Daming reckless man

Chapter 543 King Yu's Request

Zhang Hao followed Yu Wang into Yu Wang's mansion. Yu Wang was very happy. He was looking forward to Zhang Hao's coming. He played together when he was a child, but later Zhang Hao went to the barracks, so there was nothing he could do. However, this feeling is still there. .Soon, Yu Wang took Zhang Hao to the study and asked Zhang Hao to sit down, and he was also sitting there making tea.

"But what can you do with me?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile.

"Nothing, I just want you to come over to play, and the emperor asked you to come here to be on duty, but you didn't come here either! When are you coming?" Yu Wang looked at Zhang Hao and asked with a smile.

"How do I know, I have to wait for your father's appointment, otherwise, what's the matter if I come here now? Right?" Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"That's what I said, but I still hope that you can come here. Only when you come here can I know what's going on outside. Otherwise, I don't know if what the ministers said is true. Some people told me, The life of the common people outside is not bad, now the father is exempted from taxes,

Some people say that the people outside are very poor, and those officials are very hateful, oppressing the people and forcing them to rebel. Although I know that there must be such a situation, but is it like this in the whole of Ming Dynasty?I doubt again,
But, hey, Brother Manzi, as you know, my eldest brother is not in good health, and now I am in second place. Many people think that my father may make me the crown prince. At that time, I must deal with court affairs.

So I am very careful in what I say now, and I can't express my attitude. If I express it, if something goes wrong at that time, I will be in trouble, so I hope you come here, and what you say is true! "Wang Yu looked at Zhang Hao and said seriously.

"It's extreme when they say that. My Ming Dynasty has various problems, but it's not without good sides. But as a prince, you just said it yourself. The prince's health is not good. You really need to pay attention to some bad things. Okay, but you can't ignore the good ones, or you'll be extreme, and that's not okay.
Your majesty’s memorials were also written by local officials, as you have seen, as for these memorials, just half-believe them, local officials, either report good news but not bad news, or exaggerate difficulties and take themselves out! "Zhang Hao sat there and said to King Yu.

"Well, I know, my father also told me this, but I still want to hear the truth! For example, this time, I heard rumors about the corruption of officials in the household department, saying that my father is trying to control the salt. It’s not fair to many officials here because the money and tariffs are deliberately made out like this!” Yu Wang continued to talk to Zhang Hao.

"What? There are such rumors, do you know who said it?" Zhang Hao frowned immediately when he heard it, and asked King Yu.

"I don't know who said it, but I also heard it from my servants!" King Yu said shaking his head.

"Well, Your Majesty, what His Majesty does is not money, but the cleanliness of the officials. If the officials of the Ministry of Households are dedicated to the public, tell me, can Your Majesty still worry about giving them money?

Your Majesty prepared this money to save the Ming Dynasty. Others don’t understand, but you need to know that this money is to buy land for the people so that the people have land to plant. As long as there is land to plant, the people will not Will think about rebellion, if the people don't rebel, then the world will belong to Ming Dynasty,

In the last year, you have also heard how many people rose up in rebellion. Although there was no success in the future, once Daming continues to be chaotic like this, it is inevitable that some people will succeed.
Moreover, civil strife will only consume my Ming's strength, but outside, there are still Tatars and Oirats, and when the enemy takes advantage of it, my Ming will be finished. Last year, the Tatars came to the capital, which is the reality example of! "Zhang Hao immediately confessed to King Yu that Sun Whohu needs to know these things, if he doesn't know, then Daming will be in trouble.

"Well, what Brother Manzi said is still reasonable. The government must be clear so that the common people can live and work in peace and contentment!" King Yu nodded and said.

"That's right, those officials are already used to corruption. They don't use the court money as money. How can they do it? Therefore, it is right to deal with them. There are so many scholars in my Ming Dynasty, and there is no shortage of people to serve as them." Officials, only good officials are missing, good officials who work for the people!" Zhang Hao sat there and nodded.

"Well, yes, but after you come over next year, you need to take me out to have a look. I want to go out, but I don't have this opportunity, and I don't know how the people outside live!" Yu Wang was a little bit at the moment. Said longingly.

"That's not easy. You can go out by yourself that day, and you just need to bring enough guards. It's good to know more about the people. It's better than listening to others. But now, I guess, those officials are also staring at you. , the crown prince’s side, it’s probably troublesome, I heard that he’s in poor health, hey!” Zhang Hao said with a sigh.

"Well, it won't work when winter comes. Dr. Li said that there is no way to do it now. He can persist for a year. He still listened to your advice. Otherwise, he would have died a long time ago. The poisoning is too deep!" King Yu He nodded and said, also a little sad,

Although the prince is gone, I have a chance, but for him, who has never thought of competing for this position before, it is still a matter of affection. The prince is his brother, isn't he?

"That's no way, hey! You have to be careful yourself. I think His Majesty has told you that His Majesty was forced to stay in the alchemy room a few years ago, and he didn't dare to come out. It is conceivable that some people are so terrified." Great!" Zhang Hao looked at King Yu and reminded him.

"I know, father reminded me!" Yu Wang nodded and said, then looked at Zhang Hao and asked, "Do you know who those people are?"

"Huh? Didn't His Majesty tell you?" Zhang Hao looked at King Yu and asked.

"No, do you know?" Yu Wang continued to stare at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Interested groups, His Majesty wanted to govern Daming well when he cleaned up, which affected the interests of some people, so those people united to take revenge on His Majesty, including the incident in the harem back then, and the matter of the crown prince. People's revenge, so we must break the interests of these people, otherwise, those people are too arrogant!" Zhang Hao continued to speak to him.

"Is there a specific person?" King Yu continued to ask.

"Yes, the officials of the current dynasty and the vassal kings, and the local officials, big landlords, and big businessmen. These people have always colluded with each other. Those vassal kings are the most powerful. This year, His Majesty killed two vassal kings. Give those vassals a warning,
However, what followed was their revenge, including this time those officials wanted money for salt and tariffs. confiscating those lands, so they want to stop this,

However, after the investigation of corruption this time, we are very close to His Majesty's goal of 3000 million mu. It is estimated that there is still [-] million mu. It is not a big problem. Next year His Majesty will investigate local officials. There are a lot of unclean ones. I will check them when the time comes. In addition to the land I will buy next year, I guess the difference will not be much different.

With these lands, it is impossible for the people to rebel. If the people rebel, those people will not be able to jump up, including those vassal kings. So this year, His Majesty is also very tired. He has to fight with those vassal kings and ministers Zhou Xuan, but it's not bad, His Majesty still won this year, and Daming is getting better and better! "Zhang Hao sat there and explained to King Yu with a smile.

"Oh, no wonder, no wonder my father looks at it with a map every day, and also calculates the land of the whole world!" Sitting there at the moment, King Yu suddenly realized.

"His Royal Highness King Yu, if this is accomplished, it will be a huge wealth for you and future emperors. This wealth will ensure the stability of the world!" Zhang Hao said to King Yu, and King Yu ordered nod.

"Well, it still needs your assistance. If it weren't for your assistance, father would not be able to do such a big thing!" King Yu said looking at Zhang Hao.

"That's nonsense, it doesn't matter whoever it is, it's better for His Majesty to strategize, I just do things!" Zhang Hao said with a smile and waved his hands.

"Well, let's not talk about this, my side, um, encountered a difficult thing!" King Yu looked at Zhang Hao and said, Zhang Hao knew that this was the purpose of King Yu's invitation to come here.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Hao asked Yu Wang pretending not to understand.

"That's right, I'm a little uncle who is now a member of Jinyiwei in Jiangxi Province. I want to transfer to Shandong this time. I wonder if it's okay?" King Yu looked at Zhang Hao and asked.Zhang Hao continued to pretend to be confused and said: "A hundred households is still your uncle. Why do you want to go to Shandong, so I will transfer him to the capital? It's so good, why go so far?"

"No, he said he didn't want to come to the capital, but he just wanted to go to Shandong. I wonder if you can arrange it?" King Yu immediately shook his head and said.

"Oh, I know what's going on!" Zhang Hao said at this moment pretending to suddenly realize.

"What's the matter?" King Yu immediately asked after hearing this.

"Well, His Royal Highness Yu Wang, I won't say much else, just two sentences. The first sentence is that you are the future prince, and the world is yours. You need to consider many things from a higher position. The second sentence The thing is, go and find out how much money your little uncle has, how much land, and how he got it!" Zhang Hao looked at King Yu and said.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, King Yu knew that something was going on here, and immediately looked at King Yu.

"Other things, I can't say, I'm going to move those hundreds of households in the local area, but this involves too much! For example, you have uncles, hey!" Zhang Hao said to King Yu with a wry smile.
