My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 335

  Chapter 335 Kai Taiping

  Seeing that everyone is silent.

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the fundamental reason is the benefit of this land distribution."

   Zhu Di was a little puzzled when he heard this.

Zhang Anshi patiently analyzed: "In the past, the common people ate one meal and thought about the next one. Although the wealthy households and gentry had money, most of their money was accumulated. After all, no matter how the family Food and drink are also limited, so you can't eat a pig a day, right?"

"Because of this, most of the time, wealthy households and sages earn one hundred and save ninety. What do you do with the surplus grain and money you save? Isn't it for the purpose of annexing land and buying more farmland? "

   "Because of this, the people are poor and can't even eat enough, let alone have any surplus money."

"But since these nine counties have land and many people have surplus food, it is inevitable that some people will need to spend money. In order to save manpower, they often buy farming tools. Also... the bull market is also very hot now. The government has asked them to dig You can also earn some money by building canals. Therefore... although the money at hand is not much, there are hundreds of thousands of households. It is not small. Therefore, seeing this situation, many small shopkeepers and traders simply set up shops in various townships and counties, selling some things that farmers need, from floral cloths for women, hairpins, and children's clothes. Toys, or cloth shoes, or even opening a small restaurant for people to eat and drink, are also profitable."

"According to the statistics of the minister, in this year, there are more than 1,700 small shops of various kinds that have sprung up from the county towns of the nine counties to the townships. This business is very good. Bad. But there are so many shops, they must buy in. The source of the goods...is in Qixia, Qixia naturally, and there are many large and small workshops that supply these."

"In this way, the nine counties have been rejuvenated. Although the consumption power of farmers is not strong, this is a newly opened market. In addition, there are many more shops and workshops, which has led to We have to recruit workers to produce. These recruited workers also need to eat, drink, and eat, but they also promote the prosperity of the merchants. Naturally, the merchants want to buy more goods, and this workshop will inevitably expand production, so ..."

  Zhu Di felt dizzy when he heard it. Why does it seem... like a loop all the time?

  But after thinking about it carefully, he also understood the meaning of Zhang Anshi's words, and said, "It's not surprising."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "To put it bluntly, the prosperity of Qixia was brought about by the nine counties. The people of the nine counties live well, and it is only in Qixia that there are so many shops and workshops everywhere. Your Majesty, it can be said that they are so complementary. No."

Zhu Di sighed, then turned around, looked at Yang Rong and the others, and said, "Study hard and read more. If not, can you really know what the world looks like with the Four Books and Five Classics? Here in Taiping Mansion, there are other prefectures. It's different, you have to figure out its laws, so that you don't have time to... what's going on here, you're all blinded, and you don't understand anything.”

  Yang Rong listened carefully, as if he had been pondering Zhang Anshi's words for a long time, after chewing carefully, he felt that it was a completely new field.

  The last time he came to Qixia, he only cared about going around the countryside, but now that he thinks about it, the countryside in those six counties is not just the whole picture of Taiping Mansion.

  Xia Yuanji blushed. In fact, when Zhu Di scolded him, he just thought he was scolding him.

So Xia Yuanji said embarrassingly: "The money and food affairs in Taiping Mansion are indeed different from those in other places. I... I am ashamed and owe the Holy Grace. Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty, Rong Chen will take some time to lead the officials of the household department." , to visit here for a few days.”

  Zhu Di felt that Xia Yuanji's idea was good, so he nodded and said, "That's right!"

   Then he looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Zhang Qing, you are responsible for entertaining them."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Yes."

  Zhu Di immediately remembered something, and asked again: "Has the commercial tax in Taiping Mansion started this year?"

   "The collection has already started, but the first collection is the grain tax, so..."

Zhu Di nodded: "Half of the agricultural and commercial taxes in the Taiping Mansion will go to the Ministry of Households, and the rest will be left to the Taiping Mansion for its own disposal. When the commercial tax comes to fruition, it will be prepared to hand over the grain to the Ministry of Households as well. Escort."

  Zhang Anshi should go down.

After all, Zhu Di stood up and sighed: "It's not easy for Zhang Qing, such a big mess, oh, yes, I still have a plan, but... I won't tell you anymore, you will naturally know."

   Zhang An Shizhang Er's monk, can't figure it out.

  Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and said: "It's getting late, so I watched what I should have seen. Fuck it, jump off a building in broad daylight. It's really **** bad luck."

  People's joys and sorrows are not the same.

  This week, everyone was so sad that they jumped off the stairs and fell directly into a meat paste, but Zhu Di just felt disgusted.

  As for Yang Rong, Hu Guang and others, when they followed Zhu Di out of the group of Confucian pavilions, they all weighed their feet, fearing that there would still be blood stains on their shoe uppers.

  Zhang Anshi is busy sending the emperor off.

   After he could no longer see the mighty figure clearly, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

  But at this time, Qiu Song came running excitedly: "Big brother, big brother..."

  He ran fast.

  Zhang Anshi looked at him with a smile: "What's wrong, what good did you do?"

Qiu Song rarely said with some excitement: "Look at the excitement. At Dongxiang Temple, many people... climbed to the bell tower and wanted to jump down. Three of them have already jumped down. The second and third brothers are so happy to see it. Come and invite big brother to go together."

Zhang Anshi suddenly turned cold, and scolded: "What's so interesting about this, you are so big, and you still do things like children, Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu, those two bastards, they have led you to ruin. Come on, Go and drag those two guys back to me, you can be regarded as generals if you are good-looking, and you are idle all day long."

  Qiu Song thought for a while and said, "We just took our troops to the six counties for a drill, and we just returned the day before yesterday. Didn't we agree to rest for three days?"

Zhang Anshi said with a straight face: "Don't be so long-winded, oops...Those bastards, jumping off the building in Qixia, will damage my image of Taiping Mansion! If you are his mother, find someone for me, find their family, teach them to pay, pay for health expenses and Mental damage fee. Ask Chen Li to go in person and get a driver's sticker, so as not to die, but to die here, what does that mean?"

  Qiu Song: "..."

  Qiu Song was originally scolded by Zhang Anshi, and the stubbornness in his bones suddenly broke out. He wanted to try to confront his elder brother, but when he heard what his elder brother said, he suddenly felt that his bones were weak.

   I have to say, the elder brother is a good guy, he is more ruthless than me, Qiu Song.

  Zhang Anshi pulled Qiu Song and taught Qiu Song not to run around, so Qiu Song had to accompany Zhang Anshi to have a meal.

  At this time, an **** came: "His Royal Highness, please see Duke Wei."

  Zhang Anshi said in surprise: "Why is my brother-in-law looking for me?"

  The **** said anxiously: "It should be business, it's urgent."

  Zhang Anshi didn't say much, just said: "Then I will set off immediately."

   After finishing speaking, he directly carried Qiu Song and said as he walked, "Follow me, protect me along the way, and stop messing around with Zhu Yong and the other two bastards."

  In the East Palace.

   Zhu Gaochi, who received the decree, did not take his eyes off the decree.

  After a long time, he handed over the imperial decree to Yang Pu, a scholar of Zhan Shifu.

  Yang Pu has already established a basic trust with the prince Zhu Gaochi, and his talent has also been recognized by Zhu Gaochi.

  With the assistance of Yang Pu, Zhu Gaochi handled the affairs of Zhan Shifu more easily. At this time, he had to thank Zhang Anshi for recommending a sage to him.

  The most important thing is that Yang Pu acts prudently and has his own opinions on everything he does. Many times, Zhu Gaochi was convinced by what he proposed.

  Zhu Gaochi said: "Master Yang, take a look, what is the meaning of this father?"

  Yang Pu only looked at it, and then said: "His Royal Highness...what do you think?"

  Zhu Gaochi said: "The magistrates and magistrates of the prefectures and counties should be recommended by the Ministry of Officials, especially those below the fourth grade. There is no need to spend so much trouble. Now His Majesty has given me full power..."

  Yang Pu shook his head and said, "This is not a right, but a responsibility."

   "Responsible?" Zhu Gaochi looked at Yang Pu in amazement, with puzzlement in his eyes.

"Your Majesty dismissed so many magistrates and county magistrates at once. It can be seen that he is extremely dissatisfied with the affairs of the various prefectures, and he is determined to clean them up. Since he wants to clean up, then who is His Royal Highness planning...to be promoted? If it is the successor, it will still be like this, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will bear this huge responsibility."

  Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly and said, "Father...this is a problem for me."

  Yang Pu shook his head and said: "Actually, this is not a question, because the answer has already been written. Your Majesty just announced the Taiping Mansion, and then turned around and directly abolished all the officials in the prefectures and counties. Isn't the answer obvious?"

  Zhu Gaochi looked hesitant and said: "Then...you mean..."

   "His Majesty hopes that His Highness will promote people who are the same as the officials of the Taiping Mansion."

  Zhu Gaochi said: "The same person?"

  Yang Pudao: "To be precise, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who promotes the officials of the Taiping Mansion and appoints them to govern the prefectures and counties."

  After Zhu Gaochi heard this, he suddenly realized, and said: "I have actually thought about this possibility, but... since it is so, the emperor's order is, why..."

Yang Pu smiled and said: "Because the prince is the future lord of the country, if His Royal Highness is appointed, it is a show of kindness. In this way, those newly promoted officials will naturally be grateful to the prince. On the other hand, It also removed their worries. Those who implement the New Deal are most afraid of changing the order from day to day. Today His Majesty wants them to carry out the New Deal. They try their best to do it, and they have offended many people. If the Son of Heaven is a courtier, they may be left out in the cold."

"Your Highness, why are the people of later generations seldom afraid of bringing forth the new? The root of the reason lies in Shang Yang. Those who implement the new policy must touch the fundamental interests of people in order to succeed. But once they offend people to death, they will put themselves in a very dangerous situation. , even if they are protected by the emperor and can be in power for ten or twenty years, once... a new master is changed, there is a risk of being killed or even opened the coffin. Because of this, most of the later generations of politicians like to be confused, The so-called rare and confused is also true, often do everything smoothly, never dare to cross the threshold easily, to be honest... this is what many people... are afraid of."

  Zhu Gaochi listened carefully, and seemed to have gained some insights from it.

   "So His Majesty needs the Crown Prince to come to do this matter, just to tell the whole world, His Majesty the Crown Prince... also supports the Taiping Mansion, and even teaches these officials who risked their lives to follow Zhang Anshi to know that if Your Majesty..."

  Yang Pu was here, paused intentionally, and then said: "Then there is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is no need for them to worry about matters in the palace, as long as they dare to burn the boat, they will be able to rest easy in the future."

  Zhu Gaochi said: "Father, do you want to borrow my name?"

  Yang Pu smiled and said, "Exactly."

  Zhu Gaochi said: "Mr. Yang, it seems that Father has made up his mind."

  Yang Pu said: "The comparison is so disparate, how can your majesty not make up your mind? Your highness is gentle, and your majesty knows that your highness is not a strict person. That's why you mentioned something to your highness. It's time to do something."

Zhu Gaochi sighed and said: "Judging from the results of the New Deal, the New Deal is inevitable. It's just that I am afraid that it will be too urgent and cause turmoil in the world. But... since the father has made up his mind, I, as a son, How can you hesitate? Besides, this kid An Shi has made real achievements, and this palace is also elated."

  Yang Pu didn't say much about this, but with a smile on his face, he agreed.

  Zhu Gaochi felt relieved, and said: "Actually...according to my opinion, those Taiping government officials will be relieved only if Zhan Ji is asked to make this appointment."

   This was originally a joke, Yang Pu couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

  Look...Three generations have arranged for you clearly. If you are worried about this, it would be a bit impolite.

  But at this time, I heard a voice say: "Oh, brother-in-law, you awakened the dreamer with just one word!"

  Zhu Gaochi: "..."

  But saw Zhang Anshi walking in excitedly.

  Yang Pu was surprised, and quickly got up to greet Zhang Anshi.

  Zhang Anshi only nodded to him, and said excitedly: "Let Zhu Zhanji come, it would be great. Zhanji, where is Zhanji? Teach him, and I will personally urge him to write the letter of appointment."

  Zhu Gaochi then said: "Okay, don't mess around."

He sat down, and continued: "I already know about your affairs in Taiping Mansion. You have done a good job, very good, and I am also honored. This time, there are Fengyang Mansion, Huai'an Mansion, and Zhenjiang Mansion. The magistrates and county magistrates have all been dismissed, and now His Majesty has ordered me to choose a new official, I think...or let the officials of the Taiping Mansion take over, you draw up a charter for the palace, and choose the candidates."

  Zhang Anshidao: "Brother-in-law, this is easy to handle. I will draw up a candidate in a few days."

  Zhu Gaochi took a deep look at Zhang Anshi, and hinted: "We must act vigorously and resolutely."

  Zhang Anshidao: "It must be vigorous and resolute! It's just that some people may have relatively low official positions... Let them directly... be promoted, will they..."

   This may involve jumping several levels in a row.

"This is no problem." Just when Zhu Gaochi was hesitating, Yang Pu said without hesitation: "In fact, as long as they are allowed to try temporarily, the imperial court has precedents of 'testing the magistrate' and 'testing the county', but we will not increase it for the time being." First-class product, try it first, if it is really usable, then make it a full-time job."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Scholar Yang knows more."

Yang Pu smiled and said: "However, there is no such precedent for civil servants. It's just that there was a precedent of 'testing thousands of households' during Emperor Taizu Gao's reign. However, for such things, the emphasis is on flexibility. First of all, these are trivial details, what is needed now is actual results.”

  Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "Look, Master Yang has said everything I said."

  Zhang Anshidao: "If that's the case, then it's considered finalized."

   "No rush." ​​Yang Pu said, "Actually, there is one more thing that hasn't been discussed."

  Zhu Gaochi said: "What's the matter?"

  Yang Pudao: "It is not necessary to appoint people from the Taiping Mansion first. Instead... Your Royal Highness, please appoint Hanlin officials to serve as magistrates and magistrates..."

  Zhu Gaochi: "..."

  Zhang Anshi seemed to have caught something all of a sudden, his eyes seemed to open up and brighten up suddenly.

   It is obviously crazy for Hanlin officials to serve as magistrates and magistrates.

  On the one hand, Hanlin Qinggui, the editor of the same seventh rank, and the magistrate of the seventh rank, on the surface, are of the same rank, but in fact they are very different.

   To put it bluntly, in the eyes of editors, a mere county magistrate is worse than a dog.

  If the editor is allowed to go, it is tantamount to killing the whole family.

   On the other hand, His Majesty has just dismissed so many magistrates and magistrates, and the descendants of these people are still officials. It can be seen that the risk of succeeding to such an official position is extremely high.

  Can you guarantee that the grain production will not decrease in the coming year? And without causing wrath and resentment, can you still pay a certain amount of money and food to the Taiping Mansion's standard?

  Once the coming year comes, it will be the same again, which means that these new officials may also be finished like their predecessors.

Zhang Anshi said cheerfully: "Yes, yes, brother-in-law, you should show how much you value the Imperial Academy. Aren't they the most talkative? If you directly appoint the officials of the Taiping Mansion, they will definitely not accept it. Simply appoint them first. They, they must be like dead parents."

  Zhu Gaochi couldn't help hesitating: "Isn't this a little...a little..."

  He originally wanted to say negative, but he thought it was Yang Pu's idea... so he couldn't say it too bluntly.

  Yang Pu smiled and said: "If this is not the case, there must be some people who are eccentric about His Royal Highness's decision-making. If you want people to shut up, you must first appoint them. When the time comes, everyone must refuse."

"When the heat is almost up, since they are unwilling to go, His Highness took advantage of the situation and directly appointed candidates from the Taiping Mansion. In the future, if they dare to be eccentric and His Highness the Crown Prince is furious, there will be a reason to punish them severely. Chu Jun shared his worries, but now he has chosen another wise man, but he still dares to speak nonsense, this is disloyalty and injustice."

  Zhu Gaochi smiled wryly and shook his head, "Then according to Master Yang, which Hanlin is suitable for appointment?"

  Yang Pu said calmly and calmly: "The officials in the Hanlin Academy are very familiar with each other. Which ones... the officials will first draw up some candidates."

  Zhu Gaochi said: "Very good."

  Zhang Anshi couldn't help but admire Yang Pu, this guy... is also very dark.

   By the way, were all these ancient spirits so black-hearted?

Yang Pu seemed to have seen Zhang Anshi's thoughts, so he smiled wryly and said: "Mr. Wei, this is not my cunning, it is actually something in the temple. Bo Yun is treacherous. Whatever you do, you must have the name of righteousness, and you must consider all opposition. The measures are to be one step ahead of others and make them speechless before they can follow the trend in an upright manner. If you don't hold up this moral banner, others will hold it up.”

   "Ah... yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Anshi followed kindness, nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said: "I understand, be taught, be taught."

  Yang Pu said to Zhu Gaochi again: "Your Highness, in addition to this, the officials in the East Palace also have to select a group of people to go to the Taiping Mansion to watch the government."

  Zhu Gaochi asked in surprise, "What's the meaning of this?"

Yang Pu then said: "The officials in the Eastern Palace are not officials in the court. Most of the officials in the Eastern Palace are young and have relatively low qualifications. Although they are in a prosperous spring, their spirits have not yet been smoothed. Let them go to watch politics. One is to show Your Majesty that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince closely follows His Majesty, father sings and son follows, this is filial piety."

"Secondly, it is also to tell the people of the world that His Royal Highness supports the New Deal, not just for superficial articles, but to implement it in practice. Even His Highness's own staff must be sent to the Taiping Mansion to understand the pros and cons of the New Deal. The third thing , these officials, go to observe the government, and His Royal Highness can also take the opportunity to observe them, who is a man who can be made, who is stubborn, and who is arrogant and frivolous, you can tell at a glance. Righteousness, it is difficult to see the depth of a person purely by looking at the memorial, and taking this opportunity, His Royal Highness also has an idea in his heart, why not?"

  Zhu Gaochi nodded secretly, then looked at Zhang Anshi: "Anshi, you are responsible for arranging these people."

  Zhang Anshi said: "If you wrong them, then don't blame me."

  Zhu Gaochi said: "This is an important matter. It doesn't matter if you are wronged or not. The important thing is...you have to pay close attention to who is better at that time. You can see more clearly when you are closer."

   "Yes." Zhang Anshi was overjoyed.

  Zhang Anshi took a sneak peek at Yang Pu. This Yang Pu does things in a one-two-three-four-five way. You can say that he is sinister, but that's not right. But you can say that he is serious, but these methods are not in accordance with common sense.

  Zhang Anshi coughed: "Master Yang, what do you think of Taiping Mansion?"

  Yang Pu said: "Truth or lie?"

  Zhang Anshi said: "The truth."

Yang Pudao: "A few days ago, His Royal Highness read the "Book of Han" and kept praising Zhang Shizhi, the court lieutenant of Hanwen Emperor, as talented. But I replied to His Royal Highness: Zhang Shizhi is indeed talented, but if It wasn't for the generosity and benevolence of Emperor Wenwen of Han, he would not be able to display his ambitions."

After a pause, Yang Pu continued: "The so-called scholar dies for a confidant. I, Yang Pu, have little talent, but I was recommended by the Duke of Wei. The prince loves me so much, and I am regarded as the confidant of the humerus. So today's Yang Pu is a personal preference. In fact, hatred and hatred are not important anymore, there is only one Yang Pu in the world who does his best to serve His Highness the Crown Prince, and to serve the work of a dog and a horse, he must die."

  Chapter 2 was delivered, and the code words were not easy. Every day is in the middle of the night, and a lot of age has to be compared to readers. Please ask for a monthly ticket. Tiger loves you.
