After receiving the imperial edict from Chen You and Kou Shen, they traveled through mountains and rivers and arrived in Suzhou.
Suzhou lights up lanterns and colors to celebrate the New Year.
After retaking Hami and seizing a lot of money, Kou Shen ordered the Gansu soldiers to eat meat-filled dumplings for three days during the Chinese New Year.
This is the first of its kind. Being able to eat enough porridge, rice and noodles every Chinese New Year is considered a blessing from God.
Eat meat this year, and meat dumplings will fill you up!
Chen You was stationed in Suzhou. On New Year's Eve, he was still discussing the war situation in the military tent, worried that Mansu'er would invade Suzhou on New Year's Eve.
This possibility is very high. According to the news, Mansuer is in Hami, looking for traces of the Ming army.
After all, he suffered such a big loss at the hands of the Ming army.
This time, they also imitated the Ming army and came to harass Suzhou and killed all the people of the Ming Dynasty. Let’s see what Chen You said to their emperor!
Just when they were about to patrol the city gates, the imperial edict from the central government came.
The emperor named him Uncle Shazhou.
A mere earl could not satisfy Chen You's appetite. Chen You wanted to devour Turpan, invaded Yili, annexed the entire Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and became the Duke of the country!
However, there are four words imprinted on the earl's iron certificate: Hami's merits, special seal.
This small detail moved Chen You very much, and he bowed and kowtowed to the Forbidden City.
Along with the imperial decree, there is a barbecue from the palace.
After Chen You finished eating, he felt that the barbecue flavor was suitable for the local area. The local area combines farming and animal husbandry and is rich in meat. If a barbecue restaurant is opened here, it will definitely become popular in the northwest.
Unfortunately, he asked the eunuch for the secret ingredient, and the eunuch said that there are two ingredients that produce the spicy taste, one is chili powder and the other is pepper.
Yes, pretend I didn’t ask.
Chili peppers are being cultivated and have not yet been promoted nationwide.
Pepper, that thing is more expensive than gold, and only the rich and powerful can afford it. How can ordinary people afford it? Cumin and sesame are relatively cheap, but they are not affordable for ordinary people.
The eunuchs who came out of the palace to spread the New Year's Eve banquet were all very lucky. The generals and governors stationed abroad had no family members and could not eat alone. The eunuchs would definitely be able to eat and be rewarded.
Guangxi, Zhuque Pass.
Fang Ying was responsible for the immigration and coordinated the northern part of Annan.
Taocheng has collected all the cities in northern Annan, and the area needs to be re-divided.
To the east of the Lujiang River, it enters Guangxi.
To the west of the Lujiang River, it is divided into Yunnan, with Hanoi as a parallel line, and to the north of Hanoi, it is divided by Guangxi and Yunnan.
To the south of Hanoi, Cochin Province should be established.
Guangxi does not celebrate the Spring Festival. The natives celebrate their own festivals. This year, Fang Ying celebrated New Year's Eve with the entire army.
The imperial edict comes from the center.
The Jin Dynasty granted Fang Ying the title of Nanhe Marquis, Tao became Tangzhou Bo, granted Xue Xuan the crown prince Shaobao, Xia Xunzheng the fourth rank of Zanzhi Yin, Bian Yongcong the fifth rank of Fengxun doctor, Pan Benyuzheng of the sixth rank Chengzhilang, and Yang Yu , Bai Quan, Liao Zhuang, etc. were all promoted.
Fang Ying is organizing the entire army to celebrate the New Year together.
He personally wrote Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu", and the whole army cooked dumplings to celebrate New Year's Eve.
Guangxi Bing has never celebrated the Spring Festival before. It is the first time to celebrate the Spring Festival, so naturally it will be lively and full of New Year flavor.
When the imperial edict came, it was already dark and the dumplings were being cooked.
She was promoted to Marquis, Fang Ying's eyes were filled with mist.
And Tao Cheng was also knighted. Tangzhou was the Annan land controlled by Fang Ying. Tao Cheng used Tangzhou as the base to sweep away the northern part of Annan, and he was knighted for his military achievements. It was justifiable.
The eunuch took out four large food boxes, divided into four large food boxes: meat, vegetarian dishes, cold dishes, and wine. Because the weather in Guangxi is hot, ice was used throughout the process to maintain freshness (ice made from saltpeter).
The eunuch lit the stove and started cooking. The people gathered in the camp were all generals of the Guangxi army, all with their eyes wide open.
Fang Ying thanked her first and then ate a bunch.
The rest is given to subordinates.
The generals were all confused by the aroma. Everyone had eaten barbecue, but I had never tasted barbecue that didn’t smell bad or smelly.
Especially the spiciness is so appetizing to Guangxi people!
Seeing that the strings of meat skewers were all eaten up, the eunuch didn't catch a bite. Although Fang Ying left a bunch, the eunuch was the most vindictive. After returning, he gave Fang Ying eye drops.
And in Xinnan Zhili.
The imperial edict of conferring awards came and granted Hu Zheng the first rank of Youzhu Kingdom, Zhang Feng and Wang Hong, Crown Prince Shaofu, Yang Xin was granted the title of Jianchang Bo, Ou Xin was Ping Lebo, and the gift of appointment was given to Jin Zhong and Wang Cheng. All are rewarded.
All kinds of rewards are rare things in the capital. The emperor waved his hand and spent generously.
Eunuchs loved money, so the emperor gave Jin Zhong and Wang Cheng two canneries, both in southern Zhili, with daily profits.
At the same time, a New Year's Eve banquet was given.
The most exciting ones were Yang Xin and Ou Xin. Yang Xin wiped out the Jiangxi bandits. His military exploits were not low at all, but he was knighted later than Li Zhen.
Ou Xin single-handedly defeated Guangxi and suppressed the gentry in southern Zhili. He made great military achievements and was inevitably awarded a title.
In the ninth year of Jingtai's reign, the central government conferred many titles.
But there is no world certificate, and the world certificate must be obtained entirely through military exploits.
This is because the emperor is worried that by granting too many titles, future kings will not be able to check and balance them, leaving a trail behind, and the world certificate should not be given lightly.
From this, there will be two divisions: Liujue and Spyker.
The noble title lasts for one life, and the noble title is the most precious.
The emperor used various methods to check and balance people's hearts.
In Hu Hui's new residence, Zhang Feng and Wang Hong were both a little anxious.
Hu Hui has been in Nanzhili for more than a month, but he has not killed anyone or done anything. On the contrary, Nanzhili is quiet.
"You two, did you come to the old man's house again to eat and drink on New Year's Eve?" Hu Hu said with a smile.
"Old Master, you should be honest with us." Zhang Feng was anxious. When the imperial edict came, he was worried that it was the emperor's edict that disparaged him.
Hu Hui was making tea and asked the attendants to step aside.
Youyou said: "Both of you are extremely smart people, why are you confused now?"
Zhang Feng was stunned. Hearing this, Hu Hui didn't plan to liquidate the gentry? How can the emperor explain it?
"Zi Yi, being an official is one thing. Being an official in the central government is another way. Being an official in the capital is another way. Being an official is another way in the local area."
Hu Xi poured tea for them: "In Nanjing, it is another way."
These words confused Zhang Fengrao.
He understands the three methods.
But what does the fourth one mean?
"Who do we belong to?" Hu Hui raised his head and glanced at Zhang Feng.
"His Majesty's people." Zhang Feng blurted out.
Hu Hui smiled and said nothing.
"We are members of the gentry." Wang Hong said.
Cong Renli was scolded back to Fengyang by an imperial edict from the emperor, and the struggle for power between the two forces came to an abrupt end.
Now the relationship between Zhang Feng and Wang Hong has been restored.
"Ziyi, you don't have Gongdu to see things through."
Hu Hui had eaten a lot of meat and couldn't get rid of it, so he said slowly: "I'm asking you, in the center, what attitude should you have towards the gentry?"
"I want to kill him with words and writings!" Wang Hong replied.
Hu Xi smiled and nodded: "What should you do in the capital?"
"Kill, kill them all!"
Yes, this is the way to be an official in the capital.
"Where is it?" Hu Xi asked again.
Wang Hong considered it and said: "Kill with one hand and caress with the other. Although we are officials and serve the court, we are from the gentry after all."
"Children can be taught!"
Hu Xi smiled.
Zhang Feng also thought about it and understood, yes, why did he really want to break up with the gentry when he was not under the emperor's nose?
"But old master, being an official here in Nanjing, what's the difference between being an official in Nanjing and those three places?" Zhang Feng asked.
Hu Xi smiled and said: "This is also the capital and a place. What do you think we should do?"
Kill with one hand, caress with the other, and you have to show it to the emperor!
Zhang Feng stood up and bowed respectfully: "Thanks to the old master for your guidance, otherwise I would be spinning like a top."
Wang Hong asked, "Old Master, you didn't kill anyone when you came to Nanjing."
"Hahaha!"
Hu Xi stroked his beard and laughed: "Did I really not kill you?"
Ou Xin, Yang Xin, and Li Zhen are fighting. Isn't this just killing?
With a stroke of a pen, who was killed? Can the center find out?
"Ziyi, Gongdu."
Hu Hui suddenly became solemn: "We are serving His Majesty, so naturally we have to consider His Majesty. There are some things we can do or not do."
The implication is that the emperor's upper lip touches his lower lip and he doesn't understand anything.
We just deal with him.
When you get to the place, do what you want and just go back and fool him.
This is protecting His Majesty.
Worry flashed in Wang Hong's eyes. Is the emperor so easy to fool?
"Gongdu, do you think His Majesty wants to kill? Or does he not want to kill?" Hu Hu smiled and drank tea.
The central government has never issued an order to urge it.
Maybe, Your Majesty doesn’t want to kill?
But is it in the emperor's interest not to kill?
Wang Hong couldn't tell whether Hu Hui was fooling the emperor or whether the emperor did it on purpose. Anyway, Hu Hui, an old fox, hid so deeply that the emperor was deceived by him.
What the emperor thought was a loyal minister was just what he thought he was.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, in the Wuying Hall.
Wuying Hall is almost idle. It used to be the place where Emperor Taizong met with ministers.
Zhu Qiyu sat on the throne.
"My lords, the ninth year of Jingtai has passed away soon. It goes by so fast."
Zhu Qiyu had a smile on his face: "This year, the country has done a lot of things! Everything can shine in the annals of history and shock the past and the present!"
"Let's talk about opening up territory first."
"Wang Yue, Jiang Wan, Mao Zhong, Li Kan, Yang Shouchen and others have made great achievements in regaining North Korea. Although they have not yet succeeded, North Korea has become the meat of the Ming Dynasty and cannot escape."
"North Korea established a province, and our Ming Dynasty gained an additional province."
"In the south, Fang Ying, Tao Cheng, and Xia Xun recovered the northern part of Jiaozhi. I have ordered them to be included in Guangxi and Yunnan."
"I believe that in ten years in Jingtai, Fang Ying will be able to capture Annan and regain Jiaozhi!"
"In the west, Chen You and Kou Shen annexed Hami and marched to Turpan, catching the eastern Chagatai Khanate off guard. To the east, Chagatai showed the Ming Dynasty's martial arts!"
"Hami was merged into Gansu, and Gansu's territory was completely formed!"
"To the north, Helin has become the happy land of the Ming Dynasty. All herdsmen surrender to the Ming Dynasty!"
"This is my credit, and it is also your credit!"
The important officials of the capital gathered in Wuying Hall.
With the lessons learned from last year, everyone knows that today is the day when the emperor awards ministers.
In just this month, how many imperial edicts of rewards have been issued? How many titles have been awarded? How many literary and military honors, how many gold and silver treasures have been given?
This is the New Year's gift given by the emperor to all meritorious ministers, and it is the best reward.
"It's all thanks to your majesty's great blessing!" The courtiers kowtowed.
"Flat body."
"Let's talk about the merits of governance!"
"Zhu Ying and Xiang Zhong are from Shandong. They will wipe out the bandits in Shandong, properly resettle the refugees, and achieve great governance in Shandong!"
"Jin Zhong, Ma Jin, Yang Xin, and Zhu Yi are in Jiangxi. They have wiped out the rebels and bandits, immigrated, divided the property, redistributed the land, and properly resettled Jiangxi!"
"Li Xian and Shang Ren are in Liaoning, resettling the refugees, governing the place, and bringing great rule to Liaoning!"
"Fang Ying, Xue Xuan, Xue Yuan, Hou Chen, and Zhu Yong were in Guangdong and Guangxi. Hundreds of thousands of Han people immigrated from Guangxi and Guangdong provinces, and they were governed by Guangdong and Guangdong."
"Kou Shen is in Gansu, Yuan Jie is in Ningxia, Yu Shan and Yu Gang are in Shanxi, they all have great success!"
“This year has been really fruitful.”
"Li Bing, Wang Shu, and Lu Yuan managed Rehe. After one and a half years of construction, Rehe has begun to take shape. According to the memorials of Li Bing and Lu Yuan, it is expected that the entire province of Rehe will be completed in the 11th year of Jingtai. Thirty thousand cavalry have been newly organized and trained, and the number of Jehol cavalry exceeds 50,000."
"Yuan Jie is in Ningxia. It took two years for the entire Hetao military defense to be completed. The city is expected to be completed in Jingtai ten years, and 50,000 cavalry have been formed. Up to 25,000 people can go to the battlefield."
"I am very satisfied with the governors everywhere."
"This year's large-scale immigration and resettlement of refugees has exceeded tens of millions of people, but no major troubles have occurred anywhere. This is a great achievement!"
"Therefore, I should give you titles, give world coupons, give civil and military honors, and give treasures."
"I see all your contributions!"
"Local officials have made great contributions, and so have central officials."
"You are all my right-hand man!"
"I can't live without you for a moment."
Everyone couldn't stand being praised so much by the emperor.
However, the ninth year of Jingtai was really the year with the biggest changes since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
"How many taxes have been confiscated by the court this year? It is also the easiest year for the people. Although I am not among the people, I can feel the joy of the people. I feel honored."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Next year, I will decide to further improve the tax exemption..."
However, the words were not finished.
Geng Jiuchou knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please allow me to interrupt you."
"What's the matter, Geng Qing?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.
Geng Jiuchou knew that speaking at this time would spoil the emperor's interest.
But it has to be said.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has just a few words to say. Please, Your Majesty, spare Wei Chen the death penalty!"
Zhu Qiyu frowned slightly and asked him to speak.
"Everyone in the world knows that His Majesty loves the people."
"But, in the Hongwu Dynasty, weren't there times when money and food were abundant? In the Yongle and Xuande Dynasties, weren't there times when granaries were piled up like mountains?"
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, why is there no tax exemption in the court?"
Zhu Qiyu was slightly startled: "If Geng Qing has something to say, you might as well speak up."
The mood was disturbed, and no one would be happy.
"Your Majesty, it's easy if you don't accept it, but it's difficult if you want to accept it again!"
These words speak volumes to people’s hearts!
You collect taxes every year, and the people scold you every year, but you pay them every year.
But if we don’t collect it this year, and if we collect it again next year, the people will not scold them, but directly rebel!
People cannot be kind and dogs cannot be fed.
This is the human heart!
The emperor took it for granted that he would cut taxes and waive exemptions everywhere, thinking that this was an act of caring for the people. But now that the government and the government have ample finances, what happens when the finances become tight?
If we collect taxes again, it will force the people to rebel!
The Ming Dynasty relied on this tax collection system to survive for more than two hundred years.
But the emperor took Emperor Taizu's most proud work and continued the roots of Guo Zuo and dug it himself.
Only Geng Jiuchou dared to say this.
Everyone is well aware that the problem is that the emperor is quick to talk and cuts taxes at every turn. In order to convert the land into a Han Dynasty, there was no problem with tax exemptions, and there was no problem with tax exemptions when there was a disaster.
However, the emperor is now constantly imposing tax exemptions. If the exemptions continue, after ten years, he will not be able to collect even a grain of rice.
"Your Majesty, what Geng Shangshu said is true. Please be careful, Your Majesty." Yao Kui knelt on the ground.
Peng Shi and Yue Zheng also knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please take back your order!"
"We know that your majesty loves the people, but for the sake of the country, please take back your order!" Wang Fu knelt on the ground.
One after another, the courtiers all knelt on the ground.
Even Yu Qian and Sun Yuanzhen knelt on the ground.
Those who didn’t know better thought the emperor had done something ridiculous.
As everyone knows, the emperor wants tax exemption, but the courtiers don’t agree. Shouldn’t you shout long live? The style of painting is wrong.
"Gentlemen, if I say that I won't take any more after the reduction, would you believe it?" Zhu Qiyu whispered.
Doesn’t he know that if he doesn’t collect it this year, he won’t be able to collect it next year?
However, he insisted on doing this.
It is not to win people's hearts, but to use agriculture to push back the development of industrialization.
Can you think of a way to force Ming Dynasty into a desperate situation? Why was the Southern Song Dynasty so rich, and why was Liu Han so rich? Isn’t it just that we have no choice but to develop business?
This is a dangerous military expedition, but Zhu Qiyu is confident that as long as the Japanese country is captured, the money will be inexhaustible.
Let’s talk about agricultural taxes.
Look at modern society, do we still collect agricultural taxes? Not only do they not harvest, they also provide subsidies to farmers, and they are very afraid that people will not cultivate the land.
Commodity society and agricultural society are themselves a pair of contradictions.
In ancient feudal society, they had been suppressing business because they were worried about not having enough food to eat.
Why doesn’t modern society suppress people?
Because of mechanization, so many people can no longer be used on the land. People have to be sent to industrial assembly lines, but they also have to eat, so subsidies are provided to encourage people to farm.
Zhu Qiyu is vigorously developing business. The money earned by doing business is definitely more than the ordinary people can earn by digging the land, so the ordinary people are more willing to go into business and do small businesses.
The emperor exempted taxes and tied the people to the ground.
If we want to make a smooth transition from a small-scale peasant economy to a commodity economy, there is an inevitable process, which is primitive accumulation.
Primitive accumulation, except in China, relies entirely on bloody robbery.
He also wanted to reverse the process of industrialization through agriculture.
Of course, the important thing is that he has the confidence.
He knows how many silver mountains there are overseas, and Ming Dynasty has the ability to mine these silver mountains. He has enough money to be confident, so why not force the rapid arrival of the commodity economy?
Only when the commodity economy comes will the industrial revolution be promoted.
Another point is that he can rely on a large number of slaves to farm land for the Ming Dynasty. This is the British route.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Geng Jiuchou was dumbfounded.
"Everyone, get up and listen to me slowly."
Zhu Qiyu stepped down from the throne: "I have been reading the history of the Yuan Dynasty recently. The Yuan Dynasty relied on business, which was enough to support the finances."
Seeing Geng Jiuchou's retort, Zhu Qiyu lowered his hand slightly: "I do want to imitate him, but it is very clear that the Ming Dynasty is not the Yuan Dynasty and cannot be imitated."
"Ye Sheng submitted a memorial two years ago. The memorial said that in Bo Ni Country, there is a silver mountain and the land is full of silver."
"I'm thinking about one thing. If I move Yinshan back to Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty will not be short of money. Why should I collect agricultural taxes?"
"Geng Jiuchou, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Please do some calculations for me. The Ming Dynasty's fiscal silver is about 10 million taels. I will send people to Yinshan to bring back 10 million taels. Tell me, which one is easier?"
Geng Jiuchou felt something was wrong here, but he couldn't explain it.
Yao Kui said: "Your Majesty, only money without things will only make money worthless."
Zhu Qiyu found out that Yao Kui was not easy to fool.
I also understand the relationship between labor and value.
"Yao Qing, the central government only collects taxes, but the people are working hard, and what they produce are things. I can use this money to buy the things they produce."
"This, this is a fallacy." Yao Kui couldn't pronounce it.
"Yao Kui, let me ask you again. The Ming Dynasty has a population of 60 million, and these 60 million people are used to support the Ming Dynasty."
"I will go out and capture 10 million slaves and make them work for me day and night."
"If you don't need 10 million, just find 5 million slaves."
"Use them desperately, Yao Kui, do the math for me, do they produce more for me, or do the 60 million people produce more for me?"
Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.
Yao Kui spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we are a kingdom in heaven, how can we always bully the people in the lower country!"
"You also said that they are wild people from the lower country. Is it natural for them to work for me?"
"The whole world is not the king's land, and the ministers in the whole world are not the king's ministers. These 60 million people are my subjects, but those five million are not my subjects."
"Yao Kui, tell me! Am I right?"
Zhu Qiyu is crooked again!
Key court officials were rendered speechless.
From a legal point of view, all people in the world, no matter which country they are from, as long as they are breathing, are Zhu Qiyu's people. He can use it however he wants, and there is nothing wrong with it.
The people just pay taxes, and the slaves work hard for nothing. Of course the slaves make money.
Yao Kui made it clear that he could not defeat the emperor: "Your Majesty, I would like to invite Qiu Jun to the palace!"
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Xing Guogong, please tell me, am I right?"
Yu Qian held his hands and said nothing.
"So, Geng Qing, don't focus on the agricultural tax. I don't care about that small amount of money."
Zhu Qiyu said: "I would like to go back to Yiyin Mountain and make tens of billions of silver coins. It will take hundreds of years to spend them all."
"Your Majesty, even if you have money, where will you get food?" Geng Jiuchou asked another stupid question.
Zhu Qiyu laughed loudly: "I will spend money to buy it! Will the people not sell it to me?"
The courtiers don't understand economics, and they don't speak on the same frequency as the emperor.
"Please also ask Your Majesty not to directly relax the tax exemption policy, but to do it bit by bit and step by step. It is best to completely exempt the tax within fifty years."
Geng Jiuchou could only delay and go back to school, and he had to defeat the emperor.
Let the emperor not allow tax exemption.
A very interesting scene happened in Daming.
In the past, officials talked about the people's sufferings, but now they beg the emperor not to be exempted from tax. If the exemption continues, the Ming Dynasty will be gone.
"According to Geng Qing."
Zhu Qiyu didn't hold his tongue either. Anyway, he made tax exemptions on a whim, which made the courtiers stare.
"Just now, the gentlemen didn't let me finish what I said."
"Agricultural taxes are exempted, but commercial taxes will increase."
"After the new year, we will make a list and transfer the money that should be paid from agricultural taxes to commercial taxes. The tax exemptions that were previously exempted will be calculated based on the number of years. When the number of years is up, we will collect them immediately."
When the courtier heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If the emperor stopped collecting taxes at all, he would be out of his mind.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
When did officials beg the emperor to collect taxes?
Baiguan actually felt a little ashamed.
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Come here, bring it up!"
The eunuch came in with a tray covered with red cloth.
"I was interrupted just now."
Zhu Qiyu stepped down from the throne and unveiled the red cloth with his own hands, revealing three giant scrolls.
"Open it!"
One eunuch stood the scroll upright, and the other eunuch slowly opened it. A map with a strange layout was displayed in front of the officials.
This is a colorful map of the Ming Dynasty!
It is embroidered stitch by stitch using the modern graffiti map method. The words are also horizontal, but the regional divisions are very clear and the outlines are clear.
"This, this is?" The courtiers were stunned by the colorful map.
The maps Zhu Qiyu usually looks at are also in black and white!
They were all vertical characters, which made Zhu Qiyu dizzy. Fortunately, the map was big enough, otherwise he would have been blinded.
This time I used colorful graffiti to draw the map in a modern way.
Much more comfortable.
At the signature, it is written that in the ninth year of Jingtai, the person who bestowed great merit...
Leave the name blank.
"Look, gentlemen, this is the map of the Ming Dynasty!"
North Korea, Jiaozhi, and Hami are among them!
Obviously, the emperor had already estimated it, so he sent the needlework bureau to embroider it early.
Actually no, this was added later.
The map has just become larger, which is not a problem for the palace's exquisite embroidery workers.
Yu Qian got closer and found that the golden areas were embroidered with gold threads, and the silver ones were embroidered with silver threads. Such a map is worth thousands of gold.
"I will give these three maps to the three people who have made the greatest contributions this year!"
Zhu Qiyu's voice came: "I will give this first painting to Wang Yue!"
"Wang Yue devoured North Korea, his achievements have marked the history, and he has made great achievements. In the ninth year of Jingtai, he achieved the greatest achievement, and I think it belongs to Wang Yue!"
The courtiers were quite critical of Wang Yue's acquisition of the first map.
Wang Yue did not completely include North Korea. Now North Korea is still at war and there are still variables. I am afraid that if someone repeats it at this time, wouldn't it slap the emperor in the face?
The problem is, you have to hold in your dissatisfaction.
This is a reward. The courtiers can't come in person and bargain with the emperor, right? Face is always needed.
"I will give this second painting to Zhu Ying."
"Under Zhu Ying's two years of rule, Shandong has become a land of peach gardens and a province of paradise, and Zhu Ying is indispensable."
"So, give this map to Zhu Ying!"
Zhu Qiyu wanted to establish Zhu Ying as a brand and let governors all over the world learn from him.
I don't care what happens to the people, I want to see political achievements.
"I will give the third map to Jin Zhong."
"Although Jin Zhong is just a eunuch, he made a great contribution to the plowing of Jiangxi. Jin Zhong was the first to make the central government's silver coin reform smooth."
"Although he is a chamberlain, he should be rewarded for what he deserves!"
"This third map is given to Jin Zhong!"
This map is the least controversial.
Because Jin Zhong got more than 200 million silver for the central government, and now he went to South Zhili to get money again. Such a God of Wealth must be supported.
Now these three people are not in Beijing.
After adding embroidered names, they were all given to their homes, and an imperial edict was issued to tell them personally.
"Last year I gave jade carvings to civil servants. This year's jade carvings are different from last year's. I used corn as the shape and ordered people to carve them into jade carvings."
"Send it up!"
The eunuch presented a tray with three exquisite jade carvings in the shape of corns.
There is a line of small words on the jade carving: In the ninth year of Jingtai, he was a civil servant who made great achievements in the dynasty.
"Actually, there are many civil servants who should be given jade carvings this year, such as Li Bing and Wang Shu from Rehe, Yuan Jie from Ningxia, Kou Shen from Gansu, Wang Lai, Gong Yongji, and Xuan Xian from Xuanzhen, Li Xian from Liaoning, and North Korea. Cheng Xin and Luo Qi from Shandong, Zhu Ying and Xiang Zhong from Shandong, Zhang Feng from Jiangnan, Ma Jin from Jiangxi, Nian Fu and Han Yong from Lianghu, Xue Xuan and Xue Yuan from Guangxi, Xia Xun, Bian Yong and Pan Benyu from Jiaozhi. , Li Kuang from Guizhou are all qualified!"
Zhu Qiyu mentioned these names, all of which have made great achievements this year.
"This is local. Everyone in the central committee, Geng Qing, Bai Qing, Yao Qing, Wang Qing, etc., are all qualified to compete for these three places."
"I want to forge fifty jade sculptures."
"I see what you have done this year, and I am very satisfied."
"But since we have set the rules, we must abide by them and select three from among the many famous officials who have made the greatest contributions this year."
The courtier was a little nervous, but he felt that it had little to do with him.
The competitive pressure is too great.
There are too many officials who have made great achievements this year.
"I will give this first jade sculpture to Bai Gui, who has worked the hardest this year!"
Bai Gui choked up and wanted to cry.
What should have belonged to him last year was given to Geng Jiuchou.
This year it was finally his turn.
He knelt on the ground with his hands in the air.
The emperor placed the jade carving in the palm of his hand.
"Bai Qing, the Ministry of Rites has a heavy burden. You must continue to shoulder it for the court." Zhu Qiyu patted him on the shoulder.
The jade carvings are corn-shaped, with corn kernels arranged neatly and staggered. The carving is exquisite, and the most important thing is its value.
It says that in the ninth year of Jingtai's reign, he was the most meritorious among civil servants.
There is no name, and we have to wait for the engraver to add it after the royal gift.
These things, even if one day the family is confiscated and the family is exterminated, these things will not be taken back. These are the things that can be passed down for eternity.
"This second statue will be given to Kou Shen!"
"Kou Shen governed Gansu and Ningxia with considerable merit. He also followed the army and annexed Hami. He made great achievements. I think his merits are immeasurable!"
The civil servants were dissatisfied with each other. Kou Shen took advantage of the terrain. Hami was so weak that anyone else could have calmed down.
Zhu Qiyu said: "The third one will be given to..."
He had thought about Bai Gui and Kou Shen very early.
But for the third one, there are two candidates, Xiang Zhong and Cheng Xin.
Cheng Xin planned the coup to seize North Korea, which was the second greatest contribution to the recovery of North Korea.
Xiang Zhong was a hero who assisted Zhu Ying in the great rule of Shandong. At the same time, he led troops to clean up the Japanese pirates at sea. The key is that this person is proficient in water warfare, cavalry warfare, and infantry warfare. He is an all-rounder. He will be used in the future and should be bribed.
"Give it to Cheng Xin!"
"Cheng Xin has been on a mission to North Korea for nearly two years, affecting the situation in North Korea and providing opportunities for Jurchen soldiers to enter North Korea. He also planned the coup to seize the country and created opportunities for the Ming Dynasty to regain North Korea."
"His merits are worthy of this third jade sculpture!"
Zhu Qiyu also had another idea: he wanted to win over the Yingfu faction.
Nowadays, the Yingfu faction is rising in local areas, such as Xu Jue, Cheng Xin, Luo Qi, Feng Qing, Xue Yuan, Liao Zhuang, etc., who were all members of Zhu Qizhen's party.
Now they are all reused.
Therefore, he needs to tell the Yingfu Sect that I have a broad mind and use talents in an eclectic way.
In order to do business, he tried his best to create a relaxed political environment, hide his evil thoughts, and make concessions for his ideals.
Simply give in one step to the end.
Let the world see that I, Zhu Qiyu, am tolerant of others.
The courtiers were surprised by this choice, and instantly understood the emperor's intention, which was to win over the restorationists.
The emperor used the Yingfu faction again, and he was also telling other ministers that I only need my ability and don't care about anything else.
I even told the ministers in the world that as long as you have the ability, I will use you, no matter what you have done.
Many courtiers were disappointed.
They all felt that they had done a lot of things but were not favored by the emperor.
"I see everything you ministers have done. You have done very well this year. I am also very satisfied with what the local governor has done. The local officials have also done very well."
Zhu Qiyu encouraged him.
The eunuch brought the third tray.
It's a golden gun, but it's different from last year's. Last year's was a gun, but this year's is a gun.
"This is the latest matchlock gun developed by the Ordnance Bureau."
"Light the match and it will fire."
Zhu Qiyu played with the golden gun, which was made in a one-to-one ratio and could be fired.
"I will give this first one to Xiang Zhong!"
"Although Xiang Zhong was a civil servant, he was responsible for suppressing the bandits and cooperating with Zhu Ying to properly resettle the refugees. His hard work and merit are enough to grant him a title."
The courtiers were slightly surprised by the choice of Xiang Zhong. The other two people were almost certain.
"The second one is given to Tao Cheng!"
"Tao Cheng was ordered to recover more than 70 cities in Annan when he was in danger. He deserves to be granted a title!"
The courtier was immediately confused. Shouldn't it be given to Fang Ying?
In the Battle of Annan, Fang Ying was the one who made the greatest contribution!
Why did it become Tao Cheng?
The emperor did not take the usual path: "This third one will be given to Li Zhen, who made the greatest contribution in the defense of Nanjing!"
That’s not right!
The person in the courtier's mind should be Chen You.
But the selection of the three emperors was beyond expectations.
But it contains a strong political undertone.
Xiang Zhong and Li Zhen made it clear to the emperor that the next step was to deal with Japanese pirates.
Granting Tao Cheng told the world that the one who made the greatest contribution was the one on the front line, and encouraged the general to go to the front line to supervise the battle.
The fourth tray was brought up.
What was given to the eunuch this year was not last year's jade plaque, but a palace made of glass, built according to the value of the house where the eunuch lived.
The transparent glass allows you to see the other person's face from the opposite side, which is very delicate and beautiful.
It reads: In the ninth year of Jingtai, he was the eunuch who made the greatest contribution.
"I would like to give this first palace to Feng Xiao, who is by my side, working conscientiously, making suggestions for the government, and speaking good words to all the ministers."
Not giving it to Feng Xiao last year made Feng Xiao sad for a long time.
This year the first one was given to him, there is no doubt about it.
But the second one is interesting.
The Ming Dynasty fought in various places, and there were many eunuchs with great military exploits. For example, Qin Cheng, Jin Zhong, and Wang Cheng all had military exploits.
"This second one, I want to give... Dong Ci, who is in charge of the royal trading house for me, has a flexible mind, and works hard for the country's finances!"
Although this choice was reasonable, it was unexpected.
Dong Ci's merits are indeed considerable, but merchants are still small in the end. The fact that the emperor gave him the gift shows that the emperor should pay more attention to business.
There are only two candidates for the third honor, one is Zhang Yong who works conscientiously in the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and the other is Wang Cheng who supervises the army in Anhui.
It depends on how the emperor chooses.
"This third honor, I want to give it to Zhang Yong, who works conscientiously in the palace and reviews memorials every day!"
The courtiers were stunned again.
It should be given to Wang Cheng.
It’s not that they don’t give, it’s that they don’t get enough points.
Zhang Yong, who served as the Supervisor of Ceremonies this year, has made great progress. He has already developed the demeanor of a great scholar and handles government affairs in an orderly manner.
If all were given to the eunuchs who contributed to pioneering and leading troops.
Then who will be willing to work conscientiously in the center in the future?
After all, those who do these practical things will not be recorded in the history. These are the talents who maintain the stability of the government.
Zhu Qiyu must strike a balance, and he needs talents in all aspects.
So I gave it to Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong, who was in the Bureau of Ceremonies, heard that he was given a palace. He covered his face and cried for a long time. He worked conscientiously in the Bureau of Ceremonies, and the emperor saw it, so he was satisfied.
Something strange happened to Jingtai Chao.
In the past, ministers who were in the center and in front of the emperor had the greatest credit.
In the Jingtai Dynasty, local officials had the greatest credit. Those around the emperor were often invisible in the dark under the lamp.
"My lords, if you don't get a reward, don't be discouraged. If you get a reward, keep up the good work."
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "Those who have made great contributions this year will have a monument built in their hometown according to the list, and a temple will be built to worship them a hundred years later."
"Even if you make mistakes in the future, even if you commit the crime of confiscating your family and exterminating your family, this reward will not be taken back, and the sculptures you built are not allowed to be destroyed. Great achievements are great achievements, and they will not be annihilated by mistakes!"
This is a resounding statement.
But when it came to the inner feelings of the courtiers, the emperor often looked for clues, which made people feel very insecure.
"I will recommend a few people to erect a stone monument to Zhu Ying in Jinan. At the original site in Hancheng, a monument will be built for Cheng Xin and Luo Qi. In Hami, a monument will be built for Chen You and Kou Shen. In Tangzhou, a monument will be built for Fang Ying and Tao Cheng."
The courtier was slightly stunned, don't you consider the thoughts of the local people?
"We in China have countless famous ministers and generals from ancient times to the present. Next year, they will erect monuments and biographies at the places where they made great contributions so that future generations can admire them."
"Also, in every city occupied by the Ming Dynasty, the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty must be erected and the national emblem of the Ming Dynasty must be hung. It can never be removed without my will."
Zhu Qiyu attaches great importance to the national flag.
"The day after tomorrow, it will be Jingtai's tenth year!"
"In the ten years of Jingtai, I hope that Ming Dynasty will take on a new look."
"I hope there will be no more disasters in the Yellow River, and the faces of the people on both sides of the strait will be happy;"
"I hope that education will be spread to every government, so that students all over the world will have books to read, teachers to teach, and students all over the world will have smiles on their faces;"
"I hope to see that people's homes will have spare money and food, and their lives will become richer, and there will be smiling faces in their homes."
"I hope there will be no banditry, no refugees, no injustice, no roads that are difficult to walk on, no people who cannot read newspapers, no officials who are corrupt and pervert the law, no lawless gentry, no dignitaries who bully others..."
"I hope that in the ten years of Jingtai, the people will be able to fill their bellies and wear warm clothes; the construction of Rehe and Ningxia will be completed, and North Korea, Hami, Turpan, and Jiaozhi will be able to return to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty; the world will be peaceful, there will be no war, and the people will settle down and settle down. The family and the country are in peace.”
Zhu Qiyu sat back on the throne: "I hope that the tenth year of Jingtai will be an unusual year."
"Long live your majesty!"
The courtiers knelt on the ground and shouted long live the mountain.
What the emperor said is that there is no big reason for the things we are doing now. They are commonplace and commonplace things for people all over the world.
This is the sage king, the emperor who cares about the people, the emperor who truly loves his country and his people.
"Today is the ninth year of Jingtai, the last morning dynasty."
"Is there anything going on?"
Next, it is time to deal with the world's government affairs.
I was busy until noon before going down to court.
Wuying Hall, Zhu Qiyu planned to use it as a place to reward hundreds of officials.
Back at Yangxin Hall, Zhu Qiyu had lunch first.
Feng Xiao secretly choked up with emotion. The eunuchs serving in the Yangxin Hall also wanted to win this honor.
"Your Majesty, what are the arrangements for this year's New Year's Eve dinner?" Feng Xiao asked in a low voice.
"Just meet up as a family, don't sit at the same table to eat."
Zhu Qiyu's anger has not yet passed.
Although Empress Tang was granted the title of queen, she only lived in the cold Kunning Palace, and the emperor did not even look at her.
"What about the Japanese prince?"
"Don't put it into the palace, let him eat in the house, and give the next barbecue, don't leave him coldly." Zhu Qiyu showed it for the kings.
The New Year is just a face.
This year is not interesting.
In the 30th year, a set of processes that were always talked about, Zhu Qiyu was so tired.
The New Year's Eve dinner was shining with each other, and the exposed face was scattered. When they returned to each palace to eat, no one dared to touch the emperor's mold.
Everyone can see that the emperor was in a bad mood.
Zhu Qiyu left Hu Guiju for a sleeping.
And Xing Guo Gong.
In Yu Qian's house, Yu Kang was ordered at home.
The emperor gave a barbecue banquet.
But Yu Qian's emotions were obviously not high, and there was no interest in poetry.
After dinner, I returned to my room and "thought on the wall."
In Gain, the emperor made him practicing the sailor, but he was not allowed to leave Beijing. This made him remotely controlled in the middle, and many things were difficult to start fist.
"The emperor is guarding me."
Yu Qian sighed facing the wall, and sighed: "As a last resort, let me contaminate military power, but they are prepared everywhere, huh ..."
"But do you know?"
"Since I practiced the sailor, I naturally inserted it in me. How can you prevent it?"
Yu Qian has become smooth, I don't want to be saints, and I want to be a king.
The practice of 500,000 sailors, this is his opportunity to seize the military power.
But the emperor was still guarding him, not allowing him to leave Beijing, and worried that he was fighting against his soldiers.
Do not estimate the ambition of people.
Ambition is growing with strength.
In the past, Yu Qian didn't want military power because he wanted to be a saint.
Now Yu Qian needs military power, and he uses military power to survive.
Don't look at it in the early dynasty, the monarchs and ministers are actually made for Bai Guan. Everyone is fighting.
"You have a big reward today, but there is no name for my Yu Qian."
"Isn't it just to prevent me?"
"Who is your secret exploration by me? As long as I have a change, I will immediately kill me, right?"
Yu Qian murmured to himself: "Is it Kang'er?"
"Do you really trust him?"
"Ah……"
"His Majesty, you are too anxious to do things, you will get back sooner or later. This govern the world is not for you to control it like this."
"You want to give the people well, but when the people are rebellious everywhere, can you still want to give them?"
"Do you really need it?" Is the people really need it? "
"You are so naive."
"Well, you guard me."
"Don't let me go to the Naohiro of Nan Zhili, but choose Hu Yan's old slippery head. Look at it, you will regret it."
With worldwide Yu Qian, it became extremely terrible.
No one couldn't see his mind.
At the same time, after the emperor was in the house, he was pondering Yu Qian's mind.
"His Majesty, what are you thinking?" Hu Guiju wore the emperor.
She was raised for a few months before she had a body.
But the doctor said that she may no longer conceive.
Say she doesn't hate, is it possible?
She buried this idea deeply in her heart and never told anyone.
Lin Yu, who entered the palace with her, was pregnant again.
Chen, who served the emperor for a long time, and Chen Xianzhang's daughter, also became pregnant.
This year, several nobles in the palace were pregnant.
"I think about Xing Guogong."
Zhu Qiyu does not care about the foreign relatives. He is not like the emperor of the ancestor to prevent foreign relatives, because the foreign relatives are doing politics, which will never be avoided.
Isn't Empress Zhang Queen in power for seven years?
If you want to eliminate the foreign relatives, you have to live for the emperor for a long time. The son is older. Don't die early, otherwise there will be a power minister, or the foreign relatives are doing politics.
This is no way, it is better to stop.
"Xing Guogong holds his military power, don't you worry about His Majesty?" Hu Guiju asked with great boldness.
"No, I am not sorry for Xing Guogong. He is not necessary to rebel." Zhu Qiyu said playing.
Don't take a big righteousness to be a person.
In the face of power, those are nonsense, and power will push people forward, so Zhuge Liang is great.
In the eyes of the emperor, the best courtiers are Zhuge Liang.
"It's just a 500,000 male soldiers, all from his hands, it will inevitably affect his feelings and my feelings."
Are you still worried?
Hu Guiju whispered: "Chen Ye's speech, can it be regarded as a dry government?"
"What is the political collapse, what is the political? But the whisper between your husband and wife."
The word husband and wife touched Hu Guiju's nerves and reeducatedly, and said, "Your Majesty, you can be adjusted back to Beijing."
Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrink slightly: "Then say."
"Chen Xun finished." Hu Guiju smoothed his head.
That's right, if you want to control the saint Yu Qian, you have to use the reputation of Qian; you can control Yu Qian, who wants to seal the king, and have to use his son.
Yu Qian has only only his son. Without his son, he became a loneliness.
Seeing that the emperor didn't say a word for a long time, Hu Guiju called and couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and continued: "Xing Guogong has no opponent in the DPRK."
Speaking of ideas again!
The root cause of the wrong incident lies in Zhu Qiyu.
At first, in order to disintegrate the army's head, Yu Qian was stuffed into the army, and Yu Qian was named Guogong, and the forces in the army were balanced.
In this way, Yu Qian changed from a civilian to a noble.
There is no opponent on the civilian side.
Originally, the emperor could be as stable as Taishan.
Yu Qian himself is a civilian. He is well known in the civilians. Now he has become a noble, which is equivalent to the two ends, and there is no natural enemy at all.
The emperor was distressed.
"How to solve it?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Guiju's slightly blessed face, fair and round, but it was really beautiful.
It is worthy of Hu Yan's granddaughter, female middle school Zhuge.
"The Chinese -funded calendar is higher than Xing Guogong, and the age is bigger than Xing Guogong.
Hu Guiju is too brave.
There is also a deep meaning of this sentence, that is, Xing Guogong's warfare, the aura brought about, is dissipating.
You should find an opportunity to break his halo.
Only the emperor could take him.
"Who do you think is right?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"His Majesty, but Chen Jie is not a harem woman. Where do you know so many officials in the past?" Hu Guiju dared not say.
Her grandfather is the most suitable!
Zhu Qiyu took her: "I can marry you, splashing the sky."
"The marriage of Chen Ji to the Holy is the blessing for a few life." Hu Guiju wanted to kneel down.
Zhu Qiyu was about to move and wanted to come again, but thought of the advice of the Taiyi, let's suppress it for the time being.
Hu Guiju also thought that the problem was that the emperor curbed herself, and she didn't dare to ask.
I can only secretly use my hands ...
On New Year's Eve, the palaces are not very good.
Several concubines in the palace, the queen, and the concubine of the palace did not get a reward, but instead they were low, and they were rewarded.
Ten years of Jingtai, the first day of the New Year.
Zhu Qiyu watched the chapter in Yangxin Hall.
"Emperor, Annan urgently reported."
Zhu Qiyu thought it was Annan fought again. As a result, Bian Yong's play was played, and the thick tightness had two thick books.
They are written in the form of a diary.
Like chatting with the emperor and using this way, the emperor can feel the mentality when Bian Yong wrote these texts. He has worries, surprises, and doubts, which can make the emperor in the realm.
Zhu Qiyu was interesting, until he saw the corn seeds and immediately asked: "Liu Zhenhai can be secretly coming?"
"Back to the emperor, there was a secret play in the 29th month of the lunar month. I didn't write the" urgent "on it, so I didn't read it for the time being." Feng Xiao returned.
Because the palace is busy with the New Year, there is no time to watch.
Eunuchs soon sent.
Liu Zhenhai wrote in the secret play that Pan Benyu led a large number of ships and arrived in Guangzhou, above all the purchase list.
Zhu Qiyu looked seriously and asked the eunuchs in the palace to come to the staff.
The New Year's Eve is in the New Year, and now he comes to discuss the matter.
In the purchase list, there are two vessels of corn seeds, more than 100 warships, several military weapons, several daily necessities, and some other seeds.
Every cost is very high.
Xiyi was used as a sheep as a sheep and wool in the dead.
"Emperor, the price is too high, this corn seed, measured with silk?" Feng Xiao was speechless.
"purchase!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "All the seeds buy, and tell those businessmen that Daming acquires all seeds, all use silk trading!"
"The emperor, the businessmen are greedy, and they don't talk about credibility. If you buy it, they must have charged it and deceive us." Feng Xiao did not believe in the businessman.
"It's okay, lied to us, maybe it is also a good thing."
Zhu Qiyu didn't care: "Tell them, seeds and books, Daming acquired, all use porcelain and silk to trade."
"Emperor, they are all unprepared. What is the use of books?" Feng Xiao was puzzled, and Daming's books represent the highest civilization.
"Feng Xiao, don't sit down and watch the sky."
"Ah?" Feng Xiao was embarrassed, Daming was well? Are you kidding!
Zhu Qiyu explained to him: "Whether the paper is expensive, what can be remembered on the paper is the most precious."
"And silk and porcelain, I can make it casually in Daming, and I use some playters to exchange knowledge and future. This sale is not lost."
Indeed, merchants are all sneaky.
I will definitely take false seeds and deceive silk.
However, in these fake seeds, what if Zhu Qiyu is expected to be unable to be available?
Even if it is a flower, it is good.
"Liu Zhenhai, all the seeds are planted under Guangxi."
"Chuannun to Xu Yan, let him send a person who is proficient in planting corn, go to Guangxi, and operate these seeds."
"Let Xue Xun draw the next place, you must pay great attention to the planting of these seeds, and you must not make any mistakes."
"As for the warship, delivered to Zhu Yong, merged with Annan warships, and handed it to the boatman to imitate."
"Other things, after the Jianghe thaw, transport it to the Beijing Division."
Today, corn cultivation is in two places in Liaoning and Jingshi.
"Eight hundred miles are in a hurry, and the purpose of Liu Zhenhai must be traded with Xi Yi Shang Jia, and attracts more Xi Yili Daming trade."
"And ask them to assist in as appropriate to defeat the sea kou."
"Then send someone from the center, and learn from these Xiyi businessmen, all of them, all write down, waiting for the book to arrive, all translated."
"Give it to the Siyi Pavilion to do it, and I need to be proficient in talents of the language of all ethnic groups in the world."
Zhu Qiyu was salivating.
The source of the Huaxia civilization is long, and the root cause is culture.
He can destroy the culture of Annan and North Korea because their culture comes from Daming, but the culture of some countries must protect it.
All translated into Daming's culture.
Then burn their culture!
Zhu Qiyu thought a lot in an instant: "Go, let the heavy ministers declare, and I have to discuss it."
"Emperor, you said all, this is the New Year."
"Prepare some gifts and give them when the ministers leave the palace."
Waited for a full hour.
It was already afternoon that the ministers were late.
Everyone was celebrating the New Year at home and was declared by the emperor's imperial decree.
After seeing the ceremony, Zhu Qiyu read the secrets of the border and Liu Zhenhai to the courtiers.
"Your Majesty, is this price too expensive?" Geng Jiuchou frowned.
"It's okay, the price is not a problem. As long as they are transported to our seeds and books, they are willing to spend how much money."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "The coming of Zhu Qing, not to discuss this matter."
"King Siam is extremely respectful on the surface. In fact, he was sold to Xi Yi with the gift of Daming and earned the difference."
"Zhu Qing should know, right?"
The courtiers nodded.
That reward is nothing to Daming, but it can also make the Siam king tribute to the years. Why not?
Chaogong is also a way to communicate.
"I thought, now the waterway is not over, can I go out of the Silk Road through the land road?"
Zhu Qiyu walked to the map and pointed at Guangxi: "Departing from Guangxi, walking from Annan, Laos, Cambodia, Siam, walking out of a Silk Road."
"In Siam, you can take a boat to poison, or you can take the tea -horse trail from Yunnan and trade with the poison."
Just bypass Myanmar.
The place in Myanmar, with Da Tomorrow's criminals, has to fight in no matter which dynasty established. It seems that if you do n’t fight Daming, you ca n’t show their strength.
Myanmar has not been unified since ancient times. It was forcibly pinched by the British and French colonists to form today's Myanmar.
This place has always been war.
Now, Beru and Awa, almost hit the dog's mind, and there is a Lugawa next to Yunnan.
The Three Kingdoms have long strips and are completely three countries.
There are many tribes in it, which is chaotic inside, anyway, this place is chaotic into a pot of porridge.
Don't say Laos. Laos is the weakest country on the Central South Peninsula. Annan, Siam, and Myanmar have packed him casually, and Cambodia also hurts him.
The name of Laos is also given by Emperor Taizong.
This is a super weak chicken.
The geographical location is also bad, and there are no wealthy places in China, so Zhu Qiyu is a little bit looked at it.
"What does His Majesty want?" Yao Yan asked first.
"I said the truth, I look at the poison."
"We are too far away from us, and we can't get troops for the time being."
"But don't prevent it. Let's communicate with them. The poison is closer to Xiyi.
To put it plainly, it is the set of colonies.
But crossing the entire Central South Peninsula to colonize, it takes granted.
"Her Majesty, what's good about poison?" Yao Yan didn't understand. In the New Year, the emperor suddenly brought a hundred officials to do things?
"I have two meanings."
"First, to communicate more, Daming closed its own lock, there is no good, go to see these countries in the South, and seduce business to make money."
"Second, familiar with the Central South environment, I sent troops to go back and forth, establish a stronghold in various places, and annexing a country and a country."
Zhu Qiyu stopped slightly: "As for the poison, I also want to build a stronghold, to trade a lot, and understand each other."
He couldn't say that he was poisonous with the best land in Asia.
Dreaming is not a panacea. There is no good word.
Hundred officials don't go to the world, how do you know the world?
"How many soldiers do you want to send?" Yao Yan asked again.
"Tens of thousands, open up the new Silk Road."
Yao Yan turned his eyes, this little thing, do you toss us?
"The old minister has no opinion."
"I have no objection."
The courtiers feel that it is a trivial matter. If you communicate with each other, do good things, do it.
For Daming, tens of thousands of people can't count anything.
"This is the first thing to call Zhu Qing."
"The second thing, I want to send Pan Ben's fool to make Oroba!"
This is the purpose of Zhu Qiyu.
"Outblowing Lwarba?"
Geng Jiuzhong smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, we have no treasure boat. Why should we make it again after the construction of the treasure boat?"
"I mean, as the merchant ship goes out of the Lota."
"Bian Yong wrote in the letter that there are many countries in Europa, that is, to trade with us."
"The firearm of Furuang machine, Zhu Qing is deeply touched."
"This Terrarian machine is in Europa, but it is just a place. Oroba is wider than Daming.
"I want to send Pan Benyu to Europa, and then invite the envoys of the Europa countries to come to Da Ming."
"Geng Qing is worried that there is no treasure boat. In fact, we should worry more about how to go to Europa. There is no sea map. We can't find it."
Zheng He stopped his steps without walking to Europa.
The current sea road is in the hands of Spain and Da Nian, and Daming can't go at all.
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "I want to send an ambassador. After passing each other, there will be Haitu. When the treasure boat is built, I can send a fleet to make a Uroba!"
The courtiers had objections to this.
Where is Europa? Is there any danger on the road? How to come back?
In case, Pan Benyu was killed by those businessmen on the road?
This is a very normal thing. These businessmen are actually pirates. Do n’t do it too well.
Daming does not have a treasure boat, it is difficult to make a envoy.
"His Majesty, the country is not as good as waiting for a few years. First, please ask the Euoloba to make a envoy. What do you see?"
Bai Gui said: "We can invite the big food envoy to come to Da Ming."
Great food, we are familiar.
After walking the Silk Road in the Western Regions, the end is the big food.
"I know that it is a very dangerous thing for tens of thousands of miles of envoys, but I feel that I don't take a look at Europa in person, I am very worried about Ferlang machine to attack Daming."
Are you here again?
When you imitate the firearm, you will be stunned by you!
Europa is far away from Daming. How can I attack Daming?
"His Majesty, after all, it is a matter of nine deaths. Please ask Pan Benyu's opinions." Yao Yan is nonsense.
The emperor's destiny, still care of your minister's opinions, think too much?
"So, this year I will not make Oroba, how about the poisonous and big food?" Zhu Qiyu gave a step.
Daming didn't know yet, and the food was destroyed by Xu Liewu long ago.
Also provided by the tablet of Xu Liewu, I do n’t know how to achieve their merits.
"Your Majesty, what is the big food now, let's not know." Geng Jiuchou smiled bitterly.
"So go and see."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Pick out an envoy from the middle of the DPRK, go out of the big food, and send another envoy to poison."
Seeing that the emperor was determined to be determined, the courtiers had no opinion.
Zhu Qiyu is very satisfied: "The candidate is settled, and then a group of those who are not afraid of death from the army and want to go to foreign countries to build their careers and send them together."
"Ordered all countries to provide supplies to my envoys."
What exactly is this world.
Daming looked from Da Yuan's history books. It was a few hundred years ago. Zhu Qiyu really had two eyes to this world.
"New Year's Eve, I’ m working in Zhuqing. ”
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "So, there is still a grilled seasoning in the palace. When Zhu Qing returned home, he brought it back and tasted it for his family."
The eyes of the courtiers brightened, and the spicy taste was really good.
They also tried in the morning, and there was no fragrance of pepper.
Use pepper to make barbecue seasonings, and the nobles are tired of eating. It is not a fresh thing. The pepper is the soul.
"Your Majesty, how many years do you say that this pepper has been popular?" Geng Jiuchou was so spicy.
"According to our speed, don't think about it for a hundred years."
Zhu Qiyu said: "So I sent the envoys to the world to see. In case of which country is everywhere, we will destroy him and grab the peppers back!"
Geng Jiuchou nodded.
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Geng Qing, we trade with Yi people, and the pepper is naturally here."
"According to what I know, there are many varieties of this pepper. This is only one of them. It is not delicious."
The eyes of the courtiers brightened: "Your Majesty, your dream, and other peppers?"
"Wait for Zhuqing to see the world, you know Er, wait for the sky to watch the sky."
The courtiers don't believe it at all, Daming is the heaven!
When Zheng He went to the west, he said that he was a savage everywhere, and Daming was the most civilized country. There was no one!
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and let them go down.
It is necessary to make a poisonous body poison.
It is best to establish a trade base along the way to facilitate future soldiers.
After the courtiers retreated, Zhu Qiyu was still thinking and murmured: "There is no world map, how to go, there is no roadmap, you have to come out step by step."
"Passing the place of mind, calling a group of people who are not afraid of death from the people, to poison and eat for me!"
This year, people are too superstitious and are too afraid of unknown.
You must be voluntary, and then conduct a few months of training, and then send troops to make a division. Zhu Qiyu plans to send 10,000 troops, to make a poison, and establish a stronghold in the poison.
The day before yesterday was 15,000, and I owed a thousand words yesterday, so 16,000, pay off!
Thanks to the reward!
Every day there is a wish, and it is updated when it comes to it. It should be able to do it. Today, it is time to play. The author goes to play for 2K ~
