Daming heir

Chapter 181

Inside the hall.

The sound of trial reform has been reverberating for a long time.

Zhu Yunxi himself was also very moved, and the people in the world can rise and fall.Without the support of the common people, it is absolutely impossible for the great Ming Dynasty to last forever.And those officials and gentry, even when the dynasty changes, they only need to kneel down easily, and they can continue to enjoy the days of peace and prosperity.

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang sincerely, sighed, and then expressed his vision full of expectations.

"The country and the court open source, but the people will never increase!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and his eyes gradually became deeper.

Zhu Biao, who was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly trembled with his legs that had not yet recovered.

Zhu Biao muttered in a low voice with an indistinguishable expression: "Never add a gift..."

Zhu Yunxi nodded his head and said: "Yes. Sun'er is in the whole situation in Zhejiang Province. There are few people who own land, but there are many people who work for merchants. There are many people without land. Under such circumstances, how can we continue to collect taxes on the people's land.

Grain grows from the field, not just for nothing.No matter who occupies the land, the imperial court only collects a fixed amount of taxes on this land, and the local government can no longer use means to conceal it from the imperial court.There is also a base number for the imperial court's income per mu of land per year.

Officials, gentry, merchants, and merchants already had preferential treatment, and the imperial court gave them preferential treatment, and it was their duty and obligation to pay taxes according to their numbers. "

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man: "Grandpa, our family came out of Guzhuang Village in Fengyang, out of the common people. Why do we only collect taxes from them, and pay taxes to those officials and gentry who are supported by the people of the world?" Preferential treatment for merchants? How unfair is it to the common people?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered at this time.

He muttered in a low voice: "Come out from among the common people... Yes, our family must not forget about this."

Seeing what the old man said, Zhu Yunxi said excitedly: "Grandpa agrees?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his good-looking grandson, and was about to speak.

Sun Gou'er in front came in: "Report to Your Majesty, the members of the Chaozhong Hall have arrived."

……

Jinyiwei's yamen received a report from Jinyiwei of Zhejiang Road today.

In the same way, the yamen of the various ministries of the imperial court in Yingtian City also received memorials from Zhejiang Dao one by one like snowflakes today.

Without exception, the above are all saying that Zhejiang Province is experiencing snowstorms, local civil uprisings have occurred, and Ningbo Prefecture has suffered Japanese invasion.

Zhan Hui and others walked into the side hall, bowed and lowered their eyebrows to look at the three Tian family members who looked worried, and their hearts tightened slightly.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the Grandson of the Emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head slightly and glanced at these ministerial officials.

"Do you know everything about Zhejiang Road?"

"The ministers have already known."

"Yeah." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "We discussed everything on the way here, and now it's time to come up with any solution."

Everyone was puzzled suddenly, and the emperor reprimanded them for their incompetence without opening their mouths. Zhejiang Dao was incompetent, which caused changes in the place.Instead, he skipped the reprimand and asked for their opinions directly.

As the head of civil servants in the court, Zhan Hui stepped forward cautiously, bowed his fists and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I thought that I should write the Zhejiang Road to appease the local people, open warehouses for relief, give rice and clothes, and build huts." Do not let the people who have been hit by snowstorm freeze in the wild.

The imperial court also wanted to allocate money and food to Zhejiang Road for the relief of the common people.The Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion need to write the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division, send troops to guard everywhere, suppress the rioters, and clear the Japanese plague in Ningbo Mansion. "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, this is the usual practice of relief.

He added: "You can calculate how much money the imperial court will spend this time."

Zhao Mian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came out immediately: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Household Affairs has calculated that this snowstorm in Zhejiang Province has involved a wide range of areas. Except for Yanzhou and Hengzhou, almost all of Zhejiang Province has been hit by snowstorms. Zhejiang Province There is not much grain stored in the official warehouse. The court will probably spend 30 taels of money and 50 shi of grain this time."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "30 taels of silver, 50 shi of grain...does the imperial court have so much left?"

The imperial court has been stretched all these years, lest there will be a few more disasters in the local area in a year.

Zhao Mian smiled at this time, and did not forget to look at Zhu Yunxi: "Return to Your Majesty, this year's autumn grain has been delivered to the warehouse, and the 50 shi grain court can also get it. As for the money, the warehouse is also There are very few of them. Fortunately, some time ago, there was a reorganization of the post station donated by the emperor's grandson.

At present, it has been implemented in the whole territory of Zhili for several months, and the six provinces of Zhejiang, Shandong, Henan, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian have also been implemented for more than half a month, and the household department has also accumulated a lot of money. "

It is rare to hear that the imperial court is not short of food or money, and can calmly relieve the disaster.

The worry on Zhu Yuanzhang's face couldn't help but relax, and he saw Zhao Mian mentioned at this time that the good-looking grandson had made so much money for the court by reorganizing the post station.

He couldn't help but chuckled and looked at Zhu Yunxi: "I didn't think so, but your boy has made another contribution."

Zhan Hui spoke in a timely manner and praised: "The grandson of the emperor is working in the country, and the ministers will be able to calmly deal with the disaster now. It is really a blessing for our court to have the grandson of the emperor!"

However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was smiling and praising the grandson of the emperor just now, suddenly changed his face.

With his change, Zhan Hui and the others immediately became tense, not knowing what the emperor thought of.

Just when everyone was panicking.

But Zhu Yuanzhang said in a vague way: "Zhejiang Dao's political envoy is incompetent! The poor relief has forced the people to revolt.

The punishment of Zhejiang was judged to be incompetent, and the local gentry and merchants disguised themselves as Japanese pirates to loot the place.

The commanders of the Zhejiang capital are incompetent, the Ningbo government guards are incompetent, and the thieves are looting and invading, but they are powerless to suppress and suppress! "

After a few words, the emperor directly scolded everyone on Zhejiang Road as incompetent.

Just when Zhan Hui wanted to say that disaster relief is the most important thing now, and Zhejiang Dao officialdom should not be tampered with.

But Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly: "It's rotten! It's all rotten! I don't believe them anymore!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi frowned, and couldn't help but look sideways at his father.

The old man has already decided that in Zhejiang Road, he will implement the implementation of the taxation of the land into the mu, the integration of officials and gentry, and the supervision of commercial taxes.

The old man is laying the groundwork!
The faces of Zhan Hui and others changed suddenly. The emperor's words were very meaningful. On the premise that the emperor did not trust Zhejiang Dao's officialdom, this time the imperial court's aid to Zhejiang Dao might have to change.

Zhan Hui could be regarded as clever, and he immediately probed in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the disaster in Zhejiang Province has been severely affected this time, and it has involved a wide range. Should the imperial court send an imperial envoy to supervise the relief work?"

The emperor did not trust the officialdom of Zhejiang Dao, so he must have intended for the imperial court to directly undertake disaster relief.

After Zhan Hui finished speaking, Zhao Mian who was beside him immediately gave him a faint look.

Old man Zhan is quick-talking, and he always speaks according to His Majesty's will.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "We do have this intention, but it is only a candidate for the imperial envoy..."

Zhu Yunxi knelt down in front of the old man with a plop.

"Grandpa, my grandson, as the grandson of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, shoulders the responsibility of supervising the country. This time, there are thousands of people of our Ming Dynasty in Zhejiang Province, who are suffering from hunger and cold winter. My grandson is willing to invite me to go to Zhejiang Province to relieve the disaster!"

The old man of the emperor loves the grandson of the emperor so much, it must be impossible for the grandson of the emperor to go to Zhejiang Road where the civil uprising took place at this time.

Zhan Hui thought about it, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the emperor's grandson is the foundation of the country. At this time, the disaster situation in Zhejiang Province is unknown. I think you should choose another old man from the court to go to Zhejiang Province to supervise the disaster relief."

Zhu Yunxi also wanted to grab this job, so that he could go to Zhejiang to carry out the pilot reform.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang already took a step forward and said: "We also think so, the court should send important officials to deter Zhejiang Road, and strictly prevent Xiaoxiao from making trouble."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the good grandson beside him kneeling to invite him out of Beijing.

Then he looked at Zhan Hui and the others: "Let's think about it, our second child is in Beijing now, let him go to Zhejiang Road, what do you think?"

King Qin?

Let him go to Zhejiang Road to provide disaster relief for the court?
Zhan Hui and the others couldn't help but hesitate.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Although we look down on the second child, it is enough to deter Zhejiang. Let the emperor's grandson and Tang Li go there as his deputy."

Zhu Yunxi, who was still kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but grow his mouth.

After the old man said this, he didn't object to his request.

The corner of his mouth raised involuntarily.

My good second uncle has to take the blame for me again this time.
