Chapter 346 Inviting Mu Ying and Lan Yu to Fujian to Observe the New Army

Chapter 346 Invite Mu Ying and Lan Yu to Fujian to observe the new army!

Following Jiang 𤩽, he entered the palace to report.

The news quickly spread in Jinling.

"The people of Fujian are more blessed than the people of Jinling."

"No, it would be great if our boss would also be willing to establish a shareholding system. If we earn an extra tael of silver every year, I can send my kid to school."

"Stop dreaming! It is said that the big shots in the court are quarreling over this. Many people suggested that King Yan's wrong behavior must be stopped immediately. What they say is that the system of employment and stock ownership will make us lazy and unmotivated."

"Bah! If my boss is willing to give me a share of the stock, so that I can earn an extra tael of silver every year, I'll be willing to do it even if I'm exhausted!"

…

The news caused intense discussions and conflicts among the people and officials.

During lunch time, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Kunning Palace.

After sitting down, he looked at the dishes on the table, picked up his chopsticks and put them down again.

Ma Xiuying frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"

"I can't eat it." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "We are both happy and worried about the fourth child's actions in Fujian..."

It’s nothing more than a rural village community.

Employment stock system...

"The people outside hope that the imperial court will follow the example of Fujian, but the officials in the imperial court are strongly opposed to it. They even use laosi to move ordinary people to Dongfan and dispatch 300 coastal defense troops from Fujian County to Dongfan. These are all used by them to attack laosi. Excuse."

…

Ma Xiuying frowned a little tighter.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

Business ranked last.

Most of the past dynasties, except the Song Dynasty, adhered to the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce.

Even the Song Dynasty did not advocate mercantileism.

It just doesn’t restrict business development.

Officials oppose loosening restrictions on business.

In fact, there are thousands of years of traditional influence of favoring agriculture and suppressing commerce.

There are also other little thoughts at play.

First of all, the Laosi Hire Shareholding System proposes that, according to many people’s predictions, some shopkeepers and stewards who work for businessmen will most likely earn more than officials.

Some people are jealous and have pantothenic acid.

Secondly, don’t look at the fact that officials, who are mainly gentry, have always mentioned suppressing business.

In fact, it inhibits others from participating in business.

Among all the gentlemen in the world, who doesn’t run a shop? Who doesn’t do business?

If there are too many people involved, the business will be difficult to do.

Secondly, they were afraid that Zhongba would promote the system of employment-based shares throughout the country and harm their own interests.

It's actually nothing for these people to make a fuss.

It’s Chongpachi’s attitude that matters.

"What about you? Do you support the fourth child?"

After being married for decades, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not know the reason why Ma Xiuying asked.

He glared, "He started doing it in Fujian. Let's ask him to stop now. How can he do anything if he has lost all his majesty?"

"but……"

Snapped!

Zhu Yuanzhang patted his knees heavily and gritted his teeth, "Forget about other places within the Ming Dynasty, rural village communities only make fuss on the land of farmers and peasants. At best, it only makes it more difficult for the gentry to annex land in the future, making land annexation more and more difficult. The more difficult it is..."

The shareholding system for employable workers is different.

It was to directly attack the gentry, businessmen, and officials.

Whether you want to admit it or not.

This group is the backbone of the Ming Dynasty.

If you are not careful, there will be wars everywhere.

After the establishment of rural villages, Ming Dynasty was already doing well.

Anyway, he was a farmer and an emperor, and he couldn't find a dynasty beyond the establishment of rural villages after looking through history books.

I don't want to bother, and I don't dare to bother.

That old guy Liu Ji said.

The establishment of rural villages greatly curbed land annexation, and the Ming Dynasty had at least five hundred years of national destiny.

Not bad.

Of course Laosi’s employment-share system is good.

Many people living in the city who do not farm will become rich as a result.

With the cooperation of rural communities, wealth will be dispersed and flowed into various groups.

It will not be plundered in large quantities by a few groups who do not pay taxes.

It would be too much effort to comprehensively transform private business.

He was afraid that the world of the Zhu family would be like the world of the Yang family, and that the second generation would perish.

"The fourth child is too good and too smart, which is actually not a good thing. Now we are lucky that Biao'er is not as good as the fourth child, nor does he have the boldness and courage of the fourth child. Just now, Biao'er found us, expressed his attitude towards this matter.”

Biao'er suggested that public discussions should be dealt with coldly, and that in the future, Fujian's employed-worker-shareholding system should be mentioned as little as possible, and the latest good news about rural cooperatives in Fujian should be spread more widely, so as to promote the world's consensus on rural cooperatives.

To the courtiers, it was hinted that this was just Lao Si doing experiments in Fujian to go to sea.

The imperial court will not and does not want to spread this to the world.

…

Actually there is something.

He didn't say anything to Xiuying either.

When the fourth child's performance became more and more outstanding, he thought more than once, what would happen if the Ming Dynasty was handed over to the fourth child?

But now, even if there is this opportunity.

Perhaps, he didn't dare to hand over the country to the fourth child.

As the emperor, he has to be responsible for the people of Ming Dynasty.

As a father, he didn't want his fourth son to end up like Emperor Sui Yang.

History books are all criticizing Emperor Yang of Sui.

But as an emperor, he received some documents from past dynasties that were not released to the public. These documents clearly show that Emperor Sui Yang was actually not that unbearable.

He is just too smart and capable of tossing things around.

Anyone who works less, works hard, and only does one or two things will become a famous and important emperor in history.

"We are not worried about criticism from the DPRK, China and the people."

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang lives, no one can change the world.

"We are worried that the fourth brother will suffer a setback in Fujian after he has set up such a big business and made such a big fuss. At the same time, we want the fourth brother to suffer a setback in Fujian. We protect him and it doesn't matter if he suffers a setback, but we are afraid that he will suffer a setback after going to sea..."

At that time, it was okay if he and Xiuying were there.

We can always support him.

But we are afraid that he and Xiuying will be gone.

Who will back up the fourth brother?

No matter how close brothers are, they are not as close as parents.

"Now, do you know how entangled I am?"

Ma Xiuying couldn't help laughing, "If the fourth brother knew what you were thinking, he would be willing to wash your feet."

"That's why I did that!" Zhu Yuanzhang glared angrily.

As Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao hinted at the employment share system, the turmoil in the court gradually subsided.

Many officials were encouraged.

They regarded this as their first victory over Zhu Di.

...

Lan Mansion.

Mu Ying and his family were invited to visit Lan's house.

After dinner.

The children went to play.

The women also gathered together to chat.

Lan Yu and Mu Ying came to the study.

After sitting down.

Hum!

Lan Yu snorted coldly, "A bunch of fools who deceive themselves actually regard this as their first victory over the King of Yan."

The civil officials in the court have been defeated repeatedly against Zhu Laosi, and they have lost too much.

They actually started to deceive themselves.

"Is this their victory? I suspect that the King of Yan has no hope at all. The prince and His Majesty agree to the employment share system, and they want to go to sea to do it!"

This is what he is most worried about.

The prince does not have the courage to do it in the Ming Dynasty.

It's not the prince's fault.

This matter involves civil and military officials, gentry, and businessmen. This is a force that can subvert the Ming Dynasty.

The prince does not agree to do it.

Very correct.

But what if the King of Yan goes to sea to do it?

Only with money can you raise troops!

Didn't Yu Jing write to his former naval comrades, saying that he would lead the navy and follow the King of Yan back to Nanjing from Qinhuai River to help in the war?

He was very curious.

He was looking forward to it.

He couldn't wait to see Yu Jing's boasting up close.

But he was also worried that in the future, the Yan vassal, who had money and soldiers, would really lead endless warships and suddenly sail into the Qinhuai River, march straight into Nanjing.

It was unlikely that Zhu Laosi would do this.

He still had confidence in this.

But what about Zhu Laosi's descendants?

What about Zhu Yongming?

What about Zhu Yongming's son and grandson?

...

Mu Ying listened carefully to Lan Yu's worries.

Those civil servants could deceive themselves.

As generals, they couldn't deceive themselves the most.

He also agreed with Lan Yu's guess: Laosi didn't expect His Majesty or the Crown Prince to implement the employment share system, but it was just an experiment for future sea voyages.

But Fujian was built.

Laosi went to sea and built.

Report back to Ming Dynasty.

What will the people think?

People's hearts and minds often change in a very short time.

Lan Yu is not worrying about nothing.

...

Mu Ying pondered and said, "Whether the rural village community + hired worker share system can be successful depends on the results of Lao Si in Fujian. Let's wait and see patiently."

What else?

Attack Lao Si?

He can't do such a thing, and it may not succeed even if he does.

There is no need to deliberately watch Lao Si's every move.

At the end of each year, the court will count the various taxes such as land tax, business tax, and head tax in each province.

Once the tax in Fujian increases, it means that Lao Si has succeeded!

Lan Yu nodded, changed the subject, and mentioned another thing, "The King of Yan dispatched 300 coastal defense soldiers to Jilong Island. Although the name is to protect the migrating people of Jilong Island, I think the main purpose is to train new troops in Jilong Island!"

Zhu Lao Si is training troops in Fujian.

There must be some people in the court who will complain that Zhu Laosi has ill intentions.

People have expected this.

While relocating the people, they also sent soldiers to Jilong Island.

There are young and strong people in the families of the relocated people.

One person serves as a soldier and gets paid, which just happens to subsidize the family and establish a foothold in Dongfan.

"Look at this person's methods. While recruiting soldiers, it also happens to provide the people with the initial living problems after they are settled!"

They do things so tightly and cleverly.

The rural villages and hired workers' share system are too much trouble.

But if you say there is no possibility of success.

He will never believe it!

Since Zhu Laosi dared to do it, he must have considered it comprehensively.

Zhu Laosi is a master of strategizing!

If you easily deny it, you don't understand Zhu Laosi at all!

"Now it's good. In order to seek peace, they go directly to Jilong Island to build a new army. We can't get any news across the sea."

As a military general, he is actually more curious about Zhu Laosi's new army.

If there is anything good, follow up with the Prince's Guard.

He and Mu Ying are now responsible for assisting the prince and reorganizing and training the Prince's Guard. They have the power to do so.

Mu Ying smiled and said, "This is easy to do. Let's not be so secretive. Just write to Lao Si openly and ask him about the construction of his private army. Let him have good ideas. Don't hide them. He will definitely be willing to tell us."

As long as you are open and ask openly.

He believes that Lao Si will not hide his shortcomings.

Lao Si is not that kind of person.

Lan Yu smiled, "In fact, I invited you here today for this matter. You know, I had an unpleasant experience with the King of Yan. I think we should write this letter together."

Mu Ying smiled and nodded.

...

One month later.

In May of the twelfth year of Hongwu.

Zhu Di had just returned to the county government from the countryside.

I happened to receive letters from Mu Ying and Lan Yu.

evening.

Zhu Di sat at the table by the window in the room and read the letters from the two of them again.

"Daddy hugs me, daddy hugs me..."

Yong Ming and Qihua, who were already able to run around, came to the side, each holding a leg, babbling and shouting, trying hard to grab Zhu Di's clothes, trying to climb up, but they tried many times and always ended in failure.

Xu Miaoyun, who was making the bed, walked over quickly and picked up the two little guys, "Daddy has something to do, so don't disturb daddy."

"It's okay." Zhu Di stood up with a smile and took the two little guys, "I'll dictate, and you can write this reply for me."

"Just spoil them." Xu Miaoyun scolded with a smile, but sat down at the table. Shiro was too busy during this period, traveling from village to village, building the framework of the local village community, and allocating manpower to follow up. It was rare to get back. Home once, don't let the two little guys think about it.

Even the children miss him very much.

Zhu Di teased the two little guys at the same time and said: "Brother Mu Ying, General Lan personally initiated the construction of the new army. In the middle of next year, I will train at least 5,000 elites..."

…

"If time permits, you two can go to Fujian in person. I will take you two to Jilong Island to observe the new army in person..."

Xu Miaoyun was slightly surprised and then smiled.

Brother Muying and others wanted to learn, so Silang directly invited them to Laifu and took them to Jilong Island to observe for themselves.

Her husband's mind is so big!

Soon, the letter was written.

The two little guys also crawled on Zhu Di's chest and fell asleep.

…

The couple was soaking their feet together.

Xu Miaoyun asked: "Are you not disappointed by the attitude of your father and eldest brother towards the employee-share system?"

"A little bit." Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, "But I can also understand their concerns. Future generations will grieve and ignore it. They will mourn for future generations again. They learn from history. It is normal not to support my torment like this..."

The old man asked Jin Yiwei to send a message specifically for this purpose.

We should learn from Yang Guang!

From the perspective of a ruler, the choice made by the eldest brother and the emperor was right.

At the same time, if his idea is rejected, everyone will be disappointed. He is also an ordinary person.

Fortunately, the old man allowed him to do it in Fujian for some unknown purpose.

Perhaps, the old man wanted to make him fall into trouble.

who cares.

Whatever the reason.

The old man couldn't deny his sincerity.

"I believe it will definitely succeed!" Xu Miaoyun smiled firmly.

Shiro is not Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. He has a hammer in one place and a stick in the other.

The employee-employed share system and the rural village cooperatives are complementary.

Under the assumption of the employee-share system, liberalizing trade is the only way to stimulate rural rural communities to move to a higher level.

At the same time, by intervening in business, it can also serve the purpose of guiding and regulating rural village communities.

Even if rural village cooperatives are established in other places, it will take a long time to develop to a higher level.

But Fujian will surely be able to rapidly develop to a higher level with the help of the employee-shareholding system, the comprehensive and active business atmosphere, and the guidance and intervention of Shilang.

The first sea trade response was very good.

Shen Zhi and others have contacted Lu Zhen and Liang Daoming to plan a second, larger transaction.

Nowadays, more and more powerful gentry in Fujian are taking the initiative to reform according to the employee-share system.

…

After replying to Mu Ying and Lan Yu.

Zhu Di started busy again.

When you are busy, time always seems to pass very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it's been a year.

At the end of the twelfth year of Hongwu.

Jinling City.

"The tax collection from various places will be reported to the court soon, right?"

"The big discussion is about to begin."

"I don't know, how are the taxes in Fujian this year?"

"As long as taxes increase, it means Fujian will become rich!"

…

As the autumn harvest ends and winter approaches, the whole of Jinling is discussing the tax situation in Fujian this year.

In fact, there has been too much news about Fujian this year.
