Originally, Zhu Yijun didn't plan to say what he thought in his heart.

But Zhu Yijun thought that Zhang Juzheng was now taking the initiative to take him out of the palace, obviously half of it had the intention of taking the school entrance examination, and half of it had the meaning of temptation.

And he also needs to reassure Zhang Juzheng, so that he is more willing to implement a new policy for himself regardless of everything.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun also took the initiative to say what he thought in his heart.

Originally, there was no need for such a sentence between monarchs and ministers.

But who made him and Zhang Juzheng not only monarchs and ministers, but also teachers and students, and like-minded people on the road to restructuring.

Zhang Juzheng couldn't hide his joy and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

"Sir has good intentions."

Zhu Yijun also replied with a smile.

Zhu Yijun then instructed Sun Long outside the car: "Send someone to ask the price of all kinds of goods." ”

Sun Long said yes.

"Two cents per pound of pork."

"Eggs are five cents per catty."

"Chickens are five cents per catty."

"Light wine is two cents per catty."

"Big barley kills three dollars with one stone."

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Yijun muttered about the prices of all kinds of goods that Sun Long had just come back to report in the treasure car that was slowly moving, and then said to Zhang Juzheng: "I remember that Dongchang reported that pork was two cents and a half cents per catty last year. Eggs are about one cent per catty. Barley also costs five dollars a stone. ”

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "It seems that after the implementation of this new policy, the profits of the world have been transferred to the people, not only have the people's transactions increased, but even the prices of daily goods have dropped a lot. ”

"What Your Majesty said is that in the past, grain and oil were stored in large households, not circulated and wasted, but now they are left in the hands of the people, and the people lack silver and gold, so they naturally have to be traded in the market, so the prices are low and the people are sufficient."

Zhang Juzheng replied with a smile, and said: "Your Majesty knows so much about prices, I guess I have asked my close ministers to inquire, it can be seen that Your Majesty has always paid attention to the people, and it seems that the ministers do not have to take the risk of being blamed by the Queen Mother and criticized by Taiwan, and take Your Majesty out of Beijing to visit the people's suffering." ”

"Sir, you don't have to say that, it's better to hear than to see."

After Zhu Yijun said, he put his hands on his knees and said: "The new deal has lowered prices, even if the people have enough daily necessities, and the government can take advantage of this to buy grain and close the position and prepare for the disaster year." ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded hurriedly: "What Your Majesty said is true!" ”

Zhu Yijun asked Sun Long outside: "Is there any price that is expensive because of the new policy?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the price of people is a lot more expensive, and the price of the fang division to sell servants and maids has been raised."

Sun Long replied outside the car.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun nodded: "The price of people is expensive, presumably there are fewer people who sell their sons and daughters, and to eliminate the trend of slavery, it seems that the root is still rich in the people." ”

After speaking, Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said: "However, this reminds me of what Mr. just said that the wealth of the world has a fixed number, in my opinion, the wealth of the world is not a fixed number. As far as I know, before the Song Dynasty, the rice planted was not Zhancheng rice, and the rice yield was far less than that produced after the Song Dynasty. Therefore, I believe that the wealth of the world is increasing, especially after the great improvement of skills or the emergence of new excellent crops, the increase in the wealth of the world is incalculable. ”

Zhang Juzheng pondered after hearing this, and then arched his hand and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. ”

Zhu Yijun said: "Those who are in power may not only divide the wealth of the world, but also increase the wealth of the world." ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded.

At this time, Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Whale and said: "I heard that there is a high yield of sweet potatoes, and your Dongchang sent someone to inquire, or it can be used for cultivation experiments, and it is expected to increase the world's grain in the future." ”

Zhang Whale said yes.

Zhu Yijun then said: "It's getting hot, let's go back to the palace." ”

"Yes!"

Soon after, Zhu Yijun returned to the palace.

And after Zhang Juzheng sent Zhu Yijun back to the palace, he came to the cabinet.

Lu Tiaoyang and Zhang Juzheng returned to the cabinet, and they also got up and walked over.

"Uncle, what kind of enlightenment does Your Majesty have after leaving the palace and seeing the people in the market?"

Lu Tiaoyang asked first.

"Your Majesty has long been concerned about the welfare of the people, and has already sent the Dongchang official school to inquire about prices, and today when he left the palace, he put forward the idea of increasing the wealth of the world and benefiting the people's livelihood."

Zhang Juzheng saw that Zhang Siwei didn't come, so he smiled bluntly: "In fact, with the qualifications of today's son, you can be pro-government, and when you heard that Your Majesty thought that the price of goods is low, the government can prepare for disasters, and even have the intention of returning to your hometown." ”

"Although Your Majesty is already in power, the hundreds of officials in the world who don't know the details still can't know Your Majesty."

"What's more, uncle, you can't be a leader at the moment, and if the new deal is without you, it may not be conducive to the continuation of the new policy. After all, His Majesty is not weak yet, and he can't reassure the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces. ”

After Lu Tiaoyang finished speaking, he handed over a few chapters: "Look, impeaching your chapter, the new deal to criticize the chapters has arrived." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng's face suddenly sank: "The servant will take it home to see it first, and go to the Ministry of Industry by the way." ”

Lu Tiaoyang said: "Okay! ”

Zhang Juzheng also left the cabinet with the chapter and came to the Ministry of Industry.

As soon as Zhang Juzheng arrived at the Ministry of Industry, he came to the duty room of Guo Chaobin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Guo Chaobin was surprised and said, "Why did Yuanfu come here?" ”

Zhang Juzheng told Guo Chaobin that the appearance of Zhu Yijun's Quyuan plough and Zhancheng rice had greatly increased the world's grain, but he didn't say that Zhu Yijun said it, but only said what he thought of.

After hearing this, Guo Chaobin also pondered: "Yuanfu's idea is really a different way, but it can also be regarded as a pragmatic way. ”

Guo Chaobin looked at Zhang Juzheng as he spoke, and asked: "With the meaning of Yuanfu, is it to ask the Ministry of Industry to also pay attention to the improvement of the skills of hundreds of craftsmen?" ”

"That's right, that's exactly what the servant meant."

"This dynasty can now take the benefits of foreign countries in the world since the opening of the sea, and the wealth of Kyushu has increased sharply, which is related to the fact that the skills of this dynasty are stronger than those of the neighbors."

"As far as the servant knows, the craftsmen of this dynasty are restricted and exploited by the system of this dynasty, so that many people flee. Therefore, the servant is wondering whether he should abolish the system of craftsmen and make them free to increase his income for himself, and he is also willing to improve his skills to make more money, and he is not willing to run away and become a craftsman again. ”

"In this way, it is undoubtedly conducive to the improvement of the skills of craftsmen in our dynasty, and the scale of craftsmen can not be reduced due to the meager income of craftsmen."

"And when the imperial court needs craftsmen, they can recruit them with silver money for the profits of the official camp and the land endowments they donate."

After Zhang Juzheng spoke, he asked Guo Chaobin: "I don't know what the public thinks?" ”

Guo Chaobin suddenly got up and bowed to Zhang Juzheng: "Yuanfu Gong is loyal to the country, and what is even more rare is to think of the difficulty of craftsmen!" ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly, he couldn't say that it was the Son of Heaven who reminded him and made him realize that he should make some changes to further improve social productivity, especially to improve production technology.

Guo Chaobin, as a pragmatist who did not hesitate to personally go from Beijing to Shandong for several months to investigate in order to control the river, saw that Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant who was deeply trusted by the Son of Heaven, was willing to abolish the craftsman household system in order to facilitate the development of technology, so he naturally agreed very much, so he said: "As long as the artisan households are restored as ordinary people do not need to be attached to the government, the skills of the hundred craftsmen will naturally improve faster, but in the future, the cost of official construction and renovation will be shared by the people of the world, or by the people of the gentry and gentry of the world." ”

"It can also be shared by the people of the world, the gentry and the country."

Zhang Juzheng said.

Guo Chaobin understood after hearing this: "What does Yuanfu mean to further open the sea?" ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded.

Zhu Yijun said that Daming's words about the inflow of wealth into global trade due to technological superiority obviously inspired Zhang Juzheng, so that Zhang Juzheng began to play the idea of further opening up the sea, and also began to put the vision of the ruling world on the whole world.

Guo Chaobin laughed: "It's that the lower officials don't think as far-reaching as Yuanfu, but no matter what, it's better than a craftsman alone, otherwise the ordnance will always be shoddy, although it saves money, it is not conducive to border defense." ”

That's exactly what happened. Then please play the public title book. ”

Zhang Juzheng said.

Guo Chaobin agreed.

After ventilating with Guo Chaobin and abandoning the craftsman registration system, Zhang Juzheng returned to his mansion.

"Father!"

As soon as Zhang Juzheng came back, Zhang Jingxiu greeted him.

As soon as Zhang Juzheng saw Zhang Jingxiu, he ordered: "Send him the two orchids sent by Qi Yuanjing!" ”

Zhang Jingxiu was quite surprised, but he still agreed, and asked, "How should the child explain the reason to him?" ”

"How else to say it, just say that he is in the emperor's heart, and he is also the prime minister of Jizhou, you should know that it was the Son of Heaven who gave him all this, not the father!"

After Zhang Juzheng said, he said: "Zhang Whale is not Feng Bao, this person obviously tells His Majesty everything!" ”
