Zhu Song knew that although Liu Yi was towards himself, he did not agree with his decision and move in his heart.

"It's normal for you to have such thoughts, in the short term, it seems that the imperial court can make huge profits, but the status of merchants will also rise, but no matter when the Ming Dynasty can not be dominated by merchants, the imperial court will strictly guard merchants, they can make money and improve their status, but some things can't be done, for example, the sons of merchants are not allowed to be examined, and those who have a direct relationship with businessmen are not allowed to be examined."

"Money and power can only occupy one, just like the rules of our Ming Dynasty, officials are not allowed to do business, and the same businessmen are not allowed to be officials."

"The treasury is now scarce, very empty, if you really want to fill the hole in the treasury, then you can only rely on those businessmen who are thinking about how to make money every day, let them find a way, the state opens a convenient door for them, of course it is not free, they can go outside to make money, people outside can also come to Daming to make money, but no matter what, they have to pay taxes through this door."

"If the environment of the merchant improves, the merchant's industry will need more people to take care of it, which provides a choice for many landless people, they can go to be a partner, and the monthly salary of the man can be in accordance with the rules set by the imperial court, not less than how much and not how much higher."

"In this way, the merchants get the money, the court gets the money, and the landless people have a job and will not starve to death, isn't this a good thing to kill three birds with one stone?"

"But ......" What else does Liu Yi want to say? What can be said is nothing more than what will happen to a businessman if his status is high, and what kind of impact and harm it will bring to the court and the country, but Zhu Song has made it very clear that no matter when the court is above the businessman, the court will strictly control the behavior of the businessman.

In this way, Liu Yi really couldn't open his mouth.

But in the blink of an eye, Liu Yi had a new question in his heart.

"Your Highness, these rules you just talked about, but the emperor didn't mention them when he established the Customs Department recently, and there was not even a rumor at all, could there be a misunderstanding in the middle?"

Zhu Song pointed to the road under his feet and explained to Liu Yi.

"The rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step, do you see the stone bricks under our feet? This is also paved out piece by piece, it is already so difficult to set up a customs department first, if so many cards are released at once, those ministers must not go crazy, desperately admonished? ”

"There is a story called boiling a frog in warm water, a live frog throws it into boiling water, and he will jump out immediately, but when the frog is put in warm water, the frog will feel very comfortable, as long as the fire is increased little by little, he will be cooked alive before he knows it."

"Now the imperial court is in this state, once the customs department is established, and the merchants of the world begin to sell goods overseas through the customs temple, then the next various measures and rules can follow, and let the officials of the world take a look, the problem they are thinking about, the imperial court has already thought of it."

"This king and you say these are to believe you, of course, if you say it, this king will not blame you, anyway, the establishment of the customs department is ready to put on the string, the emperor has sent people in the nearest port, began to set up the customs yamen, even the notice of the customs department has been sent, think that now the news has spread throughout the whole Jiangnan, and then it will spread to the entire Ming Dynasty."

Of course, Liu Yi will not tell others about the things His Highness said to him today, he originally relied on Zhu Song to get to where he is today, not to mention that Zhu Song has the grace to save his mother's life, even if Zhu Song is really a big traitor, Liu Yi will swear to follow Zhu Song to the death.

What's more, Zhu Song just seems to be greedy for money and treacherous on the surface, but in fact, he thinks about the country and the people everywhere in his heart, and it is not the businessmen who really get the benefits of opening the Customs Department, but the businessmen get benefits, but they will also provide more jobs for ordinary people, so that the people can solve the problem of food and clothing, how can this be a big traitor?

Liu Yi's admiration for Zhu Song in his heart has risen to a higher level, and his heart is also more determined, no matter what happens, he cannot betray His Highness.

The two of them went out of the noon gate, and Zhu Song turned his head to look at Liu Yi and smiled.

"How is your mother's health doing?"

Liu Yi arched his hand and said: "If you go back to Your Highness, Xia Guan's mother has completely recovered. ”

"That's good, your current career is on the right track, you have to do a good job in the editing of the Hanlin Academy, this king thinks your talent is very good, although people are a bit of a shaft, but after all, you are a scholar, the axis is put on the body of a military general, that is a fatal shortcoming, but on the body of a literati, it may also be an advantage."

"The emperor wants to repair the Yongle Ceremony, and this king plans to recommend you to compile the Yongle Ceremony together, after all, it is the Hanlin Academy that compiles it, and it will not bury you if you go to the Yongle Ceremony."

Liu Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, thanked him again and again, Zhu Song exchanged a few words with him, and then said goodbye to Liu Yi and got into the carriage himself.

Since yesterday's incident, Zhu Song knew that it was not enough to rely on these royal relatives and nobles who had gotten into the eyes of money, they had noble status, but not the majority of those who had power in their hands.

And those who are tied together with interests will sooner or later fall apart because of greater interests, if it weren't for the fact that they still held their lifeblood in their hands yesterday, I'm afraid it would be really difficult to shirk.

People, you just can't feed too much, feed too much, one day you may bite your own people in turn.

This thing is like feeding a dog, you can't let him eat too much, if he eats too much, he won't be too lazy to take care of the home, so that he can't eat enough will be dissatisfied, only in the middle of the satiety, half-satiety state is the easiest to grasp people.

Of course, this is also the middle and lower policy, the upper policy, is like-minded, the same interests and parallel strategy, today Zhu Song has shown his heart to Liu Yi, he is not a person who looks greedy for money on the surface, he also thinks in his heart that the world is also the people, Liu Yi as a scholar is enthusiastic, he must be able to feel Zhu Song's mind.

In this way, Zhu Song will begin to vigorously push Liu Yi up in the court and compile the Yongle Canon, which is a very good step, and the civil officials in the court know that the compilation of the Yongle Canon will be a golden step to a higher official position and higher power in the future.

As long as the Yongle Canon is compiled well, it is still a trivial matter to be promoted and make a fortune, such a magnificent book, I am afraid that the name of the compiler will also be in the history of the Yongle Canon.
