"Chongba, did you find any problems after going to Fengyang?”
After the family banquet ended, the princes left one after another.
When only Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were left in the room,
Empress Ma, who was making the bed, suddenly asked this question.
"Sigh! After all these years, it's still you who understands me!”
Even though he had been acting as normal as possible.
However, how could Empress Ma, who had been with him for decades, not notice his abnormality?
When Zhu Yuanzhang entered the room, she could already tell that he had something on his mind.
However, the children were still there at that time, so Empress Ma did not ask.
At this time, only Zhu Yuanzhang and herself were left in the bedroom.
There were some things between a couple that did not need to be hidden.
"If you can tell me, then tell me. After saying some things, he felt much better.”
After making the bed, Empress Ma came behind Zhu Yuanzhang.
She considerately reached out and massaged his shoulders.
"Sigh... Sister, what if someone says that we did something wrong? Moreover, he said it with reason and evidence. But... But I also feel that I am right.”
"Then, are we wrong or right?”
What Zhu Yuanzhang was suppressing in his heart was actually mentioned when he was chatting with Liu Bai.
Should the salaries of the officials of the Ming Dynasty be lower or higher?
Liu Bai's question was very realistic.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang was tempted.
Because on his way back from Fengyang…
He had thought about it for a long time.
Should he raise the salary of the officials?
If he mentioned it, would it mean that he admitted that his previous decision was wrong?
And just as Liu Bai had said, many of the officials did it because the salary he gave them was too low.
It was not even enough to maintain the basic requirements of life.
In the end, under the pressure of reality, he had no choice but to walk the path of being a corrupt official.
What if Zhu Yuanzhang raised the salary of the officials at this time?
How should he deal with those officials who had already embarked on the path of no return?
What should they do?
But if he didn't make any adjustments…
A talent like Liu Bai could now say frankly that he was going to resign after this year.
If he continued to work, he would either starve to death or be beheaded for greed.
If they couldn't retain talents, how could the Ming Dynasty be passed down?
"Chongba, there's no definite right or wrong. Perhaps you guys stand on different angles, so sometimes the views you speak of are different. You are now an emperor. You have to consider the world and the country. So I think you should consider whether a point of view is correct. He should be standing in the perspective of the world and all living beings in the world.”
Empress Ma didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.
However, she knew that she did not need to give him an answer.
All she needed to do was to let him have a forgiving attitude.
Sometimes, she would let men think about their own matters.
He only needed to support him.
"I'm the emperor now…That's right. I'm the emperor now! Whether it was right or wrong had to be considered from the perspective of the world. Hey, sister, if it's the salary of the officials, we should raise it for them..."
Empress Ma's words made Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already in a state of being stuck in a dead end, suddenly feel enlightened.
When he considered whether a question was right or wrong, he could no longer use the question itself to look at it.
If a question was good for the Ming Dynasty, then even if he was wrong, he had to be right.
Similarly, if the question itself was correct.
However, he had already endangered the country of Great Ming. No matter what, he was wrong about this question!
After thinking through all this, Zhu Yuanzhang became more open-minded.
However, he still subconsciously wanted to ask Empress Ma for her opinion.
However, before he could finish his question, Empress Ma had already covered his mouth with her hand.
"Chongba, have you forgotten our agreement? You are the emperor, I am the empress. You are the ruler of the world, and I am only the ruler of the harem. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is what we have always agreed on. You can't break the rules!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the smiling Empress Ma.
He knew that if the other party didn't want to answer him, he could say it even if he wanted to.
She would still not give him an answer.
Therefore, Old Zhu still wanted to ask.
But in the end, he held back.
He reached out and gently patted the back of Empress Ma's hand.
"Alright, I won't ask you about these things in the future. Let's leave it for the court tomorrow and see what the officials have to say. Hahaha... Although the world belongs to our Zhu family, they stand in the royal court every day. We don't ask them to stand there and look good. We won't be bothered by this problem. Let them worry for us."
Zhu Yuanzhang said,
He looked at the sky outside.
"Sister, it's getting late. Let's rest early. I'm really tired today. Let's talk about Fengyang County and Liu Bai. Our hometown is really powerful now. If it wasn't for the fact that the place was too small, I would feel that even the Ying Tian Manor wasn't as comfortable as Phoenix Sun.”
"Okay, okay, okay. If you're tired, lie down obediently. I'll give you a massage.”
"Sigh, you're the best!”
"You're so shameless. You're already so old, yet you're still garrulous."
