Chapter 124 The eldest son acts as a shield, and the second son acts as a spear! (Second update)
Watching Zhao Mao and other officials leave.
Zhu Yuanzhang threw aside the memorial in his hand.
He had been hesitant before, whether to do this or not, and he was even resistant in his heart.
But from the reactions of Zhao Hao and others, he already understood in his heart that Xia Zhibai's idea was right. The court must strengthen its control over the local area, otherwise things like Guo Huan's embezzlement and corruption would continue to happen. Repeatedly banned.
The existence of Jinyiwei can only make officials afraid.
But the local government's "eyes and ears" can make local officials afraid.
Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the soft cushion, scratching his back with Yu Ruyi, and kept thinking in his mind.
Gradually, a relatively complete situation of monitoring the world was formed in his mind, one inside, one outside, one up and one down.
It is not enough to just rely on Jin Yiwei to monitor the court ministers. These local enterprises must also be used to collect local data, and the statistics are generous, so as to deter and warn local officials not to do anything that is not evil. It’s not that the imperial court doesn’t understand the local reality. If you dare to do one thing to your face and another to your back, the imperial court will definitely know about it and will definitely bring you to justice.
Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty be stable.
Soon.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
He just made it clear on the front foot that he would not listen to Xia Zhibai's words, and then changed his mind on the back foot. Would it seem inappropriate?
Then Zhu Yuanzhang sneered. He was an emperor, so it was reasonable and reasonable to accept the advice of his ministers, and he had always put Zhu Biao in charge.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Pu Gou'er, go and tell the prince and tell him about the iron ore that Xia Zhibai mentioned and the matter of opening the salt factory to the north. We agreed."
"Old slave, I will pass on the order now." Pu Gou'er said respectfully.
East Palace.
Zhu Biao frowned and looked at a memorial.
This was sent to the palace by Fang Mo and others. What was written on it was what Xia Zhibai had done recently.
Looking at the daring things above, Zhu Biao also showed a bit of displeasure and said angrily: "This Xia Zhibai is really lawless."
"I have authorized some situations, but not What did he think of the officials of the Ministry of Works? Did he really think he was the engineer of his salt farm? He asked Zhou Ning and others to train apprentices, and even wrote teaching materials for him. , can Xia Zhibai make such a rude request? Can Zhou Ning actually agree to it? "
"The Ming Dynasty's household registration system is so strict, how can he be allowed to tamper with it easily?"
< br>“There is also the abolition of the kitchen household system.”
"The world's self-made salt is based on the kitchen household system."
"It's good for him. He made a set of 'employment' and completely abolished the kitchen household system in the factory."
"Does he still have the Ming Dynasty's household registration system in his eyes?"
Zhu Biao looked stern.
He was really shocked by Xia Zhibai's actions.
In the past, in the name of sheltering refugees, he turned a blind eye to transforming some refugees into kitchen households.
Now Xia Zhibai still wants these children from Zaofu households to learn and read?
How can this be done?
Isn’t this going against the principles of heaven and earth?
He didn't believe that Xia Zhibai couldn't find any other solution, so he decided to use this most expensive method.
Xia Zhibai did it on purpose.
He took advantage of the expansion of enterprises and the shortage of skilled workers to operate machines to achieve his goal of raising the status of 'workers and peasants'. Xia Zhibai's plan almost hit him right in front of his eyes. How could you not understand?
And he saw one more thing.
Xia Zhibai does not recognize the ‘small government’ model created by his father.
Xia Zhibai recommends big government.
But this conflict of ideas is fatal.
It is impossible for my father to change it for Xia Zhibai, not to mention that the system construction of the Ming Dynasty has been basically completed, how can it be easily changed again? Everything Xia Zhibai is doing now is provoking his father's authority and challenging his father's patience.
Xia Zhibai really thinks his father can’t notice?
My father is like a mirror in his heart.
It was just that some of Xia Zhibai's opinions did have merit and were indeed deficiencies in the Ming Dynasty's system. Only then did the father resist his murderous intention.
But Xia Zhibai cannot always be spared.
Once Xia Zhibai loses the value of improving the existing system, he will have no use value to his father and the Ming Dynasty.
He can die.
But this is under the premise that Xia Zhibai does not act recklessly.
If Xia Zhibai is still so lawless, sooner or later his father will not be able to tolerate him.
The father is already strong and violent, how can he allow Xia Zhibai to get angry again and again? Even if what Xia Zhibai said is right.
That won’t work either.
The emperor cannot be humiliated, let alone humiliated.
Zhu Biao put the memorial aside and picked up another memorial casually.
This is a memorial that has been drafted a long time ago, and even the seal has been stamped, but it has not been issued yet.
This is about iron ore arrangements.
He originally wanted to draw part of it directly from Linjiang Prefecture.
But thinking of Xia Zhibai's maverick and unconventional behavior, he was worried that it would disrupt the normal iron smelting in Linjiang Mansion. After thinking for a long time, he still did not dare to let Xia Zhibai go to these thirteen institutions. In the iron smelting area, the iron ore that King Yan Zhu Di wanted to mine some time ago was directly handed over to Xia Zhibai for management.
That is, Shuntian Prefecture Zunhua Tieye.
Zhu Biao also had his own thoughts on this move.
He knew his younger brothers very well, and they were respectful on the surface, but secretly he complained about his father, thinking that his father favored him too much. In the past few years, King Qin and King Jin even built a dragon bed and a dragon chair in his mansion. , and even privately built the emperor's crown uniform. My fourth brother is no less generous.
Although he is not as blatant as the second and third brothers, he has been expanding his team in private.
He knows everything about Yingtian Mansion.
However, Zhu Biao didn't take it too seriously and just regarded these actions as a child throwing a tantrum. However, as a prince with real power, Zhu Biao had to make some appropriate arrangements, at least to suppress them. Zhu Di's domineering momentum.
Zhu Di wanted to open an iron mine in Shuntianfu.
He can agree, but he wants to use the smelted iron to build equipment privately.
This is absolutely impossible.
Now Xia Zhibai just wants to open a mine, so he will put the mine in Shuntian and let these two thorns have a try.
Zhu Di is now twenty-five years old. He is in his prime of life and wants to compete with everyone. Now Zhu Di has worked hard for a long time to beg for the iron ore, but it has fallen into the hands of Xia Zhibai, which is enough for Zhu Di. I have been unhappy for a long time.
Let the two of them make fun of each other.
With Zhu Di watching from the side, Xia Zhibai didn't dare to make too many mistakes even if he thought about it.
Think about it.
Zhu Biao put the memorial aside.
Now, everything has been arranged, and we are just waiting for my father to agree.
Just then.
Pu Gouer came to deliver the message.
Zhu Biao smiled and handed the memorial to Pu Gouer directly, saying: "I was just thinking about it, but before I knew it, my father came with the decree. Eunuch Pu, help me deliver this memorial." Take a moment."
Pu Gouer was stunned for a moment, and quickly reached out to take it: "Your Highness, you are welcome, this is what a slave should do."
Zhu Biao did not stop there, and went on. He picked out a memorial from the table, with a strange look on his lips, and said: "Here is a memorial sent by King Yan. I have approved it. I will also ask my father-in-law to pass this memorial on, but"
< br>
"This memorial is different from the previous one."
"We have to wait until Xia Zhibai leaves for Shuntian Mansion before sending it over."
Pu Gouer was startled.
But he didn’t dare to ask any more questions and quickly took it into his hands.
Zhu Biao waved his hand, indicating that Pu Gouer could go and deliver the order.
Pu Gou'er bowed respectfully and retreated.
Looking at Pu Gouer's leaving figure, a smile appeared on Zhu Biao's lips and said: "I wonder what happened when Xia Zhibai just arrived at Shuntian Mansion and the fourth son came to the door angrily? What a scene, come to think of it, it should be quite exciting.”
“Haha.”
Zhu Biao thought for a while and continued to work on the memorial.
Shuntian Prefecture Beiping.
It is raining in northern Xinjiang.
At the top of the nine-story tower of Heping Temple, Zhu Di leaned on the railing and looked out.
You have a panoramic view of all the scenes in Peiping and beyond the Great Wall.
At this moment, Zhu Di's eyes were full of aggression and aggressiveness.
Slowly, he turned his gaze to the south end, looking at the picturesque scenery of Jiangnan in ecstasy, with a touch of confusion and anxiety in his eyes, and a bit of ambition.
The rain fell heavier and heavier, like a kite with a broken string, gradually blocking Zhu Di's vision.
Behind Zhu Di sat a bald man wearing a black robe. The man had a gentle face and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. It is better to go to the temple to take shelter from the rain."
Zhu Di glanced at Yao Guangxiao, nodded, walked under the eaves of the temple, and said, "Do you think my father will agree to open a mine in Peiping?"
Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "I don't know. "
Zhu Di snorted and said displeasedly: "It was your suggestion to get the imperial court to agree to mine in Peiping. Why don't you tell me now? "
Yao Guang Xiao said: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to military affairs nowadays, and a large amount of refined iron produced in the world is also used in forging weapons. With your majesty's talent and strategy, you must understand the principle of not allowing others to snore on the side of the bed?"< br>
“The imperial court will definitely carry out the Northern Expedition.”
“And His Highness’s Shuntian Mansion will be the frontier.”
Zhu Di sneered and said dissatisfied: “What’s the use of that? ? My father will not agree with me as a general. If I want to achieve military success, I can only rely on my strength. At that time, General Chang Yuchun was the soldier and my father-in-law. They were not killed by mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Whatever I can do, I, Zhu Di, can do the same.”
“I just don’t understand. You clearly know that the imperial court has long been doomed. There are only thirteen iron smelting areas in the world, and there is no Shuntian Mansion. Why do you insist on asking me to submit a letter?”
"What's the point?"
"Just to let my father scold me again?"
"Let someone give me a shoe upper to whip me?"
Zhu Di He looked at Yao Guangxiao with an evil look. He had always been a little suspicious of this bald donkey, feeling that this person was either bad or bad.
Not a good thing.
Yao Guangxiao pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness is a man who has the world in mind. Because of this, Your Highness needs to keep one thing in mind at all times. For a person like His Highness, the greatest pain is not to be beaten or defeated in a battle, but Ignored."
"Your Majesty is your fourth son."
"What you seek in your Majesty's plan is to have both offense and defense."
"The eldest son leaves. After using stability as a shield to protect the family, Fang Second Son took risks as a spear to pave the way forward, and the family will prosper."
"The King of Jin and the King of Yan have followed His Royal Highness since childhood, and their relationship is better than that of other vassal princes. It’s closer, so if His Highness doesn’t seek ‘presence’ from time to time, His Majesty will ignore His Highness most of the time.”
"The more eager your Highness is to make contributions, the more he will be appreciated in His Majesty's eyes."
"Because what Your Majesty wants is for the 'second son to take risks as a spear'!"
