Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 459 Names before and after death

If you really want to say that Zhu Yunying doesn't care about fame, that's obviously a lie.

Settle the affairs of the king and the world, and win the name before and after his life.

This is the dream of countless scholar-bureaucrats and even ordinary people.Zhu Yunying is actually no exception, but he is now the emperor, and what he hopes more is the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.So he doesn't care about some things.

If it is said to be a utilitarian, Zhu Yunying does not object now, in fact, he is indeed like this now.

"One will never add a gift, and the other is that the Lanyu case did not break out, which seems to be okay." Zhu Yunying murmured to himself, also a little proud, "Historical books, especially the Ming history compiled by the Qing Dynasty, have often discredited Lao Zhu. . Killing heroes, although there are also, but looking at it now, it is not so exaggerated."

Thinking about it this way, Lao Zhu's reputation might be better.Although Lao Zhu's great achievements need not be repeated, but Lao Zhu's reputation of killing heroes is also talked about by countless people, which can be regarded as Lao Zhu's biggest black spot.

Those people don't necessarily care why Lao Zhu wants to eradicate some heroes, they just think that Lao Zhu likes to kill heroes.

Back at the Hall of Spring Harmony, Zhu Yunying was in a good mood, "Come on, let us hear whether our daughter is good or not."

"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to add another prince to your majesty." Xu Miaoqing walked over with a smile, and she didn't need to be particularly 'afraid' of Zhu Yunying, "If there is another girl, the concubine is afraid that Ruyi will be spoiled. I'm afraid I'm not too happy about it."

Zhu Yunying couldn't help being happy, and said angrily, "That bastard doesn't care about us! He has been doing evil with Grandpa Huang all day, and we can't control him now. He will be naughty when he grows up, but he knows Destroy Lao Tzu's platform."

Xu Miaoqing did not criticize Xiao Zhu, mainly because she also knew some of Xiao Zhu's performance.

In fact, little Zhu is now by Lao Zhu's side, Xu Miaoqing must be lying if she says that she is not reluctant.But there are some things that I can only recognize by pinching my nose. At least in the past two years, Xiao Zhu spent a lot of time by her side, and even Xiao Zhu now comes to the East Palace to pay her respects almost every day, so there is no problem.

As Zhu Yunying said, he was also treated like this when he was a child.It's even more exaggerated than Little Zhu, who was basically raised by Lao Zhu and Queen Ma just after the full moon.At that time, when Da Zhu missed his son, he could go to see him every day, but Zhu Yunying's biological mother, Chang, wanted to go and see him, so she had to ask for an order.

It's really not a big problem, after all, the relationship between Xiao Zhu, Xiao Zhu, and Xu Miaoqing is also very close.

But the duplicitous little Zhu, said in front of Lao Zhu that he was the closest to Lao Zhu.In front of Xiao Zhu, of course I like Xiao Zhu the most.If Xu Miaoqing asked, Xiao Zhu would answer without hesitation that his favorite was his mother.

The grown-ups are actually well aware of this bastard's pretense of being clever.That is to say, Zhu Yunying didn't particularly care about it, but Lao Zhu and Xu Miaoqing had long been coaxed by little Zhu, and were willing to be coaxed around by the smart little guy.

Gently stick it on Xu Miaoqing's lower abdomen and listen to it. In fact, Xu Miaoqing's lower abdomen is slightly bulged now.It is basically impossible to hear fetal movement at this time.

But Zhu Yunying and Xu Miaoqing never tire of it, this can be regarded as the joy of life of this young couple, after all they have a child again.

Xu Miaoqing said softly, "Your Majesty, I heard that there are many important events in the court today, but how many of them should I let the second child and sister know?"

"The second brother and the others don't need to know these things, and he has no voice in the court." Zhu Yunying said angrily, "That bastard, if we want him to take a job in the clan's mansion, he just pushes back. But we I heard that he urged Uncle Wu and the others to go out for a tour of the mountains."

Xu Miaoqing was a little funny, but it wasn't surprising, "The second child has a pure and benevolent temperament. If His Majesty really made a will, the concubine feels that the second child must be able to handle it well."

This can be regarded as giving Zhu Yunxi face, who doesn't know that Zhu Yunxi is such a dandy.If you tell him to do things, Zhu Yunxi will probably do it seriously, but you can't expect the boy to do things in a down-to-earth manner, and those tasks can't be too difficult.

Although he didn't plan to let Zhu Yunxi know something in advance, Zhu Yunying still explained, "Remember to call your relatives over later, we have already ordered that we will never increase the tax. From now on, these relatives of our family, they You should be a little more careful."

Xu Miaoqing was taken aback for a moment, but also a little caught off guard and incomprehensible, "Your Majesty, will you never add a gift?"

It is quite normal for Xu Miaoqing to have such an attitude. Not to mention Xu Miaoqing, most people probably think that this is simply a fantasy.

If it's just an ordinary honored wife, never adding a gift will definitely make Xu Miaoqing happy, which basically means that her family's property can definitely increase.

But as the empress of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the fact that she was not completely ignorant of reading and reason since she was a child.Xu Miaoqing didn't think she dared to stand shoulder to shoulder with Queen Ma, but she was also somewhat knowledgeable, and she knew that never adding a gift would cause a huge burden to the court.

Seeing Xu Miaoqing's worried look, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "Don't think too much, we're going to divide the land into acres. In the future, rich households with a lot of land will have to pay more taxes, and it will be difficult to evade taxes and pass on taxes in the future." .”

In fact, Zhu Yunying is also very clear, not to mention now, even after hundreds of years, some people will think about tax evasion, and some people can also become fish that slip through the net.

It's just that Zhu Yunying is more aware of one thing, naturally, he can't just stare at some side details.A policy that is good for most people is considered a good policy. It is impossible to have a perfect policy that satisfies everyone.

Xu Miaoqing was stunned for a moment, and asked a little puzzled, "Your Majesty, what is the purpose of sharing the property with the mother? My concubine remembers that our Daming is subject to two taxes."

When Xu Miaoqing said this, it was naturally considered a traditional cognition.After all, Xu Miaoqing's housekeeping since elementary school also basically involved some taxation and other issues. She may not fully understand it, but she knows the general situation.

Don't talk about Xu Miaoqing, even Xu Miaoqing's father, Xu Da, instinctively thinks that taxation is the two-tax law. People in the past paid taxes like this, and people now naturally should pay taxes like this.

Zhu Yunying was still very patient, although he also insisted that the harem should not interfere in politics, so the current Xu Miaoqing is also belatedly aware.It's just that some things have to be discussed in court now, so there's no need to hide it from Xu Miaoqing.

What's more, even if they are old couples, the relationship between Zhu Yunying and Xu Miaoqing is still very good.Not just lovers, but also relatives and family members. In front of Xu Miaoqing, Zhu Yunying is not necessarily a pure emperor, but also a husband.

Zhu Yunying still enjoyed Xu Miaoqing's adoring gaze, full of a sense of accomplishment.

If you just think about it yourself, Xu Miaoqing must have a hard time understanding the meaning of spreading the money into the mu, and even thinks that it is self-destructing the Great Wall.

Under Zhu Yunying's continuous explanation, Xu Miaoqing gradually seemed to understand.This stipend into the mu will not have any adverse effects on the taxation of the court, and it can even greatly remove some disadvantages and shortcomings, making it more difficult for some people to evade taxes.

It also includes that once such a policy is implemented, it is also an excellent policy for those who have a lot of land or those tenants, etc.Their burden will be greatly reduced, and even such a policy will make some people no longer need to pay taxes at all.

The reason, of course, is that tax payment also requires a certain threshold. If there is no land, there is no need to pay tax.There is an essential difference between this per-acre tax and the previous poll tax, which is of course no less than a blessing to many people.

It's just that Xu Miaoqing also quickly realized that for many people with little or no land, this decree is naturally a blessing from heaven.

As for those big landlords and noble gentry, once they are divided into acres, the interests of those people will naturally be greatly affected.

If it really comes to that time, it is estimated that these people will be the most opposed.It is about one's own interests, even the interests of a family, even if one is afraid of imperial power, one still needs to work hard to win it.

After all, such a policy does not only affect a generation. For those big families, once they are divided into acres, the wealth accumulated by their families, or their desire to continuously improve the strength of the family, is bound to be greatly affected. influences.

Zhu Yunying knew that there would be some objections, and it would be an out-and-out strange thing if there were no voices of objection.

Seeing Xu Miaoqing's worried look, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "Heard the cricket crickets, don't we have to farm anymore?"

Xu Miaoqing also laughed, immediately full of confidence, "The concubine's short-sightedness made His Majesty laugh."

"This time, we will spread the land into the mu. It is easy to handle some of the rich and big families below, mainly some nobles." Zhu Yunying laughed and said, "That's why we let uncle and the others go to Liaodong to open land, and we will not One size fits all, give them time."

Looking at Xu Miaoqing, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "The things we are doing now are not meant to make Daming a long-term peace and order, but I think it can make life easier for many people, and I will miss our Daming's kindness. After we do this, Yin'er will Inheriting the throne is easy to do."

Let's do things that offend people!

We have nothing to be afraid of some things that may be thankless, let's do it well!

Even though he seems to be a pragmatist, Zhu Yunying also has his own ideals and ambitions.He definitely won't let the Ming Dynasty develop towards a "historical process". He wants to create a different history through his own efforts.

These are also Zhu Yunying's confidence. He is already the emperor, so he naturally has such confidence!
