Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhu Yunwen had improved, so he gave him another memorial.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the memorial in front of her and her heart was beating fast. Royal grandfather gave her another memorial. What did this mean? It meant that he had just passed Imperial Grandfather's test.
The price of the last test was still fresh in his mind. After passing this time, he let out a long sigh of relief.
When she picked up the memorial, Zhu Yunwen's first impression was that it was very big and heavy.
"Do you think it's very big?"
"The things described in it are also very big!”
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth. Zhu Yunwen opened it with doubt in her hand and looked at it excitedly.
"The important matters of the imperial court are described here!”
"Imperial Grandfather actually let me participate in the important matters of the imperial court!”
Zhu Yunwen was very happy. Was this the reward for passing the test? This was too good, too wonderful!
He had done his best to be filial and humble, all for the sake of these rewards!
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but smile.
When Zhu Yuanzhang picked up this memorial, his heart was heavy. Just as he said, this memorial was too big and heavy.
Anything that involved the Great Ming Dynasty was a big deal to him.
For example, this memorial was submitted by the Minister of Revenue, Zhang Qi.
It was already the end of October. According to the usual practice, the various departments had already begun to calculate their income and various expenditures for the year.
In the Ministry of Revenue's report, the expenditure and income made him frown.
In short, the Ministry of Revenue only had 21,522 taels of silver left this year. He had no money.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed. In the 25th year of Hongwu, there had been floods in the north and south, droughts in Guanzhong, and natural disasters.
The border was not peaceful, and he had even issued two decrees to go out on expeditions. Military expenditure was also a major item!
In the coastal area, the Japanese pirates often disturbed, and he asked the Ministry of Revenue to allocate silver to build a water stockade defense.
He knew that the Ministry of Revenue did not have much money left.
But now that he saw this memorial, he had a headache.
Now, he had racked his brains to think of a way to get money, but he could not think of any good countermeasures after thinking for a day.
Now that he saw a smile on Zhu Yunwen's face, he asked,"Have you read the memorial? He was smiling so happily. Did he have an idea?”
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen was stunned.
Sigh, I was just excited and happy just now. I haven't finished reading this memorial yet. However, Zhu Yunwen was the most beautiful boy in the Imperial College since he was young. His comprehension ability could score full marks.
Therefore, he quickly scanned through it and found the core problem.
In short, the Ministry of Revenue had no money and was crying to Imperial Grandfather for help.
What if he ran out of money?
Even the imperial grandfather had no way, so he, Zhu Yunwen, did not know how to make money.
However, now that his grandfather was staring at him and waiting for his answer, he could only bite the bullet.
Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment and said,"Grandfather, if we are short of money, can't we just make money?"”
After waiting for so long, he was filled with anticipation, yet he got such an answer?
To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang was disappointed.
When the Great Ming Treasure Notes were first issued, it had indeed solved the urgent financial needs of the court and the local governments.
More and more were printed later, but in just a few short years, the Great Ming Treasure Notes were becoming less and less valuable.
Although he had started to control it, he could not stop the trend.
Even the commoners saw this, and they were the ones most closely related to the Great Ming Treasure Notes.
He was puzzled by this matter. He had issued the Great Ming Treasure Notes to bless the people, but he did not expect to receive complaints from the people.
In the end, Zhu Yu gave herself an answer. That day at dinner, Zhu Yu said that this was called 'inflation'.
He even gave himself an in-depth analysis. Although he was confused, one thing was certain. The Great Ming Treasure Notes could not be printed anymore. This matter was related to the people's livelihood.
Therefore, he was full of hope. He looked at Zhu Yunwen, this kid, and thought that he had found a solution.
Even if he suggested that he find a few corrupt officials to kill?
He could still look at him in a new light. At the very least, he was a ruthless kid.
Looking at how happy you are, who knew that the suggestion was to continue printing money?
Just this? Just this? Just this?
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand disappointedly and said,""Yun Wen, you can leave now. I'll give you three days to think about it and come up with a perfect plan.”
"Yes, Imperial Grandfather!"
Zhu Yunwen excitedly walked out of the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
After Zhu Yunwen left, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorial on the imperial table and rubbed his eyebrows. He still had no clue.
"Why don't we capture a group of corrupt officials and kill them?”
"Zhu Yu, this kid, is very smart. Perhaps he can have some good suggestions.”
"Let's go and listen."
......
Zhu Yunwen was a little dizzy. This time, she was excited. It was as if she was already in the clouds. This feeling was very wonderful.
As soon as he returned to the Eastern Palace, Madam Lu came up with the palace maids. When she saw her son's state, her heart skipped a beat. With a face full of concern, she said,"Yunwen, what's wrong with you?"
"Mother." Zhu Yunwen came back to her senses and said with a silly smile,"Today, Imperial Grandfather is very satisfied with me and even allowed me to participate in political affairs.”
"What?"
"I let you participate in politics?"
"Yes, Imperial Grandfather asked me to give him my opinion.”
Seeing her son nod with absolute certainty and narrate the ins and outs of the matter, Madam Lu seemed to be even more excited than Zhu Yunwen. The smile on her face was very happy.
"My son, that's great. You've finally received the old master's approval.”
"Is that so?"
Zhu Yunwen scratched her head and seemed to have thought of something. She continued unconfidently,"But after I told him the solution, Imperial Grandfather didn't seem too happy.”
"Silly child." Madam Lu reached out and rubbed his head, smiling as she said,"You're thinking too much."
"Think about it. This problem is huge. Even the old master can't think of a solution. It's already not bad that you can come up with it.”
"The old master is not very happy. It must be because the lack of money has not been resolved."
"However, if you can resolve this matter later, the old master might make you the imperial grandson and become the heir apparent of our Ming Dynasty.”
"This is a big test. If our son survives it, our goal will be accomplished!”Lady Lu said excitedly.
"However, regarding this matter, I really don't have any countermeasures."
"If you don't have a plan, then come up with one. Go to the directorate and invite your teachers. In the Eastern Palace, come up with a plan that will satisfy this old man.”
Zhu Yunwen looked at Madam Lu's expectant eyes and nodded heavily.
After Zhu Yunwen left,
The smile on Lady Lu's face disappeared, replaced by a gloomy expression.
"The old man has a son to show filial piety? Blocking my son's path?"
"Could it be that prince? Bengong will send someone to investigate.”
