Ming Dynasty: Cured The Emperor's Grandson At The Beginning, And Relied On Science And Engineer

Hearing Li Shanchang's merciless sarcasm.

Song Lian suddenly turned around and glared at Li Shanchang.

"You have also read the books of sages!"

"Old Song, don't even think about dragging me into your group."

Li Shanchang sneered: "But now I am a distinguished scholar, not a scholar.

We are incompatible with you civil servants. "

have to say.

Li Shanchang is very clear about his positioning.

He is not only a distinguished person now.

And he is also the leader among the nobles!

Song Lian's idea is a bit naive.

"Su Ran is a man of many tricks."

Song Lian took a deep breath and softened his tone: "Brother Baishi,

Do you think Su Ran is a kind person?

Didn't he plot against you?"

"Of course I know! I also know that he is planning to kill Tao Zang."

Li Shanchang smiled and said: "Do you think I am a Korean prince for nothing?

Do you think my following your Majesty these past decades has been in vain?

Or are all the honorable men and women just losers?

Lao Song, I am not the only one who knows,

Everyone knows what Su Ran wants to do!"

Song Lian frowned and couldn't help but said: "You know, why don't you take measures?"

"The problem is that the nobles agree with this kind of calculation and routine.

Can survive in the court for a while,

If you don’t need an ax or a ax to add to your body, why not do it?”

Li Shanchang said sarcastically: "Although His Majesty Hongwu is a knife hanging above our heads,

But you civil servants,

This is the hoe that really wants to dig up the graves of our noble ancestors!

Su Ran’s approach,

Although we want to use our nobles to defeat Tao Jian,

Support students from disadvantaged backgrounds to rise,

But it also gives us an opportunity to transform, and at least temporarily protects our rights!

But you civil servants, "zero one zero"

He is bent on driving all of us nobles to death!"

After all, Li Shanchang's face turned cold: "You think I don't know,

How did your civil servants suppress our nobles before?"

Hearing Li Shanchang’s words.

Song Lian's face looked a little unhappy.

Just because civil servants control public opinion, they target nobles.

Always without mercy.

"Brother Baishi!" Old Song Lian's face was grim and cold: "You are raising a tiger to cause trouble!"

Li Shanchang laughed and said: "Brother Song,

You should worry about yourselves first!

Maybe, before our noble lord is destroyed,

You disciples of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism will fall first!

Sooner or later, we noble people will be eliminated. This is the destined outcome.

But you civil servants are His Majesty’s biggest worry!”

After that, he ignored Song Lian's extremely ugly old face, laughed and walked away.

Today, Li Shanchang does not go to court very often.

But he especially likes to stay in the academy.

Whenever the academy encounters those dudes who make trouble.

Li Shanchang immediately taught him a lesson.

It is more prestigious than Su Ran, the official sacrificial wine.

Looking at Li Shanyuan's retreating figure, Song Lian couldn't help but sigh.

He noticed that he was negotiating with an old fox like Li Shanchang.

It was simply a huge mistake.

And Su Ran is obviously a little fox.

The two foxes standing in the same camp made him feel extremely tired.

From this point of view, the only choice is to start with this little bastard Su Ran.

But Song Lian didn't know that Su Ran was not at home now.

They were drinking and bragging with Zhu Di in Tianxiangju.

Zhu Di explained to Su Ran with excitement, at Zhu Gaosui's full moon feast.

The set of glassware he gave me.

"Haha, brother Huai'an."

Zhu Di raised his glass proudly and said: "You gave me that set of Ma Chao Longque,

This time, I really stole the show at my youngest's full moon party.

Some nobles even offered to buy it for 50,000 taels of silver!"

"That's natural."

Su Ran snorted and said: "This is my master's secret method,

The process of collecting five-color quartz was repeated hundreds of times, and hundreds of pieces failed before a set was completed.

This is considered to be a bargain for your kid. "

If Zhu Di had known, this set of glazed ware was made of worthless sand.

He would probably fly into a rage on the spot.

The plastic brotherhood between the two will collapse due to this.

"Humph!" A familiar groan.

Let Su Ran and Zhu Di jump up at the same time.

After pushing open the door, Zhu Yuanzhang walked over with a calm old face.

Behind him was Zhu Biao with a wry smile on his face.

Obviously, the two men have been eavesdropping for a while.

Zhu Di said coquettishly: "Father..."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang staring at him fiercely, he quickly changed his words and said: "Dad,

Why did you come so quickly? Didn't you arrange for anyone to tell you?"

"What the hell!" Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a hard blow: "Fourth brother, how do I usually tell you?

As a royal family, we cannot be arrogant and extravagant.

That's great for you, now you're starting to be extravagant!"

Su Ran looked at Zhu Di's bitter gourd face and was about to speak up: "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately turned his head and glared at him: "Huh?"

"Uncle." Su Ran could only say awkwardly.

"Hmph." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, sat down and said: "Fourth brother,

If you lose your mind by playing with things, turn over your glassware to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

Zhu Di's face twitched with distress.

Su Ran gave him a gloating look.

Does it make you cry? That’s right!

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately directed his firepower at him: "And you,

Go back and hand over the recipe for making colored glaze. You will not be allowed to make it again in the future.

Extravagant things corrupt people's customs!"

Depend on!

Listening to Lao Zhu's royal style.

Su Ran almost hit Lao Zhu on the head with the plate.

The two brothers, who were so eloquent, felt regretful and could only agree obediently.

He also had to admire Lao Zhu's domineering attitude. 【013404319 Feilu 123281501】

Those who eavesdropped and peeped felt confident.

While Su Ran was pouring wine for Lao Zhu, she glared at Zhu Di fiercely.

That means, if you knew daddy was coming, why didn't you tell him earlier?

With a sad face, Zhu Di spread his hands to express his innocence.

He had no idea that his father was waiting for him here.

Obviously, this is also one of Lao Zhu's bad tastes.

It's no wonder that Lao Zhu created Jinyiwei.

It's a good thing that what I just said were boring nonsense.

If it involves a little bit of national and political affairs, I guess...

Su Ran felt a chill on her neck.

The two of them drank with Lao Zhu for three rounds without any embarrassment.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang whose face was getting darker and darker.

Su Ran could only cough dryly: "Well... uncle, what do you want to do here today?"

"What do I do, uncle?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "I came to you, naturally, to engage in national affairs."

Seeing this, Zhu Biao quickly said: "Brother Huai'an, last time you mentioned the issue of clan support.

My father and I have come up with two strategies.

Now, my father and I want to hear what you have to say. "

Seeing the looks from Lao Zhu and Zhu Biaoye, Su Ran sighed secretly in her heart.

If you don't explain why today, why?

It is estimated that the two of them will not let him leave completely.

After listening to Zhu Biao briefly introduce the two strategies.

After Su Ran pondered for a moment, he said: "The above two strategies are already very good.

I will add one more thing, besides reducing the title.

You can also use rewards to let those feudal kings cut them off on their own.

"How to reward?" Zhu Biao frowned slightly.

Su Ran said: "In addition to the annual salary of the clan lord, there can also be another award."

"Another award?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked calmly: "What award?"

“At the end of each year, the imperial court reviews the vassal king’s contributions.

Su Ran explained carefully: "Based on the performance of the vassal king,

A unified assessment of the vassal king's fertility, reputation, contribution to the people of the fiefdom, etc.

Select the best among them and set a huge reward.

As for the amount of the reward, it is determined based on the tax ratio of the country and the dynasty that year. "

Zhu Biao's eyes suddenly lit up!

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he still maintains the image of an emperor who is immovable in all directions.

But the bulging veins on his arms were enough to prove the excitement in his heart at this moment.

The previous two strategies were fine.

First, by reducing the title, coupled with the pressure of cumbersome etiquette and the temptation of academies.

This is equivalent to cutting off half of the clan's salary.

The title of nobility was also reduced by a quarter.

But there's another problem.

That is, the clan king can still have more children.

Increase the number of clans and bring wool to the imperial court!

These children do not have to pay a salary before they are crowned.

This is all pure gold and silver!

But now we have set up this year-end reward package.

This is tantamount to allowing the vassal clan to spontaneously involuntarily begin to control the clan population!

Even after giving birth to a child.

Those clan and vassal kings came for this huge gift package.

I'm afraid they will try their best to hide it.

The secret cannot be reported.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a long breath and nodded: "This is a very good method."

"Dad, it's actually not just for the clan."

Zhu Biao also added: “The six parts of the Chaotang can also be used.

With justifiable rewards from the court, these civil servants no longer need to engage in corruption. "

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, nodded and said: "When you turn around, you will take out a sum of money first.

Implement it in Part 6 first and see how it works!

If the effect is good, we will promote it nationwide!”

Nowadays, Ni Zhu has also begun to calculate economic accounts in an all-round way.

We no longer care about the beginning and end as before, only focusing on the present, but causing greater invisible losses...

After saying that, he said to Su Ran: "Your master,

It seems that he has thoroughly studied the imperial court. "

The tone was obviously somewhat unkind.

"Actually, Yinye."

Su Ran shook his head and said: "This is just to save money.

The effort of patching and patching is not a clever strategy.

After all, there are limits to what can be done to the country and the people.

If you want a truly complete solution, you still have to open source it!

Expand the source of taxation for the country!"

"That's right." Zhu Yuanzhang said with satisfaction: "This is the essence of your Jiran sect. Come on, let me tell you, what is the open source method?"

"Then it's time to open the sea."

Su Ran explained: "Why are the gentry on the southeast coast so rich?

Did he blatantly support the rebels in the last years of the previous dynasty?

It was because of the deceitful former Mongolian Yuan Dynasty that they shut down sea trade!

As a result, Meng Yuan did not understand and did not understand the huge benefits of sea trade.

But it was completely monopolized by these wealthy gentry.

Uncle, you can’t even imagine it,

How big are the benefits of this sea trade? "

"Tch!" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "Your uncle, what do I do, have you forgotten?

Do you still want to scare me?"

Su Ran immediately

Without saying anything, he ordered his family to drive their horses back to the Royal Academy.

Get an analysis table of income statistics from past dynasties.

It lists the statistics of the people of the Northern Song Dynasty, Southern Song Dynasty, BC Yuan Dynasty and now the Ming Dynasty.

Such novel statistical analysis and comparison made Lao Zhu feel dizzy.

But after getting used to it, Lao Zhu understood it clearly.

But after the comparison, Lao Zhu became furious.

He threw it to the ground and glared at Su Ran.

Zhu Biao next to him saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately picked it up and compared it.

Immediately stunned.

"Is your statistical analysis table true?" Lao Zhu's face became serious.

"Uncle." Su Ran said helplessly: "Every analysis above,

There is a reason for everything. Do you think I dare to deceive you?

Well, even if you are my uncle now, I will be punished if I try to cheat my elders. "

Zhu Yuanzhang's old face was almost twisted into a ball of rags.

He gritted his teeth and paced back and forth.

Seeing that the chair in front of me was in the way, I kicked it out.

The window broke with a bang.

Su Ran, who was sitting aside, was very calm.

In the hearts of the founding emperors like Lao Zhu, he looked down upon weak dynasties like the Southern Song Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, the Southern Song Dynasty was also the most embarrassing dynasty among Chinese dynasties.

He sought peace with the Kingdom of Jin, was good at killing loyal ministers, favored traitors, promoted Neo-Confucianism, and bound women's feet.

A series of extremely bad policies and customs, etc., all appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty.

But what made Lao Zhu extremely angry.

It was obviously a very shameful and weak Southern Song Dynasty.

They also have to pay tribute to the Jin people every year.

But the people of the Southern Song Dynasty were rich and wealthy, far more than those in Dashan under his rule!

How could Lao Zhu, who always thought highly of himself, endure this!

"Uncle 5.0, I know the truth doesn't sound good."

Su Ran sighed and picked up the wine bottle knocked over by Lao Zhu: "Actually, you don't have to be angry.

The seven prefectures of Su, Song, Chang, Zhen, Jia, Hu and Hang are inherently blessed.

During the Jingkang Rebellion, the Jin people were mainly concentrated in the north.

The south has been developed,

But it was not affected by the war,

Zhao Gou had a great advantage in reestablishing the Southern Song Dynasty court. "

"Yes, Father."

Zhu Biao also repeatedly persuaded: "Besides, I, Taiming, have just emerged from the war. [013404319 Feilu 123281501]

The previous dynasty was too messy, and what you inherited is another mess.

Some things cannot be compared from this alone. "

Under Zhu Biao's constant persuasion, Zhu Yuanzhang finally calmed down.

As for Zhu Di on the side, he admired his father's uncomfortable expression.

He secretly poked at the ground but felt a little gloating about his misfortune.

Just now, his father forced him to take away the Ma Chao Longque, which was already very painful.

Lao Zhu was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Just this sea trade business,

It has exceeded the Ming Dynasty tax,

It is conceivable how wealthy the southeastern gentry have become!

Su Ran, when are you going to take back this Hailiu business?"

"Uncle." Su Ran sighed and said, "Actually, you know that even if I don't tell you,

You know those southeastern gentry, and you know that they have the power to backfire on the imperial court.

If you want to get rid of these wealthy gentry, you still have to use the old method and dismantle them from the root.

Now the northern track is being fully laid.

The reason why those Jiangnan gentry remained silent was because they were waiting for this opportunity.

When the northern rail car is completely laid, we will fully invest and want to get the land transportation rights.

Then, use the cheap labor force in the north to develop industry,

In this way, the cost of sea trade goods will be reduced,

By then, the benefits they earn will be more than ten times greater. ".
