My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 240 Zhu Gaochi's Way of Balance
Xu Jingchang and Zhu Gaoxu walked together, Zhu Gaosui followed behind, and after a while Zhu Zhanji also came over.Hei boy looked at the brothers of the Zhu family who were holding hands and talking and laughing, with an angry look on their small faces.

"Cousin, second uncle, third uncle, I lost a lot of money today."

Xu Jingchang nodded, "It's really not small!"

"It's the emperor's grandfather who lost!"

"That's right, it was your grandfather who did it."

Zhu Zhanji was so angry, he clenched his fists, and said angrily: "King Ning violated the national law, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice has already sentenced him. They want to pay off the debt for generations. As a result, the emperor's grandfather said that he was exempted. What is this? Playing with power ?”

Xu Jingchang said: "Grandson, it seems that you can't say that. Your Majesty didn't exempt the money, but just said to return it instead... That is to say, the royal family has to use the royal money to replenish the treasury, and the court has no loss."

"But the royal family has a loss, that is, I have a loss." Zhu Zhanji was furious, "My father used to spend my money, but now it is the emperor's grandfather. I am so pitiful. Cousin, what do you think I should do?" ?”

Xu Jingchang blinked, "It depends on the grandson's ability... You need to study more, think of any way to control Grandpa Nihuang, don't let him wander around, and don't let him see anyone casually .”

Zhu Zhanji thought about it seriously, "Then there is only one way, it is best to let him indulge in fun... There is always something suitable for Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's faces turned dark, this bastard is not very big, and his heart is really cruel.

If we wait for him to ascend the throne, we will definitely end badly... We should just find an excuse and push this kid into the canal to drown...

Old Zhu's father is kind, his son is filial, his brothers are respectful, that's really nothing to say.

A few of them were chatting in the back, but Zhu Di in the front didn't know at all that they had already entered the courtyard on the first floor of the Ancestral Hall of the Martyrs... This is the showroom, which mainly stores some important cultural relics...

For example, the one in the middle, what is that thing?
The kings rubbed their eyes, only then did they see clearly that it turned out to be a rough porcelain bowl with a chipped mouth.

Could it be the one used by the imperial examination?
Zhu Di came over, took it out carefully, held it in his hand, and showed it in front of his brothers.

"This was invited from Fengyang not long ago." The implication is that although it may not be the one used by Lao Zhu back then, at least it has something to do with it.

"It's not easy for our Zhu family! When Huang Kao was young, there was a famine, and his family was destroyed. So many relatives left, only Huang Kao was left. Begging for food, eating and sleeping in the open, weathering the wind and rain. Who would have thought at that time that such a beggar could sit on the world?"

All the kings nodded their heads one after another, and Zhu Huan also sighed: "Yes, it is difficult for the father to start a business. He won the world with commoner clothes. It has never been done before, and there is only one person in the ages!"

Zhu Di nodded, "Fifth Brother is right, so those of us who are sons should cherish our father's foundation and always be good for the Ming Dynasty. If this country loses in our hands, we really can't see it." Huang Kao."

The kings nodded one after another.

Zhu Di carefully put the broken bowl back, and looked at the two sides. There are very rich things in it... There is a seal of the governor of one side, with words on the side, which was used by Zhu Wenzheng back then.

When Zhu Wenzheng is mentioned, one has to think of the Battle of Hongdu.

That was definitely the most critical battle for the Zhu Yuanzhang Group.

Zhu Wenzheng led more than 2 people, against dozens of times the number of enemy soldiers, and defended Hongdu for more than a hundred days, beating Chen Youliang in a daze.

Then the main force of Lao Zhu came, and the decisive battle at Poyang Lake established the overall situation in the south and the general trend of unification in the First World War.

After this battle, hundreds of thousands of Zhu Yuanzhang's fierce generals and strong troops were unstoppable.

Destroy Zhang Shicheng, go north to recover the Central Plains, and go straight to Yanyun...

Thinking of this, Zhu Di felt his blood boil and he was very excited.

It's just that because Zhu Wenzheng ended badly, no one dared to mention the fierce battle in Hongdu, and it was gradually forgotten.

Now in the ancestral hall of the heroes, there is actually the seal of the governor of this party, it is really hard work.

In addition, there is a more important treasure in it, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang's "Edict to the Central Plains".

Expel the barbarians and restore China!

Even after hundreds of years, these eight characters are still shining brightly and resoundingly!

It was even used as a second creation.

Zhu Di leaned over and looked at Yu Zhongyuan Xi, with a rare smile on his face.

"Look, that's right. Our Ming Dynasty came here to drive out the barbarians and restore China. The emperor wrote it clearly, and said that the palace is blessed, it's just nonsense!"

Zhu Chun, the king of Shu who was following him, also leaned over to read it carefully, and then sighed: "That's right, that's right! That's it! Your Majesty, I want a copy, take it back and study it carefully."

Zhu Di laughed and said, "Huang Kao said at the beginning that you are a Shu scholar, and that among our brothers, you are the best at reading. I think you can write a better article!"

Zhu Chun blushed slightly, and sighed: "My brother was a fool in the past, and didn't understand it at all. From now on, my brother just wants to keep his feet on the ground and study hard, as long as he doesn't misinterpret the ancients."

Zhu Di nodded, and said happily: "If you have the heart, you will definitely succeed."

Zhu Di took the big guy and looked around... I have to say that Xu Jingchang was very practical. The things collected here were not expensive, let alone glittering treasures, but everything represented the glory of the Ming Dynasty History is a priceless treasure.

Looking around, Zhu Di looked back at his brothers.

"You all talk about it, what's your experience?" Zhu Di asked around, but no one dared to talk to him at first.

After being silent for a while, King Ning Zhu Quan bravely said: "Your Majesty, I want to say a few words, but I am afraid that if I say something wrong, Your Majesty will be offended."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Why are you so timid? I didn't help you pay back the money. The past is over, brothers and sisters, what do I blame you for!"

Encouraged, Zhu Quan finally bravely said: "Returning to Your Majesty, I have two experiences. First, it is really not easy to start a business in the imperial examination. Who would have thought that a monk and beggar would be able to control the world?" , became the lord of China? It was not easy to expel the Hulu and take back the country of the Han family? As for the second, I think it was our Ming Dynasty. , we are reviving the orthodoxy and rebuilding China. It is reasonable to have a different national policy, so there is no need to make a fuss... I wonder what you guys think?"

Zhu Quan's words were very level, the first half of the sentence flattered Lao Zhu, and the second half flattered Zhu Di without a trace.

The Vientiane of the Ming Dynasty was renewed, Zhu Di used any new means to formulate new national policies, you just listen honestly, don’t be naughty, or you will have good fruits to eat.

The vassal kings naturally understood, some agreed and some opposed, but no one dared to refute.

Zhu Di has finished speaking the ugly words, the deal is done, and they are powerless.

There is no way but to agree.

"We all agree with His Majesty's clan regulations. Your Majesty's foresight and foresight are all for the good of the Ming Dynasty, and for the sake of the emperor's foundation."

"It's not easy, Your Majesty, Fourth Brother has worked so hard!"

……

Facing the flattery of a group of younger brothers, Zhu Di showed a gratified smile.

"Okay, let's continue, go to the back to pay homage to King Zhongshan, and pay homage to all meritorious ministers."

Zhu Di was in a good mood, and finally came to a conclusion about the clan issue that had plagued the Ming Dynasty for a long time. Although it was not perfect, it still greatly reduced the burden on the common people.

The news quickly spread to Yingtian, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, and other ministers in the Hall of Martial Ying were very moved.

"Xia Shangshu, can you estimate how much money you can save?"

Prince Zhu Gaochi asked curiously.

Xia Yuanji smiled and said: "Your Highness, needless to say the salary of the palace, a palace has three guards and horses, and various craftsmen. To support the expenses of a palace, it needs to consume the wealth of a palace. I'm afraid Not enough. If it is King Sai, there will be more. I roughly estimate that this kind of benevolent government can also save more than 500 million taels of expenditure. The local people have benefited a lot."

Xia Yuanji paused, and then said: "After the abolition of the palace, the current local situation is very clear. Without the palace farm, clearing the land, it can increase a lot of tax revenue. All in all, this move is of great benefit, benefiting the country and the people. "

Zhu Gaochi was in a good mood, "So Duke Ding has made great contributions again?"

Xia Yuanji was startled, and even though he didn't want to admit it, he nodded his head, "Duke Ding is truly outstanding, he can persuade His Majesty to reform the clan, and his merits are in the world, and the people everywhere will be grateful for the kindness of Duke Ding. "

Zhu Gaochi nodded, "Xia Shangshu can say this, which shows that he is open-minded. I thank Xia Shangshu on behalf of my cousin."

Xia Yuanji hurriedly said: "I'm just telling the truth, I don't dare to go against my will."

Zhu Gaochi praised: "This is very rare, Xia Shangshu, this move has abolished the palaces in various places. I have an idea, which is to turn the palaces in various places into schools."

"Change the palace to a school?" Xia Yuanji became vigilant, "Your Highness, how do you want to change it?"

"It's very simple. It is to convert the original expenditure to the palace into tuition fees, clear the palace, and use it as a school. Then recruit students from all over the world to study in the school. Use Zhujiafan's mansion as a place for scholars from all over the world to study. To support The money and food of the vassal kings are used to cultivate talents for the Ming Dynasty, so this move can be regarded as benefiting the country and the people?"

Xia Yuanji's expression changed constantly, Jian Yi's expression beside him also changed, and the rest of the important officials also changed again and again.

"Your Highness, it is better to save people's energy and let the people rest and recuperate more." Jian Yi said slowly.

Zhu Gaochi said with a half-smile: "It's not like doing nothing to recuperate. And even if the expenditure of the palace is stopped, the money may not be returned to the people. It's better to use it to run schools. I calculated it. In this way, at least Tens of thousands of students can be added.”

Xia Yuanji paused for a moment, wondering: "Your Highness, most of these palaces are located in the north. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for scholars in the south to do this."

Zhu Gaochi laughed suddenly, "Xia Shangshu, have you forgotten that the current situation is that scholars in the south are much better than those in the north! I am also balancing the north and the south!"
