Chapter 20: Travel!
Liu Jiu lay on the chair, and after Zhu Lu finished taking the medicine, he stood up.
Zhu Yu looked at Liu Jiu and exclaimed, "Can you walk?" ”
Liu Jiu bit his lip with difficulty and smiled: "Hehe, Your Majesty didn't kill the slaves and maids, just kept this little life to serve you." ”
The criminal law of the imperial court was cruel, and Liu Jiu heard that in addition to peeling the skin and grass, there was also the punishment of Ling Chi, which required more than 3,600 knives, which was much harsher than Ling Chi's eight knives in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
The eunuchs in the palace, if they were seriously injured and fell ill, they would generally be sent out of the palace, and His Royal Highness not only did not replace him, but also found a doctor for him to see a doctor.
Liu Jiu was extremely grateful, there was no prince as good as King Qi in the palace.
I heard that the eunuchs with hard lives are very powerful......... Zhu Yu glanced at Liu Jiu, "In the future, follow Lone, be smarter, if you can't lie, you have to tell the truth, it's really stupid, this will teach you Lonely." ”
"Ah, the slave knows, Your Highness, where are we going?"
Zhu Yu fell into deep thought, he originally wanted to change the treasure money, but he knew that he would be caught by his father.
However, I am also sure of one thing.
The banknotes have indeed depreciated.
Zhu Rong will not run to Zhu Yuanzhang and say things like inflation, everyone knows that this thing is disgusted to wipe their butts, can Zhu Yuanzhang not know?
This Hongwu Emperor's heart is like a mirror!
Because the treasure money is the imperial court as a means to solve today's financial dilemma, it is equivalent to the lesser of two powers, and it is necessary to give a solution to refute it.
Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would only give him a cold look: Don't open your mouth.
Qin, Han and Tang, those ministers who know how to admonish, are all well versed in raising objections and bringing solutions, otherwise, they will not end well.
Zhu Yu wanted to do something.
Liu Jiu stretched out his hand, touched Zhu Rong's arm, and shouted aggrievedly, "Your Highness, don't look at it, King Wu is going back." ”
"Back to the lonely yard."
Zhu Yu said.
Mr. was punished to go to Tuntian, Jiangning County, Dahontang he didn't want to go, Cheng Ri admonished the dogma of the vassal king, the most important task of the kings, in fact, is to learn to become a general!
Zhu Yuanzhang invited a master Ma Zheng to the princes.
Jining Hou, Gu Shi.
At the foot of Zhongshan outside the capital, a heavily guarded school field was built, where the kings could shoot arrows, run horses, and learn how to use soldiers.
In the past two days, Zhu Rong came to the school field, the princes of all the princes had a lot of fun, Zhu Rong and Zhu Li didn't know where to go, Zhu Di found Gu Shi to learn in person, and the little fool Zhu Zi hugged the calf of the sixth brother Zhu Zhen and pestered him like a slug.
Only Zhu Hu sat in the corner.
Zhu Yu walked up to Zhu Lu and competed with him.
Among the princes, the strongest is Zhu Di, Zhu Fan and Zhu Li are slightly weaker than Zhu Di, followed by Zhu Zhen, Zhu Lu and Zhu Zhen.
Empress Ma sometimes sent someone to bring some snacks to the princes.
The vassal kings rode their horses and returned to the city.
Zhu Yu and Zhu Lu held the reins of the horse, and they could see that in front of the noon gate, a man with a disheveled head, his legs were shaking, howling loudly, and the head of the executed official was cut off with a knife.
It was another empty seal official who was caught by the imperial court.
The officials waiting for execution next to him, seeing this scene, stood up and ran, and were caught by the inspector and passed out, and the big knife fell, this time he was really dead.
In those remote places, it took two or three months to be escorted to the capital and beheaded in the noon gate.
Zhu Yan looked squarely at the two officials who had been executed.
When cutting the domain, the ending of the vassal king may not be much better, and I want to improve my status in the court......
Back at the palace, Zhu Rong came to Zhu Biao's Chunhe Palace, and as soon as they met, he asked Zhu Biao to take him to the iron smelting institute in Jinxian, Jiangxi.
"Brother, how do I treat you on weekdays?"
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Rong and said, "Seventh brother, it is difficult to be a minister, it is not easy to be a king, many affairs in the court, if I leave the capital, the people's livelihood plan will be shelved, besides, do you think my father will allow me to leave the capital?" ”
"But I heard that after the Thirteenth Iron Smelting Institute set up an iron smelting officer, the amount still hasn't improved, where is my brother's contribution?"
Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to iron smelting, so he specially set up iron smelting officials.
Whether it is the equipment of a million-strong army, the armed garrisons in various places, or the people's farming and land reclamation, they are all inseparable from iron tools, and in a sense, iron tools are related to the national strength of the imperial court.
The amount of iron smelting has not increased, and perhaps, a group of officials will be brought to the capital for questioning.
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Rong and said: "The amount of iron smelting has not been able to go up, let alone go to the iron smelting station to mess around, if the progress is delayed, it will be dead." ”
At this time, the memory of the previous life occupied Zhu Rong's mind, why the travelers liked to smelt iron, whether it was sugar making, snowflake salt or copying, it was just icing on the cake.
At the lowest level of productivity is iron smelting.
It is an important means of production.
It is the most fundamental policy to solve the depreciation of treasure money!
"If my brother doesn't take me there, then I will come to the East Palace once a day, and I will not be able to eat such a good snack in the East Palace."
………
At this time, in the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a yellow regular dress today, straightening his chest, sitting in front of the imperial case, and he looked up at Zhu Biao.
"What did the prince do when he left Beijing?"
"Back to my father, I saw the book today, after the thirteen iron smelting institutes added iron smelting officials, the amount still did not increase, after the empty seal, the local officials were short, and the son, as the prince, could not be clearly observed in the capital, and wanted to visit Jiangxi Jinxian."
Zhu Yuanzhang once passed on his four-character mantra of governing the country to Zhu Biao.
One of the four characters is "Ming".
Mingcai will not be deceived by traitors, he can think of going to inspect in person, Zhu Yuanzhang is worried about this matter, he also knows why Zhu Biao came, gently put down the song, nodded and said, "You should go." ”
"Father, I want to bring my fifth brother and seventh brother, and my son is the elder brother, who is busy with political affairs on weekdays, and I can teach them just this time."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't show surprise, and he didn't raise his head: "Go, Sanwu, you travel with the prince and the king of Qi." ”
It was Zhu Yan's idea to call Zhu Yu, because Zhu Yan knew that he, the fifth brother, had always wanted to go far away and pick some herbs.
Back in the East Palace, Zhu Biao instructed Yiluan Si to prepare for the car.
Actually, there is nothing to prepare.
At least for Zhu Rong.
He came to the noon gate, the car that had been waiting for a long time stopped in front of the dismount monument, opened the door curtain, Zhu Biao stretched out his left hand, Zhu Hu stretched out his right hand, and pulled Zhu Rong up together.
"Seventh brother, where have you been?"
"Brother, I got some pastries and beef."
Zhu Hu was very happy, "Brother, you can finally leave the capital." ”
"Don't mess around on the road."
Zhu Biao instructed his two younger brothers.
As soon as he rested, Zhu Hu followed the roadside up the mountain to look for medicinal herbs, he was really obsessed with it, not only did he not feel tired, but he was more energetic than staying in the carriage.
The "weeds" in the carriage were piled up more and more, and even the gentle Zhu Biao had an opinion.
On the official road, it is rare to see people passing by, because travel depends on the road, except for merchants, the people usually do not move.
Zhu Biao lifted the carriage curtain, looked out the window, and sighed: "Fifth brother, seventh brother, look at this field, it is still in Jiangnan Province, it is so barren." ”
At this time, the Ming Dynasty's political envoys, sub-guards, according to the inspection of the department, sub-patrol and other institutions have not yet been established, and the local government basically followed the system of the Yuan Dynasty, but changed its name to the government.
The system is not perfect.
The local regulatory power is weak, and a local prefect concurrently holds many positions such as mayor, director of public security, chief judicial inspector, director of urban construction bureau, etc.
So, it can't be managed at all.
Without the imperial court's reminder, most of the people didn't know the season of farming, and they were really so ignorant.
The imperial court set up a position called Si Nong Guan.
The carriage entered Jinxian County, traveled for a while, and finally stopped, where you could see the white smoke permeating the mountains and forests.
Zhu Biao took out two handkerchiefs, handed them to his two younger brothers, and covered his mouth and nose.
Zhu Yu grinned, he was familiar with this smell.
Zhao Li, the newly appointed iron smelting official, saw Che Yuyi approaching, hugged his hands and bowed, and said in a deep voice: "The ambassador of the Chenye Institute, Zhao Yan, I have seen the crown prince and the two princes. ”
