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

This also makes all the corrupt officials feel at ease,

We suffer such great crimes every day, what’s wrong with being greedy for money?

Fu Youde, Duke of Ying, Li Shanchang, Duke of South Korea, Xu Da, Duke of Wei, Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, Tang He, Duke of Xin, Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding and others stood in front of the officials.

These Ming heroes who have made great contributions are not squinting, but their minds are running fast, just because too many things happened yesterday,

The empty printing case was suddenly stopped, the war in Yunnan was tense, the country's finances had another big hole, and Queen Ma was rescued...

Just mentioning any major event is enough to shake the government and the public, but last night was strangely quiet,

No one knows what the person sitting on the dragon chair is thinking,

And there is a name behind these big events,

Liu Xiu.

Even people with no political sense can know that,

Daming, the sky is about to change.

And how to deal with Liu Xiu will directly affect everyone.

Wei Guogong Xu Da stood at the front, with lowered eyebrows and narrowed eyes, looking drowsy, no one could see what he was thinking,

Ever since he was made the Grand Tutor and added Wei Guogong, Xu Da's behavior has become more and more low-key.

It was rumored that Xu Da had a daughter late in life. There was a daughter named Miaoyun in her family. She was beautiful in appearance and virtuous in character, but Xu Da refused to let Xu Miaoyun talk about marriage, but asked her to learn how to form troops at home.

From this we can see how weird Xu Da's actions in recent years have been.

But even so, the old buddies who experienced fighting the world together did not dare to underestimate Xu Da. Everyone knows that Xu Da, a lion, is untouchable.

Chapter 36

Just as the officials were thinking wildly, a voice pierced the darkness,

"Go up!"

There was a commotion in the ranks of hundreds of officials, and they kept the queue and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After all, no one wants to stand here and suffer the cold before dawn.

It is naturally best to be able to enter the house early.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhu Yuanzhang sat high on the dragon chair and looked down at the officials who entered the court. Compared with these officials, Lao Zhu was judged by his mental state.

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed secretly in his heart,

They're all fucking eggplants beaten by Shuang, it's unlucky to see them in the morning!

Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down, "I was stabbed by a kid yesterday, and my policy will drag down the Ming Dynasty's finances. I think you all thought about countermeasures when you went back last night. Come, talk to me."

All the officials were shocked, and the big guy's head was still frozen like a paste. Unexpectedly, Lao Zhu immediately started a surprise inspection.

Housekeeper Guo Heng sneered in his heart,

Hehe, I still have to think of a way. I think the best way is to cut off the royal family's salary.

However, Guo Heng can also say in his heart that if he were to say it in front of Lao Zhu, he would not dare to lend him a hundred guts.

Seeing the silence of the officials, old Zhu Long glanced at the officials and called them by name, "Let's talk about the household department first. Guo Heng, come here."

Guo Heng trembled all over. He didn't expect Lao Zhu to skip over the princes and directly hit his head.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Seeing Guo Heng's faltering look, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "What? I couldn't figure out the count yesterday, and I couldn't figure out the countermeasure today, so what's the use of you as the servant of the household department?!"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's cold tone, Guo Heng quickly knelt down, "I know my mistake, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the dragon chair and roared, "I want you to find a way! I don't want you to admit your mistakes! With such a big loophole in finances, you slept soundly last night! Do you want me to send you two more concubines to help you?" You warm the bed?!"

Guo Heng's whole body went limp, and he cursed in his heart,

Does Gou Ri's Jin Yiwei have no private life, why are you staring at your father and me every day? !

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Come on, come up with a solution, otherwise, I will take off your clothes today!"

Guo Heng was breaking out in cold sweat, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably, he hesitated for a long time before he said: "I... I thought that it would be better to cancel all the expenses of the emperor's grandson princess and increase the salary of princes and princes..."

The second child, Zhu Xi, snorted unhappily when he heard the words.

Guo Heng shrank his neck immediately, and the five princes stood in front. Zhu Yuanzhang also asked all the officials to study how to reduce the princes' salaries. Isn't it clear that we should be bad guys!

Black!

Old Zhu, your heart is really dark!

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said with a smile, "It's interesting, let's continue."

Guo Heng could only bite the bullet and continue, "Yesterday, Liu Xiu was right. The number of imperial grandson princesses is expanding very fast, so even if their salaries are reduced, it will not be able to withstand their large numbers. So I thought it would be better to just pay a penny." If you don’t even send it out, then you can replenish the money lost here to the princes, so that the situation can be broken.”

Hearing the words, the prince Zhu Biao took a deep look at Guo Heng. As a prince, he naturally knew a lot.

According to Jinyi Guardian, Guo Heng is a big corrupt official, but he didn't expect this big corrupt official to have some ideas.

According to him, it is indeed possible to solve the problem of the royal family dragging down their finances.

Disappointment flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. How could he not have thought of such a way, but...

The second child, Zhu Xi, couldn't hold back at all, and directly interjected, "Nonsense! It's just nonsense!"

In order to get more salary from the imperial court, the second child has given birth to several cubs in recent years. If Guo Heng's method is followed and no more money is given to the emperor's grandson princess, wouldn't the children of the second child fall into his hands?

The cash cow has turned into a gold swallowing beast!

Who can stand this?

The second child was the first to disagree!

Guo Heng quickly lowered his head, not daring to talk back to the King of Qin. Anyway, he had expressed his thoughts, and His Majesty had to make a decision in the end.

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped thinking, and looked at the second child calmly, "Do you have an opinion? Tell me what you think."

The second child, Zhu Yu, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with an aggrieved face: "Father! All the vassal states have to hand over most of the tax revenue to the imperial court every year, and there is not much money left in the country, but the local government has to raise soldiers and officials. It’s a place where money is used. Even if we give us more money, how much can we make up?”

"Besides, these grandchildren of yours don't need money for classes, meals, carriages and horses? No matter how much you save, you can't save much! You have the heart, these grandchildren of yours eat chaff and swallow vegetables?! If their If the salary is taken, these children will have to drink the northwest wind!"

After the second child finished speaking, the hall was silent, and the bodies of several princes leaned towards the second child, obviously they also meant the same.

And the officials didn't dare to stand in the limelight any more.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyelids twitched wildly, and his heart seemed to be tightly clenched by a big hand. Although the second child's words were exaggerated, there was nothing wrong with his feelings and reason.

The vassal state itself also has officials and armies, which are all things that burn money, but the taxes of the vassal states have to be transferred to the central government for unified allocation, so the life of these vassal kings is also very tight.

If you rely on mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, you can still earn some extra money.

But like the fiefdoms of the second child and the fourth child, where is the whole fucking plain, where can I make money?

In general, the brothers are all poor.

In addition, what touched Zhu Yuanzhang the most was the following words. The emperor’s grandchildren have to spend money for food, clothing, housing and transportation. As a grandfather, you can’t give them a cent. If these children grow up like ordinary people’s children, then let’s take down this country. What's the point?

It is true that ordinary people live well, our children should also eat delicious and spicy food!

The difficulty of this matter lies in this point. Lao Zhu loves his family and wants to give them more favors, but he is not only a grandfather, but also the emperor. If he wants to reward his family, he has to spend the country's money.

The more rewards, the less state money,

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want the children in his family to live a hard life, but he couldn't just watch the royal family drag down the country built by one hand,

Dilemma!

Contradictory!

Dead end!

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his temples and said in a muffled voice, "Second brother is right."

The second child, Zhu Xi, nodded quickly.

Prince Zhu Biao frowned slightly, but said nothing.

The prince Zhu Biao has a different idea from the brothers. The brothers are princes, and they don’t care about anything if they can get the money.

But Zhu Biao is the crown prince, the heir apparent, and the future emperor. The brothers don't care, so he has to worry about it.

To put it bluntly, if one day Lao Zhu walks away, he will take over the treasury riddled with holes, and in the end he will still be responsible for it.

So Zhu Biao wanted to completely solve this hidden danger.

Zhu Biao sighed secretly, isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?

Chapter 37 Daming Has No Money

Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in their eyes.

Lao Zhu is the current emperor, and Xiao Zhu is the next emperor. They are the only ones who can understand how bitter the yellow lotus fed by Liu Xiu is.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Li Shanchang, Liu Sanwu, Fang Xiaoru and others, who were one of the few civil servants in the Hongwu Year. Seeing that the three did not respond, Old Zhu was secretly angry.

Is it possible to rely on that kid in the end?

In Nuo Da's court, except for that kid, no one else can break the game? !

absurd!nonsense!fart!

Zhu Yuanzhang spewed a burst of hot air from his nose, and tapped the armrest of the dragon chair restlessly with his fingers,

money!money!money!After all, it's all about money!

No Money!

This Yuan dog made the Central Plains area look bad, then patted its buttocks and ran to the north, leaving a lot of mess, but now it is a little bit stronger. In the years when the Ming Dynasty was just founded, the people could eat a meal a day. Not bad for a meal.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, his mind was full of images of the hungry and refugees, how to choose between family and country, Zhu Yuanzhang had the answer.

"The vassal's salary can only be more or less."

An abrupt voice resounded in the court hall, and everyone looked over one after another. It was not any prince who said this, but Xu Da, the Duke of Wei who stood in front of all the officials.

All the princes looked at Xu Da gratefully, while all the officials had strange expressions.
