Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Chapter 49 [Return to the original land] Sold to Zhu Yuanzhang!
"Now you can issue an imperial edict and canonize Wan Zhen'er as queen. As for the previous queen, she will be a noble concubine. She has nothing wrong and she will be treated the same as the queen."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was unfair to the original queen.

"Yes, Taizu, I remember it." Zhu Jianshen was also very excited.

Zhu Jianshen's biggest regret has always been that Wan Zhen'er did not become the queen. Now this regret can be made up for.

The eunuch trotted in and said, "Taizu, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Zhou wants to see you."

This is Zhu Jianshen's biological mother.

Zhu Jianshen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked for Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion.

"Let her go back! We have nothing to say to her." Zhu Yuanzhang felt that there was no need to see her.

Soon the imperial edict to canonize Wan Zhen'er was issued. The cabinet knew that this was Zhu Yuanzhang's intention, and no one dared to stop it.

I dare not say anything against it.

When Zhu Jianshen wanted to canonize Wan Zhen'er before, all the civil and military officials basically opposed it.

Now no one dares to say anything.

When Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, it was the ancestral precepts.

Before leaving, Xiao Ran asked Zhu Jianshen to confirm the order.

Zhu Yuanzhang successfully completed an order.

Hongwu Dynasty

Kunning Palace

Zhu Yuanzhang became the president, and Xiao Ran could go to Zhu Yuanzhang even if he didn't have an order.

"Sister, we are back!" Zhu Yuanzhang called Queen Ma when he entered Kunning Palace.

Queen Ma on the other side smiled and said, "Is it so fast?"

"These are all small things when we go." Zhu Yuanzhang sat down next to Queen Ma.

Zhu Yuanzhang's words are true, so it only works for Zhu Yuanzhang, and it should be okay for Zhu Di to go.

It's really difficult for Xiao Ran to go. Xiao Ran's words are useless.

Xiao Ran couldn't do anything about this kind of thing, and his identity as a time traveler was not easy to use.

Civil and military officials don't buy it. It would be too difficult to convince them.

Zhu Yuanzhang was relatively simple and violent in the past. He waved his hand and said exactly what he said.

"It seems to be going well. The Ming Dynasty should be doing well at this time, otherwise you wouldn't be so happy." Queen Ma poured a glass of water for Xiao Ran and Zhu Yuanzhang.

"This Zhu Jianshen, Xiao Ran said, was the emperor second only to the fourth son, and ranked third in the Ming Dynasty. He was good in both civil and martial arts. The Ming Dynasty had gone through two twists and turns by that bastard Zhu Qizhen, and it had lost its former glory. But Zhu Jianshen made the Ming Dynasty The management is in order, and we are very satisfied.”

"That's indeed good!" Queen Ma nodded.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince would like to see you." Yu'er came over and said.

"The boss is here, let him in!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Biao saw Xiao Ran smile and said, "Father, Queen, Sir."

"Boss, is there something wrong?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw the memorial in Zhu Biao's hand.

"Father, the war in the southwest is coming to an end. Fu Youde and the others have taken the southwest." Zhu Biao handed the memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, "Yes, our territory of Ming Dynasty has been expanded again!"

"After defeating it, the tricky thing is the subsequent governance. The southwest area is different from other places. The previous dynasties basically followed the policy of restraining the emperor. Is this the same in the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Biao asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is a major matter. Zhu Biao cannot make the decision alone and needs to discuss it with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing and fell into deep thought.

"Uncle, I have a hundred taels of gold, let me give you a trick." Xiao Ran interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up. Hearing Xiao Ran say a hundred taels of gold, he couldn't help but give Xiao Ran a roll of his eyes.

"You have already called us uncle, but you still have the nerve to ask for money?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"Brothers are still settling accounts!" Xiao Ran said with a smile, "Do you want it?"

"Er Hu, go get a hundred taels of gold!" Zhu Yuanzhang could only choose to give it.

Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted a way to govern the southwest.

In this way, Ming Dynasty can save a lot of manpower and material resources and avoid many detours.

"Problems like the southwest were not solved well until the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Chieftains in the southwest rebelled from time to time, and the court had to send troops to quell the rebellion from time to time."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "The same was true for the previous courts. The issue of chieftains in these places has always been difficult."

"After that, it was not until the Aixinjueluo family entered the customs and established the Qing Dynasty that they proposed the method of reforming the land and returning it to the local people to solve the problem in the southwest."

"Return to the old ways!" The eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao became different.

"Here comes pen, ink, paper and inkstone!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted, "write it down for us!"

This is very important to Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Dynasty.

Yu'er brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Queen Ma said, "I'll record it for you."

"That would be great." Zhu Yuanzhang still believed in Queen Ma's ability.

Erhu also sent gold according to Zhu Yuanzhang's request, and Xiao Ran had to fulfill his promise.

The chieftain system was a means to win over the native leaders in the southwestern border areas that the central government was unable to take care of. It "ruled the native people with native officials", recognized the hereditary status of the leaders of various ethnic minorities, and gave them official titles for indirect rule. The central government of the imperial court The edict was not actually implemented.

Under the rule of the chieftain, the land and the people are hereditary owned by the chieftain. Each chieftain forms a sphere of influence. Judicial, financial, administrative, and military affairs can all be autonomous. They can ask for and take from the local people and have all the power of life and death, except those who cannot After ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, everything else is even comparable to that of an emperor, and only a small symbolic tax is required to be paid to the court.

The Ming Dynasty was the peak of the chieftain system. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, unrest occurred frequently in the southwest frontier, which was also related to the weaknesses of the chieftain system itself.

"The chieftain system has played a certain positive role in situations where productivity levels are low, transportation is inconvenient, and national cultural differences are huge. However, chieftains have been officials for generations and dominate one area. Some chieftains are tyrannical and lawless and impose political policies on the people within their territory. Oppression and economic plunder, as well as fighting or wars between chieftains for power, led to loss of life and rebellion against the imperial court."

Zhu Biao nodded, "Yes, this was the situation before. After the army marched south, I checked a lot of information from the previous dynasties, but I couldn't find a solution."

Zhu Biao began to consider governance issues in Southwest China very early.

"During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Ertai vigorously promoted the policy of reforming native lands and returning them to exile, which means that the central government selects exiled officials with a certain term to directly manage the government affairs of minority areas. 'The method of reforming exiles is to plan and capture, and to suppress them with military force is the best policy. The best policy is to make people surrender, and the worst policy is to order them to sacrifice. "The method of making seedlings must be based on the combination of grace and power."

Xiao Ran began to speak, and Queen Ma began to write quickly to record what Xiao Ran said.

"The method of applying both kindness and power allows the chieftain to take the initiative to accept the implementation of reform and return as the best policy, and to use force to solve the problem is the worst policy." Zhu Yuanzhang murmured to himself.

"Now that our Ming army is still in the southwest, we can come back later and temporarily station in the southwest to frighten the southwest chieftains and directly promote the reform of the land. This can save a lot of things." Zhu Biao suggested.

"We think it's okay." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with Zhu Biao's statement.

"The chieftain must be unconvinced. He needs to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and scare other people. This is inevitable." Xiao Ran continued: "The area also needs to be re-planned." Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Erhu, "Go get the map, southwest map."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Erhu quickly went to prepare.

When the map came, Zhu Yuanzhang spread it on the table and said, "Xiao Ran, continue talking."

Xiao Ran looked at the map and pointed and said: "The Qing government placed the three prefectures of Wumeng, Zhenxiong, and Dongchuan that were originally under Sichuan under Yunnan. Ortai sent guerrilla Ha Yuansheng to lead troops and destroyed the rebellious prefect of Wumeng. The forces of Lu Wanzhong and Longqinghou, the prefect of Zhenxiong, were reorganized into Wumeng Prefecture and Zhenxiong Prefecture."

Xiao Ran doesn't understand these things very well.

It’s enough for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao to understand.

"Wonderful!" Zhu Biao applauded, "This disrupts the previous pattern and the resistance is much smaller."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the map and said with approval: "Yes, the person in charge knows the southwest region. It is impossible for someone who does not understand to change it like this."

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "In this way, we will avoid many detours."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were also in a good mood when they thought that the problem in Southwest China had been solved.

"When the hereditary system of chieftains is abolished, different treatments will be given to the chieftains themselves according to their attitudes. Those who voluntarily submit the seal will be rewarded as appropriate, either in the secular position or in the current military position. Those who resist will be punished and their property will be confiscated. , and migrate them to provinces other than the above-mentioned six provinces, and arrange life in their farm houses."

"While establishing prefectures and counties, military institutions were also added, such as Wumeng Town, Zhaotong Xiongwei Town, and Pu'er Yuanwei Town in Yunnan, Guzhou Town and Taigong Town in Guizhou, Youjiang Town in Guangxi, and Yongshun Town in Huguang Xie, Yongsui Xie, etc."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Queen Ma and said, "Xiao Ran, please slow down, our girl can't remember it."

Xiao Ran paused for a moment, "The Qing government conducted household registration checks, measured land, levied taxes, built cities, and set up schools in the areas where the land was reformed. It turned out that the chieftains only paid a small amount of tribute, but used up the large amount of money they gained from ruthlessly plundering the people. Collect it for yourself. After the land was returned to the local people, the taxation method was changed, and the original collection system of chieftains was abolished. Like the mainland, taxes were collected based on acres of land, and the exploitation suffered by the native people was slightly alleviated."

"Reforming native land and returning local people to local people involves a lot of content and lasts for a long time. After all, the area involved is actually very large, not just Yunnan and Guizhou, but also Guangxi, Sichuan, and Hunan."

Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Ran and asked, "Sir, how long did it take for the Qing Dynasty?"

"It took almost five years to basically complete it." Xiao Ran said.

In the final analysis, reforming Tuguiliu means abolishing the power of chieftains, and the court sends people to manage it.

All that needs to be done is to check household registration, measure land, verify taxes, etc.

The resistance was high because it violated the interests of the chieftains, and because traditional ideas were deeply ingrained and the local ethnic minorities were xenophobic.

Therefore, the army needs to suppress it and kill chickens to scare monkeys when necessary.

The population productivity of the southwest is relatively low, and it is certainly impossible to resist the imperial court.

The reform of native land and return to local rule strengthened the Qing government's management of various ethnic groups in the southwest, broke the ethnic restrictions of the original chieftain system that "barbarians could not leave the cave, and Han people were not allowed to enter", and promoted ethnic integration as well as local economic development and social progress. An important policy to unify the governance, territorial expansion and consolidation of a multi-ethnic feudal country.

Xiao Ran collected the gold and stored it in jade.

Empress Ma put down her pen and stretched her wrist, "I've finished writing. Take a look at it, Chongba."

"Sister, thank you for your hard work!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and took over the record of returning home from his homeland recorded by Queen Ma.

After reading it carefully, there was nothing wrong with it, and handed it to Zhu Biao next to him.

"Ask Fu Youde and Muying to assist in the reform. You will come up with a plan and implement it as soon as possible."

Zhu Biao took the rice paper and said, "Yes, Father, I will go and do it now."

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, "Another thorny problem has been solved."

Although he cursed and said that Xiao Ran was greedy for money, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was worth it.

This method is not necessarily very clever, but after experiments, it is feasible and effective.

That's the point.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were willing to do it, even if it was difficult, they were willing to pay some price to implement it.

Zhu Biao stood up and was about to go find someone to discuss it, when he suddenly looked at Xiao Ran.

"Your Highness, do you have any questions?" Xiao Ran asked.

"Sir, if there is a situation in the southwest, where the Japanese pirates are returning to their homeland, what can you do to deal with the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast?"

"We almost forgot about this." Zhu Yuanzhang patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder, "The price is easy to negotiate, and the problem of Japanese pirates is also very difficult."

Xiao Ran stood up and said: "Of course there is. A great general appeared behind the Ming Dynasty. The army he trained defeated the Japanese pirates one against ten, and they were victorious in every battle. The Japanese pirates fled with their heads in their arms."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also overjoyed, "It seems that the training method is quite unique, specially designed to deal with Japanese pirates."

"Yes, this general knows the Japanese pirates very well. His army is designed to deal with the Japanese pirates. But now that the Ming army has gone out, let's talk about it later!"

Fu Youde, Lan Yu and Muying fought in the southwest, and Xu Datang and Tanghe fought in the north.

Basically all the Ming army went out.

"It is better to deal with the reform of the southwest first, and let's discuss the issue of Japanese pirates later!" Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that there was no rush and he needed to take his time.

"Auntie, I have to go back." Xiao Ran said to Queen Ma before leaving Hongwu.

Jimo ancient city
Zhu Di drank tea leisurely and listened to the Peking Opera on CCTV11, feeling at ease.

Enjoyed it a lot.

"Old man!"

"Is the order completed?" Zhu Di looked at Xiao Ran.

"Zhu Jianshen's decision to establish a queen is just a matter of words for my uncle. It will be done very quickly."

"That's true!"

"If you feel bored, you can go downstairs and dance with the old lady in the square." Xiao Ran pointed to the community square.

Zhu Di waved his hand, "Forget it! The old man has been in the army all his life, and now he doesn't want to move. He just wants to sit. This is really nice to say."

"I can't appreciate it enough. Just take your time and watch it!"

Xiao Ran felt the generation gap between the two.

"Will the next order be from Datang?" Zhu Di asked.

"Yes! I promised Master Erfeng before." Xiao Ran stood up, "I have to go see the little princess."

"There are only two of us at home. Let's get a wife as soon as possible to make it more lively." Zhu Di smiled and said, "Princess Changle is good."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Xiao Ran didn't want to hear it and ran away, preparing to go to the supermarket to buy something.

The little princess is a foodie, so bring some snacks to the little girl.

Mostly sweets, sugar cakes and the like.

A lot of preparations.
