Chapter 474: Zhu Yunxi, you are so ruthless!
Zhu Yunxi really wanted to move out for a long time, but this time it was just a fuss about the marriage of Chang's cousin.
Of course, he will never agree to the marriage of Chang's cousin and Zhu Yunwen!
If he asks the cousin of the Chang family to marry Zhu Yunwen, what will he do when he wants to deal with Zhu Yunwen in the future, and let his cousin be widowed?
When Zhu Yunxi came to the new palace in the northern suburbs, there were thousands of craftsmen working here.
Although the main building has been completed, the ditches, city walls, flower beds and other facilities are still being built, and the corresponding supporting palaces are not complete.
In order to distinguish it from the Forbidden City, Zhu Yunxi temporarily called this place the North Palace.
At this time, there was only a three-story main hall in the North Palace, plus more than a dozen two-story small buildings used for the office of the yamen.
Originally, all the subordinate officials in the Wenhua Hall were placed in these small buildings according to different departments.
Zhu Yunxi directly renamed the main hall as the Government Affairs Hall, and took charge of all government affairs.
Its subordinate departments are the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Finance and so on.
Except for some overlapping functions with Lao Zhu's six ministries, the vast majority of the rest are created out of nothing, from zero to one.
For example, if there were no such things as the telegraph, the word "electricity" in posts and telecommunications would not exist.
As for the Ministry of Railways, it is an epoch-making product, which completely relies on the steelmaking technology in Zhu Yunxi's mind and the breakthrough of Daming in the field of steam engines.
Otherwise, this is also a department that is completely impossible.
Relatively speaking, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Health, etc., all overlap with the original departments of the Ming Dynasty.
In Daming, education, medical and health care are actually under the leadership of the Ministry of Rites, such as the construction of water conservancy facilities and various government-run workshops are under the management of the Ministry of Industry.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce also grabbed some of the functions of the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Households.
Moreover, Zhu Yunxi will also add departments at will or reduce departments at will because of actual needs.
Therefore, compared with Lao Zhu's side, the department on his side is more complete and optimized.
It is precisely because of these departments that Zhu Yunxi dared to shout out the bold words of letting Lao Zhu return to the harem to nurse the child.
Because as long as he is willing, he can really put Lao Zhu in the air!
Zhu Yunxi's arrival immediately alarmed the young officials working here, and no matter whether they were busy with the work at hand or not, they all put down their work first and came out to greet Zhu Yunxi.
Clear-eyed people know that this new palace is not only the new palace of the imperial grandson, but also a testing ground for the imperial grandson to distinguish himself from the old emperor and create his own team.
As long as they do a good job here, they will be the old ministers of the Qiandi in the future, and they will be unlimited in the new dynasty!
"The ministers welcome His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun back to the palace!"
"Welcome back to the palace!"
"Congratulations ......"
Zhu Yunxi looked at the welcoming scene of hundreds of people, only to feel that all the depression in his heart disappeared, and only endless happiness remained.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this will be our home base from now on!"
"All the decrees of the Imperial Grandson's Mansion will be issued from here, affecting the major policies of the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Now Lone declares that our time has come!"
"Please also ask you to assist Gu to create a new chapter, new prosperity, and new atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty!"
There are many sources of officials in the Wenhua Palace, some of them are talents reserved by Lao Zhu for the crown prince Zhu Biao, some are young and handsome selected by Zhu Yunxi from the nobles, and some are the best people he promoted from the Hope Academy.
However, these people have one thing in common, and that is youth!
The youngest is only in his teens, which is about the same age as Zhu Yunxi, the imperial grandson. The oldest is only in his thirties, and many of them are old people left by Zhu Biao.
The biggest characteristic of young people is that they have dreams, ideals, fantasies, and a desire to make contributions. Only by giving them enough chicken blood, even if there is a pit in front of them, they dare to jump in.
A group of young officials heard Zhu Yunxi's impassionedness
Ang's chicken blood was so excited that he yelled and screamed.
"I am willing to die for Your Highness!"
"We are willing to die for Your Highness!"
Zhu Yunxi was also infected by these young people, and said with a laugh.
"With the assistance of all the kings, why worry about the big thing?"
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Yunxi's meeting with the officials of Beigong began with laughter and ended with laughter.
When Zhu Yunxi returned to the government affairs hall, Gao Ming rushed over with a stack of notebooks.
"Your Highness, these are all folds accumulated in recent days, please hurry up and approve them!"
Zhu Yunxi turned bitter on the spot when he heard this.
"Master Gao, my ass isn't hot yet, can't you wait a while?"
"Besides, I didn't give your cabinet the authority to draft the proposals, and then I approved the red stamp..."
Gao Ming secretly rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"Your Highness, these are all drafted, just waiting for you to approve the red seal!"
"Oooh?"
"Oh!"
"In that case, Lone will be sealed!"
Zhu Yunxi turned into a seal maniac on the spot, stamping hundreds of stamps.
As for the proposals they drafted, he looked at them differently. It seems that it is generally inconsequential, and there have been routine things before, and he just glances at it and stamps it. Only new things, things that he had not encountered before, would he take a few more looks, and sometimes he would use his pen to revise a few places, and write down the reasons for the revision, and give them to Master Gao and others for review.
Only when they are sure that it is correct, will his side stamp the execution.
The reason why Zhu Yunxi set it up like this is mainly because he is afraid that he will fall into a misunderstanding of thinking and take many things for granted.
For example, a whip law and the gentry pay grain in one, he only knows the general trend of history and knows that this is a good policy, but it is inevitable that there will be deviations in the specific implementation.
Because of the experience of his two lifetimes, and he has never been a child of a family, he doesn't know what means the family can come up with in order to evade taxes and avoid taxes.
For example, in order to evade taxes, the family can transfer the land into a sacrificial field.
This article alone cannot be punished with the existing Da Ming Law.
Because Lao Zhu attached great importance to filial piety when formulating the Daming Law, although this behavior of turning the people's land into sacrificial fields was very chicken-thief, it did not violate the Daming Law, and was even encouraged and advocated by the Daming Law.
Therefore, Zhu Yunxi has no way to deal with these big families, at least he does not have an advantage in legal theory.
Unless through violence, a large number of brocade guards are sent to the local area to assist in law enforcement, and the gentry who do not cooperate are humanely destroyed.
But in this way, what is the difference between him and the Lord of the Heavens?
Zhu Yunxi thought about it again and again, but decided to leave the murder to Lao Zhu. Just tell Lao Zhu how much arable land each county has,
Lao Zhu will do the rest of the tax collection, and he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
Lao Zhu is indeed happy to do this, even Zhu Yunxi didn't let him stretch out his hand, and sent people to keep an eye on those gentry every day, who dared to do anything in the field, he sent two sets of teams of Jinyiwei and Dongchang to kill people.
However, Daming is too big, and Jinyiwei can't take care of it in many places, so he can only start from the Gyeonggi area first.
Zhu Yunxi stamped the seal in the noon hall for an afternoon, and when he was about to get off work, Gao Ming moved a bunch of twists and turns.
"Master Gao, if you still don't let me live, can't you hold off and do it tomorrow?"
Gao Ming's head shook like a rattle.
"Nope!"
"Your Highness, these are matters of urgency, and the sooner they are issued, the better."
When Zhu Yunxi saw Gao Ming say this, he immediately followed the good stream.
"Okay!"
"But put that aside until I've had dinner!"
Gao Ming heard Zhu Yunxi say this, and immediately asked curiously.
"Isn't Your Highness going back to the palace today?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said.
"No return!"
"I won't be back to the palace again!"
"Uh-uh..."
Gao Ming was keenly aware that the imperial grandson might have a conflict with the old emperor. However, thinking of the scene he saw in the Wenhua Hall before, Gao Ming felt that this was a good thing. At the very least, there will be no rebellion in the Spring and Autumn Period, which can maximize the transfer of power between the old emperor and the new emperor.
"It's okay to save worry and trouble."
"It's just that Your Highness still needs to go back to the palace to visit Your Majesty often, so don't have to be separated from Your Majesty."
"Now the other emperors and grandsons haven't been vassals yet, Your Highness must not be careless."
Zhu Yunxi's face immediately changed when he heard this.
"I almost forgot if you didn't say it!"
"Xu Liuzi!"
"Xu Liuzi?"
"Where did Xu Liuzi die!
Gao Ming's eyes rolled and he pointed in the direction of the telecommunications room.
"Your Highness, Xu Liuzi may be there..."
"What is he doing there?
"This old minister doesn't know, Your Highness might as well go over and take a look..."
The telecommunications room is located in the Government Hall, in a huge room on the west side of the first floor.
However, due to the lack of relevant personnel, Zhu Yunxi has only laid communication lines in a few important cities, such as Songjiang, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, and is responsible for uploading and issuing orders.
Originally, Xu Liuzi didn't like the telecommunications room, and felt that it was annoying to listen to it all day long.
However, since he knew that there was a way to deliver messages here, and that they were doing so very quickly, he came here every day.
"Xiao Wang, send us a telegram!"
Wang Sheng, who was in charge of the Suzhou line, immediately frowned when he saw Xu Liuzi coming again.
"Xu Qianhu, I'm very busy right now, and I still have several urgent documents to deliver, can you wait?
Xu Liuzi immediately took out a silver coin from his sleeve and slapped it on the table with a snap.
This is a standard silver coin minted by Zhu Yunxi, which is equivalent to one or two silver coins in the past.
Because the portrait of Lao Zhu's side face is printed on it, it is also coined by this old man, or grandfather's money.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng hurriedly pocketed the silver coin, and then coughed embarrassedly.
"Trouble Xu Qianhu to write the letter he is going to send on a piece of paper, and I will deal with you after I send this letter."
"It's been written a long time ago!"
Xu Liuzi took out a note from his sleeve on the spot, Wang Sheng opened it and saw that there were only one hundred and ten words on it, and he was secretly relieved.
Compared with the love letters of hundreds or thousands of words before this guy, this time it can be regarded as a conscience.
However, just as Wang Sheng wanted to put the letter away, he suddenly stretched out a hand and snatched the letter from his hand.
"Xu Liuzi to Mrs. Qin!"
"Mrs. Qin is fine, we really miss you. You don't have to worry, I'll send the emperor's grandson to Suzhou in the next few days, and then take the opportunity to meet you."
Xu Liuzi heard that Zhu Yunxi had come out with his beliefs in public, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to swing his sword and kill himself.
What a shame!
If this is spread out, how can he see the brothers of Jinyiwei!
After Zhu Yunxi finished reading Xu Liuzi's letter, he immediately asked with a puzzled face.
"Who is Madam Qin?"
"When did you hook up with a good friend surnamed Qin?"
Xu Liuzi lowered his head and replied shyly.
"It's that Mrs. Qin in Suzhou, Your Highness has seen it..."
"Suzhou.... I'll see you..."
Zhu Yunxi frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly his mind suddenly brightened.
"It's Zhang Tianyou's old friend!"
Xu Liuzi saw that Zhu Yunxi remembered, and immediately echoed.
"Yes, yes.... That's her..."
Zhu Yunxi immediately slapped him.
"It's big for you!"
"Don't you have a daughter-in-law, how can you still hook up with someone's little widow?"
"Back to the emperor's grandson, how many years have the lowly daughters-in-law died.....".
"Uh-uh..."
When Zhu Yunxi saw Xu Liuzi say this, he was a little speechless. However, he had an impression of that Mrs. Qin, and remembered that she was a woman with a very outstanding appearance and good manners.
"Xu Liuzi, it's not that I look down on you alone, Mrs. Qin's vision is not low, can you kid get into the eyes of others?"
When Xu Liuzi heard this, he immediately puffed up his chest proudly.
"How can we say that it is also a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, who follows the imperial grandson every day to protect, and the future is limitless..."
"She's from a lowly background, it's good if we don't dislike her, and he dares to dislike us?"
"Uh-uh..."
Zhu Yunxi was stunned again, because he found that Xu Liuzi was so reasonable.
Now Da Ming is good and cheap, and Zhu Yunxi is not idle and wants to abolish these malpractices.
According to the household registration, Xu Liuzi Jinyi Wei Qianhu, a serious innocent background, is still a military attache of the dynasty. In contrast, even if Mrs. Qin is a little beautiful, coupled with a rich family wealth, she is only a lowly background, and she is really a bit high in terms of status and status.
"How many years have you two been hooking up?"
"Back to Your Highness, since you first went to Suzhou, you hooked up with her in a lowly position.... No, no, no, we got acquainted.....
"We have kept in touch all these years, if you don't rarely go to Suzhou, I guess my son would have ......"
Zhu Yunxi immediately rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"What are you talking about, you can't give birth to a son and still rely on me?"
"If you really have the ability, you should let her follow you to the capital!"
"What kind of ability is it to occupy my government affairs line all day long, and it is good that I didn't cure you of the crime of abusing your power!"
When Xu Liuzi heard this, his heart suddenly became empty, and he lowered his head and rolled his eyes to look at the imperial grandson and whispered.
"Is there something wrong with Your Highness looking for a lowly position?
Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said a little unhappily.
"I can't look for you if it's okay?"
"Come with me and help me do something!"
Anhui Palace.
After Lao Zhu occupied the prince's mansion, he ordered someone to build a palace for Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi.
Like other princes, each person is allocated 10,000 yuan in treasure money.
Unlike other princes, the Daming treasure banknote at this time depreciated further, and it was only worth less than two thousand yuan.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen's Anhui Palace, like other palaces, only built a gate and built the main hall.
As for the internal wings, rockeries, ponds and the like, there is nothing, which is even more shabby than Zhu Gui's palace back then.
Zhu Yunwen was not picky about this, and immediately moved into the new palace with only one main hall after the end of his filial piety.
In fact, Zhu Yunwen was not short of money, and all the property of his mother Concubine Lu and the Lu family was in his name.
Let him take out a million taels of silver, but it is not difficult to take out 180,000 taels of silver to build a palace.
But Zhu Yunwen didn't want to spend this money, as soon as he knew that he wouldn't live in the capital for long, he would soon be kicked out by the emperor's grandfather. Second, he also wants to earn a reputation for himself as an incorruptible person through this incident, so that outsiders can see how much he is treated harshly by the emperor's grandfather.
Although the palace of the king of Anhui was built roughly, the eunuchs and palace maids were still fully equipped.
These things are all under the responsibility of Concubine Guo Hui, even if Concubine Guo Hui hates Zhu Yunwen in her heart, she will not let people pick out thorns in this kind of thing.
Therefore, on the day that Zhu Yunwen lived in the Anhui Palace, Concubine Guo Hui sent a person and others over.
As for whether these palace maids and eunuchs have a place to live, it is not under the control of Concubine Guo Hui, after all, Concubine Guo Hui's own son is still so shabby in repairing the palace, how can she pay for Zhu Yunwen to repair the palace?
On this day, Zhu Yunwen had just laid down when he heard a scream from the yard.
"Someone's coming!"
"Catch the thief!"
Zhu Yunwen immediately put on his clothes and ran out.
"What's the situation?"
"Back to Your Highness, just now the slave maid got up at night, and suddenly saw a figure dangling in the courtyard!"
"The slave suspects that a thief has broken into our palace!"
"Thieves?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at his empty courtyard, there was only one palace, not even a wing room or a warehouse, not to mention that the thieves came over, even if the rats came in, they had to cry with a handful of snot and tears.
"Our palace is in the middle of nowhere, and there is nothing of value, so it shouldn't be a thief..."
"Temple ......"
"Go to sleep!"
Early the next morning, when Zhu Yunwen was still asleep, he heard a commotion in the courtyard again.
"Bold!"
"Who gave you the courage to dare to trespass into the palace of the king of Anhui!
"Get out of here!"
"Hugh wants to obstruct Jinyiwei's case!"
"We, Jinyiwei, have received a secret report that His Royal Highness the King of Anhui has secretly hidden the emperor's crown clothes and is doing witch things!"
Xue Jiu, a thousand households in Jinyi, led people to pretend to rummage over in Zhu Yunwen's yard, and then motioned to a few of his subordinates to walk towards a mound of earth raised at the bottom of the rockery.
The others also came prepared, untied shovels, pickaxes and other things from behind, and dug them up under the rockery in Zhu Yunwen's yard on the spot.
After a short time, several people turned out a huge mahogany box from under the rockery, and took out a set of royal crowns from inside.
"Okay!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Anhui really has a heart of disobedience!"
"The brothers continue to search for anything else that is forbidden!"
Zhu Yunwen saw Jinyi Weizhen search for forbidden things from his yard, and he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground on the spot.
He suddenly figured out that the person who broke into the mansion last night might be someone from Jinyiwei!
Jin Yiwei planted the scorn while trapping it, this is to put himself to death!
"Zhu Yunxi, you are so ruthless, I won't fight with you anymore, why can't you tolerate me!"
