My Daming New Empire

Carl Soli is a man and cannot enter the palace casually, but there are far fewer restrictions on women.Mrs. Zhang couldn't stand her mother, so she had to send someone to pick up Sophia.

When Zhu Zhanji returned to the palace in the afternoon, he saw his younger sister surrounded by a foreign woman in the palace, and she was so ashamed that she had nowhere to hide, so she knew who it was.

Not to mention, Zhang Wu has a good eye.This Sofia looks a bit like that Inter Milan godmother Canalis, not to mention beautiful, because it conforms to the oriental aesthetics, which adds a bit of temptation.

Of course, women in this era are not as independent and flamboyant as later generations. Although this Sophia is beautiful, she also looks weak.

"His Highness is back, it's freezing outside, come inside to warm up."

Zhu Zhanji glanced at the women in the room, and said with a smile: "I have just returned to the palace, and I heard that my grandmother and aunt are here, so I will come to say hello to my elder brother first. After I change my clothes, I will go to see my uncle and them."

The old lady has been waiting for Zhu Zhanji for a long time. Although she is quite satisfied with this woman, she still can't accept it when she thinks of her great-grandson with deep eyes and high nose.

It is not impossible for her to accept this woman, but she must make a promise from this grandson.Otherwise, she would not even agree to it.

The old lady was not reluctant, and followed Zhu Zhanji out to send Zhu Zhanji out of the apse of the Wenhua Palace. "His Royal Highness really wants to make this decision for Zhang Wu? I think that they will have children with sunken eyes and high noses in the future, so they will not be able to pass this hurdle."

Zhu Zhanji was very clear about the old lady's mentality, and she softened her with one sentence. "Grandmother, don't worry, I will take good care of the two brothers Zhang Wei and Zhang Wu in the future. Zhang Wei has a title, and Zhang Wu will at least be an earl in the future. In Nanzhou, I also reserved a large gold mine for the Zhang family. Let Zhang Wu go and guard it for me."

The Nanzhou Gold Mine has been in the Ming Dynasty for the past two years. Even the rural farmers know about it. Many people want to go to Nanzhou to pan for gold, let alone the old lady.

The old lady couldn't express her refusal, so she could only say: "The Zhang family is not very prosperous. Your uncle only has two brothers, and Zhang Wei and his generation only have five brothers. The two are still young, so there is no hope. Don't want a big gold mine. If the Zhang family gets a smaller one with some money to live on, I will be satisfied."

Zhu Zhanji liked the mentality of the old lady, and said with a smile: "I will take care of the Zhang family and let the Zhang family flourish."

The old lady was satisfied, and Zhang Wu went to Nanzhou in the future, but he only took one look and missed one.Thinking of how I gave him a slap just now, I also felt uncomfortable.

The old lady's side is easy to pass, but Zhu Di's level is not easy to pass.

Agreeing to the marriage between Zhang Wu and the Xiyi people is tantamount to opening a hole in Daming's current ethnic policy.

Because Zhang Wu is not an ordinary person, as the second son of the Earl's Mansion, Zhu Zhanji promised to give him a title.Then their children may inherit the title in the future, which violates the rules established by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because in this era, the Mongolian and Yuan people were expelled, and it was the most prosperous period of imperial Han thought.

Not to mention the Xiyi people, even the children born in the southwest have their inheritance rights halved. This halving is not a halving that treats everyone equally.

Because now there is a distinction between the concubine and the concubine, and there is also the eldest son inheritance system.

First of all, the family property is inherited by the concubines. The children of the concubines have only a small amount of inheritance rights. Generally, when the elders have not passed away, some of the family property will be divided out, and the main property of the family will never be distributed to them.

The children of native concubines are half the number of children of other concubines, not half of the children of concubines.

Now that Xiyi women are allowed to be legal wives, there will be a lot of bad debts in the future.

It is also for this reason that Zhu Di pays special attention to this matter now.

Zhu Zhanji didn't think about this aspect at first, because all the women of different races he had found before were all sterile.

Now being reminded by Zhu Di, I realized that this is not just a marriage, but a confrontation with tradition.

Suddenly, Zhu Zhanji regretted it a little.

Zhu Di didn't want Zhu Zhanji to convince himself, but to let Zhu Zhanji realize the meaning behind it.

"Under the whole world, is it the land of the king; on the shore of the land, is it the subject of the king." Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, but he couldn't come up with a good countermeasure.He could only say: "Grandson will think about it these days, how to proceed."

Zhu Diqi said: "Since you are already aware of the difficulties, why persist?"

"Because today's Daming is not the former Daming. The previous Daming didn't even have Mobei. Now Mobei, Qinghai-Tibet, and Jiaozhi have all become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, leaving only the Northwest... Moreover, Dongying, Nanzhou, Nanyang, etc., we There are not many Han people now, and if we want to turn these places into the stable territory of our Ming Dynasty, we must make changes."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Your idea is good, but you will face many criticisms!"

"The road has to be taken step by step, and the grandson will not directly choose to fight. At worst, let Zhang Wu go to Nanzhou to hide for a few years, and wait for the grandson to feel that the time is right, and then work on it."

"Okay!" Zhu Di couldn't help but slapped his legs and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that you are young and energetic, and you will insist on everything. Many times, you have to learn to be roundabout when doing things, and haste makes waste! Can you have such an idea? , I'm relieved."

Zhu Zhanji was full of thoughts, but he didn't hear what Zhu Di said, because he had decided to let Zhu Zhanji supervise the country instead of letting Zhu Gaochi supervise the country.

Zhu Di took out the rules of procedure of the Ming court written by Zhu Zhanji, and said: "The more I read the rules you wrote, the more I think it is well written and thoughtful. But this is a set of rules after all, and things are dead. Yes, people are alive. How to implement it, I am still at a loss. For example, this debate principle, do I need to be the balancer every court meeting?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Of course not, Grandpa Huang, you are the final arbiter and do not participate in the debate. The person who balances the position can be appointed by the chief officials of the six ministries in turn, or a person with high morals and prestige can be selected, but it must be done every few years. Change."

"Why?"

"Because this position is very important, if you hold it for a long time, I am afraid that you will eventually become the prime minister."

When Zhu Di thought about it, it was true. It was good that the chief officials of the six ministries took turns. If there was only one person, he would have the power to discuss affairs in the court, and he would naturally have a way to make things develop in the direction he wanted.

He deliberately said: "Actually, I also thought about resuming the post of prime minister..."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "It doesn't matter whether there is a prime minister or not, because the power of the prime minister is inversely proportional to the emperor's ability. If the emperor is wise, the prime minister's natural rights will become smaller. To be able to stand above the emperor. The key is the system..."

"Then what kind of system do you think is the best system?"

Zhu Zhanji didn't need to think about such a problem at all, and said directly: "There is no best system, only the most suitable system. The so-called good and bad are only relative."

Zhu Di was taken aback, and asked, "If you were to be the emperor, what would you do? What would you choose to do?"

There were no outsiders in the study, only Wang Yan, Li Qian, Li Liang, and Jin Kuo.Zhu Zhanji nodded his head in the direction of the door, Zhu Di also nodded, and they all went out.

Zhu Zhanji said in a low voice: "The grandson will divide the current court into four, and no one is in charge. Only the grandson can control the overall situation."

Zhu Di was really stunned for a moment, completely unable to guess Zhu Zhanji's train of thought.

Chapter 9 Governance Policy

As if he didn't see Zhu Di's surprise, Zhu Zhanji said without changing his expression: "Six years ago, my grandson talked with Grandpa Huang about what an emperor is. Grandpa Huang still remembers it?"

Zhu Di let out a long sigh. Zhu Zhanji has given him too much confidence in the past years. Whatever he wants to do, he has never failed.

Whether it was using a Beimingshan copper mine to disintegrate the power of the grassland, or conquering Japan in the name of suppressing the Japanese, or this time the expansion of Nanzhou was a feat that was comparable to the world.

Although this grandson is still young and occasionally acts a little carelessly, he can definitely be called outstanding talent.

Regardless of experience, Zhu Di felt that he was inferior to him, so he didn't rush to ask, but patiently waited for him to elaborate.

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, he said with a smile: "The low-ranking ones work hard, the middle-ranking ones work hard, and the high-ranking ones work hard. In addition, the theory of resources and information control is still fresh in my memory.

Over the years, you have built factories, developed the army, opened up gold and silver mines in various places, transported large quantities of grain from Nanyang back to China, and improved the treatment of craftsmen, all of which are effective use of resources.Except for personnel issues, I never interfere with this, just want to see how far you can go.

You set up the Advisory Department, control Jinyiwei, secretly monitor various places, and obtain information as quickly as possible. This is the control of information.I don't intervene very often, because your thoughts and ideas are correct, and I am gratified by the achievements you have made. "

Facing his grandfather, Zhu Zhanji laughed, half-acting, half-sincerely saying: "This is what a grandson should do. Born in the royal family, enjoying rich clothes and fine food, naturally he should also bear his own responsibilities."

Zhu Di nodded and said: "So, if you have any ideas, you can tell me directly. As long as it is beneficial to my Daming and my Zhu family, I will support you. I am already sixty now, and this position I can't sit still for a few years, but I still want to see you in the future, if you can clear the way for you before going to see your ancestors, even if you kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, I will not give up!"
