Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 428 Means
Zhu Yunying is quite clear about some things, and he may not be particularly concerned about some things. He is very clear about the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.

Although Zhu Yunying has been trying to reverse some trends that have lasted for more than a hundred years over the years, and has some effects, it may not be so effective.

For example, Zhu Yunying did not allow his younger brothers and sisters to bind their feet.Even some of Zhu Yunying's imperial aunts, Zhu Yunying can be regarded as preventing footbinding.

At the beginning, Old Zhu and Da Zhu were not less angry, thinking that Zhu Yunying, the grandson of the emperor, was not doing business and was focusing on things that seemed insignificant.

It's not that Zhu Yunying boasted, after the death of Empress Ma.Don't look at the fact that in the palace there are people like Concubine Li Shu who successively took charge of the affairs of the harem, but even when Da Zhu was still there, Xiao Zhu had the 'biggest' voice in the harem.

Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu were in charge of the affairs of the world and the court, and Xiao Zhu, who hadn't been able to get on the 'stage', just went around in the imperial city.

It didn't matter whether the feet of the concubines in the harem or the older princesses were bound or not, but after Xiao Zhu grew up a little, there were always feet in the harem.Don't say that concubines and princesses don't have their feet bound anymore, even maids with bound feet can't enter the palace.

If there is something good in the world, it will naturally attract the attention of many people, and naturally more and more people will pay attention to such trends.

Especially the Wu Xun family, they know that the Tian family doesn't like foot binding.For example, those uncles who are about the same size as Zhu Yunying, their concubines are all natural feet.The daughter of Wu Xun with bound feet, the Tian family seems to want to marry at will, or even ignore it at all.

If you have your feet bound, you will be inferior to others, and you will naturally lose many opportunities.No wonder Zhu Yunying is domineering, he needs to use such a tough attitude to convey his will, if he doesn't follow his ideas, then don't expect Zhu Yunying not to play with him.

In fact, Wu Xun's family is better now, many of them are children of poor families, and they don't have too many so-called origins.These people also know that only by closely following the Tian family can they be rich.

On the contrary, some heirs of poetry and books, or aristocratic families, these people have a relatively deep background, and they also have their own philosophy of life and so on.These people also stick to their own "aesthetics". From Song to Yuan, a hundred years is enough to subtly influence many people's aesthetics.

In fact, it is not the so-called three-inch golden lotus now. It is often a 'pedicure' and so on.But Zhu Yunying will not be used to this kind of atmosphere.

As soon as she woke up, Zhu Yunying fell into troubles of happiness, and even felt a little embarrassed.

The main reason is that as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the gray-haired old Zhu looking at him, that doting smile, although Zhu Yunying saw it a lot.It's just that over the years, sometimes I'm really a little embarrassed.

"It means that you are the one watching the song and dance, and you are the one who wants to sleep." Lao Zhu laughed and said, "Didn't you see that everyone is holding back their energy and wanting to dance in front of you, wanting to dance in front of you?" I'm so lucky. You're fine, you'll be snoring when you fall down there."

Zhu Yunying was not embarrassed, and said, "Grandson is working hard, thinking about world affairs, family and state affairs, how can there be time for children to love each other. Speaking of which, we have heard some news these days .Many people in our bank are trying to make us uncomfortable."

Old Zhu's eyes turned slightly cold, and he said to Zhu Yunying, "We know that you are kind and don't like to kill people. But please remember, if you don't kill people, some people don't know how to be afraid of you! The more kind you are, the more kind you are, those people The more you push your nose on your face."

"This grandson naturally knows that some people are a little cautious, and we can tolerate it." Zhu Yunying laughed and looked around casually, "Shuangquan and Wang Chengen are not here, and everyone has no eyesight. When we wake up, we can I don’t know let’s rinse our mouths.”

In fact, this is also because Zhu Yunying is more domineering, or Lao Zhu is too majestic.Speaking of serving people, the eunuchs and maids in the palace can all serve people comfortably.It's just that Lao Zhu drove the people away just now, and didn't allow those people to come over.

But now that Zhu Yunying had spoken, everyone felt busy.

Old Zhu also laughed, and said, "The two follow Yin'er, and we are at ease. It doesn't matter for the two of us, just deal with it."

Zhu Yunying also had the same idea. In fact, Wang Chengen and Shuangquan could just go there, and others could see the emperor's thoughts.

And Shuangquan, the former eunuch in charge of ceremonies, and Wang Chengen, the current eunuch in charge of ceremonies, were with the crown prince. This weight is also large enough, and it undoubtedly once again highlights the status of the prince.

Even though many people are well aware of the crown prince's status, this time many martial arts and civil servants' children traveled with him, and some students from the Imperial College also followed.This kind of activity is relatively large, and it is also a 'semi-official' event, so it is necessary to let Xiao Zhu show off again.

"At the bank, we have people prepare the silver, we are not afraid of being run on." The old god Zhu Yunying was there, and said with a smile, "If someone wants to trouble us, we will not kill people now. But we will keep it in mind, Those people won’t be able to feel at ease in the future.”

Old Zhu couldn't help laughing too, he is a narrow-minded person.Most of the time, Lao Zhu will keep accounts, although he also has the habit of settling accounts after autumn.But most of the time, Lao Zhu always 'revenges not overnight', basically he will kill the matter soon.

And Xiao Zhu's habit is to kill people, and this kid often 'kills without blood', which makes people regret it.

"Who are we? We are the emperor." Zhu Yunying laughed and said to Lao Zhu, "Grandpa Huang has a good foundation, so we can use our hands and feet freely now. Grandpa Huang killed many people a few years ago , it’s easy for us to do things.”

Old Zhu was even happier, leaving others alone, his precious grandson understood his painstaking efforts, and Lao Zhu could only feel relieved.

It is said that Lao Zhu was tyrannical, but at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, even Lao Zhu, the immediate emperor, encountered a lot of resistance.If it is not iron-blooded and tough enough, not to mention being ostracized, but it will indeed restrict the imperial power a lot.

"Now we not only want to be in charge of the Shibo Department, not just the salt and iron monopoly, but our court will also take care of more things in the future." Zhu Yunying laughed, and said to Lao Zhu, "Now those people want to run, we Let him have no grain to make wine, let's let him have no salt to sell!"

It is really easy to do these things, as long as Zhu Yunying gives a little hint, it is completely enough.

Speaking of this, Lao Zhu laughed, "You are the worst kid. Let's not talk about the porcelain and tea that are shipped outside. The big iron pot we promised earlier will easily break if you fiddle with it."

The big iron pot, a strategic weapon, is no joke. It is needed by the Tartars, as well as Japan or Nanyang.

Zhu Yunying laughed, and said to Lao Zhu, "Is it? Those people want to melt the iron pan to make weapons. Our big iron pans are relatively brittle. Stir-frying and stewing meat are fine, but they are easy to break when they become weapons. .We are full of bad water, and those people have to deal with us."

Old Zhu also laughed, his grandson was really full of evil, and sometimes Old Zhu couldn't figure out how his grandson came up with so many seemingly dumbfounding tricks.

For example, although Lao Zhu drove the Mongols back to Mobei, he also needed horses, tendons, and livestock from the north.Therefore, trade has not been completely cut off, but the restrictions are relatively strict.

But Xiaozhu began to send iron pots and the like, but the iron pots can only be used for living.Boiling water and stewing meat is no problem, and if it is broken, it cannot be melted into ironware.Those nomads who ate too much beef and mutton needed tea to relieve their greasy taste, and the tea bricks with a strong taste were released and shipped there.But when it comes to salt, it is almost distributed according to the population.

In fact, Lao Zhu also understood that the caravan selling salt often went to investigate the population of the Tartars and so on.

"We were generous a few years ago, and we lifted some restrictions on Koryo." Zhu Yunying said with a smile, and said to Lao Zhu, "There is also Fourth Uncle, where we directly sold him arms."

Old Zhu pointed at Zhu Yunying, and said angrily, "Do you think we can't see it? You are reluctant to part with the good things, but you know that there are some craftsmen over there. You gave them a few things and ruined their craftsmen and workshops."

That's right, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

The truth is actually the same, Zhu Yunying can allow some weapons to be exported.It's just that some of the ordnance sent by the Ming Dynasty is of better quality than those of those vassal states.But with Daming's own, it is definitely not just a level behind.

And relying on Daming's hegemony and strength, if the vassal state dares to stop Daming from dumping, then don't blame Daming for getting angry.

Zhu Yunying did not destroy some industries in the surrounding vassal states. As long as those people are going to stand out, some technologies seem to be developing.A large number of Daming products passed away, causing many people to fall into happiness troubles.

Zhu Yunying looked at Lao Zhu and said, "Gao Chi of the fourth uncle's family is capable, he can see our thoughts. These years, he has been trying to recruit craftsmen, but he was blocked by us. Our fourth uncle wants to fight , if there is no Gao Chi, the life of the fourth uncle will be difficult."

Lao Zhu also nodded, the fat grandson of the fourth family is indeed quite capable.

"He knows what we're thinking, but he can't stop it. In the end, we still rely on Daming's breath. Our weapons have passed away. They are using them now, and they will continue to use them in the future." Zhu Yunying looked at Lao Zhu and said, "In the future, these people , can’t do without our Ming Dynasty. We control their armaments, we abolish their industries, and they can only obey what we will do in the future!”

Lao Zhu is even more proud that this is his grandson.Those means are the best means for an emperor.It doesn't have to be a war, there are many ways to control a small feudal kingdom!
