Letting go of the worries in their hearts, Zhu Su and Zhu Di went all the way easily and returned to Yingtianfu, which had been absent for a long time. In the past, Yingtianfu was already extremely prosperous, but now that it has returned, Yingtianfu is even more than before, not to mention the pedestrians on the Qinhuai River, there are still a lot of Hu merchants and orchids, which reminds Zhu Su of the scenery of the old Tang Dynasty contained in the book.

However, today's Daming, in real terms, has indeed made a lot of concessions with Datang.

After entering the city, he first went back to the palace to meet Lao Zhu, but unexpectedly, Lao Zhu took Queen Ma back to Fengyang. In the past two years, Lao Zhu has become more and more hands-off, handing over all state affairs to Zhu Biao, and in addition to looking forward to the Great Dynasty and some major events, he focuses more on cultivating the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying. In order to teach Zhu Xiongying to know the situation in the market, he often took him back and forth between Fengyang and Yingtian, and Zhu Su was no longer surprised.

and Zhu Di were about to go back to the house first, but as soon as they left the palace gate, an attendant in the oblique stab hurriedly stopped the two's carriage and horse out of breath. Looking at it, it seems to be an attendant of the Prince's Mansion.

"Two Highnesses, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is invited, please ask the two Highnesses to meet the cabinet." Xu was afraid that he would stop the carriage and horses of the two princes recklessly, and the attendant knelt on the ground and trembled a little, and said his mind as quickly as a bamboo tube pouring beans. Zhu Di and Zhu Su naturally didn't bother to bother with him, they just glanced at each other, a little surprised.

Zhu Biao never summons his brothers in the cabinet, and on weekdays, he usually goes to the palace of his brothers in person to pay a visit, or summons them to have a family banquet with Lao Zhu in the imperial garden......

Is there something important to command?

Zhu Di and Zhu Su didn't dare to snub their brother, not to mention that Zhu Biao probably had something important to order, so the two simply re-entered the palace gate again.

The office of the cabinet is on the side of the Fengtian Hall in the palace, and there is a saying that although the idea of the cabinet originally came from Zhu Su, in fact, it was the first time he stepped into this yamen.

Originally, I thought that the cabinet would be a solemn place, but after the cabinet ministers sat down on the table, Zhu Bi reviewed the world's music, occasionally talked highly, and expressed their opinions, which was a first-class high-end atmosphere place.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Fang entered the cabinet today, he only felt that the room was in full swing, and many ministers were running back and forth, walking in a hurry, without the solemn attitude that a country center should have.

However, although the officials were busy, they were still busy and orderly, and there was no chicken, flying and dogs jumping, Zhu Su nodded secretly, thinking in his heart that this is what a pragmatic yamen should look like.

"Fourth brother, fifth brother, you're back!"

Zhu Biao did not set aside a separate quiet room in the cabinet, but only set up a table at the top of the position of the cabinet ministers for reviewing the recitals. Now seeing Zhu Di and Zhu Su coming together, Zhu Biao's eyes lit up and went around the table to greet them, first hugged the two of them heavily, and then looked at the two brothers up and down: "It's dark, but it's also strong!" ”

"After many years, they have grown into good men! Your battle report has been read by my brother, and it is all good! ”

"The eldest brother has lost a lot of weight." Zhu Su also looked at Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao's beard under his chin was a lot thicker, but his face was a little tired, so he persuaded him: "Big brother should pay attention to his body." The big burden of Da Mingnuo is the shoulders of my father and eldest brother. ”

"If the eldest brother doesn't take care of his health, no matter how good the situation is now, he will fall into a lot of turmoil in the future......"

"Hey, it's really hard to stop ...... busy business," Zhu Biao smiled wryly. Now let's look at the battle for the throne of the previous dynasties in the history books...... It's ridiculous. Such a first-class drudgery in the world is worth losing the love of father and son and brotherhood to fight......"

"The only hope for my brother today is that my father can live a long life, so maybe occasionally, I can steal a half-day leisure and go outside the city for a while......"

Zhu Di and Zhu Su smiled and didn't take this sentence to heart. The position of the crown prince is bitter, but to say that Zhu Biao really doesn't want to do it, it is absolutely impossible.

Zhu Biao just envied the two brothers, who were able to gallop outside the territory and ride their horses. And he can only be confined to the palace, dealing with cases and documents all day long.

brought Zhu Di and Zhu Su to the side hall, and naturally there were palace attendants who served tea to the three princes. After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Biao said: "This time the two of them returned to Beijing, and there was no grand triumph ceremony in Beijing, so you don't have to worry about it, it is really that everything in the court is troubled now, so I propose to my father that when the envoys of the three major sultanates enter Beijing to meet them, they will hold a ceremony together to tell the subjects of the Quartet......"

"Big brother doesn't need to say much." But it was Zhu Di who interrupted Zhu Biaodao. "My fifth brother and I returned to China this time, and most of the soldiers are still in Kangju City...... Since it is a reward, there is no reason why the soldiers are not there, and we will receive this merit by ourselves. ”

"It's just that the soldiers' rewards and honors, military merit titles, should be done as soon as possible. Don't chill the hearts of the soldiers. ”

"That's nature." Zhu Biao nodded. Now that the Ming treasury is abundant, he did not hesitate at all. In just a few words, the two agreed to reward the soldiers who went on the expedition. Then Zhu Biao turned his head and looked at Zhu Su, who was looking at the landscape map in the hall: "Fifth brother, there are some things for my brother, I want you to help me get an idea." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Su, who was distracted, suddenly came to his senses. "Big brother, but it's okay to say."

"Well, that's a brother." Zhu Biaodao. He touched his beard under his chin, and first considered the wording before continuing to speak: "Now in my Ming Dynasty, business is booming. Especially the businessmen who returned from Feng Mingzhou, all of them have a lot of money. ”

This has also attracted many people to go to sea to do business...... In addition, many people in the southern coastal areas abandoned farming and engaged in business, resulting in a sharp drop in grain taxes......"

"Some ministers admonished me to restart the household registration system and restrict peasant households from going to the sea to do business......"

"This must not be done." Before he finished listening, Zhu Su had already replied solemnly. "Restricting people's occupations for generations with household registration is forcing people who can't survive to become displaced and flee."

"The people are eager to engage in business, they can state the pros and cons, they can be good at guiding, and they can reduce the issuance of maritime surveys...... Why do you have to make a fuss about household registration? ”

"Class solidification is the source of national turmoil...... Farmers love the maritime industry because of the difficulties of farming and want to live the rich life they yearn for. If the imperial court had been more considerate of farming, would the peasants really be willing to leave their land behind to do business? ”

"The heart of the person who proposes it like this can be punished!" Zhu Su said angrily.

Zhu Biao listened quietly and nodded from time to time: "Great goodness." I think so for my brother. ”

"However, it is necessary to reduce the issuance of commercial surveys...... This mouth is not easy to accept. ”

"The fifth brother is back this time, I want to come, my good concubine of Princess Daming will soon find you in the Zhou Palace......"

"Pony?" Zhu Su was stunned for a moment, and a rather thoughtful appearance appeared in his mind. "What the eldest brother said, could it be Ouyang Lun?"

I am mistaken, the princess of the Ming Dynasty is Ouyang Lun...... The title can't be changed to emmmm
