Fengtian Temple, inside the side hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and took Zhu Xiongying's hand. Zhu Biao sat opposite, the three of them sat around a small collapse, and on the table were the books written by Zhu Xiongying last night, although there were only nineteen, but these books could at least be matched until the completion of the Sixth Five-Year Plan of the Ming Dynasty, and at least the Ming Dynasty would be strong for thirty years.

The past 30 years have allowed Daming to stand at the top of the world's powers for a long time.

took a sip of wolfberry water, Zhu Xiongying peeled the walnuts by himself, and while throwing the walnut kernels into his mouth, Zhu Xiongying said: "Grandpa Huang, this wolfberry eight-treasure tea, if you drink too much, it will get hot, don't ......."

"It's a pity that we don't have a big ship that can sail to the open sea, if there is, I will personally lead the fleet to the United States to help you find the mountain ginseng over there, the mountain ginseng over there is cold, sliced to make tea and drink, and it is not hot."

After swallowing the walnut kernel in a few bites, he picked up the kiwifruit sent by Hubei like a little monkey, and said seriously: "Grandpa Huang, don't look at this kiwi although it looks ugly, this peach is rich in nutrients, and it replenishes physical strength, you and your father, and the imperial grandmother should eat more." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and helped Zhu Xiongying peel the walnuts and nodded again and again.

Zhu Biao took away a kiwi fruit, took out a book under the kiwi, and asked, "Xiongying, these books you wrote are really taught by the immortals in your dreams?" ”

Zhu Xiongying's cheeks bulged, like a squirrel, and he said while eating: "It is necessary!" Grandpa, Dad, do you remember the most important thing I just said? ”

Zhu Biao's wide round face showed helplessness, and sighed: "Remember, unified currency, gold standard issuance Jiaozi, you have said this sentence not ten times, but eight times, how can we and your imperial grandfather not remember." ”

Zhu Xiongying patted his chest, rolled his eyes and said: "That's good, Dad, you have to know that you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, Jiaozi has existed since the Song Dynasty, and the former Yuan issued Jiaozi indiscriminately, resulting in currency chaos and financial crisis. ”

It's a very important thing.

The taxes of the former Yuan were actually relatively light compared to the Ming Dynasty.

Without him, most of the landlord class in the First Yuan Dynasty were Mengyuan nobles, either monks and monks, or wealthy businessmen, ordinary Han people could not afford to pay taxes, and pigs and dogs were inferior.

The Ming Dynasty inherited the Yuan system, the land Silk Road that was mainly used for business was not opened, and the sea route did not have the conditions now, resulting in the difficulty of selling various handicraft goods in the country.

If the economy is not good, the natural taxes will be heavy, and the burden on the people will also be heavy.

This makes it all the more important to pay attention to monetary policy.

It is actually normal for the former yuan to have a monetary financial crisis.

The Mongols handed over their country to a group of lucrative Semu merchants, each of whom had their own little abacus, not to mention the various scripts used in the Yuan Dynasty, but also the currency, there was a Ba Si Pa currency, a Chinese currency, and a color currency that could be communicated with each other, and then there was no authoritative currency, and the central government of the Yuan Dynasty could only send Jiaozi to hit the financial bubble.

To put it simply, the demand for copper coins and gold and silver needed by the common people is extremely high, but the Yuan Dynasty government can't take out so much gold, silver and copper coins, so it has to use Jiaozi to offset it, but Jiaozi has to be linked to gold and silver, which is the so-called gold standard.

There are too many Jiaozi prints, and the dogs are disgusted.

Zhu Xiongying took another sip of wolfberry water, to be honest, the uprisings in various places in the early Ming Dynasty belonged to a lot in the ancient feudal dynasties, not only in the north, Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, but also in these southern regions.

This has a great deal to do with the tax policy of the Ming Dynasty, the tax cannot be collected, the country has no money, and the tax is heavy, which is a dead cycle.

At the beginning, in order to stabilize the overall situation of the world, Li Shanchang suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang collect the former Yuan officials, why did many cities surrender? First, the Ming promised to protect the interests of their existing gentry class after surrendering, these people are not only the landlord class and merchants, but also many monks and monks, and the Ming also pinched their noses and admitted that they let out the usury rents, and recognized the slaves they kept in captivity, otherwise the Ming would not be able to pacify the world so quickly.

The crux of the initial problem is not obvious, and when the country's policies are gradually implemented as the world is peaceful, these resistance at the bottom will become more and more serious. Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he didn't have a good impression of these people who exploited the people, and when Daming could withdraw his hand and start to solve these people, they began to resist again.

This is also the reason why secret religions are rampant everywhere in the Ming Dynasty and disasters are everywhere.

The common people at the bottom have no choice, they are just the dust of the times, carried by the squire class and the Buddha-headed Taoist......

Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at each other, and Zhu Biao asked again: "Xiongying, you often said before that the age of eight has arrived, what do you mean by this?" We and your imperial grandfather are deeply worried about you. ”

"This ......"

Zhu Xiongying threw two more walnuts in his mouth, clapped his hands, and sighed: "Father, grandfather, in fact, it is because my grandfather Chang's family has a hereditary wind disease, this wind disease is very secret, and I can't usually see it, but once it breaks out, it will kill people, my grandfather died at the age of forty, and my mother was also in poor health when she was pregnant with Yunxi, all because the Chang family had a bad wind disease." ”

"I had a dream of being ordered by the immortals, and this year is the time when I have a wind attack, so the child is trying to maintain his health."

Zhu Biao was calm and generous, and he couldn't help frowning.

He and Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at each other.

In fact, about the hidden disease of the Chang family, after Zhu Yunxi was born, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao knew about it, but they didn't expect this hidden disease to come so quickly, and even threatened the life of the emperor and grandson.

Zhu Xiongying was about to throw a walnut into his mouth, but suddenly his eyes flashed, and he said solemnly: "Oh yes, grandfather, father, don't forget that the imperial examination is very important, not only to be a meritocracy, but also to measure it!" In today's world, those who can afford to read are all rich families, and the poor people can't eat enough, and they can't read a single word, so naturally they can't participate in the imperial examination. ”

"If it goes on like this for a long time, the court will be full of squire seeds, as long as they have a lot of tuntian farming, the younger generations will become big officials sooner or later, and they will naturally face them, these people are corrupt, looting the people's fat and people's cream, thinking of ways not to pay taxes to the court, and they are born to conflict with my royal family."

"This requires us to put the land reform in place, first, to ensure that most of the good families have land to cultivate, second, to avoid meritorious nobles and nobles from greedy for good land, and third, to avoid the emergence of uncontrollable court and literary party, all the good land we can control is divided into Huangzhuang Huangtian, and the land is planted for the good family, and those who can afford to read come to study Wenju, and those who can't afford to read can take the martial arts, and the partial officials also leave a ladder to rise, so as to ensure that most of the good families can see the rising channel, and the country can be stable."

Do a good job in the economy, and then grasp the talent, these two basic plates are held in hand, and Daming can go far.

Officials and gentry don't want to pay taxes and change their ways to evade taxes, which is the limitation of today's times, no way, this Ming Dynasty belongs to your Zhu family, what does it have to do with our officials and squires? In the world, you Zhu Ming royal family has collected so many rents, and it is okay for me to wait for the townsmen to hide a little, who eats and does not eat?

"Putting that aside, is your wind disease really that serious? Let's call the imperial doctor to treat you right away! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang showed tenderness in his eyes, in front of outsiders, he was a great tomorrow and extremely majestic, but in front of Zhu Xiongying, he was just an old man who cared about his grandson.

Zhu Xiongying pouted and shook his head bitterly, and said, "Grandpa Huang, our wind disease is very secretive, and it is usually not obvious, but when it suddenly occurs at that time, the imperial doctor will not be able to see it well." ”

"But ......"

Zhu Xiongying suddenly changed her childishness, and glanced at the outside with a solemn look.

"Grandpa Huang, you have to pay more attention to the body of the imperial grandmother, now the harem is dominated by her, if she has three long and two short, the harem will lose its honor, it will definitely set off a storm......"

"I heard that Zhu Tan, the king of Lu, was placed by the Northern Yuan spies and placed a few internal servants, this matter is not trivial, grandfather, my emperor Ming Chengtian has been founded for fifteen years, although most of the south is stable, but the north is surging, such as the second uncle, the fourth uncle, and a few uncles who will go to the north to divide the Lu Di Daidi, I am afraid it is not so good."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao both frowned heavily.

Zhu Xiongying didn't say a word, if the imperial grandmother can't survive this year, then the power center of the harem will most likely be transferred to his stepmother Lu's side, because it is impossible for the imperial grandfather to establish another queen.

At that time, the stepmother Lu family is unintentional, and the forces behind her will also begin to make waves, and the stepmother Lu family has been cultivating and reading heirlooms for generations, after the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties, it is still an ancient family, although it is not as huge as the six surnames and seven hopes in the Tang Dynasty, but the energy and power behind it are not small.

The stability of the harem has always been a barometer of the court.

After thinking about it carefully, the reason why Zhu Xiongying died early at the age of eight in his previous life was not because he was suffering from the sudden outbreak of the Chang family's genetic disease, then there is a high probability that it was because Queen Ma was not in good health and the power imbalance in the harem was imbalanced......

After all, Zhu Yunxi is not in good health, his words are not good, and he died early, so the only one who can gain power is Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Xiongying pursed his lips and his eyes flickered, it was the Lu family who was more relaxed in his heart, if it wasn't for the Lu family's hands, but the forces behind it, this would be even more terrifying. Daddy Zhu Biao is famous for being good at admonishment, and was taught by Song Lian to be knowledgeable and reasonable, extremely respectful of Confucianism, Zhu Yunwen is five years old, but it can also be seen that he is a small reading seedling, and he will be fooled by a scholar in the future, a proper "model of benevolence", the black hand behind it, has the ability to lay out the two generations of the Ming Dynasty, and the yin moves are matched with the yang scheme, which is too terrifying.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him meaningfully, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, how can there be any Northern Yuan spies, it's just some lost dogs who are ruined and ruined, and they bark wildly......"
