Chapter 89 The emperor who reports to his son.Only one! [55 arrives today! 】

What was it like to ride a horse-drawn carriage in ancient times?
Hardwood wheels, plus the bluestone road that is not very smooth.

The way the horses move forward is not uniform.

Every time you take a step forward, the carriage will shake, not to mention, because there is no shock absorption, even the smallest bumps can be clearly transmitted to your body.

Every shake is a challenge to your stomach.

In the not so spacious carriage, Chu Ze's expression gradually turned ugly.

He got carsick!
"That... the journey is boring, everyone is kept silent! Let's talk more or less about something."

Looking at Zhu Di and Lan Yu, who were sitting opposite each other, staring at each other, the two of them didn't say a word after getting in the car.

Feeling more and more uncomfortable, Chu Ze tentatively opened his mouth to see if he could find some topics.

Just sitting like this, the more he sat, the more he couldn't bear it.

If he doesn't find something to distract his attention, he feels like he will vomit in a while
"Sir, that's right! The journey is boring, and it's so boring if you don't say something."

After Zhu Di heard Chu Ze speak and broke the silence first, Zhu Di also took the topic along with the trend.

And Sapphire, who was slow to speak, could only open her mouth, but no sound came out.

"You better not call me Mr. We are about the same age, you call me that, it makes me feel uncomfortable."

"That's fine, why don't we just call him by his first name in the future?"

"also."

I wanted to find something to talk about, so as to distract myself and make myself feel more comfortable when I am a little motion sick.

But just after Chu Ze spoke a few words, the carriage seemed to be crushed by something.

After a jolt, Chu Ze's face gradually turned pale.

"Yongle, if you have a chance in the future, fight towards the west or south. If it doesn't work, you'd better not choose a fief yourself. I'll help you choose one, and you can go all the way."

"You go to the Southeast Asia in the south, it's better to go to the tropics, and then I'll find a way to get your brother to find someone to get some rubber trees...uh..."

While Chu Ze was speaking, a strong nausea rushed into his forehead.

Before he finished speaking, he retched directly.

"Chu Ze...what's the matter with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Why is your face so ugly?"

Seeing Chu Ze who suddenly retched while talking, Zhu Di and Lan Yu who were sitting next to him suddenly became nervous.

It was only at this moment that the two noticed that Chu Ze's face had turned pale.

"I'm not used to riding in a carriage. The bumps make me want to vomit."

Chu Ze tried his best to take a few deep breaths, and after gradually calming down the feeling of vomiting, he turned his head and said to Zhu Di again.

"After we conquer Southeast Asia in the future, the climate there will be good. Rice can be harvested three or four times a year, and rubber trees can be planted. At that time, a layer of rubber tires will be put on the carriage. It's so dry and heavy that it shakes too much."

"Southeast Asia? What exactly is it? I've never heard of this place name."

When Chu Ze said that he felt nauseous just because he was not used to the carriage, Zhu Di and Lan Yu looked a little better.

As long as Chu Ze is not uncomfortable, then it is easy to say anything.

As soon as this other person left the palace, he suddenly went halfway.

Then the two of them will be in big trouble.

After the tension in his heart dissipated, Zhu Di couldn't help being a little curious about the Southeast Asia that Chu Ze was talking about.

"Is there such a place in the world where rice can be harvested three or four times a year? Is it because their rice seeds are different? Can we introduce it to Daming for planting?"

"By the way, I actually wanted to ask this morning. Chu Ze, how much do you know about the overseas world? I've always been curious about what's overseas."

"."

"Hey, why don't you talk anymore?"

"."

"No.. You don't really want to throw up, do you? Stop, stop, stop quickly!"

"Hey, slow down, don't fall, if you really can't, you'll be fine in the car."

In the palace compound.

While Zhu Di and Lan Yu were in a hurry to take care of Chu Ze who was motion sick.

After bidding farewell to Chu Ze and the others, Zhu Biao originally planned to return to the East Palace to continue handling government affairs, but just as he stepped into the palace again, he was stopped by the two tigers beside his father.

And then, he was directly led to his mother's bedroom.

"The sons and ministers pay homage to the father and mother."

As soon as he stepped into the hall, Zhu Biao saw Empress Ma who was doing needlework, and Zhu Yuanzhang who was sitting aside and watching a memorial.

"Biao'er is here! Has that kid been sent out of the palace? Is everything going well?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still looking at the book in his hand with great interest, put down the things in his hand after hearing Zhu Biao's voice.

Then he raised his head and nodded to Zhu Biao with a smile.

"Come on, sit down first."

Although they started asking questions when they met, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mean to let Zhu Biao stand up and answer.

Instead, he took the lead in beckoning his son to sit beside him.

It was so kind, as if the father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time.

After seeing his attitude, Empress Ma just smiled and shook her head.

"The person was sent out. After that, I will let the fourth son and Lan Yu arrange it."

"The fourth child is quick and reliable in handling things, and he is still a calm person. I think there will be no problems."

Zhu Biao has long been used to facing his enthusiastic father.

In private, he and Lao Zhu get along more like a father and son than a monarch.

"Well, it's good that the arrangements are in order. In the past two days, we finally found the cow infected with smallpox. The cowpox is a clue, but how to use cowpox to prevent smallpox, it will take some time to try."

"But I believe that there should be news from the sky prison soon."

After Zhu Biao sat down, Lao Zhu listened to his arrangement and just nodded silently.

Then he skipped this topic directly and started reporting work with his son.

"As for the salary of the courtiers, we think it should not be raised too high! The awards you gave us last time. The amount is not appropriate. We think it should be less. You see...remove How about sixty percent?"

"Ah? If [-]% is removed, this is too little. Since they are all awards, they are officials who are sincerely working hard. If [-]% is removed, it will not be much different from the beginning Yet?"

"Father, this matter is not feasible. Absolutely not feasible!"

Originally, Zhu Biao was quite happy when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned that the attempt of vaccinia vaccination had already taken shape.

He even nodded subconsciously.

In that way, he acted as if he was the emperor.

And Lao Zhu also behaved very naturally towards his son's actions.

I didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all.

However, when he heard Lao Zhu's proposal to directly reduce the amount of the official reward system he had set by himself by [-]%.

Zhu Biao quit immediately.

"Father, the main purpose of our drawing up this reward system is to solve the problem that the ministers and workers are not paid enough, so some of them are forced to embezzle."

"The starting point itself is to encourage those ministers who can do practical things and can sincerely serve the people."

"The salaries given by the imperial court are superfluous. They only need to sincerely serve the people and think about the imperial court. Then these people can not only gain the reputation of being clean and honest, but also protect their families from worrying about food and clothing."

"The amount of rewards previously formulated is actually completely within the range acceptable to the government."

"Since it is a reward, I believe that it should not be too stingy. Otherwise, it will not achieve the effect of encouraging integrity, and it will appear that the court is stingy."

"That's why I feel that this amount cannot be changed, and it cannot be reduced at all!"

Although Lao Zhu was always cheerful at this time, he looked as if he was chatting with his son about family matters.

But Zhu Biao was completely opposite to him.

Zhu Biao knew exactly what his father thought.

After all, his father had a natural hostility towards courtiers.

Even if he is the emperor now, he is the biggest official in the whole world.

He also remained hostile to officials.

In the end, I just don't want to see these officials living too comfortably.

That's why it was proposed to reduce the amount of various reward systems proposed by Zhu Biao.

On this point, Zhu Biao would never agree.

As a king, as a ruler.

When making a decision, it should not be based on personal preferences.

"Okay, okay, let's listen to you, why don't we listen to you!"

After seeing Zhu Biao's serious face and wanting to explain the truth to himself, Zhu Yuanzhang could only give up on the proposal just now.

In fact, Zhu Biao's guess was correct. Lao Zhu simply felt that the treatment his son had given was too good, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Or from the very beginning, he didn't expect Zhu Biao to agree to his proposal.

It's just an attitude of trying, in case the son agrees!

"Then the problems of smallpox prevention and the treatment of ministers and workers have been basically solved. The rest of the matter has not yet been decided."

"But you can take a look at this! This is the memorial book that the fourth son sent today. This kid has a heart! The memorial is beautifully written, very beautifully written!"

"He doesn't hide his ambition at all!"

After the things that should be reported were almost reported, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the memorial book on the table.

While sighing, he handed the memorial book to Zhu Biao.

Speaking of which, Zhu Biao's status is considered the most peculiar in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Although he is the prince, all memorials must be sent to him first.

After he finished his review, he would send it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

As for some decisions, Lao Zhu will only release them after getting Zhu Biao's approval.

To say that there are two emperors in one dynasty is not peacekeeping at all.

After Zhu Di heard that the memorial was sent by the fourth Zhu Di, he also temporarily slowed down his mind.

Somewhat curiously, he took the memorandum handed over by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Di had a lot of contact with Chu Ze, which Zhu Biao naturally knew.

Even sometimes, he deliberately guided it.

So when he heard the memorial sent by Zhu Di, he was more looking forward to it.

Looking forward to what changes will happen after Zhu Di and Chu Ze come into contact.

And when Zhu Biao opened the memorial book in his hand, his eyes gradually became sharper.

"It's a good one to be crowned king!"
