Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 354

Get out of the delivery room.

Emperor Zhu and Empress Luo walked side by side on the way back to the palace.

The surrounding guards and maids all knew what the emperor and his wife were going to talk about, so they just followed from a distance.

Anyway, within this high wall, it is impossible for any assassin to appear.

"Queen, I won't worry about any past events in Jingnan."

Emperor Zhu walked forward with his hands behind his back, and Empress Luo followed suit, which seemed a bit like a husband and wife.

But the two have completely different thoughts now.

For Luo Fangmei.

Zhu Yichi is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and will succeed the Ming Dynasty in the future.

And his crown prince position is very stable.

As long as you don't make any big mistakes.

Emperor Zhu would not do such a thing as abolishing the elders and erecting the younger ones.

This is first of all a matter of indecentness-Empress Luo is very clear about how much Emperor Zhu attaches importance to maintaining the authority of rituals.

But entrusting so many sons to go out, and many sites seem to be very developed countries, such as in the New World.

Queen Luo had seen the topography of the New World, and it was easy to support a population similar to that of the Central Plains.

Now the New World is empty.

But at the speed of the Ming Dynasty's immigration to the New World.

After 23 years—that is, after Emperor Zhu retired as the Supreme Emperor.

There are at least tens of millions of Chinese population in the New World.

And basically they are young and strong.

Although it is said that Emperor Zhu will not entrust the New World to one person.

But it is clear that Zhu Yixin, the second prince entrusted to Jinshan, is the prince with the most stable position, the largest territory, and the most resources.

And he is the son of Concubine Shi.

Now the high-ranking members of the Ming Navy have a high proportion of Dan family members.

The second prince has status, territory, and contacts in the navy.

How can such a prince not be feared by others?
"Queen, the times are different. When the boss is the emperor of Ming Dynasty, what he needs to understand is not military, but law and management. Daming is so big that the cost of continuing expansion is greater than the benefit. Therefore, to be my successor, you don't need a hero." In the mainland, what is needed is to grasp the balance, the balance of the government. But the second child, or the princes entrusted to the new continent, are different. They want to lead their respective kingdoms to expand and fight. It is difficult to fight a big war in the old continent. I will spend my whole life accomplishing the goal of monopolizing the New World."

Emperor Zhu said with his hands behind his back.

"Our children and grandchildren can't be raised as fat pigs like the princes and grandchildren of Taizu. My children are not just emperors and kings. This is not their only way out. In the future, I will definitely have very There are so many descendants, it is impossible for me to arrange a crown for each of them, so I will give them the best education! The Daming Imperial Family Consortium will establish an education foundation for royal family members, and my descendants will receive the best education , Their future can be in business, in politics, in the army, as a doctor, as a bureaucrat, as a lawyer."

"The future Ming Dynasty will not be a dictatorial Ming Dynasty, and the boss will not become an emperor with absolute authority like me. His power as an emperor will be limited. You have to remember that the emperor's etiquette cannot be restricted, nor can he Restraining others, similarly, the emperor with absolute power is not protected by power."

Emperor Zhu couldn't help sighing when he saw the puzzled look on Empress Luo's face.

At least until now, like Queen Luo, there are still many people who can't understand what he did.

But Zhu Daohua knew.

Any unfettered power will be backlashed.

There is only one founding emperor.

It is impossible for Zhu Yichi to gain the same authority as Zhu Daohua.

Even just getting close is difficult.

Unless Zhu Daohua is like Zhu Yuanzhang.

Let's do a big kill first.

Use fear and killing to maintain the authority of the imperial power - but if the imperial power needs to rely on violence and killing to maintain, then when the imperial power weakens in the future, the royal family will also face violence and killing.

This situation has been repeated on the land of China for almost 2000 years.

To end this situation, Zhu Daohua must establish the authority of ritual—in other words, he must promote constitutionalism.

But promoting constitutionalism does not mean that the royal family will give up power.

in contrast.

The power of the royal family may even be strengthened as a result.

However, power will no longer be concentrated in the hands of the emperor alone.

The prince surnamed Zhu who was enfeoffed by the Ming Dynasty was a member of the royal family who was active in politics and business.

In the House of Representatives.

There has to be an influential royal to lead.

The main political parties in the House of Commons will not be short of royal family members.

in the business world.

The Daming Royal Family Consortium will support promising royal descendants, with the Royal Family Consortium as the core, surrounded by small consortiums.

The royal family of Ming Dynasty.

Be like an octopus, extending its tentacles to every corner and grasping everything.

This is the solution given by Emperor Zhu to solve the future of the royal family members.

Give them the best education possible.

Train them to become elites in all aspects.

With the emperor as the core and members of the royal family as the tentacles, an octopus-like dynasty is formed.

the best.

It can make the Ming Empire unable to leave the royal family.

In this way, isn't it the extension of the country?
And to achieve this.

The power of the emperor should not be too great.

otherwise.

Future generations still cannot avoid being raised as pigs
"Have you heard? Concubine Li gave birth to a prince, and Son of Heaven announced publicly that this is the future King of Joseon!"

Seoul.

Inside Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Several ministers in red robes and black gauze were whispering.

Sitting on the throne, the Joseon King Li Zong also looked a little unspirited, and his face was very ugly.

It's not because the fourteenth prince of Ming Dynasty might become his successor - Li Zhen has no children, if he adopts an adopted son from a side branch to be the crown prince, he probably won't be as close as his grandson in his heart.

and.

If the prince of Ming Dynasty became the king of Joseon.

Then those rebellious Donghui rebellious parties dare not make mistakes, right?

And the situation in North Korea is not optimistic.

The power of Dongxue's rebellious party is growing.

Busan and Ulsan have completely fallen into the hands of the rebels, and Gyeongju is surrounded.

The so-called "Donghak Revolutionary Army" has engulfed more than 30 people.

so many people.

Relying entirely on the power of North Korea, I am afraid it cannot be extinguished.

Now the two groups of ministers are discussing that they want to send troops to the state to wipe out the rebellious party.

But the nobles in the two classes are worried that Shangguo will directly abolish North Korea and implement the system of prefectures and counties in North Korea.

"Invite troops to the kingdom, will the emperor of the kingdom send a governor to supervise the country?"

"I'm not afraid of being sent to supervise the country, but I'm afraid of going directly to the county"

"If that's the case, wouldn't North Korea die in our hands? How can this be done? We can't become sinners of North Korea!"

Similar arguments arose one after another.

In fact, the king of Joseon, Li Zhen, was just a puppet of the two wealthy families. If he hadn't been canonized by the Ming emperor, he would have lived worse than the Japanese emperor.

So now he is still squinting his eyes, with a look of closing his eyes and resting his mind, letting the people below discuss.

Just now.

Zhao Gengsheng, the master of the Zhao family in Pyongyang, snorted coldly: "What are you talking about? Daming is the parent of North Korea. How can there be any children in the world who criticize their parents? If it weren't for Daming, North Korea was destroyed by Japanese pirates more than 100 years ago. Can we still have the current Guozuo? As the filial son of Daming, we will all have to accept how Daming arranges North Korea! Jin Yinda, don’t forget. Your family was a hero who followed Daming Zi!"

Zhao Gengsheng's words made the faces of the North Korean ministers who were discussing at the scene change.

North Korea claims to be the first dutiful son of Ming Dynasty.

As a filial son.

Whatever your parents say, of course you have to do what you want.

Not to mention arranging a prince to be the king of Joseon.

Even if the North Korean state is directly revoked, the North Korean province is established.

There can be no objection.

Otherwise, what kind of filial son is it?

Jin Yinda of Anton Kim's complexion also changed slightly.

Kim In-dae is now the chief minister of North Korea's Sixian government.

A high-ranking official.

But in fact, the Anton Kim family was still a small local family five years ago.

Although a few officials have gone abroad, they are not considered a large Korean family.

Kim In-dae is now able to speak to the Joseon court.

It was all thanks to the Anton Jin family who organized tens of thousands of Korean civilians to accompany the army during the Liaodong War in the Ming Dynasty.

This is all because of climbing up the thick legs of Da Tianzi.

And Jin Yin Da Neng has been promoted from a small scholar to a high-ranking official in just a few years.

It is also entirely because the Anton Kim family has become the reason for the two classes of aristocratic families-the aristocratic families have privileges.

The imperial examinations in North Korea are actually the special promotions for the two classes of wealthy families.

Of course, Jin Yin's big ass, who has now become a wealthy family, has also changed. When he heard that someone in Ming Dynasty wanted to annex North Korea.

The patriotism suddenly became raging.

after all.

If North Korea becomes a province of Ming Dynasty.

He, Jin Yinda, and the children of Anton Jin's family must be like tens of thousands of scholars in the Ming Dynasty.

Slowly gain qualifications from a nine-rank scholar officer.

Even if the official career is smooth.

Every level can go up smoothly.

To be able to enter the cabinet before the age of 50 is considered to be the great grace of the emperor.

In the current North Korea, he became a high-ranking official at the age of 30 when Jin Yinda was [-] years old.

However, Zhao Gengsheng's merciless lesson made Jin Yinda react suddenly.

He knew he had just slipped his tongue.

Not to mention the Andong Kim family who became a wealthy Korean family because of their contributions to Ming Dynasty.

Any wealthy family in the second class of North Korea has no weight in speaking in front of the Ming court.

Even Emperor Zhu really wants to swallow North Korea.

Anton Kim couldn't object either, he could only applaud.

Otherwise, the entire Anton Kim family might be gone.

Whether it is a sinner in North Korea is another matter.

Anton Kim's sinner is sure.

Now he can only lower his head in a gloomy manner, not daring to speak anymore.

"It's useless!" Mr. Zhao sighed, "With the guns given by Shangguo, you can't beat the Dongxue rebels. If this continues. If you don't invite Shangguo to send troops, the rebels will probably be defeated. It's Seoul."

Zhao Gengsheng was more lamenting than reprimanding.
Have no idea.

If North Korea can calm down the chaos by itself.

That is of course good.

North Korea has nothing to do, and is usually filial.

How could Shangguo want to devour North Korea?
So after the news of Donghui's rebellion came.

The two powerful families in North Korea have reached an agreement - if they can not bother Shangguo, they will not bother.

After all, if you live your life behind closed doors, the good life of the two classes of aristocrats can still go on.

In case the upper country intervenes, the North Korean issue must be resolved.

The first to be operated on must be the privilege of the two classes of wealthy families.

In fact.

Donghui's rebellion can go so smoothly.

Also and the two halves of the wealthy family monopolized all resources in North Korea, the common people were struggling to live, and many wealthy sons and bastards had no means of advancement, so they took refuge in Donghui.

It is equivalent to a group of North Korean elites leading a group of oppressed North Korean civilians to rebel together.

Relying on the North Korean government army, it can no longer be suppressed.

But asking Daming for help is really worrying.

The current Da Ming Zi was born as a businessman.

Not the Wanli Emperor back then.

He cares about every ounce.

If you want him to send troops, let alone whether he will send ministers and governors to North Korea, at the very least, he must first extort a sum of military expenses.

But where is the money in North Korea?

North Korea is a dependent state.

Therefore, there is no customs to collect customs duties - tariffs are central taxes, and North Korea has no right to collect them.

No tariffs.

It can only rely on local commercial tax and land property tax.

But North Korea is so poor that there is no business.

If business cannot collect tax, it can only rely on land tax.

In fact, North Korea has a large population and a lot of land property, but it does not collect any land tax.

The reason is also very simple.

Most of the fields in North Korea belonged to the two wealthy families.

And the two classes of wealthy families can be exempted from taxes-this tax method is really comparable to the Ming Dynasty that perished 200 years ago.What's even more absurd is that due to the 500-year reproduction of the Li Dynasty, the praise of the rebels after the Imchen Japanese Invasion, and the sale of officials and nobles.The proportion of two-class households in the total population continued to rise, and at this time it had accounted for about [-]% to [-]% of the total population.

Sixty to seventy percent of the people in a country don't pay taxes, so you don't need to think about how bad the finances will be.

Of course.

The two classes of giants are rich.

But this is the money of the two giants, not the money of the Joseon court.

Please go to the country to send troops, if there is no military expenditure.

Then the Ming court will definitely put forward other conditions.

Either send the governor to the governor of North Korea, or let the fourteenth prince be the king of North Korea.

Of course.

What the two classes of wealthy families are most afraid of is that Daming will directly withdraw from the Korean state and establish a Korean province.

This way everyone's privileges are gone.

The point is, if Daming is determined to do this.

The two giants in North Korea really couldn't stop it.

What if the Ming Dynasty wants to abolish the two classes in North Korea, allocate land to the lower classes, and set up the same imperial examinations as the Ming Dynasty, so that everyone has equal opportunities to rise.

The North Koreans will definitely welcome Master Wang with joy.

Just now.

An official in a red robe hurried in, sweating profusely before he had time to wipe it off, he lay down on the ground with a thud, and said in horror, "It's bad! It's bad! It's not good! It's not good!"

The North Korean officials present were all shocked when they saw this.

Zhao Gengsheng hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"

"The thieves of Donghak played the banner of "abolishing the two classes and dividing the land equally", which immediately attracted many people to join, and now the whole south of Korea is in chaos!"
