Wang Yangming has never thought that his father Wang Hua can be in charge of the real power department of the imperial court, in his opinion, his father is a pedantic and dull person, not suitable for being an official, only suitable for learning, and even if he is doing learning, he can only follow the step-by-step process, and he can't become the kind of person who asks about universities.

But Wang Yangming didn't expect that his father Wang Hua would be appointed by His Majesty as the head of the household department, as far as he knew, his father didn't even know how many acres of land the family was, and it was naturally difficult to manage the household department of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after Wang Yangming went home, he sat in the Ming Hall and waited for his father to return home, so that he could give advice to his father, and wrote "Nine Things about Household Taxes, Money and Food".

When Wang Hua returned to the house, Wang Yangming hurriedly came to see his father: "Master, you are back, the child learned that you have moved to the head of the household, so I congratulate the master." ”

Wang Hua was also in a good mood when he was promoted to the head of the household, and only smiled faintly: "If it weren't for the fact that you were fooling around in the past and making trouble for me at every turn, and causing the government and the opposition to say that I Wang Hua had no way to teach my son, I wouldn't have been ranked in the second grade until now." ”

Wang Yangming saw that his father could arrange two sentences of his own two sentences even after he was promoted to the household secretary, and then said: "The lord will go to the position of the household secretary tomorrow, and the child has just watched politics in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household before, and has a little understanding of the affairs of the household department. ”

Wang Hua was very depressed about this, the fifteen-year-old emperor Zhu Houzhao instructed him how to govern the household, and he could not refute it as a courtier but could only accept it, but now that he went home, he had to be taught how to manage the household by his son, and Wang Hua couldn't help but be very angry for a while: "My father is not old and useless to the point where I need you to teach!" ”

"The lord doesn't have to be angry, the child is just a suggestion, the burden of the household book is heavy, the lord has to pay attention to the body in the future, in addition, I don't know if the lord can introduce the child to His Majesty, the child now wants to advise His Majesty about the frontier, the vassal king, and the river!"

Although Wang Yangming has passed the age of standing, he is still in a smooth career, he has never experienced setbacks, and his heart has not changed the problems of his youth, and he is still a simple character with a little eagerness to express.

When Wang Hua saw Wang Yangming like this, he thought of His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Houzhao he had just met, Wang Hua couldn't help but sigh for a while, and couldn't help pointing at Wang Yangming: "I really don't know if my Ming Dynasty is a blessing or a curse in your hands!" ”

Wang Hua snorted and didn't say anything, picked up the "Outline of Governing the Country" given to him by Zhu Houzhao and prepared to open it to take a look, after all, it was given by the emperor, but when he saw that the first sentence of the opening chapter was "The contradiction between the growing material and cultural needs of the people of the Ming Dynasty and the backward productive forces is the main problem of the current Ming Dynasty", he thought why the first sentence of the opening chapter was not to be lenient and support the people or something.

However, Wang Hua continued to read it, but when he saw that "thrift is thrifty, it will not be prosperous, and foreign plundering can make the whole people rich", he almost became angry, but finally endured it:

"Who taught Your Majesty these deviant words! The ministers of the East Palace can also be punished! ”

"Master, was this "Outline of Governance" written by His Majesty? The child didn't expect His Majesty to be so insightful and understanding of the Great Tomorrow, you see that the law of the historical cycle and the relationship between land annexation are very incisive, isn't it the meaning that the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it is rare for Your Majesty to analyze the reasons for this."

Wang Yangming stood on Wang Hua's side and looked at it seriously and said with relish, but he didn't notice that his father was already staring at him like a fierce wolf.

"What's this good stuff here, it's all demagogic dross! I don't know who taught His Majesty this, no matter what, the old man has to burn it, otherwise if it spreads, it will cause chaos in the world! ”

Wang Hua still didn't beat his married son, but yelled at Wang Yangming, and he was going to burn the book after yelling.

But Wang Yangming snatched the book over: "Master, this is a gift from the emperor, you can't burn it, give it to the child, and the child will keep it properly." ”

After Wang Yangming finished speaking, he took the book and ran back to the room.

Wang Yangming's wife laughed when she saw Wang Yangming coming back: "You're back, did you make the master angry again just now?" ”

"No, you go to sleep first, I have to stay up all night tonight to finish reading this book, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to see it tomorrow!" Wang Yangming put the wax table next to him and read it carefully, and Wang Yangming's wife sighed a little disappointed.

……

Zhu Houzhao did not know that his "Outline of Governance" had fallen into the hands of Wang Yangming, and he initially took the time to write these contents about governing the country just to give some help to the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty, after all, the civil officials of this era have been in the Four Books and Five Classics since elementary school, and all they can do is to use Confucian ethics to maintain social stability and order, and even rely on Confucian ethics to maintain social stability.

Otherwise, in many cases in ancient Chinese society, there would not have been a situation where the imperial power did not fall under the county, because the ancient Chinese government did not know how to manage the grassroots, and they could only rely on the clans formed by the Confucian ethical order to manage the grassroots for themselves.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want his Ming Dynasty officials to rely on the clan society formed by the gentry to manage the common people, he needed to give these officials some basic knowledge of government, at least let these officials know that they don't always think that saving government costs can make the world peaceful, and the people will want to eat well after they are full, and they must find a way to increase their income for the Ming Dynasty.

As for whether there will be chaos in the world or something, Zhu Houzhao also considered it, but he thought to himself that he was the emperor anyway, and no one dared to do anything to him, so he would bear the name of cynicism and deviance.

And the chaos in the world is nothing more than the bankruptcy of a large number of yeoman farmers, which leads to the destruction of the ruling foundation or the indiscriminate reform of the system to let the scholars re-support the new emperor, and it does not affect the common people to farm the land by letting go of their own ideas and speeches, nor does it change the system to deprive the scholars of the right to exploit the people, so naturally there is no need to worry about the chaos in the world.

While Zhu Houzhao was spreading the concept of governing the country, Xu Jing, the director of his chamberlain, had also begun to attract investment with the help of Liu Jin and Zhang Yong.

Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, is now angry, because his wife actually spent 60,000 taels of silver to buy a crystal lotus Guanyin from Emperor Zhu Houzhao.

But Liu Jian didn't directly scold his wife for being a loser, he only said angrily: "What about my wife, why do you say you spend money to buy this thing, I am also the first assistant of the four dynasties, and I just ask for any royal treasures if I want, and the old man doesn't believe that His Majesty dare not give it to the old man!" ”

"Why are you talking about this, you didn't know that Your Majesty had this treasure before, and we are not short of 60,000 taels", Liu Jian's wife cautiously bowed to the crystal lotus Guanyin.

"There is no shortage of silver, but didn't you do this to give the imperial historian a tongue and let them impeach the old man, now His Majesty is poor and sells royal treasures on the street, but my family of Shoufu can buy royal treasures at a high price of 60,000 yuan, what do you let others think", Liu Jian said speechlessly.

"What are you afraid of, it's not that you haven't been impeached by the imperial historians, you are now the first assistant, who can do anything to you, even if it is the newly enthroned majesty, he has to see if you have three points of face", this Liu Jian's wife said and said: "We don't have a grandson yet, this thing is useful to buy." ”

Liu Jian didn't speak, and at this time, a servant came to report that Xu Jing, the director of the chamberlain, was visiting, and Liu Jian naturally already knew that Xu Jing was a literati just recruited by His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Houzhao, so he also met with Xu Jing, the director of the chamberlain.

Xu Jing also made it clear that he came to raise shares, hoping that Liu Jian could contribute money to participate in the investment activities of the Royal Tax Bureau, Liu Jian only thought that His Majesty the Emperor was asking for money, and he didn't know what investment was, and even the first time he heard about it, he said directly:

"The old man has always been honest, there is really no surplus silver to participate in His Majesty's investment activities, even the 60,000 taels of the clumsy wattle flower is just his dowry, the old minister wanted to return it to His Majesty and could not bear to take away His Majesty's beloved things, but now since His Majesty needs silver, the 60,000 taels are the right to be offered by the minister."
