It doesn't matter if we don't investigate. If we continue to investigate, it will almost kill Zhu Yuanzhang.
"You are a traitor, you are a traitor!!!"
When the birds outside Fengtian Palace heard this roar, they were so frightened that they hurriedly fluttered their wings and left. The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs couldn't help but tremble.
Which prince caused trouble again?
Jin Yiwei did not find out among the feudal lords about the private printing of counterfeit banknotes.
However, they found out the bastard things about these children, and everything made Lao Zhu's thirty-year-old throat itchy.
"Ahem."
Lao Zhu held Jin Yiwei's memorial in his hand, and his beard almost stood up in anger.
"The second bastard, I asked him to be more frugal and more frugal. It would be better for him to build a palace, lead people to have fun all day long, and abuse his own princess."
That's okay, it's not the first day that I know these things.
Lao Zhu clutched his chest: "There is also this third child who is not obedient. We told him to treat his cooks better and be more polite, but he was fine and didn't listen to a word."
That’s it, it’s just a beating, no one was killed at all.
Seeing that he was so angry, Queen Ma hurriedly stepped forward to pat her husband on the back, but Lao Zhu waved his hand to stop him: "The most irritating thing is the traitor Lao Wu."
"Sister, you said that when Lao Wu was a child, although his kung fu was not as good as that of his brothers, he was pretty good at reading and was a well-behaved child."
This is his and his sister's youngest son. It would be a lie to say that he never felt pain when he was a child.
"But look, look at all the bastard things he's doing now?"
"He is so majestic as the king of Zhou. He can commandeer the imperial court's post ships and horses at will."
As an emperor, I would not do this even if there is no urgent matter.
"This bastard even forcibly married an already engaged woman into the house as a concubine. What does he think he is? Our eldest grandson doesn't even have this right."
As for the little girl from the Gu family, wouldn’t his eldest grandson have to accept his fate after worrying about her for so long?
"They also conscripted criminal prisoners into the palace as slaves. The most egregious thing is that the captain of the Royal Palace's Yiwei Department just accidentally provoked this bastard, and it was not a big crime. He actually shot him with one arrow."
The school captain is also an official, and he has a high rank.
Can you kill me casually?
"Sister, our heart hurts a little."
Lao Zhu only talked about the bastard things he had done with the sons born to Queen Ma, but he hadn't talked about the remaining evil deeds.
"Your Majesty, I feel the same way."
This son is the son of two people, not the son of the emperor alone.
If the child fails to live up to expectations, the father's face will be dull, and the mother will naturally be ashamed.
"These bastards are really outrageous. I think they should be severely punished and made aware of their mistakes."
Empress Ma felt that if she continued to indulge, wouldn't she be causing trouble for her elder brother?
"Punishment is natural." Lao Zhu agreed and looked at his wife tenderly: "Mother-in-law, we will listen to you no matter what punishment you say."
His sister is a good girl, and she can be impartial towards her own children.
"Let me see, call them all back, and give them all a hundred blows first."
Empress Ma became furious and said directly: "This old man is hopeless. Let's just demote him to a commoner and stay in the capital to see the consequences."
If his performance is okay, forgive him and restore him to the position of prince. If his performance is not good, just stay in the capital for the rest of his life.
Anyway, the boss is a good brother and will never treat his brothers badly.
Lao Zhu: "...The child is still young, so there is no need to be so strict."
How can anyone be easily dismissed as a commoner?
This is not her biological mother, even her stepmother is not so cruel.
Seeing his wife glaring at him, Lao Zhu quickly picked up the tea cup to hide his guilt.
"In two days, when the business of opening the sea is over, we will call all these evil deeds to Hui Tianlai. We will teach them a lesson and keep them safe so that they will not dare to do it again."
It was not the first day that the emperor protected the calf. Empress Ma glared at him and said nothing, but made up her mind to discuss it with the great eldest son.
This time, no matter what, I have to let a few brats know how to be afraid.
The various preparations for the opening of the sea were carried out in an orderly manner for more than three months, and then the preliminary and systematic planning was completed.
Because of the shipbuilding technology of the Song Dynasty, all kinds of merchant ships were built very quickly.
If merchants need to use the merchant ships of the imperial court, they must come to the Municipal Shipping Department to pay the ship rental fee based on the size of the ship and the shipping time.
Regarding taxes, the Ministry of Household Affairs and Lao Zhu discussed and discussed, changed and changed, and finally decided to divide the taxes into two major categories.
The first category is the court transit tax, which is charged as long as your goods transit through the court. The second category is the consumption tax on imported and exported goods.
If merchants want their goods to cross the border, they must first pay a unified transit tax. Here, it is only 2 out of 10, which is not particularly high.
Then you need to pay consumption tax. This tax will be based on your items. The better the items, the higher you pay and the higher the commission.
When foreigners come to Ming Dynasty to sell things, they have to look at what they are selling.
If it is what Ming Dynasty needs, then encourage imports and reduce taxes.
If it is not particularly needed, it will compete with local merchants in Ming Dynasty.
Then raise the tax high to prevent local businessmen from being affected and affecting our own business.
There are also detailed classifications covering all trade goods that can be exported to the sea.
There are also detailed descriptions of wrought iron, copperware, war horses, books, firearms, etc. that cannot be sold, and regulations prohibit smuggling of items if found.
All of them were considered guilty of collaborating with the enemy, and these documents were to be posted in a conspicuous place at the port.
Every merchant coming in and out must read the full text before leaving (entering) the port, lest they then say that the court is killing innocent people indiscriminately.
The last one is the ship tax. Your ships dock in our ports, occupy our coast, and use our manpower, material resources, and lighthouses.
Then you will definitely have to pay tax, which is also fixed, tax is one per fifteen.
The taxes of 7,788 and 88 are added together. Although this tax is not low, the businessmen are still gearing up and excited.
They actively registered with the Municipal Shipping Department of Yuequan Port and were willing to be among the first caravans to go to sea.
Gu Chen's uncle Su Bozhou was the first to sign up enthusiastically.
Not to mention the officials in various departments. Official positions in small places are also an iron rice bowl.
What's more, judging from the emperor's attention to it, it's hard to say what the status of these divisions will be in the future.
During this time, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials were all busy, and the Ministry of War and Industry were not idle.
Because the Battle of Liao will be fought next year, and warships that can sail to the sun must be built in advance.
In short, the ministers were very busy.
Gu Chen also had no time to talk to his wife and children for more than ten days in a row, let alone go home and have a hot meal.
He was busy in the Yamen that day, but his wife sent someone to call him back in a hurry.
He had no choice but to say hello to his colleagues and hurried home.
When he got home, Gu Chen found that his eldest daughter was not at home. After asking, she found out that she had gone to Wei Guofu to find the third girl of the Xu family.
"Well, when did this girl become friends with Miss Xu San?"
Gu Chen thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out. Xu Miaojin was only six years old, but his girl was already ten years old.
Are there any topics for fourth-grade children and first-grade children?
"Probably because of the dick."
Su Wanying waved her round fan gently and said in a soft tone: "Young girl is worried about her younger brother, so she often brings food to her younger brother. If we go back and forth, we'll get used to each other."
The siblings usually fight at home, but in the end they still miss each other.
"Oh, Miss Xu San is a tough girl. If she can teach our daughter some self-defense skills, we girls will be well off."
Gu Chen's little abacus was going on. The girl had to make her father angry. Not everyone could learn Wei Guogong's skills.
What you learn is what you earn.
"By the way, wife, why did you ask me to come back?"
Su Wanying snorted coldly, stood up and took a letter from her desk.
"My husband, don't worry about whether our girl suffers a loss or not. Take a look at this first and see the good things your people have done."
