The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 305 Literati's Mouth, Deceiving Ghost

Everyone only sees how powerful Jin Yiwei is, but few people know how pervasive they are in terms of intelligence.

The formally woven Jinyiwei is just an appearance, under which there are many unknown branches.

As a direct subordinate of the emperor, controlling such a huge power, there are really a lot of talents in it.

At least for now, most of Daming's translation work is done by Jin Yiwei.

But for all countries that pay tribute, even if they are remote or even unheard of in the Western Regions, they can find corresponding translators on the side of Jin Yiwei.

This is the real Jinyiwei.

Even many deaf-mute and disabled people are the dark lines of Jin Yiwei.

Not only the Ministry of Households pays for Jinyiwei's salary, but Zhu Yuanzhang's internal funds also have a large amount of funds for Jinyiwei's expenses every year, so that the huge expenses of Jinyiwei can be maintained.

In the early morning of the next day, the Daming Palace was in the hall.

Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang enjoyed breakfast together.

The day's plan lies in the morning. At present, Zhu Yuanzhang's breakfast has become more and more rich because of the addition of the cook brought by Zhu Ying.

But today, while eating breakfast, Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Jiang Yu's detailed records of Liu Sanwu and others on the Qinhuai River last night.

"These literati know how to think of themselves all day long, and have never cared about others. This guy Liu Sanwu is already seventy years old, and he is still making trouble here."

"Could it be that we have forgotten the lessons of the previous two years. If it weren't for the fact that he has a certain talent and reputation, we would have let him go down."

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a cold voice after listening.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when the upper class was established, they were all illiterate, and there were not many people who could use it.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to it. In the 18th year of Hongwu, even Liu Sanwu was 73 years old, and he was given an official position.

In terms of literary attainments, Liu Sanwu was impeccable, and he was a master himself. At that time, the rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty were lacking, and all the rituals and the three selections were published by Liu Sanwu.

In charge of the compilation tasks of "Cunxinlu", "Provincial Gonglu", "Shuzhuanhuixuan", "Huanyu Tongzhi", "Ritual System Collection".

Both Zhu Yuanzhang's "Da Gao" and "Hong Fan Zhu" were prefaced by Liu Sanwu.

Together with Wang Rui and Zhu Shan, they were called the "Three Elders".

In the 17th year of Hongwu, Wang Rui died of a recurrence of his old illness.

Zhu Shan is a national surname, but he has nothing to do with Zhu Yuanzhang. He was promoted to a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion in the 18th year of Hongwu.

So the current Hanlin Academy is naturally dominated by Liu Sanwu's family.

The 80-year-old Liu Sanwu can be said to be the spiritual leader of the entire literary world, and he is also the oldest.

Even if the ministers of various ministries saw Liu Sanwu, they had to salute and call him Mr. Liu Sanwu.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was resolute and decisive in killing, would not kill Liu Sanwu casually.

At least there has to be a legitimate reason.

Even in Hongwu's 30-year north-south list case, Zhu Yuanzhang still found out the old case of Liu Sanwu's letter to Hu Weiyong complaining of grievances, and entered Lanyu's "remaining party".

They didn't kill them after that, they were just dispatched to the northwest.

After Zhu Yunwen came to power, he was recalled to the capital, but because of his age and exhaustion, he finally died.

After listening, Zhu Ying said: "Actually, what they said is not bad. In terms of military pay, it is indeed a big problem. Even if sweet potatoes and other crops are promoted, like the current 36 guards in the capital, it is difficult to quickly spread them throughout Daming. Promote."

"Grandpa's guard system is currently the best solution for Daming."

"We still have to wait for the treasury to become rich and have more income before we can slowly carry out the restructuring."

There are still a lot of smart people in Ming Dynasty, especially Liu Sanwu, a great Confucian from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, who has seen too many things.

Earlier, Liu Sanwu was in the Yuan Dynasty and was also the vice-president of Jingjiang Road in Guangxi.

It is also very clear about military matters.

In fact, Zhu Ying is also very clear now that it is only here in the capital that can support such a large consumption of soldiers, and to a large extent, it is Daming's face.

It is impossible to have such treatment in another place.

"What does Dasun think about them? I think he is waiting to make trouble later."

"If grandson feels that he can't control it, then let us be the villain."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Liu Sanwu is not moving.

Because the influence is too great, especially for the monarch, the pen of the literati can kill without blood.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself doesn't matter, one is that he is famous enough that he doesn't need to worry about these things, and the other is that he is old, even if there are some cruel methods, the literati will bear it.

Endure and wait until the next emperor ascends the throne.

But Dasun is different.

Too young, if you show too ruthless means when you don't have a high position, it will make the literati in the world too jealous.

The imbalance of civil and military officials is also very unfavorable to Daming.

Hearing the old man's question, Zhu Ying thought for a while and said, "Then grandson can only have a debate with him in the court hall."

"Their purpose is to worry about the status of the literati. They are afraid that the status of the warriors will be too high and they will be suppressed. The grandson's military parade is just a point, not the key point."

"As long as you can be appeased in this regard, there is actually no big problem. After all, this world is under the big tomorrow, not the world of scholar-bureaucrats."

Hearing Dasun's decisive tone, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Dasun is right, these literati, we just can't get used to them, sometimes we have a headache with them."

"It's not easy to kill. These literati are quite brainy. It depends on whether Dasun can subdue them."

When Zhu Ying heard this, she smiled and said nothing.

Debating this.

He really didn't worry about it. In his previous life, he relied on his mouth for food. If he didn't even have this ability, how could he lead his disciples.

Soon, it will be morning time.

There has been no court meeting for three consecutive days, and it seems that the officials are not used to it.

Due to the canonization ceremony, officials from many places went to the capital to report on their work, and they were listening to these reports for nearly an hour at the beginning of the early dynasty.

After the end here, Bai Xinju coughed lightly at the Civilian Hanlin Academy, and under the expectant eyes of his colleagues, he went out of the shift and said: "Your Majesty, I have a performance."

Bai Xinwu is still very smart. For things like this, naturally he would not prepare the playbook in advance. If it involves grandchildren, he must be more cautious.

"Precise play."

Zhu Yuanzhang replied, and then glanced at the grandson.

Zhu Ying's face was calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.

After bowing to each other, Bai Xin said in a respectful voice: "Three days ago, I watched His Royal Highness Grandson's military parade. I was very touched and sighed in my heart. The majesty of this army is actually rare in ancient and modern times. Such an elite army and strong general show off my great power. .”

"I was shocked by the strength of Daming in my heart, and at the same time, I also thought in my heart, what kind of training is it to train such an elite soldier."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying narrowed her eyes slightly.

This eloquence is good, it is an opponent.

If they hadn't known their intentions before, it was really possible to be brought in. It seemed to be praised, but in fact it was just the beginning of praise.

Bai Xinwu's words also won the approval of many officials, and he nodded subconsciously.

Seeing that the results were good, Bai Xindao became more confident in his speech, and continued: "It just so happens that my nephew, my cousin, happened to be in the ranks of the military parade."

"Because I was curious, I asked him why, and then I learned that the soldiers I saw on the day of the military parade had been practicing every day before that."

"These drills are not as difficult as the previous drills. Generally, the slightly older soldiers can't bear it at all. This is why there are almost no veterans in the soldiers seen on the day of the military parade."

"I didn't think much about it at the time, so I entertained my nephew for dinner, but during the meal, my nephew made me a little unhappy."

"Weichen's family was already poor. When my nephew came, I slaughtered the old hen with pain and tears, thinking that my nephew had worked so hard to make up for his body."

"Unexpectedly, after my cousin saw the food, he stopped chopsticks after just a few bites. At first, I thought that my cousin might have a bad appetite, but what happened next shocked me a little."

"After some questioning, I finally learned that my nephew's meal in the army can be said to have shocked the minister's jaw. Not only is there a lot of fish and meat, but the taste is better than that of the restaurant in the capital. .”

"This also led to the cousin not wanting to take a bath at all, but just staying in the barracks."

"Hearing this, how can I be trusted? Your Majesty will not give up. I am a Bachelor of the Imperial Academy, from the third rank, and my cousin is no more than a small banner in the army."

"After this comparison, I am particularly surprised."

"Afterwards, after my cousin told me, I gradually believed that the current military does have such treatment."

"Furthermore, during the busy season of autumn harvest and busy farming, none of the guards and soldiers of the capital who participated in the military parade went to the fields, but practiced uninterruptedly."

"Afterwards, I calculated in my mind, according to how my cousin and nephew are treated, what a huge expenditure should be the military salary of the 36 guards in the capital of the Ming Dynasty."

"In the past few years, natural disasters have continued, the people have suffered unspeakably, countless people have starved to death, and what's more, they have changed their children to eat, and the bark has been gnawed off for thousands of miles."

"The imperial court's food is also stretched. The local government still needs to borrow food to survive the crisis. Even so, many people starved to death."

"Nowadays the world is at peace, the war is over, and some sporadic turmoil is nothing to worry about. Under such circumstances, I think it is a big taboo to spend so much money on the military salary."

"Your Majesty, please take back the current treatment in the capital's army, and use the money for the common people."

"Since I was young, my family was poor, so I know how much a gift it is to have a mouthful of porridge in the midst of famine."

After finishing speaking, Bai Xindao kneeled and kowtowed, his forehead touched the ground, and said no more.

Sensible Heat has made up his mind, and must let this matter get a reply from His Majesty.

Under these passionate and indignant remarks, many officials felt something, especially the ranks of civil servants, and many of them felt jealous.

With such a low salary for officials, even officials who made a fortune would not dare to spend extravagantly, let alone entertain guests wantonly.

Some high-ranking officials in the capital can only eat meat in a sneaky way. Now that they hear that some soldiers in the army are eating fish and meat, they suddenly feel unbalanced.

Immediately, the entire hall became noisy.

Correspondingly, on the side of the military attache, the mood became a little agitated.

The treatment of the soldiers, especially the soldiers on the military parade, is known in the Five Armies Commander's Mansion.

And I am very excited to have such treatment.

Because this is the decree of His Highness Taisun, it shows that His Highness Taisun attaches great importance to warriors.

Many officials, such as Minister of the Ministry of War, and Ru Yuan, who recommended Liu Sanwu, are naturally clear.

But they all knew that this was what His Royal Highness Taisun meant.

His Royal Highness, but the future Emperor of Ming, no one wants to offend him in this regard, even if they know it, it's as if they don't know it.

Zhao Mian, Minister of the Household Department, was even more indifferent.

Because the money spent by the parade soldiers did not go through the Ministry of Accounts at all, so he was too lazy to meddle in other people's business.

The money is all spent through the palace's internal funds, and he has no control over how the royal family's own money is used.

"Da Sun, I don't know your explanation for this matter."

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, contrary to the expectations of Bai Xinwu, Liu Sanwu and others, not only did not have much reaction, but instead questioned His Royal Highness Taisun.

Zhu Ying bowed and said, "Grandpa, grandson is indeed in charge of this military parade, but unlike what Xueshi Bai said, all the money here is paid by grandson himself."

"Actually, it's not from Sun'er himself. Speaking of this, I can't help but talk about the Qunying Chamber of Commerce under Sun'er's name."

"Because the intensity of the training is too high, if the soldiers don't have a good diet, their bodies will definitely not be able to bear it."

"Military parade is the most important thing for my Ming Dynasty. Naturally, we must protect the health of the soldiers. The chamber of commerce strongly supports this. The big fish and meat that Xueshi Bai said is not the standard equipment for the soldiers, but the support of the chamber of commerce."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Bai Xindao below: "Scholar Bai still has something to say, get up and answer."

After Bai Xindao stood up and made a bow, he replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the chamber of commerce under His Royal Highness Taisun naturally belongs to the royal family, and the world will be dominated by His Majesty and His Highness Taisun."

"This chamber of commerce should also be the royal chamber of commerce. If so, there is no distinction between inside and outside."

"Thus, in my opinion, the money of the Chamber of Commerce, that is, the money of His Highness the Grandson, should also be the money of the Ming treasury. It should not be used in this way. Relief for the people is the kingly way."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his originally calm expression almost made him laugh. Instead of asking his grandson, he said to Bai Xinwu: "According to what Xueshi Bai said, should all our money be given to disaster relief?" Just do it."

"Then according to what you said, the salaries of the hundreds of officials in the court should be reduced, and all of them should be used for disaster relief, which is the kingly way you said!"
