Economy is a topic that can never be avoided by a country and a country.

For a family, money may not be everything, but it is the foundation of happiness, and with it, you can pursue happiness.

What about a country?

So what Zhu Xiongying was thinking about in his heart, how to increase the income of this ancient country next year, in fact, in his heart, he already had an idea.

At least he can guarantee that the additional budget expenditure of two million for the Ming Water Division will not increase the financial burden of the imperial court next year.

With Zhu Xiongying's words, those old-fashioned ministers have no reason to object.

The matter of adding 2 million funds to the Daming Water Division was decided.

Then it was the turn of the officials.

The Ministry of Officials is the first of the six departments, which is mainly a department for the management of officials, similar to today's Organization Department, Discipline Inspection Commission and other departments.

The budget of the Ministry of Officials is mainly focused on the income of the central and local officials, and there is not much opinion on the budget proposed by the Ministry of Officials, because it is money that must be spent.

Next came the turn of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites has nothing to say, it is all about step-by-step things, most of them are ceremonial affairs, and there is the triennial imperial examination at the beginning of spring next year.

The imperial examination is the fairest form of talent selection that can be adopted in this era, and it is a very important thing that it expands the social level of the country's introduction of talents, and absorbs a large number of people from middle and lower classes into the imperial court.

Zhu Yuanzhang also attaches great importance to this.

There was no objection to the budget proposed by the Ministry of Rites.

Then it was the turn of the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department didn't have much to say, because it wasn't a department that needed a lot of spending.

Although it is only a small court meeting, it determines the direction of the development of the Ming Dynasty in the next year, so many things are very cumbersome to discuss. After the four departments have reported, the time has come to noon.

Zhu Yuanzhang was gracious to the ministers according to the system, and asked the supervisor to prepare lunch, and the monarchs and ministers simply ate some meals, and then continued the meeting.

Next up is the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry has a lot of financial matters.

At present, one of the key projects under construction by the imperial court is the defense line of the Great Wall in northern Xinjiang.

The second is the flood control dams of the Xin'an River and Taihu Lake, and the bridge flood control skills of the Ming Dynasty are superb enough.

The third is to focus on the management of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, digging Qingjiangpu, renovating Luliang and Baibu Erhong, and opening up the Baita River route in Taizhou;

Fourth, the diversion of the Yellow River to the Yellow River is normal, and the water of the Yellow River provides sufficient water sources for the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, ensuring the smooth flow of water transportation.

Of course, Zhu Di, the king of Yan in Beiping Prefecture, also ordered Song Li to renovate the Huitong River to communicate the water communication line from Jiangnan to Beiping.

After the opening of this route, the economy of the north was immediately driven by the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhu Di not only leads troops to fight, but also has a very vicious vision for governing the region.

In addition to the development of land and water, the construction of land roads is in full swing in various places, and in many places, when it rains and snows, hitchhikers and horses cannot move forward, and various places have also begun to pave gravel roads to promote transportation.

The Zhongshan Imperial Mausoleum, the Imperial Palace, and the Confucian Temples and altars in various places are also being built.

The report of the Ministry of Industry is relatively cumbersome, especially when reporting on the project, it is even more cumbersome and boring, but these are all things that must be done, related to people's livelihood, national defense, sacrifice and other aspects.

It has to be said that China has been a major infrastructure country since ancient times.

Zhu Xiongying listened to the report of the Ministry of Industry and thought in his heart how to make the construction of these projects more clear and reduce the greed in them......

After the report of several departments, the next step is the financial department, the household department.

Zhao Mian, the head of the household department, was listed, and there were many things to report.

When it comes to fields, household registration, taxation and other issues, the most important of which is next year's spring ploughing.

Zhu Xiongying is also very concerned about this issue.

Because he wants to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes when he ploughs next spring.

Today's world, although it can also be called a peaceful and prosperous era, but the so-called peaceful and prosperous era of the ancients, the index is extremely low, a disaster comes, there are still countless people who are hungry, and there will be countless people who become the white bones of the forest.

And the peasants are the most conservative group, not to mention the peasants of this era, for them, even if the weather is abnormal, and there is a great drought, it is very likely that the wheat will not be harvested, and they will never dare to plant other crops easily.

Even if the court encourages them to plant, it can't be done, because that one acre and three points of land is the lifeblood of their family.

Therefore, the promotion of sweet potatoes is imminent, but it must not be brutal.

This is also the next question that Zhu Xiongying needs to think about, and there are still many things he needs to consider......

A small pilgrimage lasted all day, until late at night.

Zhu Xiongying came down and was directly dizzy.

At this moment, he finally understood why there were so many emperors in history, and there were very few saintly kings, because if he wanted to be a saintly king, he was really tired and tired.

At the same time, he also admired the old man more and more.

The old man is so diligent, he can still live so long, and in this gap, he still has time to give birth to so many children, and it is not too much to call him the chosen son.

At the end of the year, the small pilgrimage meeting is over, and there is a big pilgrimage meeting next, and it will enter the end of the year.

Zhu Xiongying, who dragged his tired body back to the East Palace, still had a large stack of music on the desk, and these days, he was like a wind-wound machine, constantly turning.

After washing, while it was time to dry his hair, Zhu Xiongying lay on the desk again, the pen in his hand was constantly falling, and he was writing hard......

Suddenly.

Zhu Xiongying felt dizzy in his head, and slowly fell on the desk, and the inkstone on the table was hit by Zhu Xiongying's hand and fell to the ground......

The eunuch guarding the door heard the sound and hurriedly entered the house to take a look, and was immediately frightened.

"Someone! Come on! ”

After the eunuch was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted loudly.

"Go, go...... Go to the Imperial Doctor! Hurry up! ”

"Quick! Hurry up and inform the emperor!! ”

After the other eunuchs came in, some ran to the Qianqing Palace, and some ran to the Tai Hospital......

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just fallen asleep with his clothes when he heard the noise outside the door, and hurriedly got up and walked out of the door.

I saw the eunuch outside the door trembling and crawling on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned suddenly: "What's wrong?" ”

The eunuch hurriedly replied: "The imperial grandson is ...... He fainted! ”

Hear the words.

Zhu Yuanzhang was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, his expression changed suddenly, and without saying a word, he walked quickly to the East Palace......
