70: Zhu Di was jealous: Why is Zhu Zhanyu, who is so smart, not my successor! ? No, I want one too!
After dealing with Zhu Qizhen, the emperors all went back one after another.
Zhu Gaoyi found Zhu Zhan’s son and told him:”My son, after going to the Chongzhen Dynasty, observe more, think more, and don’t act blindly. If you encounter any problems that are difficult to solve, come to me.”
“”I understand!”
Zhu Zhan’an naturally understood what his father meant. The situation during the Chongzhen period was quite complicated.
According to the information his father had given him, the situation during the Chongzhen period was rapidly deteriorating, which had a lot to do with Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Zhan’an summarized and found many problems with Zhu Youjian.
He was good at political tactics, but his strategy was not very poor, but he had no strategy.
He had great ambitions, but he was not talented. To put it simply,……If you don’t have the skills, don’t take on the job.
If you are a dictator in governing the country but don’t have great talent, there will be trouble. What
Zhu Zhan’an couldn’t accept the most was that Zhu Youjian made many stupid moves on economic issues…….In the final analysis, the problems that affect the survival of the dynasty all stem from economic problems.
Canceling the industrial and commercial tax and levying three taxes, these two alone can make the Ming treasury even poorer and the people even more desperate.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhan’an sighed and said,”Father, I know why you let me go to the Chongzhen Dynasty. It’s because……Zhu Youjian is not really a leader of the restoration.”
Zhu Zhan’an’s words were actually very tactful, and he didn’t say anything more unpleasant.
Allowing people to block the way of speech is stubborn and self-righteous.
Canceling industrial and commercial taxes, isn’t it just a mental illness?
And levying three additional taxes, this is not willing to give the people of the world any chance to survive!
There is already no place to stand, and the court has increased miscellaneous taxes, plus corrupt officials want to make some money from it.
If you can avoid selling your children, you are considered a wealthy family.
Zhu Gaoxun looked at Zhu Zhan’an deeply,”I have solved these problems from the root.”
Hearing this, Zhu Zhan’an immediately nodded in agreement.
That’s right, just changing someone to deal with the problems of the Chongzhen Dynasty, wouldn’t it solve the problem from the root?
But thinking about Chongzhen’s current situation, Zhu Zhan’an hesitated again and again, and couldn’t help but complain:”Father, you think too highly of your child.”The Chongzhen Dynasty is not something that I can handle alone. It’s basically rotten from top to bottom!”
The meaning of this was very clear, and Zhu Gaoxun also heard it clearly. This was Zhu Zhan’an’s implicit request to him.
Zhu Gaoxun pointed at Zhu Zhan’an and scolded him with a smile:”Are you still playing these tricks with me? I know you are in a difficult situation, so I specially asked the Executive Yuan to prepare 5,000 people for you. Although their levels are uneven, I think it should be enough, right?”
“Enough! Enough!”Zhu Zhan’an was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to hit Zhu Gao’s shoulder, saying flatteringly:”I know that my father will not let me go there alone…….”
This Executive Yuan is not a simple organization. It is a group of talents carefully cultivated by Zhu Gaoxun for the industrialization process. There are more than 10,000 people in total. It is already very generous to allocate 5,000 people to Zhu Zhan’an this time.
Moreover, with the education Zhu Zhan’an received, these people can also play a huge role in his hands.
“Go ahead.” Zhu Gaolin nodded and said,”Do your best. As for the Jiannu Tartars, I, your great grandfather, and your great grandfather will help you solve them.”
“But if you want to truly stand up, you still have to constantly cultivate your own strength and fight a battle to establish a country.”
“I don’t ask for much. It only took your great-grandfather fifteen years from recruiting soldiers to ascending the throne.”
“I’ll give you fifteen years to see what you can do…….If you can’t do it, don’t blame me for it.”
Zhu Zhan’an put away the joking expression on his face and became serious.
He knew very well that his father was very powerful and he could only be the crown prince for the rest of his life in the Tiancheng Dynasty.
Instead of that, he might as well go out and make a name for himself….
He looked at Zhu Gaoxun and said seriously:”I understand. I will not embarrass my father. I’m leaving!”
Zhu Zhan’an greeted Zhu Gaoxun and slowly left the hall. Before leaving, he glanced at the screen in the hall reluctantly. After
Zhu Zhan’an left, Xu Yuewei came out from behind the screen, her eyes tearful and full of worry,”Your Majesty, after this departure, will we mother and son see each other again?” A mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away!
Zhu Gaoxun sighed, hugged her in his arms, felt the softness and said:”You didn’t see each other just now, and now you are worried about me again. You really deserve to be mother and son…….”
As soon as Zhu Zhan’an was mentioned, Xu Yuewei became excited and stopped crying immediately. She said unhappily,”I’m worried that after seeing me, Zhan’er will not want to leave. He is a man who wants to do great things.”
Good and bad words about feelings are all in women’s mouths. It has never changed for thousands of years!
Zhu Gaoxun naturally would not dwell on this matter too much. He immediately comforted her,”Don’t worry, with my ability, you two will see each other again soon.”
After that, Zhu Gaoxun looked outside and smiled,”The weather is good, let’s play a game……”
“Your Majesty! It’s broad daylight now! Isn’t this a bit bad?”
“Daytime is good!”
“Your Majesty, it’s time to take a concubine!”
“There is no rush for this matter. I have made preparations.”
Two hours later,
Zhu Gaoxun came to the Jinshen Hall and found Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di waiting, as well as Zhu Zhanyu who was held in Zhu Yuanzhang’s arms.
“Emperor Grandpa…”Zhu Gaoxun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and asked,”How did Yu’er perform?”
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could say anything, Zhu Zhanyu struggled out of Zhu Yuanzhang’s arms and greeted Zhu Gaoxun respectfully.
“”Father!” Zhu Zhanyu said with a stern face:”I like my grandfather, and I want to learn from my father and make all the people in the Ming Dynasty like dragons!”
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoyi looked at Zhu Zhanyu seriously, then smiled and nodded.
He knew his own child well. If Zhu Zhanyang watched him ascend to the throne step by step, and his temperament was more like Zhu Biao.
Then this second and third sons, who were born around the time of his ascension, had the idea of having children, were more like Zhu Di in temperament.
Compared with doing scientific research and politics, what they wanted was to build a large territory for the Ming Dynasty…….In fact, Zhu Gaoxun also trained them in this way.
“Very good, when you go to the Hongwu Dynasty, you should listen more to your royal grandfather’s teachings.”Zhu Gaoxun warned:”If you dare to act recklessly, don’t blame me for punishing you!”
Thinking of Zhu Gaoxun’s punishment, Zhu Zhanyu couldn’t help but shudder, and hurriedly said:”My son will remember his father’s admonition!”
“This is our successor, but it is not your turn to teach him a lesson…….”
After the conversation between Zhu Gaoxun and his son was over, Zhu Yuanzhang happily took Zhu Zhanyu into his arms and said,”Don’t worry about Gaoxun. Can we not train him with kindness? Besides, Yu’er is also good enough.”
“Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa Huang, but I think that what my father said is right!” Zhu Zhanyu looked up and said,”Only by being in awe at all times can we maintain a good attitude and do the right things.”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di was stunned, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned.
After coming to his senses, Zhu Yuanzhang first glanced at Zhu Gaoxun, and then asked Zhu Zhanyu:”Yuer, did anyone teach you these words?”
“No!”
Zhu Zhanyu shook his head and said,”My grandson doesn’t like to play with those kids, so he often observes the master who teaches him. My grandson found that some of them often lose their original intentions because they are valued by their father, which leads to big mistakes and punishment by their father.”
“So my grandson believes that the most important thing in life and work is to keep your original intention, so that you can achieve great things…….”
These principles are very simple, and the adults present understand them.
There is a saying that goes, when you are successful, you will be surrounded by good people. (To read the novels of Bao Shuang, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
People like to be praised. If there are too many people praising them, they will naturally believe it and become arrogant, which will lead to disasters.
But these words came from the mouth of a nine-year-old child. If he really realized it himself, it would be amazing!
“Hahaha!”
Zhu Yuanzhang grinned with joy. He first winked at Zhu Di, and then said to Zhu Gaoxun:”Gaoxun! It seems that everyone in your family is like a dragon! We’ve made a fortune!”
Zhu Di, who was watching this scene on the side, had red eyes due to jealousy and felt sour in his heart…….All the good things are taken by the old man!
But Zhu Di soon thought it over, no hurry! There is still a long time, I still have a chance!
After laughing for a while, Zhu Gaoxun saw that the time was almost up, so he said:”Grandpa Emperor, there is no time to lose, let’s go to the Hongwu Dynasty to treat Grandma’s health first”
“Good!”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled at Zhu Di again, bragging nakedly: Look, even if you whispered to Gao Yi, what does it matter? He still likes us more!
Zhu Di was upset, but he didn’t dare to show it on his face. He found Zhu Gaochi and returned to the Yongle Dynasty in advance.[]
After Zhu Di left, Zhu Gaoxun smiled bitterly at Zhu Yuanzhang and said,”Grandpa Emperor, why do you always have to argue with father? Although he has done a great job in the rebellion, Zhu Yunwen is indeed a loser.”
“High……”Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said,”You don’t understand! We know he can do it. After all, he is the only one who can be crowned as the Wolf’s Lair as an emperor. But we can’t praise him or recognize him!”
“As long as we don’t recognize him on the surface, this kid will be angry and rush forward, wanting to make more achievements.”
“But once the anger is released, it is not so easy to make up for it. We are worried that he will develop the habit of being ambitious at this time, but becoming incompetent in the later stage.”
“That’s why I kept reminding him from time to time, so that he wouldn’t forget that even if he could see me, I didn’t recognize him.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxun said no more.
He naturally understood the reason.
But he believed that Zhu Di would definitely not give up, because of his character! In Zhu Yuanzhang’s heart, he was not���Zhu Di was angry, but he did not want to face the consequences of the failure of his own feudal system…….
But these things will eventually come to light, and Zhu Yuanzhang will have to face them.
For example, during the Chongzhen Dynasty, the country could not support nearly one million royal relatives. During the Hongwu
Dynasty,
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Gaoxun, and Zhu Zhanyu appeared in a suburb of Yingtian Prefecture. The reason they landed here was that Zhu Yuanzhang had specially chosen them so that Zhu Gaoxun could see the situation and make appropriate suggestions.
At this time, the Hongwu Dynasty was in the midsummer of the fifteenth year. The world had been at war for years, and the people were already exhausted. But under Zhu Yuanzhang’s rule, the people lived a good life, and the farmers’ taxes were not high. Compared with the troubled times, it was much better. As the saying goes, it is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times.
But these……It’s far from enough.
Zhu Gaoxun looked at the pale-faced people and couldn’t help but sigh:”Grandpa Emperor, in addition to promoting high-yield crops, the Ming Dynasty of Hongwu must also pay attention to business! Only when business is prosperous can it continuously provide blood transfusion for the court!”
“”The taxes collected from the people through hard work in farming can stabilize the country, but it will never make it strong! Therefore, the Ming Dynasty treasure notes must be reformed!”
This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang was criticized by later generations.
In the old court of the Yuan Dynasty, merchants colluded with officials to suck the bones and marrow out of the common people.
Festival money was collected during festivals, birthday money was collected for officials’ birthdays, and regular money was collected for officials’ daily lives…….Even when someone died in the family of the common people, they had to collect funeral money! Even if the common people did nothing, they still had to pay money, which was called”spending money”.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been exploited by corrupt officials and profiteers since childhood, hated corrupt officials and held a contemptuous attitude towards businessmen…….
Therefore, many policies in the early Ming Dynasty actually carried Zhu Yuanzhang’s strong personal subjective consciousness. It cannot be said to be bad, but it can only be said that it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, but it has buried many hidden dangers for the dynasty.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang has broadened his horizons, joined the emperor chat group, and understood that the world is not just the Ming Dynasty.
Especially after seeing the drastic changes after the commercial prosperity of the Tiancheng Dynasty, he yearned for it.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded to Zhu Gaoxun and said,”Then Gaoxun, do you think the Ming banking system of the Tiancheng Dynasty can be applied in the Hongwu Dynasty?”
“It is definitely applicable.” Zhu Gaoxun nodded and said,”But we must be cautious in the early stage. It is related to the national reputation. If we make a mistake, we will lose everything! Let’s put it this way. After the Chongzhen Dynasty is over, I will send professionals to help you, the emperor, to build a banking system.”
“But before that, the business tax system of the Ming Dynasty needs to be discussed reasonably. It is abnormal that the poor people have to support the annual income of the Ming Dynasty, but the rich do not have to pay too much tax.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was very embarrassed when he heard this.
Before that, he had fallen into a misunderstanding and believed that businessmen could only bring disaster to the country and the people. After seeing it in the Tiancheng Dynasty, he realized that a reasonable business tax system could provide the dynasty with a steady stream of wealth!
“I’ll keep this in mind.” Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said,”I usually turn a blind eye to the officials’ cold and respectful behavior, but I didn’t expect that the trend of corruption could not be curbed. How should this matter be resolved?”
“Grandpa Emperor, it is easy to solve, just improve the treatment of officials.”Zhu Gaoxun shook his head and said,”On the contrary, it is the ice respect and charcoal respect that is the real unreasonable thing.”
“Those poor children, who studied so hard but had no place to live at home, received frighteningly low salaries. And because their positions were too low, they could not receive any filial respect. Forced by their livelihoods, they inevitably embarked on the path of corruption.”
“Therefore, we can pay high salaries to maintain integrity and arrange reasonable welfare. But we must not allow privileges, such as tax reductions and exemptions. This loophole must not be opened! Otherwise, if they can reduce taxes today, they will dare to annex land on a large scale tomorrow and change this system to no tax!”
“The so-called dynastic contradictions, in addition to economic issues, are actually class contradictions in the final analysis! If a dynasty wants to ease the contradictions, money is indispensable.”
“These issues cannot be fully explained in a short time. When the emperor needs them, I will send professionals to explain them to you.
Many things cannot be explained in just two or three sentences.
For example, how to run the Ming Bank, how to collect commercial taxes, how to promote economic development, etc…….And so on, all of which are problems. But the most important thing is to have enough food, otherwise everything is just empty talk.
This is why Zhu Gaoxun was reluctant to elaborate. He wanted to wait until the high-yield crops were promoted during the Hongwu Dynasty and there was enough food before dealing with these problems.
“I understand.”
Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that these things were related to the foundation of the country, and there was no need to rush. Anyway, there was a precedent in the Tiancheng Dynasty, so they just had to move forward slowly.
So the two stopped discussing state affairs and quickly returned to the palace.
After arriving at the palace, Zhu Gaoxun planned to go to see Empress Ma without taking a rest.
But at this moment, a message from the emperor’s chat group made Zhu Yuanzhang stunned on the spot:”There will be millions of our descendants! ?”
Looking at the message, Zhu Gaoxun couldn’t help but sigh – what is coming will always come! ps: Please give me flowers, comments, and monthly tickets! Please give me rewards! Thank you all godfathers! Give some to the children!.
