Zhu Yuanzhang cheered up, and the entire court was uplifted.

Many people are very confused, confused, and puzzled...... It stands to reason that Zhu Biao is Lao Zhu's favorite son, who poured countless efforts into it, and died suddenly, shouldn't the emperor be heartbroken? Shouldn't it be messy, shouldn't it be decadent and disappointed?

Lao Zhu did have such emotions, but he hated to come out in a short time, isn't Zhu Biao his own son?

There are even stranger ones.

The crown prince is dead.

Shouldn't you hesitate and think twice about choosing the prince again?

There are so many sons, who can become the real prince, shouldn't you old man think about it for a few years?

You don't think, you don't ask the ministers, you don't examine the performance of your sons, you just set up a grandson!

We're disappointed by what you're doing!

You must know how many people are ready to make waves, take the opportunity to bet, to support the prince they want, and even prepare to roll up their sleeves and kill them!

Historically, when a king reaches old age, there will be endless problems around the succession, there are two people fighting, there are three people fighting, and there are even nine dragons and ten dragons...... I don't know where so many real dragons came from, it's like they don't need money.

But Lao Zhu just didn't take the usual path, and held a funeral for Zhu Biao, and a month later, he decisively set up his grandson Zhu Yunwen, not giving all parties a chance to stir up the situation and fish in troubled waters.

No matter what Lao Zhu's choice was, Zhu Yuanzhang's decisiveness made Liu Chun throw himself to the ground.

It's true!

Only now did he understand why Lao Zhu was able to stand out among a group of heroes and have the last laugh.

The more difficult the problem, the more decisive it must be. Bad decisions are better than not decided.

Lao Zhu knows the truth very well.

"My grandfather started at the end of the micro-end, fought in the south and the north for decades, and governed the Ming Dynasty, and the most important experience is that he cannot be swayed by the people below. Seeing that there is no ......" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards around the main hall, and snorted coldly: "Don't look at them as if they are carved wood and clay sculptures, but who knows which way the gods and monsters lead." Every word and deed, every move in this palace, is watched by someone. Outside the palace, there are a lot of smart people who are pondering and speculating every day, trying to see through your mind. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, "Don't think that if you sit on that chair, you can be a monkey tricker, if you are not careful, you will let the monkey play tricks!" ”

Zhu Yunwen listened silently, just poured a cup of tea for Lao Zhu and handed it over with both hands.

"Imperial grandfather, drink tea."

Lao Zhu took it, took a sip with a smile, then put it down gently, took a copy from the side, and handed it to Zhu Yunwen.

From beginning to end, Zhu Yuanzhang's movements were gentle and his voice was gentle.

With Zhu Biao, he will speak harshly, and even scold, but in the face of his grandson, he can't be stern.

In Lao Zhu's eyes, Zhu Yunwen is thin and weak, with thin shoulders, at such an age, it is too difficult for him to carry the Ming Dynasty.

This old bone of his own, he must hold on, and of course, he must try his best to teach him the methods of governing the country and make him mature.

"You see, this is the strategy of the Yellow River disaster relief, the following report, the Yellow River burst, ask the imperial court to allocate food for disaster relief, in addition, the local officials, and raise a batch of food, do you think it is appropriate?"

Zhu Yunwen took a quick look, and after reading it, he nodded happily. "My grandson thinks it's very appropriate, the local officials not only raised food, but also gave clothes and medicine, and he really loves the people like a son, and he should be promoted."

Lao Zhu chuckled and didn't say anything.

At this time, the old eunuch came in, "Emperor, Lord Liu has sent a strategy to change the law." ”

"It's this kid here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Let him in." ”

Zhu Yunwen subconsciously stood up and greeted Liu Chun, who hurriedly rushed to the front, "The minister has seen His Highness." ”

Zhu Yunwen looked at the thick stack of manuscripts in Liu Chun's hand, and exclaimed, "Mr. has worked hard, why do you prepare so much?" ”

Liu Chun said: "The change of law involves all aspects, and if you don't think about it at all, there will be chaos, and the minister is just taking precautions." ”

Old Zhu probed, Liu Chun hurriedly handed it over, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at what Liu Chun wrote, and then squinted at the music next to the bed, "Take a look!" ”

Liu Chun took it and looked at it carefully, and after reading it, Liu Chun's face sank and was very solemn.

Lao Zhu noticed, "What? Do you think it's wrong? ”

Liu Chun said: "Your Majesty, the officials who think that this strategy should be killed!" ”

Zhu Yunwen was waiting beside him, and when he heard this, his hands trembled subconsciously and he almost dropped the teapot.

Lao Zhu snorted, "He said that if he kills, he should be killed?" Listen to why! ”

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly said: "Mr. is extremely intelligent, it must be reasonable, it is the grandson who is ignorant, please punish the emperor's grandfather!" With that, he lowered his head.

Lao Zhu knocked on the bed board and reproached: "You, you are still too honest, you are now the grandson, not an ordinary imperial grandson!" You have to learn from your father's kindness, but you can't learn to be cowardly! ”

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly nodded yes.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Liu Chun, "You kid don't talk without being shocking, let's be reasonable!" ”

Liu Chun didn't know that their ancestors and grandchildren had already talked about it, so he would have been more tactful if he knew it.

"Your Majesty's situation, I said that I borrowed grain from a large local family...... But he didn't write the details of how to borrow grain, and in the judgment of the minister, it should be to let the people use the land as collateral! ”

"What?"

Lao Zhu sat up in shock, "How do you know?" ”

"Your Majesty, if it is a loan from the yamen, you should also ask the imperial court to reduce the land endowment at the same time, so as to repay the debt. But now, he didn't mention the reduction and exemption of field endowments, there must be an article in it! ”

Lao Zhu frowned, "Liu Chun, then you judge, why don't you mention the reduction?" ”

"There should be two can, the first is to pay taxes for the completion of grain, so as not to affect the evaluation of the officials because of insufficient taxes, and the other is ...... It's hard to say this! ”

"What's not to say! Speak! ”

"In addition, it is deliberately to keep the land endowment, and wait until next year, the land endowment plus the interest on the loan will press the people together and force them to sell the land! By the way, you can also plant your notoriety to the imperial court! ”

"Oh!"

Lao Zhu was shocked, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.

"Paying back debts is justified, the imperial grain and national taxes, and the earth's righteousness, but that's it, the people lose their fields! That's hundreds of thousands! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang roared angrily: "Pass the decree, go and arrest people immediately......"

"Your Majesty, wait!"

Liu Chun said: "This is just the minister's speculation, there is no evidence yet, Your Majesty should still investigate." By the way, the minister heard that the king of Zhou had entered Beijing, and the place where the flood occurred was not far from the fief of His Royal Highness the king of Zhou, and he should know it. ”

Lao Zhu finally nodded, "Hmm...... How did you guess that, stinky boy? Tell me about it. ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is not difficult, during the minister's stay in Changsha, he checked the changes in the land over the years, at the beginning of the country, ninety percent of the land was in the hands of small farmers, and the landlords only accounted for more than one percent, why in 20 years, it reached more than thirty percent? The key lies in the two big floods in Changsha. The minister found that after each flood, the situation of land annexation would suddenly accelerate, and two floods, about 20% of the land fell into the hands of the landlord, plus the usual encroachment, it was logical. ”

"Oh!"

Lao Zhu suddenly realized that this truth is really not complicated at all, but why can Liu Chun explain it clearly, others can't think of it!

It is nothing more than that he has done his work carefully, and it is based on mathematical statistics, and the numbers are placed there, clear and unquestionable.

Lao Zhu thought for a while, "Take advantage of the fire to rob and take advantage of the danger of others." The magistrates and gentry colluded with each other, so it was! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "Okay, your kid is really attentive, not coarse, it just so happened that Java sent some spices, you can take some back." ”

In front of his grandson, Lao Zhu didn't want to take advantage of it in vain, and finally found out in his conscience.

But you can also appreciate some valuable things!

Spices!

Bullshit! I think it's whale droppings.

Liu Chun sneered, and sure enough, it was a box of stinky stuff. The old eunuch also told him, "My lord, this is the best ambergris, and when you get it, it is called an incense, and you can smell it ten steps away, and it is worth more than gold." ”

Liu Chun glanced at him, "What ambergris?" Tell you that this thing is a sperm whale after eating an octopus, the octopus's mouth can't digest it, and it forms a black ball in the intestines, and then vomits out, floats in the sea, and when it reaches the shore, it is picked up by someone, and this is it. ”

"Huh?"

The old eunuch was dumbfounded, "This, so to speak, yes, what kind of whale dung is it?" ”

"And, of course, the gastric juices, the intestinal juices, the octopus's mouth, and all the things that go down...... In short, the ingredients are quite rich. ”

"Don't say it, we beg you!"

The old eunuch was about to vomit, and he had a bottle of ambergris on his body, which was given to him by the people below, and he regarded it as a treasure, but he was not willing to use it.

Thankfully, it didn't work!

If it is really according to what Liu Chun said, it is not equivalent to touching the feces on the body?

Also, the ladies in the palace, who got the ambergris, all of them were treated as treasures, sprayed on their bodies, and showed off everywhere...... By the way, there are also the people from the Tai Hospital, it is said that ambergris is still a precious medicinal material!

It seems that His Majesty was unwell a few days ago, and there was ambergris in the medicine he prescribed!

If you let Your Majesty know what he eats, you won't be mad!

"My lord, this thing, is it really that?" The more the old eunuch thought about it, the more entangled he became.

Liu Chun chuckled: "It's not easy, just find a way to verify it." ”

"How do you verify that?"

"It's very simple, send a few boats out to sea, if you're lucky, you can catch a sperm whale, and then disembowel, or the truth will be revealed."

The old eunuch pondered, "My lord, there are really a lot of sea vessels in the Weaving Bureau at the moment, which are responsible for trade with the vassal countries. But let them go out to sea to catch that whale, the slave is afraid that no one will want to go! ”

Whales are considered by many people to be the king of the sea, and hunting whales will anger the sea.

When he was struggling, the eyes of a little eunuch next to him lit up, and when he heard the word "go to sea", his whole body trembled!

He mustered up his courage, "Ancestor, let the slave go, the slave and the maid are not afraid of anything!" ”
