If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 24 Xia Yuanji’s curiosity
In the end, I don’t know whether it was everyone’s persuasion that worked, or Jian Yi’s persuasion that made Zhu Di hesitate. In short, the emperor did not implement the reform immediately. Instead, he asked the prince Zhu Gaochi to take the lead, and joined forces with the important ministers of the court and the emperor’s grandson Zhu Zhanquan. Discuss a suitable plan to solve the three problems raised by Zhu Zhanchun.

"Although I agree that you will not implement reforms for the time being, you must come up with a feasible plan for me. I will give you three months to discuss a plan that can solve these problems within ten years." Zhu Di He set the standard arrogantly, but the time he set made Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji breath a sigh of relief.

Three months of discussion was enough time for these top civil servants to come up with a complete plan.

Although it may be a bit difficult for them to think of a solution, it is not difficult for these civil servants to come up with a proper implementation plan based on the various reform policies put forward by Zhu Zhanquan as a reference. of.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the Second Emperor and Grandson, today thanks to the persuasion of the Xian father and son, the Emperor did not immediately implement the reform, thank you so much!" After leaving the Shangshu Room, the sky was filled with stars outside, Jian Yi cupped his hands and said to Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhankun Thank you.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he was the head of the officials in the Ming Dynasty when the prime minister was abolished and before the rise of the cabinet. If Zhu Di is really asked to start reforming now, he will definitely be in a position where he will not be criticized both inside and outside. , so Jian Yi was still very grateful to the prince and his son.

And this is not the most critical thing. What is more critical is that Jian Yi knows that the country's economic situation has just experienced the Northern Expedition, and it really cannot withstand the turmoil caused by a reform.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly treated Jian Yi politely: "Jian Shangshu is being polite. If it weren't for this stinky boy Zhanjun, we wouldn't have been in such trouble. It would be fine if Jian Shangshu didn't blame this boy. Why?" How dare you let Minister Jian say thank you!"

Although both the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Hubu are princelings, they still need to be polite at this moment.

Zhu Zhanquan didn't interrupt at this time, he just stood next to his fat father and acted obediently, as if he was really feeling sorry for the trouble he had caused everyone to suffer so much.

"His Highness the Second Emperor's grandson's fault is not a problem. There are still such big drawbacks in the imperial court. It is a huge dereliction of duty for me, as a minister, not to discover them. How can I dare to accuse His Highness of discovering the problems?" Jian Yi is worthy of being the leader of hundreds of officials. , who has been the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs since the Jianwen Dynasty, said very politely: "His Highness can point out these problems and have done a great service to the country. If it were not the wrong time today, I would still have to ask the Emperor for a reward for His Highness. !”

Jian Yi said, and gave Zhu Zhanquan a half salute as a thank you for discovering these problems.

However, after Zhu Zhanquan returned the gift, Jian Yi still said to Zhu Gaochi with a wry smile: "But Your Highness, if you encounter this kind of thing next time, can you discuss it with me first and then hand over the certificate?" ? After all the hard work today, my back is still wet."

When Zhu Gaochi heard what Jian Yi said, he quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The main reason is that when I saw the brochure today, I was suddenly frightened by the disaster of national subjugation. I didn't have time to think about it and wanted to take it. If you hand over the book, it will bring trouble to the two ministers."

Zhu Gaochi said and saluted Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji again.After the two ministers hurriedly returned the courtesy, Xia Yuanji turned his eyes to Zhu Zhanchun, who had been silent for a long time, and asked him curiously: "Your Highness the Second Emperor, you just mentioned in front of the emperor that you should first reform the banknote law to make the treasury more profitable." I wonder if His Highness the Second Emperor Sun has any strategy for reforming the banknote law?
To be honest, although I am in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, the treasure banknote system of our dynasty is inherited from the former Yuan Dynasty, and has been devalued seriously. The new banknotes of Yiguan Wen will depreciate soon after they are issued, and the old banknotes are like waste paper. The Ministry of Revenue only New banknotes can be issued continuously to maintain it.

The whole household department is already very worried about this, it is really unimaginable!If Your Highness has a strategy that can save the treasure, I would be very grateful to everyone in the household! "

"Xia Shangshu is so polite. Who doesn't know that Xia Shangshu is the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty? He is in charge of the household treasury and in front of the entire Ming Dynasty family. He has worked so hard that even my grandfather respects you Xia Shangshu!" Zhu Zhanquan After being polite to Xia Yuanji, he said to him: "Solving the problem of banknote method cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. If Xia Shangshu has time, he might as well go boating on the Qinhuai River with my father and me tomorrow. Can I explain it to Xia Shangshu in detail when the time comes?"

"So... I will bother you tomorrow." Xia Yuanji hesitated for a moment, but quickly agreed to Zhu Zhancheng's invitation.

Seeing Xia Yuanji's agreement, Zhu Zhanjuan smiled with satisfaction and said, "In that case, I'll bother Xia Shangshu to make the trip tomorrow. It's already late today, so the two ministers should go back early to rest."

After hearing what Zhu Zhanqun said, Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji said nothing more, said goodbye to them and hurried out of the palace.

Although both of them are senior officials at the level of the Six Ministers, it is already dark at this moment. Not only the palace gates of the imperial city are locked, but also the gates of the inner city are closed. It will be some time before these two adults want to go home and sleep. We have a long way to go. If we don’t hurry up, we really don’t have to go back. We can directly prepare for tomorrow’s morning meeting.

On the other hand, Zhu Zhanchuan and Zhu Gaochi, father and son, did not need to be in such a hurry and were taking a leisurely walk.

"Zhanju, your response to your grandfather today is still somewhat lacking. You shouldn't say all the suggestions at once." Zhu Gaochi held his son's hand and taught him earnestly: "Your grandfather is impatient. Today Fortunately, you were persuaded, otherwise, if the imperial court really started to reform according to your grandfather's temper, the world would really be in chaos."

Regarding Zhu Gaochi's words, Zhu Zhanqi could only shake his head helplessly and said: "Father, how did I know that you, the old man, just handed over the fold without asking anyone to discuss it? Even if you really want to hand over the fold, anyway, Let’s find someone to discuss a strategy first, right? How can you just hand it over directly? Isn’t this just asking Grandpa to get angry?”

"Hey, what you wrote in the book is not so scary. If our Ming Dynasty really only has less than a hundred years of national destiny, then our Zhu family will really be doomed!" Zhu Gaochi's face was full of concern for the country and the people at this time, which was really true. A bit of a benevolent gentleman: "By the way, what you mentioned to me about the Kong family before is preparation for the gentry to work together as errands and pay food?"

"That's about it. It's more than that. Dad, please listen to me and tell you slowly..." Zhu Zhanquan supported his fat father and explained to him in detail while walking outside the palace.
