Chapter 48: So, I'm a waste!

Regarding Zhu Biao's sudden question, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew it in his heart.

Obviously, he saw Zhu Biao's careful thoughts.

But this was originally what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see.

Make up a 'before' marriage contract for Chu Ze, and choose Lan Yu's body as the target.

This matter seems random, but in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang has his own considerations.

arranged for Chu Ze to be such an old man as Lan Yu, firstly, because Lan Yu himself had a close relationship with Zhu Biao.

If Chu Ze becomes Lan Yu's son-in-law, then in the future, he will have Lan Yu as a springboard, regardless of whether Lan Yu recognizes Chu Ze as a son-in-law in his heart.

In the future, if Chu Ze is suddenly reused, even if there are courtiers who want to oppose it, then they have to look at Lan Yu's face.

As the saying goes, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha.

With Lan Yu standing behind him, if Chu Ze is arranged by Zhu Biao's side in the future, there will naturally be a lot less gossip.

And the second one is to let Chu Ze take a good look at the blue jade.

Blue jade is a material that can be made, which Zhu Yuanzhang still knows in his heart.

But with his temperament, he is too reckless, and many times he does things without thinking.

This kind of person is a reckless man.

And Chu Ze... If this guy can really return to his heart, he will definitely make Lan Yu retract from his relationship with Lan Yu.

Of course, in addition to these two points, there is another extremely important point.

If Zhu Biao has an accident...

"If Biao'er has anything to say, it's all his own family here, so there's no need to hide anything."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Biao was deliberately diverting the topic, and at the same time, he also deliberately wanted to find an opportunity for Chu Ze to show his ability.

After all, Zhu Biao was kind-hearted, so he naturally didn't want to see Lan Yu and Chu Ze so noisy.

If this family business can be done, it will naturally be the best thing.

Because once the family affair is completed, Chu Ze will be marked with Zhu Biao.

"Father, in fact, it's not a big deal, mainly in recent days, the son has been thinking about the issue of the minister's merit and merit that he mentioned last time. Erchen believes that the merit of the minister is a little lower after all. ”

"Just killing the ban is the way to be tyrannical after all! If you want the ministers to return to their hearts, you should still be gracious! It shouldn't be a cool official! ”

"However, the ministers also feel that if they rashly make contributions to the ministers, this will undoubtedly negate the previous imperial court's system of earnings, which will shake the prestige and credibility of the imperial court."

"So the sons want to ask the godfather and uncle, if I want to add money for the ministers now, then how should I add it? How much should be added, and what kind of name should be used? ”

Regarding the lack of ministers in the Ming Dynasty, Chu Ze had actually pointed it out from the beginning.

But this matter is far from being as simple as thought.

Don't think it's Zhu Yuanzhang's sentence, considering that everyone works hard and gives everyone a raise, everyone can handle it if they work hard in the future.

The courtier's salary was set from the beginning.

And it's been in place for more than a decade now.

During this period, how many courtiers were misbehaved because their salaries were too low, and they finally fell to the ground due to corruption and bribery.

No one has counted this matter so far.

But one thing is certain, now the court must be very clear that the courtiers are too low, resulting in a very difficult life for most people.

And although everyone didn't dare to say anything, they were very clear in their hearts.

All of this is actually Zhu Yuanzhang's fault, but no one dares to open this mouth.

If Zhu Yuanzhang rashly opened his mouth at this time and said that he wanted to give the courtiers a raise, then it would undoubtedly be equivalent to realizing his mistake.

If there is no reasonable reason for the salary increase, it will undoubtedly tell all the courtiers that the emperor knows his mistake and corrects it.

If this is the case, what should be said of the courtiers who were forced by their previous lives to corrupt and be killed?

In the final analysis, the most important thing at this time is not how much salary to increase for the courtiers, but how to add this salary without damaging the face of the court.

That's the crux of the matter.

The emperor can't be wrong, even if he is wrong, he can't tell the truth!

At least, Zhu Yuanzhang thought so after hearing Zhu Biao's inquiry.

And he didn't mean to say anything, or rather, he didn't want to think about it at all.

If he thinks about it, it is tantamount to admitting his previous mistakes.

As for Lan Yu on the side, his brows were already wrinkled into twists at this time.

The question asked by Zhu Biao is obviously not the field he is involved in!

You know, he's a general, a general!

This is clearly an internal affair.

If you let Lan Yu lead the troops to fight, he will definitely be able to boost morale and kill the opponent without leaving a piece of armor.

But isn't it that you let him deal with internal affairs?

If other people ask about it, forget it, if you can't say why, then just scold.

scolded the other party for not knowing what to do, and scolded him for having no eyesight.

If scolding isn't enough, then just beat him up.

But it was his good nephew who raised this question, and he was also the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the future prince.

This.. This made Lan Yu a little embarrassed.

It's impossible to beat and scold, and the problem of a good nephew, he doesn't want to give advice, and his thinking hasn't been sorted out yet...

This addition was originally a good thing for the ministers, a great good thing!

Isn't it okay to add it directly?

Why are there so many curves and curves!

"Chu Ze, don't hide it! If you have any ideas, you can also say them. It just so happens that my father and uncle are here, and I can help you with the palm of your eyes! ”

Zhu Biao looked at his father who directly closed his eyes and didn't plan to speak, and then looked at the blue jade whose face was flushed, and as a result, he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

Only then did he look at Chu Ze on the side.

This matter itself was brought up by Chu Ze, and in Zhu Biao's mind, he at least had a way!

Although Chu Ze said that he was not a great character, in Chu Ze's own words, he was standing on the shoulders of giants, so the starting point was higher than Zhu Biao's.

But in Zhu Biao's opinion, Chu Ze's ability should be more than what he said.

Since he is learning knowledge hundreds of years later, he is the one who stands on the 'tower' that will be built over the next hundreds of years.

It is likely that what they touch at random is as distant as the stars in the sky to their predecessors.

So in Zhu Biao's opinion, he definitely has a way to deal with this matter.

It's just that the premise is that it depends on whether he is willing to speak.

"Since the prince has said so, then I, a waste, will also be ugly."

Regarding Zhu Biao's kindness, Chu Ze had no intention of refusing.

After he looked sideways at the blue jade on the side, he directly bit the word 'waste' very hard!
