Chapter 413: Zhu Song's Plans

Zhu Song of the Customs Department does not plan to mix, first, this is only a small step in the real prosperity of the Ming Dynasty at present, he can only be regarded as opening a gap in this door, whether the Ming Dynasty can catch up with this wave of explosive development in the world, and even occupy a dominant position, it depends on whether this door can be completely opened.

And the decisive factor that can completely open this door is to make people think that this is right from the bottom of their hearts, not that the current ministers should not trade with other countries on an equal footing, because then they will lose the glory of the Celestial Empire.

They can be very generous to give away their things to others for nothing, and then use this to show the magnificence and nobility of our Celestial Empire, even if this will damage the interests, but it is really sad to obtain the glory of the Celestial Empire.

They thought that this would make those Fanbang effects happy and convincing, but in fact, they didn't know that by doing so, they were letting others get benefits, and they picked up a joke that they thought that the leaders of the Celestial Empire were a bunch of fools.

Only when they truly realize how important the economy is to a country will they understand, oh, all the things they did before were stupid things that should not be done.

But it is very difficult to completely change the perception of people in an era, unless it is to use naked reality to make people sober, such as the Eight-Nation Alliance in later generations to open the door of the Qing Dynasty with strong ships and cannons, which is much more thorough, at least much easier than Zhu Song's bothering Baal to change them now.

Just when Zhu Song was thinking about how to go up with the next plan and policy in his heart, a book was handed over.

Zhu Song originally planned to approve it mechanically like before, but he didn't expect to see at a glance the impeachment of his own transcript.

And the most interesting thing is that when Zhu Song got this script, all the officials present showed nervous looks, and Zhu Song saw all of them.

Zhu Song opened the notebook dedicated to impeaching himself and found that there were many signatures of officials on it, and except for Liu Yi, the rest of the people present had signed their names.

San Yang, Xia Yuanji, Hu Guang, and Xie Jin all signed their names on it.

Not only did they sign their names, but they even wrote on the note next to them and agreed to adopt it, which means that several of them jointly signed the note to impeach Zhu Song, and then the suggestion given next to it was to hope to adopt it, and then handed it to Zhu Song, the object of impeachment, to approve the note, hoping that this book could pass.

Hu Guang looked at King Han with some fear, and just as he was about to explain something, he saw Zhu Song's criticism.

He approved it!

Except for Liu Yi, everyone present is you look at me, I look at you, or Xia Yuanji has the highest official position, and asked.

"His Royal Highness King Han, aren't you looking at this transcript?"

Zhu Song looked at Xia Yuanji and smiled slightly: "What your lords mean, don't look at it, although everyone has different political views, but in fact, they are all for the sake of the country and the people in private, and they don't have any bad intentions, why should this king stop you." ”

Xia Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it seems that King Han, as a son of the royal family, is the prince of the dynasty, although he does things a little upside down and likes businessmen, but he still has some gentlemanly style.

These literati have a problem, they think about who to educate and who to persuade at every turn, that is, Zhu Di is different, the idea is very right, they can't say it, of course, they don't dare to say it, if Jianwen is still the emperor, it is really interesting, these civil officials have to persuade every day, teach Jianwen how to be a good emperor every day.

Just when Xia Yuanji was about to open his mouth to teach King Han, he didn't expect King Han to be the first to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's rare that today's recital is finished early, let's chat, this king has a question I want to ask you, the emperor has a lot to do now, but none of the things the emperor does is not a big deal, and it takes silver to do things."

"For example, now the Ministry of Industry wants to repair auspicious land for the emperor, and it needs money, and the various tribes in the north are starting to be dishonest again, it won't be long before they are stubborn, we will send troops sooner or later, right? Then after the army is a war, do you need money to fight? Yes, and more silver is needed to fight wars, and more silver is spent. ”

"The emperor intends to move the capital to Beiping, this is basically settled, the relocation requires silver, and the place where the emperor lives has to build a palace, which also requires silver."

"What's more, the emperor wants to repair the first strange book of ancient and modern times, Yongle Canon, and send a fleet to the sea to promote the prestige of my Ming Dynasty, and expand the Shenji Battalion, the Shenji Battalion needs new crossbows and firearms, do you need silver? It is also needed, but there is only so much silver in the treasury now, let alone several things to do together, even if it is to do one thing, it cannot be completely done now. ”

"Then this question is now in front of you, my lords, you said that if it were you, the emperor would do something, and there was no money to do it, what should you do?"

As soon as Zhu Song's words came out, many officials present were silent for a while, and after a while, Hu Guang said: "Your Highness, if there are some things that should not be done according to the will of the lower officials, don't force it, and obey the will of heaven." ”

"What are the things you shouldn't do?" Zhu Song asked seriously.

"This..."

Hu Guang was obviously a little worried that someone would go to the emperor to complain.

King Han immediately said: "Lord Hu, you don't have to worry, what you say here today, out of your mouth, will enter the ears of this king." ”

After speaking, he looked at the eunuchs beside him.

"Go out, twenty paces away, don't eavesdrop!"

The eunuchs hurriedly withdrew, and now there were only eight members of the cabinet left in the room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, can we start talking now?"

Two tables, seven people, Zhu Song sat on the top seat, there was a large open space in the middle, Hu Guang was in a heart, immediately stood up, came to the open space, and bowed his hand towards Zhu Song.

"Your Royal Highness, the emperor wants to repair the Yongle Grand Ceremony, we all support it, although the war costs the people and money, but others have come over, we can't wait to look at the lost ancestors, as for the cultivation of auspicious land, it is also necessary, but there are some things, the lower officials really can't understand, such as the formation of a fleet to go to sea, as well as the matter of moving the capital to Beiping."

"The silver spent on moving the capital and the silver spent to build the palace are completely enough to support the Ming Dynasty to fight a war, why do you have to move the capital? Yingtian is an ancient capital! This is the weather is myriad, the tiger is in the dragon pan, what is the place in Beiping? It's just a small city in northern Xinjiang, so you don't have to worry about it! ”
