Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 49 Take it off
Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that he dug a hole and was buried by his mother. Originally, Zhu Houzhao had opinions and ideas about the salt administration, but he really wanted to solve it, but Zhu Houzhao didn't think of a perfect solution.Regarding the matter of the salt administration, all Zhu Houzhao wanted was to remind his father.

Originally, Nayin could still insist on opening the middle. Although this policy is the worst, it can at least get some money for the treasury.

It's just that my father was fooled by someone, and he was exempted from the salt class again, so this benefit is gone.Changing from Naliang Kaizhong to Nayin Kaizhong, and then starting salt-free classes from Nayin Kaizhong, it can be seen from these two things that my father, Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youtang, has poor economic acumen and can even Say no.

Being fooled from the beginning to the end, just knowing how to be frugal may also have something to do with his too much trust in the ethics of these civil servants.

The later Emperor Chongzhen also did this. He didn't realize the real face of these gentry ministers at all. He didn't expect that these guys could do anything without a limit, or that these people had no limit at all.But this is also normal, who let the emperor be taught by them?
Since ancient times, there are few male robbers and female prostitutes behind the high-sounding words?How could the prince who grew up in the palace realize these things.

Emperor Jiajing probably had a deep understanding of this, so in his eyes, there were no good people among the courtiers, only those who were suitable and usable, and went to another extreme.

Zhu Youtang was hit by Ye Qi right now, is that the case?Although I know it is true, but it still feels unreal, how could this be?It turns out that the policy for the imperial court was for personal gain. Where did all the sage books go?What are these people doing?
Anyway, in Zhu Houzhao's view, his father is well-bred, otherwise he would have scolded his mother a long time ago.

It is not uncommon for the Ye family to be ransacked on a criminal charge, and the whole family is dispatched to the northwest frontier. Anyway, Zhu Houzhao feels that if he has been deceived so much, he will definitely be punished even more ruthlessly.You must know that the emperor is a strange creature. It doesn't matter if you make some mistakes or embezzle a little money, but if you lie to him, hehe, unless you don't know, you'd better find a rope and hang yourself!

These few days Zhu Houzhao has been hiding from Zhu Youtang, who knows if the old man is holding back an evil fire in his heart.

This incident is caused by myself. If I don't like myself and get angry at myself, I have nowhere to cry.

It's just that there are some things you can hide from, and some things you can't hide from. Zhu Youtang sent He Neng to find Zhu Houzhao.Seeing He Neng's smiling face, Zhu Houzhao really wanted to punch him.It's just that Zhu Houzhao also knows, no way!Following He Neng to Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao saw the gloomy father.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao coming, Zhu Youtang said, "It's impossible for a gentleman to vent his anger on others. I didn't even pursue the Ye family. What are you hiding?"

Seeing that his thoughts had been exposed, Zhu Houzhao smiled a little embarrassedly, but he also knew that he was the heart of a villain and the heart of a gentleman.It's not unreasonable for my father to be called the Lord of Ren, the Lord of Zhongxing, just because of this kind of bearing, I probably won't be able to achieve it in my life.

"Although Ye Qi had selfish intentions, he solved some problems after all. What's more, I finally agreed to this matter."

Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao, sighed and said, "Zhaoer, you have to remember that if the emperor decides to implement anything, then don't blame the courtiers, they are just making suggestions, and you are the one who decides. Because this matter has dealt with the Ye family, what will the officials think?"

"People with bad intentions will use this to attack those ministers in charge. What will we do then? Will the ministers in charge dare to speak?"

"You can't let the emperor lose his trust in his courtiers just because of a Ye family. It's not worth it. Besides, an emperor who has no responsibility is unpopular. Who can say that Ye Qi did it on purpose? Even if he did it on purpose, is there any evidence? Everyone is dead, so it’s useless to say anything. If there is no evidence, then he didn’t mean it.”

"Under such circumstances, what do you make the other courtiers think? Which courtier has no selfish intentions? If it is really investigated, everyone will be in danger, and no one has done anything for the court."

"That's the end of this matter. Besides, the disposal of the Ye family is just for the emperor to vent his personal anger. Is it possible to remedy the matter of the salt government? You can't abolish the government for private reasons, and the emperor must remember this point. You have to do it, as a king, stand upright, if even the king of a country can't stand upright, why ask all the officials? How can you rule the world?"

Listening to Zhu Youtang's earnest words, Zhu Houzhao's expression gradually became serious, and finally said: "Yes, Father, I know that I am narrow-minded."

"People are like this. No one has selfish desires. What about the emperor? He also has emotions and desires. The important thing is not to let these things affect your judgment. The Ye family put it aside for now. It is not the top priority now. The top priority is the salt administration. These people are really like what you said, bribing officials, controlling the salt farms, embezzling salt profits, and buying officials, if they are ignored, they will definitely end up in trouble in the future!"

Of course Zhu Houzhao knows that the tail is too big to lose, and he will dress himself up in a high-sounding manner, and kill him endlessly.

The place where one's own children are trained will evolve into an academy in the future, and at the same time train officials under the banner. The most famous one is Donglin Academy.The sound of the wind and the rain, the sound of reading, the family and the state, the world, and the world care about everything. How many people have been inspired by this couplet? The progressives who destroyed the Ming Dynasty were called the "Donglin Party".

"Yes!" Zhu Houzhao nodded when he thought of this, but Daming's problem is not here, but business and government are inseparable.

Ordinary civilian businessmen want to do business, but there is no way to do business. If you don't have a government background, you don't even think about it. In addition, there are nobles and relatives involved, which is a troublesome matter.If you want to separate them, it is simply impossible. Officials are not allowed to do business. You go and check, and they are clean on the surface.

You can't let the relatives and family members of officials not be in business, right?Do you care about distant relatives?There is no way to do this.

"I still have to cut leeks!" Zhu Hou looked at his father, sighed for a while and said, "It's almost ripe."

After hearing what his son said, Zhu Youtang was slightly taken aback, cutting leeks?What do you mean, I don't understand!Can't help scolding angrily: "Speak, don't be yin and yang."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "It's actually simple, what can be done, the ones that can't be lost are just a few big merchants, just get rid of them."

　Continue to ask for collections, recommendations, all kinds of requests, begging all over the floor!
