Chapter 159: Post Station Reform

Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty?

Zhan Hui and the others saw the stamp held in the hand by the imperial grandson, and their thoughts couldn't turn for a while.

But it was Zhu Yuanzhang on the side, listening to Zhu Yunxi's idea, he couldn't help laughing, and then glared at him helplessly.

"You kid, let's write you the name of that ice jade jelly. But I've tasted the sweetness, and now let us write these stamps for you? ”

The old man of the emperor had probably agreed to the emperor's grandson's suggestion in his heart.

Zhan Hui, who is the secretary of the ministry and is also in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, immediately said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the imperial grandson is quick to think and has a way to collect money for the imperial court. Not to take profits from the people, open source for the court, and make the people of the world look up to His Majesty's Mobao, which is a great good. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his Ministry of Rites and snorted, "It's you who are the best at sycophancy." ”

Zhan Hui smiled awkwardly, didn't he already shoot his ass.

Zhu Yunxi's face was reserved, and he looked at Zhan Hui and the others with a smile: "Actually, it's not just grandpa's ink treasure. All of you are from the Jinshi of the National Dynasty, and you have your own style and charm in one hand, and I heard that several ministers are proficient in Danqing.

If the imperial court implements the stamp system, this king thinks that in addition to his grandfather's ink treasure. Naturally, I would like to ask you to join in this matter, add pen and ink treasures, and sway Danqing, so that the literary brilliance of your ministers can be revealed in front of the world. ”

Oh young!

It's amazing!

This is a great thing to show up in front of the world with Rong Youyan and His Majesty's Mobao.

For a while, Zhan Hui and others were enthusiastic after considering the risks and benefits of the post station restructuring.

The risk is almost equal to nothing, and under the open source of the imperial court, their literary style can be put together with His Majesty, countless scholars in the world have been studying hard for decades, and how many people can get such an honor.

This is more face-saving and famous than the emperor giving them a generous reward.

Zhan Hui, Zhao Mian, Ru Yu and others immediately bowed down.

"The emperor's grandson is benevolent and virtuous, and the ministers' clumsy pen and shallow ink can be appreciated by the emperor's grandson, and the ministers are afraid, thank you."

The prince, who was basking in the sun on the side, finally showed a smile on the corner of his mouth and nodded quietly.

Then, he regained his attention and refocused on the scroll in his hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes a little unhappily, and snorted: "On weekdays, whenever there is praise from Jian Er, he refuses to accept it again and again, but now this kid just wants you to work for him, but they all start to thank him." ”

Even Zhao Mian, who is usually good at calculation, is also happy to open his hand at this time: "Your Majesty, the ministers are appreciated by the emperor's grandson, and the clumsy pen can also be put together with His Majesty's ink treasure, circulating among the people of the world. ”

Zhan Hui and the others nodded again and again, no matter how they fought against each other in the past in the court, but Zhao Mian's explanation at this moment was what they thought in their hearts.

What is reading for?

Naturally, it is for the sake of entering the office, or the world, or worshipping the prime minister.

But it is also for the sake of the posthumous name, who can one day become a sage respected by scholars all over the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, these scholars are always like this, and they attach great importance to the reputation that cannot be seen or touched.

It's just that he can make the court open source, and he has no intention of reacting to this.

Instead, he turned his head to look at his good grandson.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with school examination and curiosity: "Good grandson, you got the matter of this post station restructuring, since these people don't object, then we will allow it." ”

Just as Zhu Yunxi was about to get up and thank him, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and pressed him down.

Subsequently, Zhu Yuanzhang began to ask: "It's just a good grandson, how much do you plan to price this stamp and these residence stamps and deposit stamps?" ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded, he had a plan in his heart, and explained: "The scale of the post stations must be confirmed in advance by the imperial court for both the residence ticket and the deposit ticket. Since it is a benevolent government run by the imperial court, this price is naturally lower than the ordinary price, so it can be regarded as benevolent government. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with satisfaction: "This should be the meaning, the court does not want to compete with the people, if it can be convenient for my Ming merchants and the people, it doesn't hurt to earn less, it is better than nothing." ”

Up to now, when he has not seen with his own eyes what kind of benefits Zhu Yunxi's post reform will bring, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is still just staying, this is his good grandson to raise money for his own longevity festival.

It's not because of his ability and vision.

It is because of the limitations of this era that Zhu Yuanzhang cannot realize the potential energy that the post station can bring.

He retracted: "Then how are you going to price this stamp?" ”

Zhu Yunxi replied again: "Ordinary stamps that are convenient for people to send letters, my grandson thinks that the price is five yuan." As for grandpa's limited Mobao, as well as the Mobao Danqing of the ministers, the grandson thought that the price should be higher. ”

Saying that, Zhu Yunxi groaned: "Grandson thinks that grandpa's Mobao stamps are priced at one hundred taels and is not a small amount!" As for the stamps of your ministers, according to your official rank and the number of stamps produced, they range from 10 taels to 50 taels, which is probably possible. ”

A hundred taels can only buy such a small stamp?

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of surprise, and he suddenly doubted whether his Mobao could be sold at such a high price.

Even Zhan Hui and the others hesitated.

"The imperial grandson, the price is so high, those businessmen and gentry will really buy it?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "It has been twenty-four years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the people have gradually become rich, and the families of the merchants and gentry have a lot of money and food. And grandpa and your Mobao stamps, there are not many productions, and they are not often made, but they are made and sold on New Year's Festivals or special days. ”

"With the holy name of my grandfather and the good names of my ministers, I am afraid that when the time comes, the imperial court will not face the problem of not being able to sell, but too many people buying it......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but think that he had seen countless commemorative tickets and commemorative coins, and he also went to the specified places to prepare to buy them, but none of them could be bought.

It can be known that the people of the Central Plains are so fanatical about this kind of thing with particularity, commemorative value, and collection value.

That's the emperor's old man's ink treasure! Here, there is also the pen and ink of the adults in the middle hall!

This is something that ordinary people can come into contact with on a daily basis.

Zhu Yunxi was even wondering if he would do something to enshrine the old man's Mobao after he sold it himself in the future.

He even thought that once the postal reform of the post station was completely stabilized, every time the imperial court had a new appointment in the future, a set of corresponding commemorative stamps would be developed.

Maybe when the time comes, these bosses in the court will compete not in terms of how many rewards they have received and whether they have been promoted, but who has sold more stamps and who has a higher price.

Not to mention, the Ming Dynasty is now a series of expeditions, every time there is a victory, the imperial court can also launch commemorative stamps.

It's all money!

It's almost nuclear-powered!

Zhan Hui and the others recalled Zhu Yunxi's explanation, and couldn't help but think about it.

These people are the Ming Dynasty's scholars, and the people below can't find a way to tie up on weekdays, and at this time with their Mobao Danqing stamps for sale, I'm afraid that it is really as the emperor said, as long as it is launched, it will be robbed madly.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the final board: "We have agreed to this matter, you take the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Rites to do this matter." ”

Get.

The old man must still have that attitude, who proposes the matter, who will solve it.

I still have to do the things of the Halloween at this time, and now I have taken on the post station restructuring and the implementation of stamps.

Zhu Yunxi muttered in his heart, got up and thanked him.

Then he looked back and kept looking, and finally looked at Xie Jin, a Hanlin scholar who was already looking panicked.

When Xie Jin's heart was screaming badly.

Zhu Yunxi had already opened his mouth and said, "Master Xie, since you are from Hanlin, this matter will be handed over to you." Grandpa and the ministers of the court, you will get it in the next two days, so take the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Rites to finish the matter as soon as possible. ”

They are all future cabinet teams, and Zhu Yunxi swore that he would make this decision by cultivating them in advance and putting a burden on them.

Xie Jin, who had a bad instinct and was still pressed down by the matter after all, lowered his head and smiled bitterly, then raised his head and arched his hand and said, "The minister receives the order." ”

On the side, Xia Yuanji, the director of the Household Cleaning Division, who has been busy these days, is hiding on the side, snickering.

Let you Xie Jin boast that he is a member of the Hanlin Academy all day long, and he only needs to revise books and history every day.

The emperor's old man's birthday is coming, if you can't do this, you will turn around and let the emperor's grandson cut off your head!

Xie Jin didn't know that his best friend was slandering himself in his heart, and his eyes were suddenly locked on Xia Yuanji, who was stealing fun.

Xia Yuanji's heart jumped, thinking that his thoughts were known by the other party, so he hurriedly restrained his face and said in a low voice: "What is the big gentleman going to do?" ”

Xie Jin smiled: "The imperial grandson handed over this matter to us to do, but the post station, I remember that the imperial grandson handed it over to Brother Wei Zhe last time, please Brother Wei Zhe work hard these days, and hand over the post station in Zhili to us as soon as possible." ”

"......" Xia Yuanji, who was still secretly having fun, suddenly showed bitterness.

How did this matter come to an end, but I still got myself involved, and I forgot about this stubble!

And on the other end.

Zhu Yuanzhang was full of joy and looked at the prototype of the stamp brought by Zhu Yunxi.

He didn't realize at all that he was still despising Zhan Hui and others for their reputation, and at this time he was already thinking that his Mobao would one day enter the thousands of households in the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that after some imagination, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "Good grandson, if this post station is restructured and the sale of stamps is prosperous, it will inevitably crowd out the original responsibilities of the post station in the court." At that time, the post station will be full of ordinary businessmen, and if the war army report is delivered, I am afraid that there will still be chaos. ”

Zhu Yunxi's mind turned, and he immediately said without thinking: "Increase the manpower of the post station over there!" ”

"Increasing the number of people at the station?"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately frowned: "In this way, wouldn't it increase the cost of the post station in vain." ”
