Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 120 I’m tired and sick ([-])

"The servants told the royal guards who came to deploy craftsmen: 'We are building the Huimin Medical Center under the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince. The craftsmen you are deploying to build the medical center must get the Crown Prince's permission, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the Crown Prince.'"

"But those guards of the clan king said, 'We are here to mobilize the craftsmen on the order of the prince of the dynasty, and we will send them back soon. If you wait, it will cause discord between the clan king and the prince, which is a serious crime.'"

Hou Xian said with a tearful tone: "Because of this, I don't dare to stop you anymore."

Zhu Gaoxu sneered: "What a 'causing discord between the prince and the prince'."

Jinling Changke Academy was built under the order of Zhu Yuanzhang, and when the main building of the academy was completed, the kings had not yet entered the capital.

The director of the Jinling Women's Pavilion was Empress Xu, and Zhu Di ordered its construction. Therefore, when building the Women's Pavilion, the kings did not dare to send people to recruit craftsmen.

Not to mention Mo Qiaosi and the Royal Bank, they were privately owned by Zhu Di. Even if they gave the kings a hundred courages, they would not dare to send guards to extract people from the craftsmen who built Mo Qiaosi or the Royal Bank.

However, Huimin Medical Center is different. As you can tell from the name, it is a medical center similar to Huimin Pharmacy, mainly for ordinary people.

In the view of King Dai, King Ning and other clan kings, even if Zhu Di knew that they had dispatched the craftsmen who built the medical center to renovate the mansion, he would not order to punish them. At most, he would give them a lecture.

After all, Huimin Medical Center was built one day earlier and one day later, which would not affect Zhu Di's reputation for benevolence and righteousness.

Zhu Gaoxu was so smart that he guessed in just a few breaths why the craftsmen dispatched by King Dai, King Ning and other princes to build the medical center were confident.

He seemed to be able to imagine that when he went to report this matter to Zhu Di, there was a [-]% chance that Zhu Di would nod his head, say "I understand", and then expose the matter.

why?
Because Zhu Gaoxu knew very well that in the eyes of Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, although the Huimin Medical Center played a huge role, it was essentially the same thing as the Huimin Pharmacy. They were both manifestations of the court's implementation of benevolent and good governance.

In the third year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to set up Huimin Pharmacy, which was managed by the government and managed by official doctors in prefectures and counties. All poor and sick soldiers and civilians could go to the pharmacy to see a doctor and get medicine without charging a penny.

Historically, after King Yan Zhu Di Jingnan successfully ascended the throne, he once again issued an edict to build the Huimin Pharmacy in order to prevent the pharmacy from becoming a mere formality.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty also issued an edict emphasizing that various localities should not neglect the construction of Huimin Pharmacy. Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty even issued an edict to allow Huimin Pharmacy to treat prisoners.

When medical conditions were scarce in ancient times, Huimin Pharmacy donated medicines and medicines to countless poor people, which could solve the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment for poor people.

Although the construction of the Benefiting Medical Center was a benevolent and good government effort by the imperial court to win over the people, Zhu Gaoxu believed that Zhu Di would definitely feel that repairing the palaces of the kings in Beijing was a major event compared with building the medical center.

It is better for the kings to focus on renovating their houses than causing trouble in the capital.

Although Zhu Di hoped that the medical center would be put into use next year, that was just a hope. He had to consider practical issues. Therefore, if the Huimin Medical Center could not be built in half a year, it would take another half a year, as long as it was completed.

"Young Master Hou, the progress of building the medical center can be slowed down, but we must ensure that the medical center can be officially used before June next year. If there is really not enough manpower, I allow you to recruit farmers as helpers depending on the situation."

After Zhu Gaoxu figured out these key points, he believed that it was not appropriate to conflict with several clan kings over this trivial matter at the moment.

As a prince, he must be able to accommodate others, not to mention that King Dai and King Ning are his uncles.

But Zhu Gaoxu did not intend to compromise on this. He wanted to treat others in the same way as others.

"From now on, you should focus mainly on recruiting doctors with real skills." Zhu Gaoxu gave Hou Xian new instructions for the next step of his work. Then he comforted Hou Xian a few words and drove back to the palace. went.

He hurried back to the palace in order to have lunch with Crown Princess Li Yao.

After Zhu Gaoxu was promoted to the crown prince, he was first busy with the affairs of Jinling Changke Academy. After the academy got on track, he started building the Jinling Women's Hall.

After preparing to establish Mo Qiaosi at the end of last year, he was busy recruiting craftsmen and selecting Taoist priests like Ren Ziyuan.

While doing these things, he also often visited the Longjiang Shipyard, the Military War Bureau, and the Baoyuan Bureau to provide opinions on improving sea-going ships, firearms, and treasure banknotes.

After the Ming Dynasty Royal Bank was officially launched, he continued to be busy with banking affairs.

Since Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, Zhu Gaoxu has been presiding over one thing after another, which can be said to be very busy.

In the early stages of establishment of these institutions, he had to personally design the systems, implement them, and monitor the progress. He could not and could not rely on others. Only after things were on track could he gradually withdraw and focus on the big ones and let go of the small ones.

Just like now, Zhu Gaoxu inspects Jinling Academy, Women's Hall, Military War Bureau, and Mo Qiaosi every now and then to grasp the core affairs. After all, these four institutions with different functions all have relatively mature regulations.

At present, the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty is a start-up, and many systems are imperfect. Fortunately, Xia Yuanji, the financial minister of the Ming Dynasty, and another minister of the Ministry of Revenue are assisting, otherwise Zhu Gaoxu feels that he will be exhausted.

Because of this, whenever time and conditions permit, he will try his best to go back to the palace to have dinner with his family. Otherwise, after being busy with affairs and forming a habit, he is likely to neglect his family, which is not conducive to the stability of the family.

Many affairs that Zhu Gaoxu did could not bypass Zhu Di and Empress Xu. Almost every morning, he would have breakfast with Zhu Di and Empress Xu, and report on the status of the things he was handling.

But for Wang Qihong, who gave birth to a son and a daughter, it was really difficult for Zhu Gaoxu to take full care of her.

According to the rules of the harem, although Wang Qihong has the title of talented person, she is still not qualified to eat at the same table as Zhu Gaoxu and Li Yao, and Zhu Gaoxu has no intention of pampering his concubine and destroying his wife.

So usually, Zhu Gaoxu would have lunch with Li Yao, and occasionally he would go to Wang Qihong's residence to have lunch with him.

As for evenings, in most cases Zhu Gaoxu would eat alone in the side room next to the study room in Chunhe Hall.

Of course, he would also take advantage of official communication to entertain one or two courtiers for dinner from time to time to win people's hearts.

Because Wang Qihong gave birth to an heir for Crown Prince Zhu Gaoxu, when Li Yao was canonized as the crown princess, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di took advantage of the situation and made Wang Qihong a talented person in accordance with the Ming Dynasty clan regulations.

According to the Ming Dynasty regulations, there are talented people, selected attendants, and ladies under the crown prince.

Among them, Caiwei has the highest title of concubine of the crown prince, and her status is second only to the crown princess. In the early Ming Dynasty, she was commonly known as the partial concubine (not the side concubine).

As for the selection of attendants and ladies, they are titles that have no rank but only status. Although they are titles, there is no grand ceremony to enshrine the title of selection of attendants or ladies. It is often completed in the form of an imperial edict appointing someone as the selection of attendants or ladies for the East Palace. .

Historically, Emperor Tianqi's biological mother, Wang Cairen, and Emperor Chongzhen's biological mother, Liu Shunu, were both titled by Ming Guangzong when he was the crown prince.

Attached historical data: In the third month of the spring of Bingwu in Wanli, the first son of the crown prince was born. His biological mother was appointed by the emperor to be the minister of the royal family. He had not been given a title. The cabinet and the Ministry of Rites were ordered to submit the proposal.The prince's concubine was initially proposed, but he was not allowed to do so.She also imitates the crown prince's wife, which is not holy.He then issued an imperial edict, promoted him to be a talented person, and gave each of the "Huang Ming Ceremony" to the Pavilion Department.In the book, the crown prince, his wife, and his concubine were appointed concubines, and they all paid homage to talented people. The instructions are very clear, and they were ordered to be kept for future reference.
