Jiao Fang fell to the ground with a look of panic on his face, and said hurriedly: "Why did Your Majesty say this? Forgive the old minister's stupidity and poor chess skills, which disturbed His Majesty's interest. The old minister is willing to think about his mistakes in the door..."

Zhu Hou's eyes flashed with a few mockery, but he looked at Jiao Fang coldly.

Jiao Fang is now in a dilemma. It is absolutely impossible to admit that he is a fool, because he has been fooling His Majesty for several years. In the past few years, he has played chess many times. Every time he pretends to be too similar, which makes the little emperor happy. If he admits that he is a fool, wouldn't this mean that he has been deceiving the emperor over the past few years?

So he could only kill himself for not being good at learning skills and looked nervous and trepidated. Even at this time, he still had plans.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed a few times. At the moment when he knew the truth, he was already full of anger. Now seeing Jiao Fang resisting his death, he suddenly raised his chess cup and slammed it hard on Jiao Fang's head.

Bang...

The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet is like a stray dog ​​at this moment. The chess cup hit Jiao Fang's back head. Jiao Fang's mouth twitched in pain, but he still crawled and couldn't speak out. At this moment, he was really panicking. His own tricks were already useless in front of His Majesty. He was thinking about a plan to turn things around, but when Zhu Houzhao heard Zhu sternly, "Old dog, do you think you can bully me like this?"

Old dog...

As soon as these words were said, they were like a bolt from the blue slashing on Jiao Fang's body, leaving Jiao Fang's face with no blood.

It's over.

It's completely finished.

In the 120th year of the Ming Dynasty, no grand sage was denounced as an old dog by the emperor. Even if he was convicted or even if the disaster of his life had arrived, he would never have happened.

Jiao Fang raised her eyes and said sadly: "I am old and weak, please forgive me..."

"I'm not sure!" Zhu Houzhao stared at Jiao Fang and said sternly: "Do you want to go back to your hometown? I'm not sure, get out, get out!"

Zhu Houzhao was already furious. Last time, although he was angry with Jiao Fang, he thought about Jiao Fang's usual benefits a few days later, and slowly he became a little angry. Although he still felt that Jiao Fang hated him, he did not have any murderous thoughts. But now, when he found that everything before was deceived, what was even more terrifying was that when he was proud of his chess skills, Jiao Fang praised him on the surface, but was afraid that he was still laughing at him behind him.

No one likes to be fooled, no one wants to be regarded as a fool, and Zhu Houzhao is no exception.

Zhu Houzhao's words of rolling, Jiao Fang was full of thoughts. He realized that the catastrophe had finally come, but he was as scheming as him, and at this time there was no way to eliminate the little emperor's resentment towards him.

Jiao Fang stood up tremblingly and said goodbye, but Zhu Houzhao avoided himself and was unwilling to accept his salute. She looked elsewhere and completely thought he was air.

Jiao Fang had no choice but to retreat with a look of disappointment.

Zhu Houzhao was still angry when he left, and his chest was undone. When the little eunuch came to pour tea, he took a sip of the tea and said coldly, "I have never seen such a person before."

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but silently said in his heart that there are many shameless people, and what His Majesty saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned to Ye Chunqiu, and his face finally calmed down. He squeezed out a little smile and said, "Didn't scare you? Alas, where I will not play chess anymore."

Ye Chunqiu smiled a little and said, "Playing chess is just entertainment, it's not that you have to compete for strength and be competitive. Your Majesty is a saint among the people. People in the world will not mind how your Majesty's chess skills are."

This made Zhu Houzhao think of Datong's memorial again, and he suddenly became cheerful again.

Yes, am I not a saint? Why did I suddenly become a saint? Just like a dream, thinking that my father was worried about labor every day and was barely just a wise man in the market, Zhu Houzhao finally turned anger into joy and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you something. Originally, I wanted to use labor for relief, but several masters in the cabinet opposed it, saying it would be better to exempt the tax."

Ye Chunqiu was stunned for a moment. He thought that his work-for-relief was a good idea, at least better than simply exempting taxes. He never expected that the cabinet would unanimously oppose it.

Logically speaking...work for relief...

Zhu Houzhao said at this time: "The masters said that the resistance is too great, and people will inevitably be panic, saying yes..." Zhu Houzhao frowned and blurted out: "As soon as this example is opened, all places will follow suit."

Ye Chunqiu suddenly realized that he was afraid of this.

Work-for-relief is actually a real relief to those poor and poor families. If they can survive, who will work? So although it is urgent to save the real poor, it is not good for those real land owners; however, the real beneficiaries of exemption from taxes are local gentry and gentry. They have a lot of land and suffer losses this time, but life will definitely continue. But once the taxes are exempt, the losses of the disaster can be compensated.

If Datong used the method of labor-for-relief and encountered disasters, this example would be used. The local pressure was indeed great. At least the officials in the court would make a fuss. The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet might not be willing to stab the hornet's nest because of his selfishness. Liu Jian and his wife were not reformers after all. They were the leaders of all officials. How could the top figure among the literati and officials be willing to anger their basic foundation?

Thinking of this layer, Ye Chunqiu also knew that it was difficult to implement labor-for-relief. Zhu Houzhao comforted him and said, "It's okay, at that time, I ordered the Ministry of Revenue to allocate more money and food, so that people will not starve or freeze."

Ye Chunqiu bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "Three brothers, we are brothers, so there is no need to say these words. You are not Jiao Fang."

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's apologetic look, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but strike the railway while it was hot: "Your Majesty, I have an idea. The wealth of Zhenguo Mansion mainly relies on strange and lewd things. Now there are many skilled craftsmen who specialize in research. I want to set up a special research institute under Zhenguo Mansion to provide some skilled craftsmen to get rid of production..."

Before he left, Zhu Houzhao smiled: "Oh, don't report it to me. You can make any decisions if you think about it. If you want to set up a research institute, you will set up a research institute. Oh, you want to ask for an official for them, right? This is not true, unless you are a minister, okay, you can draw a memorial, I will follow it at that time. You have to make the rules, and I will make the decision."
