Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 631 Fame and Prestige
In terms of greed, Zhu Yunying really has a little bit of it, and he has never objected to it.This is one of Zhu Yunying's characteristics.Of course, Zhu Yunying is also very clear that there are indeed many people who think of him as a "smiling tiger".

Zhu Yunying didn't think there was anything wrong with such an evaluation, and such an evaluation did not affect Zhu Yunying's somewhat accomplished emperor.Whether it's a smiling tiger, a black belly, or some other evaluations, it doesn't really matter much.

This is Zhu Yunying's heartfelt words, as long as he can be a good emperor and manage the country well, those comments are harmless.

At this time, Zhu Wei had some thoughts of his own, "Your Majesty, I have heard about some things these days. There are rumors outside that Your Majesty intends to control the flood of the Yellow River. I hope that Your Majesty will make amends. I want to ask how much this rumor is. How fake is it?"

Zhu Yunying didn't hesitate too much, and said, "This matter is true. We intend to let Yan Zhenzhi preside over the management of the Yellow River flood. It's just that the matter is too big, so it hasn't been discussed in the court. Many things are already being prepared , but I hope that Uncle Wu will not spread the word, it will probably come to a conclusion after a while."

Zhu Huan immediately understood, and assured him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have a sense of propriety."

Since the emperor did not hide anything, Zhu Wei also said what was in his heart, "Your Majesty, if you want to come to the court to control the floods of the Yellow River, you will need a lot of money, food and troops. As the prince of the court, you have been supported by the court all these years. Many capable ministers No, I thought that if His Majesty governs the Yellow River, I would like to donate a year's salary to the Prince of Zhou's family."

Zhu Yunying was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, although it is true that a lot of money is needed to manage the Yellow River, it is just that the court is still relatively rich, and the money can be used. If it is money from Uncle Wu, it is not a big deal. something."

Zhu Huan was not happy anymore, and said emphatically, "Why is it not a matter? Your Majesty, this minister is the Prince of Ming Dynasty, the current Clan Renling of the Clan Mansion!"

Zhu Yunying also explained, "Uncle Wu also said that you are the patriarchal order. If the imperial court takes money from Uncle Wu, what should other clans think? Do you think they should follow Uncle Wu's example and donate some money? Or do you think this is our order?"

"Other people can think whatever they want, what do they do?" Zhu Huan took it out at this time and said, "Besides, even if we took out the offerings from the court, we didn't say to take them out." The output of Citian, without mentioning the output of the bank and Shibo, will not be interrupted!"

Before Zhu Yunying could open his mouth, Zhu Wei continued to speak first, "Furthermore, the clan has been supported by the imperial court for many years. They haven't done anything for many years, but there is no shortage of fine clothes, jade and food. Such a big matter as governing the Yellow River , we can't always think about eating, drinking and having fun, we are the clan of the Ming Dynasty after all, this is the Zhu family's country after all."

Seeing Zhu Huan's serious look, Zhu Yunying felt that Zhu Huan was not joking, "Uncle Wu, my nephew knows that Uncle Wu is a good man. It's just this matter. Although the more money and food, the better, but now we still don't need the clan to contribute money and effort. What do the nobles think about the money coming out from the clan? What do the gentry think?"

Zhu Yunying analyzed carefully and said, "If that time really comes, maybe the officials will go to the people to collect money and exploit the people."

Zhu Huan said as a matter of course, "Then only accept the money from our clan. If Wu Xun wants to, you can also accept it. We also know that the imperial court is reforming the tax system now, and let all the officials keep an eye on it. Anyone who dares to exploit the people will be severely punished." .Your Majesty, we were in Kaifeng before, and we know how the Yellow River is. We really want to contribute."

Staring into Zhu Yun's eyes, Zhu Yunying seemed to understand.His Fifth Uncle is really not just pretending to be polite.

The Yellow River has long been a river hanging above the ground, and Kaifeng is right next to the Yellow River. Looking at the Yellow River channel hanging above Kaifeng, it is not only Zhu Huan who is worried, but I believe many people near the Yellow River waters are also worried.

Zhu Yunying, who was a little stunned, laughed and said, "If it's true, then we don't care whether we accept money from other people, but we will definitely collect money from the fifth uncle's lineage! If we really start to manage the Yellow River, there will be If it is effective, we will definitely set up a monument and pass it on. At that time, we will set up a monument outside the Yellow River in Kaifeng!"

Looking at Zhu Yun, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "We also know that there are many gentry outside who are building bridges and paving roads, and this is how we should treat the Yellow River. At that time, we will also set up a monument of merit, from the same line of Uncle Wu Xianda, let the common people know!"

Zhu Wei was a little surprised, and seemed a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, we don't have that kind of thought, we didn't go for those things."

Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "We know this, we know that Uncle Wu is not trying to gain fame, but just wants to do some practical things. But Uncle Wu has done good deeds, why can't we let the world know the benevolence of the virtuous king of our Daming clan?" Germany?!"

It was such a happy decision. After ordinary gentry built bridges and paved roads, or donated sesame oil money in temples, they often left their names. It is good to have their own names on the merit tablet.

As for the management of the Yellow River, Zhu Yunying felt that there was nothing wrong with setting up a monument and leaving his name on the monument of merit. Zhu Yunying didn't think there was any problem.

In fact, in such an era, many people only want to have a good reputation. Even after decades or hundreds of years, many people still care about their own reputation.Even if sometimes, some people don't seem to be good people under universal values, but they may have their own thoughts, and they still have a good reputation at home.

Zhu Xi, it's hard to say whether he is a virtuous king or not.It must be an exaggeration to say that the virtuous king is a bit exaggerated.

But in the matter of governing the Yellow River, Zhu Xi really wanted to contribute.It is impossible for him to go to the Yellow River embankment, and he has no way to make suggestions, so let's simply donate some money, Zhu Wei feels that he can do these things.

Zhu Yunying actually understood that the Ming court was indeed not short of money, and for the time being, there was no need to collect some additional taxes and so on.But governing the Huanghuai River is not only a long-term project, it will indeed cost countless money and food.

It is certainly not possible to collect money from the people, and it is not possible to increase the burden on the people.It's just that if some clans and nobles donate money, Zhu Yunying will actually not refuse. The money is actually not too big a burden for the clans, nobles and others.

With some more money in hand, Zhu Yunying naturally has more confidence and confidence.For projects like Yellow River governance, the more resources there are, the more confidence there will be. This is obvious.

Since this is the case, Zhu Yunying will not pretend to be polite, he knows that such things are very normal in this age.

Zhu Huan seemed to be happier. He couldn't do big things, but he could do some things within his power.

If the Yellow River is governed, he will definitely not be able to control what others think.However, the lineage of King Zhou's Mansion should also contribute to these matters. Whoever made King Zhou's fief was once in Kaifeng.Others don't know the threat of the flood in the Yellow River, so Zhou Wang's lineage can't help but know!

Although Zhu Yunying also understands that the governance of the Yellow River must be controlled by the imperial court as the main force, which must be admitted.Counting on fundraising and so on, it's impossible to raise enough money and so on.What's more, these fundraising and so on also need to pay attention to it, and there must be no apportionment and so on.

Zhu Yunying has always been very clear that the management of the Yellow River may be a huge burden, and the merits of the trouble lie in the future, and the crime lies in the present.

At these times, it naturally means that Zhu Yunying needs to pay attention to it, and must not disturb the people, and must not allow some people to take advantage of it.

After chatting with Zhu Wei for a while, Zhu Yunying let Zhu Wei leave the Wuying Hall.

Regarding the management of the Yellow River, there is no need to talk to Zhu Wei in detail for the time being. It is only necessary to let Zhu Wei understand the court's determination.As for the matter of Hubu Shangshu's replacement, don't look at it seems to be provoked by Zhu Wei, but there is no need to talk so much with Zhu Wei.

Zhu Yunying knew these things in his heart, and in fact, Zhu Yun was also very aware of these things, so he wouldn't care so much about them.

Just do your own thing well, just do your own duty well, and the most important thing is to do well what the emperor entrusts, and that's enough.

What the civil and military officials are thinking now, in fact, Zhu Yunying doesn't need to care too much.Hubu Shangshu has replaced people. You may have seen a trend at this time. Next, around the position of Hubu Shangshu, many people may need to start working hard.

Zhu Yunying naturally knew that he knew well, he would still respect some opinions of the civil and military officials, and he would not act arbitrarily in some matters, so he must discuss with the officials about the suitable candidate.

As for what kind of candidate he will choose in the end, Zhu Yunying has a good idea now, and there are certain things that Zhu Yunying will not be easily shaken.

Don't look at Zhu Yunying losing his temper in the hall, but it doesn't mean that Zhu Yunying can stop doing things after being angry.There are still many memorials that still need to be approved, especially if there is no court meeting, it is even more necessary to review the memorials at this time.

These things are very normal for Zhu Yunying, and this is his basic job.At any rate, when he was less than ten years old, he was hugged by Lao Zhu to watch the memorial, and Lao Zhu and Da Zhu continued to explain it.

Although Zhu Yunying is only 26 now, if you really want to talk about the memorial, Zhu Yunying has been in contact with it for almost 20 years, and he is very familiar with some of the mysteries and articles here.

"My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince punished several clan and honorable sons in the main hall." Wang Chengen walked up to Zhu Yunying, and whispered, "His Royal Highness, many people failed to satisfy His Highness in the school examination."

Zhu Yunying raised his head slightly, looked at Wang Chengen and asked, "Oh? Does the crown prince have a pointer in his hand?"

Seeing Wang Chengen shaking his head, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "Go to Qianqing Palace and ask yourself. If the Supreme Emperor is unwilling to give the pointer, then we will give it to His Highness the Prince. It is also the Prince's responsibility to discipline the clan's children and urge the clan to make progress. "

This routine is actually familiar to the eldest son of the old Zhu family.

When Da Zhu was a child, he had the whip given by Lao Zhu in his hand. When his younger brothers were not studying well, Da Zhu could beat his weaker brothers while wiping his tears and hating iron for being weak.

As for Xiao Zhu, when he was a child, he made a banner with a tiger skin, and cut a bamboo in the imperial garden, saying that it was a reward from Lao Zhu and Da Zhu.Not to mention that the younger brothers were beaten when they were not studying well, some younger uncles were also beaten.

As for the bamboo that changes frequently, no one has ever doubted the legitimacy of that bamboo, and they dare not resist in front of Xiao Zhu.

As the eldest son, it is quite normal to discipline younger siblings, so there is nothing much to say.

Now this excellent tradition needs to be continued, and Xiao Zhu is about the same age now, and can justifiably hold the whip of improvement to urge his younger brothers and sisters to make progress.If they don't live up to expectations, little Zhu can punish his younger brothers and sisters while wiping away his tears.

This is not just cultivating little Zhu's prestige, these are actually the prince's responsibility, everything is so legitimate.

In fact, Zhu Yunying also had enough confidence. As long as Wang Chengen went to the Qianqing Palace, little Zhu at the Daben Hall would immediately get the whip from the Supreme Emperor.

This is even more of a "shangfang sword", and Lao Zhu is definitely happy to see such a thing come to fruition.Because this is not only to cultivate little Zhu's prestige, but also to urge the clan's children to make progress. Lao Zhu must be very happy to see such a thing happen.

For little Zhu, Lao Zhu has always had high expectations, and he is also sparing no effort to cultivate the prestige of little Zhu.So in these matters, Lao Zhu must definitely help.

As for the children of the clan, even though Lao Zhu seems to have not particularly high requirements for the children of the clan in many cases.But Lao Zhu must also hope that his children and grandchildren will have a better future, and they are all dudes, and Lao Zhu is not too happy to see it.

In fact, this is exactly the case. After hearing Wang Chengen's report, Lao Zhu, who was planning to take a rest, immediately took out a whip that he had prepared a long time ago from the bedroom, inlaid with gems and plated with gold, and just carried the domineering whip in his hand. Go to the main hall.

His great-grandson is promising, of course, Lao Zhu has to help his great-grandson stand on the platform, to make his baby's affairs more legitimate, and to make his baby's great-grandson more prestigious.

Who made my baby's great-grandson behave? Don't look at the usual fun and so on, but he never behaves mischievously.Unlike the disappointing grandson, sometimes he dares to make his own opinions.

Although Zhu Yunying didn't show up, he knew a lot of things, and he only needed to listen cheerfully at this time, and he knew it well.

Of course, Zhu Yunying couldn't be happier that her own child is promising.It is a good thing to make little Zhu more prestigious!
