A man has so many plans for his family and country!
Zhu Yunxi has always felt that he has the responsibility to lead this ancient empire to a better path. And he has an innate perspective of God, which can also save this country from taking many detours.
But there are many things that cannot be rushed and must be taken slowly.
The change of post station to post office seems to be to ensure smooth roads now, and in the future it will be extended to the country's infrastructure construction.
The collection of commercial taxes will become more and more complete in the future, so that the burden of the country will not entirely fall on farmers.
Reforming the currency system can better promote commerce and revitalize the economy.
Dividing farmers into acres will bring a large number of individual farmers to the country. These individuals will become the strongest main body of the Ming Empire in the future.
If everything goes well, in five years the Ming Dynasty's national power will be more than just improved.
Under these macro-level policies, the reduction of vassal power was vested in the central government, the opportunity to cancel the privilege of not paying taxes, the continuous use of foreign troops, the expansion of territory, the establishment of towns by immigrants, and the establishment of sea bans were all natural.
Only by doing these basics well can you fully realize your ambition.
Seeing that the old man expressed his support and was even willing to help his grandson do those difficult things, Zhu Yunxi was deeply moved.
Grandpa Huang, thank you!
Get away, you are pretending! The old man laughed and scolded, stretched out his legs and said, "Hey, the child has no conscience when he is old, so he just talks nice!" After saying that, he rushed down and said, "Earlier, when you saw me lying here, you would have come up to beat my legs."
!
Your grandson will beat your legs!
Next to it, Pu Bucheng put several soft cushions in time. Zhu Yunxi knelt on them and gently beat the old man's legs. Grandpa, not only these, but also the grandson thought that the expenses of our palace could actually be reduced.
Minus! You see, Guanglu Temple’s account books, our palace spends about 300,000 yuan a year, and sometimes we can’t stop it!
The old man frowned. We have been diligent and thrifty throughout the ages, so how can we still spend so much? As he said that, he rolled his eyes. Are there corrupt officials? They have squandered money?
A big family has a big business, so it costs a lot. There are so many slaves in the palace. They all have the reputation of the Tian family, and the food and use are all good, so they naturally spend more. The grandson thought that some elderly palace maids and so on can do it.
Give some money and put it back home and allow marriage!
With fewer people, expenses will come down. From now on, the expenses in our palace will be calculated by both the Ministry of Revenue and Guanglu Temple, and a fixed quota will be guaranteed every year.
Well! The old man snorted, closed his eyes and said, you can make up your own mind about these little things! But, we don’t think it’s necessary. Think about it, if you let the civil servants look at your money bag, what will you do in the future?
Spending money is difficult!
There is no place for the grandson to spend money! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, besides, the Lianghuai salt tax goes into Da Nei's private treasury, so where can there be a shortage of money?
We are used to being poor, so we can do whatever we want! The old man continued, but you have to think about the future generations. The Ming Dynasty has a great cause, no matter how much money you save, it will not be inferior to us! In addition to the expenses we have to spend, your sons will have to share the enfeoffment in the future.
Don’t want money? When you want to ask for it from the civil servant, it will be too late! The civil servant is disgusting, if you say something, he will wait for you with a hundred words!
How to divide the family and the country into the world?
In fact, the most deep-rooted thing in this country is that there is no distinction between emperor, family and country.
Even the wisest and most powerful emperor is like this.
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes and looked straight at Zhu Yunxi, something is wrong with you today, you are crying all the time. You are talking about the imperial palace and the palace expenses are too high. What are you going to do? Saying,
The old man frowned and said, "Boy, do you still want to say that our Xiaoling Mausoleum project is too big!"
The old man's Xiaoling Mausoleum was stopped for a while due to the death of Prince Zhu Biao, and a lot of things were divided, so overall it is not completed yet.
The Xiaoling Mausoleum is so grand in scale that it was only completed in the sixth year of Yongle in history. It involved countless people and financial resources, and it is absolutely huge.
How dare your grandson? Zhu Yunxi felt so wronged, how could he dare to do this?
The reason why he wants to reduce expenditure is because he plans to impose a sea ban next. To change something, you must first let others see the benefits.
The civil servants would never give money to Zhu Yunxi to build a fleet. They would not approve of his ocean voyage. He could only pay for it out of his own pocket, and when the fleet returned with a full load, he would slap those conservatives in the face.
But the fleet cost too much money, so Zhu Yunxi took precautions.
I'm sorry you don't dare! The old man closed his eyes and said.
Also, when my grandson conquered Goryeo last year, he found that some officials in Liaodong were unfit for use and wanted to adjust them! Zhu Yunxi continued to beat his legs and said, such as the commanders in Peking, political participation, and officials from the Chief Secretary. A few years later, several
Uncle Wang also needs to be assigned there, and preparations for things like the palace, the army, and the fields must be made in advance!
Moreover, the original capital of Liaodong also needs to be adjusted. Uncle Han Wang went deeper into Liaodong than his fourth uncle, but he had too few soldiers and horses under his command, and the area he could manage was too small...
You make your own decision without asking us! The old man interrupted, "You are the emperor's grandson. You don't need to ask anyone about this kind of thing. You can just dispatch it."
The implication of the old man's words is that you need to be quick in recruiting people and don't let any outsiders know.
The grandson is still thinking about...
Not finished? The old man suddenly opened his eyes, raised his leg and kicked it. Get away and go play with your wife. We are tired, let’s take a nap!
~~
When we came out of the old man's house, the sun was already setting on the horizon.
The afterglow of the setting sun and Zhu Yunxi's figure intertwined in the corridors of the palace and were reflected on the red wall.
Kunning Palace! Zhu Yunxi said to the bastard beside him.
The emperor's grandson shows off.........
Boom, Zhu Yunxi just raised his leg and kicked it. He was shouting and leading the way. What kind of driving was he doing?
The master and servant took several palace servants and walked towards Kunning Palace.
Because of the birth of Liu Jin, Kunning Palace has become the center of the harem. Several imperial concubines are determined to come to see the little King Wu every day, and Zhang Ronger and others also come to talk with Zhao Ning'er.
As soon as Zhu Yunxi entered the house, he saw a group of warblers chatting and laughing around the cradle.
See Your Highness!
While everyone was saluting, Zhu Yunxi and Zhao Ning'er looked at each other with affectionate eyes. Then they turned to look at Zhang Ronger, who lowered his head and glanced at her secretly.
Your Highness has just come from the Emperor's house? Concubine Guo Hui said with a smile, sisters, let's go. Don't delay the young couple, keep whispering! Then, she covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Look, the young couple really can't get enough of it. Just come back and look for it"
My wife is here!
The people in the palace retreated in an instant, leaving only the couple.
Zhu Yunxi walked to the cradle, first looked at Liu Jin who was sleeping soundly inside, and shook his little hand.
Then he said to Zhao Ning'er, how are you these days?
His Highness went out for a trip and couldn't speak anymore! Zhao Ning'er smiled and said, is there anything else good in the palace?
Haha! Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Well, I'll stay here alone at night!"
There are some things that you just don't want to think about. When you think about it, you can't control it. Zhao Ning'er is a woman with a round body. After giving birth, she became even more round and plump, with bright skin.
After saying this, Zhu Yunxi slowly came closer and whispered, "I don't think I have one!"
Zhao Ning'er flashed slightly and said shyly, "Isn't it dark yet?"
What does the couple's love for each other have to do with the weather? Zhu Yunxi smiled, slowly stepped forward, and was already close. Your hair smells so good...
Not today! Zhao Ning'er moved away again, her face turned red, and she whispered, "I am not feeling well today!"
Zhu Yunxi is angry and is here?
Um!
It’s okay to come! Zhu Yunxi suddenly smiled evilly, last time you used...
Your Highness has no place to bury someone! Zhao Ning'er pushed Zhu Yunxi away in shame and anger. Is the child still there?
He? Liu Jin has opened his eyes and looked here curiously. Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, what does he know?
Ah, he knows everything! Go somewhere else! Zhao Ning'er started to chase people away, looking at your heart-wrenching appearance! As he said that, he remembered something, I don't want to serve you like that, you go find someone else!
Hey! I said!
The grandson of Emperor Zhu Yunxi was actually pushed out of the door by his wife.
The eunuchs and maids on both sides wanted to laugh but dared not.
Zhu Yunxi left the Kunning Palace dejectedly, feeling tangled up in his heart again.
Miaoyun or Ronger?
Hey, having too many wives is annoying!
I am the only man who wants to share the rain and dew for everyone!
After struggling for a long time, he said, "Shame on you bastard!"
The slave is here!
Go, find two pieces of paper, and I want to draw lots!
Later, two paper balls appeared in the hands of the bastard. One was Miaoyun and the other was Zhang Ronger. All the slaves retreated far away, except for their master and servant.
The slave shook!?
hurry up!
The bastard covered the ball of paper with his hands, shook it a few times, and scattered it on the ground.
Zhu Yunxi said, the one on the left!
Your Highness, look!
The bastard picked it up and handed it to Zhu Yunxi, who opened it and saw Miaoyun!
Show off? The bastard asked in a low voice.
Zhu Yunxi scratched his head, winning two out of three games! Keep shaking!
Shake again and choose again!
When I opened it, it was still Miaoyun!
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi didn't look right, he seemed dissatisfied. The bastard asked tentatively, Your Highness, how about three wins out of five games?
Go away, you are delaying the matter! Zhu Yunxi kicked the bastard away again, and shook the two paper balls himself.
Silently chanting in my heart, the sky is full of spirit, the earth is full of spirit, open!
The paper balls fell to the ground, and Zhu Yunxi carefully picked up one and opened it.
