"Little grandson, you are back."
After returning from outside the city, Zhu Ming asked Liu Jin to go back to the side courtyard alone, and then went to Daming Palace to meet the saint.
Now seeing Zhu Ming coming back from the Daming Palace, he rushed to greet him.
"Seeing how happy the little grandson is, I'm afraid things are done."
Seeing the smile on Zhu Ming's face, Liu Jin also laughed.
Although he didn't know what Zhu Ming was going to do, he had a vague feeling that it was a big deal.
"Well, it's half of it."
Zhu Ming just nodded, this was only the first step.
As long as Zhu Yuanzhang is convinced, the matter of land and food will be settled.
Just to feed the people and free them from farming is just the beginning.
What he wanted was for the industrial revolution to begin in the Ming Dynasty.
"half?"
Seeing Zhu Ming smiling so happily, Liu Jin thought he had succeeded.
Now I heard Zhu Ming say that it was only half done, and I was stunned again.
"Don't talk about this, just rest. Today is too tiring."
Zhu Ming waved his hand and said no more.
He knows the important matters of his family and country and cannot be impatient.
The rest will have to wait until this policy is implemented.
What we need to do now is to make some preparations first.
"Then I'll prepare a bath for the emperor and grandson. Please wait!"
Zhu Ming didn't say anything, but Liu Jin wisely kept his mouth shut.
His ability to climb to this position relies on his knowledge and interest, and he naturally knows what to ask and what not to ask.
He left the city early in the morning and arrived at Wang Yuanwai's place at noon. If Zhu Ming returned from the Daming Palace, it would already be dark.
"Um."
Zhu Ming just responded.
After washing up, Zhu Ming locked himself in the room again.
When Liu Jin saw this, he also knew that Zhu Ming was probably thinking about those big things again, and he was not a slave who could get involved, so he didn't bother him anymore.
Zhu Ming sat at the desk, holding a brush just dipped in ink in his hand. After thinking for a long time, he started drawing on the paper.
It is not enough for the people to have enough to eat. It is also necessary to write down all the knowledge in his mind so that the liberated people can read.
The next step for him is to enlighten his mind.
From ancient times to the present, reading has been the privilege of a few people, and only the rich can afford books.
Even Song Lian, the great scholar next to Lao Zhu, could only borrow books from those who had books and copy them at first.
It was not until Zhu Ming's modern era that compulsory education was promoted, so that everyone could learn and study.
This is not an easy task. The strictures of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism have been deeply ingrained since the Song Dynasty.
"This is much more difficult than writing essays before."
Zhu Ming thought hard all night and only wrote a few articles.
Early the next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to convey all the words Zhu Ming said to him.
Although there were many objections from the officials, after all, many of their families held large amounts of land.
If this policy continues to be implemented, they will also suffer a lot.
It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang was resolute. He was threatened by Hu Weiyong's major cases, but he didn't dare to oppose too hard.
With no choice but to compromise, we had to designate some areas first to test the waters of this policy.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not force him again. After all, this kind of thing had never happened before.
It’s okay to try it first.
"Mr. Qitai, are you telling the truth?"
Sitting in the East Palace, Mrs. Lu looked at Qi Tai anxiously, her brows knitted together, and her still charming face was full of disbelief.
"Yes, this move is unprecedented."
Qi Tai responded affirmatively, but his tone was full of admiration.
In order not to increase the burden on the people, he could forcefully confront the powerful general Lan Yu at the dinner party, thinking that he could bear the word "love the people like a son".
But he never thought that there would be a way to clear the land and control food prices so that the people could have enough to eat more easily.
Regarding this, he was ashamed of himself.
"This is Zhu Ming."
After learning that this was indeed Zhu Ming's handiwork, Mrs. Lu was even more filled with hatred.
The more outstanding Zhu Ming's performance is with Zhu Yuanzhang, the greater the probability that Zhu Yunwen will fall out of favor.
If this continues, his threat to Zhu Yunwen will become greater and greater.
"The perspective of the emperor and his grandson is really refreshing for readers like me."
Qi Tai, however, seemed not to notice Lu's expression, smiling and praising Zhu Ming's courage.
"In your opinion, sir, is this a good or bad move?"
Hearing Qi Tai's voice, Lu quickly calmed down her emotions, laughed dryly, and began to ask Qi Tai's opinion.
"this……"
When asked by Lu, Qi Tai hesitated. After thinking for a while, he raised his head and shook his head: "The little emperor's behavior has never been used by anyone in the history books. Qi Tai has little talent and knowledge and dare not make any judgments." .”
With such an earth-shattering move, Qi Tai did not dare to say what the final result would be.
However, according to his personal opinion, after the turmoil, it should be something that benefits the country and the people.
So after Qi Tai thought for a moment, he looked at Lu again and said, "In Qi Tai's opinion, this move will benefit the common people and harm the wealthy businessmen. In the long run, it will benefit the country and the people."
Seeing that Qi Tai, a gentleman he invited, was optimistic about Zhu Ming's idea, Lu became even more angry.
"only……"
Qitai said, changing the subject, but hesitated again.
"Just what?"
Lu asked anxiously.
Although she is very scheming, she is not as far-sighted as Qi Tai when it comes to governing the country.
She must not let Zhu Ming succeed, otherwise Yunwen would really be at a disadvantage.
This Zhu Ming must be the illegitimate son who should have been killed by him.
Zhu Yuanzhang should already know this.
If Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he really gave Zhu Ming this title, how could Yun Wen defeat him?
"In the long run, this policy is indeed beneficial to the people, but now the landlords still have hundreds or dozens of servants and financial resources."
As for those rich people, Qitai does not think that they will give up their land obediently.
"If these people take the lead in making trouble, the people may not be able to cope with it."
The biggest question now is whether the common people can fight against some rich people.
If we can't fight, and there are many people in the court who oppose it, this national policy will not be implemented.
It wasn't until Qitai pointed out the shortcomings of these policies that Lu relaxed a little.
As long as you know where the weaknesses are, it will be easy to deal with.
I still have some relatives who can be used just in time.
"As expected of Master Qitai, his eyes are venomous, which is beyond the comparison of a woman like me."
She smiled dryly at Qi Tai a few more times, but Qi Tai was confused.
