Domineering Daming

Regarding the economic capacity of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xu has no idea, especially if the private Tibetan silver is issued too much, it will cause inflation and have an impact on the currency market. At this time, this kind of thing must never happen.

"Brother, you need to be cautious about this matter. The royal bank's outbound should be mainly 'exchange'. It must ensure that the currency value of the new currency is stable, and the people must trust it. For a run on a large scale, even if I get money from within, or even from the treasury, I must ensure that the payment is normal..."

Zhu Xu seriously instructed, "I will ask the cabinet to guarantee this matter, but the Royal Bank has no affiliation with the cabinet. Brother, you must keep this in mind!"

If the royal bank is handed over to the cabinet, not to mention the money in it, his plan alone will be completely destroyed.

Fu Tao knew that Zhu Xu attached great importance to the Royal Bank and never allowed other people to intervene, so he replied: "Yes, I understand."

Chapter 1000 Strict Five Rules

What Fu Changzong said was like thunder.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, no official dared to confront Zhu Xu head-on. Perhaps there were many who were not afraid of death, but there were no shameless ones who disregarded their reputations. There are lessons learned from Zou Weilian and Li Banghua, and the lecture about "firearms" not long ago Who would dare to speak to Zhu Xu with great principles?

As for those who are shameless and disrespectful of their reputation, they are afraid of death.

A group of governors reflected quietly, suppressing the anxiety in their hearts, and quietly waiting for tomorrow's big discussion.

That night, the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Zhu Xu came alone, and Empress Dowager Zhang babbled while picking up vegetables for Zhu Xu: "I heard people say that you haven't been to Kunning Palace very much recently, and you don't go to other palaces either. You stay up late until dawn... "

Holding the bowl, Zhu Xu listened to Empress Dowager Zhang's long-lost chatter, smiling silently.

Xiao Yongning was next to Zhu Xu, pouted with a look of jealousy.

Empress Dowager Zhang babbled for a while, then sighed again, and said worriedly: "I just came out from the concubine's place, and the concubine has been sleeping a lot lately, I'm a little worried..."

Zhu Xu's face darkened when he heard that, the old concubine was over 80, and she couldn't hold on anymore.

Empress Dowager Zhang said something, and seeing Zhu Xu's expression, she hurriedly said: "Okay, the queen and I will look at these things, you are busy with your work, pay attention to rest, if you don't have time to go to Kunning Palace, let the queen do it In the palace of the Qing Dynasty, it is only good to have someone to take care of you, you must be restrained in staying up late, and don't rely on your youth to stay up..."

Zhu Xu nodded without arguing.

Xiao Yongning held chopsticks and held a ball, but failed for a long time. Empress Dowager Zhang was about to hit her with a spoon when the little girl suddenly raised her head to Zhu Xu and said, "Uncle Emperor, is General Qin going to Beijing?"

"General Qin, Qin Liangyu?" Zhu Xu was startled.

"Hmm." The little girl sat up and said solemnly.

Zhu Xu glanced at Queen Mother Zhang, but said nothing.Shaking her head secretly, since this girl listened to the words of the great monk Huijing, she was determined to be a female general, and she was often taught by Queen Mother Zhang.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Zhang's face turned cold, and she said: "Go back and copy the women's precepts for me a hundred times. If you make a mistake, you will not be able to get out of the Compassionate Ning Palace for a month!"

The little girl blinked her eyes, she didn't care at all, she was already thinking about how to meet Qin Liangyu, how to be a mighty female general!

After eating and drinking tea for a while, Empress Dowager Zhang turned to the topic and said, "Royal blood cannot be left outside."

This is about the child of Bumbutai, and this is not the first time Queen Mother Zhang has said this.

Zhu Xu repeatedly assured that Queen Mother Zhang would be at ease.

Coming out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, Zhu Xu walked into the Kun Ning Palace and lay on his side on the soft bed of the Nuan Pavilion.

Zhang Yun rubbed Zhu Xu's shoulders, and said softly, "Your Majesty, your shoulders are very stiff, you need to move more."

Zhu Xu has too many things to do recently, listening to her words, nodded, took her hand, and said: "If you are not afraid that I will disturb you, you can go to Qianqing Palace to sleep at night. During this time, I have no time to take care of the harem." gone."

Zhang Yun pursed her lips, whispered in Zhu Xu's ear, "Your Majesty, my concubine wants to arrange for my sisters to go there in turn."

Zhu Xu laughed and said, "You can arrange it, but I don't have a regular schedule, so I go to bed late and get up early, so you have to be prepared."

Zhang Yun smiled happily, without saying much, and pressed his hands on Zhu Xu's shoulders vigorously.

After staying in Kunning Palace for a while, Zhu Xu returned to Qianqing Palace, where the cabinet members were already waiting.

"Sit down." Zhu Xu walked in, took off his cloak, waved to the inner prisoner and said, "Move the chairs for all the adults."

The inner prison moved five chairs, Bi Ziyan and others thanked him, and sat down opposite Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu sat in his small desk and said, "Is there a result for coming to see me so late?"

Bi Ziyan got up, stepped forward and handed a memorial to Zhu Xu, saying: "Return to the emperor, the cabinet has reached an agreement with the governors who have come to Beijing, and the 'New Deal' plan for this year and the next three years has been set. Take a look."

This memorial is written in the form of a "big memorial", which is the size of an ordinary three-course memorial and the thickness of a five-course memorial.

Zhu Xu took it, opened it and said, "Let's talk about the specific arrangement of the conference first."

Bi Ziyan looked at Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting got up, and before he could speak, Zhu Xu pressed his hands and said, "Sit down and talk, from now on, no matter whether it's in the cabinet room or the Qianqing Palace, sit and talk, let's talk." .”

Sun Chuanting was slightly stunned, so he had to sit back and said, "Yes. The ministers and others plan that officials at all levels will enter the arena one by one. After the emperor enters the arena, they will perform the national anthem first, and then the emperor, cabinet ministers, and six ministers will take the oath, and then the ministers will Come to preside over the first agenda, Mr. Bi Ge read out the "New Deal" plan, and all the people participating in the big meeting were divided into five groups according to the east, west, north, south, and middle, and discussed again to fill in the gaps. Then, the six ministers, the Governor's Council , the chief officials of Dali Temple, the Royal Bank, etc. read their plans in turn, and the five groups discussed again, and the final decision was made, and it was published by the court newspaper, and the big discussion was over."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, basically following his train of thought.

This is the first official parliament. Although it is still very rough, it is just a process of "issued orders", but it is already a good start.

Zhu Xu looked at the memorial drafted by the cabinet. The format was still the four categories of "Scholar, Agriculture, Industry and Commerce", and then there were subdivisions below, eloquently speaking, covering almost everything from system reform, agricultural planning, to economic generalization, which was quite grand. .

They are all in classical Chinese, and many things in them are very obscure and can be explained and understood in many ways. If you want to understand, you need to figure it out carefully. Even Zhu Xu has a little difficulty trying to distinguish the attitude of the cabinet.

Bi Ziyan and the others looked at Zhu Xu frowning, feeling uneasy.

Zhu Xu looked at it for a while, and understood roughly that the cabinet had blurred some of the "focus" issues of the "New Deal". opportunity to argue.

Zhu Xu put down the playbook, tapped his fingers on the table slowly, and his eyes flickered.

For the cabinet, he has high hopes. The promotion of the "New Deal" cannot be done by him alone, and the cabinet needs to take the lead.The current cabinet still has not reached the level he requested, with insufficient authority and limited capabilities.

"Perhaps, uncle, Zhou Yingqiu must join the cabinet as soon as possible."

Zhu Xu murmured in his heart that the local governors now hold the power, and the imperial government's control over the localities still comes from the local governors. The cabinet must be able to suppress the local governors' offices, otherwise things will only get half the result with half the effort.

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and the others were a little apprehensive. The Qianqing Palace has been too peaceful recently, and the tranquility made them feel uneasy.

Zhu Xu shrank his fingers sharply, looked up at them, and said: "First, the cabinet must show a firm and unshakable attitude towards the 'New Deal'! Second, for the Supervisory Council, Dali Temple, prisons The development of the company must be the top priority and should not be taken lightly! Third, the "New Deal" is absolutely impossible to turn back or cancel, and any delusion must be dispelled! Fourth, the "New Deal" can be overdone, but must not shrink back. Conservative, stagnant! Fifth, the "New Deal" is a tentative plan for the next four years. My request is that within ten years, all the strategies of the "New Deal" must be completed. Anyone who obstructs my state affairs, I will never agree Allow!"

Of these five rules, one is stricter than the other!

Bi Ziyan and the other five looked at each other with solemn expressions on their brows.

Those governors said that their cabinet was eager, but they didn't know that the emperor in front of him was even more radical.

Bi Ziyan waited for Zhu Xu to finish speaking, hesitated a little, got up and said: "The emperor's words, I will bear in mind. Regarding the 'New Deal' plan, does the emperor have other instructions?"

Zhu Xu pushed this memorial to Bi Ziyan, saying: "Written clearly for vague places, and the tone must be strict. We must not give the local government any room for stealing and cheating. We must force them to do things that they are not willing to do. If you don’t dare to touch it, you must force them to deal with it. The ‘New Deal’ is only once, and everything must be dealt with cleanly. After this period of time, it is impossible to make up for it in the future!”

Seeing that Zhu Xu didn't intervene directly, Bi Ziyan was secretly startled. He quickly took the memorandum and said, "Yes, I will discuss it after I go back and finish the speech before tomorrow."
