Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

Liu Xiu's words were loud and firm, and his words were full of firmness.

As if a sage was preaching, every word made Zhu Yuanzhang's soul shake,

As if if you don't do what Liu Xiu said, what Liu Xiu said will definitely happen in the future!

Xu Da and Song Zan were clearly convinced by Liu Xiu,

The two couldn't help looking at Zhu Yuanzhang,

I saw Zhu Yuanzhang frowning tightly, still in a twisted look,

Just because Liu Xiu's set is completely opposite to Zhu Yuanzhang's own set,

However, all the things that happened in Daming all confirmed Liu Xiu's words.

Zhu Yuanzhang also knows that his own way is not easy to use,

If he were to use Liu Xiu's tricks, he wouldn't be able to make up his mind right away.

Because this is not playing games, but actually managing a country with a vast territory and diverse ethnic groups!

Even a small decision will affect the people of the world,

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been cautious in making decisions!

What's more, is it such a big turnaround decision? !

Zhu Yuanzhang still can't make up his mind!

Or, still lack a fire!

Chapter 288 The Salary Reform of Ming Officials

After thinking about it, finally, Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind and said,

"Okay! Try this method in Anqing Mansion first, and if it works, it will be promoted to the whole world."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he let out a long sigh of relief,

The current situation does not allow him to think more,

He doesn't mind raising the butcher knife, but what he minds is...

After killing one crop after another, there is no effect at all.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, this was extremely frustrating!

Suhu is cooked, the world is full,

Wudi has become the economic center of the world since the Southern Song Dynasty, and if it is to develop business, Wudi is naturally the best choice.

If the Liu family can really do it and provide employment to the people in Wu who have no arable land,

Then Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't mind extending this method to the entire Ming Dynasty,

That is to say, Wu has become an experimental site for whether to change the national policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Xiu, his expression relaxed a lot,

After obviously making the most difficult decision, Zhu Yuanzhang has begun to adapt to Liu Xiu's opinion slowly.

Speaking of which, Zhu Yuanzhang did not suddenly change at this time,

It was only after Liu Xiu continued to be influenced, intentionally or unintentionally, that Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts slowly changed.

Otherwise, with Zhu Yuanzhang's stubbornness, once he decides something, even nine cows will not be able to pull it back!

"After listening to our policy of enriching the people, I think it is good, so what about the policy of enriching officials?"

"When the people get richer and the tax revenue increases, the national treasury will naturally be abundant.

The salaries of the officials of the Ming Dynasty were already low, so why don't your Majesty raise their salaries?

According to the salary of the Ming Dynasty, even some local officials could not meet the basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation.

This forced them to embezzle.

If the salary is raised, I believe that a large number of officials will change their attitudes.

From a vacillating corrupt official to an honest official! "

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang kept rubbing his thighs with his hands,

Two dark and long eyebrows are tightly entangled together,

Obviously,

For Zhu Yuanzhang, improving the treatment of officials is more difficult to decide than allowing the common people to develop business!

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he turned his gaze to Xu Da and asked,

"Is the salary we give officials really low?"

Xu Da looked a little embarrassed, he really didn't want to answer this question,

But after thinking about it, since I have been tied to the same boat with my son-in-law,

The son-in-law's Sanfu plan should be the first to support it!

If you don't give your son-in-law a platform at this time, when will you wait? !

Seeing Xu Da cautiously observing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, he tentatively said,

"Your Majesty, it seems...it's really a little less..."

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Da said this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately turned livid,

I completely forgot what I just said,

Advisers who like outspoken words.

Sure enough, it was Aiwujiwu who treated Liu Xiu differently!

I saw Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him with bull's eyes, and said in a low voice,

"That's because you live too extravagantly. If we were in the past, we wouldn't need two big silvers for a year!

Why is it not enough to come to you? ! "

Xu Da could only nod his head in agreement, in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, how can he still look like a dignified prince?

Shrink your neck, say whatever you want!

But Xu Da couldn't help but slander in his heart,

Your Majesty, you are indeed frugal, but you only spend two dollars a year, which is pure nonsense!

But Xu Da could only say it in his heart, even if he borrowed ten more courage, he would not dare to say these words in person!

"Xiu'er, tell me, isn't the money we gave them not enough?!"

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's coercion, Liu Xiu said calmly,

"Your Majesty, this account cannot be calculated like this!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone,

"Oh? Then tell us how to settle this account?!"

"Your Majesty, when you mentioned two silver coins, it was the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the economy was sluggish, not to mention spending money,

There must be [-]% of people who can't even eat!

Therefore, the basic living requirement for people at the end of the Yuan Dynasty is to have a meal.

But now the Great Ming Hongwu is in its prime,

The world is feasting and the people are rich,

Naturally, the standard of living should also be improved, and the basic necessities of life should not be regarded as rewards.

Rather, it should be the bottom line that every Daming person can achieve,

And the officials of Ming Dynasty are the elite class of Ming Dynasty,

Your Majesty's comparison of the standards of the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty with the standards of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is somewhat biased. "

After Liu Xiu said something, Xu Da immediately cast admiring gazes,

My own mouth is stupid as hell, but look at our son-in-law's mouth, it's like talking lotus flowers!

What is the art of language?

This is called the art of language!

What he said was derogatory and praiseful, which made Zhu Yuanzhang wish his beard would fly off.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang let go of his momentum, his face was full of complacency, and he criticized,

"Well, Xiu'er, you are right, we really missed this matter!

Those Tartars have turned the Central Plains into a mess. Speaking of which, let's wipe their backs!

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the people were so hungry that they couldn't even eat, but under our rule, we can't guarantee anything else!

As long as he is willing to work hard, he will definitely have a bite to eat!

Compared with our Daming at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it is indeed a loss!

In this way, the salaries of officials should be raised, but how should they be raised?

Do you have any ideas? "

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da and Song Zan,

Liu Xiu talked for a long time, talking about dry mouth,

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Xu Da and the two to talk about their opinions, because he wanted to let Liu Xiu rest for a while.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to hear other opinions!

Xu Da and Song Zan were taken aback by Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden question,

He hesitated for a long time, but didn't say anything.
