Zhu Song nodded in agreement after hearing Zhao Fei's words.

"That's right. Whether it is the crown prince, King Han or King Zhao, they have already started to cultivate their own power in the court before. In the past, I did not plan to cultivate strength in the court, and it would be a lonely minister, but later on

The trip to Jiangnan gave me a deep understanding that no matter how powerful a person has, he will not be able to compete with a group of officials, and he will be even more unlikely to defeat the imperial power."

"Especially, my Ming Dynasty was the most peak of imperial power in all dynasties, and I don't have much power in my hands. I only have an Embroidered Uniform Guard in my hands, and I can't use any strength in the court. If those officials in the court are

I am really determined to be unable to get along with me, but I am afraid that I will only rely on the Jinyiwei, so of course I will not be able to compete with them."

"But the problem is that we can have some contact with the officials of the court, and the prince, Han and Zhao, and the others can also have some contact with the officials of the court, but after all, they are father and son, so the emperor can turn a blind eye and ignore it.

After all, he is still swaying between the prince and the King of Han, and the position of the prince is not stable. The reason why those civil servants get closer to a martial king of Han is that they are more optimistic about the future throne belonging to the King of Han."

"But can the emperor see through this collusion with forces in the court? I am just his younger brother. Even if it is the throne, it will not be the turn of my king. Why do those officials follow me wholeheartedly?"

Feng Miaoqin just knows nothing about government affairs. In this regard, Sister Zhao can help Your Highness, so after Your Highness finished speaking, the princess looked at Concubine Zhao immediately, with relish.

Concubine Zhao frowned slightly and placed her fingers on her lower lips. This was her usual move when thinking about problems.

"Your Highness is right. The reason why those officials who support the King of Han follow the King of Han is very simple. They are just optimistic that the King of Han will be the crown prince in the future, and the ones who support the crown prince are the same. But what can Your Highness give them?"

"Well... With that, we might as well look at the problem outside the royal family circle. The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were very low. Officials under the fourth rank even had to get some famine every year. If you don't think of other ways to protect your private pockets,

They can't live this year."

"Maybe Your Highness can use gold and silver as a tool to restrain people's hearts. Although it is not firm to restrain people's hearts with wealth, this is the only way that Your Highness can use now."

Concubine Zhao's words seemed to open the door to a new world for Zhu Song. Yes, although she is not qualified to fight for power, she also has an advantage that the other three princes do not have, that is, I am rich.

Kaiyuan is nominally Zhu Song's fiefdom. The salary given to Zhu Song by the court increased from 10,000 shi to 20,000 shi. Kaiyuan's taxes passed by Zhu Song again, and Zhu Song also had a lot of land in Kaiyuan, and added

During this trip to Jiangnan, the court will inevitably reward some gold, silver and treasures.

I opened another pilot brothel in Yangzhou. Although the model is different from ordinary brothels and the profits will be greatly reduced, after all, this industry is a huge profitable industry, and even so, it can still have a very considerable income.

The biggest difference between himself and the other three princes is that he is not afraid of the way of merchants. In Zhu Song's opinion, appropriately stimulating the enthusiasm of merchants is actually beneficial to the country. After reaching a certain level, it can stimulate business and relieve it.

Most merchants are banned from the local area, allowing goods to be circulated.

As long as the goods are circulated, there will be a steady stream of money. As long as the money enters your own pocket, you will no longer have to worry about money.

A huge industry is not favored by the emperor, but the emperor has to say that when he watches this industrial chain exist, what is the best way to do it? Took more people to go into the water!

There are many high-ranking officials in the capital, so it goes without saying that officials under the fourth rank cannot even eat enough with their salary this year. They are Zhu Song's target. In addition to them, there are officials above the fourth rank, and there are

Many officials do not mind that there is too much money. As long as they pull them into business and give them some business, they will follow themselves more closely when they have money.

In addition to these, there are so many royal relatives, and there are still several vassal kings left in the capital, as well as dukes from various families. So many heroes were born in this Jingnan Battle, and these are all royal relatives.

The fresh blood of high-ranking officials and nobles also pulled them into the water, and then they had a group of very powerful supporters.

As long as they believe that they can make money with them, if they lose money, they will not be able to make money, and they will try their best to protect themselves when they encounter danger.

What's more, if Zhu Song can support Zhu Di as the emperor, he can naturally make a choice between the prince and the Han King. For Zhu Song, he would choose the prince with his eyes closed.

The King of Han was capable, but he was unruly. As the emperor, the people of the Ming Dynasty were the people who lived in poverty.

Zhu Song’s biggest wish to travel through time is to hope that the people of the world can have enough food and food and clothing, which is also a waste of time travel.

Zhu Song wanders between various forces, especially between imperial power and official power, which is actually a very difficult thing. It is much easier to realize his wishes directly through imperial power.

But in Zhu Song's opinion, being an emperor is a very frustrating thing. Although he has the greatest power, he can also be controlled by power.

There are so many emperors who can only be born in the imperial city, grown in the imperial city, and finally die in the imperial city. Even the beautiful country outside the palace walls and the beautiful scenery of the world cannot be felt personally. It is really pitiful.

And there is another person who has the same goal as himself and has the heart of the people of the world, the crown prince. His posthumous title is Renzong. Being able to get this posthumous title shows that he loves the people as his son and is kind and righteous. Such a person is what Zhu Song should help

Those who win over, or those who should assist, protect.

When Zhu Song thought of this, it was basically clear how the various forces in the court should make a choice, and it was also clear where to stand, and the next thing was how to circulate the goods.

As early as when Kaiyuan, Zhu Song had already built an organization behind his back that was comparable to the Jinyiwei's specialized in inquiring about information. Now these people have radiated continuously to the four outsides with Kaiyuan as the center, and the farthest to the north.
