I want to be a grandson

Chapter 513 Zhu Yuanzhang's Dislike
"Furthermore, the casting of Ming silver coins still needs to be approved by the emperor's grandfather. If the old man does not nod, this matter can only be shelved for the time being..."

Zhu Yunxi's slow words settled the matter, so that no one dared to refute it!

The fire consumption is [-]%, and the emperor monopolizes half!
Although the courtiers were slightly dissatisfied with this, they did not dare to say any more.

Because although Zhu Yunxi did not use the name of "forbidden to use silver", in fact, the silver coins of the Ming Dynasty were using silver.

To put it lightly, this is called reform, and to put it more seriously, it is called a violation of the "ancestral system" established by Zhu Yuanzhang, but it is risky.

If the emperor is not fed, he will not give up. If such a good national policy cannot be implemented because of such a petty profit, it will be a big loss!
So even if you are unwilling, you can only admit it with your nose!

So what if you don't recognize it?
The courtiers were also helpless when they encountered a powerful emperor.

"Your Majesty, what should Li Jie do with the Ministry of Rites...?"

Back in Jinshen Hall, as soon as Zhu Yunxi sat down, Jiang Yu ran up to him and asked anxiously.

Jin Yiwei also served as a guard and became a general of the Han Dynasty. When he was on duty in the Hall of Martial Arts, Jiang Yu willingly stood guard on duty in order to show his face in front of the new army.

He naturally heard everything that happened in the Hall of Martial Heroes. As for Li Jie who wanted to give the local government the right to mint coins, he naturally knew that His Majesty had something wrong in his mind, so he took the opportunity to speak out.

"Li Jie...what did he say?"

Jiang Yu was overjoyed when he heard the words, which means that he made the right move this time, and His Majesty is really ready to let it go!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Li Jie comes from the Li family in Hua'an County, Zhangzhou, Fujian Province. The Li family has been officials for generations since the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties. There are thirteen officials in the family who have gone abroad. The highest is the governor of Guangxi Province in the Yuan Dynasty... "

"Oh... so I was born in a family of officials..." Zhu Yunxi nodded.

"Your Majesty, among the members of the Li family who serve as officials in the Ming Dynasty, there are Li Quan who is the magistrate of Fuzhou, Jiangxi, and Li Qiang, the magistrate of Putian County, Fujian..."

"The two of them did some things during their tenure, but their qualifications were mediocre and they didn't have any outstanding achievements. Therefore, in the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials, they only rated one of the top...

Li Jie is in charge of the ministry of rites, and he is proud of his talents. Most people can't catch his eyes. Although he is good in learning, he is a dead book.

He has neither real ability nor anything to praise, but he has some reputation among Qingliu..."

Zhu Yunxi knew that Jiang Yu was exaggerating. If Li Jie was just an embroidered pillow without any real talents, he would not be able to serve as the teacher of the sixth subject.

The reason why Jiang Yu said that was to make it easier for him to deal with it.

But he didn't expose it, and continued to listen to Jiang Yu's report.

Jiang Yu not only had a clear idea of ​​Li Jie's situation, but also the situation of the two brothers in his family.

Zhu Yunxi ordered: "Check to see if Li Jie has colluded with others, and don't let the courtiers of Ming Dynasty be used by others, if not..."

Turning to Wang Zhong again, he said, "Remember, he will only be an official. Send him to a local office to benefit the people of one side."

"Yes, my servant (servant) obeys!"

Jiang Yu and Wang Zhong answered in unison.

Zhu Yunxi didn't say anything, reached out to pick up the memorial on the table, and began to deal with government affairs again.

As for Li Jie, he must deal with it!
If he hadn't committed any crimes, and hadn't colluded with thieves, that's all, and he could be exempted from prison.

However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven.

Since he has the courage to open his mouth to compete with himself for the right to mint coins, it means that he is not standing in the court, but in the place.

He represents local interests!

Don't think that the chief ministers and the imperial court are [-]% of one mind. Since rights are involved, there is no dispute.

Because most of the places are composed of aristocratic families, wealthy families, or at least middle-class families. Because they can afford books, it means that the family background is not too bad.

The gentry and gentry will only represent their own interests.

The right to mint silver coins is in the hands of the imperial court, how could they not want to get a piece of the action!

However, Zhu Yunxi will never give in on this matter. Currency is the cornerstone of the empire, and no one can get involved!
To deal with Li Jie is to warn some people not to stretch their hands too far.

Besides, when the new king succeeds to the throne, he must also establish his majesty!

Maybe many people don't know the emperor's temper or his behavior style, so they will do some things to test repeatedly,
And this kind of temptation will deepen step by step, touching their bottom line little by little, and they will not stop until one day they cause a rebound.

So I have to tell them that I am not to be messed with!
Otherwise, once they smell the blood and realize that they are a fat lamb with no resistance, they will pounce on it...

Therefore, regardless of whether Li Jie is guilty or not, he must be punished!

Now that you are the emperor, don't think about leaving a good reputation with everyone, especially the gentry class.

Zhu Yuanzhang was scolded by many people in history, especially the scholars who were officials and butchers scolded him the most, but this did not hinder his prestige among the people in the slightest.
It doesn't affect his status in history at all!
As an emperor, when is he praised by scholars, he will not be far from a faint king...

After lunch, I took a nap.

After waking up, I feel full of energy, full of vitality, and feel happy.

Zhu Yunxie reviewed the memorial for a while in Jinshen Hall, and he didn't put down the pen until his wrist felt a little sore.

He stood up and moved his body, thinking of going to the Dashan Hall, he beckoned people to walk over.

Originally there was a luan car, and there were also sedan chairs to sit in, but he wanted to walk and exercise his muscles, so he didn't make any preparations.

"Where is Grandpa Huang, why don't you see his old man?"

When they came to the Dashan Hall, Zhu Yunxi asked.

After seeing the ceremony, the eunuch of the Shangshan Supervisor, Nie, replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor is planting vegetables in the vegetable garden, and Eunuch Qing is waiting for him. The servant has prepared bird's nest and lotus seed soup, and is about to serve it..."

And Nie had to explain it, otherwise the emperor would feel that the emperor had abdicated, and his servants would not have to care about him, so that's fine!
"Well, I'm sorry, Grandpa Huang will be served by you, so I can rest assured."

"The eunuchs in the maidservant's palace, it is a slaveservant's blessing to serve the Supreme Emperor."

"Well, I also want to see how Grandpa Huang's vegetables are growing. Let's go together with my father-in-law."

And Nie is the eunuch of Shangshan Supervisor, who was originally Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant, a high position among the inner officials, and has followed Zhu Yuanzhang for many years.

So even Zhu Yunxi had to be more polite to them, treating them with courtesy.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened a vegetable field on the west side of the Dashan Hall, where he digs and loosens the soil when he is free. During this period of time, he sorted out a vegetable garden of nearly two mu of land.

"Slaves see Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Holy Ann!"

Standing by the side of the vegetable garden, Qingtong, the eunuch and eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, hurriedly saluted Zhu Yunxie when he saw Zhu Yunxie approaching.

"Eunuch Qing, don't be too polite, how long has Grandpa Huang been busy?"

Qingtong bowed and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has been busy for half an hour... No matter how much I can persuade the servants, I can't persuade the Supreme Emperor. If I want to help, the Supreme Emperor will not allow me, so the servants stood aside eagerly, or Your Majesty Please advise..."

Knowing his worry, Zhu Yunxi smiled relievedly and said, "It's okay, the emperor's body is strong, more activities are also good, you don't have to worry...

Grandpa Huang is old now, if he was young, I am afraid that the open space in the palace would be turned into a vegetable garden or crops for him..."

"Your Majesty is really sure. Yesterday, the Supreme Emperor also said that the vegetable garden is too small and needs to be expanded, hehe..."

Zhu Yunxi walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang and saw that he was removing weeds with a small shovel in his hand.

Then he said: "Grandfather, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your vegetable garden is getting bigger again. If it continues to expand like this, you don't need to buy vegetables for the palace. You can just come to your garden and pull them."

Zhu Yuanzhang was dressed in bunt casual clothes and was extremely capable. He looked up at him, then continued weeding and said, "Why are you here? The government affairs have been dealt with?"

"There's a little left, not much, my grandson is so tired of correcting the memorials that I feel dizzy, so I came here specially to Grandpa Huang to refresh my mind and sober up."

As he said that, he squatted down and stretched out his hands to pull up the grass on the ground. It was still spring, and the grass in the ground was very delicate and not thorny.

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly pushed his hand aside, and said with a look of disgust: "Will you grow crops? Weeding must be pulled out by the roots, so that it will be completely removed, and no grass will grow anymore.

You squeezed it with your hands, and the roots are in the soil, and they will grow back in two days. Isn't this a useless effort, and the grass roots will compete with the vegetable seedlings for fertility. If you do this, you are not doing it...

It’s okay for you to be an emperor, but it’s too bad to be a farmer…”

"Uh……"

Zhu Yunxi was so deflated that he was so choked that he couldn't speak...

This old man, don’t be ignorant of your blessings,

If this is put in later generations, which junior will accompany the elders to work in the fields in order to get close to the elderly?

"Who said I can't do farm work, Qingtong, do you still have a shovel? Give me one. I'll show some people today. Not only can I be an emperor, but I can also farm as a commoner!"

Qingtong held back his smile, not daring to laugh out loud.

Only Your Majesty dares to be so relaxed and comfortable in front of the Supreme Emperor...

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not refute, Qingtong hurriedly called to the little eunuch who was serving beside him, and brought him a spare small shovel.

Zhu Yunxi deliberately snorted next to Zhu Yuanzhang, as if to put his anger on him, and buried his head in shoveling grass, ignoring him again.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ground he had shoveled, raised his chin, and said with a look of annoyance: "Hey, there is still grass here..."

Zhu Yunxi straightened his neck, and said with a stubborn mouth: "I know, I haven't shoveled here yet!" Then he added another shovel,

Those few grasses met with catastrophe in an instant. Not only were they cut off by the middle, but they were also dug up by the roots...

Poor Qingqing Xiaocao has become someone's tool to vent her anger...

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and smiled, knowing that this was his grandson making him happy, so how could he be angry.

The younger generation "entertains relatives in colorful clothes", this is great filial piety.

"Come on, take a break and drink some water."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the tea bowl from Qingtong and handed it to him.

Zhu Yunxi also went down the donkey, reached out to take it and drank a few mouthfuls, and took the opportunity to chat with Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Grandfather, look at this..."

He took out the Daming silver coin and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a look in front of his eyes and frowned, "Why is this our avatar?"

Zhu Yunxi quickly explained: "Grandfather, this is a Ming silver coin specially made by my grandson. It weighs seven cents and two cents, and the currency is worth one tael of silver..."

Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him and said, "We didn't ask you anything else, but how you put our head on it? Isn't this the first year of Xuanwu? Why don't you put your head on it?"

"Grandfather, grandson, the new king is on the throne. How can he cast his own image? Isn't that a joke? Grandpa, you are an old man who pioneered martial arts and martial arts. He is supported by all civil and military officials and admired by all the subjects of the world. In our Ming Dynasty, you are the only one. Qualified..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It is precisely because you have succeeded to the throne that you need to use this to establish your prestige. Your silver coins are well minted, so let's use your image in the future...

We don't want to embarrass ourselves..."

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help laughing bitterly, and persuaded him a little more, saying that after he had made commendable achievements, it would not be too late to cast his own image, so he reluctantly agreed.

"Grandfather, the Ming Dynasty banned gold and silver before, but now my grandson uses silver to mint Daming silver coins. Although the silver transaction is not open, it is an opening after all..."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said indifferently: "

We know what you are going to say, don't worry, you are our chosen emperor, we support you in whatever you do! "

"Thank you, Grandpa Emperor..."

Zhu Yuanzhang patted him on the shoulder and said: "You have to understand that there is no such thing as a constant law in the world. To be an emperor, you must learn to judge the situation and adapt to local conditions.

We banned gold and silver before, because the world was not peaceful at that time, there were bandits and robbers everywhere in Ming Dynasty, or there were many rebellions, and there was still the threat of Beiyuan. "

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip and continued, "Besides, there was very little silver in the treasury of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and a large amount of silver was in the hands of the gentry and gentry.

If the silver ban is really lifted, they will have enough money to disrupt Daming's finances, and a lot of supplies will be in their hands, Daming's foundation is weak, and it can't stand the trouble..."

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but feel enlightened when he heard the words.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang banned the use of silver, and there is such a meaning!
But thinking about it is also true, if the silver ban had been lifted at that time, the people at the bottom would be miserable, and the aristocratic families had a lot of money, what would happen?
Even speaking conservatively, they will use the money in their hands to buy a large amount of land and destroy the underlying construction of Daming. I don't know how many people will become tenants and vassals of wealthy families. It can be said that life and death are in the hands of others!

Once there is a disaster year, you will be displaced and homeless again!
To put it more seriously, the power of the gentry and gentry has expanded, and I am afraid they want to break their wrists with the court...

Is this kind of thing rare in all dynasties!

Zhu Yunxi's face became serious, and he said seriously: "Grandfather, don't worry, grandson will definitely not let the nobles sit on the throne!"
