When Zhu Youjian saw the emperor, he felt a little surprised. He was not in the hall, but under the shade of a tree, not in the official business, but in close proximity with the two little princesses.

"No gifts, just keep your body flat." The emperor looked up and said with a smile: "Give him a seat."

"I thank you for your kindness." Zhu Youjian respectfully gave the salute before sat down on the Xiudun.

The emperor touched the faces of the two little girls before he asked the maid to take her daughter away.

Although he could make casual gestures, some words were still difficult to say in front of his daughter.

The girls didn't go far and went to the pool not far away to play. There were koi raised by the emperor, which were in groups and looked very beautiful when swimming.

Listening to the crisp laughter, the emperor's face was filled with harmony, and he was in a relaxed and happy mood. He spoke to Zhu Youjian: "You are very good. I have set an example for the Zongfan's children, and I will not treat you badly."

Zhu Youjian hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Long live the award, I am afraid of taking it."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "No need to be humble, I'm telling the truth."

After pausing, the emperor said with emotion: "From Taizu to now, the vassal state has been hundreds of thousands, and the country will sooner or later be eaten up. You must know that this is not about raising hundreds of thousands of people who only seek food and clothing, but about the treatment of having a rich life."

Zhu Youjian pursed the corner of his lips and lowered his head slightly. I guess the emperor couldn't see it. Although he was telling the truth, he was not included here.

Of course, he advised his father to give up the name of a vassal king, which was also in line with the emperor's thoughts. As for what the emperor said without any bad treatment, he believed it very much.

The emperor lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, looked up at Zhu Youjian, and asked slowly, "What do you have to do? Let me tell you first. What I want to give you may not be the same as you think."

Of course, Zhu Youjian had his own ideas and had plans before coming. When he heard the emperor's inquiry, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I have been ordered to patrol outside to supervise and punish local illegal officials, but I have some experience."

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "It's okay to go to the Inspectorate. Well, I'll think about it again and discuss it with the ministers."

Replacing titles with officials is also a way to rectify the vassals. Unfortunately, there are not many vassals who are willing to learn government affairs and have the ability to serve as officials and the people or the country, and they are not as easy as getting something for nothing.

Moreover, being an official is risky. If you make a mistake and be dismissed, you will not be able to get a title or a position.

Of course, there are other living-making courses in Zongxue, but you may be able to be rich and prosperous by working hard on your own, but wouldn’t it be better to get a salary by doing nothing?

Therefore, there are also children of the clans who come to study, but they are basically of low-level grades, with a large family population and difficult to support.

Comfort and enjoyment are indeed immersed in it and it is difficult to extricate yourself. The emperor knows human nature more clearly, isn’t he the same? If he doesn’t become an emperor as a carpenter, he will get tired.

But the emperor considered himself a good leader and made great contributions to the resurgence of the Ming Empire, although many people secretly called him a "crazy monarch".

The emperor planned to reuse Zhu Youjian, after all, this was a rare benchmark for vassals. Moreover, he also admired Zhu Youjian's personality.

Originally, the emperor wanted to move the vassal kings to the new overseas expansion land, and Zhu Youjian was the first one. But according to Zhu Youjian's meaning and the process of overseas expansion, the emperor still delayed this plan.

The emperor believes that both definitions are OK for new overseas lands, or overseas territory. Although the meaning is not exactly the same, there is a possibility of transformation.

"You are also at the age of marriage, and Prince Tang is in poor health." The emperor did not immediately decide on Zhu Youjian's mission, but instead cared about his personal problems. "If there is a woman who feels suitable, I will make the decision for you."

The marriage of a vassal king, especially a wife, is not something that can be decided casually. Whether the Ministry of Rites can approve it is a hurdle. If a concubine is not a name, the court will naturally ignore it, but the meaning is completely different.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the emperor would ask about this matter. It was really difficult to answer, so he had to smile embarrassedly and lower his head slightly.

The emperor smiled slightly and continued, "I have relaxed many restrictions on the vassal states. I don't want to add more restrictions on marriage."

Of course, the emperor's idea was not only to give Zhu Youjian more freedom, but also to the vassal state. However, the previous system of talent selection was a waste of money and money, but the emperor wanted to abolish it.

Zhu Youjian was not clear about the emperor's thoughts and had no sense of free love. He thought for a while and bowed and replied, "Long live the report when the empress returns to obtain the consent of my father."

The prince of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Youjian's father, is indeed in poor health. He has been locked up by the cruel old Tang Dynasty for so many years. He is hungry and full, and is weak and sick.

Zhu Youjian felt that marrying a wife or even having children when his father was alive was also a comfort to his father.

The emperor talked to Zhu Youjian for a while, feeling that the poor experience in the foreign affairs office two years ago was indeed of great help to Zhu Youjian. In some aspects, Zhu Youjian is more mature than the king of faith, Zhu Youjian.

This is also caused by different life experiences. Zhu Youjian and his father have been a prisoner for so many years, and their minds have obviously been tempered and strong.

Moreover, personality determines success or failure, which is also very important. The emperor also saw the difference between Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian received the emperor's comfort and Jiali, and when he saw that he had no orders, he left.

The emperor completely relaxed, got up and walked to the rocking chair not far away. In the leisurely swaying, the cool breeze was blowing, and a crisp laugh was heard in his ears.

"Emperor." Li Chengcheng sat next to him, peeling grapes and feeding them into the emperor's mouth.

The emperor tasted the sweetness in his mouth, but his thoughts were still on the issues dealing with by the vassal states.

Not to mention the distance, there are three kings in the capital waiting to be vassals. King Xin, King Gui, and King Rui, the emperor is not going to release him.

It is really too much to spend. When the disaster is approaching, the imperial court's finances need to support it and save money.

"How much is the treasury?" The emperor asked his housekeeper casually, and opened his mouth to eat another grape.

Li Chengcheng reported it as if he didn't have to think about it.

The emperor pondered silently, and after a while, he shook his head gently, not knowing what he had planned to deny.

"Emperor." Wang Tiqian came over carefully to report: "Sun Yuanhua came to see him."

The emperor nodded, got up and walked back to the hall. He should be more formal about his subjects like Sun Yuanhua, which is also a kind of emphasis on Sun Yuanhua.

Although he was preparing to deal with the disasters at the peak of the Little Ice Age, the emperor still invested a lot in the Academy of Sciences. The scientific and technological progress of the Ming Empire is also a reflection of the strong national strength.

For example, the large-scale construction of plate rails is planned, surveyed and prepared to be implemented.

Although the development of steam engines made the emperor feel slow and the transportation capacity was enhanced, it was an effective means to deal with major disasters.
