I saw that the dragon table in the Yangxin Hall was filled with densely packed memorials, like a hill.
Zhu Youde took a breath of cold air. Did the ministers write the notes all night and hand them over? You must be too anxious! Have you all been stifled before?
If the ministers knew what he was thinking, they would definitely complain in their hearts - you, the old man, are enjoying yourself in Chunfeng Tower, while we are writing so fast that our hands are broken, who is holding it back!
"What a sin!"
Zhu Youde cursed and had to sit in front of the dragon chair to open the memorial, but there were hundreds of memorials on the few small slips behind the dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, the dragon case is a document written by the minister of the court overnight, and the document is a private proposal sent by Feng Shangshu in the morning." The little eunuch explained on the side, he was trembling all over for fear that Zhu Youde would be unhappy and cut him off.
The emperor, who never liked reading excerpts, looked at the pile of suggestions and shook his head with a wry smile, burying the hole he dug himself!
He casually picked up a brochure written by the minister, and after a moment his eyes shone with joy.
“This is a great idea!”
"Get the pen!"
Zhu Youde wrote a positive reply, but he frowned slightly and felt something was wrong. Such detailed suggestions could not be come up in one night.
In other words, this mature idea is the result of long-term thinking and polishing. With such a good deal, why not hand it over earlier?
He opened a few more memorials, and the situation was roughly the same. Each minister could find flaws in the areas he was responsible for and suggested ways to improve them.
And they are all very mature methods. The flaws were discovered early, and they were constantly refined and improved in their minds. They were written down as soon as possible after the decree was issued yesterday.
No wonder there are so many discounts today...
Zhu Youde gave a wry smile and fell into deep thought, and suddenly understood why the prosperous age recorded in the history books could rise - the wise monarch encouraged the ministers to give advice, and only by listening to the suggestions of different people could he know what was right or wrong.
In addition, cultural prosperity and ideological emancipation also play a vital role.
He secretly wrote down these points, worked hard and quickly browsed through the excerpts. Good suggestions and mature ideas were directly reviewed, and defective ones were returned with words of encouragement.
The young eunuch refused to eat the breakfast he brought him, and worked overtime to read the memorials. Nearly two hundred memorials from ministers and hundreds of suggestions from the common people were all approved.
Zhu Youde felt very happy. If the ministers could come up with ways to improve every day, Daliang could rise rapidly in a short period of time.
I'm glad I made the decision to open up to the public.
In the end, four memorials were selected that needed to be discussed. Two were from ministers and two were from the private sector.
Feng Bogong proposed to rebuild the road.
Tang Huo proposed strengthening agricultural development and upgrading military weapons.
Two suggestions from the public are to reduce taxes and narrow the gap between rich and poor.
"Wang Banban! Go to court!"
In Fengtian Hall, all the ministers had dark circles under their eyes and were in poor spirits.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Youde spoke some inspiring words to cheer up the officials.
"Everyone, this memorial was written by Mr. Feng, Minister of Industry, and suggests repairing Daliang roads. What do you think, Ai Qing?"
When they heard about the improvement of transportation, many ministers were happy and came out one after another: "Your Majesty, I agree with Mr. Feng's proposal. The domestic roads in Daliang should indeed be repaired. I have to lose my skin every year when I go back to my hometown to visit relatives..."
"Your Majesty, the official road of Jiannan Road is dilapidated and the transportation of grain and grass is difficult. If it encounters the rainy season, it will be completely blocked."
"His Majesty……"
Dozens of ministers openly complained about the bad roads in the court. After Zhu Youde praised Feng Bogong for his excellence, he immediately asked, "Has Feng Shangshu thought of a way to deal with it?"
"The Ministry of Household Affairs can allocate funds to recruit craftsmen to renovate, carry out repairs on the original basis, and conduct regular inspections and repairs..."
Feng Bogong proposed countermeasures.
Zhu Youde nodded and shook his head, lost in thought. If he just repaired and inspected regularly to make up for the rest, it would only solve the current problem but not completely change it. The road repaired over time would still be worn out.
The brain is spinning rapidly, thinking of good strategies.
"It would be better to re-plan the roads across the country and divide them into royal roads, official roads, business roads, fair roads, etc., and the chiefs of the places where the roads are located will be responsible for supervision and strengthen management."
"Roads of several specifications, such as royal roads, official roads, business roads, and fair roads, use different repair materials."
"Royal roads and official roads are mainly used to transmit information and must ensure timeliness;"
"Trade roads are mainly used for trade. They carry a lot of goods and travel slowly. Bluestone should be used to build the foundation, supplemented by oil to ensure durability, and inns should be set up around it;"
"The road is reasonably used for public transportation. The flow of people is large and it should be spacious to prevent congestion..."
As soon as these words came out, the ministers fell into silence, and finally burst into deafening cheers of approval.
"Your Majesty, this method is wonderful! It deserves to be promoted!" Feng Bogong saluted respectfully, admiring him from the bottom of his heart.
Zhu Youde asked him to be the governor to supervise the production and took out Tang Huo's book.
Tang Huo proposed the development of agriculture, and at the same time brought new manufactured sowing tools and curved shaft plows.
The ministers did not think favorably of sowing tools and plows.
"Your Majesty, these are the test data of two new farm tools, please check them."
Wang Zhonghou handed over the brochure. Although Zhu Youde could not understand the complex agricultural data, he could understand the final summary and comparison.
The new sowing tool is three times more efficient, while the curved plow saves one laborer and half the time under the same circumstances.
If the two agricultural tools are used together, people will get great convenience in farming.
Soon General Wang Po led his army northward, and most of the strong labor force in Daliang went to the front line as soldiers or logistical supplies.
The upgrade of agricultural tools can ensure that farming will not be affected.
Tang Huo's suggestion was unanimously approved by the ministers, but Zhu Youde's idea went beyond that. Just updating the sowing tools and plows had such a miraculous effect. If other farm tools were also improved...
"Master Tang, when recruiting craftsmen, you should also look for people who are good at invention. Anyone who creates or improves various tools will also be knighted!"
"As for the upgrade of military weapons, we will discuss it after I think about it."
Then he came up with the people's suggestions, but the officials lost their energy. What good suggestions could the people have? Some even started to yawn.
Zhu Youdequan pretended not to see it, let him go for the time being, and then announced that the people who made the suggestion would come to see him.
After deciding to adopt these two discounts, he asked Feng Yuyue to invite the two of them.
Enter the palace, meet the saint, and be knighted!
They are the first among the common people to eat crabs.
"Xiong Xin, a common man, and Lu Shengzhi, a common man, meet Your Majesty..."
Xiong Xin, dressed in clean plain clothes, was the man who last night proposed reducing taxes on people who had been damaged in the capital's business district.
He told the reasons in detail, and many ministers who looked down upon him looked surprised. Although this plan was not as good as Tang Huo and Feng Bogong's strategy, it was more realistic than what many ministers said.
"That's right!" Zhu Youde waved his hand: "The Ministry of Household Affairs will be responsible for this matter!"
His eyes fell on Xiong Xin, then looked at Feng Yuyue, and shouted loudly: "The officials obey the order and are granted the title of ninth-level marquis! Post a public notice to announce to the world to show encouragement!"
Feng Yuyue accepted the order, and Xiong Xin was very excited.
Another person, Lu Shengzhi, began to talk about his suggestions. After a few words, Zhu Youde and the ministers were shocked...
