Although there were rumors that the ministers mentioned the matter of establishing a prince in front of the imperial court, Zhu Youxiao did not doubt his ministers and suspected that they would spread the matters discussed in the political hall without authorization.
Because he believed that his ministers were not so stupid.
Although paper media, represented by newspapers, was still a new thing in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao was no stranger to the media's methods of fabricating news for certain purposes.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not go to war, but still chose to meet with his ministers to discuss the matter.
As soon as Bi Ziyan and other assistant ministers arrived, Zhu Youxiao pinched the beard at the corner of his mouth and said: "You must have heard the rumors in the market. It is as expected. There are restless people, really... I want to stage a battle over the foundation of the country! However, you don’t need to persuade me to establish the foundation of the country early to reassure people. I am not as good-tempered as the temple. If you really dare to pursue your own selfish interests and ignore the monarchy, I don’t care what you are. who!"
"yes!"
The ministers replied.
Then, Bi Ziyan said first: "Your Majesty, you are wise! The purpose of those who instigated this rumor is actually to restrict the power of the monarch, because once the country is established, the power of the emperor can be divided, and he can legitimately do so in the name of the future prince. It’s not conducive to today’s emperor!”
"I am not greedy for power, but I am not willing to let the imperial power be stolen by these people with ulterior motives!"
Zhu Youxiao replied, and then said: "I know, because of me, the powerful and powerful people in our Ming Dynasty can't bully the Han people wantonly, can't control the government, and have to share the same sins with the common people. Fourthly, in the romantic world like Fireworks and Willow Lane, They don’t have everything, so they can’t spend money like water or be arrogant and licentious. Fifth, they have to be criticized by more and more common people who have read and become sensible, so that sometimes they are refuted as having no dignity and decency!
Now, they either leave the Ming Dynasty and go to Port Arthur, Edo, or Seoul to settle down, or they try to force the Ming Dynasty back to the old days when there was a distinction between high and low! Therefore, now I am still thinking of going against me through the establishment of the foundation of the country. "
"But the problem is that there are many scholars in the Ming Dynasty, especially a large number of people from poor backgrounds. But because of His Majesty's new civilian education, more and more scholars have become sensible. It is impossible for them to go back to that era. Nowadays, there are so many Jinshi We can only wait until the selection of officials, so we cannot let the Jinshi who have not yet become officials accept being inferior to those who have already become officials."
Liu Hongxun said.
"As Liu Gong said, this is indeed impossible, but those with ulterior motives also understand this truth, so they have been advocating reducing the number of Jinshi and the number of candidates, and advocating that scholars should be lacking rather than excessive. They say that many Jinshi today are unqualified. They also use the reason that "the dynasty has not produced great figures like Xin Bo (Wang Yangming) and Yang Shen for a long time" as an excuse to question the education that the court is currently doing to open up the people's wisdom, and they openly and secretly hope that the court will use the technique of weakening the people!"
Zhu Xieyuan replied.
"We are afraid that there are, but they are not willing to admit that some people are ours."
Zhu Youxiao sneered and replied with a sneer, then waved his hand and said: "Ignore these rumors, hit the snake seven inches away, they make me unhappy, and I also make their life difficult!"
"Your Majesty means to control their migration?"
Bi Ziyan asked.
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Yuan Fu really knows what I mean!"
With that said, Zhu Youxiao said: "The Ming Dynasty is no longer what it used to be. Many scholars and people are no longer so easy to deceive. They cannot make waves in China, but we must prevent them from betraying the country and taking a large amount of money and technology to North Korea and other countries. Go to Japan, even go to Western countries, and even target the Ming Dynasty. What is happening in Luzon Island is proof!
It is inconvenient for me to interfere in the affairs of foreign vassals, but people of this dynasty can never imagine making money from the court and the people in China, and then contributing to others after being trained by the court! "
"Password! According to the statistics of Dongchang, all banks will register those with higher savings and higher value of property, including royal family members, gentry and powerful people, as well as wealthy businessmen. If you want to go to sea, you must go eastward. If you apply for a factory, if you go to sea without authorization or even fail to return after a year, it will be directly regarded as treason, your savings will be frozen, and your family property will be confiscated! Only in the mainland of Ming Dynasty, will I recognize your right to private property!"
Zhu Youxiao said.
"Yes! However, Your Majesty, if this is the case, they will only be more active in establishing the foundation of the country. After all, for these selfish people, if they cannot move to another country, they can only hope to change their emperor in the future."
Bi Ziyan replied.
"It doesn't matter, how can I let them get what they want?"
Zhu Youxiao said with a sneer.
Then, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Anyone who has the ability to build a country should stay in the country."
"According to the order."
At present, Wei Zhongxian has long since passed away. Although he is not as powerful as in history, he was able to die well in this life.
Han Zanzhou was the admiral of Dongchang who succeeded him.
On this day a few months later, Han Zanzhou came to Zhu Youxiao and reported to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, the results of the investigation have come out. According to your will, all the family properties, including the royal family, have been counted. .”
"Very good, follow this investigation immediately!"
So it didn't take long for restrictions on wealthy people to move overseas.
On this day, just before Li Maofang, the former Zhejiang chief envoy to the left, was preparing to move his family to Nagasaki, he was stopped by the Dongchang official stationed here at the Ningbo Shipping Department: "Li Fangbo, may I ask why you moved your family to sea?" ?”
Li Maofang couldn't say that her family was going to settle in Nagasaki, so she lied and said, "Of course it's a trip!"
"You can travel, but please register. According to the investigation, the noble family has a lot of property. If you don't come back for a year, the court will directly confiscate your property and seal the savings in the bank."
The official from the East Factory replied.
"you!"
Li Maofang was furious, but couldn't say anything at the moment. He just said: "In that case, we won't go out."
Therefore, Li Maofang had no choice but to go home.
Coincidentally, many wealthy people who wanted to move overseas had to stay in China because of Zhu Youxiao's latest decree.
And this naturally caused a big stir.
"We can only go out and live happily, but we can't live outside, which means we can only stay in the middle-earth and let the imperial court slaughter us! This is simply unacceptable!"
Dai Ming, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, said that he also expressed his views on this to Zhang Tianzhi and Wang Chongjian at this time.
"Your Majesty is your Majesty after all. He only allows us to make a fortune in the Ming Dynasty, but we are not allowed to spend the wealth we made in the Ming Dynasty to foreign countries! In this case, we can only find ways to transform the Ming Dynasty and make it become the Ming Dynasty in our minds. !”
Wang Chongjian spoke first.
Zhang Tianzhi also stood up: "Now we can only ask your Majesty to decide on the foundation of the country as soon as possible!"
