Zhu Di sincerely sighed, he found that there was something in his son that he lacked.

How to describe it, Zhu Di has been trying to imitate Zhu Yuanzhang, from head to toe, in all directions...... Of course, Zhu Di also knows that there are some places that he can't learn, and he doesn't seem to be able to learn, such as killing heroes.

For those nobles who are rampant, they should be severely punished, but it is a bit too much to exterminate the nine clans at every turn, and even make adult skin pillows.

Also, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't trust the courtiers and was too energetic, so he took up all the government affairs by himself, and he alone had the final say.

When he arrived at Zhu Di, he asked himself that he didn't have Lao Zhu's energy, and he didn't want to tie himself to complicated and cumbersome government affairs, so he reused his courtiers and granted great power.

Not only Xu Jingchang, but also Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, Yang Rong, Xie Jin, Chen Ying...... These people are his right-hand men and play a very important role.

Zhu Di worked hard to correct some of Lao Zhu's mistakes, and then went to the West to use troops abroad, making himself more courageous than his father and more like a saint through the ages.

But in the final analysis, Zhu Di is still tinkering with the structure left by Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is like decorating an old house, no matter how much effort is spent, the pattern is still there, and it is difficult to make a fundamental breakthrough.

But Zhu Gaochi is different, he is really thinking about it seriously, and he starts to act, he has his own things, and he wants to really change the Ming Dynasty according to his own ideas.

If you don't have this ambition, why would you risk going to the thieves' den to persuade the people...... No matter how he explains it, going deep into Poyang Lake is a big deal, and it is not a trivial matter.

"Dingguo Gong, since you also taught a lesson, then you should work hard and prepare some food for me and the prince...... You'll have to cook it yourself. ”

Xu Jingchang nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "There are still a few jars of cellars from the Hongwu period here. ”

Zhu Di shouted: "Then don't bring it yet, I want to get drunk before resting!" ”

Xu Jingchang hurried away, prepared more than a dozen dishes in a short time, and brought the old wine of the first year of Hongwu, tore open the cover, and a rich aroma of wine instantly diffused.

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and after taking a sip, he couldn't help but close his eyes, his face full of intoxication. After opening his eyes, he didn't say a word, poured a cup for Zhu Gaochi, and then ordered: "Drink!" ”

Zhu Gaochi took a sip, and he was also intoxicated.

"Father, if you want me to say that this wine is better than the one in the palace!"

Zhu Di snorted: "That's what I'm talking about, it stands to reason that the palace gathers treasures from all over the world...... But why is it that no matter what you eat and drink, it is a cut worse than this country's mansion? Xu Jingchang, you won't steal things in the palace, right? ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood the minister, the things in the minister's house, either left by the predecessors, or I spent money to buy them, are all innocent and can withstand thorough investigation." As for what His Majesty said about the palace, whether there will be something flowing out, it's hard to say. It can only be said that what can be sold will always fall into the hands of those who are willing to pay. ”

Zhu Di was taken aback, "What do you mean, shouldn't the Son of Heaven enjoy the best?" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that it should be, but it can be seen that the actual situation is not necessarily." ”

The more Zhu Di listened, the more disagreeable, "If you don't tell me a reason, we're not done." ”

"Your Majesty is naturally the lord of the world and deserves the best...... But the problem is that there are so many good things...... This tea and wine, once Your Majesty is used to drinking it, but the follow-up is suddenly gone, which provokes the wrath of the Son of Heaven, which will kill people, so you can only prepare something for Your Majesty that is not so good in quality, but it is better than stability. ”

"For example, this wine, there are so many cellars in the first year of Hongwu, if you want to be safe, you still have to get a large amount of full, Your Majesty is used to drinking it, in fact, there is not much difference."

"What's not much of a difference?" Zhu Di was furious, "This is a bully!" The eunuchs in the palace, as well as you courtiers, are trying to trick me into playing foolishness. ”

At this time, Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "Father, if you want your sons to say, this matter is really not like this." ”

Zhu Di snorted: "What do you mean? You want to speak for him again? ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said: "Father, the child feels that in the final analysis, it is still the deep palace and the nine layers of blocks. It looks high, but it's also a legacy of independence. A few courtiers, plus a few eunuchs, can block the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven...... On the one hand, it is easy to coax the emperor, and on the other hand, the Son of Heaven is angry, and the consequences are serious. Since this is the case, then the only way to coax the emperor is also human nature. ”

Zhu Di snorted: "What kind of people's common feelings? To put it bluntly, it is really hateful to take me as a fool, such a courtier. ”

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Father, the child has a few heartfelt words, I don't know if the father is willing to listen to it?" ”

Zhu Di pondered for a while, and then said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded, then took a deep breath and said: "Father, the child went to Poyang Lake, and found that the fishermen, the whole family, were crowded on a small boat. They had no land, no house, and a few of them, from birth to death, were on this fishing boat one or two feet long and a few feet wide. ”

Zhu Di was silent for a long time.

Even Xu Jingchang lowered his head, Zhu Dazhuang blamed the Son of Heaven for spending money and not being able to sympathize with the suffering of the people?

Xu Jingchang agrees with this, it is true that the royal family spends too many resources, but Xu Jingchang does not think that this matter can be solved, unless he can have the courage to abolish the Son of Heaven, otherwise the royal expenses will be placed there, who dares not to make the emperor comfortable?

Zhu Gaochi paused, and then said: "Father, persuade the Son of Heaven to love the people sparingly, this is what many Confucian ministers and celebrities have said throughout the ages. The child is not to blame anything, the child is also well-dressed and fed, and the money is not calculated. What the child thinks is that the Son of Heaven enjoys it so much, he should let the people eat a bowl of rice and drink a mouthful of soup! ”

Zhu Di raised his head sharply and said loudly: "This is a matter of course. ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "In this case, the child thinks that he should order the local government to help the people and solve problems. ”

Without waiting for Zhu Di to speak, Xu Jingchang immediately said: "Your Highness, this matter is in a hurry, look at the courtiers, how many of them know how to run a business?" They just don't cause trouble to the people. If you want them to help the people, I'm afraid they will help more and more. Could it be that His Royal Highness forgot that when Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty changed the law, he had the wisdom to lend Qingmiao money to the citizens? ”

This kind of thing, Xu Jingchang has already talked to Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Gaochi also knows it.

But at this moment, Zhu Gaochi was particularly insistent, "Cousin, if because of the incompetence of the local officials, he puts things that benefit the country and the people, and does nothing, is this what a promising king should do?" ”

Zhu Di's brows rose instantly, as if he had been touched by his weakness.

And Xu Jingchang still insisted: "Your Highness, if it is only like this, the General Administration Department will not approve your proposal." This order will not be implemented. ”

Zhu Gaochi smiled, "I know, but what if I have a way?" ”

"Then we have to evaluate."

Zhu Gaochi said: "My solution is to set up a business school in Yingtian. ”

"Business school?" Xu Jingchang was surprised, "Your Highness, what are you going to do?" ”

"That's what I intended...... The trip to Poyang Lake made me know that some people are really not suitable for farming. In the past few years of industrial and commercial development, the second and third children have been constantly talking about the lack of craftsmen. ”

Zhu Gaochi sighed: "There is also the southwest to change the land and return to the stream, and there are constantly suggestions from people of insight, but there is a premise for this matter, that is, those mountain people need to have a way to live." If you want to buy their native products, buy medicinal herbs and mountain goods, let them see the income, and go down the mountain to live a better life, they will naturally not resist. As long as the mountain people really go down the mountain, those tribal leaders can't stop them. This is what the people want, the trend of the times! ”

"Wonderful!"

Xu Jingchang couldn't help but slap his hands and admire, "Your Highness's lofty remarks are really to the point, and you can't oppose it if you want to, but how to implement it, I hope Your Highness will give you advice." ”

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "If you want me to say the right way, I don't know for a while, but I wondered, can I let the second and third children pay for the school?" ”

"Yes!" Xu Jingchang decisively agreed, "This is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and the two of them should stand up and share their worries for the country." ”

Zhu Gaochi said again: "Then let them take out their own business methods and give them to the students, no problem, right?" ”

"Of course not!"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Actually, the skills of the two of them are also very ordinary, nothing more than relying on His Majesty's divine power and the protection of the prince, otherwise, how can they be invincible?" ”

Zhu Gaochi smiled: "So let them come out to help, of course?" ”

"How can you take it for granted? It simply gave them a lot of face. Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Highness can let the King of Han and the King of Zhao pay for them to teach and cultivate talents in person." If His Highness still doesn't feel like it's enough, you can dig into the wall. ”

"Digging into the wall?"

"It is to open up their managers to come out, serve as small officials, and do things for the imperial court."

"Is that okay?"

"Why not! If you don't believe it, ask me, are those people willing to do things for the King of Han, or are they willing to come out and be officials? ”

Just kidding, the end of the world is the establishment, if you can come out to be an official, who will do things for King Han?

Isn't it fragrant to be a serious compiler?

"There are thousands of people under the Han King alone, such as the bookkeeper, and there are many literate typesetters and article writers on the side of the King of Zhao, as long as these people are gathered, cultivated a little, and scattered to the southwest, so that they can help the mountain people to leave the mountain villages, live in peace on the flat land, and engage in merchant breeding...... The power of these men is greater than that of a million soldiers. In the future, it will be up to them to change the land and return to the river and solve the toast in the southwest. ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile, completely ignoring Zhu Di next to him, his face was pale, and he was looking at Xu Jingchang and Zhu Gaochi who were singing and harmonizing!

What's going on with you two boys?

Why do I feel as if you are discussing how to kill pigs and eat meat, and to divide up the second and third children?

Could it be that Xu Jingchang has not been able to raise pigs in recent years?
