Just a few days after the Longevity Festival, Nuanyu was activated. Due to Yunjin's careful care, the fetus was well nourished, and the delivery naturally went smoothly. Po Wen came out to congratulate her shortly after entering.
Zhu Biao finally welcomed his first daughter, and rewarded the palace servants who served here. The queen rewarded her with a gold lock collar, and the emperor also rewarded his granddaughter with a jade handle.
With the cooperation of Wang Rui, the situation has improved a lot, but occasionally there are still symptoms of metrorrhagia. The child will vomit every now and then and can't take in milk. His small body is still very thin, but in the end, both mother and child are alive.
Come down.
In this way, the atmosphere in the palace finally improved, and so did the court, but the capital became more and more lively. The surrender of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Liaodong made many people feel at ease and gradually get rid of the shadow of troubled times.
Prohibitions on alcohol, coal and mining were gradually relaxed, and coupled with changes in imperial decrees, merchants became increasingly active, and rural markets and grass markets increased in number.
Leaving aside the north, according to reports, the period of regular markets in southern villages and towns has been shortened, and professional markets such as grain markets, silk markets, pig markets, and medicine markets have appeared in many prefectures and prefectures.
At first, the household department was a little uncomfortable, but there was no shortage of capable people. Zhao Wenjing, the secretary of the household department, was very far-sighted. The whole team quickly adapted and proactively started contacting organizations and adding business taxes.
The rise of the Ministry of Household Affairs made many people greedy and wanted to get in, but Zhu Biao pushed them back, and even eliminated many officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
I can't bear it now. Are you going to go crazy when the sea trade opens?
Therefore, we must start to guard against the slightest possibility now. When the prince is determined to do something, there is nothing anyone can do. The most they can do is go to the Holy Lord and make a few roundabout remarks.
The couple briefly greeted each other, and Zhu Biao asked with a smile: "Is it because of Kang Duo that the Queen Mother came here? Did the Duke of Qi go to you to plead for mercy?"
At this time, the eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen is waiting for you outside the palace."
Taxes were reduced, traders were introduced, schools were built, craftsmen were gradually liberated, handicraft manufacturing, porcelain manufacturing and other businesses were stimulated to develop rapidly, and business gangs were encouraged to form caravans across state capitals and even to trade with Southeast Asian countries.
The father and son looked at each other and knew in their hearts that it must be because of this matter. If it was a family matter or sending some food, Queen Ma came straight in. No one dared to stop her.
There were only two chairs in Jinshen Hall. Zhu Biaoxu helped his mother to sit down in his seat. Liu Jin took away the old teacup and served new tea, and then stood to one side with the female officer and bowed his head to serve.
"Besides, I watched Kang Duo grow up. He is a few years younger than Biao'er. Xi Jue is just a child. Is there something hidden in this?"
"It is not appropriate to release or not to release, but it is true that we cannot continue to be locked up without any name or status." Zhu Biao's hand while flipping through the memorial suddenly stopped: "Father, it is too coincidental that I want to come to Kangduo now.
Well, not long after the Duke of Qi died of illness, a young Kang Duo ascended the throne, and he happened to be an old man who had accompanied his son to study."
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and said: "Several ministers also followed suit, presumably for the sake of my son. After all, when Kang Duo was a child, he accompanied his son to study for two years."
But profit was so important that people flocked to it, not only officials but also nobles. Some ordinary officials even tried to tell the court in order to seek justice, but when faced with the founding military honors, most businessmen gave in to profit.
At this time, a merchant offered money, so how could he refuse?
Liu Jin couldn't stand anymore and could only kneel down. Empress Ma couldn't bear to see this and hurriedly said: "Kang Maocai died of illness. She is living alone with her son. How can I bear to drive her out of the palace when she begs in front of me? No matter what, it's okay."
An old friend who used to mend your military uniforms together."
These are all decent officials, so there is no need to elaborate on their undignified consequences.
In this way, the mountain ladder is sailing, Xian Fengchen pays tribute, the square track is completed, and the capital is magnificent, decorated with Chongli, the hoofs of the wheels intersect, the silk pipes are noisy, and the ladies of the year fill the Guo Yiyun, and its grand atmosphere is celebrated.
Beyond the present and the past.
But it’s normal to have a weak heart. No matter how much wealth you have, you can’t bear to sit back and have nothing. Especially after you don’t go to the battlefield, you have many concubines and give birth to many children. In the future, your son will start a family and start a business, and your daughter will buy a dowry. This is all for the family.
The dignity should not be shabby.
Some of the princes and nobles knew how to behave, while others were just greedy for profit. With their accumulation during the previous wars and the rewards they received when the country was founded, they already had a considerable family fortune and could be considered to have strong assets.
"There are really too many reasons to show mercy outside the law, but this is the critical moment to scare the monkeys. It is easy to show mercy and pardon Kang Duo, but it will be difficult for the nobles and old friends who follow him not to be biased."
By the sixth year of Hongwu, there were thirty-seven markets in the capital, nearly half of which were mainly market trade, and shop trade was also very prosperous. There were so many people coming and going that they were sweating like rain, shoulder to shoulder.
.
It's a pity that father and son are of the same mind, and Lao Zhuquan pretended not to understand what they were talking about. Anyone who dared to speak out would be scolded and then kicked out in despair.
…………
Wherever there is prosperity, there will always be secrets and secrets. At that time, Yushitai impeached many officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs. He took increasing the number of classes as his ability, taking strictness as his style, planning to the bone, not sparing the baht, and acting cleverly beyond the ordinary rules.
Establish your name and form, and punish you arbitrarily!
The emperor sternly rebuked the Minister of Household Affairs and ordered the prince to lead the Dali Temple in Yushitai to conduct a strict investigation. In less than a month, hundreds of heads fell and thousands of people were exiled to Liaodong in order to correct the officials.
Looking up from the top of the restaurant, one can see the bustling crowds.
Emperor Zhu looked stunned. Just now, Hu Weiyong, leading the six ministers and several military officials, suddenly began to plead for Kang Duo, the Marquis of Qichun, who had been dismissed from his post due to merchant affairs and was investigated and imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment.
"Hmph, this Hu Weiyong has been very attentive recently, and he has done all the good things."
At that time, Nanxiong merchants came to Beijing to sell goods. When they arrived at Changhuaiguan, they were detained by officials to collect taxes and stayed for several months without letting them go. The merchants had no choice but to sue the officials. After hearing this, Zhu Biao ordered the officials to be punished and dismissed.
The merchants were punished with their salaries.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and said: "Go and ask your mother to come in."
Zhu Biao stood up and straightened his sleeves in response, walked out of the palace door, saluted his mother and said hello, and then invited him into the palace. He then waved the palace people to leave, leaving only Liu Jin and Queen Ma's female officer in charge.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he frowned and scolded the female officer over there: "Anyone can act arrogantly in the Queen's Palace. What do you people do for food!"
But most businessmen are clever. Some businessmen not only did not avoid it, but even took the initiative to come to the door with thousands of gold and net worth, just asking for a sign, a sign that could run rampant in the state without being exploited and oppressed by the officials.
"Is it because we thought that he went to school with you and was young that we didn't deprive him of his title? He almost died and was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishments for a few days?"
The female officer hurriedly bowed down and said, "I will die for you!"
Empress Ma sighed: "I'm still crying in Kunning Palace, waiting for Xin'er. I didn't want to come at first, but I couldn't help her, so I just said I would give it a try."
Use the money and food obtained to build official roads and canals, and order local guards to send troops to exterminate mountain bandits and water bandits. They also set up civilian posts on important transportation routes and deserted areas to ensure the circulation of goods and improve the transportation system of the Ming Dynasty's capitals.
Lao Zhu closed his eyes irritably. The difficulty lies here. If the person in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment is Kang Maocai, the Duke of Qi, it will be easy to say. The great thing is like Tang He. He can be sentenced to death with a stick or any other punishment. At least he must be there first.
The role of killing chickens to scare monkeys is.
If he was set up by someone, he could just find an opportunity to be promoted back in the future. If he was really greedy for profit and lax in restraining himself, then that was exactly the punishment he deserved. Whether he used it or not could be done in a matter of seconds.
But it was Kang Duo, and so many military honors were watching. A teenage boy who had already been demoted from Duke to Marquis would be devastated if he was deposed again within two days.
, it would not sound good if it was spread out. People in the world would only say that the Tian family is cold and miserable, but they would not care about other things.
Now that the military power has not yet been gained, honors and nobles are still the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. If they are all in danger and worry that the foundation they have worked hard to build will not be passed down after their death, then they will go crazy.
