Zhu Di just snorted coldly at this time, looking at these weak-hearted Hanlin, at this time, in fact, he couldn't talk about it.

After all, Zhu Di is not the original Zhu Yunwen, so he doesn't have too high expectations for these so-called Hanlin who were born as scholars, but when he sees the ugliness of these people, he can't help but feel a little angry.

Naturally, what angered Zhu Di the most was not only this, but that a mere Jiangxi political envoy, the hidden household was rampant to such a point, if even the people of the household could not be true, then the foundation of the entire Ming Dynasty was actually just empty talk.

The foundation of household registration lies in taxation and forced labor, and even includes the status of the acres of land controlled by the household registration, not to mention, the recruitment of soldiers.

In other words, all the decrees of the imperial court, in essence, are actually formulated according to the situation of the household registration, and once this foundation is not even deep, then the so-called governance is simply empty talk.

The concealed hukou does not have to accept any obligations and does not have to pay taxes, which inevitably imposes these obligations and taxes on the hukou people in the control of the imperial court, which will naturally not only increase their burden, but also, in a sense, make more people inclined to exile.

And what's even more terrifying is not this, but that such a thing as hiding a hukou is by no means something that ordinary people can do, from the local government, down to the local chief and the chief, all the people up and down, in essence, any link must be one of them.

Even above the temple, I am afraid that there are many people who are well aware of such a situation.

Can be ......... These things...... It is impenetrable, everyone knows it, but no one is willing to say it, and no one dares to say it.

Of course, Zhu Di knows that among them, it may not be that everyone gets benefits, and not everyone is unaware of the harm of this matter, but even people who live in high temples dare not talk about this matter, so ...... What are they afraid of?

What other power is more terrifying than Zhu Di, the son of heaven?

Even if it is a holy decree, it cannot be respected by everyone.

Even if it is Zhu Di's will, there are still people who dare to refute it, and even dare to refute it with righteous words.

However, for this obvious phenomenon, everyone has become blind and deaf.

At this time, Zhu Di gave birth to a strong sense of boredom.

He had been wrestling with these people for many years, and his heart was tired.

Looking at this Hanlin one by one, send these people out, it's best in this life, he doesn't want to see him again!

But...... It is easy to kick these people away, but how to solve the current affairs has become an urgent need of the moment.

Zhu Di sat upright, his face was gloomy, and then he looked up at Xie Jin and the others.

He also had a lot of complaints about Xie Jin and the others, because these scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion did not dare to mention this matter.

And on the contrary, it doesn't matter if Xie Jin doesn't talk about it, but at least Yang Rongren and others are loyal to him, and they never mention it to him.

If it weren't for his grandson's political envoy in Jiangxi, because of the operation of the railway, touching this matter, Zhu Di realized that the problem of hidden households was so serious, I was afraid that the current Zhu Di would think that this was just a problem of ringworm, and the hidden household was only one-tenth of the world's household registration.

The more Zhu Di thought about it, the more he felt bad, he pursed his lips and was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "The problem of the hidden household is so terrifying, what do you think?" ”

Xie Jin was obviously aware of His Majesty's mood at this time, looking at His Majesty's gloomy face, it was impossible for them to have no anxiety and fear in their hearts.

To tell the truth, if he Xie Jin was fooled like this, I am afraid that he will also turn the sky upside down, after all, he is already very mature, at this time, he did not want to kill, but patiently asked about the situation, which shows that His Majesty has enough patience as he grows older.

Xie Jin worked hard to calm down, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, when the minister was in Java, he also encountered such a situation, but many people arrived in Java, and there were also many people who concealed their household registration, but Java is good, it is just an island, and there are barbarians around, if you hide your household registration, you are not under the jurisdiction of His Royal Highness King Zhao, and you are among the natives, and it is difficult to survive." But even so, there are still people who take risks! ”

In the face of such a situation, there are special officials in the household division of Zhao Wangfu, who are responsible for the situation of household registration, and conduct an inventory every three or five times to ensure that nothing goes wrong...... I thought it was ...... We might as well take this opportunity to conduct a general inventory of the provinces and find out the general situation first. ”

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, he frowned, as if he was thinking and measuring something, but after thinking about it carefully, he could only take a solution for the time being.

He closed his eyes, and then continued to say slowly: "First make a stern decree, apply for the officials of all prefectures and counties in the world, especially the three divisions of the provinces, and even more strictly, first let them have a sense of fear, and then order the provinces and prefectures and counties to carry out a strict investigation, the officials of the world, when the Yongle Dynasty is more cunning than Emperor Taizu Gao, it is even more ......."

When Zhu Di talked about Emperor Taizu Gao, many people couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

In this context, when it comes to Zhu Di's dearest and beloved father, this is actually a naked threat.

When everyone became more and more uneasy, Zhu Di continued: "But since I ascended the throne, the officials I killed were far inferior to Emperor Taizu Gao. It can be seen that I have been appeased by my ministers. I am so gracious, how can you repay me? He deceived the superiors and subordinates, and the household registration system was corrupted to this point. From today onwards, the officials of the world immediately began to find out the household registration of their own prefectures and counties, and if there is still slackness, they will not be spared. ”

Xie Jinren and the others wrote it down honestly.

Zhu Di said: "This matter must be handled urgently, not only must an order be issued, but also the officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate must also select and send inspectors to all prefectures and counties in the world to investigate, and I must ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Xie Jin and the others: "Obey the order." ”

Zhu Di took a deep breath, he was very patient today, after all, although there was news that taught him to be angry, there was also good news from his grandson.

But at this time, he really didn't have the mood to continue to face these people who made him upset. So Zhu Di immediately said: "Stand down." ”

The scholars retired one by one in silence and returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, and everyone sighed.

Zhang Anshi is okay, this matter has nothing to do with him, no matter how he settles the account, he can't count his own head, but other people have begun to prepare to draft their will.

His Majesty's tone is so severe, then this will must also be filled with a murderous atmosphere, and it must show His Majesty's determination to break the cauldron and sink the boat, after all, every word of the holy decree must be accurate, otherwise, the next three divisions and states and counties will not be able to understand its meaning.

Therefore, the text of the holy decree requires euphemism, after all, the emperor's will is always difficult to shout and kill on the surface, but it also needs to let people understand the true meaning and know the power, so ...... This must be accurately grasped by the edict and the scholars, and the slightest carelessness, even if it is a word difference, there may be ambiguity.

In general, it is the Hanlin who is waiting for the edict to draft a decree first, and then send it to the scholars for inspection, and after the scholars have been deleted several times, they are then submitted to the palace for sealing, and then promulgated by the General Administration Department.

Zhang Anshi couldn't understand why Wenyuan Pavilion attached so much importance to the drafting of the will, he only looked at the literal meaning of the will, as for the original intention in the will, it was really difficult for him.

Therefore, for a full day, Zhang Anshi just went to drink tea in the study of Wenyuan Pavilion alone, but Zhang Anshi himself was not without thinking, because he himself was thinking about one thing, and immediately, after the next duty, Zhang Anshi hurriedly went home, but ordered Zhang San to follow: "Go to the post office...... That Humu called. ”

It's rude to call him by his first name.

But if it's Zhang Anshi, then it has nothing to do with politeness.

Hu Mu occasionally went to the palace to report some matters to Zhang Anshi, so now he is also familiar with Zhang Anshi.

Many times, when encountering difficulties in the advancement of work, Zhang Anshi can always occasionally make surprising words, but he can make Hu Mu's eyes suddenly brighten, and he has the feeling that the mountains and rivers are suspicious, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

Therefore, Hu Mu now admires Zhang Anshi so much that he throws himself to the ground.

The most important thing is that he has now devoted himself to the affairs of the postal department, personnel, finance, rewards and punishments, business, all of which are from scratch, accumulating experience bit by bit.

Fortunately, the progress of the matter is still smooth, the postal department, after the treatment and reward and punishment system is prepared, everyone is willing to work hard, so although there will be some omissions occasionally, overall, it is satisfactory.

Hearing Zhang Anshi's summons, where did Hu Mu dare to slack off, he was busy putting down the work at hand and hurried to the palace.

Although he was familiar with each other, Hu Mu still saluted respectfully when he saw Zhang Anshi: "Your Highness." ”

Zhang Anshi glanced at him: "You know that this king has never been polite and polite, so you don't need to be polite, come, sit down and talk." ”

Zhang Anshi immediately smiled and said, "Pour him tea." ”

Zhang San on the side hurriedly poured tea for Hu Mu.

Zhang Anshi's attitude was relaxed, but Hu Mu was not at all relaxed.

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "The post office is here...... Has the business started? ”

"It's already started." Hu Mu paused, and said: "Now there are more than 3,000 post stations in the world, almost all of them have been cleaned up, and the personnel have been prepared, and then there is the railway department, which has also been contacted, in addition, there are waterways everywhere, and the checkpoints everywhere have also been sorted out...... Then there is every post station, and a number of kiosks have been set up at the bottom, which have also begun to be in place. ”

After thinking about it, he continued: "As for the state capitals...... The need for the postal exchange, but it will take some time, but the lower official thinks, this is not in a hurry for the time being, the so-called people do not stand without faith, after all, this bill of exchange involves money, want to make people believe in the credit of the bill of exchange, not three or two days can be solved, you need to start with letters, and so that people believe in the credit of the postal department, before anyone is willing to send the package, and when the package can also be foolproof, the business of the bill of exchange, can be launched, so the lower official is now focusing on the business of letters, which is the foundation of winning the trust of the people. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "There are priorities, your thinking is not wrong, the military and civilian people in the world, especially those in the countryside, they are cautious and conservative, careful everywhere, if you want to win their trust, how difficult it is, start with the letter, even if the early stage is not for the purpose of winning big profits, but as long as there is credit, then ...... There is no way to go against it. ”

Hu Mu smiled and said: "There is also a newspaper kiosk, the newspaper kiosk goes deep into the township, which can not only sell newspapers, but also be responsible for the contact of the post station, and can also make it convenient for people to deliver letterheads, but ...... The lower officials thought that the newspapers sold in this newsstand were too simple, and if there were other books, it might be more advantageous. ”

Zhang Anshi lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, before he said: "This is the truth, Di Bao readers will read it, but for ordinary people who only barely know some words, they are afraid to read this Di Bao every day, but it is difficult to arouse interest. With opera, there are people who write scripts, and these people ...... Maybe it can be used, you might as well borrow their hands, you can ask to write some scripts or romances, print them on coarse paper, and sell them as supplements. ”

Hu Mu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, and in his mind, he immediately thought of someone coming, and then said, "This...... Can it be sold? ”

Zhang Anshi smiled: "If it is a story about the sale of the Eight Classics, it may be really difficult to say, but the story that is sold some time ago, I heard the story talked about by the princes in the Wenyuan Pavilion, and I don't worry about selling it." ”

Hu Mu said: "I don't know what the story is? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "This king can't remember very clearly, probably a young master and the maid have a relationship, and have a personal relationship with the stepmother, the stepmother and the groom, and the groom and the maid's daughter, etc., you know, this king is not interested in this." ”

Hu Mu: "......"

Zhang Anshi looked at Hu Mu with a strange look and said, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Hu Mu said: "You might as well go down to the official to find someone to make an appointment to try it, try to print some first, and then send it to the newsstands everywhere...... Teach them to sell it first. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "And remember, it is not necessary to print it into a book, but to use the serial method, and also use the format of this Di newspaper, first print a few chapters, in this way, just a few chapters, very cheap, like the Di newspaper, it is enough to sell it for three or five yuan." Not as expensive as books. On the other hand, with serialization, naturally some people look at the front and want to see the back, and the future sales will be guaranteed. ”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi said again: "In addition, in addition to the long story of this serial, you can also ask someone to polish some small stories, which are mixed in...... This paper can be a little shoddy, but ...... But it must be strong. ”

Hu Mu was stunned again, he understood the words in the front, but in the back, he was a little puzzled, so he said, "Why is this?" ”

Could it be that there is any special use?

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "After people finish reading it, they must always make this newspaper valuable, such as ...... Toilet use. ”

Hu Mu: "......"

Well, this answer, he has nothing to say.

In this era, using paper to go to the toilet is also considered a luxury.

However, when you spend money on a newspaper and read the story with relish, it may not be a loss for many people to use it for waste, after all...... Paper costs money.

Hu Mu is a real person, so he didn't discuss much here, and after thinking about it, he said, "How much is the price?" ”

"The cheaper, the better." Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Small profits but quick turnover, as long as you make sure that you don't lose money." ”

Hu Mu said with a little surprise: "Don't you earn money here?" ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "If you can really sell it and sell it well, you still can't make a lot of money?" ”

Hu Mu: "......"

Hu Muben still wanted to continue to seek advice, but he was afraid that Zhang Anshi would think he would be verbose, but he couldn't understand what it meant to make a lot of money later.

Just when he hesitated, Zhang Anshi said with a straight face: "There is one thing that I want to explain to you." ”

Hu Mu immediately dispelled Fang Cai's thoughts, and looking at Zhang Anshi's serious face, he also subconsciously sat up and said, "Please also ask Your Highness to teach." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The post stations and newspaper kiosks below, as well as those errand guards and newspaper kiosk personnel, leave an eye on this king, within their business scope, in this county, in this township, and in the villages where they wander, the number of these people, count them for this king, remember, and make sure to be accurate." ”

Hu Mu said: "Oh, Xia Guan understands. ”

Zhang Anshi was stunned for a moment and said, "Understood, what do you understand?" ”

"This is the negligence of the lower officials." Hu Mu said with a look of shame: "I actually forgot this stubble, at present, the business of our postal department is to benefit all the military and civilian people in the world, if people everywhere don't know geometry, then ...... Inevitably, deviations will occur. ”

"Xia Guan heard that Qixia trading firm, there is a thing, called market research, to sell a thing, you need to find out first, how many commercial houses are selling this thing on the market, how many people have a demand for this thing, and the shops that can sell this thing in various prefectures and counties, so that the pricing of this thing can be predicted, and the future sales of this thing can be grasped."

Hu Mu smiled bitterly: "From the Qixia Commercial Bank, many backbones of the Post Department have been transferred, every time they talk about these experiences of the Qixia Commercial Bank, they are thought-provoking, just the lower official, just the left ear in, the right ear out, it is actually this, not to draw inferences, but now it is still necessary for His Royal Highness to specially remind, I am really ashamed, after the official goes back, immediately mobilize the postal department up and down, and do a good job in this matter, with these numbers, not only to gather together, for the reference of the postal department. ”

After a pause, he continued: "For the postal personnel of all prefectures, counties and villages, after having the address and the name and surname of the person, this sending letter can be foolproof and faster, just ...... It can work wonders! ”

This time...... But it was Zhang Anshi's turn to be speechless.

…………….

I wrote a chapter yesterday and was not satisfied with it and deleted it.

Staying up late to rewrite, this was yesterday, and there is still in the evening.
