My Daming New Empire

I thought that if Daming built an arena with 10 people, then more people would be able to watch Cuju competitions in the future.

However, it costs a lot of money, which seems a bit wasteful!

When Mrs. Zhang heard Li Liang's words, she understood a little bit in her heart.Although she was not happy about her nephew marrying a Xiyi woman, since Zhu Zhanji supported her, she didn't want to confront her son.

At the very least, when she goes to see each other tomorrow, she will not look at each other with critical eyes, but will try her best to look at each other with a fair look.

It is enough for Zhu Zhanji to be able to do this.

With Zhang Wu making a start, it will greatly promote the integration of people from other ethnic groups after the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 6 The Rules of Procedure of the Ming Dynasty

In terms of status in the palace, the princess Zhang is only the third generation. Above her, besides concubine Zhu Di and other nominal mothers, there are also some old concubines from the Zhu Yuanzhang period. grandma generation.

But in terms of power structure, she is the nominal second person in the palace.After the death of Empress Xu, Zhu Di did not make another queen, but only made Zhang Fu's sister a noble concubine and took charge of the harem.

Although Concubine Zhang Gui is the elder in name, she is ten years younger than the Zhang family, and she has just turned [-] now.

She is younger than Zhang Shi, and entered the palace later, and Zhang Shi is Zhu Di's carefully selected daughter-in-law for his son. She has directly told Zhu Gaochi many times that if it weren't for Zhang Shi's daughter-in-law, you would not be able to be The prince said so.

Therefore, Concubine Zhang Gui did not dare to treat the Crown Princess slowly, and the two of them gave in to each other and worked together to maintain the peace of the harem.

When Zhu Zhanji formed a real alliance with the Zhang family, Concubine Zhang Guifei did not dare to act in front of the Zhang family for the sake of the family's continuation in the future. In many cases, she even relied on the Zhang family's opinions.

A royal daughter-in-law is not enough to just manage the harem.In addition to these, there is another important duty to meet nobles, civil servants and wives, canonize noble ladies, maintain order in the backyard of the entire court officials, and extend the power of the royal family from another angle.

Therefore, although the Zhang family has been the crown princess all these years, her power is to some extent greater than that of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

Because the two Zhang families jointly manage the women's family members in the world, there is no constraint, and the crown princess Zhang is still the main one in foreign affairs.

But Zhu Gaochi, the prince, dared not take care of anything except his own Zhanshi Mansion.

Mrs. Zhang's going out of the palace, even if it was only a few miles away to Taisun's farm, was a major event, and she had to report to Concubine Zhang. Zhu Di, who was in the harem, also got the news that night.

"Tomorrow is young, although Mrs. Zhang is only assisting Concubine Zhang to preside over the ceremony, she is also busy with affairs. Why do you have to leave the palace early tomorrow morning?"

Zhang Wu's arrival this afternoon was not concealed from anyone, even the staff in Zhu Zhanji's study were not dismissed. As the chief steward of the palace, Wang Yan was of course the first to get the news.

Hearing that it was only for a nephew's marriage, Zhu Di couldn't help but cursed with a smile. "It's a nonsense, Zhanji is a nonsense, and Mrs. Zhang even joins in..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Di himself felt that something was wrong, and pondered.After a while, he asked, "Dog, what do you think Zhan Ji intends to do?"

Of course, Wang Yan would not express his opinion when Zhu Di was in doubt, he paused and said, "I don't understand His Royal Highness Grandson's intention..."

Zhu Di didn't expect Wang Yan's answer, so he asked, "Where is Zhanji?"

As Zhu Zhanji's ally, Wang Yan, who had already bet on Zhu Zhanji, spoke for Zhu Zhanji: "Since your Highness returned to the capital, he has been meeting every day during the day, and he has been busy until the early hours of the night. It can be said that he has forgotten to eat and sleep."

Zhu Di naturally knew this, and dared not say that Jiajiang Industrial Zone, or Dongying, whether it was a bank or the army, had paid too much attention to Zhu Zhanji.

He turned his head and said: "Bring me my cloak, let someone carry the sedan chair, and go to Xingqing Palace in a light car."

Although Zhu Zhanji strongly opposed officials taking sedan chairs, it was not a one-shot attack.For example, people get married, and the old, weak, sick and disabled travel in sedan chairs without restrictions.

There used to be a lot of sedan chairs in the palace, but after Zhu Zhanji opposed using people as riders, Zhu Di rarely took sedan chairs anymore.But he had severe rheumatism, and he was not able to walk when he was ill. There were many steps in the palace, so it was convenient to take a sedan chair.

For the emperor Zhu Di, the whole world belongs to him, and no one is more qualified to ride a sedan chair than him.

In the Xingqing Palace, Zhu Zhanji was studying the accounts of the Daming Development Bank for the past three years. The Development Bank was used by Zhu Di as his own money bag, and he misappropriated funds at will, and he did not want to make up for the hole in the follow-up. The account problems in the middle were more serious than those of commercial banks. many.

After Zhu Zhanji came back, he wanted to use the Development Bank to kill the chicken and scare the monkey. It would be impossible if he didn't know the inside story.

He taught the bookkeeping method of the bank. In modern times, he managed a huge business empire by looking at various reports, so he found countless problems easily.

Every time he found something, he would write it on a note with a pencil, and Sun Lin's staff from the Information Department would investigate every point clearly.

The north wind was bitter outside the house, but the movement of Zhu Di and the others came in still disturbed him.As soon as he sent someone out to inquire about the situation, Zhu Di entered his study with a chill in a short while.

Seeing more than a dozen people in Zhu Zhanji's study room serving on both sides, and dozens of other people, each with a pile of various materials and accounts in front of them. There are countless account books in the entire study room, which seems a bit messy, but from all In the orderly actions of people, we can see the law in the chaos.

Zhu Di had a look of surprise on his face, he had only seen this kind of situation in the court meeting.When there are too many affairs in the court meeting, dozens of eunuchs will be responsible for reviewing and summarizing the materials about the affairs, and then report to the emperor Zhu Di.

But now, Zhu Zhanji is doing the opposite. In this way, he breaks down his orders into detailed rules, and each person is in charge of a direction.

Therefore, Zhu Di saw the benefits of this arrangement at a glance. There was no need to find the result or answer later. Zhu Zhanji could get the result any time he wanted to know the details.

From an early age, this grandson often likes to innovate.Zhu Di suddenly realized that over the years, he had affected the entire Daming up and down.

The reform of the navy, the establishment of industrial zones, the expansion of fleet trade, the invention of telescopes, the application of cement, and even the army, because now there are barbed wire fences, are not afraid of any cavalry raids at all.

In particular, the establishment of the bank allowed Daming to have his own money bag, and gathered all the silver in the hands of the common people, so that the court was no longer afraid of running out of money.

Within the scope that Zhu Di allowed him to involve, he already had his own set of behavioral concepts and principles, which showed the characteristics of a qualified heir, and even far exceeded Zhu Di's expectations.

He basically does not interfere in the aspects that are not allowed to involve him, and strictly abides by his own restrictions.

This alone is much better than his confused father who still can't figure out the facts.

As he grows older, Zhu Di has no fear in his heart, only comfort.

He even had some expectations that it would be more appropriate for him to go to war next year and let the grandson supervise the country directly than the prince.However, at that time, the prince should also be transferred out of the capital, so as not to let him become a hindrance.

In an instant, Zhu Di had many questions in his mind, and Zhu Zhanji and the others also reacted, and hurriedly visited Zhu Di.

"Exemption..." Zhu Di waved his hands, walked to the innermost part with his hands behind his back, and came to Zhu Zhanji's desk.

When he saw the account books of the Daming Household Development Bank on the desk, his old face turned red. He also knew that in the past few years, he was the first to break the rules and transfer a lot of funds from the bank.

He will spend money, but he will not be able to maintain the operation of the bank.Anyway, in his heart, the bank was run by his grandson, and he must have a way to make the bank continue to develop.

Zhu Zhanji noticed Zhu Di's face, and felt a little funny in his heart. He didn't expect that a generation of emperors would sometimes be embarrassed.

"Grandpa, please sit in the lounge of your grandson. It's messy and crowded."

Zhu Di hummed, and squeezed out a sentence; "You are tired..." turned and entered the lounge behind.

This lounge is not big, it is a three-room small room separated by Zhu Zhanji at the back wall on the east side of the Xingqing Palace, where he occasionally takes a lunch break.

In addition to the bedroom, there is a comfortable living room outside. Like the later generations, it is furnished with a circle of large and comfortable fabric sofas and soft couches.

Wang Yan arranged for a few young eunuchs to immediately move a few charcoal basins in, immediately raising the temperature in this small room a lot.

Zhu Di sat on a large sofa, kicked off his shoes, and put his feet on the charcoal basin to bake. Wang Yan helped him cover his body with his cloak, and he looked very comfortable immediately.
