Chapter 55: The Early Dynasty

Zhu Houzhao didn't know what to say about his father's hanging up, you said you didn't care, and put on a posture of watching the excitement, Zhu Houzhao didn't know how to complain.

Empress Zhang saw that Zhu Houzhao always looked at Zhu Youzhang, glanced back at Zhu Youzhang, and gave him a threatening look, then turned her head: "Went to your uncle's house?" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, there is nothing worth hiding about this matter, and I can't hide it, I am saying, this time I will do a good job.

Hearing this, Queen Zhang's face sank: "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhu Houzhao tried to fight his younger brother twice before, but Queen Zhang didn't say anything, because this is a national event, and she doesn't understand, besides, her son is the prince, and it's okay to beat and beat, but you can't always do this, right? Besides, this time I actually chased him home, how can this work?

"Go and talk to the two uncles about getting rich." Zhu Houzhao stood there and said very calmly: "Of course, I just made an idea, and I didn't promise my mother last time." ”

"I've also thought about it these days, the two uncles are royal relatives, and it's not appropriate to live too poorly, today I went to the Shouning Marquis Mansion, speaking of which, that mansion is really small. It seems that my uncle's family is not having a good time, so I gave some ideas and prepared to let them get some money. ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, Empress Zhang's expression eased a little, but she and Zhu Youzhu were a little embarrassed.

Shouninghou's mansion is still small? How big do you want to be in the house? Is it possible to give him the Forbidden City?

Although Zhu Houzhao doesn't know how the relatives of this era are, Zhu Houzhao knows that since the beginning of the Wanli period, the nobles and nobles of the Ming Dynasty and the wealthy businessmen and magnates have been popular in repairing gardens, but ordinary people still can't do it, the most famous is the grandfather's family of the Wanli Emperor, that is, the maiden family of the Empress Dowager Li, Li Wei, the Marquis of Wuqing.

This man built a large garden, which was also very famous in later generations, and it was called Tsinghua Garden.

"They are all relatives of the emperor and the country, and they have knighthoods, so they can take it with money, what do they want so much money for." Empress Zhang glanced at Zhu Youjiao, and then turned to her son and said, "What idea did you give them?" ”

"Don't say it, don't say it!" Zhu Houzhao shook his head, how insincere the old lady's words were: "But if this thing is done, then the uncle and they will be really rich, maybe they can still honor the palace a little, the father and the queen mother will wait to see the show!" ”

Looking at her son's proud appearance, Empress Zhang scolded with a smile: "Don't let your father clean up the mess for you when the time comes." ”

After having dinner in Kunning Palace, Zhu Houzhao was driven out again and returned to Xianyang Palace, where Zhu Houzhao packed up and went to sleep.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao got up early, and this morning he was going to go to the morning court. A few days ago, because of the inspection of the Beijing camp, Zhu Houzhao didn't go to the morning court for some days, and he has been avoiding the limelight, but it has been a while, and the limelight is almost over, and he can go out of the mountain.

Besides, I have to go and see what I arranged, and there have been no waves in the court, so maybe I can make a little waves this time.

Under Liu Jin's service, he put on his clothes, and after cleaning up, Zhu Houzhao came to Kunning Palace, and saw his father who walked out lightly, obviously his mother hadn't gotten up yet. Seeing this scene, Zhu Houzhao showed a smile on his face, it was really quite a warm feeling, Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear to disturb, and stood aside and watched quietly.

Walking to Zhu Houzhao's side, Zhu Youzhu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Are you willing to go to the early court?" ”

"You can't always be out of the limelight!" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "It's almost necessary to continue." ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded, then looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked, "You won't go to encourage Shou Ninghou, right?" Yan Zheng's affairs let him come out, and you are not afraid that he will not be able to bear it. ”

Shaking his head, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Father, don't worry!" I won't pit my uncle about them, besides, it's not like there is still my father to protect me, there is really something going on, and they are nothing serious. ”

"See what you can come up with!" Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhu Houzhao, shook his head and said with a smile.

The father and son left Kunning Palace together and went straight to Qianqing Palace, and when the two arrived here, the ministers had already entered the palace. In the shout of He Neng's "The Emperor arrived", Zhu Youzhu walked to the dragon chair from behind.

The ministers were stunned after seeing the salute, because they found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had been absent for a long time, had actually reappeared.

Since the last time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince performed martial arts during the tour of the Beijing camp, many people could not get off the stage without face, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not been to the early court for some days. I didn't expect it to come again today, is there something going on here? Although I was thinking about it in my heart, there was no change on my face.

Zhu Houzhao has long been familiar with the process of the early dynasty, basically nothing special, although the things discussed are not small, but they are all ordinary, nothing special.

"The Ministry of Ministers and Households has a book to play in the matter!"

Hearing this voice, everyone turned their heads to look over there, Zhu Houzhao was no exception, this Qi You was a thin man in his fifties, and he was standing there with a serious face at this time.

"Aiqing is coming!" Zhu Youzhu is not surprised, this is the early dynasty, it is not strange for someone to do something, but it would be strange if no one did.

"Your Majesty, today there are salt merchants begging to meet the salt class, the situation of salt occupation in various places is serious, the salt farms are corrupt and fraudulent, the salt merchants are shoddy, and they are seeking great profits, so please set up a salt and iron department to specialize in salt affairs, check the salt farms, and clean up the salt merchants. It has also been a few years since the imperial court opened the silver, and the salt increase class in the first year was 1,367,800 taels. ”

"Last year, the salt increase was 746,300 taels compared with the grain opening period, which was more than 600,000 taels less than the first year."

Qi You's words made everyone in the hall stunned, why did they go to Yanzheng? Originally, I didn't think there was anything, but as he spoke, the ministers' faces became serious, especially when Qi You broke out the income of the salt class, the minister knew that today's matter would not be good.

At the same time, many people are concerned about another direction, that is, the salt and iron division that Qi You said.

The name of the Salt and Iron Division is known to everyone in the Ming Dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty has never had such a yamen, but the Great Song Dynasty has it!

The Great Song Dynasty has three divisions, which are the collective name of the three divisions of the household department, the degree branch, and the salt and iron divisions, and at the same time set up three divisions to manage the three yamen, which are called the prime ministers, which can be said to be high-powered. Qi You wants the imperial court to set up a salt and iron division in the household department, and the three divisions are just one degree away, if the three divisions are complete, is it necessary to design the phase?

Even if you don't design the picture, do you have to find a university scholar in the cabinet to oversee it?
