Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 368 The beginning of everything is difficult
At noon the next day, a group of ministers came to Wenhua Hall on time,

After the civil and military trains stood still, Eunuch Wu, the head of the palace, sang loudly: "The prince is here!"

"The minister waits to welcome the prince." The civil and military officials knelt down to greet His Royal Highness the prince.

After the crown prince ascended his seat in the Wenhua Hall, he said softly, "Everyone, please be at peace."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After the ministers got up and stood still, Eunuch Wu, the chief executive, read out the emperor's will again.

"...a man governs the world, and there are tens of thousands of people every day. If one thing is gained, the world benefits; When it comes to dealing with things, it is rare to go too far.

"The king of success grows rich and honored. If he is not experienced in daily life, there are few people who are infallible in government. Besides, although people have the talent of understanding and sensitivity, they are naturally not experienced. If they act according to their will, it is inevitable that they will make mistakes. It is too late to repent and change. Well. Therefore, I have specially ordered you to come to the ministers to listen to the announcements of the various divisions, so as to practice state affairs. This is my honor."

"My son accepts the decree and obeys the teachings of the emperor." The prince knelt down to receive the decree, and then confessed the decree. This is the legal basis for his supervision of the country.

hear here.Hu Weiyong and Chen Ning, who were in the lower ranks, glanced at each other quickly, knowing that the emperor's decree was not only to authorize the prince, but also had a very important purpose - to forgive Zhu Biao's mistakes.

Emphasize that this is experience.Ministers must of course take it seriously and be meticulous, but the prince can make mistakes because he is practicing state affairs.Practice, how can there be no mistakes?Everyone has to be patient, and after two and a half years of practice, you will not make mistakes again.

~~
After the crown prince sat down again, Eunuch Wu said to the ministers: "If you have something to do, you will report it early, and if you have nothing to do, you will leave the court."

"The minister has his own play." The eldest cousin in charge of the governor's mansion, Xiao Cao Guogong, came out of the class.

The eunuch in the hall presented the memorial, and Li Wenzhong reported in a loud voice: "Prince Qizuo, the commander of the Tibetan capital of Uzbekistan reported that the former sent a tribute envoy, Gong Ge Suonan, etc., and the envoy was intercepted and killed by Tubo on the way to the tribute. Uzbekistan The commander of the Uzang capital, Banzhuer, asked the imperial court to send troops to severely punish Tubo and avenge Uzang!"

"Tubo..." The crown prince pondered for a while when he heard the words. He has followed his father to listen to the government for many years, and he knows the military and political affairs of the country like the palm of his hand.

Speaking of it, the Tubo that Li Wenzhong talked about was completely different from the Tubo Kingdom that occupied the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the Tang Dynasty.

To put it simply, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo fell into a long-term state of division due to royal infighting, religion and other reasons, and it no longer exists.

After entering the Yuan Dynasty, Tibet was brought under the direct jurisdiction of the central court.The Yuan Dynasty divided the main Tibetan settlements into three Xuanwei Divisions, two of which were in Tibet.

There is also a Tusima Xuanweisi, also known as the Tubo Xuanweishi Sidu Marshal's Mansion, located at the junction of Qinghai and Gansu, where the government is located in Hezhou.

Therefore, Tubo in the Ming Dynasty refers to the Tibetans in Hezhou.

~~
The crown prince looked at Deng Yu, and asked in a warm voice: "Duke Wei, how can I remember that Tubo has already surrendered?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Deng Yu hurriedly reported back from work: "In the third year of Hongwu, the emperor ordered the last general to conquer the left deputy general and cooperate with the general to recover Gansu. After annihilating Wang Baobao's department, in August of the same year, the last general led the army The tribes of Kehe Prefecture and Wusizang recruited and surrendered Tubo, pursued King Yu of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to the West Yellow River, and beheaded Yuan general Asatu in the black pine forest. The west of Hezhou enters our Ming territory!"

Simple words, but it fully shows the incomparable toughness of the Ming army in the early days of the country!
"Later, the imperial court set up the Hezhou Guard here, with Wei Zheng, the general of Huaixi, as the commander, and He Sunanpu as the commander of the Hezhou Guard. The four guards under the jurisdiction of Hezhou, Taozhou, Xining, and Minzhou are collectively known as 'Xifan Siwei' is under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division." After Deng Yu finished his introduction, he said in a deep voice:
"It's really unexpected that Tubo would travel thousands of miles away to intercept and kill Uzang's tribute envoy. But Di Yi's ungrateful, rebellious and impermanent is also reasonable." He cupped his hands and said loudly:

"The last general invites Ying to lead his army straight to Hezhou and beat Tubo hard, as a warning to others!"

"En." The crown prince nodded, asked Li Wenzhong, Hu Weiyong and others for their opinions, and then said in a deep voice:
"What the Duke of Wei said is very true. This time, Tubo intercepted and killed the tribute envoy, and Wu Sizang asked the court for help. If the court does not show the thunderous tricks, it will kill those who dare to offend the might of God. I am afraid that not only Tubo, but even Wu Sizang will be against it. The imperial court is so contemptuous that they no longer show respect to the Celestial Dynasty. Therefore, this Palace will report to the Emperor Father and request to send troops!"

"Your Highness is wise!" Deng Yu, Li Wenzhong and other military officials were overjoyed when they heard the words. His Royal Highness has such courage and courage, which is enough to win their respect.

After the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion retreated, Hu Weiyong also came out to report:
"The Ministry of Households played Zhongshu, saying that before the issuance of Daming treasure banknotes, because the people valued money and despised banknotes, in order to protect banknotes, Baoyuan and Baoquan bureaus were stopped, and the casting of 'Hongwu Tongbao' was stopped. However, the denomination of treasure banknotes is the lowest. It is inconvenient to use, and copper coins are urgently needed to guarantee the transaction. Therefore, please order the chief secretaries to reset the Baoquan Bureau, mint small coins, and go with banknotes, so as to be used by the people."

"In addition, the treasure banknotes have been in circulation for more than a year, and they have begun to appear faint. The Ministry of Households asked for instructions on how to deal with these faint banknotes. Should they be ordered to continue to be used, or should they be allowed to be dumped?"

Hu Weiyong was holding back bad news, and immediately reported the most difficult and most professional financial problem to the Ming Dynasty.Deliberately let the prince show his timidity.

"If you continue to use it, will you continue to pay the face value at face value, or will you be given a certain discount? If flipping banknotes is allowed, will you trade in the old for new for free, or charge a part of the labor and ink fee?"

"..." The crown prince frowned as expected, and asked, "What is the precedent in previous courts?"

"His Royal Highness, in the past dynasties, money and banknotes have been used simultaneously. Money is for small amounts, and banknotes are for large amounts. They are used together for the convenience of the people." Hu Weiyong slowly replied: "So the old minister suggested that I agree with the request of the Ministry of Households and order the chief secretaries Reset the Baoquan Bureau, mint small coins, and banknotes at the same time, for civilian use."

"Yes." The prince nodded.

"In addition, there have been regulations on reversing banknotes in previous dynasties. In order to ensure the integrity of banknotes and avoid forgery, worn-out banknotes were not allowed in previous dynasties. You need to go to Yousi to replace new banknotes before you can continue to use them. However, you must pay a certain cost to Yousi. It is called labor ink fee or penny money before it can be reversed.

"For example, when exchanging money in the Northern Song Dynasty, the fee was [-] yuan per coin; in the Jin Dynasty, the fee was [-] yuan when exchanging banknotes." Hu Weiyong talked eloquently and gave suggestions: "So the old minister suggested that this dynasty A bill-reversal law should be enacted to prohibit the circulation of banknotes. Of course, there is a charge for exchanging old banknotes for new ones.”

"This is a bit too much." The prince frowned and said, "The copper coins in the hands of the people will not change for 100 years. The prime minister also said just now that the people value money and despise banknotes. If there is a fee, wouldn’t it make the common people dislike precious banknotes and choose copper coins? I’m afraid this will destroy the banknote law even more!”

"Your Highness is wise..." Hu Weiyong bowed his head.

Xin said, His Royal Highness is really not to be underestimated, knowledge is high.

But it's useless, because Boss Zhu, a small farmer, will definitely not agree to exchange money for free...
