Please ask me to be the emperor

"Ah, ah, ah" When Zhang Shun, Li Sanniang and Queen Zhou rushed to Shi Moxi's yard, they only heard a lot of yelling in the yard.

When Zhang Shun pushed the door open, he saw Mo Shixi, whose face was red with anger, beating a child desperately.

The child was being held down by two "sinful women" and lying there with his pants removed. There were already several bloody marks on the child.

"What's going on? Why is it so lively?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Highness?" When Shi Moxi saw that the person coming was Zhang Shun, he dropped the willow branch in his hand and cursed at the child, "Next time I see you stealing something, I'll skin you alive!"

After she finished scolding and took a breath, she straightened her clothes slightly and bowed to Zhang Shun and Li Sanniang one after another.

"Why are you so angry?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw that she looked old-fashioned despite her age.

"If we talk about this, it's your fault!" When Shi Moxi mentioned this, he suddenly became angry.

"You said you have a bunch of biological sons, so what are you doing raising other people's sons?"

"Ahem." Before Shi Moxi finished speaking, Queen Zhou's throat felt a little uncomfortable.

No, where did your ability to silently offend people come from? Why can't I learn it? Zhang Shun simply couldn't complain.

"Ah? The Emperor," Momo Xigang opened his mouth and quickly looked at Li Sanniang.

"Would you like to come in and drink some water? I...I think this person's throat seems to be a little uncomfortable."

"She's very nice, no need for you to flatter her!" Zhang Shun rolled his eyes at him angrily before asking.

"How many children are there over the age of seven now? How many are over the age of thirteen? I think these children have been making a lot of noise recently, so I should find something to do with them!"

"Huh?" Mo Moxi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but cheered, "This is really great!"

"Let me do the math. There are thirty-seven people over seven years old, under thirteen years old, and thirteen people over thirteen years old."

"By the way, the oldest one is almost fifteen, so it's a bit inappropriate for him to stay with me any longer."

"Okay, if you are over thirteen years old, I will ask Gao Qiqian to find someone to take care of you, so you don't have to worry about it!" In this era, there are many people who get married at the age of twelve or thirteen. It is indeed a bit inappropriate for Mo Moxi to continue to discipline them.

"Oh, I'm not just talking about this this time." Zhang Shun suddenly realized that he had been diverted from the topic, so he took it back and said, "These children have reached the age of school."

"I'm just thinking about finding a few teachers to set up an in-house school to teach them how to read, so that they can do some things for me in the future."

"Ah? This relationship is great!" Mo Moxi was overjoyed when he heard this.

She had already had enough of these naughty children, and now that they had a place to go, she could have some leisure time.

"How about I become their teacher?" Even Queen Zhou was very interested when she heard this.

"You? If you can't do it, I have someone else to choose as teacher!" Zhang Shun looked at her and shook his head.

"Tsk, who cares?" Queen Zhou was unhappy.

"Later, your 'Xun'er' and '娖儿' will also go to school, can you take care of them?" Zhang Shun smiled upon seeing this.

"Ah? They can do it too?" Queen Zhou was overjoyed when she heard this. How could she care about Zhang Shun?

"Huh, just for this little thing, is it worth your trip?" Shi Moxi couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw the two of them suddenly flirting with each other.

"That's what I think!" Zhang Shun didn't know what his daughter was thinking, so he just smiled and said, "It's also a matter of driving a sheep, and it's also a matter of herding a group of sheep."

"Now that we are ready to open an internal school, why not recruit some clever orphans and enroll them in the school together?"

"You want to recruit orphans?" Shi Moxi's face turned green. You think I am too idle, right?

"Yes, but this time we want to recruit someone older, preferably between thirteen and fifteen years old." Zhang Shun affirmed.

"Everyone must be smart and clever, and don't be half-dumb."

"Once these people are recruited, you don't need to worry about them. Just go to school."

"Ah? This is good, this is good!" Mo Moxi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let them recognize you as their godmother later, and they will all take your surname!" At this moment, Zhang Shun suddenly turned to Li Sanniang and said.

"Ah?" As soon as Zhang Shun said this, Queen Zhou and Mo Moxi both looked at each other in confusion.

This stinky man still thinks about this "ugly woman" in his heart!

It turns out that Zhang Shun's previous method of recruiting supervisory students was quite similar to that of Zhu Yuanzhang. In fact, he was preparing to train a group of his own people and then release them at the appropriate time to complete the "operation" on the bureaucratic system.

Zhu Yuanzhang was like this at the beginning. He first quietly recruited and trained a large number of supervisors, and then when the time was right, he released them to measure the land and check the population. Finally, he formulated detailed fish scale books and yellow books, which became the tax collector in the early Ming Dynasty. The most basic basis.

It was precisely because of this that the Ming Dynasty mastered a large number of enslaved people and land in the early Ming Dynasty, which later led to the five conquests of Mongolia and seven voyages to the West.

However, nearly three hundred years later, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the original fish scale register and yellow register system had long been corrupted, and it was no longer possible for the imperial court to control the world's land and population.

This is also the fundamental reason why a large country is financially strapped, its army is seriously underpaid, and its military has suffered repeated defeats.

Today, Zhang Shun has achieved a huge military victory despite his excellent military capabilities and barely adequate economic means.

However, in the face of Ming Dynasty's original outdated and corrupt bureaucracy, it was still at a loss.

He originally wanted to use the Bohai Sea trade route from Denglai to Liaodong and North Korea as a pilot project to completely open up the maritime age of the Chinese nation.

But as soon as he mentioned this idea, he was blocked in every possible way, making it difficult for him to do it.

Just as he continues to push it, it may not be impossible to promote this policy.

However, as long as these people are in charge of it, this policy will definitely become completely different.

So, after careful consideration, he finally came up with a "dumb way".

What stupid idea?

Recruit adopted sons and teach them writing, accounting, trade and management.

Then, when the time was right, he would release these people, throw away the original bureaucracy, and create a new system for managing maritime trade.

This new maritime trade system will have six ports at Denglai, Tianjin, Kaiyuan, Lushun, Dongjiang and Kaicheng in North Korea as the core, and will establish trade zones respectively.

All ships coming and going stop at the trade area for transactions.

In this way, all ships coming and going are subject to import and export taxes, and transactions are subject to transaction taxes.

In this way, the imperial court will receive its taxes and the people will benefit from it, and a small number of people will not collude to make the most of the benefits and harm the imperial court.

Once the pilot is successful, Zhang Shun will further promote it nationwide and completely improve and control the entire route from China to North Korea, Japan and even Southeast Asia.

Only then can we further expand the ocean, guide this ancient and powerful country to join the era of great navigation, and compete with European hegemons on the ocean.
