Daming: Pretending to be a blind prince, was exposed by Sister Zhou’s live broadcast

Chapter 0107: Dare to be unruly, beware of King Han inviting you to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots!!!

For Zhu Li, doing business is no taboo, as long as it is profitable, it doesn’t matter who he is targeting!

And Tatar is not impossible to do business, the point is to see how to do it.

“What does Your Highness mean?”

Qin Han’s heart moved, knowing that Zhu Li must have something good again.

He was also glad that he didn’t make himself clever, and he replied to the absolute square, it seems that if he encounters such a thing in the future, he still has to let Zhu Li personally take the idea!

“Armor and cold weapons are okay, and other things don’t need to be talked about.”

“Tell them that if you want to do business, you have to go through the water and come slowly.”

“Just because firearms can’t be provided doesn’t mean he can’t in the future!”

Zhu Li said with a smile.

When Qin Han heard this, he immediately understood what Zhu Li was thinking, it was nothing more than to hang the other party’s appetite with some insignificant things first, although he did not promise to give them firearms directly, but at least let them see a glimmer of possible hope!

“How should the price be set?” According to the price previously given to other small countries in the Western Regions? ”

Qin Han asked again with some hesitation.

“The price is higher, the higher the better! Raise the threshold and let the tartar know that our things are not Chinese cabbage, and they can be bought casually! ”

“Don’t they like to set gold and silver gems on their armor and swords? Practical or not practical or secondary, the point is to look good, which can make this gang of tartar nobles have a sense of superiority! ”

Zhu Li ordered directly.

The tartar aristocracy likes to set gold and silver on the armor, and these people are not poor in money, and they also customize this flashy ‘high-end’ armor, to put it bluntly, in order to highlight their own difference, people pretend to use it!

Moreover, this grade of armor or weapons can only be bought by the Tatar nobles, and it is unrealistic to want to equip their tribal army in large quantities!

Zhu Li’s idea is to make more money with less amount, and at the same time minimize the risk of trading between the two sides!

After all, he has also done similar business with some Western Regions Fan Bang over the years, and the quality of the armor and weapons produced by his Hanzhong Mansion can be regarded as a well-known existence!

There had been some incidents before that Yan officials took his dealings with Fanbang to sue the old man.

If they know that they actually have such a deal with the Watt Thorn people, they may have to directly consult him in the court!

Of course, Zhu Li was not worried, he also wanted to see who was the most happy in the dynasty, and he was the most unhappy with the King of Han!

When the king comes to the world in the future, it will be settled together.

“If you say that, the last general will understand. Is it the big head of the slaughter? ”

After Qin Han listened to Zhu Li’s order, he immediately laughed.

“Well, your analogy is quite appropriate, it is the big head of the slaughter!”

Zhu Li also laughed when he heard this.

Ying Tianfu Imperial Palace.

In the imperial study room, Hube Shangshu Yuxin was sitting on the embroidery mound on one side, and Zhu Yuanzhang was looking down at the fold that Yu Xin had just handed over in front of the dragon book.

“Do you know why we came to you specifically?”

For a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang finished reading the fold in his hand and asked Yu Xin.

“Your Majesty… But for the sudden rise in the population of Hanzhong Province? ”

Yu Xin asked cautiously.

“In the eighth year of the Hong warrior, when the Han King Zhu Li was sixteen years old and was in Hanzhong, the population registered in the yellow book of Hanzhong Mansion was only 80,000 households, and the total population was only 320,000!”

“In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, that is, this year, the registered population of Hanzhong Prefecture has exceeded 150,000 households, and the total population has reached 700,000!”

“Can you explain to us why the population of Hanzhong has more than doubled in just seven or eight years?”

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Yu Xin and asked in a somewhat low tone.

Today, he saw the latest population yellow book submitted by Hubu, and focused on checking the situation of Hanzhong Province, and sure enough, he saw the rapid increase in the population of Hanzhong Province

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked Hube Shangshu Yuxin to call him directly.

In seven or eight years, the population doubles, unless every family has three or four more children without death!

This is absolutely impossible!

“Back to Your Majesty, mainly because most of the passive people such as the war and the displaced people have all fled to Hanzhong Mansion, plus the King of Han has always refused these refugees, so…”

Yu Xin hurriedly explained.

“You mean that this extra part of the population in Hanzhong is all from other places to sweat?”

Zhu Yuanzhang’s brows suddenly twisted into a knot.

In fact, due to years of natural and man-made disasters in the northern region, the population has plummeted, and it is common for those who die to escape!

In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang instituted a strict yellow book registration system, similar to the census of later generations.

But limited to technical reasons, it is impossible to count the population so efficiently as later generations, so the only way Zhu Yuanzhang can do is to restrict the flow of population!

He not only divided various hereditary household registrations, but also limited ordinary people to one acre and three points of land in his own household.

In the Ming Dynasty, in addition to officials at all levels, other ordinary people who want to leave home must go to the official office to issue a road guide, and there is no special reason and legitimate reason, this road guide you can’t drive down!

Those who do not have a way guide, once discovered by the government, will fight for eighty and then be repatriated to their hometowns.

Eighty battles, even if you can survive, the whole person will be wasted! Therefore, ordinary people simply do not dare to leave home at will.

Even the profession of Langzhong is the same, you can only practice medicine locally, it is impossible to mess around the world, and what you Fanglangzhong does not exist at all, unless there are people in your court!

There has been an example of a man who was beaten to death because his old mother was seriously ill and did not have time to go to the official office to open a way, and then went to a different place to seek medical treatment.

This also shows the harshness of the household registration system!

In the Ming Dynasty, only the two types of people, merchants and readers, could go to the official office to issue a road guide normally, and this road guide must be carried with you, otherwise it would be the end of the battle if they were caught, and they would be beaten to death if they were unlucky!

The southern region, especially the place near Gyeonggi, has basically strictly enforced such rules since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

But the North is an exception.

Years of conquest and various natural disasters have made it impossible to control the fact that ordinary people have left their homes when they cannot survive!

Therefore, whenever there is a war or natural or man-made disaster, there will be a situation where displaced people or military families migrate with them!

The migration of military families was because the imperial court needed to garrison, but the migration of displaced refugees was completely beyond the control of the imperial court.

Zhu Yuanzhang can’t kill all these displaced refugees, and more often he can only turn a blind eye!

But no matter where these people end up, just like this population surge in Hanzhong, after it finally stabilizes, it still has to be counted by the government

The yellow book system (household registration system) is Zhu Yuanzhang’s fundamental means of controlling the population situation in the whole country, even if there will be such and such a situation, he has never thought of abolishing it, at least until he thinks of other ways to replace the yellow book system, he must continue to implement it!

“Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case!”

“Hanzhong Mansion is an outlier in the northwest region, and the Han King’s willingness to relieve refugees and let them take root safely in Hanzhong is the best of both worlds!”

Yu Xin hurriedly nodded and explained.

“The best of both worlds?”

“What the best of both worlds!”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately smiled when he heard this, but the look in his eyes was a little uncertain!

With the population, according to the nature of Lao Jiu, it is definitely necessary to conscript, after all, there are also strong men among the displaced people, and they also have to eat, and only if they join the army can they get military salaries!

His Hanzhong army can expand by at least tens of thousands of people on the grounds that Hamiwei needs a garrison!

Moreover, Lao Jiu did not mean to hide such a thing, Jinyiwei’s side had already reported back, and the Han king Zhu Li had begun to expand the Hanzhong army during this time, and it would be expanded to 50,000 within this year, of which 20,000 were stationed in Xi’an Prefecture, 10,000 were stationed in Hamiwei, and 10,000 were stationed at Tianshuiguan.

In particular, Xi’an Prefecture actually installed 20,000 Han Chinese troops, which is particularly dazzling! Xi’an Prefecture originally had 80,000 imperial court troops, and there were so many Hanzhong troops, who was it guarding against?

It doesn’t look like it’s against a tartar!

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang’s yin and yang strange laughter, Yu Xin suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and he didn’t know where he said something wrong, and he annoyed this master again!

“How much else do you know about the situation in Hanzhong Mansion?”

“Your household is not just counting people, money and food, right?”

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked at this time.

Yu Xinyan was stunned, mainly because he didn’t know what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.

The household ministry is mainly in charge of money and grain, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Finance in later generations, but at the same time, it also shares part of the responsibilities of the civil affairs department, and it can be said that it should be in charge of all aspects of the people.

However, the main executive management unit of the civil administration of the Ming Dynasty is still the local official office, and the household department is at most responsible for understanding some statistics, and the specific management does not interfere.

For example, the various rules formulated by the imperial court, after they are implemented in various places, the household department must have a statistical method.

For example, how the local clan kings managed their fiefs, the household department also had the obligation to understand and supervise.

Although the discovery of problems and the impeachment of officials are matters for the supervision of the Imperial History and the Inspectorate, the evidence they need is in the hands of the household department.

For example, how many fields of the common people have been plundered by this corrupt official, who should have belonged to these fields, and how large the scope is, it is impossible for you to let the imperial historian salt official not pass through the exact information of the household department.

The imperial historian has the right to hear the wind, that is, knowing this matter, he can directly open impeachment without evidence, and then control the evidence through other departments.

Of course, in order to be more secure, most imperial historians will first grasp some superficial or preliminary evidence, then report impeachment, and then let the above order, and then let the departments begin to cooperate with the investigation.

Therefore, for the overall situation of Hanzhong Prefecture, Hubu must be the department with the most comprehensive grasp of Hanzhong Prefecture among the six ministries.

“The situation in Hanzhong Mansion, Hubu does have a part of it, but it is not comprehensive. If His Majesty wants to understand the people’s livelihood and the rule of officials, the minister can tell a rough idea! ”

……

Yu Xin hurriedly explained.

“Well, then you can talk to us properly! Zhu Yuanzhang made a respectful appearance. ”

Yu Xin hesitated for a moment, sorted out his head, and then began to talk about the rule of officials and people’s livelihood in Hanzhong Prefecture.

In addition to some systems stipulated by the imperial court, King Zhu Li of Han had planned to implement some policies since he became a domain, and some policies even went against the system of the imperial court.

Things like lifting curfews or enabling farmers or pariah to work and earn money.

Then there is how diligent local officials are under the supervision of the Han royal government, and how they focus on things like agriculture and industry.

In fact, these things, Zhu Yuanzhang should know basically everything.

“We just want to hear something we don’t know, is there any new news?”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened for a long time, and began to get a little impatient, and directly interrupted Yu Xin and asked.

Yu Xinyan showed embarrassment.

In fact, Hubu will summarize the general situation of the whole country to Zhu Yuanzhang on weekdays, most of the things that should be said are also said, some insignificant little things, in fact, it is useless to say, he as a Hubu Shangshu, it is impossible to remember so much, after all, the Ming Dynasty is such a large territory, how can he remember them all?

“How? Nothing other than these? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yu Xin’s tangled face, and his face immediately sank.

“There is… The minister suddenly remembered something, it was also the news reported by the Hanzhong Mansion, but it was a new rule formulated by the king of Han, and the minister felt that it was harmless, so he didn’t have time to report in time! ”

Yu Xin was frightened and hurriedly explained.

“Say!”

Zhu Yuanzhang urged impatiently.

“It’s also a problem caused by the rapid population growth in Hanzhong. The King of Han set a rule for Hanzhong Mansion, saying that in order not to affect the appearance of Hanzhong Mansion, as well as the style of etiquette, he specially stipulated that no one was allowed to spit on the street at will, and he could not untie his hands at will. In fact, this rule was already established when the King of Han was in the domain! ”

Yu Xin hurriedly explained.

“What is the cityscape?”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, this word was the first time he had heard it, and after hearing details such as not allowing spitting, he probably understood the meaning of this word.

It means that Hanzhong Mansion should be kept tidy, and those messy things are not allowed to be done on the street?

Is this a big fart?

“When such a thing happened before, the King of Han was at most a fine for money, and if he found it, he would deduct it once, and the people naturally did not dare to violate it for the sake of the money bag.”

“But in the next two years, as more and more refugees newly migrated to Hanzhong, such things began to increase again, and a group of displaced people who were so poor that they couldn’t even wear their pants didn’t even have a copper plate on their bodies, and who lived on the relief food of Hanzhong Prefecture, where would they be punished?”

So His Royal Highness King Han changed the rules. If anyone dares to violate the rules, it is directly fried meat with bamboo shoots! ”

“Since then, such things that affect the so-called ‘city appearance’ have gradually decreased!”

Yu Xin explained again.

“Stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots? And what is it? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.

Isn’t that a dish?

Can you still scare those displaced people into spitting?

“The so-called fried meat with bamboo shoots is a kind of punishment, and the King of Han had people specially make torture tools made of bamboo strips, but anyone who caught someone unruly was directly greeted by the person.”

“It is said that this bamboo strip hurts when pumped on the skin and flesh, and the feeling of pain is remembered by everyone after eating it once!”

“Now anyone on the street of Hanzhongfu who wants to spit on the street or have his hands at will will have to be beaten!”

“The common people of Hanzhong Mansion now have a popular saying, when you want to break the rules, people will advise you, beware of the King of Han inviting you to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots! Not to mention, it’s surprisingly good! ”

“If you don’t want to be beaten, you can pay a fine of 20 taels of silver directly!”

“I am afraid that only those rich businessmen who are not poor in money can afford this silver, after all, these rich businessmen are also big families, in order to be decent, if they don’t want to eat bamboo shoot fried meat, they can only pay money!”

“And these rich businessmen with heads and faces dare not take the lead in breaking the rules set by the King of Han!”

“So the current Hanzhong Mansion looks cleaner and tidier than Xi’an Mansion from the inside out, and the people are also well-behaved, and they never dare to do anything bad about the rules!”

Yu Xin quickly explained.

Zhu Yuanzhang was even more speechless after listening to it! Or Lao Jiu will toss ah!

Just use a bamboo strip to directly make the people in the fiefdom obediently obedient?

“Okay, you go back first!”

“In the future, remember for us, but all the news about Hanzhong Mansion, no matter the details, report it to us as soon as possible!”

Zhu Yuanzhang finally did not forget to explain to Yu Xin…
