Daming heir

Chapter 149
The clan of the Ming Dynasty will eventually become a burden on the country in the future!
Zhu Yunxie knew very well that within a few years, according to the Ming Dynasty's clan and vassal system, the Ming Dynasty would shoulder the burden of supporting tens of millions of clan relatives for no reason.

That is a group of gluttons who are not engaged in production, consume people's fat and people's acres, and continue to exploit the local area.

And with the emergence of party disputes in the future of the Ming Dynasty, the local clans will become the same burden as the Ming clan. The two are like two mountains, weighing heavily on the shoulders of the Sunset Empire, which is like a rotten tree.

But at this moment, Zhu Yunxi looked at the back of the old man in front of him, and he was also very clear in his heart, as long as the old man was still in charge of the emperor's power and ruled the empire.

There will be no possibility of changing the clan system of the Ming Dynasty.

It is true that the old man is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but he is also the father and grandfather of the current clan of the Ming Dynasty.

More than 20 years ago, everything the old man experienced reminded him all the time that he should support his family well.

So this will also appear, why the second uncle, the king of Qin, Zhu Yu, was clearly in the fiefdom, and committed the most taboo thing of oppressing the people, but in the end he could only be whipped ten times with thorns, punished and sent to the Taimiao Temple to think about his mistakes and died.

On this issue, the old man himself is contradictory.

On one side are the common people of the world, on the other side are their own flesh and blood relatives.

To be able to do what he is doing now, Zhu Yunxi feels that the old man has gone through countless psychological balances.

When he was thinking about something, he didn't know that he had followed the old man into the side hall.

Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and continued to move forward.

With his hands on his hips, he just turned around when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, whose eldest grandson was about to bump into him, couldn't help but glared, and stretched out a hand to press Zhu Yunxi's head.

"Why do you lose your mind so many times today, kid?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, blew on his beard, and made a joke.

Only then did Zhu Yunxi, who was blocked from his way, come to his senses, and looked up at the old man with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Prince Zhu Biao, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said quietly: "Now that everyone who went to Zhongdu has returned, there is one more person. I am afraid that he is not thinking here."

The crown prince also made a joke, and then stretched out his hand, and the eunuch behind him followed the direction pointed by the prince, and took a book and handed it to the prince.

Under Zhu Yunxi's face full of grievances, Zhu Biao read the book humming.

Hearing the crown prince's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang also shook his eyes, and let out a hey: "You son of a bitch! Once you have a daughter-in-law, do you forget about grandpa?"

Zhu Yunxi's face became anxious: "Grandpa, please listen to my explanation..."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "We won't listen!"

He hummed, with some taste on his face, rolled his eyes, and sat down cross-legged.

Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his arm, placed it on the case table, touched a teapot, raised his head and started sucking.

He didn't let out a breath until he had had enough.

Then he raised his head and squinted at the eldest grandson, moved his mouth and said, "Sit down, we're going to take a test and test what you understand today."

Such school examinations have been indispensable every day since Zhu Yunxi took the seat of the grandson of the Emperor Jian Guo.

According to the old man's meaning, it is to check for gaps and make up for gaps. This procedure is essential.

Zhu Yunxi obeyed the order, nodded obediently, and sat cross-legged on the floor just like the old man.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest grandson calmly, and said, "Tell me first, what you understand today."

After the questioning, the old man started to hold the teapot that had been rolled out many years ago, and slowly sipped the tea soup at the spout.

Zhu Yunxi's face was ponderous, and his brows were slightly frowned.

Afterwards, just then slowly opened his mouth, sorting out today's sentiments.

"Today the meritorious military generals of the court and the central government pleaded guilty, and the civil officials asked to play, all for self-protection..."

While speaking, he looked up at the old man.

Seeing that the other party was still sipping tea leisurely, he continued.

"Grandpa may have clearly understood early in the morning that they will come out of this at the morning meeting."

"Grandpa, on the other hand, has been waiting, waiting for Second Uncle to return to Beijing, so that he can suddenly reappear in front of the courtiers under Second Uncle's name."

A gratified smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, he put down the teapot in his hand, looked at his eldest grandson kindly, and nodded to continue talking.

Zhu Yunxi hummed: "So, from the very beginning, Grandpa didn't intend to get into the crimes committed by the generals at home. Even... my grandson thought that Grandpa knew what they had done at home all these years from the very beginning."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Yunxi, humming and showing some dissatisfaction.

However, Zhu Yunxi continued: "There are also those courtiers imprisoned in Jinyiwei Zhao Prison, Grandpa has no intention of pursuing their family members for their crimes."

As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Grandpa is actually waiting for the second uncle to return to Beijing so that the second uncle can resist this matter. The beheading is said by the second uncle. The matter of interceding for them is The grandson told his father."

Having said that, Zhu Yunxi straightened up and kowtowed to the ground.

"Grandpa's words and deeds are all for the sake of father and grandson, paving the way for father and grandson. Grandson, thank you!"

Seeing the eldest grandson kneeling in front of him to thank him, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled all over his face, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at the scroll in his hand, but his eyes glanced at the prince here from time to time.

Zhu Biao suddenly rolled his eyes helplessly.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not willing to let his eldest grandson kneel all the time, so he quickly reached out and patted his back, and said with a smile on his face, "Get up quickly."

Zhu Yunxi got up immediately.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at the grandson in front of him with unconcealable satisfaction in his eyes.

But in the blink of an eye, he pretended to be suspicious and said: "Then tell me, is there another place where you understand today?"

Zhu Yunxi paused, what else?

Could it be that the old man is not just using the name of the old second uncle today to save prestige and favor for himself and the old man?
He couldn't help frowning and pondering.

Muttering in his mouth, he resumed the game again: "Jing Chuanhou and others plead guilty, and civil servants please play. The second uncle entered Beijing and returned to the palace in time, and took up the responsibility. Besides, that is... the fourth uncle's good news! "

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi immediately turned his head to look at the old man with a deep smile on his eyes.

It suddenly occurred to him that when he was outside the hall earlier, he was still thinking about what was missing.

At this time, he suddenly reacted.

"Grandpa hasn't awarded Fourth Uncle and the soldiers who won the Northern Expedition yet!"

Then, Zhu Yunxi finally understood, but his face was a little hesitant: "But... Grandpa, are you going to leave the task of rewarding the fourth uncle and the army to your father or grandson?"

The prince, who was no longer interested in reading, couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was expecting his grandson to hold back his fart, also looked helpless.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man's expression, and said deflatedly: "Isn't it? Well... it seems that it is indeed inappropriate. This is the authority of the grandfather. How the fourth uncle and the army should be rewarded is a matter of military affairs. The grandson must not be able to do it well... ..."

As he spoke, he began to ponder again.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry, and left aside the prince who put down the book.

"money!"

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi raised his head and let out a loud cry.

He really wanted to understand.

But at this time, he looked at the old man who was sitting cross-legged in front of him, like an old man at the entrance of the village, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

In Zhu Yunxi's heart, he was really afraid and admired.

Seeing that the eldest grandson reacted, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry, but just waited quietly.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi's heart felt as if the river was overwhelmed.

pass!

It's all over!

These days, things inside and outside Yingtian can all make sense!

Starting from changing the title of Huaiyou, the county country, everything can be strung together.

Changing his title to Huaiyou, the old man made a marriage for himself with the Tang family of Duke Xin's government.

Afterwards, the father left Beijing for a tour of the west, and he left Beijing for the central capital, and the second uncle was ordered to return to Beijing.

At this time, the battle in the north must have just been won, and the soldiers are returning from their squadrons.

Until today, after I came back from the middle school, I became the grandson of the Emperor Jian Guo.

The old man returned to Beijing after his second uncle, and saved himself favor and reputation in front of the courtiers.

And at that time, the old man must have known about it a long time ago, and today's fourth uncle's good news will be delivered to the palace.

It was also this matter that really contributed to the old man's appearance in front of the officials of the DPRK and China after many days.

Then, in the name of the second uncle, Jingchuanhou, Cao Zhen, etc., and the civil officials were punished.

The land was cleared, the salary was fined, and the house was ransacked.

All this is for money!
It is absolutely impossible for the imperial court not to reward the army after its victory and triumph, and the fines and money confiscated this time must be used to raise the rewards for the army this time.

At this moment, Zhu Yunxi was like enlightened.

It was the first time that I saw the old man's generosity directly, this kind of long-term foreshadowing and strategizing above the government.

Everything is like a doll in the hands of the old man, at the mercy of the old man alone.

only……

Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man: "It's just...the fines and the confiscated property are really used to reward the army?"

He looked at the old man hesitantly.

It can't be said that every time the Ming Dynasty's army wins and triumphs, the court will have to copy all the officials.

In a few years, there won't be a single official in Yingtian City.

Old Zhu's family has really become a polished commander.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, and then the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty showed a look of frustration on his face: "This time they hit the point of the gun. However, our family really has no money to reward the frontline army."

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of frustration.

In the past few years, the imperial court has continued to use troops. If it hadn't been for the fact that it was really wrong this time, he really didn't know where to squeeze out money to reward the frontline troops.

Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth, never expecting that the finances of the Ming Dynasty had reached such a level.

He couldn't help but look at his father beside him.

Being watched by his son, Zhu Biao shrugged and spread his hands: "There is no money. The summer grain has not been delivered this year, and the autumn grain has just been harvested. The treasury is really out of money now."

"No money!" Zhu Yunxi's eyes widened, and then he thought of Xia Yuanji who had been moaning and sighing in the past few days, looking unhappy all day long.

Probably at that time, the Ministry of Household Affairs was already struggling with where the court should get money.

Looking at the helplessness on the faces of the old man and the old man.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help drooping his shoulders.

All of a sudden, the three most authoritative men in the world were worried about one thing at the same time.

Just suddenly.

Zhu Yunxi regained his spirits and his face was full of complacency.

"Grandpa, father!"

"I know where to get the money!"
