It’s not that Zhang Haiping doesn’t value the navy.
Li Tianbao attacked the southeast coast and marched into Nanjing, causing great influence. He saw it with his own eyes. It’s just that the navy is also a navy.
Deploy the navy to the Yellow River and become the inland navy, taking the lead first.
Isn’t that great?
It can also save a lot of military expenses.
But since Wu Nian disagreed, he said nothing more.
Although Wu Nian is said to be a hands-off shopkeeper, he cannot completely ignore things. For example, the military matters discussed this time.
As for the rectification of officialdom, the transportation of grain and grass, and other matters.
Wu Nian didn't ask questions at all.
but. Wu Yu is here today. Wu Nian asked about internal affairs in passing.
"Reporting to Your Majesty. At present, the imperial court has sent out prefects and county magistrates to various places. These officials have been accumulated by the Han Dynasty for many years. I have great confidence in them. However, rectifying the officialdom does not happen overnight. It will take at least a year and a half. It will be effective only if it is carried out.”
"I believe it. As long as the Han Dynasty can be kind to its people and resist foreign enemies, no one will remember Chu in a few years."
Liu Zhixing said with a look on his brows.
"Yeah." Wu Nian smiled and nodded.
Who says it isn't? People. It feels so sharp. Are you living a good life or not? The people have a clear conscience.
As long as you win the hearts and minds of the people, your country will be stable.
The monarch and his ministers talked for a long time. Only then did Liu Zhixing remember something. He bowed his hands to Wu Nian and said, "Your Majesty. There are too many eunuchs and maids of Chu captured by the soldiers."
"I ask your majesty to allow me to reduce the number of troops. Let some eunuchs and maids go home."
"How many people are there?" Wu Nian asked casually, not very concerned about this matter.
But Liu Zhixing asked the right question. No matter what the maids in this palace look like or whether they are old and lustful, they are all theoretically the king's women.
The cabinet cannot handle matters privately. You must ask the king.
"There are more than 20,000 people." Liu Zhixing replied.
"So many?" Wu Nian's eyes widened slightly. Didn’t I say that Xiong Wuwo took away half of the people? Why are there still 20,000 people?
Including the maids and eunuchs he brought from Liaodong, wouldn't there be 30,000 to 40,000 people?
There are only ten thousand rooms in the Forbidden City.
It is equivalent to raising 30,000 to 40,000 domestic slaves to serve his family.
These 30,000 to 40,000 people can support an elite warrior force of 10,000 households.
After Wu Nian thought for a moment, he shook his head and said: "Be cautious about eunuchs. These are poor people. Even if they go back to their hometown, they may starve to death because they have no livelihood. Or they may be looked down upon. Stay in the palace , and still have a bite to eat.”
"As for the palace ladies, you also send someone to ask their opinions. Those who are willing to leave the palace, let them go. Those who are unwilling can stay."
Him.
It seems rather lustful. But one person cannot take care of it.
Thirty to forty thousand eunuchs and maids. There must be at least fifteen thousand maids. Whether he can survive fifteen thousand days is a question.
Moreover. Ordinary palace maids are actually not good-looking.
Those who are good-looking are often not ordinary palace maids. For example, there were many beauties in the palace of Goguryeo.
Wu Nian was blessed with many beauties, and now they are all concubines, arranged by Liu Xiang to live in them. For some people, Wu Nian slept with them once. Nowadays, you may not be able to call people by their names when you meet them.
Anyway. Ordinary palace maids really don’t need that much.
But so be it.
Don't put it indiscriminately. You have to consider whether the palace maid wants to go home. What if they have no family anymore? What if they starve to death outside?
You have to ask their opinions.
It's like the Buddhist saying of releasing animals.
Some people release wild animals indiscriminately. For example, put saltwater fish into fresh water.
That is killing, not releasing.
For the lives of the Han people.
Wu Nian cared very much.
"Yes." Liu Zhixing understood and answered.
All that needs to be said has been said. Wu Nian raised his head and asked Liu Zhixing: "Chief Assistant, are you ready for my enthronement ceremony?"
"Ready."
Liu Zhixing replied calmly.
"Okay. I will ascend the throne tomorrow." Wu Nian refreshed and nodded.
"Yes." Liu Zhixing bowed.
"Congratulations, father."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Prince Wu Yu and the cabinet ministers all bowed and congratulated.
Wu Nian smiled and nodded. immediately. Wu Nian got up and left the Wenhua Palace, leaving Wu Yu and the cabinet ministers to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to handle court affairs.
The prince observed.
Liu Zhixing spoke easily and prepared very quickly. But the emperor's ascension to the throne is a very, very complicated matter.
before. When Wu Nian ascended the throne as King of Han, he paid more attention to rituals.
We officially founded the country and became king, we cannot be a grass-roots team. You still have to spend money where it should be spent, and such an occasion must have a sense of ceremony.
Of course, it is the same this time when he ascends the throne, that is, the throne of emperor.
Etiquette and other things are already very complicated. Personnel appointments are even more cumbersome.
To the dead, to the living.
To the dead.
They are the ancestors of Wu Nian. This is easy to handle. Originally, when Wu Nian became king, he had already been granted the title of King of Han.
Now it's enough to posthumously be named the late emperor.
Then comes the title of king.
Needless to say, Prince Wu Yu was promoted from Crown Prince to Crown Prince.
The eldest son Wu Min was also promoted from Qihou to Qiwang. The rest of the disciples, except Wu Cheng, the tenth son of the emperor who was born in Kyogoku Yuki, are scheduled to be the king of Ryukyu.
Others must be given king titles. The older one went out to live in the palace, while the younger one stayed in the palace.
There are also famous generals. Taking control of Hebei this time is a personal achievement. Enter the previous work again.
For example, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Tieniu and other old brothers were brothers when they were really poor.
Zhao Mancheng, Li Yunchong, Cui Wushuang and other famous generals from Goguryeo.
This Conglong Gong must be clarified one by one. It certainly cannot be completely fair, but it must be relatively fair.
As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
The guys followed the emperor and kept their heads in their waistbands.
Now, of course, there is a lot of money to be made.
Wu Nian is also willing to become rich and powerful together with his brothers.
This is important.
To put it harshly. He died after Wu Nian. These heroes and generals will be buried with him in his cemetery.
The tablets may also be placed together in the Ancestral Temple.
Later generations wrote history books.
It also writes about Emperor Jianwu and the heroes and generals of the Jianwu Dynasty.
all in all. Things are many and complicated. Liu Zhixing can get it done quickly, he is really a talent.
That night. Wu Nian lived in Kunning Palace and slept with Liu Xiang.
After lying down, Wu Nian soon felt sleepy and planned to sleep. Liu Xiang couldn't sleep, so she turned around, lay on Wu Nian's chest, and said, "Brother, I'm a little nervous."
"Why are you nervous? Aren't you a queen? You just become a queen now."
Wu Nian put his arm around her waist and said.
"It's different. How can a queen and a queen be the same?"
Liu Xiang shook his head and said.
"Same." Wu Nian insisted.
soon. Wu Nian closed his eyes and fell asleep. Liu Xiang tossed and turned, and finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.
