Zhu Di looked at the boss and said slowly: "What are you yelling about, of course I know that this matter Dongchang did not do it right, and it was very wrong, but now it is the best way to deal with it like this." ”

"Otherwise, if this matter is made with great fanfare, who will it do it good? Good for your dad and me? Or is it good for your uncle? Good for the second and third? Or is it good for you? ”

The prince sighed and said: "Dad, that is the life of hundreds of people, not to mention our Ming people, you are the one who will lead the troops to the grassland in the future, if you slaughter the people of the Yuan people, the son is also going to say this truth, the endless slaughter is just endless mutual revenge, only to educate with etiquette is the long-term way!" ”

"Is it important to expand the territory, the son doesn't seem to be important, because if the territory can't settle the people well, so that the people really know that they can live a good life with the Ming Dynasty and be the people of the Zhu family, then the territory that has been conquered will be retaken sooner or later."

"Dad, Dongchang has made a pretty bad start, and it is still like this for his own people, if this kind of official atmosphere spreads, all my Ming officials are the lives of the people, Dad, I'm afraid that my Ming Dynasty is really going to die like the Qin Dynasty, the second generation!"

Speaking of the big truth, even if Emperor Yongle met the prince, he was confused, but the prince's words made Zhu Di very pleased, if he couldn't convince the people, even if he opened up the territory, he would be taken back.

Isn't that what happened in the past? Genghis Khan laid down a large piece of territory, all the way to the edge of the sky, what the result, was not it snatched back little by little, and now, it has returned to the grassland desert, that one acre and three points of land.

Zhu Di's voice was rarely softened.

"Boss, what you said today is very good, Dad is very pleased, but now Dongchang can't move, Dad is doing this to protect the brotherhood between your uncle and Dad, without your uncle, our family may die on the way to exile now."

"If you don't understand this, you can ask your twenty uncle, and your twenty uncle knows everything."

Zhu Gaochi was silent after hearing this, and Zhu Di saw that the prince was holding a book in his hand.

"Got something for me?"

The prince handed over the fold in his hand.

"Dad, this is the planning map of the palace of the Ministry of Industry officials in Beiping, and the scope has basically been drawn, which is a little smaller than Yingtian's palace."

Zhu Di listened, took the fold and opened it to see, he was ready, the palace was built on the basis of the original Yan Wangfu, the Yan Wangfu was already considered the largest among the kings, the palace was larger than the Yan Wangfu, but it was still much smaller than the Yingtian Palace.

"Even if it's small, it can't be too small, right? After the capital was moved, the capital became the accompanying capital, and the accompanying capital was more magnificent than the capital, what is this called? Envoys from other countries came to my Daming, and they thought that my Daming was the capital of Yingtian, and Beiping accompanied the capital! Changed. ”

"Dad, you can't be older!" The prince said: "This Beiping is much smaller than the Jingshi, and with the Yanwang Mansion as the center, although there are few houses around, but it is also a large expense, and the demolition of the people's houses always has to build a new one for others, and the compensation is a little silver, if it is built in a big point, the silver will be more, and we don't have so much silver now." ”

Zhu Di pursed his lips and said impatiently: "When can the construction start at the earliest?" ”

The prince said, "Three years later." ”

"Three years?" Zhu Di was angry.

"It started in three years, what are you going to eat? What do the Ministry of Industry and Household do to eat? I can't do this thing, so what's the use of what I want you to do? ”

The prince said with a sad face: "Dad, there is no money, how much silver is left in our treasury, you don't know, Jianwen didn't have any silver left, if it weren't for the twenty uncle who took out the salt tax, there is no silver now, let alone start construction, that is, to demolish the people's houses, we have no money to compensate others." ”

"Besides, even if you build the palace, the military department is also urging to ask for silver every day, how can there be so much silver, the cabinet officials took an idea, saying that since it costs money to do things, then come one by one, Dad, do you think you should first repair the palace and prepare to move the capital, or give the silver to the military department first, let the military department recruit troops and horses to build city defenses, and wait until the future to fight with the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty?"

Zhu Di counted the days, it stands to reason that in a few days, it should be the time of the summer harvest, and the taxes from all over the country should be transported to Beijing, which is also a lot of silver.

"I remember that in a few days, the taxes of the provinces for half a year should arrive, and there will be money by then?"

The prince smiled bitterly: "Dad, how much silver that time, it would be good to have fifteen million, last year we were still short of half a year's worth of 100 officials and did not give it to others, Shanxi, Shaanxi The taxes of these two provinces you don't have to think about, last year's drought in the two provinces, this year just planted the land, did not reach out to the court to ask for silver, even if it is to take care of us." ”

"Also, you also said before that the Grand Canal from Beiping to Hangzhou needs silver to explore the river in the Ministry of Industry, and it is also a lot of money for the Ministry of Industry to repair auspicious land for you, and the Ministry of War also needs silver, and it is time for the horse administrations in Henan and Hebei to hand over the horses, and these are also a lot of expenses."

Zhu Di didn't catch his breath for a long time after hearing this.

"You mean to say that you can't keep a lot of silver?"

The crown prince nodded: "Almost, Dad, you have to leave about five million taels in the treasury, and this money can't be moved, this is money for emergency relief, in case something happens to the imperial court, such as any natural disasters or foreign invasions, it will all cost money, and Dad's palace will definitely have to wait." ”

Zhu Di felt aggrieved in his heart after hearing this, he used to feel that he had everything when he was the emperor, but now he is good, but being the emperor is constrained everywhere, he can't do anything, what he wants to do is just two words, no money.

"Boss, you didn't mean it, you are angry with your father here, and you don't want your father."

The prince smiled bitterly: "Dad, you handed over such a big country to your son to manage the accounts, and your son must be responsible for the country first, when it comes to our small family." ”

Zhu Di let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, you work hard, it's good that the military department has got the money, and the soldiers at the border can have a better life, and it's really embarrassing to stay here." ”

Zhu Gaochi left, Zhu Di was really bored, and saw the bow in the corner.

Zhu Di thought about it, and it was time to talk to the old twenty, maybe the old twenty still had some way to make money.

"Send someone to invite King Han immediately and let him accompany me to hunt!"
