Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

As soon as Zhu Tao ran out, he was dragged back by Zhu Yuanzhang in three steps and two steps.

"Come back to me, you kid, don't you? I just made you a king, but you just want to lie down and be a salted fish. You don't look like our son!"

Zhu Tao looked at his father with a sullen expression, and was helpless, so he could only defend himself.

"I don't want to ignore it, but I really can't manage it. The world is so big tomorrow, and there are as many as 6000 million people. Kyushu Wanfang, with a temperament like mine, how can I be the chief assistant? It will still embarrass you .”

At this time, the prince Zhu Biao who had been silent by the side suddenly ran over.

He had been staring at this matter for a long time, but he didn't interrupt it. He was already exhausted. If Zhu Tao could share the burden, it would be really wishful.

Therefore, he said directly to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Qi Zou, Emperor Father, I also think that the position of chief assistant must belong to younger brother Tao. He is still not familiar with government affairs, and I can teach him slowly."

After hearing this, Zhu Tao almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, what kind of big brother is this, it's a net trick.

He has to insist on resigning from this position. If he really takes this step back, Zhu Yuanzhang and his father will definitely arrange more things for themselves.

"I have to go back first. There is still something to do at Zhujiazhuang. By the way, there is no paper in the toilet in the village. I have to put some paper..."

Just about to sneak away, Zhu Yuanzhang caught him again.

"Can you stand still, kid? Let's discuss if we have something to do. What's the matter if you run away? Don't you give your father face like this?"

It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang is already very helpless, but he really has nothing to do with this son.

Everyone present was stunned to the extreme. You must know that this position is the position of the chief minister of the cabinet, the position of the prime minister who is the head of civil servants.

How many officials of the six ministries and nine ministers always dream of that chair, but it is out of reach, but Zhu Tao avoids it for fear that it will be too late. Why is this?
Seeing Zhu Tao's determined face, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to take a step back from him and said.

"That's how it is. We still let you assume the name of chief assistant, but you don't need to take charge of government affairs. As long as there is something I will entrust to you, you can do it for us."

Zhu Tao scratched his head, still thinking about whether to agree, Zhu Yuanzhang ran away immediately.

"We have given you to this extent, and you still don't agree, should I let Lao Tzu hit you with a rolling pin!"

Zhu Tao was also helpless. After thinking about it, he felt that this was a good choice. Besides, if the emperor really got mad on the spot here, it might not look good.

Therefore, he had no choice but to agree with some helplessness.

"Father, what you said makes sense, and I didn't say no. Don't I have to think about it? I think this is the way to do it. Let Li Xiangguo still serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet and take charge of all the government affairs of the cabinet. This chief assistant is a nominal one, in fact, it is like a staff consultant."

Seeing that Zhu Tao agreed, it was natural for him to say what he said, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not refuse.

"From now on, Li Shanchang will be relegated to the second assistant, and still take charge of all the cabinet affairs. Zhu Tao will be my first assistant in Ming Dynasty from now on, and now I will immediately send an edict to announce it to the world."

Li Shanchang glanced at Zhu Tao gratefully. Although his position seemed to be downgraded, his power was not reduced at all. It all depended on Zhu Tao's indifferent fame and fortune and his speaking for himself.

Huang Guan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was stunned. At first, he felt that Zhu Tao's three words and three concessions were false, but he didn't expect it to be true.

It took Zhu Yuanzhang a lot of effort to let him accept such a false title. This Zhu Tao is really a strange person.

When he was in a daze, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him directly, and then scolded.

"Why are you in a daze with this place? Why don't you rush to deliver the decree? If we go late, what should we do if Tao'er regrets it? Hurry up and do it, don't waste time!"

The Liubu Jiuqing who were present really couldn't bear it any longer, and their hearts were like tossing the river and the sea.

The capital assistant Zhu Tao got doesn't even want to do it. What exactly does he want to do?Do you really just want to be a person who eats, drinks, plays and waits to die? It shouldn't be.

A person with such great ability is so indifferent, which really exceeded the psychological expectations of all the ministers present.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think so much, he suddenly thought of a question, so he asked Zhu Tao.

"We have already made you the chief minister of the cabinet, so now we should give you an extra reward, then you can just tell us what you want."

Zhu Tao thought about it carefully before speaking.

"I don't really want much, so how about rewarding me with the two copper mines of the Yunnan Copper Administration Department?"

The ministers present, who were already depressed, were immediately blown up.

You must know that the imperial court absolutely controls tea, horse, salt and non-ferrous metals, and Ouyang Lun, the prince consort, was sentenced to death for violating the imperial court's ban on tea and horse trade.

Copper mines are the basis for making money. The imperial court can only mine more than 2000 million catties of copper each year. The two copper mines in the Yunnan Copper Administration account for 800 million catties of copper each year.

For the managers of these two copper mines, even if they stretch out their hands a little, they will be very rich, and they will not be able to spend a few lifetimes.

Generally speaking, this kind of thing is something you can meet but not ask for, but Zhu Tao directly asked Zhu Yuanzhang for it.

Everyone present was sweating for him, this kind of thing is not a joke.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this request, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said to Zhu Tao.

"As expected of our son, he grasped the important point at once, but the copper mine is in the ascendant, let's take care of the iron mine for you first, Xingguo produces iron, more than half of the country's production comes from Xingguo, What do we want you to do over there?"

Zhu Tao nodded, and answered Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile.

"Since this is the case, the boy is reluctant to do so."

After hearing this, the ministers present almost dropped their jaws. It is so difficult to manage the iron mines. What a Versailles this is.

You must know that compared with copper mines, iron mines are actually more directly related to the lifeline of Daming, because iron is used to forge weapons.

In this position, if someone asks for management rights, Zhu Yuanzhang will basically lock him in to corrupt the law.

But Zhu Tao is not a money-grubbing person, so Zhu Yuanzhang can rest assured that this place is handed over to him directly, but said very happily.

"Tao'er has really grown up and knows how to share our worries. Since this is the case, I will hand over the iron mine to you first. In the future, the copper mine will be sorted out and I will also hand it over to you."

The people present really couldn't listen any longer. This father and son were simply spreading dog food in public to show off their father-son love.

Zhu Tao asked Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile.

"Father, the right to operate these iron mines has been handed over to my son, so why don't you ask, what am I going to do with them?"
