Chapter 327 Where does the deposed prince live?

After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, he poured tea for Lin Cunde. Lin Cunde was thinking about where the prince should live after he was abolished!

How could Lin Cunde not know what Zhu Qiyu was thinking, which was simply that he was worried that the deposed prince would be taken advantage of by someone who wanted to go abroad, and he would cause big trouble!

There may be no problem now, but in more than ten years, when Jian Jun is older, how can we guarantee that he will not be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives?

Otherwise, why would Zhu Di have been looking for Zhu Yunzhen all his life?

Lin Cunde thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, after deposing the crown prince, what title are you going to give him?"

"Prefecture King, this was discussed by the ministers in the court, and it has basically been confirmed. I have also confirmed his title, Prince Qi, and the eldest brother's second son will be crowned Prince Ji!" Zhu Qiyu looked at Lin Cunde and replied, these are also Once discussed, it can basically be settled at any time.

"In addition, what about the Supreme Queen? Now that the Supreme Emperor has been abolished, the Supreme Queen should also be abolished!" Lin Cunde looked at Zhu Qiyu and said.

"Well, it has been abolished and she was named Princess Qi. Although Zhu Zhen became a commoner, Princess Qi was not wrong. Therefore, I retained her treatment as a princess! For the Holy Empress Dowager, she was demoted to a concubine!" Zhu Qiyu continued On!

"Ah, concubine?" Lin Cunde was shocked after hearing this. In any case, Queen Mother Sun was Zhu Zhanji's queen at that time, so being reduced to a concubine was a bit cruel. Of course, she did deserve to die, but Zhu Qiyu didn't dare to kill her. She, but being demoted to a concubine is indeed a bit harsh!

"Yes, this was also drawn up by the civil servants. I also agree with this matter. The question now is where to place them!" Zhu Qiyu touched his head and sighed.

"It is definitely not possible to go to the fief. After all, once Princess Sun is out of control, she will cause chaos and bring trouble to the Ming Dynasty!" Lin Cunde looked at Zhu Qiyu and said!

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "How could I not know, so I don't know how to settle down? They must not be able to live in the palace, but if they don't live in the palace, where can they live? Going outside the palace is still risky!"

After hearing this, Lin Cunde nodded in agreement, thought for a moment and said: "However, I do not recommend that Princess Sun be allowed to leave the palace and continue to live in the palace to demonstrate your majesty's filial piety and benevolence. At the same time, it will facilitate monitoring. For Princess Qi and Qi Jun The king, the king of Jijun, can let him live outside the palace, but he cannot leave the capital!

I do have a good place, and your Majesty will probably agree! "

"Oh, tell me!" Zhu Qiyu immediately looked at Lin Cunde with interest when he heard that Lin Cunde wanted a good place.

"The previous Prince Ni's Mansion can be given to them to live in, which also shows His Majesty's love for his nephew. I remember that this mansion was originally built by His Majesty's brother, so it is okay to let them live in it this time! Of course, His Majesty is very fond of Prince Ni's Mansion. They are familiar with each other, so they can arrange for people to guard them!

As for Concubine Sun, I do not recommend letting her leave the palace! "Lin Cunde looked at Zhu Qiyu and said his suggestion!

If Concubine Sun leaves the palace, with his methods, she might be able to cause big trouble. Therefore, this person must not be allowed to leave the palace!

As for Queen Qian and the concubines in Zhu Qizhen, they can all go to live in Prince Xi's Mansion for easy monitoring!

"Well, it makes sense. We can let them live in my previous palace. After all, their county palace has not been built yet. What a good idea!" After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu nodded with a smile!

In this way, it is estimated that those civil servants would not dare to say anything nonsense. After all, he had given them accommodation in the previous palace, which was already a super standard treatment!

"As for the filling of the treasury, I think it is inappropriate for ministers to want to go to war. Moreover, if it is the suggestion of military generals, I think it is normal. However, if it is the suggestion of civil servants, I always feel that it is wrong, and they probably did it on purpose!" Lin Cunde frowned, Tell me your opinion on the matter.

"Huh? On purpose?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyu stared at Lin Cunde for a while, then stood up and started thinking about it with his hands behind his back. Now Zhu Qiyu likes to think about the purpose behind those civil servants. Now, he has a general purpose for civil servants. It is clear, but those civil servants are very patient and they will plan for the long term!

"It's intentional. They hope to consume the national treasury. By spending the money, they can make money. This is one aspect! The other aspect is the consumption of the army. If I launch a large-scale military operation in the Ming Dynasty, such as It's better to mobilize the army and go to Wala. If you lose, it will have a great impact on your majesty and the army. In this way, the civil servants can further weaken the strength of the Ming army! Moreover, if Wala is completely killed, So does the Ming Dynasty still need so many troops? Does it still need to spend so much money? Therefore, this is the next plan of civil servants!

In fact, a dynasty needs to have a small enemy who cannot be destroyed, but can always control him, so that the generals of the dynasty can be tempered. For example, we can completely kill them now, but we will face a problem, that is, , once we all wipe out the Oara, how can we control the grassland? If we destroy Oara, can Ming's army continue to move west and north? If it can, of course it is the best. If not, it cannot move now!

There is still a lot of land in the west, and it is very high-quality land. Kublai Khan also attacked it back then! Our Ming Dynasty's army can naturally defeat it, but not now. Your Majesty still needs to be steady!

We also need to let the people recuperate!

In addition, to fight against Japanese pirates, our Ming Dynasty’s warships have not been built or repaired for many years. Relying on shouting is not enough. To fight against Japanese pirates, we need to cross the sea and fight. This requires preparation. In terms of warships, there is one. We also need to have maritime news, not just to fight!

In addition, I also suggest that our Ming Dynasty really needs to build three naval bases to train its navy and build new warships. There are a lot of resources in the places where the Sanbao Eunuch sailed. I, my Ming Dynasty, can occupy some places as a We have overseas strongholds in Ming Dynasty, but these all require long-term planning!

I believe that our Ming Dynasty must pay attention to the construction of the navy, especially warships that can cross oceans, so that our Ming Dynasty can form a deterrent to neighboring countries, especially maritime countries. Our Ming Dynasty’s land combat troops also need training and must be trained. Guarantee the deterrence of the north and west, and even say that we will fight a war to destroy the country, plunder resources, and at the same time train my Ming army!

But it’s not just now, but long-term planning is needed. Now that I finally have some money, there are still a lot of things to do!

Disasters occur all over the world, but many of them are avoidable. For example, floods and small-scale, short-term droughts can actually be solved!

There are also trade routes that are not smooth, and roads in various places are not easy to travel, which affects commerce. In fact, commerce can stabilize the Ming Dynasty!

For example, we currently employ almost a hundred people in our soap and soap workshops, but the number of people raising pigs near the capital has increased by an unknown amount! Almost every farmer has five or six pigs, and the price of pork has always been high because of our workshop, which is beneficial to farmers!

They can also earn a good income by raising pigs!

In addition, the soaps and soaps produced in our workshops need to be transported, and people are also needed to do this. Merchants from various places, including the sales people, are estimated to be no less than a thousand people. In other words, our industry A small square can solve at least two thousand people who have no land to farm!

Moreover, when those people make money, they will buy other things. In the end, everyone can make money!

These are all beneficial, but they cannot be seen in a short time!

For example, when it comes to road construction, it used to be corvée work, but now you have to pay labor. Calculated according to labor force, it is 20 cents a day. So, in a month, it is 600 cents, and in a year, it is more than 7 taels of silver. This is also very beneficial to people who have several laborers at home!

An ordinary family of eight would need to spend at least ten taels of silver a year, and a richer family would need twenty taels of silver!

For a simple family of four, if they earn seven taels of silver a year, they can still live on. If they farm the land and work in their spare time, they will still have enough money!

If you have extra money, you will buy things, which will help businessmen!

Another point is that your majesty may just think that the business tax of Ming Dynasty is only 1 in 30, but it is actually much more! "Lin Cunde sat there and began to teach Zhu Qiyu, letting him know that the money from the national treasury should not be used indiscriminately, but that infrastructure construction needs to be done!

"Isn't it 1 out of 30?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyu looked at Lin Cunde with a frown.

"It's far more than that. Drawing one out of thirty is stipulated by Taizu, but in fact, it's far more than that. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty can divide taxation into two types: resident tax and passing tax!

Among them, the resident tax includes one out of thirty, but there are also several other taxes, such as landing tax, tooth tax, house collapse tax, and door stall tax!

As for excessive taxes, there are banknote duties, door taxes, and quota taxes!

Especially the tax on banknotes is huge, second only to land tax and salt tax!

Therefore, drawing one out of thirty is just what the civil servants below deceived Your Majesty. If Your Majesty goes to find out, you will know that the tax revenue of businessmen in the Ming Dynasty is not that small!

By the way, I have also sorted out the sources of money of those corrupt officials. Commercial taxes are a large sum, accounting for 30% of the corruption amount of those corrupt officials! Lin Cunde said and took out another notebook from the package!

It records the composition of corruption money of officials from various places. Lin Cunde also made statistics, analysis and comparison!

"Show me!" Zhu Qiyu believed what Lin Cunde said when he heard it. He knew that Lin Cunde hoped to help him govern the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Qiyu took the book and began to look at it carefully!

Lin Cunde sat there and stopped talking, wanting to wait until Zhu Qiyu had finished reading it first!

A lot of commercial taxes actually go into the pockets of local officials.
