Chapter 234 Cochin Argument
Chapter 234 Cochin Argument
The night is as dark as ink, and the lights in Jiming Temple are brightly lit.
Wang Zhong knelt down on the ground, his whole body shaking like chaff.
This is not fright, but excitement, the excitement of meeting His Majesty.
"Get up and answer. If I remember correctly, you are Wang Zhong, the eunuch in charge of the Prince's Mansion?"
Zhu Di flipped through the "note" submitted by Wang Zhong, closed it, and raised his hand to let Wang Zhong stand up.
"Yes, yes!" Wang Zhong's excitement was beyond words, and he was grateful on the spot: "The slave is Wang Zhong, and His Majesty still remembers the slave, the slave is really, really..."
As he spoke, he shed tears on the spot.
"Things are done well, let's go and be the foreman on the spot in the future."
In the afternoon, after learning about the performance and cost of the cement, the two ministers immediately took Li Yu to Jiming Temple to meet him, and called Xia Yuanji, the minister of household affairs who had just returned to the mansion, over.
The three ministers, plus the grandson of Jian Guo, abruptly woke up the sleeping emperor.
Wang Zhong is indeed a talented person who handles affairs properly. Li Yu gave him the cement formula. He led the craftsmen to experiment several times. The successes and failures were recorded in detail, plus the expenditure details of various materials.
This is the notebook that Zhu Di read just now.
"My servant, thank Your Majesty Long En!" Wang Zhong knelt down excitedly and kowtowed three times.
After Wang Zhong withdrew, Zhu Di personally inspected the lifted cement slabs and hammered them for a test. He was very satisfied with the results.
"...build a cement road from Shuntianfu to the north, through the grassland, and reach Beihai. Build cities along the road, build docks, and migrate Han people to settle here. From then on, the grassland will be worry-free!" Li Yu said his plan.
Zhu Di was the emperor who led troops to fight. Naturally, he could understand the benefits of building roads on the grassland.
The Xiongnu of the Han Dynasty, the Turks of the Tang Dynasty, in Tiele, Huihe, Khitan, Mongolia... the masters of the northern grasslands changed wave after wave. When the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, they bowed their heads and proclaimed their ministers. Soldiers went south; not to mention far away, the Taizu conquered the Northern Yuan Dynasty many times, but he always failed to eradicate the roots. The reason for this is that the grassland peoples live in no fixed place.
It is not easy to find the Mongolian tribe first, on the vast grassland. How did Li Guang, the flying general of the Han Dynasty, die?
Secondly, this group of grassland peoples are all skilled in horse bows and horses, and they are extremely disgusting in fighting.Fight if you can, and run if you can't. If you run, you will turn around and harass from time to time, just like Zhu Di did when he conquered Arutai last time.
But if a cement road is built, it doesn't even need to be wide, just one foot, just enough to accommodate a horse-drawn carriage driving in one direction, then the situation is completely different!
Marching with troops and food and supplies on grasslands with lush water and grass, and marching on smooth and solid roads are two different things!
The roads are smooth and solid, as long as enough wooden carts are mobilized, the carts don't even need rough horses, mules and donkeys will do!The soldiers are on their way by scooter, no need to modify, they can fight when they arrive!
The army is coming along the flat concrete road, day and night!
If you build cities along the road, build docks, garrison troops along the way, or even use cement roads to form a network, divide the grasslands, so that the tribes cannot be connected head to tail, and the large tribes are divided into multiple small tribes. Fixed pastures, limited range of activities...
Oops, it's beautiful!Zhu Di thought about it, his eyes sparkled, as if he saw a lamp, illuminating his path to the eternal emperor.
Completely conquer the grassland!Solve the great trouble of the Central Plains Dynasty in 2000 in one fell swoop!Did the first emperor do it?no?Did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty do it?No!Did Li Shimin do it?Not to mention!But I, Emperor Yong Le, saw hope!
If this is done, when I close my eyes and see my father, how dare he blame me for taking the throne from my nephew?
Good grandson!What a great grandson!
"This is not easy!"
Just when Zhu Di was thinking about it, Xia Yuanji's face was filled with embarrassment, and the words he said woke up the emperor like a ladle of cold water.
Zhu Di frowned tightly, eyes full of dissatisfaction, staring at Yongle Chao's purse: "Xia Qing, what's wrong?"
Zhu Di acted like Taizu, with the same decisiveness in killing and attacking. The situation of the officials in the court was a little better than that of Hongwu years, but if you ask which courtier is the least afraid of the emperor, it must be Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Ministry of Households!
Xia Yuanji is not greedy, does not form cliques, is fair and selfless, and what is even more rare is that he manages the household department in an orderly manner, and supports Xiushuntian, the Northern Expedition, the voyage to the West, and the conquest of Jiaozhi by himself. !
With an incompetent Minister of the Household Department replaced, the court would have gone bankrupt long ago!
It is the Yongle Dynasty that cannot be separated from Xia Yuanji, and it is not Xia Yuanji that cannot be separated from the Yongle Dynasty!
Xia Yuanji didn't seem to notice the emperor's dissatisfaction at all, he spread his hands, counted his fingers and began to tear.
"Your Majesty, I just looked at the materials needed to burn cement. It is indeed as His Majesty said, the most expensive thing is the labor cost; you can dig bluestone, you need gunpowder, this is money; gypsum is also money; Cement kiln is money; buying charcoal and charcoal is money; building a city is money;
Zhu Di's face was flushed, but he couldn't say anything. Mr. Xia calculated very clearly, each item seemed not much, but the total amount added up was too big!
"With 30 corvee, the biggest cost will be saved." Song Li made a suggestion.
Corvée is the kind of people who have to work for the government for free every year, regardless of food.The collection of corvee in the Ming Dynasty is relatively humane, and it is generally collected within a hundred miles, and the people do not have to travel thousands of miles to do labor.
"No!" Xia Yuanji immediately rebuffed: "To build Shuntian, 20 corvée is collected, and the imperial court is preparing for the Northern Expedition, and another 20 corvée is conscripted from the Nine Sides!"
"Add another 30. Do you want your majesty to become the second emperor of Qin? Besides, the road construction will not be completed in a few months. If the farming season is delayed, the people will complain!"
To build a road from Shuntian Mansion to the north, of course, the northern corvee was confiscated.
Wu Zhong: "Then recruit artisans!"
Xia Yuanji: "It's not impossible, but the household department has no money!"
"After the autumn tax..."
"That's no money. This year's autumn tax has a place to go. Why don't you stop the salaries of the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, so that you can make a lot of money?"
Xia Yuanji didn't buy oil and salt, Song Li suddenly thought of a way to get money: "The salt field has started to use the new method to make salt, the dealer proposed by His Royal Highness..."
"That will have to wait until spring next year at least, and it's just a one-off deal. Road construction is a long-term investment!"
Saying that, Xia Yuanji looked at Zhu Di secretly.
With this look, Zhu Di immediately understood!
"Well, you old Xia, your feelings are due to my inner money!"
It is true that domestic funds are just now rich. Zheng He returned from the West with 48 treasure ships loaded with precious stones, mahogany, and pepper... and they are still being sold, and an endless stream of gold, silver and copper coins are transported into domestic funds every day.
"I don't have a lot of money at home. I have to ensure the expenses of the palace, reward meritorious soldiers, and subsidize the deficit in building Shuntian Mansion." Zhu Di was very unhappy: "If you think of other ways, before winter, this cement workshop It must be built well, and the cement must be hoarded, and after I conquer Alutai next year, I will start building the road immediately!"
"Grandpa, my grandson has an idea. I can easily recruit millions of workers without having to pay wages. Just eat."
When several ministers were arguing and Zhu Di sighed helplessly, Li Yu suddenly remonstrated and expressed his idea that he had thought up early in the morning.
Burning cement is not a good job, it is easy to get pneumoconiosis, and the life expectancy is reduced; quarrying and road construction are also hard work, how can the people of Ming Dynasty have the heart to let the people of Ming Dynasty do these things?
The people of Ming Dynasty are so simple, they pay taxes and donate their daughters for the entertainment of the powerful, how can they be so oppressive?It is important to know that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!
Then, we have to work hard on Daming's vassal state!
On weekdays, he always calls Da Ming's father, if father has something to do, naturally his son will do it for him!
Coincidentally, at this moment, there happened to be a disobedient son in the south, and Da Ming's father dug a hole to bury him!
"One million? Just eat? You mean..." Following Li Yu's train of thought, the grandpa and grandson actually popped out a word from their mouths at the same time:
"Cochin?"
The Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi, formerly known as An Nanguo, is the land that the Ming Dynasty is conquering.
In the 32nd year of Hongwu (the first year of Jianwen), Li Jishou, a relative of the Chen Dynasty in Annan, usurped the throne and changed the Chen Dynasty to the Hu Dynasty. The ministers recommended Dai as emperor, Zhu Di believed his words, and named him King Annan.
However, within two months of this incident, Chen Tianping, the grandson of the former King Annan, came from Laos to defect to the imperial court, and revealed Li Jiyak's usurpation of the throne.Zhu Di was furious, he himself was not in the right position, so how can he make another King Annan who is not in the right position?
The canonized edict was chased back before it arrived in Guangxi, and it was ordered to severely reprimand Li Jisha!
Li Jiwei wrote a letter to defend himself, and respectfully invited Chen Tianping to return to China to ascend the throne.In the fourth year of Yongle, Zhu Di sent the governor Huang Zhong to lead [-] soldiers to send Chen Tianping back, and Dali Temple Minister Xue Yan served as his deputy.
It was a good thing at first, but Chen Tianping will be nothing more than a puppet when he goes back, and Li Jishou still controls the government. After a few years, let Chen Tianping "die without children". Well, Li Jisak only became king a few years later.
But Li Jishou didn't know what kind of evil he had fallen into, so he ambushed the army at Qinzhan, and openly killed Chen Tianping, and even Xue Yan, the minister of Dali Temple in Ming Dynasty, was killed!
He lied to people and went back, turned his face as soon as he entered the house, and even killed the Ming envoy. This is the face of blatantly beating Daming's father, and the surrounding vassal states are watching!Can this matter be tolerated?
The Ming Dynasty has been established for 20 years, and it has conquered the barbarians. Except for the time of the Wa Kingdom, has it ever lost such a big face?Zhu Di was furious when he heard the news. In September of the same year, he ordered Zhu Neng to be the general who conquered Yi, and Zhang Fu to be the right deputy general. He led [-] generals including Fengcheng Hou Li Bin and dispatched [-] troops. Annan.
Zhu Neng died of illness one month later, and Zhang Fu was ordered to take command.
It took eight months for the army to convict the people of crimes and sweep the caves. It took eight months to completely wipe out the puppet dynasty of Li Jiyak, and captured Li Jiyak and his sons, kings, generals and ministers. Ying Tianfu.
Annan was flat, and afterward, "the court searched for the descendants of the royal family of the Chen Dynasty but failed", so Annan was abolished and the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi was established.
Zhang Fu was also granted the title of British Duke for his achievements in destroying the country.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. As soon as Zhang Fu left, Cochin rebelled.
The imperial court sent Zhang Fu south to suppress Jiaozhi. Since then, several years later, Chen Jikuo's rebels in Jiaozhi were subdued and rebelled.
Fortunately, the food produced by Jiaozhi is enough to supply the needs of the army, and it will not be a drag on the government. Otherwise, Xia Yuanji would have hit the wall with his head long ago!
"Grandpa Shengming!" Li Yu cupped his hands and proposed: "What the grandson said is exactly the side of Jiaozhi."
"The natives of Jiaozhi, who refuse to accept the king's transformation, have no morals, trustworthiness and shame at all. They are estranged from the court on the surface, but they support Chen Jikuo's rebel army in secret. They kill the people of our court without authorization, even if they have learned some Confucianism. Classic, but it is crowned with monkeys! If you don’t order the British government to completely change it into suppression, and send natives north to build roads wherever they go, it will be regarded as waste use!”
Li Yu's proposal was quite vicious, but the three ministers did not have any objections.Not only that, Xia Yuanji also looked eager to try, obviously agreeing with Taisun's proposal.
"This...isn't that good?" Zhu Di weighed the pros and cons, hesitating slightly.
He wanted to be an emperor through the ages, but the Taisun's plan was a desperate plan, and if he used it, he would definitely be infamous.
"Grandpa, Jiaozhi is a rich land. There are endless rebellions and such chaos. The British government can be self-sufficient, which shows that Jiaozhi is rich in food." Li Yu continued to seduce: "The land of Jiaozhi is irrigated by two rivers, and the temperature is suitable. The rainfall is sufficient, and rice can be harvested three times a year. My grandson heard that the local natives scattered a handful of seeds in the field at will, and did not take care of it seriously, but they never suffered from hunger and hunger, which shows that this place is rich."
"On the other hand, the people of Ming Dynasty, who work hard all year round, are lucky enough to earn only food and clothing. If there is a natural disaster, they will have to sell their children and daughters!"
"It's unreasonable for such a fertile land to be occupied by a bunch of monkeys? We should send out the natives, clean up the house, free up the land, and immigrate millions from Daming, and Jiaozhi is stable. With this land of a province , the food produced is enough to supply our seven provinces in the south!"
As soon as Li Yu finished talking, Xia Yuanji's eyes turned green when Zhu Di was still alive.
If you are not in charge of your family, you don't know how expensive firewood is!He has been in charge of the household department for ten years, and he knows the family background of the imperial court too well!
The Central Plains Dynasty is short of food!It has been missing since ancient times!Although it is a prosperous age now, there is never any meat in the bowls of the common people, and it is good to barely eat and clothe; if there is a natural disaster, it is inevitable that the family will be destroyed.
How can Xia Yuanji bear it when he hears that it is a land that grows three crops a year?
Let go of its benevolence, righteousness and morality!Benevolence, righteousness and morality are not as important as the common people!Saints all pay attention to the distinction between Hua and Yi, and Ming's benevolence, righteousness and morality are for their own people!The natives of Jiaozhi are fearful of prestige and disrespectful of morality, so they should be arrested like Taisun's remonstrance, and free up land to make the people of Ming Dynasty more serious!
Xia Yuanji took a step forward, just about to speak, but Li Yu's movements were faster than him.
Li Yu bowed deeply, with a compassionate look on his face: "Grandpa ordered his grandson to supervise the country, and since the grandson is the grandson of the supervisor, he should take charge of state affairs!"
"For the sake of the hundreds of millions of people in my Ming Dynasty, my grandson is not afraid of infamy, and it is a matter of this crime for the present and the merits of the future! Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!"
Li Yu is really not afraid of infamy, a congenital master whose lifespan is one hundred and sixteen, who dares to scold him while he is alive?By the time I die, how many generations of rotten Confucians will have passed away!Who can remember this?
After hearing this, Xia Yuanji also bowed and said, "Grandfather, be merciful!"
Zhu Di's tears were about to come down. Although he always felt that something was wrong, how could he think too much about this situation?
What a great grandson!Zhu Di also had a decisive temperament. He got up and helped Li Yu up, his eyes flushed, and he said with a smile: "I'm not dead yet. If I die, there will be your father. When will it be your turn to bear it?"
"Wanfang is guilty, and I am guilty. I am just a mere native. Is there not enough infamy for me? Not bad for this one!"
"Three lovers, how about writing a charter on the Taisun's opinion?"
"Decree, to open the Fengtian Palace tomorrow, and to hold a court meeting to discuss this matter!"
It was said that it was a court discussion, but the emperor was tempted, and the matter was almost settled, and the court meeting was just a process: You see, this is not my own will!This was jointly drawn up by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!If you want to be scolded, come together!
After Li Yu and the three ministers left, Zhu Di sat under the candlelight and was stunned for a long time, thinking about what happened tonight.
But he suddenly realized that tonight, he was being led by the nose by his grandson!
Obviously at the beginning it was talking about cement roads, but it involved the Jiaozhi natives?I'm afraid that grandson has already saved the heart to wipe out the natives?
That's right, he is the supervisor of the country, so he should know about the situation in Jiaozhi.
Zhu Di suddenly laughed at himself.
"This monkey boy! Okay, I have learned a bit of the boss's true biography!"
(End of this chapter)
The night is as dark as ink, and the lights in Jiming Temple are brightly lit.
Wang Zhong knelt down on the ground, his whole body shaking like chaff.
This is not fright, but excitement, the excitement of meeting His Majesty.
"Get up and answer. If I remember correctly, you are Wang Zhong, the eunuch in charge of the Prince's Mansion?"
Zhu Di flipped through the "note" submitted by Wang Zhong, closed it, and raised his hand to let Wang Zhong stand up.
"Yes, yes!" Wang Zhong's excitement was beyond words, and he was grateful on the spot: "The slave is Wang Zhong, and His Majesty still remembers the slave, the slave is really, really..."
As he spoke, he shed tears on the spot.
"Things are done well, let's go and be the foreman on the spot in the future."
In the afternoon, after learning about the performance and cost of the cement, the two ministers immediately took Li Yu to Jiming Temple to meet him, and called Xia Yuanji, the minister of household affairs who had just returned to the mansion, over.
The three ministers, plus the grandson of Jian Guo, abruptly woke up the sleeping emperor.
Wang Zhong is indeed a talented person who handles affairs properly. Li Yu gave him the cement formula. He led the craftsmen to experiment several times. The successes and failures were recorded in detail, plus the expenditure details of various materials.
This is the notebook that Zhu Di read just now.
"My servant, thank Your Majesty Long En!" Wang Zhong knelt down excitedly and kowtowed three times.
After Wang Zhong withdrew, Zhu Di personally inspected the lifted cement slabs and hammered them for a test. He was very satisfied with the results.
"...build a cement road from Shuntianfu to the north, through the grassland, and reach Beihai. Build cities along the road, build docks, and migrate Han people to settle here. From then on, the grassland will be worry-free!" Li Yu said his plan.
Zhu Di was the emperor who led troops to fight. Naturally, he could understand the benefits of building roads on the grassland.
The Xiongnu of the Han Dynasty, the Turks of the Tang Dynasty, in Tiele, Huihe, Khitan, Mongolia... the masters of the northern grasslands changed wave after wave. When the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, they bowed their heads and proclaimed their ministers. Soldiers went south; not to mention far away, the Taizu conquered the Northern Yuan Dynasty many times, but he always failed to eradicate the roots. The reason for this is that the grassland peoples live in no fixed place.
It is not easy to find the Mongolian tribe first, on the vast grassland. How did Li Guang, the flying general of the Han Dynasty, die?

If you build cities along the road, build docks, garrison troops along the way, or even use cement roads to form a network, divide the grasslands, so that the tribes cannot be connected head to tail, and the large tribes are divided into multiple small tribes. Fixed pastures, limited range of activities...
Oops, it's beautiful!Zhu Di thought about it, his eyes sparkled, as if he saw a lamp, illuminating his path to the eternal emperor.

"This is not easy!"
Just when Zhu Di was thinking about it, Xia Yuanji's face was filled with embarrassment, and the words he said woke up the emperor like a ladle of cold water.
Zhu Di frowned tightly, eyes full of dissatisfaction, staring at Yongle Chao's purse: "Xia Qing, what's wrong?"

With an incompetent Minister of the Household Department replaced, the court would have gone bankrupt long ago!
It is the Yongle Dynasty that cannot be separated from Xia Yuanji, and it is not Xia Yuanji that cannot be separated from the Yongle Dynasty!
Xia Yuanji didn't seem to notice the emperor's dissatisfaction at all, he spread his hands, counted his fingers and began to tear.

"That will have to wait until spring next year at least, and it's just a one-off deal. Road construction is a long-term investment!"

The Central Plains Dynasty is short of food!It has been missing since ancient times!Although it is a prosperous age now, there is never any meat in the bowls of the common people, and it is good to barely eat and clothe; if there is a natural disaster, it is inevitable that the family will be destroyed.
How can Xia Yuanji bear it when he hears that it is a land that grows three crops a year?
Let go of its benevolence, righteousness and morality!Benevolence, righteousness and morality are not as important as the common people!Saints all pay attention to the distinction between Hua and Yi, and Ming's benevolence, righteousness and morality are for their own people!The natives of Jiaozhi are fearful of prestige and disrespectful of morality, so they should be arrested like Taisun's remonstrance, and free up land to make the people of Ming Dynasty more serious!
Xia Yuanji took a step forward, just about to speak, but Li Yu's movements were faster than him.
Li Yu bowed deeply, with a compassionate look on his face: "Grandpa ordered his grandson to supervise the country, and since the grandson is the grandson of the supervisor, he should take charge of state affairs!"
"For the sake of the hundreds of millions of people in my Ming Dynasty, my grandson is not afraid of infamy, and it is a matter of this crime for the present and the merits of the future! Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!"
Li Yu is really not afraid of infamy, a congenital master whose lifespan is one hundred and sixteen, who dares to scold him while he is alive?By the time I die, how many generations of rotten Confucians will have passed away!Who can remember this?
After hearing this, Xia Yuanji also bowed and said, "Grandfather, be merciful!"
Zhu Di's tears were about to come down. Although he always felt that something was wrong, how could he think too much about this situation?
What a great grandson!Zhu Di also had a decisive temperament. He got up and helped Li Yu up, his eyes flushed, and he said with a smile: "I'm not dead yet. If I die, there will be your father. When will it be your turn to bear it?"
"Wanfang is guilty, and I am guilty. I am just a mere native. Is there not enough infamy for me? Not bad for this one!"
"Three lovers, how about writing a charter on the Taisun's opinion?"
"Decree, to open the Fengtian Palace tomorrow, and to hold a court meeting to discuss this matter!"
It was said that it was a court discussion, but the emperor was tempted, and the matter was almost settled, and the court meeting was just a process: You see, this is not my own will!This was jointly drawn up by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!If you want to be scolded, come together!
After Li Yu and the three ministers left, Zhu Di sat under the candlelight and was stunned for a long time, thinking about what happened tonight.
But he suddenly realized that tonight, he was being led by the nose by his grandson!
Obviously at the beginning it was talking about cement roads, but it involved the Jiaozhi natives?I'm afraid that grandson has already saved the heart to wipe out the natives?
That's right, he is the supervisor of the country, so he should know about the situation in Jiaozhi.
Zhu Di suddenly laughed at himself.
"This monkey boy! Okay, I have learned a bit of the boss's true biography!"
