"Ten years later, I'm afraid the boat won't be able to enter Kaifeng!"

When the boat arrived at the Kaifeng wharf, looking at the lively wharf that was carrying the work, Zhu Mingzhong secretly thought to himself, perhaps, they did not know that in a few years, they would be unemployed, after all, once the Yellow River changed from Xingyang to the north and returned to the Song Dynasty, after the new river embankment cut off the Yellow River, without the replenishment of river water, most of the rivers below Xingyang will be abandoned, such as Kaifeng and other places have been flush with the surface of the river, maybe it will become fertile land, and some places will become small lakes.

For the central capital on the north bank of the Yellow River, there is not much impact, but only a change in the name of the river, the Huai River will enter the sea along the old road, there is no river sand alluvium, and Yuzhou Island will not be connected to the mainland. The port of Haizhou is no longer threatened by siltation, and even the silted sand shore on the northern coast of Jiangsu will quickly collapse, slowly restoring the old coastline.

Of course, for Kaifeng, this is a disaster, without the convenience of the Yellow River water transportation, how will the future development of this Henan capital city?

However, this is not something that Zhu Mingzhong needs to consider, after leaving the ship, Zhu Mingzhong pretended to be a merchant, and several guards and others pretended to be entourage. Quietly entered the city.

Micro-service private visits, in later generations, this often only exists in film and television dramas, but now Zhu Mingzhong, who is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, likes micro-service visits very much. As an emperor, you always have to be grounded. Although the current newspaper can keep him from being as closed as the emperors of the past, and can only tell him about the outside world, he prefers to go out on patrol through micro-services and learn about some things in person.

As the city of Kaifeng, it is naturally very lively, but for shopping, he is not interested, after walking around Kaifeng City, Zhu Mingzhong said to Luo Encheng beside him.

"Yufu, the sun has gone down, it's time to eat, is the place to stay tonight ready?"

"Childe, do you think you live in the city or outside the city, there are a few good inns in the city, but if you talk about the environment, the environment of Daliang Academy is better."

"Daliang Academy?"

Zhu Mingzhong was slightly stunned.

"Childe, Daliang Academy was founded by Liu Chang, the deputy envoy of Tianshun five years ago, after completion, even if it is the best academy in Kaifeng City, Chongzhen fifteen years, the thieves surrounded Kaifeng, dug the Yellow River for breaking the city, flooded Kaifeng, the academy was destroyed, after the loyal army recovered Kaifeng, the palace allocated 50,000 taels of special funds, plus the donation of local people in Henan, the academy has been rebuilt, not only the style of study is similar to Qinghe Academy, but the academy is also similar to Qinghe Academy, the scenery inside and outside the academy is excellent, and if you stay, it is better there."

As His Majesty's attendant, Luo Encheng naturally made some articles before coming to Kaifeng.

Zhu Mingzhong said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's spend the night at the academy."

The so-called overnight, in fact, is not to talk about borrowing, because there is an inn open to the outside world in the academy, after a group of people stayed, and the habit of the past, Zhu Mingzhong after eating, he came to the campus of the academy to disperse, different from the old academy, the overall style of the current Daliang Academy is similar to the university of later generations, covering an area of more than 2,000 acres of college, in addition to the school building, naturally indispensable parks, playgrounds, the scenery is quite good, walking in the campus, although it is late, The oil lamps in the street lamps only illuminated the distance of the neighborhood, although the light was dim, but it also kept the academy from completely falling into darkness, and in the dim light, you could always see groups of students there, chatting or discussing current affairs.

"Since the vassal is not guilty, why is it thousands of miles away today?"

The words that came into his ears made Zhu Mingzhong's brows lock, although the division of the clan was a royal family matter, but after listening to this sentence, he still felt extremely harsh. How do they know my painstaking efforts!

"Today the clan is not guilty, but what about ten years from now?"

Zhu Mingzhong, who was originally leaving, couldn't help but stop when he heard the defense of the students over there.

"Don't forget that King Gui is the crown prince of Emperor Xiaokuang, if he is allowed to be in the Central Plains, it will inevitably be bewitched by speculators in the future, if it is instigated by traitors, when the time comes, it will not be as simple as a crime or a crime, so instead of this, it is better to seal the domain thousands of miles away, away from the Central Plains, naturally there is no need to worry about it."

This man is also a little insightful.

"According to what you say, you love the Gui Clan today?"

"Don't forget Emperor Gao's move to Goryeo with Chen Li and Guiyi Hou Mingsheng, if it weren't for Emperor Gao's fear that they would be deceived and tempted by villains, how could they live in Goryeo?"

Ye Shizhi's words made everyone in the pavilion silent for a while, for the descendants of the generals who surrendered to Cheng, they generally have heavy troops, and staying in the Central Plains will threaten the consolidation of the regime, and it is necessary to prevent the generals from having too close contacts with the generals, resulting in the unfavorable phenomenon of rebellion. However, these people cannot be killed, and killing them will cause instability in the people's hearts, and it is more likely to cause other generals to rebel because they are worried about their own results, or the people will not accept the regime and turn their banners into banners. Therefore, the best way is to release these people to the frontier, give them a title with no real power, and live overseas for a long time, so that time can be indifferent to their personal influence on the imperial power. The most prominent of these people was the Emperor Ming Sheng of the Great Xia Kingdom, who was in Chongqing at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and he was crowned king in Goryeo and married the daughter of a Goryeo minister as a family member. Now His Majesty is like this to King Gui, not because of love.

Finally someone knows what I mean!

Zhu Mingzhong nodded slightly, his originally ugly face changed slightly, and even his legs involuntarily walked towards them.

"Furthermore, the reason why I don't want to divide the feudal domains in the country today is completely because I love the people of the world. In order to support the clan, the world spends more than one million ......"

"Isn't it going to cost now? Now it is the imperial court that gives them Lu and Lu rice, and the cost is not much. ”

"That's why we want to seal them overseas!"

Zhu Mingzhong didn't wait for the man to defend himself, so he took the initiative to walk over and say.

"I am the Ming Dynasty feudal feudals are just a formality, as the so-called "feudal but not tin soil, the lords but not the people, food but not governance". In other words, the clan is not allowed to work, and is completely supported by the state. My Ming Dynasty spends no less than 1.5 million stone a year on rice for the support of the clan, which is not only a burden on the imperial court, but also a burden on the people of the world. This kind of burden is naturally not something that the imperial court can afford, and even now, the imperial court gives it to Yulu, which is still a large expense for the imperial court. ”

This is both a fact and a justification, after all, there are not many clans alive now, and the treatment of clans in the Ming Dynasty is also seriously polarized. Above the county king, he lives a life that is rich and rivals the country. As for the county king, compared with the common people, it can only be regarded as unsatisfactory.

As for now, 10,000 taels or 10,000 stones per year seems to be a lot, but only a few people can get this kind of money.

"Don't you need to bear the burden of the clan if you are sealed overseas?"

"Divide the seal without tin soil, this is my emperor's old practice, and now the court wants to seal the king of Gui in Xuannan and give the local land more than 100,000 hectares, so the court naturally does not need to bear its money."

In fact, when King Gui was sealed in Xuannan, Zhu Mingzhong had already made a calculation. His calculation was very simple, that is, to give the East India Company's company property, plantations, paddy fields, and slaves, to King Gui, and accordingly, the imperial court would no longer have to pay for the Gui Domain.

"More than 100,000 fields? Isn't this the same as the separation of tin and soil? ”

"It's just to give some farmland, how can there be a tin soil to divide it?"

"Actually, it's not impossible to divide the tin soil."

When Ye Shizhi caught a glimpse of this person heard him say this, there was still a look of doubt in his eyes. He said with a smile.

"At that time, Emperor Gao divided the princes, and the reason why he set the rule of "dividing the feudal and not tin soil, listing the lords but not the people, and eating Lu but not governing things" was just to avoid the rebellion of the eight kings of the Han Dynasty. But now that King Gui is overseas, thousands of miles away from China, the rule of "dividing the feudal without tin soil, listing the lords but not the people, and eating Lu without governing things" seems to be a little out of line with the needs of today, after all, King Gui is out of town overseas with his own vassals, if the princes are not close to the people, isn't the imperial court sending officials to Xuannan again? With such a great distance across the ocean, don't you have to consult the imperial court on everything? In this way, it is not possible to make the Gui domain belong to the Xuannan matter, which is a good thing for the imperial court and the king of Gui......"

Meddlesome?

Zhu Mingzhong's brows jumped slightly, and then he looked at the young student in front of him, with a slight doubt in his eyes.

"In this way, is this the closure of the country in Xuannan?"

Although the Ming Dynasty also implemented the sub-feudal system, the sub-feudal system of the Ming Dynasty was very different from the sub-feudal system of the pre-Qin era, and the parallel system of the county and state of the Han Dynasty was very different from the sub-feudal system of the Jin Dynasty. The princes of the Ming Dynasty were divided into feuds but not tin soil, the lords were not close to the people, they were not able to govern things, and they were not even able to engage in agriculture and commerce, and they were hereditary. In other words, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty had no real power, so the division of the Ming Dynasty was just a vain name, at most it was a vassal name, but no feudal state. And now what this person said about the king of Xu vassal Linmin governing affairs is tantamount to the sub-feudal system in the pre-Qin period.

"Sealing the country? Why not? ”

Ignoring everyone's surprise, Ye Shizhi asked rhetorically.

"As the so-called whip is out of reach, set up Xuannan Prefecture, although it is to expand the territory, but it is troublesome to govern the place in the future, and it is a rebellion in Jiaozhi if it is not good. Because no one wants to go there as an official, even if someone goes, Emperor Tiangao is far from doing evil, which is naturally an ordinary thing, if it is not so, how could the court withdraw from Jiaozhi back then. Now the Nantianmen, Zhancheng, and Pingnan imperial courts can still choose to send good officials, but if dozens or hundreds of prefectures and counties are established, how many good officials can be sent by the imperial court? ”

Ye Shizhi's rhetorical question made the people around him stunned, but anyone who is an official is naturally unwilling to be sent to a foreign land thousands of miles away, and it is naturally not a virtuous official to go to that kind of place.

"Instead of sending a group of corrupt officials in the past and finally ruining the operation of the court for decades, it is better to give it to the vassal king, at least, they are not corrupt officials who leave in one term, at least they will not harm their own things!"

Don't harm your own things!

Isn't this the common sense of normal people!

Ye Shizhi's words fell on Li Zhiye's ears, but they gave him a flash of inspiration in his mind-at this moment, a thought appeared in his mind.

"Last year, someone once said that the imperial court set up a county in Nanyang to camp troops and displaced people, and spent no less than one million yuan every year, so it is not a long-term solution, if there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, destroy the great cause of the imperial court's colonization, and make decades of achievements wasted, since this is the case......"

Li Zhiye looked at Ye Shizhi and said.

"Why don't you restore the separation?"

Everyone didn't understand what Li Zhiye's so-called "separation" was for a while, but after a while, everyone reacted.

It's all a look of consternation!

In the astonishment of everyone, Ye Shizhi noticed that the boy who came over just now, although he looked surprised, his eyes were completely different from the others-he didn't seem surprised.

"Since ancient times, there has been a practice of the imperial court dividing the princes into national fences in places where the whip is not long, not to mention others, that is, Yunnan, if there is no Muguo Gong for generations, then Yunnan will be incorporated into my Ming Dynasty......"

"Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Ye Shizhi also praised.

"Throughout the ages, except for the Zhou Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, there was no such thing as separation, all because the ministers believed that the division of the feudal was easy to lead to civil strife, resulting in fratricide and hurting the foundation of the country. If it is sealed in a place outside the world, there is no such concern,......"

After complimenting, Ye Shizhi looked at everyone and said. "In the past, my first king Xiong deduced in Jing Mountain, the road was blue and reckless, and he trekked through the mountains and forests to do things for the Son of Heaven, but the peach arc and thorns were the things for the king."

This is the "Historical Records. Chu Shijia" The record of the Chu State, and then said.

"If there was no King of Zhou to seal Chu Xiong in Jiangnan, how could there be the prosperity of Huguang Jiangnan today?"

"Mingda is right."

Li Zhiye will never let others steal his limelight.

"If when Chengzu went to the West, he could divide the vassal kings in the South Seas, and when the Jiashen sky changed, the feudal lords would enter the Central Plains and help me to ...... the Ming Emperor's family."

"What you're thinking is just a fantasy!"

Wu Conglong didn't expect that as soon as his words fell, someone over there poured the first basin of cold water on his head, and it was no one else who poured this basin of cold water, it was Zhu Mingzhong, from the time they talked about the so-called "separation", he knew what they would say, so he immediately retorted.

"This decision is not feasible, what is the crime of the clan and flows thousands of miles, just a Gui King, you still have some discussions, if I send the Ming Sect to the miasma of Nanyang, I am afraid that the name of the harsh clan will be confirmed, so, who dares to say anything about the sinful king?"
