Seeing that a few people didn't say anything, knowing that what they said was abrupt, Zhu Di didn't continue to speak.

"How to arrange Jiang Xinghuo's affairs, I will decide after listening to the class of 'Silver Treasure Money' at noon today."

Zhu Di took a sip of tea, and the bitter taste of walnuts lingered between his lips and teeth.

He put down the teacup, looked at his two sons and said seriously: "The most important thing at the moment is to officially start the pilot project of 'spreading labor into acres' in Susongjiahu Prefecture, understand?" ”

"Erchen understands!" Zhu Gaochi replied in a condensed voice, and Zhu Gaosui was also solemn.

It is not difficult to hold a court meeting to announce the policy of 'apportioning labor into the mu' and use thunderous means to quell the protests of hundreds of officials.

But it is extremely difficult to really implement the matter of 'apportionment into the mu'.

Again, there are policies and countermeasures.

Even if it is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, the original intention of formulating the policy is to reduce the burden of the people, but in the hands of the small officials below, it is very likely to be distorted to increase the burden of the people.

Therefore, in all dynasties and dynasties, any reform that wants to succeed is inseparable from the support of the supreme power and the extremely ruthless means of implementation.

Which official of the Great Court Meeting didn't see it today, Chen Ying, the left deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, who was known as the eagle dog under the throne of Emperor Yongle, and Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, all had a look of ecstasy that 'the big job is coming'?

Zhu Di groaned: "I hope that the two of you can do a good job in this pilot project of 'spreading labor into acres', especially the ...... of Chi'er."

He raised his head and his gaze fell on the eldest son, and when he saw Zhu Gaochi's respectful expression, he said slowly.

"This move is not only about the country's social welfare, but also about whether Yongle can get off to a good start in his administration. Reforming the vassal system is the emperor's family affair, and this service is a state affair. ”

Zhu Gaochi knows very well that this is undoubtedly an important political test for him, and it is also a key test for Zhu Di to choose the prince.

Your stance and statement must be unswerving and resolute.

The struggle in the court is not a dinner party, and the 'stall into the mu' is a major event that touches the interests of the gentry class in Zhejiang, and even the entire gentry class!

It will inevitably cause fierce opposition from the entire civilian clique!

Among these civil and bureaucratic groups, the Jiangnan region is the main one...... Nowadays, most of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty come from Jiangxi and Zhejiang.

"Hanlin Duoji water, courtiers half Jiangxi" is not a lie.

After all, Zhejiang and Jiangxi are close to each other and are the two major components of the Jiangnan Gentry Group.

Once the Susongjiahu Prefectures in Zhejiang were the first to be opened, the civil officials from Jiangxi did not think that the emperor would let them go.

After all, the so-called gentry lies in four words - "farming and reading heirlooms".

If you don't have a field, what can you take to study?

The conscription was incorporated into the field endowment, and the field endowment was increased, that is, their ancestral graves were dug up; Let these scholars, who originally did not have to serve conscription, suddenly know that mud legs do not need to serve conscription, that is a slap in the face!

So this time, Zhu Gaochi knows that it is very difficult!

If successful, he will further gain the trust of his father; But once he fails, then I am afraid that he will be farther and farther away from the throne of the prince.

There is no comparison between himself and his second brother Zhu Gaoxu in the first place, and if he loses in the only and most important strength, "governing the country", how can he fight for the throne?

But Zhu Gaochi has no reason to back down.

Because he was originally the prince of King Yan, he should now be the prince according to the rules!

If he is cowardly and evasive now, and after a while, Zhu Gaoxu understands politics and management under Jiang Xinghuo's teaching, it will be even more difficult for him to fight again.

Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath and said, "Father, the son is willing to do his best for this, and there is no slackness. ”

Zhu Di bowed his head and looked at the third child again.

"You two need to work together, too."

"Father, rest assured, the sons will live up to their mission." Zhu Gaosui hurriedly stood up and arched his hand.

"Good." Zhu Di was pleased, "Among the three of you brothers, the eldest has a stable personality, you have gotten along since childhood, and when Jianwen escaped from Nanjing, he was also dependent on each other, but whenever you encounter any tricky things, just discuss with your eldest brother." ”

Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaosui again: "In addition, in the mission sent to Japan from today, you will also send some people to keep an eye on the people of Jinyiwei." ”

"Father." Zhu Gaosui bowed his hand slightly, "If you send people to secretly inspect the stalls into the mu, and then draw the Japanese mission, then there will be insufficient manpower to supervise the vassal kings and nobles." ”

Zhu Di thought for a while and ordered: "The vassal kings and princes in Beijing, who have always been docile and obedient, can remove some of the supervising personnel. ”

Zhu Gaosui didn't dare to argue and nodded.

"In addition, the heirloom department Shangshu Xia Yuan Yoshiji will meet you."

"Father, do you want it?" Zhu Gaochi was slightly stunned.

"Today, Mr. Jiang is going to talk about 'silver treasure money'." Zhu Di said as a matter of course, "Of course, I asked Xia Shangshu, a professional, to accompany me to the class." ”

"But Mr. Jiang ......"

"It's okay, the fact that I and you frequently go to prison can't be hidden in the eyes of those who care. If he is really released from prison in the future, Jiang Xinghuo will be of great use sooner or later. Xia Shangshu is loyal to Geng Bingguo, what's the harm in listening to it? ”

Soon after, the two sons left separately, and Zhu Gaochi was busy preparing to deal with all kinds of tricky questions that the civil officials might raise about 'apportioning labor into the mu', and Zhu Gaosui was busy arranging arrangements with Jinyiwei to secretly investigate the arrangements of the political envoys of each cloth and the members of the mission to infiltrate the Japanese.

Zhu Di and Empress Xu sat opposite each other under the osmanthus tree.

Taking a sip of tea, Zhu Di put down the teacup and finally stood up.

Zhu Di's majestic body reveals a calm and mountain-like momentum.

"The gentry?"

"What did this group of people say about me when I was in trouble?"

"If you are obsessed, give up the dignity of a thousand times, donate the wealth of a country, win a small victory, forget the great righteousness, and resist the public with outnumbered, it is a paradox that cannot be accomplished by luck...... Hehe, in my life, I don't believe in any 'impossible things'! ”

"I have won the world, and I don't rely on the heart of a gentry."

Empress Xu got up and bowed and said.

"Mr. Jiang's policy of apportioning into the mu will definitely be able to collect the hearts of all the people in the world."

"Your Majesty has Mr. Jiang, and the country will be forever!"

"The queen knows me!" Zhu Di's eyes were profound, "If you can get Mr. Jiang's assistance, what is the regret of the national teacher?" ”

...............

Imperial prison, under the old crooked neck tree.

Li Jinglong handed Jiang Xinghuo a silver coin of Eight Si Pa Wen and asked with a look full of awe.

"Jiang Lang, is all this in your calculations?"

The sleepy-eyed Jiang Xinghuo shifted his neck to the left and looked at Li Jinglong suspiciously.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand. ”

Of course, Jiang Xinghuo didn't know about these two, he had already gone out before dawn in the morning and came back.

"Oh, I see what Jiang Lang means." Li Jinglong suddenly realized when he heard this.

"I understand! I know! ”

Li Jinglong nodded clearly, calculating this kind of thing in the future, Jiang Xinghuo would definitely not admit it.

Sure enough, he is a master who hides his merits and fame!

Zhu Gaoxu, who was late, was slowly moving over with his buttocks covered at this time, and he asked.

"Mr. Jiang, it's time to talk about 'Silver Treasure Money' today."

Jiang Xinghuo nodded and took the silver coin of Ba Si Pa Wen handed over by Li Jinglong.

"Zheng!"

The silver coin bounced into the air, shining with a charming sheen in the sunlight.

"Let me start with this coin."

"Tell us about the past and future of 'silver money' and money."

"Only by making this clear can you understand why."

"As long as I can control the coinage of a country, I don't care...... Who sits on the throne. ”
