Zhu Di knew that most officials, especially the speech officials, received benefits and took money to do things, and simply deducted the money directly.

Anyway, the order to transfer troops has been issued, so I just need to drag it out, and I will be scolded if I am scolded, at least I don't have to pay for it.

His trick is very unique, the officials from the family are rich, but they can't stand to fill the deficit for so many officials, a day is a month's money, and the landlord's family can't afford to build like this!

If you don't give money, who will do things for you?

Give money, and can't afford to give it.

Although the salary of the official is not high, there are a lot of people!

Soon, there were internal disagreements, and the bigwigs behind the scenes couldn't bear it.

The ministers only knelt for three days, and then went back to work honestly, but the impeachment of Zhu Di was one after another.

Zhu Di stayed in China and did not send it, and at the same time, there was a problem with the purchase of rice paper, which halved the supply of rice paper written by officials.

Damn, you want to impeach me every day?

Yes, you can buy rice paper at your own expense!

In this era, rice paper is not cheap, there is money to buy rice paper, buy catties of meat, and the dumplings stuffed with meat are not fragrant, and within a few days, most of the impeachment will be less.

Although there are still impeachments, public opinion can no longer be formed.

This time, Zhu Di did not break the rules, but he also won the battle of public opinion.

The ministers were honest for the time being, and Zhu Di also had a smiling face, but half a month later, he became depressed again.

The Tatars ran away and did not come to attack the Ming at all.

Zhu Di was shot falsely, and he was so angry that he scolded his mother, but the ministers were secretly happy.

~

The Imperial Study.

"There is a way to die in Tatars, and I must fight this battle!" Zhu Di set the tone as soon as he came up.

Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji glanced at each other and remained silent.

Xiaopang didn't say anything, he knew that once his father decided, he couldn't persuade him at all, but fortunately, the treasury was not short of money.

Zhu Di looked at Li Qing, "What is your opinion?" ”

"The minister has no opinion." Li Qing asked, "When does the emperor plan to send troops?" ”

"Next year!" Zhu Di's eyes were bright, "This time, I want to prevent future troubles, completely scare them, and subdue them!" ”

Hearing that there will be no troops this year, Xia Yuanji and Jian Yi breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Xia Yuanji arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, corn has planting experience, and has now begun to be planted in many places in several provinces of mountains and rivers, and the planting skills of Yongle beans have not yet been popularized. ”

After a pause, "The people have a certain resistance to the new crops, and the minister suggested that the imperial court can make a promise that if the harvest does not reach the planting of conventional crops, the lost part will be made up by the imperial court;

This time, the people will ensure their harvest in drought and flood, and naturally there will be no chaos. ”

Zhu Di nodded: "Yes, you go back and estimate it, and hand it over." ”

"Your Majesty." Natsuhara Yoshi's expression was delighted.

Jian Yi cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers also have this performance." ”

"Say it!"

"One is about rice paper, and the other is about Yulu." Jian Yi said, "The officials are honest, and they don't have extra money to buy rice paper...... I also hope that the emperor will see clearly. ”

Zhu Di sneered: "The rice paper can be supplied as usual, and it will be distributed as usual in the future, I am kind-hearted, and I don't care about the previous things." ”

Jianyi: "......"

That is to say, the punishment is really not given.

"Your Majesty, in fact, ......"

"The Son of Heaven is a man of his word, how can he go back on his word?" Zhu Di interrupted Jian Yi, he just wanted to let the ministers have a long memory.

蹇meaning:-_-||" The Emperor Shengming. ”

"It's nothing else, you guys should step back first!" Zhu Di waved his hand, "Li Aiqing stays for a while." ”

"Li Qing, I always feel that there are some Tatars who are strange this time." Zhu Di frowned and said, "It's too fast, I was just about to beat them, and they ran away, could it be that someone in the DPRK is collaborating with the enemy?" ”

"This ...... Probably not. Being said by Zhu Di, Li Qing also felt a little fast, from Tatar Koubian, to Zhu Di's decision to go on the expedition, and then to Tatar running away, the news was sent back;

It's only been 20 days, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.

But Li Qing still doesn't think that no one would do such a thing.

"I think it's a possibility." Zhu Di snorted, "They dare to burn even the three major halls, what else do they dare not do?" ”

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, he smiled bitterly: "I am old, and my authority is not as good as before, these years the prince has assisted the country, and the Ming Dynasty has been well organized, and the people's lives have gradually improved.

But at the same time, civil officials have also grown, and I am afraid that the day I die will be the time for them to fight back. ”

Li Qing was silent.

As it stands, it's almost inevitable, and Chubby ...... It's really uncontrollable.

Wenchen is now with Xiaopang because there is Zhu Di, a 'bully', and once the bully is gone, they will become bullies.

"Actually, I have a solution, don't you think it's feasible?"

"Your Majesty, you say."

"Directly passed on to Taisun."

Li Qing shook his head, "Your Majesty, how can there be such a thing?" ”

"Then do you think the prince can withstand Wenchen's counterattack?" Zhu Di snorted, "He has the ability to govern the country, but he doesn't have the ability to be an emperor, if he is allowed to take power, I am afraid that he will have to move back, and even overturn many of my policies." ”

Li Qing was speechless, although Zhu Di's words were a little extreme, they may not happen.

After pondering for a long time, Li Qingdao said, "It's better to fold it!" ”

"How to compromise?"

"After the emperor has been passed on for thousands of years, it will be passed on to the crown prince, and after the prince ascends the throne, he will pass on to the prince after a transition." Li Qing said helplessly, "Back then, the ancestor was located in the imperial grandson, because Prince Yiwen died young, but how could the prince be built and directly passed on to the grandson?" ”

Zhu Di shook his head: "Once you sit in this position, who wants to go down again?"

Your suggestion may seem good, but it doesn't work at all. ”

"Your Majesty, you think too much, the crown prince is not very attached to the throne." Li Qingdao said, "He doesn't even want to be this prince." ”

"I don't believe it!"

“……”

After a stalemate for a while, Zhu Di finally agreed to Li Qing's suggestion.

He himself also felt that directly passing on the throne to the grandson was somewhat unreliable.

"The transition of power is crucial, and it's the most problematic time." Zhu Di said with a solemn expression, "You must be optimistic." ”

Li Qing said solemnly: "The emperor can rest assured, the ministers will do their best." ”

Zhu Di stared at Li Qing for a long time, his expression slowly relaxed, and sighed: "With you watching, I will rest assured, the country of the Ming Dynasty...... I don't know how long it will last. ”

"It will be passed on for generations." Li Qing comforted.

"Hehe......" Zhu Di shook his head and smiled bitterly, when he first ascended the throne, he did think so, but now he doesn't think so, and the emperor has too much helplessness.

"Let's have two drinks with me!"

"Okay!" Li Qing smiled and nodded.

……

The wine and food are all together, and the two of them talk and laugh.

"Li Qing, you have been in the court for so long, and you have a deep understanding of the court situation, is there a way to solve the problem fundamentally?" Zhu Di asked.

"There are some, but ...... Now is not the time to do it. ”

Zhu Di glanced at him, "Listen to what you mean, you have to wait until I die before you can do it?" ”

"Ahaha......" Li Qing snorted, but he didn't deny it, he really thought so.

"Tell me about it."

Li Qing was embarrassed: "I'm afraid that if I say it, the emperor will be impatient to implement it, but it will have the opposite effect, and the interests of the Jiangnan gentry have been seriously damaged, if you ......

I am afraid that when the time comes, the resistance will be fierce, and the prince and grandson may not be able to hold it steady. ”

"Say, I promise not to do it."

You talk like a fart, who believes it...... Li Qing rolled his eyes.

Zhu Di knew his thoughts, and said helplessly, "I don't have a few years to live, so don't you think An An's heart is not enough?" ”

"Okay!" Li Qing nodded, "I have three plans!" ”

"Oh?" Zhu Di was interested and poured Li Qing a glass of wine, "Expand and talk." ”

"The first plan is to impose a grace decree on the gentry, and no matter how young or old, they have the right to inherit the family property equally;

As a result, no matter how rich the gentry is, if they are passed down for several generations, their influence will be greatly reduced. ”

Zhu Di's spirits were greatly lifted, his eyes were bright, he suppressed his emotions, and continued: "What about the second plan? ”

"Change the imperial examination system." Li Qingdao, "There are many rich people in the south, and they can get better education, so most of their officials are from the south. ”

"Re-divide the north and south examination rooms?"

"No, the provincial examination room! In each province, the admitted jinshi are consistent, and people in some provinces can't get into the jinshi, so they retreat to the second best place. Li Qing explained:

"Najiang. In the west, a province accounts for almost one-third of the Jinshi quota in the Ming Dynasty, and after these people enter the career, there is a high probability that a force will be formed, and the average admission of each province can greatly avoid the situation that one family is dominant. ”

Zhu Di was even more overjoyed, and continued: "What about the third plan? ”

Li Qing hesitated slightly, "The third plan is a bit ruthless. ”

"Just say."

"There are few people in the north, but there are many people in the south, let the people from the south come to the north." Li Qingdao said, "The emperor knows that Hongwu is dispersed, right?" ”
