Zhu Xu finished breakfast in Fengzao Palace, and played with the two children for a while, and then took Xiao Ciye out of Fengzao Palace.
As soon as he went out, Xiao Yongning jumped out and shouted at Zhu Xu and Xiao Ciye from afar with a papier-mâché windmill: "Uncle Huang, Ye'er, look at what I have prepared......"
She was followed by Su Yinyin, not far away.
Xiao Ciye couldn't stand this noisy aunt, frowned when she saw her, and held Zhu Xu's hand tightly.
Zhu Xu felt it and looked down at him.
Xiao Yongning panted and ran over, grinning and said, "Uncle Huang, I made a windmill for Ye'er and built a snowman, Ye'er will definitely like it......"
Although he was smiling, he was cautiously observing Zhu Xu in his eyes.
Zhu Xu flicked his finger on the door of her head, and said, "It's okay to dangle in front of Ye'er's eyes, and besides, you will wait in my class room tomorrow, if you dare to be lazy for half a minute, I will hang you for a month!"
” Xiao Yongning's grinning little face suddenly disappeared, pouting and rolling his eyes.
Zhu Xu ignored him and pulled Xiao Ciye towards the outside of the palace.
Xiao Yongning's face changed, and he hurriedly followed, chattering on Zhu Xu's right side: "Uncle Huang, do you know?
There are a lot of powerful people in the military courtyard, archery, horseback riding, sprinting, axes, knives and forks, boring sticks, snakes, and sticks, all of them, by the way, there is a person named Li Dingguo, who is particularly powerful, and in the sand table deduction, even Lu Guogong can't win against him......"
Li Dingguo has already shown some abilities, Zhu Xu is paying close attention, these naturally know, his right hand pressed the little girl's head and pushed it back, and said, "Go back, stay in the palace today." ” The little girl hurriedly brushed Zhu Xu's hand away, caught up again, and said eagerly: "I heard that he also led soldiers to suppress bandits in the southwest, and fought against the Mongols out of the fortress, which is very remarkable, Uncle Huang, you let him enter the palace, I want to learn from him......"
Zhu Xu, who didn't care much about it, paused, and looked at Xiao Yongning with a somewhat different look.
Xiao Yongning was saying that he was happy, and accidentally surpassed Zhu Xu, and looked back at Zhu Xu in a little stunned, seeing his strange expression, he suddenly exclaimed: "Uncle Huang, I remembered, the queen mother has something to do with me, I will leave first......"
The little girl said, turned around and slipped away quickly.
Zhu Xu looked at her back, squinted, and said to himself for a while: "Li Dingguo......"
Xiao Yongning will be thirteen years old this year, and he will be able to get married in two or three years, and Empress Dowager Zhang is already quietly looking for it, and she has also talked to Zhu Xu and Zhang Yun many times.
Immediately, Zhu Xu laughed and pulled Xiao Ciye forward.
Fate is such a thing, you can't force it, you can only slowly see the future of the two.
Zhu Xu turned around and walked out of the Qianqing Gate, and Zhang Bingwen, the head of the household, was already waiting.
"See the emperor, see your highness."
Zhang Bingwen stepped forward and raised his hand to salute.
Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "The first snow of the year, let's talk while walking." ” "Yes."
Zhang Bingwen followed Zhu Xu's side, his face thoughtful, and he seemed to be still organizing his language.
Xiao Ciye raised his head, looked at Zhu Xu, and then at Zhang Bingwen, very quiet.
After walking a few steps, Zhang Bingwen said: "Your Majesty, the bad governance of local officials is far beyond the imagination of the imperial court.
The intricacies of the place are like a mess, which cannot be cut or straightened, and the consequences of a slight touch are unimaginable......"
"Specifically."
Zhu Xu said.
Zhang Bingwen was contemplative and said: "In a county, the person in charge is actually not the magistrate of the county, the government office, but in fact, the local gentry, if they don't nod, the magistrate can't even adjust the officials, the salary can't be paid, and no one listens."
Even, the orders of the county government could not get out of the gate.
Whether it is taxation, forced labor, or others, the land of a county has been bound by these gentry, and the decrees of the imperial court cannot be issued at all, and any reform will be digested silently here, not something that can be changed by changing a county or a prefect......"
"Most of the gentry in a county have been inherited for more than a hundred years, whether it is fame or acres, and property, they are all deep-rooted, flourishing, and hold more than seven or eight tenths of the wealth of the county, and they only go in and out, more and more inflated, and the whole county is their house slaves......"
"This is still a county, if it is a government, it is more complicated, six years before the Apocalypse, a medium government, the annual tax and silver is only 100,000 taels, most of which are still deducted by various deductions, not to mention the imperial court, there is not much left in the locality, most of the officials' money is made by these gentry and magnates, it's okay, if there is something, it will inevitably become a beacon fire, the local government has no money and no one, and it is impossible to deal with it......"
"Since the emperor's ascension to the pole, although the strong innovation, but the situation, has not been fundamentally reversed, the local is like a quagmire, once it is trapped, it cannot be pulled out, and the court has reformed from top to bottom......
The minister is very suspicious of such an effect, and the minister is also worried, if the innovation is not appropriate, I am afraid that this quagmire will be bigger, deeper, and more difficult to innovate, so that Zhongxing Daming will become an empty word......"
"At the provincial level, the form is still complicated and difficult to say, the governor yamen seems to be in charge of the power of a province, but how much influence can be reached, whether he can reach into the prefecture and county level, the minister is not sure, and now the disaster is like fire, the people are not happy, the 'new deal' is not waiting for me, and the slightest must fight!
This time, the minister was deeply touched, and he was more worried, and he could better understand what the emperor had done over the years, and he was so worried that he stood taller than the ministers, saw farther, and saw clearly......"
Zhang Bingwen followed Zhu Xu's side, pouring out a belly of words one after another, without patting a sycophant, with a deep worry on his face.
Zhu Xu had already let go of Xiao Ciye's hand, his steps slowed down unconsciously, and his expression was heavy.
At this time, there are many good officials in the Ming Dynasty who are worried about the country and the people, and it is not surprising that Zhang Bingwen can have this worry.
It's just that what Zhang Bingwen said is what he saw, and the actual situation is only ten times or a hundred times more serious than what he saw!
Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, slowly stepped on the snow, and had already walked out of Donghua Gate, and after a while, he spoke: "I am very pleased that you can see this."
When Elder Bi Ge went out this time, he should have seen a lot clearly.

Cabinet, is there already targeted measures coming out?
” Zhang Bingwen followed Zhu Xu to step on the snow, listened to the creaking sound, and said: "Yes, the cabinet has prepared a series of measures, which are quite tough, and it seems that they want to quickly cut through the mess, clean up the fields, taxes, and people, and configure a unified 'Tiqi' to suppress all those who oppose it......
I don't dare to agree. ” Zhu Xu had already read this draft and was kept by him.
It is normal for Zhang Bingwen to worry, Daming is so big, he wants to re-measure the acres of land in one breath and redistribute it, where is it so easy, the world must be in chaos.
At this time, Daming was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, just like a seemingly calm oil pot, but in fact it was already piping hot.
If the cabinet moves violently, it will be unprecedented for fear of causing shock!
Zhu Xu was like a mirror to government affairs, and said quietly, "What do you think should be done?"
” Zhang Bingwen looked solemn, looked at Zhu Xu and said: "Your Majesty, the minister believes that it should be dealt with accurately, methodically, and in parallel, and should not be grasped all at once.
In this way, it is possible to disperse the opposition and advance it vigorously and quickly......"
Zhu Xu understood what Zhang Bingwen meant, thought about it in his heart, and asked, "What is the opinion of the cabinet?"
” Zhang Bingwen said: "Bi Ge Lao insisted that the 'new policy' should be grasped by the cabinet and could not be relaxed, and made strict requirements for the six ministries and nine temples, etc., and must obey the cabinet orders, not the slightest reckless, all government decrees need to be reviewed by the cabinet, and the cabinet decrees must be strictly obeyed, and there must be no slightest objection......
Zhu Xu nodded slightly, he could understand Bi Ziyan's thoughts, and said, "Do you think like this, are you your own, or do most of the court think like this?"
” Zhang Bingwen was silent for a moment and said: "At present, it is the minister's idea alone, and the other scholars and ministers have not had time to talk about it, the cabinet is quite firm, and the minister is a little worried." ” Zhu Xu took a few steps with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said, "What do you think of the council?"
” Zhang Bingwen was slightly stunned, a little didn't understand what Zhu Xu meant, thought about it for a while, and said in his heart: "The emperor is saying that the parliament can check and balance the cabinet?"
” Zhu Xu laughed and said, "It's not a check and balance, it's to let you know how to talk to the cabinet."
How to control the impulsiveness and recklessness of the cabinet, how to express your opinions, how to make the policy more perfect, pragmatic, and not in vain ......"
Zhang Bingwen understood and said, "Yes, the minister understands." ” Zhu Xu said this, just hoping that this parliament could mature as soon as possible and understand its own usefulness, as for the result, it doesn't matter, this lawsuit will come to him sooner or later.
