I'm really not doing business

Chapter 488 A Ming Dynasty is all Wang Min
Hou Yuzhao did not have the destiny to be an official. He drank a lot of wine and wrote the memorial for more than half an hour. The hour passed after he fell asleep.

Shouldn't you drink? In fact, it's okay. On a winter day when even bears couldn't get out of their holes, Hou Yuzhao and Li Chengliang drank until they were extremely drunk, but he didn't delay the next day. He was a good drinker. This time it wasn't about drinking, but about what was in his heart. The knot that couldn't be untied no matter what, was finally untied, so I felt relieved and so relaxed.

Hou Yuzhao also wanted to make progress. How could anyone not want to make progress as an official in the Ming Dynasty? It would be fine if there was no chance. His Majesty had already appointed him, but he made mistakes on things he shouldn't have done and missed the moment to meet the Holy Spirit.

Hou Yuzhao only felt weak in his hands and feet, and a layer of cold sweat rose on his forehead and back. He put on his clothes shivering and opened the door. A eunuch in a red robe stood in front of the door with a few words.

This is to arrest someone! Hou Yuzhao wailed in his heart, it's over, it's all over.

The eunuch in Dahongpao was named Tian Fuju. He was a eunuch in charge of rituals and one of the martial arts training partners of the Ming Dynasty. When Tian Fuju saw Hou Yuzhao waking up, he said with a somewhat teasing smile: "Governor Hou is sleeping." woke up?"

"Oh, I woke up." Hou Yuzhao and Tian Fuju greeted each other, and he said with an annoyed look on his face.

"Before today's court meeting, His Majesty asked our family to come over. We saw that the Governor Hou was still sleeping soundly, so no one disturbed him." Tian Fuju said why Hou Yu Zhao overslept.

Hou Yuzhao was not alone when he entered the capital. He had slept with him, but the master had also slept with him? The master has slept, could it be that the scribe has also slept? So someone stopped him, and this person was Tian Fuju.

In fact, it was His Majesty’s order.

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "Ai Qing has been practicing in Daningwei and Liaodong for many years. What he has achieved is that his words just broke through the window paper. Ai Qing is still very powerful."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Hou Yuzhao was not stupid. After he figured out the key, he hurriedly thanked him.

Hou Yuzhao's eating speed could be described as a breeze. He finished eating as fast as possible, wiped his mouth clean and rinsed it, and then hurried to the edge of the dragon pond.

In the imperial edict, Zhu Yijun did not hesitate to praise him. He counted the achievements of Hou Yu Zhao one by one, and then announced that Hou Yu Zhao would patrol Liaodong as the right minister of the Ministry of War and still be in charge of all matters in Liaodong.

The Ming Dynasty had done it before, and Qi Jiguang really led his troops to fight, and the beating convinced the grassland people, and even the Wala people marched westward with their tails between their legs.

"I met Lin Fucheng on the way to the bookstore and chatted for a few words." Hou Yuzhao chose to tell the truth. Lin Fucheng's words gave him great inspiration.

After Hou Yuzhao took a shower and changed clothes, he finally woke up. After changing into court clothes and making sure that there was no problem with the etiquette, he got into the car and hurried to the imperial study room of Tonghe Palace. On the way, Hou Yuzhao took yesterday's I read the memorial written while drunk for a long time.

Most of the memorials submitted to the emperor were not written in one sitting. After the first draft was completed, the second time was copied and annotated, the typos were picked out, and some unclear sentences were changed, and the third time Transcript.

Lin Fucheng is not a god. He even said that he himself did not understand the word equality. Of course, it has an effect. He just condensed Hou Yuzhao's many years of practical experience into one.

The Ming Dynasty was attacking and opening up in all directions. What to do with these border residents in these newly opened lands was the top priority before them. Previously, they were only generally called border residents.

Hou Yuzhao's idea is that it is a discussion that is higher than the Huayi debate and a thinking based on the Songjiang School's theory of freedom and equality.

Zhu Yijun was still fishing, but Zhang Hong knew very well that His Majesty's mind was no longer on the fish. The fish float had sunk to the bottom and the fishing rod was bent. His Majesty did not notice it, but was lost in thought.

With a higher consensus, weaken and then collapse their own consensus, and finally complete the enlightenment.

"Since Governor Hou is awake, let's accept the edict." Tian Fuju gestured to the small yellow door to open the imperial edict, and he finished reading the imperial edict in a high and steady tone.

The whole memorial begins with the king of Xia and the people of Yi. Xia people are kings and Yi people are common people. "Yizhou Shu·Mingtang" says: Outside Wang Ji, every five hundred miles is a division, there are nine in total, and the seventh is Yifu. Therefore, Zhou Gong and King Wu attacked Zhou and conquered the world.

Hou Yu Zhao's loyalty to the emperor and the country is his passivity. Loyalty to the emperor and the country is not something that needs to be thought about, so he goes against the grain. Therefore, the starting point for thinking about the problem is the interests of the country, but Hou Yu Zhao seemed to have never thought about this kind of thing, everything was so natural.

Changing Chinese surnames, using Chinese characters, using Han script, and using Ming etiquette are the specific measures taken by fellow Ming people.

Hou Yuzhao was in such a hurry to meet the saint that he didn't even eat. This is what Tian Fuju told the emperor. He drank a lot of wine and slept until midnight without eating. He hurried to meet the saint. Hou Yuzhao never said loyalty, but Written with loyalty written all over it.

Zhu Yijun was fishing in Longchi. After having lunch, he was supposed to go to the capital camp to parade the military horses, but Hou Yuzhao was coming, so Zhu Yijun planned to delay for a while. Tian Fuju and His Majesty whispered twice, and Zhu Yijun signaled to Zhang Hong to pass a table of dishes. Imperial Room.

Hou Yu Zhao first discussed history, and then discussed the present. Today, the methods of the past cannot be used anymore, because these people are no longer the savages of the past. Some tribes have the glory of their ancestors, and even have writing, and have a general consensus. , a simple unified household registration will deliberately create conflicts, which can easily lead to border turmoil. These people who have a common understanding will become a destabilizing factor.

This method has always been used. For example, during the Warring States Period, the princes organized the barbarians into households to serve as civilians when they were clearing wasteland and farming, and as soldiers during the war. This practice continued until the Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a large number of barbarians were still organized into households. .

"My dear, please eat, and I will take a look at your memorial." Zhu Yijun motioned to Hou Yuzhao to go to dinner. He opened the memorial and read it carefully. He noticed the edge in it after reading it for the first time, and only understood it completely after reading it for the second time. Understood Hou Yuzhao’s thoughts.

"Qi Shuai conquered Bansheng to regain Hetao, Li Chengliang expanded territory in eastern Liaodong, the Duke of Guizhou and Liu Wei fought against Toungu in the southwest, Guo Zhengmao was in Luzon, and Xu Wei was in Nagasaki. These are all pioneering lands. The method proposed by Aiqing is good." Zhu Yijun looked at Hou Yuzhao and asked curiously: "How did you come up with it?"

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and shook his head and said: "No, it's still different. What you mean is that there are people in the world. It's not like I don't study. I can still distinguish clearly the concepts of king, earth, king, subject, king and people."

In fact, Hou Yuzhao didn't know the emperor at all. When he was in the capital, when his majesty was young, the most he could do was look at him from a distance. The last time he returned to the capital, he saw him, but he never saw him again.

Zhu Yijun: Life? what is that? I, the emperor, have the final say on matters in this world! If you are asked to be the governor, you are the governor!

What problem did Hou Yuzhao solve that deserves such praise from Zhu Yijun?
Wan Shihe said that barbarians have wolf-like faces and beast-like hearts, and are afraid of power but not moral. The translation means that barbarians are not honest. The more tolerant they are, the more they will slap their noses and faces. They must be beaten to establish rules.

Hou Yuzhao's memorial is to solve this problem of what rules to establish, systematically puts forward opinions on shaping a new consensus, and provides specific implementation measures and standards.

Judging from the handwriting, this is indeed his handwriting, but from the content, it is a bit strange no matter how you look at it. It is not that there is anything treacherous, but that its structure is complete, the logic is clear and meticulous, it has a beginning and an end, and it can be directly Submitted to the emperor.

"Aiqing is really loyal to the emperor and the country." Zhu Yijun looked at Hou Yuzhao who was very worried and motioned for him to sit down and talk.

Hou Yuzhao's method is to create a consensus. In every Ming Dynasty, everyone is the king and the people.

However, Wan Shi and this set of issues based on the Huayi debate system, what kind of rules should be established after the fight, have not been resolved.

Wang Qian met Hou Yuzhao by chance, and Hou Yuzhao returned to Huitongguanyi very drunk. After Zhu Yijun found out, in order to avoid the problem of Hou Yuzhao losing his etiquette in front of the emperor, Zhu Yijun asked Tian Fu to come and sleep as much as he wanted. It's not too late to start working again. I have been working outside the Great Wall for almost ten years, and it's time to take a rest.

Hou Yuzhao believes that dividing the border people by tribes such as the Beilu, Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen, Yeren Jurchen, and Waikarkha will ultimately lead to only one result, and the border will gradually lose control, because as long as their consensus does not collapse, Then around these consensuses, there will inevitably be turmoil.

Hou Yuzhao's method has practical guiding significance and can be widely used. This is Hou Yuzhao's passivity.

Therefore, when the emperor received a memorial with typos, it proved that the minister had no reverence and did not even check for typos.

When Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to come out, Zhu Yijun still had the basic qualities of an emperor, namely, visiting the thatched cottage three times and being a courtesy corporal.

Isn't the glory of Beilu the result of Hu Yuan's taking over the Central Plains? It would be harmful to the Ming Dynasty to allow them to maintain such a consensus. Does maintaining such a consensus make sense to the Tatars? Maintaining such a consensus is a historical burden for the Tatars. They can only continue to confront the Central Plains and resist Wang Hua. This is also painful for the Tatars who completely rely on the Central Plains to maintain their lives.

Hou Yuzhao said very modestly: "It's just an old wisdom picked up from others' wisdom. I have said so many things, that the world under Pu Tian is not the king's soil, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers."

Of course Zhu Yijun knew that Hou Yuzhao was drunk. Taibai Tower was the property of Huangzhuang, Huitongguanyi was also the yamen of the Ming Dynasty, and Hou Yuzhao, who was about to be the governor, attracted even more attention.

A big and thorny problem was solved in one visit.

After Hou Yuzhao and His Majesty had a very in-depth communication about this unnamed memorial, Zhu Yijun picked up the ink pen and wrote "Beishan New Treatise" in the spring breeze. The world belongs to the king and his ministers. The concept was proposed by Beishan in the Book of Songs, so the concept of people in the world was proposed by Hou Yuzhao, so it is called Beishan New Theory.

Hou Yuzhao felt that His Majesty's understanding was wrong and misinterpreted his meaning. His original meaning was: All the people in the world are His Majesty's subjects. Your Majesty is the only sky. It should be the king's people in the world, not the king's people. People, there is only one word difference, but their fundamental consciousness is completely different.

But Hou Yuzhao made a mistake before, and he could sleep through the moment of meeting the saint. He was somewhat lacking in confidence, and Hou Yuzhao didn't know how to persuade His Majesty. He thought for a moment and asked: "Your Majesty, how should this people be characterized?" What? I thought it would be easier for the king and the people to execute it.”

"In practice, Wang Min is more useful." Zhu Yijun admitted that he is somewhat idealistic. In practice, Wang Min is the optimal solution, but the word "People" is more like the illusion of Fantasyland and Utopia. .

Zhu Yijun explained: "The people can be characterized, that is, all individuals, classes, and collectives that agree, support, and actually participate in the construction of the Ming Dynasty belong to this category."

"The people are loyal to the emperor and the country." Hou Yuzhao suddenly said in conclusion.

It is indeed very difficult to expect everyone in the Ming Dynasty to be loyal to the emperor and the country. It is just like the Confucian world of unity, as long as everyone has virtue, the world will be unified. It is also unrealistic, and the king and the people are more of a kind of surrender and intimidation. We can only accept force, general trend, law, public order and good customs, which is more realistic.

"Let this be the case, and I won't change it." Although Zhu Yijun admitted that he was unrealistic, he still didn't want to change it. This term was not coined by Zhu Yijun. It was the word "Zhi'er people" in "The Book of Songs, Daya, and Yi". I sincerely Erhou Du, use Jie not to worry, which means that the princes should arrange the people who support you, abide by the law and not be willful, in order to prevent disaster from happening suddenly.

"Then we won't change it." Hou Yuzhao also felt that there was nothing that needed to be corrected. Anyway, in terms of execution, the king, the people, and the king had to submit. Hou Yuzhao told the emperor interesting things about Liaodong. This was a novel experience for Zhu Yijun, who lived deep in the palace and was bound to the throne. He needed to sit on the throne and the golden toilet to suppress dissidents. The four evil gods of space.

"Li Chengliang calls people cows and horses?" Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows.

Hou Yuzhao nodded and said: "Yes, at least Ning Yuanhou did not treat people as trivial, which is already very good in my opinion."

Cows and horses need to be given fodder, comforted when they are kicking, looked after when they are sick, and paired up when they need to reproduce. Treating people as nothing but grass is the despicable behavior of carnivores. Treating people like cattle and horses In Hou Yuzhao's view, this was already a sign of kindness.

Only then did Zhu Yijun realize that this metaphor had already been used in the Ming Dynasty. Cows and horses were used as a metaphor for people who were forced to do hard labor by others in life.

So, is it better for ordinary people to work as grass and mustards, or as cattle and horses? Zhu Yijun couldn't tell, but at least the cattle and horses could still get fodder.

Hou Yuzhao left the palace, thankful that he survived the catastrophe and did not go to court on time. Not only did he not incur the emperor's thunderous wrath, but he also had a meal in the palace. This was enough for him and Li Chengliang to brag for several years, and he himself The memorial attracted His Majesty's attention. His Majesty personally mentioned the name of the memorial and gave annotations.

Hou Yuzhao was clearly aware that his holy relatives were prosperous, but he just realized that it had no influence on him. In fact, he was not very good at using these holy relatives to form cliques for personal gain? Usaging authority? Doing evil? It seems not as interesting as cultivating wasteland.

After receiving new official uniforms and seals from the staff, and collecting the emperor's reward from the emperor to Li Chengliang in his internal funds, Hou Yuzhao happily returned to Liaodong to continue reclaiming wasteland. What he had to do was no different from the past, which was to hoe the earth. , he doesn’t think that gaining the Holy Family has brought more changes to his life.

Hou Yuzhao felt that he was right, because he had always been a member of the Holy Family in Zailong before, but he just didn't realize it.

Wang Chonggu was very envious of Hou Yuzhao's holy family. Of course, he also agreed with His Majesty's favor, because it was given to Hou Yuzhao. People like Hou Yuzhao would not be able to do anything with it. Hou Yuzhao was actually much like the Ming Dynasty. The epitome of Xunli, he doesn't have so many ambitions, he just does things down-to-earth, and he deserves this kind of favor.

"The Engineer Corps Battalion has begun to build the Suiyuan Chi Road." In the Wenhua Hall, Wang Chonggu reported on the progress of the Engineer Corps Battalion. The construction of the Chi Road along the Guandaoyi Road is already in progress, not in preparation. Seventy thousand skilled workers Craftsmen have begun to build bridges, pave roads and lay ballast, and the corresponding lime plants, steel plants and many other official factories have also begun construction.

Construction of Suiyuan Chi Road, which has been in preparation for nearly a year, has started!
In the next three to five years, Suiyuan will be a large construction site, and this kind of construction will be conducive to the Ming Dynasty's transformation of Suiyuan, and will also help Suiyuan's mineral deposits to enter the hinterland, including coal, iron, copper and silver. The mineral resources in the north have laid a solid foundation for the realization of coal-silver convection.

The convection of coal and silver will be a very important cycle for the Ming Dynasty. After the north obtains silver, it will better obtain handicraft products and food from the south. From now on, the scholar-bureaucrats in Nanya can no longer shout that the north is a loser and should be eliminated because Coal, iron, copper and silver are all urgently needed.

"Your Majesty, I believe that coal and steel should be joint ventures and exclusive franchises." Wang Chonggu finally took action on coal.

The salt and iron monopoly has always been a weapon for the past dynasties to accumulate. The Ming Dynasty formulated a salt introduction system around salt. However, since the eighteen official iron factories were abolished during the Hongwu period, there was only iron class, which levied taxes from the private sector for state use. , there is no ironware franchise.

The Yanyin system had been corrupted to the point of being almost unusable during the Hongzhi period, and Yanyin was used more as a currency supplement.

Coal and steel joint ventures and franchises were Wang Chonggu's proposition on the basis of government-factory alliances. They had no other purpose than making money.

This kind of heavy asset investment is not something that powerful powerful people can do. Likewise, the huge profits cannot be easily controlled by powerful powerful people. Just like in the early Han Dynasty, the Seven Kingdoms controlled the coinage. The rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms came out.

To be more clear, coal and steel are a form of violence.

"What Cifu said is reasonable, what do you think?" Zhu Yijun looked at the other courtiers in the Wenhua Palace. Once the coal and steel monopoly was confirmed, the court and the people would compete for profits, and all the courtiers were gathering sycophants.

"Before the imperial court intervened, there was no monopoly on coal and steel. I have not seen any large-scale production of coal and steel. Let's franchise it." Wang Guoguang made a statement on behalf of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Ming Dynasty is two hundred years old. The imperial court did not interfere before. At that time, there was no industrial scale. Mentougou coal mining was even disliked by dogs.

In theory, the invisible big hand seems perfect, but once it is reflected in reality, you will find that meat-eaters are despicable and short-sighted. This is the reality.

"I agree." Wang Daokun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, naturally gave his full support, which increased the voice of the Ministry of Industry. No matter who becomes the chief minister in the future, he must thank the two ministers of the Ministry of Industry, Guo Chaobin and Wang Daokun, for their efforts. No longer a transparent person in the court.

"Liang Song Coal specializes in two hundred coins per pound of coal. The imperial court should prevent such things from happening. This is the only thing I have to say. I agree." Hai Rui looked around and expressed his position on behalf of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Metropolitan Procuratorate will perform its duties as an important component of the wrong power.

The price of civilian coal in the Ming Dynasty has not increased for a long time. Although the price of honeycomb briquettes with loess is now six cents per catty, it seems that the price has increased, but the combustion of honeycomb briquettes is more complete. This is a technological progress, not an increase. price.

Zeng Shengwu, Minister of the Ministry of War, said quite seriously: "Gambling houses in and around the official factory must be completely banned. All the hard-earned money will be thrown into the gambling houses, and these arrogant lackeys will use the dice to make money." Stripping is something that is not allowed to happen. The factory should increase its efforts to enforce laws and regulations, and will not tolerate it if it is discovered. "

"When necessary, you can also activate the Emperor Ming's ancestral edict and chop off the hands of the person who set up the bet to serve as a warning to others."

Zeng Shengwu's conservative background has not changed. The laws and regulations of the Emperor Ming's ancestral edict are actually dormant clauses. It is indeed very reasonable for conservatives to respect the laws established by their ancestors.

The Legislative Affairs Office is a government office in the official factory, but it is composed of retired soldiers. It is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of War. It arranges the old, injured, and seriously ill soldiers, and maintains the laws of the official factory. The law is from Yongding Mao Ni At the beginning of the factory, Wang Chonggu, the Minister of Justice, constantly emphasized this, and coupled with the implementation of the three musts, the management of the official factory became more perfect.

"I agree." As the Minister of Rites, Wan Shihe didn't mince words, but just expressed his agreement. He has been busy with the third-level school recently. The expansion of government, factory, and group construction will be conducive to the development of culture and education, and it will be despicable tomorrow. Too many Confucians are the biggest headache for the Ministry of Rites.

When it comes to profits tax, it is indeed a tax increase on precious metals. If you object to prevent outflow, just oppose it. The government, factory, regiment and the third-level schools of the engineering corps camp also oppose it. This is a disease. Even liberals like Lin Fucheng also oppose it. He believes that receiving education should be the freedom of everyone in Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Juzheng was also in charge of the Ministry of Officials. He wrote the floating notes and sent them to the emperor for approval.

Zhu Yijun signed the seal, looked at the memorial, looked at Wang Chonggu and said: "The creation of the law by the official factory group was in the hands of Wang Cifu, from scratch, from small to large, from woolen cloth to all aspects of the Ming Dynasty. Cifu made great contributions and judged the Spring and Autumn Period. The benefit lies in the present, and the merit lies in the future. No matter how anyone misinterprets it in the future, Wang Cifu’s achievements cannot be erased and no one can steal them.”

"I thank your Majesty for your kindness." Wang Chonggu bowed his head again to express his gratitude.

Hou Yu Zhao's idea that "one Ming Dynasty is composed of kings and people" was unanimously approved by the courtiers. This Hou Yu Zhao worked outside the Great Wall for more than nine years and published another memorial, which impressed the courtiers. , compared with the master who was awarded the fifth-class merit award, this "Beishan New Commentary" is Hou Yuzhao's experience and his practice.

It proves that Hou Yuzhao's ability is not just a flash of inspiration, but a real talent, and he constantly sums up experience in practice.

"This governor, just like that, returned to Liaodong again?" Wang Daokun didn't know Hou Yuzhao very well. According to the usual practice, when he became a governor, he had to set up a table in the capital, even if he didn't worship at the top of a mountain. It is also necessary to recognize the heads of the major mountains. Whose governor received the imperial edict and left like this?

Even if you don't set up a table, it's always appropriate to go to the three major halls to pay homage to the mountain and connect with each other.

No! Hou Yuzhao left simply and directly.

Zhang Juzheng coughed slightly and said: "Hou Yuzhao has an innocent heart and is different from ordinary people. He should not be treated with common sense. According to Huitongguanyi's memorial, Hou Yuzhao's master reminded him, but the spring plowing in Liaodong has come to an end. At that time, Hou Yu Zhao was really worried, so he left in a hurry. "

Hou Yuzhao doesn't understand. His master doesn't understand these human relationships?
The master advised Hou Yu Zhao, but Hou Yu Zhao thought about it and decided not to waste time.

One grain of millet is planted in spring and ten thousand grains are harvested in autumn. Because of the road construction, it only takes eight days for Hou Yuzhao to enter Beijing. However, these few days make Hou Yuzhao always worried about spring plowing. He is in a dilemma. Just left.

The discussion between the two was not quiet, and someone in Huitongguanyi heard it.

"What's more interesting is that Hou Yuzhao planned to leave the master to visit around. The master cursed a few times and followed Hou Yuzhao back to Liaodong." Zhang Juzheng said while holding back a smile.

The Ming Gongs in the Wenhua Palace looked at each other and laughed.

Although the master can often represent Hou Yuzhao, if you visit the court officials and ask the master to visit, isn't that just a big mouth out of the public? It's better not to visit. The master is already very polite when he scolds people. He doesn't abandon him. He is regarded as a comrade who walks together and enjoys the same things.

Apart from drinking, Hou Yuzhao is really not good at dealing with people.

The innocent heart is to scold people for being stupid, but what Zhang Juzheng said here is a compliment. Half of the Ming Dynasty must be officials like Hou Yuzhao. The Ming Dynasty can now reach the peak of the West, beat Felipe II to surrender, and sacrifice the Japanese army. Don't lose the name of the empire.

This is also the charm of the Kaosheng method. If you can do things, you can be promoted, but it is not difficult to move forward without friends and teachers. This is also a kind of freedom. The master tolerates nepotism and is promoted, and he worships someone's sect, and is the stooge of the sect.

If he hadn't passed the examination, it would have been impossible for Hou Yuzhao to take the position of governor.

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel discussed that the Liaodong Capital Division should be separated from the jurisdiction of the Chief Secretary of Shandong and promoted from the Capital Division to a province." Zhang Juzheng took out a proposal from the Ministry of Personnel and Affairs to separate the Capital Division of Liaodong from the jurisdiction of Shandong and become the Governor of Liaodong. Shisi officially became a province and one of the first-level administrative regions of the Ming Dynasty.

"It can be clearly seen from the Kan map that Liaodong is no longer suitable for the simple military control of the Dusi. Since the first year of Wanli, the land in Liaodong has been continuously expanded, reaching Jilin, and is still expanding northward. The military control of the Dusi The yamen can no longer meet the needs of the people in Liaodong." Zhang Juzheng stated his reasons.

This is an objective fact. The territory is too big and it can no longer be effectively managed and ruled by simple military restraint.

"There is a shortage of officials." Wan Shihe's face looked as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

"Great Law" starts! Any sergeant or official who does not serve the emperor will be killed!
