Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 351
Zhu Yunying looked at the accounts and immediately felt dizzy, but he had to pay attention to some things carefully. This was his job, and it was something he had to do well.

Well, the emperor, it is natural to be busy with these things, and this is his job.

It is not an easy task to govern a world well, and many things need to be considered in all aspects.

It seems that we have to consider the matter of laziness, and perhaps we can also say that we need to institutionalize many things.

Zhu Yunying didn't really believe in such things as Wan Shi Zhi Ce.He only believes that specific times, specific circumstances, require specific policies.

Now he is indeed doing this, which is probably the reason why Zhu Yunying keeps urging Lao Zhu to give up the rules and regulations of his ancestors.

Who made Lao Zhu think too long-term, almost everything was considered, and
There are some restrictions.

It was okay when Lao Zhu was around, but once Lao Zhu was gone, it would be difficult to change some things.

Things like ancestral system are still very lethal in this day and age.Even the seemingly supreme emperor sometimes suffers from headaches.

After discussing political affairs with Ru Yu and other important officials, Zhu Yunying became a little more at ease.The beginning of the second year of Yingshi is not bad for the time being.

It's just a good start, that's not enough, what Zhu Yunying hopes is that the whole second year of Yingshi will be good, this is his expectation.

"Now that spring is coming, we must do a good job in spring plowing." Zhu Yunying said in a very serious manner, "Up to the court, down to the state capital, we must not slack off."

In fact, there is no need for Zhu Yunying to say anything more. The plan for a year lies in spring, and everyone understands this truth.

Looking at Yu Xin, Zhu Yunying ordered, "The Ministry of Household Affairs also needs to pay attention. The land in the south of the Yangtze River in Jinchun needs a variety of rice, and the large cotton households are not allowed to reduce taxes."

Yu Xin naturally took orders, but still said, "Your Majesty, the granary is full now, and cotton, cotton cloth and other things are also considered worry-free."

Zhu Yunying understood, and immediately said, "Leave enough spare grain, and the old grain can be released. Cotton, cotton cloth and other things will be handed over to Yousi, and more cotton-padded clothes and quilts will be made."

Yu Xin immediately wanted a piece of the pie, and this was a good opportunity, "Your Majesty, why don't you transfer cotton and other items to the household department?"

It seems to be a logical thing to hand it over to the Ministry of Households, and it can also increase some income for the court.

What's more, as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, what I like most is that there is money and food in the treasury, and naturally the more the better.

Otherwise, various departments are always pestering him, which is also a headache.

Zhu Yunying was not so generous, he just said, "Of course the Ministry of Household Affairs wants to take some away, but the Dudu Mansion should also take away some of the internal funds."

Yu Xin's complexion changed, and he carefully reminded, "Your Majesty, since it has been brought back to the imperial court, it may be inappropriate to transfer internal funds!"

The reason for saying this is mainly public and private.

In the granary, it belongs to the national treasury and belongs to the imperial court.As for the internal money, it is more or less a royal private treasury.

People like Yu Xin naturally like the royal family to use internal funds to subsidize the imperial court, and they also hope to limit the development of internal funds, and hope that everything will be based on the Ministry of Households.

Furthermore, it is natural to worry about making a bad start.

For example, in the future, the emperor would habitually take the things of the imperial court directly back to the internal funds, which would embarrass the household department and make many things go wrong.

Zhu Yunying was not polite either, looking at Yu Xin and asked, "Oh? Aiqing's words are also reasonable. It's really not good to move some money in the treasury here. But now it seems that we still think more It’s better to have a bigger distinction between internal money and the national treasury.”

Yu Xin had a happy expression on his face. It seemed that he, Minister of the Household Department, had played a big role, and he stuck to his duty as Minister of the Household Department.

It's just that Ru Yu's expression is not very good. As Zhu Yunying's former companion, he probably knows Zhu Yunying's character better.

It should be said that when today's son was very happy, he was a very manly person since he was young.Usually, it seems that this person is indeed so kind and not very dignified.

But if this person wants to express some dissatisfaction and attitude, there are naturally some things that should not be underestimated.

While Ru Yu was still frowning, Zhu Yunying continued to speak, "I think it's good. In the future, the internal funds and the national treasury will have to be separated. As usual, the internal funds should take some money from the national treasury every year and only be used by the royal family. Consecration also needs to be borne by the treasury."

Yu Xin's expression was stagnant, and Hubu Shangshu's expression was bitter, and he cried poorly, "Your Majesty, the court was not like this before."

What is internal money, this refers to the private property and private property of the emperor and the royal family.These silver coins are said to have nothing to do with the treasury, which is quite different, so naturally they cannot be the court ministers' concern.

If the imperial court is short of money, and the emperor is willing to subsidize it with money from the domestic funds, then it is necessary to shout out the emperor's sageness.If the emperor is unwilling to take out the money, there is nothing wrong with it, after all, it is the emperor's "private money".

Zhu Yunying continued, "What Aiqing said is also reasonable. Before that, our court had no regulations on this matter. The Supreme Emperor loves his people, and the country's early establishment is also withered. Now it is time to establish rules for all things."

Ru Yu stood up at this time, and the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Officials said, "Your Majesty is wise, His Royal Highness the Supreme Emperor is wise, and most of them are sympathetic to courtiers and common people. The royal family has not built a palace for many years, and His Majesty has not yet moved into the new palace."

At this moment, many people heard a different meaning. If you want to say that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty really terminated the contract.

In history, Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty practiced frugality and simplicity, and once stopped building terraces because he cherished the wealth of ten families.The emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not give up much.

According to the rules, when the Supreme Emperor abdicated, it was natural to rebuild the palace for him.However, the Supreme Emperor of the Ming Dynasty still lived in the original palace, and today he has been living in the 'East Palace'.

I don't care about the so-called etiquette system, and I don't care about the fact that the imperial city of Yingtianfu is a bit low-lying and humid.I just feel that there is no need for large-scale construction, and I just feel that rebuilding the palace is a bit wasteful.

Zhu Yunying continued, "Over the years, most of the resources from the Shibo Department have been dispatched by the household department. Although there are clans and noble families, they are one of the sources of wealth for the imperial court. Let's see it this way, the internal money industry, the imperial court will not want it in the future. meddling."

Yu Xin knelt down immediately, and said with pity, "I will die!"

The condescending Zhu Yunying looked at Yu Xin with a look of incomprehension, "Oh? Why did Aiqing say that, but I treated Aiqing harshly?"

What does it mean to be a master of pretending to be confused, Zhu Yunying's doing so naturally counts as it.This is a master who pretends to be confused, and it is obvious that he is trying to manipulate Yu Xin.

And Zhu Yunying looked at Yu Xin who was lying on the ground, and just said, "Aiqing is only loyal to the king's affairs, what is the crime? Don't mention the words of ten thousand deaths in the future. I am not a strict king. Da Ming is not a barbarian." You don’t need to worry about your loved ones. I also know that there are indeed some discussions among scholars in the world, saying that the Supreme Emperor and I treat scholars harshly.”

This time, people like Ru Xun became restless, because they were really worried that His Majesty would start to make a fuss about these things again.

Such worries are not unreasonable, because the Ming Dynasty actually did not allow literati to discuss government affairs indiscriminately.In other words, some scholars want to point out the country when they gather, but it is really illegal to say that it is something that is not allowed by the court.

What's more, no matter whether it is the Supreme Emperor or what the world looks like today, many people know it well.

Zhu Yunying opened his mouth slowly, and said, "Those who say such rebellious words, I think they have no conscience. The Supreme Emperor treats scholars preferentially, which is rare in all dynasties. Those people keep saying that the Song Dynasty is good, so let's make more concessions in the Ming Dynasty." ! The Supreme Emperor pardoned the corvee and taxation of scholars, and gave scholars a lot of power, are you still dissatisfied?"

To be honest, Lao Zhu was indeed very kind to scholars, and the privileges enjoyed by scholars in the Ming Dynasty were not rare.

It's just that there are some things, just like this, they just take their own good for granted.Then, naturally, they are looking forward to more privileges and more benefits.

What Zhu Yunying said is also reasonable, after all, the Ming Dynasty did give scholars a lot of privileges.The so-called Song Dynasty, which is like a paradise for scholars, may not be able to give so many privileges to scholars.

But people like Ru Xun also felt that what the emperor said was somewhat biased.

The Ming Dynasty seemed to have a lot of scholars, but it was just some things that scholars cared about, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty didn't seem to care much.Some things that scholars really care about were also scoffed at by the emperors of the two dynasties of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunying continued, "I don't say anything about scholars. It's just that you love ministers are also important ministers of the court, and you should understand that there are many scholars in the world who talk about wars on paper and boast about them. You should also know that empty talk is harmful to the country. The Wei and Jin Dynasties , romantic and famous people regard casual talk as romantic, empty talk is useless, superfluous words interfere with the main point, I am afraid it is not the appropriate truth today, you should also know."

"It's not appropriate to talk about waste of work, but superficial words interfere with important things." These are the words of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi.But "talking about harming the country" can be regarded as Zhu Yunying's "summary".

Although there are some people who want to refute, but just think about the power of the Supreme Emperor and the city of today, it is better to shut up obediently at this time, and it is more appropriate to bow your head and listen respectfully to the oracle.

Zhu Yunying continued, "It's not a good thing to satirize the government and comment on officials. There is no shortage of smart people, madmen, and ordinary people who don't know the truth. Those who sell their names and sell their integrity should be strictly guarded against."

'Put fame and sell straight', this word made Ru Yu and others stunned for a moment, but fortunately, they could understand it immediately.

Zhu Yunying didn't know that he created another idiom. There are many idioms and allusions he created, so there is nothing to care about.

For Emperor Zhu, it is better to continue to make use of the topic at this time.This can also be regarded as one of the emperor's "basic skills".

This is not just for imperial power and majesty, it is also for fighting against the courtiers, lest those people have some bad thoughts.

"It's not just the scholastics, but the officials also need to be more careful." Zhu Yunying said, "I also know that some officials have heard rumors about things. Look, this is a good thing that Emperor Renzong did." !"

It literally means that the admonisher can participate in the minister's performance based on hearsay, without having to produce real evidence or sign it.

This is the system invented by Song Renzong. It seems that the officials and the ministers in power are in conflict, while the emperor is secretly laughing.

But in fact, such a system has also led to intensified party disputes, which will turn many things into wars of words.Even if some things can benefit the court, the administration of officials can be slightly improved.But in fact, more people know that the accuracy of such hearsay news is mediocre, and it wastes the court's efforts in vain.

The role of the officials is sometimes to spray people around.But there should be something to say, you can't slander people for the sake of slandering people, let alone have such messy little thoughts.

For example, being proud of obtaining the royal staff seems to be the capital of their fame in Shilin, and it even becomes a symbol of honest ministers. This is simply a sarcasm.

Ru Yu had no choice but to stand up and said hastily, "Your Majesty, the court has been strictly guarding against such things, and the court is full of people who are dedicated to their duties."

As a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, it is quite normal to have some exaggerated things at this time.It's just that everyone has a tacit understanding and doesn't say much. They think that it's good for each other to understand such things, and it's unnecessary to speak out.

In fact, Zhu Yunying didn't care about those things, she just smiled and said, "Yu Qing, let's be flat."

The trembling Yu Xin got up, he knew that he just said something wrong.But he doesn't need to worry about losing his official position and life, not to mention today's day.Even the Supreme Emperor would not lose his life because of such a thing.

At most, it will be kept in the emperor's heart, maybe at some point he will make use of it, and then it will be an out-and-out troublesome matter.

Zhu Yunying opened his mouth and said with a smile, "For the internal money and the treasury, the divisions have drawn up a plan."

Ignoring Yu Xin's expression of eating shit, Zhu Yunying smiled and waved his hand.And even if Ru Yu and the others were unwilling, they could only obediently say hello and leave at this time.

Yu Xin felt that the emperor would not want his life, but it is very likely that after today, many colleagues will be at odds with him.Maybe in two days' morning, there will be more criticisms against him.

After all, he seems to have offended the emperor. The most important thing is that he really offended a lot of people by doing so, and it affected the interests of many people.In doing so, it really gave a lot of people room to play.

Zhu Yunying glanced at Wang Cheng'en and said, "Go to Wu Wang's mansion and call Wu Wang into the palace."

Wang Chengen showed caution, and said, "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor and His Royal Highness are leaving the palace, and King Wu will accompany them."

Forget it, let's talk later.
