Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 557 The Emperor's Work

Zhu Yunying is in a good mood, mainly because there is quite a lot of good news and things are going well, which is a very important thing.

And outside Yingtian Mansion, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty left the palace again.Seeing the guard of honor of the crown prince, many people were not surprised.There is no need to feel fresh one by one, this can be regarded as a tradition of Lao Zhu's family.

According to some old people, Emperor Xiaokang often went out of the palace in his early years.It is said that when the current Emperor Yingshi was young, he often appeared in the streets and alleys of Yingtianfu, or in the streets and alleys, and everyone has long been used to it.

What's more, the current crown prince is actually the same.Even if many people don't know it, there are still many people who know it.

The Supreme Emperor often took the Crown Prince to visit Yingtian Mansion, and this matter of private visits in micro-services has long been played by Da Tianzi.

On the way to Zijin Mountain, a young man in fresh clothes was riding a tall horse, "Second uncle, we are wearing dragon robes now. Our great-grandmother would be happy if she saw it. Great-grandmother said in the early years that great-grandmother liked to give us Dad embroidered dragon robes."

Zhu Yunxi was not surprised, and replied with a smile, "The apron you wore when you were young was embroidered by your great-grandmother. We only heard about it, and now it has been passed down to you. You have been wearing it since you were a child, until you were three years old."

"Our father still has a lot of armor, gold armor and silver armor." Little Zhu said enviously, "Great-grandfather said, our body is not tall enough, when we grow up, those armors will be Ours."

It's not just the armor that belongs to him, but also all the country and land in the Ming Dynasty belong to Little Zhu.

When we arrived at Xiaoling Mausoleum, it was naturally Xiao Xiaozhu who took the lead in worshiping.It can't just be said that Zhu Yunxi's two side concubines had children, but also the need to report that Lao Zhu's two sons are about to hold a coronation ceremony.

In fact, what is to be avoided this time is that the 13-year-old Zhu No. 20 fourth son Zhu Dong and the 25th son Zhu also need to be canonized as kings.Now, among Lao Zhu's surviving heirs, all of them can be canonized as kings.

It can be said that Lao Zhu completed his "task" at once, and this matter naturally required Xiao Zhu to come forward.

"Great-grandmother, our father is going to finish the fight outside." Kneeling in front of the stele, little Zhu seemed a little depressed, "This time, the Seventh and Twelfth Uncles all want to go to Korea to found a country. What should we do? We are still thinking about leaving some good land for our uncle and brother, and our father will be sealed off."

The sad little Zhu sat down immediately, and said bitterly, "Great-grandmother, there is not much land on the Annan side, and my father means that there are quite a few places on the Nanyang side, even if they are taken down, we can't give them all." Seal it out."

Zhu Yunxi knelt beside him, it seemed that he could only shut up at this time, it was not his turn to talk about these things.Of course, for Zhu Yunxi, many things are not clear.

If you want to talk about Yingtianfu's brothel and painting boats, Zhu Yunxi can easily do it like a treasure.But when it comes to military and state affairs, Zhu Yunxi is naturally not very clear, and his listening is naturally rather confused, and he really doesn't understand these things.

Little Zhu, the crown prince, is quite sensible now, and he naturally understands many truths.

In the end, it was the successors who were trained together by Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yingshi, and they were always trained according to the emperor's model.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Xiao Zhu's knowledge far exceeds that of most people in this era.Even Zhu Yunying is very clear, he knows that Xiao Zhu's qualifications are relatively ordinary, but with countless resources piled up, he can naturally make great progress.

This is actually the same as in the future, and it doesn't mean that those people with good family backgrounds are all extremely intelligent.Many times, it is also necessary to consider resources. Countless resources are piled up, and of course they are 'elites'.

Zhu Wengeng walked up to little Zhu and said, "Brother Huang, if we want to be a king in the future, we want Goryeo, and we want Silla maidservants."

Sure enough, it is in the same line. The son Zhu Yunxi taught is also a master of playboys.At this young age, he doesn't know how to read and write, but he understands some things better than the "promising" little Zhu.

Little Zhu also had a headache, and said, "Great-grandmother is probably happy to hear this, but she can't tell her in front of the emperor's grandfather and emperor's grandmother. I won't tell you anymore, we still have to go to Dongling."

Little Zhu is indeed very busy. This time, she is not only going to defeat the Ma family in Xiaoling, but also needs to go to Dongling to pay homage to Da Zhu and Chang's. Naturally, she needs to be in a hurry.

It's also relatively busy on Zijin Mountain, but it obviously doesn't make Zhu Yunying too worried.In addition to Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunying's third uncle, Xiaoxiaozhu's third uncle, and Xiaoxiaozhu's brother-in-law all followed. Of course, apart from the prince's three guards, there were also elites from the three major battalions.

Even if not all the staff were mobilized, many elites were actually mobilized, not to mention that Zijin Mountain was right under Ying Tianfu's nose, so of course there was no need to worry about too many things.

"Wang Daban, you have to tell us today, how is your majesty feeling?" As an old man from Taisun's mansion, Yan Zhenzhi and Wang Chengen have a pretty good relationship, "If your majesty is in a good mood, go and report to him. "

Wang Chengen skillfully and covertly took the bank note from Wang Chengen, and complained, "Master Shangshu, this is a stranger! We are old acquaintances, it's not good!"

If it’s not good, then don’t accept it.After accepting it, he pretended to be polite, who would believe it!
"Master Shangshu, it's time to catch up with the past." Wang Chengen showed a flattering smile, and then said with a smile, "It's just that Shangshu also knows that His Majesty can listen to bad words. Even if this is a bad thing, His Majesty will not angry."

Yan Zhen was immediately happy. The reason why he inquired about the news in advance was naturally because he did not bring any good news.Even if he was born in Taisun's Mansion, even if he was an old man of Emperor Yingshi, but these years, he was just an emperor who was afraid of the growing power of the emperor.

Seeing Yan Zhen coming straight over, Zhu Yunying joked with a smile, "Our Minister of the Ministry of Industry, that is, we can see it in the early court. I am asking to see you in private, and I am afraid that our Institute of the Ministry of Industry is short of money again."

"Your Majesty is holy!" Yan Zhenzhi knelt down directly, and began to pour out bitter water, "Your Majesty also knows that the college supervised the construction of sea-going ships and improved a lot of lucky boats, but it is a pity that two of the lucky boats that were rebuilt before capsized."

Zhu Yunying is really in a bad mood. The Fuchuan is not an ordinary ship. The cost itself is expensive, and it is also very important to the navy of the Ming Dynasty.Unfortunately, this is some of the price that technological progress needs to pay.

Yan Zhenzhi ignored Zhu Yunying's displeasure, and continued, "Your Majesty, the Academy of Engineering sent many students and craftsmen to guards in various places to assist in the casting of cannons. The important towns in the north and the borders in the southwest, don't say that the big cities and passes have copper. Pao, in the past two or three years, the county can also be full of iron cannons."

This is not Zhu Yunying's first creation. In fact, during the Hongwu Dynasty, the guards in various places actually cast some iron cannons.

It's just that the iron cannons in the past were easy to explode, and many iron cannons were not well maintained.

Since Zhu Yunying asked the Ministry of Industry to improve firearms in the early years, the artillery at the beginning was basically sent to the frontier army, and it was true that a lot of reserves were needed for some big battles.But now the imperial court has a little spare power, including proficiency in the manufacture of bronze cannons and gunpowder, so it is natural to deploy defenses on some guards and cities.

Zhu Yunying has never been sloppy with these safety-related matters, and he really cares about Daming's overall armament.

It's just that these things have never been a worry-free thing, and they are also a big consumption of various materials, food and salaries of the Ming Dynasty.

Yan Zhen glanced at Zhu Yunying's face, and continued, "Your Majesty Qizuo, although the teachers and professors in the Ministry of Industry are of high grade, it's just that there are many gaps in the previous evaluation by the Ministry of Officials. There are also officials in the Ministry of Officials. The academy is not skilled."

Hearing what Yan Zhenzhi said, Zhu Yunying was a little unhappy, "It seems that Ruzhen is also confused, and we should rectify the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials. How can the craftsmanship of the Ministry of Industry be compared with ordinary articles."

That's what Yan Zhenzhi meant. He, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has been in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, and he is also very clear about many skills.Some things, some things, I really can't expect to succeed overnight.

Zhu Yunying looked at Yan Zhenzhi and said, "We didn't think carefully about these things before. Many things in the Ministry of Industry and the evaluation of the Ministry of Industry are indeed not different from ordinary officials. The political achievements and the like are not easy to see. "

Doing scientific research or something, normally speaking, does have the meaning of being a bit of a cold shoulder, and it is really unrealistic to expect things like immediate results.So when evaluating, you have to think carefully.

"You should draw up a note later. Some evaluations by the Ministry of Industry shouldn't be like this, especially at the college." Zhu Yunying said, but still wanted to emphasize, "It's just that you should also understand that there is still a difference between this skill and engineering. Treat craftsmen It’s very good, and it should be measured.”

Yan Zhenzhi was even less opinionated. He was more aware of what the emperor was thinking, and this was also the characteristic of the emperor Yingshi.

In the final analysis, although this one treats many craftsmen leniently, it does not mean that Emperor Yingshi just favors craftsmen.

Zhu Yunying is indeed not blindly harsh towards some craftsmen.Even if I put forward some so-called scientific research ideas, etc., it does not mean that there will be some breakthroughs immediately.

It's just that the pressure should be given, and Zhu Yunying is also very clear that there are not too few things that he needs to do.

Give some craftsmen official positions and social status. It can be said that Zhu Yunying is much better than the emperors of all dynasties.It's just that sometimes, if the favor is too much, it may not be a good thing, and what should be spurred must be spurred.

Yan Zhenzhi immediately understood that he obviously knew what he meant and what he should do.

According to some traditional rules, there are naturally some rules for the evaluation of the Ministry of Industry.It's just that some of the current rules and some of the evaluations of the Ministry of Engineering College need to be re-formulated.

What should be said and what should be done, Zhu Yunying has made his own decision, and the people below will naturally know what to do.

It seems that a lawsuit is needed, and the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry estimate that they will also need to fight in the next period of time.

Zhu Yunying would not be surprised by this at all, even if the source of this incident is very likely to be caused by him.But it doesn't matter at all. In the final analysis, the emperor must do his duty as an emperor, and the courtiers also need to do the courtiers' affairs well.

After Yan Zhenzhi was sent away, Zhu Yunying felt more at ease.Speaking of it, Zhu Yunying also thinks that his court actually has a lot of practical things.

Zhu Yunying also understood that not all his court was full of competent officials, but also some mediocre, corrupt officials, and even some so-called treacherous officials.

But no matter what, Zhu Yunying is also very clear that overall, the Yingshi dynasty is still a clear and bright bureaucracy, especially just before the rectification of the bureaucracy, and the corruption that had risen a little before has been suppressed a lot.

Zhu Yunying, who was in a good mood, flipped through the memorial and knew what he needed to do next. Obviously, he was not only preparing to deal with the lawsuits from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials, he also had other things to prepare for.

In particular, the next thing to prepare is the autumn harvest, or the tax collection after the autumn harvest, especially now that it is a critical period for the distribution of the land into the mu, and many people are actually staring at this matter.

Especially now that it is being implemented in several important places, many people actually have some careful thoughts.

It is not friendly to many people, especially some aristocratic families, it will greatly touch the interests of these people.If the immediate autumn tax does not come up, or if no obvious benefits are seen, it is estimated that many people will start talking about it by then.

Even the emperor who holds great power can't be domineering in everything, and can't completely ignore the opinions of civil and military officials.

Wang Cheng'en came up to Zhu Yunying's side and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Shangshu handed over 20 taels of silver bills to the maid."

"Just keep it." Zhu Yunying laughed and said, "Our Minister of the Ministry of Industry is originally a wealthy family, and this is nothing."

Wang Chengen grinned, he occasionally collected money in private, and the emperor knew about it.Of course, Wang Chengen was also 'honest', and would report to the emperor every time he received money, so naturally there was no problem.

There is a reason why Wang Chengen can always be by Zhu Yunying's side, and has always been very popular.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor has a decree to let His Majesty go to clean the palace while he is resting." Shuangquan came, knelt down immediately and said, "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor summoned His Royal Highness King Zhou and lost his temper."

Zhu Yunying was puzzled, and asked curiously, "What the hell is going on with our fifth uncle, to make Grandpa Huang angry?"

Shuangquan said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Zhou seems to have completed half of his studies. He had a banquet at the mansion the day before yesterday, and most of the clan has gone."

Zhu Yunying was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile, "Grandpa Huang is being harsh, it's okay for Fifth Uncle to have a banquet. Let's go there later, if Fifth Uncle doesn't leave the palace, let Fifth Uncle stay too."
