Chapter 232: It's Time

For any country, money is always a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

Whether it is in later generations or in the current Ming Dynasty, this is a problem that must be solved, especially yourself.

I have done so many things and made a lot of layouts, some of which have just begun to be implemented, and it is absolutely impossible to support them without enough money, so I must find a way to make money.

I was also trying to make money before, and I used a lot of means, but the fact is that there are too many places to spend money, although the ways and methods of making money can be supported, but it takes time.

But what I lack most is time, and this method is too slow for me, so I need a new method.

Reaching out and taking the pen and paper from the side, Zhu Houzhao began to write and draw on it, he needed to carry out a new plan.

For the ministers of the court, this period was not very peaceful.

First, the case of assassinating the emperor broke out, although the news was not exposed at first, but now at this time it is impossible to hide, and many important ministers in the court already know about it.

Qin Yong, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, has been disposed of, and His Majesty did not embarrass him, but just asked him to dismiss and go home. For many ministers, this is actually an extrajudicial favor.

Although the matter has slowly subsided, everyone knows that the truth of the matter has not yet been discovered. And it also involved more serious things, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are still investigating.

In addition to this incident, the court is not very stable. Some people are starting to move, such as Qi You, the head of the household department, and Liu Qi, the head of the household department, who is in charge of the salt and iron division.

Originally, everyone thought that after the two people arrived at the household department, they would pinch each other even if they didn't turn against each other, after all, the two people were in the position of superiors and subordinates, and at the same time it was still a competitive relationship, and the two people should be suspicious of each other.

But this kind of thing didn't happen, which surprised everyone.

You have to know how Qi You got to the top in the first place?

That's because he attacked the original Tobe Shangshu and directly got his old boss down. Wouldn't he be wary of Liu Qi giving him such a hand?

But in fact, he and Liu Qi actually trust each other, and these two people are now going to do things together.

In addition to the two of them, there was also something going on on the side of the capital lords and xunqi, that is, about their sale of illicit salt.

This case broke out very strangely, no one knows what the inside story is, but they only know that it was a homicide case at the beginning, and it was a matter done by Shuntianfu.

Originally, it was not that Shuntianfu wanted to investigate this case, but that Shuntianfu wanted to use this case to embarrass the six doors, or to make the six doors retreat.

At that time, there were still many people who sweated for Yin Linpan of Shuntian Mansion. After all, the yamen of the six doors was made by His Royal Highness the Prince, and everyone knows very well what is going on.

The resistance of the civil officials to this yamen is very serious, but no one dares to do it head-on. But what no one expected, Yin Linpan of Shuntian Mansion did it.

Originally, everyone was still waiting to see the excitement, wanting to see what the final outcome of the matter would be, and whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would get Lin Pan down.

But who thought that things would change sharply, and the case suddenly took a big turn, and there was also a private salt case, which involved the British government.

Everyone knows about this, because the people in the British public family have been arrested. It is said that the nephew of the British Duke was arrested because he was involved in this case of selling illicit salt.

The Zhou family related to the murder case, the whole family was directly arrested by Six Doors.

The case was in an uproar all day long, and many people began to panic. This case is a scourge when it makes a fuss, and it is impossible to involve only one family, and there must be a very large number of people involved.

However, there are still many people who are not involved in this matter, and for them, it is not their business, and they hang high.

However, there is one thing that has come out, that is, Wang Shouren won another battle in the northwest, and this time he also successfully opened up trade routes. It is said that His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are very happy.

At the same time, there is another news, that is, His Majesty is going to recruit new people into the cabinet.

At this juncture, everyone thought of one person, and this person was Wang Hua.

Wang Hua was born in the Hanlin Academy, and now although he has not done anything for His Royal Highness the Prince, he is basically a person of His Royal Highness the Prince.

This may be His Majesty's reward for Wang Shouren, so although many people were surprised, it was not unexpected.

It's just that there are some people in front of Wang Shouren, or people who are also qualified to enter the cabinet, and they are inevitably dissatisfied in their hearts.

All of a sudden, chaos began to rise in the court again, and there were many twists and turns in the impeachment of Wang Hua.

For a time, there was a miasma of smoke in the court.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhu looked at the folds in front of him, the expression on his face was not very good-looking, and he thought of his son again.

These things were actually done by his son, and now that he has gone to pat his ass and leave, he has left it all to himself, how can he not be angry?

Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't know what his father thought, and if he knew, he wouldn't have sent it to the door.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." Yang Peng stood beside Zhu Youzhu and said cautiously.

He knew that His Majesty was not in a good mood, and at the same time, he knew why His Majesty was in a bad mood, and he was worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

"Let him in." Zhu Youxian said expressionlessly, he wanted to see what his son was doing again.

Zhu Houzhao quickly walked away from the outside, and now respectfully saluted his father and said, "The son sees his father." ”

"Excuse me!" Zhu Youzhu waved his hand casually, and then said, "Look at the good things you provoked." The court is now in a lot of noise, the civil officials are fighting hard, and the nobles and relatives are panicking. ”

"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." Zhu Houzhao said expressionlessly: "If they don't have ghosts in their hearts, why worry? ”

Glaring at his son, Zhu Youzhu said angrily: "You have said all the good things, and you have done all the things, but the trouble has been left to me, and you are embarrassed." Is this what you should do as a son? ”

Zhu Hou looked at his father, a little helpless, has he been holding back for too long? Looks very dissatisfied with himself.

But he also knows the reason why Daddy is so atmospheric, Daddy is the most troublesome, he likes to do things and mud, and now he has done so many things, he is naturally unhappy in his heart.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't care, his father was just complaining to himself.

If you really let him care, he won't do that.

"Father, these things are still done as they should be done, and some people are really going too far. But the father and emperor don't have to worry about the six doors, the son will take care of it. Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

This is his promise to his father, the meaning is very simple, no one will harass his father again.

In fact, the progress on the six doors is very fast, and some things have already been found. As long as such a case is discovered and someone is caught, people will inevitably be caught.

Now that the Zhou family's body has been checked, it is enough to follow his family to check it back. Who provides guaranteed delivery on the road? Who are the suppliers of raw materials? Who took bribes to help them? As long as you want to check, you can definitely check it clearly. Do you want to check it out for yourself now?

Of course I want to. It's not about money or anything else, it's about some nobles who have forgotten something.

Nodding slightly, Zhu Youzhu still believed in his son's assurance.

Ever since his son came out to do things, there has been nothing he has failed to do. Now that he said so, that's naturally what happened.

As for the cabinet matter, Zhu Youzhu didn't say anything more, because he was not ready to let his son get started with this matter.

In addition, he has promised his son to let Wang Hua enter the cabinet. This matter has been discussed by the father and son, and even if there are some things, he can handle them, and he still has this confidence.

It's just that there is some irritability in my heart, and I don't feel happy if I don't say a few words to my son. If you have to paraphrase a sentence from later generations, it is to beat a child on a rainy day, and idleness is idleness.

There is another sentence that can also be described, if you don't have a child for fun, then why give birth?

For him. If the son is not used to vent his anger, then what else does the son do? So he didn't have any psychological burden at all.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care, he had already figured out his father's character, so he didn't say anything.

"What are you doing today?" Zhu Youzhu looked at his son and asked expressionlessly.

He still cares if there is something wrong with his son, he has already said it before, so that matter is over.

He is a loving father again, so he wants to know if his son has any urgent matters that he needs to solve by himself.

Zhu Houzhao took out a notebook, and then respectfully handed it to his father, and then said: "Father, the son was born for this matter. ”

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao stepped aside, with no expression on his face, quietly waiting for his father to watch the twists and turns.

Reaching out to his son, he picked it up, Zhu Youzhu looked at it quickly, and then said with some hesitation: "Are you sure you want to do this?" Is it really about time? ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "Erchen feels that the time is ripe, and now is the time for the imperial court to use money, and it is also beneficial to do so, so we should push it down." ”

Zhu Youzhu was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "I'm afraid it will cause an uproar." ”

"It's something that can't be helped, some things have to be done." Zhu Houzhao said in a firm tone.

Looking at his son's determined expression, Zhu Youzhu nodded, and then said, "Since you have decided to do it, then you can do it yourself, I'm afraid I won't help you too much." You have to think about it, once you start it, you won't be able to stop. ”

"I'm ready." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Erchen has been preparing for this day. ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded, and then said, "It's good that you're ready." ”

"Then if there is nothing else, Erchen will leave," Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything more, he knew that it was useless to say anything now, and the rest was to see how to do it.

Zhu Youzhu nodded, and then said, "You go." ”

Zhu Houzhao turned around and walked outside, with firm steps and a resolute expression.

Glancing back at his son's son's recital, Zhu Youzhu sighed again.

The content of that recital is very simple, and there are not many things written, but it is something that shocks the world.

The son wants the tax department to take over the world's taxation, to put it bluntly, the son wants the tax department to collect taxes, and this matter is really big.

As soon as the tax department starts collecting taxes, then a new problem will be raised, and the land in the world will be re-inventoried. How big of a wave will this make?

It was a big deal, both for the magistrate and for the local gentry. Completely rip the flesh from them, how much land is hidden underneath? In fact, it can be deduced.

In addition, the source of the embezzlement of money by the magistrates is basically in taxes. If this power of theirs is taken away, they will have no way to make any more money, so how can they be happy?

In other words, after this policy is implemented, no one will be happy. Even ordinary people are the same, how they pay taxes or how they pay taxes, but the people who collect taxes have changed.

So this matter can only be pushed forward, even if it gives some benefits and makes ordinary people support it, it is not very meaningful. Because what came out was aimed at local officials and gentry.

The son had said this before, and he had always insisted on doing it, but Zhu Youzhu didn't expect that this day was coming. Although he was a little helpless in his heart, he also hoped that his son would do it at this time, at least he was still there, and at least he could do something for his son.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjiao's expression also became firm, if his son wants to do it, then let him do it, if there is anything, I will come. Although he told his son that he would not help him, he would never stand idly by.

After moving his body, Zhu Youzhu turned around and walked towards Kunning Palace. This is a big battle, and I need to take a good rest

After returning to Xianyang Palace, Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand and beckoned Liu Jin over.

"You go and send a message out, whether it is a noble or a relative, as long as it involves the sale of illicit salt, whoever is involved will hand it over, and the fine will be doubled for the amount of profit."

"If anyone doesn't do it, or let the six doors find out, it will be dealt with, and the punishment will not be granted, and the salt business will not be done in the future, and the grasslands in eastern and northwest Liaodong will not be done."

After listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Liu Jin suddenly mentioned that this punishment was really serious.

For the current nobles and relatives, if they get such a punishment, there is no way to live that day in an instant.

Liu Jin hurriedly said, "The slave maid will go." ”
