With the departure of Zhu Youzun and Dier, the actions of the princes of the Ming Dynasty finally came to an end. Although there will be some personnel and materials to be sent in the future, Li Jie no longer needs to worry about it personally.

Under this situation, Li Jie also suddenly became idle. It started from Zhu Di to America and until Zhu Youzun and his trip to Oceania. For several years, Li Jie was working hard on this matter. Now he was idle all of a sudden, and he was still a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Zhu Wenqi still needs his education, so he won’t have nothing to do, so in the next period of time, Li Jie also focused all his energy on the two children Zhu Wenqi and Li Chonghe.

For children's education, we must not just take them around to play. It is only one aspect to increase their knowledge. For children, especially children of Zhu Wenqi's age group, the basic knowledge must be well established.

So Li Jie simply set up a small academy at home. In addition to Zhu Wenqi and Li Chonghe, his and Zhu Xueqing's children, as well as Dier's children Zhu Zikan. Although these children are of different ages, there are not many of them anyway, so Li Jie simply teaches according to his aptitude and can take care of it.

However, Zhu Yunxiu would not let Li Jie stay idle all the time, so he was often summoned to the palace to ask about politics during this period, mainly to deal with some reform issues within the Ming Dynasty.

Everything in the world is in constant change, and politics is the same, especially like the Ming Dynasty, which is in a period of drastic social change, so many things are changing, and the court's policies must also change.

For example, the household registration system established by Lao Zhu at that time divided the people of the world into farmers, military households, craftsmen, etc. This household registration system did play a certain role in the recovery of domestic production at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. However, with the development of society, not only did the household registration system no longer apply, but the system derived together with the household registration system also needed to be changed.

For example, taking businessmen as an example, Lao Zhu had prejudices against businessmen, so he set various rules and regulations for merchants, and even stipulated the material and color of clothes. However, with the development of business, the status of merchants has begun to improve, and some merchants even secretly broke these regulations, so some regulations have long been in name only.

It was also under this situation that Zhu Yunyu decided to reform some out-of-time rules and regulations in the country. In fact, since Zhu Yunyu ascended the throne, he has been revising the Ming system. For example, the transformation of official officials was the biggest change. Although the imperial examinations are still being held as usual, they are no longer as important as before. Many people prefer to start with minor officials. As long as they perform well, they will not be difficult to promote in the future.

Compared with the official transfer, the resistance encountered by other systems is not great. After all, many systems are out of place, which not only affects the people, but also causes a lot of inconvenience to the government.

Of course, the changes in the household registration system still have a great impact. After all, this involves too many people's interests. However, with Zhu Yunyu's prestige, no one dares to object. After all, even all princes have been rectified by him, so other ministers are naturally not a problem.

So shortly after Zhu Youzun and his friends went to sea, Zhu Yunyu issued an order to abolish the original household registration system, but promulgated a new household registration system. After all, household registration is still very important. It is just that the original farmers, military households, etc., which divide the original household registrations into Ming household registrations and will no longer be subdivided.

In other words, the people of the Ming Dynasty no longer had to be restricted by household registration. The farmer's son could work and do business, and the merchant's son could also be an official. It can be said that for the Ming Dynasty, household registration suddenly became loose.

However, to the outside world, the Ming Dynasty's household registration became more stringent, because with the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, many overseas merchants also came to the Ming Dynasty to settle down. Although the Ming Dynasty did not reject these overseas merchants, it was not welcomed. After all, there were examples of the Pu family in Quanzhou at the end of the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, the current household registration of the Ming Dynasty is also very valuable. For example, the Ming Dynasty encourages the people to immigrate to the north and the Western Regions. As long as the people of the Ming Dynasty are, they can get a certain amount of land or pasture when they go there.

In addition, when princes from all walks of life went to Nanyang, they also actively recruited the people of the Ming Dynasty to settle down. Even if you know nothing, you can get a certain amount of land. After all, compared with local natives, these princes still trust the Ming people more. If they want to consolidate their rule in the local area, the people under their rule must be dominated by the Ming people.

It is precisely because the Ming Dynasty household registration has so many hidden benefits that overseas businessmen also want to obtain the Ming Dynasty household registration. In the past, the management of this aspect was not very strict, which led to some people taking advantage of loopholes. Now of course, it is necessary to tighten it. After all, the Ming Dynasty wants to maintain the stability of the subject ethnic group.

In addition, there is no ethnic division within the Ming Dynasty. Whether you are a pure Han people in Guanzhong, Henan, or an ethnic minority in Yunnan, or Hainan, they are all unified with the Ming Dynasty household registration, and they will be collectively called Ming people in the future, and their children will also receive unified education to avoid any trouble in the future.

It can be said that household registration reform is the core of the entire reform, and all aspects involved are the most complicated. Therefore, Zhu Yunyu would come to Li Jie to discuss many things, and Li Jie also put forward a lot of opinions, which prevented the Ming Dynasty from taking many detours.

"Brother-in-law, look at this!" That afternoon, after Zhu Yunxi and Li Jie discussed the reform, they suddenly handed a memorial on the table to Li Jiedao.

Li Jie took it and opened it. When he saw the content above, his eyes lit up. This memorial was actually written by someone to Zhu Yunyu through reforms, explaining the harm of the rapid expansion of the number of royal families. Li Jie once mentioned this issue to Zhu Yunyu. However, at that time, the vassal states were just beginning to be reduced, and the remaining princes needed to be comforted. Therefore, the two of them could only keep this matter in mind for the time being and plan to make plans in the future, but they did not expect that someone would mention it now.

Li Jie was also very curious about this person who wrote the book, so after reading the memorial, he took a special look at the signature, and found a familiar name, and the person who made this suggestion was Yang Rong.

Yang Rong was also one of the three Yangs, and Yang Shiqi also claimed that although he was not as famous as Yang Shiqi, his political achievements were not bad at all. For example, in history, Zhu Di wanted to move the capital, and many officials in the court opposed it at that time, but Yang Rong strongly agreed. Even when Zhu Di went to war, he suddenly passed away. It was Yang Rong who commanded the overall situation that allowed the Ming Dynasty's imperial power to be successfully handed over.

Thinking of Yang Rong's achievements in history, Li Jie nodded in admiration. He is worthy of being a famous minister in history, and it is not surprising that he has such a vision now.
