The rest of the people also echoed one after another, and it is impossible for those who can become second-class masters to be pedantic people, even if there are those with upright personalities, they will not be unreasonable and flexible.

Whether it is disaster relief or the need for troops in the north, the Ming Dynasty can still squeeze it out everywhere, and the consequences caused by this are far lower than the negative impact of the imperial court borrowing grain from the family merchants, which is why the Ming Dynasty has never thought about this matter when he is so poor.

Otherwise, as long as you have this idea, in the face of the imperial court family, the merchant is nothing more than fish and meat, not to mention more than a million stones, even two or three million stones.

Zhu Biao was just about to open his mouth to explain that borrowing grain was not the main purpose, but mainly to cultivate the trust of the scholars, farmers, businessmen and other strata in the imperial court, and that only with trust could they be shared and developed later, and that things such as national bonds, banks, banknotes, investment, etc., were bound to be advocated by the state at the beginning, but what was the use without the participation of all social strata?

This matter is to let everyone in the world know that as long as the imperial court can return this grain and grass within the time limit, not to mention that everyone can trust it, but at least it is a good start, and even if it is self-directed and self-acting in the future, this trust can be firmly established.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the most difficult thing in this matter is to convince the officials that Zhu Biao is just one person, he can't control things, so in the end, these things must be implemented by the officials, and if they don't cooperate, then there is no need to talk about anything.

Before Zhu Biao could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the throne, said directly in a deep voice: "Looking ahead and looking ahead, how can it become a big thing, this matter is for the prince to do, if anyone has any objections, let them say it tomorrow morning, but the matter has been decided, the food of the Jiangnan clan must be implemented in the hands of the people, let's give up the face of the court in exchange for the food, if anyone dares to reach out and wipe out the family, it will not be merciful!" ”

The people below reluctantly agreed, but they all knew that this must be His Royal Highness the Prince's idea, and his own saint has always paid attention to the rules in doing things, so it is impossible to have the idea of borrowing food at all, which shows how deep the influence of the prince on the saint is.

But this matter is only good for them, do they have a daughter who entered the harem and gave birth to a prince, and the country is stable, so they don't have to bet around in order to break the family from the dragon's work, they just need to serve this father and son well.

Zhu Biao saw that his father took over this matter directly, and his heart warmed for a while, although he is a virtuous and famous, but this kind of thing is inevitably criticized and criticized.

Zhu Yuanzhang is different, Emperor Taizu, who drove Hu Lu to restore his clothes and reopen the sun and moon and the new sky, is not something that anyone dares to say, in the face of his brilliant historical achievements, all the mistakes are just small sections, and no one is qualified to blame anything.

Otherwise, his methods of purging the rule of officials are much more cruel than those tyrants in history, but who dares to say anything more in later generations, even foreign kings such as Kang Qian will bow three times and bow nine times in front of the filial piety tomb.

Zhu Biao didn't stand up and say anything, time will prove everything, and the policies that seem bad today may not be able to shine in the future, and everyone will only praise the saint for being worthy of being a saint.

If Zhu Yuanzhang speaks, then no one can say anything more, at most, tomorrow morning, those imperial historians will go crazy, but in the end, their grade is not high, and it will be over if they cry a few words and hit a pillar, which is why Zhu Yuanzhang will always be used to them.

Since it is a foregone conclusion that there are more than one million stone of grain in plain white, the mood of the household book is becoming more and more beautiful, and his waist is bulging, he speaks hard, licks his face and asks, "Is this grain still needed?" ”

The faces of the rest of the people were also a little strange, both joy and a touch of shame for the windfall from heaven, and they were a little farther away from the Hubu Shangshu, but they looked at the prince longingly, hoping that the food would not have to be returned.

Zhu Biao shook his head with a smile, and before they could laugh, he said directly: "Of course, I have to pay it back, and I have to pay it off within three years and there must be interest." ”

Hubu Shangshu's face turned red all of a sudden: "No, they are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, the court borrowed their grain to give them face, where is there any interest, Your Highness don't worry, the minister will go and talk to them." ”

Zhu Biao looked helplessly at the Hubu Shangshu, this person Lao Zhu personally pulled up, upright but not pedantic, he has done very well in the local state capital, and the burden of the household department was handed over to him, and Lao Zhu was quite relieved.

Zhu Biao said: "Zhao Shangshu, the reputation of the court is very important, since it was discussed when borrowing grain, then it must not be reversed, otherwise it will be a loss to the wife and the army, and the court finances should be much more generous after three years." ”

Zhao Wenjing, the head of the household department, shook his head and said: "Your Highness, it's not that the minister is shameless, when there is not enough food everywhere in the world, the household department has been how much grain and how much porridge there is in the past few years, although the grain tax will be more in the next year, there will be more places to use." ”

Zhu Biao still said firmly: "Borrowing grain is to solve the urgent need, and the second is to establish the credibility of the imperial court, which is very important, the household department must make a good budget, this is particularly critical for the first time, there must be no negligence, and the palace will personally check it when the time comes." ”

Hubu Shangshu reluctantly agreed, he really didn't know what credibility the imperial court with the power of life and death needed, and it was better to feed the soldiers and the people and live a peaceful and stable life

Since the general matter has been decided, the rest of the details will be played again after they return home, Zhu Yuanzhang is too lazy to leave them for dinner, the order is not enough for the two of them to eat, and after the ministers retreated, they were about to pass the meal when they heard the report that the queen mother was coming.

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the back of the chair and smiled, he was too busy these days, and he always reviewed the recitals until late, so he never went to Kunning Palace, Zhu Biao hurriedly stood up and went outside to greet his mother.

When Zhu Biao walked out of the palace, he saw Queen Ma leading Yunjin over, and the palace maids behind him were carrying food boxes, Zhu Biao bowed and saluted and said with a smile: "It's just the right time for my mother to follow, and my son and father haven't had a meal." ”

Queen Ma approached and said, "It's important to get down to business, but you have to eat when you're done, otherwise you won't have the strength to deal with tomorrow's official business." ”

Zhu Biao smiled and followed in, Comrade Zhu was still sitting on the chair with the old god there, and Queen Ma entered the house and saluted: "The concubine has brought food to Your Majesty, and please give Your Majesty the importance of the dragon body." ”

Lao Zhu Haha waved his hand a few times to let the palace maids and eunuchs retreat, and then stood up and pulled his queen to sit down beside him: "It's still our sister who feels sorry for us, why did you come here when you were just hungry, we seem to smell the smell of baked cakes." ”

Zhu Biao opened the food box next to him, and it was the freshly baked baked baked cakes and duck blood soup, as well as a few dishes of side dishes and rice.
