Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 419
There is a lot of good news, which makes Zhu Yunying more satisfied, probably because he seems to have more expectations.

When Zhu Yunying was a little proud, Zhu Yunxie, the little brother, was extremely busy.For him, now is to do well the things that the emperor's brother explained, and there must be no sloppyness.

The seniority is small, and even Zhu Yunxi did not hold any prominent position in the clan's mansion.But everyone also understands that this king of Wu has a special status and must not be treated as an ordinary nephew.

The brothers who grew up together, the first three brothers passed away one after another.And the fourth brother is busy fighting the world in Dongpu now, which also makes Zhou Wang Zhu Wei very emotional.The world is impermanent, who would have thought that the brothers who looked more lively than him at the beginning were not only separated from each other, but also parted forever.

"Uncle Wu, we just can't make a post." Zhu Yunxi complained a little, but he was also envious, "Uncle Wu is still amazing. When a post goes out, Uncle Wang rushes over one by one. Don't delay."

Zhu Xi held up the wine glass comfortably, and said, "If it's normal, if you invite one or two Uncle Wangs to your house, then it's fine, and the big guys won't refute your face. It's just that these ten or so princes, who are you? Dare to go there?"

Zhu Yunxi didn't care about it anymore, and felt that Uncle Wu was making a big fuss, "We don't like to hear what Uncle Wu said, Brother Huang is generous. Besides, Brother Huang also knows about this, and we only invited the king after listening to Brother Huang's will." Uncles go to our house."

Looking at the serious Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Wei didn't know what to say for a moment.It's really hard to say about my nephew.

Although he knew that Zhu Yunxi was a dude before, he also knew that Zhu Yunxi was well protected by the current emperor.It's just that looking at it now, I still overestimated Zhu Yunxi, this kid really doesn't have the slightest thought.That is to say, the emperor is protecting him, otherwise this kid will definitely be tricked.

Even Zhu Yun, who thinks he is not very reliable, looks at Zhu Yunxi now, and he can only sigh with emotion that "blue comes from blue and is better than blue".

"Your imperial brother knows you know, your imperial brother is magnanimous, and it is not good for us princes to connect in private if we have nothing to do." Zhu Yu said to Zhu Yunxi earnestly, "Think about your grandfather, He used to not allow feudal princes to enter the capital together."

Zhu Yunxi did not approve of it, and the reason was very good, "We remember that one year, Uncle Qi and the others went back to Yingtian Mansion together. Besides, there are no feudal princes anymore, and the imperial brother is no longer bound by the clan."

It's better not to say anything, because Zhu Wei can see it.Zhu Yunxie's lack of heart is true, and in Zhu Yunxie's eyes, his imperial brother is naturally the best!

Now that Zhu Yunxi has such a virtue, it will be useless to say anything else.Then simply, let Zhu Yunxi talk to himself, and there is no need to take some of this kid's thoughts to heart.

This is also what Zhu Huan said in his heart. Although today's world seems to be free from the clan, it also allows the clan to do some things.Whether it is in the Shibosi or the court, it seems that the clan members are not just doing nothing, they can find something they like and find a way out.

It's just that they are all princes and bastards, and they all hold some idle positions, etc. It is obviously impossible to say that the current clansmen are "unfettered".

Even though today seems to be more magnanimous, in some respects it is indeed more generous to the clan.However, as an emperor, he would naturally be more wary of some clans, and would naturally restrict the clans from controlling some real power.

Zhu Wei knew some things. Although he could be regarded as one of the representatives of the dandyism in the clan, he was not a completely careless fool like Zhu Yunxie.

However, the relationship between Zhu Wei and Zhu Yunxi is good, not only because they are dudes and have similar interests.The more important thing is that although the two are uncles and nephews, they are both favored in the clan, so their identities are naturally even more special.

Now Zhu Huan doesn't want to go back to Kaifeng or anything like that, although the vassal king is really at ease.It's just that his interests are not in these places. He is also undertaking important tasks now, and he has been compiling books seriously.

Not only to sort out medical skills, the emperor also instructed him to compile a book and study crops with some scholars.These are more interesting things in Zhu Wei's view.

Of course, this is also because Zhu Wei understands that today's son's intention to cut down the feudal clan is obvious.Now it is better not to go to the fiefdom naturally, he can be regarded as the leader of the clan now, so of course he has to perform well.

There is no need to tell others about these things.

It's useless to talk to people like Zhu Yunxi, because Zhu Yunxi doesn't understand.And some of the other younger brothers are more or less 'disobedient', or they are lucky.

The clans came one after another, and with Zhou King Zhu Xi taking the lead, naturally there was no need to worry about so many things.Now that the clan is 'gathering together', there is no need to worry about making taboos. If the sky falls, there is someone big enough to support it.

Zhu Yunxi is still very clear about his identity, although he doesn't deal with some Wang uncles very well, or he has almost no contact with them at ordinary times.But at this time, when it is time to call someone, it is naturally necessary to call someone.

"Everyone also wants to know about the affairs of the Shibosi." Zhu Wei said slowly, he is qualified to speak, "The imperial court gives a lot of support to the clan every year, and you should know it well."

The remuneration of the clan is indeed very generous, even the 28-year-old Zhu of Hongwu has reduced a lot of his remuneration.But the prince's salary is still ten thousand stones every year.The annual salary of the eldest princess, the eldest princess, and the princess is comparable to the two thousand stones of the king.

This does not include silk cloth, and does not include the contracting of clan marriages and funerals.The grant of land is not taxed either.

It's just that some people also wanted to complain, and even felt that if it wasn't for the influence of Emperor Yingshi, the clan would have been treated better.You must know that before, the prince's annual salary was [-] shi.What's more, the current prince has no choice but to become a vassal.

Looking at his younger brothers or nephews, Zhu Wei continued, "Even if you don't do anything at the Shibo Department, the prince can still receive 2000 taels of silver every year. Not to mention that each prefecture also has ships and earns more."

Zhu Xi got up at this time, and said solemnly, "Grandpa and brother have treated the clan with kindness, unprecedented in all ages!"

What is a fan, Zhu Xi can be regarded as a qualified fan.What's more, in Zhu Xi's eyes, her imperial brother is naturally the best, and of course she unconditionally supports her imperial brother.

As for the other clans, they may not necessarily have such thoughts and ideas.Probably it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, and difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Although it seems that the treatment of the Ming clan is unprecedented, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the power and treatment of the clan were better.

Nowadays, the treatment of the Ming clan has been weakened a lot, which naturally makes some people want to complain.It's just that they only dare to complain in their hearts. They know what kind of situation it is now.

At this time, Zhu Wei continued, "We are also the clan order now, in charge of the clan roster, and record the crimes and faults of the clan. If we talk about the clan affairs, you will not have any opinions, right?"

What else do you have to say at this time? Naturally, everyone said that Zhu Wei was right, which is basically the truth.

This is indeed one of the responsibilities of the Clan Mansion, not to mention that Zhu Wei's seniority is here, so there is no problem for him to say so.Even if he didn't agree in his heart, he didn't dare to talk back on the surface.

"Your Majesty treats the clan very well, and the clan should also be grateful." Zhu Wei said slowly, "You should also know what happened in the court a few days ago. Many ministers are thinking of taking away the Shibosi."

Now the clan's children are full of foul language, and the output of Shibosi is no less than their salary.Not to mention that the dividends given by the Shibo Division are not small, the most important thing is that the Shibo Division has given some privileges to the clan, allowing them to go to sea to earn more money.

Some people in the court wanted to expel the clan from Shibosi, which naturally made the clan dissatisfied.If the emperor hadn't suppressed the civil servants forcefully, the clan might have started to make trouble at this time.

At this time, Zhu Wei also continued, "Don't worry about the matter of the Shibo Department, your majesty will not treat the clan badly. But now you should also know that the Shibo Department's settlement is all settled by Tong Bao."

Some clans began to be silent, although Lao Zhu's Tongbao can be circulated.It's just that in the eyes of many people, the utility of banknotes is very average, and where there are real money for banknotes, they still prefer real money for settlement.

It's just that there's no need to say anything more at this time. At worst, after getting the banknotes, immediately go to exchange the banknotes and exchange them for real money and bring them back to the treasury.

There are not just one or two clans with such thoughts, which can naturally represent the thoughts of many people.The clans all thought this way, not to mention ordinary merchants or ordinary people, they might be more eager to exchange silver notes for gold and silver.

Therefore, it is definitely not an easy task to change some people's thinking and their inherent concepts.Paper money, in the eyes of many people, is insecure. Silver and copper coins are the most liquid, and gold is not even as liquid as silver.

Of course, Zhu Wei knew something about the thoughts of these people.As for Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Yue, they were even more unhappy at this time, and they could naturally see some thoughts of the clan.

All of them saw the benefits and swarmed up. They didn't care about the emperor's difficulties at all, but only thought about their own benefits.

Zhu Huan snorted coldly, he was naturally very clear about these virtues of the clan.

"We also know what you guys are thinking, don't want to live a few days without knowing your surname!" Zhu Huan said very seriously, "All of you are surnamed Zhu, and you are all surnamed Zhu. People from our old Zhu family! This country also belongs to our Zhu family!"

Zhu Yunxi also stood up at this time, and said, "Your uncle Wang is also here today. It is not easy for us as juniors to say anything. But we still want to say that the one sitting on the dragon chair is our emperor brother, but the kings Uncle should also know that other people are not as qualified to sit on the dragon chair as my brother."

Zhu Yunxi dared to say such rebellious words.Not only did he dare to say it in front of the clan, he also dared to say it in front of Xiao Zhu and Lao Zhu. If he said it, he would not be punished, at most he would be scolded.

Zhu Yunxi continued to say at this time, "The emperor's brother is a great man, and the country is flourishing. If our clan is holding back when the emperor is doing things, it will not be good."

At this time, Zhu Wei also said immediately, "If you still recognize us as the fifth brother, give us a little peace during this time. We don't care about you eating, drinking and having fun. On the side of Shibosi, how the court is going, each of you Everything has to be followed by us."

These words seem to be relatively serious, but at this time, some things must be said more seriously.After all, there are good and bad clans, and many clans actually don't care about the country and the world at all. Anyway, they are not the ones sitting on the dragon chair, so there is no need to work hard.

Zhu Wei continued, "You should fully cooperate with the bank affairs. If we know that you dare to run on silver, we will not spare you! If you dare to hinder His Majesty's important affairs, the Supreme Emperor will not spare you!"

At this time, it seems that some people know some fear at this time.Lao Zhu's prestige not only made all civil and military officials submit to him, who in the clan was not Lao Zhu's descendants, who was not trembling when they saw Lao Zhu.

Zhu Xi looked around and smiled to ease the atmosphere, "Fifth Uncle, Yunxi, don't make it so serious. The emperor's brother is the most important thing about family, clan, and the emperor's work, when did he treat his family badly!"

Although at this time, some people do not agree with Zhu Xi's statement, but at such a moment, there is no need to take it seriously, otherwise it is really lack of heart, or it is really going to offend people.

Zhu Huan is someone who can't afford to offend, because this is Lao Zhu's oldest son in Daming territory, and he is also the son who was raised by him back then, so his identity and status are relatively detached.

And Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Yue had special identities, naturally because they were the emperor's younger brother and younger sister.Not to mention that the clan knew that the emperor valued younger siblings the most, even civil and military officials knew that the emperor's younger brothers and sisters were more important than ordinary clans.

Everyone has said serious things. If you want to come, you should say hello in advance. Don’t do something unsightly later. It’s not a good thing. Don’t really hurt the family relationship. .

Such a reminder is very necessary, because there are more things to do next, because many things seem less important to Zhu Yunying.He doesn't want his plan to encounter setbacks, and he doesn't want his family to tear him down.

Regarding the things outside, Zhu Yunying naturally knew little about it and was quite satisfied.

Now that I reminded him, even if someone would do some small tricks, he would not dare to be too arrogant.
