Originally, according to Zhang Yifan's plan, he would see his relatives in Nanjing on the first day, and he would go back to Liujia Village on the second day.

As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang's summons will arrives, then there is no way, who made this old man the emperor!

So, Zhang Yifan rushed to the Forbidden City first.

The eunuch who passed the decree took Zhang Yifan to Wuying Palace, this place, which has not been here for three years, and it doesn't seem to have changed much.

After entering the main hall, what surprised him a little was that Zhu Yuanzhang did not summon him alone, because there were other people in the hall.

Zhang Yifan glanced over, and there were four people in the hall, namely the crown prince Zhu Biao, plus the three prime ministers Deng Yu, Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang.

The palace maids and maids are not considered people for the time being, but they are just objects in the main hall.

Zhang Yifan looked at a few of them, and couldn't help but feel a little accomplished in his heart.

Because he knew that it was because of his crossing that history was changed, originally at the end of the twelfth year of Hongwu, Deng Yu and Wang Guangyang were already dead, but now, they are still standing in front of them.

Thinking of this, he stepped forward to greet Zhu Yuanzhang.

After the ceremony, I saw Zhu Yuanzhang pointing at Hu Weiyong's side and said, "Yifan, several prime ministers, and some other people have also played the chapter, and want to promote you to be the Yin of Tianfu Mansion, what do you think?"

Zhang Yifan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

At the beginning, he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was looking for him because of his glass factory, but he didn't expect that he wanted him to be the prefect of Yingtianfu!

Ying Tianfu under the jurisdiction of Shangyuan, Jiangning, Jurong, Liyang, Lishui, Gaochun, Jiangpu, Liuhe eight counties, is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 20 years, there is a population of more than 1.19 million.

Ying Tianfu has a special status, so the grade of Fu Yin is the third grade, which is two to three levels higher than the general prefect, and is managed by Shangshu and Shilang-level ministers.

If it is just from the perspective of being an official, Zhang Yifan jumped from the previous county commander to the position of Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin, it is definitely the kind of continuous jump and promotion speed that is shocking!

However, in the Hongwu Dynasty, this is actually not uncommon, because Zhu Yuanzhang is short of people. Just last year, he promoted a large number of people, such as Li Huanwen and Fei Zhen, who were promoted by the Xi'an prefect and Bao Qian respectively to the household department and Shangshu.

After Zhang Yifan stepped down as the county magistrate of Xiangshan County, he only had a title and no position, and now, seeing that the position of Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin was about to fall on his head.

So, Zhang Yifan came to a tactical backswing to try to avoid this position, and immediately replied: "Father, Jing Jing is pregnant, and her sons have to take care of her!"

In other words, he didn't want to be the Yin of Ying Tianfu.

Hearing this answer, everyone was a little surprised.

They have heard of people who don't want to be officials because they are unwell, and there are also people who have excused themselves by saying that they don't want to be officials because they don't have enough to learn, but they haven't heard of people who don't want to be officials because their wives are pregnant.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to this, and said angrily: "Now I am preparing to implement the new policy of Xiangshan County, and you are most familiar with the DPRK and China. Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin, and you don't need to go outside, it is also suitable for Jing Jing to recuperate, what are you going to say?"

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he still didn't answer, and replied: "Father, I'm going to be a father, of course I'm nervous, so I want to accompany Jing Jing well."

When Hu Weiyong on the side heard this, he suddenly became a little anxious. This colt wants to take care of the princess one by one, maybe the emperor is soft-hearted for a while, and he really agrees!.

You must know that letting Zhang Yifan be the Yin of Tianfu Mansion is the trick he came up with. Once it is implemented, there is naturally no way to talk about letting Zhang Yifan be the prime minister, and his position will be stable.

As for whether Zhang Yifan will be the Yin of Ying Tianfu Mansion and then threaten his position as prime minister again, Hu Weiyong is not worried at all.

Because of this position of Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin, it is definitely not easy to be, it is a pit.

Hu Weiyong has understood that when Zhang Yifan was the county magistrate in Xiangshan County, he was the kind of iron-faced and selfless, not only did he take Yongjiahou, but also the officials and nobles sent to Xiangshan County to do business in Jingshi were also cleaned up by Zhang Yifan (in fact, it was cleaned up by Fang Xiaoru, but Hu Weiyong naturally thought

It's Zhang Yifan's meaning, he hasn't seen Fang Xiaoru's head iron yet).

Hu Weiyong estimated that according to Zhang Yifan's temper, after becoming the Yin of Yingtianfu, he must be iron-faced and selfless.

However, here in Yingtianfu, there are all high-ranking officials and nobles, especially the vassal kings and the major founding heroes, all of whom are very willful and arrogant. If Zhang Yifan is iron-faced and selfless in the position of Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin, he will definitely conflict with the dignitaries.

Once or twice, the emperor can stand on the side of the horse, but how many times? What if the colt and the prince clash? As long as the horse is disgusted by the dignitaries and nobles of the Beijing Division, then don't think about living a comfortable life!

Hu Weiyong didn't believe it, the emperor would keep this colt every time?

That's where his female plan comes in!

However, now that he saw that Zhang Yifan did not accept this official position of Ying Tianfu Mansion, he was naturally anxious, and couldn't help but interject: "Don Ma, it's the princess who is pregnant, and it's not you who are pregnant, it won't prevent you from serving Your Majesty!"

When Zhang Yifan heard his words, he retorted unceremoniously, "Are you pregnant with a child to show me? What do you mean by that?"

Hu Weiyong: "......"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was a little unhappy, and said, "Okay, don't make noise!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhang Yifan, his face became a little serious, and asked, "Yifan, do you want to be your glass factory, so you don't want to be this Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin?"

Obviously, he already knew about it.

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he immediately replied confidently: "Father, the sons and sons have come up with some money-making things, such as cement, salt field method, fish floss, brown sugar to white sugar, and money villages, etc., all of which have been donated. Xiangshan County has been an official for three years, and he didn't ask for a penny. But now that Jing Jing is pregnant, Erchen wants to earn some money to raise children, right? Jing Jing has given birth to a child for the first time, and Erchen accompanies her, and by the way, it shouldn't be too much to earn some of her own money, right?"

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unhappy when he heard Hu Weiyong say that Zhang Yifan was unwilling to serve him, but at this time he was ashamed.

If you change to anyone else, it is impossible to give such a lucrative thing to the imperial court. However, this son-in-law not only gave, but also gave more than one, two cornucopias.

Don't talk about a son-in-law, even if it's a son, it's impossible to treat Lao Tzu like this!

Thinking of this, when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to say something, he heard Zhang Yifan still say there: "Moreover, my father doesn't know, and his son wants to build this glass factory, and he still has some ideas, and he feels that he can make some good things, and he also needs to think about it. When the time comes, the court will benefit from it, even if the ministers are still doing things for the court in other aspects, right?"

"As for the new policies of Xiangshan County, they are already there, and they are just learning. It's impossible, so you can't just learn it, right?" When Zhang Yifan said this, he glanced at Hu Weiyong, with a little contempt in his eyes, as if he was talking about him.

When Hu Weiyong saw it, he seemed to be stabbed by his eyes, and he immediately wanted to regain face, but he knew that if he talked directly about the new policy in Xiangshan County, it must be the horse who knew it best, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "The horse said it easily, isn't your glass just crystal, what other useful good things can be made, and it takes a talented horse to think about it?"

Obviously, either Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned the glass to him, or he himself heard the gossip about glass.

At this time, in order to buckle his hat, he did not hesitate to add a talented description to Zhang Yifan.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also curious, so he asked, "The crystal ...... What other good things can be made from glass?"

If it's just Princess Ningguo who told him what to use for the house, as far as Zhu Yuanzhang himself is concerned, it is not worth Zhang Yifan's effort to do it! If you want to raise the money for your child, he can give it directly after printing it.

When other people heard these conversations, they were also very curious, and they all looked at Zhang Yifan, waiting for him to answer, just to see what good things would be?

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he didn't hide it, and directly replied: "Because of the long-term use of the eyes of the reader, some people may not be able to see the distance clearly, I can help him; Older people will not be able to see closely

I can help him read the words clearly; Lieutenant general, observe the enemy formation, he can't see clearly when he's far away, I can help him see farther......

Hearing this, Deng Yu didn't feel anything at first, but after hearing it, he was suddenly surprised to interrupt Zhang Yifan for the first time and said, "Dare to ask the horse, how far away can you see the enemy formation?"

He led the army to resist Meng Yuan at the age of sixteen, and he has been fighting horses for most of his life. For everything in the army, he is the most eager. At this time, I heard that there was such a thing that would help the general to observe the enemy formation, and I was immediately surprised.

Zhang Yifan listened, turned his head to look at him and said, "This has to be done to know, but it does have the effect of magnifying distant objects!"

Today's Ming Dynasty, the southwest, northwest, Liaodong, etc., are still controlled by Meng Yuan, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the founding emperor, of course knows how important it will be to observe the enemy from a distance.

He may not care about the other two things, but this one can't be ignored.

So, after Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhang Yifan's answer, he said to him, "In this way, then you can concentrate on making this thing first!"

After a pause, he added to Zhang Yifan: "As for your shares in the glass factory, I don't want it, it's enough to have your filial piety. If you want to give it to the other brothers and sisters, you can see it done yourself. You can just pick the craftsman or something, but if something comes to you, you can't shirk it, you know?"

Zhang Yifan's mind from the time he crossed over was to farm comfortably. The agreement reached at this time is ideal. Therefore, he immediately replied, "Thank you, Emperor!"

Hu Weiyong on the side saw that the trap set was avoided, although he wanted to stop it, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already made a decision, and he couldn't do anything.

But this result is okay, after all, the horse is busy with his own affairs, at least in the short term, he will not become an official in the court.

Zhu Biao, who had not spoken, said to Zhang Yifan with a smile after hearing this: "Yifan, just now my father and the prime minister were discussing the matter of Yulu, you have said this matter before, and the Yulu in Xiangshan County is also different from the imperial court, and my father also wants you to make suggestions."

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he turned his head to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded at him, and then motioned to Wang Guangyang to introduce Zhang Yifan: "At present, the amount of money set is 1,000 stones per year, and 900 stones from 100 stones; is 800 stones for the second grade, and 700 stones for the second grade; is six hundred stones for three products, and five hundred stones for three products; Four hundred stones, three hundred stones, three hundred stones, and three ......hundred banknotes."

Zhang Yifan heard that this was a difference of one hundred stones for each grade, and the money given was the same.

"Two hundred and twenty stones for the fifth grade, one hundred and seventy stones for the fifth grade, and one hundred and fifty pounds for the banknotes; is one hundred and twenty stones for six grades, one hundred and ten stones for six grades, and ninety banknotes; is seven hundred stones, from seven ninety stones, all sixty banknotes; is eight products and seventy-five stones, from eight products and seventy stones, and the banknotes are all forty-five times; Sixty-five stones from the ninth grade, sixty stones from the ninth grade, and thirty pounds."

Take the local Qipin County Order as an example, it is equivalent to more than 8 stone per month, and then the Daming treasure banknote is 5 per month. At present, Zhang Yifan feels that a county order can barely support a family with a small number of people, but if the treasure money is depreciated and there is no in the future, then the county order will be a bit miserable.

This is still a little less for those who hold the power of a county. It can even be said that if you want to hire a staff member, you have to pay for it yourself.

So, after Wang Guangyang finished speaking, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

"What else?" Wang Guangyang listened and asked a little puzzled.

But Zhu Biao heard it, so he took over the topic and replied, "Does Yifan mean the year-end bonus like Xiangshan County?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Yifan listened, nodded and said.

Zhu Biao didn't answer, but turned his head to look at his father.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, he said to Zhang Yifan: "The one you have in Xiangshan County is too extravagant, and the officials in other places cannot be as rich as the Xiangshan County Ya."

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Yifan knew that this old man was still a little buckled.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's Yulu has been changed in several versions, and the more it is changed, the less Yulu will be given. However, this plane, because of Zhang Yifan's influence, has actually changed a little.

After Zhang Yifan heard this, he said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, the son of the emperor believes that local officials are pro-people officials, and their performance is good or bad, which directly represents the imperial court, and the influence will be great. Therefore, Erchen believes that in order to solve their worries, they can't be allowed to think of ways to make money because of their poor lives! In addition to the sons' own experience, they also know that some magistrates are really poor!"

As far as the current Yulu is concerned, Zhu Yuanzhang actually referred to the account book provided by Zhang Yifan, eliminated the expenses that he thought were unreasonable, and then pinched the money that was just enough.

I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang, an old farmer, is really picky. In other words, his requirements for officials are really high!

If Zhang Yifan had said this before, Zhu Yuanzhang might not have listened to it at all, and would think that you know something?

However, today's Zhang Yifan, who has just returned from the administration of Xiangshan County for three years, is authoritative.

Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang heard his words, he pondered for a moment and then asked, "Then how do you think we should adjust?"

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he didn't think about it, so he replied: "Erchen thinks that it is necessary to clarify the specific responsibilities of the magistrate first, how much work he does, and how much money he receives. If the prefectural order is really too busy and wants to use staff, then this money should also be considered. In fact, Erchen believes that the division of local duties is too rough. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the local population was small and could be maintained, but if the population increases in the future, the county officials will definitely not be able to keep themselves busy......

Xiangshan County is an example, when Zhang Yifan first went, the registered population was only 20,000 or 30,000, and later the implementation of the law of grain land distribution to the public, the cleaning up of hidden households, etc., the population reached about 50,000, plus the captured pirates, the population increased to more than 70,000.

Later, as Zhang Yifan straightened out the government affairs of Xiangshan County, explosive population growth began. The busyness of affairs is also obvious to all.

When Zhang Yifan said this, he said sincerely: "Father, the son has great confidence in the future strength of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it is recommended that the emperor should plan ahead for the setting up of the local government with a development perspective."

Having said all this, it boils down to two points.

First, magistrates were pro-people officials, and they had to ensure that they had no worries in order to properly implement the decisions of the imperial court.

Second, it is necessary to look at it from the perspective of development and take precautions, otherwise there will definitely be big problems.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to his suggestion, thought about the situation in Xiangshan County, nodded, and then instructed Hu Weiyong and the others: "Qing and the others should have heard it, I think there is some truth, and I will draw up a new one!"

Hu Weiyong was very helpless when he heard it, this colt is really troublesome, as long as the emperor summons him to discuss matters, he can make a whole moth every time.

However, he could not push this work, which was a symbol of his power.

So, I had to agree.

Zhang Yifan's side originally thought of proposing year-end bonuses and pensions, that is, retirement salaries. can think of the old man's slamming the door, if he mentions this now, there is a high probability that he will not be considered. Therefore, he did not mention it, and there will be a suitable opportunity to talk about it in the future.

He didn't know that in the original history, his fortune was also laid off.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it was decided that the horse was the same as the princess, that is, the annual harvest of grain was 1,500 stones, and the banknote was 2,000 yuan. However, on the nineteenth day of the first month of the twelfth year of Hongwu, the amount of money that was set as the commander of the horse was only 600 stones.

Of course, even if it really changes in history, Zhang Yifan will not care. If you cross the human clan, how can you live on your money!

After the discussion, Zhang Yifan went back. He decided to build an annex in Liujia Village as soon as possible, a little farther away from the Forbidden City. Build a glass factory, impart scientific knowledge, and live happily on the farm!
