Even after entering the bridal chamber, the marriage was not completed.
The next day, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi took his concubine, dressed in Gong and Zhai clothes, to see the emperor in Fengtian Palace. After the emperor gave a banquet, he met the emperor's concubines in the palace and summoned the emperor's wife.
On the third day, the grandson and the concubine met their ancestors in the Taimiao. That is to say, the couple knelt down in front of the tablets of the Zhu family's ancestors with their names from Zhu Chuyi to Zhu Maysi.
On the fourth day, the court will receive congratulations from the ministers.
"The emperor's grandson Jiali has been accomplished, benefiting the Mian clan, and the blessing of Longchang..."
There was a lot of talk, and then the emperor's grandson gave a banquet to express his gratitude, just like a grand banquet for ministers.
After all this is over, Zhu Yunxi's marriage is really completed. Unfortunately, he has been working hard every day to be strong, but after these days of hard work, he has lost a few pounds.
In fact, in his case, the wedding ceremony had just passed, but the hearts of the ministers were shocked again. On the day of the grandson's wedding, an edict was issued to reward the grandson's concubine in the Kunning Palace.
As soon as the news came out, there was almost an uproar in both the government and the public, and everyone was shocked.
Kunning Palace is the palace of the queen and the head of the harem. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been only one queen, Queen Ma, the great-grandmother of His Highness Taisun. After her death, the old emperor not only did not establish another queen, but also gave Kunning Palace to
Shelved it, even a noble concubine would not dare to enter without the emperor's will.
But now, it was suddenly rewarded to the grandson concubine? And the word "weilie" in the edict is very thought-provoking?
Remember the URL m.wxsy．
Is this great concubine so favored by the emperor? So valued by the emperor?
There is no such precedent throughout the ages! To put it bluntly, if the concubine wants to live in Kunning Palace, it must be after the concubine ascends the throne, but now?
However, these people thought in their hearts, no one dared to twist their lips!
The old emperor is talking about rules and etiquette. Huang Ming only has a direct grandson, the emperor's grandson. In the future, the country, the country and the country will be his, so what does a queen's palace mean?
If there is really a stupid person who wants to talk about this matter, I'm afraid he won't be able to hand over the paper to the emperor, and he will be sprayed with blood by the bachelors of Zhan Shifu of the East Palace and Zuo Chunfang.
What does it mean for the grandson to live in the Queen's Palace? Many people even thought in their hearts that it would not be surprising even if the old prince had a whim and abdicated directly.
Throughout the dynasties, emperors and princes were as numerous as enemies, and they were on guard against each other. The royal family even regarded each other as enemies. But I am the Ming Dynasty, my ancestors are kind and my grandchildren are filial, my superiors are united as one, and my dynasty is stable.
This is a sign of eternal prosperity!
Some people think so, but it is not unreasonable, because after the emperor's grandson's wedding, the old emperor immediately asked the emperor's grandson to take charge of the government affairs.
The so-called agency means that the emperor can exercise the power of the emperor on certain matters.
The Huagai Hall next to the Fengtian Hall was originally a place where the emperor changed his clothes before the imperial meeting. Nowadays, it has been slightly renovated. On the east side of the hall, in the warm pavilion, there is a throne for the emperor's grandson, a screen, an imperial case, a secretary, a Hanlin bachelor's degree, etc.
The emperor's grandson is used to act as an agent in government affairs.
In short, it is the emperor's official chamber in a smaller size.
As soon as he started acting in government affairs, Zhu Yunxi encountered a headache. The Ming Dynasty's treasury surplus last year was at its bottom again.
"Last year, the balance of the Ministry of Revenue and Lianghuai Salt Water totaled over one million. First it was the Chinese New Year, then there was the wedding of King Huai, and then there was you..."
Fu You, Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, led the household accounting department, Gieshi, Dakulang and others. They respectfully sat on the round stool opposite Zhu Yunxi and carefully reported the accounts to Zhu Yunxi.
"It's time to catch up with Gu's big wedding again. The sky is full of fire and flowers, and the flowers are blooming like brocade!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "This is more than one million, and it's almost spent like this!"
Zhu Yunxi felt a little distressed for more than one million. Tanghe wanted to build a few more large ships along the coast. The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry started a lawsuit over the discounts submitted yesterday. If this more than one million is used, it will all be used in the military.
superior........
However, I can't help but feel bad. Most of the money is still spent on him. The old man has lived a simple life and wishes he could break it in half with a penny. Only when his grandson gets married, he spends all his money. Why?
?
Isn’t it for the sake of his grandson’s glory?
"This has not yet been calculated. Is it a reward for the people of the capital?" Zhu Yunxi continued to ask.
"Yes!" Fu You asked, "First there was the Spring Festival reward, and then there was the reward on His Highness's wedding day. When the emperor was happy, he brought out 30,000 copper coins, more than 10,000 pieces of cloth, more than 40,000 kilograms of grain, and some wine and meat.
...... Everything else is fine, just copper coins......"
Tsk tsk, the old man is really generous. Thirty thousand copper coins are always one thousand Hongwu Tongbao. Hongwu Tongbao was only issued three times in total, and the most was two million coins issued in the 20th year of Hongwu.
The Ming Dynasty was short of copper, and the old man did not like mining. The ratio of copper to lead in Hongwu Tongbao was four, which was considered conscientious money in the past dynasties. Therefore, it was particularly strong among the people.
(Copper coins in ancient times were not issued every year. For example, during the Ming Dynasty, copper coins from the previous dynasty could also be used, and during the Qing Dynasty, copper coins from the Ming Dynasty could also be used.)
This reward of 30,000 copper coins not only emptied the treasury of Ouchi, but also the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue.
Fu You is a budget-conscious household minister, and when he talks about this, he can’t help but grit his teeth and feels distressed.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "The emperor gave it to the people, and the people will also spend it on the market, taking it from the people and using it for the people. There is a little less for the time being, so don't feel so bad!"
"Your Majesty, you don't know. The reward from the Emperor is money from the inner treasury, four pieces of copper and lead. It cost a lot just to make this money!" Fu You had a look of pain on his face.
This means that in front of Zhu Yunxi and the old man, he would not dare to have this expression. Otherwise, the old man would glare at him and say, "How come you still feel bad for spending two dollars on our eldest grandson?" He scared the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs to death.
Old people are like this. They spend their lives carefully, but when they spend money on their children and grandchildren, they are afraid that they will spend less.
"On Gu's wedding, the two kings of Qin and Jin gave him two thousand taels of gold, and later sent someone to take it to the Treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs!" Zhu Yunxi said.
"I don't dare!" Fu You said in fear.
"Listen to Gu!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and closed the account book. "Your household department will exchange these golds for silver or copper coins, and then squeeze out about 50,000 taels." As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi leaned back slightly and leaned on the throne.
On his back, he said with a smile, "You have read the book about Duke Xin. The Japanese pirates must be suppressed. The warships of the Jing Navy must be built, the selected soldiers must be given housing expenses, and the military forts in the coastal cities must be built.
This money cannot be obtained from the local people. Although Shu is poor, he can still live a good life."
Fu You cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness Taisun is a wise man!"
Since ancient times, the Ministry of Revenue has been said to be the country's treasury, but emperors and princes in the past dynasties have always withdrawn money from it. The emperor's grandson deposited his private house in the Ministry of Revenue, which is indeed a good story through the ages.
It has been twenty years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty when the Ming Dynasty took over this country riddled with holes from the hands of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. During these twenty years, the bulk of the annual financial expenditure was still military expenditure. As for people's livelihood, the policy was to recuperate and recuperate, so naturally the general
I can't save any money either.
Again, if you don’t become a householder, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are.
Zhu Yunxi slowly tapped the table with his fingers and said, "The stamps and the postage change will bring a lot of revenue to the national treasury every year!"
"Back to Your Highness, I see that the income is huge, but according to the emperor's wishes, all the money has been used to build roads!" Fu You said, "Now the inns in various places do not need subsidies from the central government and can be self-sufficient. The income of the inns is
They are all used in dredging canals, building roads and other construction projects!”
"It should be like this. If you want to get rich, build roads first!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Using postal money to build roads is a good cycle and a good policy!"
"This is all due to His Highness's kindness!"
"Gu just mentioned an idea. The specific things are still handled by the people below you. What does it have to do with Gu's benevolence?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "However, there is no balance in the national treasury every year, so there is no solution."
Increase revenue? Reduce expenditure?
Zhu Yunxi thought in his heart that in the future, the royal family's expenses could still be reduced as much as possible. When the day comes that he really arrives, he will establish rules to completely separate the royal expenses from the treasury.
The Ming Dynasty should be the Ming Dynasty for the people of the world, not the Ming Dynasty for one family.
I traveled through time, and if I let the entire country serve the emperor, I would raise a bunch of dragons and grandsons with cystic worms. Such a Ming Dynasty would not change the medicine without changing the soup.
"Let's stop the discussion here!" Zhu Yunxi said, "You have to worry about Duke Xin's military expenses. Please handle them properly."
Fu You hesitated slightly, "My lord, I obey the order!"
His hesitation immediately caught Zhu Yunxi's eyes, "What? What's wrong with you? Just tell me if you have anything, why are you hiding it?"
Before Fu You could speak, Guo De, the Accountant of the Ministry of Revenue behind him, said, "Your Highness, we won't be able to get this money together for a while. The money at the bottom of the Treasury box is reserved for natural disasters and wars.
And..." He said, looking at Zhu Yunxi, "Furthermore, the emperor gave me a decree yesterday to the Accounting Department, asking me to renovate Kunning Palace. I made a rough calculation,
I’m afraid I won’t be able to get it if I don’t have thirty or forty thousand!”
Renovate Kunning Palace?
"Hey, I still spent the money on myself!" Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly in his heart.
The old man has never renovated the palace in his life. The red paint of many houses in the palace has peeled off, and the old man is not allowed to paint it for fear of spending money. Now it's his grandson and his wife, good guys, who have decided to renovate Kunning Palace.
"Go and talk to the old man about Kunning Palace!" Zhu Yunxi looked at him and said, "Give Tang He the money spent to renovate Kunning Palace as military expenses!"
"My lord, I obey the order!"
"Are you from the Imperial College?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
Guo De, the official of the Accounting Department, replied, "I am the imperial eunuch in the 21st year of Hongwu." After saying that, he ate and said, "I and Lord Tiedingshi are classmates!"
Cheehyun’s classmate!
Zhu Yunxi silently remembered this person and said, "I know, let's go down!"
This man was brave enough to speak. He said what Fu You didn't dare to say. He was also quite smart and knew how to use Tie Xuan to increase his social status.
"Money!" After everyone left, Zhu Yunxi rubbed his temples, "You murderous knife!"
(Do you think that in the early Ming Dynasty, when you were so worried about hundreds of thousands of silver, you were making a fuss out of a molehill? In the early Ming Dynasty, there was a shortage of money and precious metals. Zhu Yuanzhang did not like to collect taxes. Later, Yongle went to the north. Although he was brilliant in martial arts, his people's livelihood was still poor.
It was also in dire straits. The finances of the Ming Dynasty were basically not very comfortable.)
