After hearing Ye Chunqiu's words, Zhu Houzhao was actually a little stunned. After all, he was just a person who grew up in a greenhouse, and such people were probably taken for granted.

There is no big reason in what Ye Chunqiu said, but he just expressed his own thoughts in the plainest tone, just like a heart-to-heart talk, not disgusting. However, with Zhu Houzhao's ability to understand, how could he not understand?

So Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but show a little depressed look and said, "You say this, I will be discouraged again."

Ye Chunqiu smiled instead: "In all dynasties, there are actually the most compassionate people, but such people often do things badly and even cause disasters. If we talk about the good or bad of people, my brothers think that many people are good people... For example, Wang Mang, Wang Anshi, and even my brothers dared to say that they are Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, etc., who are surrounded by Emperor Jianwen, have noble character, and have always adhered to their own ideas. They have seen the symptoms and understood the key to the problem. However, they took everything for granted, so when they really did things, it would cause disasters. People who can often do things are turbid currents. They are familiar with the worldly affairs.

, do things slowly, never speak any big talk, and there are no deafening remarks. Although the new policy is good, it is a castle in the air. It is no different from the reform of Wang Mang, the reform of Shenzong, and even the new system proposed by Fang Xiaoru. If your Majesty wants to change, since it cannot be changed, then create it out of thin air. To make it difficult, we will start a new business. This is also the original intention of the State Government at that time. We should build a new army to be different from the guards and the Jingying. Your Majesty and my brother run the Investment and Merchants Bureau, which is different from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works. Your Majesty, we abandon those red tape and countless constraints to do something that has never been seen in ancient times. This is what I just said to change the economic foundation and lifestyle."

After saying this, Ye Chunqiu paused and said, "But we can't learn those reforms. If you want to achieve it overnight, neither your Majesty nor your brothers should be too hasty. Not only are you not anxious, but you should slow down. Don't let people feel anything. Just make progress every day and change a little every day. When someone is alert and looks back suddenly, it will not be easy to kill it."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be happy, as if she finally understood the essence of what Ye Chunqiu said, and a knowing smile appeared on her face, saying, "Oh, it turns out that you are asking me to abolish the new policy and concentrate on re-engaging your new policy."

New policy?

Ye Chunqiu was stunned for a moment, is this a new policy?

Ye Chunqiu thought about it carefully and felt something was wrong. He never wanted to change anything in the design of the system. Ye Chunqiu only cared about the economic foundation. Among a group of landlords, you raised your arms and shouted, "I'm going to start today. I'm going to start capitalism. From then on, I will focus on business and suppress scholars. People like this are definitely crazy and have a trance. In less than two days, even if you give you 100,000 new troops in the country, you will be beaten up by the people of the world and unable to take care of yourself."

Everything is essentially demand. Because the prosperity of business will give birth to a new veterinary class. The new veterinary class will grow and will naturally begin to demand more rights. With more rights, they will naturally choose a system that is more beneficial to them.

No one is more noble than the other. In essence, they are all a group of veterinary and profit-making classes. The reason why merchants replaced landlords and the new system eliminated the old system is more adaptable to the needs of productivity than to call it progress.

To a certain extent, in an era of low productivity, if a large amount of manpower and material resources are piled up on merchants, it is undoubtedly a crime. However, once productivity develops, human resources and resources are placed on landlords who are profitable, it is also a crime. There is no good or bad person. Those same people, the gentry who built bridges and roads yesterday may become all evil gentry who imprisoned humans tomorrow. This is not that human changes, but just keeping pace with the times.

What Ye Chunqiu said, Zhu Houzhao still seemed to understand, but he trusted Ye Chunqiu and did not worry too much. He nodded fiercely and said, "But I can trust you, you are my brother."

Uh... there was a little enthusiasm that made Ye Chunqiu feel at a loss.

Ye Chunqiu and Zhu Houzhao talked about some things roughly before leaving the palace.

After waiting at home for two days with peace of mind, he finally got the order to regain grace. The officials of the Ministry of Rites came, which meant that the newly promoted sixth largest prince not only received confirmation from the palace, but also received support from the cabinet and the six ministries.

Since Emperor Wen, the attitude of the cabinet and officials on any title reward has always been harsh. To put it bluntly, the title is a long-term meal ticket, which is an iron rice bowl. But the problem is that the court has raised many princes and nobles, especially the clans, and there are countless children, and the burden has always been very high. At this time, anyone who wants to get involved in the long-term meal ticket ranks will inevitably be examined by the court with the most harsh means, especially the Duke of the State, which is too valuable, so there is no duke, so from Emperor Wen to Chongzhen hanging on the Coal Mountain, there is no duke. But when he arrived in the Southern Ming Dynasty, he suffered the disaster of national destruction. In order to resist the Qing army going south, he was distributing long-term meal tickets everywhere.

Seeing that the person who came was a ritual official, Ye Chunqiu breathed a long sigh of relief. It was actually not easy to make the court and the palace make a consensus decision. Those bureaucrats didn’t really say that they could not even afford to raise a duke, but they set a precedent when they were most afraid of this. Once this case was opened, wouldn’t all kinds of male monkeys grow like bamboo shoots after a rain? This really made people unable to live.

It was really a blessing that Ye Chunqiu was able to get the title of this Duke of Zhenguo. On the one hand, because he had already been prosecuted, the palace and the court did not expect Ye Chunqiu to come back alive, which caused this huge misunderstanding. On the other hand, Ye Chunqiu's contribution was too great. He quelled the rebellion with his own strength, which was a great achievement, and it was not considered a precedent. After all, few people in the world could imitate it.

Ye Chunqiu received the order and felt a lot of emotion. The Ye family...has truly entered a wealthy family. Old Mrs. Ye tried hard to pretend to be calm, but was still so excited that his hands were trembling. Fortunately, the ritual official was still there, so he was not worried that he would fall into a mad state again.

The ritual official handed over the imperial edict to Ye Chunqiu, and then smiled and said, "Duke Zhenguo, congratulations, oh, this is the silver seal and wardrobe given by the imperial palace, as well as silver belts and iron scrolls. Please accept it together."
