Chapter 290: Situation
Zhu Song listened to Zhao Fei's words and nodded approvingly.
"That's right, whether it's the crown prince King Han or King Zhao, they have already begun to cultivate their own power in the court before this king, and this king didn't plan to cultivate strength in the court before, and it was good to be a lonely minister, but later the trip to Jiangnan gave this king a deep understanding, no matter how great a person's power is, there is no way to compete with a group of officials, let alone beat the imperial power."
"Especially my Ming Dynasty is still the most pinnacle of imperial power in all dynasties, and this king does not have much power in his hands, there is only one brocade guard in the hands of this king, and he can't use his strength at all in the court, if those court officials are really determined to get along with this king, I am afraid that this king only relies on brocade guards, and of course they can't compete with them."
"But the problem is that we can have dealings with the officials of the imperial court, and the prince Han Wang Zhao Wang can also have dealings with the officials of the imperial court, but after all, they are father and son, and the emperor can turn a blind eye and ignore it, after all, he is still swaying between the prince and the Han king, and the prince's position is not stable, and the reason why those civil officials are close to a warrior Han Wang is also because they are more optimistic that the future throne belongs to the Han king."
"But this king is colluding with forces in the court, can the emperor see it? This king is just his younger brother, and even if the throne is not the turn of this king, why should those officials follow this king with all their hearts? ”
Feng Miaoqin just didn't know anything about court affairs, and Sister Zhao could help His Royal Highness in this regard, so after His Royal Highness finished speaking, the princess immediately looked at Concubine Zhao as if she was watching a play, and she was relishing.
Concubine Zhao frowned slightly, and put her fingers on her lower lip, which was her usual action when thinking about questions.
"Your Highness is right, those officials who support the King of Han, the reason why they follow the King of Han is very simple, that is, they are optimistic that the King of Han will be able to be the prince in the future, and the same is true for those who support the prince, but what can His Highness give them?"
"Hmm...... With it, we might as well jump out of the circle of the royal family to look at the problem, my Ming Dynasty's officials are very low, and officials below the fourth grade even have to pull some famine every year, if they don't want to have some other ways to protect their own pockets, they can't live this year. ”
"Maybe His Highness can use gold and silver as a tool to win people's hearts, although it is not strong to use wealth to win people's hearts, but this is the only way His Highness can use it now."
Concubine Zhao's words seemed to open the door to a new world for Zhu Song, yes, although she is not qualified to fight for power, she also has an advantage that the other three princes do not have, that is, this king is rich.
Now Kaiyuan is still nominally Zhu Song's fiefdom, and the imperial court gives Zhu Song a fortune every year, which has also risen from 10,000 stone to 20,000 stone, and Kaiyuan's tax revenue has passed through Zhu Song, and Zhu Song also has a lot of land in Kaiyuan.
I opened a pilot green building in Yangzhou, although the model is different from the general green building, and the profit will be greatly reduced, but after all, this industry is a profiteering industry, even so there can still be a very considerable income.
The biggest difference between himself and the other three princes is that he is not afraid of the way of merchants, in Zhu Song's view, it is actually good for the country to properly stimulate the enthusiasm of merchants, and after reaching a certain level, it can stimulate commerce, relieve the disadvantages of most merchants being confined in the local area, and let the goods circulate.
As long as the goods are circulated, there will be a steady stream of money, as long as the money goes into their own pockets, they don't have to worry about money anymore.
And a huge industry is not liked by the emperor, but the emperor has to say, seeing the existence of this industrial chain, what is the best way? Pull more people into the water!
There are many dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing, and those officials are naturally needless to say, officials below the fourth grade, with this year's salary, they can't even eat enough, they are Zhu Song's target, in addition to them, there are officials above the fourth grade, there are many officials who are not too much silver, as long as they are pulled to do some business, give them some dry shares, with money, they taste the sweetness, and they will follow themselves more closely.
In addition to these, there are so many imperial relatives and relatives, there are still a few vassal kings left in the Jingshi, as well as the princes of various families, and so many heroes were born in this Jingyan battle, these are the royal relatives and relatives, the fresh blood of dignitaries and dignitaries, pull them into the water, then they have a group of very powerful supporters.
As long as they believe that they will have money to earn if they follow, and if they fail, then they will not have to earn money, then they will desperately protect themselves when they are in danger.
What's more, Zhu Song can support Zhu Di as the emperor, and he can naturally make a choice between the prince and the king of Han.
The king of Han is capable, but he is unruly, he is the emperor, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are not able to make a living.
And Zhu Song crossed here, and his biggest wish is to hope that the people of the world can have enough food and clothing, and he can be regarded as a trip in vain.
And Zhu Song's wandering between various forces, especially between the imperial power and the official power, is actually a difficult thing, and it is much easier to realize his wishes directly through the imperial power.
But in Zhu Song's view, being an emperor is a very aggrieved thing, although he has the greatest power, he is also controlled by power.
There are so many emperors, they can only be born in the imperial city in this life, grow up in the imperial city, and finally die in the imperial city, and they can't even feel the beautiful scenery outside the palace walls, which is really pitiful.
And he has the same goal as himself, and has the people of the world in his heart, there is another person, that is, the prince, his nickname is Renzong, and he can get this nickname, which shows that he loves the people like a son and is benevolent and righteous.
Thinking of this, Zhu Song basically made it clear how the various forces in the court should make a choice, and it was also clear where to stand, and the next thing was how to make the goods circulate.
As early as when Zhu Song opened the plains, he had already raised a special organization comparable to Jinyiwei in the background to inquire about the news, and now these people have taken Kaiyuan as the center, and continue to radiate to the four sides, the farthest north, has radiated to the Nuergandusi, and even the black soil plain of the Nuergandusi has been transmitted to Zhu Song's hands through mapping.
