Text_Chapter 433 Xu Family Jinshi
Wei Zhongxian doesn't have Zhu Youxiao's physique, he is a eunuch, his body and bones are weaker than normal people, and it would be good to be able to accompany the emperor to fight the battle of Guihua City. [No pop-ups. 】
After the end of the war, he returned to the Beijing Division, and recuperated in a good life, this winter march really made him tired enough, and the wind and cold were very seriously infected, and he lay in bed for four or five days before relieving himself.
And this march, although he set off after getting the news, but the weather was still a little cold, he had just recovered, so naturally he could not hurry, so although his distance was close, it was still almost a week later than the army.
"Did the inducement plan work?" When Wei Zhongxian appeared in front of the emperor, he was greeted with such a head-to-face question.
"It's action!" Wei Zhongxian replied with a surprised expression, not understanding why the emperor asked, "The old slave remembers that he reported to His Majesty at the beginning. ”
"But look at this!" Zhu Youxiao put a report in front of Wei Zhongxian, he waited here for so many days, he didn't do nothing, when the large army was resting, in addition to repairing bridges and paving roads, building logistics supply points, it was to choose a front to explore the horse and fall out frequently, or pretend to be a caravan, or scratch the tongue to investigate, and get a rough idea of the Jurchen now.
Today's progress, is no longer learning to plant, but has begun, in a large plain, Tanma saw the planned somewhat uneven rice fields, although these numbers are a drop in the bucket compared to the Jurchen population, but this is a terrible beginning, did not leave the white mountains and black waters between the Jurchens, the remnants of the barbaric Jurchens, is a terrible fighting nation.
"This ......" Wei Zhongxian looked at the twists and turns, and fell into deep thought, he has been in charge of intelligence work on the battlefield with the emperor in the east and west, south and north, and has not paid attention to the Jurchens for a while, why this change occurred, he is not very clear.
"Your Majesty, let the old slave take a closer look." Wei Zhongxian frowned, after the initial euphoria, he claimed to have become an old slave again, as if to show that he had not forgotten his roots.
"Well, we'll have to take care of it." Zhu Youxiao nodded. Then Wei Zhongxian pushed down, mobilized the spy personnel of the East Factory, and began to investigate the news.
The reason why Zhu Youxiao didn't do it himself, but waited until Wei Zhongxian came, it was not that he couldn't interfere, the person in charge of Dongchang in Liaodong had already come to visit, but because of secrecy, the Jurchen eyeliner has always been Wei Zhongxian's responsibility, although Zhu Youxiao knew, but he didn't act rashly, the existence of this person is too important, far more important than this news.
While waiting for information, the grain road has been paved, starting from Zhenbei Pass, and has been paved forward, setting up cards and points, and sending people to garrison.
The entire eastern Liaodong region is vast, and now the local residents are migrating and migrating, and the population is only a million people, which is not enough for the current Liaodong Province.
You must know that the eastern Liaoning province planned by Zhu Youxiao is as big as Liaoning in the future, and in addition to Liaoning, there are two chassis in the entire northeast, Jilin and Heilongjiang. The entire Northeast accommodated a population of up to 100 million in later generations, although it was not as large as those populous provinces, but for the Ming Dynasty, it was more than enough.
According to later statistics, the population of the entire Ming Dynasty is only between 150 million and 200 million, and with more arable land in the Northeast, more people can be fed. In this era when the world is full of blank land, Zhu Youxiao does not emigrate overseas and occupies the territory, which is simply sorry for himself.
Although it is now five acres of cultivated land for one person, after the reform of Zhang Juzheng, the entire Ming Wanli has more than 10 million tons of registered land, and if one person has five acres, it can just accommodate 200 million people, but five acres of land can only ensure food and clothing, and can not have much income, not to mention the land for the production of raw materials.
The more cultivated land, Zhu Youxiao can allocate ten acres per person, and in the northeast he implemented this way, every household is divided according to the head, ten acres for one person, and fifty acres for a family of five.
Nowadays, it is different, the land in the frontier is twice as much as that in the inland, and many peasants voluntarily give up the inland land and settle down in the northeast.
Today's Liaodong has probably consolidated its original homeland, and the next step is to open up and resettle immigrants. Liaodong is a province that built roads very early, and now in addition to some construction teams still refining the roads in the province, others have begun to expand outward and go deeper into the dense forest.
The Northeast is rich in resources, the big trees in the deep mountains, mineral deposits, herbs, animals, etc. are all purchased at a high price in the Guannai, and now most of the caravans who come and go here are inland, they buy everything at a high price, and even let many farmers hire people to plough the land, and they go to the deep mountains to hunt, collect medicine and prospect.
As far as the entire Ming Dynasty is concerned, the economy here is the most active, and it is also the most formal, after all, it is better to paint on a blank piece of paper than to modify, and the difficulty of the two is not the same.
After waiting in Shenyang for a few days, Zhu Youxiao finally waited for Wei Zhongxian, who returned with a cold body.
"Your Majesty, the old slave is fortunate not to be dishonored!" As soon as Wei Zhongxian came in, his face was full of joy, and even the cold on his body seemed to be blown away by these joyful colors.
Seeing that Wei Zhongxian seemed to open his mouth to speak, Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry, "Come, drink a cup of ginger tea first, go to the cold, this wind and snow are really hard." After speaking, he personally poured a cup of tea and brought it to Wei Zhongxian.
This treatment simply flattered Wei Zhongxian, he stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes, surprised and even frightened, and didn't know how to react.
"Come, drink." Zhu Youxiao went over and said softly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty treats the old slave too much!" Tremblingly took the teacup, Wei Zhongxian's tears fell down, "Old slave, old slave ......"
He almost couldn't cry, but soon, he realized that he had lost his manners, so he immediately took a teacup and began to take a small sip of ginger tea to hide his embarrassment.
Wei Zhongxian swore that this was the best ginger tea he had ever drunk in his life, a cup of tea poured by the emperor himself, and a cup of ginger tea mixed with tears.
However, despite his fast movements, Zhu Youxiao still saw it clearly, "Look at you, you are a lot old, what tears are you shed." Also, didn't I tell you that they are all courtiers, and they still call themselves old slaves. ”
Taking a sip, Wei Zhongxian drank the ginger tea in one gulp, and then wiped the mist and tears on his face, "Let Your Majesty smile, the old slave is Your Majesty's house slave, it was before, and it will be in the future, the old slave thought, so that he can claim to be closer to His Majesty, closer than the courtiers, so ......"
After speaking, Wei Zhongxian's round face flashed with a trace of inexplicable pride. Zhu Youxiao stopped and smiled dumbly.
"Your Majesty, the old slave went to inquire this time, and there are some new discoveries." Wei Zhongxian waited for the emperor to laugh enough, and then said what he had gained from this trip.
"Oh, let's hear it." Zhu Youxiao asked curiously, he was really interested in the transformation of Huang Taiji, what happened in it, which could make a barbarian people start plowing the fields and grazing.
"That's right." Wei Zhongxian cleared his throat and began to say, "At first, Fan Wencheng found out that Dongchang had buried the Jurchen eyeliner, but he didn't denounce it, but wanted to surrender to us, and wanted to do it anyway, and then the old slave asked him to stay quiet, waiting for the opportunity, and then he passed the news and implemented His Majesty's plan to induce the westward migration. ”
A Han Chinese? Zhu Youxiao was surprised.
"Yes, a Han man, this Han man claims to be surnamed Xu, but he is a member of the Xu family in Huating, and he is a Jinshi." Wei Zhongxian replied.
"Jinshi!" Zhu Youxiao's eyes widened in vain, you must know that in history, Fan Wencheng was just a man, as soon as he entered the Manchu Dynasty, as the saying goes, the golden scales are not things in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds.
The historical Liaodong fell to this person, and he came up with a lot of ideas and wisdom, this is just a person, if a Jinshi passes, how much effect it can have, Zhu Youxiao can't think of it at all.
Don't look at the Ming Dynasty's imperial examination Baguwen, which was criticized by later generations, but those who can stand out from this rigid system, which one is not a genius, and which one is not regarded by the common people as a star in the sky, the level of these people, put it now, it is easy to mix a professor or doctoral supervisor at Peking University and Tsinghua University.
Originally. Li Zicheng's Dashun Dynasty, when the prime minister Niu Jinxing was just a person, his vote was regarded as a good omen by Li Zicheng, thinking that he had won the hearts of the world's scholars.
Now, there is a person who has thrown himself to the Jurchen side, which is simply .........
Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt that God was playing with himself, and he had just managed a Fan Wencheng, and asked him to act as his own eyeliner and act cheaply, but he didn't expect to get a jinshi out in a blink of an eye, and he simply didn't give Huang Taiji a few traitors.
"Haven't all the principals of the Xu family been killed, how can there still be a Jinshi left? And how can it happen to be in the Northeast? Zhu Youxiao asked puzzled.
At the beginning of the Nanzhili rebellion, Xu Jian was one of the leaders, and he was severely punished, with the most heavy casualties, he couldn't figure it out, and there was a Jinshi left.
"Your Majesty, at the beginning, this Jinshi was not in Nanzhili, but was an official in other places, so he was not directly involved, and he was even taken down because he was implicated. At the beginning, hundreds of thousands of people who participated in the rebellion in Nanzhili were sent to Tuntian, Liaodong, and this Jinshi was no exception, and later His Majesty wanted to establish schools in all provinces, and the county where the prison where this Jinshi was held was located, and he happened to know that there was such a person, so he invited him out to teach. ”
"Then how did he run to the Jurchen, and he also faced Huang Taiji!" Zhu Youxiao asked angrily.
"This old slave doesn't know." Wei Zhongxian replied.
"Thorough investigation, must be thoroughly investigated, let Xiong Tingbi investigate me thoroughly, and all those involved in this matter, no matter who it is, will be taken down by me!" Zhu Youxiao roared so angrily that even Wei Zhongxian couldn't bear it, and hurriedly took the opportunity to run out.
: I'm going to work, and I'm on duty at night, so I'll update it in advance.
