The person who presides over the northern martial arts has the best chance of becoming the next military leader.
And the emperor's most trusted military commander is far away but right in front of him.
"I think Uncle Ning Yuan is suitable," Hu Hu said.
That's right, it was Fan Guang who the emperor wanted to support.
In the past two years, Fan Guang has been working diligently as a guard, but he has worked hard but has no merit, so he cannot be promoted.
Presiding over the martial arts affairs is to let him establish the top of the army. This time the martial arts candidates are all his disciples.
"Fan Guang is guarding me and watching the generals performing meritorious services and being promoted to nobility. He can only guard me. Let him be in charge this time."
Fan Guang thanked him gratefully and said some disgusting words of loyalty.
Although he is just an earl, unless the emperor needs him to protect him in recent years, he is also a duke.
"After the martial arts studies are over, Fan Guang will go to Ningxia to take charge of the army."
Zhu Qiyu pressed his hands and refused to listen to the advice: "Listen to me first. I know that we can't open another battlefield."
"It's not to fight against the Eastern Chagatai Khanate."
"But Yuanjie Shangshu said that Oala's eastward movement caused friction with the border areas."
"I issued a decree and told him to be patient. There have been no major battles to be fought in recent years."
Hearing what the emperor said, the courtiers were immediately relieved.
The Ming Dynasty already has two fronts. The logistics of the Ming Dynasty are very difficult. There is still a drought in the country and life is difficult.
Regardless of the victory achieved by the Northeast, in fact, the foundation of Wuliangha is still there, and there is no room for sloppiness. This war is a long war of attrition. It is hard to endure to see who can withdraw from the Northeast first.
"Fan Guang is going to Ningxia. Firstly, he will recruit troops to prepare for war, and secondly, he will be gentle with the Hulu."
"Da Ming and Wala do have a grudge."
"But Wala no longer exists, and the hatred must be over."
"We should accept the Hu soldiers for our own use."
"You don't have to worry about running out of wars. There are wars in Ningxia every day, and there are often wars with the Eastern Chagatai Khanate."
"I order you to be the governor of Yunliang, control the armies of the two places, and grant the title of General Hu Might."
General Huwei is a second-grade general, above the general.
"I thank the Lord for your kindness!" Fan Guang kowtows respectfully, his heart is burning, and he is finally ready to go out and make contributions.
Fang Yingdu has become a duke. Give him a few years and he can become a duke.
"Since we are talking about war."
"Let's talk about the wars in these years."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Everyone knows that there are many wars that I don't want to fight."
"For example, the Battle of Pingchang and Cambodia, the battle against the Southeastern Allied Forces, and even the Battle of Turpan are not what I want to fight."
"But there's no way."
"There are too many Dingkou in the Ming Dynasty. If we don't solve it, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."
"I am impatient and I feel it is too slow to solve the problem slowly."
Zhu Qiyu said: "As a result, we have stirred up a hornet's nest. The barbarians in the southeast regard the Ming Dynasty as an enemy bandit. It is very difficult to occupy another territory."
"Yesterday Liang Yue's memorial was delivered to the palace."
"After reading it, I feel deeply helpless. The Southeast Yi people are afraid that it is so clear that I can't describe it in words."
"If I want to occupy a country in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to kill everyone one by one. After killing them, I won't know how old the monkey is."
This remark caused a heated discussion.
The cabinet and even the people are discussing this matter. The Battle of Pingchang and Cambodia completely frightened the Southeast Yi, so the Southeast Allied Forces launched the Anti-Ming War. They attacked Bo Ni and Luzon and encountered unprecedented resistance.
"Li Dongyang wrote a memorial to me, and I was reflecting on it after reading it."
"Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the Han people have been expanding their territory."
"Since Emperor Taizu, Ming Dynasty has been expanding externally, but this expansion is steady, slow, and everyone is happy."
"It didn't change until the Jingtai Dynasty."
"Did I lead Daming astray?"
"I have thought about it for a long time and found that it is not true. The Ming Dynasty had three completely different attitudes towards the Hulu, foreigners, and Southeast Yi."
"Let's talk about the tribes in Mobei first. Basically, there is fighting and peace. If you can be gentle, be gentle, and if you can be subdued, be subdued. How many Hu generals are there in the army? There are all the tribes, including Mongolians, Jurchens, Huihui, Sauron, etc. There are quite a few people serving as officials, right?"
"Although the Ming Dynasty engaged in massacres, it never massacred a country, and it conquered as many countries as possible, and tried to be as gentle as possible for its own use."
"I treat the foreign races within my territory, including the Miao, Yi, Zhuang, and Yao people, as if they were my own children. Many people are envious, jealous, and hateful of them."
"Let's just talk about the Guangdong and Guangxi armies and the Guizhou army. How many people have been knighted? How many people are guarding me in the palace?"
"This year, the Guizhou chieftains were pacified. All those prisoners were incorporated into the army. Who was killed? They were even reluctant to use them for road construction. They used slaves bought from India."
"Back then, there were millions of soldiers in Guangxi. Who doesn't yearn for the Ming Dynasty now? Who isn't my die-hard loyalist?"
As Zhu Qiyu spoke, the officials pondered and nodded slightly.
The most wonderful thing about the emperor is that he used the Guangxi army to defeat Jiaozhi, the Guizhou army to defeat the Southeast Yi, the Mongols to defeat the Jurchens, and the Jurchens to defeat the Mongols.
To do this, we must rely on two things: first, the Han army is strong enough; second, the emperor is rich enough.
"Except for the Southeast Yi, what is the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards them?"
"I don't think of them as extraordinary people at all."
“That’s why there was the Massacre of Annam, the Massacre of Champa, and the Massacre of Cambodia.”
"It was only then that the Southeast Yi rebelled, and that made it impossible for the Ming Dynasty to easily acquire the territory of the Southeast Yi."
"That's where the roots lie."
"Don't talk about me. Does anyone in the government or the public regard them as human beings?"
"I guess not?"
Zhu Qiyu said: "We have three completely different attitudes towards the people in northern Xinjiang, southwest Xinjiang, and southern Xinjiang, which is why we are in today's situation."
The courtiers were also thinking.
Yes, when did you start to regard Southeast Yi as a human being?
After the Slave Emancipation Order, the emperor first promoted the idea that they are not human beings, only those within the territory of China are human beings.
This idea, after repeated exaggeration and publicity, has taken root among the people.
Look at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the massacres in Balni and Luzon. Did anyone go to the public to criticize the brutality? It seems that there really isn't, it seems that they are all used to it.
"Your Majesty, is this a memorial from Li Dongyang, the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Li Xian discovered a peerless genius.
The eunuch sent a memorial to Li Xian.
After Li Xian read it, he was very talented and insightful.
"Congratulations to your Majesty on the gift of Qilin Talent!" Li Xian seemed to have seen the day when Li Dongyang paid homage to the Prime Minister.
The courtiers circulated this memorial and were amazed.
"Your Majesty, do you feel that the imperial court is too contemptuous of the Southeast Barbarians? Do you want to change its policy towards the Southeast Barbarians?" Yu Zijun asked.
"to not fix."
Zhu Qiyu stood up: "Since I have changed my name to the Ming Empire, I must show the domineering power of the Ming Dynasty!"
"If they don't die, where will they be placed in Dingkou, Daming?"
"Their existence has squeezed the space for Ming Dynasty to exist! Do they still need to exist?"
"After all, they occupied the anointed place. This is original sin!"
The topic changed again: "But, I recently read an article and found it interesting."
"It's an article written by Xie En, a native of Zhejiang. I have ordered it to be circulated throughout the world. You should all have seen it, right?"
Thanks to this article, Xie En's family was not only exempted from immigration, but Xie En was also admitted to the Military Aircraft Department.
"Your Majesty is talking about Xie En's theory of ethnicity?" Bai Gui was full of praise for this article, so he remembered it clearly.
"That's right, it was this piece of national theory that made me treat the Xie family so highly that I even admitted him to the military aircraft department as an exception."
Zhu Qiyu said: "The Ming Dynasty's strong suppression of the Southeast Yi has given rise to the concept of nation among the Southeast Yi."
"My lords, let me ask you, who are we?"
Of course they are Han Chinese.
"This is the nation."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Why do I force the people of the world to use Han surnames, speak Chinese, and wear Han clothes, and even continue to blur the concept of ethnicity, that is, to make all Ming people Han, and Han people are also Ming people."
Seeing that the courtiers were confused, this concept existed during the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Any questions?
"Li Xian, let me ask you, do the Han people and the Mongols have any blood feud?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
Li Xian was suddenly startled, and then he was horrified: "Your Majesty means that if we look at nationalities, then the Southeast Yi people have a blood feud with the Ming Dynasty. They have an inextricable personal feud. In the future, it will be more and more difficult to annex and occupy, unless they kill the last one." people."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Not only abroad, but also at home."
"Think about it, is the Ming Dynasty a single-ethnic country?"
"I don't see it in the southeast, but what about the country? Can I ignore it?"
Absolutely not!
China has been a multi-ethnic country since ancient times.
The Ming Dynasty, which seems to be unified now, is also a powder keg. As long as there are people who are willing to incite it, the Ming Dynasty will be at war.
"So, this thing is not necessary."
"We must not allow the people of the world to have any nationalistic opinions."
"There are only people from the Ming Dynasty and people outside the Ming Dynasty in this world."
"There are no Han people, Yao people, Zhuang people, or Miao people, there are only the same Han people, Ming! They are our own people!"
Zhu Qiyu has read the answer. Why did colonization fail in the end? It is because the nation has awakened.
So Zhu Qiyu killed them all, leaving only a single Ming Dynasty in this land.
Even if one day they split away, the roots will not change, and they will still sacrifice to their Chinese ancestors.
"Think again about what I did."
The courtiers suddenly realized that the emperor was so far-sighted.
"My lords, this is why I spent so much time and millions to immigrate abroad."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Li Xian, I ask you, why do I hold different views on the people of the three places? What are the reasons?"
Li Xian thought for a moment and his eyes lit up: "Your Majesty is using people."
"The tribes in Mobei have very strong cavalry, and they can produce the best cavalry. Moreover, the Ming people cannot adapt to the prairie, and they will be transformed into barbarians even if they go there. It is better to raise them and raise them as Han people. .”
"The natives of the southwest are all the strongest mountain soldiers. They made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty's conquests in Annan, Champa, Cambodia, Balni, and Luzon, so Your Majesty gives them special treatment."
"But the southeastern Yi natives have a lazy character, are difficult to become a strong soldier, and are not engaged in production. Some of them are even uncivilized. Therefore, His Majesty is unwilling to bear such a burden, so he issued the massacre order."
Zhu Qiyu laughed happily: "The one who knows me is Li Xian."
"That's right, I use human power!"
"It doesn't look at the region, it doesn't look at the ethnic group, it only looks at ability."
"So I use it differently for people in different regions, and the results are naturally different."
"This matter is considered the ninth matter."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Now that I have started talking about it, I will continue to elaborate."
"Speaking of using people."
"I was thinking, can I recruit the Western Yi people to serve as officials in the court?"
These words immediately caused an uproar, and Yao Kui immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, during the Yuan Dynasty, the Semu people occupied the court and were superior to others. After Taizu established the Ming Dynasty, the number of Semu talents decreased."
"I'm not against Semu people, but Semu people look different from us."
"The old minister feels that it is difficult to completely Chineseize, and the Ming people deeply hate the Semu people."
There are many descendants of Semu people in civil and military circles, including Chen You.
But their ancestors were second-class people in Dayuan, so the Han people hated them.
"Chineseization is not a problem."
Wang Fu said: "On the contrary, it will make the blood of the Han people impure. This is the biggest problem."
The courtiers quarreled, and most people thought it was inappropriate to use Semu as an official.
Zhu Qiyu was also thinking deeply. He wanted to use the talents of people. The industrialization process of the Ming Dynasty urgently needed the help of a large number of European talents.
The arrival of these talents will inevitably attract more Westerners to come in.
It was easy to control at first, but after a few decades, the Western Yi people and the Ming people lived together.
Hu Xi coughed lightly and signaled to be silent: "Your Majesty, why do you want to use Xiyi people?"
"I feel that the Xiyi people are more advanced than the Ming Dynasty in terms of machinery and shipbuilding, so I want to introduce a group of Xiyi people to the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Qiyu said bluntly.
Hu Xi laughed: "Your Majesty, craftsmen are just small craftsmen. There is no need to do it for officials, right?"
"Reward some money. If you are really talented, you should be given a small official position, so as not to rise above the court."
Before the emperor could speak, Li Xian said: "Old Master, what your Majesty is worried about is that a hundred years from now, if a large number of Western barbarians enter the Ming Dynasty and take root, they will attract more Western barbarians. At that time, should we accept it or not? Woolen cloth?"
Hu Xi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Chief Assistant, you are worrying in vain."
"They master advanced machinery and shipbuilding methods, how far behind are we?"
"Can't our people learn?"
"Once they learn it, give them a sum of money and send them back home."
"It doesn't take a hundred years. We learned it in ten years. We drove them away before they could come in in large numbers to suck blood."
Zhu Qiyu and Li Xian were stunned by these words, and then laughed loudly: "The old master still sees clearly."
"I'm still hesitating whether I should bring in a group of talents."
"The old lady told me to bring him in."
"Let them work for the country and then drive them away."
Seeing the emperor's serious look, Hu Bi chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so serious."
“The strength of Ming Dynasty lies in its all-encompassing nature.”
"No matter what kind of person you look like when you come in, after ten years, you will become Chinese and consider yourself a wise person from the bottom of your heart."
"This is the superiority of Han culture."
This is the self-confidence of Ming Dynasty, strong cultural self-confidence.
"Then let's settle this matter and discuss with Xiyi to recruit a group of talents to come to the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Qiyu said.
The courtiers did not object to this. It was a trivial matter. The emperor was frightened by the answer, but don't forget that this is the greatest era of the Han people, and this greatness will continue for another two hundred years.
"Have all the ministers read Liang Yue's military report? The losses must have been greater, and the money was indeed spent."
"But the harvest is not small. After Liang Yue swept away the two countries, he got gold, silver, jewelry and diamonds, worth nearly 60 million taels."
"Two small countries can make a lot of money."
The Ming Dynasty did not produce diamonds, but diamonds were donated by foreign countries in the Jin Dynasty, so officials were familiar with them and had them at home.
Zhu Qiyu had a smile on his face: "The golden belt that kills people and sets them on fire."
"Although subsequent occupation is too difficult, at least we made a profit this time, right?"
"Still distribute according to the old method."
"Years ago, we went to Hebei and Henan to recruit a group of people and sent them to Luzon and Boni as soon as possible to occupy the land."
"In areas with new immigrants, there is no need to recruit people. There is no recruitment in Lianghu and Shandong. Try to maintain local stability."
It is expected to collect 10 million.
But it is impossible to conquer them all at once, but to conquer them bit by bit, send them to training camps, and then conquer again, train again, and conquer again.
The imperial edict was passed down the day before yesterday, and Fujian has already organized people to go south.
"The memorial to Jiaozhi has been carried out on three fronts to attack Laos. Before the rainy season next year, Laos will be pacified."
Zhu Qiyu is not interested in Laos. It is a too poor place.
The soldiers are not fierce yet, let's build the road.
He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
"The tenth thing."
"It's a palace matter."
"I have been away from Beijing for more than two years, and many of the palace maidens have delayed their marriages due to their age."
"I will prepare an extra dowry. I won't be angry when I get to my husband's family."
"I know that you all have made arrangements to marry each other. Send a message to the court, saying that you have delayed your good life. You can blame me, but you cannot make them angry."
"Those who have served me in the palace are all meritorious. Your family is your natal family, and the palace is also their natal family."
"If anyone comes to the palace and complains, I can make the decision for them."
The courtier couldn't laugh or cry. He was supporting his daughter and scolding his father.
However, I was relieved that these pampered eldest ladies actually made the emperor very satisfied, which was a good thing.
"In the past few years, I have set up a girls' school in the palace."
"I invited some of my best friends to give lectures, and I also compiled a textbook."
"The maids have all studied in the girls' school, and occasionally I have given lectures to them."
"Do you know this matter?"
I really don’t know.
The affairs of the emperor in the inner palace are kept airtight. Unless the emperor wants to leak it, if even a tiny bit is leaked, everyone knows that the prison will investigate it every day, and the consequences will be disastrous.
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness in teaching me!" The courtier knelt on the ground.
I thought my daughter had fallen into a pit of fire, but who knew she had fallen into a mountain of gold? The emperor was teaching in person, which was a great support.
"I'm thinking about it."
“Men can read, why can’t women?”
Seeing the great reaction of the courtiers, Zhu Qiyu stopped and said, "I plan to set up a girls' school outside the palace. Just pick a private place and no men are allowed to enter."
The defense between men and women is really terrible, and Zhu Qiyu can't change it.
Changes in atmosphere must come slowly.
"Of course, this is open to the public."
"The daughters of officials' families all attend girls' schools in the palace, and I teach them myself."
"Yao Kui, let me ask you, when you were a child, did your father-in-law teach you more, or did your father-in-law teach you more?"
Zhu Qiyu asked when he saw that the courtiers were not interested.
Yao Kui was slightly startled: "When I was a child, my father was busy with official duties, and it was my mother who taught me the most."
"Li Xian, what about you?"
It must be the mother. How can the father have time to take care of his children?
"My lords, you are mostly taught by your mother, right?"
"When you grow up and enter the classroom, you are the one who is taught by the teacher, right?"
“The person who truly affects a person’s life is not his father, but his mother.”
"Do you, gentlemen, acknowledge what I say?"
Zhu Qiyu saw that the courtier was deep in thought and said: "So I think that women should go to school and learn well, so that they can educate their children well."
"I don't need to repeat the popular stories about Meng's mother moving three times and her mother-in-law getting tattoos, right?"
"If all the mothers in the world are Meng's mother and mother-in-law, how many talents will there be in the world?"
The courtiers were enlightened.
The emperor allowed women to study and teach their children to become talents. This was a great thing that affected thousands of families.
Ma Wensheng took the lead and said: "According to your majesty, if women study, they can better educate children. However, the people are poor and favor boys over girls. Boys can't study, let alone girls?"
"That's indeed the truth."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "It's one thing not to do it, but it's another thing not to know."
"What I mean is to ask the Ministry of Rites to publish some books so that children can understand them and at least know a few words. Girls should also know a few words."
"Education is a big plan, you can take your time."
"First educate the girls in the officials' families. Over time, won't everyone in the world be literate?"
The literacy rate in the Ming Dynasty was very high, and there was also a strong tendency to learn among the people.
"I have no objection." The courtiers also began to think deeply.
What thoughts would the emperor instill in his daughters when taught in the palace?
The smart people also understood that while they were plotting against the emperor, the emperor caught the next generation early. When these maids were released, they learned from the textbooks compiled by the emperor and continued the emperor's ideas.
After a few generations, the emperor would become a new sage, a figure like Confucius and Mencius.
The emperor's thoughts are really deep.
"The eleventh thing."
"It's the thin horse case."
Zhu Qiyu's face tightened again: "When I paid for the orphans, I was worried about local manipulation."
"In the end, instead of manipulating me, they made me look like a fool!"
"If it hadn't been for the case of the thin horse in the almshouse, I would still be in the dark!"
"Although the place has been punished, is the center blind?"
"Or can I be fooled by myself?"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly became angry.
The courtiers were kneeling on the ground. The sun had come out and was shining on the officials, but they could not feel the warmth.
After the emperor left Beijing, five major cases occurred, but until now, the reasons for the five major cases have not been found out.
Like the Shou Ma case, if Zhang Yong is found, how can we still investigate?
"Today is my first big court meeting since I came back. I will save some face for you."
"I will conduct my own self-examination when I get back and quickly close the five major cases for me."
"I want to see the truth!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "Orphans should all be sent to the capital. I will raise them, regardless of gender. I can afford to raise many girls."
"It is a culture that favors boys over girls and kills them among the people."
"After I issued a decree not to drown babies, these unscrupulous people actually started sending baby girls to almshouses and asked me to raise them. What did they think? Are their brains filled with shit?"
"For such unruly people who are born without raising children, the couples will be separated and emigrated to the south and the north."
Although the emperor was angry.
Ma Wensheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have a few words to say."
"explain!"
Ma Wensheng kowtowed and said bluntly: "Your Majesty can raise a baby for a while, but can he raise it for a lifetime?"
"Now the Ming Dynasty has plenty of money and food, but sooner or later there will be times when it won't."
"Do the favor of rice, rise the hatred of rice."
"If this kind of trend develops among the people, more abandoned babies will be brought to the center for your majesty to raise."
"Moreover, how will these people be resettled when they grow up? Should they be resettled as royal relatives? Or should they be resettled as ordinary civilians?"
"They have been raised by Your Majesty since they were young. They have no worries about food and clothing. Most of them have to cultivate a noble spirit. If such children are released among the people, wouldn't they feel superior to others and cause harm to the place?"
"You are not raising a group of children, you are raising a group of misfortunes."
"And in a few years, when the common people find out that there is such a good thing, they will definitely flock here, risking their heads and abandoning a large number of babies for you to raise."
"Because this is wealth, wealth that is easier to come by than studying hard and going to war."
Ma Wensheng said very profoundly.
Zhu Qiyu fell into deep thought. He originally wanted to use these people to go to the grassroots level and control the grassroots level for him.
But Ma Wensheng said that if he was raised in this way, he would be a corrupt person. On the contrary, it would bring disaster to the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Qiyu would not be able to rectify it.
"What's Ma Qing's advice?" Zhu Qiyu's anger stopped.
The courtiers looked at Ma Wensheng and raised their eyebrows. How awesome.
It calmed the emperor's anger and diverted the conflict. This was a good move.
Ma Wensheng collected his thoughts for a moment and spoke slowly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that I can support you, but I cannot make you rich. I have to let them know my origin and identity, and let them know that I have no chance of clinging to the imperial power."
"The most important thing is to let them know how to be grateful and grateful for the emperor's kindness. It is your majesty who raised them."
"If they want to climb up, they have to climb up from the mud little by little. It is harder than ordinary people. Only in this way can real talents be honed."
"A baby boy is easy to handle, but the baby girl will only be married off when she is raised."
Ma Wensheng felt that the baby girl was useless.
Even if the color is good, it will confuse the emperor. This is a taboo and should be guarded against.
It’s best to send them all to people’s homes and raise them as you like.
"That means I shouldn't raise them as humans. Their parents don't want them. If I treat them as humans, it will encourage people's greed."
"Let them come from the mud, go to the mud, and then grow out of the mud based on their ability. The road to promotion will be more difficult than ordinary people."
"That way you can be used by the court, right?"
Zhu Qiyu thought it was right. The edge of a sword comes from sharpening.
They were supposed to be dead, but they were raised by the emperor. If they had a way out, it would be more difficult than ordinary people to get ahead, otherwise the world would be in chaos.
Another point is that the cost of rice and grain is too high. After all, it is a huge expense to raise hundreds of thousands or even more than a million children.
You have to save money, just don't starve to death.
"That's what Weichen thinks." Ma Wensheng actually wanted to say that he should be raised in Nanjing. It would be too expensive to feed him in the north.
Seeing that the emperor's anger had subsided, the courtiers also began to discuss and find out the deficiencies. Isn't the court short of craftsmen? Let these children become craftsmen.
It's just that the baby girl can't be placed, but she can be raised to be a palace maid.
The problem is that nowadays, girls from prominent families are the maids.
"Baby girl, I have an idea."
Zhu Qiyu asked the courtiers to stand up and said: "The virgins presented by King Jingjiang were all studying medicine with Concubine Tan. They also accompanied me on my journey south."
"There is a great shortage of doctors among the people. I plan to let them all study medicine."
"Among the nobles, how many women are sick and cannot see a male doctor? The same is true among the people, and female doctors are even more scarce."
The courtiers still felt that the cost of support was too high.
When I grow up and study medicine, who pays for it?
"In addition to doctors, I'm wondering if women can do the enlightenment on the issue of education."
Zhu Qiyu didn't think too much and continued: "I have said before that the beauty of mother's enlightenment is that if these baby girls grow up, learn knowledge and then enlighten children all over the world, what do you think?"
In other words, hundreds of thousands of female primary school teachers will be trained.
"There is no need to mention the funds for support. Since you have collected it, you have to support it. Just try to reduce the cost as much as possible. Spend as little as possible."
If there had been no drought, Zhu Qiyu would not have said this.
People don't have enough food at home. It's a good thing that these children can eat a mouthful of food without starving to death. If they are still not satisfied, they will be killed directly.
"This matter has not been discussed yet. All the gentlemen should also think about it. Anyway, it will take a long time for these children to grow up, so think about it slowly."
"The number of orphans sent to Beijing will also be included in the Beijing inspection. The more children are sent, the worse the rating will be. Infants are not allowed to be killed, otherwise they will be executed directly."
In fact, Zhu Qiyu also wanted to train female guards and send them out to perform tasks.
But the cost is indeed too high, so we need to think carefully about it.
After talking about the almshouse.
Zhu Qiyu said: "Is the Tang Pozi in your hands no longer warm? Please change it and let Shangshi Bureau serve tea and move around. Don't freeze it."
Unconsciously, I have been talking for two hours.
"After court, the Shangshi Bureau has prepared meals. We will go back when we are finished."
Zhu Qiyu also took a few sips of tea, rested briefly for a few minutes, and then said: "The twelfth thing."
"The Criminal Department."
"Immediately introduce laws corresponding to all walks of life."
"The Ming Dynasty ruled the country by law, and the Great Edict of Taizu was the basic law. We continued to revise laws and regulations, and used this as the criterion."
"The central government and local officials all govern the country and local areas according to laws and regulations."
"When I was in Jiangnan, there were more and more lawyers. I thought it was good. It is a good thing to have laws to follow."
"Legalist thought must also adapt to this era and form the Ming Dynasty's laws for the new era, using this to govern the country, govern local areas, and manage and protect the people."
Yu Shiyue was shocked. He had indeed made the right bet.
He made the five major cases more and more confusing, which was obviously the situation the emperor wanted, so the emperor asked him to get another haircut, which was to increase his authority.
"Wei Chen starts preparations immediately." Yu Shiyue kowtowed.
The courtiers didn't understand. What was the underlying purpose of the emperor's sudden rule of law?
But Li Bing was the first to understand that this was for collecting taxes, protecting patents, restricting merchants, and even restricting gentry.
"The Secretary of the Zonglu Department is coming to Shuzhu, and I hope that the national treasury will donate money to the temple."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Xian: "Has the cabinet read this memorial?"
Li Xian left his post: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have already refuted it."
"Li Qing did the right thing."
Zhu Qiyu went to see Song Min, the chief minister of the Zonglu Division. Song Min trembled all over. He was a Jinshi in the second year of Jingtai and served in the military aircraft department for two years. The emperor valued him and went to the Zonglu Division.
"This humble minister is guilty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Song Min knelt on the ground.
"You're right too."
Zhu Qiyu asked him to get up: "Zong Lu Si is in charge of the world's religions, which is very important."
"Each religion must want to cling to the imperial power and make it the prominent religion of the day. This is human nature."
"but!"
"From now on, no funds from the state treasury or internal funds are allowed to be used to build temples. Unless there are special circumstances, it will not be allowed."
The courtiers looked slightly sideways, what did the emperor mean?
There were many monks in the capital, and the emperor had built many temples over the years, but suddenly he stopped building them. What was his intention?
"The Ministry of Punishment issued a law that stopped any intention of funding the construction of temples, no matter whether the former or the harem."
Zhu Qiyu said in a stern tone: "Religious believers are all outsiders. As long as you have faith, why should you covet worldly prosperity?"
The courtiers understood that the emperor was a warning to future generations, especially the harem. There was already a trend of donating temples in the harem, and this trend should not be allowed to rise.
"but."
Zhu Qiyu changed the topic: "It's not that I want to excommunicate a certain religion, it's just that the royal family does not donate temples. If the ministers in the court are willing to donate temples, they can donate in their own name. I have no objection."
"Moreover, whether temples of various religions should be built or built, I support more temple repairs, but I think the money should come from the believers."
"Since you have faith, you should be pious, pay for it when it's time, and build it when it's time. When the time comes, let me write the inscription on the monument, and I will be extremely happy."
It’s clear that the emperor won’t pay, but if you are willing to pay, I will still support it.
Feng Xiao rolled his eyes, you are really stingy.
But is this a trend? Should he donate money to the temple?
"But if the temples planned by the central government continue to be built, the money will still be paid. If they are planned in the future, the central government will not pay."
“Also, the cultivation of the fields by monks of all religions is cancelled, everything is cancelled.”
"If the imperial edict is passed down, some will be presented by themselves, and those who don't have it will be registered. Don't force me to use the knife. By then, not just one or two will die."
Zhu Qiyu is going to take action against Seng Tian.
The courtiers wanted to persuade him. Seeing the emperor's behavior, he was determined to move. After all the money in Jiangnan, it was time to dig into the temple's money.
The temples in Beizhili have long been gouged out by the black ice platform.
The emperor offended people everywhere, but he was probably also the richest emperor.
"From now on, disaster relief in various places cannot rely solely on the central government."
"We need to rely on the strength of people all over the world to provide relief together."
"Every sect in the world is a sect that encourages people to do good, so they should do their part, donate money, and do their best. Don't just sit back and recite sutras all day long. In this way, you will not be able to reach the highest level of cultivation. It is also obvious that You can’t reach the Buddha, Tao, and Allah.”
"Help the people more and do more good deeds. This is the true meaning."
"Those monks and monks who have no money should go to the disaster area to help and give a little effort. It will be more useful than reciting the sutra 10,000 times!"
The emperor's words were too damaging.
This is to torture believers of all religions to death.
"Businessmen all over the world should develop the good habit of being kind in their hearts. When there is a disaster in the world, they should all lend a helping hand."
You can just say that you can share it.
The courtiers are all crazy, the believers and merchants are all out, how can the gentry not come out?
It is equivalent to saying that when a disaster occurs in a local area, let all religions and merchants come out. Because your teachings make people do good deeds, it is your turn. If you don't do good deeds, why don't you believe it?
The emperor was particularly generous in some places, and stingy in other places.
Sometimes it's very damaging.
After all this hard work, there must be many monks who have returned to secular life.
"Also, the scriptures of each sect must maintain the rule of the imperial court. If the scriptures contain anti-Ming ideas, they will be deleted and burned, the temples will be closed, and the monks and Taoists will be executed!"
"The scriptures must be in Chinese, and scriptures in other languages must be translated. You are not allowed to study scriptures in other languages."
"All scriptures must have maps of the Ming Dynasty..."
"Song Min, please check and fill in the specific gaps. Sects can exist, but the meaning of their existence is to maintain the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, there is no need to exist."
The emperor made this clear, that major changes were to be made, and all religions had to be changed.
The Chinese section is aimed at Lamaism.
"Of course, the court does not set any restrictions on donating temples. If you have money, you can build more. If you don't have money, you can build less. If I can't get the money, I can't do anything. I will find a way to do it myself."
Zhu Qiyu added another sentence: "Zong Lu Division is a major event. Song Min, as Secretary General, must do a good job."
"Your Majesty taught you a lesson."
Song Min was sweating coldly: "Weichen is proficient in six languages and has read all the scriptures of each religion. All the master-level figures of each religion serve in the Zonglu Department and participate in the compilation of new scriptures."
Zhu Qiyu is still relieved about this.
"Buddhist things brought back from India should be sealed in pagodas, not just in one place. They can be stored in temples across the country."
Halfway through the words, Hu Hui had a different opinion: "Your Majesty, I have read Huihui scriptures and there is only one place in the holy city."
"I feel that the holy city of Buddhism should be the capital, not another place."
Li Xian objected again: "If monks from all over the world come to the capital for pilgrimage, the population of the capital will increase, which will be a burden to the capital, not a good thing."
"It's better to choose a place to build a holy city of Buddhism and let people go there for pilgrimage."
There are many people supporting Li Xian.
The capital cannot have too many people, otherwise it will be unsafe.
"Where should we choose to build the city?" Zhu Qiyu thought of the Northeast. The Northeast has grain, sea, and plains, so construction is easy.
The most important thing is that those who go to the cold and far away are the true believers, and those who don’t go are all fake.
"I think Chang'an is suitable." Li Xian thinks Guanzhong is safer.
Zhu Qiyu immediately objected: "Chang'an can't do it. Chang'an's ecology is fragile. Plus so many monks and monks go to Chang'an, Chang'an will be even more chaotic."
"But Chang'an is located in the center of Guanzhong, and is guarded by Xiongguan." Li Xian considered safety.
"Li Qing, who would send troops to attack the Buddhist Holy Land? Are you thinking too much?" Zhu Qiyu pointed at him.
What does being attacked have to do with you?
Destroying the Buddha will also arouse the hatred of Buddhism. When the time comes, if you build a Buddha, won't the benefits come?
"Then build it in Hebei." Li Xian thought it was right.
"If it doesn't work in Hebei, let's build it in Liaoning."
Zhu Qiyu said: "There is sufficient food in the coastal waters of Liaoning. Monks from the places where we meet can go on pilgrimage by boat without having to travel tens of thousands of miles."
"The Pavilion Ministry just picks a place, builds a city, and lets the monks from all over the world go on pilgrimage."
He didn't listen to advice and decided directly.
The courtiers came to their senses and realized that it was the emperor who was bad for letting people go so far away for pilgrimage. Those who didn't go would have problems. This was an excuse for the court to make money next time.
Zhu Qiyu also wanted to build a city of all nations.
Make replicas of the captured capitals and store the treasures plundered by various countries.
Now is not the time. He has already asked people to draw maps of the burned capital for future imitation.
"Who will pay for the construction of cities and temples?" Geng Jiuchou felt that the money from the treasury should not be used.
"The household department is out, are you still trying to use my internal funds?"
Zhu Qiyu was not angry, and then he had an idea: "Let the monks from all over the world come out. This is the holy city of Buddhism. Monks and laymen from all over the world can donate a dime each to build it. Don't point at the center to pay for everything. The center has so much money." Is it easy to harvest?"
It’s up to you!
Geng Jiuchou praised him: "According to your Majesty's wishes."
"In the future, they have to make money for things like this by themselves."
"It's not a matter of national importance. Don't always think of asking me to pay. My money doesn't come from the strong wind."
"Back to Lamaism."
"As of the twelfth year of Jingtai, 1,700 lamaseries had been built in Mobei."
"The effect is remarkable."
Zhu Qiyu said: "I am thinking, can Buddhism and Taoism be divided into a branch, imitating Lamaism, like their teachings?"
He was dissatisfied with the lama and refused to be Chinese, so he put two loach in letting them roll up and forced Lama to teach Chinese.
"Mobei built nearly a thousand Buddhism and Taoism, but there are very few believers."
"It should be paid attention to, the teachings have to adapt to the environment, can you let your money be drifted?"
Zhu Qiyu said: "Song Yan, this incident is also given to you. I will see the articles of association before the year, and I will implement it after the year. I will give you two years. You only ask you. "
"Wechen will make His Majesty satisfied." Song Yan felt that it was not.
"Get up, in the future, the Pavilion must be flexible and move your brains."
Zhu Qiyu said: "When it comes to Lama religion, you have to talk about Ushuan."
"In the future, we must recruit Buddhist soldiers."
"The rotation in the palace must also recruit Buddhas to go down the mountain."
"To strengthen the communication between Usli and the Mainland and meet each other to meet each other, can you be familiar with each other?"
"Guizhou was settled. After the year of Sichuan, he was split. He Wenyuan returned to Beijing to enter the cabinet.
"Sichuan Province has to expand west, and then expand the original area with such large area."
This is a matter of negotiation, no need to say.
Yao Yao voiced: "Your Majesty, now is not a good opportunity to fight, Dusi has withdrawn the Division, and if he wants to expand again, I am afraid to fight."
"It's okay to fight, Han Yong and Nianfu can fight."
"Even if it is hit, it is a small hit, expand the power, swallow all the essence parts in the eastern part of Usma."
"Then send officials to Usyu to manage affairs."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Practicing more soldiers at the foot of the mountain and entered Tibet within two years."
The Usli border has been practiced for a few years, and Han Yong can use it.
"Let's talk about the thirteenth."
Zhu Qiyu said: "You have to talk about the province of the frontier."
"Let's talk about Guizhou first, Guizhou has just been flattened. We must send multiple slaves to build the road and build all the roads. Do not care about the death of the slaves.
"Wang Wei went to play Shu Shu, saying that Indian countries are willing to do slave trade.
"Not only India, but the southeast countries are selling slaves. Don't look at them with Daming. In fact, they are doing trade with Daming."
"There is an oil collection plant."
"If the people are not enough, they will send a lot of slaves to dig. Regardless of whether the slaves live and die, they must have a lot of asphalt and quickly repair the asphalt road."
"Yao Yan, still presided over, more slaves passed by, and used to use it."
Yao Yan took a breath, is this speed?
Each oil collection plant died of more than 100,000 slaves a year and felt slow.
"Borneo discovered oil, and sent someone to dig it, first transported to the toe, and it can be used for the two provinces."
"Send someone to buy it again, and there will be oil when you eat a big food, let them transport it to Da Ming."
"The frontier should quickly cultivate asphalt roads, especially the benefits. With the asphalt road, the rainy season cannot stop the road of Daming's troops."
"The road must be maintained, and those who don't pay for it are not allowed to go up.
The road is the center of control of the center, and it must not be lost.
In the future, the more you repair. The more roads, the stronger the center control.
"Guangxi and Jiao Ji, Jiao Jiao and Xinyizhou, Yunnan and Jiaozhong. These roads must be quickly opened and thorough. There are many ways to communicate with each other. The river road must also be repaired. "
After talking about the place of benefits.
"When it comes to Gansu, you have to talk about Chen You."
Zhu Qiyu glanced around: "Chen You won Turpan. This is merit. People are gone. I also rewarded the marquis.
"If there is no southeast risk, it has already won Turpan, and it has even defeated Dongchahetai Khanate."
"Now Kou Shen has done a good job in Gansu, fights with one hand, trade with each other, and barely maintain peace, good."
"Ningxia too, Yuan Jie did well."
"The Northwest War is constantly. This is no way. It is a war provoked by Daming. Nowadays, there are no soldiers."
"But construction cannot be stopped."
"Kou Shen is sparse, Hami has almost completed the reconstruction, and I plan to move tens of thousands of people."
"Still the recruitment, move half of the eldest man, and half soldiers and half the people."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Gansu is narrow and difficult to govern, but this is the main road of the Western Regions. From next year, you must first repair the asphalt road, and you must repair it."
"Rehe has been built, and the asphalt road has been repaired."
"Although the border was hit by the Hu people, it was not very climate, but was beaten by Rehebing."
"However, the eastward movement of Waka must prevent the Wiqian attacking the Rehe, and to do a good job of defense."
The province of Rehe is a province that rises from the ground.
It took four years to build.
It ’s just no danger. In the past, there were no strong enemies on the grassland, and no one could break the defense of the Rehe. Now that the Waji is back, it is dangerous.
"Liu Yong swallowed the Chechen Ministry and did a good job. He recruited soldiers from the Chechen Department and went to the grassland to plunder on the grassland."
Zhu Qiyu said: "The Rehe is defensive, and the Mongolian Division must be built."
"The entire land in Mobe, I want it!"
In the past, the courtiers felt that the emperor was crazy. What are the use of these broken grounds, you have to give up sooner or later.
Now I feel really fragrant.
Can you grow new crops such as corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, etc. Is it not fragrant?
"When it comes to Liaoning, you have to say that the Anshan Iron Factory is. I feel that people are not enough. I will increase their efforts to mining.
"Still that sentence, if people are not enough, they use slaves and use slaves to play in death.
Zhu Qiyu said: "Iron smelting technology, give me non -stop re -innovation, I am not satisfied with the current iron, far from achieving my goal."
"Wu Liangha was driven away. Jilin hurriedly built and reclaimed the land. He wanted a large granary to thoroughly stabilize the rear granary."
"The large -scale immigrants of Heilongjiang do not have to worry. First, a little bit of immigrants can pass by.
"It's all fighting everywhere, you need to fight anywhere."
"Cross the Mongolian Division, contact the savage in the north, let them attach them, and then draw."
To say, it is soldiers.
It was negotiated for three hours.
Zhu Qiyu also felt very tired. After the DPRK meeting, the courtiers entered the partial palace to eat, and he also returned to Qianqing Palace for dinner.
"Demonstrate the palace, hold a family banquet in the evening."
Just back to the palace, Zhu Qiyu was too busy.
All officials have to see each other alone and listen to the details of the official officials of the gates.
In this way, we can connect everything that happened more than two years.
The harem is equally important.
In the evening, Queen Mother Sun was sick because of sadness and did not come. The Empress Dowager Wu came joyfully.
Empress Tang led the concubines of the palace and met together.
The eldest son Zhu Jianqi is four years old this year.
Like a decent worship.
In this year, he already has seventeen sons, three daughters.
Nai mother and son held the child and served by.
"Today is a family banquet. There are not so many rules. Sit down." Zhu Qiyu was not very serious.
The Queen of the Tang Queen was full of peach blossoms. She was already the mother of two sons, and Zhu Jianqi's prince was also stable.
After some greetings, Zhu Qiyu raised the glass: "Queen, you have handled the harem in the past two years, and you have worked hard."
"His Majesty's blessing, Chen Ye didn't feel tired." Empress Tang smiled on his face.
"You are also working hard. I am not in Beijing. You also follow this home, and you are hard." Zhu Qiyu raised his toasting concubine.
After three rounds of drinking.
"I want to say a few words."
Zhu Qiyu put down the chopsticks, and all concubines also followed the chopsticks: "Gu'an is old, and I am ready to prepare for you in the first month."
"My daughter is instructed by the father and emperor."
Gu'an is much more honest, but the eyebrows are rusty.
"Gu'an is sensible."
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "You are a elder sister, my younger brothers and sisters need you to take care."
"I don't plan to give you the princess's house."
As soon as she heard this, Gu An sank, she wanted to go out for a long time, no matter what she horses, she just wanted to live her little life, and she didn't want to look at other people's faces.
"There are many rules in the princess's house. I don't want my daughter to be restrained when I leave the palace."
Gu An was slightly relieved, but she obviously felt that the emperor did not love her.
"Fang Ying's family is rich, and I asked him to built a house for your two. This is the Fang family's family.
"And what about the money of building the princess's house and make dowry for you. When you arrive at your own home, how can you control it?"
Can it still be like this?
The concubine was surprised, and was a bit unclear. Does the emperor hate Gu'an or love Gu'an even more?
