Advise the Emperor to Relinquish Power
Chapter 772:Advise the Emperor to Relinquish Power
Zhang Bin just returned to Beijing to visit his daughter and his grandson and then hurried away from Kunning Palace, to the Qianqing Palace royal study, on the surface he was at the request of the queen, his daughter to persuade the emperor to rest, but in fact, he wanted to persuade Yongxing to decentralization.
In fact, he has been thinking about this trip to the mainland, just the time of sailing at sea is not less than four months, when the sea is boring always to find something to pass the time, he thinks of the most is this problem.
The royal family of Daming does not know what is going on, and it is particularly important to see the power, but it is a little competent, or a more diligent emperor, that everything has to be taken care of, everything must be grasped in their own hands, and everything must be personally questioned.
If the emperor is a Ming emperor, this is nothing, such as Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu rule, such as Zhu Di's Yongleheng, such as Zhu Gaozhu and Zhu Fangji's ben Xuanzhi, as long as the emperor's ability, do not commit, do not be stupid, he has to do everything.
But once the emperor is a fainter or a fool to be fooled, it is trouble.
For example, Ming Yingzong favored the eunuch Wang Zhen, when the power of the court seemed to be concentrated in the hands of Ming Yingzong, in fact, Ming Yingzong is like a puppet, everything listens to Wang Zhen, the result is finally a change of civil castle, the great Ming Dynasty nearly a hundred years accumulated almost destroyed, a powerful to the world's invincible moment of the decline!
Another example, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, because of the national dispute and the court officials to the opposite, he was a criminal, directly came to ignore the dynasty, Daming through the Longqing Kaihai and Zhang Juzheng reform is not easy to go to ZTE's great situation was destroyed, followed by the rise of gold, the peasant uprising, Daming directly died!
There are many reasons for the demise of a dynasty, such as land mergers, such as natural disasters, such as corruption, etc. There are various reasons, but these reasons almost all have the prerequisites for the death of the country, that is, the emperor was incomparable or incompetent at that time, such as the second emperor of the Han Dynasty, such as the Sui Dynasty's queering emperor, such as the Tang Dynasty's Yi and 僋 Zong.
Zhang Bin is most afraid of this, with the existing regulations, if there are several fainting princes in succession, the iron will die!
How do you try to avoid this happening?
He believes that the best way is to let the emperor properly decentralization, as far as possible to allow the courtiers to maintain the normal operation of the country, so that even if the faint, the impact is not very large.
This seemingly reasonable idea is the most unreasonable in this era, because the royal family of Zhu Ming cares too much about the power in their hands, as if a little power, this Ming does not belong to them!
Yongxing Emperor Zhu Cichun what the idea, Zhang Bin has not yet tested, if his idea is the same as the perpetual calendar and Chongchen, it will be troublesome, both of which regard power as more important than life, once the imperial power is "challenged", the Lord will turn his face in an instant, of course, if he is as more troublesome as the British and apocalypse, the emperor's power to the eunuch, it is purely the way to die.
Zhang Bin frowned and mused all the way, until he entered the royal study, he did not have full confidence to persuade Yongxing Emperor, because he did not know that his apprentice in the heart of the body of the power to see how much power.
He was a little regret at this time, how he had not thought of testing in this regard, this time to let people change their minds, it seems difficult, perhaps, at a certain extent, the emperor is not happy, let it go first, when this is the test.
Yongxing Emperor Zhu Cixi did not know that his master was here to persuade him to decentralization, he was still as kind as ever to Zhang Bin, and he got up to meet, and sat on one side, even, because the little prince was born, he also seemed quite excited, Zhang Bin sat down, he excitedly said: "Master, you go to the house, this little guy, really cute, look at the prince."
What is this, cute and what has to do with being a prince, it seems that the emperor is really a little too happy, Zhang Bin can only smile and say: "Well, the real loveliness of the couple is really cute tight."
Zhu met with a nod, then asked: "Master, what is the result of this European trip, Portugal and Spain have not accepted the conditions for the alliance of Daming."
Zhang Bin smiled and said, "Hon Fu, King João IV of Portugal and Philip IV of Spain have signed the contract, our merchants have been free to trade in their colonies, this time the micro-shen came back and specially divided the business area for several large businessmen, and they also began to allocate goods to the sea to expand their business."
Zhu Cihui heard the words, not from the interesting words: "Oh, really, the specifics are the big business help, where are they doing business areas?"
Say it, he even got up to personally turn out a new map of the world, spread it on the desk, and motioned Zhang Bin to show him.
Zhang Bin to the map, patiently introduced to Zhu Cichuan, from Donghu, Mughal to the European, the Americas, he introduced it in detail, which country's colonies, the local is roughly what situation, he has introduced one by one.
Zhu Cihui listened, not to help but rejoice: "So many colonies, such a large area, the tax of the year is afraid to increase by tens of millions of dollars?"
Zhang Bin smiled and shook his head: "No, once their business is on the right track, the tax will increase by at least 30 million and two in the year!"
So much, that big tax is not the same as doubling!
Zhu Cixiao couldn’t help but say, “Are there so many, and these places don’t seem to be rich?”
Zhang Bin patiently explained: "Because they are behind, Daming's goods can quickly open the market, because they can't do such a good commodity, or make it far worse than Daming, and Da Ming can also rely on their own processing advantages to obtain raw materials in various places and then pull back for processing and then sell them, so that Daming's domestic workshops and workshops will also increase production."Of course, all of this requires strict control of the court, and if they are allowed to do business privately, then it is difficult for the tax to rise.”
Strict control, this seems to be very difficult ah, Zhu Cixian looked at the vast area of the map, can't help but: "Master, such a big place, how can Da Ming strictly control it?"
This Spanish and Portuguese colonies are indeed very scary, add up to more than the two big Ming, if you count the European, that is equivalent to three big Ming such a large area, how to manage these places business Daming merchants is indeed a big problem.
However, for this, Zhang Bin was early to prepare, and he slowly arched: "Emperor, please forgive the courage of the little courtiers, and rent most of the town's far cruisers to the major merchants."
Zhu Cizhi heard a word, this, what is the reason for renting the warship to the merchant?
He was curious, “Master, why should you rent most of the town’s far cruisers to the big merchants?”
