Capital, Forbidden City, Ganqing Palace.
"No gifts, give seats." Zhu Youxiao put away his trance thoughts, and He Xi's smile appeared on his face.
The one who knelt down to pay homage to the court was Zhu Yousong, the prince of Fu, and Zhu Youxiao's cousin, who came from Luoyang to welcome his grandmother on behalf of his father.
"I thank you for your kindness, long live long-lastingness." Zhu Yousong stood up and sat down respectfully on the embroidery pier brought by the palace servants.
Debauchery, incompetent, and corrupt, and the stigmatization of the toad emperor. I wonder if it is true, or the hatred and smear of those "gentlemen" in Donglin and Fushe?
Zhu Youxiao looked at the "little toad" again, suppressed all kinds of guesses in his heart, and said Wen Yan: "Is the emperor in good health?"
Zhu Yousong hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your care, my father is in great health."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "If you have nothing to do, you should still exercise more. Don't stay in the mansion all the time, it will not be good for your health."
"Yes, the Holy Word cares about you, I will tell my father."
Zhu Youxiao continued: "The Regulations on the Religious Affairs of the Clans have been revised, and the zong studies in the capital must also be established. Those who want to do things and want to rely on their own strength can enter the zong studies and learn a skill. What about the emperor's brother, can he have this intention?"
Zhu Yousong blinked his eyes and bowed, "My brother is also willing to serve the country. When I take my grandmother back, I ask my father to give it permission and come to the sect to study."
Perfunctory! Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes unaware, smiled and said, "It's so great. How can the descendants of Zhu's family eat the wealth of the people and live a life without any intention of being ambitious?"
After chatting for a few more words, Zhu Youxiao also lost the interest in continuing to talk to Zhu Yousong, and ordered Zhu Yousong to retreat. He ordered the palace servant to inform Concubine Zheng and prepare to leave the palace.
Zhu Yousong could not come to the capital for free, so he donated 100,000 yuan to the court to build a famous minister's pavilion and a temple of Martyrs. Although Zhu Yousong accepted the donation with a smile, he did not change his existing plans.
Zhu Youxiao had already made plans to gradually resolve the parasitic class of the vassal state, and there was not much unbearable or ashamed.
Who made him just hold the body of the surname "Zhu", but always the soul of the surname "Ye"!
Of course, it is not that simple and easy to have a group of "pigs" learn to support themselves. Who is willing to work hard and tired if you can eat together?
After sending the little toad away, Zhu Youxiao ordered the palace servants to give the imperial edict to commend Dong Qichang, a great calligrapher who returned from Japan.
There are many bad comments about Dong Qichang's character in later generations. One is that he is greedy, and the other is that he is called a bully who is rampant in the village because of the people's copying Dong Huan.
But Zhu Youxiao's thinking is different from others and his views are also different.
Let’s talk about the incident of the people copying Dong Huan. Dong Qichang has a son who cheated on his father and probably didn’t run away, so it’s just a matter of forcing his daughter to marry someone else.
But in the end, the so-called villagers burned hundreds of houses and pavilions in Dong's mansion, causing Dong Qichang to take refuge in Suzhou, Zhenjiang, Danyang and other places in panic, but he could see what a bully should look like.
Think about the place where something happened, Songjiang Prefecture is not the place where the gentry and the students are rampant? Not only do they incite trouble without any rules, but they also compile and write articles for you, so that your infamy will be passed on forever!
Besides, Dong Qichang was greedy and despicable, so Zhu Youxiao didn't take it seriously. He did not accept bribes and made a lot of money with his calligraphy and painting. That's his own ability?
Oh, what other masters of calligraphy and painting regard money as dirt, do not bow to money and power, and give it to calligraphy and painting, which is called noble character?
But if Dong Qichang doesn’t write money or gifts, he becomes a greedy villain and has a bad character?
Who doesn’t like money? A gentleman loves money and gets it in a good way.
Old man makes money by his real ability, and he can't afford to pay! If he wants to give it to you for nothing, then he is a good person and a gentleman?
As a lecturer of Zhu Youxiao's father Guangzong, Lao Dong was left homeless and had to take charge of the Imperial Master in the capital and was ordered to compile the "Records of the Emperor Shenzong".
Zhu Youxiao sent Dong Qichang to serve as an envoy, which was also optimistic about his calligraphy and painting. What about North Korea and Japan, and the most awesome calligraphy and painting masters in the Celestial Kingdom, wouldn’t they worship him?
As it turns out, Zhu Youxiao’s choice is quite correct.
The courtesy that Master Dong received in North Korea and Japan was not ordinary; the money he received was not ordinary.
Especially in Japan, generals and daimyos were all here to give gifts, just to ask Master Dong to write calligraphy and paintings as heirlooms.
Of course, Master Dong, who received the money from the car, did not forget to send the money to the palace first. According to his meaning, whether it is 30% off, 40% off, or 40% off, or all in it, the emperor, you have the final say.
Seeing that the old Dong Ting was at the forefront, Zhu Youxiao was not polite, so he made a half-pointer and added Master Dong the title of Minister of Rites and was in charge of the Zhan Shi Mansion.
At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also gave up the idea of keeping Lao Dong in the house and writing and painting every day to make a lot of money.
This recent entry is really gratifying, which makes Zhu Youxiao feel very happy.
Like Li Dan and Yan Siqi Jin, can you have two claws empty? I feel embarrassed to hold them too little.
In addition, by taking advantage of the remnant heat of suppressing the Sinxiang Sect, he overcame more than a dozen gentry from Songjiang and Suzhou prefectures, and only sold out more than three million yuan in silver, and the fields and houses were not counted.
Coupled with Master Dong’s dedication and the gifts given by North Korea and Japan, the money is earned - good!
The key is that all this money can be entered into the treasury, turned into the treasury, and became his private money. Although the treasury has been spending a little in the past few months, it has not been reduced too much.
The Ministry of Revenue has also improved, and there is no need to manage Zhu Youxiao to ask for money. Because the reform of the new Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Li Qiyuan began to see results with the strong support of Zhu Youxiao.
Of course, while seeing the effect, Li Qiyuan also offended the interest groups who were parasitic on the body of the Ming Dynasty to suck blood.
The most objections and criticisms are the "investigation of the supervision yamen and the school fields", "not allowed to supervise scholars and scholars to be exempted from the flow of scholars", "checking the tea law", and "checking the tax deed".
Faced with the abuse and attacks Li Qiyuan was subjected to him, the young emperor did not hesitate to endorse him, and added Prince Li Qiyuan's Shaobao, issued an order for local officials to implement it effectively, and used the imperial court newspaper and the "Ming Ming Forum" to launch a public opinion counterattack.
The young emperor's confidence was getting stronger and stronger, and his temper was getting stronger. This was not for no reason, but his grasp of military power became stronger and stronger.
Because the Four Guards and Warriors Battalions have completed training and have taken over all the garrisons in the capital. Moreover, they will continue to expand until they replace the Beijing Camp.
Chapter completed!
