The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 118 Smash them all
However, Lao Zhu's frustration came and went even faster, and the next moment it turned into relief:
"It seems that you have a deeper understanding of the economy."

Zhu Biao said modestly: "The economy is vast and profound, and I only have a superficial understanding of it."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "The superficial knowledge is enough for now. Besides, you are a king, so you don't need to know everything deeply."

"It's enough to know what's going on. Leave other things to those who know the ropes."

Zhu Biao nodded: "Yes, I did find a few good seedlings recently, and I just happened to be able to cultivate them."

"Recently, I am leading them to study taxation and strive to formulate more appropriate tax laws as soon as possible."

Zhu Yuanzhang said uncertainly: "Is business tax going to be collected?"

Zhu Biao thought for a moment before saying, "Not just commercial taxes, but the entire tax system may have to change."

"And I think it would be better not to have a business tax in recent years."

Zhu Yuanzhang said doubtfully: "Oh, why?"

Zhu Biao explained: "The world has been in turmoil for decades, and it has only been 16 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. There are many wastes waiting to be revitalized."

"Tax exemption can stimulate business development, and the prosperity of business can drive the prosperity of all industries."

Zhu Yuanzhang half understood, but he did not ask further questions, but said:

"Then let the world know that businessmen should also pay taxes."

“If you don’t pay taxes now, the court is taking care of them so that they don’t take it for granted.”

Zhu Biao said: "This is the reason. If they think that not paying taxes is a matter of course, I am afraid some people will be resentful if they collect taxes in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang said murderously: "Whoever dares to complain should not blame us for being rude."

Zhu Biao didn't say anything. He felt that simple killing could not solve the problem before, and it was even more so now.

However, the old man spent his entire life in the military and was used to using a knife to solve problems, so there was no need to argue with him about right and wrong.

What's more, sometimes it's just more straightforward and simple to use a knife.

The two chatted for a while, and then Zhu Biao left.

Looking at his son's leaving figure, Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased and looked more and more like a monarch.

I used to teach him by myself, but now I can't keep up with his ideas.

Including this world, he also felt more and more unfamiliar.

He can barely understand currency, but economics is completely beyond his understanding.

As Zhu Biao said just now, use treasure money to observe the local economic situation.

He felt that he understood something, but when he thought about it carefully, he was still confused.

In the past, he always acted arbitrarily, but now he would subconsciously consult Zhu Biao for every major decision.

He was afraid that he would take things for granted and make some mistakes that would affect his layout.

He was really scared at first, but slowly he accepted it.

Of course, the reason he could accept it was that his son understood.

Otherwise, he will inevitably take action to bring the world back to the rhythm he is familiar with.

When did this strange feeling begin?
Think about it carefully, it was after Chen Jingke appeared.

This man suddenly appeared and saved first his eldest grandson and then his wife.

He also possesses a unique ability.

He sent many people to check Chen Jingke's past. It was very simple, as simple as a blank sheet of paper.

But the more this happened, the more confused he became.

Where did Chen Jingke's skills come from?
Love reading?Highly talented?
No matter how talented he is and how much he likes reading, he can't comprehend these things by himself.

Even if there is a famous teacher to teach him step by step, it is impossible to cultivate such outstanding disciples in just a few years.

He had also thought about whether Chen Jingke was not Chen Yuan's son?
But this idea immediately collapsed.

The father and son look very similar, and as they grow older, Chen Jingke looks more and more like Chen Yuan.

Wherever the two of them go, no one will doubt their relationship.

In the end, he could only attribute everything to Su Hui.

It would be great if his surname was Zhu, Zhu Yuanzhang thought with regret.

But it's not bad now. Chen Jingke's relationship with the royal family is getting closer and closer.

The key is to never be self-respecting and be willing to teach your abilities to others.This is another reason why he can tolerate Chen Jingke.

Inadvertently, my hand knocked over a thick pile of memorials on the table.

He didn't pick it up, but looked at the collapsed memorial with a cold look in his eyes.

They were all about impeaching Mao Xiang, and we received dozens of them every day.

Some of them are based on rumors and are written in a mess.

But there is more solid evidence.

It can be said that if all these are implemented, the nine Maoxiang clans can be killed several times.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed them all.

Now is not the time to clean up Mao Xiang.

He wanted to use Mao Xiang to smash all the intricate local forces and clear the way for Zhu Biao's reforms.

The effect is very significant.

This was the reason why the Financial Bureau was so easily accepted by the local government.

But these are not enough. Knowing that the court wants to boost people's confidence in Baobao, there are still people who dare to suppress it privately and make profits from it.

It shows that the killing is not ruthless enough, and there are still local forces trying to fight against the imperial court.

He wants to tear them all to pieces.

Dealing with Mao Xiang will have to wait at least until tax reform.

At that time, the prince will step forward to deal with Mao Xiang and his gang, and then reorganize the Jin Yiwei.

He will receive praise and support from both the government and the opposition.

Doing this will make you infamous, but so what?
We just want to clear the obstacles for Biao'er and hand over a complete Ming Dynasty to him.

In the future, he will definitely be stronger than us and will become a holy king in people's mouth.

The same goes for our good grandson, he must be a wise king.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

As soon as he thought of this, he heard Sun Fu say cautiously outside the door:

"Your Majesty, your grandson is here."

The gloom on Zhu Yuanzhang's face disappeared and was replaced by pampering:

"Oh, my dear grandson is here, come in quickly."

Zhu Xiongying felt the wind at his feet and came to him in a flash: "Grandpa Huang, you are looking for me."

Zhu Yuanzhang said kindly: "Grandpa Huang has nothing to do, he just wants to see you."

"By the way, Dad is going to do something big recently, so you should go to him more often."

"Look carefully and study hard, and you will benefit a lot."

"I have already made an agreement with Mr. Ye, you don't have to worry about him."

Zhu Xiongying said excitedly: "Are you going to start exchanging treasure banknotes?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then shook his head: "Not entirely, your father has to do something bigger than this."

Zhu Xiongying was a little surprised, bigger than this?What is that?
Zhu Yuanzhang added: "If you don't understand anything, just ask Chen Jingke."

Zhu Xiongying was puzzled at first, but soon realized that he was going to act as a microphone.

But why not ask Chen Jingke directly?
Zhu Yuanzhang did not explain. Zhu Biao would naturally go to Chen Jingke to discuss it. This was actually to cultivate Zhu Xiongying.

In the process of passing the message, he will also think subconsciously.

This will deepen his impression of these issues and help his learning.

The reason why it takes so much trouble is not to teach directly.

It's because some of the questions are obscure and boring to learn.

In this way, teaching can be made more interesting.

After checking Zhu Xiongying's homework again, Lao Zhu ended the conversation.

He took out the calligraphy he had just written and handed it to Zhu Xiongying:
"Give this calligraphy to Chen Jingke and say that I gave it to him."
