The wheels pressed over the snow and headed from the British Mansion towards Kunning Palace.

Squeak!

Xiao Han pushed open the door of the carriage and got down from the carriage, although he had already become the second highness.

But out of respect for Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, he is still used to walking into Kunning Palace as before.

Originally, Xiao Han wanted to go to the trading market first, but although the snow stopped in the past few days, the weather was still cold, so the vendors in the trading market had not yet started, so Xiao Han turned around and went back to the Guogong Mansion and came to the palace by car.

After all, when the weather came to the palace, Xiao Han couldn't hold back!

"Jiang You, you can stay here, Kunning Palace is very safe, you don't need to accompany me to go in, if it's cold, you can go into the carriage to warm up."

Xiao Han glanced at Jiang You, who was about to follow him in, and said lightly.

"This subordinate has orders."

Jiang You was slightly startled, and then realized that this place was Kunning Palace, and immediately took a step back.

Kunning Palace, the residence of Queen Ma, if you accidentally enter the Fengtian Hall with a knife, and catch up with Lao Zhu in a good mood, you may be in a good mood, but if you enter the Kunning Palace, then there may be more than one head.

"Yo! Wind and snow, you kid, didn't we say it? You don't have to thank you. ”

Seeing Xiao Han walking in through the courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was leaning on the chair, got up and smiled at Xiao Han.

"Daddy. You said no, didn't I really come? ”

Xiao Han rolled his eyes slightly, sure enough, the emperor is a creature that sometimes likes to talk around the bush, obviously Lao Zhu wanted to come over by himself, but he deliberately ordered not to use it, which seemed very human.

And if he really doesn't come, although Zhu Yuanzhang will not be angry, he will definitely be unhappy.

It's the first time I've seen someone who writes a letter and a polite person who writes a holy decree and says polite words.

"Fengxue, don't bother with your father, hurry up and sit down, you call him 'Dad', that's a family, what is polite to him."

Queen Ma said with a smile from the side.

"Thank you, mother."

Xiao Han said, also sitting on a chair.

"Hmm! You're moving pretty fast this time, I've dealt with a few twists and turns here, and you kid arrived before me. ”

Zhu Biao pushed the door in from the outside, and directly pulled a chair to sit down by himself.

"It just so happens that you two are here, we have something to ask you."

"Recently, the expenses of the imperial court are not small, although they got rid of the abject poverty before with the help of the Daming treasure banknote."

"But after calculating it, some flowers in the east and some flowers in the west, there are not many treasure notes left, how long will it take to conquer the Xia Kingdom in the spring, and the wind and snow will take down according to your estimate?"

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his hands slightly and asked Xiao Han.

"Huh."

"Dad, you don't have to worry too much, don't look at the juniors this time, but the combat effectiveness is not bad at all.

The policies implemented by the boss have all been discussed with me, and the money left by our Daming is enough to use.

With me, the 100,000 army will come out of Yingtian, and within half a year at most, I will arrest that Mingsheng in front of you. ”

Xiao Han chuckled and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Hey!"

"You kid is confident, don't underestimate the Xia country, although Ming Yuzhen's momentum back then was not as good as mine, Chen Youliang, and Zhang Shicheng, but occupying the country of Tianfu in Shuzhong, and there has been no battle for many years, there are still 200,000 troops, plus a group of veterans who followed Ming Yuzhen back then, it is not easy to deal with."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat up straight slightly and said to Xiao Han.

"Huh?"

"Dad, do you think half a year is still too long?"

"Those three months are okay, counting the round trip, three months to catch that Mingsheng in front of you, the main reason is that I am a military advisor with the army, not the commander, I can't interfere too much in the overall situation, otherwise it can be faster."

Xiao Han sat there and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"You guys talk first, I'll go cook a few dishes, come here, you guys also have a good meal."

Queen Ma smiled and slowly got up to leave.

"Isn't it?"

"Are you going to bargain?"

"Everyone else is selling as much as possible to extend the task time, why do you kid still bargain in reverse?"

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes, when he fought with Chen Youliang back then, Xiao Han was so confident and flying, and his shot was a lore, and to this day, it is still like this.

"Moreover, don't forget, you kid, there is a Dali Duan clan official and King Liang in the south, and those two families are not of the same mind as our Daming, if they make a move, the situation will not be so simple."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, he was confident in Xiao Han, but the Xia regime was indeed a hard bone, even if Tang He and others went, Zhu Yuanzhang estimated that it would take about a year, and he didn't want Xiao Han to come up and bargain in reverse.

In fact, it is true, in history, it took more than half a year for the Ming Dynasty to attack the Mingxia regime, you must know that it was the result of the all-star lineup and the elite.

"Huh? It's because of them that it will only take three months, otherwise basically a month, our ship will not have to stop in the summer capital to catch Mingsheng and come back. ”

Xiao Han grinned.

"Bastard! See, you can. ”

"I've gone to Xia Country to buy goods, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile, but he no longer cared about Xia Guo's affairs.

Xiao Han is confident, that is naturally good, but if the time comes, he will continue to fight.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's estimation of the current Ming national strength, if the current thriving development trend of the Ming Dynasty is not interrupted, the maximum two years, if you can't catch Mingsheng, then you can only try to force Mingsheng to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

After all, there is still a remnant in the northern Xinjiang that has not been completely wiped out, and is still eyeing the Central Plains.

Although it is said that the current Meng Yuan has already lost the strength to enter the Central Plains, but when he returns to his hometown in the grassland, it is like a fish in water, and it is not easy to completely defeat them.

After all, the grasslands are flat and wide, and the nomadic mobility is high, so it is really difficult to grasp.

If you can really use the method of attacking the city and grabbing the land, there is no need to wait for Zhu Di's five expeditions to Mobei, and Zhu Yuanzhang directly lifted the table.

"Wind and snow, the popularity of Daming treasure banknotes is getting better and better, and there is already a trend of spreading to the surrounding state capitals."

"But I found that this thing is more difficult to find than gold and silver treasures, and some people have clues pointing to them accepting bribes, but the Daming treasure banknotes are light and foldable, and it is difficult to get both stolen goods."

"Alas! After all, the founding time of my Ming Jinyiwei is still shorter, and it will be spread all over the world. ”

"Otherwise, whoever dares to stretch out his hand will cut him down."

"I don't know, do you have any good solutions?"

Zhu Biao also sighed and asked Xiao Han.

"Humph! This group of bastards, my people in the Ming Dynasty are still eating bran and vegetables and can't eat enough, but they are full of oil one by one"

"It's really inexhaustible, indestructible!"

"Otherwise, you don't care who gets the stolen goods, if you can find a witness, you can directly copy his house to us, and if we are there, we will turn the sky upside down."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, for corruption, his old Zhu's tolerance ability is almost zero, and when he hears that someone is corrupt, he is angry.

"Do you really think that Jinyiwei can completely eradicate corruption?"

Xiao Han looked up at Zhu Biao.

"Or else?"

"Isn't this the purpose of Jinyiwei's appearance?"

Zhu Biao asked with some doubts.

"My British government has a production line dedicated to the production of alcohol, you know?"

Xiao Han was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke, as if changing the topic.

In order to make alcohol, Xiao Han deliberately opened a piece of land in the house and built a production line.

As for why he didn't expand production, it wasn't that Xiao Han didn't want to, but that the wine was made from grain, even if the production was expanded, there were not so many raw materials, so that the original production line was completely sufficient.

This is also the reason why even for Zhu Hu, alcohol is equally precious.

"You know, my Daming's alcohol is basically from you, but it has played a lot of roles in our Daming."

"In your British Mansion, not only can concealment prevent technology leakage, but it is also convenient to supervise work."

Zhu Biao nodded.

"No, my alcohol production line only employs a group of workers who distill alcohol, and there is no one to supervise the work, and even Ruoyi and they don't usually take a second look."

Xiao Han shook his head and said.

"Huh? No one to oversee? ”

"Wouldn't someone steal alcohol quietly?"

"You know, it's not cheap, and it's not too much to say it's liquid gold."

Zhu Biao's eyebrows raised slightly, and then he wrinkled slightly.

"Am I sure that if I send an overseer, I will be able to see that everyone will not steal?"

"After all, this thing can be hidden in two taels of cloth."

Xiao Han smiled and looked at Zhu Biao.

"Then you..."

Zhu Biao froze slightly, with doubts in his eyes.

"I arranged for two other groups of people, one to account for the raw materials added, and the other to count and test the alcohol produced."

"I have my own set of calculations, as well as reasonable loss standards, as long as it should be within a reasonable range, I will not send someone to conduct a thorough inspection of the production line, if there is a problem, I basically check one by one."

Xiao Han looked at Zhu Biao with a smile.

"If there hadn't been so much attrition, wouldn't you have found out if there was alcohol stolen?"

Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Han.

"I can't find it, and I don't plan to find it."

"They have already fulfilled my requirements, and if they have more, they can quietly take them away to get income, isn't that also their ability?"

"I have no loss, they have quietly benefited, and there is a high probability that they will not fight to touch my thorough bottom line and risk taking more."

"But it's for me to produce more alcohol, you say, is this a good thing?"

Xiao Han leaned against a tree and said.

"It's... Is that so? ”

Zhu Biao was a little stunned, and he couldn't react for a while.

"Does that mean that I can also do the same, complete the arrangements of the imperial court, and make additional merits to benefit those officials?"

Zhu Biao pondered.

"How can this work? If those officials falsify their political achievements and turn a blind eye, wouldn't it be tantamount to appeasing the evil? Failed the trust of the people of the world in our Daming? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised his head.

"Dad, these are two things, in my opinion, they should be looked at separately."

"This situation is already below the bottom line, and it is applicable to the scope of strict and thorough investigation."

"Just like the equipment on my production line, I never expected them to produce 100% without any loss, but as long as the loss is within my acceptable range, there is no need to smash and replace it with a new one, because he can also allow me to get more."

Xiao Han explained to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"We can't make those people take nothing, no matter how powerful Jinyiwei is, we can't see it, after all, they can't read minds."

"But we can secretly set an acceptable range that is relatively obvious and easy to check, and arrange different people before and after, so that I can reconcile the accounts before and after the Ming Imperial Court, and if someone breaks through this bottom line, we will conduct a comprehensive and thorough investigation with Jinyiwei and kill the unqualified guys."

"So, under such pressure, they want more, and they tend to make as much as they can."

"In this way, when all parts meet the standard, my major equipment can always be above the standard."

"It seems that we have compromised with them, but in fact, it is precisely because Jinyiwei gave up those places that are difficult to investigate and grasped the overall situation that is easy to investigate thoroughly, that he took the whole thing in his hands."

Xiao Han said, looked at Zhu Biao, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"What you said... It makes sense, so what do you think is the appropriate level for us to set the easy-to-check bottom-line link standard? How can there always be a node that doesn't cause too much corruption and is easy to check? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was still frowning, he generally understood Xiao Han's theory of giving up the subsection and maintaining the general integrity of the imperial court, but he still had doubts about the feasibility.

"As for the bottom line, this thing... It needs to be a supporting system. ”

When Xiao Han said this, he also paused slightly.

"First of all, we need to create something that is easier to check, so that every expenditure and income can be registered by different yamen."

"This matter is a bit complicated to say, maybe the entire court structure of the Ming Dynasty will have to be moved."

Xiao Han pinched his chin and continued to speak.

"Briefly, it also made me a little prepared."

"Since we have decided to reform, then there is nothing to be afraid of, if we don't change to the state that I am most satisfied with, wouldn't it be a betrayal of my father's trust in me?"

Zhu Biao opened his mouth and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang slightly.

"Don't interrupt, we also want to hear what's going on."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.

"Well, it's still too early to talk about it, but since you have the heart, then I'll talk about it too."

"First of all, we will also establish a trading market after various places, set up a market transaction management department, and also establish an additional yamen, called the Banking Regulatory Department along with the Daming Market Transaction Management Department."

"The main function of the Banking Regulatory Department is to control the amount of printing and issuance of Daming treasure banknotes, and there are records of the flow of Daming treasure banknotes."

"When there is one thing to do, the local from the Banking Regulatory Department to withdraw a Ming treasure banknote, here the Banking Regulatory Department to have a record, and so on the local yamen to use the Ming treasure banknote, this process, the transaction management department to have a record, so, one in and one out, the two institutions are not subordinate to each other, once there is a large number of treasure money loss in the link, we can easily find."

"For the things reported by officials, the Ministry of Industry will make the highest assessment of their expenses, how much it will cost in the case of the highest quality, and verify the finished product."

"After that, the commissioner of Jinyi Health will conduct a bottom-line verification to see whether it really meets the standard, whether the quality is affected because of the enrichment of private pockets, and whether the Ministry of Industry has accepted bribes to cover up officials."

"If there is no problem identified, the records of the Market Transaction Management Department and the Banking Regulatory Department are fine, and they are considered to be fine."

Xiao Han tightened his robe and said.

"What about the officials of Ying Tianfu?"

"If they cooperate with the people below to make false accounts, we may still be deceived."

Zhu Biao's eyes narrowed, and he carefully recalled Xiao Han's statement, the execution, finance, and audit were all assigned to different yamen, so it was indeed a lot more difficult to steal the public funds of the imperial court.

It's really a lot easier than checking with Jinyiwei.

"Ying Tianfu is the same, we have caught the link before and after, that is, to keep the bottom line, if you dare to collude with Ying Tian and the local two divisions to create false records, such a big move, if Jinyiwei finds that he can't go, then it can also be disbanded."

Xiao Han raised his head and said lightly, indeed, if Jinyiwei didn't react to this extent, it could only mean that Jinyiwei was rotten to the roots.

"Looking at it this way, then I have to hurry up and settle the Banking Regulatory Division, and complete the system before and after the two divisions, so as to stabilize Daming."

Zhu Biao sighed lightly and spoke.

"This is indeed a good way, as long as it is not the banking regulatory department, the market transaction management department, Jinyi Wei, the Ministry of Industry, and the household department at the same time, then it is unlikely that there will be any huge corruption in each link."

"However, this allows them to rub oil from our Daming, and we are still unhappy."

Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips.

"Dad, this is the same as managing those businessmen in the market, Dayu controls the water, and it is better to block it than to be sparse."

"The Yellow River has been governed for so many years, and there are still occasional embankments, but everyone is still singing the praises of Dayu, we can't build an impermeable wall, so we can only avoid complete flooding, leaking three drops and two drops, all of which are deliberately put down."

Xiao Han smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"We know, it's just that I feel uncomfortable, and I have a feeling of sand in my eyes, and although I can still see things, I can't rub them out."

"However, whether you should say it or not, your kid's trick is really amazing."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, but he also expressed his affirmation of Xiao Han.

"Okay, this matter still has to be discussed in detail before it can be structured, let's talk about something else first."

"The subjects you told me about the imperial examination reform before, after all, we can't add too much at one time, so as not to stress those scholars, you see what is appropriate for us to add first?"

Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.

"On the "Daming Political Outline" and "Daming Agricultural Techniques" plus a collection of my Daming laws of the "Daming Law", after all, the trading market is popularized after the popularization of the Ming treasure banknote, there is no hurry."

Xiao Han thought for a while

"Okay, it's almost the end of the year, after the New Year, you still have to be a military advisor with the army, and we are embarrassed to let you work overtime during the New Year, so in the past few days, do you have the confidence to write "Daming Law" and "Daming Agricultural Techniques"?"

Zhu Biao smiled and touched Xiao Han.

"It's not!"

"Are you urging your life? In such a hurry! ”

"No, I'll write it out to you before I leave, what's the hurry? There are so many things, I can't find the officials of the Criminal Department and the farmers and mulberry experts in various places, study it clearly before putting pen to paper? ”

Xiao Han knew very well that Zhu Biao was just adjusting the atmosphere, lest Lao Zhu keep telling me that this was the best way, but his feelings told me that this was not the best way to do it, but he still gave Zhu Biao a big win.
