Chapter Seventy-Two: Preparations
Bai Fangrui sat in the car, looked at the poems in her hand, and looked at them for a long time, Bai Wangru on the opposite side looked at her sister's fascination, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Sister, this poem is a sad parting, and someone will definitely applaud it on the Qinhuai River, and Mu Gongzi said that it is not suitable for you." He also said that he would send you a better one. ”
Bai Fangrui looked up at her brother and said, "Brother, you don't know this poem, my sister dares to say that if you go to the poetry meeting of Qinhuai River, you will definitely take the lead." What is the identity of this wooden boy? What does my brother think? ”
Bai Fangrui knows her brother, although her brother doesn't like to read and can be said to be unlearned, but he is good at dancing with long sleeves and is very proficient in human affairs.
Bai Wangru's face changed, as if he had changed into a different person, and said, "Let's go home about this, it's inconvenient here." ”
"You mean?" Bai Fangrui pointed outside.
Bai Wangru nodded, his face a little gloomy.
......
Duanhonnomiya.
Lu Shi looked at Liu Zhen who was kneeling on the ground, and his face sank like water: "Liu Zhen, what you said is true?" ”
"Yes, the little ones don't dare to hide it."
"Okay, you go back, if Yun Wei asks, don't hide it. In addition, in the future, everything related to the Bai family, especially about Bai Fangrui, will be reported to me as soon as possible, understand? ”
"Yes, the little one understands."
Liu Zhen walked out of the princess's bedroom, a gust of cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver, and he was afraid for a while. The Lu family is modest, but his eyes do not rub sand, and he is a perfect match with the former prince, otherwise he would not be straightened by the side concubine and become an indisputable concubine. If she was angry at that time and killed herself with a rod, Taisun was a benevolent and filial person, and she would not dare to say anything.
When I walked into the courtyard of the grandson, I found the grandson sitting on a chair under the tree, and hurried to greet him. After a long time, I heard Zhu Yunwen say: "The mother concubine asked you about today's matter?" ”
"Yes, the little ones don't dare to hide it."
Zhu Yunwen sighed and said, "It's not your fault, what the mother concubine wants to know, Lone can't hide it." What is the mother's reaction? ”
"The little one doesn't know, but let the little one report the Bai family, especially Miss Bai's affairs, to the crown princess as soon as possible."
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "You get up, go on an errand as usual, you go to find Yuxin, the head of the household, and say that you have something to find him." ”
"Yes."
Because it was already dark and Yu Xin had already gone home, Liu Zhen rode to his mansion after leaving the palace. When he arrived, Yu Xin was eating, but when he heard that the grandson was looking for him, he hurriedly ate a few bites, sat in a sedan chair, and came to Duanben Palace.
Zhu Yunwen met Yu Xin in his study, and when he saw Yu Xin's appearance, he felt a little embarrassed, Yu Xin was in his fifties, and his perennial hard work made him look more and more old, so he asked Liu Zhen to bring some snacks, melons and fruits, and refreshments, and let Yu Xin eat some first. Yu Xin took a few bites and put it down: "Your Highness, call the old minister, what do you have to say?" ”
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said: "That's the case, I want to set up a bank, and I hope to find a few talents from the household department, so I will discuss it with Yu Shangshu." ”
Yu Xin sat upright and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean by bank?" Xia Guan didn't understand. ”
Zhu Yunwen explained to him, and Yu Xin understood that he asked the household department to send someone to help Zhan Shiyuan manage a sum of money, about more than 100,000 taels of silver, and couldn't help but become interested: "Your Highness, where did all this money come from?" ”
"Well, the engineering college made some things, and I got the money when I sold them."
"Your Highness, silver tickets are not a new thing, Song, Jin, Yuan, including this dynasty, they are all good in the early stage, but once there is a problem, no one will use it."
"Lone understands this, so the scale of Lone's bank is very small, so let's explore it first and expand it slowly."
After Yu Xin heard this, he thought about it for a while, and felt that this thing was not interesting, it was just a small organization under the Zhan Shifu, and the grade was not known yet, so he muttered for a while, and said: "Since the scale is very small, the lower officials think that only one scribe who writes and calculates is enough, does His Highness have a candidate?" ”
Zhu Yunwen understood as soon as he heard it, Yu Shangshu was not very interested in this, not only was the scale small, but also responsible for the trivial matter of exchanging silver tickets, it was estimated that few officials were willing to do it, but suddenly remembered a person, so he said to Yu Xin: "Yu Shangshu, I remember that there is a Lang Zhong named Tan Bo, when he was in the war game deduction, he had some impressions, is it still there?" Why don't you let him come? ”
Yu Xin thought about it, he didn't have any impression of this Tan Bo, and he probably wasn't an important person, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaguan will let him come to Zhan Shiyuan tomorrow and listen to His Highness's orders." ”
"Okay, it's hard work." Saying that, Zhu Yunwen asked Liu Zhen to take a few cucumbers and tomatoes to Yu Xin, which was grown in a greenhouse after the invention of glass, and it is still a rare commodity and is only supplied to the palace, so Yu Xin was very happy and thanked him.
Zhu Yunwen watched Yu Xin leave, opened a notebook and wrote down Tan Bo's name, and then wrote some precautions. Stand up and walk towards the Qianqing Palace, every day he has to go to see the old emperor and report what he has done and what he intends to do, no matter how big or small.
On the way, he was still thinking about the day, what happened to him? Seeing Bai Fangrui so out of shape today, what promise can she give her? Even if he became an emperor himself, it would be difficult to get her into the palace. Besides, is Fang Rui willing? The mother concubine already knows, and it is estimated that the imperial grandfather also knows, how will they react? Maybe I shouldn't have seen her, I didn't see her, I was so passionate that I was ruthless, alas......
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang just listened to Song Zhong's report, didn't say anything, waved his hand and let Song Zhong go down, let people take the pen and ink, and write the poem written by Zhu Yunwen today on the paper, after writing, threw the pen on the ground, and sighed: "Good poem, it's a pity, Yunwen is still too angry, what should I do?" ”
At this moment, Changfu reported to the emperor's grandson to ask to see, the old emperor nodded and agreed, Changfu saw the pen on the ground, and wanted to pick it up, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked him to leave it alone, and Changfu was ordered to go out.
After Zhu Yunwen came in, he saluted Zhu Yuanzhang, and when he saw a pen on the ground, he picked it up and said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang, when did you get so angry, the pen was thrown to the ground, ah," just as he was talking about this, he saw the poems on the paper on the dragon book case, but Zhu Yunwen was not surprised, and said: "Grandpa Huang knows, this afternoon Yunwen went to see the brothers and sisters of the Bai family, said some things, and wrote this on a whim." ”
The old emperor sighed and pointed to the chair: "Yun Wei, sit down." ”
"Yun Wei, I ask you, do you like that white girl?"
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "Grandpa Huang, Yun Wei can't say it well, Miss Bai is indeed smart and wise, and she has helped Yun Wei a lot in raising funds for martial arts, guards, etc. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to retreat from everyone, stood up, paced in the hall, and said earnestly: "Yun Wei, I know that you have a lot of ideas and great ambitions, you are not willing to be a king of success, and you still want to clear Mongolia, I am very happy, the old saying goes: 'Take the law from the top, only get it', you have great ambitions, but if you can achieve half of your ambitions, even if this life is not wasted." ”
"But remember not to abuse the power of the people, I believe that you are kind in your heart, you should be able to do it, so you must make good use of everyone, if this Bai Fangrui helps you a lot, then it is actually nothing to give her wealth. However, you must remember that you are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, the future son of heaven, not a poor scholar, do not indulge in the love and love of ordinary people. I started in cloth, since I became the emperor, I never dared to slack off for a day, trembling, like walking on thin ice; You also have to keep that in mind. ”
"Yun Wei, do you understand?"
Zhu Yunwen knelt on the ground, thinking about the old emperor and said: "Grandpa Huang, Yun Wei knows, Yun Wei understands how heavy the burden on his body is, and he will inevitably do his best to live up to the emperor's grandfather's trust." ”
"Well, get up, you are very attentive, I believe in you, and I will remind you often."
Zhu Yunwen kowtowed again: "Grandpa Xie Huang!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the main seat and asked, "Yun Wei, do you have anything to do with coming over today?" ”
"Grandpa Huang, Yun Wei has three things he wants to tell Grandpa Huang."
"Oh? Three pieces? Zhu Yuanzhang also became interested: "Let's hear it." ”
"Grandpa Huang, the first thing is to set up a bank on the basis of the profits from selling glass, and Yun Wei plans to go to the household department to find an official to be in charge of this matter."
After Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Zhu Yunwen's description, he felt that it was not interesting, and he felt that it was not as good as the Daming treasure banknote, and the scale was very small, so he didn't care very much, and said: "You go and do it, I agree with this." ”
"The second thing is that Yun Wei plans to add a position in the Weisu Army, called Tuntian Envoy?"
"Tuntian envoy? What for? ”
"Grandpa Huang, Yun Wei recently looked through the information of the guard station, and found that most of the guard stations are now farming, and the Wei commander is in charge, but the commander may not be good at tuntian, so Yun Wei plans to equip each guard with a special tuntian envoy, and the command envoy is responsible for fighting, so that each performs its own duties, maybe it will be better."
"So what about the conflict between the duties of the Tuntian envoy and the commander?"
"Grandpa Huang, this depends on the specific situation, Yun Wei preliminarily considered separating the tuntian and training, and each of them was in charge."
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and said, "Yun Wei, do you still have something to say?" ”
"Grandpa Huang, Yun Wei's idea is to divide the country into multiple levels, the first class is the Beijing Division, the second class is the important town, such as Kaifeng, Xi'an, Luoyang, Beiping, the third class is the peaceful area, such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, CD and other places, the fourth class is the war zone, such as Liaodong, Datong, Ningxia and other places, Yun Wei's idea is to gradually abolish the guard post in the order of rank, establish a standing army, and finally bring the inland guard post into the jurisdiction of the political envoy, and the Tuntian envoy will slowly be included in the administrative system."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and thought for a while: "I understand what you mean, do you think that the guard is a temporary mechanism and should be gradually abolished?" Why? Is the guard bad? ”
"Grandpa Huang, Yun Wei looked through the information of the guard, and found that there were many deserters, there are currently more than 200,000, and the Ming Dynasty has only been open for less than 30 years, it is conceivable that future generations will only get more and more serious, so Yun Wei wants to solve this problem as much as possible. Yun Wei felt that there were two reasons for desertion: one was that the burden of soldiers was too heavy, and the other was that the generals were brutal, and Yun Wei felt that this problem should be solved from two aspects, increasing the number of tuntian envoys, increasing land output, and gradually reducing the burden on soldiers; There are two reasons for the brutality of generals, one is that the generals are hereditary, which causes the soldiers to have no way to ask for help and dare not resist, and the other is the lack of resources. One is to increase the output of tuntian. ”
"I understand what you mean, it's just that there are many orders, and if you don't do it, it will affect the authority of the generals and the combat effectiveness of the army."
"Grandpa Huang, Yun Wei is not sure whether it is good or not, so Yun Wei plans to conduct a pilot."
"Pilot?"
"Yun Wei plans to try it in Liaodong, after a period of time, Yun Wei wants to appoint Geng Xuan as the commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan Department and Jinzhou Wei, and then configure a tuntian envoy in Jinshanwei first, and the fertilizer of the Engineering College and the Agricultural College can increase some production, and then it will increase farm tools, ploughing cattle and chemical fertilizers for Liaodong. If it is true that the output can be increased, Yun Wei intends to gradually advance in Liaodong, and Yun Wei hopes to use ten to twenty years to establish the Liaodong Political Envoy Division. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "Your idea is good, you can sort out a piece of music and put it up, I haven't figured it out for a while, let me think about it." What else is going on? Don't you say there are three things? ”
Zhu Yunwen scratched his head and said: "This matter, Yunwen is just an idea, it is not particularly perfect, Yunwen feels that the current tax system has certain problems, and feels that it is not very reasonable to tax according to the capitation, if the peasants lose their land, their taxes are not reduced, then they can only become displaced people or simply rebel, Yunwen feels that the tax should come from the land, if the farmer loses the land, then there is no need to tax, whoever buys his land, will have to bear the tax burden." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously more interested in this idea, and said: "This method is very good, but there are many factors that need to be considered, and the tax system revision cannot be completed in a day, and it will take decades to complete it." You study this well, write a recital, and I'll see if it's possible. ”
"Okay, Grandpa."
