Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 55
"These are trivial things. Anyone who helps the common people carry water and firewood, or honors their parents will know the rewards locally. There is no need to play anything like this."

Zhu Biao picked up the two stacks of papers next to him, looked at Li Shanchang and Song Lian and gave orders.

"Your Highness, you can't say that." Li Shan said long.

"Prime Minister Li, then how should Gu say this!"

Zhu Biao stared at him for a few breaths, his face was a little bad.When I was handling government affairs by myself these days, this old guy took it and pointed it out, and asked all the officials to come together.

"These old ministers can help His Highness deal with it." Li Shanchang said.

When Li Shanchang said this, Zhu Biao remembered that the drafting system implemented in the late Ming Dynasty was left to the cabinet to handle.That is to say, the memorials from all over the country, before being sent to the emperor for comment, will be written by the cabinet scholar on the paper and pasted on the opposite side of the memorials for reference by the emperor.

Later, all the memorials except military and state affairs were hand-printed by the supervisor of ceremonies, and the eunuchs wrote the eunuchs, and the eunuchs accompanied the hall to write them. According to the proposal of the cabinet draft, they copied them with the imperial ink pen.

Because of this, the eunuch Bingbi and the eunuch palm print are infinitely close to the imperial power.

Although Li Shanchang's prime minister is not as harmful to the country as the eunuch, he wants to intervene in Zhu Biao's affairs these days.

Zhu Biao continued to read the memorabilia, flipping through Li Shanchang at the bottom and suddenly said: "A few days ago, my minister heard that His Highness brought a lady of a lowly businessman into the palace."

For merchants, Li Shanchang still couldn't change his contempt in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao put down the memorandum he was reviewing, raised his head and said to the little eunuch next to him, "I want to see the Secretary of the Household Department."

Not long after he retired from the court, when he heard what the prince said, he immediately went after him.

"Prime Minister Li, I didn't expect you to care so much about Gu?"

Li Shanchang is not a fool, he immediately smiled and said: "Your Highness, before leaving, His Majesty once asked the old minister to assist His Highness, and the old minister was also for the good of His Royal Highness."

It's up to him to say, this Li Shanchang doesn't give him some prestige today, he always bullies himself by relying on the old and selling the old.

It's too stupid to directly question, and Zhu Biao won't do it, but accusing Sang and scolding Huai can be used to vent his anger.

Before Li Shanchang founded the country, he had a lot of hard work, and he had nothing to say except being cautious.

He was too narrow-minded today, and he was able to target him in this way only because of Shen Qiancheng's few treasures, and he had a heart for chopping up Li Bin himself.

The Ming Dynasty needed officials, and he didn't need to act indiscriminately. He could not distinguish between family affairs and state affairs, and he hated personal feelings.

"Your Highness, the Secretary of the Household Department has arrived."

"I pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Hubu Shangshu saluted and looked at Zhu Biao.

"Your household department is so courageous, bullying Gu and talking is useless, isn't it?"

Hubu Shangshu was slightly stunned, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, even if he had ten guts, he would not dare to forget the Crown Prince's words.

Hastily defended: "Your Highness, I don't understand what you mean."

"You want Gu to tell you again, right?" Zhu Biao said with a dark face.

Li Shanchang and Song Lian looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Households who was being scolded, and they didn't know what happened for a while.

"Your Highness, I dare not." The Minister of the Household Department replied.

"The matter of the Daming resident register, how did your household department do it? Do you want me to use you to indict the crime, or to use the household department servant Zhang Zhaohe to indict the crime? Tell me!"

This has obviously already started to be implemented. What happened to Your Highness today? The Minister of the Household Department guessed this matter in his heart, but he did not dare to slack off. All records have been checked.”

"Record verification? Tell me what is the significance of this Daming resident register."

"His Royal Highness, anyone who has a Daming resident record is a Daming resident, there is no household type restriction, everyone can be free, and there is no such thing as lowly status."

Zhu Biao put down the memorial and said: "It seems that the Ministry of Accounting is concerned about this matter, but just now Prime Minister Li said that the Shen family is a cheap merchant. I thought it was because your Ministry of Accounting did not promote it. It seems that I have misunderstood you."

"Your Highness is for the people, so how can you misunderstand me? It may be that Prime Minister Li was busy with political affairs and forgot for a while, which is understandable."

Hubu Shangshu knew that neither of these people could be offended. He subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead because of his decisiveness when he killed Li Bin.

Li Shanchang was taken aback for a while, then pondered for a while and said: "Your Highness, I was too busy to forget something and uttered obscenities. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Zhu Biao laughed loudly, walked up to Li Shanchang and said with a smile: "Hey, what did Prime Minister Li say? How can Gu punish you? You have worked hard and worked diligently for Daming. Since it was a misunderstanding, Gu also Just pretend you didn't hear it."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Shanchang heaved a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Song, Li Xiang, now that the Ming Dynasty was founded, all places are depressed, the people are displaced and cannot return to their homes in time, and they can't eat the food of loneliness.

Originally, I wanted the Academy of Science and Technology to develop a method to help the people cultivate high yields, but who would have thought that the army of the Northern Expedition would have no food, grass and money.The money Yangzhou needed was collected by the Shen family without any demur.

Think about it, everyone.Can a lonely person be an ungrateful person? "

Hubu Shangshu immediately flattered: "Your Highness is a man of love and righteousness for the people. We all see it for all to see. My lords, do you think so?"

"Yes, Your Highness Shengming."

"Your Highness is holy."

All the ministers were very satisfied and agreed with Zhu Biao's work. What he did since the founding of the country was obvious to all. He is a rare and wise prince.

Li Shanchang also said: "I think so too."

"Speaking of which, I would like to say one thing. It is easier for the court to collect taxes and encourage everyone to do business than to cultivate land. According to the profits of merchants from doing business, formulate corresponding taxes, and do not increase them casually.

Don't be too prejudiced against people who do business. "

Zhu Biao paused and said: "The common people have just resumed farming. Taxes should not be too much, and they should rest. Properly encourage business and improve the status of merchants, which is good for everyone.

If everyone does not agree to encourage the improvement of business, taxation should not allow everyone to use their own salaries, what do you think? "

Everyone looked at each other, if they did not agree to increase the number of merchants, and the people had just resumed farming and recuperating, they would definitely not pay too much, then they had to find a way...

By analogy, it is natural to agree with His Highness. Li Shanchang has always been ashamed of what happened just now, and now he is the most active to stand up and say:
"His Royal Highness is right, and I agree with it very much."

Song Lian has become Zhu Biao's loyal fan these days, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is smart, and the old minister thinks it is feasible."

Seeing that the prime minister had agreed, the others in the back all followed suit and agreed.

Zhu Biao strikes while the iron is hot and continues to deal with the next thing.

Song Lian said: "As for the first time in my dynasty to open a course to obtain a scholar, please express it clearly, Your Highness."

　Please recommend, please collect.The next chapter will be published as soon as it is revised.
