Wei Zhongxian is actually ready to go to Xiaoling to retire or sit on a cold bench in the capital, after all, during the Chenghua period, the majestic West Factory was made into a simple supervision agency by Emperor Chongzhen, and there is basically not much power.

But today, Emperor Chongzhen's sudden appearance made Wei Zhongxian feel that he might be thinking too much.

If the emperor really plans to refrigerate himself or simply kill himself, as long as he hints at Jinyiwei or Dongchang, his head will definitely not be saved, and now he still lets himself keep an eye on Shaanxi's relief for the emperor, isn't this a great trust and grace?

As for offending the officials of Shaanxi or something? Isn't that fucking funny?

Since I Lao Wei was beaten by the first emperor, he was the eunuch in the mouth of those scholars and officials, a dead eunuch, nine thousand years old, what is it to offend an official? As long as the emperor can be satisfied, even if he picks up the skins of all his Shaanxi officials, I Lao Wei will not blink an eye!

With this rather tragic idea that the confidant dies or treats me as a countryman, I will repay the king with a countryman, Wei Zhongxian can be regarded as a free, and the entire Shaanxi can be mobilized, as well as the Xichang fans who were urgently transferred from the capital.

Suddenly, a huge web was fully spread out in Shaanxi and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Wei Zhongxian was like a spider sitting in the middle of the array, listening to his subordinates report the news collected from all over the country every day, or passing it to Jinyiwei or Dongchang, or picking out some of the sensitive contents, and then quickly entering Beijing and presenting it to Emperor Chongzhen.

And Emperor Chongzhen, who returned to the capital, had just finished the aftermath of the earthquake in the capital and began to have a headache again.

At the beginning, it was a bit big, it seemed that the surrounding places were picked by the feudal kings, and after the selection, the domestic fiefdoms were replaced, and the Ming Dynasty no longer raised the feudal kings as pigs.

I bragged about it, and I had to finish crying, and now it's time for Emperor Chongzhen to cry.

Zhu Yujian, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, is now coming to find Emperor Chongzhen.

Since the seven years of the Apocalypse, Zhu Yujian has not done anything else since he returned to his fiefdom, all the land is not planted, all of it is sealed, jewelry and other things can not be eaten or drunk, sold, and ordered the brocade guards and eunuchs in the palace to sell it for silver, in order to sell it for more money, Zhu Xiaowang specially ordered people to sell it one after another, and it was almost last month that it was all replaced with silver.

As for those who farm land for the palace, or sell themselves as slaves, Zhu Xiaowang waved his hand, gave money and land to sell the deed, and bought a wave of people's hearts first.

After everything was ready, Zhu Xiaowang came to the capital to find Emperor Chongzhen again, planning to go overseas to open the country now.

Originally, if someone replaced the fiefdom, and it was Zhu Yujian, who was more optimistic about himself as the vassal king, took the lead, it is said that Emperor Chongzhen should be very happy.

But looking at the position pointed out by Zhu Yujian on the map of the rivers and mountains, Emperor Chongzhen really couldn't laugh - Zhu Yujian's slender fingers pointed to the island of Taiwan in later generations, and the current Great Ryukyu.

The corners of Emperor Chongzhen's mouth twitched, and he said to Zhu Yujian: "Ryukyu this position...... Why don't Uncle Wang change it? ”

Zhu Yujian's force value is good, and he also has ambitions, but the problem is that his strategic vision is still not enough, or he didn't think too much about it, and he just looked at Chongzhen curiously: "The minister is stupid, please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhu Yujian with a curious look, and said helplessly: "I don't want to say anything to Uncle Wang, this place is the maritime gateway of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to replace the fief."

This is also Uncle Wang's loyalty to the country, and if he comes to another person, I will have to wonder what his intentions are. ”

When Zhu Yujian heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. You might as well fucking say that you're worried that Lao Tzu will block you there: "Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”

Chongzhen said: "What Uncle Wang wants to say is that this place is now in the hands of the Dutch Yi people, and it is not owned by the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Zhu Yujian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty." ”

Chongzhen waved his hand and said to Zhu Yujian: "What is Uncle Wang's crime? We are all a family, so we naturally have to think about our own families. I also knew that Uncle Wang wanted to take back this place for the imperial court.

It's just that I have already ordered the Ming sailors to rectify their training and build a treasure ship, and when the time comes, the Ryukyus will naturally go down and belong to my Ming again. At that time, no matter what kind of maritime threat it faces, the Ming Dynasty has a large enough depth to maneuver, so this place must not be replaced.

Uncle Wang should not say that I broke my word and gained weight, it is too important here. ”

How many knowing beasts Zhu Yujian has rushed in his heart, outsiders don't know. It's just that I originally set my eyes on this good place, and I didn't think about other places at all, and now the fields in the fiefdom are also barren, and the jewelry has been exchanged for silver, just waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to nod and go to recruit displaced people to open the country, this fucking suddenly said that this land can't be changed, Zhu Yujian felt that if Chongzhen was not the emperor, he could personally hack him to death.

Since you don't give the land that Lao Tzu likes, then you pick it for Lao Tzu and see how bad the place you can choose! Zhu Yujian, who had made up his mind in his heart, said: "The minister asks His Majesty for guidance and chooses a place for the minister." ”

Now it was Emperor Chongzhen's turn to have a headache. The map is big enough, but it's not easy to pick a suitable place.

To the north, the bitter cold land over there is actually a big treasure house, and Emperor Chongzhen is reluctant to do so.

To the west, the land in India is also a good place, and it is said that there are many gems on it, but Emperor Chongzhen is still reluctant.

To the south, the big granary of the place that crops three times a year, and then to the south, there are more good things in the sea, scallops and oysters are all good things, and Emperor Chongzhen is reluctant to think about it.

To the east? Forget it to the east, but now there is only sea water left in addition to Japan and the islands of all sizes. This kind of thing is the founding of the country under the sea, not to mention the current Ming Dynasty, even if it is a few hundred years, no one can handle it.

As for going further east, running to Alaska or the Americas, Chongzhen wanted Zhu Yujian to go, the problem is that people have to go, especially with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands or more landless displaced people running so far, how many people can be left in the place, Emperor Chongzhen really has no bottom in his heart.

So the current situation is that Zhu Yujian is worry-free, and the problem is thrown to Emperor Chongzhen. And Emperor Chongzhen, who thinks that Zhu Yujian is not bad, has a headache now, this is damn difficult.

Otherwise, do a tai chi?

Emperor Chongzhen, who had made up his mind, asked, "Is Uncle Wang ready?" The recruitment of displaced people, as well as the officials, the army, all this is ready? ”

When Zhu Yujian heard this, he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, you are not ready to recruit people yet. However, the minister had already prepared the money, and as soon as he determined where to replace it, the minister immediately went to recruit men. When the minister heard that there was a drought in Shaanxi, the minister went to Shaanxi to recruit, and when the time came, it would be supervised by the factory guards. ”

Emperor Chongzhen sighed, and then continued: "Uncle Wang's thinking is simple. ”

Zhu Yujian asked, "Your Majesty, please show me." ”

Emperor Chongzhen saw that the topic was successfully transferred, so he continued to flicker: "In a country, there needs to be a prime minister, there needs to be officials from various ministries, there needs to be officials from various counties and counties, and there needs to be an army. These are not prepared, how can Uncle Wang go overseas to build a country?

Just like the Ming Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, it was the continuous war with Meng Yuan that laid down this huge territory, I can be regarded as a soldier, I know that it is not easy to do the army, Uncle Wang has ever led a soldier?

Not to mention, just the grain and grass, the statistics of the battle exploits, and the rewards are enough to give people a headache. ”

Zhu Yujian said in his heart, these things are troublesome Lao Tzu also knows, but he knows that he has to do it, it is better than being kept as a pig in Daming. As long as you go overseas, you can't feel too happy, right? Otherwise, why do so many people want to be emperors?

Although he was anxious about the fiefdom in his heart, Zhu Yujian was not a real fool, so he immediately bowed down and said, "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted, and after a deep sigh, he continued: "How many homeless people does Uncle Wang expect to recruit?" ”

In a word, Zhu Yujian was asked. If it is directly said that Lao Tzu plans to recruit 1.8 million displaced people, will the emperor think that Lao Tzu wants to rebel? If you recruit 180,000, then there is still a ball?

Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhu Yujian's face embarrassed, and probably guessed why he was embarrassed, so he said lightly: "I said something before, Uncle Wang can recruit as much as he can, and I will never stop it." Moreover, there are more than 100,000 people affected by the disaster in Shaanxi, and the more Wang Shuzu recruits, the less pressure the imperial court will have on the disaster victims, so Wang Shuzu does not have to worry that I will be suspicious of you.

Besides, I, the king of the Ming Dynasty, occupied all the land outside of the Ming Dynasty, and I was happy. No matter how messy it is, it will be considered that the meat is rotten in the pot, and it is my Han people's own business left and right, as long as it is not like a slave. ”

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen say this, Zhu Yujian let go of part of his heart first. This can be regarded as Emperor Chongzhen's confession to himself, and he knows it in his heart.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Yujian bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister wants to recruit 100,000 or 200,000 homeless people." ”

Chongzhen snorted, and then asked: "Let's count the 100,000 displaced people first, if you want to manage these 100,000 displaced people, how many officials do you need?" How many soldiers are there? How many professors are needed to teach these sons of exiles and local natives to speak and write Chinese characters? How much grain and grass do you need to go from Daming to the fiefdom? ”

Zhu Yujian was stopped by some words.

Zhu Yujian feels that he has money, this is a fact, Tang Wang has accumulated for so many years, and it is a joke to say that he has no money.

But having money doesn't mean that you can handle everything, first of all, this official is the biggest problem, how many officials are willing to give up the world of flowers in the Ming Dynasty and follow them to build a country overseas? Even if there is the temptation of following the dragon's merits, it is better to seek stability than to change, and it is even more difficult to leave the homeland. Is it really a selection of officials from among the homeless people and those scholars who are not willing? Not to mention anything else, what kind of virtue these scholars are, even if Zhu Yujian is not very clear, he can guess eight or nine points.

Seeing that Zhu Yujian's face was even more embarrassed, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "After all, everything is difficult at the beginning." Wang Shuzu was the first vassal king to request the transfer of the feud, and there was no precedent to follow, so it was a bit troublesome.

But I'm not that impersonal. In this way, I will now send an edict to the cabinet ministers and the six Shangshu to discuss with Uncle Wang, how about it? ”

Zhu Yujian was overjoyed when he heard this, and it seemed that the decision he made was really right.

Whether it was the previous one who scattered some of his family wealth and wanted to lead the army to the king, or the first to take the lead in agreeing to the emperor's policy of replacing fiefdoms, it brought great benefits to himself.

I may suffer a little loss now, but in the long run, it is definitely a good thing, absolutely. According to the temperament of the current emperor, can he still get the benefits of such a loyal vassal king in the future?

Zhu Yujian, who was determined, hurriedly bowed down and said, "Everything is up to Your Majesty." ”

Seeing Zhu Yujian's knowledge and interest, Emperor Chongzhen also said: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, I won't lose my family." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhu Yujian to thank him again, Emperor Chongzhen directly instructed Wang Chengen: "Biography, the first assistant of the cabinet, Wen Tiren, the second assistant, Shi Fenglai, Guo Yunhou, the secretary of the household department, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangfang, Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Cao Huachun, the commander of Dongchang, entered the palace to see me." ”

After Wang Chengen wrote it down, he hurriedly bowed down.

After a few people entered the palace, when they saw that Zhu Yujian, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, was also here with the emperor, plus the summoned people, they understood a little bit in their hearts, and it was probably related to what the emperor had said before about replacing the fief for the vassal king.

Sure enough, after a few people successively greeted Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Yujian, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, they heard Emperor Chongzhen speak: "I said before that King Xu Daming established a country overseas, and now I have summoned you Aiqing to discuss this matter." ”

Wen Tiren, as the first assistant, was elected and bowed down and said, "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

Chongzhen said: "I want to allow the Tang King to recruit displaced people to build a country overseas, but how many people are affected in Shaanxi and other places? How many people are willing to follow? How many soldiers will be needed? How many officers?

No matter which feudal king's fief, whether it is the Ming people who followed the past, or the local natives, they all need to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, and how many gentlemen will be needed to teach children at that time?

Everything is complicated, and I want to discuss it with all Aiqing. ”

When Wen Tiren heard this, he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, it is not easy to recruit displaced people now. ”

Chongzhen secretly scolded Nima in his heart, didn't he say that there were homeless people in the late Ming Dynasty? Why is it still difficult to recruit? Following Zhu Yujian, the grandson of King Tang, how can you eat enough?

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen looked at him but didn't speak, Wen Tiren continued: "The reason for this still lies in Your Majesty. ”
