Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 145 Conservatives Think Radicals Are Too Conservative

Wang Buli laughed and understood that he was under surveillance here.

Sure enough, Lao Zhu should not have stopped monitoring him.

After all, as his prospective son-in-law, he still needs to know more about him.

As the first civilian prince-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, you need to pay attention to one or two things no matter what.

"Since I have become the historian of Jiangning County, I naturally have to investigate the illegal activities in the first and second jurisdictions and clean up some of the Ming dynasty bugs."

Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly after hearing Wang Buli's words.

Nowadays, Wang Buli's burden is obviously heavier than before, and it is a good thing that he is so responsible.

"I will send you four more good people to take charge of your safety, so that no one can target you."

"Row."

Wang Buli did not reject Zhu Biao's kindness, which was also a disguised form of surveillance.

It's better than keeping it secret and letting Wang Buli guess who it is.

What's more, this can be regarded as the goodwill released by Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao then took the brochure of the inn from the attendant and handed it to him:

"Help me give advice. I don't understand the affairs of the people in the deep palace and can easily be deceived.

Having a brother-in-law like you who has been among the people for a long time will surely know many things that I don’t know. "

After Wang Buli took it, he opened it in no hurry:

"Who dares to deceive the emperor? Do you really think that not many officials were killed in the Kongyin case?"

Zhu Biao waved his hands and leaned on the chair:

"Those civil servants didn't dare to deceive my father, but they still had the courage to deceive me when I was young."

Wang Buli said, "You lied to me. You don't know how much your father values ​​you, right?"

Although it is said that Zhu Biao rebelled and wanted to become emperor early, Lao Zhu would take the initiative to give up the throne and say, son, why did you come here? It's a joke.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself had a high level of control over power. He tried his best to cultivate Zhu Biao, but it was not for the sake of becoming the emperor as soon as possible.

As far as the profession of prince is concerned, although Zhu Biao has been a prince for almost ten years, he is still very immature.

Wang Buli thought that it was probably because the Ming Dynasty created a new delivery station specifically for the transportation of military supplies and tributes in view of the fact that the post and transportation of the Yuan Dynasty merged into one and interfered with each other, which greatly affected the post.

Moreover, in order to save money, Lao Zhu assigned the post station to the guards as a military station, and soldiers served as post soldiers to deliver official documents for the court.

During the Jiajing and Wanli years, due to the reduction in war, the delivery office was sharply reduced.

"Actually, I think that by setting up so many inns, the imperial court fully utilized this ability to make money."

"Expand and tell me."

"I think the delivery station is specially used to transport military supplies, but does our Ming Dynasty go to war every year now?"

"Of course not."

"In this case, it can also be used to help private people transport goods or letters, so as to collect a certain fee."

Wang Buli pointed to two points from Peking to Nanjing and charged freight according to distance and weight of the goods.

In this way, we can also avoid those people below secretly transporting other people's goods. All entrances and exits must be registered, and a seal must be stamped before departure.

Once there is a war, all civilian freight will be stopped.

Another example is that soldiers and officials of the Ming Dynasty could post letters to their relatives at home for free.

Of course, Wang Buli's focus on the welfare of Ming soldiers is a bit far-fetched.

Lao Zhu insisted that everyone who serves as a soldier should pick up their family members, so as to effectively prevent soldiers from fleeing.

It's normal for a soldier to have no money. Lao Zhu would ask the people in the soldier's village to collectively pay for the trip and send the soldier's wife to his border guarding place so that their family could be reunited.

Look how considerate I am!

Anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to pay from the treasury.

When Zhu Biao listened to Wang Buli's words, he actually didn't understand why he always wanted to make money.

This is a national event, how can it be linked to money?

"Brother-in-law, if someone delays national affairs because of money, how can he do it?"

"Why don't we always implement it because of the disadvantages?"

The documents under Wang Buli's hand were still on the table:

"Do you think that if you prohibit the private transportation of your subordinates, you can completely ban it? This kind of thinking is too wishful thinking.

Instead of letting the transport market be occupied by those borers, it is better for us to occupy it first and then conduct a vicious investigation. When these borers are fattened, they just fatten the pigs and then kill them.

The laws of the imperial court have been upheld, the people's demands for getting rid of corrupt officials have been resolved, the hearts of the people have been gathered, and a large amount of money has entered the national treasury, which can be used to do many things. "

Zhu Biao was suddenly shocked by Wang Buli's words.

Because he felt that his father's ruthless approach to illegal and criminal officials would surely deter them from committing corruption.

But these people are really following one after another, and the things about being peeled of day lilies don't seem to threaten them.

When Prince Zhu Biao listened to Wang Buli's words, he felt that his father's work was a bit rough.

It's not as fast as Wang Buli's method of getting money, and it's more just.

"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."

Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly and even stood up excitedly and took a few steps.

He found that the previous knowledge taught by teachers such as Song Lian did not involve this aspect at all.

Although we say we want to educate the people, in the end we still want to fool them.

Zhu Yuanzhang determined the salary for everyone after careful calculation, which was a way to fool the people.

Similarly, Zhu Biao also learned from his teacher the concept of governing so that the people could not starve to death, but they did not have much money in their hands and had to work all their lives.

In this way, the people no longer have any thoughts of rebellion, and they can survive anyway.

Unless the officials are too harsh and continue to increase exploitation.

In the later period, the Ming Dynasty court levied 20% of the tax, and the local government doubled it for you, which would be regarded as loving the people and keeping it.

Moreover, local officials would not truthfully hand over 20% of taxes to the court.

Daming's large number of middle layers were full.

Wang Buli waved his hand quickly: "It's just some of my experience working at the grassroots level. I haven't read any books by sages of ten years."

Zhu Biao finally understood what his father said about petty officials who were extremely cunning and could not be caught by ordinary people.

In addition, many petty officials in the late Yuan Dynasty have become high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty today.

This group of people's means of making money are never low.

The most famous one is Li Shanchang, who has been in contact with Zhu Biao since he was a child.

Zhu Biao suppressed his excitement and sat down again.

Posts charge a fee for delivering letters, but sending letters to officials and soldiers is free.

If you want to see if there is collusion among officials, the inspection team can find it faster.

This point was thought of by Zhu Biao himself.

Letters from officials are really hard to hold in your hands.

Regarding the policy of governing the country by spies, Zhu Biao also inherited it perfectly and had no intention of changing it.

Zhu Biao was not affected by Zhu Yuanzhang in the slightest.

"I just thought about it carefully. This profitable business is really going to happen."

Zhu Biao looked very excited: "Is there such a way to make money in the Song Dynasty?"

“I think there is, and it’s not just the official, private people also do this, but most of them use the inns privately for officials without spending any money.

Qin Guan was demoted, and he received many private messages from postmen in the place where he was demoted. Ouyang Xiu also used the post to privately pass poems to friends, and was later reported. "

The Tang Dynasty stipulated that anyone who uses a post to send personal belongings without permission can get a hundred sticks.

There is also Du Fu who said that letters from home are worth ten thousand gold.

This shows that this was the case before the Tang Dynasty. It is said that Lord Mengchang was engaged in private mail during the Warring States Period.

Wang Buli replied.

When it comes to post offices and logistics, Zhu Yuanzhang spent a lot of money to build ready-made routes without any new investment from the dynasty.

And the official shipping fee won’t be too high.

Let’s talk about some small benefits that can exempt you from tariffs. Isn’t this what the court earns from businessmen?

After they finish selling the goods, they will collect another wave of taxes.

It's simply a win.

"It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to communicate. I have heard that rich people either send special messengers, hire people to deliver messages, or send messages on behalf of high-ranking officials on official business. They usually rely on people to carry them, which is time-consuming, expensive and not very reliable.

Therefore, it is very difficult to communicate with family members and transmit news.

If the Ming government took the initiative to do such things to benefit the people and solve the people's difficulties, and the prince brother proposed this reform, it would probably be remembered in history. "

"Hahaha." Zhu Biao looked very happy, and he couldn't help but stand up:

"It's still too far to say this."

Zhu Fan came to discuss this with Wang Buli just because he wanted to make three poles if there were no dates.

He didn't expect that his brother-in-law could solve his train of thought in just a few words.

He is worthy of being a smart person who can play with some magic weapons after entering the fairyland.

When the treasury is abundant and the post station can make money, the pressure on the postmen will be reduced.

It could also prevent his father from seeing in the fairyland the stupid move of later Emperor Chongzhen to close the post stations because of excessive costs.

Similarly, the post station system proposed by Wang Buli earlier will also have more office funds.

The phenomenon of the Sifang Post Station being exhausted and the people suffering extreme hardship will no longer appear again.

Get more in one fell swoop.

Zhu Biao was so excited that he almost ran around in circles.

"I remembered that Lu Kaizhi, a scholar from the Southern Dynasties and Song Dynasty, sent flowers to Longtou people by sending them to the messengers. If there was nothing in the south of the Yangtze River, a spring branch would be added."

"Prince brother is so talented in literature."

Wang Buli also mentioned that this poem sounded really good. Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was also "illiterate" and didn't like poetry very much.

Zhu Biao walked up to Wang Buli, leaned over and shook him hard.

"Good brother-in-law, really our good brother-in-law."

Wang Buli just smiled. He knew that Zhu Biao was a good prince.

With this innovative approach, Zhu Biao will definitely devote more effort.

In this way, he is not as relaxed as Lao Zhu.

Since he wants to build the Ming Dynasty, then give him ideas from time to time and ask him to build it.

I don't know when I will be tired and leave early.

High-intensity, high-load work with little rest time is really not a good thing for longevity.

Wang Buli contributed his own ideas, which can be regarded as considering his own long-term interests.

For a workaholic, give him a lot of work.

In this way, Zhu Biao will think that his life is valuable until his death, and Wang Buli is also a "loyal minister."

What's more, Wang Buli's suggestions would also be of great benefit to Ming Dynasty.

No one is wrong.

It can be considered a strange win-win situation.

Even though Xiao Zhu is younger than Lao Zhu, their physical fitness is not even close to that of the other two.

Look how tired Zhuge Liang is from concentrating power in this disguised way to govern Shu.

"Liang can no longer beg for help in battle!"

Compared to Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang died young.

Zhu Yuanzhang is capable of catching up with Prime Minister Zhuge in terms of centralizing imperial power and handling government affairs in every detail.
