Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 27 Future Planning

"Grandpa Huang, I'm back."

Zhu Xuan left the main hall and first came to Jinshen Hall.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial, raised his head and smiled slightly: "My dear grandson is back. Is there anything new recently?"

"Have!"

Zhu Xuan took out a copy of "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and said, "This is what Uncle Twenty lent to his grandson a few days ago. It is very wonderful."

Luo Guanzhong lived in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, and is said to have been a friend of Chen Youliang. By this time, the book Three Kingdoms had already been written.

"This storybook is very beautiful."

Zhu Xuan said again.

Zhu Yuanzhang flipped through it casually and said, "This is not just a story book. If my good grandson can understand the contents, he will do a lot in the future."

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang had read this storybook.

Although the story of the ancients is written from the perspective of today's people, and there are some mythical contents in it, some of the wisdom, principles, etc. in it are still thought-provoking.

"Chen Youliang back then, if you can ask Luo Guanzhong, it will not be easy for us to conquer this country!" Zhu Yuanzhang recalled the story inside and laughed again.

Zhu Xuan could tell that Lao Zhu was talking about the water battle in Poyang Lake and the chain of iron ropes.

This one still looks similar to the Battle of Red Cliff.

"Of course my grandson can understand."

Zhu Xuan said: "Grandpa Huang, please give your grandson a test."

"OK then!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and asked: "Have you seen Liu Bei take Sichuan and Shu?"

Zhu Xuan nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Pang Tong proposed three strategies to Liu Bei: upper, middle and lower. Why didn't Liu Bei take the best strategy?"

Zhu Xuan thought for a while and said, "This is very simple. Let's take Eunuch Yun as an example."

"Old slave?"

Yun Qi said with a smile on his face: "Young Emperor, please take the old slave as an example."

"I also give Eunuch Yun three strategies."

"The best policy is to get up when the rooster crows every day, read and write, study hard, work hard for a few years, and then take the exam and become famous."

"The middle strategy is to farm hard and do some small jobs to make money. It won't be too hard, and it won't be idle. You can still save a little money, and your life will be stable without worrying about food and drink."

"The best option is to live casually, spend money when you have it, work when you don't have money, just muddle along, don't have much pursuit, and live a fairly carefree life."

"Eunuch Yun, how do you choose?"

Zhu Xuan asked as he spoke.

Yun Qi thought for a while and cooperated: "The best option is too hard, I don't want it. The lower option is too comfortable, but it is only temporary comfort. I will not live well in the future. I really want to choose the best option. I understand, Liu Bei The idea should be similar.”

"Ha ha……"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "My dear grandson analyzed it very well. It seems that he has a thorough understanding of this storybook. How many times have he read it?"

"I haven't finished reading it the first time."

Zhu Xuan said a little proudly.

This little proud person looks very cute.

Yun Qi echoed: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the little emperor is very smart. I have read this book several times, but it is not as profound as the little emperor who didn't finish it once."

"What a good grandson!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood and said again: "Come here, tell Xu Xingzu that today we are going to reward your good grandson and ask the imperial kitchen to make something expensive."

Zhu Xuan cheered: "Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"

——    After dinner.

Zhu Xuan had a big meal and asked Hou Xian to pack a roast chicken back. When he returned to the small yard, he said again: "Hou Xian, you haven't eaten yet, have you? This roast chicken is specially made by me." Saved for you.”

How to treat the people around you also requires skill.

Hou Xian has been following Zhu Xuan for four years, and there is definitely no problem with his loyalty, but occasionally he still has to give small favors to make them feel good, such as now.

"Thank you, little grandson!"

When Hou Xian heard that it was specially reserved for him, he was so moved that he almost cried.

In fact, what the eunuchs in their palace usually eat are leftovers from their masters. Only a very small number of eunuchs, such as Yunqi's status, can eat a bite of normal and fresh food.

Zhu Xuan said: "You don't have to be so polite. You can take it down and eat it slowly while I read a book for a while."

After letting Hou Xian exit, Zhu Xuan opened the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and read it. This was the original "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Those common in modern society are modified versions of some big guys.

Zhu Xuan looked at it for a while and then remembered the salt issue again, so he found paper and pen and briefly wrote about the salt matter. After the hunting was over, he went to his second brother to implement it.

If he wants to support his second brother and push him to the position of heir, he must help his second brother and make some political achievements.

Rectifying the salt affairs of the Ming Dynasty is one of the political achievements.

As for the reform of the tax system, Zhu Xuan is not very clear when Zhu Yuanzhang will implement it. According to Zhu Yuanzhang's idea, it will definitely be implemented, and a bloody storm will inevitably happen.

Zhu Xuan wanted to toss out the reform plan for Daming Salt before the tax reform, and then see if there was an opportunity. If so, he would help his second brother intervene in the tax reform.

"Second brother should also have his own secrets. He may still be hiding his clumsiness, and he may even be using me to get close to Grandpa Huang."

"But he really wants to be good to me. The second brother is very good. This thigh is stable."

Zhu Xuan muttered in his heart.

He could also see that Zhu Yunxi's ability was not as simple as it appeared now.

Zhu Yunxi must be trying to do something, something very special, but it's secret, so he's planning it.

"Second brother, you can believe it."

After two years of investigation, Zhu Xuan came to this conclusion.

-

Time passed quickly and the day of hunting came.

Early in the morning, Zhu Xuan was woken up by Yun Qi who came over and said that Zhu Yuanzhang was ready. The chariot was parked outside and asked Zhu Xuan to go out as soon as possible.

"I'm coming!"

Zhu Xuan washed up randomly, put on tight clothes, tied up his hair, and went out briskly.

Hou Xian is still by his side, and as a personal eunuch, he has to stay close to him.

Walking out of the small courtyard, Zhu Xuan could see that Yan Guan was also beside the chariot.

"Grandpa Huang, your grandson is here!"

Zhu Xuan didn't need to be supported by others, nor did he need to step on other people's backs to get into the car. He jumped hard and was on the carriage in a few clicks, and was tired of being beside Grandpa Huang.

The body that looks like he is six or seven years old can already do a lot of things for him.

"My dear grandson, you went to bed late today."

"It's all Uncle Twenty's fault. I lent my grandson a storybook and it was too late to read it."

"Haha... we will punish him later, let's go."

Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Xuan's hand and shouted outside.

After receiving the order, the guard driving the chariot drove the chariot outside the palace.

A large group of Jinyi guards, as well as Jinwu guards, protected the chariot. Jinwu guards, like Jinyi guards, were one of the twenty-six guards of the Ming Dynasty.

When they arrived at Xuanwumen, they happened to meet Zhu Yunwen's hunting team.
