.

With the continuous issuance of banknotes, with the endorsement of the imperial court and the promotion of banks and other institutions, the people's acceptance of Ming Dynasty banknotes is getting higher and higher. Especially Wu Xun and wealthy businessmen know more about the benefits of these banknotes. .

As for silver, needless to say, the silver from Japan is worth millions every year. The massive influx of silver into the Ming Dynasty can indeed make the currency of the Ming Dynasty safer. Although these things cannot be eaten or worn in years of famine. , but their existence can indeed bring a lot of security.

A multi-pronged approach is the best for the Ming Dynasty. This is why Zhu Yunyong now has enough confidence to govern Huanghuai. He knows that he now has more and more resources.

This is not Zhu Yunyong's blind confidence, it is simply that Zhu Yunyong knows his own strength and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. He can do as many things as he has the ability. Zhu Yunyong knows that the Ming Dynasty can continue to carry out some major projects at this time.

Xiao Xiaozhu returned to Qianqing Palace, which naturally means that whether Zhu Yunyong stays here does not seem to have much meaning. Whether it is a grandson or a great-grandson, as long as there is one by his side, it will be fine. The requirements don't seem particularly high.

Zhu Yunyong is in a good mood. Now he can leisurely return to the East Palace. That is his territory, and he will feel more at ease. In the end, it is his own territory, and of course it is up to him to make the decision.

There are still preparations for the morning court, and some preparations for the next things. Zhu Yunyong naturally needs to recharge his batteries. There are not many swords and swords in the court, but many times it is not so relaxed.

Furthermore, Zhu Yunyong also knows very well that even if he seems to have great power, many things cannot actually be too willful. At least some superficial things still need to be done.

If you want to replace Yu Xin, you still need to pay a little attention to the impact and the procedures. Zhu Yunyong does not want to break some of the rules that have been established with great difficulty so simply and crudely.

After all, it is easy to break. It may take several years or more than ten years to formulate the rules, but breaking some rules can happen overnight. Even the impact of breaking may last for a long time. This threat is not small.

For Zhu Yunyong, of course, he needs to pay more attention to these things, especially the emperor needs to pay attention to these effects.

After teasing his little son for a while, Zhu Yunyong went to bed. If he had to do well, he would encounter a more interesting and challenging morning session. Perhaps this was also a storm in the eyes of many people.

The minister is about to change again. It seems that after Zhu Yunyong ascends the throne, the officials will seem to be a lot more "safe". However, many times, these officials who are high in the temple are also prone to encounter many crises.

The changes in the six ministerial books of the Ming Dynasty still seem to be very frequent!
