Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king
Chapter 273: Slave Release Order, Han’er will no longer be a slave!
Chapter 273: Slave Release Order, Han’er will no longer be a slave!
"Sir, wait a minute!"
Hu Zhao chased after him, and Sha Xuan walked in front, going faster and faster.
Sha Xuan: Don’t listen to the bastard chanting sutras.
Hu Zhao: What does the matter of the eldest house have to do with me? I am almost exhausted.
In the city of Nanchang.
The Hu family, who had always kept a low profile, actually chased the Jin Yiwei from the east to the west of the city.
Hu Zhao fell down from exhaustion long ago and was chased while being carried on a stretcher.
The whole city of Nanchang knew about it.
It didn't take long for rumors to spread in Nanchang Mansion that Hu Yan's descendants had no backbone and bowed to the slaves of the Jin Yiwei.
The Hu family's reputation will be affected.
Sha Xuan was also so tired that his legs felt like lead. He didn't mean to lead Hu Zhao all over the city, but he was thinking of ways to save himself.
He, Sha Xuan, couldn't do a good job in cleaning up the Hu family, so he would definitely lose Jin Zhong's trust.
"Mr. Hu, would you like to lend me your head?"
While taking a rest in the cool air, Sha Hyun suddenly approached Hu Zhao who was lying on the stretcher.
Hu Zhao's expression changed sharply: "Sir."
"I, the Hu family, will never dare to obstruct Jin Yiwei from handling the case."
"You can check whatever you want."
"I asked you to go to Hu's house to investigate. You can investigate whoever you want."
He climbed up from the stretcher, approached Sha Xuan, and said straight to the point: "Admiral Jin's treatment of my Hu family is just because he thinks my Hu family is an eyesore."
"My Hu family is willing to pay 10 taels of silver to plead guilty."
"Then the whole family stayed behind closed doors to think about their mistakes. The whole day that Admiral Jin was in Jiangxi, the Hu family didn't go out."
"What do you think?"
This is a private grant and a private negotiation of terms.
Sha Xuan looked at his face: "Your head is more practical."
Hu Zhao burst into tears: "Although it is my wish to accompany my late father, it is of no benefit to you..."
"Speak in human language!" Sha Xuan didn't understand.
Hu Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Then make sure people don't tell secret stories."
"Admiral Jin sent you here to investigate the arms case, but in fact it is to investigate the smuggling case."
"The Hu family has some connections in Nanchang Mansion and will help you get to the bottom of this. The Hu family is also willing to take the initiative to pay the confession money."
"Our Hu family is also willing to split into two teams, one to go to Guangxi and the other to Hunan."
"In this way, Admiral Jin will see your ability to do things and will naturally promote you."
"And the Hu family is willing to give you the filial piety you deserve."
At the mention of money, Sha Hyun's eyes lit up.
But this money can't be spent without life.
He thought of all the ways to save himself, but none seemed to work.
"Tell me something you don't like to hear."
"The Hu family's disciples and old officials are all over the world. You can force the Hu family to bow their heads temporarily, but what are the consequences?"
"Think about it, is Admiral Jin really willing to bear the consequences once you die?"
Hu Zhao's tone was full of temptation: "Why don't you investigate for now and send a speedboat to Hukou to report to Admiral Ming Jin. Nanchang is only two days' journey from Hukou, so it won't take long."
Sa Hyun was really moved.
but!
Does he have a choice?
He thought about it for several hours, but he didn't even think about where his way of survival would be.
It is better to die happily and secure a future for my son!
puff!
Sha Xuan suddenly pulled out his waist knife and struck Hu Zhao in the chest.
Then, he stepped on Hu Zhao's chest and cut off Hu Zhao's head.
The Hu family's retinue realized later and surrounded Sha Xuan. They did not dare to do anything to Sha Xuan because he was a royal guard.
If they dare to draw swords on Jin Yiwei, they are rebelling!
Sha Xuan knew he would die, so he was waiting for the Hu family to hack him to death. The Hu family drew their swords, and he promised not to resist.
As a result, the Hu family's followers were not fools, and no one moved.
Not only the Hu family's servants were confused, but the Jinyi guards were also confused. Sha Xuan was leading him to death.
"Let's go to Hu's house!"
From the moment he killed Hu Zhao, Sha Xuan had no choice.
And the news reached the Governor's Mansion.
Ma Jin was startled: "Is this Sha Xuan crazy?"
"broken!"
"Jin Zhong wants to cleanse Jiangxi with blood. He can't wait any longer."
Could it be that the emperor was impatient because the Jiangxi blockade lasted too long?
Ma Jin is based in Jiangxi. As we all know, Jiangxi is complicated and difficult to supervise.
Jin Zhong proposed a confession silver project, and there was strong opposition at first.
He believed that Jinyiwei ignored the vision of livelihood and forcibly seized the people's anointing, and even scolded the emperor.
But in Guangxin Mansion, Jin Zhong forced the big families to split their property. Although Jin Yiwei didn't need a penny, it gave hope to the common people. The common people in each big family were not very obedient.
All the families in Jiangxi immediately shut up and thought it would be a good idea to pay the confession money.
However, Jin Zhong changed his strategy again.
Ma Jin hesitated now. If he went to the Hu family again, it would be equivalent to siding with Hu Yan. Jin Zhong would not do anything to him, but what would the emperor sitting in the Fengtian Palace think?
He was promoted from the grassroots level only because of His Majesty's discernment and important responsibilities. It was His Majesty's kindness that allowed him to oversee a province at such a young age.
No one believes him if he is not an imperialist.
Therefore, he cannot betray his own class.
"Come on, prepare the chariots and horses!"
Ma Jin stood up: "Yang Xin captured more than [-] refugees in Jianchang Mansion. I, the governor, will personally resettle the refugees. All reports from Jiangxi will be sent to Jianchang Mansion."
He didn't dare to stay in Nanchang Mansion any longer.
Simply leave Nanchang Mansion and go with Jin Zhong.
And Sha Xuan came to Hu's house carrying Hu Zhao's head.
Put the knife on Hu Xi's neck.
Investigate arms smuggling cases.
The news had reached Hukou, and Jin Zhong had a look of satisfaction on his face: "Sha Xuan sacrificed his life for justice, and the governor plans to adopt his two sons and one daughter as adopted children, as a token of his kindness."
"Yan Fang, this governor is personally in charge of Nanchang Mansion!"
"You are in charge of Jiujiang Mansion!"
"All families, according to the size of the family's industry, must pay double the amount of the guilty plea, regardless of the reason!"
"Then the family was divided into three lines. One line moved to Hunan, one line moved to Guangxi, and one lineage stayed in the local area."
"This governor will send a few more people to Ruizhou Prefecture, Yuanzhou Prefecture, Linjiang Prefecture, and Fuzhou Prefecture to implement the same standards!"
"Within three months, the confession money will be delivered to the capital without any delay!"
That's right.
Jin Zhong received the emperor's secret order and urged him to take action quickly.
He has already cleaned up Raozhou Prefecture, Ji'an Prefecture and Guangxin Prefecture, and half of Jianchang Prefecture has been cleared.
Wait until these houses are cleaned up.
He will personally take charge of Ganzhou Prefecture, and then clean up Ganzhou Prefecture, Jianchang Prefecture and Nan'an Prefecture.
This year, before the river freezes, it must all be plowed.
"Admiral, what about the Hu family..." Yan Fang asked cautiously.
"Now that you've done it, you have to do it!"
Jin Zhong's eyes were sharp: "Leave one as an offering to Hu Yan and kill the rest!"
"However, we must collect all the evidence and we cannot let the central government find faults."
As for whether the descendants of Hu Yan are guilty or not.
it is not important.
Jinyiwei wants to use the Hu family to cleanse the entire Nanchang Mansion, and then clean the north of Jiangxi.
Cut the mess with a quick knife.
Jin Zhong boarded the ship, quickly wrote a report on the ship and sent it out of Jiangxi.
By the time Zhu Qiyu received the report from Jin Zhong, it was already late June.
The Hu Yan family was executed for unfounded reasons, causing an uproar in both the government and the public.
Many officials petitioned the emperor to depose the factory guards and severely punish Jin Zhong and Chen Wuyang.
The people even lost control. Various newspapers insulted Jin Zhong and cursed Jin Yiwei. Jin Yiwei everywhere was not having a good time.
Even the Dongchang, Du Zhijian, and patrol camps also ate Gua Luoer.
"Jin Zhong, you can cause trouble for me."
Zhu Qiyu now has a harmonious relationship with his courtiers. It is a time when the monarch and his ministers are working together to carry out construction, but Jin Zhong has caused trouble for him.
The courtiers lost their sense of security.
Hu Yan was a famous minister, and the descendants of famous ministers were liquidated by the emperor.
Can you prevent the ministers in Fengtian Palace from being frightened?
This kind of thing has set a precedent. Who will do better in the future?
Even Hu Hui no longer supported the emperor.
"How's the silver coin exchange going?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked.
"Back to the emperor, the silver coins brought to the shop every day were sold out as soon as they were released. Now the supply of silver coins exceeds the demand."
Feng Xiao didn't understand, what was the relationship between gold loyalty and silver coins?
"How much silver is brought into the capital from Jiangxi?"
Feng Xiao understood that without Jin Zhong supplying silver, there would be no way to issue silver coins.
"Although Chen Wuyang is guilty, how much money did Nanzhili send?"
After Wang Hong killed Cheng Tong in Fengtian Hall.
This water transport brings money every day.
Nowadays, the warehouses of the household department and internal funds are piled with mountains of money.
According to the secret notes of Jin Zhong and Wang Hong.
A total of three hundred million taels of silver can be obtained.
How much money does Ming Dynasty have in total?
"Your Majesty, those scholars outside don't know the difficulties in the court." Feng Xiao said cautiously.
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Since they don't know suffering, let them suffer."
"Go and bring the courtiers."
Feng Xiao kowtowed and immediately went to announce it.
At this time, all the important ministers of the cabinet were working in the palace. After hearing the edict, they immediately entered the Yangxin Hall.
Hu Hui recovered as good as ever and began to deal with government affairs again.
However, Yu Qian was not in good health, so the emperor ordered him to take a rest for any time.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty!" Hu Hui and others knelt down to salute.
Zhu Qiyu slowly raised his head: "You still know that I am the emperor?"
The courtier's heart skipped a beat. In order to protect your loyalty, you wouldn't do this, right?
"I thought I had forgotten all about it?"
"Your Majesty, you are the Emperor. Even if I forget who I am, I will not dare to forget your identity!" Hu Hui smiled bitterly.
Yao Kui huddled in the back, it's up to you, old lady, to take the lead.
"Jin Zhong arrested Hu Yan's descendants, and the world's literati stabbed me in the back. How is this?"
Zhu Qiyu said unhappily: "What does Jin Zhong's crime have to do with me?"
"Do you think my sword is dangerous? Or do you think I am a weak king?"
"You just want to scold me?"
Jin Zhong is your slave, and he represents you in every word and deed. If he makes a mistake, of course he will come to you.
"Your Majesty, please listen to the old minister!"
Hu Xi smiled bitterly: "I don't say whether what Admiral Jin did was right or wrong."
"I will only talk about the achievements of Duke Hu first."
"Your Majesty cares about all the people and wants everyone in the world to be able to study. He plans to invest a lot of money in the central government to establish education."
"And Mr. Hu was a pioneer in education and a model in the teachings."
"Your Majesty is now angry with the intellectuals of the world and speaks out for the descendants of Duke Hu."
"Isn't this just how people in the past planted trees and people in the future can enjoy the shade? It is precisely because Hu Gong taught all the people that the candles will turn to ashes before the tears dry up, so they can get a lot of help from Taoism."
What Hu Yan means is that if the emperor wants to attach importance to education, he must set up a signboard for education, and Hu Yan is a gold-lettered signboard.
However, Jin Zhong tore up Jin Zi's signboard because of small profits.
Isn't it right to be reviled?
"Then Hu Zhao and Hu Xi, who forge ordnance and sell it to outsiders, can such people escape the blame? Just because his father-in-law is Hu Yan?"
Zhu Qiyu put the shit basin on first.
Hu Hu rolled his eyes. This is because you are cheating. If Jin Zhong really comes up with evidence, the government and the public will not be upset.
The key is that Jin Zhong had no evidence, so he just killed someone.
This is breaking the rules, so everyone is in danger.
"My lords, do you know how much silver Jin Zhong will transport to the center this year?" Zhu Qiyu saw that the ministers were not satisfied and directly discussed the interests.
"Your Majesty, don't lose people's hearts because of small profits!"
Yao Kui said loudly: "Admiral Jin has indeed solved the urgent needs of the country, but the king of heaven and earth, his relatives and teachers, are the foundation of the country."
"If you give up your fundamentals for small profits, and people will no longer follow you, how will the great tomorrow survive in the future?"
His words aroused the support of the courtiers.
Money is important, but "righteousness" is even more important.
"One hundred million taels of silver is just a small profit in Yao Qing's words. Then why don't you go and get this money for me?"
Zhu Qiyu said sadly: "How much does the Ming Dynasty tax revenue earn per year?"
"Raising troops and building cities, radically controlling the Yellow River, reforming the currency system, what can be done without money?"
"If you don't have money, Yao Kui, tell me, what can I do?"
"Your Majesty, I did not say that money is not important, but that justice is more important!" Yao Kui felt that the emperor was secretly changing his concept.
Zhu Qiyu is stubborn: "Hu Yan is the teacher of many people and a famous minister of his generation."
"But does his reputation allow his descendants to do whatever they want?"
"If this is the case, Yang Shiqi should not have returned to his hometown as an official. His son just killed someone in his hometown. What does it mean?"
It's crooked again.
"Your Majesty, these are two different things." Yao Kui smiled bitterly.
"I think it's the same thing."
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "If Jin Zhong can't produce evidence, I will immediately order his execution. If evidence is produced, Hu Yan will confiscate his family and exterminate his clan!"
The courtier was suddenly startled.
The emperor's fundamental purpose is to deal with Hu Yan's descendants?
No, what benefits can the emperor gain from dealing with Hu Zhao and others?
The emperor's purpose is...literati!
"The people are open-minded. After reading and knowing how to read, they do not serve the country, but instead insult the king and father like a coward!"
"I think it's against the grain!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "They are alive because my ancestors established the Ming Dynasty and allowed their ancestors to live! They can read, and it is me who protected them and gave them a good life!"
"What happened? Instead of working hard for me, you secretly scolded me?"
"Don't you think I can kill people?"
The emperor's goal is to be a scholar in the world!
When civil servants fought against imperial power, they relied not only on the power in their hands, but also on the mouths of the world's literati!
The mouths of intellectuals in the world will always occupy the moral high ground.
Regardless of whether the emperor did something right or wrong, as long as they offended them, they could spray the emperor to death with spitting stars and turn him into a dog.
Zhu Qiyu has always taken power.
But the literati's mouths cannot be closed. After all, one cannot cut off everyone's tongues if they have someone else's mouth, right?
"Your Majesty, calm down!" The courtiers were horrified.
In fact, Zhu Qiyu is strong, and civil servants are not desperate, because Zhu Qiyu is not immortal and will die sooner or later.
As long as civil servants don’t lose their pen, they don’t lose the mouth of the world’s literati.
Once Zhu Qiyu dies, the civilian clique will take power again.
Imperial power cannot suppress the lips and tongues of the people in the world.
"I can't calm down my anger!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "Pass the decree that the patrol camp will be renamed Black Ice Terrace, and the official position will remain unchanged."
"Heibingtai controls the world's rumors."
"Once it is discovered that any scholar insults the emperor and father, he will... go to the frontier to serve for three years."
"I am not a cruel king. I will not execute them, nor will I deprive them of their qualifications to participate in the imperial examination. I just want to control their foul mouth."
"Let the literati in the world stop sitting at home and relying solely on their imaginations and talking nonsense! They don't know the sufferings of the people and the sufferings on the frontiers!"
"They are ordered to go to the border to guard the border. They can participate in major military and political affairs, serve as staff, serve as grassroots officers, and serve as grassroots officials. There are no restrictions."
"Let them go and see how easy it is for me as a king and father!"
"Look at how difficult it is for the people of Ming Dynasty!"
"Don't just grow a mouth and spit out feces all in one day!"
The courtiers were frightened.
Later it turned into ecstasy.
This is to expand the power of civilians.
If a literati went to the frontiers to practice for three years, to serve as a general's staff, or to go deep into the grassroots level, he would not only gain fame, but also participate in actual politics.
In this way, the court will have an additional number of available ministers.
At the same time, the authority of the literati also expanded.
This is not a punishment, this is a reward!
and many more!
This is a system imitated by the Tang Dynasty. Many literati in the Tang Dynasty went to serve as aides under the Jiedushi envoys in the feudal towns. Could it be that the emperor was dissatisfied with the generals and wanted to add sand to the ranks of the generals?
Use words to suppress force?
"Your Majesty is wise!" The courtiers were all good people and immediately saw the benefits.
"Listen to me."
The ministers were looking at the emperor, and the emperor was also looking at the ministers. He said coldly: "These people are only given one chance. If there is a second chance, I will be quartered, and my family will be demoted to the rank of craftsman, and they will never be allowed to take the imperial examination!"
"Your Majesty has given the sinners a chance. If they still don't repent, they should be dealt with again!" Geng Jiuchou stood on the emperor's side and spoke.
Yao Kui was about to speak but stopped when Wang Fu winked at him.
Just click here, don’t say more.
"My lords, if there are people who refuse to change despite repeated admonitions, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Many families in Jiangxi have split their wealth. According to the report from Jin Yiwei, these families are actually richer than me."
"But they were so unkind because of their wealth that they refused to help the village, and they did not build bridges or build roads. In fact, there were more than [-] refugees in Jianchang Prefecture. Most of these refugees refused to be tenants and ran away to become refugees."
"Tell me, who stole their fields?"
The courtier did not answer.
"I say for you, this is the person you are protecting."
"I know what you are thinking."
"It's nothing more than beating me to death, and the civil servants will raise their heads again. After all, you have not broken your bones. In order to expand the power of the Han people, I will continue to expand your power and increase your strength."
"While I am alive, you curl up."
"But when I die, the imperial power will be lost."
Can you say this casually?
The courtiers were so frightened that they kept kowtowing.
"No need to explain, I see clearly."
Zhu Qiyu was helpless.
This is a problem of the system and the people's hearts.
From the moment Emperor Taizong re-employed civil servants, he was doomed to have civil servants chaos in government.
The Han people are very fond of fighting among themselves. The literati fought against the warriors, and the emperor fought against the clan. When the warriors were gone, the literati continued to fight against each other and never stopped.
"But have you ever thought about it?"
"You and I will steer the ship of Ming Dynasty together."
"Sooner or later, this ship will sink. When the ship sinks, do you want to find a new owner? Or do you want to repair it and continue to maintain the ship?"
This is a heartbreaking question.
Anyone who dares to say that he wants a new master must naturally show his loyalty.
"What I can do is make this ship sail longer."
Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "I plowed the Qing Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, and also divided the wealthy families. Why?" "It is not to reduce land annexation, make the people fair, resettle more refugees, expand the living space of the Han people, make the court clear and clear, and the common people Live better.”
"It's just to keep the ship moving."
"Ha ha."
"When my ship sinks and a new ship is replaced, will they be able to reuse you?"
"You are only human when you are under my command; if you change your master, can you still be human?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "Yao Kui, tell me!"
"I am loyal to Your Majesty and have a deep love for the Ming Dynasty. I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep the ship of the Ming Dynasty sailing normally." Yao Kui kowtowed.
"But you're protecting the rats on this ship."
"They are eating my ship, sucking the blood of the Ming Dynasty, and digging out the roots of the Ming Dynasty!"
"How much money does your Yao Kui family have?"
"Do you have tens of millions of taels of silver?"
"But their family has it. It's not just one family or two families. Many wealthy families in Jiangxi have hundreds of millions of taels of silver in their families!"
"Where did they get so much money?"
"Where did it come from!"
"Did you save it? I am the sixth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How much money do I have in my hand?"
"How did it come about? Can you explain it to me?"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly roared: "Shouldn't such a person be killed? Shouldn't he be exterminated to death?"
"There are tens of millions of refugees in the world!"
"What will they do if they don't even have enough to eat? Rebellion! They have to rebel just to fill their stomachs!"
"But these people have millions or tens of millions of taels of silver at home!"
"If they allocate some money and give the people a full meal, will the world be in chaos?"
"Are you using me as a tyrant to kill people?"
“Will the Ming ship sink?”
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were fierce: "My lords, what will I do if the ship of the Ming Dynasty sinks? I can die, but how can I face my ancestors?"
"Emperor Taizu scolded me, how should I respond?"
"Emperor Taizong asked me, how should I describe myself?"
"Tell me how I want to tell my great-grandfather, my great-grandfather, my grandfather, and my father! Tell the Holy Lords of all generations that I am incompetent and have lost my ancestors!"
"I do not want to be the king of the country's subjugation!"
"You have no face to be the king of a subjugated country!"
"Then you tell me, what should I do?"
Zhu Qiyu slowly stood up and stood in front of Hu Hui: "I say, Jin Zhong killed right! He killed well!"
"Whoever dares to let me be the king of the country's subjugation, I will let the ten tribes perish!"
The courtiers were frightened.
This matter has actually risen to the level of subjugating the country, which shows that this matter cannot be discussed, and the emperor will not listen to anyone's opinions.
"deliver an imperial order!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "All large households in Jiangxi, those with a household property of one thousand taels of silver and more than ten people, must be divided!"
"Based on real population."
"Including women, there are less than ten people in Dingkou. They are divided into two families. One family will stay in the place of origin and the other will immigrate to Guangxi."
"For those with ten to 20 people in Dingkou, they will be divided into three households. One household will stay in its original place, one will immigrate to Hunan, and one will immigrate to Guangxi."
"Those with 20 to 30 people in Dingkou will be divided into four households. One household will stay in their place of origin, one will immigrate to Hunan, one will immigrate to Guangxi, and one will immigrate to Guangdong."
"Those with a Dingkou of 30 to 40 people will be divided into five households. One household will stay in the original place, one will immigrate to Hunan, one will immigrate to Guangxi, one will immigrate to Guangdong, and one will immigrate to Fujian."
It keeps increasing and is divided into six households, seven households, eight households and so on.
Add Guizhou, Yunnan, and Gansu.
"After the number of households is divided, the property must be divided and the family property should be divided equally. Jin Yiwei is responsible for supervision. As long as the confession silver is paid, Jin Yiwei is not allowed to take a needle or a thread!"
Zhu Qiyu is an immigrant, not to swallow up all his family property.
As long as the family property is divided equally between the direct lineage and the concubine lineage, no matter how large the family property is, it will be broken into pieces, and then they will be immigrated, and everyone will become a small family.
This is the safest way. If he really wants to divide the land among the rich, his throne will not be secure.
None of the courtiers dared to persuade him, and they could not do so.
“After immigration, the land will be redistributed!”
"Those who are still living in their families among the millions of refugees cleared out in Jiangxi will be sent back to their place of origin, their land will be equally divided, and they will be exempted from taxes for five years."
"Those who have no family can move to Guangdong or Fujian, divide more acres of land and build houses, and they will be exempted from taxes for ten years."
Jiangxi really doesn’t clean up and I don’t know.
Yang Xin cleared out nearly 30 refugees in Raozhou Prefecture and Guangxin Prefecture, more than [-] refugees in Jianchang Prefecture, and more than [-] refugees in Ganzhou Prefecture.
Including the refugees in other prefectures, the number has exceeded 100 million.
These people do not have black households in their household registration.
"The decree was sent to Ma Jin that in the winter, they must be properly settled and the land is settled. The government will give them seeds and lend them a sum of grain. They will pay it back in installments after they have planted the land."
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Tell Ma Jin that anyone who dares to stop him will be killed with my Emperor's Sword!"
"The relocated Jiangxi people must be properly resettled when they arrive in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, and Fujian."
"This year's Beijing inspection will regard this as the most important performance review."
According to reports from the two capitals and seventeen provinces this year, more than 100 million refugees have been cleared out.
Currently, the majority are in Hubei, Hunan and Shandong.
However, according to Wang Cheng's memorial, the largest number of refugees was estimated to be in Southern Zhili. He estimated that there were more than 200 million to 300 million refugees in Southern Zhili.
These refugees also include tenants who have lost their household registration.
The population statistics of the Ming Dynasty do not include tenants.
Zhu Qiyu estimated that there are more than [-] million people living in the Ming Dynasty.
This frightened him greatly.
There are 5000 million people without household registration and tens of millions of refugees. If these people rebel, the world will collapse in an instant.
What frightened him even more was that the Ming Dynasty had a lot of people but little land, so he had never felt that food was in short supply before.
As a result, only after counting the population did we know that the Ming Dynasty was in a serious food crisis. It must urgently solve the food problem, otherwise the huge population of the Ming Dynasty would be a powder keg.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
None of the courtiers expected that the angry emperor would end up talking about political affairs.
A little caught off guard.
"I am not a saint at all. If I were a saint, how could there be refugees everywhere?"
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "There are more than 1000 million refugees. I am covered in cold sweat while sitting in the Fengtian Palace."
"You are still defending Hu Yan!"
"Is he wronged?"
"How many of the more than 1000 million refugees in Jiangxi are due to the Hu family?"
"This is alive, how many more are dead?"
"How much blood debt is there on the Hu family's head? Has it been settled?"
"If these are made public, it won't be an exaggeration for me to dig up Hu Yan's grave!"
The courtier's face turned bitter. Anyway, when you open your mouth, whoever you say is good will be good, and whoever you say is bad will be bad.
“Aren’t those literati moral gentlemen?”
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "I want to issue an order to abolish slavery. Anyone who can speak Chinese will never be a slave!"
"No matter what method, as long as you are a slave, we will be beheading everyone in the shelter!"
The courtier's expression changed sharply.
This is a big deal!
Emperor Taizu had issued a decree at that time, so the slaves disappeared and were replaced by servants and adopted sons and daughters, but they just changed their names.
"Your Majesty, you need to think twice about this matter." Hu Hui urged.
"Those literati claim to be moral gentlemen, why do they violate the laws of Gu Chaotang? Why do they bully the people and force them into slavery?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "I think these people have lenient standards for themselves, but strict standards for me!"
Proper double standard dog!
You can double standard me, and I can double standard you.
"I have made up my mind and will deliver the order immediately!"
"Before the end of the year, all slaves in the world will be released, and all personal contracts will be invalid!"
"If the master's family forcibly keeps a tenant, servant, or adopted son or daughter, the tenant, servant, or adopted son can be beaten to death by the master's family to avoid any guilt!"
hiss!
The courtier gasped.
This was the emperor's counterattack.
Digging out the roots of the world’s gentry!
Why do the gentry in the world control [-]% of the land?Isn't it just turning the common people into tenants? To put it nicely, they are tenants, but in fact they are serfs.
"Your Majesty, this matter is really too big and needs to be discussed by the courtiers. We can't just jump to conclusions in a moment of anger!"
Hu Hu persuaded him hard.
The courtiers all kowtowed and tried to persuade him.
Look, I dug your roots, don’t you want to?
You dug up the roots of Ming Dynasty, but why didn’t you ask me if I was happy or not and if I agreed with it?
Zhu Qiyu stopped talking.
The courtiers looked at each other and had no choice but to come and advise:
"Your Majesty, it is a good thing for the country and the people that Han'er should not be a slave."
"But sages like Emperor Taizu also implemented it step by step."
"Old minister, I just want to say a few things. How can the slaves you freed be self-sufficient? Where will the extra land be allocated to them? How will they survive?"
"Also, if the big families release their tenants, how will the abandoned land be cultivated? If the land is not cultivated, where will the food come from?"
"From small to large, if the country's land is abandoned on a large scale, there will be a famine in the Ming Dynasty."
"Once there is a famine, those slaves freed by Your Majesty will resent Your Majesty, and the people of the world will follow suit and complain against Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, a good thing turned out to be a bad thing. Isn't it unfair?"
Hu Hu persuaded him hard.
The court officials also followed suit and said that releasing slaves hastily would do more harm than good.
If you want to free the slaves, you must ensure that there is sufficient land distribution first, and that the land is not abandoned. At the same time, the common livelihood of the large families and the slaves must be ensured.
Wang Fu suddenly said: "Is it possible that your Majesty wants to use foreign slaves to replace the Han people?"
There was a sudden silence in the Yangxin Hall where there was a lot of discussion.
What the emperor said was that Han'er was not a slave.
Didn't you say that wealthy families are not allowed to use slaves?
Hu Xi's expression changed: "Your Majesty, do you want to use the people of Annan to replace tenants, servants, adopted sons and daughters, etc.?"
"Old Master, in your eyes, do I look like that ignorant king?" Zhu Qiyu asked back.
Can freeing slaves be a matter of just one sentence?
How much interest is involved here.
Believe it or not, when he issued a decree, no gentry in the world would even take a glance at it. If it were enforced, his throne would be overturned in an instant.
"I am guilty, I am aware of my guilt!" Hu Hui kowtowed.
The key point is that you are too scary!
You look like you want to eat people, so of course you think of it, you want to free the slaves and cut off the roots of the gentry.
This is a big deal.
Those who were at the helm with the emperor were not only the courtiers, but also the gentry from all over the world.
These gentry are not good at doing good things. They are good at eating the flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty and digging up the roots of the Ming Dynasty.
"Wang Qing understands me best!"
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "The Ming Dynasty is a gentry when it succeeds, and a gentry when it fails."
"If I make a move, will you still support me?"
This is too straightforward.
All officials are representatives of the gentry, and their families are the largest gentry in the area. Who would benefit themselves at the expense of others?
"The order to free the slaves is imperative!"
"Han'er will not be a slave, I will decree the world, and everyone in the world will say this sentence, Han'er will not be a slave! I will never be a slave!"
"But I want to change the ancestral system and allow people to keep slaves."
"But there is one thing. Those who can speak Chinese are Han children and will never be slaves. They are not allowed to breed. Those who breed will be punished by death starting from the 12th year of Jingtai!"
It is the end of June in the ninth year of Jingtai.
In other words, Jingtai started to implement it in 12 years.
Three years would give the wealthy families time to capture the slaves, and also give the Han slaves time to adapt to their new life. The court should also be properly accommodated.
"The sources of slaves are left to the people to decide on their own. Anyway, I allow slaves to be kept. There are many slaves from all over the world. It is a gift from God to give them a mouthful of food for those lowly slaves. Why not use it in the Ming Dynasty?"
Yao Kui was about to speak but stopped.
"Yao Qing, tell me!" Zhu Qiyu said.
"Your Majesty, I said something that I shouldn't have said!"
Yao Kui kowtowed and said solemnly: "You can use force to suppress the world's gentry."
"But the king of future generations may not be able to."
"By then, Han'er will not be a slave, I'm afraid it will become an empty promise."
"So the old minister suggested that the central government should not change the ancestral system. It only needs to be acquiesced by the people. There is no need to write it in the law."
That said, don't do it to perfection.
Give future generations an excuse.
The ancestral system was the moral high ground in the Ming Dynasty. It was because the courtiers had this commanding height that they could manipulate the emperor in everything.
Yao Kui was thinking from the emperor's perspective.
Likewise, he did not want the emperor to destroy the ancestral system.
"What Yao Qing said is true."
Zhu Qiyu appreciates it.
When he got the imperial power, he broke many ancestral institutions. He did not do to others what he did not want others to do to him, and he could not leave too many ancestral institutions for future generations.
The ancestral system is meant to be distorted and must be upheld.
"After all, I want to encourage the rise of the slave trade."
Zhu Qiyu said straightforwardly: "You should know the situation in Annan."
"It is the rainy season in Annan. Guangxi has only arrested a group of people, about 5 people, and they are plowing the mountain roads of the [-] mountains. Several roads have been opened."
"But the slaves are also used up."
"These slaves are very useful. You don't have to worry about life or death."
"If I have one million slaves, I can build the entire Mobei this year. If I have 500 million slaves, I can completely cure the Yellow River within one year."
Isn’t it worth exchanging the dead bones of 500 million people for a perfect Yellow River?
So delicious.
"In the same way, there will be fewer people in Annan. I can also move Han people there to enrich the population. Annan will completely become my Jiaozhi."
Zhu Qiyu had a beautiful thought: "The mistakes of the Yongle Dynasty will never be repeated again."
Yao Kui said: "Your Majesty, although slaves are useful, they also need to eat. If there are 600 million more slaves in the Central Plains, how much food will be eaten?"
"Furthermore, once your slave release order is issued, a large number of people will be released."
"Coupled with the cleared refugees, I estimate that the number of people who can speak Chinese will be more than [-] million."
"There are so many people, how can we fill our stomachs?"
There are advantages and disadvantages.
Complement each other.
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "If Jiaozhi and North Korea can provide food for the center, how many people can be fed? And how much can the entire Mobei produce from growing grain and raising livestock?"
"Yao Qing, there is strength in numbers. The reason why the Han people were not destroyed after the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was because there were enough Han people."
"When I clean up Yunnan and Guizhou, how much farmland will be released?"
"When the Yellow River is completely cured and the water system is connected, Guanzhong, Henan, Beizhili, and Shandong will become big granaries again. Even if the Central Plains has 5000 million more people, so what?"
"With the vast land of the Ming Dynasty, can't we support this small number of people?"
"If not!"
"I will take these people to expand the territory and eat abroad!"
Yao Kui still wanted to argue.
Zhu Qiyu made up his mind: "Capturing slaves is also a process of Chineseization. After a few years, they can speak Chinese and become common people of the Ming Dynasty."
Sinicization is to kill an ethnic group into a minority, then turn the remaining people into slaves, make them speak and learn Chinese, and quickly become Chinese. In the end, when the next generation completely forgets their own language and history, they will become the new Han people. .
After a few generations, they were completely inseparable from the Han people.
"Okay, I have made up my mind."
"The cabinet drafted a slave release order and implemented it in the 12th year of Jingtai. During this period, the people were allowed to arrest non-Han slaves."
"The chief secretaries in various places distributed acres of land, farm tools, seeds, and even settled families and made a living to the released population."
"If there is really no land left in the local area, you can immigrate to the nearest location as appropriate, and do not disturb the newly released people."
"On the first day of the first lunar month of the twelfth year of Jingtai, all personal contracts are invalid!"
"The captured slaves will be issued slave status by the court. The Han people will never be issued slave status, never!"
Zhu Qiyu insisted on this very much and wanted to revise the law and add this article.
But freeing slaves was in conflict with population explosion and food shortages.
Zhu Qiyu also felt helpless.
It is imperative to capture foreign slaves.
How many slaves can be captured by just relying on the court?
We have to let everyone in the world catch him.
The slave industry will arise in an instant.
Capturing slaves will also promote the rise of maritime transport. With the rise of maritime transport, maritime trade will naturally rise, which is a good thing.
"Get up."
After kneeling for half an hour, Zhu Qiyu asked the courtiers to get up.
The emperor took advantage of his anger to accomplish several major events.
After all, the emperor still made money.
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" The courtier kowtowed and rubbed his legs.
"Give a seat."
Zhu Qiyu pointed to the side wall of Yangxin Hall: "In the future, a row of seats will be set up here. Courtiers can sit here and discuss political affairs with me."
"There are also seats in the side hall where courtiers can sit."
The courtiers were stunned. The emperor was exalting his power, which was a good thing.
As long as the emperor doesn't get angry just because he's angry, the life of the courtiers will be easy.
"I'd like to thank Your Majesty for your understanding!" The courtier kowtowed.
"In spring, I purchased 120 million saplings from various places and planted them in Gyeonggi Province. What is the survival rate now?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Go back to Your Majesty."
This matter originally belonged to the Department of Agriculture, but the Department of Agriculture had just been established, so it was managed by the Ministry of Industry. Ma Ang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, knelt on the ground and said: "It's okay to survive."
"Before, there was no green in Beijing. After summer this year, Beijing became a little more lush."
"In a few years, when the trees have grown up, Beijing will return to the scene it was when the capital was first moved."
Ma Ang's words aroused the agreement of the courtiers.
He would ask officials from the Ministry of Works to send a detailed report to the Yangxin Hall.
"Your Majesty, please remember that the Ming Dynasty protects you, and you must also pay attention to protecting the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Qiyu made a pun: "Every plant and tree must be protected after the people benefit."
“The Department of Agriculture must pay attention to planting trees.”
"It needs to be planted every year, all over the north, especially in severely damaged places like Henan, Shandong, Beizhili, Shanxi, and Shaanxi."
"We need to plant trees on a large scale, protect aquatic plants, and protect the Ming Dynasty."
"There is also water, which must be protected and cannot be destroyed at will. The Ministry of Rites must formulate a set of regulations to protect water sources."
Zhu Qiyu’s words have profound meaning.
The courtiers listened and seemed to be reminding them not to eat from Ming Dynasty but smash Ming Dynasty's pot.
"I will know this!" The courtiers kowtowed.
(End of this chapter)
"Sir, wait a minute!"
Hu Zhao chased after him, and Sha Xuan walked in front, going faster and faster.
Sha Xuan: Don’t listen to the bastard chanting sutras.
Hu Zhao: What does the matter of the eldest house have to do with me? I am almost exhausted.
In the city of Nanchang.
The Hu family, who had always kept a low profile, actually chased the Jin Yiwei from the east to the west of the city.
Hu Zhao fell down from exhaustion long ago and was chased while being carried on a stretcher.
The whole city of Nanchang knew about it.
It didn't take long for rumors to spread in Nanchang Mansion that Hu Yan's descendants had no backbone and bowed to the slaves of the Jin Yiwei.
The Hu family's reputation will be affected.
Sha Xuan was also so tired that his legs felt like lead. He didn't mean to lead Hu Zhao all over the city, but he was thinking of ways to save himself.
He, Sha Xuan, couldn't do a good job in cleaning up the Hu family, so he would definitely lose Jin Zhong's trust.
"Mr. Hu, would you like to lend me your head?"
While taking a rest in the cool air, Sha Hyun suddenly approached Hu Zhao who was lying on the stretcher.
Hu Zhao's expression changed sharply: "Sir."
"I, the Hu family, will never dare to obstruct Jin Yiwei from handling the case."
"You can check whatever you want."
"I asked you to go to Hu's house to investigate. You can investigate whoever you want."
He climbed up from the stretcher, approached Sha Xuan, and said straight to the point: "Admiral Jin's treatment of my Hu family is just because he thinks my Hu family is an eyesore."
"My Hu family is willing to pay 10 taels of silver to plead guilty."
"Then the whole family stayed behind closed doors to think about their mistakes. The whole day that Admiral Jin was in Jiangxi, the Hu family didn't go out."
"What do you think?"
This is a private grant and a private negotiation of terms.
Sha Xuan looked at his face: "Your head is more practical."
Hu Zhao burst into tears: "Although it is my wish to accompany my late father, it is of no benefit to you..."
"Speak in human language!" Sha Xuan didn't understand.
Hu Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Then make sure people don't tell secret stories."
"Admiral Jin sent you here to investigate the arms case, but in fact it is to investigate the smuggling case."
"The Hu family has some connections in Nanchang Mansion and will help you get to the bottom of this. The Hu family is also willing to take the initiative to pay the confession money."
"Our Hu family is also willing to split into two teams, one to go to Guangxi and the other to Hunan."
"In this way, Admiral Jin will see your ability to do things and will naturally promote you."
"And the Hu family is willing to give you the filial piety you deserve."
At the mention of money, Sha Hyun's eyes lit up.
But this money can't be spent without life.
He thought of all the ways to save himself, but none seemed to work.
"Tell me something you don't like to hear."
"The Hu family's disciples and old officials are all over the world. You can force the Hu family to bow their heads temporarily, but what are the consequences?"
"Think about it, is Admiral Jin really willing to bear the consequences once you die?"
Hu Zhao's tone was full of temptation: "Why don't you investigate for now and send a speedboat to Hukou to report to Admiral Ming Jin. Nanchang is only two days' journey from Hukou, so it won't take long."
Sa Hyun was really moved.
but!
Does he have a choice?
He thought about it for several hours, but he didn't even think about where his way of survival would be.
It is better to die happily and secure a future for my son!
puff!
Sha Xuan suddenly pulled out his waist knife and struck Hu Zhao in the chest.
Then, he stepped on Hu Zhao's chest and cut off Hu Zhao's head.
The Hu family's retinue realized later and surrounded Sha Xuan. They did not dare to do anything to Sha Xuan because he was a royal guard.
If they dare to draw swords on Jin Yiwei, they are rebelling!
Sha Xuan knew he would die, so he was waiting for the Hu family to hack him to death. The Hu family drew their swords, and he promised not to resist.
As a result, the Hu family's followers were not fools, and no one moved.
Not only the Hu family's servants were confused, but the Jinyi guards were also confused. Sha Xuan was leading him to death.
"Let's go to Hu's house!"
From the moment he killed Hu Zhao, Sha Xuan had no choice.
And the news reached the Governor's Mansion.
Ma Jin was startled: "Is this Sha Xuan crazy?"
"broken!"
"Jin Zhong wants to cleanse Jiangxi with blood. He can't wait any longer."
Could it be that the emperor was impatient because the Jiangxi blockade lasted too long?
Ma Jin is based in Jiangxi. As we all know, Jiangxi is complicated and difficult to supervise.
Jin Zhong proposed a confession silver project, and there was strong opposition at first.
He believed that Jinyiwei ignored the vision of livelihood and forcibly seized the people's anointing, and even scolded the emperor.
But in Guangxin Mansion, Jin Zhong forced the big families to split their property. Although Jin Yiwei didn't need a penny, it gave hope to the common people. The common people in each big family were not very obedient.
All the families in Jiangxi immediately shut up and thought it would be a good idea to pay the confession money.
However, Jin Zhong changed his strategy again.
Ma Jin hesitated now. If he went to the Hu family again, it would be equivalent to siding with Hu Yan. Jin Zhong would not do anything to him, but what would the emperor sitting in the Fengtian Palace think?
He was promoted from the grassroots level only because of His Majesty's discernment and important responsibilities. It was His Majesty's kindness that allowed him to oversee a province at such a young age.
No one believes him if he is not an imperialist.
Therefore, he cannot betray his own class.
"Come on, prepare the chariots and horses!"
Ma Jin stood up: "Yang Xin captured more than [-] refugees in Jianchang Mansion. I, the governor, will personally resettle the refugees. All reports from Jiangxi will be sent to Jianchang Mansion."
He didn't dare to stay in Nanchang Mansion any longer.
Simply leave Nanchang Mansion and go with Jin Zhong.
And Sha Xuan came to Hu's house carrying Hu Zhao's head.
Put the knife on Hu Xi's neck.
Investigate arms smuggling cases.
The news had reached Hukou, and Jin Zhong had a look of satisfaction on his face: "Sha Xuan sacrificed his life for justice, and the governor plans to adopt his two sons and one daughter as adopted children, as a token of his kindness."
"Yan Fang, this governor is personally in charge of Nanchang Mansion!"
"You are in charge of Jiujiang Mansion!"
"All families, according to the size of the family's industry, must pay double the amount of the guilty plea, regardless of the reason!"
"Then the family was divided into three lines. One line moved to Hunan, one line moved to Guangxi, and one lineage stayed in the local area."
"This governor will send a few more people to Ruizhou Prefecture, Yuanzhou Prefecture, Linjiang Prefecture, and Fuzhou Prefecture to implement the same standards!"
"Within three months, the confession money will be delivered to the capital without any delay!"
That's right.
Jin Zhong received the emperor's secret order and urged him to take action quickly.
He has already cleaned up Raozhou Prefecture, Ji'an Prefecture and Guangxin Prefecture, and half of Jianchang Prefecture has been cleared.
Wait until these houses are cleaned up.
He will personally take charge of Ganzhou Prefecture, and then clean up Ganzhou Prefecture, Jianchang Prefecture and Nan'an Prefecture.
This year, before the river freezes, it must all be plowed.
"Admiral, what about the Hu family..." Yan Fang asked cautiously.
"Now that you've done it, you have to do it!"
Jin Zhong's eyes were sharp: "Leave one as an offering to Hu Yan and kill the rest!"
"However, we must collect all the evidence and we cannot let the central government find faults."
As for whether the descendants of Hu Yan are guilty or not.
it is not important.
Jinyiwei wants to use the Hu family to cleanse the entire Nanchang Mansion, and then clean the north of Jiangxi.
Cut the mess with a quick knife.
Jin Zhong boarded the ship, quickly wrote a report on the ship and sent it out of Jiangxi.
By the time Zhu Qiyu received the report from Jin Zhong, it was already late June.
The Hu Yan family was executed for unfounded reasons, causing an uproar in both the government and the public.
Many officials petitioned the emperor to depose the factory guards and severely punish Jin Zhong and Chen Wuyang.
The people even lost control. Various newspapers insulted Jin Zhong and cursed Jin Yiwei. Jin Yiwei everywhere was not having a good time.
Even the Dongchang, Du Zhijian, and patrol camps also ate Gua Luoer.
"Jin Zhong, you can cause trouble for me."
Zhu Qiyu now has a harmonious relationship with his courtiers. It is a time when the monarch and his ministers are working together to carry out construction, but Jin Zhong has caused trouble for him.
The courtiers lost their sense of security.
Hu Yan was a famous minister, and the descendants of famous ministers were liquidated by the emperor.
Can you prevent the ministers in Fengtian Palace from being frightened?
This kind of thing has set a precedent. Who will do better in the future?
Even Hu Hui no longer supported the emperor.
"How's the silver coin exchange going?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked.
"Back to the emperor, the silver coins brought to the shop every day were sold out as soon as they were released. Now the supply of silver coins exceeds the demand."
Feng Xiao didn't understand, what was the relationship between gold loyalty and silver coins?
"How much silver is brought into the capital from Jiangxi?"
Feng Xiao understood that without Jin Zhong supplying silver, there would be no way to issue silver coins.
"Although Chen Wuyang is guilty, how much money did Nanzhili send?"
After Wang Hong killed Cheng Tong in Fengtian Hall.
This water transport brings money every day.
Nowadays, the warehouses of the household department and internal funds are piled with mountains of money.
According to the secret notes of Jin Zhong and Wang Hong.
A total of three hundred million taels of silver can be obtained.
How much money does Ming Dynasty have in total?
"Your Majesty, those scholars outside don't know the difficulties in the court." Feng Xiao said cautiously.
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Since they don't know suffering, let them suffer."
"Go and bring the courtiers."
Feng Xiao kowtowed and immediately went to announce it.
At this time, all the important ministers of the cabinet were working in the palace. After hearing the edict, they immediately entered the Yangxin Hall.
Hu Hui recovered as good as ever and began to deal with government affairs again.
However, Yu Qian was not in good health, so the emperor ordered him to take a rest for any time.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty!" Hu Hui and others knelt down to salute.
Zhu Qiyu slowly raised his head: "You still know that I am the emperor?"
The courtier's heart skipped a beat. In order to protect your loyalty, you wouldn't do this, right?
"I thought I had forgotten all about it?"
"Your Majesty, you are the Emperor. Even if I forget who I am, I will not dare to forget your identity!" Hu Hui smiled bitterly.
Yao Kui huddled in the back, it's up to you, old lady, to take the lead.
"Jin Zhong arrested Hu Yan's descendants, and the world's literati stabbed me in the back. How is this?"
Zhu Qiyu said unhappily: "What does Jin Zhong's crime have to do with me?"
"Do you think my sword is dangerous? Or do you think I am a weak king?"
"You just want to scold me?"
Jin Zhong is your slave, and he represents you in every word and deed. If he makes a mistake, of course he will come to you.
"Your Majesty, please listen to the old minister!"
Hu Xi smiled bitterly: "I don't say whether what Admiral Jin did was right or wrong."
"I will only talk about the achievements of Duke Hu first."
"Your Majesty cares about all the people and wants everyone in the world to be able to study. He plans to invest a lot of money in the central government to establish education."
"And Mr. Hu was a pioneer in education and a model in the teachings."
"Your Majesty is now angry with the intellectuals of the world and speaks out for the descendants of Duke Hu."
"Isn't this just how people in the past planted trees and people in the future can enjoy the shade? It is precisely because Hu Gong taught all the people that the candles will turn to ashes before the tears dry up, so they can get a lot of help from Taoism."
What Hu Yan means is that if the emperor wants to attach importance to education, he must set up a signboard for education, and Hu Yan is a gold-lettered signboard.
However, Jin Zhong tore up Jin Zi's signboard because of small profits.
Isn't it right to be reviled?
"Then Hu Zhao and Hu Xi, who forge ordnance and sell it to outsiders, can such people escape the blame? Just because his father-in-law is Hu Yan?"
Zhu Qiyu put the shit basin on first.
Hu Hu rolled his eyes. This is because you are cheating. If Jin Zhong really comes up with evidence, the government and the public will not be upset.
The key is that Jin Zhong had no evidence, so he just killed someone.
This is breaking the rules, so everyone is in danger.
"My lords, do you know how much silver Jin Zhong will transport to the center this year?" Zhu Qiyu saw that the ministers were not satisfied and directly discussed the interests.
"Your Majesty, don't lose people's hearts because of small profits!"
Yao Kui said loudly: "Admiral Jin has indeed solved the urgent needs of the country, but the king of heaven and earth, his relatives and teachers, are the foundation of the country."
"If you give up your fundamentals for small profits, and people will no longer follow you, how will the great tomorrow survive in the future?"
His words aroused the support of the courtiers.
Money is important, but "righteousness" is even more important.
"One hundred million taels of silver is just a small profit in Yao Qing's words. Then why don't you go and get this money for me?"
Zhu Qiyu said sadly: "How much does the Ming Dynasty tax revenue earn per year?"
"Raising troops and building cities, radically controlling the Yellow River, reforming the currency system, what can be done without money?"
"If you don't have money, Yao Kui, tell me, what can I do?"
"Your Majesty, I did not say that money is not important, but that justice is more important!" Yao Kui felt that the emperor was secretly changing his concept.
Zhu Qiyu is stubborn: "Hu Yan is the teacher of many people and a famous minister of his generation."
"But does his reputation allow his descendants to do whatever they want?"
"If this is the case, Yang Shiqi should not have returned to his hometown as an official. His son just killed someone in his hometown. What does it mean?"
It's crooked again.
"Your Majesty, these are two different things." Yao Kui smiled bitterly.
"I think it's the same thing."
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "If Jin Zhong can't produce evidence, I will immediately order his execution. If evidence is produced, Hu Yan will confiscate his family and exterminate his clan!"
The courtier was suddenly startled.
The emperor's fundamental purpose is to deal with Hu Yan's descendants?
No, what benefits can the emperor gain from dealing with Hu Zhao and others?
The emperor's purpose is...literati!
"The people are open-minded. After reading and knowing how to read, they do not serve the country, but instead insult the king and father like a coward!"
"I think it's against the grain!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "They are alive because my ancestors established the Ming Dynasty and allowed their ancestors to live! They can read, and it is me who protected them and gave them a good life!"
"What happened? Instead of working hard for me, you secretly scolded me?"
"Don't you think I can kill people?"
The emperor's goal is to be a scholar in the world!
When civil servants fought against imperial power, they relied not only on the power in their hands, but also on the mouths of the world's literati!
The mouths of intellectuals in the world will always occupy the moral high ground.
Regardless of whether the emperor did something right or wrong, as long as they offended them, they could spray the emperor to death with spitting stars and turn him into a dog.
Zhu Qiyu has always taken power.
But the literati's mouths cannot be closed. After all, one cannot cut off everyone's tongues if they have someone else's mouth, right?
"Your Majesty, calm down!" The courtiers were horrified.
In fact, Zhu Qiyu is strong, and civil servants are not desperate, because Zhu Qiyu is not immortal and will die sooner or later.
As long as civil servants don’t lose their pen, they don’t lose the mouth of the world’s literati.
Once Zhu Qiyu dies, the civilian clique will take power again.
Imperial power cannot suppress the lips and tongues of the people in the world.
"I can't calm down my anger!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "Pass the decree that the patrol camp will be renamed Black Ice Terrace, and the official position will remain unchanged."
"Heibingtai controls the world's rumors."
"Once it is discovered that any scholar insults the emperor and father, he will... go to the frontier to serve for three years."
"I am not a cruel king. I will not execute them, nor will I deprive them of their qualifications to participate in the imperial examination. I just want to control their foul mouth."
"Let the literati in the world stop sitting at home and relying solely on their imaginations and talking nonsense! They don't know the sufferings of the people and the sufferings on the frontiers!"
"They are ordered to go to the border to guard the border. They can participate in major military and political affairs, serve as staff, serve as grassroots officers, and serve as grassroots officials. There are no restrictions."
"Let them go and see how easy it is for me as a king and father!"
"Look at how difficult it is for the people of Ming Dynasty!"
"Don't just grow a mouth and spit out feces all in one day!"
The courtiers were frightened.
Later it turned into ecstasy.
This is to expand the power of civilians.
If a literati went to the frontiers to practice for three years, to serve as a general's staff, or to go deep into the grassroots level, he would not only gain fame, but also participate in actual politics.
In this way, the court will have an additional number of available ministers.
At the same time, the authority of the literati also expanded.
This is not a punishment, this is a reward!
and many more!
This is a system imitated by the Tang Dynasty. Many literati in the Tang Dynasty went to serve as aides under the Jiedushi envoys in the feudal towns. Could it be that the emperor was dissatisfied with the generals and wanted to add sand to the ranks of the generals?
Use words to suppress force?
"Your Majesty is wise!" The courtiers were all good people and immediately saw the benefits.
"Listen to me."
The ministers were looking at the emperor, and the emperor was also looking at the ministers. He said coldly: "These people are only given one chance. If there is a second chance, I will be quartered, and my family will be demoted to the rank of craftsman, and they will never be allowed to take the imperial examination!"
"Your Majesty has given the sinners a chance. If they still don't repent, they should be dealt with again!" Geng Jiuchou stood on the emperor's side and spoke.
Yao Kui was about to speak but stopped when Wang Fu winked at him.
Just click here, don’t say more.
"My lords, if there are people who refuse to change despite repeated admonitions, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Many families in Jiangxi have split their wealth. According to the report from Jin Yiwei, these families are actually richer than me."
"But they were so unkind because of their wealth that they refused to help the village, and they did not build bridges or build roads. In fact, there were more than [-] refugees in Jianchang Prefecture. Most of these refugees refused to be tenants and ran away to become refugees."
"Tell me, who stole their fields?"
The courtier did not answer.
"I say for you, this is the person you are protecting."
"I know what you are thinking."
"It's nothing more than beating me to death, and the civil servants will raise their heads again. After all, you have not broken your bones. In order to expand the power of the Han people, I will continue to expand your power and increase your strength."
"While I am alive, you curl up."
"But when I die, the imperial power will be lost."
Can you say this casually?
The courtiers were so frightened that they kept kowtowing.
"No need to explain, I see clearly."
Zhu Qiyu was helpless.
This is a problem of the system and the people's hearts.
From the moment Emperor Taizong re-employed civil servants, he was doomed to have civil servants chaos in government.
The Han people are very fond of fighting among themselves. The literati fought against the warriors, and the emperor fought against the clan. When the warriors were gone, the literati continued to fight against each other and never stopped.
"But have you ever thought about it?"
"You and I will steer the ship of Ming Dynasty together."
"Sooner or later, this ship will sink. When the ship sinks, do you want to find a new owner? Or do you want to repair it and continue to maintain the ship?"
This is a heartbreaking question.
Anyone who dares to say that he wants a new master must naturally show his loyalty.
"What I can do is make this ship sail longer."
Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "I plowed the Qing Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, and also divided the wealthy families. Why?" "It is not to reduce land annexation, make the people fair, resettle more refugees, expand the living space of the Han people, make the court clear and clear, and the common people Live better.”
"It's just to keep the ship moving."
"Ha ha."
"When my ship sinks and a new ship is replaced, will they be able to reuse you?"
"You are only human when you are under my command; if you change your master, can you still be human?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "Yao Kui, tell me!"
"I am loyal to Your Majesty and have a deep love for the Ming Dynasty. I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep the ship of the Ming Dynasty sailing normally." Yao Kui kowtowed.
"But you're protecting the rats on this ship."
"They are eating my ship, sucking the blood of the Ming Dynasty, and digging out the roots of the Ming Dynasty!"
"How much money does your Yao Kui family have?"
"Do you have tens of millions of taels of silver?"
"But their family has it. It's not just one family or two families. Many wealthy families in Jiangxi have hundreds of millions of taels of silver in their families!"
"Where did they get so much money?"
"Where did it come from!"
"Did you save it? I am the sixth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How much money do I have in my hand?"
"How did it come about? Can you explain it to me?"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly roared: "Shouldn't such a person be killed? Shouldn't he be exterminated to death?"
"There are tens of millions of refugees in the world!"
"What will they do if they don't even have enough to eat? Rebellion! They have to rebel just to fill their stomachs!"
"But these people have millions or tens of millions of taels of silver at home!"
"If they allocate some money and give the people a full meal, will the world be in chaos?"
"Are you using me as a tyrant to kill people?"
“Will the Ming ship sink?”
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were fierce: "My lords, what will I do if the ship of the Ming Dynasty sinks? I can die, but how can I face my ancestors?"
"Emperor Taizu scolded me, how should I respond?"
"Emperor Taizong asked me, how should I describe myself?"
"Tell me how I want to tell my great-grandfather, my great-grandfather, my grandfather, and my father! Tell the Holy Lords of all generations that I am incompetent and have lost my ancestors!"
"I do not want to be the king of the country's subjugation!"
"You have no face to be the king of a subjugated country!"
"Then you tell me, what should I do?"
Zhu Qiyu slowly stood up and stood in front of Hu Hui: "I say, Jin Zhong killed right! He killed well!"
"Whoever dares to let me be the king of the country's subjugation, I will let the ten tribes perish!"
The courtiers were frightened.
This matter has actually risen to the level of subjugating the country, which shows that this matter cannot be discussed, and the emperor will not listen to anyone's opinions.
"deliver an imperial order!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "All large households in Jiangxi, those with a household property of one thousand taels of silver and more than ten people, must be divided!"
"Based on real population."
"Including women, there are less than ten people in Dingkou. They are divided into two families. One family will stay in the place of origin and the other will immigrate to Guangxi."
"For those with ten to 20 people in Dingkou, they will be divided into three households. One household will stay in its original place, one will immigrate to Hunan, and one will immigrate to Guangxi."
"Those with 20 to 30 people in Dingkou will be divided into four households. One household will stay in their place of origin, one will immigrate to Hunan, one will immigrate to Guangxi, and one will immigrate to Guangdong."
"Those with a Dingkou of 30 to 40 people will be divided into five households. One household will stay in the original place, one will immigrate to Hunan, one will immigrate to Guangxi, one will immigrate to Guangdong, and one will immigrate to Fujian."
It keeps increasing and is divided into six households, seven households, eight households and so on.
Add Guizhou, Yunnan, and Gansu.
"After the number of households is divided, the property must be divided and the family property should be divided equally. Jin Yiwei is responsible for supervision. As long as the confession silver is paid, Jin Yiwei is not allowed to take a needle or a thread!"
Zhu Qiyu is an immigrant, not to swallow up all his family property.
As long as the family property is divided equally between the direct lineage and the concubine lineage, no matter how large the family property is, it will be broken into pieces, and then they will be immigrated, and everyone will become a small family.
This is the safest way. If he really wants to divide the land among the rich, his throne will not be secure.
None of the courtiers dared to persuade him, and they could not do so.
“After immigration, the land will be redistributed!”
"Those who are still living in their families among the millions of refugees cleared out in Jiangxi will be sent back to their place of origin, their land will be equally divided, and they will be exempted from taxes for five years."
"Those who have no family can move to Guangdong or Fujian, divide more acres of land and build houses, and they will be exempted from taxes for ten years."
Jiangxi really doesn’t clean up and I don’t know.
Yang Xin cleared out nearly 30 refugees in Raozhou Prefecture and Guangxin Prefecture, more than [-] refugees in Jianchang Prefecture, and more than [-] refugees in Ganzhou Prefecture.
Including the refugees in other prefectures, the number has exceeded 100 million.
These people do not have black households in their household registration.
"The decree was sent to Ma Jin that in the winter, they must be properly settled and the land is settled. The government will give them seeds and lend them a sum of grain. They will pay it back in installments after they have planted the land."
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Tell Ma Jin that anyone who dares to stop him will be killed with my Emperor's Sword!"
"The relocated Jiangxi people must be properly resettled when they arrive in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, and Fujian."
"This year's Beijing inspection will regard this as the most important performance review."
According to reports from the two capitals and seventeen provinces this year, more than 100 million refugees have been cleared out.
Currently, the majority are in Hubei, Hunan and Shandong.
However, according to Wang Cheng's memorial, the largest number of refugees was estimated to be in Southern Zhili. He estimated that there were more than 200 million to 300 million refugees in Southern Zhili.
These refugees also include tenants who have lost their household registration.
The population statistics of the Ming Dynasty do not include tenants.
Zhu Qiyu estimated that there are more than [-] million people living in the Ming Dynasty.
This frightened him greatly.
There are 5000 million people without household registration and tens of millions of refugees. If these people rebel, the world will collapse in an instant.
What frightened him even more was that the Ming Dynasty had a lot of people but little land, so he had never felt that food was in short supply before.
As a result, only after counting the population did we know that the Ming Dynasty was in a serious food crisis. It must urgently solve the food problem, otherwise the huge population of the Ming Dynasty would be a powder keg.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
None of the courtiers expected that the angry emperor would end up talking about political affairs.
A little caught off guard.
"I am not a saint at all. If I were a saint, how could there be refugees everywhere?"
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "There are more than 1000 million refugees. I am covered in cold sweat while sitting in the Fengtian Palace."
"You are still defending Hu Yan!"
"Is he wronged?"
"How many of the more than 1000 million refugees in Jiangxi are due to the Hu family?"
"This is alive, how many more are dead?"
"How much blood debt is there on the Hu family's head? Has it been settled?"
"If these are made public, it won't be an exaggeration for me to dig up Hu Yan's grave!"
The courtier's face turned bitter. Anyway, when you open your mouth, whoever you say is good will be good, and whoever you say is bad will be bad.
“Aren’t those literati moral gentlemen?”
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "I want to issue an order to abolish slavery. Anyone who can speak Chinese will never be a slave!"
"No matter what method, as long as you are a slave, we will be beheading everyone in the shelter!"
The courtier's expression changed sharply.
This is a big deal!
Emperor Taizu had issued a decree at that time, so the slaves disappeared and were replaced by servants and adopted sons and daughters, but they just changed their names.
"Your Majesty, you need to think twice about this matter." Hu Hui urged.
"Those literati claim to be moral gentlemen, why do they violate the laws of Gu Chaotang? Why do they bully the people and force them into slavery?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "I think these people have lenient standards for themselves, but strict standards for me!"
Proper double standard dog!
You can double standard me, and I can double standard you.
"I have made up my mind and will deliver the order immediately!"
"Before the end of the year, all slaves in the world will be released, and all personal contracts will be invalid!"
"If the master's family forcibly keeps a tenant, servant, or adopted son or daughter, the tenant, servant, or adopted son can be beaten to death by the master's family to avoid any guilt!"
hiss!
The courtier gasped.
This was the emperor's counterattack.
Digging out the roots of the world’s gentry!
Why do the gentry in the world control [-]% of the land?Isn't it just turning the common people into tenants? To put it nicely, they are tenants, but in fact they are serfs.
"Your Majesty, this matter is really too big and needs to be discussed by the courtiers. We can't just jump to conclusions in a moment of anger!"
Hu Hu persuaded him hard.
The courtiers all kowtowed and tried to persuade him.
Look, I dug your roots, don’t you want to?
You dug up the roots of Ming Dynasty, but why didn’t you ask me if I was happy or not and if I agreed with it?
Zhu Qiyu stopped talking.
The courtiers looked at each other and had no choice but to come and advise:
"Your Majesty, it is a good thing for the country and the people that Han'er should not be a slave."
"But sages like Emperor Taizu also implemented it step by step."
"Old minister, I just want to say a few things. How can the slaves you freed be self-sufficient? Where will the extra land be allocated to them? How will they survive?"
"Also, if the big families release their tenants, how will the abandoned land be cultivated? If the land is not cultivated, where will the food come from?"
"From small to large, if the country's land is abandoned on a large scale, there will be a famine in the Ming Dynasty."
"Once there is a famine, those slaves freed by Your Majesty will resent Your Majesty, and the people of the world will follow suit and complain against Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, a good thing turned out to be a bad thing. Isn't it unfair?"
Hu Hu persuaded him hard.
The court officials also followed suit and said that releasing slaves hastily would do more harm than good.
If you want to free the slaves, you must ensure that there is sufficient land distribution first, and that the land is not abandoned. At the same time, the common livelihood of the large families and the slaves must be ensured.
Wang Fu suddenly said: "Is it possible that your Majesty wants to use foreign slaves to replace the Han people?"
There was a sudden silence in the Yangxin Hall where there was a lot of discussion.
What the emperor said was that Han'er was not a slave.
Didn't you say that wealthy families are not allowed to use slaves?
Hu Xi's expression changed: "Your Majesty, do you want to use the people of Annan to replace tenants, servants, adopted sons and daughters, etc.?"
"Old Master, in your eyes, do I look like that ignorant king?" Zhu Qiyu asked back.
Can freeing slaves be a matter of just one sentence?
How much interest is involved here.
Believe it or not, when he issued a decree, no gentry in the world would even take a glance at it. If it were enforced, his throne would be overturned in an instant.
"I am guilty, I am aware of my guilt!" Hu Hui kowtowed.
The key point is that you are too scary!
You look like you want to eat people, so of course you think of it, you want to free the slaves and cut off the roots of the gentry.
This is a big deal.
Those who were at the helm with the emperor were not only the courtiers, but also the gentry from all over the world.
These gentry are not good at doing good things. They are good at eating the flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty and digging up the roots of the Ming Dynasty.
"Wang Qing understands me best!"
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "The Ming Dynasty is a gentry when it succeeds, and a gentry when it fails."
"If I make a move, will you still support me?"
This is too straightforward.
All officials are representatives of the gentry, and their families are the largest gentry in the area. Who would benefit themselves at the expense of others?
"The order to free the slaves is imperative!"
"Han'er will not be a slave, I will decree the world, and everyone in the world will say this sentence, Han'er will not be a slave! I will never be a slave!"
"But I want to change the ancestral system and allow people to keep slaves."
"But there is one thing. Those who can speak Chinese are Han children and will never be slaves. They are not allowed to breed. Those who breed will be punished by death starting from the 12th year of Jingtai!"
It is the end of June in the ninth year of Jingtai.
In other words, Jingtai started to implement it in 12 years.
Three years would give the wealthy families time to capture the slaves, and also give the Han slaves time to adapt to their new life. The court should also be properly accommodated.
"The sources of slaves are left to the people to decide on their own. Anyway, I allow slaves to be kept. There are many slaves from all over the world. It is a gift from God to give them a mouthful of food for those lowly slaves. Why not use it in the Ming Dynasty?"
Yao Kui was about to speak but stopped.
"Yao Qing, tell me!" Zhu Qiyu said.
"Your Majesty, I said something that I shouldn't have said!"
Yao Kui kowtowed and said solemnly: "You can use force to suppress the world's gentry."
"But the king of future generations may not be able to."
"By then, Han'er will not be a slave, I'm afraid it will become an empty promise."
"So the old minister suggested that the central government should not change the ancestral system. It only needs to be acquiesced by the people. There is no need to write it in the law."
That said, don't do it to perfection.
Give future generations an excuse.
The ancestral system was the moral high ground in the Ming Dynasty. It was because the courtiers had this commanding height that they could manipulate the emperor in everything.
Yao Kui was thinking from the emperor's perspective.
Likewise, he did not want the emperor to destroy the ancestral system.
"What Yao Qing said is true."
Zhu Qiyu appreciates it.
When he got the imperial power, he broke many ancestral institutions. He did not do to others what he did not want others to do to him, and he could not leave too many ancestral institutions for future generations.
The ancestral system is meant to be distorted and must be upheld.
"After all, I want to encourage the rise of the slave trade."
Zhu Qiyu said straightforwardly: "You should know the situation in Annan."
"It is the rainy season in Annan. Guangxi has only arrested a group of people, about 5 people, and they are plowing the mountain roads of the [-] mountains. Several roads have been opened."
"But the slaves are also used up."
"These slaves are very useful. You don't have to worry about life or death."
"If I have one million slaves, I can build the entire Mobei this year. If I have 500 million slaves, I can completely cure the Yellow River within one year."
Isn’t it worth exchanging the dead bones of 500 million people for a perfect Yellow River?
So delicious.
"In the same way, there will be fewer people in Annan. I can also move Han people there to enrich the population. Annan will completely become my Jiaozhi."
Zhu Qiyu had a beautiful thought: "The mistakes of the Yongle Dynasty will never be repeated again."
Yao Kui said: "Your Majesty, although slaves are useful, they also need to eat. If there are 600 million more slaves in the Central Plains, how much food will be eaten?"
"Furthermore, once your slave release order is issued, a large number of people will be released."
"Coupled with the cleared refugees, I estimate that the number of people who can speak Chinese will be more than [-] million."
"There are so many people, how can we fill our stomachs?"
There are advantages and disadvantages.
Complement each other.
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "If Jiaozhi and North Korea can provide food for the center, how many people can be fed? And how much can the entire Mobei produce from growing grain and raising livestock?"
"Yao Qing, there is strength in numbers. The reason why the Han people were not destroyed after the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was because there were enough Han people."
"When I clean up Yunnan and Guizhou, how much farmland will be released?"
"When the Yellow River is completely cured and the water system is connected, Guanzhong, Henan, Beizhili, and Shandong will become big granaries again. Even if the Central Plains has 5000 million more people, so what?"
"With the vast land of the Ming Dynasty, can't we support this small number of people?"
"If not!"
"I will take these people to expand the territory and eat abroad!"
Yao Kui still wanted to argue.
Zhu Qiyu made up his mind: "Capturing slaves is also a process of Chineseization. After a few years, they can speak Chinese and become common people of the Ming Dynasty."
Sinicization is to kill an ethnic group into a minority, then turn the remaining people into slaves, make them speak and learn Chinese, and quickly become Chinese. In the end, when the next generation completely forgets their own language and history, they will become the new Han people. .
After a few generations, they were completely inseparable from the Han people.
"Okay, I have made up my mind."
"The cabinet drafted a slave release order and implemented it in the 12th year of Jingtai. During this period, the people were allowed to arrest non-Han slaves."
"The chief secretaries in various places distributed acres of land, farm tools, seeds, and even settled families and made a living to the released population."
"If there is really no land left in the local area, you can immigrate to the nearest location as appropriate, and do not disturb the newly released people."
"On the first day of the first lunar month of the twelfth year of Jingtai, all personal contracts are invalid!"
"The captured slaves will be issued slave status by the court. The Han people will never be issued slave status, never!"
Zhu Qiyu insisted on this very much and wanted to revise the law and add this article.
But freeing slaves was in conflict with population explosion and food shortages.
Zhu Qiyu also felt helpless.
It is imperative to capture foreign slaves.
How many slaves can be captured by just relying on the court?
We have to let everyone in the world catch him.
The slave industry will arise in an instant.
Capturing slaves will also promote the rise of maritime transport. With the rise of maritime transport, maritime trade will naturally rise, which is a good thing.
"Get up."
After kneeling for half an hour, Zhu Qiyu asked the courtiers to get up.
The emperor took advantage of his anger to accomplish several major events.
After all, the emperor still made money.
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" The courtier kowtowed and rubbed his legs.
"Give a seat."
Zhu Qiyu pointed to the side wall of Yangxin Hall: "In the future, a row of seats will be set up here. Courtiers can sit here and discuss political affairs with me."
"There are also seats in the side hall where courtiers can sit."
The courtiers were stunned. The emperor was exalting his power, which was a good thing.
As long as the emperor doesn't get angry just because he's angry, the life of the courtiers will be easy.
"I'd like to thank Your Majesty for your understanding!" The courtier kowtowed.
"In spring, I purchased 120 million saplings from various places and planted them in Gyeonggi Province. What is the survival rate now?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Go back to Your Majesty."
This matter originally belonged to the Department of Agriculture, but the Department of Agriculture had just been established, so it was managed by the Ministry of Industry. Ma Ang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, knelt on the ground and said: "It's okay to survive."
"Before, there was no green in Beijing. After summer this year, Beijing became a little more lush."
"In a few years, when the trees have grown up, Beijing will return to the scene it was when the capital was first moved."
Ma Ang's words aroused the agreement of the courtiers.
He would ask officials from the Ministry of Works to send a detailed report to the Yangxin Hall.
"Your Majesty, please remember that the Ming Dynasty protects you, and you must also pay attention to protecting the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Qiyu made a pun: "Every plant and tree must be protected after the people benefit."
“The Department of Agriculture must pay attention to planting trees.”
"It needs to be planted every year, all over the north, especially in severely damaged places like Henan, Shandong, Beizhili, Shanxi, and Shaanxi."
"We need to plant trees on a large scale, protect aquatic plants, and protect the Ming Dynasty."
"There is also water, which must be protected and cannot be destroyed at will. The Ministry of Rites must formulate a set of regulations to protect water sources."
Zhu Qiyu’s words have profound meaning.
The courtiers listened and seemed to be reminding them not to eat from Ming Dynasty but smash Ming Dynasty's pot.
"I will know this!" The courtiers kowtowed.
