Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 342 Set the rules
Old Zhu was in a good mood, looking at his children and grandchildren, he said slowly, "Those who are a little older, they all know that our emperor built a lot of ships in the Longjiang shipyard when he was young. Our Daming Sea Ban is also made by our emperor. of."

These can still be regarded as the truth, but this is Lao Zhu's little compliment to Xiao Zhu.Daming's sea ban was originally relatively strict, and it would not be a complete ban.That is, Zhu Yunying's suggestion is that Daming is indeed a little more open now, and now the government is starting to do sea trade.

"Shibosi, that's a money business." Old Zhu said, and said to the clan, "Spices and jewelry from Nanyang, ginseng from Korea, and silver from Japan are all a lot. You guys These individuals also need to know the good and the bad."

It is true that a lot of good things have come to Shibosi. While enriching the supplies, it has also brought many benefits to many people.

At this time, Lao Zhu said slowly, "You all know how many boats and livelihoods each family has in the Shipbuilding Department. We don't stop you. If you have the ability to get some gold, silver and jewelry, we are also happy. As long as You follow the rules, don't get in the way of the court's affairs, and you're done."

At this time, the clansmen spoke one after another, "The ministers (Sun Chen) respectfully listen to the oracle."

Lao Zhu nodded in satisfaction, but he still reminded, "The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. In the future, you will make a living in the Shibo Department. Our imperial court should also take care of it. There are many people in the clan who do not behave according to the rules. I know, but we are too lazy to pay attention to it. The emperor sees that you are either elders or brothers, so he will spare you, don't be ignorant."

This time, there are some clans who feel a little bit nervous, and they are somewhat nervous.

How many people on the clan's side acted against the law, and only they themselves know.In order to make huge profits, some clans don't care about the court's laws. These people rely on that they are clans, have enough privileges, and that others dare not provoke them.

Smuggling prohibited items such as salt, iron and tea is a 'common thing' for many clans.They don't care that these things go abroad, they even know that these things are expensive when they go abroad, so they must be happy to see these things.

The local officials didn't dare to control them. All the relatives of the emperor, the local officials, and even the court's laws couldn't control them.Calling Si Kemin's car, humiliating the patrol tax collectors, etc., these things are also a matter of course for them.

Zhu Yunying also stood up at this time, and said slowly, "Sibosi is a big matter, and I hope that the clans will restrain the servants in charge of the mansion. The imperial court has its own laws, and the emperor's grandfather also has laws. If there are minor or major mistakes, I don’t send people to send decrees to inquire about crimes, but to call back to listen to the emperor’s edict. The emperor’s grandfather is kind, and all the clans should also be considerate of the emperor’s grandfather.”

Needless to say, all the disciples of the clan also knelt down, "I will listen to the imperial edict respectfully."

This is a fact, the clan is so arrogant, it is because they do have arrogant capital.

Lao Zhu is a protector of his descendants, even if it is a crime committed by the clan, even if the crime is serious, he will not be punished;Local officials have no right to dispose of the clan. This is the real gold medal for avoiding death!
Furthermore, Lao Zhu couldn't care less about the protection of the clan.For example, if someone falsely accuses or separates the clan, that is a capital offense.If petty crimes dare to play, it is Wang Xiaoguo who heard that those who separate relatives will be executed.
Zhu Yunying looked at the clan and said, "The court's laws and regulations should be followed by the clan. The clan's mansion is not a decoration. If the clan's children make mistakes, they have their own rules and regulations to punish them. If the clan's children commit crimes, they will be punished for minor crimes and no additional punishment will be given. The government will review it."

What Zhu Yunying did was actually one of Lao Zhu's bottom lines.

In Lao Zhu's view, his descendants are naturally superior and cannot be allowed to be humiliated by officials.His children are naturally the nobles of the sky, how can ordinary officials have the qualifications to judge his children and grandchildren.

But now it's not normal, Zhu Yunying suddenly became strict.Although the clan is now going to court, it cannot be punished.After the local officials close the case, they also need to report it to the Clan Mansion, which will be interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Clan Mansion will send people to monitor and observe.

For ordinary people or civil and military officials, this is unimaginably tolerant, and this is a treatment they dare not imagine.

But for the clan, this is tantamount to a 'disaster'.In the past, they were basically no one to control them, and they could become the group with the lowest quality and the most evil deeds in Daming without any psychological pressure.

It's simply because they all know that the clan's treatment is too good, the clan's mansion can turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, and their father can lift the board high and gently lower it.

But it's different now. After the new emperor ascended the throne, not only did he not allow the prince to become a vassal, but he was also constantly reducing the privileges and status of the clan.Now the clan can actually be tried, which makes many people feel uncomfortable and want to protest.

Seeing that the children and grandchildren below were making trouble, Old Zhu snorted coldly, "You bastard! When we were young, corrupt officials expropriated and raised their flags to rebel. Now, what are our children and grandchildren like?!"

Well, Lao Zhu has spoken, no matter how many opinions the clan members have, they can only listen obediently at this time.

Because Lao Zhu's prestige is too strong, the clan's children basically dare not show their teeth to Lao Zhu.Furthermore, Lao Zhu is basically their father and grandfather, and everything they have is given by Lao Zhu.Now if Lao Zhu takes back some of it, although it is difficult for the clansmen to go from extravagance to frugality, they can only admit it by gritting their teeth.

It is okay to complain about the Supreme Emperor and the new emperor in private, but I dare not speak loudly, or I just slander in my heart.

Zhu Yunying did take back some of the clan's treatment. After all, if there are no restrictions on the clan, it will definitely cause some turmoil.If it was only at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only those children of Lao Zhu would be a little better.

Because at that time, it seemed that the overall amount of dross was small, and it would not cause too many things.In Lao Zhu's eyes, although he cared about his people, compared to his children, Lao Zhu definitely cared about his children.So some princes broke the law in the fiefdom, and Lao Zhu actually turned a blind eye to it.

However, the clan is now constantly expanding its scale, and it is not a good thing to continue to allow the clan to run amok like this.The chaos caused by that time may also become bigger and bigger.

To standardize, this also needs to be considered and standardized from all aspects.It is obvious that the court system needs to be constantly supplemented and improved, and it is also what Zhu Yunying feels that he must do as an emperor.

In fact, Lao Zhu was somewhat complaining in his heart, always feeling that his grandson was too cruel to his family.It's just these things, after talking about them for so many years, and because of some things that happened in these years, Lao Zhu actually realized that the original policy might not be comprehensive enough.

This is one reason why although Lao Zhu was complaining, he could only choose to agree.

Let his children and grandchildren live better, Lao Zhu naturally hopes to see this.It's just that Lao Zhu also understands that the country of the Ming Dynasty needs long-term stability, so when it's time to be ruthless, it needs to be ruthless.

What's more, Lao Zhu is not a person who doesn't know the sufferings of the world. Even if his descendants' treatment is reduced, they just look at the world, and they are still the first-class wealth in the world.These descendants of him are still the most honorable people in Ming Dynasty.

Now that Lao Zhu understands these principles, he can do some things with ease, without too much resistance.

What Zhu Yunying needs to do is to use the tiger's skin as a banner. With a big Buddha like Lao Zhu around, demons and monsters naturally dare not jump around.At this time, Zhu Yunying can pretend to be a tiger, and can implement many policies at this time.

Restructuring, which also needs to start from all aspects of the system.There are many things Zhu Yunying needs to do. He not only wants to restructure the clan, but also needs to bring many changes to the court and the world.

"At the Shibo Department, we will ask someone to explain to the clan." Zhu Yunying said slowly, "The clan's children also need to know that apart from the imperial court, only the clan and nobles can trade at sea."

Lao Zhu looked at his grandson with a smile, thinking that his grandson just had too many ideas.

Zhu Yunying continued, "The imperial court takes the lead, followed by the clan, and noble families can also get some benefits. Even if the local gentry and merchants share some benefits, it is something leaked from the big guys."

The clan naturally understands that in fact, the profits of sea trade are huge, and the big guys know it too.So nowadays there are also some coastal people who go to sea privately, mainly for profit.Especially those places in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian have a 'tradition' of going to sea.

"In the future, the imperial clan and nobles will have to customize the goods received and awarded by the imperial court." Zhu Yunying smiled and said to the imperial clan, "The Ming imperial court and imperial clan have set rules, and we will decide how much to sell and how much to sell for some good things. Remember. Don't fight among yourself, just take advantage of outsiders."

A monopoly business is a good business, and Zhu Yunying is blatantly making the rules.Such a monopoly business can indeed bring enough benefits to many people.Instead of thinking about price wars and the like, at least some products are not suitable for price wars.

Although the clan complained, but in the current situation, there was nothing they could do.That is to say, it looks noble, but it has no real power at all.

Don't say that the Taishanghuang is supporting now, even if the Taishanghuang is gone, the clan doesn't have any strength to struggle or resist in front of Jinshang. This is the most direct reality.

Zhu Yunying still needs to continue to do it, and the affairs of the Shibo Department need to be standardized.This huge trade market must be controlled by the court, and the court must set rules and distribute profits.

Of course, the greatest benefits must also be brought back to the imperial court, so that the country can be rich and the people strong!
