Chapter 243: Stupid Brother

Saving lives depends on seeking medical advice, not seeking any medicine king Bodhisattva.

Zhu Di, the son of heaven, is quite materialistic.

Xu Jingchang was quite pleased.

Zhu Di looked at Xu Jingchang with a smug look on his face, and he sneered: "Say, you gave the boss a bad idea and asked him to attack the kings, what are your plans?" ”

Xu Jingchang was suddenly startled, and shouted strangely: "Your Majesty, it is not my idea to accept the palace to build a school!" ”

As soon as he said this, let alone Zhu Di, even Queen Xu didn't believe it.

Zhu Gaosui even shouted: "Dare to act, what can you do?" The boss is so honest, can he do such an outrageous thing? ”

Xu Jingchang was speechless at this moment, he looked around and found that his aunt was also strained, with a look of why bother to deceive herself......

Xu Jingchang was depressed, he finally knew what it meant to kill himself if he committed many injustices, and what it meant to dig a pit and jump by himself...... After two or three years of tossing, he didn't dare to say that it stinks, and he is also disgusted with dogs.

Anything bad will be buckled on his head.

But the problem is that he really didn't do this sassy operation, it was clearly done by Zhu Da Fat himself.

Xu Jingchang realized one thing again, Yingtian's big fat pig is definitely not simple, this guy's skill in pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is deep! No wonder I had the last laugh and deceived my father and brothers!

"Anyway, it's my idea to let the vassal kings confiscate the temple and ancestral halls...... I just pushed the boat down the river and borrowed the prince's advice! Xu Jingchang is still trying to argue for himself.

But the big guy automatically ignored the latter words, and Zhu Di asked directly: "What is the intention of expropriating the ancestral hall and temple?" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what is the reason for abolishing the Confucian Mansion sacrifice?" ”

Zhu Di was shocked, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly felt enlightened.

It's about a complete shuffle!

Xu Jingchang's prescription for frontier governance was to abolish the guard house and build a farm. He used the guard officer to lead his soldiers to reclaim the frontier, and when necessary, introduce slaves to work, increase the amount of commercial grain, and strengthen the self-sufficiency rate in the north.

It makes sense.

In the case of vassal kings, his proposal was to train them and grant them some inheritance, in short, as a clan, they could make a fortune, but they should not think about military power and land.

This also makes sense.

But can these two strategies be implemented smoothly?

What do you think?

That's not how dreams work.

Throughout the annals of history, it is not uncommon for the correct strategy to get underneath, seriously deformed, and even go in the opposite direction. Otherwise, the reform would not be so difficult.

"Your Majesty, please think about it, whether it is to build a farm or to build an industry, what does it need?"

Zhu Di snorted: "Naturally, we want talents. ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Majesty has said too much, in fact, as long as people are enough." ”

Zhu Di was stunned, but Zhu Gaoxu caught Xu Jingchang's meaning, and he said in a muffled voice: "Father, my cousin means someone who wants to work!" ”

Zhu Di was even more surprised, "People? It's all over the place, what's so hard? ”

This time there is no need for Xu Jingchang, Zhu Gaoxu looked up to the sky and sighed, tears came out.

"Father, the child has been busy for more than two years, do you know how much the child has been wronged?"

His crying frightened Zhu Di.

"Are you still aggrieved? I just see that you are rich, and your family has more wealth than your inner money! ”

Zhu Gaoxu was aggrieved, "The child has earned money, but this money is really hard!" ”

Queen Xu saw it in her eyes and said curiously: "Second brother, you are a stuffy gourd, you have everything in your heart, and you don't want to say it." It's just our family, you just pour out the bitter water in your stomach. Didn't the common people say that they can't just watch thieves eat meat and not watch thieves being beaten. ”

These words made Zhu Gaoxu even more aggrieved, and dared to love him for becoming a thief.

In Yingtian workshop, the biggest problem is recruitment.

Yes, there are people everywhere, but few can enter the workshop.

Zhu Gaoxu initially wanted to recruit workers from the city, but he soon gave up...... There are craftsmen in the city who are good at weaving, but most of these craftsmen work in their own homes.

To put it bluntly, it's a family workshop.

Some have only one or two looms, and more than three or five.

The mother takes her daughter to do it, or the mother-in-law leads her daughter-in-law to do the work...... They weave, and the men help buy silk thread and sell it. At the same time, I am doing odd jobs or opening a small shop.

Although it is not considered a lot of wealth, there is absolutely no problem in providing for the life of a family.

Let them go into the workshop and weave silk with hundreds or thousands, don't even think about it!

can be a small boss, why enter the factory to screw it!

Throughout the ages, the principle has been the same.

Zhu Gaoxu had to focus on the countryside, hoping to recruit peasants...... Then Zhu Gaoxu was completely jade.

Because the difficulty of recruiting peasants is far higher than that of the citizens, and the common people are not willing to do so at all.

"It's because you're driving less money, aren't you? There must be brave men under heavy rewards, don't you understand? Zhu Di said quietly.

Zhu Gaoxu snorted: "Father, what you said is easy, how much do you have to give?" How much can I earn? You can't make me lose money! The people in the countryside, whether they have land or do not have land, can only rent land. They all regard farming as the right way, and being craftsmen is a last resort, and it is an inferior person to do it. ”

Zhu Di frowned slightly, and thought: "Growing grain can fill your stomach, but silk can't fill your stomach, there is also a saying." ”

Zhu Gaoxu snorted angrily: "Obviously they are poor people, but they don't even want to go out of the village. I want to recruit female workers, but the trouble is even greater, saying that men and women are not kissed, and women should not go out of the door. There are also rumors that I am going to trick women into going to Qinhuai River to be a prostitute...... Father, I am a prince in a dignified manner, and I have been slandered as the one who opened the Qinglou, I have been wronged! ”

And so it is!

Zhu Di's eyes widened angrily, "Who said that?" framed the prince, why didn't he arrest him? He turned his head to look at Xu Jingchang, "Aren't you in charge of Jinyiwei?" The second child was wronged, and you didn't help him get ahead? ”

Xu Jingchang spread his hands, "Your Majesty, the minister can't help." ”

"Why? Don't you want to? ”

Xu Jingchang said honestly: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't do it, after all, the prison is so big, unless you add a hundred times more prison to me, I can pretend to be gossiping." ”

Zhu Di was dumbfounded, and couldn't help muttering: "How can there be so many?" ”

Empress Xu said curiously: "Second brother, since it is so difficult, how did you get enough of so many craftsmen?" ”

Zhu Di also stared at his second child.

Zhu Gaoxu sighed: "This is thanks to my cousin, the school he ran has trained many craftsmen...... Then there was the Taihu Lake flood, and hundreds of thousands of people in western Zhejiang were displaced. I went down to talk to the common people about changing rice to mulberry, and by the way, I recruited quite a few people, both men and women, who were doing well in my textile workshop, and now they also have a good income, which is richer than ordinary peasant households. ”

Empress Xu couldn't help asking: "Since life is good, I guess it won't be so difficult to recruit craftsmen in the future, and you can be regarded as having worked hard." ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Queen Mother, how can things be so simple, I can see clearly, those gentry and landlords are eager to tie the common people to the countryside, and they are not allowed to come out to work at all." What my cousin wants to do is clearly a tiger's mouth. ”

Zhu Di was quite surprised, "That's the case?" Xu Jingchang, is what the second child said right? ”

Xu Jingchang nodded and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Han can see it very clearly...... The minister thought that everyone loves money, everyone wants to get rich, and if they can earn a little more, what's so bad. But gradually, the minister understood that some ordinary people, they didn't think so. Because coming out to make money, it is a risk, at least leaving the countryside, entering the town, leaving their familiar living space, and losing the protection of their clan relatives and friends, they don't dare. Besides, many ordinary people simply believe in fate! ”

"Life?"

"Yes, there are those who are poor and have toiled all their lives, and have been poor all their lives. It's useless to toss blindly, it's better to accept your fate honestly! ”

Zhu Di took a deep breath, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If I accept my fate, I'm afraid I will die in the hands of Jianwen." ”

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Di said: "Xu Jingchang, in your opinion, how should this matter be?" ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, in fact, we have been working this matter...... For example, the sacrifice of the Confucian family was overthrown, the Taoist system was changed, and the orthodoxy of official learning was redefined. This is the change from the roots. The next step is to carry out these things, build schools, and promote education, that is, to sweep away the old set and replace it with a new one. Only in this way can we make a fuss. ”

Zhu Di suddenly sighed, "I understand, so I demolished the temple and ancestral hall just for this?" ”

Xu Jingchang said: "That's right, only in this way can we shake the family and solve them from the root...... Without the obstruction of the big clans, it will be much easier for His Majesty to straighten out the finances and taxes. Now that the Kong family has been settled, the vassal kings have bowed their heads again. This is the case for both the supreme and noble families, and no one else is an exception! ”

Zhu Di trembled, and could only say that this game of chess was really big enough!

"Xu Jingchang, what benefits can I get?" Zhu Di said quietly.

"Your Majesty can get the authority of the whole world, you can get unparalleled wealth, and you can establish unprecedented achievements!"

Zhu Di listened silently, and after a long time, he suddenly slapped the table, which shook the dishes and chopsticks, and he laughed loudly, "In this case, I don't have anyone who doesn't support it." ”

Zhu Di's heart was completely bottomed, and after the turn of the day, Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, came back from Tianjin, and complained to Zhu Di as soon as they met.

"Your Majesty, my brother doesn't even have a place to live now, so I can reward my brother a little, and my brother will have a place to settle down. Otherwise, several of your nephews and nieces will be begging on the streets. ”

Zhu Di looked at him and said, "Are you still resentful of Dingguo Gong now?" ”

Zhu Yu was stunned, and could only say: "The minister thinks he is a little unauthentic......"

"Confused!" Zhu Di scolded unceremoniously: "The Duke of Dingguo has given you the golden mountain, but you are still blind!" ”

King Qi was shocked, "Your Majesty, my brother really doesn't understand!" ”

Zhu Di snorted: "You don't understand, I'll tell you, you copied the temple, do you have anyone?" ”

"Yes."

"Do you have any money?"

Zhu Rong was stunned, he had scraped a lot of gold paint, but he was always a little embarrassed......

Zhu Di snorted: "Idiot, don't you go to the dock to enclose?" Do you want someone else to get ahead of the curve? ”

King Qi was stunned for a long time, then suddenly turned his head and ran, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
