Zhu Gaoxu is a vassal, whether he wants it or not, whatever he thinks in his heart, he will be a vassal.

The king of Han is a vassal domain, the ministers are happy, the generals are silent, in short, the big thing is decided!

When Li Qing heard the news, he felt much more comfortable, and felt that this was very good, Zhu Gaoxu was not the material to be the emperor, so it was good for him, Xiaopang, and even Daming.

It has been more than 30 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di is also a martial emperor in the strict sense, if there is another martial emperor in the future, it is not a good thing to add up to a martial emperor who is dozens or even nearly a hundred years old.

The world needs to be governed, and the governance of the world needs Wenchen, just like the people who are suppressed by the household registration system have no head, if Wenchen is not rushed, it will be more than worth the loss.

Wenchen can be suppressed, but not crushed.

Fortunately, Li Qing couldn't help but sigh: "This girl's means are really top, so she solved it silently." ”

It seems that Xu Miaoyun is ruthless, but in fact, she is thinking about Hanhan and Chubby.

King Zhao and King Han successively became vassals, and there was only a little fat left in the Jingshi, the court calmed down, and Wenchen was full of energy.

Zhu Gaoxu's inauguration, not only the civil and military generals calmed down, but Zhu Di no longer had illusions, and devoted himself to cultivating Xiaopang... son.

Although Xiaopang couldn't help him, Zhu Di didn't give up completely, and arranged two family affairs for him.

——Marry Guo Ying's son and Guo Ming's daughter.

——Marry the son of Zhang Yu and the daughter of Zhang Fu.

This time, the founding nobles and the heroes of Jingnan have all hooked up with the prince, and he will ascend the throne one day after another, and they are relatives of the country.

Zhu Di did this to appease the generals, and by the way, suppress the arrogance of the ministers, so as to save them from getting carried away.

The marriage is a little old-fashioned, but it works very well, Xiaopang has become a winner in life, and he is proud of the spring breeze all day long.

……

East Palace.

Li Qing looked at the little fat with black eye sockets, frowned, and said, "Women are like wolves and tigers, you have to be restrained!" ”

"Brother Qing, why don't you get tired of this?" Xiaopang put down the song and said shyly, "I heard that the prescription you prescribed for my father is very useful, so I will also prescribe one." ”

"......" Li Qing was speechless, "Your father is not like you, people are busy with state affairs all day long. ”

"I'm busy, too!" Chubby spread his hands, "Do you see I'm idle?" ”

Li Qing didn't have a good breath and said, "You are lustful and delicious, and you still deal with government affairs all day long, and your iron body can't bear it!" ”

"Hi ~ life in the world, eat and drink." Xiaopang didn't care, "If you want to live longer, forbid this, avoid that, what's the point of living, I'm tired enough, and I can't enjoy it anymore?" ”

After a pause, he said with a smile, "Brother Qing, just our friendship, you can't hide your secrets!" ”

"Okay, then I'll get one for you."

Li Qing wrote down a prescription, "Once a day, for half a year." ”

"Once a day, just once." Xiaopang took the prescription, if he got the treasure, "Take it before the day, or in the future?" ”

"......," Li Qing said helplessly, "at night, beforehand." ”

"Hey...... Don't go, let's talk a little longer. ”

Li Qingtou left without looking back, and said in his heart: "Little fatty, don't blame Brother Qing, Brother Qing is also for your good." ”

What he prescribed to Chubby was not a prescription to enhance his physical strength, but a medicine for drowsiness.

This guy is so indulgent, it doesn't matter.

As soon as I went out, I met Zhu Di.

"I'm looking for you." Zhu Di grabbed him, "Let's go, go to the imperial study and say." ”

"What's the matter with the emperor?"

Zhu Di said, "The Three Treasures said that the casting of the treasure ship will probably be completed in the spring of the next year, and one of the Weaving Bureau is not enough, you go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to get two more out, and there are porcelain ......."

When they came to the imperial study, the two of them sat down, and Zhu Di said his plans with a high spirit.

Li Qing frowned when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to leave some leeway for the rich gentry." ”

"They're rich enough, so it doesn't matter if they make less." Zhu Di didn't have a good breath and said, "I didn't snatch it from them." ”

Li Qing smiled bitterly: "What's the difference? ”

"Less nonsense, let you do it." Zhu Di said unhappily, "I need money, and the country also needs money, do the people of the country and the world have to make way for the rich gentry?" ”

"This ......" Li Qing smashed his mouth and was speechless.

After pondering for a moment, Li Qing said, "The Weaving Bureau is okay, but the ministers of porcelain and tea don't understand it, and they don't have the skills." ”

After a pause, "The most important thing now is to make up for the mulberry fields vacated by the rich gentry, without silkworms, no matter how good the looms and skilled textile workers are, they will not be able to weave silk." ”

"This I have already informed Xia Yuanji, you can rest assured." Zhu Di said, "You can make the weaving bureau with peace of mind, as for the porcelain kiln...... Since you're too busy, I'll find someone else to do it. ”

Li Qing nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, is our Ming Dynasty's treasury still enough to support it?" ”

"A little nervous." Zhu Di scolded and scolded, "It's all Jianwen's bastard who throws money around, and the taxes are not high, and he drops them all in a hurry, plus the expenses of the Battle of Jingyan, the treasury is about to run dry, damn it......

I haven't spent it yet, so I don't have any money! ”

In fact, Zhu Di didn't spend less money, and he spent more than Jianwen, but almost all the money he spent was used in the right place, which is indeed stronger than Jianwen.

Zhu Di was angry that Jianwen gave him a bad start.

He was not in the right position, and he didn't want to offend the people, so when he abolished the Jianwen New Deal, he retained the Jianwen tax policy.

Moreover, in order to show that he loves the people more, Zhu Di lowered another wave of taxes on the basis of the original.

The taxes of the Ming Dynasty were not high, and after continuous tax cuts, although the treasury did not make ends meet, there was not much left.

In addition, Zhu Di cut the domain, shipbuilding, built a weaving bureau, and a porcelain kiln...... With a lot of spending, the treasury is getting poorer and poorer, otherwise, with Zhu Di's temperament, he will have to go on a northern expedition.

However, although there are disadvantages to reducing taxes, it is also beneficial, and the people's lives are getting better and better, and it is foreseeable that the population of Daming is about to usher in growth.

Zhu Di sighed and said, "Now, I can only hope to make a lot of money from maritime trade. ”

Li Qing nodded and smiled: "Maritime trade can definitely make a lot of money, this emperor can rest assured, but ...... Don't rush everything, Daming is now financially tight, and it is not appropriate to open it up again, and throttling is the top priority. ”

After a pause, "The emperor might as well find the head of the household department and discuss the matter of throttling." ”

He persuaded: "If you can't fight a prosperous world just by fighting, the emperor can't snub Wenchen too much, they are also your courtiers!" ”

Zhu Di nodded slowly, "That's right." ”

After a moment of silence, he raised his voice and said, "Go and pass on Xia Yuan Yoshilai." ”

……

Half an hour later, Xia Yuanji hurried to meet the driver.

Zhu Di got straight to the point, "Xia Aiqing, the treasury is getting tighter and tighter, do you have a good plan?" ”

Hearing this, Xia Yuanji was about to cry, and the emperor finally knew that the treasury had no money.

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Yuanji arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a strategy that can greatly alleviate the financial problem. ”

"Tell me about it." Zhu Di came to the spirit.

"Reduce the vassal kings!"

"No, now it's the King of the Nine Sides who has just changed his domain, and he hastily cut them down, and if they don't keep it, there will be some trouble." Zhu Di shook his head, "Even if it is cut, it is not now." ”

Xia Yuanji was helpless, thought about it, and said: "The veterans in the army can be reduced, so ......"

"Mobei has not yet been pacified, so it's too chilling to do this, and it's unavoidable."

Natsuhara Yoshi: "......"

"Is there no other way?" Zhu Di asked.

"Uh...... The minister has another strategy, but the money saved is not much. ”

"Tell me."

Xia Yuanji arched his hand and said: "There are a little more officials in the imperial court, and they can be eliminated in an appropriate amount, so that they can save some money." ”

"Well, that's good." Zhu Di nodded, "You go back and prepare a plan as soon as possible, you can save a little bit." ”

Xia Yuanji nodded helplessly, the treatment of the vassal king was not reduced, and the army was not laid off, but he only rushed to the position of a civil servant, and the emperor was so heavy on military force and light on literature, which made him feel helpless.

"The minister retired."

Zhu Di waited for him to leave the hall, and smiled at Li Qing: "This person is okay, he is not in cahoots with Wenchen, and he has a good heart." ”

"Hehe......" Li Qing nodded with a smile, "There are also many people who are dedicated to the country among the ministers, and they are not what the emperor thought. ”

"Li'er is such a Li'er, but it's better to press them." Zhu Di shook his head and said, "The system of the army is reasonable, it is basically impossible to rebel, and Wenchen will not rebel, but they will corrupt the society of the country, so we still have to guard against them." ”

Li Qing scratched his head, "The emperor is also thinking about it." ”

After talking about trade matters for a while, Zhu Di suddenly said: "Li Qing, I think that the treasure money can still be printed more appropriately, the Ming Dynasty is on the rise, and the imperial court can also drive the people's lives in the process of spending treasure money." ”

Li Qing was silent, Zhu Di's words are not unreasonable, proper water release is conducive to promoting consumption, it can be said that there are only benefits, no harm.

But he is afraid that once this opening is opened, it will be difficult to collect in the future, so far, his greatest achievement is to stabilize the purchasing power of the treasure banknote, and he really does not want to let the Ming treasure banknote repeat the mistakes of the past.

So he said: "The treasure banknote is just a bargaining chip for trading, not wealth, not that the treasure money cannot be printed more, but according to the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty." ”

After a pause, "After the trade, overseas things have entered the Ming Dynasty one after another, and the country is getting richer and richer. ”

Zhu Di nodded and sighed lightly: "Then take what you say!" ”
