Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chapter 48 Saying so, I'm a good-for-nothing!
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood Zhu Biaozhuo's sudden question.

Obviously, he saw Zhu Biao's little thoughts.

But this was originally what Zhu Yuanzhang hoped to see.

Fabricate a 'before' marriage contract for Chu Ze, and choose Lan Yu as the target.

This matter seems random, but in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had his own considerations.

The reason for giving Chu Ze such an old man as Lan Yu is because Lan Yu has a close relationship with Zhu Biao.

If Chu Ze became Lan Yu's son-in-law, then he would have Lan Yu as a springboard in the future, no matter whether Lan Yu recognized Chu Ze as his son-in-law or not.

If Chu Ze is suddenly reused in the future, even if there are courtiers who want to object, they will have to look at Lan Yu's face.

As the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face.

With Sapphire standing behind him, if Chu Ze is arranged next to Zhu Biao in the future, there will naturally be less gossip.

And the second one is to ask Chu Ze to restrain Lan Yu well.

Sapphire is a material that can be made, and Zhu Yuanzhang still knows this in his heart.

But with his temperament, he is too reckless, and he often does things without thinking.

This kind of person is a reckless man.

And Chu Ze, if this guy can really return his heart, he will definitely let Lan Yu take it back in terms of his relationship with Lan Yu.

Of course, in addition to these two points, there is another extremely important point.

If Zhu Biao had an accident
"Biao'er has nothing to say, just say it, this is also my family, there is no need to hide anything."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Biao was deliberately diverting the topic, but also deliberately wanted to find an opportunity for Chu Ze to show his ability.

After all, Zhu Biaozhai had a kind heart, so he naturally didn't want to see Lan Yu and Chu Ze making such a row.

If this marriage can be accomplished, it is naturally the best thing.

Because once the marriage is completed, Chu Ze will be stamped with Zhu Biao's mark.

"Father, it's actually not a big deal. The main thing is that in recent days, I have been thinking about the issue of the minister's salary that I mentioned last time. I think that the minister's salary is a little lower after all."

"Just a ban on killing and killing is a way of tyranny after all! If you want the officials to return to their hearts, you should give them grace! You should not be bound by cruel officials!"

"However, my son felt that if he rashly added meritorious service to his ministers, it would undoubtedly overrule the previous court's salary system, which would shake the prestige and credibility of the court."

"So I would like to ask the godfather and uncle, if I want to increase the salary of my ministers now, how should I increase it? How much should I increase, and what name should I use?"

As for the lack of salaries of the ministers and workers of the Ming Dynasty, Chu Ze had actually pointed it out from the very beginning.

But this matter is far from easy to deal with.

Don't think it's just Zhu Yuanzhang's words. Considering everyone's hard work, give everyone a salary increase, and everyone can work hard in the future.

The salary of the ministers was fixed from the beginning.

And it has been in effect for ten years now.

During the period, how many courtiers behaved disorderly because of their low salaries, and eventually their heads fell to the ground due to corruption and bribery.

This matter has not been counted yet.

But one thing is certain, everyone in the court must be very aware that the salary of the courtiers is too low, which makes life very difficult for most people.

And although no one dared to say anything, they were very clear in their hearts.

All of this was actually Zhu Yuanzhang's fault, but no one dared to say it.

If Zhu Yuanzhang spoke rashly at this time and said that he would raise the salary of the courtiers, it would undoubtedly mean that he realized his mistake.

If there is no reasonable reason to raise the salary, it will undoubtedly tell all the courtiers that the emperor knew his mistake and corrected it.

If this is the case, what should the officials who were forced to embezzle and kill by their previous lives say?
In the final analysis, the most important thing at this time is not how much to increase the salary of the courtiers, but how to add this salary without damaging the court's face.

That's the crux of the matter.

The emperor cannot be wrong, even if there is a mistake, it cannot be confirmed!

At least, Zhu Yuanzhang thought so after hearing Zhu Biao's inquiry.

And he didn't have any intention of speaking, or in other words, he didn't want to think about it at all.

If he considered this matter, it would be tantamount to admitting his previous mistakes.

As for Sapphire beside her, her brows were already frowning.

The question Zhu Biao asked is obviously not in his field!
You know, he is a general, a general!
This is clearly a matter of internal affairs.

If you ask Lan Yu to lead troops to fight, he will definitely boost morale, and kill the opponent without leaving a single piece.

But you asked him to handle internal affairs, isn't that bullshit?

If other people ask about it, it's fine, if it's a big deal, they can't explain why, so they just start scolding.

Scold the other party for not knowing what is good or bad, and scold him for not having good eyesight.

If scolding is not enough, then simply beat him up.

But it was his good nephew who asked this question, and also the prince of Ming Dynasty, the future prince.

This... This made Sapphire a little embarrassed.

Beating and scolding is out of the question, and his nephew's question, let alone giving advice, has not cleared his mind yet..
This increase in salary was originally a good thing for ministers and workers, a great thing!
Can't it just be added?
Why are there so many twists and turns!
"Chu Ze, don't hide your clumsiness! If you have any ideas, you can tell them. It just so happens that the father and uncle are here, and they can help you palm your eyes!"

Zhu Biao looked at the father who closed his eyes and rested his mind and didn't plan to speak, and then looked at Sapphire whose face was flushed, but couldn't make a sound for a long time.

Only then did he turn his gaze to Chu Ze who was at the side.

This matter itself was brought up by Chu Ze, and Zhu Biao thought, at least he has a solution!

Although Chu Ze said that he is not a great person, in Chu Ze's own words, he is standing on the shoulders of giants, so the starting point is higher than Zhu Biao's.

But in Zhu Biao's view, Chu Ze's ability should be more than what he said.

Since he is learning knowledge hundreds of years later, he is a person who stands on the "tower" built by future generations for hundreds of years.

It is very likely that the things that they reach out and touch at will are as far away as the stars in the sky to their predecessors.

So in Zhu Biao's view, he definitely has a way to deal with this matter.

It's just that the premise is to see if he is willing to speak.

"Since the crown prince has said so, then I, a waste, will show my shame..."

Chu Ze had no intention of rejecting Zhu Biao's kindness.

After he glanced sideways at Sapphire, he directly bit the word 'trash' very hard!
