The road to the emperor begins with farming

Luo Yu solved Heyan's rebellion, and then sent them to other places to burn, kill and loot. After getting rid of a serious problem, he returned to the capital with Luo Zhan and other generals to reward them.

The two made such great achievements in battle, and Luo Zhan was awarded the title of General of the Second Rank Zhenguo and named Marquis of Weining.Luo Yu, he doesn't care about rewards.Anyway, he is already a prince, and no one can control him except the emperor's father.As for money, he has enough money as long as he wants to earn it.People, don't you live for money and power, since you have both, what else do you think about.

Although Luo Yu didn't want a reward, Emperor Hongyou insisted on giving it to him, and he couldn't do without it.

Luo Yu, who thought that after the war, he could finally enjoy the life of husband and wife and spend a few days in the world of the two of them, listened with a dazed expression to his emperor's father saying that he would pass on the throne to him and become the Supreme Emperor himself.Of course, Emperor Hongyou was not so frenzied, and only said that after he could handle the government affairs alone, he would go sightseeing with Yun Ci and not ask about political affairs.

Emperor Hongyou said earnestly, "Yu'er, I will entrust this great country and thousands of people to you. You must guard it well, and don't let me down."

Luo Yu went up and hugged Emperor Hongyou's thigh, crying, "Father, don't!"

The emperor's father is going to give up the pick, and the pick is still left to him, he can't survive.

At that time, Yun Ci was also sitting on the side listening to their father and son talking. When he saw Luo Yu Sapo, he slapped him on the head and reprimanded, "What are you crying for? If you don't know, your father is dead."

Emperor Hongyou looked at his queen with complicated emotions. How could this be compared? How could it be said that he was dead. He just wanted to enjoy life with the queen and prepare to live a good life.

Seeing his son's tearful tears, Yunci couldn't bear it, and comforted him, "It's not just to be an emperor, but it's not like the sky is falling. You see, your father has been an emperor for almost 20 years, and he didn't do it well."

Luo Yu choked up and said, "Then why didn't Father continue to do it?"

"It's not for me." Yun Ci smiled, "You also know that I have been separated from your father for more than ten years, and we will spend less and less time together in the future, so we have to hurry up and enjoy it. Are you Our son naturally has to share his father's worries." Seeing his son's complexion, he hurriedly comforted him, "You also have a son, and when you don't want to be emperor, pass it on to your son."

Luo Yu was even more sad after hearing this, "Yun Dabao is only one year old, ah one year old!"

"Children grow up very fast, and they will grow up in a few years." Yun Ci said without sincerity.

Luo Yu didn't want to talk to him anymore, and turned his head to try his best to persuade the emperor's father to get rid of this dangerous idea, "Father, didn't we discuss it last time, my son doesn't want to be an emperor, he just wants to be an idle king. Father You are still so young, how can you abdicate immediately? You must know that this country needs you, the courtiers need you, the people need you, and your son needs you even more! If you want to enjoy the two-person world with your father, you can enjoy it in the palace. .My son told you that there is really nothing to see outside, and you have to travel and travel, and you are very tired..."

Emperor Hongyou was a little shaken, but looked at Yunci, and said firmly: "I have made up my mind, so there is no need to say more. I will decree to abdicate soon, you just wait to be the emperor."

"No." Luo Yu was anxious, "Father, isn't there still King Yan? Why do you have to pass the throne to me?"

"Did you forget that King Qi borrowed a sword to kill you?" Emperor Hongyou was a little helpless. Although he didn't want to make it too clear, he was afraid that this stupid son would not have the heart to guard against others. Do you know that he will not be the first to attack you after ascension to the throne? As long as you are alive, he will regard you as the biggest threat to the throne."

Luo Yu: "..." We promised to be brothers, but you guys always want to stab me in the back.

Emperor Hongyou: "If you don't want to be on guard against being calculated by others every day, you should be the emperor if you don't."

Luo Yu had no choice but to think about it.Indeed, as the emperor's father said, he was really afraid that King Yan would kill him as soon as he came to power.Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Father Luo and the relatives and friends around him.They have long been labeled as the King Rui's party, how can King Yan let them go when he ascends the throne.

So, don't be cowardly, just do it.Who said Luo Yu couldn't be an emperor anymore?

But...he thinks it can be delayed for a few more years.

Luo Yu plunged into Emperor Hongyou's arms, and said shamelessly: "But my son is only 17 years old, he is not yet an adult, and he doesn't know anything about being an emperor. It is a country, how can you rest assured that it will be handed over to me immediately?" , You are too irresponsible."

Emperor Hongyou hugged his son and sighed, "Yu'er, you have grown up, you even have a child, it's time to stand up."

Yun Ci really couldn't see his son's playful and shameless appearance, and scolded: "Get up, you are so grown up and still acting like a baby."

Luo Yu hugged the emperor's father wildly, "It doesn't matter, the son is still a child, with the emperor and father around, the son will never grow up."

Emperor Hongyou liked his tricks very much, his heart was softened by the trouble, and he felt that he was still too anxious.His son is just 17 years old, and he didn't understand anything before.Forget it, he can still work for a few more years. "Then if I don't abdicate, how about making you the crown prince first? From now on, you can study with me, and ask any questions you don't understand."

"Don't you have Luo Zhan, you can ask him to do something." Yunci was very angry, the travel plan he had agreed to was ruined, and he didn't know how many years he would be dragged down by his poor son.

Luo Yu said: "My son is reluctant to let my brother be tired."

Yun Ci was furious, "Then you are willing to tire your father?"

"Also... I can't bear it either." Luo Yu peeked at his father and added in his heart that he couldn't bear my brother even more.

Yun Ci knew at a glance that his son was speaking without sincerity, so he slapped him hard, and complained to his man: "Why do you think I gave birth to such a heartless son?"

Emperor Hongyou said with a smile: "Then let's have another one, this time we must give birth to a conscientious one."

Yun Ci: "..." I don't want to talk, I'm so tired.

Luo Yu has long been used to the two fathers showing affection from time to time, and sat quietly on the side, waiting for them to think of his heartless son.

Fortunately, Emperor Hongyou quickly remembered the business, and said, "Yu'er, if you want to live a more comfortable life, you can change some things that you think are unreasonable while I am still in office, and I can give you everything." carry around."

"Good father."

Luo Yu doesn't know anything about government affairs now, so he has to observe for a while before speaking.

The next day, Luo Yu began to study with Emperor Hongyou.

Being dug out of the warm bed before dawn, Luo Yu felt that the first thing to change was the early court system.

The early days of Great Yin began at Yinshi (5:3 a.m.), the emperor could be better, but the courtiers would be miserable.They had to get up at midnight and cross half of the capital to the Meridian Gate.At 5 o'clock in the morning, the courtiers arrived outside the Meridian Gate and waited.When the drum on the Meridian Gate Tower rang, the courtiers had to line up; when the bell rang around [-] o'clock in the morning, the palace gates opened and all officials entered in turn.

Going to court in the middle of the night without going to sleep is not conducive to health preservation, nor is it humanitarian.So it must be changed!

Morning court doesn't have to happen every day, how can there be so many things to discuss in morning court every day.Besides, isn't there still a memorial?So in the early stage, it can be changed to once every seven days, exactly one week.Now Dayin's off-duty system is one day off every ten days, Luo Yu decided to change it to a single off-duty system, with one day off for six days of work.Depending on the future situation, it will be changed to a weekend.

In addition, the morning time should not be too early, it can be changed to start at [-] am.The courtiers all woke up, and then came to the court full of energy after having breakfast.

In fact, the early dynasty is not a very important system.You must know that Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty has not been in court for 30 years, so he has not managed the country well.

After Luo Yu expressed his thoughts, Emperor Hongyou felt that the matter was not serious, so he discussed with the courtiers, and he really changed it.Anyway, the emperor will be his son in the future, so it's up to him to decide.

Afterwards, after watching the memorial with the emperor's father all morning, Luo Yu felt that this must also be rectified.

The memorials sent to the imperial court have been preliminarily processed by the first assistant, Luo Changling, and they have been simply classified according to the priority, and notes will be posted in the important memorials to write their handling opinions.

However, it is still not enough.

First of all, although the memorials presented by the courtiers are beautiful in writing and rhetoric, they are too much nonsense.For example, there is a memorial to a local disaster. Although the incident has been written, there are also a lot of messy things written. Isn't this a waste of time?Therefore, the writing of the memorial should be concise and to the point.

Second, punctuation must be used, otherwise it will be too strenuous to read.In a word, punctuation and no punctuation may have two meanings, which can easily cause misunderstandings.Punctuation must be universal.

Also, in order to reduce the workload, Luo Yu felt that it was not enough to have Father Luo alone as the Chief Assistant. In front of the table, the chief assistant will pick out some, and the rest can be sent to the imperial court, so that the memorials that need to be reviewed by him can be greatly reduced.

Emperor Hongyou also fully cooperated with his son's suggestions now, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

In addition to the work that the emperor had to do during his working hours, the rest was how to govern a country well.This is not a problem for Luo Yu, after all, we have rich advanced experience from our predecessors.

Luo Yu remembered seeing it on the Internet, saying that Zhao Kuangyin's philosophy of governing the country was implied in the first sentence of "Hundred Surnames", "Zhao Qian, Sun Li".The surname Zhao is the emperor, which represents the country; the second is money, and the governance of the country must rely on finances; .

Modern ideas generally start from the aspects of politics, economy and society.

No matter what, Luo Yu thinks that people must be the first; money is the second; the contradiction between the landlord class and the peasantry must be reconciled; the army must be in their own hands; finally, education is necessary for a country to develop. culture as support.

He also wanted to be a good emperor and govern the country well, but he didn't want to tire himself out by doing everything himself, so he decided to make good use of the prophets, recruit talents, and let these people manage the country.And what he has to do is to control these people, let them be loyal to the country, and make profits for the people.With these people working for him, he, the emperor, can do it easily.

Of course, people don't work for nothing. In addition to giving power, they also need to give money.

Since ancient times, money has been the foundation of a country.So how do you get rich quick?

Luo Yu felt that the structure of his state-owned department was still too small, and the speed of making money was too slow.In this way, he put his mind on the Japanese country.

Luo Yu remembered that the Iwami Silver Mine in the Wa Kingdom was the largest silver mine in the Wa Kingdom and even the world.The country of Wa became one of the few silver-producing countries in the world, so that in the 17th century, one-third of the world's silver was produced in the country of Wa, and the country of Wa was called the "Silver Islands" for this reason.

It is speculated that from the eighth century to the sixteenth century, the gold output of Wa country was about 255 tons. Before the gold rush in California, the gold mined in the world was 5000 tons. 5%.

Anyway, the gold and silver of the Japanese country were also cheated by the Europeans later, so it is better to let their rich people dig it.It's better to act first.

That is, should he do business with the Japanese country, or should he just go to the door and grab it?

Luo Yu couldn't make his own decisions, so he decided to discuss it with his brother first.

Luo Zhan immediately said: "Then why hesitate, call directly."

"This...is it too straightforward?" After all, Dayin has always claimed to be a state of etiquette.

Luo Zhan snorted coldly, "Don't forget, the Japanese ronin often rob our ships and cargo along the coast, you talk to him about etiquette?"

Luo Yu slapped his thigh, "Then hit me." In the past, it was the Japanese who bullied us, and now we have to let them have a taste of being bullied.

Early the next morning, Luo Yu went into the palace to discuss with his emperor's father how to dig gold back from Wa Kingdom.
