Fengtian Temple

As soon as Lao Zhu walked into the Fengtian Hall on the front foot, the pension plan of the household department on the back foot was sent.

Xia Yuanji said respectfully,

"Your Majesty! The increased appropriation for the inner treasury was also shipped. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this,

Laughed

"So fast?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Okay, let's take a look at this first."

Xia Yuanji stepped aside silently, ready to wait for His Majesty to finish reading.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Xia Yuanji, full of appreciation,

Being able to work in the household department for so long in Hongwu Nian can be explained not only by appreciation.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the past intently, although Lao Zhu didn't have any business, but nearly 20 years of self-discipline had made him develop a habit of treating every political matter very seriously.

It's easy to say, it's easy to seriously approve one or two pieces,

but

If it's like Zhu Yuanzhang who batches a few hours a day,

can also handle everything seriously, without the slightest mistake, more than ten years as a day, that is already completely superhuman willpower.

Lao Zhu didn't see much of the economic part, Ru Taisu, Xia Yuanji, and the eldest grandson, as soon as these three insurances were on, Lao Zhu was very relieved.

Zhu Yuanzhang mainly looks at the number of households of the elderly.

Lao Zhu's biggest political achievement at the economic level is the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Atlas, and Lao Zhu is an absolute expert in household registration management.

"Huh?"

Lao Zhu sighed lightly, looked at it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong,

Xia Yuanji's heart couldn't help but tighten, he knew that His Highness was very concerned about this matter,

Therefore, the pension plan, Xia Yuanji has been determined countless times before he dares to send it to His Majesty.

But he didn't expect His Majesty to see that something was wrong just by sweeping his eyes.

Could it be that you made a mistake?

Xia Yuanji frowned slightly, it seems that it is the sixth year of working in the household department, and he has not made a mistake.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes to look at Xia Yuanji,

Waving his hand,

"Come here."

Xia Yuanji hurriedly walked to the steps of the dragon chair and waited.

Zhu Yuanzhang put the plan on his lap, squinted his eyes and asked,

"Why is Nanyang Mansion and Runing Mansion so much different?

The relief of the elderly in Runing Mansion is more than three times that of Nanyang Mansion? ”

Xia Yuanji was shocked when he heard this, the question asked by His Majesty, he really didn't think about it,

They just counted the number of elderly people who are registered and eligible for pension payments, and counted them according to the state capitals.

But

I have never thought about why there is such a big difference in the number of elderly people in various state capitals who need to be subsidized.

The Nanyang Mansion and Runing Mansion in Lao Zhu's mouth are both in Henan, and the two places are not far apart, so it stands to reason that the number of elderly people should not be so bad.

Ginger is still old and spicy,

Lao Zhu asked Xia Yuanji in a word.

Xia Yuanji's forehead was covered with a layer of fine cold sweat,

Hurriedly said,

"Your Majesty, Weichen will check immediately."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xia Yuanji with a smile, Xia Yuanji didn't understand, he never pretended to understand, it was really very,

"No, this matter has nothing to do with your pension,

Let's do our own research.

You call us Ru Taisu. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xia Yuanji stepped back.

He is mainly responsible for financial management, and he sees that it is a part.

As the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang's perspective is naturally different from him, and Zhu Yuanzhang sees the overall situation.

But

If it weren't for the emergence of this pension plan, Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't find that there was such a big difference in the number of elderly people in various places.

That's a good way to tell the question.

You said that if there is too much difference in population between the two places, then naturally there is also a lot difference in the number of elderly people, then there is no problem.

And this is also related to the average life expectancy of the elderly in a certain place, and there are many factors that affect it.

but

Lao Zhu said that there is basically no difference between these two places,

One Nanyang, one Runing, the number of households should be about the same, and they are all neighboring state capitals in Henan.

If you can make such a big difference, then there is a saying.

Zhu Yuanzhang came up with a possibility, but there was no ready-made data in his hands, and Lao Zhu was not too sure.

Lao Zhu was about to open his mouth to ask the shadow guard to adjust the gear, and the little old man Ru Taisu walked in.

"See Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Xia Yuanji should have explained to Ru Taisu once,

He asked directly,

"The number of elderly households is so different, what's going on?"

Ru Tai Su is rich in experience, and there is no doubt that he is a treasure of the Ming Dynasty.

After a pause,

Opening,

"Your Majesty,

Since the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou, Sui, and Tang Dynasty have used this method.

I am the governor of the Ming Dynasty, and it is no different from the soldiers.

In fact, it is a combination of ploughing and warfare, with many cultivators and few fighters.

Let's say that the Northern Zhou Yuwentuo set up the Eight Pillar Kingdoms and separated...."

"Someone!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's temples jumped wildly, beckoning the guards to enter the hall,

Two tall and mighty officials entered the hall,

Ru Taisu's little eyes rolled, and he quickly shut up,

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and asked,

"Ru Shangshu! Can! Streamline?!

Long story short

May I?! ”

Ru Taisu closed her lips tightly and nodded again and again,

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and Lang Guan retreated again.

"Say!"

Ru Taisu was frightened,

Hurriedly said,

"Your Majesty, this issue is related to the Ministry of War."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed,

Laughed

"We just thought you were around, and you're getting even more foggy now, aren't you?"

Ru Taisu smiled,

"Your Majesty can understand it."

"Come on, go and pass on the book of the military department to us!

Oh, by the way, call Xu Sima too. ”

Soon

Shen Jin, the secretary of the military department, and Xu Sima, the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, walked in one after the other.

"See Your Majesty."

Li Wenzhong succeeded the second child, and after he took over the Qin land, the official position of the governor of the five armies was vacant.

Lao Zhu originally wanted to give Zhu Shouqian, after all, his father used to be the governor of the world, but there was a shortage of manpower on the North Korean side.

Going further down, it was in the hands of Xu Sima.

Xu Sima is also a rare civil and military among the righteous sons.

Although Mu Ying is a lot worse, he also has his advantages.

And

This kind of talent has to be close and talented, which is really hard to find.

Zhu Yuanzhang received these righteous sons, basically when he was fighting,

Therefore, what Zhu Yuanzhang valued most at that time was whether they could lead the army to fight, and whether they were brave or not to fight on the battlefield.

Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous sons, when they went to the battlefield, they were tiger wolves,

But if they are allowed to govern the country, if they have the ability to break their fingers, they will only jump two or three.

Shen Jin, the secretary of the military department, is a civilian official, after all, the military department of the Ming Dynasty is not allowed to lead soldiers, that is, he is responsible for military status, reserves, military expenses and other literary affairs.

The weight of the Ming Dynasty's military department is also after Shaobao.

peacetime

Shen Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is basically a marginal person.

He was still a little overwhelmed by being summoned by His Majesty so alone.
