Chapter 261: Drowning and killing a baby girl, dehumanizing, tattooing on the face, and exile of the whole family!
Please ask Meng Miao to go to Guangxi.
Zhu Qiyu had been thinking about it for a long time. He wanted to build a Confucian Temple in Guangxi so that Guangxi would be able to excel in literary styles and continuously provide talents for the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, with Guangxi as the center, we will build the cultural context of Guangdong, Annan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Hunan.
Let Guangxi become the center of Indochina.
"The head of the Meng family moved to Guangxi, built a Meng temple in Jiang, and built a statue of Meng Sheng, so that the light of Meng Sheng could shine on the barbarians and make them naturalized quickly!"
Jiangzhou is an independent state, sandwiched between Taiping Prefecture and Nanning Prefecture.
"Change Jiangzhou to Mengzhou, and the state governance will remain unchanged."
"In Mengzhou, build a Meng Sheng Academy to promote Yasheng's learning, and invite celebrities from all over the world to leave their own teachings in the palace and pass on their disciples."
Zhu Qiyu considered it and said: "Build a stone tablet and erect a biography, carve "Mencius", and let the scholars from all over the world make a pilgrimage to Mengzhou, Guangxi! Go and see the eternal saint!"
Ever since Taizu, he has not respected Meng Sheng.
During the Jiajing Dynasty, the dukes who were descendants of Meng Sheng were deposed and only respected as Yasheng.
Therefore, the Meng family, which was very popular in the Ming Dynasty, has been suppressed by the Kong family.
Now that the emperor is stripping away the residence of the descendants of ancient saints, it is also a good thing for the Meng family.
"I thank you Lord for your kindness!" Professor Meng kowtowed.
Zhu Qiyu sent them away.
The Four Dragons are approaching the court, and with the endorsement of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, they can relax a little.
Qin Tian Jian must be established as soon as possible.
Next time something like this happens again, the emperor won't let it happen casually.
The emperor had to do everything himself, so what did the ministers do?
He Zhien trotted in, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, we have found out."
"Say!" Zhu Qiyu's eyes darkened.
"Last night, Wang Zheng, the eunuch of Renshou Palace, went to Yanxi Palace. Some people said that the rumors came from his mouth."
Hu Guiju was frightened and had a hemorrhage. It was because she learned that Tang Guifei and Tan Yunxian gave birth to a baby first, and her son, the prince, was hopeless, that's why she suffered a hemorrhage.
Fortunately, she didn't know that her son Zhu Jianji was almost separated from yin and yang.
"It really is her."
Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrank: "Go and do it to Wang Zheng Lingchi in front of Renshou Palace!"
"All participants will be killed!"
"The Yanxi Palace is not strict, everyone goes to the Clothing Bureau to work for a month and then comes back to serve!"
Queen Mother Sun, you are plotting against my child again!
When this incident is over, we will settle old and new accounts together.
"Your Majesty, are you going to start a killing spree in Renshou Palace?" He Zhien whispered.
"In these troubled times, don't add extraneous ramifications."
Zhu Qiyu thought deeper and more: "Hu Fei, mother and son are safe, just kill the culprit, don't want to get involved, it's not time yet."
"The slaves obey the orders!"
Zhu Qiyu stood up and walked around.
If we extrapolate from the perspective of the biggest beneficiary, what role did Tang Guifei play in the turmoil?
She is not a white lotus.
To be able to give birth to a child before Tan Yunxian, conspiracy and calculation were essential, and with a little bit of luck, he won the crown prince position for his son.
The most regrettable thing is that Concubine Song had a miscarriage at such an old age.
How will the Song Dynasty retaliate?
In the whole incident, Concubine Tang was the one who benefited the most. Moreover, she did not touch her body, and all the cause and effect were placed on Tan Yunxian, which was very clever.
He had speculated about Tan Yunxian's plan before.
Now it seems that Concubine Tang was superior and had the last laugh.
Concubine Hu seems to be cautious and cautious, but in fact she is more ambitious than anyone else. She actually wants to give birth to her eldest son and inherit the throne!
Do you think that's possible?
Why don't you use your brain?
Your grandfather is Hu Hui, your father is Hu Changning, and your uncle is Hu Wei. With such a powerful relative, who can trust this child to inherit the throne?
Zhu Qiyu is worried. Who can guarantee that Hu Changning or Hu Xi will not become Yang Jian or Zhao Kuangyin?
Therefore, from the moment she entered the palace, her son was destined not to be the prince.
In his mind, the only ones suitable to inherit the throne and whose relatives were not strong were Tang Guifei and Tan Concubine.
The sons of other people will never be able to inherit the throne, don't even think about it.
Even if they establish a vassal vassal outside, they must keep it far away, and they must not let them covet the Central Plains at all.
The powerful influence of relatives is both a good thing and a bad thing for the prince.
What's even more interesting is that he named the fifth son of the emperor Zhu Jianji, which gave Concubine Hu a glimmer of hope and also gave her mother's family a glimmer of hope.
Zhu Qiyu wandered back and forth.
So, are Concubine Lin, Concubine Mao, and Concubine Bai, who have never been mixed up, really all White Lotus?Not involved at all?
Concubine Hu in Yanxi Palace suffered a collapse of blood. Is it really the fault of Renshou Palace?
impossible!
Zhu Qiyu didn't believe it at all.
He Zhien was good at running errands and threw the blame to Renshou Palace. He knew that I had objections to Renshou Palace, so he went along with the flow and hid the real culprit.
Because Renshou Palace really wants to cause harm, and Empress Dowager Sun is not a good person.
But she doesn't have the strength.
The entire harem was under the nose of Du Zhijian, which was equivalent to being under the nose of the emperor. Renshou Palace was exactly opposite to the emperor, so Du Zhijian paid special attention to it.
Any unusual movement will be reported to the supervisor, and Xu Gan will immediately take countermeasures.
Concubine Hu was even more intelligent. How could she not be on guard against Renshou Palace?
Wang Zheng is also a fool. In front of the eunuch of Renshou Palace, he went to Yanxi Palace to show off. Is it possible?
Even if he goes, who can he come into contact with?Will Hu Guiju believe him?
Obviously, there's something fishy here.
Lin Yu, who had the worst relationship with Hu Guiju, was probably the one causing trouble.
Are you fooling me with such an obvious situation?
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered.
He Zhien repaid him in this way, but he didn't expose it and borrowed the donkey down the slope.
What the harem needs is stability, and it cannot continue to be in turmoil.
Concubine Lin couldn't beat her either. She was still pregnant, so she just pretended that she didn't know and let the matter go.
It doesn't matter who the real culprit is.
Let Renshou Palace take the blame.
Among the eunuchs in the palace, no one would dare to offend the concubine who was the most adaptable and gave birth to the prince.
"Feng Xiao."
Zhu Qiyu suddenly said: "Royal Commercial Bank Dong Ci is too busy alone, let He Zhien help."
Feng Xiao's pupils shrank, the emperor was belittling He Zhien.
Did He Zhien do anything wrong?
"Become a deputy admiral and eunuch."
Zhu Qiyu said: "The Royal Commercial Bank will be split up, and I need my close friends to keep an eye on it."
"When everything in the palace is over, I will start to split it up."
Feng Xiao suddenly said: "I will deliver the message on my behalf."
Zhu Qiyu nodded, then sat on the chair and began to deal with official duties.
I have many sons.
There is an excellent advantage, which is to carry out kills.
If the emperor is alone, the prince will be the emperor's greatest weakness.
But if the emperor kills one of his dozen sons, there are still ten others waiting to take over, so it is better not to harm him.
Therefore, the prince has no risk and only needs to check and balance the harem to prevent the concubines from killing the emperor's heirs.
There are advantages and disadvantages.
If there are too many sons, the struggle will inevitably be fierce.
"Feng Xiao, let's start preparing for the Queen's canonization ceremony." Zhu Qiyu exhaled.
Tang Guifei won the throne of queen, but lost her position in the emperor's heart.
I don’t know if there is something gained or something lost.
There was a strong wind and rain in the palace, but everything in the capital was as usual.
But Zheng Youyi, the eunuch of Xichang, came to the patrol camp to mention someone.
Cao Jixiang regained divine grace.
He didn't dare to play tricks with Xichang and let Zheng Youyi take Yuan Bin away.
That's right, Yuan Bin is not dead yet.
His family was tortured to death.
Yet he is still in prison and alive.
While waiting to die, Zheng Youyi opened the cell and asked him three questions: "Do you want to be reborn?"
"miss you!"
Yuan Bin fed the dog out of loyalty, causing disaster to the whole family.
So he fell into the devil's path and used Buddha to transform into devil.
"Is there such overwhelming hatred?" Zheng Youyi asked again.
"Have!"
Yuan Bin's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he was willing to feed the devil with his own body and kill to stop killing.
"Are you willing to be a loyal dog to His Majesty?"
"Yes!" Yuan Bin kowtowed heavily.
There is only one person in the world who can give him a chance to be reborn, and that is the Emperor!
"From now on, Yuan Bin will be one of the [-] households in Xichang."
Zheng Youyi took Yuan Bin away.
Liu Yu went to Cao Jixiang and said, "Battle Supervisor, Yuan Bin hates you the most. He went to Xichang, I'm afraid he will take revenge on you."
"Humph, I am in the heart of the emperor."
"Your Majesty is my governor's support."
"He Yuan Bin is nothing, he's just a wild dog that betrayed his old master!"
Cao Jixiang forgot that he was also such a wild dog.
Liu Yu didn't dare to say anything.
The patrol battalion has a new mission, supervising Buddhism and Taoism, and endorsing the birth of the Four Dragons.
Yuan Bin walked out of the cell. The dazzling sunlight made it difficult for his eyes to adjust, and he suddenly showed a sad smile: "I, Yuan Bin, am back!"
He glanced back at the patrol camp.
Some people are destined to die!
Let me, Yuan Bin, put an end to all this with my own hands.
Zheng Youyi got on the official sedan, looked at Yuan Bin in the sedan, and raised the corners of his mouth, he wanted such a person.
A wild dog that everyone despises will become a mad dog that bites noble people if it enters the West Factory.
The palace of the Japanese prince.
Hearing that the emperor gave birth to four sons in one day, Zhu Qizhen cried all night.
In Baiwang Street, the kings felt like they were mourning the death of their heirs, which was more painful than the death of their own sons.
In the past, the emperor had no sons and was quite timid in doing things.
Now that he has a son, will he still be so kind to the kings?
A prophecy appeared quietly in the capital: Born to be auspicious, four dragons will come to the court, born to have a strange phenomenon, and four dragons will be born on the day.
This kind of voice is very loud.
Morning the next day.
Zhu Qiyu sat on the dragon chair: "There is a fortune teller in the capital who said that the birth of four dragons on the same day is a vision from heaven. If a saint is born in the Zhu family, it is the blessings sent down by the above genius."
Everything depends on packaging.
Then trumpet it.
Look at Zhengyiyi, the ancestors of all generations have preached this way. As for those who engage in politics, there is no one who has not preached it.
If you don’t brag, who knows what achievements you have made?
No one told Zhuge Liang to brag, so Zhuge Liang wrote out his own teacher's example and braised on his own.
"The arrival of four dragons into the world has never been heard of since ancient times."
"The old minister looked up history, but heard very little."
"But if it didn't exist in ancient times, it would be auspicious."
Hu Ming couldn’t make it up anymore.
He really couldn't find history to rely on, so he also wanted to compile some historical data to rectify the prince's name.
The problem is that it cannot be found.
Emperor Chen Xuan, Emperor Ming of Tang, and Emperor Huizong of Song were all crazy about having sons. Emperor Chen Xuan gave birth to 42 sons, Emperor Ming of Tang gave birth to 30 sons, and Emperor Huizong of Song gave birth to 38 sons.
No one gave birth to four in one day.
The most outstanding one was Song Huizong, who gave birth to 80 children.After he was kidnapped to the Kingdom of Jin, he gave birth to 6 sons and 8 daughters. He was so big-hearted.
I really can't find any historical data to support it, so I just follow the hype and it's over.
The courtiers followed suit.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips raised: "My eldest son passed away before, so I lost my son."
"I thought this would be the end of my life."
"But God has mercy on me."
"I have dedicated my whole life for the Ming Dynasty. God saw my achievements and gave me four unicorns. They gave me auspiciousness and showed that the Ming Dynasty will continue to grow."
"God will not fail me, and I will not fail the people of the world!"
"I want to open the Ancestral Temple and inform my ancestors."
This is business.
The courtiers shouted long live.
Zhu Qiyu needs the endorsement of all courtiers and the endorsement of the world's literati.
"The newspapers of all the ministers are doing well."
"After the court today, I will write a few poems about the four dragons approaching the court and publish them in the newspaper tomorrow."
"I want to see it."
How dare the courtiers say no?
Just blow it hard.
In the past, there must have been some literati who admired the emperor's bad feet and wanted to take advantage of the situation, but now the emperor doesn't like this and has blocked this road.
This matter is brought to an end for now.
Zhu Qiyu said sternly: "All the ministers must have read Xue Xuan's memorial."
"I want to move the Mencius Temple to Guangxi, change Jiangzhou to Mengzhou, and then open the Meng Sheng Academy. I will invite celebrities from all over the world to gather in Mengzhou and debate in the palace."
"I hope that a new saint will be born in Ming Dynasty."
The Kong family all moved away.
It was only a matter of time before the Meng family was moved away.
The problem is that Guangxi is not a good place.
"Your Majesty's heart is in Annan?" Yao Kui was the first to speak.
"It's not just Annan."
Zhu Qiyu stood up: "If Guangxi is the center, the five provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and Guangdong will surround Guangxi and make Guangxi the center."
"I will take back Jiaozhi, and then destroy Champa, Laos and other countries. Then I will use Mengzhou as the core to build a huge city and hold the south hostage."
"Don't worry about mountain roads. Annam, Laos, Champa and other countries have large populations, so just recruit their people to build roads."
"Even if I want to level a hundred thousand mountains, I can do it!"
Anyway, Zhu Qiyu didn't feel bad about exhausting those people to death, and then moved the Han people there. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
Yao Kui said: "Your Majesty, Ming Dynasty cannot do anything too obvious."
"What do you mean, Yao Qing?"
Yao Kui caressed his beard and said with a smile: "The Ming Dynasty is a kingdom in heaven, and it has never attempted to annex the weak. Therefore, small countries feel at ease, pay homage to the Ming Dynasty, and consider the Ming Dynasty as their suzerainty."
Keep your ambitions under control and don't let others see it.
"I have learned from Yao Qing's words."
Zhu Qiyu felt a little crazy: "After building the Mencius Temple, I want to exile a group of criminals to Guangxi..."
"Your Majesty!"
Yao Kui said loudly: "Guangxi is a land of mountains and mountains. It is definitely not a good place."
"These criminals commit crimes and crimes, and they are not good people."
"It's okay to go to Mobei. I have to rely on the court to thrive in Mobei."
"But if you go to Guangxi, there is the possibility of gathering people to cause trouble!"
"Previously, Jin Zhong, the eunuch admiral of Jin Yiwei, wrote to the central government. He had already moved some nobles from Jiangxi to populate Guangxi."
"I think this is the best thing."
"Filling Guangxi with people from the Central Plains can quickly localize Guangxi and spread culture at the same time."
"Your Majesty should not be stingy with the land and distribute it to the nobles in large quantities, and then build houses for them, so that they can fill in the local politics and reach out to the people."
After Guangxi removed the natives, it became a blank slate.
Yao Kui wanted to fill Guangxi with gentry and make Guangxi the next Jiangxi.
but.
This is the best way to immigrate, and also allows the hub to control Guangxi the fastest and most fully.
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Jin Zhong has done a good job. He not only wants to fill in Guangxi, but also Hunan, Guangdong, and even some people in Fujian as appropriate."
The gentry immigrated in great numbers, bringing their families, servants, servants, and property with them.
There were even escorts by officers and soldiers.
When ordinary people immigrate, they will definitely be harassed by officials and people, but when nobles immigrate, they must be worshiped by officials and soldiers.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
What Yao Kui meant was that criminals could move to the plains, but not to the mountains, which were prone to rebellion.
"Can some clan clans be filled in the vacant space in Jiangxi?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
Yao Kui objected for the same old reason.
"Your Majesty, there are still many refugees in the world. They can be transferred to Jiangxi and resettled as appropriate."
"Your Majesty can also encourage fertility and let the people have more children."
Having said this, Yao Kui knelt on the ground and took out a memorial from his sleeve pocket: "Old minister, please Your Majesty, issue an imperial edict to severely punish parents who drown and kill their baby girls!"
In Jiangxi, South Zhili, Zhejiang, and Fujian, drowning of female infants is very common.
"Bring it up!"
Zhu Qiyu's face was tense.
This is a memorial written by Peng Shi, the chief envoy of Zhejiang, describing the common phenomenon of female infanticide in the Jiangnan area.
"Destroying human relations! They are all beasts!"
Zhu Qiyu slapped the dragon case and threw it on the ground: "Read it!"
Eunuch Guo Yin read the memorial.
This kind of thing is a common phenomenon. The preference for boys over girls has existed since ancient times.
Ordinary families cannot afford to raise too many children, so they leave their daughters to keep their children and use limited money and food to support as many sons as possible.
Baby girls were drowned in large numbers.
When you dig into some mountain peaks, you will find corpses of babies everywhere, all of them female babies.
Taizu issued an imperial edict to rebuke this matter.
Emperor Taizong also issued an imperial edict.
However, the effect is very little, it should be drowned or drowned.
But they don't think about it. They all have sons and no one has daughters. So when the sons grow up, can they marry a wife?
The population structure is extremely irrational.
As a result, the bride price for daughters' families has skyrocketed, making it almost difficult for poor families to find a wife.
Zhu Qiyu dare not say that he advocates equality between men and women. He should at least give women the power to hold up half of the sky!
"Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. In my opinion, these people are worse than animals!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted sharply: "The Ministry of Punishment, add a law that if anyone is found to have drowned an infant, his father will have his face tattooed, and the whole family will immigrate to Guangxi!"
"Those who drown and kill baby girls have their faces tattooed with tattoos. I want to shame them!"
Aren't you patriarchal?
Just tattoo the word "female" on your face, and you will all be female!Tattoo all over the face!
Let’s see who dares to drown a baby girl!
"Your Majesty..." Yao Kui wanted to persuade.
"Don't persuade me!"
"They all think they are smart because they don't have daughters."
"Then they have never thought that their son will be able to marry a wife in the future?"
"It's useless to have so many sons if you can't get a wife!"
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "I said the bride price in Jiangnan has skyrocketed?"
"It turns out you have a young daughter. If it were me, I have a daughter at home and I don't have to worry about getting married. Why don't you raise the price?"
"In the past, the woman would accompany her with the dowry, but now she no longer does so. Even the bride's family has collected the bride price and will not take it back to her husband's family."
"Just like this, it's hard to find a girl!"
"Let me tell you, the world has been peaceful for so many years, why doesn't the population increase?"
"Jingtai's population in seven years was only over 5000 million."
"If the world has been at peace for a hundred years, why hasn't the population surged?"
"It started by drowning female infants!"
"I will issue a strict decree. Anyone who dares to commit a crime will be exiled! The word 'female' will be tattooed on their faces to shame them!"
Exile is fine, but tattooing would be too ugly.After all, it was his own daughter who was killed, so why should he commit a crime?
"Your Majesty, please calm down and listen to what I have to say."
Yao Kui whispered: "Dingkou is the foundation of the country, and it is very important."
"Nature is divided into yin and yang, and people are divided into male and female. This is the way of heaven and earth."
"If there are more men than women, it will naturally be difficult to find a wife, and the price of a wife will also increase accordingly."
"I think it is okay for His Majesty to punish him with exile, but he should not be tattooed. Going too far is not enough."
"And the exile must be exiled nearby."
"For example, people from Zhejiang were exiled to Fujian."
"The people of Fujian were exiled to Penghu."
"The people of Jiangxi are exiled to Guangdong and Guangxi."
"The people of Southern Zhili will fill the two lakes."
If they were all exiled to the southwest, they would probably rebel.
"Moreover, the exile lasts for three years."
"If you are willing to settle down locally, you can divide the land and houses."
"If you don't want to, return all your family property and return to your place of origin."
"At the same time, the court set up a nursery, and some girls who did not want to be raised were sent to the nursery, and the court spent money to support them."
Yao Kui is always steady and steady in his work.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him and realized that he was right in not killing him at first.
"Nursing homes should be established, and internal funds should be used to pay for them."
"I am worried that the place cannot raise children well, so I will send them all to the capital and open a place outside the palace for me to raise them."
"I also keep the girl."
"No matter how many people there are, I will pay to keep them. I will warn the local government that there should be no accidents when the babies are transported to Beijing."
Don’t think these kids are useless.
Especially girls, when they grow up, they will all be trained in the Jinyi Guards, trained to become spies, and then given marriages to the people of the world.
Used to spy on subjects.
Furthermore, it can also cultivate talents belonging to Zhu Qiyu. The benefits are not obvious now, but they will come in ten or eight years.
"Your Majesty is merciful."
Long live the courtier mountain.
Yao Kui wanted to persuade him. After all, raising so many people costs money.
But then I thought, the emperor has money, why should he keep it?It is better to let the emperor spend it and raise the baby, which is still a great good deed.
"Leave this matter to the Chief Secretary, Yao Qing will take charge."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Especially for nursing homes, a bureau can be set up under the Chief Secretary to be responsible for this matter."
"Old minister obeys!"
Yao Kui kowtowed and returned to his seat.
"My lords, in the past the court did not dare to encourage people to have children."
"Even scared."
"Because the chaos in all dynasties started with a large population and insufficient food."
"If the people don't have enough to eat, they will definitely rebel."
"So the court is afraid of too many people. Once it reaches a critical point, there will be a dynasty change."
To put it bluntly, the population exceeds the carrying capacity of the land.
Then they started fighting until the population collapsed and the dynasty changed.
More than 200 years have been a cycle of reincarnation.
If the court encourages births, this cycle will accelerate. In about 150 years, the population will reach a critical point and quickly collapse.
"But I'm not afraid."
"Because I have the Three Treasures in my hand, I can also buy food from abroad."
"I also want to expand the living space of the Han people."
"So, not only am I not afraid, I also need a large population."
"Only when the population is vast and abundant can the place be enriched, and only then can the new land be permanently occupied and turned into the territory of the Han people."
The problem is, populations always reach a tipping point.
The demise of the dynasty is certain.
The courtiers had no idea what the Industrial Revolution would bring.
Zhu Qiyu knew it.
If you have a son, you want your son to grow up healthily. You must develop modern medicine. The combination of modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine is the ultimate meaning of medicine.
Therefore, he wanted to speed up the process of the industrial revolution.
"Your Majesty, it is still unknown how much the Three Treasures can produce per acre."
"Furthermore, Guochao seeds are scarce and require a lot of time to verify."
"If the central government rashly encourages people to have children, if the Three Treasures are useless and the people's population increases, what will the country do?"
What Hu Xi said makes sense.
The yield per acre of the first-generation corn and how to popularize its cultivation are still unknown.
Optimistically, within ten years, it can be promoted nationwide.
However, it takes time for plants to adapt to the land and requires continuous improvement. This process cannot be ignored.
It would probably take 30 years to plant corn throughout the Ming Dynasty.
"What the old master said is true. What if I take back the land of Cochin? Will it be enough to increase the belly of 1000 million people?"
Zhu Qiyu did not consider the life and death of the Annan people at all.
"Your Majesty, if you collect all the land from Sanxuan and Liuwei, it should be enough." Hu Ming didn't think about it.
Gein Annan and other places are still in a wilderness state and have not been developed.
Like the Central Plains, it took more than 2000 years of development to reach its current scale. For example, the southwest and northeast have not been fully developed.
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Then let's give it up for now. It's just a matter of the baby girl, and the court must pay attention to it."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Hu Mi kowtowed.
The atmosphere at Fengtian Temple is relaxed.
The emperor and ministers discussed state affairs, and there were courtiers admonishing both inside and outside the palace, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
And in Jiangxi.
The Chen family's property analysis was completed, and more than 1700 million taels of silver were dug out.
This number scared Sha Hyun.
There is so much money hidden in the Chen family’s ancestral house!
If he were to search the house, he would definitely not be able to find out everything. The Chen family was very good at hiding money.
A total of 2500 million taels of silver.
The whole family was divided equally, and the moved family, the Chen family of Qinzhou, received 1250 million taels of silver.
When Jin Zhong received the news, he lost his voice and said, "How much money does the Chen family have? How much money should the Fei family of Qianshan have?"
"Sir, there must be more than the Chen family!"
Yan Fang clicked his tongue: "The Yu family and the Yang family both have more than 2000 million taels."
Jin Zhong was silent for a long time: "I really want to snatch it away and send it to the center. It is another great achievement."
Gollum!
Yan Fang swallowed: "Admiral, I am willing to break my body to pieces to do this humble job!"
"It's just what I said. As long as they complete the property division and family division within the specified time, there is no need to embarrass them."
Jin Zhong sighed: "Jin Yiwei also needs word of mouth."
"Then let's start on the road?" Yan Fang smirked.
Jin Zhong glanced at him: "Is Dang Jinyiwei a robber?"
"I know my fault for my humble position!" Yan Fang kowtowed.
"Tell the Chen family that they can be exchanged for silver notes."
"You can also pay the Jinyi Guards to escort them to Qinzhou, but the price will be high."
"If the Chen family agrees, just let Sha Xuan be responsible."
Jin Zhong suppressed his greedy thoughts and issued the order.
"Humble post obeys orders!"
Jin Zhonggang received a personal letter from the emperor, asking him to send Fei Fan to the capital, and also to send all Fei Fan's like-minded friends to the capital.
"Fei Fan, it is your honor to be valued by the Emperor."
Jin Zhong sipped the tea: "The Chen family has so much money. Seeing the money leave makes me feel uncomfortable."
The matter in Guangxin Mansion has come to an end.
Jinyiwei collected a total of 1200 million taels of confessional silver, and when Zhang Shan came back, he would be sent to the center by Zhang Shanjie.
The next stop is Jianchang Mansion.
And in southern Zhili.
In April, Princess Hanshan fell ill.
Wang Hong did not dare to disturb him, but took charge of government affairs in various ministries in Nanjing. When he came to Nanjing Zhili, he also had the responsibility of supervising Nanjing officials.
After he was off duty, he often visited Zhang Feng's mansion.
Zhang Feng had only been in Nanzhili for a few months, but he was already much older.
Full of ambition, but nowhere to act.
The forces in Southern Zhili are complex. As long as he does something, he will be restricted everywhere. If he doesn't do something, he will not be able to complete the tasks assigned to him by the emperor.
This is the most difficult place in the world to supervise.
Looking up at Shandong, Zhu Ying worked hard with Xiang Zhong to organize Shandong in an orderly manner.
Last year, Shandong resettled 14 people and cultivated countless fertile fields.
Spring has just begun this year, and more than 30 people have been resettled. The spring plowing has ended, and the new people have gone to the capital and Rehe to work. Shandong has become rich.
Zhu Ying was in charge of political affairs, and Xiang Zhong was in charge of military affairs.
Xiang Zhong suppressed bandits day by day. In one year, he expanded his army to 6, captured 74 bandits, and released nearly one million people.
Xiang Zhong even organized a navy of [-] to repel Japanese pirates once in offshore waters.
All bandits in Shandong have been wiped out.
As many as 30 people were moved from Shandong to Rehe and Liaoning. They were all unruly bandits and they were all sent out of Shandong.
Zhu Ying continued to resettle the population, allocating houses and land to make them settle down.
The two work together perfectly.
Received several commendations from the central government.
However, Zhu Ying was too greedy for power, squeezed his colleagues, and bossed around his colleagues. As a result, Shandong officials often wrote to the emperor, and the censor even accused Zhu Ying of wanting to rebel and become self-reliant.
But the emperor laughed it off.
Zhu Ying was fully responsible for Shandong, and Xiang Zhong was in charge of the army. They complemented each other.
Take another look at yourself.
I have been in Nanzhili for so long, but I have done nothing.
Zhang Feng sighed.
"Ziyi (Zhang Feng's courtesy name), you are already very good at sorting out the officialdom of Southern Zhili." Wang Hong advised him.
Zhang Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Gongdu (also known as Wang Hong), there is no need to help me. My abilities are indeed limited, and I am just relying on the emperor's favor."
He is a talented person in the household department, and he is more than capable of controlling household registration, land and so on.
Let him take charge of one side and supervise one side, and his ability is indeed limited.
The problem is that he is the most suitable person to govern Southern Zhili.
He is a cabinet minister, a confidant of the emperor, and at the same time he is Yu Qian's friend. He has a close relationship with Hu Hui. It would be a waste of time for such a person to be placed in the cabinet.
The governor's ability is limited.
"His Majesty has sent eunuch Wang Cheng to Nanzhili to take charge of the army in the Five Prefectures."
Zhang Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Ren Li is the commander of the remaining division of Zhongdu."
"Brother Gongdu, what do you think His Majesty means?"
Wang Hong smiled bitterly: "What else could it mean? You are dissatisfied with me. I have been in Nanzhili for so long and I still can't move."
"Your Majesty wants to see the actual results, and the Central Committee wants to see the results."
"I haven't done anything yet."
"So, your Majesty sent troops to supervise Southern Zhili. This is to support me."
"Let me kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and force me to go on a killing spree."
Wang Hong wants to be Jia Xu, not Zhang Song.
Zhang Song will not end well.
Zhang Feng shook his head: "Brother Gongdu, think about it, the Yin family is not even afraid of making secret spies known to the public. What are they hiding?"
"Sea boat!"
Wang Hong also understood the case: "In the case of the disappearance of the ship that Zheng He sailed to the West, I estimate that the ship was corrupted by the Yin family."
"That's right, the Yin family has embezzled the ships, so Princess Hanshan is hiding the whereabouts of the ships."
Zhang Feng took a sip of tea and said, "His Majesty's heart is all over the world, and this sea-going ship is what he wants. Therefore, the purpose of sending troops to South Zhili is sea-going ships."
Wang Hong's pupils shrank: "Your Majesty wants to open the sea?"
"It's not necessarily about opening the sea, it's just about looking for sea ships."
Zhang Feng put down the tea cup and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty's actions may seem reckless, but they actually have deep meaning. Don't you think that some people in the court have disappeared?"
Wang Hong frowned: "Are you talking about Liang Yue?"
Zhang Feng nodded.
Liang Yue was the emperor's confidant, but he was not involved in many wars.
Even the emperor never mentioned this man.
He is not in court either.
There was a rumor in the court that he was guarding the Kong family in Gaizhou.
However, the Kong family sent a message saying that they had not seen Liang Yue, that there were no troops stationed in Gaizhou, and that the Kong family could come and go freely.
But Liang Yun disappeared out of thin air.
"Ziyi, you mean that His Majesty is secretly supervising the construction of sea ships?" Wang Hong felt that this matter was too big.
"must."
Zhang Feng thought he knew the emperor very well.
Although the emperor tried his best to hide his intention to open the sea, he could not hide it from those who had the intention.
If you want to expand your territory, money can only come from the sea. Emperor Taizong has proved that this is a feasible way.
The emperor was familiar with the records, so it was impossible for him not to know.
Wang Hong slumped on the chair: "Then, is it a false shot that I sent here?"
Zhang Feng nodded.
Wang Hong recalled that when he was sent to the capital, the emperor's face was filled with anger.
If you think about it carefully, the emperor is getting angry on the surface, but he is not angry in his heart. He is really angry when he is silent.
"Brother Gongdu, I and you are both His Majesty's lackeys. There is no other choice."
Zhang Feng reminded him: "All seven concubines in the harem are pregnant. We have no way out."
In the past, it could be said that the emperor had no sons, and their future wealth had nowhere to rely on.
But now, the emperor has a son.
If they still have double-minded intentions, they are ulterior motives and are inconsistent with their ideals and ambitions in governing the country and the family.
"But your Majesty doesn't believe us!" Wang Hong had no choice. He beat Ma Shun to death. The Japanese prince hated him the most.
"Brother Gongdu, from your point of view, no one in your majesty believes it."
Zhang Feng said: "But from another perspective, you and I want to be famous ministers who will be remembered in history, not His Majesty's loyal dogs. It's not a bad thing to not trust him."
Wang Hong offered tea instead of wine and toasted Zhang Feng: "Ziyi, what do you think I should do next?"
"kill!"
Zhang Feng spat out one word: "Kill Nanzhili until the blood flows like a river!"
Wang Hong's pupils shrank and he smiled bitterly: "Then I have no way out."
"Brother Gongdu, from the moment you came to Nanzhili, there was no way out. If you were thinking about the way out, you shouldn't have come in the first place."
This is the truth.
Wang Hong also understood that the emperor wanted a sea ship. Even if the Yin family relented, what about the people behind the Yin family?Will they relent?
Therefore, Wang Hong had to go on a killing spree to make Nanzhili fearful.
"Then Chen Wuyang has resentment in his heart and is ruthless in doing things, regardless of the consequences. Let's use it." Zhang Feng reminded him again.
Wang Hong stood up and bowed deeply.
As for Chen Wuyang, he is recovering from his injuries recently.
When Wang Hong came, he was timid. He was too idle and unwilling to associate with civil servants, so he lived in the Qinglou.
Fan Qing was interrogating the boy selling lanterns.
Even if he was tortured, he wouldn't do it.
He just said that he was short of money and went to Yin Mansion to steal things.
"What is your relationship with Yang Fuyin?"
Fan Qing interrogated him: "If my guess is correct, you and Yang Xuan know each other."
"You smell like the sea, and you have calluses on your hands. You're probably tired from working, right?"
"I give you one last chance, don't be ignorant."
The boy selling lanterns has not slept for four days.
As long as he closed his eyes, Fanzi would prick him with a needle.
"I'm just a lantern seller, what kind of identity do I have?" He just didn't want to do it.
"Are you from Hunhai?"
"These calluses are also ground out with a knife. Look at the calluses on my hands. Are they similar to the calluses on your hands?"
Fan Qing raised his palm: "I have been holding a knife all year round, so I have calluses."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything now. Anyway, I have a lot of time. Let's take our time and play."
"Don't let him close his eyes, let him keep moving, and beat him if he stops."
Prevent him from sleeping with his eyes open.
"what!"
As soon as Fan Qing finished speaking, the young man selling lanterns screamed. An embroidery needle pierced his ribs, and then he pulled it out, bringing out a bloody flower.
"I'm in the maritime business..."
"nonsense!"
Fan Qing shouted: "Look at where it looks like a business?"
"Hit him!"
"As long as he lies, prick him, put the needle in, and don't pull it out!"
The young man looked at the blood-stained silver needle with a look of horror on his face: "I'm just a little guy who makes a living at sea!"
admitted.
is a pirate.
Fan Qing approached him: "Then what is your relationship with Yang Xuan?"
"The leader wants to do business with Yang Fuyin."
He recruited them all.
Their pirates are entrenched on Chongming Island, and their boss is called Sha Defeng.
Because Guangzhou has strict regulations and Fujian is also in Jinghai, goods are not allowed to enter the sea, so I want to transport a batch of goods from South Zhili.
This batch of goods was shipped from Jiangxi and passed through South Zhili.
You need to go through official procedures, and then go to the sea from Haimen and go to Chongming to go to the sea.
Fan Qing's eyes flickered: "What kind of goods?"
"I don't know about this. The boss asked me to deliver the letter, establish a good relationship with Yang Fuyin, and then get in touch."
"Will Sha Defeng send others into Jinling City?"
Fan Qing suddenly asked.
The young man said he didn't know.
Fan Qing calculated that it had been about seven or eight days since he was arrested. It would be difficult for Li Daitao to use his identity to contact Sha Defeng.
No, how could a maritime merchant follow Yang Xuan's path?
You should take the Yin family's route.
"Are you deceiving me?" Fan Qing deceived him.
He even said it was unfair.
puff!
The embroidery needle pierced his ribs and slapped it hard until it was buried in his ribs. He kept screaming: "Spare my life! What I said is all the truth!"
"Continue piercing!"
The young man selling lanterns was stunned. He was not tortured before I tried to recruit him, but after I recruited him, he was tortured instead.
After interrogating him for another half an hour, he was already dying.
Fan Qing was almost certain that what he said was true.
Then there are two possibilities. First, the goods transported are bulk goods and must go through Yang Xuan before they can be shipped out.
Secondly, the boy selling lanterns didn't know the real plan, he just made a false shot.
Fan Qing was in a dilemma.
At this time, the emperor's secret decree was sent into his hands.

(End of this chapter)
Please ask Meng Miao to go to Guangxi.
Zhu Qiyu had been thinking about it for a long time. He wanted to build a Confucian Temple in Guangxi so that Guangxi would be able to excel in literary styles and continuously provide talents for the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, with Guangxi as the center, we will build the cultural context of Guangdong, Annan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Hunan.
Let Guangxi become the center of Indochina.
"The head of the Meng family moved to Guangxi, built a Meng temple in Jiang, and built a statue of Meng Sheng, so that the light of Meng Sheng could shine on the barbarians and make them naturalized quickly!"
Jiangzhou is an independent state, sandwiched between Taiping Prefecture and Nanning Prefecture.
"Change Jiangzhou to Mengzhou, and the state governance will remain unchanged."
"In Mengzhou, build a Meng Sheng Academy to promote Yasheng's learning, and invite celebrities from all over the world to leave their own teachings in the palace and pass on their disciples."
Zhu Qiyu considered it and said: "Build a stone tablet and erect a biography, carve "Mencius", and let the scholars from all over the world make a pilgrimage to Mengzhou, Guangxi! Go and see the eternal saint!"
Ever since Taizu, he has not respected Meng Sheng.
During the Jiajing Dynasty, the dukes who were descendants of Meng Sheng were deposed and only respected as Yasheng.
Therefore, the Meng family, which was very popular in the Ming Dynasty, has been suppressed by the Kong family.
Now that the emperor is stripping away the residence of the descendants of ancient saints, it is also a good thing for the Meng family.
"I thank you Lord for your kindness!" Professor Meng kowtowed.
Zhu Qiyu sent them away.
The Four Dragons are approaching the court, and with the endorsement of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, they can relax a little.
Qin Tian Jian must be established as soon as possible.
Next time something like this happens again, the emperor won't let it happen casually.
The emperor had to do everything himself, so what did the ministers do?
He Zhien trotted in, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, we have found out."
"Say!" Zhu Qiyu's eyes darkened.
"Last night, Wang Zheng, the eunuch of Renshou Palace, went to Yanxi Palace. Some people said that the rumors came from his mouth."
Hu Guiju was frightened and had a hemorrhage. It was because she learned that Tang Guifei and Tan Yunxian gave birth to a baby first, and her son, the prince, was hopeless, that's why she suffered a hemorrhage.
Fortunately, she didn't know that her son Zhu Jianji was almost separated from yin and yang.
"It really is her."
Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrank: "Go and do it to Wang Zheng Lingchi in front of Renshou Palace!"
"All participants will be killed!"
"The Yanxi Palace is not strict, everyone goes to the Clothing Bureau to work for a month and then comes back to serve!"
Queen Mother Sun, you are plotting against my child again!
When this incident is over, we will settle old and new accounts together.
"Your Majesty, are you going to start a killing spree in Renshou Palace?" He Zhien whispered.
"In these troubled times, don't add extraneous ramifications."
Zhu Qiyu thought deeper and more: "Hu Fei, mother and son are safe, just kill the culprit, don't want to get involved, it's not time yet."
"The slaves obey the orders!"
Zhu Qiyu stood up and walked around.
If we extrapolate from the perspective of the biggest beneficiary, what role did Tang Guifei play in the turmoil?
She is not a white lotus.
To be able to give birth to a child before Tan Yunxian, conspiracy and calculation were essential, and with a little bit of luck, he won the crown prince position for his son.
The most regrettable thing is that Concubine Song had a miscarriage at such an old age.
How will the Song Dynasty retaliate?
In the whole incident, Concubine Tang was the one who benefited the most. Moreover, she did not touch her body, and all the cause and effect were placed on Tan Yunxian, which was very clever.
He had speculated about Tan Yunxian's plan before.
Now it seems that Concubine Tang was superior and had the last laugh.
Concubine Hu seems to be cautious and cautious, but in fact she is more ambitious than anyone else. She actually wants to give birth to her eldest son and inherit the throne!
Do you think that's possible?
Why don't you use your brain?
Your grandfather is Hu Hui, your father is Hu Changning, and your uncle is Hu Wei. With such a powerful relative, who can trust this child to inherit the throne?
Zhu Qiyu is worried. Who can guarantee that Hu Changning or Hu Xi will not become Yang Jian or Zhao Kuangyin?
Therefore, from the moment she entered the palace, her son was destined not to be the prince.
In his mind, the only ones suitable to inherit the throne and whose relatives were not strong were Tang Guifei and Tan Concubine.
The sons of other people will never be able to inherit the throne, don't even think about it.
Even if they establish a vassal vassal outside, they must keep it far away, and they must not let them covet the Central Plains at all.
The powerful influence of relatives is both a good thing and a bad thing for the prince.
What's even more interesting is that he named the fifth son of the emperor Zhu Jianji, which gave Concubine Hu a glimmer of hope and also gave her mother's family a glimmer of hope.
Zhu Qiyu wandered back and forth.
So, are Concubine Lin, Concubine Mao, and Concubine Bai, who have never been mixed up, really all White Lotus?Not involved at all?
Concubine Hu in Yanxi Palace suffered a collapse of blood. Is it really the fault of Renshou Palace?
impossible!
Zhu Qiyu didn't believe it at all.
He Zhien was good at running errands and threw the blame to Renshou Palace. He knew that I had objections to Renshou Palace, so he went along with the flow and hid the real culprit.
Because Renshou Palace really wants to cause harm, and Empress Dowager Sun is not a good person.
But she doesn't have the strength.
The entire harem was under the nose of Du Zhijian, which was equivalent to being under the nose of the emperor. Renshou Palace was exactly opposite to the emperor, so Du Zhijian paid special attention to it.
Any unusual movement will be reported to the supervisor, and Xu Gan will immediately take countermeasures.
Concubine Hu was even more intelligent. How could she not be on guard against Renshou Palace?
Wang Zheng is also a fool. In front of the eunuch of Renshou Palace, he went to Yanxi Palace to show off. Is it possible?
Even if he goes, who can he come into contact with?Will Hu Guiju believe him?
Obviously, there's something fishy here.
Lin Yu, who had the worst relationship with Hu Guiju, was probably the one causing trouble.
Are you fooling me with such an obvious situation?
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered.
He Zhien repaid him in this way, but he didn't expose it and borrowed the donkey down the slope.
What the harem needs is stability, and it cannot continue to be in turmoil.
Concubine Lin couldn't beat her either. She was still pregnant, so she just pretended that she didn't know and let the matter go.
It doesn't matter who the real culprit is.
Let Renshou Palace take the blame.
Among the eunuchs in the palace, no one would dare to offend the concubine who was the most adaptable and gave birth to the prince.
"Feng Xiao."
Zhu Qiyu suddenly said: "Royal Commercial Bank Dong Ci is too busy alone, let He Zhien help."
Feng Xiao's pupils shrank, the emperor was belittling He Zhien.
Did He Zhien do anything wrong?
"Become a deputy admiral and eunuch."
Zhu Qiyu said: "The Royal Commercial Bank will be split up, and I need my close friends to keep an eye on it."
"When everything in the palace is over, I will start to split it up."
Feng Xiao suddenly said: "I will deliver the message on my behalf."
Zhu Qiyu nodded, then sat on the chair and began to deal with official duties.
I have many sons.
There is an excellent advantage, which is to carry out kills.
If the emperor is alone, the prince will be the emperor's greatest weakness.
But if the emperor kills one of his dozen sons, there are still ten others waiting to take over, so it is better not to harm him.
Therefore, the prince has no risk and only needs to check and balance the harem to prevent the concubines from killing the emperor's heirs.
There are advantages and disadvantages.
If there are too many sons, the struggle will inevitably be fierce.
"Feng Xiao, let's start preparing for the Queen's canonization ceremony." Zhu Qiyu exhaled.
Tang Guifei won the throne of queen, but lost her position in the emperor's heart.
I don’t know if there is something gained or something lost.
There was a strong wind and rain in the palace, but everything in the capital was as usual.
But Zheng Youyi, the eunuch of Xichang, came to the patrol camp to mention someone.
Cao Jixiang regained divine grace.
He didn't dare to play tricks with Xichang and let Zheng Youyi take Yuan Bin away.
That's right, Yuan Bin is not dead yet.
His family was tortured to death.
Yet he is still in prison and alive.
While waiting to die, Zheng Youyi opened the cell and asked him three questions: "Do you want to be reborn?"
"miss you!"
Yuan Bin fed the dog out of loyalty, causing disaster to the whole family.
So he fell into the devil's path and used Buddha to transform into devil.
"Is there such overwhelming hatred?" Zheng Youyi asked again.
"Have!"
Yuan Bin's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he was willing to feed the devil with his own body and kill to stop killing.
"Are you willing to be a loyal dog to His Majesty?"
"Yes!" Yuan Bin kowtowed heavily.
There is only one person in the world who can give him a chance to be reborn, and that is the Emperor!
"From now on, Yuan Bin will be one of the [-] households in Xichang."
Zheng Youyi took Yuan Bin away.
Liu Yu went to Cao Jixiang and said, "Battle Supervisor, Yuan Bin hates you the most. He went to Xichang, I'm afraid he will take revenge on you."
"Humph, I am in the heart of the emperor."
"Your Majesty is my governor's support."
"He Yuan Bin is nothing, he's just a wild dog that betrayed his old master!"
Cao Jixiang forgot that he was also such a wild dog.
Liu Yu didn't dare to say anything.
The patrol battalion has a new mission, supervising Buddhism and Taoism, and endorsing the birth of the Four Dragons.
Yuan Bin walked out of the cell. The dazzling sunlight made it difficult for his eyes to adjust, and he suddenly showed a sad smile: "I, Yuan Bin, am back!"
He glanced back at the patrol camp.
Some people are destined to die!
Let me, Yuan Bin, put an end to all this with my own hands.
Zheng Youyi got on the official sedan, looked at Yuan Bin in the sedan, and raised the corners of his mouth, he wanted such a person.
A wild dog that everyone despises will become a mad dog that bites noble people if it enters the West Factory.
The palace of the Japanese prince.
Hearing that the emperor gave birth to four sons in one day, Zhu Qizhen cried all night.
In Baiwang Street, the kings felt like they were mourning the death of their heirs, which was more painful than the death of their own sons.
In the past, the emperor had no sons and was quite timid in doing things.
Now that he has a son, will he still be so kind to the kings?
A prophecy appeared quietly in the capital: Born to be auspicious, four dragons will come to the court, born to have a strange phenomenon, and four dragons will be born on the day.
This kind of voice is very loud.
Morning the next day.
Zhu Qiyu sat on the dragon chair: "There is a fortune teller in the capital who said that the birth of four dragons on the same day is a vision from heaven. If a saint is born in the Zhu family, it is the blessings sent down by the above genius."
Everything depends on packaging.
Then trumpet it.
Look at Zhengyiyi, the ancestors of all generations have preached this way. As for those who engage in politics, there is no one who has not preached it.
If you don’t brag, who knows what achievements you have made?
No one told Zhuge Liang to brag, so Zhuge Liang wrote out his own teacher's example and braised on his own.
"The arrival of four dragons into the world has never been heard of since ancient times."
"The old minister looked up history, but heard very little."
"But if it didn't exist in ancient times, it would be auspicious."
Hu Ming couldn’t make it up anymore.
He really couldn't find history to rely on, so he also wanted to compile some historical data to rectify the prince's name.
The problem is that it cannot be found.
Emperor Chen Xuan, Emperor Ming of Tang, and Emperor Huizong of Song were all crazy about having sons. Emperor Chen Xuan gave birth to 42 sons, Emperor Ming of Tang gave birth to 30 sons, and Emperor Huizong of Song gave birth to 38 sons.
No one gave birth to four in one day.
The most outstanding one was Song Huizong, who gave birth to 80 children.After he was kidnapped to the Kingdom of Jin, he gave birth to 6 sons and 8 daughters. He was so big-hearted.
I really can't find any historical data to support it, so I just follow the hype and it's over.
The courtiers followed suit.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips raised: "My eldest son passed away before, so I lost my son."
"I thought this would be the end of my life."
"But God has mercy on me."
"I have dedicated my whole life for the Ming Dynasty. God saw my achievements and gave me four unicorns. They gave me auspiciousness and showed that the Ming Dynasty will continue to grow."
"God will not fail me, and I will not fail the people of the world!"
"I want to open the Ancestral Temple and inform my ancestors."
This is business.
The courtiers shouted long live.
Zhu Qiyu needs the endorsement of all courtiers and the endorsement of the world's literati.
"The newspapers of all the ministers are doing well."
"After the court today, I will write a few poems about the four dragons approaching the court and publish them in the newspaper tomorrow."
"I want to see it."
How dare the courtiers say no?
Just blow it hard.
In the past, there must have been some literati who admired the emperor's bad feet and wanted to take advantage of the situation, but now the emperor doesn't like this and has blocked this road.
This matter is brought to an end for now.
Zhu Qiyu said sternly: "All the ministers must have read Xue Xuan's memorial."
"I want to move the Mencius Temple to Guangxi, change Jiangzhou to Mengzhou, and then open the Meng Sheng Academy. I will invite celebrities from all over the world to gather in Mengzhou and debate in the palace."
"I hope that a new saint will be born in Ming Dynasty."
The Kong family all moved away.
It was only a matter of time before the Meng family was moved away.
The problem is that Guangxi is not a good place.
"Your Majesty's heart is in Annan?" Yao Kui was the first to speak.
"It's not just Annan."
Zhu Qiyu stood up: "If Guangxi is the center, the five provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and Guangdong will surround Guangxi and make Guangxi the center."
"I will take back Jiaozhi, and then destroy Champa, Laos and other countries. Then I will use Mengzhou as the core to build a huge city and hold the south hostage."
"Don't worry about mountain roads. Annam, Laos, Champa and other countries have large populations, so just recruit their people to build roads."
"Even if I want to level a hundred thousand mountains, I can do it!"
Anyway, Zhu Qiyu didn't feel bad about exhausting those people to death, and then moved the Han people there. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
Yao Kui said: "Your Majesty, Ming Dynasty cannot do anything too obvious."
"What do you mean, Yao Qing?"
Yao Kui caressed his beard and said with a smile: "The Ming Dynasty is a kingdom in heaven, and it has never attempted to annex the weak. Therefore, small countries feel at ease, pay homage to the Ming Dynasty, and consider the Ming Dynasty as their suzerainty."
Keep your ambitions under control and don't let others see it.
"I have learned from Yao Qing's words."
Zhu Qiyu felt a little crazy: "After building the Mencius Temple, I want to exile a group of criminals to Guangxi..."
"Your Majesty!"
Yao Kui said loudly: "Guangxi is a land of mountains and mountains. It is definitely not a good place."
"These criminals commit crimes and crimes, and they are not good people."
"It's okay to go to Mobei. I have to rely on the court to thrive in Mobei."
"But if you go to Guangxi, there is the possibility of gathering people to cause trouble!"
"Previously, Jin Zhong, the eunuch admiral of Jin Yiwei, wrote to the central government. He had already moved some nobles from Jiangxi to populate Guangxi."
"I think this is the best thing."
"Filling Guangxi with people from the Central Plains can quickly localize Guangxi and spread culture at the same time."
"Your Majesty should not be stingy with the land and distribute it to the nobles in large quantities, and then build houses for them, so that they can fill in the local politics and reach out to the people."
After Guangxi removed the natives, it became a blank slate.
Yao Kui wanted to fill Guangxi with gentry and make Guangxi the next Jiangxi.
but.
This is the best way to immigrate, and also allows the hub to control Guangxi the fastest and most fully.
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Jin Zhong has done a good job. He not only wants to fill in Guangxi, but also Hunan, Guangdong, and even some people in Fujian as appropriate."
The gentry immigrated in great numbers, bringing their families, servants, servants, and property with them.
There were even escorts by officers and soldiers.
When ordinary people immigrate, they will definitely be harassed by officials and people, but when nobles immigrate, they must be worshiped by officials and soldiers.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
What Yao Kui meant was that criminals could move to the plains, but not to the mountains, which were prone to rebellion.
"Can some clan clans be filled in the vacant space in Jiangxi?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
Yao Kui objected for the same old reason.
"Your Majesty, there are still many refugees in the world. They can be transferred to Jiangxi and resettled as appropriate."
"Your Majesty can also encourage fertility and let the people have more children."
Having said this, Yao Kui knelt on the ground and took out a memorial from his sleeve pocket: "Old minister, please Your Majesty, issue an imperial edict to severely punish parents who drown and kill their baby girls!"
In Jiangxi, South Zhili, Zhejiang, and Fujian, drowning of female infants is very common.
"Bring it up!"
Zhu Qiyu's face was tense.
This is a memorial written by Peng Shi, the chief envoy of Zhejiang, describing the common phenomenon of female infanticide in the Jiangnan area.
"Destroying human relations! They are all beasts!"
Zhu Qiyu slapped the dragon case and threw it on the ground: "Read it!"
Eunuch Guo Yin read the memorial.
This kind of thing is a common phenomenon. The preference for boys over girls has existed since ancient times.
Ordinary families cannot afford to raise too many children, so they leave their daughters to keep their children and use limited money and food to support as many sons as possible.
Baby girls were drowned in large numbers.
When you dig into some mountain peaks, you will find corpses of babies everywhere, all of them female babies.
Taizu issued an imperial edict to rebuke this matter.
Emperor Taizong also issued an imperial edict.
However, the effect is very little, it should be drowned or drowned.
But they don't think about it. They all have sons and no one has daughters. So when the sons grow up, can they marry a wife?
The population structure is extremely irrational.
As a result, the bride price for daughters' families has skyrocketed, making it almost difficult for poor families to find a wife.
Zhu Qiyu dare not say that he advocates equality between men and women. He should at least give women the power to hold up half of the sky!
"Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. In my opinion, these people are worse than animals!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted sharply: "The Ministry of Punishment, add a law that if anyone is found to have drowned an infant, his father will have his face tattooed, and the whole family will immigrate to Guangxi!"
"Those who drown and kill baby girls have their faces tattooed with tattoos. I want to shame them!"
Aren't you patriarchal?
Just tattoo the word "female" on your face, and you will all be female!Tattoo all over the face!
Let’s see who dares to drown a baby girl!
"Your Majesty..." Yao Kui wanted to persuade.
"Don't persuade me!"
"They all think they are smart because they don't have daughters."
"Then they have never thought that their son will be able to marry a wife in the future?"
"It's useless to have so many sons if you can't get a wife!"
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "I said the bride price in Jiangnan has skyrocketed?"
"It turns out you have a young daughter. If it were me, I have a daughter at home and I don't have to worry about getting married. Why don't you raise the price?"
"In the past, the woman would accompany her with the dowry, but now she no longer does so. Even the bride's family has collected the bride price and will not take it back to her husband's family."
"Just like this, it's hard to find a girl!"
"Let me tell you, the world has been peaceful for so many years, why doesn't the population increase?"
"Jingtai's population in seven years was only over 5000 million."
"If the world has been at peace for a hundred years, why hasn't the population surged?"
"It started by drowning female infants!"
"I will issue a strict decree. Anyone who dares to commit a crime will be exiled! The word 'female' will be tattooed on their faces to shame them!"
Exile is fine, but tattooing would be too ugly.After all, it was his own daughter who was killed, so why should he commit a crime?
"Your Majesty, please calm down and listen to what I have to say."
Yao Kui whispered: "Dingkou is the foundation of the country, and it is very important."
"Nature is divided into yin and yang, and people are divided into male and female. This is the way of heaven and earth."
"If there are more men than women, it will naturally be difficult to find a wife, and the price of a wife will also increase accordingly."
"I think it is okay for His Majesty to punish him with exile, but he should not be tattooed. Going too far is not enough."
"And the exile must be exiled nearby."
"For example, people from Zhejiang were exiled to Fujian."
"The people of Fujian were exiled to Penghu."
"The people of Jiangxi are exiled to Guangdong and Guangxi."
"The people of Southern Zhili will fill the two lakes."
If they were all exiled to the southwest, they would probably rebel.
"Moreover, the exile lasts for three years."
"If you are willing to settle down locally, you can divide the land and houses."
"If you don't want to, return all your family property and return to your place of origin."
"At the same time, the court set up a nursery, and some girls who did not want to be raised were sent to the nursery, and the court spent money to support them."
Yao Kui is always steady and steady in his work.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him and realized that he was right in not killing him at first.
"Nursing homes should be established, and internal funds should be used to pay for them."
"I am worried that the place cannot raise children well, so I will send them all to the capital and open a place outside the palace for me to raise them."
"I also keep the girl."
"No matter how many people there are, I will pay to keep them. I will warn the local government that there should be no accidents when the babies are transported to Beijing."
Don’t think these kids are useless.
Especially girls, when they grow up, they will all be trained in the Jinyi Guards, trained to become spies, and then given marriages to the people of the world.
Used to spy on subjects.
Furthermore, it can also cultivate talents belonging to Zhu Qiyu. The benefits are not obvious now, but they will come in ten or eight years.
"Your Majesty is merciful."
Long live the courtier mountain.
Yao Kui wanted to persuade him. After all, raising so many people costs money.
But then I thought, the emperor has money, why should he keep it?It is better to let the emperor spend it and raise the baby, which is still a great good deed.
"Leave this matter to the Chief Secretary, Yao Qing will take charge."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Especially for nursing homes, a bureau can be set up under the Chief Secretary to be responsible for this matter."
"Old minister obeys!"
Yao Kui kowtowed and returned to his seat.
"My lords, in the past the court did not dare to encourage people to have children."
"Even scared."
"Because the chaos in all dynasties started with a large population and insufficient food."
"If the people don't have enough to eat, they will definitely rebel."
"So the court is afraid of too many people. Once it reaches a critical point, there will be a dynasty change."
To put it bluntly, the population exceeds the carrying capacity of the land.
Then they started fighting until the population collapsed and the dynasty changed.
More than 200 years have been a cycle of reincarnation.
If the court encourages births, this cycle will accelerate. In about 150 years, the population will reach a critical point and quickly collapse.
"But I'm not afraid."
"Because I have the Three Treasures in my hand, I can also buy food from abroad."
"I also want to expand the living space of the Han people."
"So, not only am I not afraid, I also need a large population."
"Only when the population is vast and abundant can the place be enriched, and only then can the new land be permanently occupied and turned into the territory of the Han people."
The problem is, populations always reach a tipping point.
The demise of the dynasty is certain.
The courtiers had no idea what the Industrial Revolution would bring.
Zhu Qiyu knew it.
If you have a son, you want your son to grow up healthily. You must develop modern medicine. The combination of modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine is the ultimate meaning of medicine.
Therefore, he wanted to speed up the process of the industrial revolution.
"Your Majesty, it is still unknown how much the Three Treasures can produce per acre."
"Furthermore, Guochao seeds are scarce and require a lot of time to verify."
"If the central government rashly encourages people to have children, if the Three Treasures are useless and the people's population increases, what will the country do?"
What Hu Xi said makes sense.
The yield per acre of the first-generation corn and how to popularize its cultivation are still unknown.
Optimistically, within ten years, it can be promoted nationwide.
However, it takes time for plants to adapt to the land and requires continuous improvement. This process cannot be ignored.
It would probably take 30 years to plant corn throughout the Ming Dynasty.
"What the old master said is true. What if I take back the land of Cochin? Will it be enough to increase the belly of 1000 million people?"
Zhu Qiyu did not consider the life and death of the Annan people at all.
"Your Majesty, if you collect all the land from Sanxuan and Liuwei, it should be enough." Hu Ming didn't think about it.
Gein Annan and other places are still in a wilderness state and have not been developed.
Like the Central Plains, it took more than 2000 years of development to reach its current scale. For example, the southwest and northeast have not been fully developed.
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Then let's give it up for now. It's just a matter of the baby girl, and the court must pay attention to it."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Hu Mi kowtowed.
The atmosphere at Fengtian Temple is relaxed.
The emperor and ministers discussed state affairs, and there were courtiers admonishing both inside and outside the palace, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
And in Jiangxi.
The Chen family's property analysis was completed, and more than 1700 million taels of silver were dug out.
This number scared Sha Hyun.
There is so much money hidden in the Chen family’s ancestral house!
If he were to search the house, he would definitely not be able to find out everything. The Chen family was very good at hiding money.
A total of 2500 million taels of silver.
The whole family was divided equally, and the moved family, the Chen family of Qinzhou, received 1250 million taels of silver.
When Jin Zhong received the news, he lost his voice and said, "How much money does the Chen family have? How much money should the Fei family of Qianshan have?"
"Sir, there must be more than the Chen family!"
Yan Fang clicked his tongue: "The Yu family and the Yang family both have more than 2000 million taels."
Jin Zhong was silent for a long time: "I really want to snatch it away and send it to the center. It is another great achievement."
Gollum!
Yan Fang swallowed: "Admiral, I am willing to break my body to pieces to do this humble job!"
"It's just what I said. As long as they complete the property division and family division within the specified time, there is no need to embarrass them."
Jin Zhong sighed: "Jin Yiwei also needs word of mouth."
"Then let's start on the road?" Yan Fang smirked.
Jin Zhong glanced at him: "Is Dang Jinyiwei a robber?"
"I know my fault for my humble position!" Yan Fang kowtowed.
"Tell the Chen family that they can be exchanged for silver notes."
"You can also pay the Jinyi Guards to escort them to Qinzhou, but the price will be high."
"If the Chen family agrees, just let Sha Xuan be responsible."
Jin Zhong suppressed his greedy thoughts and issued the order.
"Humble post obeys orders!"
Jin Zhonggang received a personal letter from the emperor, asking him to send Fei Fan to the capital, and also to send all Fei Fan's like-minded friends to the capital.
"Fei Fan, it is your honor to be valued by the Emperor."
Jin Zhong sipped the tea: "The Chen family has so much money. Seeing the money leave makes me feel uncomfortable."
The matter in Guangxin Mansion has come to an end.
Jinyiwei collected a total of 1200 million taels of confessional silver, and when Zhang Shan came back, he would be sent to the center by Zhang Shanjie.
The next stop is Jianchang Mansion.
And in southern Zhili.
In April, Princess Hanshan fell ill.
Wang Hong did not dare to disturb him, but took charge of government affairs in various ministries in Nanjing. When he came to Nanjing Zhili, he also had the responsibility of supervising Nanjing officials.
After he was off duty, he often visited Zhang Feng's mansion.
Zhang Feng had only been in Nanzhili for a few months, but he was already much older.
Full of ambition, but nowhere to act.
The forces in Southern Zhili are complex. As long as he does something, he will be restricted everywhere. If he doesn't do something, he will not be able to complete the tasks assigned to him by the emperor.
This is the most difficult place in the world to supervise.
Looking up at Shandong, Zhu Ying worked hard with Xiang Zhong to organize Shandong in an orderly manner.
Last year, Shandong resettled 14 people and cultivated countless fertile fields.
Spring has just begun this year, and more than 30 people have been resettled. The spring plowing has ended, and the new people have gone to the capital and Rehe to work. Shandong has become rich.
Zhu Ying was in charge of political affairs, and Xiang Zhong was in charge of military affairs.
Xiang Zhong suppressed bandits day by day. In one year, he expanded his army to 6, captured 74 bandits, and released nearly one million people.
Xiang Zhong even organized a navy of [-] to repel Japanese pirates once in offshore waters.
All bandits in Shandong have been wiped out.
As many as 30 people were moved from Shandong to Rehe and Liaoning. They were all unruly bandits and they were all sent out of Shandong.
Zhu Ying continued to resettle the population, allocating houses and land to make them settle down.
The two work together perfectly.
Received several commendations from the central government.
However, Zhu Ying was too greedy for power, squeezed his colleagues, and bossed around his colleagues. As a result, Shandong officials often wrote to the emperor, and the censor even accused Zhu Ying of wanting to rebel and become self-reliant.
But the emperor laughed it off.
Zhu Ying was fully responsible for Shandong, and Xiang Zhong was in charge of the army. They complemented each other.
Take another look at yourself.
I have been in Nanzhili for so long, but I have done nothing.
Zhang Feng sighed.
"Ziyi (Zhang Feng's courtesy name), you are already very good at sorting out the officialdom of Southern Zhili." Wang Hong advised him.
Zhang Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Gongdu (also known as Wang Hong), there is no need to help me. My abilities are indeed limited, and I am just relying on the emperor's favor."
He is a talented person in the household department, and he is more than capable of controlling household registration, land and so on.
Let him take charge of one side and supervise one side, and his ability is indeed limited.
The problem is that he is the most suitable person to govern Southern Zhili.
He is a cabinet minister, a confidant of the emperor, and at the same time he is Yu Qian's friend. He has a close relationship with Hu Hui. It would be a waste of time for such a person to be placed in the cabinet.
The governor's ability is limited.
"His Majesty has sent eunuch Wang Cheng to Nanzhili to take charge of the army in the Five Prefectures."
Zhang Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Ren Li is the commander of the remaining division of Zhongdu."
"Brother Gongdu, what do you think His Majesty means?"
Wang Hong smiled bitterly: "What else could it mean? You are dissatisfied with me. I have been in Nanzhili for so long and I still can't move."
"Your Majesty wants to see the actual results, and the Central Committee wants to see the results."
"I haven't done anything yet."
"So, your Majesty sent troops to supervise Southern Zhili. This is to support me."
"Let me kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and force me to go on a killing spree."
Wang Hong wants to be Jia Xu, not Zhang Song.
Zhang Song will not end well.
Zhang Feng shook his head: "Brother Gongdu, think about it, the Yin family is not even afraid of making secret spies known to the public. What are they hiding?"
"Sea boat!"
Wang Hong also understood the case: "In the case of the disappearance of the ship that Zheng He sailed to the West, I estimate that the ship was corrupted by the Yin family."
"That's right, the Yin family has embezzled the ships, so Princess Hanshan is hiding the whereabouts of the ships."
Zhang Feng took a sip of tea and said, "His Majesty's heart is all over the world, and this sea-going ship is what he wants. Therefore, the purpose of sending troops to South Zhili is sea-going ships."
Wang Hong's pupils shrank: "Your Majesty wants to open the sea?"
"It's not necessarily about opening the sea, it's just about looking for sea ships."
Zhang Feng put down the tea cup and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty's actions may seem reckless, but they actually have deep meaning. Don't you think that some people in the court have disappeared?"
Wang Hong frowned: "Are you talking about Liang Yue?"
Zhang Feng nodded.
Liang Yue was the emperor's confidant, but he was not involved in many wars.
Even the emperor never mentioned this man.
He is not in court either.
There was a rumor in the court that he was guarding the Kong family in Gaizhou.
However, the Kong family sent a message saying that they had not seen Liang Yue, that there were no troops stationed in Gaizhou, and that the Kong family could come and go freely.
But Liang Yun disappeared out of thin air.
"Ziyi, you mean that His Majesty is secretly supervising the construction of sea ships?" Wang Hong felt that this matter was too big.
"must."
Zhang Feng thought he knew the emperor very well.
Although the emperor tried his best to hide his intention to open the sea, he could not hide it from those who had the intention.
If you want to expand your territory, money can only come from the sea. Emperor Taizong has proved that this is a feasible way.
The emperor was familiar with the records, so it was impossible for him not to know.
Wang Hong slumped on the chair: "Then, is it a false shot that I sent here?"
Zhang Feng nodded.
Wang Hong recalled that when he was sent to the capital, the emperor's face was filled with anger.
If you think about it carefully, the emperor is getting angry on the surface, but he is not angry in his heart. He is really angry when he is silent.
"Brother Gongdu, I and you are both His Majesty's lackeys. There is no other choice."
Zhang Feng reminded him: "All seven concubines in the harem are pregnant. We have no way out."
In the past, it could be said that the emperor had no sons, and their future wealth had nowhere to rely on.
But now, the emperor has a son.
If they still have double-minded intentions, they are ulterior motives and are inconsistent with their ideals and ambitions in governing the country and the family.
"But your Majesty doesn't believe us!" Wang Hong had no choice. He beat Ma Shun to death. The Japanese prince hated him the most.
"Brother Gongdu, from your point of view, no one in your majesty believes it."
Zhang Feng said: "But from another perspective, you and I want to be famous ministers who will be remembered in history, not His Majesty's loyal dogs. It's not a bad thing to not trust him."
Wang Hong offered tea instead of wine and toasted Zhang Feng: "Ziyi, what do you think I should do next?"
"kill!"
Zhang Feng spat out one word: "Kill Nanzhili until the blood flows like a river!"
Wang Hong's pupils shrank and he smiled bitterly: "Then I have no way out."
"Brother Gongdu, from the moment you came to Nanzhili, there was no way out. If you were thinking about the way out, you shouldn't have come in the first place."
This is the truth.
Wang Hong also understood that the emperor wanted a sea ship. Even if the Yin family relented, what about the people behind the Yin family?Will they relent?
Therefore, Wang Hong had to go on a killing spree to make Nanzhili fearful.
"Then Chen Wuyang has resentment in his heart and is ruthless in doing things, regardless of the consequences. Let's use it." Zhang Feng reminded him again.
Wang Hong stood up and bowed deeply.
As for Chen Wuyang, he is recovering from his injuries recently.
When Wang Hong came, he was timid. He was too idle and unwilling to associate with civil servants, so he lived in the Qinglou.
Fan Qing was interrogating the boy selling lanterns.
Even if he was tortured, he wouldn't do it.
He just said that he was short of money and went to Yin Mansion to steal things.
"What is your relationship with Yang Fuyin?"
Fan Qing interrogated him: "If my guess is correct, you and Yang Xuan know each other."
"You smell like the sea, and you have calluses on your hands. You're probably tired from working, right?"
"I give you one last chance, don't be ignorant."
The boy selling lanterns has not slept for four days.
As long as he closed his eyes, Fanzi would prick him with a needle.
"I'm just a lantern seller, what kind of identity do I have?" He just didn't want to do it.
"Are you from Hunhai?"
"These calluses are also ground out with a knife. Look at the calluses on my hands. Are they similar to the calluses on your hands?"
Fan Qing raised his palm: "I have been holding a knife all year round, so I have calluses."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything now. Anyway, I have a lot of time. Let's take our time and play."
"Don't let him close his eyes, let him keep moving, and beat him if he stops."
Prevent him from sleeping with his eyes open.
"what!"
As soon as Fan Qing finished speaking, the young man selling lanterns screamed. An embroidery needle pierced his ribs, and then he pulled it out, bringing out a bloody flower.
"I'm in the maritime business..."
"nonsense!"
Fan Qing shouted: "Look at where it looks like a business?"
"Hit him!"
"As long as he lies, prick him, put the needle in, and don't pull it out!"
The young man looked at the blood-stained silver needle with a look of horror on his face: "I'm just a little guy who makes a living at sea!"
admitted.
is a pirate.
Fan Qing approached him: "Then what is your relationship with Yang Xuan?"
"The leader wants to do business with Yang Fuyin."
He recruited them all.
Their pirates are entrenched on Chongming Island, and their boss is called Sha Defeng.
Because Guangzhou has strict regulations and Fujian is also in Jinghai, goods are not allowed to enter the sea, so I want to transport a batch of goods from South Zhili.
This batch of goods was shipped from Jiangxi and passed through South Zhili.
You need to go through official procedures, and then go to the sea from Haimen and go to Chongming to go to the sea.
Fan Qing's eyes flickered: "What kind of goods?"
"I don't know about this. The boss asked me to deliver the letter, establish a good relationship with Yang Fuyin, and then get in touch."
"Will Sha Defeng send others into Jinling City?"
Fan Qing suddenly asked.
The young man said he didn't know.
Fan Qing calculated that it had been about seven or eight days since he was arrested. It would be difficult for Li Daitao to use his identity to contact Sha Defeng.
No, how could a maritime merchant follow Yang Xuan's path?
You should take the Yin family's route.
"Are you deceiving me?" Fan Qing deceived him.
He even said it was unfair.
puff!
The embroidery needle pierced his ribs and slapped it hard until it was buried in his ribs. He kept screaming: "Spare my life! What I said is all the truth!"
"Continue piercing!"
The young man selling lanterns was stunned. He was not tortured before I tried to recruit him, but after I recruited him, he was tortured instead.
After interrogating him for another half an hour, he was already dying.
Fan Qing was almost certain that what he said was true.
Then there are two possibilities. First, the goods transported are bulk goods and must go through Yang Xuan before they can be shipped out.
Secondly, the boy selling lanterns didn't know the real plan, he just made a false shot.
Fan Qing was in a dilemma.
At this time, the emperor's secret decree was sent into his hands.
