Zhu Ying's voice echoed throughout the Fengtian Hall.
This was the first time that he said such things in front of the officials.
All the ministers pricked up their ears to listen and feel the thoughts of His Highness Changsun, the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
However, after all is said and done, whether it is a civil official or a military attaché.
Some of them are so beautiful that it’s incredible.
The entire court knew about the relationship between Duke Liang and His Highness Changsun, especially His Highness the Crown Prince and Lan Yu.
The former Lan Yu was the most loyal subordinate of His Highness the Crown Prince.
If not, Lan Yu would not be qualified to serve as the leader of the Huaixi Military Generals Group, and even the possibility of being named a duke is unlikely.
It was the intention of His Highness Changsun today to let this general do a job similar to that of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division.
This is too bizarre.
Most people were thinking, could it be that the relationship between His Highness Changsun and Duke Liang was not good?
Otherwise, why would Duke Liang be like this? He would be demoted three levels more than once.
"Mr. Liang Guo, what do you think?
Although Zhu Yuanzhang already knew Zhu Ying's plan, he still couldn't help but ask Lan Yu.
Asking Lan Yu to work in the Department of Public Security is unreliable, but Lan Yu kowtows at such an unreliable thing.
"I am very willing to do so."
As soon as he came out, the ministers immediately became quiet. No one would think that Lan Yu agreed willingly, and must have been forced by His Majesty or His Highness Changsun.
At this time, no one thought of Zhan Shangshu.
Even some civil servants looked at Lan Yu with pity.
In the final analysis, Lan Yu was able to achieve the position of Governor Zuo of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, and his own merits were extremely good, and he made a huge contribution to the entire Ming Dynasty.
A good general, but now he has to take charge of patrols.
It seems that His Highness Changsun is really suspicious of these strange looks. Lan Yu can naturally feel it.
Her face seemed calm and normal, but in fact, deep in her eyes, Lan Yu showed a hint of excitement.
For officials, legal constraints have been extremely low since ancient times.
As the saying goes, the people do not fight against the officials. Those who supervise the officials are usually the censors of the court. Ordinary people have no possibility of fighting against the officials.
From the 10th to the 20th year of Hongwu, according to the decree issued by Zhu Yuanzhang, the people could kidnap corrupt officials and take them to Beijing.
Such things have indeed happened many times.
However, in fact, this policy was abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang himself not long after.
The reason is simple.
It's enough to tie local officials to the capital, but how can they be ordinary people? Most of them are from clans with large numbers of people. Even the magistrate often has to worry about or even try to please them when facing them.
They are no longer just ordinary people. How can real poor people kidnap corrupt officials?
Even if they had this intention, if the officials took out a few Ming Dynasty treasure notes, how could the people be willing to travel thousands of miles to deliver them to the capital?
It seems like a beautiful system, but it has never been implemented and can only be left alone.
But that's different now.
The emergence of the Public Security Department is equivalent to being assigned the power that only the supervisory censor has.
Moreover, he is in charge of military power, and his name is a veteran, so of course his combat effectiveness goes without saying.
As Lan Yu, who is in charge of the Public Security Department, in his mind, the Public Security Department is an expanded version of the Jin Yiwei, truly capable of monitoring the world.
After the morning court dispersed, the civil servants had mixed thoughts.
I didn’t expect that even a figure like Duke Liang would be cut off directly.”
"Yes, usually it's me and other civil servants who suffer, but now it's finally the general's turn. I'm in a good mood today. My colleagues, would you like to have a drink?"
Haha, just as I thought, the Duke of Liang is like this, but it is actually his own fault. He is usually domineering and does not take anyone seriously. I thought that the appearance of His Highness Changsun would give Lan Yu another support, but I didn't expect it.
Ha ha
"Shh! Be careful, even if Liang Guogong is in this situation, his relationship with the army may not be reduced at all. He might go back again in two years."
"Indeed, the border is not very stable. There are still people in Shaanxi who rebel and proclaim themselves emperor. It's really hard to know how high the sky is. If the situation on the battlefield is not good, I am afraid that Duke Liang will be able to lead the army to fight again in the end."
"If you make great achievements, it is not impossible for you to return to your original position.
"That makes sense, but that's all for the future. Let's go have a few drinks today. Will you feel better?"
"Hahaha! Let's go together, let's go together!"
Most of the civil servants were very excited. Since ancient times, there have been deep conflicts between civil and military officials.
Civil servants can't stand the rudeness of military generals, and military generals can't stand the corruption of civil servants. Especially now during the Hongwu period, almost all the previous three major cases happened on the side of the civil servants, which made the military generals even more nervous about things like corruption and bribery.
,How
Is it possible that only civil servants can do this? There are not many military officers who do this, and they are even more blatant than civilian officials. At least the civilian officials still worry about saving face. But just like this, the pressure of corruption and bribery seems to be all on the civilian officials.
In the canopy palace.
Dasun, this move of yours is really good at killing people, but we didn’t expect that Lan Yu would listen to Dasun so much. What kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into him?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.
Zhu Ying smiled and said: "Although Lan Yu already holds the official position of a general, in fact, he has a ruthless nature in his heart. The most important thing is loyalty. The word "righteousness" comes first, and he must do his duty.
"This kind of people are different from many civil servants when it comes to money. They spend a lot of money just for fun."
"My grandson is not completely lying. He has promised to let Lan Yu join the Qunying Chamber of Commerce. This can be regarded as compensation for the land he handed over."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
In fact, Zhu Yuan is not very concerned about money. Land is the source of everything and the key to ensuring the lives of grassroots people.
If 80% of the people can have enough to eat, the Ming Dynasty of Lao Zhu's family will naturally be passed down for a long time.
"We heard that Dasun, you seem to be doing well at the Chamber of Commerce recently. You must have made a lot of money. We heard the cooking report. It is said that the scene is a rare sight in the capital."
"That makes us a little excited. If it weren't for the fact that you, the eldest grandson, were going to court that day, we would really have to join in the fun.'
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang still cared about the development of commerce. When commerce prospered, the Ming Dynasty's economy would naturally become stronger. These are inseparable.
Zhu Yuanzhang was ruthless towards profiteers, and now he also gave great support to the businessman Zheng Ce. The tax of thirty to one was pitifully low.
Zhu Ying also introduced with a smile: "The business development here in the capital is still very good, especially in terms of people's livelihood. Sun'er's promotion this time is to sell a large amount of business at a lower price than usual. "Basically inventory
Everything has been cleared out. In business, the key lies in circulation. Many wealthy families have the habit of hiding money. This is not a good thing for business.
,
"Only by finding a way to let them spend all their money can our Ming Dynasty's business prosper, so that the people can have more job opportunities instead of being restricted to digging in the soil." The annexation of land is currently
It's still very serious, but now that Lan Yu is taking the lead, we can slowly take back the land in the future."
It's just that we need to think more carefully about the land rewards. We would rather give more gold, silver and jewels than mansions and compounds, and we cannot give too much land as rewards."
"Giving a big house as a reward requires many servants to take care of it, which gives some poor people a way out."
After hearing what Dasun said, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered and asked: "If this is the case, will there be fewer farmers farming? Dasun has thought about this."
Zhu Ying explained: "In fact, it will not have any impact. The fields are now in the hands of the court and can also be rented to farmers. Coupled with the food production brought by sweet potatoes and other crops, a large number of laborers will come from the fields.
was liberated.
"The most important thing is the response to natural disasters. My grandson checked the historical books and found that since the Yuan Dynasty, natural disasters have become more frequent."
At first, my grandson thought that this was the case only in the Central Plains. Later, through communication with overseas merchants, he determined that this was not only the case in the Central Plains, but also in foreign countries tens of thousands of miles away.
"The whole world seems to be undergoing a big change. My grandson has studied it carefully. It seems that the winter is getting longer every year, and it may last for many years."
Hearing his grandson talking about this, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows began to wrinkle slightly.
In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, almost all the first batch of imperial eunuchs were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The most important reason is the divination of Qin Tianjian.
The result of the calculation is unknown, but it made Zhu Yuanzhang furious.
Now when he heard what the eldest son said, Zhu Yuanzhang realized that he seemed to have killed the wrong person back then. This thought flashed through Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, and then he asked the eldest grandson: "So, how frequent are natural disasters?"
It breaks out and affects the whole world
There is such a scene, and it has nothing to do with the previous dynasty or this dynasty. Zhu Ying nodded and said: "It is like this, the way is the ruthless way of heaven, and it will never change because of changes in people's hearts. There is a saying in ancient times, eight hundred years ago
It’s spring, and eight hundred years is autumn.”
"According to my grandson, it seems that the entire world is beginning to gradually pass towards winter like the four seasons. It may be like this in the next few decades, or even hundreds of years, or even worse."
Zhu Ying was very tired when she said this to the old man, and she thought about it in her mind for a long time.
If we directly talk about the Little Ice Age, it will easily lead to the feeling of fantasy. At present, Zhu Ying can only make the old man understand it to a certain extent. Judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's face, the effect is pretty good.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang also understands why Da Sun cares more about business. The underlying meaning is that he hopes that more people can withstand natural disasters.
If you rely solely on a few acres of fertile farmland, once a natural disaster strikes, your wealth will be wiped out and you will not be able to find a way to get up and eat.
"We probably understand what Dasun told us. In the future, we will set rules to limit the land rewards and gradually take them back. We will also slowly let go of the treasure banknotes."
"Lest we just finish printing the front foot, the grandson will make away with all these treasures and burn them all back to us."
When talking about the latter part, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke in a very joking tone. It was the first time for Zhu Yuanzhang to see such things as burning Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes.
At the same time, I also began to understand the good intentions of Da Sun.
Regarding the concept of reserves, I now have a thorough understanding. The value of Ming Dynasty treasures has depreciated greatly, and Zhu Yuanzhang also understands the current situation.
"Can a trick like Da Sun be used throughout the Ming Dynasty and used many times?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Zhu Yuanzhang was really moved by the amount of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes burned by Da Sun. The profit was simply too exaggerated.
The daily income is almost equal to nearly half of the Ming Dynasty's annual income. This is only one day, and it is only within the scope of the capital.
The money came too quickly, it was so profitable.
This is what Da Sun did. If it had been anyone else, Zhu Yuanzhang would have been in a murderous state long ago.
This is even more terrifying than Shen Wansan. For a long time, it has been a truly wealthy country.
Zhu Ying shook her head and explained: "No, the reason why we were able to achieve such great success this time was mainly because it was our first event, so it aroused a lot of interest.
"Furthermore, with the current large-scale dumping of various commodities, many households have already purchased enough, and the desire to buy in a short period of time will not be very strong. The effect produced the second time will definitely not be as good as the first time.
"The key is to make the overall business economy prosperous. If we do too much, people won't feel much about it."
Having said this, Zhu Ying paused slightly, and then said: "Sun'er estimates that many businesses will be extremely jealous of the profits obtained this time, and there are currently areas that can host such activities."
"Except for the capital, there are only Su and Song."
"In order to prevent other businessmen from imitating this method, my grandson will ask his grandfather to amend the relevant laws. Holding such an event will most likely cause a large number of people to gather and cause great chaos.'
"At the same time, we must also prevent other businessmen from taking the opportunity to join forces and fish in troubled waters."
In the current market situation, monopoly is a must.
The public security departments in Suzhou and Songshan have already completed their deployment. How can others be allowed to take a bite of fat before Zhu Ying is full.
Long Qi is for some businessmen who love to be speculative. Only by controlling it at the government level can they gather so much wealth in chaotic places such as the Ming Dynasty border and the desert of the Western Regions. Zhu Ying has never been a kind person. When it's time to take action, you won't be soft-hearted.
