"Brother, follow this palace, the land will be there, and the lady will be there!"

"Chitose ......"

An elderly veteran who spoke was already grateful. In the tent set up in the inner school field, the nine soldiers of the same team all knelt on the ground, watching Zhu Cihong hand over the white flowers and silver, and a book of orders that were said to be exchanged for fifty acres of paddy fields in Jiangnan, and handed them to their captain, a veteran from the Yongwei battalion.

This veteran looks like he is in his fifties, in fact, he is just over forty, and he has worked in the Yongwei Battalion and the Fourth Guard Battalion, the predecessor of the Yongwei Battalion, for half his life, and he has not saved dozens of acres of land, nor has he married a daughter-in-law, and now his family is not worth ten taels of silver.

Nothing, so to speak! And he hasn't eaten meat since he quit the Brave Guard Battalion.

But today, he not only got the "land option", but also was named the "hero of overcoming difficulties", and he also got ten taels of silver for white flowers, and he also ate meat, and he ate it with Zhu Cihong!

The dignified prince Zhu Cihong, today is lunch with the captains and veterans of each team, eating the same food. I don't think everyone is dirty, I don't think everyone smells, I sit on the floor in the open space of the inner school field, and talk while eating.

This kind of thing, for veterans from humble backgrounds, is simply undreamable!

Don't say it's the prince, it's just a boss, that's also a dignified master, can eat and drink with the big soldiers, and talk together?

And Prince Zhu not only did not dislike these stinky soldiers, but also unexpectedly observed the people's sufferings and knew what everyone wanted and wanted. In the words of later generations, it is down-to-earth! It doesn't look like a high-ranking prince at all, it's simply a Taizu from the people.

And what everyone wants, Prince Zhu promises to give everyone something!

In a word, the land will be there, and the lady will have it...... When you arrive in Jiangnan, everyone is a hero who overcomes difficulties, you can get land, and you can marry a wife! It's all the prince's heartwork!

How is it better than Li Zicheng? Is it worth it?

Zhu Cihong smiled again and said to the soldiers kneeling in the tent: "You are all the pillars of my Ming Dynasty, as long as you follow the palace well, escort Nanxing, and when you arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, everyone will give you fifty acres of paddy fields!" Today, I will give the decree of the land, plus a reward of ten taels of silver!

Do it well, the land will be there, the lady will have it! ”

After saying this, he ordered Bi Jiucheng, the scrivener who followed him, to stay behind and ask for the names and origins of the soldiers and fill them in on the order, and then turned around and walked out of the tent under the eyes of everyone, either surprised or grateful.

Outside the tent, Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu, Zhu Chunjie, Li Jizhou, Huang Sanbao, Qiu Zhizhong, and three civil officials in their thirties and forties all looked at Zhu Cihong in amazement-the prince really did it!

It's really a broken knot!

It's really a fight with a bunch of stinky big-headed soldiers!

Is this still a prince?

This is almost catching up with Taizu and Chengzu......

Zhu Cihong beckoned to them and said with a smile: "Go to the next one...... Two hundred tents, all of which have to be walked through today. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, why are you doing this?"

A black-faced civil official in his forties, wearing a red python robe, a black veil on his head, and a beard on three beards, shook his head and said, "You are a golden body, how can you have a relationship with a horseman?" ”

"Where did Mr. Chen come from?" Zhu Cihong said as he walked, "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband!" And my family's world is based on these puppets, isn't it? ”

This "Mr. Chen" is named Chen Rui, the official worships the prince and washes the horse, and is the lecturer of the East Palace, that is, Zhu Cihong's teacher.

Hearing Zhu Cihong's "strange theory", Mr. Chen Da was stunned at first, and then exchanged glances with the other two lecturers who were invited by Zhu Chunjie.

The three lecturers don't know Zhu Cihong a little!

Zhu Cihong is a good student! He has a lot of respect for his teacher, and he studies very hard, and he is very eager to be a Ming Jun and a holy monarch like Emperor Chongzhen.

And Zhu Cihong also has special rules, he is very timid, and he doesn't dare to violate the rules in the palace at all.

But today...... What's going on? The whole thing has changed, not only pretending to be sick and skipping school, but also getting involved in military power! This is a taboo as a prince! is still full of nonsense, saying that Taizu dreamed, this is a ghost and god theory, is it reliable?

In addition, as a prince, he should be self-respecting, how can he get along with a group of soldiers? What is this for? Even if you want to turn it in, you should still hand it over to the scholars, how can you associate with these vulgar soldiers?

Zhu Cihong didn't look at the faces of a few gentlemen, but just said with a heartfelt voice: "The three gentlemen may think that the scholar doctor is the foundation of the world, but in fact, they have forgotten where the ancestral family business came from?"

Emperor Taizu Gao did attach great importance to Confucianism, but he did not rely on Confucianism to win the world. Taizu was born in cloth, started from the grass, and took advantage of the loss of the Yuan to create the emperor's industry in a hundred battles, relying on the strong men and women in the Yangtze River and Huai River.

After the creation of the Ming Dynasty, Grandpa Taizu did not forget these horsemen who followed him, and set up seventeen divisions in all corners of the world, one left behind the division, three hundred and twenty-nine internal and external guards, and sixty-five guards of thousands of households. There are 1 hundred thousand military households under its jurisdiction! All are given land, and the combination of farming and warfare is enough to be self-sufficient. These hundreds of thousands of military households are the foundation of my Ming Dynasty to establish the country and rule the world!

If the capitals, guards, and military households placed by Emperor Gao of the Heavenly Taizu are still good, they are the same as in the Hongwu period, what is the Liukou? What is Dongyu? How can they confront my Ming Million Heroes? When Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Cheng Zuwen, did they Jurchens dare to rebel?

Think about it, three gentlemen...... Today's disaster is not that I didn't take care of the world's scholars, but that I didn't take care of tens of thousands of military households! During the Hongwu period, a military household had at least 50 mu of land, and 1 or 100,000 military households should have at least 80 or 90 million mu of land. But how many acres of land are there in the world's health centers now? Most of the guards don't even have an acre of land, right?

Without land, military households naturally could not afford military service, and the capital and health offices were useless. The imperial court had to spend money to recruit troops to quell the Liao bandits, and the salaries, training salaries, and salaries also came from this. The world is ruined because of it! ”

How is this possible!?

How could this prince know so clearly at such a young age? There must be a traitor who is bewitching the prince, right?

The three gentlemen all cast their rather unkind eyes on Wu Xiang, who looked like a traitor and knew most about the things of the military household of the guard.

Wu Xiang was furious by them for a while, but he was as surprised as the three gentlemen. He was innocent and had never said such things to Zhu Cihong that he shouldn't have said.

And this kind of talk is in vain, and it can only offend people.

The land of the Metropolitan Guard has been divided among the nobles, hereditary officers, military sergeants, and vassal kings, and who else can ask them for their return? Is it possible? Why?

Looking at Li Shichun, a sixty-year-old scholar in the East Palace, who was thin and had a slightly protruding cheekbones, frowned, and said in standard Cantonese official dialect: "Your Highness, you are the prince of the country, and you must be cautious in everything you say and do." Is there a holy will for what Your Highness is doing now? ”

"Yes!" Zhu Cihong didn't know how to tell the truth, he lowered his voice, "This is a secret decree, and you must not let outsiders know about it...... The rebellion is coming, and the saint will make a plan for the great tomorrow, and will stay in the south as a last resort, and the palace and Wang Chengen will supervise this matter. The purpose of inviting the three gentlemen here today is to discuss who among the courtiers must go with them. In addition, this palace has a heavy responsibility, and it needs three assistants, and from today on, the three of them will follow this palace to do things. ”

It would be nice to have a will......

The three gentlemen breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone hanging in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

What Zhu Cihong is doing now, if there is no will, is enough to be abolished. It's not the same with a purpose...... It shows that the Son of Heaven fully trusts the prince and is ready to let the prince master a little force, not only to protect Nan Xing, but also to bear the rise and fall of the great tomorrow when necessary.

If the crown prince can ascend the throne early, then they will not be cabinet scholars for too long!

This year is only over fifty, and he looks dignified, at most in his forties, Lin Zengzhi, a young Zhan Shi, said: "Since there is a decree, then please continue to hand it over to Yu Shi." How about I wait for the three of us to discuss it first and come up with a list? ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, "Then there will be Mr. Lao." ”
