Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 32 Zhongshu Province, danger!
"Science and education is science and education, and immunity is immunity. Don't get mixed up here!" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded.

"Aren't all of you scholars very high-pitched? It's something like 'establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations'."

"After these four sentences, there is no extra sentence 'seeking land for the family'?"

"We're just wondering. Are you scholars studying just to take advantage of me, Daming?"

These words are too serious, Wang Guangyang opened his mouth to argue, but Lao Zhu waved his sleeves directly: "Okay! Don't say any more! You just step back!"

"If it is really difficult for an official to serve in the army, it can be converted into money and food."

"As for the specific folding method, in the past few days, the Ministry of Education has drawn up a practical and feasible plan for us on this matter!"

This is good, and Lao Zhu directly silenced him.Wang Guangyang had no choice but to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, and stepped back.

But he thought in his heart that in the name of the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, he would temporarily put this edict on hold.Then incite Ke Dao to give advice to His Majesty.

It is necessary for His Majesty to take back his order and make this matter invisible.

How precious are scholars, how can they be taxed like those mud legs?
Such a natural thing, but also to pay for money?

It's really a big joke in the world.

"Is there anything else? Report it quickly." Lao Zhu said impatiently.These officials, we just want them to pay food and serve as a whole, so we whispered among the people.

Everyone is a traitor!

No matter how Lao Zhu sees civil and military officials now, he doesn't like it.

"Encourage Your Majesty." Haiyuan, Minister of the Household Department, came out of the squad and said: "The day before yesterday, Your Majesty ordered the generals to lead the troops to Beiping Mansion, and together with Wei Guogong, wiped out the Jianzhou Jurchen."

"However, in order to supply the army of the Northern Expedition years ago, the household department did not have much surplus food. Now that we have to go out again, the army's food and grass may not be able to support it."

"Where should we cut expenses, please show your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, he bowed down, unable to see the expression on his face.

"Can't supply it?" Old Zhu stared straight at him.

"Why didn't you say it just now?"

"Your minister is talented, but I still have a little bit of extravagant hope. Maybe my household department can save some money and save this money."

"It's only now that I can figure out that this gap can't be saved. To tell you the truth, my mind is still full of calculations until now!"

Haiyuan said.

"Hmph, you are dedicated to your duties, even at the court meeting, you are still full of calculations!" Zhu Yuanzhang mocked.

How could he not have guessed that these Qingliu civil servants were giving him a difficult problem, expressing their dissatisfaction with the withdrawal of the preferential policy in a subtle way.

"Notice to suspend the construction of the Imperial City of the Central Capital, and divert construction funds to cover military expenses!"

"The house in our hometown may not be built yet, but the Jurchens in Jianzhou must die!"

"So, is that enough?" He looked down at Haiyuan.

"Yes. Your Majesty is wise." Hai Yuan cupped his hands and said. "In this way, the minister will be fine."

"Since there is nothing wrong, let's retreat." Old Zhu waved his hand irritably.

All the officials bowed and retreated, and Zhu Yuanzhang, accompanied by Erhu, left Fengtian Hall.Fang didn't go far, and Zhu Biao caught up behind him.

"Father!"

"It's Biaoer." Old Zhu stopped walking. "What, what's the matter?"

"Father, can the matter of canceling the preferential treatment be successful?" Zhu Biao's words revealed worry.Just now, he also participated in the court meeting, and he took into account the resistance of the officials to cancel the preferential treatment.

Although this matter was personally decided by my father, if all the officials contradict it, it may be difficult to implement it.If it is carried out forcefully, it may cause a big mess.

If this is the case, then the gain outweighs the loss.

"What is it called father, father!" Old Zhu glared at his eldest son pretending to be reproachful.Then waved their hands, the guards and eunuchs bowed in understanding, deliberately slowed down, leaving their father and son walking side by side.

"Canceling the preferential treatment is impossible. Didn't you see that we retreated from Wang Guangyang with a wave, and that Haiyuan came out of work to give us eye drops?"

"Hey, they are a group of Qingliu scholars, but they will hug each other to keep warm."

"But..." Zhu Biao wondered. "Isn't what Mr. Hai said about military expenses?"

"You are still young, and you don't understand the twists and turns in the stomachs of their scholars!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted disdainfully. "Let's not let Wang Guangyang speak, Wang Guangyang can't object, and use his eyes to ask Haiyuan to come out of work to persuade us."

"Haiyuan didn't dare to speak out, so he found an opening to find our fault."

"So that we can have a bottom line in our hearts and know that these officials are dissatisfied with our order this time."

"After a few days, please stop building the Fengyang Imperial City and use the money to pay for the military. The book should be handed over by the Ministry of Education."

"There's no need to talk about this matter in the court, but we have to say it ourselves today. It's intentional to make us feel uncomfortable."

"This..." Zhu Biao was still young after all, and he didn't understand how these two irreconcilable matters were brought together.

But he was still worried: "Since this is the case, what if all the ministers and workers object?"

"I can't say it bluntly, I will be in trouble tomorrow. Otherwise, it will definitely cause waves, and I am afraid that some wolf-minded people will plot secretly..."

"Hey, why don't we know the peeing nature of these civil servants!" Old Zhu snorted. "We have already calculated their reaction. At the beginning, we didn't expect to cancel all the preferential exemptions. Let the Ministry of Education discuss it first. When they start pushing three obstacles, we are pretending to make concessions and delineate the preferential exemption quota. It’s just a category.”

"Put a band on this group of officials and gentry first, and then slowly tighten it up to make the scope smaller and smaller. Seeing that we have made concessions, they naturally have nothing to say."

"It turns out that from the very beginning, Father had the idea of ​​limiting the preferential quota! It's not a one-size-fits-all!" Zhu Biao suddenly realized.

"That's not it?" Old Zhu replied. "We're not in the mood to fight this group of officials over such a trivial matter! This method will not solve the root cause after all. The Jianzhou Jurchen has a bigger problem. At this time, they still need to work hard to stabilize the country."

"In the future, there will really be a solution to the root cause, and then we should make great efforts!"

"Yes. My child understands." Zhu Biao nodded.

"But today's court meeting, we can see it." Lao Zhu continued. "The Secretary of State, after all, is too powerful, and dares to show no sign of us in the court meeting..."

"In the future, the left and right prime ministers of the Ministry of Education may be the vanguard of those literati who bully our descendants."

"In the previous dynasties, there were many incidents of treachery and chaos. Since the Ming Dynasty, there have been so many unfaithful and unfilial officials. I am afraid that it is the powerful Zhongshu Sheng who acted as a protective umbrella for them. "

"We still have to settle this matter early..." Lao Zhu stroked his short beard under his jaw.

"Father?" Zhu Biao was surprised.My father, don't you want to waste your appearance?
This is a big move!Abolishing the aspect without reason will bring great turmoil to the country!
"Boss, why are you surprised? We haven't said how to do it yet."

"At present, stability is the main priority. However, Wang Guangyang and Haiyuan can't stay... They belong to Qingliu. It's hard to say whether they will trip up the Huaixi generals in the Jianzhou Jurchen matter!" Old Zhu coldly snorted.These Qingliu all thought that he was ignorant of the factional disputes in the court, but in fact he knew all about it!

"Let's let Hai Yuan go to Fujian for the first time. As for Wang Guangyang... this old pedant, if he doesn't do his research properly, he insists on avoiding the Huaixi Gang."

"The position of the left minister, let Hu Weiyong take the top first, or use Mr. Li again..."

"By the way. Where is Lao Wu today?" While thinking about it in his mind, Lao Zhu suddenly changed the topic by himself.

"Fifth brother? I think it's in Dahontang."

Zhu Biao replied. "Today, it's time for the gentlemen to test the studies of the kings."

"A few days ago, when my son went to pay a visit to Mr. Song, he learned that Mr. Song attached great importance to this mid-month exam. He had already drawn up different topics for the kings. He even wanted to bring some of his most proud young disciples with him. Set an example for the kings."
