Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 355 Lizi, face

The anger of Emperor Hongwu is beyond the reach of ordinary people, especially this time Emperor Hongwu specially summoned all civil and military officials to start the dynasty, which shows that it was Emperor Hongwu's anger to leave.Looking at the punishment of the emperor and empress, this also shows that some things seem to have touched the bottom line of Emperor Hongwu.

Zhu Yunying, who was punished, didn't seem to be angry from embarrassment. He just got up after Lao Zhu left, and then walked slowly towards the imperial steps.Since the Supreme Emperor no longer sits on the dragon chair, it means that the emperor Yingshi will sit on the dragon chair.

Zhu Yunying, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked down at the clan, civil and military officials kneeling under the imperial steps, with a very calm expression.

"Queen, let's go back. The women in the palace are all in the Fengxian Hall, so you go and resettle them." Zhu Yunying spoke slowly and said to Xu Miaoqing.

Naturally, Xu Miaoqing took the order to leave immediately. If it wasn't for the emperor's intention this time, she would not be qualified to come to Fengtian Hall at all.And now it can be regarded as retired, and the play that she was supposed to perform well was basically done.

But we can't be complacent, most of the plays have been performed well, but the last part is still missing.You can't lose the chain at this time. You have to start well and end well, so that you can cooperate with the emperor to perform this drama thoroughly.

The civil and military officials are somewhat trembling at this time. Naturally, they are afraid when the Supreme Emperor shows his power.But don't think that Emperor Yingshi is a soft persimmon. This young emperor has never lacked skills, and this young emperor has rich experience in governing the court.

Even though it seems that Yingshi is only two years old now, a few years ago, this person has dealt with some important affairs in the court.

Emperor Yingshi was punished by the Supreme Emperor, which naturally meant that the courtiers under him would be punished accordingly.

Zhu Yunying looked at Yu Xin, and asked slowly, "Do you know the meaning of the Red Warehouse, Minister of the Household Department?"

Yu Xin left the shift immediately, knelt down without saying anything, "I accept the crime!"

Zhu Yunying took out the memorial and said, "The queen asked people to allocate supplies, but the Ministry of Household Affairs could not allocate them in time. The Ming Dynasty has only been founded for more than [-] years, so it is so procrastinated? Before that, I wanted to get rid of redundant officials, because I felt that there were people in the court who were superfluous. Now it seems that I have not wronged you, even dare to slack off the queen's edict, and even dare to procrastinate on the matter of the red warehouse?!"

This time, it wasn't just Yu Xin, and it wasn't just the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Chao Zhongwen and Wu all knelt down and pleaded guilty.

In fact, Yu Xin also felt wronged, and he naturally knew what the red warehouse represented.In fact, many people also know that Hongcang has indeed helped many scholars of the Imperial College.Just to be honest, some people also think that after all these years, Hongcang has actually become an example of the royal benefactor.

In the past, Empress Ma loved the people like a son, but now the royal family may only be for Empress Ma's legacy, or just to show favor.

It is definitely not enough to be negligent, but sometimes the allocation may be a little late, a few days late, or need to send a few more reminders before it will be taken seriously and allocated quickly.

Even in the eyes of some officials of the household department, this should not be their business. Since it is a red warehouse, it is a royal business.Then it should be those materials that are taken out of the internal funds, not the things of the imperial court to show favor.

Is there any king in the world, this sentence makes sense.This world is also the Zhu family's country, and there is some reason for this.

But in the eyes of some people, this world is also the world of the world.It is true that the emperor is the father of the emperor, but this does not mean that the emperor can do whatever he wants, and it does not mean that some things need to be completely obeyed by the emperor's will.

For example, this time, many courtiers knew that the emperor's internal funds were actually rich, quite rich.

After all, at the beginning, the Shibo Department was under the control of the royal family, especially at the beginning, it seemed that the current emperor, who was only the grandson of the emperor at that time, was in charge.Then it was handed over to the 'Xiandi', and some of the things of the Shibo Division were brought into the Ministry of Households by the former Emperor.

Good things from Nanyang, or local products from Japan and Korea, naturally the imperial court has a lot of income.But many people also understand that a large part of it has flowed into internal funds, which is not a small number.

At that time, the Ministry of Household Affairs, or the Civil Service Group happily took over some of the internal money positions, and happily watched the court gain a new source of income.Naturally, they took it very seriously. If the royal family wanted to take it back, that would be unacceptable.The royal family is doing sea trade with Xungui, and many people are arguing that this is a competition for profit with the people.

Zhu Yunying naturally knew what some people were thinking, otherwise Yu Xin would not have divided the internal money and the national treasury so clearly before.It is not easy to take back the power released by the royal family. The imperial power is in the hands of the emperor, so naturally it will not be easily delegated.

Looking at Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunying said, "The red storehouse is the legacy of the Empress Dowager. It must not be sloppy, and it is also related to scholars. The court must not be sloppy in treating scholars preferentially. The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, and the Imperial Academy will send personnel to follow up. King Xu Zhu Yunwen, inspector of the Daizong Renfu."

Yu Xin's expression turned bitter, his household department was about to make a contribution.Now don't say that you have the slightest thought of making meritorious service. At this time, you just pray that nothing will go wrong again, or else it will really be a catastrophe.

What Yu Xin thinks has nothing to do with Zhu Yunying. Zhu Yunying has his own plan.

Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhu Yunying said again, "Someone has written a book before, saying that the internal funds are too rich and the clan is too expensive. It is said that the nobles and nobles have formed groups to deprive merchants of their interests. Our Ming Dynasty is all about merchants."

At this moment, many people are ready to move, and at this time, they also feel that this is an opportunity.

Many people actually know whether Shibo is making money or not.Now Quanzhou in Fujian, Songhu in South Zhili, and Tianjin in North Zhili, these three ports can even be said to be making money every day.Except for those business matters, the amount of silver shipped from Japan into the treasury every year is 200 million taels.

Although the income from domestic funds is not as good as that of the national treasury, it will not be lower than the figure of 50 taels of silver per year.

Zhu Yunying looked at some people with some sarcasm and said, "It is said that my business is against the teachings of the saints. I just want to say that there is no shortage of people in our court, and there is no shortage of some dignified people. Some people's families What is the situation, let’s not say that you all know it yourself. On the surface you are a noble official, but secretly your family members are running shops and earning money.”

Zhu Yunying ridiculed, he is not afraid of things, "If you want to say, you will lose face, this is really not a loss! The clan blocked your money, it is competing with the people. If you earn more, then It's us Ming Xungui who acted arrogantly. Don't forget, I have allowed you to make money, and we have not intervened in some business routes!"

Zhu Yunying's voice was serious, full of warning, "Remember it, don't be too greedy and take away all the benefits! This is Daming, there are not so many good things left to you!"

After saying this, Zhu Yunying also left in a huff.Seeing Zhu Yunying leaving in a rage, all civil and military officials naturally knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Some people are concerned, some people don't take it seriously, and of course some people are resentful, and naturally there are some people who feel excited. There are also all kinds of people in the court, because the emperor's attitude seems to be able to explain some things.

At least some obvious signals have been sent out, and it depends on what the people below will do next.

Some people think that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is very good. After all these years of hard work, the Ming Dynasty is getting richer and richer.The emperor of Ming Dynasty was indeed wise and powerful. He opened up overseas business routes to enrich the treasury, and he was willing to release enough benefits.

But the hearts of the people are not enough, and some people think that the emperor is too domineering, and the biggest benefit is taken by the emperor and the clan.You must know that in the past, these things were basically done by some big families or some business gangs.

Now, while the imperial court is severely cracking down on pirates, it is also severely punishing smugglers along the coast.

This makes many people distressed, if it is only the most severe sea ban, it will be fine.But why can't we noble scholars take advantage of so many benefits, or why the royal family is the lord of the country, and they still have to compete with the people for profit? !

What kind of bank does the emperor want to issue banknotes.The frustrating emperor controls the supply of goods, controls the price, and wants to hoard or dump a large amount. It is not easy to do these things now, at least it is getting more and more difficult.

This year, the opening of China and France was abolished again. Now the imperial court has a monopoly on salt and iron, which has caused many merchants to complain again.
These things that the emperor did, simply hurt those big businessmen.Even if there is no injury, it is enough to make these people uncomfortable, and the interests of these people have been greatly damaged.

If you want to object, the guards all over the Ming Dynasty are now training soldiers and sharpening their knives.If Wu is not good, he can only hope that some people in the court can speak out for them, but now it seems that the domineering emperor is not reasonable at all.

In addition to these spokesmen or benefit transmitters, some people are starting to worry.

In fact, the treasury and internal funds before the Ming Dynasty were not clear, mainly because the treasury was relatively poor.The Ming Dynasty had a lot of waste to do, and there were too many places to spend money, so it needed subsidies from time to time from internal funds.

But now that Ming is getting richer and richer, the state treasury can get subsidies from internal funds, but some people are not happy to want the state treasury to subsidize internal funds.

It seems that the emperor has moved some thoughts. The emperor's attack this time may be because some of Yu Xin's previous words offended the emperor. Now the emperor wants to teach everyone a lesson.

In the second year of Yingshi, everyone thought it was a peaceful start, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

Let's keep fighting, although we are afraid of the coercion of the emperor and the emperor, but sometimes we can't retreat easily, absolutely not!
