Prince Ping Zhu Jianshi and Princess Wu entered Pyongyang City under the guidance of Shi Biao, Wang Yue and others.
The city was clean and tidy, and North Korean people knelt on both sides of the street to welcome the prince of Ming Dynasty.
In fact, before King Ping came, the people in the city also knew that a big shot was coming to Pyongyang, and they were notified in advance and rehearsed...
Ordinary people actually didn't pay much attention to the big shots from the Ming Dynasty. These big shots were too far away from them...
Sitting on the carriage, Zhu Jianshi opened the curtains and looked at the awe-filled people outside.
Then he turned his head and glanced at his wife.
"Princess, come and take a look. Although this place is not as big as the capital, we are the biggest here and we can live a comfortable life..."
Wu, encouraged by her husband, looked at the outside world.
"The clothes they wear are different from us Han people."
"The clothes they wore were different. After a while, we asked them to change them. I heard that what they said was different from us."
"The words they said are different, so what did they say?" Wu asked doubtfully.
If it were Zhu Jianlin who listened carefully during class, he would be able to relate to it, but Zhu Jianshi didn't know much and couldn't really answer his wife's question.
At that moment, he chuckled twice and changed the topic: "After a few days, after things stabilized, we and I went to Guzhou City. Grandpa Xiang was there. When we left the capital, the emperor specially told us to go to Guzhou City. If you go to visit, you don’t have to rush as much on the way to Guzhou, and you can also take a good look at the scenery..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu just nodded obediently...
Half an hour later, the prince's honor guard arrived at Prince Ping's Mansion.
Zhu Jianshi got out of the car and exchanged greetings with Shi Biao, Wang Yue and others. At this time, as a female family member, Princess Ping rode a carriage directly into Prince Ping's Mansion...
After Princess Ping entered, Zhu Jianshi, Shi Biao, Wang Yue and others walked in.
Zhu Jianshi was very satisfied with his palace. It was much larger than Prince Ping's Palace in the capital. The only drawback was that, separated by a wall from the palace, there was the residence of the Pyongyang government, the temporary general military palace, and the temporary governor's palace. The Wei Yamen and the Pyongyang royal Yamen are all here...
After the reception, the people in the city began to busy themselves with their own affairs.
The noise started immediately after the line of picket soldiers withdrew, accompanied by a few smoke rising into the sky...
The common people set up stalls, hawked goods, and those who went out to pull goods also put hemp ropes on their shoulders and pulled the carts, walking towards the outside of the city step by step...
The light and hope that disappeared in the eyes of ordinary people now reappeared after two years of peaceful life.
Two years ago, this place was filled with helpless shouts, painful groans, and the passing of life...
This was irreversible back then and no one could stop it.
At that time, most of the Korean people felt the threat of death. Every day, the Ming army and the picket army had to set up execution grounds and kill people. At that time, they all thought pessimistically that sooner or later they would kill themselves. , these people have no so-called tomorrow at all, and have no hope.
But after the Ming army carried out several major purges, their attitude changed drastically.
They instead promulgated a series of military and political measures to calm the people, strictly controlled violent institutions, and set up various regulations within the picket army to prohibit disturbing the people without any reason. They also gave new measures to the people outside the city on the original basis. With the land and production materials, the people in the city can also participate in the manufacturing of weapons and obtain Ming Dynasty Baobao, a currency with obvious purchasing power in North Korea...
Before the new policy was implemented, Wang Yue also had a conflict with Shi Biao.
Shi Biao stubbornly believed that only swords and guns can make a nation completely surrender. No matter what other methods are used, they are just frivolous and cannot achieve the ultimate goal.
But Wang Yue believed that the initial conquest required war, massacre, and blood, but wars and violent rule were only temporary, and stability and peace were the main theme.
To implement long-term and effective rule in North Korea and make North Korea a strong backing for the Ming Dynasty in fighting the Mongols in Liaodong instead of being a drag on the Ming Dynasty, we must allow the more than 1.7 million ordinary people in North Korea to live a normal life as soon as possible. , gradually reduce Ming's investment in North Korea, reduce Ming's garrison in North Korea, and strive to allow the court to receive rewards as soon as possible.
Let them return to normal life as soon as possible, be able to farm, pay grain and taxes, form an army to go to Liaodong, and ensure self-sufficiency.
Under this premise, the people of North Korea must know that a stable life is not like the thorny balls on the mountain, which are readily available.
They need to know how much it costs and how many lives they have to pay to have such a peaceful life.
Only the process of obtaining it, full of hardships and tears, can make them empathize with it, cherish it more, and even raise any weapons they can to those compatriots who want to resist and destroy their stable life.
The biggest difference between Shi Biao and Shi Heng is their ability to listen.
After listening to Wang Yue's words, although he still muttered, he really listened. After the two of them jointly presented, they also obtained the emperor's approval. Finally, Shi Biao also gave up part of his power and transferred the real The power of governance was handed over to Wang Yue.
Under the management of the Ming army and Wang Yue's layout, it took only two short years for northern Korea to restore its former peace.
Almost the entire ruling class was replaced, and all the original soldiers and royal family members were wiped out.
The lives of ordinary people have not undergone any earth-shaking changes.
Even after changing to a new government and a new governance process, their lives were a little easier...
After settling down a little, the people also had some hopes for the future.
The most popular business in North Korea now is not grain stores, but schools built by government organizers.
Specialized in teaching Chinese language and writing to children over six years old.
Of course, Wang Yue will not pay out of his own pocket.
The rule he set was that after conducting three inspections and liquidations of the entire North Korean province, all North Korean people would become citizens of the Ming Dynasty.
They are obliged to receive education from Ming Dynasty.
Nowadays, the government has set up schools. It only costs three taels of silver a year to send your children to study in the city.
Food and accommodation included.
And after six years of study, those who pass the exam can enter North Korea's government agencies, and can also enter Liaoping Prefecture and the hinterland of Liaodong to arrange public positions.
When the official list was posted, the entire North Korean people were in a state of excitement.
Originally, ordinary people did not have any way to rise, but as soon as this official list came out, it gave these ordinary people hope.
Some people still have some in stock.
Now ordinary people of Korean nationality also have a new dream.
It is to send your children to schools in the city to learn Chinese. When they grow up, they can rely on their proficiency in Chinese to get a job in the new government. Even if they are not good enough, they can follow the Ming army soldiers and serve as an interpreter for the army. If it really doesn't work, I can go far away to Liaodong and become a master.
No matter what, he was eating the royal food of the Ming Dynasty.
This is a talent that even eighteen generations could not produce...
Many parents lived frugally and sent their children to the city, and then worked hard to farm, build roads for the government, and work, just to support a child who could eat royal food and have a glorious family...
Of course, even if they eat imperial food and enter Liaodong, these children whose parents think they are the most outstanding of the eighteenth generation are just ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty, but their lives can be guaranteed. This is the biggest gain...
