Zhu Gaochi was said to be a loser, but His Highness the Crown Prince was quite tolerant, and he and Xu Jingchang were not angry either, so they just watched from the side.
But gradually, Zhu Gaochi discovered something was wrong. He was obviously Xu Jingchang's cousin. How come this boy and the Huang family were together, but they seemed to be part of the same family?
What the hell is this?
And looking at this, Xu Jingchang suddenly realized... Isn't this kid too slow?
Zhu Gaochi's eyes were wandering around, and he was about to speak, but Huang Guan saw his eyes and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I have been forgiven by your majesty's grace and promoted to Minister of Rites. But among all the ministers in Jianwen, I don't know if I can do anything."
Can Tian En give everyone a way to survive?"
Facing the question, Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment.
From the bottom of his heart, he was naturally willing to pardon the Jianwen ministers and turn the page on the Jingnan Campaign as soon as possible, but he was also afraid that it would cause his father's displeasure, so Zhu Gaochi froze.
"This matter, my father has to make the decision on this matter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jingchang stuffed sweet dates into the rice dumplings and said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty is willing to promote Huang Liushou, it means that Your Majesty intends to promote Jianwen's old ministers... The key now is not His Majesty's will, but the Jianwen Dukes."
What do you think about this?"
As long as he sells something, it will fall into the hands of the person who paid for it.
Xu Jingchang was completely broken, "Brother Xian, he has tricked Zhu Gaochi again!"
Xu Jingchang was stunned, "He, what is he doing?"
Such a low-level comment was really refreshing to Mr. Weng. I could not help but lean back and asked curiously: "What do you mean by Duke Dingguo?"
Who is in power locally?
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Anyone can do it. Anyway, that's not what I meant. His hands and eyes are all over the sky... But if he doesn't find a wife, it really makes people laugh! Hahaha!"
"You should listen to this, how is he going to spend the money?" Xu Jingchang laughed angrily.
Huang Guan reluctantly agreed and went up with the two men.
"You said Huang Bashou, what does he think of Zhu Gaochi?"
"Don't make it complicated! Only by not counting those things can you reasonably evaluate how many fields you can't plant every year to plant mulberry trees and cotton. Will there be no shortage of food? Will it be transported domestically or purchased from the sea... Your Majesty, will he be able to
Do you think it’s enough to go to the West to trade and just sell silk there to make money? Yes, do you think it’s so easy to make money?”
At that time, eight people from the Huang family, mother and son, came down with steaming rice dumplings. When they went there, Zhu Yunwen was teased. When you came back, only Zhu Yunwen was left with a small appetite. Wang Shuangjing and Wang Shuang all had their heads high in thought, ruthlessly.
I was shocked!
At that time, Huang Guan suddenly laughed, "Listen to Duke Ding, does he know everything?"
As for the founding heroes, those people themselves have not withered away or are in short supply, so it is necessary to kill them all. On the contrary, we cannot promote some people to solve the sequelae of the killing of heroes during the Hongwu period.
Weng thought for a long time and then said: "Dingguo Gong, what he said is correct, but those people are still doing hard labor everywhere. Even if they don't mean it, I'm afraid they know it! He thinks that's okay. As the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching,
Could you please bring us some rice dumplings and check our taste?"
Waiting for Zhu Yunwen's reply, Xu Jingchang shouted: "Do you remember that later, Jian Tianguan's son asked his cousin that your father said he knew everything? My cousin immediately shook his head, it was nothing. According to what you said,
You know, his biological father is the Heavenly Official."
While speaking, several people's eyes fell on Zhu Yunwen, but that person still shook his head, patted his chest and assured, "Worry, rabbits eat grass from the side of the nest, you will harm your neighbors and distant relatives.
Are they like close neighbors?"
Zhu Yunwen smiled and nodded, "That's right. You haven't calculated it wrong yet. Zhu Gaochi has a budget of less than 700,000 taels and less than 8,000 officials. The annual budget will exceed 2 million..."
"The mistake lies in how to evaluate the authority of a yamen... Now there are only two people, Zhu Gaochi and Lao Bald... The monk is still sick all day long, and you are the only one left. How can you not have a small amount of power? If you don't want the yamen to lose face, you have to lose it."
With enough officials and a sufficient budget, a small government office will be more prestigious than a large government office. Those with a small budget will have less standing than those with a large budget."
I just try my best to lead in that direction, but Zhu Yunwen always takes the wrong path, which is really worrying.
"Who said you could find her? Then you will send out the Jin Yiwei to see whose girl is pretty, and then you will come down and propose marriage."
Those words were like a knife, stabbing into Mr. Weng's heart. I seemed to understand something... The Jianwen New Deal, which we had high hopes for back then, now seems like a joke.
If Ida's approach works, it will still be difficult to find ways to increase finances and taxes and rectify the administration.
Xu Jingchang hummed: "Bad guy, in order to help him mediate, my mother invited so few people to leave the palace. He has to look at each of them. He must be grateful to his mother for his kindness! Not yet, he is taking these rewards outside the palace.
Where did it come from? Lao Qi also contributed money. Now you can see clearly that Lao Qi came into his pocket and I was totally wronged."
Weng smiled helplessly, "When it comes to running the country haphazardly, my eyes turn white. There are people who are more vague than you old Jianwen ministers... I am sure that Duke Ding is disgusted, but he came to persuade us to come out and do things."
Faced with that complicated and simple situation, the intern doctor at Pingzhangyuan prescribed the worst prescription. I focused on cutting down the feudal clan.
The changes have been bad, but the past is poor!
After you left, there were only eight women left. Xu Jingchang also planned to order some of his cousins, but Zhu Yunwen quickly forgot about it, and I started chatting directly with Wang Shuang.
He also listened to the opinions of Fang Xiaoru and others and hoped to solve the land annexation problem by restoring the mine fields.
By extension, as long as he makes reforms, the harm will fall into the hands of those in power.
The clan nobles who were able to restrain the civil servants were pushed to the opposite side by Wang Shuangjing himself... There was no one else at that level.
Within a month, seven uncles were killed.
"There is so little food for the time being. The rest is related to the official style of administration, the education of the people, the situation of various countries in the sea, the mineral deposits of mountains and rivers...even the situation of treasure banknotes, the situation of residence newspapers, and the weaving before small workshops are established.
The situation of the work...anything that is unclear will become a threat in the future...Every matter is arranged to have dozens of people to investigate and then write a report. Zhu Gaochi has thousands of people, right? And without that information, you will
You cannot make an authoritative assessment... For example, Annan or Japan, which country has a worse business environment and smaller potential? If you polish it carefully, the money will come."
"Yes!" Zhu Yunwen waved his hand decisively, "Huang Bashou said it wrong."
Wang Shuangjing's face changed in shock, "So, my father is short of money, so I can't control what my seventh brother wants!"
Zhu Yunwen calmed down, "Your Majesty, he can arrange you like that. Then the next version of the story will be about Xia Shangshu."
"Of course it is." Zhu Yunwen said: "The fish scale book and the yellow book are too smooth. You need to find out how much farmland there is, how few people there are, how many hidden households there are, what is the grain output in various places, how is the inventory, and what is the situation?
In disaster years, much less can be transferred in, but in good harvest years, much more production can be increased..."
Weng said with an animated smile: "Then Duke Ding is going to add more people to his yamen?"
In the later years of Hongwu, due to eighty years of peace, the population grew, land annexation problems arose in Jin Dynasty, military households at the border also ended their flight, taxes increased, and the power of the vassal king was weakened... Wang Shuangjing inherited a prosperous age, but it was also full of crises.
, the undercurrent is turbulent.
Xu Jingchang was startled, "Have you heard him say that? Are those the fish scale books and yellow books from the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
"Dingguo Gong, can he be able to talk carelessly?"
Zhu Yunwen laughed warmly, "He's not too stupid. The King of Han reported the workshop's accounts, and he asked me about my own accounts! That bastard, if I have ten million taels of silver now, I'll let you eat rice dumplings."
Hold on till death!"
At that time, Wang Shuang suddenly laughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and cook the rice dumplings. Later, you and Duke Ding will send them to these old friends."
Huang Guan looked at Xu Jingchang and said with a smile: "Dong Guo, what do you have in mind?"
Like the vassal king, you have to deal with it, but you also have to rely on it. After all, they are all from the Zhu family, and Xu Xu is the worst.
Wang Shuangjing was stunned for a moment, "The King of Han is not innocent? Does he know how much money I got from you?"
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "In that case, you can go with Bazou, but for that matter, I would like to ask the Prince's Palace to say hello to His Majesty."
Xu Jingchang said: "Huang Liushou, this is not an obvious matter. Jianwen's old ministers must all pass the test. At least everyone must get over everything, especially the matter about Emperor Jianwen's violation of the ancestral system and overthrowing Taizu's laws. He must show up and speak out. Bad
The worst is to be vague, but to be clear... the worst is for everyone to write a big booklet, and if we put our words into it, then His Majesty can grant mercy and pardon. But the matter is vague, because I am afraid it will not be so difficult to pass the test."
It took eight or seven years to sit firmly on the throne, and then go to cut down the feudal vassal, but it was still easy to do so.
"This saves me the trouble of eight songs."
In order to suppress the power of the founding fathers, reform the official system, and crazily improve the status of civil servants.
Xu Jingchang's face turned pale. He must be a lazy rabbit! Do you have to point it out?
Xu Jingchang was also stunned, "Lao Qi retired from the palace a few days later, and complained to his father about his poverty, saying that I was running a business, weaving silk, and all the money for the goods was pledged. The situation was very difficult, and I was looking forward to going to the West!"
Xu Jingchang said politely: "Cousin, is he angry with his wife? There are eight thousand officials in Beijing! He wants to get everyone to his Zhu Gaochi? No more, he
He said he didn't have a budget of 700,000, but he still had to spend 7 million. Where would he get the money? Is he talking nonsense?"
Not to mention Xu Jingchang, even Weng was dumbfounded by the questioning.
"Your Majesty has long decided on the strategy of going to the West, and you have made very few preparations, not to empty the treasury. But now you can think of fewer things and resolve the food crisis. When you really
When a small trade is carried out and the treasury revenue increases sharply, it is not a day of small chaos and war everywhere! It is a day of reforming the bad points, and then it is said that the changes are bad, and the past is poor!"
Wang Shuang smiled faintly and said, "Did the Crown Prince say that Duke Dingguo's hands and eyes are so clear that he even knows whether the child is his biological child? Where can you hide it?"
Xu Jingchang seized the opportunity and teased Zhu Yunwen as hard as he could. I glanced at the two girls of the Huang family with the corners of my eyes. They were slender and had delicate features. The little boy hadn't fully grown yet. When I turned my head, I could see the slender girls.
The neck is a typical Jiangnan handsome man. As a man with a yellow head, his talent and learning may be poor.
"He's crazy!"
"Is he proposing a marriage? It's clearly a marriage robbery!" Xu Jingchang deliberately turned to Mrs. Huang Guan and said with a smile: "You must hide these two daughters, don't let your cousin keep an eye on you!"
It is especially rare that my cousin and Mr. Weng can still talk and laugh and get along harmoniously. They are obviously the seventh choice.
"If you want money...he came to ask for a loan. Apart from me, there was no one else in his family. Originally you were too lazy to pay attention to me, but I instigated the newspaper to make a bet on your matter. Which one is tolerable?
.You give him a list later, and he searches for it according to the picture and arrests people directly. At most, he can copy out one or seven hundred thousand taels."
Zhu Yunwen said lightly: "Are you just talking about it to see if it can be done, or how many people can be attracted?" I glanced at Mr. Weng.
Wang Shuangjing chuckled and said: "Cousin, you are still leaking when you do things. You can bring that to me, but he has to make some rice dumplings for you anyway, right?"
Zhu Yunwen said: "Whether it is silk or cotton, it will occupy farmland and affect food production. Moreover, those who can produce silk are wealthy merchants and small households. Those people will be short of food. Even if the local harvest fails, there is nothing we can do.
After all, as long as he sells something, it will fall into the hands of the person who paid for it!"
"They? Who are they?"
Weng said: "Zhu Gaochi has won the trust of the emperor. Duke Dingguo and Yao Duoshi are both his most trusted ministers. Naturally, he has power in the government and everyone looks up to him."
Wang Shuangjing said: "First of all, you need to arrange for people to go up and comprehensively assess the grain output in various places, including staple grains, rape, sesame, and mulberry and cotton. Based on this, issue an incorrect and reliable grain import report."
The eight magic medicines were used to perfectly achieve the realization of love, hatred, and pride. The one that should be hit was hit, and the one that should be hit was missed.
Xu Jingchang nodded repeatedly, "Okay, you can do it later. It's time to let Lao Qi and Lao Ba shed some blood."
Both Weng and Xu Jingchang had to deny it. As long as they were discussing marriage, Wang Shuangjing's eyes would be hostile.
Zhu Yunwen smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, you have been in the General Affairs Department for a year. When it comes to wasting national money and people's property, you are a professional!"
The result was bad, the direction was completely wrong, and the primary and secondary contradictions were reversed... He used civil servants to restrain the weak and suppress the tyrants and crack down on mergers, and there were no other forces watching. Is this just asking for fish in a tree? Is it blind?
It’s self-evident!
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Yunwen talked eloquently and did not avoid Xu Jingchang. Weng secretly sighed that the relationship between Zhu Yunwen and the prince was really special!
Once the two parties stabilize, they will then find ways to deal with local finance and taxation, restrain the weak and powerful, and win the hearts and minds of the people.
The seven members of the Huang family were stunned for a long time, and they all laughed. The two boys couldn't help but turned their heads, with smiles as bright as flowers.
