Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"Hey, if my wife hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought of this. It doesn't necessarily mean he'll be sent to the army. He could be sent to quarry or mine."

Zhu Gaochi slapped his head and smiled at Zhang Xin, ignoring Zhu Di's anger.

"It's terrible! Zhang continued, "Martial Arts Examination."

Zhu Di especially wanted to pull up a screen to block the face of his fat son who was smiling like a flower with his front teeth bared.

"I was thinking, now that the maritime ban has been lifted, someone has to fight the pirates on the sea, and someone has to catch the smuggling fleets that have not passed through the Maritime Customs. In the past, they only guarded the borders, and the coastal defense caught pirates from time to time, but it is not the same to risk your life to go to sea. A permanent navy must be built. In a few years, there will definitely not be enough military officers. It is not timely to promote them now. It is better to use the Imperial College in the capital mainly to train military officers. The Imperial College will be put to use, and there will not be a bunch of students who only have a mouth. Mom, what do you think?"

Zhang Xin had just sent Zhang Chang and Li Jinglong away.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars are about to float in the sea.

Why does this sea voyage cost so much?

In addition to the expensive ships, the weapons are also expensive!

The artillery must be installed, the fire control system must be available, rockets, kerosene, firearms, swords, guns, sticks and clubs must all be brought.

Otherwise, it might have been caught as soon as it left the shore's sight.

Coastal defense must be strengthened.

Zhu Gaoxu once said that most of the pirates were actually Ming people.

Once the Ming Dynasty's navy is established, it will surely become famous.

The pirates around here will naturally disappear.

Whether going to other sea areas to harm others or transforming yourself into a maritime merchant, it is all a good thing.

"I think Xin'er is right!" Xu covered her mouth and laughed, and added, "The content of the martial arts exam was too simple in the past. It tested archery on horseback and on foot. It's time now. It's useless to shoot at a cannon from a distance. Running speed can be tested separately. Then how to sail on the sea, how to fight a naval battle, how to control a ship, how to use firearms. Everything is homework."

"That's true. I'll think about it before I do anything about it. You guys continue talking."

Zhu Di stroked his beard to show his agreement.

Zhang Xin raised her hand.

"Dad, there is one more thing. The money for the martial arts exam is too little. You are poor in literature but rich in martial arts. You have practiced martial arts for so many years and spent so much money. But if you pass the exam, you only get two to three dan of rice per month... This is unacceptable."

"I know. Those who can fight are poor, like me, your father!"

Zhu Di looked at Xu with resentment.

His inner treasury was taken away by Xu.

The formal kind...

The national treasury belonged to the previous dynasty, and the inner treasury belonged to the harem. As an emperor, he had nothing. . .

Although he had no place to spend the money, he really had no money.

Sometimes when he wanted to give Xu a little surprise or something, he had to use Zhu Zhanji’s money. . . .

"Hmm? What do you mean? Unsatisfied?"

Xu understood and looked at Zhu Di sideways.

"No, Fatty, keep talking, what else do you have?"

Zhu Di quickly changed the subject.

"The names of the descendants of the princes of various places who need to choose their spouses have just been handed in today. Select a few of the better ones from these people and bring them to the capital, grant them some official positions, and marry them to the daughters of court officials."

Zhu Gaochi used his ultimate move.

"Your royal grandfather's coffin lid can hardly hold it down!"

Zhu Di stared.

This is absolutely against the ancestral etiquette and laws.

During Zhu Gaochi's term, his father went all over the country to arrange for the distribution of the gifts.

In the following generations, his father didn't have the energy, so he came up with a whole set of marriage regulations.

A wedding in a royal palace.

First, he would work with the chief secretary, attendant, professor and other officials of the royal palace to select people with clean family backgrounds and outstanding personalities in the territory.

Second, it is only after review by the local inspector that permission can be sought from the imperial court.

Third, after the royal palace requested approval, the imperial court sent envoys to confer titles and bestow different titles and treatments according to the rank of the person.

In other words, now everyone has to find their own husband and wife.

What if he interferes again?

"In the early days, the royal family married daughters and daughters in a completely different way. We are only changing back to the path that our royal grandfather had taken."

Zhu Gaochi had a plan in mind. The princes that the previous princesses married were of very good quality. The princes that the previous princes, including the crown prince, also married daughters of dukes and marquises.

This path was getting narrower and narrower as his royal grandfather had taken it.

You keep defending yourself, but you don't defend what you should defend.

"That's the truth."

Xu nodded in agreement.

"The Queen is choosing?"

Zhu Di didn't want to do this job.

"Okay, I'll choose something that's about right, so that all the civil and military officials in the court will want to report their children of marriageable age. I have another idea. Regarding the issue of reducing the power of the princes, it's better to change the way of thinking. The throne should not be hereditary, but should be reduced from generation to generation. When it comes to the lowest rank, the children of the royal family can take the imperial examinations, the military examinations, and become officials. Don't be stupid and eat and drink."

Xu thought it was no problem, as she had nothing to do anyway so she could take care of it.

"Mom, this is a great move!"

Zhu Gaochi gave a thumbs up.

"Stirring up a pool of water? Great!"

Zhu Di also understood.

No matter how much trouble the literati make, or how much trouble they cause behind the scenes, the royal family still has to use them.

Since they are going to use them, then they can use marriage to bring the royal family members into the interest network of the literati group.

This makes the network even more complicated.

Whose son married a princess, and whose daughter married the emperor's grandson.

The relationships between countless people became complicated in an instant.

The closeness of their kinship and the continuation of their bloodline make it possible for them to help and cooperate with each other, but also possible for them to be wary of and hinder each other.

His father wanted purity and wanted to prevent external relatives from interfering in politics, so he took strict precautions.

But if the daughter-in-law does this, when the court is full of foreign relatives, both civil and military officials, won’t the waters be muddy?

To bet on everything is the same as not betting at all.

"There is a problem here. Buried alive with the emperor. Several princesses and princesses of counties were buried alive with the emperor before. Ministers may not agree to this. But it's hard to say. I think the trend in the capital is that women are insignificant. If a daughter dies, you can have another child. If a daughter-in-law dies, you can marry another man."

Xu reminded.

"You can ask me when the time comes. I'm not someone who can't be discussed with. It's ok to avoid being buried alive with the dead. Do you have any other ideas? Go on!"

Zhu Di didn't think it was a problem.

He actually doesn't care about being buried alive.

His father took so many people with him, but he actually suspected that Zhu Yunwen used his father's mouth to kill all those people in the palace who knew the truth.

He couldn't open the coffin and perform an autopsy on his father's death.

Anyway, there is no evidence to prove the crime.

"Just the few things I just mentioned are enough to keep you busy for a few days. That's all. You can go back now. Your daughter-in-law is still pregnant!"

Xu glared at Zhu Di and started to drive people away.

Zhang Xin and Zhu Gaochi readily withdrew.

After returning to her residence, Zhang Xin was indeed a little tired.

After washing up, I lay down on the bed.

When I closed my eyes, I silently crossed out one of the things I had planned to accomplish.

This item is the training of military generals and military officers.

In many things, when the father-in-law is in power, resistance is not considered resistance at all.
