"Change the post station to postal service for the open-source people of Daming!"

Early in the morning, the sunrise has just risen, Zhu Yuanzhang is already sitting on the side of the imperial case, looking at the piles of zhangzuo.

But did not expect to touch the first book, actually is the king of Wu Zhu Yun Yun's article.

"Open source for Daming?"

Open source is to open up increased financial sources, Zhu Yuanzhang's face shows a hint of a smile, "Brat, not a small mouth!"

The larger the territory, the more difficult it is to govern, and at the same time, the larger the territory, the larger the gap between the rich and the poor. Daming has only just been established not long ago now, and has yet to fully come out from the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. The people are poor, the country is poor, the ministers are racking their brains how to solve the financial constraints.

And Desert Seas and years of military, although it is a victory, but the military expenditure is the most headache.

Many ministers are afraid to say open source, you a brat dare to say!

Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile, turned the folders, slowly read.

"There are more than 1,500 stages in Daming, which are used to transmit official documents and receive passing officials. There are post masters, officials and helpers, dozens of people in small posts and hundreds in large ones, as well as horses, ordnance, livestock and servants. For this reason, the state spends millions of dollars and grain every year."

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly nodded his head, "Brat has insight!"

"In the early years of the state dynasty, His Majesty decreed that no stage may be used for non-military matters. Stagecoaches could only be used by the government, but the situation varied from place to place, and so did the stagecoaches."

"In the northern borderlands, there were frequent wars, so the post stations could not be used by the people. But the southern quarters, the country is peaceful, the court spends money and food to support the post station, is not it a big use."

"I think, nowadays, the world's commerce is frequent, the southern places, in addition to the canal, the caravan is frequent. If the post station can be opened for commercial purposes, for the people to deliver letters, for the merchants to provide accommodation, for the goods to provide warehousing, then every year the court can collect the money, more than a million!"

"En!" Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang gazed up.

He was not an emperor who grew up under the education of an old man, and in his heart, he did not agree very much with the hierarchy of the scholar-peasantry-industry-industry, and he did not look down on the merchants either. He knew that a country relying on the people to farm the land alone could not create a glorious heyday.

Only the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment is a prosperous world, the people work in contentment, can be farming, can work, of course, can also do business.

But at the same time, he also has some prejudice against merchants.

The capital of Daming is in the south of the empire, the most prosperous place in the world, the business is controlled by generations of merchants, the rich and the dignitaries, the people are at most the streets and alleys of the goods.

Those who have been in business for generations, the rich and powerful have ways to evade taxes and make the imperial court suffer.

It has been a headache for the court to collect the commercial tax.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the zhang folds and shouted to the door.

"Come man!"

"Slave girl is here!" Yellow Dogger appeared.

"Summon Liu Sango, the Minister of the Central Book, Fu Youwen, the Minister of the Household, and Zhan Hui, the Minister of the Ministry of Appointments."

"At your command! "

Catching up with a diligent and hardworking emperor, the ministers have a hard time. Zhu Yuanzhang got up before dawn every day to read his sang-fu, which meant that the ministers had to get up even earlier.

The eunuch went to pass the decree, and in the office room of the former chief cabinet minister, several ministers received the order, and after organizing their clothes and instruments, they came at a fast pace.

Fengtian Hall, the emperor's face hidden behind the high folders.

The people did not know what the emperor had called them for, and their hearts were more or less apprehensive.

"Subjects see Your Majesty, my emperor .......... "

"Alright, every day long live the ears are calloused!" Zhu Yuanzhang behind the zhangzhi laughed, implying a good mood, "All are people, who can live to long live? Bullshit!"

Said, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the zhang fold to the eunuch, signaling to the ministers, "Here's a zhang fold, you guys take a look and talk!"

The ministers looked at each other, first Liu Sango, then circulated Fu Youwen, Zhan Hui. After the three looked at it, their faces were a little strange.

They are all the mainstay of the Daming, naturally they can see what the zhangzuo said means. But there are advantages and disadvantages, and even many naive and delusional place.

"I have the audacity to ask Your Majesty, whose zhangzuo is this?" Liu Sango spoke first.

When giving them the fold, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately tore off the page with Zhu Yunzhang's name, at this time laughed, "You don't care who's it is, say it!"

Liu Sango slightly contemplated, "I thought , this folding said really big fallacy, the post station is the court established, used to pass the military affairs, how can open to the people! Once open, the government and the people are not separate, easy to make trouble!"

This is not an unprovoked, the post station is used to deliver official documents and receive officials. If it is opened to the people for delivering letters and goods, in case of a mistake in the official documents, delaying the state's important events, the loss would be more than worth it.

"Ministry of households, tell me!" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to speak after the zhang.

"I do think that this zhang folding has a few redeeming features!" Fu Youwen, the Minister of Household, laughed.

"Oh? Tell me, where is it desirable?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed again.

Fu Youwen once again looked at the zhang folding, opened his mouth and said, "There is a paragraph of vernacular text, I think it is desirable." Said, read up, "the state to support the stagecoach personnel, but also responsible for the repair of the house, to provide food to the passing officials, if it is used by people okay. But a lot of post stations empty there, waste of national money and food for nothing!"

"If you open it up to the people, you can charge a certain fee, so not only do you not need to spend money to subsidize the post station, but you will have a balance!"

"Are you saying that opening it up for civilian use will bring revenue to the court?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"If it's open, it must be!" Fu Youwen said, "Every year, the Ministry of Revenue has to take out a large sum of money to supply the post stations around the country, and if the post stations can be self-sufficient, the court saves a large sum of money. Take last year as an example, in the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, just for the post stations south of the Yangtze River, it was as much as one million six hundred and eighty thousand taels of grain silver, not counting things like salt and tea ......"

"And the local officials layer by layer deductions, the real to the hands of the post station instead of not much is not it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang lightly a sentence, the crowd cold sweat immediately down.

There are officials where there is greed, but the emperor hates greed. Since the throne, how many officials because of silver two words, plagiarized family, lost his head.

Even some officials because of the embezzlement of disaster relief silver, directly by the emperor lit the lantern, skinned to the people to do the drum of injustice.

But even so killed, the local or not long-eyed continue to covet.

Today, the emperor suddenly said the word deductions, but where the case of corruption and ink, the emperor to kill again?

Thinking of this, several ministers of the Ming cold sweat.

It is really killed by the imperial master afraid, his old man moved up the knife, that can be really head rolled.

Who knows, Zhu Yuanzhang did not follow, but instead continued to ask.

"Ministry of Appointments, what do you think?"

Zhan Hui, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, hurriedly said, "I think there are advantages as well as disadvantages, Your Majesty's holy heart is arbitrary, I dare not speak out of turn!"

This old grease like words, immediately made Zhu Yuanzhang feel greatly tired.

His emperor is really tired, his subjects do not understand his heart, everything is afraid of taking responsibility, everything is his decision.

Silent sigh, Zhu Yuanzhang did not attack.

To the yellow dog said, "Go, summon King Wu to come!"

King Wu?

The following few courtiers looked at each other, what does this have to do with King Wu?

"The folding was written by my family's oldest three!" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice rang out, seemingly with a hint of pride, "Since he wrote it, let's let him talk about it too!"

King Wu wrote it?

The ministers were immediately somewhat dumbfounded.

Although this folding many unrealistic place, but can write such a statement of the person, must be years of officials, recognize the official livelihood of the people.

However, I didn't expect that it was actually the King of Wu.

King of Wu?

Minister Zhan Hui brain turn, he turned out to be the crown prince in the world when the promotion up, always and the crown prince in-laws close.

Raising his head to sneak a look at the imperial case, his heart crossed.

"Your Majesty, I thought the zhangzuo has many feasible points!"
