Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

159. King Ningjing died

A large number of people who were taken hostage flooded into Taiwan, which also caused great pressure on Ming Zheng for a while. Throughout October and November, the camps, police, treasury, Yantie and other departments were all focused on how to resettle them. To operate, until the day before the stove sacrifice, most of the work of diversion, naturalization, granting land, relief, etc. will be completed. As for the peace of mind of these newcomers, it is estimated that it will have to wait until the spring plowing begins.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to resettle these people under the four counties of Changhua, Zhuluo, Fengshan, Pingtung and Tamsui, Zheng Kezang successfully broke up the original clan relationship among the immigrants.In addition, Zheng Kezang had been taking advantage of the opportunity to expand Baojia to continuously immigrate veterans from Tianxing, Wannian and other places, which weakened the originally intricate clan relationship in the core area of ​​Zheng's rule in the Ming Dynasty. As a result, the "royal power" in Taiwan was able to suppress the "clan power", which greatly facilitated the Ming Zheng regime to effectively implement various orders from top to bottom.

In addition, immigrants from new counties pioneered wasteland and old counties merged cultivated land. In terms of agriculture, Taiwan has gradually emerged a division of grain planting in the north centered on single families and large plantations in the south where foreign trade cash crops are planted. Intensive farming The small-scale peasant economy and the intensive plantation economy have gradually become two important wheels to promote Dongning's economic recovery.

"Wang Jiu, Wang Jiu, why don't you say anything at home, kid?" A voice rang out as the creaking courtyard door was pushed open. Wang Jiu, who was cooking a fire, came out disheveled after hearing the news, but found that the person who came was a local. A long. "Tsk tsk, you're a big man, it's really ugly to cook by yourself." Chief Jia scolded, then changed the topic. "Wang Jiu, your boy is having a good time." Wang Jiu looked at him in a daze, he didn't know what was going on for a while, so he heard what Chief Jia said. "A few families from Wenzhou have just moved here in Jiali. I took a look, and there happened to be a family with two daughters who can marry. No, there are you in Jiali, and Xu San is also homeless. It just so happens that the fat and water don’t flow into outsiders’ fields.”

"What?" Wang Jiu was taken aback. Of course he knew how difficult it is to find a woman in Taiwan. He originally thought that those who were less than 40 years old would not be able to marry a wife, but he never thought that he would have the opportunity now.

"Why, are you so happy to be silly?" Chief Jia chuckled lightly. "That's because you are an honest person. Although you were released as a prisoner, you didn't participate in the rebellion. Otherwise, there are so many bachelors in Taiwan. Would it still be your turn to do this good thing? Okay, okay, wipe it off Face, change into new clothes, borrow a cart, and transport a few tuns of grain from your house to the market to exchange for cloth as a dowry gift. By the way, prepare wine and meat. This will be done after the new year. "

"Mr. Jia, is it settled like this?" Wang Jiu scratched his hair with his hand covered with charcoal dust, and as a result, his head was covered with dust. "Can people take a fancy to me? What if they don't agree?"

"When he arrives at Dongning's territory, does he dare to disobey the Lord's orders?" The smile on Jiachang's face suddenly turned sharp. "If you don't marry at the age of 15, your parents will punish you. If you don't want to be imprisoned or demoted to slave labor, he'd better be obedient." The most important thing in ancient Chinese farming warfare is to marry early, and Zheng Kezang, who is short of population, naturally doesn't exception. "What are you doing in a daze? You can't trust me, can you still not trust the government's text? Can't you trust the text, can you still not trust the words of the Lord?"

Speaking of it, Zheng Kezang actually had a headache. Zheng Keshuang left Anping City as an adult, but Li Shunniang and Zheng Keju were still there.Although Zheng Keju, who is more than four years old, cannot shake Zheng Kezang's status, the young and widowed Li Shunniang may become the subject of attacks by others.As the saying goes, there are many disputes in front of widows, not to mention that the two are actually about the same age, and the relationship between the aunt and the eldest son, once a scandal breaks out, it will be shocking.

"Aunt Li," in order to eliminate the possibility of such rumors, Zheng Kezang specially invited this lady over years ago. "I have something to discuss with you." Zheng Kezang looked at the slightly fat woman. "Qin She has already moved out of Anping City. I mean, do you and Tong She also move out of the city?"

Li Shunniang is not a person without brains, so she naturally understands what Zheng Kezang is jealous of, but she wants to play it a little bit in order to seek more benefits for Zheng Keju: "My lord, Tongshe is still young, and I have no relatives in Taiwan. If we really move out of Anping, what if we don’t take good care of it?”

"Don't worry, Aunt Li." Zheng Kezang had thought that Li Shunniang would make a request, so he immediately interrupted her. "The female officer's office will arrange someone to take care of my aunt and Tongshe. As for Tian Lu? Tongshe is still small, and it's not appropriate to seal it too high. I will ask the manager to provide the monthly salary according to the earl's salary, and my aunt can continue to enjoy the original treatment." .”

Speaking of this, Li Shunniang had no choice but to bow her head: "Since the Lord has made arrangements, I have nothing to say."

"That's good," Zheng Kezang nodded, giving orders that could not be refused. "Then leave the city after the Lantern Festival"

After Li Shunniang stepped back, Chen Xianqiao came out from behind the screen: "It's really deserted in Anping City now."

"That's right, I'm a loner." Zheng Kezang collapsed on the chair with no image. "Fortunately, there are still you and the children." While speaking, Chen Xianqiao came to Zheng Kezang's side, and Zheng Kezang grabbed her hand and put it next to his face. "Otherwise, Wang Tu's hegemony is nothing more than nothing."

"My lord," before Chen Xianqiao could answer, Jin Shijiu's voice came from outside the window. "Just now, the Jian Guo Mansion urgently reported that Prince Ning Jing is ill."

Zhu Shugui is already 67. At this time, he suddenly fell ill and was able to report to Zheng Kezang. It was obviously a menacing attack. Zheng Kezang had to consider the accident: "Immediately arrange for the imperial physician to see the doctor, and then send Xu Mingting to see him."

After all, Zheng Kezang straightened up, and said to Chen Xianqiao apologetically, "Xianqiao, I can't accompany you anymore."

"Prince Ningjing is a descendant of King Liao, the eighth grandson of Emperor Taizu, and Zhu Zunjiang, the king of Badong who has the closest relationship with him in Dongning." Although Xu Mingting has been transferred to the Yizhi Department for less than a year, he has no idea about the situation of the clan. It's overripe. "If it is not divided according to blood relatives, the current Ming clan in Taiwan should be respected by Lu Wang Zhu Hongheng, Yi Wang Zhu Yihao, Zhou Shizi Zhu Lunkui, Zheng Wang Zhu Youge, and Huai Wang Zhu Yougui. Among them, Lu Wang Zhu Hongheng is the son of Lu Jianguo , the blood relationship between Zheng Wang Zhu Youge and Huai Wang Zhu Yougui is relatively close to Yimiao (Note: The posthumous title given to Chongzhen in the Southern Ming Dynasty is Emperor Yi Zonglie, and Si Zong is the posthumous title given by the official "History of Ming Dynasty" given by the Qing people)."

"Zhou Shizi?" Zheng Kezang raised his eyebrows and asked in puzzlement. "Why didn't Zhu Lunkui inherit the title of King Zhou?"

"Zhu Lunkui was the younger brother of Zhu Lunkui, the former king of Zhou. Zhu Lunkui inherited the title of his grandfather Zhu Gongyun in the first year of Hongguang. In December of the second year of Longwu, he died at the hands of the Qing army who entered Fujian. At that time, Zhu Lunkui's eldest son Zhu Fuxiao was also there. He was nowhere to be found in the rebellious army, so he inherited the lineage of the king of Zhou, but at that time, the army was in chaos, and no one could figure out whether he was allowed by Shaomiao (Note: Emperor Longwu) to be a prince, and Emperor Zhaozong Kuang (Note: The posthumous title given by Zheng Chenggong to Emperor Yongli) was far away, so he didn't do anything to attack him, so he has always been called by the name of the son."

"Biao he inherits the King of Zhou." Zheng Kezang ordered lightly. The so-called "Biao" is just a form. It has been decided to let this person take over the post of supervisor of the country, and Zheng Kezang will continue to ask at this time. "Is there any result from what I said last time?"

What did you say last time?Zheng Kezang spoke nonsensically, but Xu Mingting reacted quickly, and immediately replied in a daze: "Is the lord asking about the canonization of Zhu Da as King Ning? I'm afraid it's a bit tricky."

"Troublesome?" Zheng Kezang glanced at Xu Mingting. "Lonely, I want to hear how difficult this matter is."

"First of all, Jian Guo and several Ming clans believe that the genealogy of the jade dish has been lost, and it is really impossible to know whether Zhu Da is the descendant of King Ning." Xu Mingting replied with a wry smile. "Besides, the world is in chaos today, and the clans feel that there must be many fake surnames. If everyone says that they are descendants of the Taizu and will be canonized, wouldn't it be a mess?" Zheng Kezang knew it was right away The final bottom line of the Ming clan, apart from maintaining the purity of the so-called blood, they have no other way to dress up their image, and he just responded with a sneer. "Secondly, it is still unclear whether this person is still alive or dead. It must be changed to pursue promotion within two days after being canonized." Xu Mingting continued. "Finally, and most importantly, King Ning was expelled because of his rebellion. Even the Zongli Mansion was abolished after the Jiajing Dynasty. After so many years, it seems that it is too difficult to restore if it is said to be restored."

"It's difficult for a strong man, it's nothing more than saying that Cao Cao is alone." Zheng Kezang cursed softly, and then pondered for a moment. "Xu Qing, Zhu Da is the Austrian aid of our feudal clan in the mainland. Although I can't confirm whether he is still alive, but once the news is confirmed, the Ming Dynasty will need Qing's help in persuading him." Zheng Kezang at this stage He still doesn't want to use force against Ming Shi, so he can only use lures. "By the way, ask them, if King Ning Jing doesn't hesitate, who will the Ming Dynasty propose to be the supervisor."

Xu Mingting was absent-minded for a moment: "My lord, I'm afraid there are scruples in the Ming room."

Indeed, what's the fun of being a puppet supervisor of the country, plus the fact that the salary and royal land are not extra, it's really not as good as the wife's ordinary clan, so as not to become the target of powerful officials when they want to codify the country in the future.

"My lord." Before Zheng Kezang could say anything more, a guard hurried in and reported. "Prince Ning Jing is dead!"

"So fast!" Zheng Kezang was stunned for a moment, he was not ready yet, and something happened there, but now it was too late to be frustrated, so he had to order. "Show me, I'm going to offer my condolences." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang ordered again. "Let all the officials go, and if there is an order, the whole Dongning will be mourned"
