After being silent for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered something and immediately spoke.

"Your plan is to transfer the pressure to the businessmen, which seems to be possible, and it also reduces the pressure on the farmers."

"And, as you say, it also has the effect of preventing corruption."

"Cutting off the possibility of businessmen paying bribes to officials at the source."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Liu Bowen's already calm mood began to rise and fall again.

He was a little unsure, what was Zhu Yuanzhang going to say next?

When he was speculating about the holy will, he suddenly heard Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning.

"Merchants have always been treacherous, how do you prevent them from concealing and underpaying taxes?"

"I also agree with what you said, it is indeed impossible for a businessman to rise up and make big waves."

"However, now you have to use the industrial and commercial tax to solve the problems caused by the clan."

"If you can't receive the business tax on time and truthfully, what's the use of your strategy?"

"On paper? The end result is still the same! ”

"The financial pressure has not improved, but the vigorous development of commerce has improved the status of businessmen."

The more Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the more angry he became, and in the end, his tone became extremely cold.

"Are you complaining about the merchant, or are you fooling me?"

"I asked if you thought about it, if you didn't think about it, just say it, you are fooling me like this, do you put me in your eyes!"

Liu Bowen was frightened, but he didn't expect the heart he had just put down to hang again.

He secretly said in his heart, it is really not a good errand......

Zhu Yuanzhang's posture seemed to grasp his mistakes and immediately wanted to clean himself up.

It can be said that it is unreasonable to find fault.

But he couldn't say anything.

He immediately said, "Wechen is incompetent, failed to satisfy His Majesty, and it is Wechen's fault to lose His Majesty's trust." ”

Seeing him like this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't say anything.

So, he waved his hand and said angrily, "Go down!" ”

Liu Bowen didn't talk nonsense, and immediately retreated, only to say that the holy will was unpredictable.

But I didn't know that this was all deliberately made by Zhu Yuanzhang, just to deter him, the first adviser of the Ming Dynasty!

The other side!

Liu Bowen walked out of the Fengtian Palace, and sighed in his heart, it is really a companion like a tiger, and the holy will is unpredictable!

Just as he was thinking like this, he met Li Shanchang who was walking towards him.

Li Shanchang also saw Liu Bowen at this time, he only needed to say hello, and went directly to Zhu Yuanzhang, but when he saw that the other party had just come out of Fengtian Hall and his expression was not quite right, he stepped forward to ask.

"Uncle Chengyi, I see that your face is ugly, are you in trouble?"

When Liu Bowen saw Li Shanchang, he suddenly felt a faint feeling of unease.

He felt that it seemed that His Majesty had deliberately targeted himself just now, but it was not just aimed at himself.

So, he kindly reminded, "Xuan Guogong, pay more attention to your people recently." ”

After speaking, Liu Bowen left.

Li Shanchang was stunned in place, savoring Liu Bowen's words.

"Is it ...... when he says this?"

Li Shanchang glanced at Fengtian Temple, as if he had thought of something, and immediately turned back to the house.

……

Inside the Fengtian Temple.

After Liu Bowen left, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to review the recital, but his brows became tighter and tighter.

At this time, the prince walked in and asked: "Your Majesty, it's almost dinner time, do you want to pass the meal?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang directly threw out a piece of music and said, "How can you still have the heart to eat now?" ”

The prince was frightened and immediately knelt down, not daring to talk.

"These hateful courtiers, boasting of their military exploits, dare to play with me?"

"Do they think that if they slander each other, I will believe it?"

"Especially this Hu Weiyong, who thinks that he can please me in all directions, so he attacks the minister who is against him, is he blind to me?"

"Wait for me, I will never let these courtiers overwhelm the standard!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the prince, "You go and tell the prince, now come with me to find Mr. Yang." ”

"By the way, you can prepare some good wine and meat."

The prince didn't dare to delay, and immediately got up and retreated.

After the prince left, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger eased slightly.

When he thought of Zhu Biao, he couldn't help but sigh, "Biao'er, how can you reassure your father?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang knew in his heart that these ministers had followed him all the way to kill, and everyone had outstanding military merits in their hands.

These people really used their skills when fighting, but now that the world is calm, they are a huge threat to the crown prince.

"I can still hold them down now, but Biao'er is so cowardly, hey......"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, and his face was gloomy.

……

On the way to Xinghua Village.

In the carriage, very quiet.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright, closed his eyes and recuperated, with a solemn expression.

Zhu Biao sat aside, observing Zhu Yuanzhang from time to time.

He saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was wrong, and he was silent, and he didn't dare to ask more.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.

He thought that Liu Bowen had already put forward a plan, and if Liu Bowen's plan was announced, it would allow him to enhance his prestige among Wenchen again.

However, this is very disadvantageous to the imperial power, and the same is true for Zhu Biao.

Not only Liu Bowen, but also those who had meritorious service before would feel honored, which was also a threat to Zhu Biao!

Even if Zhu Biao is studying with Yang Yun now, after all, his qualifications are shallow, and he can't be compared with Liu Bowen and others.

From this time alone, the strategy proposed by the two can be seen.

is also listening to the class, Liu Bowen understood from Yang Yun's words, and what he realized was far more profound than Zhu Biao.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang was impatient to bring Zhu Biao to Yang Yun.

wants Yang Yun to give Zhu Biao some guidance, so that he can help Zhu Biao Liwei.

Because Liu Bowen had already put forward a plan, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care too much, and didn't even greet Yang Yun in advance, so he hurried over.

At this time.

Yang Yun's home.

Liu Mu put down the book, and then said to Yang Yun, "Sir, it's almost time, I'm going to cook, right?" ”

Yang Yun said, "Don't worry, you go to the post station first and ask Lao Liu, have you seen my new book arrive?" ”

Liu Mu responded immediately, and then turned to leave.

Not for a while.

He heard footsteps outside the door and muttered, "Komaki brought back the new book so quickly?" ”

Yang Yun happily came out to greet him.

However, when he opened the door, he heard another familiar voice.

"Mr. Yang, how did you know that Biao'er and I were here? What a man of God! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was also surprised, but he thought that Yang Yun had the ability to predict the future.

Therefore, you can open the door to yourself when you are just about to knock.
