Li Qing frowned and said, "Your Majesty, are you trying to monopolize?" ”

"What is a monopoly?" Zhu Di scratched his head.

"That's it...... The benefits are concentrated in the hands of one person. ”

Zhu Di nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, that's it, if you have money, you must earn it for the emperor and the country, those rich gentry are good enough, no matter how rich they are, they will not do things for the people, but will further squeeze the people." ”

Li Qing shook his head and said, "The emperor thinks twice, do this...... It's really inappropriate. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Blocking people's money is tantamount to killing parents." Li Qingdao, "The monopoly of interests is likely to cause turmoil. ”

Zhu Di seemed to have heard a big joke, "Emperor I, do you still want to be afraid of the landlords and rich gentry?" ”

Li Qing was speechless, what Zhu Di said was reasonable, the rich gentry are rich, far less rich than the country, but ......

"Does the emperor have a plan?"

"There are some." Zhu Di said, "I want to build a weaving bureau, which is operated and governed by the imperial court; All the tea leaves were returned to the imperial court, and like salt, they were changed to official tea; reduce the scale of silkworm cultivation by wealthy gentry landlords to make way for the imperial court; Porcelain, the ...... of the official kiln of the Great Building"

Li Qing swallowed his saliva, Zhu Di is no longer in the way of people's money.

The gentry were all cut off by Zhu Di for these few ways to get money, and even if they didn't rebel, they would make a big mess.

After coming to Daming for so long, Li Qing has a full understanding of this era, and the emperor is by no means what later generations think, calling for wind and rain, and doing whatever he wants.

Even the emperor has a lot of things that he can't help himself and needs to compromise.

Because the emperor, who is also a human being, is just deified.

It is not as later generations believed, once all national policies are promulgated, they are united in their efforts and forbidden!

Zhu Di is too bold, and at the same time, he is too reckless.

Li Qing really felt that something would happen in this way, even if Zhu Di could hold it, the kings of later generations might not be able to hold it down.

Lao Zhu Banhai can be said to be blocking the rich gentry's financial road, and the fourth man opened the sea, but he did even more desperately, directly cutting meat from the rich gentry.

But Li Qing couldn't find the right words to refute Zhu Di for a while.

Because of Zhu Di's approach, it is beneficial to the country and the people.

Li Qingxin said: "No, in history, Zheng He went to the West, didn't he say that he spent a lot of money and threw money on it, which greatly consumed the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, and it was a loss-making deal?"

But according to Zhu Di's statement, he will only make a lot of money, and he will never lose money! ”

Immediately, he thought of Zhu Di's great achievements: opening the canal, compiling the Yongle Canon, five expeditions to Mobei, moving the capital to Beijing, and six trips to the West...... One pile, one piece, all of which cost a lot.

It can be said that among the ancient emperors, there was no one who could spend money better than Zhu Di.

But even so, Daming did not collapse, but was known as a prosperous era, which doesn't make sense at all.

The only possibility is that the history books have smeared the merits of the Western Ocean and made excuses for the forbidden sea.

In other words, if going to the West is really a loss-making business, then where did Zhu Di get the money to do so many big things.

Twenty-two years of emperor, twenty-two years of annual income, except for necessary infrastructure, relief in times of natural disasters, the imperial palace, the expenses of the royal family, and officials...... For the rest, there is absolutely no way to do so much.

The taxes of the Ming Dynasty are really not high, more than 30 million stones in a good year, 26 or 7 million stones in a bad year, and the rest is not much.

If Zhu Di is really for merit, forcing the people to live hard, and the people are absolutely rebellious, how can there be a prosperous world?

Moreover, Li Qing didn't believe that Zhu Di would be stupid enough to let Zheng He go all over the world to throw money, which is not what a normal person does.

Isn't this a coin scatter?

Even if he was replaced by Xiao Xiaozhu, he wouldn't do this!

By the way, who is Zheng He?

Li Qing frowned and pondered for a moment, and a man with a delicate face and a smile on the corner of his mouth appeared in front of him.

At this moment, he finally figured it out, and the whole person suddenly became enlightened.

Sanbao is a eunuch, and the eunuch has no heirs, so naturally he has no heart to seal the territory, and he is Zhu Di's confidant, so he is the only candidate to go to the West.

The move to the West is by no means a huge cost and a consumption of the Ming Dynasty's national strength, but the foundation that supports Zhu Di's great achievements.

It's really making money, and it's making a lot of money.

It's a pity that Zhu Di's exploits were smeared by the history books written by literati.

It's no wonder that the fourth child is really not authentic in what he does, and it's just a matter of blocking people's money, and he has to rip off other people's flesh.

The old Zhu is ruthless, the fourth is even more ruthless, and the gentry are really unlucky to have these two masters.

……

After Zhu Di finished talking about his own ideas, he said to Li Qing, "What do you think?" ”

“…… The Emperor Shengming! Li Qing felt that this was a bit inappropriate, but this national policy was really beneficial to the country and the people, and he had no reason to oppose it.

"Your Majesty, about the Weaving Bureau, ......?"

Zhu Di frowned and pondered for a moment, "I want the eunuch to manage;

As soon as they came, the eunuchs were not accepted by the world, and as soon as they were purified, they were erased from the genealogy by the family, even if they were greedy, they could not compare to the Wenchen who had a family and a mouth;

Taking a step back, it doesn't matter if they are greedy, how much can a eunuch spend?

If you catch it, he'll throw it all up!

These two come, let Wenchen take over, they are bound to grow rapidly, Jianwen has only been a few years, and the Ming Dynasty has a bit of the shadow of the Song Dynasty. ”

Li Qing nodded: "Emperor Shengming!" ”

To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of Wenchen, not that Wenchen was not a good person, but that this group ...... It's really unlovable.

The world thinks that military generals are a greater threat to imperial power, but in fact, military generals are much easier to manage than civil ministers.

Wenchen is different, they have more eyes than the generals, and besides, behind them are the gentry, and the energy is much greater than that of the generals.

In this era, most of the rich people who could become officials were unable to afford to read at all, and moreover, after thousands of years of evolution, the gentry and bureaucracy had long been integrated and could not be separated.

It is not for nothing that the poor get ahead, but there are very few of them.

Zhu Di said with a smile: "In maritime trade, silk is the top priority, and I want you to manage the weaving sentences." ”

"Huh?" Li Qing only felt that the crotch of his pants was cold, and waved his hand again and again: "It's not suitable, it's not suitable......!" ”

"Look at what scares you, I'm not going to castrate you, but let you take care of it first." Zhu Di said with a smile, "When you finish it, you will transfer it to the eunuch for management." ”

Li Qing sneered: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Zhu Di stretched his waist and sighed: "I have too many things to do, and I don't know which one to do first, the Weaving Bureau is in a hurry, you can do another thing for me first." ”

"......" Li Qing suddenly felt that the fourth child was the same as Lao Zhu, which aroused people, and he was simply not human.

This hasn't started yet, so I'll arrange work for him.

You don't even mention the salary increase...... Li Qing touched his nose, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

"Assemble the Jinyi Guard." Zhu Di said with a smile, "Jinyiwei's suppression of civil officials and even military generals is very effective, how can I abandon it and use it?" ”

Li Qing nodded lightly and said suspiciously, "Your Majesty, in fact, it is not difficult to form a Jinyi Guard, and you don't need me at all." ”

"Of course I do." Zhu Di looked like he was digging out his heart, "I just asked you to hook up with Jinyiwei, my intentions are good, why don't you understand?" ”

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

Sure enough, Zhu Di's next words verified his conjecture.

"I thought about it, I still won't give you an official position, it's good for you to be like this now." Zhu Di patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I have you covered, so you can make it." ”

The fourth child, like Lao Zhu, also wants him to be a lonely minister.

In fact, Lao Zhu finally asked him to be a minister, also because he couldn't do it anymore, if his body was too good, he would never let him be a minister.

However, before his road to power and ministers opened, he was seized by three-stirring sticks.

Li Qing's belly: It's really worthy of Lao Zhu's cub, this behavior is exactly the same.

However, he doesn't care about this, he has been a lonely minister for so many years, and he has long been used to it.

Li Qing even thought that maybe future generations would look at the history of the Ming Dynasty, and his image would probably be a big villain.

The two of them made simple plans on matters such as opening the sea and changing the household registration system, and seeing that the time was almost evening, Li Qing got up and retired.

"Wait a minute." Zhu Di stopped Li Qing, who was about to leave, "What's wrong with that Tie Xuan?" ”

"This ......," Li Qing said with a dry smile, "Tie Xuan is more stubborn, and the minister will think of a way." ”

Zhu Di frowned, "No need, he doesn't want to surrender, and it's useless to persuade him, just keep it shut up like that, I want him to take a good look at which one is stronger or weaker between me and Jianwen!" ”

"The emperor is humble and admired." Li Qing patted the fart.

At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and even Tie Xuan didn't kill him, indicating that Zhu Di was not ready to strictly deal with Jianwen's relevant personnel, but planned to prove himself with facts.

"The minister retired."

……

Zhu Di really thinks so, he wants to convince everyone.

However, people related to Jianwen can be let go, but Jianwen himself, he can't let go of anything.

The eldest nephew couldn't see anyone alive or dead, so he couldn't sleep well.

Zhu Di pondered for a long time, and finally thought of a feasible way, and said loudly: "Come on, go and call Hu Hu." ”

As soon as Xiao Huangmen entered the temple, he hurriedly saluted when he heard the holy parable, and hurried away.

Two quarters of an hour later, Hu Hui arrived.

"Ministers See ......"

"Excuse me, sit." Zhu Di is very gentle.

Hu Hu swallowed his saliva and sat down carefully, "What does the emperor command?" ”

"I have something for you to do, and you have done a good job of becoming an official and becoming a knight." Zhu Di's index finger tapped on the imperial case, "I will give you a team of people to find the immortal Zhang Sloppy." ”

"Minister......

"I'm not done yet." Zhu Di continued, "Seeking immortals is just a disguise, your real task is to find Jianwen......"
