A man has so many plans for his family and country!
Zhu Yunxi has always felt that he has the responsibility to lead this ancient empire to a better path. And he has an innate perspective of God, which can also save this country from taking many detours.
But there are many things that cannot be rushed and must be taken slowly.
The change of post station to post office seems to be to ensure smooth roads now, and in the future it will be extended to the country's infrastructure construction.
The collection of commercial taxes will become more and more complete in the future, so that the burden of the country will not entirely fall on farmers.
Reforming the currency system can better promote commerce and revitalize the economy.
Dividing farmers into acres will bring a large number of individual farmers to the country. These individuals will become the strongest main body of the Ming Empire in the future.
If everything goes well, in five years the Ming Dynasty's national power will be more than just improved.
Under these macro-level policies, the reduction of vassal states ensured the power of the central government, the abolition of the privilege of not paying taxes, the continuous use of foreign troops, the expansion of territory, the establishment of immigrants and towns, and the establishment of sea bans, etc. were just a matter of course.
Only by doing these basics well can you develop your ambitious plans.
Seeing that the old man expressed his support and was even willing to help his grandson do those difficult things, Zhu Yunxi was deeply moved.

"Grandpa Huang, thank you!"
"Go away, you are a fake!" The old man laughed and scolded, stretched out his legs and said, "Hey, the child has no conscience when he is old, so he just talks nice!" He said, mouthing downwards, "Earlier, if you saw me lying here, you would have come up long ago.
Beat our legs!"
"My grandson will beat your legs!"
Next to him, Pu Bucheng promptly placed several soft cushions. Zhu Yunxi knelt on them and gently helped the old man beat his legs, "Grandpa, not only these, my grandson is also thinking about the expenses of our palace. In fact, it's okay."
Less, less! Look, our palace spends about three hundred thousand a year on Guanglu Temple’s account books, and sometimes we can’t stop it!”
The old man frowned and said, "We have been diligent and thrifty in the past dynasties, so how can we still spend so much?" As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and asked, "Are there corrupt officials? They have squandered money?"
"A big family has a big business, so it costs a lot. There are so many slaves in the palace. They all have the reputation of the Tian family, and their food and supplies are all good, so they naturally spend more. My grandson thought, some of the older palace maids, etc.,
You can give some money and put it home and allow marriage!"
"With fewer people, the expenses will also come down. From now on, the expenses in our palace will be calculated by both the Ministry of Revenue and Guanglu Temple, and a fixed quota will be guaranteed every year."
"Well!" The old man snorted and closed his eyes. "You can make up your own mind about these little things! But we don't think it's necessary. Think about it, if you let the officials look at your money bag, what will happen in the future?
If you want to spend money, it’s difficult!”
"My grandson has no place to spend money!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Besides, the Lianghuai salt tax goes into Da Nei's private treasury, so how can there be a shortage of money?"
"We are used to being poor, so we can do whatever we want!" the old man continued, "but you have to think about future generations. The Ming Dynasty has a great cause, no matter how much money you save, it will not be inferior to ours! In addition to the expenses we have to spend, in the future your son
Do we need money for the enfeoffment? When you want to ask the official for it, it will be too late! The official is hateful, if you say something, he will wait for you a hundred times!"
How to divide the family and the country into the world?
In fact, the most deep-rooted thing in this country is that there is no distinction between emperor, family and country.
Even the wisest and most powerful emperor is like this.
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes and looked directly at Zhu Yunxi, "You're not feeling right today, you're crying all the time. You're talking about the imperial palace and the palace's expenses are too high. What are you going to do?"
Looking at it, the old man frowned and said, "Boy, do you still want to say that our Xiaoling Mausoleum project is too big!"
The old man's Xiaoling Mausoleum was stopped for a while due to the death of Prince Zhu Biao, and a lot of things were divided, so overall it is not completed yet.
The Xiaoling Tomb is so grand in scale that it was only completed in the Yongle year in history. It involved countless people and financial resources, and it is absolutely huge.
"How dare your grandson?" Zhu Yunxi felt that he had been wronged. How could he dare to do this?
The reason why he wants to reduce expenditure is because he plans to impose a sea ban next. To change something, you must first let others see the benefits.
Officials and ministers will never give money to Zhu Yunxi to build a fleet. They will not approve of his ocean voyage. He can only pay for it out of his own pocket, and when the fleet returns with a full load, he will slap those conservatives in the face.
But the fleet cost too much money, so Zhu Yunxi took precautions.
"I'm sorry you don't dare!" the old man said with his eyes closed.
"Also, when my grandson conquered Goryeo last year, he found that some officials in Liaodong were unusable and wanted to adjust them!" Zhu Yunxi continued to beat his legs and said, "For example, the commanders in Peking, the political ministers, and the officials of the Chief Secretary, etc. A few years later
, several young uncles must also be divided over there, and preparations must be made in advance for things like the palace, soldiers, horses, and fields!"
"Moreover, the original Liaodong capital also needs to be adjusted. Uncle Han Wang has gone deeper into Liaodong than his fourth uncle, but he has too few soldiers and horses under his command, and the area he can manage is too small..."
"You make up your own mind, you don't need to ask us!" The old man interrupted, "You are the emperor's grandson. You don't need to ask anyone about this kind of thing. You can just dispatch it."
The implication of the old man's words is that you need to be quick in recruiting people and don't let any outsiders know.
"My grandson is still thinking about..."
"It's not over yet?" The old man suddenly opened his eyes, raised his leg and kicked it, "Go away and play with your wife. We are tired, let's take a nap!"
~~
When we came out of the old man's house, the sun was already setting on the horizon.
The afterglow of the setting sun and Zhu Yunxi's figure intertwined in the corridors of the palace and were reflected on the red wall.
"Kunning Palace!" Zhu Yunxi said to Wang Sha beside him.
"The emperor's grandson shows off..."
Boom, Zhu Yunxi raised his leg and kicked it, "What are you shouting for? Just lead the way. Why are you driving?"
The master and servant took several palace servants and walked towards Kunning Palace.
Because of Jin's birth, Kunning Palace has become the heart of the harem. Several imperial concubines are determined to come to see the young King Wu every day, and Zhang Ronger and others also come to talk to Zhao Ning'er.
As soon as Zhu Yunxi entered the house, he saw a group of warblers chatting and laughing around the cradle.
"See Your Highness!"
As everyone saluted, Zhu Yunxi and Zhao Ning'er looked at each other with affectionate eyes. Then they turned to look at Zhang Ronger, who lowered his head and glanced at her secretly.
"Your Highness just came from the Emperor's place?" Guo Huifei said with a smile, "Sisters, let's go. Don't delay the young couple, keep talking!" Then she covered her mouth and smiled, "Look, the young couple really can't get enough of it.
, I just came back and found a wife!"
The people in the temple retreated in an instant, leaving only the couple.
Zhu Yunxi walked to the cradle, first looked at Jin who was sleeping soundly inside, and shook his little hand.
Then he said to Zhao Ning'er, "How are you these days?"
"Your Highness will go out for a trip and you won't be able to talk anymore!" Zhao Ning'er said with a smile, "Is there anything else good in the palace?"
"Haha!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Well, I'll stay here alone at night!"
There are some things that you just don't want to think about. When you think about it, you can't control it. Zhao Ning'er is a woman with a round body. After giving birth, she became even more round and plump, with bright skin.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi slowly came closer and whispered, "I don't think I did!"
Zhao Ning'er flashed slightly and said shyly, "Isn't it dark yet?"
"What does the color of the sky have to do with the husband and wife?" Zhu Yunxi smiled, slowly stepped forward, and was already close, "Your hair smells so good..."
"Not today!" Zhao Ning'er moved away again, her face turned red, and she whispered, "I, I am not feeling well today!"
Zhu Yunxi was angry, "Here you come?"
"Um!"
"It's okay if you come!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly smiled evilly, "Last time you used..."
"Your Highness has no place to bury someone!" Zhao Ning'er pushed Zhu Yunxi away in shame and anger, "Is the child still there?"
"He?" Jin had already opened his eyes and looked here curiously. Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "What does he know?"
"Ah, he knows everything! Go somewhere else!" Zhao Ning'er started to drive people away, "Look at how you are scratching your heart!" As he said that, he remembered something, "I don't serve you like that.
Go find someone else!"
"Hey! I said it!"
The grandson of Emperor Zhu Yunxi was actually pushed out of the door by his wife.
The eunuchs and maids on both sides wanted to laugh but dared not.
Zhu Yunxi left the Kunning Palace dejectedly, feeling tangled up in his heart again.
"Miaoyun or Ronger?"
"Hey, having too many wives is annoying!"
"I am the only man who wants to share the rain and dew for everyone!"
After struggling for a long time, he said, "Shame on you!"
"The slave is here!"
"Go and find two pieces of paper, I want to draw lots!"
Later, two paper balls appeared in Wang Shai's hand. One was Miaoyun and the other was Zhang Ronger. All the slaves retreated far away, except for the master and servant.
"Slave is shaken!?"
"hurry up!"
Wang Shai covered the paper ball with his hands, shook it a few times, and scattered it on the ground.
Zhu Yunxi said, "The one on the left!"
"Your Highness, look!"
Wang Sha picked it up and handed it to Zhu Yunxi, who opened it and said, "Miaoyun!"
"Driving?" Wang Shai asked in a low voice.
Zhu Yunxi scratched his head, "Win two out of three games! Keep shaking!"
Shake again and choose again!
When I opened it, it was still Miaoyun!
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi didn't look right and seemed dissatisfied, Wang Sha asked tentatively, "Your Highness, how about three wins out of five games?"
"Go away, you are delaying the matter!" Zhu Yunxi kicked Wang Sha away again, and shook the two paper balls himself.
Silently chanting in my heart, "Heaven is spirited, earth is spirited, open!"
The paper balls fell to the ground, and Zhu Yunxi carefully picked up one and opened it.
"Zhang Ronger!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Show off!"
