Listening to Queen Zhang's words, Zhu Houzhao could only smile helplessly, sighed and said: "The child is distressed today, which makes the queen mother worried!" ”

When Queen Zhang saw Zhu Houzhao's appearance, although she felt a little distressed in her heart, she still didn't add color, she was now a serious queen, a serious mother, she couldn't show distress, she had to be tough. Thinking of this, Empress Zhang said with a straight face: "Then let's talk about it, why is our emperor depressed." “

"In addition to today's school incident, the child has been accompanying his father to correct the question book these days and found some problems with Daming."

"For example, the salt administration, the salt law formulated by Emperor Taizu is very good, and it supports the northern frontier of the imperial court, whether it is Emperor Taizu's conquest of Mobei, or Emperor Taizong's conquest of Mobei, the court's finances are fine, and even when Taizong, the imperial court still has the financial resources to support the Three Treasures eunuch Zheng He to go to the West, but what is going on now? The world is still this world, the land under the world is increasing, the population is also increasing, why is the court running out of money? ”

"Not to mention anything else, just the father and the queen mother, they cut down on food and clothing every day, not to mention building a palace, they save money on food and clothing, but what about money?"

"Erchen knows that his father likes the silk clothes in Jiangnan the most, and they are cool and comfortable to wear, but his father even ordered this to stop, so as not to increase the burden on the people, but what about the money of the imperial court?" Zhu Houzhao said with a wry smile: "Speaking of salt politics alone, in the past, salt merchants sent grain to the north in exchange for salt introduction, and the Ming Dynasty relied on the salt administration to feed the border army in the north, and at the same time, the imperial court also had a large amount of income. ”

"Whatever you are afraid of, after the imperial court accepted the silver and opened the middle school, the imperial court increased the salt tax by more than one million yuan every year, but how much did the expenditure in northern Xinjiang increase? How much has the imperial court's investment in northern Xinjiang increased every year? Counted? ”

"Now the salt merchants have the idea of salt class again, once the salt class is exempted, then why does the imperial court still have to pay silver to open the middle school? How greedy are these salt merchants? How greedy are the nobles and relatives? The imperial court has issued more salt, and it is already in name only, and now it is going to reduce the salt tax, do you also want to pay the silver in name only? If Nayin Kaizhong also exists in name only, then the salt policy of the Ming Dynasty will be over. ”

"Without Yan Zheng's income, Daming's annual income will be at least thirty percent less, where will these thirty percent be made up? Will it increase the taxes of the people? ”

"Some openings can't be opened, once they are opened, then it's really over, this is the reason why the child has a bad attitude towards his uncle, in fact, the child is not aimed at the uncle, but against the relatives. The child checked, and a large part of the excess salt introduction issued by the imperial court was rewarded to the relatives. Now they're going to attack Na Yin again, are they really so short of money? Who encouraged my uncle to come to the palace to intercede? “

"Taking advantage of the family affection of the heavenly family in this way and using love for personal gain, these people should all be arrested and sent to the northwest to repair the walled city and go to Tuntian."

Queen Zhang looked at her son's angry appearance, and was a little panicked in her heart, her son's anger was so heavy, the key was that her son said a lot, and she didn't understand a word. I don't know what's going on. But I understand one thing, it seems that the salt government collapsed before, and a large part of the branch was because of Xun Qi, and the other is that his brother entered the palace this time, and he was simply instigated.

"Is my uncle short of money?" Zhu Houzhao turned his head to look at Empress Zhang, and asked with a serious face: "If you are really short of money, then do something else to make a living." ”

Hearing her son say this, Empress Zhang was also a little embarrassed, so she had to say: "Your uncle, you also know that if you are high or low, you can't do anything else." ”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a moment, what did he think? The dignified Shou Ninghou, when today's son-in-law, the queen's younger brother, and the prince's uncle, what kind of business can't be made? What can you do casually and not make a lot of money? Always staring at the salt administration, yes, the salt administration is making money, but can you make a lot of money? You are the second fool who was used as a gun by the salt merchant, Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a moment.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but think of another policy of the Ming Dynasty, that is, in order to avoid the dictatorship of relatives, the queens of the Ming Dynasty had to choose girls from ordinary families.

Although this policy avoided the dictatorship of foreign relatives, it led to the general low quality of foreign relatives, and the queen's pattern and vision were too small, which was very unfavorable to cultivating the next generation of heirs. The representative figure is his mother, and there is the Empress Dowager Li in the 10,000-year period, Zhu Houzhao touched his chin and wondered, can this clause be changed? There is also marrying a princess, which is also a blind choice, and the quality of the horse is poor.

The representative figure is still the Empress Dowager Li during the Wanli Emperor's period, look at what kind of concubine the Wanli Emperor's sister is looking for, it is not a matter of quality.

"Kid figure it out!" Zhu Hou looked at Empress Zhang, and said with a serious face: "After all, my uncle is the queen mother's mother's family, the relatives of the Ming Dynasty, this life is too shabby, people will say that the royal family is harsh on relatives, and the child will find a livelihood for his uncle, and ensure that his uncle will earn a lot." “

While talking, Zhu Houzhao pondered in his heart, and soon had a new idea, this thing has to be done well, if you don't do it, you can't do it.

After listening to her son's words, Empress Zhang nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, the emperor has a heart, your uncle has no ability, and it is naturally best for the emperor to be willing to help." ”

Zhu Houzhao was disdainful in his heart, his uncle not only has no ability, he is simply stupid, such a thing can be stumped, isn't it just to make money? As the uncle of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention making him a pot, at least he has to be rich. Thinking about filial piety all day long, thinking about getting some from the country, how much can you get?

Daming's treasury moved home, how many can you have? It may be better now, but at the time of Chongzhen, the money in the treasury was not even as much as that of big businessmen.

While the mother and son were gossiping, Zhu Youzhu came back from outside, with a little anger on his face, and the things on the school side also made him very angry, this is the army of the Ming Dynasty? Throw your real money into it, and end up with such a thing? What else can you expect from them? Zhu Youzhu directly issued an order to Ma Wensheng to investigate strictly, and all those found out will be severely punished.

Walking into Kunning Palace, Zhu Youzhu saw his wife and son chatting, and they were still talking and laughing, and Zhu Youzhu felt a lot better.

"Father!" Seeing Zhu Youzhu walking in from outside, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly saluted his father, and then said, "Father has worked hard today.

"That's it!" Zhu Youzhu waved his hand and said with a smile: "What are you mother and son talking about?" Talking and laughing? Speaking out makes me happy, and the province is not happy for the things ahead! As he spoke, he looked at the mother and son.
