"It may take three years, or it may take five years, until the country's strength is restored, then Your Majesty can flex his muscles and make a difference."
As soon as Jian Yi finished speaking, Xia Yuanji, who was in charge of money, immediately agreed.
"Your Majesty, I think this is indeed the case."
"As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, I can issue military orders to His Majesty here. After five years, the people's livelihood will be restored, money and food will fill the national treasury, and we will have enough troops and food."
"If I don't have this ability, please ask your Majesty to chop off my head as a warning to others."
Look, this one singing together shows the strength of the team.
It seems that when you are in the arena, you have to stick together to keep warm.
Even if you are the most capable and have the strongest backing, you will still be weak if you fight alone.
Zhu Di finally smiled with satisfaction after hearing the additional remarks from the two important ministers.
He stroked his beard, turned his head and snorted at Xu Qin, "Xu Aiqing, you
Is that what you mean too? "
Xu Qin was not stupid, he quickly cupped his hands and said:
"Reporting to your majesty, that's what Wei Chen means, but Wei Chen is far less capable and sincere than the two ministers."
Zhu Di smiled when he heard this, "You are not capable enough, Lao Cheng, because you are still young and have plenty of time to practice hard."
This is still like human speech.
Like an uncle teaching his nephew.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Di stood up, walked to the civil and military ministers with his hands behind his back, and said loudly:
"My lords, do you have any suggestions for a truce to rest and restore people's livelihood?"
As soon as these words came out, the generals stared at him with big eyes and small eyes, while the civil servants were thinking about how to say it so as not to offend the emperor.
Xia Yuanji was still honest and said:
"Your Majesty, I believe that there are several major events coming up for the imperial court that require detailed arrangements."
"Xia Aiqing, it doesn't matter." Zhu Di was very pleased and raised his hand to encourage him.
"First, in the past four years, Jianwen was ignorant and was deceived by traitors and changed Taizu's old system. These must be restored as soon as possible."
“Secondly, various prefectures in Shandong Province, Beiping Prefecture, Baoding Prefecture, Xuanfu Prefecture, and Nanzhili Prefecture have suffered from military disasters for several years. Agricultural facilities have been seriously damaged, farmland crop management has suffered heavy losses, and people have been lost. It is necessary to restore people’s livelihood as soon as possible and arrest bandits. "
"My advice is to reduce taxes and reduce local corvee as appropriate in the above-mentioned areas."
"..."
Xia Yuanji covered everything and spoke in great detail. He was worthy of being the most dazzling official minister of the Yongle Dynasty.
No wonder historical records record that before his death, Zhu Di did not mention the prince Zhu Gaochi, but he remembered one minister, Xia Yuanji.
Xu Qin saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
Zhu Di looked serious after hearing this, "What Xia Aiqing said is timely. After the war, there was a serious loss of officials in various places. Tax reductions and exemptions are all handled by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs."
When the emperor called their names, Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji immediately stood out and bowed in agreement.
"I obey the order."
"Also, in the later period of Jianwen, he went to various places to recruit soldiers. The Ministry of War immediately disbanded and let them return to their hometowns to farm. Don't slack off."
"I obey the decree."
Rujun came out and promised.
"My lords, although Fengtian Jingnan was successful, the subsequent governance will be much more difficult than fighting. Now is not the time to enjoy the glory and wealth."
"If anyone indulges his generals, corrupts national laws, and bullies the people, I will punish him severely and will never tolerate him."
Having said this, Zhu Di glanced at the ministers present with his hawk-like eyes and said sternly:
"I have said so much, but in the final analysis, I want you to perform your duties, everyone should be busy, and don't just think about fine wine, women, and play with things."
When he said the last sentence, he stared fiercely at Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and other generals.
When the boss wants to do something, the first thing he does is the subordinates.
Xu Qin is familiar with history and he understands this deeply.
Throughout the ages, this is a universal rule and has become commonplace.
Now that Zhu Di wants to learn from Li Shimin, he must first rectify internal affairs, restore people's livelihood, and develop the economy.
Only when you have money can you use troops abroad.
He was an emperor, and it was quite refreshing to touch his lips and make saliva fly everywhere.
But these many things are like a mess, and they all fall on many ministers.
Fortunately, I am the Shao Zhanshi of the Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace. I am not on the front line of the country's military and political affairs. I am not currently responsible for specific government affairs.
It belongs to Zhu Di who was temporarily blinded and made a cameo.
It is better to manage your own one-third of an acre of land well, seize money first, then seize power, and then other things.
Alas... it unfolds slowly, the future is bright, but the road is tortuous.
Xu Qin listened with his ears and watched with his eyes, but in his heart he had his own wishful thinking.
He was like a stick that stirred shit. After a few stirs, he quickly stepped aside to bask in the sun.
Carrying forward the past and looking forward to the future, this is all a thankless chore that offends people.
He didn't want to offend all the courtiers at once, and he would be in panic all day long.
It might even lead to death.
Speaking of the new Emperor Yongle, in the eyes of all his ministers, he was good at military affairs but short-sighted in politics.
If we have to evaluate his political wisdom, it can only be said that it is of a certain level, but it is far inferior to his military talent.
Otherwise, a political veteran with great political talent will not forget about it if the 'Prime Minister in Black' is not around.
When entering Nanjing City, go straight to the imperial palace instead of visiting the imperial mausoleum first.
It almost resulted in a major political disaster.
He used extremely cruel methods to purge Jianwen's old officials to vent his anger.
He plays the family disappearing technique at every turn, killing nine and ten tribes.
Don't you see, the so-called "tyrant Ying Zheng" in history is the one who killed the three clans.
And this kind of atrocities deeply hurt the hearts of scholars all over the world.
Scholars all over the world were concentrated in the various prefectures south of the Yangtze River, which was the economic lifeline.
Jiangnan is precisely the foundation for Jianwen Chaotang.
This clearly lacks political wisdom.
Therefore, the officials and ministers generally did not have a high evaluation of the new emperor's political wisdom.
I just dare to think but dare not speak.
Even Yao Guangxiao was very dissatisfied with Zhu Di's mental retardation and recklessness in this regard.
But Zhu Di, who was not very politically intelligent, realized the spirit in a short period of time thanks to Xu Qin's "bad ideas".
He saw the great things he should accomplish in the future.
People will change, it depends on their height, living environment and people.
To inspire people, we always need to set goals and examples.
The power of role models is powerful.
Of course, you also need to be able to draw a pie.
…
Huaian, Zhuqiao Town Salt Mine.
In the blink of an eye, it has entered November, which is the cold winter period of the year.
It has been more than a month since the construction of the salt mine started, and it seems to be in full swing.
A huge diamond mining platform has been built.
The leaders of the Ministry of Industry used the principle of waterwheels and used wooden gears to push manually with pedals and hands to pull large iron drills to drill into the salt mountains.
The production area and living area are well organized, with safe distances maintained and isolation zones in between.
Warehouses, including large wooden barrels for future salt storage, have been built.
The first mine protection team has begun to be formed. The team has thirty people. The captain, deputy captain, and armor commander are all seconded from the Forbidden Army.
