Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 409
The six ministers have been confirmed, helping his precious son to slowly build up his prestige, Zhu Yunying, the emperor, has done a lot of things, and he has done some things he should do.

What Zhu Yunying did not forget naturally included sending Mu Chun back to Yunnan with extremely grand etiquette.

Many people think that Mu Chun received such courteous treatment because he is Mu Ying's son and a family member recognized by Lao Zhu.Or they also think that Mu Chun is treated like this because he is the emperor's younger brother-in-law.

It's just that many people understand that those factors will indeed make the emperor take a look at Mu Chungao.It's just that Emperor Yingshi attached great importance to the southwest border, Annan and other places, which is why Mu Chun received extraordinary attention.

It would be a lie to say that Mu Chun was not excited, but he knew it well.He needs to continue to govern Yunnan well, help the emperor stabilize the southwestern border, and clean up those chieftains and barbarians.In the future, Yunnan should also be one of the bases for marching into Annan and other places.

There is a long way to go, and now Mu Chun can't just lie on the credit book and enjoy wealth, he still has a lot of things to do, and he can't take it easy.

Some things do require a sense of ritual, and as an emperor, Zhu Yunying is very familiar with these things.Offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, or offering sacrifices to ancestors, etc., is also an important political activity.

Zhu Yunying is doing pretty well now, and he plans to continue to stick to some things.This is one of the emperor's responsibilities. He needs to express his attitude, and also needs to calm people's hearts through such activities.

Zhu Yunying, who returned to the palace, just continued to be busy with work, and some unexpected situations disrupted some of his plans.

And after these unexpected things are resolved, it naturally means that Zhu Yunying will start thinking about his next series of plans.

The list recommended by Lian Zining was not completely accepted by Zhu Yunying.Even if Lian Zining conducted some internal investigations, in the final analysis, some things that Lian Zining can see may be some 'superficial phenomena'.

After the actions of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, it is natural to find out that some censors are not as upright and clean as they appear on the surface, and they are more involved in various aspects.

Or even if there are no problems with some censors, the location where they need to go down still needs to be adjusted.There can't be any family power in those places, nor can there be any old relatives by marriage, etc.

Xu Miaoqing brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and said in a warm voice, "It's natural that His Majesty is dealing with official duties, but it's time to rest."

"I used to say that Grandpa Huang didn't know how to rest when he was busy. We only realized that we were really busy after we became emperor." Patting his thigh, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "So we have to let Yin'er practice to strengthen his body. To be king."

Xu Miaoqing naturally sat on Zhu Yunying's lap, feeding Zhu Yunying's bird's nest porridge.As for the maids and eunuchs, it is no surprise that the emperor and the empress have a strong relationship.Not to mention it is now, even when they were just married, they were not less greasy.

Speaking of which, Zhu Yunying and Xu Miaoqing are quite familiar, after all, Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue can barely be regarded as Xu Miaoqing's girlfriends.

Although Xu Miaoqing still wanted to stay with Zhu Yunying, but when she saw Zhu Yunying reviewing the memorial, she was not arrogant because she knew the iron law that the harem should not interfere in politics.

In the future, the cabinet will still become Zhu Yunying's senior secretary team, and it will help Zhu Yunying to simplify some memorials.Only the important points can be drawn, otherwise Zhu Yunying sometimes can't see the important points after writing this beautiful article, it's too much brain work.

This matter is not difficult, Zhu Yunying can do it now.It's just that there are still restrictions on the cabinet now, and the current cabinet should not expect to have too much power. Lao Zhu will not allow it, and neither will Xiao Zhu.

"I will rectify the Shibo Department when I go back, and the rules must be perfected." Zhu Yunying said to himself, "I greeted you before, and some people listened to it, but some people didn't listen to it."

"On the side of the Shibo Department, the clan and Wu Xun must take part of the profits. But the household department must also participate, and some benefits must flow into the national treasury."

Regarding trade, inspection department, tax bureau, etc. also need to participate in the past.Although the promotion of the chief of the Shibo Department is from the official position of the fifth rank, there are actually many benefits, and this position cannot be ignored.

"Businessmen can buy and ship goods from the Shibo Department, and act as a middleman." Zhu Yunying wrote carefully and said, "The imperial court has to control the products imported and exported. Smuggling and so on must continue to be severely cracked down."

Since the imperial court wants to control some things, it controls huge trade channels.Then things like banks also need to be launched at this time.

There is no need to worry about the banknotes. When Lao Zhu was in power, he withdrew the Hongwubao banknotes.And now Zhu Yunying is only counting the bank when making settlements, which also requires the joint control of the clan, internal funds, and the household department.

Naturally, Zhu Yunying would not treat such departments that are related to the economy and people's livelihood carelessly. If such departments are not well controlled, they may bring turmoil to the country.Or these departments are not well controlled, and those who get fat are some families and interest groups.

Zhu Yunying would not allow this kind of thing to exist, he would not allow such things that would harm his father and himself, if he wanted to pry Daming's corner, it would depend on whether his neck was hard or not.

Now that these things are about to change, it is natural to start thinking about the increase in business taxes. This is something Zhu Yunying has always kept in mind.

There were a lot of commercial taxes in the Ming Dynasty, mainly housing tax and overtax.

Among the residential taxes, there are official store money, banknotes, deduction tax, deed tax, etc., and there are often banknote tariffs, levying tax, gate tax, etc. among the overtaxes.

It's just that Lao Zhu didn't pay much attention to and resisted the commercial market at the beginning, so he came up with a tax rate of "thirty taxes and one", but there is no specific limit.Therefore, the issue of tax collection in the Ming Dynasty is often different from time to time and from place to place.

And generally speaking, the scope of collection is very wide, almost everything is taxed.

Zhu Yunying naturally knew that such a thing was not good, and he didn't plan to formulate a tax system to implement the whole country at once.He also understands that even in future generations, there are some subtle differences in taxation, or some different policies and so on.

However, if Zhu Yunying wants to formulate some policies, he needs to set a general framework and give the localities a certain degree of freedom so that they can have some flexibility and benefits in the actual tax collection process.

Zhu Yunying takes such things for granted, and these things are also things that Zhu Yunying thinks he should do.

Although the Ming Dynasty was basically an agricultural civilization, don't expect the commercial economy to be too developed in a short period of time.It's just that Zhu Yunying also hopes that the economy of the Ming Dynasty will be more active. The commercial trade of the Song Dynasty in history was extremely prosperous.

If agriculture and commerce go hand in hand, Daming is bound to become more prosperous and powerful, which is also Zhu Yunying's expectation.As for the Shibo Division, it is just an opening now, and it is just Zhu Yunying's attempt to further release the commercial market.

Some plans have been drawn up, and this is what Zhu Yunying has planned for a long time. No one can stop his attempts, because he is a relatively prestigious emperor.

But the most important thing is that Lao Zhu didn't object. Even if Lao Zhu didn't like Zhu Yunying's emphasis on business, it was not easy for Lao Zhu to brush Zhu Yunying's face.

As long as Lao Zhu is in charge, basically don't expect too many voices of opposition.

In fact, Zhu Yunying also knew very well that if he only relied on his personal prestige, he would actually be a little worse. Such a thing also required Lao Zhu to be in charge.

No one would question Zhu Yunying's throne, nor would anyone doubt Zhu Yunying's skill and control over the court.It's just that Zhu Yunying, who has self-knowledge, knows that now he is not on the same level as Lao Zhu, even if it is Da Zhu's prestige, Zhu Yunying can't match it.

There is no need to feel shabby to pull a tiger skin as a banner.After all, this tiger skin came from Lao Zhu, and it was something Lao Zhu supported.

Zhu Yunying and Xu Miaoqing worked overtime after finishing their official duties, and little Zhu was taken away by Old Zhu.If you want to raise a son, you have to work harder, the eldest son is hopeless, and now you can only count on having a second son.

Feeling that she hadn't slept, Zhu Yunying was called out by Wang Chengen in a low voice, and she started to prepare for going to court, and started another day's work.

After washing up, Zhu Yunying ate some breakfast, and strided towards Fengtian Hall in his ordinary clothes, waiting for the report from the civil and military officials.

It's not noisy, Lao Zhu has long established the order of civil and military officials to report.Naturally, Xu Huizu was the first to talk about the military situation of Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yunying basically listened carefully.

Now the Ming Dynasty does not need to use troops everywhere, so basically it is training, guards or food, ordnance, etc. issues.

Indispensably, some of the chief officials of the guards in various places performed well or were corrupt and perverted the law, etc. These are also some things that need to be dealt with by Zhu Yunying.

This is not too difficult for Zhu Yunying at all, just listen carefully.The presence of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is conducive to Zhu Yunying's control of military power, and at the same time, Zhu Yunying does not need to do many things by himself.

The ministries played their reports in their own order, and what Zhu Yunying was more pleased with was that there seemed to be no emergencies now, and generally speaking, the weather was going well.

Especially in terms of summer harvest, it seems that there is no big problem, although there are some natural and man-made disasters in a small number of places.But on the whole, this is another bumper year, so naturally Zhu Yunying deserves to be happier.

This is definitely a good thing. The Ming Dynasty really doesn't have much to worry about food security, and Zhu Yunying doesn't need to worry about the hunger of the people.

Since the grain is relatively sufficient, it is also necessary to further relax some restrictions on grain processing.For example, further liberalization of wine-making restrictions and so on, this is something that can continue to be discussed. The food in the Ming Dynasty is enough to eat, and it can also enrich the diet and life.
