Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 434: The establishment of a constitutional monarch can protect the Ming Dynasty forever (please subscribe!!)
"I don't want to be the first one. Prince Consort Ouyang has repeatedly told us household officials to lower our heads and do more, and raise our heads and show less publicity!"

Guo Zi said quickly.

"Keep your head down and do more, raise your head up and show off less!"

Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly and praised.

After saying that, Zhu Biao looked around and asked doubtfully: "Where is brother-in-law Ouyang?"

"Back to Your Highness, Prince Consort Ouyang will usually only come to work for half an hour in the afternoon, and this is not fixed. If Ouyang Prince Consort has other things to do, he will not come."

Guo Zi said truthfully.

"That's it!"

Zhu Biao nodded.

He had also heard about Ouyang Lun's working methods, but he was still a little shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

"Shilang Guo, my father asked Gu and Ouyang's brother-in-law to work together. Gu and Ouyang's brother-in-law have already discussed it and come directly to the Ministry of Husbandry to study with you. During this period, you don't need to regard me as the prince, but as a member of the Ministry of Husbandry. If you have anything, you can leave it to me!"

"There are rules everywhere, but this is the first time I've seen such detailed rules." Zhu Biao nodded, "I learned it!"

"Oh?! Why is Mr. Guo so sure?" Zhu Biao asked.

Guo Zi held up his hands, thought for a moment, and spoke again: "Since the Guo Huan case, the Ministry of Household Affairs has lost a Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. If His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't mind, he can temporarily take over the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. That's okay. Easy to deal with internal affairs!”

"Back to His Royal Highness, Prince Consort Ouyang has compiled the work manual and procedures for the Ministry of Household Affairs. The officials below only need to follow the manual and established procedures!" Guo Zi took Zhu Biao to the lobby of the Office of the Ministry of Household Affairs and pointed at the surrounding walls. He said: "Your Highness, please take a look. What is hung on the wall is the Ministry of Household Manual and procedures. Every item is clear and clear."

"Brother-in-law Ouyang!"

With Guo Zi's guidance, Zhu Biao quickly sat down at the Ministry of Household Affairs and handled the matter in an orderly manner.

"Your office is next to Ouyang's consort, so if Ouyang's consort comes over, he can also communicate with you." Guo Zi said with a smile.

Just as Zhu Biao was getting familiar with the Hubu, Ouyang Lun slowly came to the Hubu Yamen. Of course, it was already afternoon.

Zhu Biao was very happy to see Ouyang Lun arriving.

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

"I hope the two of us in the household department can work together to do a good job in the household department!"

Zhu Yuanzhang told Zhu Biao many times that although Ouyang Lun was unconventional and unconventional, he was undoubtedly a very capable person. He must take this opportunity to learn from Ouyang Lun. Zhu Biao said Highly recognized. It can be said that since he met Ouyang Lun, Zhu Biao got answers to many problems from Ouyang Lun. If Ouyang Lun wasn't his brother-in-law, he would have really wanted to study with Ouyang Lun directly.

"No, let alone Ouyang's consort, even if all the fifth-rank and above officials from the Ministry of Revenue do not come to the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue can still operate normally." Guo Zixin said.

"Haha, this is okay!" Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"Brother Prince!" Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "You are so proactive! In fact, it doesn't matter if you come a few days later."

Ouyang Lun directly put his arm around Zhu Biao's shoulders and said, "Brother Prince, you are the eldest brother of Anqing. We have known each other for so many years. You are a very nice person and a person worthy of close friendship. I am very happy that you come to the Ministry of Household Affairs!! "

"Brother-in-law Ouyang only came to the Yamen in the afternoon, won't it affect the operation of the household department?" Zhu Biao asked.

"How can that be done? If I don't come today, I won't be able to see you, brother-in-law Ouyang." Zhu Biao responded.

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Biao's eyes were filled with emotion, "Brother-in-law Ouyang, to be honest, even if you are not Anqing's consort, I admire you very much. You are the smartest person I have ever seen!"

"Okay, that's it." Zhu Biao nodded and continued to ask: "Where is my office?"

"I look forward to learning many useful things from you!"

Feeling that Zhu Biao wanted to hug him, Ouyang Lun quickly backed away, "Brother, the prince's brother-in-law, this is the Hubu Yamen. If the two of us were cuddling here, there would probably be some bad rumors if we were seen. Flying."

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Biao also reacted and felt a little embarrassed, "Ahem, brother-in-law Ouyang, don't get me wrong. I don't want to play with my broken sleeves."

"That's good!"

Ouyang Lun breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Brother-in-law of the prince, this time the emperor's father-in-law asked you and me to cooperate on foreign trade and the first five-year plan. I wish us in advance a faster cooperation!"

"Yeah." Zhu Biao nodded, "Actually, I have wanted to cooperate with you for a long time. My father's attention has been on you before, and there are many things about you that my father will not let me interfere with, for fear of..."

"Are you afraid that I will lead you astray?" Ouyang Lun muttered.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, you know everything!?" Zhu Biao said in surprise.

"My emperor's father-in-law's abacus is so loud that it's hard for me to pretend not to know!" Ouyang Lun said angrily: "But so what, in the end he didn't ask the prince's brother-in-law to come with me. Dealing with things?"

Zhu Biao had personally seen Ouyang Lun complain about Zhu Yuanzhang, so he had no reaction at all to Ouyang Lun's "outrageous" words now.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, actually my father, he"

Zhu Biao wanted to explain a few words to Zhu Yuanzhang, but Ouyang Lun waved his hand and refused, "Brother Prince, please don't explain to him. What kind of person he is? I don't necessarily know any less than you do. I even know him better." More."

"Ahem, I believe this." As one of the witnesses who witnessed the scene of Ouyang Lun and Zhu Yuanzhang "falling in love and killing each other", Zhu Biao had no objection to what Ouyang Lun said.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about other things." Ouyang Lun waved again.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, what do you want to say?" Zhu Biao asked expectantly.

"Prince's uncle, the emperor's father-in-law said on the surface that he wants us to cooperate in handling things, but in fact we also know his thoughts. In order to prevent the emperor's father-in-law from saying that I am not responsible and causing trouble for me, I still want to I’m going to teach you something real.” Ouyang Lun said helplessly.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, if you don't want to, you can refuse. I will tell my father in person and I will never let him embarrass you!" Zhu Biao said solemnly.

"No need." Ouyang Lun waved his hand, "Maybe what you said is indeed useful, but you should know better than me how much your father's intentions are. If you are weak and really want to help me, then we can cooperate more and let your father It’s enough that the emperor thinks we are perfect partners!”

"Of course, I can also assure you that I am not interested in the throne. I have no interest at all. You can regard this as my promise to you!"

Seeing that Ouyang Lun was speaking so seriously, Zhu Biao also understood that what Ouyang Lun said was definitely not a joke to him! Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say that Ouyang Lun was rebelling, he told him to be wary of Ouyang Lun every time. Zhu Biao didn't believe it at first, but he couldn't stand Zhu Yuanzhang and persisted in talking disdainfully. Coupled with Ouyang Lun's political achievements, Zhu Biao felt a little bit. I've been thinking about this issue too.

But just after hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Biao suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, you and I are brothers, brothers for life!" Zhu Biao said solemnly: "If I succeed to the throne in the future, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. I will never be like my father. You force yourself to stay in the capital!"

"Haha, as long as you say this!" Ouyang Lun nodded with a smile and continued: "Next let's talk about how to govern the Ming Dynasty! Or you can say, how to make the Ming Dynasty stronger and the people of the Ming Dynasty live better. better!"

"This is not simple. Fight less, open up more wasteland, reduce taxes, and recuperate. In less than five years, the people of Ming Dynasty will be living very well!" Zhu Biao said confidently.

"Well, uncle Prince, what you said is almost the standard answer!" Ouyang Lun nodded.

Zhu Biao was very happy to hear Ouyang Lun's praise, but what Ouyang Lun said next left Zhu Biao stunned.

"All the promising emperors in the past dynasties knew this, and many emperors even did very well, but without exception, these dynasties failed in the end." Ouyang Lun shook his head and said slowly.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, you mean that the future of the Ming Dynasty will be the same as other dynasties. It will decline, decline, or even perish?!" Zhu Biao asked.

"This is inevitable." Ouyang Lun nodded.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, do you have a way to pass on the Ming Dynasty to future generations?" Zhu Biao asked quickly.

"No." Ouyang Lun shook his head directly, "If the world is divided for a long time, it will be united, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided. You should know this truth."

"Is the final fate of the dynasty just destruction?" Zhu Biao murmured to himself.

"That's not the case." Ouyang Lun shook his head.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, do you have any idea?" Zhu Biao's eyes lit up and he asked again.

"If you just want the dynasty to continue forever, I do have a solution." Ouyang Lun said slowly.

"any solution?"

"Constitutional monarchy!"

"What is this?" Zhu Biao's eyes were full of questions.

Ouyang Lun waved his hand, "Now is not the time to use this method. If that time comes, I will tell you. This method can ensure that the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty royal family can be passed down from generation to generation!"

Lao Zhu is still here, but he doesn't dare to call out this "constitutional monarchy" system. If he really calls out, and Lao Zhu listens, don't have any doubt, Lao Zhu will definitely try every means to kill him. The older Lao Zhu Zhu, the level of violence has increased several times!
In fact, compared to "constitutional monarchy", Ouyang Lun prefers "characteristic socialism", but in that case, the Ming Dynasty, from the emperor to the officials, princes, nobles, wealthy squires, would be lost. The step is too big, and it is easy to get involved. Egg.

Zhu Biao really wanted to know the specific content of 'constitutional monarchy', because this method could allow the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty royal family to be passed down for generations to come. However, he also knew very well that if Ouyang Lun was unwilling to say it, no matter how he asked, the other party would not Said.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, when the time comes to talk, you must tell Gu!"

Zhu Biao did not doubt the authenticity of this "constitutional monarchy". After all, the "Imperial Fund" that Ouyang Lun came up with directly solved the problem of the royal family's salary in the Ming Dynasty. Since the "Imperial Fund" was created, the royal salary was originally a burden to the Ming Dynasty. And now the royal salary is not only paid in full every month, but also has a balance every month! !
So if Ouyang Lun said there is a solution, there must be one!

"Don't worry, when it's time to say it, I will definitely say it!"

Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, let's continue talking about how to govern the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Biao continued to ask.

"Brother Prince, you are so persistent!" Ouyang Lun continued with a smile: "Before I talk about how to govern the Ming Dynasty, let me ask you a question first."

"What's the current situation in Ming Dynasty?"

"Good! It's not that good! Even compared to the Song Dynasty at its peak, there are still some who can surpass it!" Zhu Biao said excitedly.

"Well, in the past two years, Ming Dynasty has indeed developed rapidly, and the people's living standards have been getting higher and higher. However, new problems will also arise. If these problems are not dealt with well, it will be a huge danger to Ming Dynasty! "Ouyang Lun nodded, "To sum it up, it's a good technology tree!"

"Technology tree?" Zhu Biao's face was full of question marks, and it was an unfamiliar word.

"It is by choosing to develop different directions for technological upgrading that we will get different results, which can be represented graphically as a tree image." Ouyang Lun said, while holding a pen and paper and drawing in front of Zhu Biao.

"The most basic ones are culture, military, and politics. When broken down, there are laws, technology, and institutions. There are further subdivisions below. Every technology that is illuminated can promote the development of the country!"

“Only by continuously lighting up the technology tree and developing in a balanced way can the various problems of the entire country be solved one by one.”

"If we set up the science and technology tree well, running the country will be just a small problem."

Zhu Biao listened to Ouyang Lun's story, his eyes fixed on the technology tree drawn by Ouyang Lun, and his breathing became rapid.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, the technology tree is not finished yet, is it?"

Looking at the half-drawn technology tree, Zhu Biao asked.

"Of course the painting is not finished! Next, you need to light it. Only when you light it will I draw it," Ouyang Lun explained.

Girl, if I draw them all, wouldn’t it be like giving you the secrets to clearing the level?

"Oh." Zhu Biao nodded, then raised his head, "Brother-in-law Ouyang, what kind of technology do you think we should light up next?"

Well, my brother-in-law, the prince, you are so direct in your question!
"This depends on what problems our Ming Dynasty needs to solve urgently." Ouyang Lun asked.

"What problem needs to be solved urgently?" Zhu Biao muttered, and then thought for a while, "The threat to the Beiyuan regime in the Mobei grassland?"

"That's wrong." Ouyang Lun shook his head. "Although the Beiyuan regime is indeed a problem, I also said in the morning that the threat from the Mobei Grassland has been weakened to the extreme through economic warfare, and there is no rush to solve it."

After being rejected by Ouyang Lun, Zhu Biao fell into deep thought again. After thinking about it all, he still couldn't figure it out and asked directly again.

"What's the problem?!"
