"Good tea, good tea."

Zhu Shugui, who was in the study, took a deep breath and sniffed the fragrance of tea in the cup. The fragrance of tea is refreshing, and together with the strong fragrance of osmanthus wafting in from the window, people can't help but indulge in it.

"This tea is a royal tribute, that is, today's grace, I can taste such a good tea by ordinary people."

While cleaning up the chessboard, Zhang Guodong said with a smile.

"I'm generous."

Zhu Shugui took a sip of tea, and then said.

"This is also the case today, but also to save the royal money, in the old days, every time to pay tribute to the royal family, the court spent a lot. Today, His Majesty has allowed merchants to authenticate it in the name of "tribute" and to have it available exclusively to the royal family, not only at no cost to the state treasury, but also to the merchants. Don't be tired, so you can say that you take what you need. ”

"It's not just about taking what you need, the royal tribute is not something that anyone wants to pay tribute to, it needs to be applied, registered, certified, and there is a certification fee ranging from one hundred taels or even one thousand taels to the inner government every year......

Zhang Guodong had a smile on his face, but there was no irony, after all, in the eyes of many scholars, the emperor was also doing this to reduce the burden of the people.

In the old days, the tributes of all dynasties were all local filial piety, and the local government collected local specialties and then paid tribute to the royal family. However, in order to ensure the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the royal family, the Inner Chamberlain would often select the best merchants and then purchase goods from them. Now, however, the Inner Chamberlain has become a certified yamen, specializing in certifying tribute qualifications. The merchant is officially granted the Royal Warrant Sign.

The commercial competition in the market was extremely fierce, and in order to gain the support of the royal family, merchants were naturally willing to let their goods receive the title of tribute and the royal warrant of appointment. Merchants who receive a royal commendation are officially granted a royal warrant, and it is expressly stated that the royal warrant cannot be transferred to another merchant on their own.

The Royal Tribute Certification stands for excellence and is the highest honor. Suppliers who apply will need to provide the supplies to a member of the royal family for at least five years before they can be considered for certification, and up to a maximum of seven years. Members of the royal family must also personally use the supplier's products or merchandise for up to five years to confirm that there are no problems with the quality before they can be considered for certification.

But even if it is like a guide, it still makes the world's merchants flock to it, who does not want their goods to be hung with the title of "tribute", and then elevate their status. Even if it is a tribute, then naturally the merchants voluntarily pay the tribute, and the royal family does not need to pay it, so that the royal expenses are reduced.

There were mixed opinions on this, but the officials and gentry had to admit that they also benefited from it - many high-quality tributes had entered the homes of ordinary people, and they only had to pay a little money to enjoy the royal treatment.

It must be said that this is a good business that everyone in the world benefits from.

"A while ago, a cloth merchant came to me, saying that he would provide a thousand pieces of cloth to the palace every year, and then let me recommend his cloth to the opportunity to obtain certification.

Zhu Shugui then laughed at himself,

"I never thought that the children of the clan such as me would end up making profits from this."

"A gentleman is not ashamed to speak for profit, this matter is a good thing that is convenient for everyone in the world, and the king does not need to mind."

Looking at King Ning Jing's humble study, this may be the only care he received in the academy as the king of the county - giving him a separate dormitory. Although the study house is simple, but under the careful decoration of the owner, it is also quite exquisite, and now only Zhu Shugui and Zhang Guodong are left in the house, there is a chessboard on the window, and a pot of tea is boiling on the tea stove on the side.

"How could I not have known this truth, and besides, I didn't know that Your Majesty is like this, which is also to reduce the burden of the people, and also to get one more entry for the children of my clan."

Zhu Shugui glanced left and right.

"But in the end, I still had to leave, in fact, for me, I am already satisfied to be able to have these two shelters, reading books in the library during the day, discussing knowledge with others, and at night in this place with a clean environment, this is the life I want."

With an indifferent smile, Zhu Shugui laughed at himself.

"Everyone else thinks that those who are members of the clan are willing to divide the feuds and be the kings of the same place, but who knows that what this king wants is just quiet."

"The king has his own thoughts, but the court also has laws, and besides, Your Majesty is also gracious to the clan."

Zhang Guodong picked up the teapot and made another pot of tea, and then continued.

"Originally, I only thought that I would only be crowned the prince, but I never thought that after the regulations were discussed, not only the prince would have a feudal country, but the county king would also have a feudal country, and even the general of the town country would have a place to guard."

"yes. The feudal country inherits the Zhou system for thousands of miles and is called Wangji, and the outer 500 miles are called the county service, and the outer 200 miles are called the town country. Also"

Zhu Shugui stroked his long beard, and then sighed.

"Although I am the king of the county, I also know a little bit of self-knowledge, although the five hundred miles of county clothes are good, but ...... Hey, it's not what I want. ”

Facing Zhu Shugui's sad words, Zhang Guodong spoke.

"The king, my Ming Dynasty since the high emperor chased the Mengyuan in Mobei, the clan was supported by the world, when the Qing captives entered the Kou, often had nothing to achieve, can only follow the waves of ups and downs, today Your Majesty has a special purpose, to the clan to suppress the barbarian Fuyi, so that it belongs to China, the king should thank His Majesty Hongen, take the initiative to go to the border, to serve Your Majesty, and how can you because of personal wishes, and do not want to go?"

Facing Zhang Guodong's words, Zhu Shugui's face immediately became embarrassed. But before he could explain, Zhang Guodong changed the conversation again.

"Actually, those who are scruples about the king can also understand a thing or two below, and what the king is afraid about must be because he is worried that after this separation, he will cause trouble for his descendants in the future!"

Zhang Guodong's words made Zhu Shugui's eyes droop, although he didn't speak, but this was also his concern. Born in the clan, he doesn't know, what is the way of survival of the clan, for more than two hundred years, the clan has long been tamed by the emperor, and now he throws them all out and lets them go to the suppression of the barbarians and the people, although after more than ten years of displacement, he also understands the military affairs, but he must take into account the suppression of the barbarians and the people.

What's after the Suppression of the Barbarians?

It belongs to Huaxia!

This means that in the future, the court must have a plan in the royal land! And the price of such a scheme is often the lives of future generations.

"Actually, the king doesn't need to think about it so much, the king has something to think about, and why don't Your Majesty and the ministers in the court have anything to think about?"

Zhang Guodong looked at Zhu Shugui and continued.

"This so-called Zhou system" is called Wangji for thousands of miles, and it is called the county service for 500 miles, and it is called the town country for 200 miles outside. "Actually, it is what Your Majesty and the ministers of the court think, thousands of miles of Wangji, five hundred miles of county clothes, if it is in the Central Plains, it is naturally not a province and a government, and there are no less than millions of people, but now the clan is going to raze the land to suppress the barbarians and appease the people, even if there are millions of barbarians in the local area, the kings will naturally be tied to the barbarians, and if it is not the work of hundreds of years, how can they suppress the barbarians and make them belong to China?"

Seeing that Zhu Shugui wanted to speak again, Zhang Guodong asked rhetorically.

"How could Emperor Gao have thought of it three hundred years later? Today, with the grace of His Majesty, the king can get a county of 500 miles, and the king only needs to overcome thorns and thorns, open up the mountains and forests, and suppress the barbarians, as for what will happen in three hundred years, how can he think about it so much? ”

Three hundred years later......

Zhu Shugui still didn't speak, just sat there silently, occasionally picking up a teacup and drinking tea, and only after a long time did he speak.

"Actually, what I think about is nothing more than to be the king of Anle County!"

In the past three years, he has become accustomed to using "I" instead of "Lonely", a habit that stems from his original idea of only wanting to be happy and not listening to anything else. At most, it is to think about Sun for a while.

But now, His Majesty's decree has made him have to face reality. He had to go out of the town with the county.

Suppress the barbarians and soothe the people!

For the king of a country!

Although it is only a county of 500 miles, but in the county, he is like an emperor, and he is like an emperor, and he is a prisoner in the feudal prison can be compared, as for now, peace is peace, but that kind of peace is nothing more than idleness.

For Zhu Shugui, who has experienced the turmoil in the world after Chongzhen, he also has the dream of being able to contribute to the country and the people one day, but the identity of the clan makes him think about it at most, and even if he thinks about it, he doesn't dare to show it.

But now, when the opportunity to be the king of a country was in front of him, he seemed a little frightened, even a little afraid.

Suppress the barbarians and soothe the people!

This is something that needs to be used with troops, and it is necessary to lead troops to fight.

His Majesty did not let them go to Yidi to be the king of Anle, but to go there to return the barbarians to Xia, how to return to Xia, naturally to destroy their temples, destroy their literature, destroy their history, change their customs, and change their language, so that it is Huaxia.

And this has to be raised, all have to crusade, and all have to be achieved by killing.

"But now, Your Majesty has split the country with our clan, so great, how can Lone not know it, but Lone is afraid that he will not be able to handle this matter well, and he will not be able to suppress the barbarism. Shame on the clan, what face does it have to face Your Majesty? Facing the ancestors? ”

Rip the Ground Split!

This is the grace that Emperor Gao did not have in the princes back then, for such a great kindness, Zhu Shugui is naturally grateful, but in addition to gratitude, there is no fear. There is no uneasiness. It's good to succeed, but what if it fails?

"The King's ......"

Seeing the king's sigh and knowing that he had faced the reality, Zhang Guodong continued to persuade.

"Now, the king doesn't need to think about it so much, the king only needs to wait for the will of the court, as for how to suppress the barbarians and appease the country after he enters the country one day, just like the three hundred years later, but it's just a matter of worrying about the sky."
