Chapter 780

In order to let everyone understand the size of the land that China once owned, the author is repeating it once, and you can skip it if you don’t like it.

Nandian Xuanfu Envoy Division - Zhilaoguancheng, now in the west of Lianghe County, Yunnan Province, and soon moved to Mangan, now in the northeast of Lianghe County, Jiubao.The territory under its jurisdiction is about the area south of the 2 cities of Tengchong, Yunnan and west of the Longchuan River.

Ganya Xuanfu Envoy Division - ruled the new town in the northeast of Yingjiang County, Yunnan Province, and its jurisdiction is equivalent to the Taiping River Basin in Yunnan Province.

Longchuan Xuanfu Envoy Division - ruled the southwestern Balong of Longchuan County, Yunnan Province; its jurisdiction corresponds to the counties and cities of Longchuan, Ruili, and Luxi in Yunnan Province.

Cheli Xuanwei Envoy Division—governed Jinglan in the southeast of Jinghong City, Yunnan Province, and later moved to Jinghong City, and then moved to Xiaomengyang in the northeast of Jinghong City.

The territory under its jurisdiction is about Jinghong, Jiangcheng, Mengla, Menghai and other cities and counties in Yunnan, as well as Wunu, Mengwuzai in Laos and Jingdong in Myanmar.

Mengyang Propaganda and Consolation Envoy Division - governing Mengyang, Kachin State, Myanmar. In 1404, it was changed by Meng Yangchang's lawsuit.

Mubang Propaganda and Consolation Commissioner—governing Xinwei, Myanmar today, with jurisdiction over the northern and southern Shan State areas west of the Salween River in Myanmar.

Burmese Xuanweishi Division - governing today's Awa, Myanmar, the territory under its jurisdiction extends to Mubang Xuanweishi boundary in the east, south to the sea, west to Kali boundary, and north to Longchuan Xuanweishi boundary.

The [-] Dadian Consolation Envoys - governing Chiang Mai, Thailand, with jurisdiction over the eastern part of the Shan State of Myanmar, the east of the Salween River, and the west of the Mekong River.

Laos Propaganda and Consolation Envoys—Govern Luang Prabang, Laos.

Looking at the areas under the jurisdiction of the above-mentioned "Three Xuans and Six Weis", we can know that the jurisdictions of the "Three Xuans" still belong to Yunnan Province, China.

In the "Six Comforts", the area under the jurisdiction of the Cheli Xuanwei Envoy belongs to present-day Yunnan Province, China.

The rest belong to today's Laos and Myanmar; and Mengyang, Mupang, and Myanmar.

The area under the jurisdiction of the Eight Hundred and Four Propaganda and Consolation Envoys belongs to present-day Myanmar; the jurisdiction of the Laotian Consolation Envoy belongs to Laos.

It is really a pity to see the land that originally belonged to China, but it gradually belonged to other countries in the middle and late Ming and Qing Dynasties!
Zhu Youjian remembered the lost land, and for his alternative opium war, he decided to reply with three declarations and six consolations.

So at the court the next day, Zhu Youjian proposed to restore the three announcements and six comforts.

Officials of the Ming Dynasty don't need to take bribes. Now because of the dividends, they have made a lot of money, and all of them are flushed.

Although the government affairs are very busy, they are all in high spirits.

Especially Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Household Department, began to worry about how the Ming treasury would spend all the money in the future.

In one year, the net income of the Ming treasury reached an astonishing 3000 million taels of silver, not including gold.

Ordinary people also have high incomes. While farming, they go to work in factories when they have time.

Almost the annual income is more than 50 taels of silver. This is something they never dared to dream of before, but it turned out to be a reality.

Because the roads are well repaired, almost every family has bicycles, and they ride to work every day.

When farming, every family has cattle. The cattle can be used to plow the land, and they can also be used to pull goods in ox carts. Those who travel far can be used as trains.

After the people became rich, they also stimulated consumption, and Ming Dynasty became more prosperous.

It's just pity for the people of western countries, most of the money they earn goes to Daming.

After the ceremony of the emperor and ministers, Zhu Youjian heard some domestic and foreign affairs, and suddenly said:

"I would like to reply with three declarations and six consolations. Do you have any good suggestions for this?"

"Ah, we're going to fight again..."

There was an uproar among the ministers, with some firmly supporting and others opposing.

Several officials from the Ministry of Rites and the former Metropolitan Procuratorate wrote the prelude:
"Your Majesty, I have the original play."

Zhu Youjian looked at them, already thinking about what they were going to say.

Now Zhu Youjian's psychology is very mature, he will not kill people at every turn, and he will listen to some different opinions.

If an imperial court has no voice of opposition, all of them are flattering, which is of no benefit to the development of the country.

But there must be a good reason for the objection, otherwise, it is purely for the purpose of trolling people and trolling people, which will never be allowed.

Zhu Youjian only said one word:

"Play!"

"Qizou Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has now entered a rare and prosperous age, and it can be said that the country is rich and the people are strong.

Now Nanyang has been completely controlled by Ming Dynasty, and Japan has also become the Dongying Province of Ming Dynasty.

The land area of ​​Daming has surpassed any dynasty in Chinese history.

Those chieftains in the southwest of Daming are very difficult to deal with, and besides, that place is sparsely populated virgin forest, and Daming has no shortage of that bit of land.

The minister thinks that Daming should suspend the army temporarily, so that the soldiers can recuperate..."

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister also agrees!"

……

Sun Chuanting, Qi Jiguang and others were furious:
"Nonsense, three propagandas and six comforts are my land of Daming. They took advantage of the weakness of Daming to stand up for themselves. This is treason. Daming can lose even an inch of land, and it must be taken back!"

After Sun Chuanting, other generals reprimanded these civil servants one after another:
"That is, if you make such remarks again, cut off your dog's tongue..."

Several civil officials still wanted to argue with reason, but they couldn't find a suitable reason to refute:

"you……"

Zhu Youjian looked at Sun Chuanting and the others, and then at several civil officials from the Ministry of Rites.

They were all the censors of the former Metropolitan Procuratorate. After the abolition of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they were assigned to serve in the Ministry of Rites.

"Okay, that makes sense, I want to ask how much is your annual salary?"

Several civil officials thought that the emperor agreed with them, so they hurriedly bowed and saluted:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I will receive a salary of one thousand dragon coins a year."

In the past, they all distributed food, which was about [-] shi, but now they directly distribute dragon coins, which is many times higher than before.

Several people truthfully reported their salaries to Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian's face suddenly sank:
"You have too much money. I see that you have eaten enough. Starting tomorrow, you will be fined for one year, and your official position will be demoted by two levels. There is not a single inch of land in China that is superfluous!"

"Your Majesty, I have found guilty and am willing to be punished..."

The civil servants never thought that a few words would demote the officials by two ranks, and the one-year salary would disappear.

But thinking of the emperor's previous attitude towards the officials, they hurriedly kowtowed on the ground to thank them.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand, step down, you don't have to participate in government affairs in the future.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

There is no way, several civil servants have to kowtow to thank them.

At this time, their intestines were full of regrets. The emperor had not killed anyone for two years, and they committed their old problems again.

In fact, Zhu Youjian can listen to different opinions now, but when it comes to the issue of opening up territories, he will never allow anyone to obstruct him.

Now that the territory of Ming Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, there is a lack of talents to manage it, otherwise these few people might be sent to Mongolia today to raise horses and herd cattle.

Seeing the emperor disposing of several officials of the Ministry of Rites, the generals felt very relieved, and it was a good time for them to establish new achievements by expanding their territories.

Zhu Youjian glanced at Manchao Wenwu one by one, and saw that no one spoke, so he said:
"Declaration, Daming decided to resume three propaganda and six consolations, let them make an immediate decision within three days, otherwise Daming will send troops to forcibly conquer.

Honglu Temple immediately sent envoys to Myanmar, Laos and other countries to inform them of Daming's decision.

At the same time, the naval forces deterred them in two ways, starting from the Mekong River all the way and preparing to land from the sea all the way. "
