The next day, the Metropolitan Procuratorate,

Yan Chengjin wrote down the evaluation of each vassal king.

A figure walked into the duty room: "Lord Wu, Lord Yan, the Baoguo Gong Class has returned to the court, and His Majesty will lead a hundred officials to greet him at the city gate." ”

Zhu Hui defeated the Tatars and Jurchens in Datong, and His Majesty has always kept it in mind.

In winter, the war consumes a lot of armaments, and the Ming, Tatar, Jurchen and North Korea all need to recuperate.

It's just that I don't know about Zhu Hui's purging situation?

The Jurchens were divided into three parts, the Jianzhou Jurchens, the West Sea Jurchens and the East China Sea Jurchens, each fighting for itself.

Uniting with the Tatars was the strongest Jianzhou Jurchen, and it was not to be feared that the remnants would be exterminated.

Wu Kuan walked up to Yan Chengjin: "This official and you represent the Metropolitan Procuratorate to welcome the Duke of Baoguo." ”

Yan Chengjin came to the city gate, and Emperor Hongzhi's honor guard had already been prepared.

Zhu Hui rode a vermilion horse, and when he saw Emperor Hongzhi, he dismounted and walked on foot.

"Chen Zhu Hui, exterminate most of the Jurchens in Jianzhou and the West Sea, and the Jurchens in the East China Sea, hidden in the area of the Far North River, and the mountains are covered by heavy snow, so they can only fight again next year!"

The Jurchens of the East China Sea lived in the area of the Ussuri River, which was extremely cold, and the soldiers and horses of North Korea would freeze to death when they entered the country.

It's almost winter, and if you encounter a blizzard, you can't go back.

Although Yan Chengjin was anxious, he also knew that Zhu Hui's decision was appropriate.

It's just that after three months of recuperation, the remnants of the Jianzhou Jurchen and the West Sea Jurchen are afraid that they will unite with the East China Sea Jurchen.

Emperor Hongzhi laughed heartily and said continuously: "Okay, good, Jianzhou has been bullying the people of Liaodong for a long time, and the first emperor once expelled them to the northernmost river valley, but it didn't help, only look at the Guogong." ”

Zhu Hui looked at Emperor Hongzhi and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, even if there is no Jurchen, it will be occupied by Tatars." ”

There are a large number of people living in the border city, and it is stable.

If there were no civilians to guard, the imperial court would not usually send heavy troops to garrison it, and even if there were no Jurchens, the territory of Jianzhou would fall into the hands of the Tatars.

Yan Chengjin agrees with Baoguogong.

Even if the Ming Dynasty does not implement radical reproduction, the people will be born drastically, and the sky and the earth will be born in the dark.

What is lacking is not the imperial decree, but the food to feed the heirs.

"Although what Bao Guogong said is reasonable, I cannot rashly move the people to the north, where the ice and snow are severe and the cultivation cannot be ......."

Emperor Hongzhi felt that there was no way to conquer it, and to occupy a large area of open land without sending people to occupy it permanently was tantamount to giving it to the Tatars.

Yan Chengjin pondered and speculated on various possibilities, and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, let the vassal king go to Liaodong to establish a feudal state?" ”

The reason why the people were reluctant to go to settle down was nothing more than two points, without the protection of the imperial court, and the frozen soil in Liaodong was difficult to cultivate.

The vassal king established a feudal state in Liaodong and passed it on forever, just like using trees to stabilize the sediment, and the territory of Liaodong could be firmly controlled by the imperial court.

"Although this method is effective, which vassal king is willing to go to Liaodong?" Liu Jianfu asked rhetorically.

"How about letting the last vassal king go to Liaodong in the vassal king's plan?"

Yan Chengjin thought to himself, the vassal king was making wine bags and rice bags in the feudal country, so it was better to let them go to Liaodong to be the fortress of the imperial court.

It is also regarded as making the best use of people, and they did not eat the rice of the imperial court in vain.

With the financial resources of the Ming Dynasty, although it was difficult to build a city, it was not impossible.

The areas where the Jianzhou Jurchens and the East China Sea Jurchens live are Heilongjiang and Liaoning.

These places, in the Hereafter, can also live.

And now, because of the collapse of the guard system, the people have fled south, away from conscription.

"Now, who is the last person to evaluate the plan of the vassal king?" Emperor Hongji asked.

Hundreds of officials looked over one after another, and always felt that Yan Chengjin was deliberately embarrassed.

Yan Chengjin took out the general ranking book of the assessment of the vassal king's plan, "Back to Your Majesty, it is King Shou, but the ranking of this roster will change at any time." ”

Emperor Hongzhi took the booklet and turned a few pages, and the ranking of the assessment was really changing.

"It is not unprecedented to seal the vassal king outside the pass, I remember that Emperor Gao once sealed the feudal state of Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, outside the pass, and ordered him to guard the frontier, what do the princes think, what is the proposal of the Yan Qing family?"

Han Wen bowed his hand: "To seal the feudal country in Liaodong, it is necessary to establish a royal palace for the prince and settle the people." ”

"More importantly, the frozen soil of Liaodong is difficult to cultivate, and it has always been hunting for a living, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are skilled in farming, but they are not proficient in hunting. Xie Qian nodded.

The officials of the household department nodded their heads, Liaodong is vast, and Da Ming was not interested in this land, so he gave it up.

They think about the taxes of the people, if you hunt and don't farm, how can you pay taxes?

In later generations, Liaodong and Heilongjiang not only could live in people, but also had a large population, which can be undoubtedly confirmed.

But how to convince His Majesty and the officials?

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully and said: "In Liaodong and the places north of it, corn can be grown, although it is one kind a year, and the tax is not much.

However, the imperial court can set Liaodong as a special jurisdiction, and taxes are only collected once a year. ”

If you plant less, you have to pay the same tax, which is the fish and the people.

The establishment of a special zone in the Ming Dynasty, independent of the imperial court system, and special management, can dispel the concerns of the people.

It's just that this move is not hesitant to change the ancestral system, I don't know if Your Majesty and the hundred officials agree with it?

"How did the Qing family come up with two kinds of taxes in one country?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin.

This doesn't sound like a boast.

Yan Chengjin's heart tightened: "The minister deduced from Liangxiang, so he came up with it." ”

"Taxes are not important, the important thing is to survive the people of a city and stabilize the territory of Liaodong."

…………

Liangxiang grass shed,

Zhu Chenhao opened his eyes dimly, and the sleeping Cao family was pillow in the crook of his arm.

This king has been sleeping for more than a month, why hasn't the plan of the vassal king ended?

He hugged such an ugly woman every night, even if he could endure it, he felt that he couldn't stay up.

He supported himself lightly, sat up barefoot, and prepared to go to Liangxiang Street to fight cocks and earn money.

Although Zhu Houzhao's method is vulgar, it is very easy to use to make money, and you don't need to use your brain.

"Lang Son-in-law, are you up? The old decay came in. Old man Cao walked in, holding two white-flour steamed buns.

Zhu Chenhao's face was as usual, and he endured his anger very well, and said with a smile: "My husband doesn't have to send breakfast every day. ”

"Don't get in the way, the old man likes your son-in-law." Old man Cao looked at the curtain with joy, and then looked at Zhu Chenhao: "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

He always felt that his son-in-law was an extraordinary talker and a person who could do great things.

Zhu Chenhao saw the spy outside the door, didn't want to talk more, and went out with a steamed bun.

The spy announced Emperor Hongzhi's will: "King Ning, the last of the vassal kings, will go to the extremely cold region of Liaodong to establish a feudal state and a solid territory. ”

Zhu Chenhao has an inexplicable sense of crisis, I don't know, what is his ranking?

If the feudal state is changed to Liaodong, the plan that has been prepared for many years will be in vain.

His Majesty's thoughts are getting more and more, and for the sake of safety, he must quickly end the vassal king's plan and return to the fiefdom.

He thought of Yang Tinghe.

At this time, Xingwang Zhu Youqi also heard that the vassal king planned to draw the last one and go to Liaodong to seal the territory, and he was shocked.

Most of the reactions of the vassal kings were like this.

……

When Old Man Cao came to deliver breakfast, Zhu Chenhao closed the door: "Please also ask the old man to help me deliver the letter to the capital and Yang Tinghe's mansion in three days." ”

If you enter Beijing today, you will definitely be targeted by secret agents, and after three days, it will be more secure.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, Yang Tinghe saw King Ning's letter, frowned slightly, and burned the letter without saying a word.
