The six people, including King Lu, King Lu, Duke of England, Duke of Lu, and Duke of Ding, looked solemn and turned a sudden change.

The royal family and nobles of the Ming Dynasty have reached hundreds of thousands of people in more than two hundred years. Although they have experienced the "confiscation" and the "cleaning" of the court, the number of people alone is quite large, and the money and grain are more spent, and the proportion in the court is also quite amazing!

If the emperor is worried, it is necessary to make some changes. However, the impact of "reducing titles" is too great, and hundreds of thousands of people must rebel.

However, the emperor in front of him was not Wanli or Tianqi. If he listened to the words of the ministers of the Foreign Court, if he insisted on his own actions, they would not be able to stop him.

King Lu and others hesitated for a while, looked at each other again, and finally looked at Zhu Xu and advised him, "Your Majesty, this matter is very important. I think you should be cautious and think twice."

Zhu Xu looked at the six people with a slightly deep expression and said, "This is the result of your thoughts for a long time? I will worry about you all, and you will not care about it yourself? When did you learn to compete for yourself and shirk things from the front, just like those adults in the outer court?"

King Lu and others heard clearly. When the emperor got angry, they bowed slightly.

Zhang Zhiji, who had not spoken, suddenly raised his hand and said, "Report to the emperor, I believe that the royal family and nobles should support themselves and reduce the pressure on the court."

Zhang Zhiji was the leader of the camp in the west of the capital. He is now stationed in Miyun. Mangui, who supports Tumu Fort, guards the capital. He just arrived in Beijing under the order not long ago.

Zhu Xu looked at him with encouragement and said, "Continue."

Zhang Zhiji was also wise in a hurry. When he saw Zhu Xu asking, he raised his hand and said, "The emperor went south to recover a large area of ​​territory, and lacked people to guard him. I believe that the royal family and nobles are the most suitable."

The Ming Dynasty held a captive royal family and nobles, and was essentially alert to them, fearing that they would threaten the imperial power of the Zhu family.

Zhang Zhiji's proposal made Zhu Xu's eyes lit up. If all these royal families, nobles and nobles were sent overseas, they would not have to worry about their growth and becoming the pioneers of colonization. This would be a good thing to win both sides.

Zhu Xu nodded in approval and said, "Although the details still need to be considered, it is a good thing to have ideas."

Zhang Zhiji's face remained unmoved, and he was quite excited inside, saying, "Thank you, the emperor."

"Is there any?" Zhu Xu looked at the others. He had a solution, but the nature of what he said was different from what these people said.

The King of Lu came over with some understanding, pondered for a moment, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, now all parts of the Ming Dynasty are reclaiming wasteland. Can the royal family participate and have a certain amount of land?"

"Yes." Zhu Xu said very decisively, he was about to be demoted, and he was still afraid that you would have some trouble?

The King of Jin was not opposed to this. He once had tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land and many good shops. Looking at Zhu Xu's expression, he said with a slight look: "Emperor, I believe that a royal business can be established, and the clan's office can also be responsible for it, and the clan's family can also participate. The profits obtained will be given to the clan's family as annual salary. I wonder what the emperor thinks?"

"Yes." Zhu Xu still said very directly, this is also a way to adapt to the ancestral system.

British Duke Zhang Weixian frowned and looked up at Zhu Xu. He had already noticed that the emperor was clearly inducing them.

Since he handed over military power, he watched coldly outside the political situation and was very clear about Zhu Xu's thoughts. It was obviously the emperor who was digging a pit for them. Although he didn't know what was in the pit, there would be no good things!

Xu Yunzhen, Duke of Ding, had just inherited the title and was still young. Listening to the words of the two people above, he said with a certain desire, "Emperor, can the nobles and nobles engage in other matters?"

Zhu Xu had no impression of this person and said with a smile, "Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, you have to take your time, you can't let go all of a sudden, you can discuss it." If this is the case, it will completely break the 'ancestral system'.

Zhang Weixian looked calm and did not participate in the discussion, so he felt very uneasy.

But how could Zhu Xu let him go? Although this man lost his military power, his influence was quite large. Zhu Xu looked at him and asked slowly: "Duke of England, what do you think?"

Zhang Weixian looked slightly moved, raised his hand and said, "I think this matter needs to be discussed in detail by the cabinet. The six ministries should not be too hasty, so we should implement it slowly."

Old fox!

Zhu Xu complained in his heart that Zhang Weixian didn't say this. He thought about it and said directly: "Then let it be. As I just discussed it, the clan's office carefully discussed it and compiled a detailed statement for me. Regarding the matter of "reducing titles", please do it. You must carefully study and discuss it. You can collect opinions from princes, nobles and nobles and ministers widely. Report to me as soon as possible. I will let the cabinet discuss it again..."

After saying so much, Zhu Xu just wanted to reduce his title and loosen his ties to the royal family. It was a waste to keep hundreds of thousands of people in his house. Whether it was to reclaim wasteland or go to sea for trade, it was all a choice.

"I obey the order!" King Lu and others were quite excited. No matter what, the emperor was a little tolerant of the royal family and life would not continue to be difficult.

Zhang Weixian raised his head and looked at Zhu Xu deeply, but he still couldn't escape.

Zhu Xu looked at the backs of the six people and tapped his fingers on the table.

Let go first and give these royal family members a time to adapt. Hundreds of thousands of royal families cannot continue to be kept in captivity. Although the impact of relegation will be greater, loosening should be enough to make up for it.

This matter is basically decided, but no one can resist the details in plain text!

Zhu Xu looked at the empty outside and whispered to himself, "Donglin, royal family, nobles and nobles have all been resolved, but the military and political reform is missing..."

Bi Ziyan is right. Zhu Xu is indeed cleaning up some obstacles and giving Shilin a reasonable step. Before next year's big discussion, sort out these "blocking" relationships.

These things have basically been solved. The following are the reform and improvement of the military and political system.

Cao Huachun watched from the side. No one knew Zhu Xu's thoughts better than him. After waiting for a while, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, General Lu will be in Beijing tomorrow. General Cao will probably take two more days."

Zhu Xu nodded silently, and after a while, he said, "Well, I'm watching the outside."

At this time, it is most likely to cause trouble. He must control the situation and complete his established reform plan.

"Yes." Cao Huachun said.

After Zhu Xu said this, he took the memorial on the table in his hand and continued his work.

In the cabinet, Bi Ziyan and Fu Changzong were sitting opposite each other and were discussing the financial situation next year.

Fu Changzong was in his hand, saying, "Although there will be disarmament next year, the expenditure will not be reduced for a while. It is expected that the silver will be more than 20 million, the immigration expenditure will be more than 7 million, the Ministry of Industry's support will be more than 4 million, and the other five departments will be more than 3 million. In addition, the expenditure is relatively fragmented. The officials have made a list, and there are more than 6 million in a row, and the expenditure on grain and grain will be nearly 20 million shi... In this way, with the deficit this year, the shortage of silver will be more than 10 million next year, and the grain will be more than 5 million shi..."

Bi Ziyan knew all this and kept frowning when Fu Changzong said it.

During the Tianqi period, the tax silver for the court was about two million taels and the grain was about three million. Because the emperor handed over Huitong Trading Bank to the cabinet, the tax silver for the court increased to about three million, and the tax grain was also 18 million. It seemed that it had increased a lot, but the expenditure was even greater, and it would not be able to save money immediately for a while. The deficit in the next two years was even more than the taxes for the Tianqi year!

Taxes will be reduced in the future, but the deficit may not be filled. In other words, unless the top ten granaries are used, this loophole cannot be filled at all, and will only get bigger year by year. If there are sudden events, there will be no extra ability to resist!

Threat is imminent!

The cabinet's collection is imminent!

It is urgent to promote the "new policy"!

Bi Ziyan was calculating in his heart, and looked at Fu Changzong in a firm tone and said, "The most critical link in the 'new policy' is the 'Tian Mu Plan'. I plan to separate the tianmu, the hudian and other departments managed by the Ministry of Revenue to establish a yamen. What do you think?"

This is the most important responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue. Once it is taken away, the Ministry of Revenue will be half empty, leaving only the management of money and grain. This management is written and the actual storage is not in the Ministry of Revenue.
Chapter completed!
