Wang Zhonghou was confused again. How could an emperor say that he was a foolish emperor?
An emperor who can say this is himself a wise emperor.
But he didn't dare to say anything more.
"Take good care of that Li Mingzhou, I want to see him when I'm free!"
"Yes, I have already told Cao Wang."
Zhu Youde threw fishing bait into the lake, and the koi fish all over the lake were vying for food, which was a majestic sight.
Looking back at Wang Zhonghou, he asked, "How is Tang Huo doing lately?"
Wang Zhonghou smiled and said: "Master Tang, I heard that I stayed at Master He's house. Your Majesty did not agree to allocate money and food to Shang Fang Mansion, so Master Tang pestered He Qingfeng and turned into a rogue."
Zhu Youde was stunned and laughed: "No wonder the court didn't see him today."
But then Zhu Youde said angrily: "This person is simply brainless. I have already ordered him, why can't he think of a way to make money?"
Tang Huo had a sharp weapon in hand. He only needed to sell the patent for the flying shuttle loom. There were many textile tycoons in Jiangnan who were willing to pay for it.
Zhu Youde wants to see that this is the case. Only when Shang Fangfu's technology is turned into productive forces can Daliang's per capita income be greatly increased.
GDP!
When I read the news in my previous life, I always heard those high-ranking officials report how much GDP had increased. Zhu Youde had no idea at all.
But after becoming the emperor, I realized how important GDP is to a country.
Looking only at the capital of Jinling, ordinary people's monthly income is less than one tael of silver.
One tael of silver in Daliang can be exchanged for one thousand copper coins, which is equivalent to normal, but in fact the people's income is only four to five hundred copper coins, which is still good.
It is generally worse than just barely having enough food and clothing.
Once one hundred and twenty kilograms of rice is required, it costs six hundred cents. Five cents per pound of rice and a large beam are twelve taels.
But converted into modern income, rice costs one yuan per catty and rice costs five yuan per catty. The average income per capita in Daliang is 400 yuan, which is a monthly salary of 80 yuan!
Zhu Youde is in trouble!
Therefore, Zhu Youde wants to increase per capita income. As for the development of industry leading to insufficient agricultural population, there is no need to worry!
Daliang's territory occupies the south of the Yangtze River, which is a major grain-producing area. The domestic grain supply is extremely abundant. It is because there is too much grain produced that the grain price is low.
Zhu Youde has high hopes for Shuttle Textile.
He wanted to reform the country's industry, but he couldn't do anything haphazardly. He could only boil the frog in warm water.
In fact, if you want to solve it once and for all, you need to reform the land system. But once the land is touched, those ministers can rebel without anyone else!
"Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs come forward to purchase hundreds of shuttles and open a royal textile factory in Huating and Mingzhou!"
Huating was the later Magic City, and Mingzhou was the ancient name of Ningbo.
Zhu Youde still wanted to open a port, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it because he was afraid that the officials would not adapt if the move was too big.
Wang Zhonghou quickly accepted the order, "Your Majesty, do you want to send a guard eunuch?"
Zhu Youde looked back at Wang Zhonghou with trepidation in his eyes. Wang Zhonghou suddenly felt trembling in his heart!
"No one is allowed to be sent. From now on, the eunuchs in the palace will work in the palace. They will recruit business talents from the private sector and manage them professionally. The official positions I have assigned to the eighth rank of the Royal Textile Factory will be managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
This is equivalent to an imperial merchant who specializes in servicing the royal family.
It's just that Zhu Youde was more generous and gave him an official position, which provided an additional way out for those intellectuals who had no hope of taking the imperial examination and could only find their own way out.
Since Tang Huo is so stupid and can't do things, Zhu Youde can only do it by himself.
If Tang Huo still can't learn, he will be responsible for technology research and development in the future, and he will have to set up a manager for Shang Fang Mansion!
Lu Shengzhi is good!
Zhu Youde knew something in his mind: "If Lu Shengzhi is summoned to the palace, he will have to help me. He can't always stay in the academy and live his life as a fairy. I have to take the initiative to be a coward for the sake of the country. He shouldn't be a treacherous minister? How can he be so cheap?
matter!"
Wang Zhonghou smiled.
Lu Shengzhi's life is really good now. He spends all day teaching and educating people in the academy, enjoying himself. Whatever comes to mind, he writes to Zhu Youde and asks him to execute it.
This makes Zhu Youde himself look like a tool man.
After arranging these things, Zhu Youde returned to the harem. He originally wanted to go to Luo Xian to continue discussing posture issues!
But when I think about my recent interactions with the Queen, I haven’t been to Liu Yunxi and Liu Yuexi’s side very often, and I haven’t been to Zheng Ling’er or Tang Qingyu either!
A little uneasy!
The harem won’t be dissatisfied!
Zhu Youde thought about it and decided to go find the Liu family twins, but he didn't expect that all the concubines in the harem were there!
Queen Luo Xian brought a group of people to greet Zhu Youde, and then she stood up after shouting "Long Live the Mountain".
"Why are you all here?" Zhu Youde laughed, with an embarrassed expression as if he had been caught and raped.
Of course he came to the Liu sisters because he wanted to have one dragon and two phoenixes.
The harem is already there, so what the heck is this?
Luo Xian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, my sisters and I are chatting!"
"What are you talking about? I'll listen too!" The shameless Zhu Youde immediately sat down and joined a group of women.
In fact, Luo Xian has been tortured too much by Zhu Youde recently. Thinking that she will go to court soon, Zhu Youde may ask her to learn new postures.
He deliberately hid here with the Liu sisters.
It happened that the Liu sisters, Tang Qingyu and Zheng Ling'er were playing mahjong.
Mahjong was naturally invented by Zhu Youde. In fact, Daliang also had one originally, called leaf cards. Zhu Youde was afraid that the concubines in the harem would have nothing to do, so he improved it and introduced mahjong!
The four concubines were playing and talking about some popular things!
What is the hottest gossip in the market recently? Naturally, the emperor shamelessly fell in love with the fifteen-year-old girl of He Qingfeng's family.
He Qingfeng shamelessly plans to send his sister Mei to him.
Listening to Luo Xian's explanation, Zhu Youde's face twitched.
When did I fall in love with someone else’s girl?
She is still a fifteen-year-old girl, what a beast!
But in a blink of an eye, Zhu Youde remembered what Feng Bogong said about Emperor Yang's robbery of his wife.
How to be a qualified Hunjun!
Let’s start by robbing the minister’s wife!
"The little girl from the He family is beautiful?" Zhu Youde asked.
Suddenly the girls looked towards Zhu Youde, and Luo Xian even said: "What does your Majesty want?"
"Haha, just asking!" Zhu Youde laughed awkwardly, but seeing that no one believed it, Zhu Youde waved his hands quickly: "I really just wanted to ask, after all, I am the protagonist of this scandal, but I don't know anything, so I was
The common people call him a foolish king!"
Luo Xian and the other girls looked a little better.
In fact, Zhu Youde is the emperor, so they have no choice but to decide who he really likes.
It was only because of Zhu Youde's love for them that they dared to show Zhu Youde's face.
Luo Xian said: "I heard that the little sister of the He family has a beautiful country, is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a famous talented girl in the south of the Yangtze River. She is pursued by many princes and princes. She is a great talent in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Tang Wenqing is also an admirer of little sister He.
!”
Tang Qingyu quickly said: "Tang Wenqing, are you Tang Boyong who wrote that the spring flowers are silent and the birds are singing? He also wrote that the spring river flows by itself, the solitary red shadow is far away, and the clouds follow the thoughts and have no limit."
After a while, all the women except Luo Xian spoke one after another, and they could all say a poem or two.
Zhu Youde suddenly felt disgusted, and when he looked at the girls, he felt like he was about to move.
