Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong, walked to him and said softly: "You must behave properly in your work. Sometimes don't think too much, otherwise it will be of no benefit to you."

"Yes, the emperor, I know." Chen Hong knelt down and bowed his head.

"Go down and get the board yourself." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Remember, twenty boards."

"Yes, Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie!" Chen Hong quickly agreed.

After saying this, Chen Hong turned around and walked out. He also knew that he was talking too much.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong's back as he left and shook his head helplessly.

People are all selfish. There are really not many people who keep their duties when they do what they do.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youchao ordered around him: "Transfer the order to Wei Chao and let him come back."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Someone next to him agreed, and then there was no sound in the palace.

Zhu Youxiao moved his muscles and turned around and walked out.

Standing on the steps and looking at the sunshine outside, it feels very good. The weather is very good today and the sun is very bright.

Since the beginning of winter, the weather in the capital has become impermanent. Zhu Youxiao still remembers listening to Guo Degang's crosstalk in his previous life, and always likes to talk about how cold it is in the old age.

In fact, when the founding of New China, the weather was still very, very cold. In the sixties and seventies, winter also looked like winter, and there was no warm winter. It was nothing more than the residual temperature of the small glacier period, which made the weather very cold.

And in the Ming Dynasty, which is about to enter the Little Ice Age, winter begins to be unreasonable. I believe that in a few years, the whole world will be even more difficult.

Zhu Youxiao has a clear memory, and the sky is snowing north of the Yangtze River.

In the days when Zhu Youxiao was alive, there had not been such heavy snow along the Yangtze River for many years, and winter came very early, so time was not enough for plants to grow.

When the snow melts in spring, plant the plants; when it snows again in winter, the plants will not be able to harvest them. This is why everyone is so difficult.

There was no food in the late Ming Dynasty, mainly because of this, not to mention droughts, floods and earthquakes.

In short, the earth is not peaceful and life is not easy.

In Jiangnan, which should have produced abundant grain, such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and other places, mulberry and hemp were planted in many places. The "change of rice into mulberry is a national policy" mentioned in "The Ming Dynasty 1566" is fictional, and in history, this national policy does not exist at all.

However, the change of rice into mulberry is real. Due to the development of smuggling trade, a large amount of raw silk is needed in the entire Jiangnan Zhejiang and other places to spin.

As for raising silkworms, it requires a large amount of mulberry leaves. The big families do not need to be urged by the court, and they change the fields to mulberry. As for small families, there is no need to say that those with fields have fields, and those without fields do not need to be said.

What's more, for people with fields, planting mulberry trees can make more money than growing grain. The emergence of capitalism in the south, that is, the emergence of hired workers, is a large part of this. There is a large demand overseas and smuggling trade is rampant.

Although the situation improved a lot after the opening of Longqing, smuggling was actually rampant. The court could not get any benefits from it.

In a feudal dynasty that could not even collect land tax, what tax do you expect to collect? Can you still collect commercial tax?

Not everyone can do business in this era, and it is not possible to have no ability. I don’t even pay the land tax. Do you want me to pay the commercial tax? What I think is so beautiful!

Since his time travel, Zhu Youxiao has been thinking of various ways to get money to equip his own army. To put it bluntly, he guarantees that no one dares to touch his emperor.

As for the reform of Zhu Youxiao, it rarely touched on fundamental interests. This time, the reform of the Royal Academy can be regarded as a reform that promotes the world, and there is nothing else.

Zhu Youxiao was waiting for his army to take shape, waiting for the battle in Liaodong to determine the world, and when his army returned with the power of great victory, he could really start reform.

But before that, money is still needed.

Standing on the steps of the palace and looking out, Zhu Youxiao's gaze seemed to penetrate the entire capital and see a place further away.

After winter, although the weather becomes colder, occasionally one day there will be good weather, bright sunshine and less low temperatures.

This is the day on the sixth day of November.

As the Chinese New Year is about to come, the capital is becoming bustling.

Although there are many things in the past two years, the Ming Dynasty was generally peaceful and the court was running smoothly.

The whole capital is filled with a warm atmosphere of the New Year.

In such an atmosphere, there is something that the people in the capital have always talked about, that is, the newly developed urban area of ​​the royal family is about to begin to be approved.

Although the word "subscription" has just appeared, it has been accepted by everyone and has been discussed and discussed by everyone.

Many people are also ready to wait for the start of this subscription.

As the sun was rising, Zhu Youxiao was walking on the streets of the capital, feeling very relaxed. Speaking of which, he had not come out to walk around for a long time.

In addition to dealing with the government affairs during this period, Zhu Youxiao was in the palace with Queen Zhang and his son. So it was a relaxing time to go out.

Zhu Youxiao was still struggling to name his child a few days ago, so now he can put this matter behind his mind.

Behind Zhu Youxiao were two eunuchs, one was Chen Hong and the other was Wei Chao who had just returned from Liaodong.

Compared to leaving the capital, the Wei Dynasty was much more mature at this time. After returning to the capital this time, he felt a little more nervous and uneasy.

The Wei Dynasty did not want to be released again. Although life in Liaodong was quite comfortable, it was difficult to endure.

From time to time, he turned his head to look at Chen Hong, and Wei Chao had a smile on his face.

Since Wei Chao returned, Chen Hong began to dislike him. Although his status in the capital has dropped rapidly during the period of leaving the capital and his confidant staff have been transferred, there are still people in the Wei Dynasty.

After all, judging from the current situation, the Wei Dynasty is likely to rise.

There are always people who burn cold stoves, not to mention that the one in front of you is about to become a hot stove, so it is very easy for Wei Chao to find out the news.

The Wei Dynasty had basically figured out why Chen Hong was so hostile to him. To put it bluntly, it was the power struggle in the palace, which was no big deal.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about the fight between the two behind him.

The reason why he brought the Wei Dynasty back was to suppress Chen Hong. After being by the emperor for a long time, Chen Hong finally had some thoughts that he shouldn't have.

People's ambitions change with the growth of time and power, Zhu Youxiao understands this.

As an emperor, it is impossible to kill everyone, nor can everyone have no ambitions. This is unrealistic.

It is very important to find someone to suppress it and maintain balance.

After taking a look at the time and the sky, Zhu Youxiao said, "It's almost done, let's join in the fun."

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong and Wei Chao agreed together.

Today is the day when the Ministry of Internal Affairs is preparing to approve the funds. Zhu Youxiao is going to see how lively the matter is, and take the opportunity to test Huang Changzong to see if this person has the ability to go further.

For Zhu Youxiao, the Interior Affairs Office will have a great role in the future. If you do not find someone with ability to do things, problems may occur in the future.

Some of the people he sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs were suitable and did a good job; some were not suitable and did not do a good job.

As for his father-in-law Zhang Guoji, he has now passed the stage of carrying the pressure, and his name is almost the same.

Regarding his ability to do things, Zhang Guoji is not very good. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs handed over to him, the consequences will be very serious. So Zhu Youxiao is already preparing to replace him.

The group soon arrived at the Interior Office.

This place has long been overcrowded. Some of the people from various major families came in person, while others sent their subordinates to come. In short, it was prosperous.

Officials dressed in magnificent clothes are preparing to buy a house to support His Majesty.

The officials at the bottom came to see the houses built for them. After all, this is a benefit given by the emperor. If they can be assigned a house in the future, it will be a property.

As for merchants, they came to see shops. The shops in the capital have long been saturated. They look down on small shops and cannot buy large shops.

In recent years, shops have been rising prices, but now that there are new shops, they naturally have to compete for it. Moreover, the newly built houses are all officials and nobles living in them. It can be said that they are either rich or noble, and the consumption capacity of these people is naturally not to mention.

The shops here must be prosperous. If they operate some high-end things, they will have a good sales future. So the merchants who come here are basically rich businessmen, and there are people behind them.

Even many nobles and relatives are planning to build a shop here, which can be regarded as seeking a property for their families, and it is a win-win situation.

After taking the invitation to the door, Zhu Youxiao took the people in.

After entering the door, there was a large yard where many people gathered together to talk about something.

In the center of the yard, there is a huge wood carving model, which imitates the real estate project from later generations.

Through this model, the distribution of functional areas and buildings can be clearly seen, and it is clear.

Huang Changzong obviously used his heart.

Standing in front of the model for a while, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction.

Many people in the yard were also looking around the sand table, and they gave advice from time to time, as if they were deciding which house to buy. As for the price, many people didn't care much, after all, the family was not short of money.

Those who can stand here are completely rich at home. If you don’t care about spending some money, the key is to be good.

As the sun was noon, everyone's patience was almost exhausted.

At this time, Huang Changzong slowly walked out of the room, his fat face full of smiles.
Chapter completed!
