"Knock on the point!" Zhu Houzhao didn't sleep well all night, and he took another night of class. However, although he doesn't know much about what SF Express is, what Yunda Express is, and what YTO Express is, he understands that this is the same as a post station.

After Zhu Houzhao got up, he wrote hard without wearing clothes, and then wrote three pages in a free manner, and he wanted to talk about all these things in today's political discussion, which is a great plan.

Wenhua Hall discusses politics.

"What is the prince's business today?" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu glanced at Zhu Houzhao.

"Erchen naturally has, and it is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people!"

"Oh, let's hear it!"

Everyone was shocked, because the last time they changed the land and returned to the river was a good idea, and they were looking forward to Zhu Houzhao's performance this time.

"Then the minister will be blunt!" Zhu Houzhao said, "Erchen suggested reforming the post station, so that it can bring wealth to more people and enrich the treasury." It can also avoid dangers such as robbery! Kill several birds with one stone! ”

"Are you saying that this can provide many people with opportunities to start a business, and it can also facilitate the people to send letters and goods, and it can also fill the treasury for me, which is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people?" Emperor Hongzhi said, "Then how should this be carried out?" ”

"Father, the son dares to ask you. Will anyone refuse to eat the imperial grain? Zhu Houzhao said.

"Naturally, not!" Emperor Hongzhi said directly.

"In that case, why don't you expand the role of the post station. And now that the four seas are peaceful, doesn't my father think that he should reform it? Zhu Houzhao thinks that it is very convenient to build a national chain of royal logistics, which is a good thing for all parties to benefit each other.

"Tell me what you think?" Emperor Hongzhi was very curious about how many novelties Zhu Houzhao still had in his mind.

"First of all, it is natural to expand the function of the post station. The post station was not limited to the exchange of letters between the government. Of course, the government, the royal family, and the common people must be separated. The so-called official post is the function of the original post station, responsible for the correspondence between the court and officials. This imperial post is the representative of the royal family, all the goods between the royal family are managed by the royal post, so that whether it is the local prince or the palace goods can be checked, each goods are recorded by the delivery record. Of course, the people are called civil mail, which is mainly divided into two parts, one part is the correspondence and the other part is the transportation of goods by merchants. Zhu Houzhao said.

"You go ahead and hear it." Emperor Hongzhi was very interested in what Zhu Houzhao said, and he didn't even take a sip of this tea when it was cold.

"Father, you think. The common people relied on the court and their father. The father annexed these dart games and the believers who traveled all over the world, and let them do things for their father. In this way, they have become government officials who eat the emperor's grain, and most people will flock to them. Because the emperor managed these people in a unified manner and distributed them to various places, so that when every letter and every goods arrived in one place, the person in charge of transportation in another place could arrange them quickly, which would also save time and be more efficient. Zhu Houzhao felt a little thirsty and took a sip of water.

Besides, it was agreed that it would be dispatched by the imperial court. In this way, every letter, every time the goods are transported, the father can collect a small profit from it. This little money is not a lot of money for ordinary people, but everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and the nine-story platform starts from the ground. Naturally, over time, this accumulated amount of silver is not a small amount! ”

"Moreover, if all the transportation is returned to the imperial court, a group of management personnel who urgently need to be replaced will be vacated, and the transportation personnel will be vacated. Therefore, in this way, some people can earn money to support their families, and it also shows the imperial grace of his father. What is even more difficult is that the father and emperor united these wealthy merchants and tied them closely to the post station, so that he could know how much business they bought and sold in a year, and how much silver they earned. Then this tax naturally can't be escaped, after all, it is remembered clearly in black and white. At this time, the father can use the post station to transport a large number of merchants at a preferential price, in order to show that the father is also wet with rain and dew to the merchants. Father, what do you think? Zhu Houzhao felt that this must have moved Emperor Hongzhi's heart.

"Okay, it's indeed a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people!" Emperor Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "But this matter has to be taken to the court tomorrow to discuss it!" ”

"Ahh Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised, this kind of thing has to be brought to the court again, it's really ......

Although Emperor Hongzhi felt that Zhu Houzhao's idea was very good, the logistics of the Ming Dynasty had also had the prototype of development, and the post office set up by the Hongwu Emperor was a great progress in the transportation of the Ming Dynasty, so that the transportation of goods had a special organization. Land transportation in the Ming Dynasty basically took the method of fixed point and relay. Therefore, in addition to undertaking the task of designating transportation routes at the station, the delivery station should also do a good job in the collection and distribution of sea and river transportation.

However, this post house is only for the official family, but Emperor Hongzhi considered that it would be good if this matter was really built according to Zhu Houzhao's words, but how much the demand for letters from the people was, and the amount of goods transported by merchants in a year were unknown. And if such a reform is made, it will undermine the original regulations. No matter how small an official is, it is also a piece of the pie, and if the reform is carried out, it will inevitably implicate the interests of many people, so this idea is good, but it is not something that can be done well by one's own holy decree.

"Father, isn't this a great thing! What are you waiting for? Zhu Houzhao looked puzzled, why did he hesitate to do this good thing, just let it go!

"What do you know, there are a lot of implications at this time, and Emperor Hongwu once set up a post station, if it is a big change, wouldn't it change the regulations established by the ancestors?" Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao.

"Father, you don't think you can rush it. It's better to carry out a pilot, find a place with a developed economy and more goods, and just try it in that place! If it's good, start it again, if it's not good, cancel it! Zhu Houzhao remembered the idea of piloting.

"This is good, the old minister thinks the prince's idea is good!" Li Dongyang took the lead in speaking out.

"The minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Prince's idea is too idealistic, and it is still not feasible, and there are many things that need to be prepared, and if something goes wrong, it will be difficult to do!" Mr. Yang voiced his concerns.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly remembered the name of Yang Tinghe that appeared on the small blackboard before, although he still didn't understand what it meant, but when the feast was gone, he must write Yang Tinghe in the small notebook.

"However, I feel that the development of each place is different, and this matter will be decided after the ministers of the court unanimously discuss it tomorrow morning. You two will go to the morning court tomorrow to see what the ministers think. Emperor Hongzhi said, "I'm tired, go back to the palace to rest." ”

"Congratulations to my father!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

After Emperor Hongzhi went away, Zhu Houzhao began to complain.

"It's obviously a very good idea, but my father has to hesitate, I really don't understand! Liu Daban, don't you say? Zhu Houzhao wanted to find some recognition here in Zhu Houzhao.

"The slave thinks that His Majesty's concerns are very correct, the method is a good way, but there are too many things involved, and it is not something that can be solved by a holy decree!" Liu Jin said.

"Liu Daban, why are you facing your father! You are a member of this palace, you have to know a little bit about this palace! Zhu Houzhao took out a small notebook angrily.

"And we don't know how many letters the common people will send and how many goods the merchants will ship. Therefore, under all unknown circumstances, Your Majesty will not take risks, for a seemingly beautiful idea! At this time, Li Dongyang came over to teach Zhu Houzhao.

"Then there's no way? Master Li, since we don't know what their needs are, we can send someone to check! Those magistrates, don't you know it when you check it? Zhu Houzhao said.

"Is it really that simple? Think about it, if you were a magistrate, His Majesty said that you would carry out this project. Everyone in your area is a farmer, and no relatives from other places will send letters? But Your Majesty is very keen on this matter, will someone misrepresent this figure? Li Dongyang's words made Zhu Houzhao fall into thought.
