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

When she heard Zhanji talk about this, she knew it must be related to the previous dynasty, which was why Xu followed political affairs so closely and took related classes with Zhanji.

Afterwards, she went to flip through the book.

Sure enough, Zhu Gaochi brought it up today.

Learn and apply it ——

What made the Song Dynasty different from other dynasties was that the imperial court was extensively and deeply involved in various market transactions.

Not to mention salt, wine, tea, and iron, even vinegar and alum were monopolized by the imperial court.

There are also some other small categories, such as medicinal materials and spices, which can only be sold to the outside world by the imperial court.

Therefore, during the Song Dynasty, there were obviously very few famous businessmen because the imperial court directly occupied many high-profit industries.

On the one hand, the Song Dynasty court monopolized high-profit industries, and on the other hand, it adopted a relaxed management approach to the sale of other things.

Things like needles and thread, meat, food, clothing and jewelry can be bought and sold everywhere in the state capital, county and township markets.

Tax rates for various items would also be posted on the city gates for public notice.

It not only lets small merchants know how much they should pay so as to avoid being overcharged, but also lets people who want to do small business know what they should pay so as not to operate at a loss.

The relaxation of taxes on these daily necessities for the people led to active trade among the people, and the economy of the Song Dynasty was able to develop by leaps and bounds.

This practice in the Song Dynasty was actually very similar to the Ming Dynasty Law and Edicts that our emperor’s grandfather had worked out, with one copy for each household.

There are laws and evidence to follow for everything you do.

Let’s not talk about the other ills of the Song Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty could temporarily use things like this by taking back the imperial court's monopoly and relaxing policies on other transactions.

It's better than falling quietly into the hands of those big landlords in the south of the Yangtze River who have been hiding in the dark and controlling the government through court officials.

The emperor now holds military power, but it costs money to maintain an army.

Zhang Xin felt that the late emperor's approach of letting the soldiers fight for their lives when there was a need, and letting the soldiers support him when there was nothing to worry about, was a bit unrighteous.

It’s okay now because the population is small and the land is abundant.

By the time of the Xuande Dynasty, the population had grown and the number of troops was also increasing, so there was not enough land to cultivate.

If there is a shortage of food at that time, the court or the inner treasury will still have to provide it.

You have to listen to whoever you eat the food from. This matter is going to be a quibble again.

"Well, my Dahua will be credited for this. You are quite right!"

Zhu Gaochi was easily persuaded.

This is indeed a good idea. It can keep the money in the hands of the court without changing the tax rate originally set by the emperor's grandfather.

After Prince Ning went to sea, the first thing he said when he came back was: A weak country has no diplomacy.

Things are not peaceful in Annan at all.

After their fleet docked, some people tried to sneak onto the ship and launch a surprise attack.

There are also troops on the shore to provide support.

If it weren't for the powerful artillery on the ship, the fleet might have been destroyed in Annan.

As long as the Ming Dynasty was stronger, no one would dare to have any evil intentions towards it wherever it went.

His father has been thinking about attacking Annan recently...

Once a fight starts, it’s all about money.

Li Jinglong and Zhang Chang have already left, and no one knows what good news they will bring back when they come back.

Money, no amount of it is enough——

"Hey, it moved."

Zhang Xin suddenly stopped and touched her belly.

"Hahaha, my daughter also praised you! Wow, you are quite strong!"

When Zhu Gaochi bent down and listened attentively, the baby in Zhang Xin's belly moved again appreciatively.

"Your Highness, we may have gone too far. Let's go back."

Wu Shanggong felt a little tired.

The last time Zhang Xin was pregnant, Bao was there and at least she could take care of her.

This time, Bao was taking care of Zhang Xin's second sister-in-law during her confinement after childbirth. She could not enter the palace until next month, so Zhang Xin was jumping around all the time.

"Oh, okay, let's go back."

Zhang Xin agreed and turned around.

"My Lord, why don't you sleep in the study?"

Wu Shanggong boldly suggested again.

"Did I squeeze you?"

Zhu Gaochi glared at Wu Shanggong and asked Zhang Xin.

"That's not true."

Zhang Xin honestly said that it was quite good to have a fat man next to her. It was winter now and she could keep warm by leaning against him. Sometimes she slept on her side, and Zhu Gaochi could serve as a backrest even if she lay flat on her back.

"Then I won't sleep in the study!"

Zhu Gaochi made the final decision.

Wu Shanggong retreated.

When the two men returned to the palace, Hu Shang Gong came over to talk about what happened.

Zhu Gaochi was very unhappy and just sat there and refused to leave.

"Your Highness, the people who were taken away from the palace this time have been summarized."

Concubine Hu respectfully presented a piece of paper, and it turned out that what the eldest prince's wife had said was right, there were all kinds of people in this palace.

"Let me see. What needs to be delivered so late at night? It hurts your eyes. I'll read it to you."

Zhu Gaochi snatched the paper that Wanxiu was about to give to Zhang Xin.

"Like an idiot, it's just a list of people who have left the palace. But it's just right, you can ask someone to check it later."

Zhang Xin accepted the favor and handed the matter over to Zhu Gaochi.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Zhu Gaochi did not participate in the purge of the harem and did not understand what Zhang Xin said.

"It was fine for those who volunteered to leave, regardless of whether they had problems or not. But later on, these people cried and shouted to stay in the palace. I always felt that there was something wrong. So I asked Hu Shanggong to make a note of it."

Zhang Xin gave a simple explanation.

The palace maids and eunuchs left the palace in batches.

The original principle was voluntary.

More than 200 of them were picked up by their relatives, and the other 800 were sent to the capital to live out their retirement.

There are less than two thousand people left in the palace.

It is hard to leave one's hometown. Some people have lived in the imperial city for most of their lives and are unwilling to leave. She does not want to force them to go out.

But then he changed his mind and realized that the previous dynasty knew about what happened in the harem so quickly.

There must be someone from the harem who leaked out.

Although he is not prominent now, the old man has been in the palace for a long time and is always well-informed.

Since they have started releasing people.

Many young palace maids were also selected in the June selection.

Then be thorough and replace all those that are over the age limit before the end of next year, whether you like it or not.

She also kept a watchful eye.

Let Hu Shanggong record those people who claimed to be picked up by their families.

"Hey, this is really a great idea."

Zhu Gaochi was surprised again.

With this list, those who follow the clues can also dig out many people behind the scenes who have been operating in the Hongwu Dynasty for many years.

"Well, mother made a good decision. From now on, the people in this palace will be replaced every five years at most. I have just climbed up, and it's time for me to leave."

Zhang Xin smiled.

Invisibly, the rotation of palace maids eliminated a hidden danger in the palace.
