"Science and education are science and education, and exemption from military service is exemption from military service. Don't mess up here! Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded.

"Aren't all of you scholars very high-pitched? What 'set a heart for heaven and earth, and establish a life for the people. For the sake of the saints, for the sake of eternal peace'. ”

"After these four sentences, there is no more sentence 'find land for the family'?"

"We're just wondering. You scholars are studying, is it just to take advantage of my Ming? ”

This is too heavy, Wang Guangyang opened his mouth to argue, but Lao Zhu directly waved his sleeves: "Okay!" Needless to say! You just step down! ”

"If it is really difficult for an official to serve, it can be converted into money and food."

"As for the specific folding method, in the past few days, the Zhongshu Province has drawn up a practical and feasible procedure for us on this matter!"

This is good, and he was directly silenced by Lao Zhu. Wang Guangyang had to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead and retreated.

But in his heart, he thought that in the name of the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, he would put this holy decree on hold for the time being. and then instigated Kodao to give advice to His Majesty.

It is imperative that His Majesty take back his order and dissolve this matter invisibly.

How precious are the scholars, how can they be as enslaved as those mud legs?

This kind of natural and righteous thing has to be discounted with money and food?

It's a ridiculous joke.

"What else is missing? Hurry up. Lao Zhu said impatiently. These officials, we just want them to pay for the service in one piece, so they whisper underneath.

All of them are traitors!

How Lao Zhu looks at the civil and military officials now, how unpleasant is it.

"Your Majesty." Hubu Shangshu Haiyuan came out and said: "Your Majesty ordered the generals to lead the troops to Beiping Mansion and work with the Duke of Wei to exterminate the Jianzhou Jurchens. ”

"However, in order to supply the army of the Northern Expedition a few years ago, there was not much surplus food in the household department. Now that we are going to go on an expedition again, I am afraid that the military resources and grain will not be able to support it. ”

"Where to cut expenses, please show your majesty."

After saying that, he bowed down, and could not see the expression on his face.

"Can't be supplied?" Lao Zhu stared at him directly.

"Why don't you say it?"

"The minister is talented, I still have a trace of luxury, maybe my household department can save some money."

"Now, it can be calculated that this gap cannot be saved. Don't hide it from Your Majesty, until now, the minister's mind is still full of abacus! ”

Haiyuan Road.

"Hmph, you are loyal to your duties, and you are still full of calculations when you arrive at the court meeting!" Zhu Yuanzhang scoffed.

How could he not guess that these Qingliu civil officials were giving him a difficult problem and vaguely expressing their dissatisfaction with the withdrawal of preferential exemption policies.

"Notice, suspend the construction of the Imperial City in the central capital, and embezzle the construction funds to pay for military expenses!"

"The house in our hometown can not be built first, but the Jianzhou Jurchen must die!"

"So, is that enough?" He looked down at the abyss.

"Yes. Your Majesty Shengming. Haiyuan arched his hand. In this way, the minister has nothing to do. ”

"Since it's okay, let's retreat." Lao Zhu waved his hand irritably.

The hundred officials bowed and retreated, and Zhu Yuanzhang, accompanied by the two tigers, went out of the Fengtian Palace. Fang didn't go far, and Zhu Biao chased after him.

"Father!"

"It's a standard." Lao Zhu stopped and came down. "What, something?"

"Father. Can the cancellation of the preferential treatment be done? Zhu Biao's words revealed concern. Just now, he also participated in the court meeting, and he saw the resistance of the officials to the cancellation of preferential exemptions.

Although this matter was decided by his father himself, if the officials resisted, I am afraid it would be difficult to implement. If it is forced, it may cause chaos.

If that were the case, it would be more than worth the loss.

"What's the name of the father, call the father!" Lao Zhu pretended to glare at his eldest son with reproach. Then with a wave of his hand, the guards and eunuchs bowed down and deliberately slowed down, leaving their father and son walking side by side in front.

"It is impossible to cancel the preferential exemption. Didn't you see that as soon as we waved back Wang Guangyang, that Haiyuan, he went out of class to give us eye medicine? ”

"Hey, they, a group of Qingliu readers, will huddle together to keep warm."

"But......," Zhu Biao wondered. Isn't what Lord Hai said about military spending? ”

"You're still young, you don't understand the twists and turns in the belly of their readers!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted disdainfully. "Let's not let Wang Guangyang speak, Wang Guangyang can't object, use his eyes to let Haiyuan go out of class to persuade us."

"Haiyuan didn't dare to speak out, so he found an opening to find our fork."

"So that we can have a bottom in our hearts, knowing that these of them who are officials are dissatisfied with our order this time."

"Originally, in a few days, the excerpt of requesting the suspension of the construction of the Fengyang Imperial City and the misappropriation of money to pay for military expenses should also be handed over by Zhongshu Province."

"I don't need to say this in the court, but now we have to say it ourselves, this is deliberately unpleasant."

"This ......" Zhu Biao is still young after all, and he doesn't understand how these two things that can't be beaten by eight poles are brought together.

Still, he was worried: "In that case, what if the ministers are against it?" ”

"I can't say it bluntly, but tomorrow there will be woe to me. Otherwise, it will definitely cause waves, and I am afraid that there are wolf ambitions secretly plotting ......"

"Hey, we still don't know the urine sex of this group of civil officials!" Lao Zhu snorted. "We had already calculated their reactions. At first, I didn't think I could cancel all the benefits. Let the Zhongshu Province discuss it first, and when they start to push back, let's pretend to make concessions and delineate a category for the preferential exemption amount. ”

"Put a hoop on this group of gentry first, and then slowly tighten it, and shrink the scope smaller and smaller. Seeing that we gave in, they naturally had nothing to say. ”

"It turns out that from the beginning, my father had the idea of limiting the preferential and exempt amount! And not to be one-size-fits-all! Zhu Biao suddenly realized.

"What if it weren't?" Lao Zhu replied. "We don't have the heart to fight with this group of officials in this trivial matter! After all, this method cannot cure the root cause. Jianzhou Nuzhen is really a bigger matter, at this time, it is still necessary for them to contribute well and stabilize the country. ”

"There is really a way to cure the root cause in the future, and then it is time for our two masters to make great efforts!"

"Yes. The child understood. Zhu Biao nodded.

"But today's court, we can see it." Lao Zhu continued. "This Zhongshu Province, after all, is too powerful, and they dare not show up with us at the court meeting......

"In the future, the left and right prime ministers of Zhongshu Province may be the vanguard of those literati who bully the descendants of our two grandfathers."

"In the past dynasties, there were also many treacherous and chaotic affairs. In the future, there will be so many disloyal and unfilial officials, I am afraid that it is this powerful Zhongshu Province that will serve as a protective umbrella for them. ”

"We still have to settle this matter early...... "Lao Zhu touched his short beard under his chin.

"Daddy?" Zhu Biao was taken aback. My own father, it won't be that I want to be wasted, right?

That's a big move! Abolishing the phase for no reason will bring great turmoil to the country!

"Boss, what's the surprise? We haven't said how to do it yet. ”

"For now, we still have to focus on stability. However, Wang Guangyang and Haiyuan can't stay...... The two of them belong to the clear stream, and it is difficult to say whether they will stumble on the Huaixi generals in the matter of Jianzhou Jurchen! Lao Zhu snorted coldly. These Qingliu all thought that he didn't know about the factional disputes between the DPRK and China, but in fact, he was clear!

"Haiyuan, let's go to Fujian first. As for Wang Guangyang...... This old pedant is not good at doing his studies, so he has to say goodbye to the Huaixi Gang. ”

"The position of the left prime minister, let Hu Weiyong take the top first, or use Mr. Li again......"

"That's right. Where is the fifth child today? While thinking about it in his mind, Lao Zhu suddenly opened the topic by himself.

"Fifth brother? I think it's in the main hall. ”

Zhu Biao replied. "Today is the day when gentlemen will be examined to study the kings."

"A few days ago, when my son went to visit Mr. Song, he learned that Mr. Song attaches great importance to this mid-month examination. He had devised different topics for the kings. He even wanted to bring a few of his most proud young disciples to set an example for the kings. ”
