I want to be a grandson

Chapter 180

So Zhu Yuanzhang changed his benevolence, and immediately glared at him, "What a mess! You can be considered the No. 1 Ming Dynasty when you eat with a king's robe and crown! Why, you are so happy when we make you King of Wu, and you want to show off?"

This is not a joke, and the authority of the elders has been used instead.

But Zhu Yunxi said solemnly: "Grandpa, you have misunderstood. There are regulations in court etiquette. When celebrating and saluting in the palace, there are nine chapters of the crown. The grandson wears the uniform, which also respects the grandfather."

Zhu Yuanzhang is used to fighting with him, how could he not know his little thoughts!
This is because I don't want to make myself happy!

So Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him again, and then continued: "You can wear what you like, what do you think of the title we gave you? We gave you the title we used before."

Zhu Yunxi saluted and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for your kindness!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put a piece of meat into his bowl and said, "Eat more to nourish your body."

Zhu Yunxi saluted and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for your kindness!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Qi Tai and Tie Xuan are both pillars, Xu Huizu is just like you said, he has the demeanor of a general, you have a good eye!"

Zhu Yunxie said modestly: "This is the emperor's grandfather who has discerning eyes and is willing to select and appoint. The grandson just happens to be at the right time and bows to his prosperity."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and continued: "If you have a crush on someone in the imperial court, we can ask him to help you. After all, you have just taken over the household department, and everything is complicated and difficult to take care of."

Zhu Yunxi was taken aback for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's move should not be a test, and the grandparent and grandson have nothing to test!
Who doesn't want the position of emperor, and Zhu Yuanzhang would not foolishly ask Zhu Yunxie if he wants to take it.

He wants to form a team for himself to prepare for his succession in the future!
Zhu Yuanzhang added: "But don't think about the ministers of the six departments. They have to deal with the affairs of each department. How can you care about your affairs?"

In fact, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Zhu Yunxi knew his intentions in his heart.

The six ministers are already in high positions, there is no room for promotion, and there is no room for favor.

The assistant minister is the deputy of the six departments, and there is very little room for him to be kind.

Therefore, even if Shangshu Shilang himself ascends the throne in the future, they will not be grateful to him.

So they don't have much loyalty to Xinjun himself.

They will be loyal only if they are personally promoted from humble beginnings, selected and appointed.

This is exactly the reason why one emperor and one courtier!
The new king must have a new look!

Of course, it will take some time for the new minister to replace the old minister. After all, it is not enough to just take the position of Minister with a single order.

Zhu Yunxi nodded heavily, saluted and said, "Grandson, thank you, Your Majesty, Grandfather!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Look at your actions in the Department of Commerce and Trade of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Why, we just wanted to ask you, what do you think of Ming Dynasty's government affairs?"

Zhu Yunxi said modestly: "Grandpa Huang, grandson is still young, so his words are inevitably biased, it's really hard to talk about."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let's talk today, and we also want to hear what you think about Daming."

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to be a fake, Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, and then said: "Grandpa Huang, let's start with the household department for the grandson."

"The Household Department manages the world's taxation, money and food, land, household registration, salary, etc. Everything related to money is under the jurisdiction of the Household Department. It is a happy thing for the Household Department to increase income, but Suner thinks that it cannot Take money and income as the basis for measuring the peace of the world."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Oh, why?"

Zhu Yunxi understood that Zhu Yuanzhang meant to compare, so he went on to say: "Grandfather, one of the reasons why the Song Dynasty died was because it paid too much attention to commerce, which led to the emergence of some wealthy households and merchants in various places.

Sun'er felt that this really needed to be a warning, because in order to obtain greater benefits, these businessmen would collude with officials and lure them into corruption, gradually forming a trend of corruption in the court. "

Zhu Yunxi continued: "At that time, everyone cared about their own money and wealth. How could they think about the sufferings of ordinary people? How could they take the responsibility of the world? If all the ministers in the court were corrupt, they would not be far from ruin. Already!"

"In addition, after these rich and wealthy merchants have money, they will buy a large amount of land. In the end, as Ban Gu said, "the rich are connected with rice fields, and the poor are perish." The people who lost the land will become tenants and refugees. , in a calamity year, with no food to eat and no clothes to cover your body, chaos will surely arise over time!"

"So my grandson thinks that Shang Yang's reform of the Qin State, changing the emperor's system, eliminating well fields, and allowing the people to buy and sell land freely is really poisoning future generations!"

The well field system began in the Shang Dynasty and was a land state-owned system in ancient society.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, well fields belonged to the king of Zhou and were allocated to the common people.

The lord was not allowed to buy, sell or transfer the well fields, and he had to pay a certain amount of tribute.

The lord forced the common people to cultivate the well fields collectively, with private fields around them and public fields in the middle.

It is recorded in "Zhou Li Di Guan Xiao Situ": "It is through the land and the wells are used to graze its fields, the nine husbands are wells, the four wells are towns, the four towns are hills, the four hills are dians, the four dians are counties, and the four counties As the capital, pay tribute to local affairs, and collect taxes."

In other words, the tax and service system at that time was tribute, assistance, and thorough.All of them worked on the public land, and the income from the public land belonged to the lord, while all the income from the private land belonged to the individual.

This is a "service tax" system.

It's a bit like the meaning of farmers farming and paying public grain a few years ago.

However, the well field system can indeed ensure that the people have fields to cultivate to a certain extent.

Therefore, it is right that the country does not allow private sales of land.

Because in ancient times, the field was the foundation of food, clothing and life!

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the grandson in front of him with wide eyes, and said coldly: "You are really brave! How dare you criticize Shang Jun!"

Zhu Yunxi frowned, and said solemnly: "Grandfather, under the rule of Grandfather these years, Daming has been very peaceful. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the population is increasing year by year. The people all praise Grandpa as a good emperor..."

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could be happy, Zhu Yunxi changed the subject and said, "Grandfather, my grandson has checked the field records of these years at the Ministry of Households. The fields in the past five years have remained almost the same, and there has not been much increase..."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

It stands to reason that with the peace of the world, some land originally occupied by the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty, and some barren land were reclaimed.

And Zhu Yuanzhang has always paid attention to the reclamation and planting of civilian fields, and has also developed a large amount of land in the southwest region.

After so many years of hard work, although the speed of field reclamation will slow down, it will not stand still.

So there is no need for Zhu Yunming to say, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that it must be rich households, wealthy businessmen and some officials who bought the land, and concealed it without reporting it!

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "These people are really lingering! What are you doing to annex the land? They have taken all the land and fields, and the people eat what they cultivate!"

Zhu Yunxi said with relief: "Grandfather, you don't have to worry too much. Although there are some signs at this time, they don't dare to be too presumptuous. As long as the imperial court can properly handle this issue, the stability of Daming will be guaranteed!"
