Chapter 158: Say goodbye to King Chuang

Even if you are the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you don't change your face so quickly!

What are you doing here?

Zhan Hui and the others felt the emperor's undisguised change in face, and they couldn't help but mumble in their hearts.

Zhu Yunxi walked quickly into the side hall from the outside, holding the things he had sorted out in his arms.

glanced at Zhan Hui and the others who were kneeling on the ground, and came to the old man with a little puzzlement, bowing down in a proper manner.

"Grandson to grandpa."

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly beckoned: "Sit down, talk to grandpa, is there anything you want grandpa to do for you?" ”

If it is said that father's love is like a mountain.

Zhu Yunxi just wants to say one more thing, his love is like the sea.

He smiled awkwardly, and looked at Zhan Hui and the others who were kneeling on the ground.

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang react, snorted coldly, and handed the confiscated piece of Jinyiwei to Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi put down the music and things he brought, and picked up the music handed over by the old man.

After only a brief glance, he already understood it in his heart.

Immediately, he smiled and persuaded: "Grandpa, you can't take what these criminals did and throw them to Zhan Shangshu." If Zhan Shangshu and them are like these prisoners, can you still keep them here, grandpa? ”

Zhan Hui and the others, who were kneeling on the ground, suddenly shouted in their hearts, the imperial grandson is virtuous!

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted a little reluctantly: "If they are like this, let's ask Jiang Zhen to cut them now!" ”

After scolding, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhan Hui and the others: "Still kneeling, there is the imperial grandson to intercede for you, and they are not all up." ”

Zhan Hui and the others were relieved, and hurriedly got up: "The ministers thank Your Majesty and thank the imperial grandson." ”

Zhu Yunxi smiled implicitly and looked at the scholars who had been tortured by the old man for a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang refers to the piece of music that he holds in his hand.

"Now that your fourth uncle has just won the northern expedition, the imperial court has not yet issued an order to reward the three armies. You take this piece back, go back and reconcile the three of them, and make a charter. ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded in response and stretched out the recital.

Xie Jin, who had been waiting on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to take the concerto, and retreated to the side of Xia Yuanji and Tie Xuan, two good friends.

And Zhu Yuanzhang had already picked up several different types of stamps and commercial stamps that Zhu Yunxi had placed on the table and put them in front of his eyes to observe.

After half a day, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't see what this thing was for.

I had to look at Zhu Yunxi helplessly: "Good grandson, do you want grandpa to do this today?" ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang showed an expression waiting for your kid to explain.

Zhan Hui and others on the side quietly stood on tiptoe and looked at the stamps held by the emperor.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and explained: "Grandpa's Halloween this year, isn't it handed over to his grandson." If the grandson doesn't make some money, I'm afraid the inner treasury will block the grandson every day. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the explanation, his eyes lit up, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "This thing can also make money?" ”

Following the emperor was the crown prince basking in the sun, looking at him curiously.

Zhan Hui and the others were also puzzled, curious about how those few pieces of paper could make money.

Zhu Yunxi was not in a hurry, and held the piece he brought with both hands in front of the old man: "Detailed, my grandson has already sorted it out, and I ask my grandfather to review it." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed, put down the stamp, took the chapter and flipped through it.

And Zhu Yunxi spoke softly and explained on the side.

"Grandson is planning to start from the post station on my Daming official road this time."

Goodbye, King Chuang!

Bye!

Let's get an iron job bowl for you that will never be laid off, and you won't have to toss out the name of the king anymore.

Zhu Yunxi muttered silently in his heart, and continued to explain to everyone.

"I am now a post station along the official road, most of which are built wide and occupy a wide area. But on weekdays, in addition to the comings and goings of officials in the DPRK and China, and the rest of military horses, there are only exchanges between the court and the local government. ”

"Most of the time, the post stations along the way are vacant, so in this way, the imperial court still has to give that share of money and grain to the post station officials, isn't this a waste of money, food and manpower."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Zhu Yunxi's explanation while looking at the song, and couldn't help nodding.

Basking in the sun, the prince who seems to have his own light also nodded silently.

Zhan Hui said: "The imperial grandson, the post station is for officials in the DPRK and China to come and go, and to present the chapters. And more importantly, my Daming has a vast territory, and whenever there is a war, this post station can always let the DPRK and China know the situation of the border war as soon as possible, so as to make adjustments and support. ”

He was implicitly reminding Zhu Yunxi not to mess with the station, otherwise it would be harmful.

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Grandpa, my grandson knows the importance of the post station to the imperial court in military affairs. So my grandson just thought that if I wasn't busy on weekdays, would these post stations also be able to deliver letters to my Ming people, and it would be easy to solve their dilemma of missing their family but being helpless. ”

"Moreover, these post stations cover a large area, and there are probably not many officials who come and go every day. Those vacant houses can be opened to merchants on the official road. As for the common people, they can also have a firewood house, so that they will not have to endure hunger and cold outside. ”

"There are also those goods carried by merchants, if they are not in a hurry to sell when they arrive in a place, or they are in distress on the way, they can also be stored in the post station, so that the post stations on both sides of the official road can be regarded as exhausted, and it will not be wasted."

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the piece in his hand and looked at Zhan Hui and the others: "What do you think of this?" ”

Zhan Hui and the others glanced at each other, pondering in their hearts.

Subsequently, it was still the military department Shangshu Ruyu who spoke: "The ministers are just worried, if the post station is released and used by merchants and the people, will it delay the affairs of the military state in the DPRK and China." ”

Zhu Yunxi immediately replied: "To deliver letters to the people, you only need to set a fixed person, and then take turns." As long as each post station has enough manpower to prepare for the needs of the court. ”

"As for accommodation, it is naturally the same, and a few rooms must always be vacated to prevent officials from rushing to use them."

"As long as the DPRK and China set the rules, there will be no chaos."

Ru Yu nodded: "The words of the imperial grandson are to have a special person to deliver letters to the people, and also leave a special house for officials in the court. In this way, it is also a feasible move. ”

Zhao Mian, the head of the household, also spoke at this time: "It's just that the imperial grandson said that he wants to earn money and food through the post station, I don't know what the imperial grandson is going to do?" ”

As soon as money was mentioned, the monarchs and ministers in the entire side hall all looked at Zhu Yunxi at the same time.

If you don't delay the affairs of the imperial court and the military state, you can still do things well and earn money for the imperial court, which is naturally a good thing for you, me, and everyone.

But if it delays the court's business again and makes no money, then this matter can be vetoed now.

Zhu Yunxi had already prepared, picked up the stamps on the table and sent them to the old man.

Zhan Hui and the others bowed forward and took a few.

Zhu Yunxi said: "Confucius said: 'The popularity of virtue is faster than the delivery of mail. That's how my grandson made this stamp. ”

"Stamps?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked curious.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "It's stamps, the DPRK and China can make these stamps in advance, and then sell them to the people." After the people bought it, they only had to attach the stamps to the letters, write down where they wanted to send the letters, and finally hand them over to the post station. ”

As he spoke, he handed the residence ticket and deposit ticket to the old man: "And these, as long as I buy this ticket back from the Ming merchant and hand it over to the post station when I use it." In this way, the imperial court sold all kinds of tickets, collected money, and used the post station in its spare time, reducing the cost of waste. Benefit the country and the people. ”

Zhan Hui and the others had already looked at the emperor at this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were like torches, and after careful consideration, he nodded slowly under Zhu Yunxi's expectant gaze.

"As long as it does not affect the use of the DPRK and China, the post station implements this law, and we have no opinion."

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but feel relieved.

But the old man's words continued to reach his ears: "It's just that these stamps and other things, how do you plan to price them?" If the price is too high, I am afraid that it will be difficult for ordinary people to use it to send letters. But if it's too low, the court won't be able to make much money, wouldn't it be a toss in vain? ”

"How much money can ordinary people have." Zhu Yunxi said without thinking.

Under the bewildering gaze of the crowd.

He smiled and said: "The reason why my grandson also got this stamp is just to facilitate communication between my family members and friends of the Ming people, if the court does a good job, it is a benevolent government of grandpa, benefiting the people." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this explanation, he immediately blinked and looked at Zhan Hui and the others.

Then he laughed, pointed at Zhu Yunxi and scolded: "This kid knows how to be benevolent for us." ”

Zhan Hui and the others immediately bowed down and said: "The imperial grandson has the people in his heart, earns money for the imperial court, and does not forget to solve the problem of difficult contact between relatives and friends of the people, which can be described as benevolent." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with a smile on his face, and affirmed to Zhu Yunxi: "Even if you kid is still worried about the people, even if you are aiming for this, we can't veto this matter." You continue to say, if you earn benevolence for us, how can you make money for us. ”

The atmosphere in the side hall couldn't help but relax and be happy.

Such a thing that makes fame and money can be made, who can refuse.

Zhu Yunxi snorted: "The reason for making money is naturally to make money from those businessmen." If they want to live in the post station, and if they want to deposit the goods in the post station, the money must be more expensive than the stamp. ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze back to the stamp.

And, according to his grandson's vision, the stamp could also be transferred from the merchants to the money. Even, you can earn more than the post station provides accommodation and inventory! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others couldn't stop nodding.

Merchants stay in post stations and store goods, and the imperial court does not have to collect as many as the restaurants and hotels in the city, but there will be no less.

It's just that stamps can make a lot of money, but they didn't expect it.

Isn't this a benevolent government that is meant to benefit the people?

Zhao Mian, the head of the household, has been very popular recently, and when he heard that he could make a lot of money, he immediately said in anticipation: "Please also ask the emperor and grandson to release the ministers, etc., how can this stamp make a lot of money." ”

Zhu Yunxi picked up a stamp without hurry.

Point to the blank space above.

"Grandpa, ladies and gentlemen, have you ever seen that there are no pictures on these stamps, blank spaces?"

Everyone nodded.

The corners of Zhu Yunxi's mouth lifted and looked at everyone: "If it is these blank places, print grandpa's ink treasures, and then make them more exquisite, and finally limit the quantity." Do you think those businessmen will pay a lot of money to buy it? ”
