Not long after, Dai Yi came according to the order.
Zhu Jianji was half awake and half asleep.
Zhu Qiyu felt sorry for his son and asked Shu Liang to tell Dai Yi to wait outside - no matter what happened, it was not as important as his son's health.
At noon, Jiu Qing and fourteen ministers came to the banquet.
Everyone is confused.
What day is it today, and what good thing happened.
Your Majesty wants to give you a banquet?
Having said that, His Majesty's mood has been very high recently, which can be seen with the naked eye. As an old father, his son is famous beyond the Great Wall, and the ministers at home are in awe. It's hard not to be happy.
Zhu Qiyu actually asked the imperial dining room to prepare several banquet tables.
As a result, after Zhu Jianji woke up, he had the banquet removed.
First, Dai Yi was called in. After giving these instructions, Dai Yi hurriedly returned to the East Palace.
Waiting is also waiting.
Let's summon all the ministers to Dongnuan Pavilion, just in time to discuss reform.
Jiu Qing and the fourteen ministers entered Dongnuan Pavilion with blank expressions. Didn't they say they were giving a banquet? Dongnuan Pavilion is where His Majesty's office is, so it is impossible to eat in Dongnuan Pavilion.
But it was already dinner time.
After entering Dongnuan Pavilion, although the ministers did not dare to look directly, from the corner of their eyes, they noticed that our Majesty was sitting on the couch, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sitting behind His Majesty's desk.
More and more confused.
What the hell are these two father and son doing?
Everyone salutes.
Zhu Qiyu said nothing.
Before calling the ministers to come in, Bunny had already said hello. Next was his stage. Zhu Qiyu just watched - at this moment, Zhu Qiyu really felt that the Zen position was a very pleasant thing.
Zhu Jianji excused himself and said: "Today's banquet is in charge of the East Palace. However, the East Palace does not have as many people as the imperial kitchen, and is still being prepared. I hope all of you will be patient and wait for a while, and we can take advantage of this opportunity to have a good time."
You gentlemen, please discuss some measures related to the future of our country, Ming Dynasty."
Measures, politics.
Everyone's hearts trembled, as they thought something big was going to happen.
Sure enough, Zhu Jianji continued: "Your Majesty and the ministers have been discussing the matter of opening the sea for a long time, so we will not go into details today. We will implement the policy of opening the sea as soon as possible according to the discussion."
The ministers received the decree.
Zhu Jianji added: "Xunzi Duke Ai said that water can carry a boat and also overturn it. This is a warning to the imperial power. As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I know the truth deeply, but this is actually passive. I
The Crown Prince of Heaven, if he really wants to plan for the country and the country, he should take the initiative to seek the welfare of the people, instead of treating the people as water just to stabilize the country."
As soon as these words came out, even though Shang Ren, who was extremely humble as a minister in this dynasty and was extremely successful in the imperial examination, the two of them couldn't help but cheer secretly.
Beautifully said.
If the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty passively regarded the people as water for their own interests, their original intentions would be low.
But taking the initiative to seek the welfare of the people, rather than being passive, can make you a saint.
His Highness the Crown Prince’s words...
The openness of the layout is awe-inspiring.
Although the other ministers all have various interests, since they serve in the Ming Dynasty, they must also have the idea of working for the benefit of their family, country, and country. They all feel happy to hear the prince's thoughts.
Isn't such a prince a hundred times stronger than Baozong?
Fortunately, both rebellions were put down.
Not better than the unknown Zhu Jianjin, the King of Fortune?
Fortunately, Tang's maternal relatives were also eliminated.
Zhu Jianji said: "I have heard such a passage before about what happiness is. What he said is: happiness is, I am hungry and you are eating steamed buns, then you are happier than me; I have no clothes to wear, and you are well-dressed.
Shang, then you are happier than me; happiness means that I want to go to the toilet, but you occupy the only toilet, so you are also happier than me."
Ministers: "..."
What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd by His Majesty the Prince?
I don't know what he wants.
Zhu Jianji said: "Actually, the requirements of the people of Ming Dynasty are not high. They can eat well, wear warm clothes, have houses to shelter from the rain, shelter from the wind, sleep, and have flocks of chickens and ducks. Most people are already satisfied. But that's it.
Many people are unable to meet simple requirements. The reason is that I
The Ming Dynasty is too poor... Well, I know that the only people who are poor are the people. The powerful and powerful people in the Ming Dynasty are not poor at all. This is not the time to pursue this issue. There is no way to pursue it, because society is inherently unfair. Because
Only this kind of unfairness can promote social progress."
As long as there are classes, there will always be a gap between rich and poor.
In feudal society, how could there be no classes?
As the prince and the future leader of the world, Zhu Jianji had no idea of overthrowing class rule - in the Ming Dynasty, this was unrealistic and impossible to achieve.
First of all, it is impossible to achieve universal enlightenment.
That's too far.
Zhu Jianji continued: "In the final analysis, it is still about money. The imperial court has always been poor. It has been very poor since the time of Taizu. The country has been in ruins for nearly a hundred years, but the treasury has been making do with it. As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I feel lonely and heartbroken. Fortunately,
Reading the books of sages alone will help you understand the principles of the world. You will wake up early and sleep at night worrying about things, and finally you will come up with good strategies."
"Opening the sea and overseas trade can allow the private economy to develop rapidly, at least help a group of people to become rich first, and also provide a large number of jobs. Renewable resources such as tea and silk can be exchanged for gold and silver and brought back to the country. At the same time, the country can
Everyone knows that a large amount of taxes will be collected from overseas trade, so the opening of the sea must be implemented as soon as possible. And in order to open the sea,
To make the most money, we must promote the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes and let foreign countries accept the treasure banknotes. This requires the cooperation of the whole country to make the treasure banknotes truly become a currency. Tomorrow, His Majesty will issue a decree and amend the "Da Ming Law"
, to make all matters involving treasure banknotes included in the law, in order to strengthen the circulation of treasure banknotes in daily life, and to make every effort to rebuild the national credibility of treasure banknotes."
"This matter has been agreed upon, and if there is a chapter outlining the pros and cons, or if someone dares to take the lead in resisting the treasure banknotes, then it is illegal, so don't blame me for being rude, don't say that I didn't predict what I said!"
The ministers looked at each other in shock.
I knew His Highness the Crown Prince was strong, but I didn't expect him to be so strong.
No one made a sound.
Since His Highness the Crown Prince used the excuse of purging relatives of the Tang family to suppress the civil service group last time, no one in the center of the court is dissatisfied.
Zhu Jianji continued: "Now that we have a way to make money, the Ming Bank will continue to implement various measures to improve and promote the treasure banknote system. Next, let's talk about the issue of food. How can we ensure that the people of Ming Dynasty are not hungry or hungry?
Have you ever thought of a plan?"
No one dared to say anything.
Even the richest Song Dynasty could not guarantee that all the people had enough food and clothing. The so-called wealth actually refers to the rich and powerful, and the lives of ordinary people were still miserable.
Even the Song Dynasty was like this, so how could the Ming Dynasty solve the problem of food and clothing for all the people.
This is mission impossible!
Zhu Jianji said: "The problem of land annexation will be solved later. Since the Ministry of Agriculture has been established, the first thing is to increase the crop yield of our Ming Dynasty. This is the meaning of the existence of the Ministry of Agriculture. The second-crop rice from Zhancheng should be introduced in our Ming Dynasty.
Planting is vigorously promoted in Jiangnan, Henan and other places."
Champa rice was introduced to China in the Song Dynasty.
Limited by technology, the output is not very high.
Zhu Jianji continued: "So, this is why the Ministry of Agriculture wants to establish the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, not only to increase rice production, but also to introduce various crops from all countries to improve Ming Dynasty agriculture and achieve the great strategy of feeding the people.
"
When everyone heard this, it turned out that His Highness the Crown Prince was waiting for everyone here.
This interest does not involve much.
Some people object because they think it is unnecessary and may redundant officials.
However, His Highness the Crown Prince is so strong and now speaks so solemnly, there must be deep meaning.
Who among you dares to object?
To this day, no one doubts the prince's vision.
Zhu Jianji said to Lin Cong, the Minister of Agriculture: "The Ministry of Agriculture is planning to establish the Academy of Agricultural Sciences today. The specific plan will be discussed later after the banquet is over. Lin Cong will go to the East Palace to discuss it with you personally."
