Chapter Ninety-Eight: You Come and Be a Political Commissar

Zhu Youzhen sighed and said, "Hey-when it comes to money, who doesn't like money in the world, where can't you use it?" Now that Daming is waiting to be prosperous, it is said that it is the time to employ people, but in fact, it should be said to be the time to use money.

Zhu Yousong asked: "The purpose of your trip to Beijing this time is probably also for money, right?" ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said: "Although this Beijing camp is controlled by Zhang Weixian, there are many fish and dragons in it, and most of the generals and officers are nobles, drinking soldiers' blood and eating empty salaries. ”

Zhu Yousong sighed when he heard this, the whole social atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty is not very good, he once heard a sentence: "Civil officials are not greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death." "It's a pity that the current atmosphere in the Ming officialdom is that it is difficult for someone to be honest and honest.

Zhu Youzhen's face slowly became gloomy, and he said, "The current Da Ming can be said to be terminally ill. ”

Zhu Youzhen, who is confident in everything, will have such a look, which makes Zhu Yousong very different. Zhu Yousong looked at Zhu Youzhen's dejected appearance, as if he had just met him.

Zhu Youzhen said to himself: "The starting point of the two of us is too high, one son, one emperor, sometimes, I would rather I am not Zhu Youzhen, I did not inherit this throne, but just a flat-headed commoner!" ”

Zhu Yousong's eyebrows looked at Zhu Youzhen one by one, as if he was looking at a neuropathy, and said strangely: "Your brain is pumped?" ”

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Zhu Yousong and said depressedly: "It's not that I have a brain pump, and I don't joke with you, sometimes I really think so!" ”

"Not to mention the civil and military officials in the court who are corrupt and pervert the law, it is just a group of gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, which is enough for the two of us."

Zhu Yousong frowned and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Zhu Youzhen sighed and said: "The situation in front of Daming, all kinds of forces are intertwined, and various interest groups are intertwined, and wanting to clean them up through reform is tantamount to a fool's dream. ”

"The reason why the Ming Dynasty perished in history is that a large part of the reason is land annexation and silver famine, the country can't take out the silver and land to settle those rebellious people, those who rebel are destroyed and rising, rising and falling, when can it be a head? In this way, this dynasty was dragged down......"

Zhu Yousong had heard about the land annexation and silver famine at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but he only knew a little about it and was not familiar with the details. He heard Zhu Youzhen's emotion there, nodded, and asked, "What about the land and silver of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said helplessly: "Our ancestors said that they wanted to 'hide the wealth from the people', and the Ming Dynasty has been lightly endowed, and now, the silver in the world has not entered the hands of the common people, but has all gone into the hands of merchants, officials and nobles." ”

Zhu Yousong said contemptuously: "Then collect taxes, just collect their taxes!" ”

Zhu Youzhen touched his nose: "Have you heard of the tax supervisor a few years ago?" Although the transfer is heavy, it has really increased a lot of income for the imperial court, but now, isn't it abolished? If you want to ask them for money, it's a fool's dream. ”

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and everyone pays the national tax, so let them do something."

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "Boss, you are still a scholar, do you know who said the phrase 'the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband'?" ”

Zhu Yousong stretched his hand out of the window, lit a cigarette ash, and said, "Gu Yanwu, it's really meβ€”eh, Gu Yanwu is born now, right?" ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "I don't know, I really think I'm Baidu Encyclopedia?" Anyway, I haven't heard of him being famous yet, so he should still be famous. ”

Zhu Yousong laughed and said: "Hey, this is stealing his famous words, I will publicize it when I go back, don't publicize it first!" ”

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Zhu Yousong angrily, and said: "When I get to Beijing later, familiarize myself with the situation first, those who can use it will use it, and those who can't use it will be kicked out in the future. ”

Zhu Yousong said curiously: "I am a prince of a vassal king, and I don't have any real power, what are you calling me over for at this time?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Although Zhang Weixian is loyal to the royal family, he is old and lacks energy after all......"

Before Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, Zhu Yousong said excitedly: "Do you want me to take over?" ”

Zhu Youzhen extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "What are you dreaming about?" Do you know how the march and war are now? Do you know how to line up? Will you set up? Do you know how to train? You'll ......."

Zhu Yousong's face became more and more ugly, and he gritted his teeth and asked: "I don't know what you said above, I only know that if you let me take charge of the Beijing camp, those people in the court will definitely explode!" That's why you asked me what you called me for? ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that Zhu Yousong showed signs of running wild, and his attitude softened immediately, and said: "Zhang Weixian is old and doesn't have so much energy, I want to set up a gunpowder bureau or ordnance station in the Beijing camp, and you can help me keep an eye on it when the time comes." ”

Zhu Yousong's face softened and asked, "Only for this matter, do you need to ask me to go to Beijing with you?" ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said: "Of course it's not just this, I also want to set up a political department in the barracks, and then you will be a general political commissar in it, and take charge of the ideological work of the army." ”

Zhu Yousong's eyes widened and said, "Political commissar? ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded: "That's right." ”

"Still focus on ideological work?"

Zhu Youzhen nodded: "That's right." ”

Zhu Yousong flicked the cigarette butt in his hand through the window and asked, "Are you kidding?" Are you putting the cart before the horse, we are trying to make money! ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head, and said with a straight face: "No, you know, if you don't do a good job in ideological work, those who are soldiers will only recognize money when they start a war, where is there any sense of collective honor?" Do you really think that everyone now has the consciousness of the children of the future? As for making money, didn't I just say that the officials of the eunuch party will definitely make moves in the next two days, and they are reluctant to take out the money. ”

Zhu Yousong scratched his ears and hesitated: "Even so, I'm not familiar with the work of this political commissar?" ”

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I have compiled a set of plans, and I will show you when the time comes." ”

"You're pretty well prepared!"

Zhu Youzhen smiled shyly, frowned suddenly, sighed and said: "Daming is now full of holes, there is a saying called not breaking and not standing, sometimes I really want to smash some things in Daming, and then rebuild them, which is much more convenient and faster than reforming stupidly now." ”

Sometimes the effort it takes to repair a thing is really better than to build a new one, Zhu Yousong nodded sympathetically.

……

The speed of the carriage slowed down, Zhu Yousong glanced out of the window, called a brocade guard who was following the carriage over and asked, "How far is it from Jingying, is it almost there?" ”

The brocade guard bowed down and replied: "Back to Shizi, it's only three miles away from Jingying, and it's almost there." ”

Zhu Yousong retracted his head and looked at Zhu Youzhen.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen's eyes were closed, he took a deep breath and spit it out, and when he opened his eyes, the melancholy look between his eyebrows just now was swept away, only majesty and coldness remained, and the atmosphere inside the carriage suddenly became gloomy.

"Boss, have you ever seen a murderer over here?"

Zhu Yousong looked at Zhu Youzhen, whom he didn't know, in front of him in a daze, as if he had never seen him before......
