After returning to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang locked himself up and did not allow anyone to disturb him.
When he was in the house in Lotus Alley, he was moved by Zhu Yu's suggestion.
However, even though he was tempted, he had to consider it carefully from the beginning to the end.
He had to think twice before doing anything, especially since he was the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Any decision he made might affect the farmers and the people.
He needed to think twice and carefully consider the various directions and the possibilities that would arise. How big would the impact be on the farmers?
A day passed while he was thinking.
On the second day, Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and thought through this matter thoroughly.
This matter? He could do it! Feasible!
As long as he controlled it well and controlled all aspects, it was feasible to raise the commercial tax!
Moreover, he was prepared for the worst. If someone really caused trouble, he would just kill them with a knife!
This was not a big problem that would affect the foundation of the country.
"So comfortable!"
"I wonder how much money can be replenished for the national treasury."
Zhu Yuanzhang muttered as he stretched.
To be honest, he was looking forward to it.
At this moment, a eunuch's report came from outside the hall."Emperor, His Highness outside the palace, the directorates, Qi Tai, Liu Sanwu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Lu Ben, and the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhang Qi, have all arrived.”
"Hmm?"
"Everyone's here?"
"It just so happens that we're about to issue the decree. It's just nice that they're here. We don't have to send someone to make a trip.”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and ordered,"Let them all come in."”
......
......
After a while, Zhu Yunwen walked in with a smile on her face.
He was very happy.
Imperial Grandfather gave him three days to come up with a solution to the Ministry of Revenue's lack of money.
He gathered a group of teachers 'good friends to discuss and discuss all night and came up with a few ideas. It could be said that they covered every aspect.
Moreover, he actually completed the three day deadline given to him by Imperial Grandfather two days earlier. How could he not be happy?
If the Imperial Grandfather heard that his strategy was adopted, he would definitely praise his efficiency. Just thinking about it made his heart feel very comfortable.
As for why there were so many court officials behind him?
The reason was simple.
The lords behind him had been invited by his teacher, Qi Tai. They had already discussed it in private and were prepared to use this strategy to win the Emperor's favor and help solve the court's predicament as an excuse to ask the Imperial Grandfather to appoint him as the Imperial Grandson.
"Royal grandson!"
"The position of the imperial grandson that I've always dreamed of!”
"Becoming the Imperial Grand Sun means becoming the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty. The next step is to become the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty!”
Zhu Yunwen was extremely excited at the thought of this. Her heart was beating so fast that she almost suffocated.
"Everyone's here?"
After everyone bowed to him, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around and finally fixed his eyes on Zhu Yunwen.
"Yun Wen, seeing how confident you are, you should have the answer to the question we asked you.”
Although he was still determined to adopt Zhu Yu's method, since Zhu Yunwen had come and was so confident, he also wanted to hear what good method it was.
"Yes, Imperial Grandfather!"
Zhu Yunwen smiled proudly and took two steps forward. She cupped her hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang and was very polite.
He continued," The Ministry of Revenue is short of money. I think we should start with the agricultural tax. I suggest that we increase the agricultural tax appropriately to enrich the national treasury."”
"Hmm?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he raised his eyebrows.
Wasn't this the method that Zhu Yu suggested to be used as a 'negative example'?
After Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang. Seeing his raised eyebrows, he thought that he was interested. He was overjoyed and quickly added,"Imperial Grandfather, this is only the first step.”
"The first step?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became strange, and he said,"What else? Tell me."
"The second step is to recuperate and let the soldiers at the border take off their armor and open up wasteland.”
"Yesterday, when I looked through the expenditure records of the Ministry of Revenue, I found that this military expenditure is a large item, accounting for 30% of the entire year.”
"Then Imperial Grandfather will hold another sacrificial ceremony and pray that next year, our Great Ming will have good weather. We will definitely be able to conform to the will of the heavens and reproduce the prosperous scene of the past.”
Zhu Yunwen finished speaking in one breath. In her heart, there was nothing but anticipation. After all, these suggestions were praised by the teachers, saying that they were the most suitable policy for Great Ming's national policy.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang, his expression was extremely strange at the moment. He just sat there quietly, looking at Zhu Yunwen and then at the ministers present. His eyes moved back and forth between them without saying a word.
To be precise, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhu Yunwen gathered so many people to help and finally came up with a few policy papers that she was proud of. It turned out that Zhu Yu, this kid, despised them and abandoned them?
For a moment, the inner hall of Fengtian fell silent.
Zhu Yunwen's eyes were shining as she waited for the approval from her grandfather.
The ministers who followed were also waiting, waiting for His Majesty to say 'redeemable'. They were going to cooperate with Zhu Yunwen and praise her before moving out together!
He was prepared to use the stories of ancient sages and sages to persuade the emperor to make up his mind.
Help Zhu Yunwen become the emperor's grandson and the heir to the Ming Dynasty!
However, the old man sitting on the dragon throne did not make any sound.
Hmm? What was going on? Why is the emperor silent?
