Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 178 My little tiger will stop complaining?

Early in the morning, Zhu Zhen ordered hundreds of people to beheaded.

This made people in Guangnan City panic all day, and no one dared to go out and walk around on the streets, which was even more obedient than the strictest curfew.

Zhu Ming didn't care about this. He knew that he wanted to show both kindness and power. His power had already been raised, and he only had to spread the benefits to win over the people.

So Zhu Zhen asked someone to find the account books in the government office. He couldn't bear to work hard for Mu Qiu, so he sat there and started reading.

"Huh? Is this account book that simple?" Although Zhu Zhen had asked people to re-measure the land and re-calculate household registrations before.

But those were all done by the people below, including the account books, and it was Mu Qiu who read the results and gave him the results.

Zhu Ming has always been a hands-off shopkeeper.

But looking at it now, it’s not that difficult.

Account books in ancient times were, to put it bluntly, one in and one out.

For example, how much is the income and how much is the output in a certain year, month and day.

Zhu Ming sighed deeply, even if he was not professionally qualified, he could still understand it at a glance.

And although the Zhuang people live in Guangnan Mansion, the Chinese characters are used to keep accounts.

This is because after Qin Shihuang unified Lingnan, he implemented the policy of writing with the same text, and Lingnan included Guangxi and eastern Yunnan. In other words, although they are Zhuang people, most of them speak Chinese and understand Chinese characters, which is equivalent to a dialect.

After comparing the account books, Zhu Chu could find out how much income Nong Zhenyou had received each year in the past ten years, how much he had spent, and finally calculated the current grain reserves.

"Although it is simple, it is too rudimentary. It seems that the accounts minus the accounts are equal to the balance, but in fact there is no intermediate budget. For example, daily consumption, including the application expenses of the Nong family, are also spent from here, but Only the big ones are taken into account, and the small ones are not taken into account. Even if someone embezzles from it, there is no way to know."

Although this is only the account book of Guangnan City, at most it only has the accounts of a city.

But Zhu Ming found that there are too many dirty places in today's account book recording method.

And there is no whipping method yet, let alone the return of Xian to the public and so on.

It can be said that there are too many miscellaneous taxes and there are too many places where there is corruption.

Now is the Hongwu period. With the Hongwu Emperor sitting in the court, he can still control the hands of those officials.

What about later?
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, corruption was so serious. Coupled with the many party members, especially the strife between the eunuchs and the Donglin Party, it was the real culprit that caused the downfall of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhen had his own idea.

He had thought before that he had to do all these things: to change his land and return to his family, to return his wealth to his father's family, and to share his land with his family.

Now it seems that the algorithm not only needs to develop mathematics, but also needs to reform the accounting method.

According to the records in the account book, Zhu Zhen asked people to find Nong Zhenyou's granary.

Although Nong Zhenyou took away a batch of grain and grass before, after so many years, the granary is still full, with countless grains piled up.

"Let the common people come and collect the food," Zhu Zhen asked Wang Fu to go down and make arrangements.

Although the population of each household has not yet been re-counted, he is now eager to appease and win people's hearts. Only when the people get actual benefits can everyone believe in him.

When Wang Fu sent someone to notify the people to come and collect food, the whole city was in a commotion.

They didn't expect that what Zhu Xi said was true?Do you really want to open a warehouse to store grain?
And there is no distinction between adults or children, women or old people, only based on the number of people, how much rations each person can receive, enough to eat the beginning of the next spring, and even the first harvest of the next year.

Originally, every household had some grain in storage, but now that Zhu Chu had distributed such a large amount of grain, granaries were piled up in people's homes.

Not only the people in Guangnan City, Zhu Zhen also asked Mu Sheng to send several teams of cavalry, and then issued a notice to every village and county in Guangnan Prefecture, first explaining the causes and consequences of Nong Zhenyou's rebellion to his destruction, and also stating that Zhu Zhen would not pursue the case. As well as angering the people, they have to redistribute the land, and even now they are about to distribute food to the people.

The entire Guangnan Mansion was in great panic. The entire army of [-] wolf soldiers was completely destroyed?

But soon, Zhu Chu sent out several more teams of soldiers and horses to escort carts and carts of grain, from near to far, to distribute grain to villages and villages.

With such a big deal and such a big benefit, the people went crazy.

It is said that in those days, every house in Guangnan Prefecture smoked from chimneys and the aroma of rice wafted from every house.

Although [-] strong men died in Guangnan Mansion.

But there is nothing more practical than saying, that is, those who are alive will always live on.

Moreover, the Ming army followed Zhu Xi's policy and did ideological work on the people from the grassroots level, letting them understand right and wrong, and even allowing them to empathize and think about issues from Zhu Xi's perspective.

In the end, the family members of those who died cursed their children for being ignorant. Such a good prince, how could he rebel?
Buy people's hearts?

It’s really about winning people’s hearts.

However, compared to Binong Zhenyou and other chieftains who didn't even bother to win over people's hearts, what Zhu Chu did was really precious.

In today's era, especially in the chieftain tribes in these remote areas, the chieftains have too much authority and don't even bother to win people's hearts.

In their eyes, the people are just livestock.

However, Zhu Zhen regarded them as human beings, and even promised them a better future and life, giving them greater hope.

Although the children and husbands of the common people were killed by Zhu Zhen, now no one hates Zhu Zhen anymore. Instead, they all hate Nong Zhenyou. If he hadn't rebelled and killed their children and husbands.

When the prince comes and [-] wolf soldiers follow the prince, what a glorious future will there be.

Nong Zhenyou is really hateful, and all the chieftains are hateful.

Slowly, the people of Guangnan Prefecture began to spontaneously hate those chieftains. Not only their own chiefs, but also the chiefs of other tribes who were Zhuang compatriots in Guangxi, spontaneously resisted and despised them.

After all, this place is too close to Guangxi. Originally, Guangnan Mansion was affiliated with Guangxi Road, and Guangxi is the main gathering place of the Zhuang people.

Many Zhuang chiefs in Guangxi felt surprised and aggrieved. It was simply baffling that we did not rebel with Nong Zhenyou.

Alas, this King of Dian is a bit unreasonable. Are you poaching others like this, or are you just a human being?

At the same time, people began to spread the news about Zhu Zhu's admiration for Zhuang wolf soldiers, which also attracted many Zhuang soldiers in Guangxi.

If the chieftains of the major tribes hadn't been watching closely, I'm afraid many of them would have gone to Guangnan Mansion to seek refuge with Zhu Chu, right?

But don't worry, there is no vassal king in Guangxi now.

At least Zhu Xi is not in a hurry now.

The situation in Guangnan Prefecture finally stabilized, and with the Nong chieftain clan being wiped out, the matter of returning to the native land was quickly implemented.

Zhu Chu abandoned the chieftain system on the spot and selected a respected old man from the local area to be the acting prefect.

After all, it is a place with one government. Unlike Yingjiang County, which is just a county government, a prefect must be set up here.

In addition to the prefect, Zhu Chu did not leave a Ming army behind, but established a special group of female soldiers from the local area to serve as an armed force for patrol and defense in the city.

The reason is that the Zhuang people advocate force, and many children will practice a local boxing called Zhuangquan from an early age. No wonder they say that Guangxi's wolf soldiers are the most powerful in the world.

Therefore, even if they are female soldiers, the Zhuang people still have considerable strength.

In addition, countless men died in Guangnan Mansion this time, leaving many inconveniences for the Ming army.

What's more, Zhu Zhen has a system that can monitor the loyalty issues here at any time, so he is not afraid that someone will rebel again.

In fact, the loyalty of the people of Guangnan Prefecture now even exceeds that of Qiubei County, which is Weimo Prefecture.

So Zhu Zhen was relieved.

Moreover, because he did not look down on women, he was loved by many Zhuang women. It is said that many young girls were even bold enough to give him flowers when they met him on the street.

Mu Qiu was quite jealous of this.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Chu has stayed in Guangnan City for more than ten days, and even spent the New Year here.

Mainly, there are many things to deal with, including re-measurement and reallocation of land, etc. These must be allocated before spring plowing, otherwise it will be even more troublesome.

Finally, everything went smoothly, and Zhu Min's team also helped him share his worries, and practice made perfect.

Finally, on the tenth day of the first lunar month of the new year, Zhu Zhen led the army on the road to leave Guangnan Mansion.

When they learned that Zhu Chu was leaving Guangnan Mansion, the people in the city spontaneously came out to see him off.

Different from the resistance of the people at the beginning, now they are reluctant to leave Zhu Ming.

Because instead of being arrogant and bullying, the Ming army here loved the people and even took the initiative to help them.

Especially since Zhu Zhenggui is the prince, he never puts on airs or makes people kneel down when he is parading in the city. He is not only approachable, but also blends in with the people.During the Chinese New Year, the people sang and danced, and he happily joined the people. Although he couldn't dance, he also participated.

Such a prince has never been heard of or heard of.

Not to mention that he was a prince, even Nong Zhenyou was the chief of the great chief. Ordinary people would not dare to offend him. If they met him on the street, they would have to kowtow and say hello.

How could they not love such a prince?

Before the prince came, their people were in dire straits.

After the prince left, the common people had their own land, and from now on they only had to pay taxes according to the regulations of the court, which was only a few dou per acre.

It was a huge difference from before when I only had a few buckets left for my own use and the rest had to be handed over to the Nong family.

Zhu Ming mentioned what he had promised before, fairness, fairness, and fairness.

He did it.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, May you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."

Suddenly, earth-shattering farewell calls rang out in the city.

Zhu Ming turned around on his horse and looked at the many people who were chasing them outside the city. He raised his hands with a smile and sighed: "The people are all honest, damn those chieftain families."

What lovely people, all they want is to live, just a piece of land, a field that can support their family.

If the Zhu family conquers the world but cannot feed and clothe the people, how will it be different from the previous dynasty?How is it different from the brutal Meng Yuan?

Therefore, it is never a question of who wins the world, but who can win the love and support of the people.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

When the Great Yuan cavalry was at its most powerful, didn't they surrender wherever their horses' hooves went?

Dayuan acquired a large amount of land and was once the overlord of the world.

But in the end, it was not destroyed.

If you don't let the people live, they will die anyway, so I'll overthrow you.

Since everything is death, then we can only live by letting you die.

The people are already the most patient class in the world. If they are forced to rebel in this way, it can only be said to be a mistake by the rulers.

Zhu Ming thought as he led the army outside Guangnan Mansion.

Along the way, every time we passed a village, people would spontaneously come to see him off.

I think Zhu Chu's reputation has reached its peak in Guangnan Mansion.

From the time when the eleven villages in Weimo Prefecture rebelled, Nong Zhenyou took the opportunity to raise [-] troops.

In just over a month, Zhu Zhen quickly put down the rebellion and won the hearts and minds of the people in both places. This speed and ability can be described as amazing.

While Wang Fu was amazed in his heart, he discovered a question and asked Zhu Zhen: "Your Highness, isn't this the direction to go back?"

"Go back? Who said you are going back?" Zhu Zhen wondered, and said: "I have asked Muchun to go to the north of Kunming to promote the return of native land to local people. And we don't plan to go back next, but to Fuzhou. "

Fuzhou, also known as Tufuzhou, is today's Funing County.

Although Fuzhou is affiliated to Guangnan Prefecture, it also has its own Tusi Prefecture, which is also connected to Guangxi and is also the living area of ​​the Zhuang people.

When Nong Zhenyou rebelled, he did not have time to recruit Fuzhou chieftains and strong men here. After Zhu Chu left Guangnan Prefecture, his next stop was this state.

At the same time, Zhu Ming took out a memorial and handed it to Wang Fu, asking him to send someone to Kunming to deliver it to Muchun.

"This is a memorial to counter the rebellion. I have to show it to Lao Zhu, otherwise he will have crazy thoughts. Oh, it's really difficult for me. I still have to guard the border and defend the country, and I have to be jealous of Lao Zhu. It's painful. It’s also difficult,” Zhu Ming sang in a Beijing accent at the end.

It is a pity that the current capital is Yingtian, which is Nanjing, rather than Shuntian Yanjing, which is Beijing.

Moreover, Peking Opera has not existed since ancient times. It was during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty that the four major Anhui troupes came to Beijing, and then gradually evolved through various types of music from all over the world.

Although it is the quintessence of China, in the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing as Peking Opera and Peking Opera.

what is that?
Of course Wang Fu did not dare to neglect, and quickly sent a horseman to rush to Kunming.

"Oh, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, run slowly, don't get tired," but Zhu Zhen stopped the knight and told him not to be in a hurry, but to take his time.

Wang Fu looked at Zhu Zhen with a strange expression.

Zhu Ming rolled his eyes angrily: "Damn, I finally came out, Old Wang, what do you mean? This memorial has arrived in Yingtian, what if Old Zhu calls me to Beijing again? And this time I When we come out, we must completely pacify Yunnan in one fell swoop. So don’t mess around with me."

Wang Fu was startled and asked quickly: "How about letting him walk?"

Even the cavalry rolled their eyes at the commander, Sir, why don't you just send the infantry?I am a cavalryman, and you want me to lead the horse and walk on the ground by myself?Be human.

Mu Qiu covered his mouth and snickered.

"There's no need to procrastinate, just walk normally. After the influence of Guangnan Prefecture, Fuzhou won't be a big problem. It's even possible that once we go there, people will support us."

"Moreover, most of Yunnan has surrendered before. What I'm worried about is that there are two places south of Simodian and north of Kunming. Let's clean it up," Zhu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing murderous intent that he no longer tried to hide.

Wang Fu was secretly shocked. It seemed that His Highness was going to make countless heads fall to the ground again.

And the cavalryman also understood. After taking the memorial written by Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Yuanzhang, he really started to set off on the road leisurely.

In fact, Zhu Chu had already arrived in Fuzhou. He hadn't even left Guangnan Mansion yet and stayed at some people's homes for two days.

However, he did not live in vain. Zhu Xi never defaulted or deducted the pay for his troops. The soldiers were very wealthy, and during the battle, if money was found from the enemy, it was distributed directly to the soldiers.

Zhu Zhen was not short of money. He just asked the soldiers to collect a large number of copper and iron tools from the enemies and give them to him. As for the money, he was not stingy.

So the cavalryman was paid to stay in someone else's house, and he had a good time along the way, as if he was on a field trip.

In this way, a full half month was wasted, and the cavalry did not arrive in Kunming until the end of January.

Muchun looked helpless at that time, brother, you can't delay for another month and a half. Do you know how long it took for His Highness's army to march all the way from Kunming to Qiubei County?It's too fake.

Then, Muchuncai sent a post horse to deliver Zhezi to Yingtian.

But by the time this memorial was delivered to Zhu Yuanzhang, it was already two months ago, that is, February of the 26th year of Hongwu.

Zhu Yuanzhang was having a court meeting at that time, and he looked gloomy for some reason. Although he didn't get angry, the more he looked like this, the more scary he was.

All the civil and military officials lowered their heads and trembled. Even Lan Yu, who had returned to the court as a teacher and had just been canonized as the Crown Prince and Tutor, also lowered his head and did not dare to look up into the eyes of Emperor Hongwu.

It can be said that no one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty dared to offend the majesty of Emperor Hongwu. Even Xu Da stood there with his eyes lowered and said nothing.

At this moment, a report came: "Good news from Yunnan."

Good news from Yunnan?Why is it another good news from Yunnan?By the way, is there another war in Yunnan?What happened to Yunnan?
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, his heart moved, and he already remembered what happened.

Years ago, he had planned to ask Zhu Cheng to come to Beijing to report on his work. He had planned to test Zhu Cheng personally, and even beat him to see if he really had the intention to rebel. It would be great if he could be used by the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen.

However, someone happened to catch up with Yunnan and rebelled again, allowing the little slippery man to escape the disaster.

I heard that 12 soldiers from the [-]th village of Navimo Prefecture rebelled, but he only led [-] Ming troops but dared to fight. He was indeed brave and worthy of being our son.

However, it is a pity that he is eighteen.

If the second bastard is so wise and powerful, why do we need to find a grandson to be the emperor's grandson?
He can't control the second child, he's useless.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said to the little eunuch who reported the news: "Read it."

The young eunuch quickly knelt down at the entrance of the court, opened the memorial in his hand, and read loudly: "My son Zhu Ming, I would like to report to my father, in the 25th year of Hongwu, the eleven villages in Weimo Prefecture rebelled, with a total of 12 enemy troops. , the Ming army led by Erchen led 11 people and killed more than [-] people. Then Guangnan chieftain Nong Zhenyou raised an army of [-] people to rebel, and Erchen led his army to annihilate all his subordinates."

"what?"

All the civil and military officials in the court suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and murmured subconsciously: "As expected of my tiger son. Wait, did he write this? Why didn't you talk about the suffering of children and ministers?"

All civil and military officials in the court raised their heads and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with strange expressions.

Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that he had made a mistake. Naturally, these conversations between father and son could not be discussed in court.

So Zhu Yuanzhang winked at Xu Da and said, "Retreat from the court. The Duke of Wei will stay and follow me into the inner hall for a talk."
