Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 219 Congratulations to Your Majesty, there are successors to the Great Ming Dynasty!
The others were taken aback when they heard this, but they quickly realized and joined the congratulatory team.

"I congratulate Your Majesty!"

"His Highness King Wu's words are really a strategy for both ends, I hope His Majesty will adopt it!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard everyone praise him, he really thought that the Manchu officials were overwhelmed by his talent.

Therefore, he completely let himself go and started talking about this topic.

"Actually, Ming's tax system is not good either."

"All taxes, corvees, etc. should be converted into silver, so that it is convenient for the court to collect taxes..."

Chen Zongli, Minister of the Household Department, was even more excited when he heard this.

His Royal Highness King Wu can do it, he really dares to say anything!
In fact, any minister of the Ministry of Households hates collecting taxes in kind.

Because this thing is only good-looking on the books, but when the court uses money, it is caught blind.

If the tax in kind is only food, cloth and the like.No matter what you say, food can be eaten directly, and cloth is also a hard currency, which can be exchanged for money when it is brought to the market.

However, a large part of Daming’s taxes in kind was bamboo baskets, straw sandals, salted fish, silk and hemp, jujubes, etc.

These things can't be sold, and they are easy to rot and break if they are stored in the warehouse, which worries the officials of the household department of Daming to death.

But what troubled them the most was that the old emperor always asked them to use these things as salaries and distribute them to officials in Beijing...

The old emperor saved money, but it was the officials of their household department who were scolded!

Just imagine, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty, after a year of busy work, finally brought a cart of salted fish home.
However, this is the norm in Daming.

Therefore, the top and bottom officials of the household department are more eager to receive cash than anyone else.In this way, it will be more convenient than it is now, whether it is tax and bank relief, or various expenditures of the court.

Of course, the most important thing is that every time the salary is distributed, there is no need to be scolded for distributing straw sandals, salted fish and so on.

"His Royal Highness King Wu is wise!"

"On behalf of all the subjects in the world, I would like to thank His Royal Highness King Wu!"

When the other officials saw what Chen Zongli said, they immediately thought of the salted fish, pepper and other salaries they had received over the years, and hurriedly praised Zhu Yunxi.

"His Royal Highness King Wu is truly the number one virtuous king of all time!"

"My Ming Dynasty has such a virtuous king, it is really a blessing for the whole world!"

"I hope His Majesty will adopt His Highness King Wu's advice and implement it throughout the country..."

Hearing the congratulations from the officials below, Lao Zhu was so angry that his old face twitched.Now he only has one thought, that is to hang Zhu Yunxi up and beat him up!
This grandson is too presumptuous. He really thinks that the court's artisan household system and taxation system will change as soon as they say it?
Although Lao Zhu wanted to shoot Ni Sun to death on the spot, but at this moment in front of so many people, he could only bite the bullet and speak.

"We'll discuss this later!"

"Da Sun, don't talk about taxes and other things, just tell the officials of the Ministry of War how you managed the workshop at that time, and let them follow suit!"

When everyone heard Lao Zhu's words, they immediately knew that reforming the tax system and the household registration system was a dead end, so they could only get up from the ground in resentment.

Minister Shuru of the Ministry of War often experienced what happened just now, and he was not as hostile to Zhu Yunxi as before, but with a little respect.

After all, compared to the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunxi can point out the shortcomings of the household registration and taxation system of the Ming Dynasty at such an age, so he can be called a generation of virtuous kings.

If he hadn't had an uncle like Lan Yu, Ru Chang would have supported him instead without hesitation, and supported him as the heir apparent of Ming Dynasty.

Because what the child said was too disrespectful to their civil servants. It was exactly what they wanted to say but didn't dare to say, what they wanted to do but didn't dare to do.

Ru Chang bowed to Zhu Yunxi and said very politely.

"I also ask His Royal Highness King Wu to give me advice!"

"What should I do so that the craftsmen can create suitable weapons?"

Seeing that Lao Zhu ignored him, Zhu Yunxi felt a little annoyed.

This was the first time he gave advice to the court, and Lao Zhu's cold feedback greatly dampened his enthusiasm.Seeing Ru Chang asking this question again now, he immediately replied angrily.

"Give me the money!"

"Piece-rate wages, how much money will be given to the craftsmen for each piece made, they will naturally be willing to work!"

Ru Chang automatically ignored Zhu Yunxi's impatience and continued to ask.

"What about the quality?"

"How is the quality guaranteed?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Ru Chang helplessly upon hearing this.

"Master Ru, as long as you give me enough money, the quality will naturally be guaranteed!"

"Hydraulic workshops are all one process after another. If the quality of the previous process is not up to standard, the people in the next process will naturally not want to take over, and will force the previous process to redo."

"In this way, the craftsman in the previous process not only delays his own earning, but also delays the earning of the people on the entire line. Just because others complain can torture him to death, so why should others care?"

"You only need to check and accept at the last stage. All unqualified products will be eliminated, and only the wages of the finished products will be calculated. They will naturally try their best to produce."

Being an official under Lao Zhu's nose, there was no chance of eating a vegetarian meal. The officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all shrewd and capable talents, regardless of literature and martial arts.

Even if Hu Weiyong, who was wiped out by Lao Zhu, was placed in other dynasties, he would be a model of a generation of capable ministers, and his achievements were no less than that of Li Linfu in the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that Hu Weiyong was very unlucky to meet such an energetic and wonderful old man, and then he wanted to be similar to the ministers of the past dynasties, decentralizing power from the emperor, so who would die if he didn't die?
Therefore, when all the officials in the court heard this, they were all shocked by Zhu Yunxie's method of management, which was clear and straight to the hearts of the people.

Minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Chang, originally just asked casually with an attitude of giving it a try, and didn't expect Zhu Yunxie to give any insightful suggestions at all, but he was also surprised when he heard this.

Is this really what a teenager said?
Could it be that someone else wrote it for him in advance, and he memorized it to fool people?
Normally speaking, such a simple and efficient management method, not to mention the officials who came from the imperial examinations in the court, even the old officials would not be able to explain it so thoroughly!
Lao Zhu stood up from his chair excitedly, his heart and eyes filled with joy.

You really deserve to be our great grandson, and the painstaking efforts we poured into you are not in vain, hahaha!
The officials in the main hall were secretly surprised when they saw Lao Zhu's behavior.

Has the emperor's love for His Highness the King of Wu reached an undisguised level?

It's just that they recalled Zhu Yunxi's words just now, and each of them sighed again in their hearts.

It's no wonder that His Majesty loves the Three Emperors, the Three Emperors do have merit.

When all the officials were shocked, there was only one person who was secretly happy from the bottom of his heart, and that was Qin Kui, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was hiding in the crowd.

Qin Kui was forced to jump back by Lao Zhu, and there was always a thorn in his heart, feeling that he had deviated from the ranks of civil servants and became a follower under the imperial power.

However, what Zhu Yunxi said just now made him hopeful.

At such an age, this son is able to understand human nature deeply, and put forward such insightful management methods. In the future, he will be at least a generation of sages and enlightened masters!

In addition, he is only in his teens, and he has already expressed his dissatisfaction with the old emperor's ruling. In the future, as long as he guides him well, he will definitely be able to get rid of the ills since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and make the Ming Dynasty glow with a new look!

At that time, even if the emperor of the Song Dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats are restored to rule the world together, it seems not impossible!
Thinking of this, Qin Kui could no longer restrain his inner excitement, and bowed down to His Majesty the Emperor on the spot.

"Your Majesty, although the words of the Three Emperors are simple and straightforward, they are the way to govern the country with a deep understanding of human nature!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, there are successors to the Great Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as Qin Kui's words came out, the huge court hall suddenly became silent, only Lao Zhu let out a strange quacking laugh like a night owl.

Everyone couldn't help but secretly looked at Qin Kui, secretly cursing this person as a sycophant.

Where is this, so there is only one successor to the Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Yunxi was also agitated when he heard this, and he was so excited that he almost stopped breathing.He stared at the old man standing beside the dragon chair with two big eyes.

However, to his disappointment, after the old man laughed, his old face quickly turned cold.

"Qin Aiqing is serious, our eldest grandson is still young, so we don't deserve such a compliment!"

Seeing Lao Zhu saying this, Zhu Yunxi felt a little disappointed in his heart, secretly thinking that he really didn't have the fate to be the grandson of the emperor, and could only wait for the death of the emperor's grandpa in the future to find a way...

Fortunately, he didn't expect much at first, but his mentality adjusted quickly.

The others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the old emperor say this.

Now that the old emperor is so humble, they naturally don't need to congratulate collectively.

After all, it is different now. They congratulated together just now, but it was only because His Majesty loved Zhu Yunxie and deliberately disgusted His Majesty the Emperor.

Now if they still dare to do what they did just now, maybe His Majesty the Emperor will appoint a grandson for you on the spot!
Qin Kui was also a little disappointed when he heard Lao Zhu's words. He flattered his ass to the extreme just now, and he almost suggested that His Majesty the Emperor directly establish the grandson of the Emperor, but why His Majesty's reaction was so indifferent?

Could it be that His Majesty still has any worries in his heart?
This shouldn't be, given His Majesty's arbitrary, arbitrary, domineering personality, whose opinion does he care about?

Although Qin Kui had 10,000 reasons in his heart, he still got up from the ground and retreated into the crowd.

He can almost predict that there will definitely be no fewer memorials to impeach him in the future.

Now I just hope that His Majesty will remember his eagle dog and protect him more or less, so that he will not be sprayed to death by the censors...

However, after Qin Kui retreated, Ru Chang stood up again.

"Your Majesty, I have the guts to suggest that the weapon workshop should be supervised by His Royal Highness King Wu."

"As for the various expenses of the weapons workshop, the Ministry of Households will negotiate with His Highness King Wu, and the Ministry of War is only responsible for storing the weapons that have been forged."

When Ru Chang said this, not only Lao Zhu was taken aback, but even Manchu civil and military officials were also taken aback.

However, they soon came to their senses, and then secretly scolded this guy as an old fox.

The law Zhu Yunxi just said seems simple, but it involves the craftsman household system of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if Ru Chang could get wages, he would not dare to send them to the craftsmen rashly.

Once he does this, what will the officials of the state capitals of Daming do? Will they also pay the craftsmen?
There are a series of interests involved here, and if one is not handled properly, it will cause fire.

Relatively speaking, it is different to kick this ball to Zhu Yunxi. Who has the guts of a bear, dares to alienate the flesh and blood of the Tian family, and is the old emperor's favorite grandson?
It can be said that the name Zhu Yunxi alone is enough to frighten away all opposing voices!

They would only scold the grandson in their hearts for being unkind, and then imitate him to add money to the craftsmen!

Lao Zhu also quickly understood, and looked at Zhu Yunxi meaningfully.

"Dasun, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhu Yunxi agreed without hesitation.

"Okay!"

"Since Lord Ru trusts me, I will do my part. Just one thing must be explained in advance, the money you paid for the workshop before will not be refunded!"

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly rolled his eyes when he heard the words, thinking that you still need to say this, even if they chase you for money, there is still your grandma Guo standing in front of you!
"If that's the case, let our eldest grandson supervise the weapon workshop. Later, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War will draw up a regulation, how many weapons the workshop needs to hand in every year, and how to calculate the cost, etc."

Chen Zongli and Ru Chang heard the words and hurried forward.

"I will obey your orders!"

After Lao Zhu finalized the matter, he immediately said to Dasun.

"Go to Dabentang to study!"

"You're not allowed to run around today, we'll be gone for a while, and we have to take you out of the palace!"

"Grandfather, can you tell me what happened?"

Lao Zhu looked at Dasun's curious little eyes, and flicked him away like chasing flies.

"Go! Go! Go!"

"Hurry up and get out, you will know when the time comes!"

"cut……"

Zhu Yunxie rolled Lao Zhu's eyes, and then ran out of the main hall in a jerk, towards the long-awaited Dahon Hall.

After Zhu Yunxi left, Lao Zhu dealt with some state affairs again, and then announced the disbandment of the dynasty.

After all the officials led Lao Zhu away from the main hall, they immediately gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and walking outside the palace.

Qin Kui leaned in front of Chen Zongli with a smile, and said braggingly.

"How is it?"

"The old man was right before, the third emperor's grandson is much stronger than the second emperor's grandson!"

Chen Zongli curled his lips in disgust when he heard the words, but he didn't distance himself from Qin Kui.For Qin Kui, this is already a huge improvement.

You know, some time ago, when the two of them had the most tense quarrel, Chen Zongli avoided him when he saw him, and didn't give him a chance to get close at all.

"The third emperor's grandson is young, it's too early to say that..."

Seeing that Chen Zongli did not directly refute, Qin Kui immediately approached with a sullen face, and said in a low voice.

"Young has its advantages!"

"Because you are young, you need to rely on me even more!"

Chen Zongli was a little moved when he heard the words, but when he thought of Lan Yu and others, his face sank.

"I'm afraid that there are too many people that the third grandson can rely on, and it's not our turn to civil servants!"

When Qin Kui heard this, he lowered his voice again and added a sentence.

"Sapphire is domineering, I'm afraid it's not like a long-lived person!"

When Chen Zongli heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

"If this is true, the old man also thinks that the grandson of the Three Emperors is a rare hero, hahaha..."

Qin Kui also laughed out loud when he heard the words, and the people beside him thought they had said some funny joke when they heard their laughter.

As everyone knows, the two of them have reached a tacit understanding in a few words.

Qin Kui wins over Chen Zongli for the third grandson, and wants Chen Zongli to support the third grandson instead.Chen Zongli didn't object, but just set out his own conditions.

That is, it's okay to support the grandson of the Three Emperors, but you must first get rid of Sapphire, the biggest relative!
