The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Naturally, Di Yusen didn't believe everything Liu Renxiang said.

And Liu Renxiang himself, of course, did not tell the truth.

22 years have passed, everyone related to Hu Xiang is dead, and he is still alive, so who can identify him.

There is one thing that no one knows except Liu Renxiang.

His ancestral home was in Hangzhou. Because of the war, his family was destroyed and his family was destroyed, leaving him alone, and he was only ten years old at the time.

Originally, he was starving to death, but he happened to meet Hu Weiyong, so he was rewarded with a bite of food and did some chores.

Later, my uncle got in touch and left Hu Weiyong's place.

For Hu Weiyong, it was just a matter of convenience, but for Liu Renxiang, it was a grace of life.

When Hu Weiyong saw that he was still literate, he gave him Ben so that he could study hard and serve the country.

Since then, he has vowed to work hard.

God rewards those who work hard, and the starlight pays off for passers-by.

Whether it is the children's examination or the rural examination, he is among the top three.

It was just bad luck, and Zhu Yuanzhang canceled the test that year.

In the capital, he did go to Hu Weiyong's mansion, but not to seek an official, but to study.

Naturally, there was no such thing as being kicked out of the mansion, but Hu Xiang told him to continue studying hard, and the imperial examination would definitely be reopened in the near future.

At that time, Hu Weiyong had too many things to deal with, so it was impossible to accept any students.

Although Hu Weiyong himself has some talents, but after all, he didn't study systematically when he was a child, so there is no need to be a teacher.

Until, Hu Weiyong was bestowed to death.

'Teacher, he is not treasonous. ,
Looking at the back of Di Yusen leaving, Liu Renxiang's eyes became cold.

Open your palm slightly, you can see the calluses on the palm.

He is not a powerless literati. He has learned martial arts since he was a child. After Hu Xiang was gifted to death 22 years ago, he practiced even harder.

He is the only one living in the house, just because the house is just his cover.

'Zhu Yuanzhang, I failed to kill you this time, just wait, there will always be a chance. ,
'But since everyone has started to suspect me, it seems that they will stop for a while recently. ,
'It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in 30 years. ,
Liu Renxiang also felt a little helpless in his heart, how difficult it was to assassinate, it was impossible for him to conspire with other people.

Especially among the people, he once inquired in private and found that those so-called quack killers had rave reviews for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Furthermore, it is impossible to spend money to find assassins.

What kind of price would allow people to assassinate the Ming emperor.

This is not something that can be done by one or two people.

Hou Zijian was his pawn, and he used Hou Zijian's loyalty to Jiang Xiahou to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang.

'Unfortunately, that trash, why is it so useless, so many people passed by, but they didn't kill him, and didn't even hurt him. ,
"Trash, all trash, killers of Shanxi merchants, and what about dead men." ,
Thinking of this, Liu Renxiang's teeth itch with anger.

Hou Zijian was a wave, and the Shanxi merchants were another wave.

Over the years, Liu Renxiang secretly contacted all those who were dissatisfied with Daming, but to no avail.Taxes in the Jiangnan area are high, and it can be said that officials and nobles have a solid foundation, live comfortably, and are less courageous.

It was also because of the rumor case last year that His Royal Highness Taisun hunted and killed Shanxi merchants, which gave him an opportunity.

Unfortunately, in the end it was useless.

Zhu Yuanzhang, I'm not in a hurry, I'm only forty, you are already 66, when you die, when the Ming Dynasty is passed on, it will be my chance. ,
"A gentleman's revenge, ten. Thirty years is not too late, let me see how long you can live." ,
'So what if we wait another ten years. ,
I want you to be under the Nine Springs, and you will not rest in peace!
Liu Renxiang's eyes were slowly filled with hatred. In fact, he didn't expect so much at first. It was the changes in the capital that gave him new heights and desires in his heart.

The more prosperous the capital became, the more unwilling he became in his heart.

He always felt that all of this was based on Hu Xiang's corpse.

'One day, I'm going to make you pay. ,
Liu Renxiang roared crazily in his heart.

After roaring, he tightly closed his eyes, opened them after a while, and recovered his previous calm.

In the days to come, he will completely forget what he has done before, and be the head of the official department properly.

The murder case in the capital and the assassination of His Majesty were quickly forgotten by the common people in this rapidly developing era.

After all, these things are too far away for the people and businessmen living in the capital.

The riches and oils and salts after opening the door every morning are what we need today.

In her previous life, Zhu Ying had heard about the art of controlling the people with 33 taels of silver. In fact, the current Ming Dynasty, under Zhu Yuanzhang's system, also has a little bit of this bias.

This is stable for a dynasty.

But for the current era, it is an obstacle.

The Western Renaissance was in the fourteenth century, the so-called fourteenth century, that is, 300 BC.

Today's Daming is at the end of the fourteenth century.

In other words, it means that the germination of the Western Renaissance has begun.

An invisible civilization competition between the East and the West has already begun.

Zhu Ying didn't know whether his Ming Dynasty would continue to prosper after a hundred years, or whether it would continue for another two or three hundred years.

But even if it is Guozuo that lasts for two or 300 years, what's the point?

Even without the Manchu Qing, if the current system continues, the Ming Dynasty will be just another Manchu Qing.

So, change, really change.

Only the rapid development of industrialization can make the national power of Ming Dynasty continuously rise, and can avoid the tragedy of history from repeating itself again.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ying began to pay close attention to the current factory development of the capital.

Now the factories in the capital are basically controlled by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, and Zhu Ying has begun to consciously guide the development of non-governmental organizations.

As for the treatment of workers, Zhu Ying also pays attention to it.

Obviously, although there are regulations, those factories that open still exploit with a black conscience.

"One month's worth of money, how did they make it? Do they want to treat me as nothing in the law of Ming Dynasty?"

"All officials involved in it, don't let go, strictly investigate and deal with it."

Seeing Song Zhong handing over the information about the current trade union, Zhu Yingqi didn't say anything.

He exhorted and exhorted thousands of times, just to ensure the treatment of workers.

At least the basic standards need to be given.

According to the current quota of the factory, even the cheapest monthly money would require four banknotes.

Food prices are relatively stable at present. For a simple family of three, the monthly ration needs about three guanchao. If there are elderly people, the four guanchao can only be just right.

Of course, this is based on the fact that there is only one man who bears the burden. Most of them generally have several children under the condition of encouraging fertility, and the elderly can share the burden.

Women can also do a little work to supplement their household expenses, so every family will have a little surplus every month.

These surpluses are the confidence of a family. If you encounter any illness or the like, you don't have to worry too much.

The development of medicine in Daming is relatively reliable. The price of many medicinal materials is very low, even in the homes of ordinary people, they can afford it and will not be easily dragged down.

At present, achieving this level is already Zhu Ying's limit. This is because of the continuous development of high-yield crops, which has solved the famine in many places and ensured the food and clothing of most Baixin.

But Yiguanchao, not to mention supporting a family, is not enough for one person's rations.

"Your Highness, according to the current coordination of the household department, the shopkeepers of those factories are actually paid out in full monthly money, but after the monthly money has been paid layer by layer, there is not much left."

"However, in the case of payment like this, only half a year's monthly payment is like this. After half a year, it will slowly rise back."

"After a full year of work, the monthly money will become a four-peat note."

Song Zhong added.

Zhu Ying sneered: "Then where did the other three-pass banknotes go?"

Song Zhong replied: "There are two banknotes in the hands of the Yaren, and the other part is the tool fee that the factory needs to pay, and the deduction of the clothing fee."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying smiled.

Sure enough, some of the deduction methods in later generations are not original. Even if they are separated by thousands of years, when there are loopholes that can be exploited, they will still be exploited.

This has nothing to do with the degree of civilization, and it has nothing to do with the degree of education.

It's all about greed.

"Order, Yaren is forbidden to collect monthly money from workers. All the tools and clothing that the factory needs to buy according to the rules should be borne by the factory itself, and no money should be collected from workers."

"In addition, you go tell Uncle Zhang and let him take the lead in establishing a labor union."

"All monthly payments should be supervised by the workers' union, but any delays, deductions, and any form of asking workers to pay any fees must be severely punished."

"Which trade union breaks the rules, the trade union will be fined, and the total monthly payment owed and withheld will be punished ten times."

When Song Zhong heard the words, he bowed immediately and replied, "I would like to follow His Highness's order."

After Song Zhong left, Zhu Ying began to meditate.

Now with the development of industry and commerce, the personnel in the household department have begun to become a little nervous.

And at the same time as the rise, many micro-corruption phenomena have also begun to become more serious.

It's not the kind of corruption that directly helps others, but some subtleties.

Take a little here, a little there, and when the money is not visible, it will be taken away.

And now many officials of the Ministry of Households can't stand the temptation of huge interests. With the interest in business, the stimulation of consumption is getting higher and higher.

The salaries of the officials themselves are just hovering on the line of food and clothing, and the businessmen with a little bit of brains have begun to feast on every meal.

Such a gap has caused the unwillingness of the officials.

The people below are living better than this leader, how can this be tolerated.

Han Chuang earned fame through studying hard, but lived a tight life, eating pickles by himself while watching others eat meat.

Coupled with the power in his hands, this is obviously a bit deformed.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ying felt that some things could be changed.

That night, Zhu Ying came to Qianqing Palace and chatted with the old man about the restructuring.

There is also the issue of raising official salaries.

"What Dasun said is indeed the current situation. It should also be implemented to increase the salaries of officials."

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the grandson's introduction, he thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

The previous restrictions on officials' salaries were due to the fact that Ming's treasury was very tight.

In addition, once there is a famine, food relief from the imperial court is needed, so what can be saved, naturally all must be saved.

Things have changed now.

This year's summer grain collection alone has completely exceeded Daming's annual revenue last year, and this double increase will obviously be even higher when taxes are collected in autumn.

The tax input of business is also a very large part now, and under the management of Dasun, it is liquidated once a quarter.

According to calculations, nearly 300 million banknotes are put into the warehouse every month.

In this way, there will be more than 3000 million banknotes a year.

In the past, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty had to issue 2000 million treasure banknotes every year to maintain its operation. Now not only do they not need to be issued, but there are still surpluses that can be recycled.

In fact, as a country, the annual income is a positive number, which is the foundation of long-term stability.

Otherwise, they will lose money every year, and even the salaries and military salaries of officials and soldiers will not be paid out later, which is a huge hidden danger. Once there is any problem, it will be a shock to the national fortune.

"How much does Dasun want to increase the salaries of officials at all levels?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Ying thought for a while and replied: "Increase by [-]%."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned a little: "Thirty percent will be a little less."

Zhu Ying explained: "What Sun Er means is that for officials, the promotion should not all be reflected in the salary."

"The grandson's idea is that some other benefits, or rewards, can be added."

"For example, if an official is not late for a month, he can receive a certain reward."

"For example, on the food side, a separate canteen is set up in each yamen. All the food, wine and meat in the canteen are provided by the imperial court. This solves the problem of officials eating."

"Including the distribution of new clothes every quarter, the offspring of officials can study in schools set up by the imperial court for free, and all the money spent on injuries and illnesses, whether serious or minor, will be borne by the imperial court."

"The purpose is not to increase the salary, but to ensure the living needs of the officials more comprehensively. In this way, my grandson thinks, it can be regarded as truly making those upright officials more interested in serving the court."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he immediately felt that this idea was good.

The welfare benefits are guaranteed, and the officials are not focused on money, so that good officials can be truly raised.
