Zhu Xuan naturally knows how to control.
With Grandpa Huang's consent, he went back to the East Palace and continued to read the remaining memorials. After finishing everything, he asked Hou Xian to send them to Zhu Yuanzhang.
the next day.
Zhu Xuan still did not go to class in the main hall. We are still in the period of disaster relief. He skipped classes openly and did things related to disaster relief.
Even Kong Gongjian couldn't say anything, after all, Zhu Xuan really did something practical.
Zhu Xuan inspected the progress of the disaster relief. As the New Year is approaching, not long after the New Year, the ice and snow melt season will begin. In addition, the materials that should be shipped out have been shipped out long ago. Now the amount of materials sent from other places has increased. Appropriately reduced.
The number of things given away has also been reduced appropriately and is no longer as frequent as before.
After Zhu Xuan finished his inspection, he told Ji Wenjing about the horse market.
"This approach works."
After hearing the description, Ji Wenjing agreed: "If the horse market does better, it can bring many possibilities to His Highness. Moreover, His Highness has never used economic means. Whatever Annan does is good, it is the best." proof.”
With the precedent of Annan, the horse market seems to be a logical step and can be arranged directly.
The likelihood of success is also high.
"Come here, help me tell Shen Bin to come to Beijing." Zhu Xuan said.
Shen Bin is in Suzhou Mansion, so it is convenient for him to come to Yingtian.
It would be more appropriate to leave it to Shen Bin to communicate with others.
After discussing with Ji Wenjing, Ji Wenjing also thought it was feasible, so Zhu Xuan was ready to implement it and wrote two more letters to be sent to Hetao to Ping An and to the acting king Zhu Gui.
After finishing this, Zhu Xuan returned to the palace.
The morning of a new day.
Zhu Xuan was woken up by Yun Qi sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, and they went to court together.
Recently dealing with disaster relief matters, Zhu Yuanzhang has not brought Zhu Xuan to court for a long time. Today's court meeting is mainly to discuss various arrangements for the New Year.
The new year is approaching and it will be time to take a break.
Those officials have a lot to do and a lot of preparations for the New Year.
After arranging these, an official came forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have this report. During the disaster relief, we investigated so many corrupt officials. According to your Majesty's idea, we will kill them all! But not all officials are corrupt. , maybe some of them were implicated, or even Jin Yiwei made mistakes, and they were not corrupt officials, but they were found to be corrupt officials and were wrongfully accused, so it would be inappropriate to kill them all!"
Hearing what he just said, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly: "According to you, we should not investigate corrupt officials, but let them be corrupt and let them oppress the people?"
In his opinion, if you are greedy, you must kill.
Officials in the Ming Dynasty must protect each other.
If you find one, you can kill a lot of them.
Of course there are good officials, but not many, so it would be better to kill the wrong ones.
The official in front of me actually defended a corrupt official. Isn't this the best example of officials protecting each other?
"I don't dare!"
The official immediately knelt down and said.
"Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Xuan said: "What this gentleman said makes sense. Corrupt officials deserve to die, and the whole family should be killed. But it is not that there are no good officials. We can't kill good officials. I'm afraid it will chill the Ming Dynasty officials. Sun'er suggested that we should not let the Jin Yiwei Bring all the corrupt officials to Huitian, let the Third Division investigate, and oversee them with the Jin Yiwei. If there is really a problem, kill them. If there is no problem, let them go."
In fact, at the beginning, he also asked Jin Yiwei to kill corrupt officials when they found out there were no problems.
This approach is indeed a bit radical.
Not everyone is so greedy. If they accidentally kill a good official, it will damage their reputation.
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time, then nodded and said: "Then do as our dear grandson said."
Killing so many people is really not a good idea.
Sometimes, it's time to adapt and don't accidentally kill a good official.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Highness."
The official who asked the question shouted: "Your Highness is kind!"
The other officials exhaled slowly.
His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson is very similar to His Majesty, but he is not exactly the same as His Majesty. His Highness is still kind and virtuous, and today is the best example of this. In the future, the pressure of assisting the Emperor's Grandson will not be so great.
They were fortunate that His Majesty had chosen a good grandson.
"His Majesty."
At this time, Xia Yuanji came out of the queue and bowed: "I also have this report. I heard that Shanxi Ma Market is going to be reopened. Is there anything about this?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang made sure about the horse market yesterday, he spread the news.
Furthermore, those memorials had been read by cabinet officials in advance.
Hu Guang and others had read the memorial, and it was easy to spread it.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "This is what we intend to do. We will reopen the horse market and exchange what we have. Just like the good grandson controlled Annan, we will control the Tatar, Oara and other Monan herdsmen in the hands of our Ming Dynasty, and then through cultural assimilation, Let them become people of the Ming Dynasty. Although the situation in the north is not exactly the same as that in the south, the difference should not be very big."
"His Majesty."
Zhang Yan stepped forward and said: "Reopening the horse market with economic control is to encourage business. Since ancient times, the status of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce has been established. I think it is inappropriate to open trade."
Some civil servants are still very resistant to business.
They only have eyes for reading and farming. Business is not a serious industry and is not conducive to running the country.
"Master Zhang, do you know that most of your current salary and the Ming Dynasty's treasury are obtained through business?"
Zhu Xuan could not let him destroy business activities, and immediately retorted: "Without business, the Ming Dynasty would not be as prosperous as it is today. What ministers want money to do, the treasury may not be able to provide so much money, right?" Bar?"
Zhang Yan: "..."
He had nothing to say.
I have to admit that business can make people rich and bring benefits to Ming Dynasty.
However, according to the rules passed down by our ancestors, business is the last industry. Now the improvement of business status makes many retro ministers feel uncomfortable.
The development of business also has advantages and disadvantages.
With good control, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
If the control is not good, the world is full of chaos, and everyone is seeking profit. For the sake of profit, businessmen can take risks and do many illegal and disciplined things.
It's under good control so far, and there are no particularly serious problems.
"What I want to say is not against the horse market."
Xia Yuanji saw that Zhang Yan was being scolded, and immediately said: "I want to discuss with His Majesty the specific location of the horse market. Only by choosing a suitable place can we proceed better."
"Everything you said is right."
Zhu Yuanzhang listened and nodded in agreement.
The location of the horse market is still relatively important.
"Specifically, how should I choose?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said again.
Zhu Xuan suggested: "Grandpa Huang, why don't you bring up the map of our northern Ming Dynasty and determine the specific location together?"
The map of the north of the Ming Dynasty is extremely important.
There are descriptions of various mountain ranges and rivers on it. It is basically for military purposes. If you get this map during a war, you may have divine help.
Generally, the only person qualified to see this kind of map is Zhu Yuanzhang, and none of the officials below have seen it.
But today Zhu Xuan asked to see it, and Zhu Yuanzhang agreed after thinking about it. However, he would not take out the most specific and detailed map. Instead, he had someone pass a simplified version of the map to the hall.
