The Duan family was not happy about the crown prince's return to the palace, and it was true that he was very nervous. She knew that she should regard the crown prince as her lifelong dependence, and she was the closest person in the world. Isn't it often said that the daughter who marries out of the country spills the water that goes away, and now even if her father and mother see her, she has to abide by the courtesy.

But I'm afraid.

For no other reason, this fear could not be dispelled in Duan's heart, the longer the crown prince left, the more free she was in the palace, and the more restrained and afraid she was when the crown prince returned.

Zhu Cihong keenly captured this emotion, and can also understand: two people who have nothing to do with each other suddenly become husband and wife, but they have been together for a short time, and the gap caused by their identity naturally needs time to be bridged. Do you think that when Yao Tao, Lu Suyao and other female officials saw themselves, they were not like mice seeing cats? After a few years of getting along, this awe will naturally disappear.

"This kid is a little more like you." Zhu Cihong hugged his son Zhu Hegui.

"Boys are more and more like their mothers as they get older, and when he is born, he looks like His Royal Highness." Duan said on the side.

"Didn't he be born like an ugly monkey?" Zhu Cihong said casually.

Duan sneered, and hurriedly coughed to cover up his loss of manners.

Zhu Cihong hugged the child and shook it, looking at the first bone and blood of this past and present life. He really wanted to see the various "moods" of the petty bourgeoisie, and write words like "Ah, this is the continuation of my life" like a poet.

But in fact, Zhu Cihong watched it for a long time, and he didn't feel that this little guy had any connection with his life, in view of the extremely high mortality rate of the Ming prince, if he died tomorrow, he probably wouldn't have any heartache. This may be the individual difference between people, and some people are more aware of the metaphysical level - of course, it is not excluded to moan and pretend to be unsick.

Zhu Cihong is the only one who can see it. It is my own educational responsibility.

The prosperity of the empire is a long-term project, and after you finish it, you must educate your children and grandchildren in order not to spoil them.

"He lives with you?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"The concubine looks at him as young ......," Duan's said.

"Well, let him stay with us." Zhu Cihong did not live with his father and queen mother when he was a child, and was taken care of by his nursing mother and internal officials. Living in a separate hall is a true tradition. However, Zhu Cihong was very worried about the child's early education, so he specially issued an order.

Duan was naturally happy when he heard this, but the nurse was not happy. If it were a different person, she might have shouted: this is not in place. However, in the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was determined to kill, she did not have the courage, so she could only stand aside with her head down, hoping that the crown prince could feel this resentment...... As soon as the crown prince asked, she would tell the crown prince about her ancestral system and traditions. Do your part.

It's a pity that Zhu Cihong didn't pay attention to these small details, but continued: "Try not to let the child out of your sight in the future, there are no big dangers, and don't care too much about bumps." Haven't you heard anyone say that if you want to have a child, you often bring three points of hunger and cold. ”

The nurse finally couldn't help but refute, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Zhu Cihong holding the child and looking at her: "In the future, I will live next door to my bedroom." ”

"Yes. Master. The nurse was exhausted and hurriedly took the child. Bowed his head.

Duan's really couldn't wait to leave his child for a moment, he smiled when he heard the words, buried his head deeply, and said secretly: Sure enough, it is his own flesh and blood, and looking at it is close.

"You can also exercise properly." Zhu Cihong said: "Calm your mind and move your body." It shouldn't be biased. What sports do you like? ”

Duan was a little surprised when she heard this, she grew so big, and the biggest amount of exercise was walking. If you say you like it, you can't talk about it.

"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"Of course...... Won't ......"

"Teach you how to ride a horse tomorrow."

Duan's heart suddenly filled with a sweet taste, and he was looking forward to the next day's activities. I was a little nervous again.

Zhu Cihong didn't realize this problem, after seeing his wife and children, they had lunch together, and there were still many things to do in the afternoon.

The first point is to discuss the issue of "spoils" with the cabinet.

In fact, there are quite a few opponents in the DPRK and China to the resumption of Taiwan and the use of troops this time. Most of them think that the country has just calmed down and that it is time to recuperate. The expansion of troops in the north is a last resort, and the use of troops in the south is an unwarranted provocation.

And just like Emperor Chongzhen, many people are not clear about the practical interests of conquering Taiwan, and for them Taiwan is a wild island. For the life on the island, according to Confucianism and Taoism, the civilized Ming people should not disturb these wild animals, so that they can continue to live in a carefree primitive state, which is "virtue".

Zhu Cihong can make clear to his parents in private the economic and political benefits brought about by the recovery of Taiwan, but in an environment where a gentleman is ashamed of his words, this kind of thing must not be said publicly, otherwise it will corrupt the atmosphere.

So you can only do it directly.

Zhu Cihong made an account and transferred 1 million taels from Zheng Zhilong's ransom as Taiwan's estimated income in Chongzhen for 21 years. Dividends were paid in advance - of course, only for five percent of the money left for the court officials, that is, fifty thousand taels. The silver returned to Beijing with Donggong Xingyuan and went directly to the inner carrier.

"Although the income this year is not much, I believe that it will increase year by year." Zhu Cihong said to Wu, Sun, and Jiang.

The three pavilion elders looked at each other, pondering in their hearts how to shirk this profit.

In any case, the Heavenly Family shares profits among the courtiers, although this kind of thing is nominally "the Son of Heaven and the scholars share the world", but it is still a little scary to put it in front of you.

"Mr. Jiang knows the benefits of sea trade," Zhu Cihong pointed out, "Nanyang Company is giving you dry shares, and it will not lose money first, and even if it loses, it will not take money from you." Rest assured. ”

"Your Highness," Wu Fu finally said, "this matter is not proper. We are all national cabinet assistants, how can we be useless? Doesn't that make my life restless? ”

"You have done a great job in stabilizing the situation for me." Zhu Cihong said: "I know that you may not agree with my resumption of Taiwan and the use of troops, but these days the government has been implemented according to the rules, the voice of dissent has been suppressed, and the people's will has been cohesive. Zhu Cihong didn't expect to be so patient and enlightened to send money out.

He added: "I have been thinking about the interests of the country, the gentry, and the people these days. Thinking about it, I am actually poor at both ends. The country is poor, and the people are poor, but the gentry are rich. So once I cut on the officials and gentlemen, I will immediately have money. ”

There was no difference in the faces of the three pavilion assistants, and they were indeed veterans of Huan Hai.

"The problem is that it is impossible for the gentry to kill them all." Zhu Cihong said: "I can kill the old gentry, and the person I promoted myself has become the new gentry." If I do it more ruthlessly, not to mention the officials below, even the gentlemen will not govern the world with me. ”

"Your Highness, the gentry are also the hearts of the people." Wu Fu affirmed Zhu Cihong's understanding, and was indeed afraid that this young master would be determined to kill the rich and help the poor.

"The gentry want to be rich, the people want to live, and the court wants silver, what should I do? I think there are only two ways: inside and outside. Zhu Cihong gently knocked on the table and accentuated his tone: "Inside, let's compromise with each other, and no one should eat alone." While the gentry lived a good life, they let the people eat and dress warmly, and let the court have the money to raise soldiers, resist foreign insults, and build water conservancy. Externally, we can't watch the Tessie people come from afar to rob us of our profits. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Cihong looked at Jiang Dejing again and said, "Mr. Jiang, I received a very interesting letter in Fuzhou. ”

Jiang Dejing's face did not change, and said, "Please make it clear to Your Highness." ”

"Someone accused the Fuquan Jiang family of relying on the old man's house, monopolizing trade, and forcibly buying and selling." Zhu Cihong smiled: "I don't know if Mr. Jiang knows?" ”

"Your Highness Mingjian," a red cloud rose on Jiang Dejing's face: "The minister is busy with official business and has not been in contact with the clan for a long time. It must be a young man who defrauds the township in the name of his ministers. The courtier's family has been scholarly for generations, and even if the children are not good, it will not be like this! ”

Zhu Cihong said casually: "I just want to say that it's not uncommon for this kind of thing to happen." Mr. Jiang's family doesn't have it, it's hard to guarantee that Mr. Wu's family doesn't, maybe Mr. Sun's family also has ...... In the future, when Li Ge Lao and Zhang Ge Lao come, who can guarantee that the family will not do some small business behind their backs? ”

"The root of it is actually a thought: the profit is not too little, and you can make more money." Zhu Cihong said: "The small profits in the countryside are still like this, in the vast ocean, millions of taels of big benefits, why no one takes them?" Let those Francois and Hongmaoyi travel thousands of miles to make money. ”

Wu Fu and the others immediately understood. The crown prince went around such a big circle, in fact, he wanted to persuade the cabinet: to hold the interests of Nanyang in the hands of the Ming Dynasty! Nanyang's dry shares seem to be rewarded, but in fact they are also bait, and those who take the money always want to continue to take it and get more...... Therefore, we have to support the use of troops in Nanyang.

No wonder this company is not called a Taiwanese company, but a Nanyang company!

Wu Fu said: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that this cadre stock should not be given to the minister and other private individuals. He saw that Zhu Cihong's face was unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness has insight into thousands of miles, and naturally knows that there is a deal in the homes of our officials and gentry. Speaking of which, in fact, the benefits of the imperial court's use of troops have been shared, so how can they be divided again? Isn't it insatiable? ”

"Since His Royal Highness hopes that all the officials of the DPRK and China will pay attention to Nanyang, why not distribute this half of the cadre shares to various ministries and temples." Wu Fu said: "The annual dividends are put into the public account of the temple, and the officials of each ministry are divided into silver according to their positions. If you are in office, you will have this benefit, and if you are gone, you will no longer share the profits, so that the government policy will naturally be stable for a long time. ”

Of course, Zhu Cihong knows that the bonuses of the Daoist department have a more significant effect on policy promotion than private bonuses. In the future, even if a certain boss is not willing to cooperate, he has to take into account the morale of the entire department. It's just that he wanted to lure him step by step, but he didn't expect Wu Fu to do it in one step.

However, in this way, the legal business of the gentry is equivalent to obtaining the approval of the crown prince.

I really underestimate the heroes of the world! (To be continued......)
