Chapter 47: Abolition of the hall, taking hostages, and opening the imperial examination
It was Luo Fangbo who made the suggestion first.
In fact, this was before the founding of Lanfang Kingdom.
Luo Fangbo requested it.
After all, Lanfang is a small country and its people are weak.
If "we, the Qing Dynasty" really send troops to Lanfang, it is really possible to own a province in West Borneo.
And Luo Fangbo is also a practical person.
A person who can lead his people to overcome obstacles in a foreign land to find a place where they can make their own decisions.
Naturally, he is not an ordinary person.
The reason why he was happy to accept the non-official Grand Duke Lanfang.
It was because Luo Fangbo did not want to become the lord of a foreign vassal, but wanted to gain a certain status in the Ming court.
With his title and his protection, the Luo family of Jiaying Prefecture will definitely become a wealthy family in the new dynasty in the future.
Isn't this better than becoming the lord of a foreign vassal?
"The first thing to deal with is the Liu family. The influence of the Lanfang Liu family must be completely eradicated! The entire Liu family's property will be confiscated, and the direct clan members will be demoted to mining slaves. Only in this way can we kill one person and serve as a warning to others!"
Zhu Daohua nodded when he heard this.
It's a combination of kindness and power.
I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs running away.
Which founding emperor in history did not have unparalleled authority?
As the leader of the party.
Always make your subordinates respect and praise you.
So this Liu family must deal with it.
Only in this way can the Lanfang clan be frightened.
"In addition, the other accomplices who followed the Liu family in raising troops cannot be easily spared. Part of their territory must be confiscated, and they must deal with the elders who made the decision to follow the army and replace them with a new batch of leaders of each clan!"
Luo Fangbo said.
Zhu Daohua frowned slightly.
Seize some territory, let the clan elders who make decisions step down, and replace them with a new generation of successors.
This means that there is punishment but there is no extermination.
It's still the combination of kindness and power.
"Each clan must send its younger generation to study at Daohua University or the Army and Navy Academy to serve as students for the King!"
Um.
This is also a good note.
The children of the Lanfang tribe came to school, not only as hostages, but also to train various talents to serve as rebel reserve teams.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Seeing Zhu Daohua nodded frequently.
Luo Fangbo then said to the king: "Since Lanfang is to be established as a province, the clans of each clan must be disbanded. In the future, there will not be any armed forces from the separatist parties in each place. In addition, the territory in each place cannot be handed over to the direct jurisdiction of the Lanfang clans. Instead, we need to hold imperial examinations and recruit outstanding people with the Lanfang surname to serve as magistrates and magistrates in various places, and appoint officials to manage them in the name of the imperial court."
“At the same time, the minerals, fields, ports, etc. in West Borneo must be registered and the output must be determined for taxation. All reclaimed land must pay land tax, and newly reclaimed land must also be registered to determine the land. Lord, so that we can pay taxes together!”
"There is also the province of Lan Fang. It should be divided into two levels: prefectural and county levels, appoint officials, collect taxes and grain, and recruit soldiers and husbands."
Zhu Daohua nodded upon hearing this.
Luo Fangbo’s suggestions are all good.
But the final decision rests with him.
Because he did not control Lanfang Country by relying on the Lanfang family.
This is Lanfang's world.
He defeated it with his powerful soldiers.
So Lan Fang’s rules.
He can only be allowed to stand alone.
As for Luo Fangbo and others.
Only the right to make suggestions.
Therefore, he did not make a decision immediately.
Instead, he waved his hand and interrupted Luo Fangbo.
"Come here first and let the representatives of the Lanfang clan kneeling outside come in."
........
"Greetings to your Majesty, the ordinary people have been deceived by the Liu family and have gone astray. Please beg your Majesty for your life..."
As soon as the Lanfang clan came in.
He shouted for mercy.
It was obvious that he was frightened to death by the sight of Liu Qianxing being shot dead in front of them.
Among them, the uncle of the Dai family in Lanfang is the representative.
Everyone banged and kowtowed.
Seeing this, Zhu Daohua felt a burst of liver pain.
Who do you think this Emperor Hongwu should imitate?
You must learn the Mongolian kneeling ceremony.
As a result, the Han people who came later knelt down at every turn.
Sitting in a high seat, all he could see was his protruding buttocks.
Simply unsightly.
"Everyone, get up and talk!"
Zhu Daohua said.
Everyone then stood up tremblingly and looked up at Zhu Daohua, who was sitting in the main seat.
Zhu Daohua's identity is different now.
He was a hero who defeated an army of 80,000 in one battle.
Every move.
Everyone present was frightened.
That scene where Liu Qianxing’s head blossomed.
But it's still lingering in everyone's minds.
"Are you Dai Yan?"
Zhu Daohua's voice sounded.
Three thousand troops were sent out this time. Dai Yan, the uncle of the Dai family whose military strength was second only to the Liu family, trembled all over and couldn't help but kneel down.
"Stand and answer!"
After hearing Zhu Daohua's words, Dai Yan, who felt weak all over, did not dare to kneel down, but hung her head.
"The grass people...the grass people are Dai Yan. Your Majesty...the emperor, the grass people were deceived by the Liu family! Otherwise, even if I had a hundred courages from the grass people, I would not dare to offend the great king Huwei!"
Dai Yan was probably really frightened.
Sometimes he is called emperor, and sometimes he is called king.
"The Liu family's crime is unforgivable, all their property has been confiscated, and all members of the Liu Qianxing clan have been demoted to mining slaves."
Zhu Daohua said.
"The great... great king is wise."
Everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief.
The Liu family is definitely doomed.
I originally thought that the Liu family would definitely be slaughtered.
Unexpectedly, he was just a slave.
This shows that their punishment cannot be more severe than this.
"As for you..."
Zhu Daohua paused.
"Confiscating 30% of your land and mines, will you accept it?"
Just confiscated 30%?
Dai Yan and others looked excited.
He immediately knelt down again.
"Thank you Ming Wang Kuanren."
"Your Majesty is so kind."
"Thank you Lord for your grace."
A group of Lanfang rich people knelt down one by one.
It seems that this rule of kneeling at every turn cannot be changed anytime soon.
"This isn't over yet."
Zhu Daohua interrupted these excited rich people.
"Liu Qianxing owes me 88,888 taels of silver. Now that Liu Qianxing is blowing the candle and pulling out the wax, it's up to you to pay the money."
"Pay out! We'll pay out the money." Dai Yan said impatiently.
Everyone also expressed their opinions.
Express absolute obedience.
"The properties in your hands must also be registered for tax payment. In addition, all the Tangkou must be dissolved. In the future, Lanfang will be governed by the system of counties and counties. In the future, your children will also be officials in Lanfang. There is no place in this Han province. Officials can also raise private soldiers."
"In addition, all male children from all races between the ages of 10 and 18 must attend Daohua Public School, Daohua University, or the Army and Navy Officers Academy!"
"In addition, I will hold an imperial examination in ten days. All Lanfang citizens between the ages of 18 and 35 can apply for the examination. Those who succeed in the examination will be trained by the Government Affairs University and serve as officials in various places in Lanfang."
Abandoned hall entrance.
Take in students, or hostages.
The imperial examination was held again.
A series of actions by King Zhu Ming.
It is necessary to completely turn West Borneo into a Han land that is no different from the Han provinces.
After waving to let the representatives of the various clans who had expressed their gratitude go out.
Zhu Daohua also summoned envoys from Brunei, Banjar and Dayak.
"The guilty ministers of the foreign vassals pay their respects to the Emperor of Heaven. Long live, long live, long live."
These natives of Borneo also speak proficient Cantonese Mandarin.
When he saw Zhu Daohua bowing his head, he bowed.
Called himself a vassal.
