King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Is it better to have an empty treasury or a full treasury?
That's what I said.

Zhu Zhanji fell silent for a moment and didn't know how to answer the question.

It doesn't matter whether it is normal from the perspective of a country or a small family.

no doubt.

Of course, the richer you are, the better. The richer you are, the better.

As the saying goes: A good cook cannot cook without rice.

This statement is not only applicable to individuals and families, but also to a country. There is no difference and the benefits are the same.

You have to know that over the years, from the time of Taizu to the present, the economic and other problems of the entire Ming Dynasty court have never been solved.

Every time we encounter a disaster, a rebellion, a war, etc.

But they all require money, and they all require hard-earned cash.

But every time the imperial court encountered such a thing, it was not in an embarrassing situation.

Why is this so?

This time the answer is extremely simple, just three words: "no money"!
After all, as long as the court has money and the treasury is full, who wouldn't want to be a good person?
Who doesn't want to be generous?

Who is willing to search on QQ?
A penny can make a hero fall, and this is not just a saying.

Of course, there were some reasons behind the opposition of the court officials.

But in the final analysis, it all comes down to this.

After all, I still have no money and can't pay the troublemakers.

It is precisely because of the lack of money that the court officials opposed and quarreled over trivial matters.

to this end.

When Zhu Gaochi asked this question, Zhu Zhanji didn't know how to answer.

Because he has experienced it and known firsthand the distress and pain of having no money.

Isn’t this how his family has lived for so many years?

Comparing his family with Zhu Gaoxu's family, the difference in the lives they led can be described as between heaven and earth.

why?
Could it be that the Crown Prince or the Crown Princess doesn’t want to live a good life?
Obviously not, after all it’s all because of lack of money.

After all, everyone wants to eat good food, who wants to live a hard life?

Thinking of this, feeling the gazes falling on him, Zhu Zhanji was slightly startled, slowly raised his head, and said in a deep voice:
"if it is possible……"

"From the perspective of my true feelings, I naturally hope that the imperial treasury is full, and I naturally do not want the imperial treasury to be empty."

"Because the imperial treasury is full, it is a good thing for the country and the people, with only a hundred benefits and no harm."

"Our court can do a lot for the people."

“It can bring a better life to the people of the world and allow them to live a good life.”

After hearing this.

Get a definite answer.

Zhu Gaochi was very satisfied with this and nodded in approval.

Fortunately, this guy was able to see the matter clearly and did not say anything against his will because of certain things and ideas.

Even if you feel uncomfortable in your heart, you can still make judgments based on reason.

It is quite commendable and there is nothing wrong with it.

He is not blinded by what is happening in front of him, which shows that he has great potential.

This made him, as a father, very pleased, thinking that all his teachings over the years were not in vain.

Although there are some inappropriate aspects, all that is needed is a proper teaching.

In other words, as you grow older, you see and come into contact with more and more things, and you are able to have different perspectives and grow up slowly.

As he thought about it, the silent expression on the prince's face suddenly subsided, and he nodded with great satisfaction, reached out and gently rubbed his head, and said earnestly:

"Not bad! Not bad, very good!"

"As for this issue, I am very pleased that I can see it clearly and understand the connotation here."

"Since you know this truth clearly and understand it in your heart."

"So what else can we say about this matter?"

"If Jia Shang can do it, why can't the court do it?"

"It's all about making money, it's all about profit, why can't we put down our pride?"

"Jia Shang made money, while others just put it into their own pockets."

"And what about our court?"

“Can all the money earned not go into that individual’s pocket, but go into the national treasury to fill it up?”

"After filling the national treasury, all the silver ended up being spent on the people of the country."

"This move can be regarded as taking from the people and using it for the people."

"For the sake of the people of the world, is the so-called face really important to the imperial court?"

"It's all about making money. As long as there's money, people can live a good life. Does losing a little face matter?"

"Have you ever thought about this? Compared to the imperial court, opening a bank to make money seems to be shameful, looks a bit despised, and seems to be suspected of competing with the people for profits."

"But this kind of situation, this kind of problem, is more embarrassing and more important than if a major disaster happened somewhere in the world and the court was penniless and couldn't afford to spend a penny?"

"Which is better, to be embarrassed by making money, or to be despised by the world while watching the people suffer and being powerless to do anything?"

These words.

This was not what Zhu Gaochi thought, nor was it what he understood.

This was also when Zhu Gaoxu proposed the Ming Money House.

When he took opposing actions and spoke opposing words, Zhu Gaoxu, in response to her cautiousness, gave him soul-searching and heart-piercing questions from the bottom of his heart.

It can be said that he was really speechless by the question. He had no idea how to answer or how to deal with it.

There is no reason to object or refute.

Because what they said makes so much sense. Compared to the court's honor and disgrace, the people's problems are more important.

What are the important components of the country and the people?
There is no doubt that these are the common people of the world.

Without the people, how can there be a country and a people?

Water can carry a boat and it can overturn it.

It was because of this that he gradually understood and agreed with some of Zhu Gaoxu's actions.

It has always been said that he loves his people like his own children.

In fact, during this period of time, he was in contact with Han King Zhu Gaoxu.

Although he did not understand many styles of behavior at first, he either tasted the truth behind them over time, or understood the deep meaning after Zhu Gaoxu explained them to him.

But in the final analysis, everything Zhu Gaoxu did, even though there were some selfish motives and ideas, was overall more inclined towards the people.

Even in some things and cognitions, even this prince who was highly admired by the world could not help but feel that when it came to loving the people like his own children, he seemed to be somewhat lacking compared to Zhu Gaoxu.

After hearing this discussion, even Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but look sideways.

I really didn't expect that these words could come out of his father's mouth.

To know.

He knew better than anyone what kind of person the prince was and what kind of personality he had.

He is a real person who cares a lot about his reputation.

But he is not as shameless as the King of Han and the King of Zhao.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but raise his head in surprise, looking at his old father with some suspicion and curiosity, and asked carefully:
"father"

“These words, these remarks.”

"Why does it feel so unreal to my son? It doesn't feel like something you would say!"

"What on earth happened, or what happened to the court, that could cause such a drastic change in your attitude?"

"As for these shameless and thick-skinned remarks and things, according to normal logic and under normal circumstances, shouldn't they have come from the mouths of our second uncle and third uncle?"

"Don't scare me!"

no way!
It was no wonder that Zhu Zhanji was worried and suspicious about this matter, because Zhu Gaochi's behavior and remarks here were really too different from his previous character, too many differences. It was really hard to make him not think too much and not doubt.

to this end.

He had no choice but to ask carefully, these somewhat disloyal words.

In fact, seeing Zhu Gaochi's behavior and remarks made him feel completely insecure. He couldn't help but feel terrified and suspicious. He wondered if something had happened here that he didn't know about.

Especially when thinking about the few days ago when Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui had just returned triumphantly, and then left and came back again, running to the mansion late at night to talk to his father.

No matter how I think about it, I feel that there must be some deeper meaning behind this.

Then I couldn't help but become curious about it.

Zhu Gaochi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at his son with some disbelief, who was looking at him cautiously and asking questions. He couldn't help feeling a little surprised, but also very embarrassed. The kind and fatherly expression on his face disappeared.

He slapped him on the head with his backhand and could not help but scold him:
"Hey..."

"What the hell are you talking about, you little bastard?"

"What do you mean, these words shouldn't come from our mouths, but should come from the mouths of your second uncle and third uncle, two bastards."

"Why? In your eyes, do you think that only your second uncle and third uncle, two eccentric people, can understand the sufferings of the common people and know what is truly good for our Ming Dynasty court?"

"As your biological father and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, he shouldn't know anything, or he shouldn't know anything, right?"

"Are you laughing at my joke?"

Noticing the change in his attitude, Zhu Zhanji's face changed instantly, and he suddenly realized the inappropriateness of his words. He then waved his hands repeatedly and kept a certain distance from him, fearing that he would be beaten for this matter.

However, he did not say less, and also explained himself:

“Hey hey hey…”

"Dad!"

"Your own father, you probably can't say that, and you can't think that way."

"My son doesn't have so many thoughts and doesn't mean that."

"It's just that I always feel that what you said today is a little different and unique from your previous personality."

"But I don't mean to belittle you or look down on you at all."

"This statement can be verified by the sun and the moon."

When he saw this, he jumped away, away from his son.

Zhu Gaochi could not help but be slightly stunned. After thinking for a moment, a bitter smile appeared on his face. He pointed at his son who was afraid of being beaten. After smiling helplessly, he shook his head again. He did not choose to hide the matter and said:
"This matter."

"It really is."

"I didn't expect that you, a rascal who usually keeps a low profile, actually understand your father's character better than anyone else."

"But this matter was really guessed by you, a bastard."

"These words, these remarks, really did not come from my mouth, but from your second uncle's mouth. These are the words your second uncle said when he tried to persuade me."

"In a sense, what we are saying now is just repeating what he said to us before."

"but."

"To be honest, these words are really thought-provoking!"

“It really opened my eyes.”

"I have seen and understood a lot of things during this time. In the past, I always struggled and could not figure out things."

"What do you think?"

"How do you think of today's words?"

Don’t say it yet!
This was said quite openly, without hiding anything at all, but he admitted it openly.

It can be said that Zhu Zhanji listened and looked sideways slightly. Looking at his old father who seemed to be more relaxed and his thoughts were much clearer than before, he didn't know why he couldn't help feeling relieved in his heart.

In fact, let alone Zhu Gaoxu said these words.

There were times when, seeing Zhu Gaochi struggling and being cautious about everything, he actually wanted to say something in his heart, but was constrained by their relationship and etiquette.

Of course, the most important point is the fear of being beaten for saying certain things, so there are many things I want to say but dare not say.

It can be said that Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have told his old father everything he had wanted to say but dared not say in the past.

What can he say about this?
After a brief pause, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but smile a little, nodded in agreement, and responded:

"What can I think of this, my son?"

"Of course I agree with this very much, and I don't think there is any problem here at all."

"Second Uncle's words are easy to understand and thought-provoking. I can't help but admire them."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed. His half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and he said in doubt:

"According to your meaning."

"That is, this was not done by Second Uncle alone, but you and him did it together?"

"It's not that the civil officials are colluding with my second uncle. Is everything your idea?"

Seeing that he had reacted, Zhu Gaochi smiled like an aunt and replied with interest:

"Well"
