"Yo, this foal is good!" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu touched the jujube red foal, this foal actually teased the hooves with Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youjiao, "It's a little wild, it looks good!" ”

"Shhh

"Yo, that's good! Not bad! Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu said, "Let's go, follow me to the warm pavilion." Let's have a good chat! ”

"The retainers obey!" Zhu Houzhao followed Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youjiao to the warm pavilion.

"There's no one here, you don't need those etiquettes, just sit down!" Emperor Hongzhi said, "I think what you said is still very thoughtful, let's discuss it with our father and son!" ”

"Zhao'er, do you know the system of raising horses on behalf of officials since Taizu in my dynasty?" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu said slowly, "How do you look at a thing? ”

"As the crown prince, Erchen naturally knows about the official horse raising of my dynasty. Erchen felt that there were pros and cons to these things, but with the development from Emperor Taigaozu to the present, Erchen felt that the disadvantages outweighed the advantages. Zhu Houzhao said his thoughts.

Zhu Houzhao doesn't learn anything, he doesn't have any skills, but for the military, this piece has always been a piece that he can't let go, and his interest drives the young Zhu Houzhao to understand it.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao still knows these things clearly. Therefore, many times Zhu Houzhao seems to be unfaithful and absurd, but in fact it is not, this is his mask. And now the direction of public opinion for the crown prince Zhu Houzhao has completely changed.

"Don't tire the people with horses, the country is people-oriented, if you wear out the people because of horses, it's not good governance." Erchen remembered that this was what Emperor Taigaozu said, "This official horse breeding is inefficient, and it can't raise good war horses." Therefore, the war horse was raised by the people. The family of the war horse will be exempted from some levies because of this! ”

There is an example of what Erchen knows, such as in the sixth year of Hongwu, "the people who raise horses, each horse is exempt from losing land rent of five stones", and in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, "the people of Fengyang, Yangzhou and Hezhou are ordered to raise an official horse, and the household is exempted from servitude." Zhu Houzhao paused.

Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youjiao's tutor class was stunned in place, this son studied Confucius and Mencius, drowsy, but these things can recite the original words backwards. It seems that the old saying is true, teach according to your aptitude, and it seems that it is time for me to make some changes for my son! No, it's for my precious son!

"But the exemption from taxation is not uniform, and there is no uniform provision. Without uniform regulations, the common people will think that the differences in the tax reduction and exemption of horse breeders between regions are embezzled by local parents and officials. Therefore, it will cause dissatisfaction, and dissatisfaction may cause negativity and sluggishness, so that you can't raise a good war horse! Zhu Houzhao continued to analyze.

"In the event of a disaster, the income from farming will not be able to make up for the official tax, and it will not be able to provide the needs of the households to raise horses. If a horse becomes ill or dies, it is not exempt from punishment by the government. and then caused the tragedy of family destruction and death. Zhu Houzhao continued to analyze, "And grazing is also a problem!" There will be oppression, exploitation, and so on! Therefore, what was originally beneficial to the country and the people made the people suffer! So now it seems that it will do more harm than good! ”

"That's right, but what do you think?" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu now feels that his son has grown up. Eh, it should be his baby son, and the word baby should be added!

"Erchen thinks that this war horse still has to be raised by officials! But now there is more demand for horses at the post station, so Erchen thinks that he can let the horse households raise the horses at the post station. The proportion of tax reduction and exemption is uniform, and the annual reward for raising horses is, of course, subject to a rating system. If the horse is abused and the horse is abolished, the tax reduction must be made up in several years. Zhu Houzhao said.

"Erchen always thinks that the eunuchs on errands in this palace still have any desires, they are in this deep palace all their lives, and the so-called money may need to open up some relationships a little, but which of the great eunuchs throughout the ages does not regard wealth as life. This shows that a little benefit can make people move towards the goal, but the punishment can make people negative. ”

"Erchen means that there is a punishment for everyone, and the idea is that you don't make mistakes, but it's different if you have a reward! Father, do you think that's the truth? Zhu Houzhao said.

"Indeed, I remember that when you first knew how to walk, you liked to be hugged by people, and as soon as I said that I would give you a piece of candy when you came over, you immediately came down and walked to me!" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu seems to remember what happened in Zhu Houzhao's childhood.

"That's it, my father and son are such a suggestion. War horses are not allowed to make mistakes, so the government should be raised, and the horses used in the post station can be raised by the people! But this matter should not be rushed, first do a good job in the reform of the horse household, so that they have confidence in the imperial court, have confidence in their father, and then step by step transfer the maintenance of the war horse to the government, and let the retired war horse be raised by the horse household. What does my father think? Zhu Houzhao said.

"Not bad! Not bad! I also know not to rush. According to your previous temperament, the designation is to do it in one go, and a whip down! Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu affirmed, and his heart was even more happy.

"Then since the father agreed with what the son said, then the son also asked the father to allow the son to go to the horse market to buy some good horses, and make plans for the cultivation of war horses." Zhu Houzhao said.

"No way!" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu took a sip of tea and said, "I'm very worried about your safety, so it's better to let the Jinyi Guard command Mu Bin and some people go with you." Remember to go back quickly, listen to Mu Bin for everything on the road, and don't make decisions without permission! ”

"Oh, Father! Can you finish speaking in one breath, Erchen still thinks you won't allow it! Zhu Houzhao patted his chest and said.

"Huh? Are you disgusted with me, are you disgusted with your father? Yes? Is this the attitude you should have as a prince? Is this the attitude you should have as a son towards a father? Is this your attitude towards the emperor as a human servant? What a disrespect! Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youjiao's series of soul-inspired tortures made Zhu Houzhao completely stupid.

"Erchen, Erchen didn't mean that! Father, you are angry! Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to apologize!

"Is it useful to apologize, I'm angry with you, is it useful to apologize? You don't mean that, could it be something else? Disappear in front of me! Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu snorted coldly.

"Then the father, what the father just said is still counted?" Zhu Houzhao asked weakly.

"What do you say?"

"The son is retired, and the emperor is resting!" Zhu Houzhao is really a little unacceptable in the face of his father's big change of face, this is his own father. Forget it, after all, it's your own father, so I'll put up with it! Endure for a while, calm and calm.
