Hearing that King Ping had arrived in Beijing, Zhu Xu said 'um', looked at Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong, and said: "After this time, it is both a challenge and an opportunity for the 'New Deal' and 'Military Reform', and the Cabinet and the Generalissimo's Office must take responsibility, show courage and courage, don't have to stare at everything, urge, and do things for you......."

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong listened to Zhu Xu's spitting, their faces were very calm, and they listened respectfully.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a situation where monarchs and ministers are like fish and water, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di will not say, in the near future, Wanli and the government and the opposition have confronted each other, and the apocalypse has entrusted the government to the eunuch party.

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others in Daming, the conduct and ability are the best, and the ability to resist pressure is extremely strong, Zhu Xu is not worried, and simply said a few words, and said: "The candidates of the National Assembly and the Ministry of Strategy, you can also recommend, don't resist, let alone ignore, put a balanced mentality, and take ......a long-term view."

Zhu Xu said, a round figure appeared outside the door of Dongnuan Pavilion, an innocent face, sweating profusely, wiping sweat while looking inside.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong also saw it, and their expressions were thoughtful.

The geographical location of North Annan is extraordinary, which is more and more important to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, it also inherits Zhu Xu's ambitions, and the cabinet needs to plan carefully.

Sun Chengzong suddenly interjected when Zhu Xu's voice fell, and said, "Your Majesty, Bei Annan, do you want to make special arrangements?" ”

Zhu Xu beckoned King Ping to come in, and said, "No need, Yun. The armies of the south and other places are to be reduced, and the cavalry is not to remain in the clouds. The army of South and North Annan is not retained, as long as there is a governor's palace, it is mainly used to maintain order, reclaim, and accept the victims, as for Dolgon and South Annan, don't meddle, let them toss, let's look at it......"

Sun Chengzong has already understood that Zhu Xu wants Dolgon to stir up peace in the Southeast Peninsula and the strategy that Da Ming will receive in the future, but whether it is Huang Taiji or Dolgon, they are both thoughtful and ambitious people, if they are not prepared enough and are bitten back, the consequences will be quite serious.

Zhu Xu knew Sun Chengzong's worries, stood up, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, Dolgon will not dare to mess around, not to mention, Dolgon I am still of great use, and I won't waste it so much." Whether it is Dolgon's self-respecting army, or my appeasement, there is no such thing. Go ahead, I'll have a chat with Uncle Huang. ”

Sun Chengzong saw that Zhu Xu was so confident, so he didn't say much. Annan is different from Liaodong, the threat to the Ming Dynasty is too small, and it will be easy to deal with, without social worries.

"The minister retired." Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong raised their hands.

Zhu Xu nodded, and without waiting for the two of them to go far, he looked at King Ping who came in and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, are you fat again?" ”

King Ping's face was silly, as if he didn't care about anything, looking at Zhu Xu is happy smile, but he was already fat, and now he is even fatter, and his clothes can't cover his stomach.

"See the emperor." King Ping looked happy, smiled and raised his hand to worship.

"Let's go take a cold shower and get comfortable." Zhu Xu said and pulled King Ping out.

This year's summer is so hot that people who are hot feel uncomfortable, and even their breathing seems to be hot and uncomfortable.

King Ping didn't say much, followed Zhu Xu to the 'bathroom' behind the Qianqing Palace, two round wooden barrels had been prepared, Zhu Xu quickly undressed, jumped into the water in his big pants, the ice water suddenly submerged half of his body, Zhu Xu was excited, and it took a long time before he let out a long breath.

King Ping looked at Zhu Xu, paused for a while, then looked at the big wooden bucket on the side, hurriedly undressed, and carefully entered the ice bucket with the support of the maid.

There were small chairs in the bucket, and both of them sat down slowly, then let out a long breath. One hot and one cold, making the two of them tremble.

"How is Uncle Huang, are you comfortable?" After a while, Zhu Xu turned his head to look at King Ping and said with a smile.

King Ping leaned over and said with a smile, "Comfortable, more comfortable than a cold shower, it's the first time for the minister to wash like this." ”

Zhu Xu got used to it, leaned on the edge of the barrel, and said, "I've only done it twice...... Don't worry about the family, a while ago, the queen went out of the palace to save her relatives, and she also went to the palace, the royal aunt, several royal brothers and brothers are good, peace and joy......"

King Ping was not worried about this at all, and said with a smile: "With the emperor here, the minister is not worried." ”

Zhu Xu was covered in ice water, the heat was much less, he waited for a while, and said, "I know that Uncle Huang is in a hurry to go back, so I will tell me what I saw and heard along the way." ”

King Ping kept leaning over, and immediately said, "Yes." The first thing he felt was that the weather was too hot, the south was hotter than the capital, even if he hid in the woods, it was too hot, and there were too many beggars in various places, some places were rich in flowing oil, and some places were starving to death from time to time. Some of the local officials, especially at the county level, are powerless and helpless, and nothing can grow in the ground, and no matter how much the imperial court reduces taxes, it is useless. And then there's ...... They were indifferent at all, eating and drinking every day, and they didn't take the court and Baixin to heart at all, and the minister asked, it is said that as long as these people stay for two years, they can be transferred to other places, as long as they don't make mistakes, the life or death here has nothing to do with them in the future......"

Zhu Xu listened silently and did not interject.

King Ping's journey can be regarded as a clear and secret visit, and what he sees is at the bottom, which is clear at a glance and cannot be covered up.

Zhu Xu also knows this situation, but it cannot be fundamentally solved in a short period of time, and only when the 'New Deal' is promoted below, various policies are implemented, and local control is increased, can this 'superfluous situation' continue.

King Ping saw that Zhu Xu didn't speak, and his voice was a little calm, "The drought in the south is more serious than imagined. Nan, Fu. Jian, Jiang. West, lake, mountain. In the east, and even in the south, there has been a major drought, and in other places, you can imagine......"

"In some places, the imperial court is exempt from taxes, but not in the local areas, and the landlords' rents are still increasing year by year, and the imperial decrees have not been implemented, and some civil unrest have come from this......

"The bandits in various places are also inexhaustible, the people are not happy, the ministers have seen too much, it is a bit too much to say that people cannibalize each other, but there are still too many children and daughters, and the ministers are in a bad mood along the way, I don't want to say this to the emperor immediately, but I want to come to the emperor and definitely want to know, so the minister said it first......"

Although King Ping said it simply, it was the most realistic and cruel thing.

The current Daming, although it seems stable on the whole, is full of dangers, everywhere is not peaceful, if it is not scattered in various places, like fireflies, not conspicuous, but if it is connected on the map, it will definitely shock the jaws of countless people!

Zhu Xu soaked in the water, laughed, his mind turned, and said, "Tell me about the situation in North Annan." ”

King Ping glanced at Zhu Xu and said: "The situation in North Annan is much better than I expected before, the land is not the wasteland of Liaodong, it has been reclaimed and planted, as long as it is planned a little, it can be sown, but many people are not used to the climate there, and there are more miasma, it is easy to die, and you have to slowly find a way...... Immigration is slow because of this, but after this year, it should be much easier, and there is no problem in accepting one or two million people a year, as long as the imperial court has enough money and food......"

In the past, it took two or three years for the immigrants to be self-sufficient, and during this time, a considerable part of them needed to be supported by the imperial court.

"Lord Wen is going to set fire to the forest, and the minister means to cut it down slowly, after all, firewood is worth some silver......

"Lord Wen is still very capable, treats Bei Annan equally, basically there is no trouble, and it is very ......peaceful."

"There is basically no threat to North Annan, separated from Nanzhang and other mountains, very similar to Liaodong, the only thing wrong is South Annan, Lord Wen is very worried about South Annan, saying that Dolgon is not my race, and his heart will be different......"

"The minister is also worried about this, but Dolgon does things in a measured way, and he shares a lot of worries for us, and he has half of the credit for the stability of North Annan......"

"Nan Annan also sends 300,000 stone grain and 10,000 silver to his ministers every year, and don't ...... any benefits."

Zhu Xu could hear that King Ping and Wen Tiren were still very worried about Dolgon, full of vigilance, bowed slightly, and motioned for King Ping to continue.

King Ping is a wise and foolish person, he has great wisdom, it does not mean how strong his ability is, and the things he says are very messy.

It's no wonder that he, the prince of Fengyue in half his life, suddenly asked him to go through secular affairs, which is indeed a little difficult.

Zhu Xu slowly analyzed his words and nodded from time to time.

The situation in North Annan is better than he expected, this year is the first time to immigrate, and it cannot accept many people, but with this year's foundation, it will not be a problem to accept four or five million people in the next three years. At that time, the pressure on Shaanxi and other places will be greatly reduced, and after a few years, Liaodong will be almost digested, and other places can continue to settle, which can not only enrich the desolate places on the border and consolidate the territory, but also alleviate the internal disaster situation, and survive the Xiaoice River with minimal losses.

"Well, then, we can all save a little."

Zhu Xu thought about it and said with a smile.

Now that everything is on the right track, as long as the imperial court continues to do it step by step, whether it is the 'New Deal', the 'Military Reform' or the disaster, it is easy, and there is no need to work as hard and worry as before.
