Canonized two princes, might as well tease Sun?

Zhu Yunxi felt that the old man must have become more and more obsessed recently.

He couldn't help but whisper: "In the world, this is the first thing to happen in this dynasty......"

"So what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be a little bored, and now he only knows the eldest grandson of the country who is chattering in his ear all day long. He dropped a sentence and turned to the crib.

Seeing two little people lying on the soft cotton futon, Zhu Yuanzhang tilted his head and patted his hands gently.

"Sheng'er, grow up quickly, and when you grow up, your grandfather will teach you to read and practice martial arts. Only when it grows strong can we protect Poria cocos, protect our Ming Dynasty and the people of Limin. ”

This is still the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who killed people without blinking?

Zhu Yunxi blinked, and couldn't help but turn his head to look sideways at the little fat next to him.

Chubby shook his head knowingly.

He felt that the old man had gradually had two faces in the past few years.

One is the Hongwu Emperor who is high above and has an unpredictable sacred heart. With a word from the emperor, the dynasty moves, and a piece of edict can float corpses for thousands of miles.

The other face is an old man guarding the village, with a few acres of fertile land that can be passed on to the family, a few children in the house, and a house full of children and grandchildren. Every day, I waited for the children to come home from farming, and talked to my grandchildren about the uneventful years of the past.

Who said the Son of Heaven was ruthless?

Zhu Gaochi even felt that the old man in front of him at this moment was his truest nature.

The emperor who is high up and controls the life of the world, but the old man is helpless from the beginning, and he has become like that step by step.

Zhu Yunxi is also a little touching.

Suddenly, he found that the old man had a lot more gray hair, and his back was bent a little. The skin on the face is no longer radiant, and the muscles and bones under the skin can be seen in the emaciated hands.

He's really old.

Looking at the old man, and then at his two children on the small bed, Zhu Yunxi was full of emotion for a while.

His heart jumped even more suddenly.

This year marks the 28th anniversary of Hongwu.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes shrank, and he stepped forward lightly, and his tone had become more deferential: "A few days ago, Zhang Ergong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, was looking for his grandson, saying that he had made a few new things, and the steam warship over there at the Longjiang Shipyard was about to be launched, and another ironclad neat warship had already started. It's all something new, if the grandfather is interested, the grandson will pick a day, avoid the cabinet and the court, and go outside the city to see? ”

The two children on the small bed were probably tired from crying just now, and now they gradually closed their eyes and fell asleep solidly.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand, turned his head and whispered: "You arrange it, and you will know it to me when the time comes." ”

Zhu Yunxi bowed his head: "Grandson understands." ”

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang carefully looked at Zhu Yunxi's eyes, suppressed his voice, lest he startle the two little people on the side, and said: "The king of the county with a different surname in the imperial court cannot be attacked, and he cannot leave Beijing without an edict, and he will lead the army to set up a deputy general to supervise the army." ”

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows, it seems that the old man has already planned for a long time.

He bowed down and said, "Sun Er knows, it will be convenient for the cabinet to inform you later, and this national policy will be decided." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed and waved his hand: "I'm a little tired, you can go and get busy by yourself." ”

"The grandson is leaving."

……

In Yingtian City in autumn, there is still some residual heat in the summer heat, and only after Chongyang will it gradually cool down.

The scorching white sun hung high in the sky, pulling out long shadows from everything on the earth.

In the palace, since the arrival of the prince and daughter of the Taisun Mansion, everyone from top to bottom has been ordered, and all excessive movements are prohibited in the palace, which inevitably disturbs the prince and the daughter.

Zhu Yunxi clasped his hands together, a little funny.

Beside him, Zhu Gaochi, who was also holding his hands, was really walking around with his belly.

From time to time, there will be a few palace maids or small chamberlains, pressing their steps to walk by.

When he saw the two of them, he would bow down and stand in the distance, and wait until the imperial grandson and Yan Shizi left, and then they would continue to move forward.

"Your marriage with the daughter of the commander Zhang Qi is coming soon, right?"

Zhu Gaochi's steps slowed down, and he looked outside at Zhu Yunxi, who suddenly mentioned his marriage: "The meaning of the palace is that it is set one day after the Chongyang Festival, the tenth day of the ninth month." ”

"That won't be a few days. I heard that Zhang's daughter is very good, filial piety and docility, and her temperament is in line with you. Zhu Yunxi counted the days and said softly: "The things over there in Zhongdu have also been done, and they are still beautiful, and they still haven't lost face in terms of specifications." ”

Hearing Zhu Gaochi mention the daughter of the commander Zhang Qi, Zhu Gaochi was a little shy: "I've heard of it too, but I just watched you get married and have children, and I didn't feel much yet." When it really happens to you, it's another matter. It's the one in Zhongdu, and he never thought that you could be so generous. ”

Zhu Yunxi chuckled: "He even asked the Duke of Xin to send me a letter." ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but think of that day, he received a letter from Tang Li's hands from the Imperial City of Zhongdu.

A letter written by Zhu Yunwen to himself.

Under the thin envelope, there was only a piece of paper.

The paper is blank, only the word "thanks".

It's surprising and funny.

Zhu Gaochi's steps were a little faster, and he caught up with Zhu Yunxi, who was walking in front, and the two walked side by side: "What did he say?" ”

Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at Xiaopang and smiled slightly: "He said, try to give birth to a doll before you." ”

A big white eye was given to Zhu Yunxi by Zhu Gaochi intact.

This man will not be able to tell half the truth.

Sighing lightly, Zhu Gaochi discerned the direction and asked, "The tax office still has something to deal with, I have to deal with it." Do you want to go together, or do you want to go to the other place? ”

Zhu Yunxi stopped and waved his hand.

Several palace maids and small chamberlains in the distance immediately quickened their pace and disappeared.

"You still have to keep an eye on the affairs of the tax office, the second uncle is in front of the affairs of the stalls and local officials in Beijing, and the tax office under your command must follow closely and not give the local government a chance to breathe."

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said, "The problem is still that there are not enough people. Tax soldiers only need to select a good family who is not at fault within three generations, and even the most basic tax office in the countryside can also be promoted from the tax soldiers. However, if the person in charge of the tax office of a county is in charge, he still has to be selected and appointed. Just by being promoted from the tax soldiers, the speed is always a little slower. ”

That's the wrong way of thinking.

Zhu Yunxi glanced around, walked towards the steps in the shadow of the palace wall, and sat down.

Then he beckoned to Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi stepped forward and sat down: "Is there a way to do it?" ”

"You still regard the tax office as an ordinary yamen of the imperial court." Zhu Yunxi looked at the little fat who was frowning, and reached out to pat the other party's shoulder: "What was the original intention of the tax office for?" Why does a yamen have to set up tax soldiers? ”

Zhu Gaochi's brows became more and more furrowed.

The original intention of the establishment of the tax office was to weaken the power of the local gentry, cooperate with the apportionment of the mu, and truly control the national tax revenue directly in the hands of the imperial court.

The state does not compete with the people for profit, but it does not allow the local tyrants to control and steal the power and tax profits.

This is the meaning of the existence of the tax office.

The tax collectors who can be equipped with crossbows and even firearms are to ensure that the tax office itself has sufficient force to carry out the original purpose of the existence of the tax office.

So......

Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice: "So, you have never regarded the tax office as a yamen. ”

"The tax office is not a yamen, but a sword in the hands of the imperial court, a sword that cuts at the local gentry and clans who dare to exploit the people and take profits from the imperial court."

Zhu Yunxi's words are sharp, and he points to the essence of the tax office.

Zhu Gaochi was silent.

"The role of the tax office is that whoever dares to take advantage of the imperial court will be killed. This is the biggest and only role of the tax office! ”

Zhu Gaochi sighed lightly: "If that's the case, then the tax office doesn't have any big problems at present." ”

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said: "The supervision system is still indispensable. The tax office has the supervision of the imperial court, and the tax office must also have its own supervision.

The tax bureau should set up an internal tax supervision department to regularly inspect whether the branches of the local tax offices are hidden and whether they are enriching their own pockets.

This year's public examination is about to begin, and you will sort out the statutes, report the required number of people, and submit it to the cabinet for deliberation and approval. ”

That's right.

In the distance, there was a sound of footsteps.

This is very inconsistent with the common sense in the palace these days.

Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi looked at the voice.

The footsteps came from the direction of the Qianqing Palace, and when the owner of the footsteps appeared in front of the two of them, Zhu Yunxi and the others realized that it turned out to be Sun Gou'er, the chief manager of the twenty-four yamen of the inner palace.

Zhu Gaochi whispered beside Zhu Yunxi: "Why did Sun Daban get here?" ”

Sun Gou'er was also a little surprised, His Royal Highness Taisun and Yan Shizi had already left the Qianqing Palace, but they didn't want to meet them here.

He immediately stepped forward with the little attendants behind him: "The slave maid has seen His Royal Highness and has seen Yan Shizi." ”

Zhu Yunxi glanced at it, and saw that Sun Gou'er's posture seemed to be about to leave the palace, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sun Daban is going out of the palace?" ”

Sun Gou'er nodded, and even directly stated the reason for the incident: "Your Majesty has a will, and the pedestrian department will spread the news of the court and publish the newspaper." His Majesty gave Pan Deshan, the Minister of the Governor of the River, the title of Secretary of the Ministry of Processing. ”

Zhu Yunxi was slightly stunned, glanced at Zhu Gaochi sideways, and saw that the other party's eyes were really the same surprise.

"Your Highness, if there is nothing to do, the slave and maid will go to preach first."

Zhu Yunxi blinked and nodded: "Sun Daban will go by himself." ”

"The slave and maid are gone."

When Sun Gou'er led people all the way out of Fengtian Gate, Zhu Yunxi turned his head to look at Zhu Gaochi beside him.

He couldn't help laughing: "Look at it, this is our imperial grandfather." In addition to teasing Sun, when was the affairs of the court really left behind? ”

Zhu Gaochi was a little funny: "But Wang Jun is afraid that he won't be able to sleep today." ”

"That's his stupidity." Zhu Yunxi directly criticized a scholar in the court: "If it weren't for the balance of the court, it would be the farce at the noon gate, and he would have to eat and hang." He couldn't escape the involvement of the bones of hundreds of officials in the back.

It is because the imperial court wants to be stable, there must be different voices, and it will not let any one side dominate, so that he is retained.

He didn't even know about the replacement of the naval warship with new artillery, how stupid it was, and the emperor's grandfather didn't think he was guilty of dereliction of duty, so he was spared lightly. ”

Zhu Gaochi smiled, after such a big turmoil in the imperial court this year, it is no longer a big deal for a scholar to stay or stay.

He said softly: "So, when the Yellow River is well managed, Pan Deshan will return to Beijing to take up the post of Ministry of Industry?" ”

Now the old man only added the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry to Pan Deshan, the governor of the river, not the actual award, which is the practice of the imperial court to show his trust in a certain courtier.

"If Pan Deshan manages the Yellow River well, he will enter the cabinet after returning to Beijing." Zhu Yunxi did not hide it, and directly said Pan Deshan's future prospects, and then said: "Zhang Ergong will be appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and when the time comes, he will be able to make the best use of it, and the Ministry of Industry will really have the appearance of the Ministry of Industry." ”

"A craftsman, get out of the official, and then sit in the Ministry of Works, the only thing for a thousand years."

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sigh.

But he has a good impression of Zhang Ergong, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, who is always stained with stains and his hands are full of wrinkles.

It seems that such an official is the real official.

……

Balmy autumn day.

When the sun breaks through the fog and warms up the earth, the fields in the south of the Yangtze River that have completed the autumn harvest are layers of flying birds, falling from time to time, searching for rice and insects left in the soil.

A small team, only a few dozen people, marched in the west of Yingtian City without hurrying.

The team left the outer city from the Jiangdong Gate and headed north.

To the north, there is the Longjiang Shipyard near the river.

The original site of Longjiang Shipyard was quite promising, with Yingtian City on the east side and the Yangtze River on the west side. However, there is a piece of river island on the river, which is introduced into the shipyard by the Jiajiang River, and the water flow is not urgent, but the newly built ships can be launched directly into the Yangtze River.

"I remember this smoke, but I never saw it in Longjiang Shipyard."

It is rare to ride a horse, disguised, Zhu Yuanzhang, who concealed his identity, held the reins in his hand, with a relaxed face, and looked at the Longjiang Shipyard not far away, with thick smoke.

Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth and said, "I think it should be a steam warship lighting the stove." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a very good mood, and said catchily: "Zhang Ergong is a capable minister, and the steam engine can drive the carriage on land. I've heard that now he's tossed the one that can pull more goods with a steam engine......"

"Grandpa, it's a train."

Zhu Gaochi reminded in a whisper on the side.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded suddenly and said, "Yes, it's the train." I heard that this Zhang Ergong boasted about Haikou in front of you, the imperial grandson, and he wanted the train to pull 100,000 catties or hundreds of thousands of catties of heavy objects? ”

Boom, boom, boom.

A roar came from the Longjiang shipyard, and the huge roar startled flocks of birds that landed on the wilderness in search of food.

A thick cloud of smoke spread across the river on the northwest side of the Longjiang Shipyard.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "This is the sound of artillery?" ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Today is the last day for Zhang Ergong and them to test the ship, first to test the accuracy of the steam warship on the new artillery, and then to go to the river to walk twice." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang just listened, and his eyebrows were already dancing.

He let out a long snort, and then said happily: "Sharp guns! My Ming Dynasty not only has a territory of thousands of miles, but also a sea frontier of thousands of miles in the future. ”

Zhu Yunxi smiled implicitly.

Where is this?

In the imperial era of the Ming Dynasty, these are not enough.

He said softly: "Grandpa, it's better to go to the shipyard earlier so that you can see clearly." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately nodded: "Go quickly, go quickly!" ”

After saying that, the old man was already in the lead, and rode his horse to the front of the group.

Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi, who were left behind, were shocked and numb, and hurriedly led the forbidden army who replaced the armor stomach to catch up.
