Chapter 361: The Iron-Blooded Governor
When all kinds of people in the Ming Dynasty kept carrying out their own actions, Zhu Youxiao was indeed very leisurely in North Korea, and he trained the army when he had nothing to do, or actual combat, or long-distance training, or cultural education, and now he has a lot of time, so that he can devote a lot of time to the army.

Enhance their prestige, consolidate the morale of the army, and enhance their combat effectiveness.
Today's North Korea, except for the smell of blood that still lingers in the air, everything else is very good, and Choi Ming-gil is also quite diligent, sending his cronies and backbones to local officials to promote the work of dividing the land with iron-blooded and tough means.
A large number of opponents were killed, and a large number of landlords succumbed to the might of the Ming army and did not dare to resist. In this way, there is now a speed of reform in North Korea that has made the Ming political circles sensational.
In just three months, the entire North Korean province completed the land reform, which amazed Zhu Youxiao and countless people in the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, Cui Mingji's method is also very simple, install cronies in the place, and then kill the opponents. If such a policy continues to be implemented, there will be much less resistance from the top to land reform.
On this day, Zhu Youxiao did not live in the palace in Seoul, but lived in the barracks, and after getting up in the morning, he started his morning exercises as usual, and then inspected the barracks.
The barracks were as noisy and lively as ever, with slogans resounding in the sky and scenes of people reading and writing books, reciting hadiths of the original path, musketeers practicing reloading, hoplites practicing tactics, and cavalry training in horsemanship.
Every kind of training, Zhu Youxiao is very satisfied, that kind of high spirit, absolutely other Ming troops do not have, the training here is strict, the military discipline is cruel, but it is also very honorary, the logistics are sufficient, the salary is rich, and the soldiers go out with great dignity.
"Long live Your Majesty."
"Long live the saint!"
Everywhere he went, it was the commander's salute. Zhu Youxiao also kept nodding his head and showed the barracks in a casual manner.
When he returned to his tent, he found that the governor Cui Mingji was waiting for him.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." As soon as he saw the emperor come in, Cui Mingji immediately saluted respectfully, and it was a very grand ceremony of three kneeling and nine bowing. Since he became the governor of Korea, his bloody actions have left him with no way back, and once Zhu Youxiao showed a displeased look at him, someone would come to impeach him every few minutes, leaving him dead without a place to be buried.
Fortunately, the emperor is still very satisfied with his work, and has repeatedly praised his methods of action and quick and decisive decisions. Last time, the Imperial Daily also came to do an exclusive interview with him and reported on him positively, which made Cui Mingji's fame soar, and everyone in Daming knew about it.
Because of this, he also gained the nickname of the iron-blooded governor. Cui Mingji likes this nickname very much, because this is exactly what the emperor needs. Although the emperor did not say it, he still felt it openly and secretly that the emperor was guiding him on the current path. As for the purpose, he didn't need to know, when the time came, the emperor would naturally inform him.
"Aiqing, get up, this is not at the court meeting, you don't have to pay a big salute every time." Zhu Youxiao wiped his sweat, then sat down and asked Cui Mingji to get up. "These are just small sections, and doing good deeds is the big ones."
"Your Majesty, the ceremony must not be abolished." Hearing the emperor's meaningful words, Cui Mingji smiled and got up from the ground.
Ever since he read the newspaper, he has really served the emperor carefully, and the article that His Majesty is interested in him entering the cabinet has completely made his heart burn, and there is nothing more affirmative than letting him enter the cabinet, the pinnacle of power in the Ming Dynasty.
"Sit down." Zhu Youxiao didn't care about his expression, sat down upright on the chair, and then asked the orderly Wang Yetai to also move a stool for Cui Mingji.
"Wechen doesn't dare." Cui Mingji excused himself.
"If you don't dare, let you sit on it, you can sit it, now you are not an outsider, but a frontier officer under my hands, Zheng Erpin, there are few people in Daming who are higher than the grade." Zhu Youxiao quipped.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister is cheeky." The emperor's words made Cui Mingji's heart bloom, and he almost laughed out loud, he did so much, his hands were stained with the blood of the North Korean magnates, for what, it was not the status in the emperor's heart.
Cui Mingji tried his best to restrain the joy on his face and sat on the stool, but like the previous ministers, he only sat on half of his buttocks, and his waist was straight.
"Tell me about the recent work in North Korea." Zhu Youxiao leaned back and found a comfortable position.
Cui Mingji turned a blind eye to the image of Emperor Pi Lai, but just straightened his expression, coughed and said, "Back to Your Majesty, now that the land reform work in North Korea has been fully completed, except for a few remote mountainous areas, the land in the countryside is basically divided into households, and everyone has five acres. ”
"What about the city? There is no land division for the urban hukou, how many people are left? Zhu Youxiao asked, he implements a system of free circulation of household registration, as long as people are willing to live in the countryside, they can get land. Of course, this is not their own choice, but arranged by the government, and it is where it is.
"This ......," Cui Mingji smiled awkwardly, "There are some, but we have all arranged it." ”
"Let's be honest, the most real situation, don't add any emotional color." Zhu Youxiao looked at Cui Mingji and said lightly. Inexplicably, under this kind of gaze, Cui Mingji actually felt a heavy pressure.
He stabilized his mind and explained the situation one by one, "In the various counties and towns of Korea, there are many such poor people, and they have gathered to ask to go to the countryside, but the cultivated land in the Korean plain is narrow, and five acres of land per person cannot be arranged at all, so after the minister divided a part, he arranged them to the mountains to make a living by logging, mining, and planting. ”
"And after these people got a livelihood, although it was not the land they dreamed of, it was also a stable livelihood, so there was no too much noise, and later the slaves and maids who were obtained from the house, Weichen also arranged it in this way, women went to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, and men cut wood, mined, and collected medicines."
"The only thing that worries the minister is the Tiangong firm, which the other party has promised and will come to buy. The money for the resettlement of these displaced people was borrowed from the bank, and if the other party did not come, I am afraid that he would not be able to repay it. Cui Mingji looked at the emperor's face and said cautiously, obviously, he was in this situation of these two families.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about this, now that Daming is opening up overseas trade routes, it is the time when you need to stock up on a large number of goods, you don't need this." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to dispel the other party's worries.
"In this way, Weichen is relieved, and finally lived up to His Majesty's expectations and roughly settled down North Korea." Cui Mingji breathed a sigh of relief, and then babbled about his sadness and hard work in the past three months.
Zhu Youxiao didn't interrupt, but said patiently, just asked Cui Mingji to stop from time to time, and talked about a certain place in detail, and also asked him how to solve it, sometimes he would smile and say that Lao Cui did a good job, and sometimes he would criticize the other party, saying that it was not right here, how to do it better.
Seeing that the emperor was more interested in practical work, Cui Mingji immediately quickly changed the way of narration, pinched out the part describing his hard work, and then briefly described how he won the hearts of the people, expanded the faction, installed cronies, and carried out his will.
Call!
An hour later, Cui Mingji finally finished speaking, and it was noon at this time.
"In this way, Aiqing, you will sort out the experience of this period of time, compile it into a book, and I will bring it back to China so that those people in the cabinet can study hard." Zhu Youxiao finally said.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you for your kindness, and you will be loyal to the king and do your best. Cui Mingji knelt on the ground gratefully, this kind of honor of publishing a book is the best affirmation for him, and this kind of book is still for the cabinet bosses to learn, which really makes him excited.
"Get up." Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, waited for Cui Mingji to get up, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Do a good job, sort out North Korea thoroughly, and your next job is to promote the culture of the Ming Dynasty, Hanzi, Ming official dialect, and hundreds of classics, which must become the mainstream, or even the only one." ”
"As for North Korea's own writing and language, let's abolish it completely!"
Zhu Youxiao's last sentence, like a morning bell, rang in Cui Mingji's heart, shocking his heart, and even his body couldn't help shaking a few times.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......." Cui Mingji's voice trembled a little when he spoke, his eyes widened, and he was all flustered, confused, and helpless.
"What? Don't you want to? Zhu Youxiao looked at him sharply, and although his tone was light, it was mixed with an undeniable momentum, which made Cui Mingji's heart tremble.
"Wechen...... Wechen ........" Cui Mingji's lips squirmed, and he muttered a few times, but he couldn't say a complete sentence. Judging from his expression, it is obvious that he is also at war with heaven and man in his heart, whether to completely turn his back on his own nation and his own culture.
"Cui Mingji, you have no way out!" Zhu Youxiao's words made his face pale and remembered his current situation. Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao did not persecute too much, but said in a gentle and expectant tone, "As long as you do a good job in the cabinet change of the five years of the Apocalypse, there may be a place for you." ”
This sentence made Cui Mingji, who was pale, regain some blood, and even breathed rapidly. Although there was a report in the Imperial Daily before, jokingly saying that he could enter the cabinet, but he knew with his ass that it was almost impossible, how could he be such a high position as a traitor in a vassal land.
However, who the cabinet members are is all determined by the emperor, not by the ministers of the Ming Dynasty as in the past. Now the emperor has opened his mouth, although it is not yet the final conclusion, everything depends on his performance.
But it also means a lot of opportunities! How could Cui Mingji not be ecstatic.
"Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely not live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!" Cui Mingji solemnly knelt on the ground with a joy that could not be concealed, and kowtowed with a bang.
"Haha, I have always been trustworthy in Aiqing's ability, work hard, I have always been a person with clear rewards and punishments." Zhu Youxiao helped Cui Mingji up, and both sides laughed together.
