"Salt was originally used as food for the border army, but now it has become convertible with cash, which is not conducive to the stability of the imperial border, and once the war starts, the shortage of grain and grass can be imagined!" Zhu Houzhao deeply believes that this is an undesirable thing.

"From this point of view, the strategy of exchanging grain for salt set by Emperor Taizu is the best policy, but there must be a reason for this, if there is no shortage of silver, who will change this strategy?" Zhu Houzhao muttered to himself.

But why didn't these courtiers want to make the court rich? Is it difficult to only change the salt to cash from the strategy? This is obviously a disastrous practice, although it can allow the court to harvest a large amount of cash and increase the amount of silver, but who can see what is sacrificed? Silver is not a necessity of life, and you can play a price war, but it is not good to have one less food, it will be stored for operation, not to mention that many of these grains are to be sent to the border gates! Zhu Houzhao thought about it and felt that this matter was undoubtedly a mistake and needed to be corrected.

In order to prevent himself from making mistakes, Zhu Houzhao deliberately watched it several times and felt that this was a matter that had to be solved. Silver can come from other places, but the fact that salt can be exchanged for cash is not possible, which is undoubtedly fatal in the long run.

Zhu Houzhao repeatedly confirmed that he was right, so he had to set things right. So, Zhu Houzhao strode towards the Qianqing Palace, and he wanted to discuss it with his father, Emperor Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youjiao.

Zhu Houzhao thought about some words as he walked, he was afraid that he would forget his thoughts when he arrived at the Qianqing Palace for a while, so he had to prepare some words first, and only when he had more vocabulary could he fight his father.

The young man is high-spirited, and he acts vigorously and resolutely, and it is not too late to make amends.

Zhu Houzhao walked to the Qianqing Palace, and the eunuch went in to report!

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down."

"Oh? It's only been a few days since I came back, what are you looking for me, let him in! Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu said.

"Erchen has seen his father!" Zhu Houzhao saluted.

"What, what's the matter?" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu put down the book in his hand and looked at Zhu Houzhao and said.

"Father, the son wants to ask his father about it, do you want to correct it in time if you do something wrong, some things are known to be wrong, is it shameful to do it!" Zhu Houzhao said.

"Do you have something to say? Tell me what's going on! Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu said.

"Erchen wants to discuss with his father about the fact that salt has been exchanged for cash from the original grain exchange to cash, but doesn't my father think it's a wrong thing? Although it seems that the financial revenue of the imperial court has increased, many salt merchants have moved their families to the interior, so how can they ensure the supply and demand of grain and grass in the frontier? Before, Erchen felt that Daming lacked horses, but now it seems that there is more than a lack of horses! Zhu Houzhao was very excited, because when he was young, he was willing to use his energy to study national affairs, but when he found that the prosperous era under the rule of his father was actually full of loopholes, he couldn't help but burst out of his inner emotions.

"Emperor, you're so excited now! You need to calm down! Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu saw that Zhu Houzhao was out of control, but he did not scold him, but chose to comfort him. Because there are so many things like this, it is inevitable that he will be a little emotionally out of control when he first comes into contact, but this also reflects that he is constantly growing.

"The court is short of money, so can't the courtiers think of other ways to earn more money?" When this sentence blurted out, Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized that the ministers in the court were all imperial examinations, and they would govern the country with the way of a sage, but did the sage talk about how to make more silver?

Zhu Houzhao felt that this was a problem, but this did not affect him to continue to vent, "Erchen wants to let the post station be used exclusively by the imperial court and become shared by the government and the people, and they can also earn money, but they don't know what to think like this?" ”

However, at this time, Zhu Houzhao suddenly remembered the two prompt words that appeared on the small blackboard before: civil official!

These seem to be closely connected, and they seem to be unsolvable problems, but are they really unsolvable?

"Erchen felt that since the change of Tumubao, this military general was speechless, and let the civil officials say all this. Can these issues related to grain and grass at the border also be ignored? If war breaks out again one day, and the food and grass are not ready, what will be used to fight? I'm afraid that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will not die on the battlefield, but on the battlefield! Zhu Houzhao said angrily.

"Zhao'er!" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youjiao's face was a little ugly, and his tone was lower, "These things are not as simple as you think, and the expenses of the imperial court also need silver!" ”

"Really? Why didn't the previous emperors change this salt introduction system, and when they got to their father, they didn't have enough money, right? The father and the emperor are in the harem, but there is only one mother, where is the money? Zhu Houzhao asked.

"Zhao'er, you should calm down!" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Zhu Houzhao, who was thunderous.

"Then dare to ask my father, has the will that he promised to give to his two uncles yesterday already given to them?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"Not yet, this will is still here!"

"Father, you are not allowed to give them to them! They have taken enough benefits from their father, and the father should take back his will. Zhu Hou said righteously.

"But I have already promised your mother, although the will has not yet come down, but your two uncles probably already know!" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhu Houzhao's angry appearance and was a little distressed.

"Then don't give it to them, I don't think they have that much face! What if the father agreed to the mother. Zhu Houzhao paused and said a shocking sentence, "My father agreed, but my son didn't!" ”

"Zhu Houzhao!" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youjiao's face was a little unbearable, and his tone became heavy.

Zhu Houzhao also realized at this time that what he said was too heavy, but so what, Wei Zheng and his courtiers were outspoken, and what was he afraid of as the only son of his father. I, Zhu Houzhao just don't accept it!

"On the queen mother's side, the sons and daughters will go back and say! The Emperor will not allow them! The royal family is not a bottomless rice bowl, and it is not their turn to eat it again and again! Zhu Houzhao raised his head and said, "Erchen retires!" The son wants to talk to the queen mother! I had a lot of collisions with my father just now, and I ask my father to forgive me, my son is not filial! ”

Zhu Houzhao's roar in the Qianqing Palace frightened a group of eunuchs, and when Zhu Houzhao walked out of the Qianqing Palace and arrived at the Kunning Palace, Liu Jin's legs and stomach were still trembling, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was too presumptuous!
