First Prince of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 790

  Only a few days after the Longevity Festival, Nuanyu started to activate. Thanks to Yunjin’s careful care, the fetus was well-raised, and the delivery was naturally smooth. Granny Wen came out to congratulate her soon after entering.

  Zhu Biao finally welcomed his first daughter, and rewarded the palace servants here, the empress rewarded him with a golden lock collar, and the emperor also rewarded his granddaughter with a jade ruyi.

With the cooperation of Wang Rui, the situation has improved a lot, but occasionally there are still symptoms of metrorrhagia, and the child will vomit every now and then, unable to take milk, and the small body is still very thin, but the mother and child are still alive. down.

  So the atmosphere in the palace finally improved, and so did the hall, but the capital became more and more lively. The attachment of Yunnan, Guizhou and Liaodong made many people feel at ease and gradually get rid of the shadow of troubled times.

  The ban on alcohol, coal mines and many other aspects was gradually relaxed. Coupled with the change of imperial decrees, merchants became more and more active, and rural markets and grass markets increased in large numbers.

  North aside, according to reports, the period of regular fairs in southern villages and towns has been shortened, and professional markets such as valley markets, silk markets, pig markets, and medicine markets have appeared in many prefectural capitals.

  At the beginning, the Ministry of Accounting was still a little uncomfortable, but there was no shortage of capable people in the Ministry of Accounting, and Zhao Wenjing, the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, was even more visionary. The whole team quickly adapted and began to contact the organization and increase the business tax.

  The rise of the household department made many people a little greedy, and wanted to reach out, but they were all beaten back by Zhu Biao, and even many officials were eliminated from the household department.

   I can’t help it anymore, can’t I be crazy when Haimao opens?

   Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the erroneous things from happening now. When the prince is determined to do something, no one can do anything about it.

  It’s a pity that father and son are united in one mind, and old Zhu Quan pretended not to understand. Whoever dares to speak out will be reprimanded, and then he will be kicked out in disgrace.

   These are all decent officials, so there is no need to say more about what will happen to them if they are not decent.

  Reduce taxes, promote merchants, promote schools, gradually liberate craftsmen, stimulate the rapid development of handicraft manufacturing, porcelain manufacturing and other businesses, and encourage business gangs to form caravans to cross state capitals and even go to sea to trade with Southeast Asian countries.

  Use the money and food obtained to build official roads and canals, and ordered the local guards to send troops to wipe out bandits and pirates, set up folk posts in traffic arteries and desolate places, ensure the circulation of goods, and improve the transportation system of the state capitals of Ming Dynasty.

It happened that Nanxiong merchants sold goods into Beijing. When they arrived at Changhuaiguan, they were detained by the officials for taxation and refused to let them go for several months. The merchants had no choice but to sue the officials. Pursue their salaries to compensate the merchants.

In this way, the mountain ladder and sea navigation, Xian Fengchen paid tribute, the square track was completed, and the capital was strong, decorated with admiration, wheels and hooves intersected, and silk pipes competed. More modern and ancient.

By the sixth year of Hongwu, there were thirty-seven markets in the capital, nearly half of which were mainly bazaar trade, and shop trade was also very prosperous. There were so many people coming and going. .

  Looking from the top of the restaurant, you can see the grand occasion of the crowds.

Prosperous places have their own insidious dependence. At that time, Yushitai impeached many officials of the household department. He used the increase of classes as his ability, and his strictness as his strength. Establish fame and lust, wantonly punish!

  The emperor severely reprimanded the Minister of the Household Department, and ordered the prince to lead a strict investigation at the Dali Temple in Yushitai. In less than a month, hundreds of heads fell, and thousands of people were exiled to Liaodong, in order to uphold the official’s heart.

   But the benefits are heavy and people tend to follow them, not only officials but also nobles. Ordinary officials even have people who tell the court to seek justice, but most businessmen shrink back in the face of the founding of the country.

  But most of the businessmen are cunning. Not only did some businessmen not avoid it when they saw it, they even took the initiative to come to the door with their wealth, just asking for a signboard, a signboard that can run rampant in the state capital and not be exploited and oppressed by officials.

   Some princes and nobles still know how to measure, while others are obsessed with profit. Their accumulation during the wars in the past and the rewards they received when they founded the country already have a lot of money, which can be called strong assets.

But it’s normal to have a lack of people’s hearts. No matter how much family business you have, you can’t bear to sit and eat. Especially after you don’t go to the battlefield, you have taken in many concubines and given birth to many children. It’s decent, not shabby.

   At this time, there are merchants who send money to vote, how can they refuse?

  …

   “Huh, this Hu Weiyong has been very attentive recently, and let him do all the good people.”

  Emperor Zhu’s face was not worried. Just now, Hu Weiyong led six ministers and several martial arts officers, when the imperial prelude was correct, he suddenly pleaded for mercy for several Qichunhou Kang Duo who were dismissed from their posts and imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs due to business affairs.

  Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and said: “Several ministers will follow suit, presumably because of the face of my son. After all, Kang Duo accompanied my son to study for two years when he was young.”

   “It’s because we read that he had read with you and was young, so he didn’t abolish his title. He almost killed someone, and he can’t be locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a while?”

“It’s not appropriate to let it go or not to let it go, but it really can’t continue to be locked up without a name and a role.” Zhu Biao’s hand flipping through the memorial suddenly stopped: “Father, it is too coincidental that my son wants to come to Kang Duo now. Well, not long after Duke Qi died of illness, Kang Duo became a young man, and he happened to be an old man who had accompanied his son to study.”

   “There are really too many reasons to grant mercy outside the law, but this juncture is the critical time to make an example of others. It is easy to pardon Kang Duo, but it is not easy for the nobles and old friends behind to be unbiased.”

  At this time, the **** came in and reported: “Report to Your Majesty, the empress is waiting outside the hall.”

  The father and son looked at each other, and they knew it in their hearts. It must be because of this matter. If it was a family matter or to send some food, Empress Ma would come in directly, who would dare to stop it.

  Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and said: “Go and invite your mother to come in.”

  Zhu Biao responded with a cry, stood up and straightened his sleeves, walked out of the palace door to salute his mother, and then please enter the palace, then waved the palace people to leave, leaving only Liu Jin and the female officer in charge of Queen Ma to serve.

   There were only two chairs in Jinshen Hall. Zhu Biaoxu supported his mother and sat down in his place. Liu Jin took the old teacup and offered new tea, and then stood to the side with the female officer and bowed his head to serve.

   The couple greeted each other briefly, and Zhu Biao asked with a smile: “The empress mother is here for Kang Duo, isn’t it? Mrs. Qiguo asked you to intercede?”

  Empress Ma sighed: “People are still crying and waiting for Xin’er in Kunning Palace. I didn’t want to come, but I can’t help her, so I can only say that I will try.”

  Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and reprimanded the female officer over there: “Anyone can be presumptuous in the Queen’s Palace, what are you people doing!”

  The female official hastily bowed down: “I will die for my servant!”

Liu Jin couldn’t stand anymore and could only kneel down. Empress Ma couldn’t bear to see this and hurriedly said: “Kang Maocai died of illness, she lived alone with her son as a widow, how could I bear to drive her out of the palace gate when she begged in front of me? The old man who sewed and mended your military uniforms together back then.”

   “Besides, I watched Kang Duo grow up. He is a few years younger than Biaoer. Xiejue is just a child. Is there something hidden in this?”

Old Zhu closed his eyes irritably, this is the difficulty, if the person in the prison of the Ministry of Punishments is Kang Maocai, the Duke of Qi, it would be easy to say, but it is as great as Tang He, who can be punished by seizing the title and stick, at least first The effect of killing chickens and monkeys comes.

  If it was designed by someone, just find an opportunity to be promoted again in the future. If it is really greedy and lax, that is the punishment he deserves.

But it happened to be Kang Duo, with so many martial arts to watch, a teenage child, who was already descended from a Duke to a Marquis, if he was abolished in less than two days, wouldn’t it be quite chilling Well, it doesn’t sound good to spread the word, people in the world will only say that the Tian family is cool, but they don’t care about other things.

   Now that the military power is not yet secured, the nobles are still the foundation of Ming Dynasty. If they make everyone feel in danger and worry that the foundation they have worked so hard for will not be passed on after death, then they will go crazy.
