The Crown Prince Is Actually So Smart? Just be the emperor!
At the same time,
In the Emperor's royal study!
"Your Majesty, I've already followed your instructions and asked them to come over!”
Liu Bowen stood at the side and reported the situation!
"Hmm…"
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the chair and nodded. He was in a good mood!
I just came back from a big boy's place.
He asked Liu Bowen to summon the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Personnel, Xu Da, and Lan Yu!
He planned to tell them about what happened today!
Not long after,
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Xu Da, Lan Yu, the Minister of Revenue, Qin Wenyi, and the Minister of Personnel, Chen Xiu, all arrived and bowed!
Seeing people come,
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and leaned back in his chair to examine them. He went straight to the point and said,"I asked you to come here for no other reason than to ask…how's the preparation of the money?”
His tone was emotionless.
When everyone heard this…
"Plop!"
Minister of Revenue Qin Wenyi and Minister of Personnel Chen Xiu immediately knelt down!
"Your Majesty, the money…is being gathered!"
"We'll work hard to speed up. By then, we'll definitely be able to hand over the money to His Majesty!”
They trembled and quickly reported, not daring to be negligent!
Xu Da and Blue Jade stood at the side, not daring to speak or breathe loudly!
His Majesty had already mentioned this matter many times. Was he going to make a move on them now?
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said in a bad mood,"Waiting for you to work hard?"
"If we really wait until then, it'll be too late!”
Glancing at Lan Yu, Xu Da said,
He shook his head and continued,"I asked you to think of a way, but you guys are already so exhausted!"”
"If I had waited for you, I'm afraid Northern Yuan would have reached Fengtian!”
"I called you over this time…to tell you that I have a solution!”
As soon as he said this,
"Ah?"
The Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Personnel were stunned for a moment and blinked!
Wasn't His Majesty going to punish them?
There's a way?
"Your Majesty, what is the solution?”
"Hasn't this matter troubled Your Majesty for so long? Did you call us over to talk about this?”
Blue Jade and Xu Da's faces revealed a hint of joy as they hurriedly asked!
If the problem of money could be solved, those bastards of Northern Yuan would be waiting to die!
"Otherwise? Are you waiting for us to convict you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and glared at the people in front of him!
As soon as he said this,
Everyone did not dare to say anything else and stayed obediently!
Zhu Yuanzhang did not keep them in suspense and said directly,"If you want money, then you have to change the taxes!”
"Raise the business tax on merchants. It can't be as low as before. Raise it to the highest!”
" Lower the taxes of the farmers, and don't let them pay the grain tax like this. Just pay the money…"
"And…"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and began to share Zhu Biao's ideas.
At the same time,
"Huh?"
Xu Da, Lan Yu, the Minister of Revenue, and the Minister of Personnel were all stunned!
Changing taxes, increasing commercial taxes, reducing agricultural taxes, converting grain taxes into money…
They were all smart people and immediately understood the meaning behind Old Zhu's words!
"This…this…"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"If we do as Your Majesty says and change the tax, Great Ming's economy will definitely rise!”
"Yes, yes, yes. Actually…I've wanted to say this before. It's really time to make a move on the profits of merchants!”
Everyone spoke one after another, their faces filled with excitement!
However, he was greatly puzzled. Why would His Majesty suddenly change his stubborn thoughts?
But…
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened when he heard what the crowd said. He angrily rebuked,"What is it? If you can say it now, why couldn't you say it earlier?!”
The last to speak was the Minister of Revenue, Qin Wenyi, who scratched his head awkwardly and said resentfully,""Ah, this…I was just afraid that Your Majesty wouldn't listen!”
"However, it's not too late to do this now. Your Majesty is wise to think of this solution!”
Qin Wenyi flattered her again.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little angry. He snorted and said impatiently,"Alright, alright, I didn't ask you to come over to bootlick!”
But thinking about it, it was true.
Other people didn't dare to say such words, so it was only Biao 'er who said it.
If it was anyone else, he wouldn't have listened!
He glanced at Xu Da and the others and felt that he should make things clear to these guys!
Otherwise, what would happen if a father stole the credit from his son?
"We have one more thing to say!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said indifferently.
As soon as he said this,
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
Xu Da, Blue Jade, and the others hurriedly opened their mouths, looking as if they were all ears and carrying curious looks!
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the atmosphere was almost set off, so he nodded slightly and said,"Do you know…why we want to change the tax?”
Everyone shook their heads.
He took a deep breath and continued,"Actually, this was all Biao's idea!”
"He…has taught us a good lesson!”
"Guess what he said then? Saying that we are in cahoots with the merchants is clearly harming the people!”
"He even asked us to pick a few businessmen to kill chickens to show respect to the monkeys, control all the merchants, take the rich's money, and let Big Ming become rich!”
"We almost pointed at his nose and taught him a lesson!”
Zhu Yuanzhang wasn't stingy as he recounted Zhu Biao's previous actions. His tone was filled with displeasure, but one could faintly hear his pride!
Blue Jade, Xu Da, and the others were stunned when they heard this!
Was the Crown Prince the one who thought of this idea?
How could a teenager have such foresight?!
He even taught His Majesty a lesson and said that His Majesty was in cahoots with the merchants to harm the people?
"Hiss!"
Without a doubt, they all gasped and stood rooted to the ground!
Then,
Xu Da, Lan Yu, the Minister of Revenue, and the Minister of Personnel's eyes gradually filled with vigor!
" Crown Prince, you're truly a genius!!"
"If it's really as the Crown Prince said, in less than a year, the Northern Expedition Army's expenses will be settled!”
"As expected of the Crown Prince. He can use this to change the bad influence of today's emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce. He is even more thoughtful than I thought.”
"Your Majesty, you should be glad that the Crown Prince could think of and dare to say this. Otherwise…it would be impossible for Great Ming to gather enough funds for the Northern Expedition Army in a short period of time!”
Everyone was full of praise and stood on Zhu Biao's side!
They all thought that the Ming Dynasty had produced a wise and wise Crown Prince, so they did not care too much about Zhu Yuanzhang's displeasure!
Hearing their words,
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes and asked in a questioning tone,"So, we should listen to him?"
But…
Xu Da and the others did not pay too much attention at the moment and nodded one after another!
"Your Majesty, this is only natural. Your method is not good, so of course we have to use the Crown Prince's method!”
"I agree!"
The people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel spoke at the same time without hesitation!
Xu Da and Lan Yu looked at each other and understood!
"Your Majesty, look, the Crown Prince has such talent. He's a natural born wise ruler!”
"Right, right, right. Isn't the Crown Prince quite concerned about the state affairs? Your Majesty, didn't you always say that you wanted the Crown Prince to succeed the throne? You can use this matter to pave the way for him!”
With serious expressions, they cupped their hands and bowed as they spoke their thoughts!
