Chapter 211 Discussing Tao (1)

In the Ganqing Palace, only Zhu Yunyu and Zhang Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, sat opposite each other.

Zhu Yunqiu sat on the throne and looked down. He could clearly see that under Zhang Feng's official hat was covered with gray hair.

Zhang Feng is old!

Even if he is not old, the burden of the Ming Dynasty's steward has been suppressed by him in recent years!

"Your Majesty, are you going to fully lift the maritime ban after the new policy?"

Only the two of them, the king and the minister, Zhang Feng slowly spoke directly and said what he was thinking.

"Hey..." Zhu Yunxiu smiled, reached out to pick up an orange and spread it apart, then pointed to the fruit plate in front of him and said to the turtlema, "Take it to Zhang Aiqing!"

Outsiders think that the emperor's most trusted minister was probably Chang Sheng, Li Jinglong, Zhu Gaochi and others.

But in fact, as long as the ministers in the Nanshu Room knew in their hearts, the emperor truly trusted him unconditionally was Zhang Ju, who was taciturn and even occasionally sang a counter-topic with the emperor.

Because Zhang Jue was a minister who was specially reserved by Emperor Taizu Gao to Emperor Yongchang for the reassurance.

Throughout Emperor Taizu Gao’s life, what he disdains and hates the most is the moral integrity that scholars always say.

But what he admires the most are those who are truly moral and ethical!

And Zhang Feng is such a person!

"You guessed my intention?" Zhu Yunxiu gave an orange to his mouth and said with a smile.

Zhang Ju was silent for a moment, "Opening the sea should be a benefit to the country and the people!" As he said that, he looked up at Zhu Yunju, "It was impossible to ban the sea in the past!"

In the eyes of many people, the ban on the sea in the early Ming Dynasty was a bit incredible. Just because there were Japanese pirates, they were banned because they were afraid that the people would sail to sea and that no one would farm?

The so-called political ceremonies are actually microcosm of the development of the times.

At that time, shortly after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the entire empire had just escaped from the shadow of war.

But for the people, one of the consequences of decades of war is that there is actually no difference between the people and the soldiers and even the thieves.

The coastal areas have always been barren, and people who are not subject to the government's control often gather to cause trouble. Once the government fails to manage, these people will sail to sea and turn into pirates and flee.

In addition, the first priority of the empire at that time was to carry out production as soon as possible. The country did not need expensive imported products or flashy everything.

Need food, need cloth...

Therefore, the center of the empire was destined to not be placed on the ocean at that time!

And now, in Zhu Yunyu's era, all problems have been solved.

Without pirates, there is no need to be afraid of the people escaping overseas. The Ming Empire did not lack food or cloth...

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunxi smiled, "What should be a strategy that benefits the country and the people? That's right, what should it mean?"

"If you do well, it will benefit the country and the people, but if you don't do well..." Zhang Feng pondered for a moment, "Maybe, it will become a lesson for future generations!"

Zhu Yunxi put down the orange in his hand and looked at Zhang Xuan waiting for the following text.

"If you want to do it well, you can't be too anxious!" Zhang Feng said again, "In the eyes of the old minister, you are... too anxious now!"

He has already said it very tactfully!

I just said that the emperor was anxious, but I didn't say that the emperor, your ambition was too great!

"The new policy has not yet been settled, and there are already griefs in the south of the Yangtze River!" Zhang said again, "In the southeast, open the sea..."

"Your Majesty, I am old! When I was young, I also felt that everything in the world was all about kung fu and not afraid of hard work and those who have ambitions who can accomplish their work!"

"But until now that I am old, I understand one thing. Don't talk about many things in my life. It is not easy for a person to do something well and achieve something well!"

As he said that, Zhang Feng lowered his head, looked at the oranges in the fruit plate in front of him, and continued, "This way is also the way of the emperor!"

Zhu Yunxiu ate honey tangerine silently without saying a word.

Zhang Ju looked up again and said, "The old minister knows that the emperor has the ambition to soar to the sky, but the so-called "will be with the flow of things in the end. Too hard is easy to break, and too much is as bad as too much. I believe you know it, the emperor!"

"The sage kings have always been careful in governing the country! Because the land of China has too many people and too wide a territory, it will affect the whole body!"

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, all kinds of drastic reforms, civil affairs, military affairs, and agricultural commerce are now banned again!"

"Yes, your plan is right! If you don't deal with all kinds of disadvantages now, you can only leave them to your descendants!"

"But you don't need to be so anxious, there's no need to do more! You're eager to make the next reform before many reforms have been achieved."

Speaking of this, Zhang Feng slowly took off his official hat, put it aside, and whispered, "You always give all officials a time, a time from doubt to trust, and a time to witness the benefits of the new policy, right?"

"It will be too urgent, it will be messy! It will be messy! And now once the bad things are happening, everything the emperor did in the early stage will be vain!"

"Besides, you are still young now. I will say something very disrespectful, at least for decades... Even if your generation cannot do it, there will be descendants..."

Finally, Zhu Yunqiu raised his head and looked at Zhang Qiong.

"When you speak, what are you doing when you take off your hat?"

Zhang Jue paused, "Old minister..."

"I want to avoid suspicion for Qi Zhu's affairs and want to give up the prostitute?" Zhu Yunyu looked at Zhang Yu, "Then do you think, who should the butler of the Ministry of Revenue give to? Will Li Zhigang?"

"Old minister..." Zhang Feng's mind was full of words to persuade the emperor to do it slowly, but the emperor seemed to have not heard it at all, but turned the topic away.

To be precise, it is not a matter of the past. What the emperor said and what he said, not the same thing.

Zhang Xu talks about government affairs, while Zhu Yunyou talks about future appointments, removals and transfers of officials. Even the black hats of Zhang Xu, the officials of Zhang Xu!

He didn't react for a moment and could only reply subconsciously, "The Ministry of Revenue must not hand it over to someone who is eager for quick success and instant benefits like Li Yixing!"

"Tell me a brief explanation!" Zhu Yunxiu looked at Zhang Feng again, then put his hands on the plate next to him and pinched the melon seeds, "Qi Zhu is not corrupt, but his identity cannot be kept in Guangdong! But now, he cannot leave!"

"Around August next year, Chen Dewen will be promoted to Guangdong Provincial Administrator. Qi Zhuo went to Beijing.........Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!"

"You don't have to worry, opening the sea means opening the sea. It won't be like the new policy, which will make many people lose their official positions and lose their heads. It's not that the east wind suppresses the west wind, and it will not involve a power struggle."

As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu glanced at Zhang Xuan, "You know, what I hate the most is party struggles!"

"I am worried that you are young and energetic..."

"No matter how young and energetic I am, I cannot kill all those who oppose me, right? Then what have I become?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Zhang Aiqing put on her hat, don't get cold!"

As he said that, he clapped his hands, picked up the handkerchief and wiped it.

"As for what you said just now, I will inevitably be eager for quick success and instant benefits!" Zhu Yunsheng nodded and said, "Yes, I am anxious! Life is only a few decades long, how can I not be anxious?"

"Every generation has the responsibility of each generation. I have never believed in nonsense that future generations will handle!"

"How can they understand what my generation has not done? And what my generation does not do is leave to future generations, and what they leave behind is a disaster!"

"It is precisely because I am young that I dare to act so vigorously and vigorously! It is better to do the new policy, including rural, commercial, military and civilians, and maritime bans, and all need to cut the mess quickly!"

"It's right to be mature and persistent, but you lose your temper when you are too old!"

"Zhang Aiqing, please advise me, I will listen! But you must help me even more!"
