Five hundred and thirtieth chapters persuade people to have a set
Zhu Hao's meaning is very clear. If you ask me for my opinion, I will say that I can't help you.
Do you think I will tell you the truth if you ask me?
Aren’t I allowed to make jokes and push the envelope?
The highest level of joining is not to be stubborn and obedient, but to make you rely on me extraordinarily despite the appearance and detachment. Only in this way can you regard me as an aide, not a follower like Yang Weicong.
I have seen what happens to followers.
"I don't need you to give me advice. I just want to hear your opinion. When it comes to matters related to Huangzhuang, feel free to speak freely as a reference." Yang Shen said.
Zhu Hao nodded and then fell silent, as if he was thinking carefully.
Yang Shen was not in a hurry. Maybe he felt that Zhu Hao had never thought about related matters before. After all, how could a Hanlin Academy editor think about the affairs of the Imperial Village when it had nothing to do with him?
After a while, Zhu Hao said: "As I expected, Huangzhuang has a lot of fields. The imperial court once dismissed the eunuchs in charge of Huangzhuang and the general manager and others. Huangzhuang has entered a semi-abandoned state. Now that it is the planting season, someone must come forward to take care of it as soon as possible.
, or take action."
"Um."
Yang Shen nodded, these are simple truths and irrefutable facts.
"Here's the problem... Most of the land in Huangzhuang is fertile land around the capital. People with power are coveting it. Manpower is needed to take care of it. If the officials of the imperial court take care of both, it will become the model of the previous Huangzhuang.
There is no way to talk about reform." Zhu Hao said.
Yang Shen continued to nod: "If we find someone to take care of it again, it will indeed go against the purpose of Daige Huangzhuang."
Zhu Hao said: "But the problem is that selling the fields is just transferring these fields to the nobles..."
Yang Shen shook his head: "Your Majesty has issued a decree not to allow nobles to touch the land of Huangzhuang."
"That's what I say, but can't I ask private businessmen to help me buy it? Even if these fields really fall into the hands of the private sector, can't I secretly snatch them from the buyers? It's not possible to rob them openly, but they have to give them to those who bought them.
If the common people or businessmen who bought the land fabricated a crime and forced them to hand over the land voluntarily, what would be the response?"
When Zhu Hao said this, Yang Shen's face turned cold and serious.
In the past, I just wanted to abolish the imperial village, and it was over. Many subsequent finishing tasks were not thought through. To put it bluntly, it was the literati's enthusiasm for governance, and they did not care about the past and the future.
To sum up in Zhu Hao's words, this is the idealism of literati.
Your idea is very good. Get rid of the imperial palace, resolve the bad government, and everyone will be happy.
But the problem is that the Imperial Manor has existed for a long time, and you want to erase all traces of it in a short time. Your eagerness for quick success has caused a lot of land problems. It is precisely these lands that are the most precious resources of this era. The imperial court no longer holds them. Do you think
Can it be transferred to the private sector smoothly?
In the end, who gets the bigger fist?
Yang Shen said: "You mean that the issue of land annexation by the emperor's relatives and nobles cannot be solved with just one edict?"
"Um."
Zhu Hao nodded, "I don't know if what I said is right or not, I just said what came to my mind. I hope Brother Yang won't take offense."
Yang Shen just asked casually before, wanting to hear Zhu Hao's opinion, but now he couldn't help but pay more attention to it and said: "You continue to talk."
Zhu Hao thought for a while and continued: "Even if the Imperial Mansion really falls into the hands of the people, the inner palace will become empty from now on. If there is any need, if you say something that is not too...pleasant, the new emperor will have no choice in Xingwang Mansion."
Special attention will be paid to the hidden residence of the emperor. When the time comes, people will be sent to build the Xingwang Palace, or to rebuild the Xianwang Mausoleum, or to increase the cost of building the palace, the daily expenses of the palace, etc...
"How should I put it? There is a saying among the people, which is to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. This may not be very appropriate, but in the end, once the inner government has a demand and the supply from the imperial village is no longer available, the Ministry of Household Affairs will have to fill it."
Yang Shen didn't want to admit it at first, but in the end he nodded: "As you said, even if the Huangzhuang land is successfully sold, most of the money will still be used in the inner government, not the household department."
Zhu Hao said: "From what I see, it's better not to sell it, or the court simply doesn't get involved in the matter of Huangzhuang."
"What?"
Yang Shen glared at Zhu Hao.
You guys can do it. I asked you for your opinion on how to deal with it. In the end, your conclusion was to leave it alone and not deal with it?
Let's let go?
Zhu Hao seemed to be unaware of Yang Shen's attitude and continued his analysis: "I heard that many of the retinues from Prince Xing's Palace accompanied His Majesty to the capital. Some of these people were assigned to the Royal Guards, while others entered the palace. There were also many subordinate officials of the Prince's Palace.
They can be placed in various yamen in the court, but their own abilities are low and they have no ability to handle court affairs. If they stay in the capital, they lack the resources to survive..."
"Huh?" Yang Shen frowned.
At first, he was very angry and felt that Zhu Hao's words were tantamount to betrayal.
But thinking about it again, Zhu Hao never said he wanted to join him, so why would he talk about betrayal?
And only those like Zhu Hao who are not attached to "powerful people" and can speak out and impartially regardless of their position when encountering problems will have more reference value for their opinions. Unlike Yang Weicong, who is obviously obedient to him on the surface, but secretly
Help the new emperor!

In comparison, Zhu Hao's neutral thoughts are commendable.
Don’t deliberately pick and choose what you like to say just for the sake of attachment.
Zhu Haodao: "I think that your Majesty wants to take back the disposal power of the Imperial Mansion, probably to resettle the old people of Prince Xing's Mansion, right? Some of the officials in Prince Xing's Mansion are incapable of handling important affairs of the court, so they are placed in the middle of the court.
, On the contrary, it will make the imperial government bureaucracy bloated and inefficient. It is better to let them manage the imperial palace, not only provide expenses for the inner government, but also give them the capital to live and work."
Yang Shen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your point of view is very novel. No one has mentioned it to me before."
Zhu Hao smiled ashamedly: "I'm just talking casually, because I have seen the abilities of these people in the palace. They can't even handle the affairs in the palace well. What are their main responsibilities in the palace? That is, to manage the prosperity.
It’s just the Wangzhuang in the palace, they have some experience in this.”
"Um?"
Yang Shen's eyes were deep, and he seemed to remember something under Zhu Hao's "unintentional" reminder.
He heard his father say what the emperor said in the court that day. At that time, the emperor clearly said that he wanted to find experienced people to manage the farm and asked the court officials to recommend candidates. At that time, no one took these words to heart and only regarded them as the emperor.
excuse.
Now think about it carefully, hadn't the emperor already hinted at that time that he would let the officials of Prince Xing's Mansion come out to manage the palace? Find something for them to do?
Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to the disposal of the Imperial Mansion. If the Imperial Mansion is sold, the land will inevitably be transferred to the hands of nobles. If it is managed by officials from Prince Xing's Mansion, it will not only reduce the expenses for the court, but also make Xing Xing happy."
The people in the palace have something to do...it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. Of course, this is just my humble opinion.
"In my opinion, His Majesty may also have a headache now. After all, there are quite a few people in Prince Xing's palace who have the power of Conglong. If they follow them to the capital, their family records will also be moved back. It is difficult to feed so many mouths.
"
"hehe."
When Yang Shen heard this, he smiled all over his face, "What you said makes sense...then what do you think?"
Zhu Hao spread his hands and said, "If it were me, I would just ignore it. There are so many officials from Prince Xing's palace. What can they do when they arrive in the capital? Why not let them manage the palace? They will definitely be happy. Since they have reduced the burden for the court,
Why not spend money on salary and at the same time prevent these people from interfering in the government affairs? If you make such unnecessary insistence and cause rifts between Your Majesty and the civil servants, it will really be more gain than loss."
If someone else had said this to Yang Shen, Yang Shen would have spat on his face and it would have been light, and he would have slapped him long ago.
I asked you to give your opinion, but you actually asked us to compromise?
But these words came from the mouth of Zhu Hao, who was born in Prince Xing's palace and had always claimed to be neutral and did not want to get involved in the court's disputes. However, these words were extremely convincing.
“One family’s words are not enough!”
Zhu Haodan smiled and said, "Brother Yang, just pretend you didn't hear what I said... I'm speaking softly, I hope Brother Yang won't take it to heart."
Yang Shen looked at Zhu Hao with something else in his eyes.
Even Zhu Hao felt that this guy didn't really think that what I said was a wise saying and he would obey my words, right?
I'm just pretending to remain neutral in front of you, but don't let me get away with it, I'll feel embarrassed.
Yang Shen said: "Okay, Zhu Hao, I have written down your opinion. I will mention it to my father later. No one wants there to be any resentment between the monarch and his ministers. As you said, it is indeed true that the officials from Prince Xing's Mansion will enter the court."
I don’t want them to interfere in the government affairs, so I simply let them manage the imperial village once and for all.”
…
…
Yang Mansion.
Yang Tinghe's study.
"...What? You want my father to do nothing? You want His Majesty to send someone to take care of the palace? Yongxiu, do you know what you are talking about?"
Yang Tinghe had just returned home and was worrying about affairs between the DPRK and China. He planned to work overtime when he came back. However, his son almost broke his nose with anger when he spoke on the phone.
Yang Shen said: "Father, please don't get angry, listen to the child's analysis first..."
As a result, Yang Shen almost told Yang Tinghe all of Zhu Hao's analysis.
At first Yang Tinghe was so angry that he almost wanted to hit his son with an inkstone with a eucalyptus head, but as his son's story progressed, his face gradually became gloomy, and finally he closed his eyes and began to think deeply.
Yang Shen sighed: "From the very beginning, my father misunderstood Your Majesty regarding the Imperial Estate. He did not intend to preserve the Imperial Estate, but because the Governor's Office sold the Imperial Estate at a low price and harmed the interests of the imperial court. His Majesty was extremely angry. Add
Your Majesty is surrounded by too many mediocre people who have ascended to heaven because of their merits from the dragon. Your Majesty is also hesitating about how to arrange them. There is clearly a palace that can arrange these people, but they are sold off by the Governor's Mansion at a low price. They can be replaced as children.
It will make you angry."
Yang Tinghe squinted his eyes and looked at his son: "Yongxiu, why did you have these thoughts?"
In the past, Yang Shen could have simply said that Zhu Hao mentioned it.
But now he knew that if this was Zhu Hao's opinion, Yang Tinghe would definitely not agree, and would instead doubt Zhu Hao's motives.
