“It’s a free addition to the imperial court’s financial resources, why not?”

Zhu Yunxi's words made the officials in Feng'an Palace have mixed expressions.

Some people were whispering to each other, some were contemplating with their eyes closed, and some were calculating silently in their minds.

But no matter who it is, no one can find any problems now.

The post station was transformed into a postal service, using the country's delivery methods and transportation hubs to deliver letters and goods to the people and provide convenience for business travel. This was the virtuous policy of the imperial court.

When they thought about the huge financial dividends that would be generated by the issuance of various bills, as well as the prosperous commerce, no one was unmoved.

We are all veteran ministers, and we can calculate with a little calculation how much benefit King Wu's suggestion can bring to the country.

If used properly, the annual income would be no less than a million, which is equivalent to the tax revenue of five states. Moreover, this financial resource is not limited by God, no matter whether it is a good year or a bad year.

Zhan Huixian, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said, "Your Majesty, I think His Highness King Wu's proposal is feasible, and I second it!"

Fu You, the Minister of Household Affairs, also said, "I second the proposal!"

Shaoqing of Dali Temple, "I second your proposal!"

The initial website address is https://m.

Taichang Temple, which is in charge of the world's military and horses, "I second the proposal!"

Finally, the head of the Ming Dynasty officials, Shusheren Liu Sanwu, said, "I also agree, but running a big country is like cooking a small delicacy. Everything should be planned before taking action! The reform of the post station is not a trivial matter. It affects the whole body and requires careful consideration!"

"Liu Xueshi is very experienced in planning for the country!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "I just made a statement, and the key points and details need to be carefully considered by all ministers. I am just a little clever, and I still need you to govern the country!"

All the ministers said, "I am ashamed!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the high-spirited Zhu Yunxi standing next to him, and his heart was filled with joy.

"You brat, you know how to hide your clumsiness, know your own strengths and weaknesses, know how to be neither arrogant nor impetuous, and the most rare thing is that you know what to catch and what to let go!"

A king should propose a general outline, and then let his ministers draw out the details.

No matter how good the program is, the most important thing is not to be impatient, but to be steady and cautious. And you must know the role of ministers.

"Boy, at your age, your father is not as smart as you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied and had a smile on his face.

Thinking of this, he stood up from the throne and said, "Xier, starting from tomorrow, I have read in the morning. You go to the cabinet duty room and discuss with all the ministers how to reform the post station, how to implement it, and how to enact it!"

"

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became serious, "Since the imperial court wants to open the post station to the public, it also needs to establish a strict reward and punishment system. Do you understand?"

"My grandson understands!" Zhu Yunxi said, "The emperor is afraid that his good governance will be used by the post officials to enrich their own pockets. The emperor is afraid that the postmen will not pay attention to the delivery, resulting in the loss of letters and goods.

The face of the imperial court!"

"You can teach me!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, "Remember, this is a good thing for the people of the world! Don't do it badly and let the people of the world scold our old Zhu family behind our backs!"

"My lord, I obey the order!" Zhu Yunxi knelt down and said.

"We, the two of you, are not ministers!" Zhu Yuanzhang helped Zhu Yunxi up and smiled, "You have made a great contribution, raising money for the court, increasing tax revenue, and solving problems for the emperor and father!" Laughing, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ministers.

, "Xie'er, tell me, what do you want? Grandpa Huang will reward you!"

When all the ministers looked at the two grandfathers and grandsons, their hearts were in turmoil again.

The emperor was nurturing his grandson as if he were his heir. The affection in his eyes and the concern in his words could be seen by anyone who was not blind or deaf.

Others were fine, but those old ministers of the East Palace almost cried on the spot.

"My grandson has something to do, please allow Grandpa Huang to do it!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.

"Say!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the ministers and knelt down again, "My grandson asks the emperor to allow the vassal king to come to Beijing to celebrate his birthday on his birthday in October!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and all the ministers were stunned.

"The members of the flesh and blood group are the joy of family relations. Grandpa Huang is the supreme leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan and has many descendants, but no one can serve him at his knees!" Zhu Yunxi said loudly, "My grandson saw that Grandpa Huang was busy with things every day, playing from morning to

I’m alone all night, and I feel so sad!”

He said, wiping his eyes, "It's not that the emperor doesn't want the family to be reunited, but he is afraid that the vassal king will bring difficulties to the local finances! Today, my grandson has made a contribution and opened up a source of revenue for the court. I dare to ask the emperor's permission to let my uncles enter the capital.

,Congratulations on your birthday to the old man!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was moved. He promised Zhu Yunxi to speak whatever he wanted, but he did not expect that the child would not want anything, as long as he, an old man, could see his children and grandchildren on his birthday.

What a filial child! What a sensible child! The Forbidden City is deserted, why don’t I want to reunite with my family and enjoy family happiness?

"My grandson has already calculated it. If the uncles don't make a big fuss and only bring a few people to Beijing, the expenses will be very small." Zhu Yunxi raised his head and said, "The Ministry of Revenue can advance the money to the local government, and the lord can only spend the designated amount."

The quota doesn’t cost much!”

With that said, Zhu Yunxi looked at the Minister of Household Affairs and smiled and said, "If Master Fu feels embarrassed, I can pay for it myself!"

"Where did you get the money?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

"My grandson is now the King of Wu. Although he has not yet left the fiefdom, according to Ming Dynasty law, princes who do not have a feudal lord are entitled to a salary of ten thousand taels of silver per year. My grandson can advance his salary for ten years to his uncles as money for their travel expenses."

."

After saying that, Zhu Yunxi smiled mischievously, "Since my grandson is guarding my grandpa, there is no place to spend this money, so there is no need to use it on my own family!"

"My dear ministers, which emperor in the past and present has such a virtuous, filial and benevolent grandson?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt greatly relieved and at the same time he felt very proud.

In terms of martial arts, he was inferior to Emperor Qin and Han in martial arts. But in terms of family management, the two great emperors were far inferior to him. And those two emperors definitely did not have such good grandsons.

Not only those two people, but even among all the emperors in the past dynasties, who could have such a well-behaved, sensible, sincere and filial grandson, as well as the talented and capable grandson of the country!

"The King of Wu is pure filial piety, and the ministers congratulate His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty!" The ministers prostrate themselves again.

Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs, spoke first, "Your Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor's grandson, His Royal Highness King Wu, is sincere and filial. Reuniting the bones is a great gift of human relations. I think that what His Highness King Wu said is feasible, and I also ask for your permission to allow the vassal king to come to the capital!"

"I second my opinion!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was full of pride and joy, but his ministers had another kind of heart.

Take Zhan Hui as an example. He saw another thing from Zhu Yunxi's proposal.

That is virtue!

Once Zhu Yunxi becomes the emperor's grandson, what he said and did today regarding King Fan's visit to the capital will become a benevolence and filial piety that will be sung through the ages. It will make those vassal kings secretly grateful.

At the same time, there was also a great righteousness of filial piety and a great righteousness of honor on the heads of those feudal princes.

To put it more simply, it is the grandson of the old man who celebrates his birthday and calls back all the uncles and uncles who were sent away by the family division to have fun together.

It is a good name among the people, let alone the Zhu family and the Ming Dynasty?

"Accurate!" Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Yunxi's hand and became more and more satisfied as he watched. However, his heart suddenly felt a little sad and he lost his temper for a moment, "God has made us lose our son, but it still took pity on me, an old man, and gave us a good grandson!"

"

While the grandfather and grandson were deeply in love, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the palace.

A guard came in with a book that should have an urgent seal, knelt down and said loudly, "Your Majesty, there is an emergency at the border!"

In an instant, the kindly old man-like ordinariness of Zhu Yuanzhang faded away, and he quickly transformed into a battle-hardened general with eyes as sharp as a knife.

"Bring it up!"

Zhu Yunxi walked down the steps, took the urgent memorial from his grandfather, and presented it to him.

"Huh!" He just heard a cold snort, and Zhu Yuanzhang sneered on his face.

"Grandpa Huang, what's wrong?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

"The fake Yuan Taiwei also preceded Timur and led his troops to attack the border!" As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and laughed, "As soon as our tiger took a nap, the mice started to come up with their noses. Come on! Summon the generals."

Go to the palace." After that, he continued to the eunuch beside him, "Bring a stool to King Wu and sit next to us!"
