The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 273 Zhu Ying Likes Monopoly
Zhu Ying's voice echoed throughout Fengtian Hall.

This was the first time he had spoken so many words in front of the officials.

All the ministers pricked up their ears to listen, feeling the thoughts of His Highness the eldest grandson, the future Emperor of Ming.

However, after finishing speaking, whether it is a civil servant or a military officer.

They looked at each other in blank dismay, which was unbelievable.

As far as the entire court is concerned, the relationship between Liang Guogong and His Highness the eldest grandson is known to everyone, especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lan Yu.

The former Sapphire was the most loyal subordinate of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

If not, Lan Yu would not be qualified to be the leader of the Huaixi military general Xungui Group, and even the possibility of being named a Duke is unlikely.

But what His Royal Highness Changsun wanted today was to let this great general do a job similar to that of Wucheng Bingmasi.

This... is too bizarre.

Most people thought in their hearts, could it be that the relationship between His Royal Highness Changsun and Duke Liang is not good?

Otherwise, how could Duke Liang be like this, even if he didn't even drop three levels.

"Mr. Liang, what do you think?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang knew Zhu Ying's plan for a long time, he still couldn't help asking Lan Yu.

Let Lan Yu go to the Department of Public Security, no matter how you think, it is unreliable, but it is such an unreliable thing, Lan Yu kowtowed:

"The minister is very willing."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers immediately fell silent.

No one would think that this was Lan Yu's willingness to agree, and it must have been persecuted by His Majesty or His Highness the eldest grandson.

At this time, no one thought of Zhan Shangshu anymore.

Even some civil servants looked at Sapphire with pity.

In the final analysis, Lan Yu was able to reach the position of Zuo Dudu in the Commander's Mansion of the Chinese Army. Her own merits are extremely solid, and she has made a huge contribution to the entire Ming Dynasty.

A good general, but now he has to manage the patrol.

It seems that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is really suspicious.

Sapphire can naturally feel these strange eyes.

It seemed that her face was calm and normal, but in the depths of her eyes, Sapphire showed a hint of excitement.

For officials, since ancient times, the law has extremely low constraints.

As the saying goes, people don't fight with officials, and those who supervise officials are usually the censors of the court. Ordinary people have no possibility of fighting against officials.

From the 20th to [-]th year of Hongwu, according to the decree issued by Zhu Yuanzhang, the people could kidnap corrupt and bribery officials to Beijing.

Such things have indeed happened a lot.

However, in fact, this policy was abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang himself not long after.

the reason is simple.

Those who can tie local officials to the capital, can they still be ordinary people?

Most of them are clans with a large number of people. Even the magistrates often have to be scruples or even flatter them when facing them.

That is no longer a simple common people. How could the real poor people kidnap officials who are corrupt and accept bribes.

Even if they had this intention, how could the common people be willing to travel thousands of miles to send them to the capital if the officials took out a few banknotes of the Ming Dynasty.

The seemingly beautiful system has never been able to be implemented, and it can only be left alone.

But it's different now.

The emergence of the Public Security Department is equivalent to the power that only the supervisory censor has been assigned at the same time.

Moreover, the military power is in charge, and the name is still a retired veteran, so it goes without saying that he has combat effectiveness.

As Lan Yu, who is in charge of the Department of Public Security, in his mind, the Department of Public Security is an enlarged version of Jin Yiwei, which can truly monitor the world.

After the morning dispersal, the civil servants had mixed feelings.

"I didn't expect that even someone like Liang Guogong would be cut down directly."

"Yeah, usually I wait for the civil servants to suffer a lot. Now it's finally the turn of the generals. I'm in a good mood today. Colleagues, do you want to have a drink?"

"Haha, it's just what I want. The Duke of Liang is what he is today, but he has to blame himself. He is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and no one pays attention to him. I thought that the appearance of His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, would give Sapphire another reliance. I didn't think so." ,Ha ha"

"Hush! Be careful, even if Duke Liang is in such a situation, his relationship with the army may not be reduced. Maybe he will go back after two years."

"Indeed, the frontier is not very stable. There are still people in Shaanxi who rebel and proclaim themselves emperor. It's really ignorant. If the situation on the battlefield is not good, I'm afraid Duke Liang will be able to lead the army to fight again in the end."

"If you make great contributions, it is not impossible for the official to return to his original post."

"It's reasonable, but that's all for the future. Let's go have a drink today, don't you feel good?"

"Hahaha! Go together, go together!"

Most of the civil servants were very excited. Since ancient times, there have been deep contradictions between civil and military officials.

Civil officials can't get used to the rudeness of military generals, and military generals can't see the sourness of civil officials. Especially now during the Hongwu period, the first three cases almost all happened on the side of civil officials, which made the generals even more arrogant.

Such things as corruption and bribery, how could it be possible that only civil servants have it, and there are not a few military officers who do this, even more blatantly than civil servants, at least civil servants still have some scruples about saving face.

But that's it, the pressure of corruption and bribery seems to have all been given to the civil servants.

In Huagai Palace.

"Dasun, you really did a good job with this move. It's just that we didn't expect that Lan Yu would listen to Dasun's words so much. What kind of ecstasy soup are you pouring into him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

Zhu Ying said with a smile: "Although Lan Yu is already the official position of a general, but in fact she has the true nature of the world in her heart, the most important thing is loyalty, righteousness is the first word, and she must do her part.

"This kind of people is different from many civil servants when it comes to money. They spend all their money just for fun."

"Grandson is not completely talking about it. He has already promised that if Lan Yu joins the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, it will be regarded as compensation for him to hand over the land."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care much about money or anything else. Land is the root of everything and the key to ensuring the lives of grassroots people.

If most of the common people can eat a full mouthful of food, the Ming Dynasty of Lao Zhu's family can naturally be passed on in the long run.

"We heard that you, grandson, are at the chamber of commerce recently. You seem to be doing well. You have made a lot of money. We heard the report. It is said that the scene is a rare sight for the capital."

"It made our hearts a little bit moved. If it didn't happen that you, the eldest grandson, went to court that day, we would really have to join in the fun."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang still cared very much about the development of commerce. When commerce flourished, Ming's economy would naturally become stronger, and these were inseparable.

Zhu Yuanzhang is ruthless as a profiteer, and now he also has a lot of support for Zheng Ce, a businessman. The tax is one for thirty, which is pitifully low.

Zhu Ying also introduced with a smile: "The business development here in the capital is still very good, especially in the area of ​​people's livelihood. The promotional activity that Suner organized this time is to dump a large number of products at a lower price than usual."

"Basically all the inventory has been cleared out. In the commercial area, the key is circulation. Many big families have the habit of hiding money. This is not a good thing for the business."

"Only by finding a way to let them spend all their money can our business in Daming flourish, so that the common people can have more job opportunities instead of being limited to eating in the soil."

"The annexation of the land is still very serious at present, but now with Sapphire taking the lead, the land can be slowly recovered in the future."

"It's just that you have to think more about rewarding land. It's better to reward more gold, silver, jewelry, mansions and courtyards, and it's impossible to reward too much land."

"If you reward a big house, you will need a lot of servants to take care of it. This will give some poor people a way out."

Hearing Dasun's words, Zhu Yuanzhang would ponder and ask: "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 imperial court, and they can also be rented to farmers. In addition to the food production brought by crops such as sweet potatoes, a large amount of labor will be transferred from the fields. was liberated."

"The most important thing is to deal with natural disasters. My grandson looked up the historical classics 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, but after communicating with overseas fan merchants, it was confirmed that this was the case not only in the Central Plains, but also in foreign countries tens of thousands of miles away. "

"The whole world seems to be undergoing a great change. My grandson has carefully studied it. It seems that every year the winter is constantly extending, and it may last for many years."

Hearing Dasun talking about this, Zhu Yuanzhang also began to frown slightly.

In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, almost all the first batch of Qin Tianjian were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The most important reason is Qin Tianjian's divination.

The result of the divination is unknown, but it made Zhu Yuanzhang furious.

Now hearing Dasun's words, Zhu Yuanzhang realized that he seemed to have killed the wrong person back then.

These thoughts flashed through Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, and then he asked the grandson: "It seems that the frequent outbreaks of natural disasters are such a scene in the whole world. relationship."

Zhu Ying nodded and said: "That's the case, the Tao is merciless, and it will never change because of changes in people's hearts. There is a saying in ancient times, 800 years is spring, and 800 years is autumn."

"According to my grandson, the whole world seems to be starting to move towards winter like a cycle of seasons. Maybe it will be like this in the next few decades, or even hundreds of years, or even worse."

Zhu Ying was also quite tired of saying this to the old man, and had been thinking about it for a long time in her mind.

If you directly talk about the Little Ice Age, it will easily create the feeling of the Arabian Nights. At present, Zhu Ying can only make the old man understand it to a certain extent.

Judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion, the effect is still good.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang also understands why Dasun cares more about business. The deep meaning of this is to let more people have the ability to withstand natural disasters.

If it is all based on a few acres of fertile land, once a natural disaster strikes, the family's wealth will be wiped out, and there will be no way to get up and eat.

"We probably understand what the grandson said. In the future, we will set rules to limit the land rewards, and slowly withdraw them. As for the treasures, we will also slowly put them down."

"In case we have just finished printing, Dasun will take away all these treasures and turn around and burn them all for us."

Speaking of the latter, Zhu Yuanzhang's tone of ridicule was very strong.

It was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang had seen such a thing as burning the banknotes of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, he also began to understand Dasun's good intentions.

With regard to the concept of reserves, it can be regarded as a thorough understanding now. Now that the value of Daming treasures has been greatly devalued, Zhu Yuanzhang also understands the current situation.

"Can tricks like Dasun be used throughout Daming, and used many times?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

The amount of Daming Treasure Banknotes burned by Dasun really moved Zhu Yuanzhang, and the profits in it were simply too exaggerated.

One day's income is almost equal to nearly half of Daming's annual income. This is only one day, and it is only within the scope of the capital.

The money came too fast, too easy to earn.

This is what the grandson did. If it were someone else, the current Zhu Yuanzhang would have been heartbroken.

This is even more terrifying than Shen Wansan's. In the long run, he is truly rich and invincible.

Zhu Ying shook her head and explained, "It's not possible. The reason for the success this time is mainly because it's the first event, so it aroused a lot of interest."

"Furthermore, with the current large-scale dumping of various commodities, many households have already purchased in full, and the desire to buy in a short period of time will not be very strong. The effect produced by the second time is definitely not as good as the first time."

"The key is to make the overall commercial economy prosperous. If there are too many, people will not feel much."

Speaking of this, Zhu Ying paused for a moment, and then said: "Sun Er estimates that many merchants will be extremely jealous of the benefits obtained this time. Currently, there are areas where such activities can be held."

"Besides the capital, there are only Su and Song."

"In order to prevent other businessmen from following suit, my grandson wants to ask my grandfather to amend the relevant laws. Holding such activities is very likely to cause a large number of people to gather and cause great chaos."

"At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent other businessmen from taking the opportunity to join forces and fish in troubled waters."

As far as the current market is concerned, monopoly is a must.

At present, the Department of Public Security in Su and Song has already deployed. Before Zhu Ying is full, how can he allow other people to take a bite of the fat.

Especially for some businessmen who love to speculate, only curbing it from the government level will be effective.

Being able to gather so much wealth in chaotic places like the frontiers of the Ming Dynasty and the deserts of the Western Regions.

Zhu Ying has never been a kind person, and when it's time to make a move, he will not be lenient.
