Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

With Liu Bowen being so knowledgeable, Zhu Tao also smiled and said to him.

"In this case, thank you Mr. Liu. After the court breaks up, you go to my place. I will cook some delicious dishes for you. By the way, let Mr. Li and Mr. Song go together."

While he was talking, Zhu Yuanzhang came to the court, and he spoke directly without being muddled at all.

"Liang Aiqing, Minister of the Household Department, I want to chat with you about the treatment of these clans."

As soon as he said this, Liang Qingbiao's brain immediately thumped, as if it was about to explode.

You must know that the clans of the Ming Dynasty have become a place that is holding back the national treasury.

At present, although there are less than forty princes and county kings, each of them needs to spend a lot of money and food to set up a mansion to live in another place or to go out of Beijing to become a vassal.

And these princes and county kings will also give birth to a bunch of Zhenguo generals and Zhenguo lieutenants, and when they grow up, they will receive a grain of rice and salary.

All the money was distributed by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Every time the clan had a wedding or funeral, or a prince gave birth to a son, Liang Qingbiao would be very worried.

This Minister of the Household Department is almost like a short-sighted person. You must know that this is only the first generation of royal nobles.

Liang Qingbiao decided to confront Zhu Yuanzhang directly, otherwise he would not be able to complete the errand, and he would still not have a good result.

"Your Majesty's distribution of feudal kings and clans, I think I need to continue to observe for a while, and there is not so much money and food in the treasury now. If Your Majesty insists on making a big deal now, I can only resign from the household. The position of Minister of the Ministry, I will ask for punishment for the crime."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little funny. He didn't expect that Liang Qingbiao, who was usually submissive, would be so daring.

"Liang Aiqing, you are thinking too much, when did we say that we would continue to entrust these clans?"

Liang Qingbiao was taken aback for a moment. He didn't know what kind of medicine Zhu Yuanzhang was selling in his gourd, but as long as it wasn't a good medicine, it would be difficult for him, the Secretary of the Household Department, to do so.

"Could it be that my guess is wrong, isn't Your Majesty going to reward the clan with money and food?"

To be honest, when he asked this question, he himself was very unconfident, but he had to ask, after all, he was the Minister of the Household Department.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, and said to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Remember, all the descendants of the Zhu family are not moths. Let's give them titles. Except for a few princes and titles in the important towns of the Nine Borders, which can be hereditary, the rest will be downgraded every other generation, and finally will be reduced to the idle clan. It is equivalent to a seventh-rank official."

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, there was a sensation in the court, and everyone could hardly believe that it was said from the mouth of Emperor Hongwu.

Liang Qingbiao immediately knelt down and kowtowed, shouting loudly.

"If such a policy can be implemented, it will be able to effectively control the growth of the clan's population. The country's fiscal and tax revenue will be greatly saved, and Ming will not be burdened with finances. This is His Majesty's wise decision, and the ministers are very impressed. "

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally happy, and he thought that Tao'er's idea seemed to work.

"It's true that we made our own decision on this matter, but in the process, we also consulted Zhu Tao's opinion."

These ministers were all blown up. You must know that Zhu Tao is already the king of Dingyuan County, and he can be regarded as the royal family.

However, although such a policy is thrown out, although it is a good thing for Daming's finances, it is undoubtedly an offending thing for these royal families.

Moreover, it is also a kind of harm to Zhu Tao's own interests. Why does the king of Dingyuan support such a policy?

So some people think that Zhu Tao is a bit stupid, but more people admire him very much.I think this person is a great person.

Since His Majesty brought up this matter himself, all the grievances cannot be spread on Zhu Tao, and the royal family present also dared not speak out.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't finish talking here, he continued to sell Zhu Tao well.

"Ministers, if you have merit, you must be rewarded, and if you have faults, you must be punished. Zhu Tao has made great contributions to the North and South List incident, and now he supports the reform of the clan's salary. We think it must be rewarded."

None of these ministers spoke. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to reward his son.

Huang Guan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly left the class and said.

"Your Majesty, I think this kind of credit is too dazzling, and ordinary rewards are not enough to reward him. I suggest that, like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarding Huo Qubing, he should do his best and build a monument for Zhu Tao, the king of Dingyuan. His great achievements are all engraved on it, so that future generations can admire and know."

These ministers looked at Huang Guan one after another, and suddenly felt a little contemptuous. After all, a genius who won six yuan in a row could think of such an idea to flatter him.

However, they also knew in their hearts that whoever said such a thing in advance would be able to get Zhu Yuanzhang's inner approval.

Sure enough, after listening to Huang Guan's performance, Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and said happily.

"Huang Aiqing still understands the matter in her heart, and since this is the case, then let me tell you that this stele cannot be erected casually, we must erect it around the Taimiao, so that future generations can all know Zhu Tao's achievements.

Everyone felt a little bit sour in an instant. This matter was settled. If the throne could be handed over to Zhu Tao, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely not be ambiguous.

At this time, Liang Qingbiao suddenly thought, isn't he the first one to talk to the emperor this time?How could Huang Guan take the credit?

No, no matter what, he must win this lottery, so he said with a smile.

"Since this is the case, let the household department handle the matter of engraving the stele. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter properly, so that you will not be disappointed."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the six ministers and nine ministers below, and he knew very well that at this time they were not simply facing themselves for meritorious service, but for an opportunity to curry favor with Zhu Tao.

So Zhu Yuanzhang got off the donkey along the slope and said to Huang Guan and Liang Qingbiao.

"Okay, since the two lovers have such a heart, you two will do it together. As long as the matter is done properly, there will be a big reward."

The two quickly took orders as if they had eaten bee poo, and then they patted the pai for a while, promising that they would do well.

The other officials felt a little depressed when they saw the two winning the lottery, so everyone looked at them and didn't speak, but Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew it very well.
