First Prince of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 802

  Chapter 802 Waves

  Zhu Yuanzhang’s brows twitched slightly, he was so courageous, he didn’t expect Hu Weiyong to secretly bury someone next to the second child, there is no need to say what the plot is.

  Zhu Biao nodded slightly: “Since you know who it is, and you don’t tell your father and brother, what is your plan, just wait for the weather to change, and reap the benefits of the fisherman?”

   “Second brother definitely didn’t mean that!” Zhu Bing hurriedly explained for him, this statement is nothing more than that, it is really fatal, no matter how much the father loves his son, he will not tolerate betrayal.

“Countermeasures are very useful. Now that you know what’s going on, a mere woman, why can’t you deal with it? Hu Weiyong will definitely shoot himself in the foot in the end. Second brother, is that what you plan to do, right? .”

After speaking hoarsely and hurriedly, Zhu Xi couldn’t help covering his throat and coughing uncomfortablely. After all, the second child is also his brother. Although he is not too harmonious and not too fond of him, he never wants him to be really serious. what happened.

   What’s more, it’s not just about the second child alone. Although they usually fear the eldest brother, they are not afraid in their hearts. They just know that as long as the father is around, there will never be any death or life.

  But my father has always been a person who either does nothing or does nothing. If he doesn’t kill his heirs, he won’t kill him. But once he starts, he doesn’t care about killing a few more to ensure the stability of the country.

  And if the second child is gone, he will be promoted to the front and become the second son of the emperor, which is not a good thing. He is very satisfied with his current position and does not want any changes.

Zhu Yu didn’t say a word, as if he wanted to see what you would do to me. Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyebrows began to jump wildly again, his lips were unconsciously pressed together hard, and the short beard on his jaw seemed to be shaking slightly. flutter.

Zhu Biao stretched out his hand slightly to stop Zhu Bian who was about to speak: “It’s okay, second child, I didn’t hit you for this today, why are you unwilling and careful, I’m waiting for you, brother, left and right Just beat you a few more times.”

“It’s just that you have to remember that I don’t care about some things. If you are young and ignorant, thinking about brotherhood, I will never really do anything to you. But there are some things that I will never tolerate you, even if the emperor is here So, I say the same thing.”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn’t make a sound, looked at his second son lying on the bed, heaved a long sigh, turned around and left, as the saying goes, it is inevitable for a man to have an unvirtuous wife and a son who is not filial, but he takes the world to return his wife to a virtuous son, maybe God You can’t even see it, so send such a curse to him.

  After Lao Zhu left, Zhu Xi, who had been silent for a long time, finally said, “I don’t agree.”

   Zhu Yan was very happy when he heard the words. He pointed at him and couldn’t say a word. It was normal to be dissatisfied when he was a child.

   “If you want to die, don’t implicate the concubine mother!”

When Zhu Biao left, Zhu Biao sat on the chair tiredly: “What can you do? That is, regardless of the eldest son, you and I have competed fairly in front of the emperor and the officials since we were young, and you can beat me Is he the crown prince?”

   “If you are really talented, even if the emperor insists on making me his heir, as the second son of the emperor and the elder of the kings, you shouldn’t be able to gather even a little confidant at your age at this age.”

   “You are not that material, even if there is no me, it is not your turn in this world. The chances of the third and fourth are much greater than you. The most important thing for a person is self-knowledge, and the most important thing is to keep one’s duty.”

  The hall fell into silence. After a while, Zhu Biao got up and left. Before leaving, he wanted to say something, but he still didn’t say it. If people can really persuade them, how can there be so many injustices in the world.

  …

  In Zhongshu Province, Hu Weiyong asked with a look of surprise: “Your Highness really did it yourself?”

“It’s spread all over the place. All government offices should be talking about this right now.” Tu Jie laughed: “It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is really angry. I heard that if the Holy Majesty and the Empress hadn’t personally stopped me, I don’t know if I would fight him.” What is it like?”

   “His Royal Highness the King of Chu has already walked out of the city to Fengyang, but the King of Jin has not yet moved, so he must really be unable to get out of bed, otherwise the Holy Majesty will not tolerate it.”

  Hu Weiyong shook his head and laughed: “It is not surprising that the Holy Majesty did it himself, but His Highness did it, which is really unexpected. Haha, it is interesting and interesting, it should be explained.”

  Zhongshu Youcheng Chen Liang happened to enter with a jug of wine at this time: “I know Xiangye wants to drink at this time.”

   “He who knows me is a gentleman.” Hu Weiyong let Chen Liang take a seat. Since the lifting of the alcohol ban, the price of alcohol in Beijing has been very low.

   Just avoid some censors and others, but there are also rumors that the prince is not happy about this, and maybe there will be a ban in the near future, so let’s enjoy these days when you can.

  Chen Ning, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, raised his glass and signaled everyone to finish the drink, and then said: “Everyone has seen the determination of the Holy Majesty and His Highness. I am afraid that I have been busy waiting for this game again.”

  “A mountain is formed by accumulating soil, wind and rain blow up, abyss is formed by accumulating water, dragons are born, goodness is formed by accumulation, and gods are self-satisfied, and holy hearts are prepared. Therefore, if you don’t accumulate small steps, you won’t be able to reach thousands of miles. If you don’t accumulate small streams, you will not be able to form rivers and seas…

  Earthworms have no sharp claws and teeth, but strong bones and muscles. They feed on the soil and drink from the yellow springs. They use their hearts!

  Hu Weiyong read a passage of Xunzi’s “Encouraging Learning” with great interest, and the rest of them held their wine glasses and thought about it.

  I just unconsciously read the following sentence in my heart, “Crabs have six knees and two claws. They are not the caves of snakes and eels. There is no one to rely on. It is also impetuous.”

  …

  With the examples of the royal relatives and even the princes and princes, Daming has thoroughly understood from top to bottom that there is absolutely no room for relaxation in this matter, at least it seems that there is no such thing at present.

   In this way, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries stopped, and the development of industry and commerce without the strong intervention of external forces also turned from chaos to stability. The imperial court began to vigorously supervise the tax system to fill the treasury and maintain the stability of the issuance and promotion of banknotes.

  As the relationship between supply and demand changes, the value of cash crops increases, and many bold people begin to grow cotton, sugarcane and other crops on a large scale, especially in Jiangnan, Guangdong and Guangxi.

  For this, the imperial court could only force the common people to plant half a mu of mulberry, cotton, and hemp if they had five to ten acres of land, and double the planting only for those with more than ten acres of land. By analogy, the scale of ration production was guaranteed.

  At the same time, the crops planted in Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui and other prefectures were adjusted and controlled to prevent natural disasters and man-made disasters from causing the court to fall into a situation where there was no food to deploy.

   Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty pacified the Quartet. Except for the northern border, which had to be more careful, the rest of the frontier troops could devote themselves to the large-scale land reclamation army, at least to ensure a certain degree of self-sufficiency and reduce the supply pressure of the court.

  Zhu Biao also began to regulate and restrict the gradually formed business gangs, and forced them to stabilize food prices, not to hoard them, and suppressed their profit-seeking greed with power.

  Some things can be left to them to make a profit, but like grain, rice, oil and salt, they must not fluctuate too much. This is the basis of order, and it is up to them whether they are willing or not.

  If you really don’t want to, if you really don’t want to cooperate, then kill and eat meat and replace them. At this time, there is no room for merchants to speak.

  …

  So it was another year. In the seventh year of Hongwu, a large-scale rebellion broke out in Yunnan and Guizhou. Not only the Tusi of Guizhou, the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty in Yunnan and the Dali family participated, but also the secret intervention of various countries in Southeast Asia.

  Zhu Biao looked at the military report sent by Mu Ying and told Quan Xu who was beside him: “Let the Ministry of Rites send people to those vassal kingdoms to take a look at the dancing joy, and destroy the country in the future.”

  Quan Xu bowed to promise, Zhu Biao got up and said to Lao Zhu who was looking at the topographical map of Yunnan and Guizhou: “Father, Ming Sheng has also submitted the request for war memorials, why not allow him to send troops to help Brother Mu Ying suppress the rebellion.”

   “No.” Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, “Yang Siyi immigrated to Guizhou to change his species. Now there are many Yunnan-Guizhou people who have been forcibly relocated in Sichuan. They must also have resentment in their hearts, and they cannot be given this opportunity.”
