If we say that when he first came to this world, Zhu Yunxi was thinking about how to win over and use Lan Yu and others, the powerful force of his relatives.
So now, now that the old man has recognized him as his heir, how to hold on more firmly and make good use of these Ming Dynasty's swords is the most important thing now and in the future.
When a person's status changes, his psychology will also change. This is commonly known as the butt determines the head.
Of course, for these military generals who fought hard for the Ming Dynasty and were the strongest in this era, what Zhu Yunxi was thinking about was how to protect them and how to make them shine brighter in the future.
To put it bluntly, in the future, if there is a military encounter with the King of Yan, there must be several qualified thugs under his command. And in Zhu Yunxi's heart, these people are indispensable for the expansion of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, if proper beatings and lessons can make these unruly and domineering warriors realize their own problems, then the monarch and his ministers will get along happily in the future.
Just like parents raising their children, blindly doting and letting things go will be counterproductive. Parents have no authority in front of their children, and the children may even constantly challenge their parents' status.
If something like that happens in a family, the children will be dissatisfied and the adults will be sad. If it is a country, the monarch and his ministers are at odds, which will eventually end in killings and affect the vitality of the country.
This is related to Zhu Yunxi's character in his previous life. During the years of training in the army, although he had never experienced war or seen blood, he clearly distinguished between orders and favors.
An army, a country, or even a small entrepreneurial team must distinguish between these two things, otherwise these two things will become another word, relationship.
Favors and relationships must be put aside for orders.

It's like Emperor Yongzheng in history, Nian Gengyao. When the latter was proud of his meritorious service, Yongzheng not only ignored all the memorials to impeach him for being arrogant, domineering, and illegal, but also ignored Nian Gengyao's memorials.
wrote this.
I really don’t know how to love you so that I can be worthy of the gods of heaven and earth!
In the eyes of future generations who have no class concept, these words are very popular. But under the Confucian monarchy, ministers can't help but feel even more arrogant. It is commonly known as "floating".
The consequence of drifting away is that when the emperor doesn't want to hurt you anymore, shoot him in the head.
(There is a saying that Yongzheng was good to Nian Gengyao at the beginning. Although Nian Gengyao was a bannerman, he was not Yongzheng's boss as some people said.)
Early on the next morning, the Royal Gate listened to the government meeting, and all the officials in Beijing with military rank or above attended. Outside the main hall, all you could see were blue and purple official uniforms.
Zhu Yuanzhang is wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair. Next to him is Zhu Yunxi, who is wearing a prince's robe and has a long body.
Under the sun, the boy's formerly thin body had gradually become plump and strong after several months of exercise, like a sapling that was growing vigorously and had a hard drive.
He is no longer the timid and mischievous young man who used to hide behind his father. Now he is standing beside Zhu Yuanzhang, with a majestic face deliberately showing, and a pair of eyes full of confidence.
Although there is a huge contrast between the two of them, one old and one young, they seem to be telling the ministers that this is a kind of inheritance.
"I am the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Fu You has something to say!" The Minister asked, and the Ministry of Hubu was the first to speak.
"Play it!" Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.
"The postal method created by King Wu has been tried out in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Songjiang and other places. The day before yesterday, the four places started selling various stamps prepared by the imperial court at the same time, and 140,000 were sold out. Suzhou Weaving Department
, the Hangzhou Propaganda Department reported that local businessmen were rushing to buy it, and asked the court to print it again."
A smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, "How much did you sell?"
"Back to Your Majesty!" Fu You said with a smile, "Money was collected from the four places and converted into more than 1.02 million taels of silver. The collected silver will be transported to the capital soon!"
Hum, all the ministers in the court meeting were unusually embarrassed, and there was a lot of discussion. That was more than one million, how much tax does a province earn in a year? Moreover, all the money collected was money, not food, silk, etc.
Things that need to be stored.
The moment Fu You finished speaking, Zhu Yunxi clenched his fist silently. He was shouting in his heart, success!
He finally made the first good thing to improve this era. This suggestion was not just a thought, but he did enough homework when implementing it.
It can be seen from local memorials that the prosperity of Jiangnan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang is beyond imagination, and the development of industry and commerce is even more jaw-dropping.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not only a land of plenty, but also the most important cotton cloth producing area in the Ming Dynasty. Yes, cotton cloth. This exotic plant reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty after its development in the Yuan Dynasty.
Not only did every household in the south of the Yangtze River have looms, but wealthy people also set up weaving factories in Songjiang, Suhang and other places. The largest factories employed hundreds of people.
Cloth, in this era, could be circulated and exchanged as money. It was precisely relying on the booming industry and commerce that Zhu Yuanzhang was able to accumulate a strong force for the Northern Expedition in just a dozen years.
A few decades later, it was these cotton and silk weaving industries that gave rise to the germination of capitalism in the Jiangnan region.
Business requires logistics, and Yingtianfu is an example. Before the implementation of postal services, there was no place to store the mountains of goods piled up by merchants on the docks.
They suffer wear and tear due to exposure to wind and sun, and they have to beware of petty theft. The emergence of the postal service helped them solve this problem. The post station could organize fleet transportation, send post soldiers to escort it, and store it at the post station.
It can be said that the postal service benefits the country and the people.
However, after the pride and pride faded away, Zhu Yunxu came up with an idea. The businessmen over there are so rich and have such a big weaving factory. Do they pay taxes?
It should not be paid. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted a light tax policy in order to restore peace to the world as soon as possible. Although he was a little dissatisfied with the merchants, he still did not increase taxes on them.
The advantage of this is that business quickly resumed and the circulation of goods was accelerated. However, the merchants became rich, but the country's finances did not improve.
Moreover, because the Ming Dynasty had policies such as tax exemption and privileges for scholars, many weaving factories and businesses were named under the names of famous scholars.
The monarchs of all dynasties have a consensus. Whoever they offend should also offend these scholars. Otherwise, they will be able to curse each other for hundreds of years.
"This matter is not easy to handle! You can't bring it up yourself anyway." Zhu Yunxi thought to himself, "It's best to push a scapegoat out and compete with those officials and businessmen!"
Just as I was thinking about it, all the ministers in the court knelt down and shouted long live, "I congratulate Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "King Wu came up with this idea. If you want to congratulate him, you congratulate him!" After saying that, he looked at Zhu Yunxi proudly.
"My ministers, please congratulate the King of Wu!" the ministers said again.
"Everyone, please stand up!" Zhu Yunxi's young face was not smug, but he was humble, and he said, "Young man, I don't deserve your praise. I just thought of such an idea, and I can achieve such results, all thanks to the Ministry of Revenue
, officials from the Ministry of Industry conducted careful demonstrations and local officials diligently promoted it!"
With that said, Zhu Yunxi paid homage to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Grandpa Huang, although the income will be reduced during the initial rush-buying period, it will also be an important source of wealth for the Ming Dynasty in the future. My grandson asks Grandpa Huang to reward meritorious ministers!"
"It's accurate!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, "The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works will draw up a list of meritorious personnel and come up with them. We will reward them how they should be rewarded!"
"I thank you, Your Majesty!" All the ministers kowtowed again.
Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs, looked at Zhu Yunxi and said loudly, "I congratulate your Majesty again!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, "Didn't you just finish congratulating me? What are you congratulating?"
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to Daming, for getting a good king!" Zhan Hui said loudly, "Although the king of Wu is young, he is humble and considerate of his ministers. He does not greedy for merit or seek credit, and he is broad-minded and takes the world as his own responsibility!" With that, Zhan said
Hui bowed again and said, "I congratulate my emperor on having a great grandson!"
"Hahaha!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "Okay, you're right to congratulate me!"
If a minister tries to flatter the old man, he may not be able to do so well. If he does not do so well, he may easily get kicked to death by the old man. But if he flatters his grandson well, and if his grandson has a promising future, the old man will be so happy that his wrinkles will relax.
Zhan Hui and Lan Yu got close, and it turned out that they were the prince's old friends and Zhu Yunxi's own.
"This man's political achievements as an official are not outstanding, but his ability to flatter others is beyond the reach of ordinary people." Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi looked at the crowd, searching for another person who was good at flattering.
His eyes fell on Li Jinglong, who was in the queue of generals. The latter was also looking at him.
After Zhu Yunxi nodded slightly, Li Jinglong quickly stepped out of the queue and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"Play it!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"I am guilty, and I have failed to bear the divine grace!" Li Jinglong's forehead hit the stone slab heavily.
