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

Chapter 435: Go and call me the prince! (Please subscribe!!)

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, I really can't think of it."

Zhu Biao shook his head, "Nowadays, all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty are prosperous. It is not an exaggeration to say that all industries are prosperous. The taxes in the Ming Dynasty are also increasing year by year. It can be said to be increasing exponentially!"

"As for the military, although there has been no major war in the Ming Dynasty in the past two years, it has never stopped training its troops, and with the continuous updating of military equipment, the combat power of our Ming army can be said to be invincible when looking at the surrounding countries!! "

"How can such a great Ming be in crisis?"

Zhu Biao looked puzzled. In his opinion, Ming Dynasty would only continue to grow stronger and there would be no crisis, so he expressed doubts about the crisis mentioned by Ouyang Lun.

Ouyang Lun looked calm and said calmly: "Brother Prince, I have to say that you know the Ming Dynasty quite well, but the only thing you missed is, can the development of the Ming Dynasty support the desires of the people of the Ming Dynasty?"

"What will happen to the people of the Ming Dynasty if one day they find they can't buy anything with their money? What will happen to the Ming Dynasty?"

"what!"

Zhu Biao was stunned.

"Why is this?" Zhu Biao asked curiously.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, what you said seems to be serious." Zhu Biao said cautiously.

Ouyang Lun nodded slowly, "Our Ming Dynasty has many things, but it also has a large population, especially with the rapid growth in recent years. These resources are distributed on the heads of each common people, and there are not many at all. If the common people's demands cannot be met for a long time, they will There will be turmoil once, and once the turmoil continues, the Ming Dynasty will also be in chaos!"

The charts were already very detailed, and Ouyang Lun also made a lot of annotations. Zhu Biao was a smart man and quickly understood the meaning of these charts.

"Brother Prince, if you finish reading this, you will know that what I said was not a warning!"

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, this chart account book you made is so timely. I should show this account book to my father and let him know this too." Zhu Biao said excitedly.

Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Ouyang Lun snatched the account book and said, "No, don't give this to my emperor's father-in-law!"

Zhu Biao looked at the icon account book in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not serious, not serious at all. This matter has even reached the point where it must be dealt with!" Ouyang Lun shook his head and said, "Zhou Bao, go get my account book!"

After listening to what Ouyang Lun said, Zhu Biao also opened the account book at the same time. Soon he saw many tables in the account book, which recorded the quantities of many materials in detail.

"These account books were recorded by me myself. Of course, I used a brand-new recording method with relatively detailed annotations. They were originally intended to be shown to Guo Zi and other officials from the Ministry of Revenue, so that they could have a better understanding of Ming Dynasty's family background. Have a clearer understanding!”

With Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Biao looked more carefully.

Ouyang Lun nodded slowly and continued: "The data above is not only very detailed, but it can even analyze the current crisis of the Ming Dynasty through these chart data!"

"Well, the above data were compiled by the Ministry of Household Affairs after a long time and effort. But all officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty must be able to make forms."

After a while, Zhou Bao came back with a few more account books in his hand.

"Is this the form that the Ministry of Revenue most admires?" Zhu Biao said excitedly.

Can't buy anything with money?

How is this possible? !
In the past, the Ming Dynasty had a lot of people who could not buy anything with money, but now the Ming Dynasty has developed so fast, especially in the field of food, and the people have quite sufficient supplies, so how come they can't buy anything!

"Why?" Ouyang Lun snorted and asked, "Let me ask you, if you show this account book to the emperor's father-in-law, what will he do after reading it?"

"The food shortage is still huge, the steel production gap is huge, many people still have no jobs, and there are few entertainment options. It turns out that Ming Dynasty still has so many problems!"

"Yes!" Zhou Bao's voice sounded outside the door.

"Of course I was as shocked as Gu, and then worked hard to solve these problems!" Zhu Biao said.

"You are right, but have you ever thought about it. The emperor's father-in-law is already so old. If we really want to solve all the problems that Ming Dynasty lacks in this account book, it will take at least ten years. Ten years "Are you trying to squeeze out the last of your father's experience?" Ouyang Lun said solemnly.

"This" Zhu Biao was stunned.

Ouyang Lun continued: "Now the Ming Dynasty is developing rapidly in all aspects and is on the right track. The emperor's father-in-law is also very satisfied with the current situation. It is precisely because of this that he handed over most of the affairs of the Ming Dynasty to In your hands, you run to tell him now that Ming Dynasty still has many, many problems. Isn’t this a disguised slap in the face of your father? "

"Of course, if you really want to slap your father in the face, I support it with both hands!"

"Uh" Zhu Biao was still stunned, wanting to say something but couldn't.

"So this is the reason why I didn't give this account book to your father, but showed it to you. As long as we solve these problems, what's the problem if we show it to your father or not?" Ouyang Lun said. He spread his hands and asked with a smile: "Are you right, brother-in-law of the prince?"

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, what you said makes sense." Zhu Biao's eyes have become firm, "Father is old and we can't let him worry about everything. We can handle this matter!"

"Hey, that's right!" Ouyang Lun smiled and patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder.

In fact, there is another reason Ouyang Lun did not say, that is, if the account book is handed over, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's character, he will definitely continue to squeeze him and force him to solve these problems.

But Zhu Biao was different. He was young, powerful, smart and energetic, but he was not as clever as Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, you have to serve your boss, so why don’t you take the initiative to choose a boss who treats you better?
The key point is that Zhu Biao is much easier to fool than the old Zhu. No wonder almost all the powerful ministers in history were willing to assist the young emperors. Ahem, we don’t want to be powerful ministers who monopolize the government and hold the emperor hostage to control the princes.

And Zhu Biao is not a young emperor, he just communicates better than Zhu Yuanzhang!

If Zhu Yuanzhang becomes emperor, Ouyang Lun will have no choice. If Zhu Biao becomes emperor, Ouyang Lun will have no choice. However, the situation will definitely be much better than with Zhu Yuanzhang. He and Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely not be able to communicate like today. .

After reaching an agreement on not handing over this chart account book to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao took the account book from Ouyang Lun and continued to read it.

The more he looked, the more serious Zhu Biao's face became, and he understood more clearly what Ouyang Lun said about Ming Dynasty's problem.

Because the icon ledger not only contains statistics on various aspects of the Ming Dynasty, but also expectations for the future. The results of these expectations are that the Ming Dynasty will still face problems such as population explosion and material shortages in the future.

It can be summed up in one word: "missing"!
Zhu Biao's face had turned solemn, and the previous optimism had almost disappeared.

There was even a sense of crisis.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, what should we do next?" Zhu Biao asked seriously.

"Learn to make watches." Ouyang Lun said three words lightly.

"Making a watch?" Zhu Biao was stunned. "Prince uncle, don't get me wrong. I didn't ask you to be a bitch, but I asked you to learn how to make this chart first." Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "Actually, there are two reasons why I show you this chart account book. The purpose is to let you know that there are still many problems in Ming Dynasty, and the other is to let you know the usefulness of this chart. "

"The function of charts is very powerful. It is a tool that allows you to quickly clarify your ideas and identify problems."

"Problems can be solved step by step, but it is very important to cultivate the ability to discover problems. Next, you can follow Guo Zi to learn how to make tables and discover more problems of the Ming Dynasty. This is the first step!"

After listening to Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly, "Brother-in-law Ouyang, Gu Ting understands. Don't worry, Gu will definitely do a good job in this!"

"My Ming Dynasty is really lucky to have a talent like you, brother-in-law Ouyang!"

Zhu Biao's words came from the heart and were extremely sincere. When he met Ouyang Lun during his trip to Kaiping County, it seemed that a magical Ming Dynasty had been opened, and Ming Dynasty embarked on an extraordinary road from then on!
The Ming Dynasty can achieve its current situation and can foresee the future. All of this is inseparable from Ouyang Lun!

"Uncle-in-law, Prince, you are trying to feed me the ecstasy soup!"

"You can put your face down more than your father, but I won't do this. I'll teach you how to behave, but you have to do it yourself!"

Ouyang Lun said unceremoniously.

Hum hum, from now on, no one but myself can try to exploit me!

"Ok."

Zhu Biao also knew that his brother-in-law had a shadow over his father, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was still not easy for the relationship between them to be like this. He would not ask for more.

After communicating with Zhu Biao and arranging study tasks, Ouyang Lun "get off work" with his hands behind his back.

Zhu Biao continued to stay in the Household Department and worked extremely hard to learn how to make records. At the same time, he also began to handle some affairs of the Household Department.

Three days passed quickly.

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little bored, so he called Ji Gang over.

Ji Gang walked into the palace, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "I have seen your Majesty at last."

"Get up." Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"How is the situation with the prince? What did that boy Ouyang Lun teach him? He didn't bully the prince, did he?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked several questions in succession.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is now on duty at the Ministry of Revenue. He has temporarily received the job of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Ouyang Prince Consort went to the Ministry of Revenue once three days ago and has never been to the Yamen of the Ministry of Revenue since then. His Highness the Prince's main business at the moment is Learn how to make a watch," Ji Gang said matter-of-factly.

"Making a watch? So what?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked confused.

"Your Majesty, according to the investigation by the general, this table is also called a chart. It is a tool that Ouyang Prince Consort gave to the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs to organize information. It is said that using this chart can quickly sort out useful information, which is very magical." After finishing speaking, Ji Gang took out a drawing from his pocket and said, "This is a diagram copied by Jin Yiwei from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Your Majesty, please take a look!"

Wang Zhong stepped forward, took the drawing from Ji Gang's hand, and quickly sent it to the front of the dragon case.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the drawing and started to read it. The more he looked at it, the more he frowned. He asked in a deep voice, "What is the use of this thing? What is the meaning of the pictures on it?"

"Back to Your Majesty, regarding the chart, the Ministry of Revenue is tight-lipped from top to bottom. In order to avoid alerting others, Jin Yiwei can only inquire in secret, but very little information is obtained. This chart is roughly to sort out certain information and Come to some conclusions." Ji Gang replied truthfully.

"Why did I only feel that this pattern was chaotic after looking at it for a long time?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"This" Ji Gang also looked helpless and helpless. It was very difficult to monitor the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs could not be arrested for interrogation. It was already very difficult to obtain a chart of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It was not easy to get this chart. It is really difficult to decipher the details of the drawings.

"Your Majesty, isn't His Highness the Crown Prince already working in the Ministry of Household Affairs? Maybe Your Highness the Crown Prince will know better?" Wang Zhong said from the side.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly nodded, "Yes, Biao'er went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to study. He must know this chart."

"Go quickly and call me the prince!"

"Yes." After Wang Zhong accepted the order, he hurriedly left the hall.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Biao arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"My son has met my father!"

Zhu Biao was very confused. He was doing well in the household department, but he was suddenly called by Zhu Yuanzhang. He didn't know why.

"Biao'er, how have you been at the Ministry of Household Affairs these days?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"In reply to my father, I learned a lot at the Ministry of Household Affairs. I only regret not going to the Ministry of Household Affairs earlier!" Zhu Biao said seriously.

"Hmm, then tell your father quickly what exactly you have learned!" Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry to take out the drawings and ask.

"Er Chen had an in-depth conversation with Ouyang's brother-in-law, which had never happened before. He let him know how the Ming Dynasty will be governed and developed in the future!" Zhu Biao said with firm eyes: "Father, please rest assured, Er Chen I will definitely live up to your expectations and will definitely make great achievements next time!”

"Is it gone?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and his hand holding the drawing tightened.

"No more." Zhu Biao shook his head.

"Didn't that guy Ouyang Lun teach you something specific and practical?" Zhu Yuanzhang almost threw the drawing in his hand at Zhu Biao's face.

Good on you Ouyang Lun! The first thing is to confuse people. Biao'er has only been with you for three days, and he has already learned to lie to me. He wants to hide it from me with you!

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little angry at this moment.

"No more." Zhu Biao promised to keep the chart and ledger secret, so he couldn't tell it.

"No more? Then what is this??!" Zhu Yuanzhang angrily threw the drawing in his hand at Zhu Biao's face, "Biao'er, you have disappointed your father so much. Father asked you to study with Ouyang Lun because he wanted to Let you learn Ouyang Lun’s skills so that you can be more capable in the future!”

"It turns out you teamed up with Ouyang Lun to deceive me!"

"My father is wrong, and I don't want you to have to work hard anymore!" Zhu Biao said quickly.
