Four hundred and fourteenth chapter thankless errand
Old Zhu closed the list of martial arts students, and was silent for a while before looking up and said, "I understand what you mean. These playboys can change their minds in martial arts. My incompetent descendants should be able to do it, but..."
At the end, Lao Zhu also showed a hesitant expression again because he thought about how to manage the children of the royal family if they go to martial arts. Although the martial arts system is strict, it is managed by people after all. The royal family has a special identity and is usually under the jurisdiction of the clan's mansion. Even martial arts may be difficult to manage them.
Li Jie and Zhu Biao also saw Lao Zhu's concerns, and they saw them smiling at each other. Then Zhu Biao stepped forward and said, "Father, only the royal family can manage the royal family. My son thinks that a royal family with important identities can be sent to martial arts to supervise them specifically!"
"This is also a solution, but who is the right one?" Old Zhu also looked at Zhu Biao and Li Jie when he said this, but found that both of them looked confident, which made him awaken and said, "Do you want Yun Huang to do this?"
"Qi Bian, the sons and Li Jie do think so. Yun Ying used to go to martial arts often and was very familiar with all aspects of martial arts. Moreover, he is my son and now he is an adult. It is perfect for him to supervise the royal family in martial arts!" Zhu Biao nodded immediately.
"Do you have any detailed plans? Also, are Yun Huang willing? This is a thankless errand?" Lao Zhu asked again.
"There is no problem with Yun's side. I've asked him about his opinion just now. As for the plan, I don't think there is a need to let the royal family make special contributions in martial arts. You can set up an independent class for them at the beginning to minimize their contact with other students so as to avoid conflicts." Li Jie said with his thoughts.
After hearing this, Lao Zhu showed an expression of disagreement. Instead, he was silent for a moment and looked up again: "Have you ever thought about what to do after these royal families graduated from martial arts? Do you also have to arrange for them to enter the army?"
When Lao Zhu said the last words, he also turned his attention to Zhu Biao. The royal family has always been a taboo in controlling military power. Of course, Lao Zhu is an exception. He is the founding emperor, with high prestige and strong ability, so he dared to hand over military power to his son. However, in recent years, Lao Zhu has also hesitated whether he wants to take back the military power from the prince, so as not to be unable to control princes everywhere after Zhu Biao ascends the throne in the future?
Now Li Jie suggests that the royal family can become famous even if they are only a small part of them. In the future, if these people really have a general who is unparalleled and holds military power, will he have any unstoppable ideas about the throne? This is much more than the prince's threat.
Zhu Biao also understood Lao Zhu's eyes, and saw him smile confidently and said, "Don't worry, Father, I will never let things go to the worst. And Father, don't forget, there are examples such as the second and fourth brothers!"
As soon as Zhu Biao said that, Old Zhu immediately understood what he meant. Zhu Chuang, Zhu Di, and even Zhu Zhen before, both had great military achievements, but now they all went abroad, so Zhu Biao could also arrange those excellent royal families abroad, especially in the Americas, completely letting them do anything. Maybe Zhu Di would also welcome these people very much, so that he could have more help.
"Okay, instead of letting them do whatever they want on the fiefdom, it is better to be locked up in martial arts and learn some skills. If you have the strength, let them learn from the fourth brother and the others. If you don't have the strength, go back to the fiefdom and wait for death!" Lao Zhu finally nodded.
"Father, wise!" Zhu Biao immediately saluted Lao Zhu when he heard this, and Li Jie was also very excited to saluted Lao Zhu.
The matter of sending the royal family to martial arts is a killing of numbers. It can prevent these royal family from staying in the fiefdom and making people afloat, and increase the source of martial arts and improve the reputation and status of martial arts. In the end, if someone in the royal family performs well in martial arts, he can completely learn from Zhu Di, Zhu Chuang and others to fight abroad in the future. After all, the territory outside the Ming Dynasty is too vast, so they can rob it themselves if they have the ability!
Lao Zhu immediately sent someone to summon Zhu Yunyu to the warm room and asked about his opinion. Li Jie had already been angry with Zhu Yunyu before, so he agreed happily.
Speaking of which, Zhu Yunyu went to martial arts to supervise these royal families, on the surface, it was indeed a thankless job, and he might offend many people within the royal family.
But if you look at it longer-term, Zhu Yunyu will be mixed with the younger generations of these royal families. Over time, you will definitely develop a certain relationship. You must know that the royal family in the early Ming Dynasty held local military and political power and had a considerable influence on the government. Therefore, if Zhu Yunyu had a good relationship with these royal families, it would be a great help to him in the future for the throne.
Zhu Yunyu saw this above, so he agreed so happily before. After all, he knew that this was an opportunity Li Jie had for him. Of course, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao also understood Li Jie's thoughts, but they didn't care. After all, Zhu Yunyu was indeed more suitable for martial arts than Zhu Yunwen.
However, although the matter was settled, Lao Zhu ordered the news to be kept confidential for the time being because he wanted to announce the news after the birthday party. Zhu Biao and the other two agreed with it very much. After all, if the news was announced, it would definitely cause a huge sensation among the royal family, and many people would even object. At that time, Lao Zhu's birthday might not be good.
Zhu Biao and Li Jie immediately retired, but after they came out, Zhu Biao took the two to his Wenhua Hall and discussed with them the specific matters of the royal family going to martial arts. In addition, Zhu Yunqiu also wanted to put the stairs tax on the stairs tax, and Zhu Biao also had to arrange for others to take over.
However, the implementation of the terraced field tax has completed the first stage, that is, it has been implemented in the Jiangnan area. As for expanding to other places, you need to wait for the opportunity. After all, the terraced field tax alone is implemented in Jiangnan. This is because the land tax in Jiangnan is too heavy and many middle- and lower-level farmers are very supportive. If it is implemented in other places, the resistance will probably be greater.
Time passed day by day, and the day of Lao Zhu’s birthday was getting closer and closer. Zhu Biao and Li Jie also began to put down other matters and concentrate on preparing for the birthday banquet. The civil and military officials in the court rarely met Lao Zhu and had the leisure to hold a birthday banquet for themselves, rather than tormenting them, so they were all very supportive, which also made the preparations for the birthday banquet very smoothly. Now everything is ready, and we are just waiting for the day of Lao Zhu’s birthday.
