Now that he has apprenticed, Li Qi wants the master to assign him something to do, otherwise it would be bad to be idle like this all the time.

So Lu Ning sent this newly recruited apprentice to Changning Evening News to be the deputy editor-in-chief to go through the training first.

Li Qi was still a little sullen, Lu Ning told him to think about it again, and he went out to beg Li Jinglong to help him.

Li Jinglong persuaded him.

"If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world, as long as you do that well, Master will assign you more important tasks."

After Li Qi made friends with the two senior brothers, he came back and said to Lu Ning that I am willing to be the editor of the Changning Evening News, and then very generously invited Zhu Yuanzhang, Lu Ning and others to dinner.

After dinner, Li Qi naturally went to report to the Changning Evening News.

Lu Ning invited Zhu Yuanzhang to the internal office, and when he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had been sighing, he asked.

"Uncle, has something happened to you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and sighed again.

"Zi'an, do you know? Now there is a big problem at the court. ”

You're just an imperial businessman, aren't you afraid of killing your head when you talk about national affairs when you have nothing to do?

Lu Ning's heart was a little worried, but he couldn't see a trace of tiredness on his face, thinking of his uncle Su Ri's kindness to him, and he couldn't bear to blame him.

So he asked very considerately: "What is it that makes my uncle worry like this, you can tell me." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was worried.

"Now there is a big problem in the imperial court, Zhongshu Province is dominant, what is the matter between the government and the opposition and the six ministries and three courts, it is natural to look at Prime Minister Zuo's face first, it is really a big problem."

Seeing that my uncle, who was not satisfied with his old age not long ago, suddenly feels a little old now.

His hand picked up the teacup several times and brought it to his mouth, but he forgot to drink it, and put it down dejectedly, Lu Ning was a little unbearable.

"Uncle, you are nothing more than a five-grade crown belt of domestic products, how can you care about such a big matter in the imperial court?"

"Ah, this ......"

After a slight groan, Zhu Yuanzhang had to give a reasonable explanation at this time, even if it was prevarication, it had to be just right.

"Don't you know that the national economy is the people's livelihood? If the province is dominant, it is easy to create powerful ministers, and when powerful ministers are in power, it is easy to trust traitors, cronyism, corruption, and corruption, and they are endless. In this way, how can your uncle do business with peace of mind? ”

Hearing such a lofty reason, Lu Ning couldn't refute it directly, but he still wondered in his heart, when did a businessman not value profit but only be loyal to the monarch and patriotic.

Seeing that he was worried, Zhu Yuanzhang also rushed to the doctor in a hurry, and asked very anxiously.

"Zi'an, what else do you have to do?"

Seeing that his uncle was in a hurry like this, Lu Ning was helpless.

"Forget it, if it weren't for the fear that my aunt would feel distressed when she saw your head broken, I wouldn't care about you, a nosy imperial businessman."

Hearing his words, Zhu Yuanzhang obviously meant that he was confident, and Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unconvinced.

"I don't know how many talents there are in the world, they haven't thought of a way, you have a way in the blink of an eye, shouldn't you be fooling us?"

Lu Ning rolled his eyes angrily.

"Believe it or not, I just have this confidence anyway."

Zhu Yuanzhang was laughed at by his indifferent attitude.

"Okay, let's hear what benefits you want me to get."

Seeing that he had hung up his uncle's appetite, Lu Ning talked eloquently.

"Zhongshu Province is originally a monopoly, and if you set up a cabinet, you can solve this problem."

This concept has never appeared since ancient times, and Zhu Yuanzhang is also the first time that a duck has heard thunder.

"What is the cabinet, tell us quickly."

Lu Ning didn't say it right away, but picked up the fat house happy water and poured it several times.

"Did I say you're done with the score? I won't talk about it. ”

Lu Ning looked at him and said.

"Uncle, what are you anxious about? I can't drink hot noodle soup in a hurry, and my mouth is dry, so I should be asked to moisten my throat. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said.

"What kind of hot noodle soup, let's only recognize pearl jade and white jade soup."

Lu Ning wasn't interested in hearing him say that famous dish, so he said directly.

"In the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were also prime ministers who couldn't get rid of them, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty found Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and a few other people to form an inner dynasty to restrict the rights of the prime minister, and the so-called cabinet was almost the same as the inner dynasty."

Then, Lu Ning gave a general explanation of the role of the cabinet.

It's just that his power is not so effective, and all the people are equivalent to a secretarial body of the emperor, which can only be uploaded and distributed.

Although the people there can be named university scholars and have a very respectful status, they only have the right to make suggestions, and the emperor himself has the final say.

In this way, doesn't it solve the problem of the central prime minister's excessive power? And these scholars can't have just one, what is needed is a group.

Although the one who is the leader is called the first assistant scholar, his power is not as great as that of the prime minister. ”

Hearing Lu Ning talking, Zhu Yuanzhang listened to it straightly, and kept telling him to continue, and when he said a lot, he asked again, is that all?

After Lu Ning finished speaking in one breath, he frantically poured several cups of tea and drank it with a clatter.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, he bowed his head thoughtfully, and subconsciously went to the teapot to pour tea, but he didn't pour anything.

But he didn't realize it at all, he still picked it up and drank it, and the air he was drinking was still unaware, and he suddenly put the cup down heavily.

"Zi'an, what a good idea! How exactly did you come up with the idea? ”

"Does Uncle think it's possible?"

"Of course it is feasible, you are the first ruler of the world to make this suggestion, and we are the first ruler of the world to be able to implement it... Forehead... Imperial merchants under the rule of Ming Jun! ”
