"Let's stand."
Zhu Qiyu gritted his teeth and said: "Give us more land. I feel sorry for the people who immigrated. We will set up three guard posts, Baotou Guard, Wuyuan Guard, and Yunzhong Guard."
Fang Ying pointed to Yulin in the middle: "Your Majesty should reset the Yulin Guards."
"Doesn't that mean that the entire Hetao is full of military households?" Zhu Qiyu wanted to surround the Hetao with guard posts. There was no guard post in the center of the Hetao.
"Your Majesty, Hetao is a newly recovered land, and all the grass and trees are soldiers." Fang Ying did not care about the life and death of the people, and focused on stabilizing the territory.
In the eyes of the court, all the people are like rotten dogs, and they are nothing but tools for the court to achieve greatness.
That's what Fang Ying thought.
"Then set up four guards."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes moved downward: "The Yansui Guards moved north and were stationed in Qiantao (Baotou), and the Guyuan Guards moved to Houtao (Wuyuan)."
"Your Majesty is wise. These two guards have been favored by the Ming Dynasty and will not defect. They will be stationed in the front and back. They are completely trustworthy."
"Rebuild Yulin Guard and Yunzhong Guard. Yunzhong Guard will be sandwiched between Datong Town and Qiantao and will not cause trouble."
"The Yulin Guard is located in the middle of the Hetao. We can use soldiers from the Beijing camp as the core and recruit local aborigines to join the Yulin Guard. We will not dare to rebel in the middle of the Hetao."
"No matter if there is chaos in Yunzhong Guard or Yulin Guard, the other two guards, as well as the three towns of Yansui within the Great Wall, can be put out in time to prevent the war from starting."
Fang Ying's eyes were burning.
"Whether it is designed this way, I will tell Fan Guang, and Fan Guang will make fine adjustments based on the specific conditions of the Loop. I will not care about it and just communicate directly with the Ministry of War."
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "I established Xi Kong and moved to Zhengyi Road and Longshan Temple in order to use Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism to educate Hexi and transform Hu into Han."
"Fang Ying, do you think Helan Mountain needs to recruit a large army to protect Xikong?"
Confucianism is the soul of China and the cornerstone of its governance. It can be changed but not abolished.
The nourishment for the soul is Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, both of which are indispensable.
Therefore, Tianshi Dao committed a serious crime. He raised it high and put it down gently, just because he didn't want to damage the soul of China.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think we can set up two guard posts in Ningxia, one in Helan Mountain and one in Yinchuan."
Fang Ying considered it and said: "You can also ask Xikong, Zhengyi Road, and Longshan Temple to recruit a guard..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Qiyu interrupted with a wave of his hand: "It is easy to recruit but difficult to disband. How can we grant military power lightly?"
"I know my mistake!" Fang Ying knelt on the ground.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him, Fang Ying was testing him.
It means that Xun Chen wants to test him to what extent the emperor will delegate power.
"Go on." Zhu Qiyu didn't let Fang Ying stand up. Emperor Tianxin, is it something you can spy on?
"Wei Chen thinks that we can set up the Helan Mountain General Army in Helan Mountain to protect Buddhists, Taoists and Confucians." Fang Ying said cautiously.
"There is no need for the general soldier, let's just go to the guard post. Two guard posts in Yinchuan are enough."
The northwest is in ruins, and Yinchuan cannot support many soldiers.
When a soldier is full, some people will starve to death.
It cannot be set up randomly.
"Create a piece of farmland in Helan Mountain and distribute the land to the people. Give more..."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "The court will send out a batch of farm tools and distribute them to the military households. I will think of a way to get one cow for every hundred households and distribute them to the military households."
"They defend their home and country, but I, the emperor, can't do much for them."
"Just a batch of farm tools and some cattle. Each family must have one farm tool."
"The money comes from internal funds. I asked the Ordnance Bureau to build it and send it over."
"As for the cattle..."
There are a lot of farm cattle in the country. If they are given to the Hetao, they have to be transferred from the country. The people in the mainland will be hurt, so don't give them. Zhu Qiyu feels bad.
So Zhu Qiyu hesitated.
"Your Majesty, the herdsmen in Hetao have cattle and sheep."
"The court can send tamers to tame and cultivate cattle."
"And the land in the Hetao needs maintenance before it can be cultivated. There is no shortage of cattle for the time being."
"So Your Majesty does not need to give cattle for farming."
Fang Ying helped the emperor solve the problem.
The cattle raised by herdsmen can only be eaten and cannot be cultivated.
The so-called domestication is all nonsense, it is nothing more than finding a way for the emperor to step down.
He saw that the emperor was hesitant and just didn't want to give it, so he climbed down the pole.
"That's right, there is no shortage of cattle in Hetao. Even if they send cattle there, they can't afford to raise them with their financial resources, so they won't give them to them."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Then give more farm tools, a set of wooden plows for twenty households. The plows do not need maintenance, which saves money."
"Junhu, give me another iron pot."
Fang Ying clicked her tongue, the emperor was bleeding profusely this time.
Iron pots were an absolute best-seller in the Ming Dynasty's foreign trade. The tribes in Mobei couldn't get a piece of them, so all they got from Mobei was hard currency.
The iron pots bought by the Mobei tribes from the border trade market were all used to make weapons.
Moreover, the most valuable thing these days is ironware.
There was a shortage of iron in the Ming Dynasty, but the emperor agreed to sell so many iron farm tools and iron pots in one go, which was definitely a huge investment.
"Um……"
Seeing that the emperor still wanted to agree, Fang Ying quickly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, that's enough!"
“The people of Hetao have just settled down and don’t need many things!”
"You promised so much in one breath, which is a great gift from God!"
Zhu Qiyu stopped talking, Ming Dynasty was still too poor.
Even if I want to give more, I can't give it anymore.
"That's all, let's do this first. I will ask the Ordnance Bureau to find a way to raise enough farm tools." Zhu Qiyu was also worried that there was too little iron ore.
"Copy a few more copies of the "Xiangniu Jing" in Qi Min Yaoshu and take it to Hetao..."
Before Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, Fang Ying kowtowed desperately: "Your Majesty, you must not do this. The art of Qi Min is a treasure of our court and must not be passed on to others!"
Fang Ying was worried that one day Hetao would be captured and the Xiangniu Sutra would be learned by the grassland peoples.
However, after the Great Yuan Dynasty took over the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years, did the Xiangniu Jing really exist?
If they were willing to learn, they wouldn't be driven away!
"It doesn't matter, we can't lose the Loop." Zhu Qiyu decided directly.
"That's it for now, go back."
Zhu Qiyu stared at Fang Ying's back, his eyes flickering.
Before, there were many crises around him, so he couldn't wait to win over the courtiers, and even married his only princess to Fang Ying's second son, Fang Han.
All to win over Fang Ying.
This person is too greedy.
There is a clear distinction between ministers and civil servants. Is it something you can overcome?
You bite each other and break your heads so that I can rest in peace. Don’t you understand such a simple truth?
Previously, he had intended to break the civil and military barriers, so the courtiers were testing him to see if he was serious about breaking the civil and military barriers.
But I don’t know, what was his situation at that time? In the imperial court, the honorable ministers are in decline and the civil servants are powerful, so I am in harmony with others.
But you took it seriously.
Today is different from the past. I have great power, and I don’t need to win over anyone. Whoever wants to gain power must take the initiative to get close to me and bow down to me.
Civil and military forces can cooperate and transform, but they cannot marry.
It is a national policy to suppress military force with culture. How can it be changed?
"Passing the message, Fang Rui has an out-of-touch personality, but he has the qualifications to be a general. He will go to Hetao to gain some experience, and he will be of great use when he returns to the capital."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed and he looked at Feng Xiao: "How is the training of the palace daughter?"
"Back to your lord, Eunuch Xu said that the training has been completed." Feng Xiao said cautiously.
"What's the color like?"
"Nature is the best."
"Is it still Chu'er?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
Feng Xiao quickly answered "yes".
The emperor was worried that these palace maids and eunuchs would eat each other's food and send it out, which would disgust the officials and not please them on both sides.
"Well, it needs to be innocent. Don't send anything that has been eaten, so as not to make people feel sick. By the way, do you have a family background?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
Feng Xiao reported: "For those who were sent by Eunuch Xu, their parents are still alive and they have brothers and sisters who are all in the capital. For those who are not in the capital, Eunuch Xu has already sent someone to pick them up."
"Well, Xu Gan did a good job."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Everything is properly arranged in the capital. After all, you are going out from the palace, so you have to give face."
"Those who live in Beijing, send more money there and find a job for their brothers."
"Those whose families are not in Beijing will be given a house in Chaoyang and a job for their brothers."
"Those who want to farm, go to pick a piece of land outside Beijing and reward them; those who want to start a small business, let Dongchang give them a shop. In short, they must give them enough respect."
"When they get married, the palace should provide more dowry, which should be richer. It should match the husband's official rank, and they should not suffer a loss when they go to their husband's family."
"They are all my people, and they must have the face of the Tian family."
"It's human nature for others to do things for you only if you give them enough benefits."
"Keep their parents and brothers under lock and key. Those who are dishonest, sloppy, and disobedient will not be able to enjoy their wealth and status, and they will be punished."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sinister.
"My slave obeys the order!" Feng Xiao knew what he was saying.
"Pick a few with good colors and let Geng Yu choose them to be his successors. If they all like them, give them to them all together." Zhu Qiyu was very dissatisfied with Geng Jiuchou.
The line has been crossed.
But Geng Jiuchou is a smart man and will go to the palace to plead guilty soon.
really.
As soon as Fang Ying left, Geng Jiuchou came to apologize.
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to pay attention to him. After lunch, he began to deal with government affairs.
The day was getting hotter and hotter. After reading the memorial for a while, I was sweating profusely. Seven or eight wooden box air conditioners were placed in the room, which still couldn't relieve the heat.
His mood became more and more restless, whether it was because of the hot weather or because he was restless.
"Your Majesty, the weather has been sultry recently. I made mung bean soup to relieve your Majesty's heat." Tang Guifei came in.
"Why is my concubine here?" Zhu Qiyu asked someone to put mung bean soup on the table. He was not interested in this thing.
Tan Yunxian told him not to eat cold food, and not to eat anything cold in nature.
Concubine Tang Guifei took the cold food and cooked it hot, which took a lot of thought.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Feng Xiao.
Feng Xiao was worried that the emperor's anger would harm his health, so he asked Concubine Tang to persuade his majesty.
Seeing the emperor looking over, he quickly knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry with Feng Xiao. My concubine told him that your body is the number one priority in the world. You must not let anything go wrong."
Concubine Tang helped Feng Xiao cover up: "You can't always be angry. Sister Tan said that you have even recovered very well. If you are angry and your body is broken, you can't do it."
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "It's for my own good, I know, get up Feng Xiao."
Recently, his desire for control has become stronger and stronger, and his thoughts have become darker and darker, and he wants to change.
The emperor wants to be bright on the outside but dark in his heart, but if he brings them all out, his thoughts have already been guessed, why should he be an emperor? Go be a clown.
"Bring it here, I'll take a bite." Zhu Qiyu stretched his waist, walked around a few times, and sat down again.
Concubine Tang picked up the porcelain bowl and handed it over.
Feng Xiao dipped a spoon into it, put it in his mouth, and knelt aside.
After waiting for a long time, Zhu Qiyu took a sip: "It tastes good. Is it made by my beloved concubine?"
"It took me a few days to learn how to make it. The taste is not as good as the one made by the imperial chef. Your Majesty, please forgive me." Tang Guifei was very excited when she saw that the emperor had eaten what she wanted.
"What I eat is my beloved concubine's wish."
Zhu Qiyu took a few bites and put it on the table.
Using hot food made it even hotter.
Concubine Tang took the fan from the slave's hand and fanned the emperor: "I don't dare to use ice cubes, for fear of eating up your majesty's stomach."
"Well, it's been sweltering in Beijing for days, but it hasn't rained. I wonder if it will affect the harvest." Zhu Qiyu's thoughts were all about the world.
The most important thing the court cares about is the food harvest.
Food is the most important thing for people, and eating is the most important thing in the world.
"Go back to your Majesty, the Qintian Supervisor said it will rain soon." Feng Xiao stood up and whispered.
"Hmph, can you believe what Qin Tianjian said?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "The common people are looking forward to the spring rain every day, but it has not come this year. The Qintian Supervisor keeps saying it will rain tomorrow, it will rain tomorrow, and I want to chop off their heads!"
“There has been little rain this spring, and summer has just begun and it’s so hot!”
"Feng Xiao, send someone to the fields to see how the crops are growing? If they are not growing well, the court should find a solution as soon as possible!"
"Don't sit there and sit there all day long, just waiting for me to give you orders!"
"They are all waiting for me to tell them, what do you want them to do?"
Zhu Qiyu was furious.
Everyone in Qinzheng Palace knelt down to apologize.
"It has nothing to do with you, just get up."
Zhu Qiyu put away his angry expression and forced out a smile: "My dear concubine, I say these political affairs have affected your interest."
"How about I let the troupe enter the palace and make the harem lively and lively?"
"I have recently unlocked a few forbidden books, and Jiaofangsi has written a few playbooks. I have read them, and they are quite interesting."
"My beloved, do you want to see it?"
Zhu Qiyu kept his smile on his face and talked to Concubine Tang, but his heart went to the fields.
"Your Majesty, you should be busy with the court. I train the palace daughters every day and don't feel bored. When Your Majesty is finished, he will order the troupe to enter the palace."
Concubine Tang Guifei gently fanned him.
"Then just wait a little longer. When all the kings in the world come to the capital, you will be busy. After that, I will let the troupe come into the palace and sing for a few days."
Zhu Qiyu changed the subject: "I heard that you want to grant Fan Guang's daughter a marriage?"
"I'm here just to discuss things with you. I'm not in the palace, so I can't issue an imperial edict, so I have to ask for an imperial edict."
Concubine Tang did not mention the Queen Mother's decree, because the Queen Mother was just a decoration.
The emperor alone had the final say in the affairs of the former dynasty and the harem.
"Fan Guang's daughter has only been divorced for a few months. I heard that her husband has asked to return home several times and wants to reunite. What do you think?" Zhu Qiyu asked calmly.
"Back to Your Majesty, I thought there was no such shop after passing this village!"
Concubine Tang put down her fan and said sternly: "Your Majesty, when you lost power, that family looked down upon us, and even Fan Guang also stinked!"
"You killed someone and you were punished! They hate it in their hearts!"
"Now that you have great power and Fan Guang has been awarded the title of earl, do you want to turn back?"
"dream!"
"I am a woman who is petty and will not tolerate such a snobbish person!"
Looking at her expression, Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied: "Who did you choose for her?"
"My concubine chose Chen Rui, the prince of Pingjiang Bo, for her."
Concubine Tang carefully studied the emperor's expression: "Chen Rui lost his wife the year before last and did not renew their marriage, and Chen Yu is quite popular with you, so I thought that I would let Fan Guang and Chen Yu get married and work together for His Majesty."
Zhu Qiyu tapped his fingertips and asked calmly: "Only one candidate?"
"There is also Geng Yu from Geng Jiuchou's family. It is also a good thing for me to think about a civil and military marriage."
Did she already know about Fang Ying's treatment by me? Just changed your tune?
Still don’t know?
Did someone in the Qianqing Palace tip her off?
Zhu Qiyu was not sure either.
"Well, Geng Yu is not suitable. Fang Ying's niece also values Geng Yu, but Geng Yu is also a talent that I value. I have asked him to choose a few palace daughters to go home."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Uncle Pingjiang's family is suitable. Chen Yu is my humerus. Becoming an in-law with Fan Guang can help Fan Guang quickly integrate into the Xunchen camp."
However, does Fan Guang need the support of his old nobles?
"Your Majesty, I am also a messy mandarin duck. It's just that Fan Guang's wife cried in the palace, so I had no choice but to help her find a family." Tang Guifei picked herself up.
"My beloved, this is what you should do."
"The families of honorable ministers and civil servants all need your mediation."
"There are many things that I, a man, cannot say. It is most appropriate for you to come forward."
Zhu Qiyu pondered: "However, I want to reuse Chen Yu, and Fan Guang must also reuse him. If we become in-laws..."
He was worried that Fan Guang would blend in with the old ministers and would no longer be his pure minister.
I am also worried that the old ministers will attach themselves to Fan Guang and make Fan Guangwei unstoppable.
Also, tie Chen Yu to the Fan Guang sect to compete with the Yu Qian sect and Fang Ying sect?
"What do Chen Yu's family think?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"The Chen family naturally agrees. After all, Fan Guang is in the limelight now, and the title of Marquis is just around the corner. The Chen Yu family is eager to marry Fan Guang's legitimate daughter."
Concubine Tang looked at him carefully: "Is Your Majesty worried that your ministers will become friends and become party members?"
Seeing that she spoke happily, Zhu Qiyu nodded directly.
"Your Majesty, if there are three gangs of heroes, how can we do things without forming cliques?"
"The court forms cliques with each other, and why not in the army?"
Concubine Tang said: "Besides, aren't the old ministers also married to each other? You are one of us, and you are one of me?"
"I am just a woman, just talking nonsense."
Concubine Tang knew that she had said too much.
She was very smart and knew that she had to show herself to the emperor that she was useful, but she also had to be able to hide her clumsiness and not show her inadequacy in everything.
"You're not talking nonsense, I'm just overthinking."
Zhu Qiyu looked at her with a smile: "I didn't expect that my beloved concubine is actually a woman among women. Hahaha, when I don't care about politics, you will help me..."
Plop!
Tang Guifei was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of becoming Wu Zetian! Women in temples are not allowed to interfere in politics. I said it wrong, I said it wrong!"
Seeing her shivering, Zhu Qiyu smiled and pulled her up: "I just said casually, okay, I won't say anything anymore, my beloved, don't be afraid, I have no intention of doubting you."
However, Concubine Tang was trembling all over.
The entire outfit was soaked with sweat.
"The marriage of Fan Guang's legitimate daughter will be done as you said. She will marry Chen Rui and get married."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "You will continue to work hard in the future. If you have any good ideas, tell me. You and I are a young couple, how can we be so suspicious?"
He comforted Concubine Tang and asked her to go back to the palace and change her clothes.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were filled with cold light.
"Chen Yu is good at currying favor. He follows the path of a noble concubine and marries Fan Guang's divorced daughter. He is crazy about power."
The corner of Zhu Qiyu's lips curled up into a sneer: "How smart does the noble concubine think she is? She still manages the government and becomes Wu Zetian?"
"With all your thoughts, you won't be toyed with by these people when you get to the court!"
"Fan Guang's wife is crying? She is a woman with long hair and short knowledge. What kind of treacherous thoughts do she have?"
"She was probably persuaded by Chen Yu's wife, so she ran to the palace and asked the imperial concubine to make the decision."
"The imperial concubine is so proud that she thinks she has done something great for me."
"Sooner or later the day will come when the old ministers and the new ministers will be united."
"I just didn't expect that it would be Uncle Ping Jiang who would take the lead."
"Did Chen Yu consider himself my confidant just because he offered a persimmon tree?"
"snort!"
Zhu Qiyu cleared his throat: "Feng Xiao, let the cabinet draft an imperial edict to grant the marriage to Fan Guang's legitimate daughter, Fan family, and to the marriage of Heping Jiang Bo's legitimate son, Chen Rui."
"This slave obeys the order." Feng Xiaoru was pardoned.
It is really difficult to serve in Qinzheng Hall.
"Stop watching!"
Zhu Qiyu threw away the memorial, stood up, moved his body, except for his coat, practiced the iron rope for a while, worked up a sweat, and then went to take a shower.
He sat back on the chair and read the memorial for a while.
"Your Majesty, Lord Geng is still waiting outside the palace." Feng Xiao reminded carefully. He found that Geng Jiuchou's face was as golden as paper, and he was worried that he would faint from the sun.
"It's not a big deal, let's come in."
Soon, Geng Jiuchou came in and kowtowed weakly.
"Have a cup of tea."
"Wei Chen doesn't dare to drink it, and he doesn't deserve to drink it either!"
Geng Jiuchou kept kowtowing: "The humble minister did not listen to the holy teachings and intended to make friends with the distinguished ministers. Please forgive me!"
"My dear, please don't blame yourself. Fang Rui was the one who forced me to do this. I sent Fang Rui to the river to practice hard." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.
However, Geng Jiuchou was even more scared.
If a slap fails, Fang Rui is guilty, but Geng Jiuchou is innocent?
Fang Rui was punished, what about him?
"Geng Yu is someone I value. His wife has died, and I am also concerned about the re-engagement."
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "For the palace daughters, I have selected a few with good colors. They are all innocent, with an innocent family background and innocent people. Let them come to the palace to choose by themselves. If they like it, I will give them a hand in marriage." , take them all back home, and those who become wives or concubines, do as they please.”
Geng Jiuchou's pupils shrank.
The emperor wanted to place spies in the homes of all officials in the world. Although he had said it in the previous dynasty, he had never put it into practice, thinking that it would be over after he said it.
But he didn't expect that the emperor would be the first to take action on him.
Let Geng Jiuchou take the lead.
Does Geng Jiuchou dare to say no?
Fang Rui was sent to the Hetao. Could it be that his son Geng Yu also had to go to the Hetao to suffer?
Although the Hetao is a good place for rapid promotion, it is a borderland. It is not as important as being familiar with the emperor.
Look at the people serving the emperor, they are all high-ranking officials.
Geng Jiuchou really wanted to slap himself, he was so stupid!
How could the emperor allow his ministers to marry civil servants?
That's a recipe for disaster!
Even though he is not afraid of the emperor himself, what about his descendants? If the young emperor ascends the throne in the future, will there be careerists such as Yang Jian and Zhao Kuangyin?
The emperor is guarding against this move!
But he was so stubborn that he wanted to cling to Fang Ying, but ended up shooting himself in the foot.
"His Majesty personally trained him, so he is naturally one of the best!"
"Weichen agreed!"
Geng Jiuchou smiled contemptuously and said: "But I am very greedy. I want to marry my son home and serve my son. I beg your Majesty's permission!"
This is a shy person.
Geng Jiuchou knew that only by marrying a palace maid could His Majesty feel at ease. Even if he married a spy, he would also marry several spies, so he simply agreed directly to win the favor of the emperor.
"Hahaha, you are so greedy."
"These beautiful palace daughters are all carefully selected by me. All of them are outstanding in the palace."
"They are all very innocent. Even I was moved when I saw them."
"You, Geng Jiuchou, want four for your son in one go?"
"That's all, I've said it with my golden words, so I agreed."
Zhu Qiyu was very happy.
He wouldn't trust these palace daughters to serve in the palace, but he would feel relieved if they were trained as spies and placed on the pillows of officials.
It's not him who worries anyway.
As for who these palace daughters belonged to in the first place, does it matter?
Their families, future lives, and even the future of their children were all in the hands of the emperor. How dare they disobey?
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Geng Jiuchou said happily.
"Would you like to choose one too? Go back and serve you so that you don't have a caring person by your side." Zhu Qiyu looked at him.
Geng Jiuchou smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, how old is Wei Chen? If you marry a woman younger than Geng Yu, won't you be laughed at by your children and grandchildren in the future? Please spare Wei Chen."
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu laughed heartily: "I will give you a seat and serve you tea."
Geng Jiuchou came up.
After chatting for a few more words, Zhu Qiyu changed the subject: "It's time for Geng Yu to go out for some training. After the Jiangxi incident is over, I plan to rectify Jiangxi and send Geng Yu there. What do you think?"
Geng Jiuchou's expression turned bitter, he couldn't escape punishment after all!
"Wei Chen has no objection."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Don't look like that. I am also a parent and understand your painstaking efforts."
"But jade cannot be used until it is polished."
"Although Jiangxi is not a border town, it is also the thoroughfare of nine provinces and the heart of the south."
"You should know what I am thinking, and to realize my great cause, Jiangxi is the top priority."
"So, if Geng Yu is sent, he must be reused."
Geng Jiuchou knelt on the ground: "Weichen understands, it's just that the father and son have just met, and Weichen feels a little sad."
"But Your Majesty is right. A real man has ambitions in all directions. How can he be held back by his old father?"
"Your Majesty, how should we rectify Jiangxi?"
Speaking of business, Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea and asked him to sit down.
"The poverty of Jiangxi lies primarily with the kings."
"After Ning Fan is eliminated, I plan to dismantle the health center and let the people recuperate."
"Then people from Jiangxi will fill Huguang."
Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything clearly.
The first is the kings, the second is the civil servants!
Jiangxi is a beautiful land, and most people in the court are from Jiangxi. This directly leads to the most serious land annexation in Jiangxi.
The land lawsuit involving Chen Xun's wife is still a confusing case to this day.
Even the dignified chief ministers and assistants were sued by Jiangxi people, which shows that the Jiangxi Township Party is deeply rooted.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu wanted to immigrate and move Jiangxi people out, which would first destroy the strong rule of the Jiangxi Township Party.
Then we will organize the land annexation by civil servants.
Split their families and move them away!
But this cannot be said directly to Geng Jiuchou. Geng Jiuchou is a civil servant and naturally protects the interests of civil servants.
"Your Majesty wants to fill Huguang with the people of Jiangxi?" Geng Jiuchou was so keen that he realized it immediately.
"When I have my hands free, I will govern Huguang first, and then Jiangxi!"
Zhu Qiyu said with stern eyes: "This time, I will completely put an end to any man-made disasters in Huguang. If anyone dares to rebel in Huguang, I will kill them until they are afraid!"
"It just so happens that both Hetao and Liaodong are short of Dingkou."
"If I am pushed to the limit, I will simply move all those who can breathe in Huguang to Liaodong and freeze them to death!"
"Geng Jiuchou, tell me, why is Huguang experiencing constant seedling chaos every year?"
Zhu Qiyu looked at Geng Jiuchou.
Geng Jiuchou was drinking tea when he was so frightened that the tea soup spilled outside.
Just as he was about to kneel down, Zhu Qiyu asked him to sit down and speak.
"Wei Chen thinks there are three reasons."
Geng Jiuchou gritted his teeth. This was a good opportunity to prevent Geng Yu from going to Jiangxi: "First, it is the support behind the scenes of the Huguang vassal king. The more chaotic Huguang is, the more money they make."
"Secondly, the officials from Yunnan, Guizhou and Hunan persecuted the native people of Yunnan, Guizhou and Hunan too much, causing the people to lose their support."
"The third reason is that the military generals are unwilling to completely pacify Huguang."
Suddenly, Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrank: "Why don't you want to?"
Geng Jiuchou knew that if he said these words, he would be completely cut off from Xun Chen and the general.
However, the emperor did not want to see civil servants and nobles getting involved together.
What the emperor said back then was nothing more than a joke. If you take it seriously, you will lose.
But he was stubborn and took it seriously.
result……
"Wei Chen thinks that military generals want to achieve military success."
"But the world is peaceful. If you want to seize military exploits and obtain titles, you can only make fuss on the original battlefield, so the Miao chaos is often unjust."
Geng Jiuchou whispered: "Your Majesty, every time a rebellion is suppressed, a group of military heroes will be born, and over time, they will be awarded titles."
"But are they really worthy of being knighted?"
This is a bold statement!
It suits him too.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips raised: "You can see clearly. This has always been the case in all dynasties when raising bandits and respecting themselves."
"It turns out that your majesty is so clear-eyed that it's the humble minister who underestimated your majesty." Geng Jiuchou flattered him.
"Stop flattering me."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "It's different now. My eyes are outward."
"Opportunities to become officials and gain titles are everywhere, so there is no need to be self-respecting by raising bandits in Huguang."
"If you have the ability, go to Liaodong to raise the bandits and respect yourself! Go to the northwest to raise the bandits and respect yourself!"
"I will solve the feudal king's matter."
"As for the issue of exiled officials in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hunan, I will find a solution. When these exiled officials go to the local areas, they engage in crazy corruption, and finally make the world angry and resentful."
"I know everything."
"I will take care of it!"
"Tell me, after doing this, will Huguang be able to settle down?"
"With the wealth of Huguang, within ten years it will become the granary of the Ming Dynasty, providing enough money and food for my expedition!"
Zhu Qiyu was very excited.
"Your Majesty, compared with Jiangxi, Huguang is more important. We should clean up Huguang first and then deal with Jiangxi."
Geng Jiuchou said: "Because Jiangxi, no matter how it is governed, is not as prosperous as Huguang."
It's really hard for your son not to go to Jiangxi.
Zhu Qiyu looked at him deeply: "When Geng Yu goes to Jiangxi, and you go to Huguang, wouldn't you get the best of both worlds?"
Geng Jiuchou's face suddenly froze.
Is he going to be kicked out of the center too?
This is the emperor!
You can take on what He gives you, and you have to endure it even if you want it.
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness!" Geng Jiuchou did not dare to resist.
The result of resistance is to lose everything you have.
"An Xin, when you go to Huguang, you also go with the Minister of Household Affairs." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.
Those who dance too happily should be punished.
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Geng Jiuchou shed tears at the corners of his eyes. The official position he exchanged for his intestines and stomach will eventually be returned.
He takes himself too seriously.
Do you think that by becoming the emperor's loyal supporter, you will be able to swagger through the world?
As everyone knows, people who want to be the emperor's core are like the crucian carp crossing the river. Who do you think Geng Jiuchou is?
"Go down."
Zhu Qiyu sent him away.
Geng Jiuchou kowtowed respectfully, filled with pain.
Everything he had was given by the emperor, and the emperor could take it away at any time.
This is imperial power!
If the emperor asks you to kneel, you will have to kneel forever, and if the emperor asks you to stand, you can stand up.
When you think you are the most glorious, if you want to take everything away from you, you can take everything away from you.
This is the emperor!
"Back to the emperor, King Jingjiang has arrived in the capital." Feng Xiao did not dare to disturb the emperor, and only spoke when he saw the emperor taking a break.
"Zhu Zuojing?"
Zhu Qiyu narrowed his eyes.
The King of Jingjiang was a descendant of Zhu Wenzheng's lineage conferred by Emperor Taizu. Although Zhu Wenzheng was killed due to rebellion, Emperor Taizu recalled his nephew and sealed the lineage of King Jingjiang.
"yes."
"Did he come alone?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"I came to the capital with Princess Shen." Feng Xiao reported back and took out the Jin Yiwei's secret music from his sleeve pocket.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at it, threw it on the table, and said in a disdainful tone: "It's true that he knows the current affairs. After all, his bloodline is remote. If he doesn't know the current affairs, he will lose even the king."
Feng Xiao crouched and waited quietly.
"Didn't I give you a gift?" Zhu Qiyu glanced at him.
With a pop, Feng Xiao knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, King Jingjiang did give a gift to the slave, but the slave is not allowed to open the door, let alone accept the gift. Please give me a clear warning!"
"Don't be so afraid. I know that as soon as he arrived in Beijing, he gave gifts to various mansions. Even the Earl's Palace and the little sesame officials in the capital gave gifts. How could you, a famous person next to me, not give gifts? "
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Take it, I share my heart."
Feng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and looked troubled: "Your Majesty, I think this slave should not accept you."
"How do you say it?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"The King of Jingjiang gave gifts as soon as he arrived in the capital. What is his intention?"
"Do you want my slave to put in a good word for him? Or you have other ideas."
"This slave is not sure."
Feng Xiao said cautiously: "My slaves always do things after receiving gifts. Whatever you do and what gifts you will receive, you have to agree in advance."
"If you accept his gift and don't do anything in the future, your reputation as a servant will be ruined."
"Therefore, I dare not accept you, and I cannot accept you."
Zhu Qiyu looked at him and smiled: "You are magnanimous. It is right to be fair in doing things. You will do things for others after accepting gifts. Only when you have integrity can you do business."
"Your Majesty, every penny you receive from your servants will be recorded in the palace." Feng Xiao said calmly.
He didn't say that the money collected was sent to the internal fund.
Because he knows very well that the general is not short of hungry soldiers, and the emperor is not short of his money. Only when he lives a prosperous life can he do his work carefully. You can't make everyone become a saint, right? That will only force everyone to be secretly corrupt!
"It doesn't matter, just accept what you have to accept. There is no need to live a tight life. You are the person next to me. It's okay to live a more generous life."
"My slave obeys the order!" Feng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, which finally dispelled the emperor's suspicion.
Recently, the emperor's suspicion has become more and more serious.
I think it has something to do with the kings of the world coming to Beijing.
The emperor has a secret in his heart, which may have something to do with the box, but he doesn't dare to know.
Zhu Qiyu continued to read the memorial.
Go to bed late at night and go to bed early the next morning.
We first discussed setting up a garrison in the Hetao, half farmers and half soldiers, to defend the Hetao.
The ministers had no objection.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Liu Guangheng took a step forward: "Yesterday, King Jingjiang came to Beijing and actually gave gifts to his old ministers."
"I'm confused. What's the relationship between me and him? What's the purpose of giving gifts to me for no reason?"
"Is the King of Jingjiang too rich, or is there something profitable for the old minister?"
Liu Guangheng hated the kings deeply. He was from Jiangxi. Although he belonged to a big family, he had experienced hardships and knew the hardships of the people and the warmth and warmth of human beings.
He wrote a memorial in the Xuande Dynasty, saying that the world's poverty is directly related to the kings' squandering.
Although he was reprimanded by the late emperor, the late emperor took the opportunity to abolish the vassal king Zonglu.
"I also received it. I really didn't expect that the first gift I received was from King Jingjiang. I haven't accepted gifts for half my life."
Kou Shen wanted to laugh: "This King Jingjiang is really rich. I heard that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty received gifts. I wonder if the palace received them?"
"You two dear ladies are right. I really didn't receive it, but the eunuchs did."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Come, bring King Jingjiang."
"This Jingjiang bastard probably thinks that this Ming Dynasty is still the Ming Dynasty of the past, and that everything will go smoothly by using money to clear the way."
"Haha, he has a lot on his mind."
"Although his and my bloodline are remote, after all, they are kings conferred by Taizu, and the Yongle Dynasty came out of the capital to succeed the vassal."
"Can I still destroy him?"
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "I guess all the kings in the world think so, so they dare not come to Beijing to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival with me."
"My lords, do you think I can kill them?"
The originally relaxed atmosphere in Fengtian Hall suddenly solidified.
"Do you all think that I will kill all the kings in the world?"
"Why is Jianwen missing?"
"Don't you know that I still don't know? I am also a vassal king who succeeded to the throne. I still don't know what the vassal kings in the world think?"
"I will tell you the truth today."
"I have no intention of killing all the kings in the world! They are all my blood brothers, how can I kill them?"
However, none of the officials believed it.
You even want to kill your own brother, let alone those uncles and brothers?
Just as he was talking, King Jingjiang arrived.
Zhu Zuojing wore the vassal royal crown and performed the courtesy of the vassal king.
"King Jingjiang, you gave gifts to everyone in the capital, why didn't you give me a gift?" Zhu Qiyu opened his mouth and asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, what the little king presented to Your Majesty was a great gift, so I didn't present it to you, nor did I report it to the clan! Please forgive me for the crime of disrespect!"
Zhu Zuojing is handsome and well-spoken, and his words are well-founded, making it easy for people to like him.
"When you said that, I became curious. What kind of gift is this?" Zhu Qiyu asked lazily.
"Your Majesty, the young king has selected one hundred boys and one hundred girls from the boy tribes and please send them to the palace to serve Your Majesty!"
Zhu Zuojing thought that giving away a daughter would prick the emperor's sensitive nerves.
Hearing this, there was an uproar in Fengtian Hall.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Although these boys and girls are still young, they have all learned Chinese and are all handsome. Xiao Wang has been carefully preparing for several years to come to Beijing to present gifts!"
"How old are you?" Zhu Qiyu asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, they are all boys and girls of five or six years old. They are all good-looking and smart. They will definitely be favored by Your Majesty."
Many wealthy families will raise a few boys and girls of good color to be the godsons and goddaughters of their masters. In fact, they are just doing that.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes became more sinister: "Where did they all come from?"
"It is the children of Children who knows that Xiao Wang is going to offer gifts to His Majesty. , Pick out excellent, send it to the palace! "
Zhu Zujing was a bit contented.
Men are all good.
Moreover, he is all a alien. After all, people like freshness, which is more interesting.
"Can there be casualties?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"Back to Her Majesty, naturally there is, and it is useless to keep it. It is troubled by long distances and sent to the palace. I annoyed my Majesty.
The appearance of Zhu Zujing's manager.
That is to say, the Tong tribe was not sent by these two hundred people. These are the best selection and 200 people.
If you are not selected, you are either dead or for others!
No wonder Guangxi is in trouble every year!
Why are the Turks chaotic?
You treat others well, how can others rebel?
How much is a good policy given by the central people. How much is left to the natives?
This is not a bad place in Guangxi, but the entire southwest.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Wang made people send it into the palace!" Zhu Zuojing saw that the emperor had no objection, so he knew that he had sent the gift.
The emperor is rich in the world, what baby has never seen.
You have to give a rare thing.
All he picked all of them, all of which were treated with the best.
After entering the palace, wait for the king to not prematurely.
The throne of King Jingjiang is stable!
