Zhu Youxiao looked at his trusted ministers and wanted to despise them fiercely.

Because he had to admit that none of these guys were good things in essence!

On the surface, it seems that the emperor's order is the only one who obeys the order.

It seems that it will be delicious if the emperor is a fart.

But in fact, they are all very smart, and they all want the emperor to play the role of a tyrant, take the blame, and get the reputation of a tyrant. They follow their tyrant, while making money, and they say that they have nothing to do, they are just acting on orders.

Zhu Youqiao could only accept this.

After all, who made him the emperor?

The emperor's role is to take the blame.

The country prospers because the emperor is good.

The country is destroyed only because the emperor is not good.

Just like in history, when the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, Chongzhen had to take the blame. Even if he wanted to escape the blame by hanging himself, he was still being held by later generations.

So much so that a senior civil servant like Xie Sheng, a Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty, quickly turned the blame on Chongzhen for the collapse of the world as soon as he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, saying that he had become a single man and the country lost his country.

Chongzhen naturally had to bear great responsibility, after all, he was the emperor.

But fundamentally, the defeat of the country was not caused by the emperor alone. Otherwise, if the demise of the Ming Dynasty was really just the personal reason of the Emperor Chongzhen, then the Southern Ming Dynasty should not have been defeated so quickly after Chongzhen hanged himself in history.

Let's turn the words back.

Anyway, Zhu Youxiao knew that since he had reached the position of emperor and became the helm of the ship of the Ming Empire, he had to be prepared to take the blame at any time.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao then added: "According to Chen Xinzhi's proposal, it seems that the establishment of the coastal defense insurance system will not drag down the court, but will help the court increase its income. If this is the case, then deepen the coastal defense insurance and change it to pay every year. All the scholars and citizens of the Southern Ming Dynasty who pay 50,000 silver coins every year can receive ten times the compensation when suffering from sea disasters, and they will pay for twenty years. Even if they do not encounter sea disasters in twenty years, they will receive ten times the profit;

In addition, the benefits brought by the court every year, whether it is sending naval troops to fight pirates to regain their property, or the court uses this money to organize caravans to trade and make profits, they all pay dividends according to the profits brought back, in addition to the insurance amount paid. As the emperor, I pay 100,000 silver coins directly from the treasury to the insurance bureau every year, and I also participate in the insurance!"

Fang Congzhe, Bi Ziyan and others became even more excited after hearing this.

Chen Ce and other generals could not help themselves.

This is not just about paying sea defense insurance to buy peace. It is simply about paying money to invest. Fortunately, the court will send troops out to plunder a large amount of wealth in the future and participate in dividends after returning. This is an opportunity to make a fortune!

So, these ministers wanted to smell the fishy cat, and their eyes were brightly watched Zhu Youxiao.

Fang Congzhe could not help but say at this time: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, this insurance policy is beneficial to the scholars and people to restore their family business, which is a favor of the country. However, this favor cannot only benefit the scholars and people in the south, and the scholars and people in the north should also have insurance. After all, the scholars and people in the north are often harmed by external enemies, especially the people on the nine borders. The cruelty of the Tartars is not inferior to the pirates. Therefore, I believe that border guards should be set up in the north. I believe that the gentry in the north are willing to pay this insurance, and the money paid can also be taken by the court to benefit the people."

"Accurate! The minister, together with the Ministry of Revenue, will immediately call on the people of the world to pay maritime defense and border defense insurance. Paying insurance is not tax, and it does not require Western factories to pay, but it is entirely registered and registered by voluntary registration! In addition, there is another thing. Although it has been agreed to solve the problem of pirates plundering the coastal areas, it is now agreed to use maritime defense insurance to solve it, but it cannot be said that it is not really paying attention to maritime defense. It is planned to establish the position of the five southeastern provinces, and abolish the five southwest provinces, and Zhu Xieyuan will take charge of the Japanese defense!"

Zhu Youxiao immediately replied.

He naturally didn't mind that the gentry from the north also participated in colonial plunder, after all, the Ming Dynasty was not only half of the country.

He had already thought that Zhu Xieyuan would be the governor of the five southeastern provinces.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, the main ones who can command troops in the Ming Dynasty are Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Keli, Sun Chuanting, and Zhu Xieyuan.

Among them, Zhu Xieyuan is from Suzhou and is of the same clan as Xu Guangqi's grandmother. Therefore, the Zhu family behind him also participated in the official textile industry. Therefore, Zhu Xieyuan did not stand opposite Zhu Youjia because Zhu Youjia's new policy reform violated the interests of gentry. Now Zhu Youjia asked him to be transferred to the five southeastern provinces. As a gentry in the south, he naturally knew more about how to mobilize coastal gentry to defend against pirates and was more motivated to do this. After all, his family interests are related to maritime trade, and they are also tied to the official trade.

"Abide by the order!"

Fang Congzhe replied, and he was very excited.

Chen Ce couldn't help but touch his nose, thinking that this assistant was a northerner, and even such a good thing that was originally only related to southerners actually brought the northerner scholars in.

Chen Xin couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Old guy, even if there are border troubles, what are your family in the capital afraid of? If you want to share the pie, just say it!"

...

"The Chen family in Guancheng, Dongguan County, Guangzhou Prefecture, paid 50,000 silver dollars in principal for sea defense insurance!"

Starting from the first day when the Insurance Bureau was established in the capital, Chen Ce, the right governor of the former Army Governor's Office, asked his servants to come here with 50,000 yuan silver coins and paid the insurance money.

Not only that, King Hirado Zhu Yousong also took 10,000 silver coins: "This doctor, I am the King of Hirado Zhu Yousong, and I also paid 10,000 silver dollars as insurance principal. Please log in to the account."

The insurance bureau's doctor in the Ministry of Revenue could not help but ask: "No, Your Highness, are you also worried that your family business will be taken away by pirates or Tartars?"

"Isn't that true? The vassal of the king that His Majesty gave me is Hirado. I heard that if it is overseas, if it is stolen by the pirates, it will naturally be my loss. I will naturally have to pay a deposit to protect my vassal of the king."

Zhu Yousong replied.

"And I, Zhu Youjian, the grandson of the Tang Prince's Mansion, paid a silver coin of 500 yuan!"

At this time, another son of the Ming Dynasty family, namely Zhu Youjian, walked in.

When Zhu Yousong saw him, he quickly turned around and bowed and said, "Are you from the Tang Prince's Mansion?"

"Yes, I have met His Highness Hirado," Zhu Youjian also bowed and bowed.

"If Your Majesty had not issued an order to let all the vassal kings and their senior princes and grandchildren come to Beijing, I would not have the chance to see you guys, go and have a drink together, what if? I treat you!"

Zhu Yousong took the initiative to suggest.

"Your Highness is kind, I dare not refuse."

Zhu Youjian hurriedly replied.

"Then let's go, when will you enter Beijing? All the clans should have arrived?"

"All have arrived."

...

Before this, Zhu Youxiao issued an edict to let the vassal kings and their adult princesses enter the capital, now these vassal kings and royal families have indeed entered the capital.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao began to carry out the reform of the vassal state.

On this day, after Zhu Youxiao agreed on military training and coastal defense, he specially summoned the royal families who were summoned to Beijing to Damingyuan for summoning.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also asked Zhu Youjian to accompany him.

Zhu Youxiao had issued an order to grant Zhu Youjian the title of King Xin, but he did not join the vassal state and still stayed in the palace for him to teach himself.

Now Zhu Youxiao asked Zhu Youjian to accompany him to meet the royal family members of the vassal kings who came to Beijing because he planned to let Zhu Youjian, the vassal king who was closest to him, participate in the affairs of the vassal king in the future.

Zhu Youjian is fourteen years old now and can participate in certain matters.

As soon as he saw these vassals, Zhu Youxiao said straight to the point: "You already know the purpose of summoning you to Beijing. I don't say much. I just want to see the illegal statistics of the vassal kings in the past thirty years summarized by my elder brother Zhu Youjian. You will know why I want to discuss the reform of the vassals. It is not that I want to change it, but for the sake of our Zhu family's country. It has come to a time to change it."

Zhu Youxiao said, and ordered: "Youjian, read out the illegal laws of the vassal kings you counted in advance and listen to them all."

"Abide by the order!"

Zhu Youjian immediately replied.
Chapter completed!
