Chapter 1621: You have no jokes

Emperor Hongzhi felt that his face could no longer be held back.

This is true every time. Just one sentence is taught to you and you will have to say ten sentences.

So Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say, "Oh, what's the matter?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "I took advantage of my father's absence... No, it was during the reign of the country that I formulated a new law. In order to promote scientific research, I decided to set up a Academy of Sciences in the army and provinces. In addition, under the foundation of this Academy of Sciences, I will set up a school, and everything is copied by Xishan Academy."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his face was gentle.

Zhu Houzhao said again: "My son is preparing to set up a standing army, intending to replace all the original garrisons. The father also knew that the past garrison system not only made military households difficult, but for the court, their battles were low and unusable. Although the father had long been thinking of reforming and abolishing, he could not make up his mind. Didn't he just think that the standing army cost a huge amount? But now, the treasury annual income is growing year by year, and the time is ripe, so the son is going to take over the father.

I am determined that there are thousands of military officers in the Military Academy in Xishan, and the capable military officers in the army are enough to set up a stand-up. My son thought that if we want to protect the world in the Ming Dynasty, we need to set up thirty-six naval and army horses. This first military horse was first created from Erchen. We have all the names called "Champion Guard". The quota is tentatively set to 5,000 people. In the future, it can be expanded to 20,000. My son has trained the first guard, and in the future, this standing army can follow the example. In this way... this new army has become."

standing army……

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his first reaction was that his heart was bleeding.

Although the previous Weishu system had many disadvantages, there was one thing that was good, that was to save money.

The court only needs to take out the land and let them be self-sufficient, so they can raise a large number of military horses. In normal times, they almost don’t need to pay a little money, but once it comes to war, the court only needs to allocate some money and food to go into battle.

The combat effectiveness is a little worse, but I can't stand the cheapness.

Although the court was well aware of the disadvantages in this regard and carried out some reforms to some military and horses, especially the guards, after all... they were still not thorough enough.

For example, the hereditary system of military officers, most soldiers were drawn from military households, and some relatively new weapons were equipped.

This is the strategy of Emperor Hongzhi to turn things around. On the one hand, he used this to slowly reform, and on the other hand, he still took the idea of ​​saving as much as possible.

But the prince actually wants to be reborn.

The king, minister, father and son obviously have completely different opinions in this regard.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that his teeth were a little sore, but... the pain was so painful, he did not accuse Zhu Houzhao. This was just a different concept, but after all... the prince still did serious things.

Emperor Hongzhi calmed down and said, "It seems that you are quite disturbing. After all, you are the prince and have been in charge of the country. Although you have made a proposition without authorization, you are still diligent in political affairs. You can do this matter carefully."

He held his hands behind his back, wondering, the court did not report such a big thing quickly, maybe... this is the newly issued edict by the prince?

Emperor Hongzhi had a gentle face. He was not afraid that Zhu Houzhao would do something wrong. After all, he was still there. He was afraid that the prince would not be willing to do things. If so, then in the future, the Ming Dynasty would be in trouble.

His heart became warmer, and his eyes fell on Liu Jian and others, but he saw that Liu Jian and others looked as if they were dead.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled. They still didn't think it was easy. But I was just thinking it was easy. There was nothing wrong with letting my children and grandchildren do some things. The prince was smart, even if it was something, it was a bit too radical. So what?

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi did not blame him, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief, and then hugged Fang Jifan and started to look at him.

The two brothers have not seen each other for many days, and they seem more intimate.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately entered the palace, but was afraid that Zhu Houzhao would be tired, so he said, "Since you have already welcomed the emperor, it is your filial piety. Thank you for your hard work these days, you can go and rest."

Then the other party Jifan said, "Jifan, you have to take a break."

The two of them immediately ran away as if they were amnesty.

Although Emperor Hongzhi was sympathetic to his younger generations, he had just returned to the palace and had to make sense of many things. So he went to Fengtian Palace and summoned the cabinet and the six ministries to meet.

Emperor Hongzhi looked around and looked at these ministers with humeral hearts. Except for Ouyang Zhi, the rest seemed to want to say something and stop. "The prince is still peaceful these days, and there is no trouble in the court?" "Your Majesty..." Liu Jian immediately said with pain: "The old minister thought... it is inappropriate for the prince to build a new army. It is not that the old minister did not know that the current military discipline was broken, and the court should not change the course and rectify the source, but... it is just... there are several difficulties at the moment. First, if the new army is trained, what should the military officers of the lineage do? Second, the cost is too huge. I am afraid that the treasury will not be able to make ends meet in the future. Now the treasury has finally had a little surplus..."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "I can understand the thoughts of the Qing family, and I think it is too much. But... since the prince has supervised the country and issued an edict, how can he break his promise and become fat? The prince is also a king. If he turns against his edict this time, who will still recognize the prince in the future? A gentleman's word is as good as his master. This is the basic principle of winning the trust of the people of the world. As for the national treasury... you can't worry for the time being, after all, he has just built the first army now, and I think... there will be no big obstacles. "And... And... "Liu Jian looked worried.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Hey, Liu Qing family, you need to understand that the prince has grown up and should not treat him as a child anymore."

"Your Majesty, but the old minister is really not angry." Liu Jian coughed: "The key to the problem is that the prince took advantage of the moment of training the new army and issued an edict... to grant himself some official positions."

Emperor Hongzhi: “…”

It seems... Emperor Hongzhi didn't find it too surprised...

His own son seems to be a little official fan.

Well... it was actually a bit unexpected. At least Emperor Hongzhi did not expect that when he was reincarnated, the prince would come like this. "What did he seal it?" "This..."

Liu Jian and all the ministers were speechless.

Emperor Hongzhi then pulled his face down: "Don't you dare to say anything?"

Liu Jian said helplessly: "No, no, it's just... the old minister has a bad memory and can't remember it. Please ask Your Majesty... The Hanlin Academy will take the sealed edict, and you will know it at a glance."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing next to him, and Xiao Jing understood: "I will go to Dong Pavilion now."

In just a while, Xiao Jing came out of breath, holding a stack of edicts...

This posture...

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were about to fall off. "I miss!"

"The prince is smart, and his literature has achieved martial ethics. The wise princes of all dynasties cannot be as good as possible. Today, the matter has not been seen in a thousand years. The imperial edict said: I will order the prince Zhu Houzhao to be the mighty and sacred commander of the new army, the father of the new army, the adoptive father of the official army, Fang Jifan of the Duke of Qi, who is meek and respectful, and is the uncle. I also said: The prince studies the principles of science and benefits the world. I will add the prince Zhu Houzhao to be the grandmaster of the Tianxia Academy. I also think that Fang Jifan of Qi is still smart and is the deputy..."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his scalp became numb and he seemed to want to explode on the spot.

He took a deep breath and interrupted Xiao Jing and said, "That's all?"

"There is still..." Xiao Jing stretched the tail sound and seemed to be hesitating whether he should report the truth. Finally, he said obediently: "Many..."

Emperor Hongzhi's face was a little stiff and frowned and said, "What else?" Some were appointed as master craftsmen, some were ordered to be the commander-in-chief of Spain, the governor of Portugal, and North Korea, and Ryukyu countries... "

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "Don't read it."

Xiao Jing immediately said: "I obey the order."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian: "Has the edict been issued?"

Liu Jian smiled bitterly: "The old minister also wanted to argue, but... everything was too sudden... Not only did it be sent, but early this morning, he also ordered the copying of the mansion report."

Emperor Hongzhi: “………”

"Your Majesty, the old minister is hesitating. Your Majesty is right. After all, the crown prince is also the crown prince. The so-called king has no jokes... But... In addition... His Highness also added all his official positions to the first rank..."

"What does it mean to add to the first rank?" Emperor Hongzhi's face turned pale.

Liu Jian said truthfully: "It means... he has to receive his salary. The old minister calculated it. There are 73 officials listed in all major and small positions, and 73 first-rank salary... The prince ordered the people from the Eastern Palace to go to the Ministry of Revenue to suggest that he would pay the salary at the end of the month, saying that the prince would dare to owe the salary, and if the upper and lower beams were not straight, will the people still have a way out in the future? If those unscrupulous merchants follow the example, then the etiquette and music will be broken."

Emperor Hongzhi began to calculate crazily in his mind, how much salary this rank of senior officials was paid every month.

"In addition... there is also the Duke of Qi... The Duke of Qi also has seventy-three salary. Fortunately, his seventy-three are from the first rank."

Emperor Hongzhi: "…”” Your Majesty, look…”

Emperor Hongzhi was a little depressed and sighed: "I don't have such a son."

Others, look at me, look at you, and after hearing the emperor's words, I felt surprisingly happy. These days, everyone is really frustrated.

But Emperor Hongzhi's face slightly slapped: "He is the prince... the prince of the governor, the public is public, the private is private, and the money should be given, and he has a lot of money. If he wants to do it well, I will punish him for his salary."

What can I do?

Although I really don’t want to admit that this is my son, it’s still my own flesh and blood after all.

Emperor Hongzhi is now starting to worry again. If you say that the prince’s actions are not harmful, it seems that it is not very harmful, but why is this guy so unrestrained?
