The head opens the way, and the government is wide behind the palace.

Zhu Yunwen's two successive decrees have changed the hearts of the people and reduced the resistance of local powerful landlords, and the heads of thousands of greedy people are not worth mentioning in the face of the mighty general trend.

"Whoever smashes the people's jobs, Your Majesty wants whose head"

At a glance, the publication of this title knows that it comes from the hand of Xu Buji, a sycophant.

The article combines the causes and consequences, first taking out the Du family, a villain who has been cool, as a typical whipping corpse, and then the policy of tax leniency and fire consumption in the later text is naturally a praise of Zhu Yunwen's merits, highlighting the contradiction between the corruption and unkindness of local officials and Emperor Jianwen's love for the people like a son.

At the end of the article, Xu Buji said this 'heartfelt' testimonial.

"Since the abolition of tax-exempt fields by the central government, the local people have chosen to attach their fields to the names of famous scholars and bureaucrats in order to avoid paying taxes, so that it has directly led to the illegal behavior of taking advantage of the loopholes of the Ming law and taking the opportunity to oppress the people like the Du family, and His Majesty the Emperor is very sad when he learns about it.

His Majesty spent a month without thinking about tea and dinner, and couldn't sleep all night, not only worried about the anxiety of the people at this time, but also sad because the people did not understand the law, and avoided taxes and deceived the court. ’

Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and you can see that what the people have done is because they have been deceived by lawbreakers to have the calamity of the present time, and Your Majesty loves the people like sons, even if the people have illegal acts, thinking of this, they cannot bear to be punished, and they should be held responsible, and those lawbreakers will bear it.

He also thought about whether the people were doing so because the imperial court was taxing too much, so he lowered the new policy of leniency and reduced the tax on acres of land. ”

The splendid article with thousands of words was swayed, and the three provinces with the heaviest number of victims, Nanzhili, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang, were suddenly crying.

This scene really responded to Yang Shiqi's conjecture of the Wanjiasheng Ancestral Hall, and every household invited Zhu Yunwen, the immortal tablet of Emperor Jianwen, to be enshrined in the main hall, and sacrificed day and night.

Xu Buji is the spiritual leader of the world's sycophants, as soon as he publishes an article, the voices of the local associations can be noisy, and then it causes a large-scale patting of the emperor's sycophants, and what kind of umbrellas, books of the people and other things keep emerging.

If it weren't for the local government and county to stop them, I am afraid that those grassroots people who have already fallen into infinite admiration for Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, will be able to make a second movement to Beijing.

"This sycophant, count him as another meritorious worker."

Throwing the newspaper aside, Zhu Yunwen didn't have the energy to care about these splendid articles touted by the outside world, and now the registration of the population and acres had to start all over again, and he had to get busy with business.

"The old rule, Sichuan, Yunnan, Jiaozhi, Liangguang, Guizhou and Taiwan are not in this count."

There are a very large number of local people in these places, such as Jiaozhi and Taiwan, which accounts for seventy or eighty percent of the local people, there is no need to check these places, and they are not a big tax province, even if they point out tens of thousands of hectares of land and hundreds of thousands of Dingkou, what can they bring to the current Ming Dynasty with visible income? So there is no need to undermine the current stable good situation for the sake of such a place.

Several members of the cabinet were all attentive to writing in a small notebook, which also made there not a trace of noise in this palace, except for Zhu Yunwen sitting on the top and chattering there.

As he was talking, a small eunuch came in from outside the hall, kneeling on the threshold: "Your Majesty, the general administration secretary left the general administration Hu Sizong to meet you." ”

"Yo, our big housekeeper of Daming is here?"

Zhu Yunwen drank saliva to moisten his dry throat and eyes: "Summons it in." ”

The little eunuch received the order, and after a while, Hu Sizong's figure appeared in Zhu Yunwen's sight.

"See Your Majesty's Holy Bow Jin'an."

When Hu Sizong came in, he still held a notebook in his hand, and when he met him, he held it high above the top: "Wusi Sanzang Tong brought the monk master, the Mahayana Dharma King, and the blazing Buddha treasure national teacher Nga Pa Zangbu and his party into Beijing, and temporarily resided in the official post of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Zhu Yunwen, who said a large list of titles, was dizzy, and he didn't understand who came to Nanjing for a long time, so he glared angrily: "Let's put it simply." ”

Hu Sizong hurriedly lowered his head: "It can be regarded as the king of the land of Wusizang, called Ranga Bazangbu." ”

It's all a mess of names.

Xie Jin, who has always been erudite, had the heart to open his mouth to explain the identity of this Ngaba Zangbu, but was also interrupted by Zhu Yunwen waving his hand: "I didn't have the leisure to listen to his origin and the origin of his long list of prefixes, Hu Sizong, you just tell me directly, what is this thing for?" ”

Zhu Yunwen has always wanted to take this piece of Wusizang, but before he could figure out the reason, the people here came first.

"Hearing the majesty of His Majesty's holy name, I offer the map of Sanzang and the royal front! And ask Your Majesty to seal the right name. ”

"Wait a minute."

Seeing Hu Sizong's impassioned look, Zhu Yunwen stood up and went down the imperial steps, walked all the way to Hu Sizong to take this inscription, and glanced at the messy brain pain, so he had to slap it in Hu Sizong's arms.

"The more I talk about it, the more confused I become, offer the map of Sanzang, what do you mean is that this thing wants to surrender?"

"Your Majesty..."

Before Hu Sizong finished his sycophant words, he saw Zhu Yunwen's face drop, and he was immediately frightened and changed his words: "Yes, Langjiaba Zangbu came with the map and household register of Sanzang, and begged me to enter the land of Sanzang to set up a capital guard." ”

There are two grasslands in the front, and there are three Buddhist families in the back, needless to say, it must be related to the invasion of the Green Religion.

"If you think about it, let's do it once, what are you doing with our Nanjing?"

Zhu Yunwen was still bubbling up in that beauty, and he opened his mouth behind his back: "Your Majesty, as early as the fifth year of Hongwu, this Nga Pa Zangbu came once, and he presented his surrender to Taizu. ”

Without waiting for Zhu Yunwen to ask, Xie Jin hurriedly explained.

"In the second year of Hongwu, the general trend of the world has been decided, and Taizu sent an edict to Duogan and the Xuanzheng Yuan of the Yuan Dynasty, urging the former ministers of the Yuan Dynasty to surrender.

In the third year of Hongwu, when the king of the west of the town of the Yuan Dynasty surrendered to my Ming Dynasty, the following year, the three kings of the Xuanzheng Yuan left by the Eight Sipa were scattered, and pushed the Mahayana King Ranga Pa Zangbu as the Sanzang Shangshi, and took it as the leader to surrender to Taizu in Nanjing, and Taizu named him the national teacher of the blazing Buddha, and commanded all the old official offices in the Wusi-Tibetan region that were set up when the Yuan Dynasty, the Xuanwei Division, the Recruitment Division, the Marshal's Mansion, and the Ten Thousand Households.

Although I set up the Ming Dynasty to set up the Usi Tibetan Division, but because of the water and soil dissuitability, after the retrenchment, so far the dynasty has not been re-established for decades, the matter of tribute, except for the five years of Hongwu, eight years have had twice, there has never been, the six departments of the DPRK have never set up the Usi Tibetan Division, which means that the Usi Tibetan line has never been commanded. ”

In fact, if you want to know how big the territory of the Ming Dynasty was in a certain period, you can refer to the establishment and elimination of the Ming Household Department, and you can know the changes in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Don't just look at the various Xuanwei Divisions on the map, the establishment of the Xuanwei Division of the Ming Dynasty is not all set up after destroying other people's countries, but all the vassal states that pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will set up a Xuanwei Division in that area, which is more like an embassy for later generations.

Like what Mengyang, Cheli, Eight Hundred Dadian, and the Old Port are all of this nature, the actual control of the Ming Dynasty over these areas is equal to zero, and the Old Port Propaganda Division is because when Zheng He went to the West, he fought with the local Han forces in the Old Port, and then appointed the local Han as the officials of the Propaganda Division, during that period, the Old Port area could barely be regarded as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and when the sea stopped, the Old Port Propaganda Division was wiped out by the local barbarians.

In the year of Yongle, the household department added the Jiaozhi Division, and added a commissioner to count the annual tribute of the Warat Department and the Tatar Department, which was actually similar to the tax revenue of the provinces within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, rather than the tribute.

Tribute is an attitude, and every year a thousand children and 800 sheep can be given, and 3500 depending on the heart.

But the household department has a special person to come to the door to ask, that is a fixed number, it is necessary to give how much, and the provinces pay taxes every year is a reason, where is there a place to pay as much as you want to pay? During this period, it can be said that the grassland was part of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, because the Warat and Tatars accepted the vote and were willing to pay taxes honestly.

And after Amy Timur died violently, after Arutai killed the messenger sent by the Ming Dynasty to urge the New Year's tribute, the business of this area was suspended, and no matter how Zhu Di fought with the grassland in person, the grassland could not be regarded as the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

With the announcement of the independence of the political envoy division by Jiaozhi, the Jiaozhi Division finally forced Zhu Di to give up the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division and ended, after which, Annan could not be regarded as the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

When people pay tribute to you, they can only be called vassal countries, and those who pay taxes in fixed amounts every year are called territories.

In modern times, the act of giving some gifts and giving some support is called a friendly country.

In addition to the external invasion in the early days of the Yongle Dynasty, Wu Si hid into Nanjing, and then Zhu Di sealed the eight kings of Tibet, and vigorously promoted the monk official system, that is, to the monks of Wu Si Zang to open a court of the court, and then the group of monks from the Serfs will collect a part of the taxes collected by the monks from the Ming Dynasty every year.

During this period of time, Wusizang was regarded as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and when Zhu Di stretched his legs, he became independent again.

After hearing Xie Jin's endless talk, Zhu Yunwen finally understood what this Ngāpa Zangbu was, and the excitement in his heart faded a lot.

In the era of zero industrial base, the possibility of ruling the Us-Tibet region is equal to zero, and the Tibetan plateau is so easy to conquer?

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "Okay, I know, let that person wait first, and then summon him when I'm done." ”

When the dignified Mahayana King came to Zhu Yunwen's mouth, he didn't even have a name.

Hu Sizong was ordered to retreat, and Zhu Yunwen frowned lightly and sat back in his place.

"Let's go on, where did I just go?"

Several people hurriedly flipped through the pamphlets in their hands.

"Your Majesty said that this time the investigation of Tianmu Dingkou should be postponed in several border provinces, and stability must not be undermined, so as not to intensify the contradictions between the local people and our Han people."

Yang Shiqi opened his mouth and said: "Especially the newly appointed Jiaozhi Cheng Xuan Political Envoy Division, we must be even more cautious. ”

"I promise to give Jian Ding Jiaozhi ten years of autonomy, so I don't care how he governs Jiaozhi."

After slapping his head and thinking about it, Zhu Yunwen took advantage of the topic and said: "Jiaozhi is twice a year, and the hinterland is three times a year, which is a ready-made huge granary in my Ming Dynasty. ”

Yang Shiqi sat down and recorded, and raised his head when he heard the words: "The number of laborers is not enough, the Ministry of Industry sent people to survey, mapping and calculating, from Zhongming Mansion to build a national highway directly to Hanoi, if you want to complete it next year, at least 200,000 people need to start construction on both sides, and now only 50,000 people have been recruited in Guangxi, and the gap is very large." ”

"Why don't you raise a batch from Jiaozhi locally?"

Xie Jin opened his mouth and proposed: "The shortage of 150,000 people can only be taken out by Jiaozhi at the moment. ”

"Jiaozhi has just finished fighting, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make up for it for a while."

Moreover, the restoration of the people's livelihood in Jiaozhi is concerned about the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and the previous big battle was fought, and most of the people who are alive in Jiaozhi are now old and sick, and they rely on this group of strong laborers to give birth to babies at home, and they can't move too much for the time being.

Zhu Yunwen frowned, and this time he aimed at the notebook that Hu Sizong had just sent on the big case.

Or, borrow those serfs under the Buddha's throne?

This is really a good opportunity, and with careful operation, it may not be impossible to achieve.

"Alright, I'll figure out a way to do this, next one."

Everyone in the hall looked at each other and smiled, and they understood in their hearts that the emperor must have an idea, and it was also happy to follow such an emperor, although the emperor often did some pickled things that could not be put on the table, but the central idea was for the Ming court.

"The provincial examinations of the provinces should be prepared to be held, and the first to bear the brunt is Nan Zhili, who should be handed over by Tianfu Yin to ask for instructions, which ones are the topics to be examined?"

The provincial examination examines political affairs, so what political affairs are examined?

In the past, when taking the Bagu essay and the lecture notes of the classics, everyone had to choose the topic, and just cut off some words between the ambiguities of the inner meaning and put them on, so that those candidates could fill in the annotations and impressions, which fit the general idea of governing the world at that time, and echoed the examiner's thoughts at that time.

"What does the central government do in the provincial examination questions?"

Zhu Yunwen was dissatisfied: "This time in the provincial examination of Nanzhili, Tianfu Yin is responsible for the examination of the entire provinces and states of Nanzhili, doesn't he know what Nanzhili lacks?" I don't know what thorny problems he has encountered as an official over the years? Still ask me? ”

After a pause, he said again.

"Shanxi has been busy digging coal in the past two years, Fujian has been busy with salt transportation, Zhejiang has been busy raising silkworms, and Nanzhili has been busy weaving silk.

Some time ago, the court cut off the heads of so many people, and there was a shortage of people at the entrance of the place, and they didn't count it in their hearts?

Isn't it worth reflecting on why things are like this?

That's what I said, and the Secretary of General Affairs sent it out, let them make it up for themselves. ”

Several people in the audience touched each other, and they all nodded, feeling that what Zhu Yunwen said was indeed reasonable.

Since the political affairs of the provinces are different, the central government's ruling on the unified examination questions is also not in line with the situation of the provinces.

In fact, in the provincial examination, Zhu Yunwen plans to learn from the provincial examination of civil servants in later generations.

That is, the administrative vocational aptitude test and the argument.

Those who have participated in the civil service examination know that there are all kinds of things in the line test, and the purpose of the test is to see the candidate's involvement and knowledge.

Zhu Yunwen plans to set a set of test questions belonging to Daming in two years.

The classical contents of Taoism, law, Confucianism, agriculture, soldiers, and vertical and horizontal are all picked out, and the ideas related to governing the country and the people are screened out to compile a complete set of question banks.

The Yongle Canon is definitely gone in this life, and the Jianwen Canon can be considered.
