The truth is only in the hands of a few people. An outstanding leader must have a firm mind, firm thought, and firm line, and cannot be controlled by others.

An emperor must have the courage to be no less than me.

If he leaves problems to future generations because he is afraid of mistakes, fears of trouble, and leaves trouble, then he is not a qualified emperor.

Zhu Yunxiu wants that position, and he must become a leader in establishing a new light and reshaping the glory of China.

Therefore, he looked at the eyes of the ministers in the hall without any timidity.

Your Highness, King of Wu! The first one is Liu Sanwu, the secretary of the Secretariat. The post station is built by the state to convey military and national affairs. If you are open to the people according to what Your Highness thinks, will you lose the foundation? At that time, the major events that affect military and national affairs will be transmitted in an urgent manner or will you lose them.

Official documents leaking the secrets of the court? Furthermore, the post station is for the purpose of passing officials and open to the people, which will inevitably disrupt the ranks and inferiors!

What Liu Sanwu said was a mature and polite statement.

All dynasties have attached great importance to post stations. The territory of the Central Plains dynasty is too large and the transportation is inconvenient. Post stations are the best way for the court to know the situation in various places.

Moreover, this era has a clear hierarchy, and food, clothing, housing and transportation are not just rich, so you can wear and use whatever you want.

Zhu Yunxiu pondered for a moment and said with a smile that the post station conveyed military and national affairs, and the people conveyed nothing more than letters and miscellaneous items. Just send them separately!

As he said that, Zhu Yunyu slowly walked among the ministers and tried to be more straightforward. Let me give an example, take our Yingtian Prefecture (Nanjing) as an example. There are businessmen living in the capital, with no less than 100,000 students, and

I don’t count those who work in Beijing and make a living, right?

Fu Youwen, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, nodded. This number is similar to that of the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the imperial throne was very comforted again, thinking that the little brat had done his homework in advance, even knowing how many residents in the capital were!

I am alone in a foreign land and miss my family more during festivals! Zhu Yunxiu said a few poems and continued to laugh, these people, every month and every year, communicate with their letters and miscellaneous items, are astronomical numbers, right?

Seeing that the ministers were nodding, Zhu Yunxiu continued, such a huge number of letters and goods were different from the urgent military newspapers from all over the court. There were so many things that could not be delivered with military horses!

Among the ministers, a supporting actor appeared in time. The Minister of Personnel Zhan Huidao, His Highness meant to separate?

Yes, separate! Zhu Yunxiu gave the other party a look that attracted my heart and said with a smile that in our Ming Dynasty, in addition to military horses, there are also a large number of mules and horses. These animals are prepared to bring luggage for the officials, but they are big.

Some of the time, I'm idle, right?

Instead of being idle and eating food and grass for free, it is better to move. As he said that, Zhu Yunxi smiled, and there were also postmen and helpers in the inn. They were idle and moved when they should move!

Taking Yingtian Mansion as an example, it is assumed that the first day of each month is the mailing day for people's letters and items! Zhu Yunxiu stood among the ministers and talked happily. Several postmen were a team, and the mule and horse carriage that escorted the letters and items to leave and handed over to the next one.

The station, and then the next station will be counted by list and continue to pass!

There are postmen here to avoid bad intentions. Postmen can also supervise each other to avoid stealing fish and beads. The letters and goods are delivered to the local area, and the postmen will post a notice to ask the people to come and claim, or the helpers in the postmen will be assisted.

Legacy delivered!

As he said that, Zhu Yunxi smiled again. How could the recipient of the letter be given for free? Why didn’t he give some rewards?

A letter from home is worth ten thousand yuan. In this era when there is no other way of communication, a letter from home is precious and valuable. Among them, it cannot be measured by money.

After he said this, the ministers in the palace all laughed.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the imperial throne couldn't help but smile.

This is the folk custom, and others can’t let others go back empty-handed. This is not corruption, nor is it blackmail, but Zhu Yuanzhang’s favorite customs.

After Zhu Yunxiu said this, the ministers almost understood.

Military and national affairs were still urgently transmitted by military and horses. The idle chariots and horses at the post station were used to deliver letters and goods to the people.

Many people nodded secretly. If this could be true, the correspondence and miscellaneous items from all over the country would be very convenient and fast.

As for what Mr. Liu said, the government and the people lived together to make the superiors and inferiors messed up! Zhu Yunxiu pondered, taking Beiping Post as an example, Beiping Post Station is located in Tongzhou, covering an area of ​​45 acres and can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. Leave it for the officials to live there

There are still many empty rooms, and because the postmen are separated, they cannot be considered as confusing the superiors and inferiors!

The only people who can live in the inn are caravans. The people can live in any safe place, not luxury, but shelter from the wind and rain! Zhu Yunxiu continued, Besides, the merchants are very stingy, that is, the owner and the shopkeeper live.

, the guys are still sleeping in the open and staying with the goods!

As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu paused. This was the second function of the inn, providing accommodation, food and goods for past business travelers! Then, Zhu Yunxiu smiled again. This was not the same price as delivering letters and miscellaneous items!

Officials are all good at humans, and what Zhu Yunyu said is easy to understand, so they are not difficult to understand. Moreover, when it comes to money, many people's eyes lit up.

Fu Youwen, the Minister of Revenue, asked, "It is not impossible for Your Highness to say these things. As the saying goes, "The foot of the car, ship, shop, and the teeth should be killed if you are innocent. If you can really provide convenience to business travelers, it is also the court's kindness. However, Your Highness said it is open source, and I am the minister."

How to open it?

You're so tired! You might as well just say how to collect the money!

Zhu Yunxiu complained in his heart and said with a smile on his face, this is not simple! As he said that, he walked to the edge of Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial case, Grandpa and grandson dared to write a few words!

Zhu Yuanzhang was so obsessed with his heart, and when he heard this question, he smiled and said, "What are you writing?"

Zhu Yunxiu took out the pre-prepared cardboard case size from his sleeve and smiled, please write a letter of postage!

OK! Zhu Yuanzhang responded and lifted up the cinnabar pen.

Judging from Zhu Yunxi's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang's handwriting is not good-looking. However, it is vigorous and powerful in every stroke and stroke, and the force is deep.

Please continue writing again, keep your words! Zhu Yunxiu said with a smile again.

Then, according to what Zhu Yunzhang said, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote down words on several small cards. He put down his pen and looked at Zhu Yunzhe with a smile.

Please see everyone! Zhu Yunyu held the card with the mail words written on it and said with a smile that the words "The Emperor's Imperial Pen" are written by Grandpa, which can be posted on the letter for mailing! As he said that, he looked back at Zhu Yuanzhang, Grandpa Huang, since it is

What you wrote in your imperial pen is better called a stamp!

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and then laughed happily, OK, listen to you, stamps!

Congratulations to Your Majesty! The Minister of Personnel Zhan Hui came out on the spot and said loudly that if this thing can be published in the world, it will definitely be a legend throughout the ages. I congratulate you for Your Majesty, for King Wu, and for the Ming Dynasty!

Congratulations to Your Majesty! All the ministers quickly followed and flattered them.

What Zhu Yuanzhang is most disgusted with on weekdays is flattery, but now he smiles so hard that he can't see his teeth.

The emperor wanted to leave a name in history. The function of this stamp is about to come out, and it is posted on the envelope as a certificate for the government to mail letters.

If it can be published, no matter how changing the world is, as long as people still write letters, they will definitely remember him Zhu Yuanzhang.

Remember him, the former cowherd! Remember the Ming Dynasty he founded!

The flattery retreated, and Liu Sanwu spoke again, Your Highness, King of Wu, does this stamp cost money?

This is the postage for us to mail letters to the people! Zhu Yunxiu held the world's first Ming stamp among the ministers and said, "The court sold it to the people in need." The people pasted the stamps on the letter and stamped the post station, and then they could mail it."

!

Liu Sanwu pondered for a moment, how much does it cost?

Not expensive, two literary works, Hongwu Tongbao! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, don’t underestimate these two financial funds. My letter exchanges in the Ming Dynasty have more than tens of thousands of letters a day, and it’s accumulating a lot!

Hiss! Several ministers in charge of finance immediately took a breath.

They are in charge of the world's taxes, and you can tell how much it costs with a slight calculation.

A stamp is two pieces, ten thousand is 20,000, and ten thousand is 200,000. Two hundred thousand coins are exchanged for silver, which is more than 20,000 taels. How much does a county pay a year? Last year, a large population of people came to the Ming Dynasty.

In the county, the taxes and silver will be paid only 30,000 yuan, and the land of a state will be only 150,000 yuan.

But Grandpa Emperor can’t buy a pen like this for two cents! It’s worth twenty taels! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, “Grandpa Emperor, there are rich people in the world, and they want to buy your pen to pay back!

Good boy, we have done business! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

Mr. Liu is the best scholar in the world. If you use your handwritten as a model stamp, you will have to sell it. Five taels! Zhu Yunxiu smiled at Liu Sanwu and said, "literati and scholars all have this hobby. Who doesn't want a student in the world? The Hanlin Bachelor's

calligraphy!

Liu Sanwu, the clan of the Secretariat, immediately smiled a little complacently, and at the same time, he also had some expectations in his eyes.

If he really uses his handwritten books as a model, then Liu Sanwu will be a celebrity forever.

In addition to stamps, there are also stamps, and the price of goods delivered is calculated based on the weight!

There are also accommodation tickets, meal tickets, and storage tickets for storing goods!

The imperial court unified invoices, whether it was the people or the business traveler, it could be used at the inn with the ticket!
Chapter completed!
