Become a member of the cabinet.

This is a huge temptation.

Zhu Gaochi admitted in his heart that when the prince's uncle said those words, he was moved.

Non-vegetation.

As a clan member, I have natural advantages, but I also have countless taboos.

Now that I am in charge of the tax bureau, it is only because this yamen is relatively independent from the various yamen in the court, and it is also the position that can offend people the most at the moment.

Sitting in the tax office means that it is impossible for him to collude with court officials now.

It is even less likely that he will be respected by the local gentry and wealthy families.

As for the people?

With the support of the people alone, it is impossible for anyone to achieve anything at this time.

But it would be different if he really entered the cabinet.

Uncle, is this a test, or is it sincerity?

Zhu Gaochi was a little confused.

When Zhu Biao saw that his fat nephew was silent and just smiled, he reached out and patted Zhu Gaochi on the shoulder, then raised his head sideways and frowned slightly.

"You have really grown up. Now you are much taller than your uncle."

Zhu Gaochi immediately nodded and bowed: "It's just that the nephews eat better now than the uncle did back then. If they eat more, the baby can't stop growing."

Zhu Biao smiled slightly and said noncommittally: "But you thought uncle was testing you just now?"

Zhu Gaochi said nothing.

"I think I have such an idea." Zhu Biao said ambiguously, and then said: "The Ming Dynasty is no better than the previous dynasties, and you are a pure and kind-hearted person. Even if you really hold a high position in the court in the future, you will never

I will not do anything harmful to the country."

Zhu Gaochi was speechless.

At this moment, it was because of Zhu Biao's trust in him.

Zhu Biao said: "Uncle, I trust you very much."

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi was completely silent.

After he lowered his head, his eyes kept flickering.

At the front, the old man, accompanied by his grandson Gou'er, kept buying various useful and useless things.

Probably for the old man, no matter whether it is useful or not, the money he spends will always be useful.

This is the greatest meaning.

The ladies in the harem and Tang Queqing, who were behind and guarded by a group of royal guards, were carrying two babies and were full of curiosity about everything around them.

It's like a mouth breathing fire.

It can make these women scream in surprise.

Then, one of Sun Gouer's apprentices picked out a portion of the reward money that he had prepared early and threw it out.

The royal family is enjoying themselves with the people.

Zhu Biao looked at the scene around him, everything was so harmonious and harmonious.

People's livelihood is prosperous, singing and dancing are flourishing.

This is a sign of prosperity.

Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "Some people say that Tang Xuanzong lived too long. If he died at the end of Kaiyuan, he would be comparable to Tang Taizong, revive the Tang Dynasty, and rebuild the world.

However, this prosperous age is like a blazing fire and burning oil. It looks high-energy, but if there is even the slightest mistake, the hot oil will splash everywhere and the result will be heavy damage.

So whether it was the fault of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty who lived too long or the fault of the prosperous Kaiyuan era, who can say?"

There are always different opinions on history, and everyone can tell a story.

If you are more interested, you can even write a few words based on history, mix in personal life, and disguise the cold history, so as to make it look like what you want in your mind.

Zhu Gaochi frowned slightly, feeling a little solemn in his heart.

Today, the uncle first mentioned whether he would join the cabinet, then talked about Xuanzong, and then talked about the prosperous age.

This is not something you hear every day.

Zhu Gaochi nodded and bowed, followed Zhu Biao step by step, and said softly: "The court is about balance, and the countryside is about equal distribution. The Ming Dynasty did not have the vassal towns that were heavy in the Tang Dynasty, and there was no heavy civil servants in the Song Dynasty. Uncle, you are too worried.

…”

"Is your uncle really overly worried?"

Zhu Biao turned around, kept walking, looked at Zhu Gaochi, and asked quietly.

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment.

Having been the prince for almost thirty years, my uncle has the most stable political wisdom in the court.

He couldn't answer for a while.

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Back to just now, my uncle said that if you are allowed to join the cabinet, it will only be when the time is ripe in the future.

Brother Xi has changed a lot in the past few years, but I have never had too much control. Even after thinking about it, I feel that there should be no control. Fortunately, everything he does is considered qualified, and the court has also made rapid changes in the past few years.

But what if it takes time?

Can Brother Hei still be so enterprising? Or, with his already violent temper, can he really think before he acts?"

Zhu Gaochi's brows furrowed even more.

This topic became increasingly difficult for him to talk about.

Zhu Biao sighed softly: "You are a good boy. My uncle has noticed it in the past two years. In the clan, there are many talents in your generation, but you are the most kind and pure, and you are the most obedient in everything you do."

.So...the uncle is thinking that if there is any disaster in the future...for the court, you have to stand up for our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Gaochi stopped completely.

His eyes flickered non-stop, and he finally understood the true meaning of what the prince's uncle said tonight.

Today, first the old man issued a will, and now his uncle told him this, asking him to stand up when problems arise in the court.

All this has been going on since the beginning today.

Zhu Biao turned around and looked at Zhu Gaochi who had stopped, with a smile on his face.

That is the kind of charity that only elders in the family can show when they look at their own children and nephews.

He waved to Zhu Gaochi: "Are you distracted? Follow me."

Zhu Gaochi immediately took steps and followed Zhu Biao back.

At this time, Zhu Biao said again: "I have always said that you are kind-hearted. But if you really think about the country and the country, you need to be more strict in your actions in the future. If you really encounter obstacles and the country will not be able to move forward, the things you hold in your hands will

It’s not impossible to drop the knife.”

These are all sincere teachings.

Zhu Gaochi cupped his hands and bowed his head: "My nephew understands."

Zhu Biao always had a smile on his face and nodded: "It's good to know, that's good."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After saying that, he had no intention of continuing, he put his hands on his back and began to look closely at the Yingtian City in it.

Yingtiancheng has undergone great changes recently.

There are many new things on the streets that were not seen in the past.

A large trash can is placed about every fifty steps on the street. From time to time, one or two women and children wearing special blue half-sleeves will be seen, carrying brooms and long clips, cleaning up all visible objects on the road.

Trash.

"This is the cleaning system of Yingtian City created by Zou Xueyu, right?"

Zhu Biao changed the topic and pointed to the trash cans on the street and the women and children in blue shirts who were cleaning the streets all the time.

Zhu Gaochi immediately stepped forward and replied: "Yes, according to Zou Zhifu's original petition, firstly, it is to keep the capital clean, and secondly, it is to resettle these poor people with money and food provided by the government. In this way, the capital is well-deserved

The most charitable place can also subsidize the poor people. Now it seems that Zou Zhifu is really doing practical things."

Generally speaking, small matters like this would not come before Zhu Biao. When Zou Xueyu's memorial from Ying Tianfu reached the cabinet, it was immediately approved by a vote.

Zhu Biao then turned to ask: "How can we ensure that the women and children employed by the government will not be deprived of their pay, or have their positions occupied by relatives of officials in the yamen, and then recruit real poor people to work at a discount?"

They take quotas and pay empty wages, and officials occupy positions and then recruit people to do things.

In an instant, Zhu Biao thought of this matter, which might end up being a fish in troubled waters.

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while, tried hard to recall, and then explained: "It seems that Zou Zhifu made a list outside the government office. All the people who were recruited were on the list. How much food will be given each month? Where do they live?

It is recorded. There is also an account book to record the expenditures, which can be read at any time by the Ministry of Accounts, the Procuratorate, or the Imperial Guard."

A more stringent and close supervision system can more effectively prevent corruption.
