After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

"They no longer look down on the benefits of land, and turn their attention to business matters."

Do you want to open this opening?Zhu Yuanzhang began to think in his heart, would the involvement of the nobles in the court disrupt the business?Commercial tax is now the main source of income for the imperial court.

Once mixed with them,

It will destroy the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, the country of Ming Dynasty was agriculture, but now it is commerce.

But if they are not allowed to participate in business and trade, the land may not be easy to recover.If the Liugong 28hou did not hand over the land, the local gentry would not follow suit.

Whether to keep the cleanliness and purity of business, or land, can only choose one of two.

Zhu Yuanzhang began to weigh the pros and cons in his heart, and for a long time, he felt that it was more important to nationalize the land first.So he said: "In the eyes of you scholars, the businessmen and merchants were not low-level in the eyes of you."

"Why do you want to let your nephew do business today?"

"Reporting to the superior." Li Shan said long, "In the past, I looked down on merchants. It was extremely short-sighted. Thanks to the teachings of Mr. Qin and the emperor, the veterans realized the importance of merchants."

"Furthermore, the prosperity of Ming Dynasty today is due to the great achievements of merchants."

"The ministers must also keep pace with the times, learn the way of merchants, and contribute a little to the prosperity of Ming Dynasty."

"In this case, we agree. Anyway, in the Ming Dynasty, there is still no law that prohibits officials from doing business," Zhu Yuanzhang said, and then he said with a serious expression, "Merchants are now the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and we don't allow anyone to destroy it."

"The superior's instructions must be kept in mind, and after he goes down, he will strictly teach that nephew to obey the law." Li Shanchang said, "If he dares to mess around, the veteran will not be able to spare him."

"Okay, that's it." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Therefore, the two monarchs and ministers reached a tacit agreement at this moment. Zhu Yuanzhang allowed those Huaixi nobles to enter the business world, and the Huaixi nobles took the initiative to return the obtained fiefdoms to the court.

The excitement of the day is over.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma returned to the palace.

"Sister, we don't know if there was anything wrong with the decision during the day." Zhu Yuanzhang asked Empress Ma.

It stands to reason that daytime affairs are national affairs, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. When encountering such matters, the emperor will not discuss with the queen.

But because the matter is too big, Zhu Yuanzhang really has no idea.Besides, whenever he encountered a big problem in the past, he liked to close the door and discuss it with Queen Ma.

It has become a habit.

So this time, he discussed his political affairs with Queen Ma for the first time.

"Your Majesty is asking about allowing those Huaixi nobles to participate in merchants and hand over their land?" Empress Ma immediately understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intention and said.

"That's right." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "You can only choose one of the two. After all, this matter is related to their vital interests. Taking away the fertile land they have already obtained from them is equivalent to cutting their flesh. If you don't compensate them They will not be willing to order anything, we will take a knife and cut off their flesh."

"There is absolutely no way to have the best of both worlds."

"The concubine feels that what His Majesty is doing is completely correct, and it is more important to take back the land." Empress Ma said.She is not only virtuous, but also very politically capable.

Many problems that Emperor Zhu encountered before were all conspired by Empress Ma behind the scenes.

Empress Ma's talent is stronger than that of Lu's Pheasant.Moreover, both of them have experienced hardships. They took their husband's son with them, and were arrested by hostile forces and imprisoned.

Both had very similar experiences.

"Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"The biggest hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty now is that most of the land is in the hands of gentry and wealthy families." Empress Ma said, "This is an urgent problem that needs to be solved immediately. Of course, we must first solve the immediate problem."

"I can't wait to see you now."

"As for business and trade, it is a new thing that has just emerged, and those nobles may not understand the operational know-how. They don't understand the way of businessmen and are eager to make money, and criminals will easily show their tricks."

"That's right!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "We only allowed them to participate in merchants, and did not allow them to break the law. Once they dare to break the law, we will never tolerate it."

"Besides, there is another important point." Empress Ma said,
"If they don't participate in business affairs, they will harm the people and exploit the people. Once they participate, their attention will be diverted, and they will no longer take credit for bullying the villagers."

"Most of the nobles in Huaixi are military generals, so what they are good at is to lead ships to seek wealth. However, ocean-going ships go to sea to seek wealth, which has little impact on Daming's business."

"With the words of a girl, we feel more at ease." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

He secretly sighed in his heart that he married a good wife. Empress Ma was not only affectionate and righteous, but also kind and kind, and most importantly, capable. She was his daughter Zhuge.

Being able to marry such a wife is simply a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.

"Now there are more and more people in the Ming Dynasty going to sea to seek wealth." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "The workers of the Shipping Department rush to build ships day and night, and they can't meet the needs of merchants."

"And most of the ships they ordered are the most advanced steam ships at present, and the previous ships are basically eliminated."

"Just the sale of ships by the shipping company is a huge source of income."

"The ship envoy of the ship department is a fat job. We have to use our own people." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "It's better to use our prince to take up this position."

"After all, it was the first time they brought steam turbines to the Shipping Department."

"Besides, ships are also important strategic materials. The important department in charge of strategy and money management must use someone you can trust. Let the third son, King Zhu of Qin, take the concurrent post."

Empress Ma did not participate in the emperor's personnel appointments, saying: "Manufacturing steam turbines requires a lot of steel, and making iron requires coal. The coal business in Shanxi will be more prosperous, and those coal bosses will make a lot of money again. I heard that In Concubine Zheng's family, someone gave the Zheng family a coal mine as a gift, and the Zheng family is going to get rich."

"Those merchants gave it to the Zheng family for Mr. Qin's sake," Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"If you become a relative with Mr. Qin, you can get a mine as a gift! What a miracle!" Empress Ma sighed, "It can be seen that the people of Ming Dynasty love and respect Mr. Qin."

"Mr. made them all rich and got practical benefits. Of course they will love him." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Their love for Mr. is from the bottom of their hearts, but it seems to those who only know how to talk empty words without giving people real The love of the 'sages' of income. The love of those saints is pale and feeble."

"Shipbuilding requires a lot of wood, and the wood industry prospers because of it." Queen Ma said,
