I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 390: Local officials take on a new look!A strategy to recuperate and recuperate!

Who is this Yang Rong?Why did it appear suddenly?

He also jumped directly into the position of director of the People's Supervision Department!You know, although this position is not a high-ranking position, it is definitely a position that only Zhu Yunxu's confidants can hold!
Yang Shiqi didn't care about it before.

After all, it was Zhu Yunzhen who single-handedly promoted him, but what is the origin of Yang Rong now?
The minister thought carefully.

It took a while to realize who this Yang Rong was. Isn't this the talent selected by the imperial examination this year?It was just that at that time, although this Yang Rong was quite outstanding, he was not taken seriously by everyone because he was too young and had little qualifications.

But now.

But he suddenly became the head of the People's Supervision Department.

He became Zhu Yunzhen's confidant and embarked on the fast track to his official career.

The previous head of the Civil Supervision Department, Yang Shiqi, jumped directly to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!It can be said that it is not too far away from the position of a supreme minister!

But Yang Shiqi is only in his early twenties!
But it's not over.

I saw Zhu Yunxu say again: "Fu Youwen's position was handed over to Yang Pu to assist Yang Shiqi in managing the official department and rectifying the official administration."

"Give the world a bright future!"

what's the situation? !

Another one named Yang? !In this court, people named Yang are almost gathering together!

Could it be that having the surname Yang can gain His Highness's favor?

Many officials have begun to wonder whether they should also change their surname to Yang... But how do they know that Zhu Yunzhen came from later generations and knows the name of Sanyang and the future? A minister who is able to govern the world.

Cultivating begins at this moment.

After Yang Shiqi's previous incident in Chengcheng County, he had achieved enlightenment in prison and made great progress in his character.

Already worthy of the heavy responsibility.

The other two were still immature and needed a period of training before they could assume important positions respectively, so Zhu Yunzhen placed them in the positions of director of the People's Supervision Department and minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs respectively to hone their skills.

Given time, it will surely be reused!
below.

The officials murmured in their hearts, wondering why His Highness valued the young man named Yang so much. However, no matter what, everyone wanted to understand at least one thing, that is, His Highness valued the people very much.

At this point, Zhu Yunzhen placed Yang Shiqi in the People's Supervision Department.

And then Yang Shiqi was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. It can be seen that Zhu Yunzhen's preferences, attaching importance to people's livelihood, and having the appearance of a wise king!
Thinking of this.

Many officials couldn't help but straighten their backs. Although it was tiring to follow a very wise emperor, if they made some achievements, they could also get praise that would go down in history.

It can also benefit future generations.

It's much better than being a corrupt official, but it tests the official's ability even more.

Today, His Highness's methods of dealing with corrupt officials are very bloody.

As for loyal ministers and capable ministers, they are generous with rewards, and even give special rewards many times. This obviously sends an obvious signal. If the officials in the court can't even understand this, then half of their lives will be in vain!

"It seems... we have to find a way to be a good official."

Some cunning and thoughtful officials have begun to understand Zhu Yunzhen's spirit.

I plan to be a good official from tomorrow on.

In this way, he will definitely be able to please His Highness the Grand Sun and get promoted.

And just as this went in and out, the Ming Dynasty's officialdom suddenly became a lot clearer. Many people hid their evil thoughts deep in their hearts. At least on the surface, they already looked extremely noble. .

After finishing the appointment of personnel.

Zhu Yunzhen started talking about another thing.

Over the past few years, the Ming Dynasty has fought many battles and built infrastructure in various places. The manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty have been exhausted. Zhu Yunxu and his delegation from the Shaanxi Provincial Envoy have just discovered that the manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty are not as much as he imagined. abundant.

If this continues.

There may be a slight possibility of repeating the mistakes of the Sui Dynasty.

Even though there was just a slight possibility, Zhu Yunzhen didn't want to see it. Anyway, he was still young. He was less than ten years old and could definitely wait. The so-called dragon lurks in the abyss. In order to take off for nine days, Zhu Yunzhen was willing to spend some time waiting.

The Hongwu Dynasty was originally established through killings.

Back then, the northern land was desolate. Lao Zhu spent his whole life transferring people to the north to repair the devastation of the northern land.

In addition, the war in Hongwu Dynasty never stopped.

In fact, there was not much time for the people to really live a good life. The real population explosion of the Ming Dynasty had to wait until Yongle. After all, although Zhu Dicheng was wandering in the north, he had a prince, Zhu Gaochi, to supervise the country.

Help him handle government affairs, restore people's power, and grasp finances.

This gave Zhu Di the capital to fight in the north all day long.

But now it is only the Hongwu period, not even the Jianwen period. The manpower and material resources available to the Ming Dynasty are really not as much as imagined.

Even reclaiming wasteland has become a problem.

What's more, what about turning more manpower into labor, working in factories or becoming workers in infrastructure construction?
So Zhu Yunzhen's thinking has changed these days.

No longer thinking about quick success, but to stabilize the current situation, take a good rest for a period of time, pursue Huang Lao's learning and rule by inaction, and let Ming Dynasty flourish for a period of time.

It also enriches the people.

At the same time, it also gave the people of Ming Dynasty time to have children.

Have more children and expand the population.

After all, the Ming Empire had a vast territory, with tens of millions of people, which was not even enough to meet the needs of the land of China. Where could the internal demand come from to pursue maritime hegemony?

So Zhu Yunxuan announced directly:

"A few days ago, I had some thoughts during my inspection tour of Shaanxi."

"The people of the Ming Dynasty are still living a bit too hard. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty more than [-] years ago, although the court has been stable, the people have been peaceful."

"But what the people can enjoy is still not enough."

"Although the national highway has not been completed and the water conservancy has not been completed, the people can no longer suffer."

"The government of the Ming Dynasty should be a benevolent government."

"So Gu planned to follow Huang Lao's policy, rule by doing nothing, and cultivate himself for a few years until the Ming Dynasty regains its vitality."

"Let's start pioneering again."

Immediately.

There was once again an uproar in the court, and many courtiers were preparing to show off their talents, but they heard Zhu Yunzhen saying that they wanted to recuperate and restore the Ming Dynasty's national strength.

Suddenly I couldn't help but feel a distress in my heart.

If you miss the opportunity, in the next few years, I'm afraid there will be no chance to use it.

You can only pay your dues and do what you should do.

How can it be outstanding?

How did it attract Zhu Yunzhen's attention?How can you improve your status as much as possible?
But since His Highness Taisun announced the matter directly.

That means that there is no need to discuss this matter at all, and the knowledgeable people in the court also understand what His Highness Taisun did, because today's Ming Dynasty is actually on the edge of the cliff.

Looking back now, it was actually the best choice.

If you just stubbornly walk on the edge of the cliff, you may not really get into trouble, but the risk will indeed increase a lot.

In terms of understanding of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that even Zhu Yunzhen does not have as deep an understanding of the Ming Dynasty as they do.

In fact, the national power of the Ming Dynasty has always been on a borderline that is barely balanced. Manpower is needed to open up wasteland in the north, to fight in the north, to maintain stability in the southwest, and to transport and guard Japan.

And factories, national highways, water conservancy, Jinling Yangtze River Bridge, which one does not require manpower?
But the population of Ming Dynasty may not even be able to cultivate the land to the south!
In recent years, the total grain output of the Ming Dynasty has been increasing year by year. The reason is that the cultivated land in the Ming Dynasty has not been fully utilized.There are still many areas in a state of desolation.

In the successive wars decades ago, it was turned into a white field.

More than twenty years have passed, and it has not been completely reorganized.

The population also failed to recover.

You must know that at the end of the Song Dynasty, the population was about 5000 million. In the decades of the Yuan Dynasty, and the uprising armies in various places continued to war, by the time the Ming Dynasty was established, the population was only about [-] million.

It was not until the 27th year of Hongwu that the number recovered to more than 6000 million and less than 7000 million.

Most of these people are concentrated in the south, and the north is still a piece of red land, so His Highness Taisun's decision is absolutely wise.

The ministers of the DPRK and China will not object at all.

And if you have too many days of hard work, you will always want to live some more relaxed days.

Finally, the Ming Dynasty's national power became increasingly prosperous.

The ministers also wanted to live a peaceful life for a few days and enjoy themselves.

Although their starting points were different, Zhu Yunzhen and the ministers had the same idea this time, and they all wanted to stop and rest for a while.

It's just the source of Zhu Yunxuan's thoughts.

But it was the remnants of Fen Sixth Life who stopped temporarily, but in fact it was for a better start and to accumulate foundation for the Ming Dynasty.

But no matter what, the matter was implemented.

.........

Yangshan.

After returning from Shaanxi.

Zhu Yunxu had never been to Yangshan before, but this time he finally finished handling most of the things, and Zhu Yunxu was finally free.

Come to Lao Zhu to report the recent Ming Dynasty affairs.

After all, Lao Zhu was still the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If he didn't tell Lao Zhu anything, he would just take matters into his own hands.

It seems a bit too cool and the tea is too cold.

The loss of a bit of human touch also made Lao Zhu feel a little uncomfortable, although this would not have any impact on Zhu Yunzhen's position as grandson.

But Zhu Yunxuan still didn't want to let this son who had already lost several high hopes for him.

As well as the grandson's old man, he was once again disappointed.

Regardless of Lao Zhu's merits and demerits in his life, descendants will naturally comment. As Lao Zhu's grandson, what Zhu Yunzhen should do now is to stay with Lao Zhu as long as he lives.

"Grandpa Huang, this is what happened in Shaanxi."

On Yangshan.

Zhu Yunxuan first told Lao Zhu about many things that happened in Shaanxi.

Lao Zhu burst into applause.

"Good! He is indeed our grandson! He is decisive in killing and has our style!"

"For these corrupt officials, Ling Chi has given them an advantage!"

Lao Zhu's disgust for corrupt officials is almost self-evident.

But then.

Lao Zhu couldn't help but sigh.

Said: "Oh, it's a pity that another old brother has to scare all officials with his head."

"Otherwise, most of your trip to Shaanxi, Xi'er, will be wasted."

When it was found that Fu Youwen was the protective umbrella for these corrupt officials in Shaanxi, Fu Youde had to die, because everyone knew whose face Fu Youwen relied on to have the confidence to serve as the protective umbrella for these corrupt officials.

If Fu Youde had not died.

In the future, corrupt officials will follow suit and find the same respected founding heroes as their backers.

At that time, will Zhu Yunxian be killed or not?

And Fu Youde's immortality, doesn't it mean that in Zhu Yunzhen's heart, the life and death of the people is not as important as the powerful?
Undoubtedly, it fundamentally shaken the idea of ​​diligence and love for the people that Zhu Yunzhen instilled in all officials.

It will be detrimental to Zhu Yunxun's future rule of the Ming Dynasty.

So no matter who it is, when it comes to this point, he must die!

Fortunately, Fu Youde was smart enough and did not make Zhu Yunzhen too embarrassed. He only sacrificed himself in exchange for the prosperity and wealth of his family.

Zhu Yunzhen will still remember his death and take care of his family.

After talking about his trip to Shaanxi, Zhu Yunxuan talked about his plan to recuperate.

Lao Zhu immediately slapped his thigh.

He praised: "I thought you didn't know how to stop, Fu'er, and you needed us to remind you."

"I didn't expect you to realize this level."

"Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has been conquering the south and the north, and it has just gained such a broad territory, but for this land in the north, the Ming Dynasty has really paid too much!"

"Although the Ming Dynasty's national power is booming."

"But at this critical moment, choosing to stop and rest for a while may be better than reluctantly issuing a decree."

"It would be much better to go on with the exhausted Daming."

Speaking of which.

Lao Zhu couldn't help but think of his dead eldest son Zhu Biao.

Although he is a prince in name.

But in fact, in the period after Lao Zhu, Zhu Biao also acted as the emperor's supervisor and handled all matters very well.

If it weren't for the governor of Shaanxi and his party, they would have died of serious illness.

They should also choose to let Ming Dynasty rest and recuperate for a period of time, so that Ming Dynasty's national power can develop to its peak.

This is the wise choice.

Why did Lao Zhu never consider Zhu Di, who was most like himself, to inherit the throne?One thing is very important, that is, Lao Zhu knew that if Zhu Di became emperor, he would definitely be a master who couldn't help but tossing things around!

In fact, Zhu Di did so.

As an emperor, he could not sit quietly in the court, but he ran to the battlefield in the north all day long.

Zhu Di was definitely the first emperor to enshrine the wolf in Xu, and the only one in history!
But there are also many disadvantages to doing so.

At least Ming's national power has not developed as much as it should in these decades, because with Ming's potential, there should be better room for development in these decades.

Even if he hadn't given birth to a good son, Zhu Gaochi would have been in charge of the overall situation in the court.

Maybe this Ming Dynasty is really likely to go bankrupt due to Zhu Di's torment.

During the prosperous age of Yongle, the civil, political and martial arts were indeed extraordinary, but when it came to the economy, there was no normal development at all. It was only after Yongle that it slowly reached its peak.

But at what point...

The Ming Dynasty also began to turn from prosperity to decline.
