Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 666
Zhu Yunying doesn't think he is narcissistic, he also thinks that in this world, he is the most important one in Lao Zhu's heart.Even little Zhu couldn't compare.

This point is actually the same as before. Even though Zhu Yunying was favored in the past, he also knew that Da Zhu was what Lao Zhu cared about most.

But it doesn't matter, the main thing is that as long as Lao Zhu cares, it means that his position is stable.Especially now that Zhu Yunying is sitting on the dragon chair, so things like jealousy should be forgotten.

For Zhu Yunying, it is more important to handle some political affairs well, and these are also the job of an emperor.

It's rare to have time to rest, but it doesn't mean that Zhu Yunying can sleep until the sun is three poles, or that there are no political affairs to disturb him. It means that Zhu Yunying can sleep for a while, which means that he doesn't need to go to court .

In fact, there is not much difference in other things. Even during such a rest, Zhu Yunying still has some things to do.

People outside said that Emperor Yingshi was not good at Confucianism, and that Emperor Yingshi was extremely tired of the Four Books and Five Classics.

There is some reason for this, after all these years, many people have indeed clearly felt some of Zhu Yunying's attitude.Zhu Yunying is indeed not close to Confucianism, and there are even some examples of suppression.

Therefore, among the scholars, the reputation of Emperor Yingshi is not very good. If it weren't for Lao Zhu's treatment of Confucian disciples worse before, maybe everyone has arranged it severely now, then he would be Emperor Yingshi.

Zhu Yunying didn't really care much about the comparison, or what he cared about was not how those Hongru's commented.

Not being close to Confucianism does not mean that Zhu Yunying wants to completely eliminate Confucianism. This is also unrealistic. After all, many Confucian ideas are still beneficial to the monarchs of feudal dynasties.What's more, it is unrealistic to find a suitable idea.

Zhu Yunying is not close to Confucianism, but he also knows that Confucianism has many merits. He is even more aware that no matter he is a son of a dragon or a descendant of a clan, he needs to learn it.They are not required to take the imperial examinations, but they should also be able to read and understand.

I have to say that most of the time, Zhu Yunying's requirements are very low.But this is normal, who made these people special.

Everyone was not surprised by Zhu Yunying's arrival, at most they were taken aback.

For example, Zhu Yunying did not directly enter the main hall, but listened outside the hall.I also looked at it a little bit, and found that many people were deserting or taking a nap in class.

This is also embarrassing for the teacher, but it is normal, these students really don't cherish the opportunity to study.Many people even felt that if it wasn't for the emperor's request, all of them might have gone somewhere to have fun.

For these students who can't be beaten or scolded, the teachers really have no other options, but they can only work hard to do their own job well. What should be taught should still be taught. As for how much the students can learn, That's all secondary.

Zhu Yunying can only complain about the waste of top-level educational resources by the clan's children and some noble children.After a little testing and teaching, reward or praise a few who are still good at learning, and what is indispensable is to criticize and scold those who are unreliable. This is also Zhu Yunying's job.

Showing his face in the Dabentang, it can be regarded as showing Zhu Yunying's attitude of persuading students, which is enough. After all, Zhu Yunying doesn't expect the children of the clan to take the number one exam, so many requirements are very low.

Attitude, that's the thing, that's the thing about birth, you can't expect these people with more noble status to want to be named on the gold list one by one, that's very unrealistic.

For the emperor, persuasion is an attitude.Now that my attitude is no longer a problem, I should go and get busy with other things. After all, there are still many things to do, and I can't always waste my precious time on a group of scumbags.

When they arrived at the Hall of Martial Arts, Zhu Yunying simply looked at the memorial and asked Chang Mao, who had been waiting for a long time, to have an audience.

This is not above the court, so there is no need for too many formalities.Such things, whether Zhu Yunying or Chang Mao, are quite accustomed to it.

After chatting briefly about family matters, Zhu Yunying said, "Uncle, that tree oil is going to Beijing soon, you should know these things well, and you should be ready."

Chang Mao immediately replied, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I have prepared myself for a while, and there will be no difference!"

Chang Mao, there is a reason for saying this. But palm oil, the auspiciousness that the emperor consciously prepared, naturally cannot appear. Some embarrassing things must be foolproof, so that everyone can be happy.
What's more, there are still many clan and honorable interests in this matter, so naturally there can be no problems.

Zhu Yunying smiled, and was very satisfied with Chang Mao's answer, but Zhu Yunying also felt that these things were also things that Chang Mao should do. After all, Chang Mao was an insider and knew some of Zhu Yunying's plans.

If such a few things can't be done well, Chang Mao will not stand above the court, and it is better to rely on his status as the emperor's uncle with peace of mind.

Although Chang Mao's ability is mediocre, he can do some things anyway.Many things, that is, he is the most suitable to come forward.

Zhu Yunying didn't hide it either, and said, "The tree oil is a good thing, but it can't be used for cooking, which is also a troublesome thing."

Chang Mao didn't care anymore, and said, "Your Majesty is worrying too much, how many ordinary people are willing to put more oil in their cooking. It's a great thing to be able to add a few drops of oil to fried dishes!"

Well, these things Chang Mao said are also true. The people of the Ming Dynasty were not that rich, and things like oil and meat were quite luxurious.It is normal for many people not to see oily meat in their daily lives, and it is indeed a luxury to be able to sprinkle a few drops of oil.

Hearing what Chang Mao said, Zhu Yunying also became happy, "That's what I said, but we still want the common people to have enough food and clothing."

Chang Mao immediately started flattering, saying flatteringly, "Your Majesty cares about the common people, that is the blessing of the common people!"

Zhu Yunying directly interrupted. After all these years, Zhu Yunying has heard too much flattery, "We are the father of the king, and this is what we should do. Speaking of which, there are a lot of tree oil in Nanyang, so it is not considered precious. It's just that It will cost some money to transport it to Daming."

This is also where Zhu Yunying is more helpless. The current level of productivity is limited, and the transportation capacity is also limited, so many things can only be thought about.

Zhu Yunying really wanted to use palm oil as a supplement to rapeseed oil, and in fact Zhu Yunying really planned to do so.But this does not mean that the supply of palm oil can be opened up, or that the price of palm oil can be lowered and the common people can afford it without pressure, and that is not realistic.

Chang Mao said at this time, "Your Majesty, I think that the guards in Nantou should use tree oil. Most of the men in the army can eat it one by one. If there is some oil in the stomach, it must be less Eat two steamed buns."

Hearing what Chang Mao said, Zhu Yunying became silent. He felt that what Chang Mao said was reasonable.

It is not surprising that men generally have bigger appetites, and there are some big appetites in the army who can eat.If there is not enough oil and water in the stomach, you can only make up for it by eating more, and you can't bear hunger.

However, this matter is not so easy. In the final analysis, it is still the cost of oil, freight and other issues.Although there are some things that cannot be simply judged by the price, or should be done even if the cost is not small, it still needs to be done according to one's ability.

Zhu Yunying didn't give an accurate answer, and said, "Uncle is right, let's add up these things later."

Chang Mao didn't say much, as long as he gave his own suggestion, as for whether the emperor would adopt it, that was the emperor's business.What's more, he also understands that it will not be a trivial matter when it comes to the army's money and food.This kind of matter is bound to be discussed in the five army governor's mansion and in the court.

Zhu Yunying also said at this time, "Tree oil is new at the beginning, and many people in Ming Dynasty have never heard of it. We don't expect that people will use it all at once, but uncle should also prepare it."

Chang Mao said confidently, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we still have some businesses in our mansion all these years, and many people have given us some thin noodles. Some restaurants and oil shops are also willing to help us."

There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying that, although in today's universal values, doing business is considered a very shameful thing.But among these honorable families, which one does not have a private property.

It is not an exaggeration to say that many profitable industries are operated by powerful people, and ordinary people have no way to get a share of the profits.

Restaurants or oil mills, etc., can be regarded as one of the common industries, and this is a relatively legitimate industry.Whether it is the Zhongshan Palace or the Kaiping Palace, they all have such industries.

As for some clans, they would naturally have such industries. After all, Zhu Yunying also allowed the clans to do business.At most, some clans would not be allowed to accumulate too much money, and some clans' properties would be slightly restricted.

Chang Mao is very clear that his face is still big enough, and there must be no problem in launching some palm oil.It would be impossible not to give Kai Pinggong face, because this matter still has a part of the Zhongshan Palace, if His Highness King Wu is not happy, it will not be easy to mess with.

So give Chang Mao some face, that is a happy thing, otherwise it will be very difficult!
It seems that Zhu Yunying does not need to worry about some things. Palm oil is indeed a new thing, and many people will find it strange at first.However, there are still some effects in promoting it unreasonably.

At this time, there is no need to talk about the laws of the market. In the eyes of some people, the laws of the market are no match for the imperial power.

Zhu Yunying is quite satisfied with the comparison. It is not a bad thing to use the simplest and rude method to let some people quickly understand and accept palm oil.Just think of it as a one-force reduction of ten meetings, this is also a good way.

What's more, Zhu Yunying also understands that in fact, many people may not know that what they eat is palm oil.It is also normal to eat and use it in a daze.

With a capable general like Chang Mao, Zhu Yunying can be more at ease and worry less.

After briefly discussing the matter of palm oil, Zhu Yunying had other things to do. After all, it was inconvenient for Zhu Yunying to do many things directly, so Chang Mao needed to come forward.Over the years, Chang Mao has indeed helped Zhu Yunying a lot.

Looking at Chang Mao, Zhu Yunying asked, "What's going on in Liaodong?"

Speaking of Liaodong, Chang Mao felt that it was a loss-making business. The Kaiping Palace has invested some resources in Liaodong over the years.Not only the Kaiping Palace, but also some regular ones, more or less invested resources in Liaodong.

The thing to do is naturally to develop Liaodong, which is something that Emperor Yingshi cares about. Even if it is a bit thankless now, he needs to continue to grit his teeth and persevere.After all, many nobles now don't care whether Liaodong can produce output, as long as they firmly follow His Majesty's footsteps, this is also the most important thing.

Chang Mao immediately said at this time, "We have also heard about Liaodong land fertilizer, saying that any grain can grow very well!"

The black land is naturally very fertile, and Zhu Yunying naturally understands this.But Zhu Yunying understands better that the current Liaodong is not Beidacang, not even the Great Northern Wilderness, because the current Liaodong is very primitive and barbaric.

Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "We believe in the fertile land and high yield. It's just that it's cold over there, and many grains can only be cooked once a year."

Chang Mao was also helpless. In fact, not only in Liaodong, but also in many places in the north. The food can only be cooked once a year.But Liaodong seems to be extraordinarily cold, much colder than Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.

Chang Mao continued to say at this time, "Many farmers can't stand the bitter cold over there. The Zhuangzi of our family always needs to make up some new people."

This is putting gold on their faces. Those so-called farmers may not have come from Nanyang to Liaodong willingly.Those people were not only unable to adapt to the cold in Liaodong, but also unable to adapt to high-intensity labor.

It's just that everyone still needs to save face, anyway, just talk to yourself, just put on a dignified face.

Looking at Zhu Yunying, Chang Mao said again, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu went to Korea, and he didn't send us some Korean labor. We thought that the Koreans suffered from the bitter cold, so we sent some in the early years, and now they are all given to the King of Shu." Your Highness has detained it."

In the early years, Chang Sen and Chang Sheng were stationed in the three guards of Busan, and occasionally they were able to catch people.But now, Goryeo is short of people.Even the captives should be kept, and they can no longer be sent to Liaodong to dig the ground.

Look, in today's world, there is a shortage of labor force everywhere.But there is no other way, it is not good for Zhu Yunying to directly force the people of Daming!

Then we can only persevere, as long as the foundation of Liaodong is better, the people of Ming Dynasty will be willing to go there!

Going through the Guandong earlier, Zhu Yunying can be regarded as laying the foundation in advance!
