Chapter 596: We're Family!
Originally, before going to sea, Zhu Yujian and the three scum were all very in line with the image of the king of the Ming Dynasty - fat, white and tender.
Now these three guys who are black and thinner are really the three vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty?
If it weren't for the certification of the Zongren Mansion, as well as Zheng Zhilong's guarantee, the inspection of several palace gates, and the meticulous process of these three guys' salutes, Emperor Chongzhen almost thought that these three guys were impersonated!
Hurriedly got up and walked in front of Zhu Yujian, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, please hurry up, they are all a family, there is no need to be so vain." β
Zhu Yujian took advantage of the situation to thank him and got up, but he subconsciously shuddered in his heart at Emperor Chongzhen's words that they were all family.
Yes, they are all a family, so when you give birth to a daughter, this king will give you silver and land; So when you called for the vassal king to be transferred and replaced with a fief, this king handed over the fief and ran overseas!
You're a family, right? It must be!
After Emperor Chongzhen helped Zhu Yujian up, he looked up and down again, and then said: "Uncle Wang has suffered, it is my sin." β
After secretly scolding Emperor Chongzhen several times in his heart for not being a good thing, Zhu Yujian forced out two tears: "After a few years, Your Majesty has also reduced a lot." β
Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to ask Zhu Yujian how he could see that he had lost a lot?
Eat the imperial meal carefully prepared by the imperial chef in the palace, drink the fresh spring water that is transported into the palace every day on Yuquan Mountain, and sleep with a rare beauty in the world, but I am afraid that it is not easy for me to clear it, right?
After sitting down again, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "After Uncle Wang came back, did he visit other vassal kings?" β
Zhu Yujian arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have been in the capital since they came back, except for a few vassal kings in the capital, the rest have not yet gone to pay a visit." β
Emperor Chongzhen snorted, he was quite satisfied with Zhu Yujian's well-behaved attitude towards the three of them, but it was not okay not to go out for a walk and pretend not to be forced.
After all, the vassal kings who went out came back and pretended to be forced to drive more vassal kings out, which was something he had planned for a long time.
After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen said: "There is a way that wealth does not return to the hometown, such as a night walk in clothes, who knows."
Uncle Wang, Uncle Qing Wang, and Brother Qin have overcome all the obstacles to expand the land for my Ming Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an immortal achievement, and it should be that my Ming clan knows that they all learn it.
Let's go back in this way, I will go back and order, and all the vassal kings and county kings of the world will enter Beijing, and our family will also get together, what does Uncle Wang want? β
Can I ask if I can say no? This dog emperor is going to use this king again, what should this king do?
Wait online, it's in a hurry!
But if he wanted to refuse Emperor Chongzhen and didn't have the courage, Zhu Yujian finally gritted his teeth and responded: "Everything is arranged by Your Majesty." β
Emperor Chongzhen nodded, this matter must be arranged, and it must be arranged properly!
Think about it, the nearly 100,000 clans of the Ming Dynasty, excluding those miscellaneous fish-like auxiliary generals or something, how many remaining vassal kings and county kings are left?
Get these scum together, let them see the three of them mixed up with Zhu Yujian, and then look at themselves who are raised as pigs.
That contrast, that feeling, tsk.
In particular, announce the clan reduction plan again? For example, the descendants of auxiliary generals are no longer named auxiliary generals, but become ordinary people?
I've been waiting for this day for a long time!
Zhu Yuanzhang thought well at the beginning, and the clan after two hundred years is no longer the elite clan when the country was founded.
The original Nine Great Sai Kings, all of them could ride horses to fight and understand? If you are unhappy, you can overthrow Zhu Laosi, who did it by himself, to find out?
Even if they die, the original clans are much stronger than these scum now!
The current 100,000 clans, to put it mildly, are 100,000 pigs to death!
Even Zhu Yujian, who took the initiative to replace their fiefdoms overseas, was at best just a few wild boars that had mutated occasionally!
After whispering a few words to Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen turned his gaze to Zhu Yujian and the three of them again, and said with a smile: "By the way, Uncle Wang came back this time, do you have to tell me about the situation on Xinming Island?" β
Zhu Yujian arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Xinming Island is a little far away from my Daming, and the time is different from my Daming.
Take the four seasons as an example, when I am in the summer of the Ming Dynasty, it is cold and windy on Xinming Island, and when I enter the winter of the Ming Dynasty, it is a hot summer on Xinming Island, which is really strange. β
What's so strange about the opposite climate in the northern and southern hemispheres? I read a lot, and I know the reason very well, but I just won't tell you why!
After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen asked, "What about the land on the island?" Have you ever figured out the terrain? β
Zhu Yujian's face suddenly turned slightly red, but fortunately he couldn't see it because of the darker reason, so he just arched his hand at the moment and said: "I am ashamed of Your Majesty, and I have the great trust of Your Majesty." The area of Xinming Island is huge, and the terrain is quite complicated, so far the terrain has not been explored, but a lot of people have entered it. β
Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said: "What is this, after all, it is a big island, and it is enough to explore slowly, if it doesn't work in five years, it will be ten years, and if it doesn't work in ten years, it will be twenty years, fifty years, and one hundred years."
Now is not the time when I first ascended the throne, now the Ming Dynasty has no strong enemies outside, and there are many fewer natural disasters inside, and I am not as anxious to emigrate as I was at the beginning. β
Zhu Yujian snorted for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty, if it's just like this, the minister won't say anything, but it's really a shame to say it!" β
Emperor Chongzhen's curiosity was hooked by Zhu Yujian: "What's the matter?" We are all a family, what else is Uncle Wang embarrassed to say? β
Zhu Yujian continued to mutter for a long time before he turned his heart aside, gritted his teeth and said: "It's really the bastards who were sent out to explore the terrain are nonsense, and they want to taste everything they catch, and many people are poisoned to death."
However, there are a lot of poisons on Xinming Island, spiders, snakes and insects, a little bit of cleaning up, the speed is really not fast, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness. β
Emperor Chongzhen smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I said that I'm not in a hurry, just take my time." β
I want to taste everything, and I think I am Shennong? The attributes of the foodie empire are really the same in any era!
After pulling back some of the thoughts that had deviated again, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "What about the others? What has been found on the island so far? Except for coal and wood? β
Zhu Yujian said with some pain: "At present, apart from finding a gold mine and aluminum mine, there are not many things left.
However, due to the terrain restrictions and the fact that there are too many poisons on the island, the gold and aluminum mines are only marked and are being cleaned up little by little, and it is expected that they will be mined in another three to five years. β
Emperor Chongzhen is interested in gold? Aluminium? Both of these are good things!
Not to mention the gold thing, the aluminum thing can be regarded as a valuable resource even in the future generations, and now of course it is necessary to draw some more to the Ming Dynasty.
After settling down, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Then take your time, don't worry." β
Zhu Yujian got up suddenly, then bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a reluctant request?" β
Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Uncle Wang's ancestors sit down and say, we are all a family, and everything is easy to discuss." β
After being hurt for a long time because of the family's words, Zhu Yujian spoke: "Your Majesty, the land on Xinming Island is vast and sparsely populated, and the minister wants to ask Your Majesty to move some more vassal kings, or move some more people over!" β
Emperor Chongzhen stretched out, bent his fingers and knocked on the table in front of him, but he did not immediately agree to Zhu Yujian's question.
In fact, many things are in the same vein, or after solving one problem, other problems may be solved.
Take the issue of immigration, for example.
Because Emperor Chongzhen regarded the people as his basic plate, the treatment of the people was really excellent - and then the spoiled people were unwilling to immigrate to the real border, and often had to be forced to relocate by the government.
Of course, the people here refer to those who have the household registration of the Ming Dynasty, and those who do not have a household registration, the government has never treated them as ordinary people, and they can push it when they encounter anything, and they can ignore it.
In fact, it is also very easy to understand, just like the afterlife, can you have an ID card or not have an ID card? Is it the same to have a nationality and not to have a nationality?
If you don't have an ID card, you have no nationality, and if you are slaughtered, there will be no one to help you avenge your grievances, which is very simple.
This point is even more vividly reflected in the Ming Dynasty - the Ming people have a conflict with the barbarians, and they must be partial to the Ming people.
However, if the two parties to the conflict are both Ming people, and one side has a household registration and the other does not, then it is conceivable what kind of decision the government will make.
Of course, some people may think that the people can choose to call the primary three and the fourth as the second in order not to pay the poll tax as before.
But the problem is that the decision that Emperor Chongzhen just made was aimed at this - those who do not have a household registration book cannot enter social studies!
This is very fatal, especially for the people of the Central Plains Tangkou.
There is an opportunity to read, who doesn't want their baby to be able to read and write? No one will say the words that reading changes fate, but the truth is understood.
And this census action will make the Ming Dynasty's household registration book how many more people, Emperor Chongzhen does not know, but it is conceivable that these extra people in order to be able to study have not been allocated land and have to pay a poll tax.
What to do? Can you rely on it?
In later generations, there is a word called Lao Lai, but in the Ming Dynasty, I really haven't heard of anyone who dares to rely on Emperor Chongzhen's money not to give, unless Emperor Chongzhen suddenly goes crazy and all kinds of tax reductions and exemptions are possible.
In other words, as long as the census is properly handled, it will not be a problem at all to relocate some people like what Zhu Yujian is asking for now.
After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "If I move another 100,000 people to Xinming Island, Uncle Wang may arrange it?" β
Zhu Yujian quietly glanced at Emperor Chongzhen's face, but found that he didn't see anything - this kind of angry emperor is the most fucking cheater!
But judging from Emperor Chongzhen's past performance, Zhu Yujian still gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, there are more people, and the development of gold and aluminum mines can be faster, and these good things can also be shipped back to Daming as soon as possible."
Therefore, don't say that it is 100,000 people, that is, 501,000,000, and the minister must find a way to arrange it properly! β
Emperor Chongzhen shook his head with a smile and said, "Uncle Wang is sincere, I know it.
But immigrating to Xinmingdao is the same thing as immigrating to the real side, and there is no urgency.
At present, my Daming is also recreating the Yellow Book, but this kind of thing has been delayed for a long time, and it is by no means a day's work, and Uncle Wang still needs to wait patiently.
In addition, what I mean is that Uncle Wang can arrange for people to build some houses or something on Xinming Island first, and be ready to accept the people.
After the Yellow Book is completed, I will move 200,000 people to Xinming Island, how about it? β
When Zhu Yujian heard this, he was immediately overjoyed - what was he tossing for? In addition to returning to the hometown and pretending to be forced, isn't it just for the population?
A piece of territory as large as Xinming Island, now all the people are added together, and it is only about 100,000 when it is full.
Just such a small person wants to thoroughly study and understand such a large island? Dream on!
And this time Emperor Chongzhen's generosity was really beyond his expectations - I originally thought it would be good to get 100,000 people over, but I never thought that Emperor Chongzhen would be 200,000 as soon as he opened his mouth!
But Emperor Chongzhen's words were obviously not finished: "In addition, among the 200,000 people, it will not be all my Ming people. β
Zhu Yujian was stunned for a moment.
Not the people of the Ming Dynasty? Do you still want to stuff some brutes in?
That's right, this king knows that it is not so easy for the Ming Dynasty to move the people now, and he also knows that you have expanded the land for thousands of miles, and the people have too many choices, and they are unwilling to go to places like Xinming Island.
However, this is not a reason for you to stuff barbarians on Xinming Island!
How much effort and cost did this king spend to kill all the natives on Xinming Island?
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhu Yujian's expression, he knew that Zhu Yujian was thinking badly, so he immediately smiled and said: "I didn't say that I would arrange some barbarians to go over, if that's the case, wouldn't it be easier to not kill the barbarians of Xinming Island in the first place?" β
Zhu Yujian still looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a confused expressionβwhat do you want to say? Do?
Emperor Chongzhen chuckled and said, "Ryukyu is attached, Korea is attached, Uncle Wang knows, right?" β
Zhu Yujian nodded and said, "Yes, I have heard about it in the days when the minister returned to Beijing." Could it be that Your Majesty wants to relocate the people of Ryukyu and Korea? β
If this is the case, it is not unacceptable - the people of North Korea and Ryukyu have always regarded themselves as Little China, thinking that they are the own sons of the Ming father, and the Chinese dialect is extremely slippery, and there is basically no difference between the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "Not only Korea and Ryukyu, but I also plan to move the people of the Liaodong and Tumut tribes over together. β
