First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 720 Review
In fact, Zhu Biao didn't care whether they were oppressed or not. In the feudal imperial society and the pyramid-like class power structure, no one is suffering. Unless he becomes an emperor, everyone is oppressed.

If the craftsmen's household registration is really more beneficial than harmful to Daming, then Zhu Biao will continue to maintain it, at most it will improve their treatment conditions so that they can still live.

However, according to the current situation, craftsmen are extremely lack of motivation and sense of responsibility when making various items for the government, including weapons, which often results in an astonishing waste of materials, because the craftsmen have no idea or desire to improve production efficiency .

It is understandable that the products made by craftsmen who can obviously be independent are completely different from the products made by free labor for the court.

That is to say, the quality of Tianjia's imperial products can be guaranteed, and this guarantee is firstly the craftsmanship of the royal craftsmen, and the second is that the eunuchs in charge use severe punishments to supervise the artisans to ensure this high quality. quality.

Although such a system of stratum occupational solidification guarantees the most basic production efficiency, if things go on like this, it will inevitably completely stifle the creativity and imagination of craftsmen, which is undoubtedly a backward system.

Zhu Biao took a sip of the tea offered by the little eunuch, but according to the current situation, it is impossible to reform artisan households in one go, especially military artisan households involving ordnance and so on.

If the entire manufacturing industry is not fully prepared, it will cause a lot of trouble if the entire manufacturing industry falls into a state of disorder and disorganization, and it will really affect the whole body.

However, it is possible to make gradual adjustments from some artisan households with lighter functions and less influence. The money and food are still much higher than that of ordinary farmers.

After having an idea in his mind, he wrote down his thoughts with a pen, and then sent the little eunuch together with these memorials to Lao Zhu's case. The household registration matter would never be implemented without the emperor's nod.

Zhu Biao silently prepared his words, ready to meet his father's inquiry. Lao Zhu is a relatively traditional person and doesn't like to change the rules so much.

But I didn't expect that after my father read it, he just looked up at himself, and then he ticked off the imperial pen and Zhu Zhu, and then buried himself in reviewing other memorials.

The stack of memorials and Zhu Biao returned to the prince's case, Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and added a few words, and then ordered the little eunuch to send it to Zhongshu Province immediately.

Such a big matter, no matter what, has to go through tomorrow's court discussion, but the emperor Zhu approved the prince's own handwriting, and he really wanted to carry it out.

Any policy, no matter how beneficial it is to the country and the people, will touch the interests of some specific groups, and it is not surprising that there will be opposition, especially how much effort the craftsman household system has saved the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, and how much it has brought to their officials. benefit.

...............

Guangdong Leizhou Guard played, the prince of Leizhou people, Yingyin, organized the pirate Deng Shu and others to rebel. The commander of Leizhou Guard, Zhu Yong, led his troops to kill him, and the rest of the party fled into the sea. One person, Xi Xiao's head was on the seashore, and he played a special report on it.

There were already hundreds of people, Zhu Biao frowned and approved the meritorious deeds and rewards of the Ministry of War, the Metropolitan Government, and then went to Guangdong with Yushitai to inspect, to see if there were any incidents of officials forcing the people to rebel, or if Wei had any suspicion of killing good men and pretending to be meritorious.

The barbarian bandits from Yongdao, Guiyang and other prefectures stole their orders, and the commander of Jinwu Youwei, his colleague Lu Lingzuo, asked to lead his troops to fight against them. Zhu Biao replied, "The barbarians are stalking themselves, and they are not calm. Now I order you to ask for it. The military affairs are based on benevolence. This is for the purpose of prestige, and it is stated that orders cannot be tolerated. If the order is clear, the people will be encouraged and tolerated, but the people will be lazy. Although the courage of the people with lofty ideals is small, they will help, and the people who are lazy will help. Killing, benevolence is used to appease the masses, and prestige is used to revitalize the brigade, and it is rare to be invincible!"

Kaifeng Mansion played, Chenliu Lanyang Second County, the shower river overflowed and hurt the crops...Relief of taxes and taxes for the common people, ordered the governor of Kaifeng Mansion to open warehouses to provide food for the people.

The pro-army Duwei's Mansion reported that in the first ten days of the year, the household department transported 710 shi of grain to the Liaodong Guard. It was said that it was worth more than [-] boats in a storm, floating more than [-] shi of rice, and [-] of the officers and soldiers were drowned. People, more than forty horses, the imperial court ordered You Si Hou to support the family of the deceased.

After careful investigation, it was found that his words were false, that Zhou Jie, a doctor in the household department, and Yang Zhuo, the left capital of water transportation, deliberately sunk the grain ship, greedy for ink, grain and horses, and drowned more than a hundred officers and soldiers. Your Majesty will block it, so that the ambition of the deceased will not be in vain, and his family will not be gracious. I respectfully invite the Holy Judge to set an example for others!
Zhu Biao's face turned red with anger. He had an impression of this incident. He thought it was a natural disaster and man-made disaster, and even asked the palace to provide some subsidies. He didn't expect it to be a fool who got greedy for him.

Are you really deceiving Bengong Kanren?

He ordered the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment to verify it. If it is proved to be true, there is no need to report again. Zhou Jie, a household doctor, and Yang Zhuolingchi, the left capital of water transportation, were executed in the execution ground in Beijing.

It is only natural to share weal and woe with wealth and honor.

Tolerance is good, but if the crime is not punished, it is called weak and deceitful, and it is not the appearance of a king.

Zhu Biao calmed down, it is best to keep the emotion of one matter in this matter, if it is brought to the next matter, it may be biased.

At this time Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "Biao'er, Tang He has already pulled out his camp and marched. You should take that Duan woman into the palace as soon as possible."

Zhu Biao responded: "Then tomorrow, first register as Liangyuan?"

"It's fine, that's all."

Zhu Biao glanced at Liu Jin who had just returned, and Liu Jin immediately bowed and retreated. He had to go back to the East Palace and report to the Crown Princess immediately. It was the duty of the main wife to arrange the ceremony of accepting concubines.

The time is a bit urgent, but Duan Qiangna probably won't have any objections. Daming will attack Yunnan with one country and one place. If she really has the desire to protect her family's blood relatives, she will understand and hurry up. Serving the prince in the East Palace is the most important thing.

If it is too late, the Duan family will be wiped out by Tang He, not to mention the position of the fourth-rank Liangyuan, and whether he can still be qualified to enter the palace is a matter of choice. If he can use himself to build a bridge to the sky for the Duan family, It is also worthy of the wealth and honor bestowed by the family in the past ten or twenty years in the boudoir.

There was no words after that, the middle father and father had their meal, and then continued to immerse themselves in reviewing the memorials. Until the evening, Lao Zhu hurried his son back to rest, while he continued to review the accumulated important memorials.

Zhu Biao didn't refute either. His father's physical fitness was one of the best among the emperors of all dynasties. The steel was solidified like iron, and it was incomparable.

But he didn't go back to the East Palace to rest, he moved his stiff limbs a lot, walked all the way through Fengtianmen and stopped on the Inner Wulong Bridge, and the little eunuch who accompanied him hurriedly went to the bridge to fetch smooth bluestones. Zier's big bowl.

Any servants who serve in front of the East Palace must come here to find their way, otherwise, when the crown prince is interested, and the father-in-laws are not accompanied by errands, should the master go down to pick up stones himself?
"Boom~"

"Plop~"

Throwing a few pieces away, I felt my mind relax a lot when I heard the clear voice: "Go to Chuanbu Shangshu and Xingbu Shangshu to come here to see Bengong."

"promise."

After passing the Neiwulong Bridge is the Meridian Gate, and the Liubu Yamen is not far away. As soon as Zhu Biao lost two bowls of stones, the two ministers came hand in hand.

"I will pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness Qianqiu."

"Well, the two lovers are free."

Zhu Biao clapped his hands and handed the bowl to the little eunuch beside him, then turned to face the two important ministers and said, "Qing Zhao, how is the discussion with the Ministry of Household regarding the wine tax?"

"Your Highness, since the alcohol ban was lifted for more than half a year, the rich and powerful have been making wine to excess, and the poor are not saving money when they see the profits. There must be chaos for a living, and the brewing of wine should be strictly controlled and heavily taxed!"
