Chapter 224 Zhu Yuanzhang wants to make Hu Weiyong prime minister!
Zhu Yuanzhang promised Ye Xuan that he would not embarrass the Shen family and Shen Wansan in the future.
Among them, Zhu Yuanzhang had his own considerations.
The Shen family is a merchant's home.
Although the country is as rich as a country, it needs an army but does not have an army, and it needs power but does not have power.
Can't make any waves.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not take the Shen family seriously.
In addition to Ye Xuan's suggestions during this period, the colonies dumped goods and made a lot of money from maritime trade.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang is also greedy for money from the Shen family.
But not so greedy anymore.
After all, the national treasury is full and there is no shortage of money.
In addition, Shen Wansan is Ye Xuan's father-in-law.
If he lets Shen Wansan go, he will undoubtedly be able to win over Ye Xuan.
A businessman and a resourceful counselor who can make the country healthy and prosperous.
Which one is lighter and which one is heavier?
how to choose.
He could still carry it clearly.
This is why he chose to let the Shen family go.
No matter how rich the Shen family is.
He can handle them easily.
If the Shen family were exchanged for a counselor who could make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment and the country be prosperous, Zhu Yuanzhang would naturally be extremely happy.
"We are not stingy people either."
"The previous grievances between the Shen family and us will be wiped out."
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Ye Xuan didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to speak so easily, and was very happy.
This hidden danger of landmine has been removed.
Then the Shen family is fine.
My father-in-law and his cheap brother-in-law are also fine.
His wife and children will also be fine.
Everyone is happy.
After thinking about it, Ye Xuan quickly understood why Zhu Yuanzhang let the Shen family go.
First, the country is no longer short of money.
The second is because of his relationship with the Shen family.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to sell a favor to himself, and deliberately said that he would use his own merit to offset it.
Ye Xuan undoubtedly took advantage of it.
Use your merit to buy dozens of lives of the Shen family.
So worth it!
After all, human life is the most precious thing in the world.
It is difficult to exchange for tens of millions of gold.
Now I can pay for it with merit.
This couldn't be better.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ye Xuan sincerely thanked Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang could let Ronger's family go.
Let go of your prejudice against businessmen.
Let go of your hatred for Shen Wansan.
This was enough for Ye Xuan to sincerely thank Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back, and his body involuntarily exuded the majesty of an emperor.
"Although we will not embarrass the Shen family and agree that the Shen family can conduct maritime trade with other merchants, but there are no rules and everything must be done according to the rules. My dear, you should understand this.
he gestured.
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with the Shen family to go to sea and conduct maritime trade.
But you have to follow the rules.
Just pay taxes.
The more income a merchant earns from maritime trade, the more taxes he needs to pay.
This is still Ye Xuan's strategy.
This prevented merchants from taking up most of the maritime trade and making the country unprofitable.
The use of import and export customs taxes can benefit the national finance.
And this import and export customs tax is a hegemonic monopoly.
Whether you want to give it or not, you have to give it.
This tax is also calculated based on the quantity and value of the goods.
The more those merchants conduct maritime trade, the more taxes they pay, and the more fiscal revenue the country earns.
This strategy is mutually beneficial to the merchants and the Ming Dynasty.
It's better than Zhu Yuanzhang's previous ban on the sea.
Merchants cannot conduct sea transport.
It is difficult for the country's economy to develop.
"My lord, I understand."
"The Shen family and their ministers are good citizens who know the law and abide by it. They will definitely abide by the rules and the taxes will naturally be paid according to the rules.
Ye Xuan gave a satisfactory answer to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang indeed showed a satisfied smile.
The two exchanged some more pleasantries.
Ye Xuan thought that he had asked for the desired result, so he resigned to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"I will not disturb the Emperor."
"Resign here."
"Well, go ahead."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
He also had a lot of official documents to deal with and was very busy.
There was no time to talk nonsense with Ye Xuan.
When Ye Xuan walked to the door, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly seemed to have remembered something and stopped Ye Xuan and asked, "What does Aiqing think of Hu Weiyong? Can he be his prime minister?"
Ye Xuan:…………
If Zhu Yuanzhang wants to make Hu Weiyong his prime minister, just do it.
Ask him what he does.
And it's not easy for him to get involved in this kind of thing.
Ye Xuan speculated that the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang wanted Hu Weiyong to be prime minister was because he wanted to abolish the prime minister.
Historically, Zhu Yuanzhang praised Hu Weiyong as prime minister.
Hu Weiyong simply does not have the talent and ability to serve as prime minister.
And very authoritarian.
Such a person was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang.
There is no other reason.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to abolish the prime minister system.
But the prime minister system has been passed down for more than a thousand years.
It is impossible to abandon it at will.
If it were abolished directly, it would definitely be opposed by the ministers.
So Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of Hu Weiyong's greed and ambition.
And let Hu Weiyong go.
Let the ministers direct and perform a drama in which Wise Monarch tolerates the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister succeeds.
.......0
Then get rid of Hu Weiyong.
Put all the blame on the prime minister system.
It is logical to abolish the prime minister system that has existed for more than a thousand years.
In the Hu Weiyong case, Yong was completely exploited.
But ambition blinded him.
He doesn't know it.
Instead, it is dictatorial.
The officials were disgusted.
Falling into Zhu Yuanzhang's trap.
The system of prime minister was abolished.
Centralized the power of the emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang could also clean up a wave of heroes.
Ye Xuan, who was aware of the status of Hu Weiyong, the hero Zhu Yuanzhang wanted, felt that he must not get involved in this matter.
As for asking his opinion?
view?
No idea.
No opinions at all!
Damn it.
How could he deal with this kind of thing?
If one is not good, he will die.
Ye Xuan trembled all over, his face remained as usual, and his heartbeat accelerated slightly.
.....00
"Everything depends on the emperor."
"I don't have any objections.
Ye Xuan said.
Damn it.
You can do whatever you want.
Don't bullshit me.
If you want to establish Hu Weiyong, it's no big deal to me.
Just do whatever you want.
Don't ask me at all!
He complained crazily in his mind.
"Your Majesty, I have something to do with my family. If you have nothing else to do, I will retire."
Ye Xuan already wanted to run away.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang nodding, Ye Xuan ran away immediately.
*:.......
Then he shook his head and smiled.
This kid really has no desires or desires.
However, no matter how smart this kid is, I'm afraid he can't guess what we want to do, right?
Zhu Yuanzhang thought slightly proudly.
Just like in history.
Zhu Yuanzhang prepared to design Hu Weiyong.
Then abolish the prime minister system.
Then harvest a wave of heroes by the way.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his strategy was really clever.
Able to achieve one's goals silently.
Eliminate those who threaten the imperial power.
Stabilize the imperial power.
Zhu Yuanzhang had no idea that Ye Xuan knew what he was up to when he heard that he wanted to establish Hu Weiyong, so Ye Xuan ran so fast.
Out of the palace.
Ye Xuan looked back and felt that the officials during Zhu Yuanzhang's time were indeed pitiful.
There was no welfare at all, and he had to be plotted by Zhu Yuanzhang all day long.
However, it has nothing to do with him.
Now Ye Xuan has enough power to protect himself.
Zhu Yuanzhang can do whatever he likes.
It can't be done to him anyway.
