The remaining two choices are in the middle, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Although Liaodong is bitter, it is like Yunnan. It is a borderland, bordering Mongolia and Korea. There are many opportunities to accumulate meritorious service, and there may not be a chance to earn a title for your children and grandchildren.
In the land of abundance in Sichuan, it is good to have fun, but the only way to achieve merit is probably to send troops to help suppress the rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou. Merits are accumulated too slowly, and they must be controlled by others.
Zhu Biao quietly waited for He Wenhui's decision. Although he was generously given four provinces to choose from, in fact he could only choose two places, Sichuan or Liaodong. No matter how he chose, these two places were indeed needed. The Zhu family's iron man went to take charge.
He Wenhui bowed and said: "General, please go to Liaodong to control this place for the imperial court, and make sure it is completely integrated into our Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Biao was not surprised: "But, Naha has already sent a letter of surrender. Brother, let's leave immediately after Zhang Cundao comes to take over. After brother takes office, I will have my own arrangements in Goryeo. Don't pay attention to it for the time being, especially Mr. We must control the Mongolian Jurchen tribe in Liaodong."
After explaining some key points to He Wenhui in detail, some things were difficult to say to outsiders, but there was no need to worry about his own family. He Wenhui finally looked at his Highness the Crown Prince in horror.
After he retreated, Zhu Biao got up and walked to Jinshen Palace. Liu Jin took the opportunity to ask the little eunuch on the roadside a few words, then quickly caught up with him, calmed his breath and whispered: "Sir, Zhang Cundao has entered the capital and is on his way to the capital." The Governor's Office has been declaring his duties, and he should be heading to the Ministry of War at this moment."
Zhu Biao nodded slightly and didn't say anything. Most of the governors in the governor's office were Huaixi warriors. Zhang Cundao must have felt the power, just to let him know that it is not easy to live in the capital, even if he has reached the second level.
After entering the palace, it was rare that he did not see his father who was reviewing the memorial. Comrade Zhu Biao was in front of the Daming Mountains and Rivers Map in the side hall. Zhu Biao stepped forward and saw that there was a new map, Liaodong and Yunnan. Included in it.
"Father."
"He must have chosen Liaodong."
"There is no sage better than my father."
Lao Zhu has now become immune to this level of flattery from his son: "Then let Ma Er go to Sichuan."
The so-called Ma'er is Zhu Biao's other sworn brother, Xu Sima. It can also be seen from the title that this one is even more loved by Lao Zhu. In the past, he was a personal guard and served as an attendant.
My father had more than twenty adopted sons in the past, and the two closest and most loved ones were Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong, and the second most beloved was Mu Ying and Xu Sima.
He is now in charge of Kaifeng Mansion. He is fond of literature and has a humble nature. He has won the hearts of many people when he cares about the soldiers. In Kaifeng, he is especially helpful to the government. He retires in his spare time. The whole room is as desolate as a humble one. Although his military achievements are not as good as those of the generals, he is still popular among the people. Called virtuous.
It is undoubtedly the most reassuring for people like this to go to Sichuan, and there is no need to worry about whether they will conflict with Mingsheng. If Yunnan and Guizhou are to be stable, Sichuan is the top priority.
"Naha has no intention of fighting anymore. You have made arrangements for Gao Li."
"Goryeo was surrounded by civil strife and wars were raging across the land. The royal family members died one after another, aristocratic families fought for power, the king's bloodline was doubtful and his position was unstable, and the border generals gathered their troops to respect themselves. The country fell within one or two years."
"Then let them cause chaos. The barbarian country, I don't know what to say, actually wants to expand the territory of Liaodong."
The father and son returned to the main hall and sat down, chatting about trivial matters and drinking a cup of tea. Then they began to sit down and review the memorials. Although a cabinet was established and there were several bachelors, it was still just a decoration.
Lao Zhu is now in the prime of life and has his son helping to share the burden. He does not want to share power with outsiders. In a few years, he will have to delegate tasks.
Zhu Biao opened the memorial, and the Ministry of Rites reported: "There used to be 350 grape winemakers in the land of Zhaori in Xifan, and the chiefs of them made divinations and collected the wines. , begging to be bathed in God’s grace.”
Wine is not a rare thing in the Central Plains. It first appeared when Zhang Qian was on his mission to the Western Regions during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The quantity was small but precious. By the time of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, did not like to drink wine, but he only loved wine. , and even wrote an edict to treat all ministers together.
As the saying goes, what is good at the top must be good at the bottom. This wine has flourished since then, flourished in the Tang Dynasty and declined in the Song Dynasty. It was revived in the Yuan Dynasty. It was stipulated that wine must be used to worship the Ancestral Temple, and vineyards were also opened in Shanxi, Jiangsu and other places.
Until now, because Lao Zhu didn't like this wine, he changed the vineyards in various places to farmland in the first year of Hongwu and asked his father if he wanted to keep this wine.
After receiving the reply, he wrote: "Food and clothing are very expensive. If you ask for it if you have it very much, there will be endless harm. In the past, the envoys who made wine in the Yuan Dynasty have been on the road one after another. It is too laborious for the people, so it is not appropriate to do it. Moreover, my nature is not good." I like to drink, but China has its own rice for brewing, so why use it to labor the people? So the messenger never came back, and the chief was given elegant clothes and sent back."
In the reply, the characters "朕" are slightly taller and larger, and are written with a cinnabar pen to show that he wrote the narrative on behalf of his father. The officials below will know at a glance that this is a memorial approved by the prince.
Just as he was about to read the next one, he saw Liu Jin taking two memorials from the Royal Eucalyptus and sending them to him in a low voice: "Your Highness, please take a look."
Zhu Biao took it, and it was the Ministry of Works' report that "in memory of the common people in the capital, there are many widowers, widowers, orphans, invalids, and no one to rely on, and the old almshouse is not large enough to accommodate them, so we were ordered to build 260 houses in an open space in Longjiang." Everything that has been done has been completed now, and I will return my orders to the Supreme Being."
As early as the first year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu ordered the government to build almshouses in Beijing and Guangzhou for the benefit of widows, orphans, and disabled people who were unable to support themselves. Last year, he ordered all counties and counties to set up orphanages for the elderly to adopt people who were lonely, disabled, and unable to support themselves. The living.
This is an act of great kindness. Although it cannot save everyone in the world, there are also corrupt officials who take advantage of this to be greedy. However, saving one person is a meritorious deed, and the whole court respects the voice of the people.
I only read the following reply: "This spring the rain and snow have not stopped for ten days, and the Qi of Yan Ning is cutting to the bones. I think about the cold days in the past. At this time, it is very difficult to have only food and clothing. Now I live in the ninth level, wearing fur clothes and silk, and I still feel cold. If there are old people in the world who are alone, with no clothes to cover their bodies, and no enough food to eat, I will order all officials in the world to provide them with food to help them with fuel."
Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh: "My father is kind and loving to the people. He does not abandon the orphans, widows and disabled people. If the officials at the top and bottom can understand this heart, it will be a great kindness to show mercy to the weak people."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Yangjiyuan, Luzeyuan, and Huimin Pharmacy have been promoted to the counties for more than a year. We sent the pro-military captain's office to secretly inspect them. The results were mediocre, that is, in our Things are going well under my nose, I hope the officials and gentry will show mercy to the common people... Humph."
His father's tone was calm, but Zhu Biao seemed to have faintly smelled the smell of blood, which meant that these were troubled times, and Lao Zhu had not yet taken action, otherwise there would be another round of purges.
It seems that the Imperial College has to expand its enrollment. It does not require talented people, as long as they can perform their duties step by step. Otherwise, the gap of local officials will not be closed.
Zhu Biao opened another copy, and it was from the Qintian Supervisor that "Taiyin invaded the left corner of Xuanyuan." This was not a good omen, but it was not a big deal, especially since his father had never believed in this.
I only saw the official reply written by the emperor: "It is conveyed to the ministers and workers of the province that Taiyin invaded Xuanyuan and the minister Zhanyun was deposed. The secretary should inform the provincial health officials to know about it. Anyone who has a bad government in official affairs should quickly change it in order to achieve self-reliance." install."
Zhu Biao knew clearly in his heart that it seemed that more than 500 heads fell to the ground in Liyang and nearly a thousand people were exiled to Yunnan, Guizhou and Liaodong, but they still could not completely alleviate Lao Zhu's anger. This was to make Hu Weiyong realize what he had done and go too far. Hand over all corrupt officials.
It turned out that he was waiting here. Zhu Biao was still thinking about how he was lifted up high and fell gently. You must know that in the final analysis, Liyang Eucalyptus was the backing and courage of Hu Weiyong, who gave Pan Fu and other local gentry the courage to do this. Excessive search for people's wealth and people's cream.
Of course, they were not good people originally, but no one in the government had been so blatant in the past. But as they have weapons and murderous intentions, they naturally have to use them if they have a backer.
But no matter what, it is not in line with Lao Zhu's temperament to just let things go. I originally thought that my father planned to settle Hu Weiyong's old and new clothes together, but it turned out that he still couldn't hold back. Sure enough, after enduring the anger for a while, the more he thought about it, More and more angry.
