King Lu, King Jin, King Lu, British Duke, Duke Lu Guo, and Duke Dingguo were six people, with solemn expressions and a sharp turn in their hearts.
The Ming clan, the honorable ministers for more than 200 years, the number has reached hundreds of thousands, although it has experienced the 'seizure' of the imperial court and the previous 'clean-up', but this number alone is quite huge, the expenditure of money and food is more, and the proportion of the imperial court is also quite large - amazing!
If the emperor is worried, he should make some changes, but the impact of the 'demotion of the lord' is too great, and hundreds of thousands of people have to rebel.
However, the emperor in front of him is not Wanli or the Apocalypse, he can listen to the words of the ministers of the foreign court, if he insists on going his own way, they can't stop them at all.
King Lu and the others hesitated for a while, looked at each other again, and finally looked at Zhu Xu, and admonished, "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and the ministers think that they should be cautious and think twice." ” Zhu Xu looked at the six people with a slightly gloomy face, and said, "This is the result of thinking about it for a long time?"
I'll leave you alone with all your business, and you won't care about it yourself?
When did you, like those adults in the outer court, learn to fight for your own merits and blame yourself?
” King Lu and the others heard it clearly, and the emperor was angry and bowed slightly.
Zhang Zhiji, who had not spoken, suddenly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister believes that the clan and the nobles should support themselves and reduce the pressure on the court. ” Zhang Zhijiyuan was in charge of the camp in western Beijing, and is now stationed in Miyun, supporting Mangui of Tumubao and defending the capital, and has just been ordered to enter Beijing not long ago.
Zhu Xu looked at him with encouragement on his face and said, "Go on." ” Zhang Zhiji was also in a hurry, and when he saw Zhu Xu asking, he raised his hand and said, "The emperor is going south, recovering a large territory, and there is a lack of people to guard it. ” The Ming Dynasty's captive clan, the honorable ministers, was essentially wary of them, afraid that they would threaten the imperial power of the Zhu family.
Zhang Zhiji's proposal made Zhu Xudu's eyes light up, if these clans, nobles and ministers were sent overseas, there would be no need to worry about them being big, and they could become the vanguard of colonization, which would be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Zhu Xu nodded approvingly and said, "Although the details still need to be scrutinized, it is a good thing to have ideas." ” Zhang Zhiji's face did not move, his heart was quite excited, and said, "Thank you, Emperor." ” "Anything else?"
Zhu Xu looked at the others.
He has the way, but the nature of what he says is different from what these people say.
King Lu came to his senses, groaned slightly, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, now that all parts of the Ming Dynasty are reclaiming wasteland, can the clan participate in it and have a certain number of acres?"
” "Yes."
Zhu Xu said very decisively, you are going to be demoted, are you still afraid that you will be a little land?
King Jin is not exclusive to this, he once had tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and there are many good shops, looking at Zhu Xu's expression, his eyes moved slightly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that a royal business house can be established, which is responsible for the Zongren Mansion, and the clan can also participate, and the profits will be given to the clan for the year, I don't know what the emperor thinks?"
” "Yes."
Zhu Xu is still very direct, this can be regarded as a workaround to the ancestral system.
British Duke Zhang Weixian frowned, looked up at Zhu Xu, he had already sensed that the emperor was clearly inducing them.
Since he handed over his military power, outside the political situation, he has been watching from the sidelines, and some of Zhu Xu's thoughts are insightful, this is obviously the emperor digging a pit for them, although he doesn't know what is in this pit, but it must be no good!
Xu Yunzhen, the Duke of Dingguo, had just been knighted for a long time, and he was still relatively tender, listening to the words of the two people in front of him, he said with some desire, "Your Majesty, can the noble princess engage in other matters?"
” Zhu Xu didn't have much impression of this, and said with a smile, "Shinong businessman, you have to take your time, you can't let go all at once, you can discuss it."
"If this is the case, it will be a complete break of the 'ancestral system'.
Zhang Weixian's expression was calm, he did not participate in the discussion, he was very uneasy.
But how could Zhu Xu let him go, although he had no military power, his influence was not small at all.
Zhu Xu looked at him and asked slowly, "British Duke, what do you think?"
” Zhang Weixian's expression moved slightly, raised his hand, and said: "The minister thinks that this matter must be discussed in detail by the cabinet and the six ministries, and it cannot be rushed, so it should be done slowly." ” Old fox!
Zhu Xu slandered, Zhang Weixian didn't say this, thought about it in his heart, and said directly: "Then so be it, what was discussed just now, the Zongren Mansion carefully discussed it again, and sorted out the detailed rules for me."
As for the matter of 'demotion to the knighthood', you must carefully study it, extensively solicit the opinions of the prince and the noble minister, and report it to me as soon as possible, and I will let the cabinet discuss it again......"
Having said so much, Zhu Xu just wants to demote the lord and loosen the restrictions on the clan, it is too wasteful to keep hundreds of thousands of people in the house, whether it is to reclaim wasteland or go to sea to trade, it is a choice.
"Obey the order!"
King Lu and the others were quite excited, no matter what, the emperor was a little more tolerant of the clan, and life would not continue to be difficult.
Zhang Weixian raised his head and looked at Zhu Xu deeply, but he still didn't dodge.
Zhu Xu looked at the backs of the six people, his fingers tapping on the table.
Let the wind go first, and give these clan lords and nobles a time to adapt, and hundreds of thousands of clans cannot continue to be kept in captivity.
Although the impact of the demotion will be relatively large, the relaxation should be enough to make up for it.
This matter is basically decided, the difference is the clear details - and no one can resist!
Zhu Xu looked at the empty outside, and whispered to himself, "Donglin, the clan, and the honorable ministers have all been solved, and the military and political reform is now ......"
Bi Ziyan is right, Zhu Xu is indeed clearing some obstacles and giving Shilin a reasonable step.
Before next year's big meeting, sort out these 'blockages'.
These things have basically been solved, and the following is the reform and improvement of the military system and the political system.
Cao Huachun watched from the sidelines, no one understood Zhu Xu's mind better than him, waited for a while, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, General Soldier Lu will be able to arrive in Beijing tomorrow, and General Soldier Cao estimates that it will take two days." ” Zhu Xu nodded silently, was silent for a while, and said, "Well, the outside is watching." ” This is the time when he is most prone to chaos, and he wants to control the situation and complete his established reform plan.
"Yes."

Cao Huachun said.
After Zhu Xu finished saying this, he took the notebook on the table in his hand and continued his work.
In the cabinet, Bi Ziyan and Fu Changzong sat opposite each other, discussing next year's financial situation.
Fu Changzong held a small notebook in his hand, and said, "Although there will be disarmament next year, the expenditure will not be reduced for a while and a half, it is expected that the silver will be more than 20 million, the immigration expenditure will be more than 7 million, the support of the Ministry of Industry is estimated to be more than 4 million, and the other five departments will be more than 3 million......
This is roughly calculated, and with this year's shortfall, the shortage of silver next year will be more than 10 million stones, and the grain will be more than 5 million stones......"
Bi Ziyan knew all of these in his heart, and he still kept frowning when he heard Fu Changzong say it.
During the Apocalypse, the tax silver of the imperial court was about two million taels, and the grain was about 13 million.
Due to the emperor's transfer of Huitong Commercial Bank and others to the cabinet, the imperial court's tax and silver increased to about 30 million, and the tax grain also had 18 million, which seemed to have increased a lot, but the expenditure was even larger, and it would not be able to immediately throttle for a while, and the deficit in the next two years would be even more than the tax in the year of the Apocalypse!
In the future, taxes will be reduced, but the deficit may not be filled, that is to say, unless the ten major granaries are used, this loophole cannot be filled at all, and it will only get bigger and bigger year by year.
Throttling is imminent!
The cabinet is imminent!
It is urgent to promote the 'New Deal'!
Bi Ziyan was thinking in his heart, looking at Fu Changzong and said in a firm tone: "The most critical part of the 'New Deal' is the 'Tian Mu Policy', this official intends to separate the Tian Mu and Hu Ding and other divisions managed by the household department and set up a yamen, what do you think?"
” This is the most important responsibility of the household department, once it is taken away, the household department is half empty, only the management of money and grain remains, and this management is written, and the actual custody is not in the household department.
Fu Changzong looked at Bi Ziyan, his expression was calm, and his eyes flashed slightly.
