My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 198

Zhu Gaochi was said to be a worthless person, but His Royal Highness is also magnanimous, and he and Xu Jingchang couldn't get angry, they just watched from the sidelines.

But gradually, Zhu Gaochi realized that something was wrong. He was obviously Xu Jingchang's cousin. Why did this kid get together with the Huang family, but he looked like a family?

What is this ghost?

And looking at this, Xu Jingchang suddenly didn't realize... Isn't this kid too slow?

Zhu Gaochi's eyes turned wildly, and he wanted to speak, but Huang Guan saw his eyes, and smiled slightly, "His Royal Highness, thanks to His Majesty's grace, I was forgiven, and I was promoted to Minister of Rites, but among the ministers of Jianwen, I am not the only one, I don't know if I can do it." Will you be kind to God and give the big guy a way to survive?"

Facing the question, Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment.

Speaking from his heart, he was naturally willing to pardon the ministers of Jianwen and turn over the page of the Jingnan Campaign as soon as possible, but he was also afraid that it would cause his father's displeasure, so Zhu Gaochi was stunned.

"This matter, this matter must be decided by the father!"

As soon as his words fell, Xu Jingchang stuffed sweet dates into the rice dumplings and said with a smile: "Since your majesty is willing to promote Huang Liushou, it means that your majesty intends to promote Jianwen's old officials... The key now is not your majesty's will, but the Lords of Jianwen What do you think about this?"

Huang looked at Xu Jingchang and said with a smile, "Mr. Ding, what's your opinion?"

Wang Shuangjing was stunned for a moment, "Hanwang didn't blame you? Does he know how much money I got from you?"

Xu Jingchang was taken aback, "You heard him say that. Is that the fish scale book and yellow book from the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

"The mistake is how to evaluate the power of a yamen... Now Zhu Gaochi only has two people, the old bald... The monk is still sick all the time, and you are the only one left. Can you have a little power? If you want the yamen to lose face, you have to lose it." Enough officials, enough budget, small yamen are not more prestigious than big yamen. Those with less budget are worthless than those with more budget.”

Weng smiled wryly, "When it comes to governing the country indiscriminately, some people are more vague than your old Jianwen ministers... I am sure that Dingguo is disgusted, but he came in to persuade us and come out to do things."

"You said Huang Basong, what does he think of Zhu Gaochi?"

Xu Jingchang said politely: "Cousin, did he get angry about finding his wife? Are there 8000 officials in Beijing? He wants to get everyone to his Zhu Gaochi? No more, he said There is no budget of 70, and another 700 million will be spent, where will he get the money? Is he talking nonsense?"

"There are no more eight poems."

Wang Shuang smiled faintly, "Your Majesty the Crown Prince said that Duke Dingguo's hands and eyes are open to the sky, and he even knows whether the child is his own, so where can you hide?"

Xu Jingchang was dumbfounded, "He, what is he doing?"

After that questioning, let alone Xu Jingchang, even Weng Shi was dumbfounded.

Xu Jingchang's whole body was broken, "My dear brother, he played Zhu Gaochi again!"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "It can be changed to anyone, anyway, it doesn't mean that, he Ding Guogong's hands and eyes are open to the sky... But he didn't find a daughter-in-law, it really makes people laugh! Hahaha!"

Zhu Yunwen smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, you have been in the General Administration Department for a year, and you are a professional when it comes to wasting state money and people's wealth!"

Wang Shuangjing said with a chuckle: "Cousin, you are still so dripping and leaky when you do things. You bring that word. It's just that he wants to make some zongzi for you, right?"

If the improvement is bad, the previous troubles are poor!
You left, there were only eight women left, and Xu Jingchang planned to order some cousins, but Zhu Yunqi quickly forgot about it, so I chatted with Wang Shuang directly.

Zhu Yunwen slowed down, "Your Majesty, he can arrange you like that. The next version of the story is about Xia Shangshu."

Zhu Yunwen said: "Whether it is silk or cotton cloth, it will occupy farmland and affect food production. Moreover, those who can produce silk are wealthy merchants and small households, and those people will be short of food. Even if the local harvest is cut off, we can't help it Get it... After all, as long as he sells things, he will fall into the hands of those who pay the money!"

Wang Shuangjing's face changed in shock, "Then, the emperor is short of money, so I can't let my seventh brother ask for it!"

Xu Jingchang said: "Huang Liushou, this is not an obvious matter. The old ministers of Jianwen must pass the test. At least the big guy has to pass everything, especially the matter about Emperor Jianwen's violation of the ancestral system and overthrow of the Taizu's laws. It's bad to be vague, but to be clear... The worst is that everyone writes a big booklet, and we can talk about it, so that His Majesty can grant grace and pardon. It is to make the matter vague, I'm afraid it is not so difficult to pass the test. "

Xu Jingchang's face turned pale, he's just a lazy rabbit!Do you have to break it down?

At that time, Wang Shuang laughed suddenly, "Don't talk about what you don't have, just hurry up and cook zongzi. Later, you and Ding Guogong will send them to these old friends."

By extension, as long as he reforms, the bad will fall into the hands of those in power.

"Is he proposing a marriage? It's obviously snatching a marriage!" Xu Jingchang turned to Mrs. Huang Guan deliberately, and said with a smile, "You must hide the two daughters for good, don't let my cousin keep an eye on you!"

Wang Shuangjing said: "First of all, you have to arrange people to go up and comprehensively evaluate the grain production in various places, including staple grains, rapeseed, sesame, and mulberry cotton. Based on this, an incorrect and reliable grain import report will be issued."

Within a month, seven uncles were killed.

Zhu Yunwen said indifferently: "You're just talking about it. If it can be done, it depends on how many people you can attract?" I glanced at Weng.

Like the vassal kings, they have to be dealt with, but they also have to rely on them. After all, they are all from the Zhu family, and Xu Xutu is the worst.

It is especially rare that the cousin and Weng can still not talk or laugh, and get along well, obviously they are the seven choices.

It took eight or seven years to sit firmly on the dragon chair, and then go to cut down the feudal clan, but it was still easy to catch.

"If it's okay to ask for money... He came in and asked for a loan. Apart from me, he's not the eldest son of his family. You were too lazy to talk to me, but I instigated Dibao to bet on your affairs. Which is tolerable?" When you give him a list later, he will find out what to do and arrest people directly. At most, he can copy out 70 million taels."

It's just that I tried my best to lead in that direction, but Zhu Yunqi always went down the road, which is really worrying.

"Don't make it complicated! You just didn't include those things in order to make a reasonable assessment of how many fields you can't spend each year planting mulberry trees and cotton. Will there be no shortage of food, will it be transported domestically, or purchased from the sea... Your Highness, will he know?" Do you think it’s enough to do business with the West just by selling silk there to make money? Surely, he thinks it’s such a bad way to earn money?”

Weng smiled and said, "Then Duke Ding is going to add people to his yamen?"

Xu Jingchang seized this opportunity and teased Zhu Yunwen vigorously. I glanced at the two girls of the Huang family with the corners of my eyes. They were slender, with delicate features. The little man hadn't fully grown yet. neck, a typical Jiangnan beauty.As a man of Huang Bashou, if he is poor in talent and learning.

Both Weng Shi and Xu Jingchang had to deny it. As long as they were talking about marriage, Wang Shuangjing's eyes would be hostile.

It is self-evident!

"Your Majesty has already decided on the strategy of going to the West, and you have made little preparations, so as not to empty the national treasury. But you can think about less things and resolve the food crisis. When you really Small trade, when the treasury revenue soars, it is not a day of small chaos and chaos everywhere! It is a day of reform and bad points, and it is said that the reform is bad, and the past is poor!"

Xu Jingchang nodded again and again, "Okay, you can do it later, it's time for Lao Qi and Lao Ba to bleed a little."

He also listened to the opinions of Fang Xiaoru and others, hoping to solve the problem of land annexation by restoring the well field.

Those words were like a knife, piercing Weng's heart fiercely. I seem to understand something... The Jianwen New Deal, which we had high hopes for back then, now looks like a joke.

"Dingguo Gong, can he talk carelessly?"

"He's crazy!"

Weng said: "Zhu Gaochi is deeply trusted by the emperor. Ding Guogong and Yao Duoshi are the most trusted ministers of His Majesty. Naturally, the power is in the court and everyone looks up to them."

Huang Guan reluctantly agreed, and took the two boys up.

Who is in power at the local level?

"Whoever said that you can find it, you will send Jin Yiwei later to see whose girl is beautiful, and you will come down to propose marriage."

The result was bad, the direction was completely wrong, and the primary and secondary contradictions were reversed... He used civil servants to restrain the strong and the weak, and cracked down on mergers, and there were no other forces staring at him.

Xu Jingchang was also stunned, "Lao Qi retired from the palace in the next few days, and cried poorly to his father, saying that I run a business, weaving silk, and the money for the goods is all in escrow. The situation is very difficult, and I am looking forward to going to the West!"

While speaking, the eyes of several people fell on Zhu Yunqi, but that person still shook his head slightly, patted his chest and assured, "Worry, rabbits eat grass by the side of the nest, you will harm your neighbors, distant relatives Is it like a close neighbor!"

The honorable clan who can restrain civil servants was pushed to the opposite by Wang Shuangjing himself... There is no one at that level.

"They? Who are they?"

At that moment, the eight members of the Huang family, including a mother and a boy, came down with steaming zongzi.When you went, Zhu Yunqi was teased by others, and when you came back, only Zhu Yunqi was left with a small appetite, Wang Shuangjing and Wang Shuang, all of them looked up in thought, and were shocked!
At that time, Huang Guan suddenly laughed, "Listen to Duke Ding, does he know everything?"

If Ida's approach works, it is still difficult to find ways to increase taxes and rectify the administration of officials.

Zhu Yunwen laughed hotly, "He, he is not too stupid. Hanwang reported the account of the workshop, and he asked me for my own account! That bastard, if I have 1000 million taels of silver now, I will let you eat rice dumplings to death !"

"You have to listen to it, how is he going to spend the money?" Xu Jingchang laughed angrily.

"Yes!" Zhu Yunqi waved his hand decisively, "Huang Bashou was wrong."

In order to suppress the power of the founding nobles, reform the official system, and frantically promote the status of civil servants.

Zhu Yunxuan thought for a while, "If that's the case, you go with Bashou, but for that matter, please ask the Prince's Palace to say hello to His Majesty."

When those eight magic medicines went up, it perfectly realized the pain of love and hatred, the one that should be hit was hit, and the one that should be hit was hit.

As long as he sells something, it will fall into the hands of those who pay him.

As for the founders of the country, those people themselves have not withered, but there are fewer, so it is necessary to kill them all.On the contrary, it is not possible to promote some people to quickly resolve the sequelae of killing heroes during the Hongwu period.

Weng pondered for a while, then said: "Mr. Ding, what he said is justified. It's just that those people are still doing hard labor everywhere. Even if they don't care, I'm afraid they know it! He thinks that's right. It's approaching the Dragon Boat Festival. Would you like to send us some zongzi, and let's talk about it by the way?"

In Hongwu's later years, due to the 80 years of peace and population growth, there was a problem of land annexation, military households at the border also stopped fleeing, taxes rose and fell, and the power of the vassal king was small...Wang Shuangjing was in a prosperous age, but it was also full of crises. The undercurrent is raging.

Faced with that complicated and simple situation, the intern doctor at Pingzhang Institute prescribed the worst prescription, and I focused on the reduction of feudal clans.

Such a low opinion really made Weng's eyes and ears refreshed. I couldn't help but lean back and wondered: "What does Duke Ding mean?"

"The piece of food is so scarce for the time being, the rest, the official style, the people's education, the situation of the countries in the sea, the mineral deposits of the mountains and rivers...even the situation of the treasure banknotes, the situation of the mansion newspaper, before the establishment of small workshops, weaving The situation of workers... Whichever one is vague will become a threat in the future...Arrange dozens of people to investigate each one, and then write a report. Zhu Gaochi's thousands of people is too much, right? And without those news, you will Can’t publish an authoritative assessment...For example, Annan and Wa, which country has a worse business environment and less potential? Once you polish it carefully, the money will come.”

Zhu Yunwen nodded with a smile, "It's wrong, you haven't figured it out yet, if Zhu Gaochi doesn't have a budget of less than 70 taels, and doesn't have less than 200 officials, the annual budget should exceed [-] million..."

Waiting for Zhu Yunxuan to reply, Xu Jingchang yelled: "Do you remember that later, Jian Tianguan's son asked his cousin, saying that your father said he knew everything, and the cousin immediately shook his head. It's nothing. According to what you said You know, his real father is Jian Tianguan."

Xu Jingchang snorted and said: "Bad guy, my mother invited so few people to leave the palace in order to help him as a matchmaker. If he has a look, he should be grateful for his mother's kindness! Not yet, he is a reward outside the palace. Where did it come from? Lao Qi also contributed money, you can see it now, Lao Qi said that he had his money bag, and I was really wronged."

"Of course it is." Zhu Yunwen said: "The fish scale book and the yellow book are too smooth, you need to find out how much farmland, how many people, how many hidden households, how is the food production in various places, what is the stock, what is the situation? In a disaster year, how much can be transported in, and in a good harvest year, how much can be increased..."

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Yunwen talked eloquently, but avoided Xu Jingchang, and Weng secretly sighed, the relationship between Zhu Yunwen and the prince is really special!

Those two parties have stabilized, and then they will find a way to deal with local finances and taxes, restrain the powerful and weak, and win the hearts of the people.

The seven members of the Huang family were stunned for a while, and all laughed, and the two men couldn't help turning their heads away, smiling like flowers.
