Chapter 414 Zhu Yuanzhang: After abolishing the prime minister, we will be exhausted!
After this period of accumulation and tempering, even if Ye Xuan didn't say a word, the craftsmen were able to explain those formulas and principles very clearly in their own language.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the generous reward system formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang under Ye Xuan's suggestion.
According to the customs of the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times, it seems that only those who study can have the opportunity to become an official. Otherwise, they can only work hard to gain a future at the founding of the country.
Especially after Zhu Yuanzhang established the household registration system, most people were destined to do what they could do in this life from birth.
At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, there were no problems with this system. It could even stabilize society and ensure class.
But in the future, there will be huge hidden dangers for the Ming Dynasty, including the fact that the craftsmen are too self-conscious and unwilling to make progress.
After summing up many experiences, Ye Xuan suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang that he should directly reward craftsmen with official titles, gold and silver to encourage research and development and innovation.
Even though the official positions most people can get are not too high, there is still a strong temptation for craftsmen.
In just a few months, the creativity of the Great Ming God has already overwhelmed the technological innovation of the next century.
According to Ye Xuan's estimation, if sufficient financial resources and materials were given, Ming Dynasty might have completed the industrial revolution or even carried out a second revolution within a few decades.
By then, perhaps in the Hongwu Dynasty, we would be able to see products like cars.
It's just that he didn't tell anyone about these things. He didn't want to interfere too much, and he didn't want to give Zhu Yuanzhang too much expectations.
Otherwise, who can guarantee whether the bellicose Hongwu Emperor will make any big moves again.
After going around in the Shenzao Bureau, Zhu Yuanzhang promoted several more craftsmen and encouraged the other craftsmen.
The emperor personally awarded and encouraged the craftsmen, which was a great encouragement and excitement to the hearts of the craftsmen.
Even in the months that followed, these craftsmen were still full of energy.
In this atmosphere, Ye Xuan simply put forward a few suggestions, including some small objects that will be commonly used in future life, such as clocks and watches.
Although these things do not have strategic uses, and there are enough substitutes now, for the craftsmen, this is a symbol of innovation.
They don't know that once the precision machining of clocks is successful, it means that they can carry out more sophisticated machining techniques, but they understand that the things Ye Xuan proposed are all treasures.
Therefore, the craftsmen naturally couldn't help but have another round of assurances and discussions.
The monarch and his ministers were walking around in the Divine Creation Bureau quite briskly.
Seeing that time passed little by little, Zhu Yuanzhang finally decided to return to the palace.
After all, although he relaxed for a long time, it didn't mean that he had no official business to deal with.
According to Daming's current situation, it only takes half a day to build a small mountain on his desk.
In the evening, the workload of the afternoon will pile up again, filling up the disappeared hill.
Of course Ye Xuan doesn't know these things.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang preparing to return to the palace, he took a step forward, raised his hands in salute, and prepared to say goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty, I am here to say goodbye to you!"
Because there were no outsiders, Ye Xuan did not follow the courtesy of monarchs and ministers outside, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not care about this.
Just watching Ye Xuan was about to leave, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped him.
"Ye Xuan, there is something on our mind that I have always been puzzled about, so I would like to hear your opinion."
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed very gentle and even hesitant when he spoke.
This reaction let Ye Xuan know that Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that he would cause problems for him again.
However, eating the emperor's salary naturally can only be loyal to the emperor.
After a brief silence, Ye Xuan finally asked.
"Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, just say it clearly. I will tell you everything you know, and I will tell you everything!"
After receiving Ye Xuan's promise, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately showed a smile.
If someone else saw this look, they would probably think that they were dreaming.
You know, Zhu Yuanzhang is usually very serious about words, especially in front of ministers.
After thinking for a short time, Zhu Yuanzhang said shyly: "Didn't we abolish the Zhongshu Province and the Prime Minister? So we have too much work in our hands. You don't know, the emperor now may be the emperor." It’s the coolest job down there!”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan had already guessed most of it.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction, Ye Xuan knew that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear the fatigue after his freshness had passed.
But think about it, a normal person only sleeps for two hours a day, and for several months in a row, which is very difficult for even a middle-aged person, not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang is already as old as this.
…………Please give me flowers………………
But if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't tell the truth himself, it would be hard for Ye Xuan to pick up his words.
So Ye Xuan pretended to be stupid and said: "Your Majesty is diligent. This is the blessing of the people. Our ministers should take your Majesty as a model!"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red and his expression became more and more awkward.
But thinking of his situation, Zhu Yuanzhang finally shamelessly asked the question in his heart.
"What we want to say is, is there any way you can make up for the errands of the Ministry of Education? What I mean is that if we don't restore the situation of the Ministry of Education, you can share our worries and alleviate some of the errands!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said this not for the sake of face, but because he knew that Zhongshu Province had too much power. If he retained it, he would most likely be shut down if his descendants had no political means.
What he wants is for the old Zhu family to last forever. Even if he can't do it, he can't let the power fall aside and create a powerful minister who will harm the country.
Ye Xuan naturally understood the secret, but after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Ye Xuan was not in a hurry to answer.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious by nature. If he directly revealed the method at this moment, he would definitely arouse Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion.
Besides, giving an answer so quickly would make Zhu Yuanzhang look too useless, which would put his face at risk?
After weighing it in his mind, he cupped his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Why don't your Majesty delegate power to the prince?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had naturally thought of this kind of thing, and that's what he did. Otherwise, if he really had to handle everything personally, he might have died long ago.
Naturally, Ye Xuan just talked, in order to give the answer in a less straightforward and easy way.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's denial, Ye Xuan felt relieved, so he continued to pretend to be thinking.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was impatient, he did not rush the master enough this time.
Seeing that Ye Xuan was silent, he stood by and watched, which even Mao Xiang felt a little surprised.
Little did he know that Zhu Yuanzhang was really having a headache from such a life.
He is old, and it is not known how long he can live. If he has leisure every day, wouldn't he be as happy as a farmer?
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was sighing in his heart, Ye Xuan thought of something and replied to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty! I really have a way!"
