"What does it mean to spend money in vain? This money should be spent! ”

Zhu Han didn't care about Zhu Yuanzhang's black face, but said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, think about your identity, do you think Daming doesn't need you?" It's tiring to look at the work. ”

"You kid, just make excuses for your laziness."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he didn't want to give Zhu Han a chance to speak.

Zhu Han made strong words, and the entire Ming Dynasty was counted as one, and none of them were Zhu Han's opponents.

Simply, after Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded Zhu Han, he directly turned the finger at Zhu Biao: "What are you doing?" Let you come to your uncle to talk about things, and you eat and drink here? ”

“……”

Zhu Biao was very aggrieved, he was hungry before, so he ate some dried meat to pad his stomach, and Zhu Han didn't allow him to eat only meat, and he had to let him eat fruit, so when Zhu Biao ate here with Zhu Han, he habitually mixed meat and vegetables.

This is normal, why does Daddy want to scare me?

Zhu Han saw Zhu Yuanzhang scolding Zhu Biao, whether he was sincere or unintentional, Zhu Han would choose to stop: "Brother, what are you doing?" The standard is with me, so I didn't treat him as a prince! He's my eldest nephew, what's wrong with my eldest nephew eating something at my house? This is not a palace, how can there be so many rules. ”

“……”

Zhu Yuanzhang said that he just wanted to divert the topic and didn't want Zhu Han to reason with him again.

He also came to Zhu Han for dinner.

There is nothing to do in the palace, and the government affairs have been dealt with, Zhu Yuanzhang also feels that there is nothing to do, and it just so happens that Zhu Biao is here, and he also comes over to join in the fun.

As for letting Zhu Biao deal with those nobles in the land annexation, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask, he was worried that he couldn't control his temper and thought that Zhu Biao handled it too lightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang is such a person, he can allow his old brothers to do something that violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty, as long as it is not too excessive, he will not punish him too harshly.

But the problem now is that they rely on the power in their hands to oppress the people, which Zhu Yuanzhang can't bear.

How many years have passed, and you have forgotten that you were once a citizen?

And oppress the people!

Why don't you come to bully me Zhu Yuanzhang!

Love is deep, hatred is keen, those old brothers who once fought the world together, Zhu Yuanzhang treats them as family members, and doesn't want them to go astray, but these people not only don't appreciate it, but they also go down the evil road one by one, and now they have begun to bully the people, can they still have it in the future?

Zhu Yuanzhang hates that iron does not become steel, if he is asked to deal with those martial marquis nobles, he will inevitably go on a killing spree, just when Zhu Han proposed to let Zhu Biao deal with them, Zhu Yuanzhang also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, choosing not to be out of sight and out of mind.

After eating barbecue at noon, and I didn't know where Zhu Han got the beef, Zhu Yuanzhang simply didn't find out, sat on a chair and drank, squinting his eyes and sitting on a recliner basking in the sun.

"Or you kid will enjoy it."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the recliner and said to Zhu Han: "In summer, I went to the grassland to escape the heat, and in winter I enjoyed it in Yingtianfu, and the temperature in your house was about to catch up with summer." ”

After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang still said: "However, I prefer this sunlight, which is comfortable on people, unlike in the house, it is just hot and dry." ”

Zhu Han installed plumbing in his mansion, and when the British Mansion was built, Zhu Han directly demolished the original mansion, and then installed the plumbing pipes under the ground or in the wall, which was very warm.

Not only the main house, but also the rooms where other maids and servants slept were also installed by Zhu Han, mainly to make his life more comfortable.

Zhu Han was also installed in the palace, at the beginning Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Han's plan, a hundred disagreed, what to spend that money for, just burn some coal in the house in winter, there is no need to install plumbing at all, but Zhu Han told him that he would be poisoned by gas or something, Ma Xiuying who listened to it panicked, so he decisively asked Zhu Han to install the plumbing, Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant and helpless.

Later, I experienced the comfort of heating in winter, and then I said that it was really fragrant.

"After a lifetime of fighting, it's time to enjoy it."

Zhu Han didn't give Zhu Yuanzhang anything like 'every one of my silver coins is clean', it doesn't make sense, the whole world belongs to the old Zhu family, and Zhu Han gave up the opportunity to go to the next level, even if Zhu Han wants the moon in the sky, Zhu Yuanzhang will try his best to take it off for him.

Zhu Yuanzhang also wants to enjoy it, but he always feels that now is not the time to enjoy.

Daming still has a lot to do, how can he easily say rest?

Occasionally going out for a day or two of leisure, Zhu Yuanzhang feels very luxurious.

Fortunately, Zhu Han and he live in Yingtianfu, and when they are fine, the two brothers can often meet, drink, chat, and then talk about some naughty things when they were young...... This is the time when Zhu Yuanzhang feels the most comfortable, more comfortable than anyone by his side.

Zhu Han has a very good set of barbecue, he has a complete set of seasonings here, and there are spices from the Western Regions.

What's more important is cumin, this thing is like the soul in the barbecue, sprinkled with cumin and it has a different taste.

Chili peppers have long been introduced to Daming by Zhu Han, with cumin and sprinkled with chili peppers. The spicy fragrance made his mouth relish, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

It's so delicious.

After roasting a few slices of beef, Zhu Han put the best pork belly on the grill, then cut the beef into small pieces, plus the side dishes sent by the servants in the house, and the three of them sat on the table and began to eat.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say it, he had to admit that Zhu Han was the most proficient eater in the entire Ming Dynasty, although the food he made was not exquisite, but the flavor was unique, giving people a bright feeling.

In Zhu Han's place, relaxation is the most important thing, as for eating...... Zhu Han has his own set of methods for serving food, which is to drink and eat vegetables in the early stage, and then come to the staple food after drinking and eating.

For example, a big-bellied man like Zhu Yuanzhang, with all the food in front of him, he can sweep it clean alone.

Drinking, chatting......

If Zhu Biao wasn't here, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang could still joke about some fun things about each other's childhood.

I don't know why, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang both remember each other's troubles very clearly, but when it was the other party's turn to say themselves, it was a hundred who didn't admit it, and said conclusively that the other party remembered wrong, and now Zhu Biao is here, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang can't talk about some things in order to maintain their image as adults, and can only talk about things that adults can only talk about.

"Seventh Five-Year Plan, the quality of our Ming officials is getting lower and lower." Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his head with a headache and said to Zhu Han: "No wonder they, the main reason is that our Ming Dynasty is expanding too fast, and the gap in officials is too big, these newcomers don't seem to know how to be officials, and the written notes are simply bullshit." ”

A bunch of gorgeous rhetoric, Zhu Yuanzhang has a headache when he sees it.

Let's just talk about something? Why do you have to drag anything? When Zhu Yuanzhang was watching the folds, he needed to find one or two key words from a lot of modified rhetoric, and Zhu Yuanzhang's head was big.

Zhu Han was not surprised by what Zhu Yuanzhang said.

It's normal.

Why do scholars have such a high status in Shinong industry and commerce?

Because of the scarcity of readers, although they are poor and rich, it also costs a lot of money to study, and some children from poor families can't even afford to tie their heads, let alone buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Before the Tang Dynasty, reading was monopolized by wealthy families, big families, and nobles, and the imperial examination system was opened up in the Sui Dynasty, and the imperial examination system was carried forward in the Tang Dynasty.

However, after every scholar successfully passes the imperial examination, he becomes a new big family, so it is not easy to study.

Zhu Yuanzhang complained that the level of officials in various parts of the Ming Dynasty is too low, which is also reasonable, it is not easy to be an official, and it takes a long time to accumulate before you can understand the truth of being an official.

As for raising the officials of the Ming Dynasty to a certain height, it is not impossible.

Zhu Han had his own thoughts in his heart, but he didn't say it directly, but asked Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, how do you think the problem raised by your father should be solved?" ”

Zhu Biao didn't expect that Zhu Han would ask himself a question directly, "This...... I believe that a group of generals should be selected from the army, and according to their ranks, they should be placed in the localities, and semi-military management should be adopted for the common people...... Dad, uncle, the militarized management I am talking about, not to make them like sergeants, but to facilitate management, spring plowing and autumn harvest, we all have a detailed work, and then run a school, so that the children of the people can go to school, and then select outstanding students to some important departments of the court for training, more than ten years, we will no longer lack officials. ”

I have to say that Zhu Biao's idea is very good.

However, it is not what Zhu Yuanzhang wants.

Zhu Han said that it may take a long time to study a train, an iron ship, or to change the population of the Ming Dynasty from 200 million to 500 million or 1 billion, and Zhu Yuanzhang can afford to wait, and he is willing to wait.

But Zhu Yuanzhang now lacks capable officials, and it will take a long time to get high-ability officials...... Why did Zhu Yuanzhang come to ask Zhu Han?

After a long period of training, even a pig can grow, right?

"More than ten years, more than ten years...... We want now. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao, "Now that there are not enough officials, what should I do?" ”

"Military generals turn civilian!"

Zhu Biao continued to insist on his own point of view, "This is the most effective method. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted to speak, but Zhu Han said beside him:

"Biao'er, the method you said can solve certain problems, but it can't solve all of them."

"Yes."

Zhu Yuanzhang echoed beside him and said to Zhu Biao: "The place you said may be okay in remote areas or places where the economic proportion is not so heavy, but what we lack now is capable ministers!" You understand what you mean, don't you? ”

Of course Zhu Biao knew what it meant, but how could this kind of thing be solved simply?

"Brother, what Biao'er said is right, it is a very good idea to let the military generals transfer to civilian positions, at least it can solve part of the problem."

When Zhu Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang, he began to praise Zhu Biao again, thinking that what Zhu Biao said was reasonable, and then said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "However, if you want to solve the problem of low ability of officials, the most important thing is to improve their proficiency in handling government affairs, so as to achieve the purpose of efficient office." ”

Zhu Han had already changed his mind to the Hanlin Academy, and he felt that the selection and employment system in the future generations would be better!

"Brother, Biao'er just said that he would change the military general from a military position to a civilian position, and his words reminded me, why don't we hold a refresher class?"

Zhu Han proposed a new solution, which immediately made Zhu Yuanzhang interested, and Zhu Biao also pricked up his ears next to him and began to listen to Zhu Han's thoughts: "I think that the imperial examination is only a system for selecting officials, and it cannot determine their ultimate fate, and the same is true of the facts, why don't we pull out some officials who are not skilled in business, and then go to Yingtianfu for half a year or three months of full-time training, and let the ministers of the court and the central government or you personally teach them, so as to achieve the purpose of training faster." ”

Three months of training is enough.

Zhu Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, if it doesn't work for three months, we will train in batches, for example, you come to teach the officials of the province how to handle official affairs more quickly and conveniently, and the officials of the state government let Li Shanchang, Liu Ji and other prime ministers come, and they can also organize their own study and training after they go back." ”

"This ...... Isn't official business delayed? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that three months was too long: "It's not easy to deal with so many official duties." ”

"Brother, how many things can you do?"

Zhu Han shook his head, "The most important thing in a county is spring plowing and autumn harvest, and the other is the development of commerce and trade...... They can hear the teachings from the court, which is equivalent to showing them the way forward, and it is beneficial to their work. ”

When Zhu Biao heard Zhu Han's words, he agreed very much: "Uncle, you are right, sharpening knives is not a mistake for woodcutters, and learning should be put first." ”

"Okay, let's try the surrounding provinces first."

Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed with Zhu Han's words, and then scolded Zhu Biao: "And you, we let you come to your uncle, we let you learn things from your uncle, not let you come to eat." ”

“……”

Zhu Biao was speechless.

I'm your son, so I deserve to be scolded by you, right?

It's as if you came to Zhu Han for food and drink.

Zhu Han saw Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanding Zhu Biao, and he didn't intervene again, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was just habitually doing this, and he didn't intend to target Zhu Biao, this can be regarded as the way of communication between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, and the matter of the father and son has nothing to do with us.

"Brother Lai, eldest nephew, let's drink."

Zhu Han raised the wine glass, touched it with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, and then said: "Big brother, we are now walking on two legs, and we can allow the people below to slow down, but the foundation must be laid well and solid!" Daming is now equivalent to a high-speed machine, we will make every part of the machine good, fine, what we are doing now, all are preparations, when we Daming this machine is running at high speed, it will be a thousand miles a day! ”

"Generals, civil service is our two arms, commerce and agriculture are our two legs, industry is our backbone, and the people are our heads! When these forces come together and move forward, we will be unstoppable! ”

"Well said!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about anything else, so he recognized a sentence: "The common people are the heads of our Daming, this sentence is good, we must make good use of Daming's head, so as not to go astray." ”
