Zhu Gaochi, who was used to being attacked by Zhu Di, did not take Zhu Di's ridicule seriously at all and drove him away directly:

"Dad, can you please come back? I will discuss this with Master Xia again."

"Oh. Your mother said we should have dinner together tonight."

Zhu Di had already stood up, but then he thought something was wrong.

He was sent out by Xu to take the baby out for a walk and notify his son.

"A little later then?"

Zhu Gaochi discussed it.

He had just been inspired by his little girl's ideas and had a lot of thoughts, so he wanted to discuss them with Xia Yuanji immediately.

"Why don't Yuanji just come and have dinner with us? How stupid!"

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaochi.

He carried Zhu Jiabao and left.

"Oh, Master Xia, together?"

After Zhu Gaochi got the message, he asked Xia Yuanji directly.

"Your Highness, my mother and wife are waiting for me at home."

Xia Yuanji refused.

It's fine if you can't go home after the court session, but if you go to the other courtyard, you may not be able to go home at night. Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi both had the bad habit of keeping their ministers to talk all night.

"What's the big deal? Come on, go to Lord Xia's house and invite the old lady and the lady to live in the other courtyard."

Zhu Gaochi understood the feeling of having to work after leaving court.

But the problem is, he is the boss.

He wants to work, so it's not too much to have someone accompany him.

"Yes, Your Highness..."

Xia Yuanji lowered his head and compromised.

"Arrange a job for your kid?"

Zhu Gaochi knew that Xia Yuanji's second son and youngest son were both relying on their parents for support.

"You are useless. You can't do any job for long."

Xia Yuanji lowered his head even more. He had four sons. The eldest died young, and the second son was an official in Nanjing. The remaining two were annoying to have with him, but he was afraid that he would be upset if he didn't bring them with him.

"The Crown Princess is very short of people, so it doesn't hurt to give it a try."

Zhu Gaochi actually believed that failure in studying did not mean that one was a bad person.

Xia Yuanji was still restrained.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Then, I will ask them to meet the Crown Princess later?"

Xia Yuanji was afraid that his bad child might be deceived and his whole family would be ruined if he entered the court, but there would be no such problem if he went to Zhang Xin.

The jujube given by Zhu Gaochi really hit the nail on the head.

"I'll come tomorrow. I'll just tell the Crown Princess later."

Zhu Gaochi liked to cut the Gordian knot.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Master Xia, what do you think? Can we also exchange the tax grain for treasure notes? How much can we save in river dumping fees in a year?"

"Your Highness, it's hard to say. I'm afraid someone will take him away."

"We can think of a way to store it in our government warehouse first, and as for the rest, they can trade it however they like."

"Your Highness, this method is not something that can be implemented overnight."

"Yes, then—"

The two of them talked as they walked, and they didn't even delay their conversation after getting on the carriage.

After everyone finished their meal at the Xishan Villa, Zhu Di also joined in.

The emperor, the crown prince, and the minister of finance.

We worked on the basic framework of this project overnight.

The specific details still need to be discussed by Xia Yuanji and the cabinet before being filled in item by item.

The countdown to reforming taxes and corvee labor has officially begun.

~~~~

Ming Dynasty, June of the eleventh year of Yongle.

Xishan Bieyuan.

"Uncle Twenty, the book of "Doing Good Deeds" is ready. Just put it on the carriage for you. Dad will be back from court today. Would you like to have lunch with me?"

Zhang Xin is talking to Zhu Song at this moment.

"No, no, no, don't."

Zhu Song's hands were almost shaking, and he was completely resisting the idea of ​​having dinner with his brother.

If he wanted to see his fourth brother, he would go directly to Zhu Di to ask for the book. Why would he go around asking Zhang Xin?

Back then, his own father didn't really care about him.

Whether it's studying or riding and shooting, it's almost the same, just muddle through.

But now this brother, the emperor, is more lenient to him than his biological father.

Ever since he came out of the Imperial College, his nose is no longer a nose and his eyes are no longer eyes.

There are some sarcastic remarks in every word.

Although he knew in his heart that his fourth brother always spoke in this tone, the kind that could choke people to death.

But the feeling of being choked!

Whoever wants to suffer can suffer!

He was also accused of not doing his job properly when he was working for the Beijing News.

Last time, there was a mistake in a word in an article in the Beijing News, and his fourth brother wanted to send him back to the main hall for retraining. . .

"Okay, then I won't send Uncle Twenty off."

Zhang Xin doesn't force it.

I watched Zhu Song leave and continued to read today's "Beijing News".

【The "Taizu Shilu" was completed. This book has 257 volumes, divided into 250 volumes. There is also the "Taizu Baoxun" with 15 volumes, divided into 15 volumes. 】

【Japan and Korea sent envoys to express their apology, saying that they were not aware that their own people were harassing the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, and that they were willing to pay tribute as before to pardon their crimes. The emperor pardoned their crimes because of their submissive words and ordered the Ministry of Rites in the capital to entertain the envoys of the two countries.】

【The emperor ordered the compilation of the county annals of the whole country. Xia Yuanji, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the capital, Yang Rong, the Imperial Academy Scholar and the Right Spring Office Bastard, and Jin Youzi, the Imperial Academy Scholar and the Right Spring Office Right Instructor, were in charge of this matter. Officials were also sent to various places to widely mourn the historical materials and old annals.】

【Compilation of "The Yinzhi of Doing Good" is completed.】

Zhang Xin's daily sources of information were no longer limited to the court bulletins and what Zhu Gaochi mentioned when he returned.

The Beijing News would be delivered to her first every day.

Most of the time, she only needed to read the brief news in the Beijing News to know the progress of various affairs in the court.

"The Veritable Records of Taizu" and "The Treasured Instructions of Taizu" were completed much earlier than the previous book, and have not been revised again and again.

Zhu Di originally wanted to wipe out Zhu Yunwen directly, including this Jingnan Campaign which lasted only two years.

Being criticized for his illegitimate position is just a small matter.

Zhu Di felt that Zhu Yunwen was almost a disgrace to the Zhu family.

There is no need to publicize family shame.

But my mother-in-law said that everything that exists must leave traces.

There will be no fools who read history books in the future.

Moreover, if Zhu Yunwen is erased, it would be impossible to explain the brutality of the previous emperor in the late Hongwu period.

There was no premise for supporting Zhu Yunwen, a fool, to the throne. The late emperor killed so many founding heroes, and future generations might regard the late emperor as a tyrant and a villain.

Keeping Zhu Yunwen around at least saved the late emperor's face.

It is also very embarrassing to talk about the fact that the late emperor and the late crown prince were plotted against.

No matter how future generations evaluate Zhu Di, the man who stole the throne, it can be regarded as a discredit on himself for being filial to the late emperor.

Zhang Xin was convinced anyway.

The mother-in-law always finds new ways to change some of the actions of her father-in-law in the previous life.

Therefore, "Taizu Shilu" was completed six years earlier.

As for Japan and North Korea's apology, the newspaper wrote very bluntly: "Using ignorance as an excuse"

This message from Uncle Twenty is very well written.

Zhu Zhanji should have reached the border between Liaodong and North Korea by now.

My father-in-law pardoned them, which actually means that Japan and North Korea are guilty.

The envoys were entertained here, while they were punished there.

Everything falls into place.
