Zhu Youxiao has never been a father, so he has no feelings about the concept of having children, and he has never even thought that he would become someone else's father one day.

Of course, I never thought that I would be a father in the Ming Dynasty. However, when I saw the white and red baby crying on the bed, did he seem to have been bumped into his heart? It seemed that his whole heart melted into those royal blue and crystal clear eyes.

Is this your own child?

Zhu Youxiao asked himself more than once, and some time ago, he found that Xu Fo, who was also wearing a headscarf, seemed to have added a bit of mature charm than before.

"You are tired," Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sit next to Xu Fo, holding her soft and weak hand, and said.

The queen Zhang Yan, who was standing beside her, still smiled and couldn't let go and picked up the little prince.

At this moment, it seems more like an ordinary wealthy family, without the so-called vigilance and grudge between concubines.

Xu Fo also smiled like a flower and shook his head at Zhu Youxiao, meaning that he was not tired. For her, it was the first time she saw His Majesty gaze so softly. It seemed that for a moment, all the pain she suffered during this childbirth was worth it. She would rather stare at Zhu Youxiao like this.

"Your Majesty, give me a name," Queen Zhang Yan interrupted at this time and said with a smile.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and was about to name a little life in excitement, but he was in trouble because Emperor Taizu Gao had already been set. In addition to the surname Zhu, his seniority was also arranged. He belonged to the King of Yan. In his generation, he was kind and kind, but the last word was the rule of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. His generation was wood, and his next generation was fire.

But for a moment, Zhu Youxiao couldn't remember a few words beside the fire. After thinking for a long time, he decided to say, "So he named it Zhu Cijiong."

His Majesty the Emperor confirmed her name, which means that he officially recognized the identity of the prince of his child. Xu Fo couldn't help but get up to salute Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao pressed her back and asked Wang Chengen to help the queen do the matter well.

The news that Emperor Ming Dynasty had the eldest son of Zhu Cijiong spread across the country. For a Chinese dynasty that established a ruling system through etiquette, this not only means that the Zhu dynasty will be smooth and excessive in the subsequent political life, but also means that the people of the world will have more peace and peace.

Because this means that the dynasty rule has been continued and inherited.

The ministers consciously submitted congratulations, while the people also rushed to tell each other. In major cities such as the two capitals and Suzhou and Hangzhou, some literati and other scholars organized celebration parades.

Because several cabinet ministers in the cabinet advised His Majesty to forgive the world for this matter, Zhu Youxiao had to agree with them. In addition to several unforgivable crimes, prisoners who were sentenced to death should be sentenced to imprisonment and were exiled to remote areas for renovation.

At the same time, as the emperor's brother-in-law, the son-in-law Gong Yonggu, the general manager of the Royal Industrial Company, and one of the richest businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, he directly gave the employees an additional three months of bonus to celebrate the appearance of the emperor's eldest son.

When Gong Yonggu did this, Royal Bank was not willing to fall behind and began to mint a batch of commemorative coins and commemorative gold bars for limited sales. Many middle-class and above came to buy it.

The Ordnance Department and the Royal House also received bonuses. Hovey simply gave the workers of the Ministry of Workers' Day off and also funded him five silver dollars a day to spend.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao had to give bonuses to civil and military officials, and ordered the governors and governors of various provinces to give additional bonuses to their subordinate officials. The amount and amount of bonuses and funds can be reported to the central government at that time and the central government will reimburse them.

Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch in Nanjing, also went to Guanyin Temple to repay his wish and immediately donated 100,000 silver dollars.

In addition, Ma Shiying also implemented tax exemption for individual business owners in Fengyang prefectures and counties for three days. In this way, although he lost millions of silver dollars in taxes, it greatly stimulated the development of the small commodity economy.

From then on, a rule was formed that every 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, three days of tax exemption will begin. Farmers and residents in the suburbs around the town began to develop the habit of coming to the town to sell agricultural products and buy New Year's goods on this day.

Because it is tax-free this day, in order to maximize profits, many merchants will lower prices and promote promotions on this day. For many ordinary people, they can buy goods that they cannot reach on this day.

If the festive event of the appearance of the eldest son of the emperor was put before, it would naturally be the filial piety below. However, starting this year, I changed it and gave the filial piety below.

It seems that unintentionally, people will realize that the entire society is changing, and the order of hierarchy in the past is gradually being eliminated.

Zhu Youxiao himself did not realize this. As a country without a clear hierarchy, he seemed to be normal. But what really made him incredible was that he really changed history more and more differently, because according to normal history, he, the emperor of Zhu Youxiao, should not have children.

However, having the eldest son of the emperor does not mean that the Ming Dynasty's political arena will be smooth sailing from now on.

The emergence of new things often unexpectedly leads to the beginning of new events and new struggles.

Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa, who were the special envoy to the Qing Dynasty in Shengjing City, also learned that when the son had his eldest son today, they also invited the upper class nobles of the Qing Dynasty, including Huang Taiji and others, and conveyed the good news to them.

Although this was not good news for the Qing nobles such as Huang Taiji, or even bad news, because it meant that the Ming Dynasty's cohesion would be strengthened, he had to congratulate him on the surface.

Perhaps for the sake of the continuation of the dynasty, Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa submitted memorials and advice. Now His Majesty immediately established the eldest son as the crown prince.

This memorial was also supported by King Liaodong's General Secretary Lu Xiangsheng and General Manager Mao Wenlong. In short, the real power figures in the entire Liaodong system chose to write a letter together to advise Your Majesty to establish the crown prince of the emperor's eldest son.

The civil and military officials in the dynasty also responded actively to establish the crown prince as soon as possible.

But Zhu Youxiao felt a huge and invisible pressure because of this. This scene seemed to have happened again in the Wanli Dynasty. He couldn't help but worry that the government would start to fall into chaos because of the crown prince again.

Zhu Youxiao did not want to establish the crown prince so hasty. With the advent of the steam era, the increase in productivity, the disintegration of the natural economy, the changes in the Ming Dynasty will be even more advanced in the future, especially after a hundred years. This means that the crown prince will face a more severe reality in the future than what he is facing now.

"I understand the idea of ​​establishing the crown prince. However, establishing a crown prince is a major matter of the country. It should not be hasty. How many times have the national power been damaged in the Ming Dynasty and it has been damaged by this. Now the eldest son of the emperor has just been born. I don't know whether his character is good or bad, whether he is stupid or smart, and what kind of talent do I have. I am afraid that you still don't know. It would be too rash to hand over my destiny for a hundred years after the Ming Dynasty on the shoulders of this young child who has not even broken breasts. So don't mention this matter again!"

In the court, Zhu Youxiao directly rejected the court officials, and the court officials did not dare to disobey the king's intentions. However, at this time, an official from the Ministry of Rites stood up and asked: "I will tell you, since you do not establish the crown prince early, why not be appointed as the prince as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the choice of the crown prince in the future."

Qian Qianyi, Li Mingrui and others nodded, secretly praising the fact that what this person said was a wise move. Since the current emperor refused to establish a crown prince in advance, he could not and dared to force each other as a minister. However, it would be feasible to sign the eldest son as a prince in advance. If something really happens in the future, he can directly establish the position of crown prince.

But Zhu Youxiao didn't think so. He finally cut the vassal kings in the world by half, recovered one-third of the land he controlled, and his salary and support were greatly reduced. Now that he has established another prince, what should he do? Could it be that he has to give him tens of thousands of acres of land and a high salary?

"It is natural to be granted a king, but in my opinion, in order to no longer have any incidents of the nobles who embezzle people's land and property, there is no need to divide the land again. It is enough to have good ministers and generals in the area to assist them. Why do you have to add another constraint? In order to make my descendants no longer be lazy and hate labor because they are of royal blood and do not want to make progress, I decided not to give them any princes and princes easily. Regardless of their seniority, everything is based on talent and virtue. Only when they leave the cabinet at the age of fifteen will they examine what title they should be granted."

After Zhu Youxiao said this, the ministers were not good at saying anything. Only at this time Li Mingrui stood up and said, "Your Majesty is indeed a far-sighted and conscious concern. However, the eldest son of the emperor is also one of the guarantees for the future of the Ming Dynasty. Since he is not sure of being the crown prince, he has the title of prince like Zhu Youxiao, which is also for the long-term plan of the country."

Zhu Youxiao understood what Li Mingrui meant. Now that Zhu Youjian can even hold a title of trusted king, the eldest son can also hold a title of prince. If he really needs to make X-Mr. In the future, it is not easy to find an excuse for Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youxiao originally planned to let the princes participate in specific government affairs in the future. That's good. The prince can only set his salary very low by just a false title. After all, it is symbolic, and the rank of the princes' specific positions depends on their abilities.

"What I love said is very good. Since this is the case, the eldest son of the emperor will be named King Zhao, with the same rank of rituals and the same rank of officials," said Zhu Youxiao.

In this way, the eldest son of the emperor was given the title of King Zhao, but when he was born, he still lived peacefully in the Forbidden City like an ordinary baby.

Compared with the first year of Chongzhen in the original history, there was no large-scale peasant uprising in the eighth year of Tianqi in 1628 AD. This year, because the sweeping of royal capital and the huge supply of Fengyang's commercial tax, the filling of the national treasury caused the military pay owed in the nine border areas such as Jizhou and Guyuan for many years, and therefore no major mutiny occurred.

It can be said that the eight years of Apocalypse, which should have started from this, had no signs of turmoil and began to appear in the colder climate. Instead, it was more stable than the seventh year of Apocalypse.

The problem of refugees has not only been solved, but there are even insufficient refugees. In the eighth year of the revelation when the industrial economy began to impact the natural economy, many people would rather stick to the land and harvest the grain from the three parts of the land and live a self-sufficient life.

However, due to the large-scale use of steam power and the acquiescence and support of the court, workshops and factories in all walks of life spanned like mushrooms after a rain, but a labor shortage also occurred.

The factory owners had to increase their wages but tempted these people to come to work in towns away from their hometowns.

With the temptation of wealth, by the end of the eighth year of the Apocalypse, many people had begun to come to big towns to devote their labor to exchange for wealth, and in big cities like the capital, they were inseparable from the services of these foreign populations.

From the most basic public health treatment to the creation of various cultures and arts, and the inheritance and innovation of various skills, these skilled craftsmen gathered from all over the Ming Dynasty play their important roles in the capital.

Now the soldiers of the Five City Military and Ma Si are becoming more lazy. Because of the abundant treasury, they have also allocated urban management funds to the Five City Military and Ma Si.

However, the officials of the five-city military officers and soldiers with formal ranks in the Ministry of War were lazy than before, and they were not willing to do anything about extorting small stall vendors, let alone other municipal services. Their factory employers generally hired many landless refugees as temporary workers to be responsible for the maintenance of the order of the capital, the handling of urban cleaning, and firefighting.

When Zhu Youxiao was walking in the capital in a micro-dress, you could see many people wearing special clothes in Bianmasi who worked hard to sweep the snow on the street for a few minutes of silver dollars a day, while the officials of Bianmasi were sitting leisurely eating tea.

And these temporary workers also called out to some beggars and illegal vendors on the streets.

But at the same time, it can be seen that they will desperately carry the steam-powered pump to run towards the fire accident site, and desperately rescue the lives of the personnel and risk their lives to put out the fire.

The Ming Dynasty has really changed, and they almost lost their understanding.

Officials from the Cabinet Grand Secretary, the Minister of the Six Ministry, the Censorate, and various temples and prisons, and other officials couldn't help but sigh when they saw all kinds of novel things in the capital before entering the Forbidden City.

Not only were the glass windows everywhere in front of them, wooden models wearing ready-made clothes and all kinds of products such as soap and perfume that they had never heard of, but what made them even more sad was the annual report memorials in their hands, and the memorials that were five inches later, almost everyone had tens of thousands of words in their hands.

This is the task given to them by His Majesty today, that is, to make a year-end summary, and Zhu Youxiao has released news that the year-end quality will directly affect the different reward scales of tens of thousands of silver dollars to thousands of silver dollars.
