Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 626 Majesty
"How is the salt reform implemented by Yuan Shizhen in Shandong going?" Zhu Youxiao ignored Qian Qianyi and the others. Instead, he looked at Zhu Guozuo and Bi Ziyan and asked calmly.

"Your Majesty."

Zhu Guozuo bowed and said: "As of this month, the cabinet has received corresponding memorials. The transfer of Zao households under Shandong has basically been implemented, and these Zao households have been properly resettled."

"The government-run salt fields in Liqing, Shandong, have basically resumed operation. In addition, the sea salt fields opened in the coastal areas of Jinan, Qingzhou, Dengzhou, Laizhou and other prefectures have been completed..."

While the wars and conflicts inside and outside the Ming Dynasty continued to ferment and advance, some matters involving the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty were also progressing step by step.

Although many parts of the Ming Dynasty were affected by internal and external wars and conflicts, basic stability could still be ensured.

In particular, the group of pillars that Zhu Youxiao relies on play a role in their respective jurisdictions. On the one hand, they stabilize the local situation and on the other hand, they promote the implementation of the established deployment.

The pressure should be placed on those who are officials. Since you have chosen to be an official, you cannot just enjoy all kinds of benefits and fame without doing practical work.

As for the lower class groups in Ming Dynasty, the only thing Zhu Youxiao can do is to try his best to reduce their burden.

From the abolition of the apportionment of taxes, to never increasing taxes, to the edicts to exempt and increase taxes...these policies that affected the entire Ming Dynasty were all tightening the belt on central and local officials, making them afraid to touch them easily. These red lines then reduce the oppression and exploitation of the bottom class.

If anyone dares to openly touch these things, then he must not let Zhu Youxiao know about it. As long as he knows about it, even if the King of Heaven comes, he will definitely be killed! !
"Tell Yuan Shizhen to go to Lianghuai immediately and rectify the Lianghuai salt administration!!"

After listening to Zhu Guozuo's report, Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows and said: "Deploy the Jingwu Army to leave the capital and go to the Huaihe River. During Yuan Shizhen's rectification of the Huaihe River, if anyone dares to make any changes, the Jingwu Army will suppress and intimidate anyone!!"

It's over, things are getting big.

Qian Qianyi and Sun Ruyou, who were kneeling on the ground, were shocked when they heard this. Yuan Shizhen went to Lianghuai, which would be more harmful than Qi Jin.

After all, Qi Jin is a martial artist, and he doesn't understand some of the tricks at all, but Yuan Shizhen is different. He has been in Lianghuai before, so he must know a lot of things.

The key is that when Yuan Shizhen went to Lianghuai, he did not go there alone. The Jingwu Army, one of the emperor's personal troops, also went with him, which was not fun.

Speaking of the Jingwu Army and the Huben Army, the reorganized armies of the emperor, the imperial court had no knowledge of them before. The emperor formed them without any warning. The key is that the food and salary expenses of these armies were all allocated from the emperor's internal funds. This is After many people in the DPRK knew about it, they couldn't find any reason to refute it.

And this is exactly what Zhu Youxiao wants!
The barrel of the gun is more reliable in his own hand, and even the food he eats is provided by him as the emperor, so the soldiers below have no reason to betray him.

The greater the pressure now, the greater the pressure. When some of the dirty things involving the amount of military expenditures are cleared up, Zhu Youxiao will have officials in the outer court to make it clear that the amount of military expenditures allocated every year must be established as a rule, and how much increase must be maintained every year. This has to be finalized.

From now on, if the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty want to get involved in the military power, the big label of deliberate rebellion and evil intentions will definitely be pinned on their heads.

"Also, the cabinet issued an edict to Lianghuai."

While the ministers were thinking a lot, Zhu Youxiao continued: "After Qi Jin and Yuan Shizhen arrive at Lianghuai, they will lead a group of people to me to go to South Zhili!!"

"How bad are the Zuling Guards and the Imperial Tomb Guards? What about the Xiaoling Guards in Nanjing? What about the Xianling Guards in Xingdu? Give me orders one by one, go to Nanjing first, and then go to Xingdu!!"

"The minister obeys the order."

Zhu Guozuo immediately bowed in response. It's just that all the ministers in the cabinet who heard this knew the emperor's thoughts. The rectification of Xiaoling Guard and Xianling Guard was just superficial. The key point was that the emperor wanted to scare Xiao Xiao.

If during this period, Qi Jin and his troops dare to find out something else, I am afraid that there will be unrest in Nanzhili (Yingtianfu) and Huguang (Chengtianfu). What will happen then? No one knows It's not easy to guess, and I don't dare to guess.

After all, the emperor never rubs sand in his eyes.

"The gang of traitors who were arrested and executed in Lianghuai are all included in the traitor records, and all the evil deeds they committed during their lifetimes are written down for me."

Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "I want to let everyone in the world know what these guys have done. I will print more of the new issue of the traitorous records compiled by me and distribute them to all prefectures and counties in the world. This money is Money out!”

"Since you have become an official in the Ming Dynasty, don't think about getting rich. If you want to get rich, don't be an official. If anyone dares to violate this iron rule, then I don't mind using the "Imperial Imperial Edict" to talk to them about Taoism!"

This matter is not over yet.

All the ministers standing in the hall had their own thoughts after hearing what the emperor said, especially Sun Ruyou who was kneeling on the ground. He was extremely regretful at this moment.

If I had known this was the case, I should not have insisted on my own ideas and allowed some people to do whatever they want in Zhejiang. Now, with the Lianghuai incident, I am afraid that Cui Chengxiu and others in Zhejiang will definitely not I will give up and give up.

In the past few months, the situation in the court has become less turbulent, but the turmoil in Liaodong and other places has deeply affected the court and even affected many places.

During this period, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes were staring at the court.

This is how Zhu Youxiao wants to tell the vested interest groups hiding behind the scenes that no one should go too far. If you really want to go too far, then just have fun.

The more this happens, the more difficult it is to take a step back.

Especially in the southeastern provinces.

No one knows better than Zhu Youxiao that there are big thunders lurking in the southeastern provinces, and a slave rebellion that will affect a wide range of people and last for a long time is on the verge of breaking out.

There are very few references to this matter in the historical records, or even none at all, but Zhu Youxiao knew that this was just some officials and gentry in the southeastern provinces, well, the gang of twenty-five young men who surrendered to the Jianlu, in order to cover up the The impact of this incident was deliberately erased from historical data to prevent future generations from following the old path of resistance.

The impact of slave change is too great.

This is tantamount to shaking the foundation of the famous family.

Zhu Youxiao did not allow such a thing to happen, because the turmoil caused by the slave rebellion was too great, which would shake the Ming Dynasty's foundation in the southeastern provinces.

But Zhu Youxiao would never be lenient in attacking the so-called famous families and the so-called gentry group.

In the future, if the Ming Dynasty wants to continue to open up the sea, a southeastern province that obeys the central hub is a prerequisite. Without this prerequisite, relying solely on the ports that have emerged in the northern provinces is far from enough!
Under Zhu Youxiao's overall concept, the northern provinces are mainly responsible for the northern Xinjiang region, the Central Plains and northwest provinces are mainly responsible for the Western Region, the southeastern provinces are mainly responsible for the Nanyang region, and the southwest provinces are mainly responsible for the Indochina Peninsula. Each part must form a strong A strong core of support is enough.

This is undoubtedly a grand blueprint. It may not be fully implemented in the Tianqi Dynasty, but this grand blueprint must at least lay the foundation in the Tianqi Dynasty. Otherwise, there will be no pillars to support the construction of the Han cultural circle. Then even if the Ming Dynasty really laid down many places , in the end it will collapse because it is not supported...
