Zhu Biao actually didn't care whether they were oppressed or not. In the feudal imperial society and the pyramid-like class power structure, no one was suffering. Unless he became the emperor, everyone was oppressed.
If the Jiang household registration really does more good than harm to the Ming Dynasty, then Zhu Biao will continue to maintain it, and at most it will improve their treatment conditions so that they can still live.
However, judging from the current situation, craftsmen are extremely lacking in motivation and sense of responsibility when making various items for the government, including weapons, which often results in an alarming waste of materials because the craftsmen have no idea or desire to improve production efficiency. .
It is understandable that products made by independent craftsmen are completely different from products made by free labor for the court.
That is to say, the quality of Tianjia's imperial products can be guaranteed. This guarantee is, firstly, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen can be used by the royal family. Needless to say, the second is that the eunuchs in charge use severe punishments to supervise the craftsmen to ensure such high quality. quality.
Although this system of solidified class occupations guarantees the most basic production efficiency, in the long run it will inevitably completely stifle the creativity and imagination of craftsmen. It is undoubtedly a backward system.
Zhu Biao took a sip of the tea offered by the young eunuch. However, according to the current situation, it was impossible to reform the craftsmen's households in one go, especially those involving ordnance.
If the entire manufacturing industry is not fully prepared, it will fall into a state of disorder and disorganization, which will cause huge troubles and truly affect the whole body.
However, some craftsmen with lighter functions and less impact can make gradual adjustments and change their craftsman status to civilian status. There is no need to worry that the craftsmen will engage in other industries after declassification. After all, craftsmen with craftsmanship can obtain The money and grain are still much higher than those of ordinary farming people.
After having an idea in mind, he wrote down his thoughts, and then asked the young eunuch to send these memorials to Lao Zhu Yue. The household registration matter would never be implemented without the emperor's nod.
Zhu Biao silently prepared his words in his mind to prepare for his father's inquiry. Lao Zhu was a more traditional person and did not like to change the rules.
But he didn't expect that after his father read it, he just looked up at himself, then marked it with his imperial pen, and then immersed himself in reviewing other memorials.
The pile of memorials and Zhu Biao returned to the prince's eucalyptus. Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and added a few more words, and then ordered the young eunuch to send them to Zhongshu Province immediately.
Such a big matter has to be discussed at court tomorrow, but with the Emperor Zhu Pi's own handwriting, if he really wants to implement it, no one can stop it, and the most it can do is give advice.
Any policy, no matter how beneficial it is to the country and the people, will touch the interests of certain specific groups. It is not surprising that there will be opposition, especially how much effort the craftsman household system has saved the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Works, and how much it has brought to the officials above and below them. benefit.

Guangdong Leizhou Guards reported that Leizhou civilian prince Yingyin and pirate Deng Shu and others rebelled and rebelled. Leizhou Guards commander Zhu Yong led his troops to kill them. The remaining party members escaped into the sea. Yongfu led the boat division to hunt down and capture the pirate Deng Nu and two others. One hundred and thirty-one people, the leader of whom was found on the seashore, is reported above.
There were hundreds of people in attendance. Zhu Biao frowned and approved the military governor's office to discuss merits and rewards. Then he went to Guangdong to inspect the place to see if there were officials forcing the people to rebel, or whether the guards were suspected of killing good people and taking merit.
The barbarian bandits in the Guiyang prefectures of Yongdao stole the order. Lu Ling, the commander of Jinwu's right guard, asked him to lead his troops to attack them. Zhu Biao replied: "The barbarians have become unruly and are causing unrest. I now order you to attack them. The military affairs should be based on benevolence." The original purpose is to use power, and it is stated that orders cannot be tolerated. If the order is clear, the people will be motivated and tolerant, and the people will be lazy. Although the people with lofty ideals have little motivation, they will be helped. Even if the people's ambitions are lazy, they will not be tolerated. The benevolent people are not tolerant, and the powerful people are not tolerant. Kill, defeat benevolence to appease the people, use power to invigorate the brigade, and there will be few that cannot be defeated!"
The Kaifeng Prefecture reported that Chen Liu, a sudden rainstorm in Lanyang County, overflowed and damaged the crops... He reduced and exempted the people's taxes, and ordered the Kaifeng Prefecture to open warehouses to raise grain for the people.
The pro-military captain's office reported that in the first ten days of the month, the Ministry of Finance transported 12,400 shi of grain to the Liaodong Guard Station. It was said that a storm capsized more than 40 boats, floated more than 4,700 shi of rice, and drowned 700 officers and soldiers. There were 17 people and more than 40 horses. The court ordered a minister to show generous sympathy to the deceased's home.
After detailed investigation, it was found that his words were actually false. It was Zhou Jie, a doctor in the Ministry of household affairs, and Yang Zhuo, the left capital of water transportation, who secretly sank a grain ship and deliberately sank a grain ship, embezzled grain and horse pensions, drowned more than a hundred officers and soldiers, and bullied the superiors. Your Majesty is blocking the way, so that the ambition of the deceased is not in vain, and his family will not be able to benefit from it. I respectfully ask the Holy Judge to set a warning for others!
Zhu Biao's face turned red with anger. He had an impression of this incident. He originally thought it was a natural or man-made disaster, and he asked the palace to provide some subsidies. Unexpectedly, it was a stupid person who was greedy.
Are you really bullying me?
He ordered the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment to verify, and if it was proved to be true, there would be no need to report it again. Zhou Jie, a doctor in the household department, and Yang Zhuolingchi, the left capital of water transportation, were executed at the execution ground in the center of Beijing. All the members of the family, except those who were young and ignorant, were executed.
It is only natural to share wealth and adversity together.
It is good to be lenient, but if the guilty are not punished, it is called weak and can be bullied, which is not the behavior of a king.
Zhu Biao calmed down. It is best to keep the emotion of one thing in this one thing. If it is brought to the next thing, it may be biased.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "Biao'er, Tang He has already set out to march. Please bring that Duan family woman into the palace as soon as possible."
Zhu Biao responded: "Then let's do it tomorrow. Can we register her as a good lady first?"
"It's suitable, that's all."
Zhu Biao glanced at Liu Jin, who had just returned. Liu Jin immediately bowed and retreated. He had to return to the East Palace immediately to report to the Crown Princess. This arrangement of the concubine ceremony was the duty of a head wife.
Time is running out, but Duan Qiangna is expected to have no objections. The Ming Dynasty has launched its troops in Yunnan, attacking one country at a time, and there will be no one who cannot be defeated. If she really wants to protect her family's blood relatives, she will understand and quickly enter. The most important thing is to serve the prince in the East Palace.
If it is too late and the Duan family is wiped out by Tang He, let alone the position of a good lady of the fourth rank, it is a question of whether she can be qualified to enter the palace. If she can use herself to build a bridge to the sky for the Duan family, It means that she can live up to the wealth and honor bestowed by her family in the past ten or twenty years in her boudoir.
There was no words after that. The two men had a meal in the meantime, and then continued to immerse themselves in reviewing the memorials. Until the evening, Lao Zhu rushed his son back to rest, while he continued to review the important memorials that he had accumulated.
Zhu Biao didn't refuse. His father's physical fitness was one of the best among the emperors of all dynasties. He was as solid as steel and cast as iron. He couldn't compare with him, and his strength was reduced to ashes.
However, he did not go back to the East Palace to rest. He moved his somewhat stiff limbs to a large extent. He walked through Fengtian Gate and stopped at the Neiwulong Bridge. The little eunuch who was accompanying him hurriedly went to the bridge to get a bag full of smooth bluestones. Zi'er's big bowl.
Any slaves serving in front of the East Palace must come here to find their way. Otherwise, when the prince is in a mood and the father-in-laws are not accompanying him on errands, how can he be asked to go down and pick up the stones himself?
"Winter~"
"Pudong~"
He threw a few coins into the distance with his hand. Listening to the crisp sound, he felt a lot more relaxed: "Go and tell the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Punishment to come here to see me."
"promise."
After passing the Inner Wulong Bridge, there is the Meridian Gate, and the Liubu Yamen is not far away. As soon as Zhu Biao lost two bowls of stones, the two ministers came hand in hand.
"I will pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness Qianqiu."
"Well, you two dear ladies, please forgive me."
Zhu Biao clapped his hands and handed the bowl to the young eunuch on the side, then turned to face the two important ministers and said, "Qing Zhao, how is the discussion with the Ministry of Household regarding the wine tax going?"
"Your Highness, in the past six months since the Liquor Ban was lifted, the rich and powerful have been brewing wine to excess, and the poor have been frugal in their efforts to make profits, and have been wasting food. Drought and floods have not yet been determined in many places. If the harvest is not harvested, the people who are in trouble will have no food left. If you make a living, there will be chaos, and wine-making should be strictly controlled and heavily taxed!"
