In the seventeenth year of Yongle, the entire royal family and the close noble family were more impetuous.

Nanzhou, a big piece of fat, has been found in several gold mines, all of which have made the entire class crazy.

Although the Ming people still pay attention to some self-restraint, and they are not so crazy on the surface, but in fact, they have made a lot of preparations for this.

Zhu Di naturally knew these things clearly, so when he entered the Wuying Palace, he first said: "Today is the New Year, I gather with all my relatives and relatives, and I will not talk about official business today." ”

He is an emperor and does not talk about official business, who dares to talk to him about visiting the kiln and talking about the wind and snow...... No kidding.

The meal was not shocked, but Zhu Zhanji's body was burned by the sights of countless nobles.

Before Yongle went out in the fifteenth year, many nobles and clans still regarded overseas as a barbarian land, and they would not go to death.

But now that I know that it is not very dangerous over there, there are large tracts of uncultivated land and gold mines, and now most people want to go there.

Even in the middle of nowhere, as long as there are gold mines and land for grazing, it will slowly and always develop.

It's always much stronger than the northwest, the northwest is not only deserted, but also some tribes of the Mengyuan people are doing evil, and they are going to fight again!

Even Zhu Zhanyong, a small money fan, is begging the Zhang family to go to Nanzhou.

The fleet was hit by the flu in Perth, which resulted in more than a month there. It was also during that time that Zhu Zhanyong really put his interest in Nanzhou after holding back on the boat for too long.

The vast expanse of uncultivated farmland, full of small rivers and gold mines, made him think about his future and his heart fluttered.

To be a nominal prince in Daming, where is it good to go to Nanzhou to be a prince with real power covering an area of thousands of miles.

As Zhu Zhanji's younger brother, he also got the definite news from Zhu Zhanji. I know that there are not only many gold mines in Perth, but the gold mine found is one of the largest.

Not to mention a gold mine, if Zhu Zhanyong is willing to go to Nanzhou and Perth, he can give him a million square kilometers near Perth in the future.

This is not only to take care of his own brother, but also to set a benchmark and example.

Taisun's own brothers have all gone to the most remote corners of Nanzhou, what else do you others have to pick and choose?

Of course, thousands of miles of fertile land and dozens of gold mines there would have been deliberately overlooked.

Although the land there was canonized to him, and the gold mines were rewarded to him, it did not mean that he would be a real king there.

Because the Ming Dynasty canonized the prince, the prince only has the right to collect taxes, except for the fields belonging to the palace, other fields must be taxed. Even the gold mine, as a prince, can only get 30% at most, which is equivalent to a management fee.

Most of the other money had to be handed over to the imperial court, and there were also fees for the miners' salaries and the nobles' commissions.

Because the imperial court not only had to settle there, but also garrisoned troops, and also built palaces for the vassal kings, each of which cost a lot of money.

However, now that the finances of the Ming Dynasty are relatively stable, Zhu Zhanji has brought back 20 million taels of silver, and he has enough funds to operate this matter.

The feudal domain must be divided into several levels.

First of all, the clan is crowned king, the clan cannot be a single person, and there are also those children of the noble family who have no right to inherit, as long as they go over, they can also be knighted.

Although there is no precedent for feudal domains outside the Ming Dynasty, the basic ruling structure must be complete.

Otherwise, Daming spent countless manpower and material resources, but in the end, it was impossible to be independent and not want to pay taxes.

Under the idea of the great unification of Eastern civilizations, it is impossible to have a completely independent feudal domain like the West.

This is the benefit of Confucianism, so although Confucianism in later generations is corrupt and degenerate, it is still desirable now.

Zhu Zhanyong's ideas are quite a few in the clan, but Zhu Zhanyong's ideas are impossible to be allowed in front of the Zhang family.

Not to mention anything else, he is not yet an adult, and he is not married, so he wants to go overseas alone, and even Zhu Zhanji will not agree.

At the very least, it is necessary to wait until Zhu Di dies, Zhu Gaochi ascends the throne, and he gets married, so that he can be knighted and feuded.

But he can't, there are many other qualified clans and nobles, how to distribute the benefits here, even Zhu Di has a headache.

Because all development is only the beginning, it is more important to bring other people to develop agriculture to the end, only when agriculture is gradually developed, can more people be fed.

If you just pay attention to the income from the gold mine and return to Daming with the idea of making a fortune, such a person can't have high hopes.

There will always be a day when the gold mine will be dug up, and it is a long-term solution to turn Nanzhou into an inseparable territory of the Ming Dynasty.

During the banquet, there was an endless stream of toasters who came to toast Zhu Zhanji, and everyone knew that his opinion would be very important on how to divide Nanzhou.

This scene, Zhu Gaochi's eyes are hot.

And Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, only lost was left in his eyes at this moment.

In the fourteenth year of Yongle, he was cut by Zhu Di and distributed with Lego. Originally, Lego did not have the Han Palace, and their family could still live in the Qingzhou Han Palace, but Jin Rong, the commander of the Shandong capital, was transferred to Liangzhou in the northwest, and the new Shandong commander Cao Meng took back the Han Wangfu with the emperor's decree.

The family lived in Lego County for more than a year before they moved to the Xinhan Palace, which was more than half smaller than the original regulations.

Zhu Gaoxu is now a commoner, and the Xinhan palace is actually a reward for his eldest son, Zhu Zhanyan, who has been completely marginalized within the entire clan.

Although he is unwilling, but now Taisun Zhu Zhanji is powerful, and both the people and the army regard Taisun as orthodox.

After Jin Rong, who supported him, was transferred, now he can't do it if he wants to come out of Le'an. If it weren't for Zhu Zhanji's light this time, he would have been given the gift to enter Beijing, and he would have been placed under house arrest in Le'an.

When I came to Yingtianfu, I saw that today's Yingtianfu has become a huge factory. Artillery guns, muskets were mass-produced, and all of this was in the hands of his nephew.

He had resigned himself to his fate.

When he came to Beijing this time, he thought that his father and the emperor could take care of the relationship between father and son, forgive him, and let him take his sons to stay away from the Ming Dynasty and go out to be a vassal king.

Not only did he think so, but Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, also thought so, as long as there was a little pursuit, he was unwilling to be confined in the palace like a pig to have children.

However, because Zhu Di has not yet paid attention to it, no one has been allowed to believe it now.

Zhu Di sat for a while and left first, got the document given by Zhu Zhanji before the meal, and listened to Zhu Zhanji say so many reform ideas, Zhu Di still had this matter in his heart.

is old, although the Zhu family clan and nobles gather together today, there are too many people, and the noise hurts his brain.

As soon as he left, Zhu Zhanji's side was much more lively, and he followed Zhu Zhanji on a trip to the Western clans, and everyone regarded Zhu Zhanji as their hope.

Even Zhu Gaoxu put down the shelf and gave Zhu Zhanji a glass of wine, but the words of the request were never spoken, and Zhu Zhanyan said his thoughts instead of him.

As the victor, Zhu Zhanji was very generous at this time, and directly agreed: "My nephew took the clan to the sea, the purpose is to expand the territory overseas, and then let the descendants of the Zhu family spread all over the world and spread their prestige all over the world."

In addition to Nanzhou, Xizhou, and Dongzhou, they will also send people over in recent years. No matter what, anyone has a large fiefdom, no less than my Ming state and one capital. ”

Having said that, Zhu Gaochi knows very well that where the fief is sealed is the most important thing. No matter how big the territory is, if the land is barren and there are no minerals, it is still difficult to survive.

So he didn't care about face at this time, and said calmly: "In the past few days, I have also inquired about some overseas customs. Now Nanzhou is sparsely populated, there are no disputes, and all the clans and nobles want to go to Nanzhou.

However, Xizhou is the territory of Kunlunnu, where there are large plains in the east, and there is also a lot of land suitable for cultivation in the south, and it is said that there are gold mines. Therefore...... Please also ask Zhanji to say a lot of kind words in front of his father. ”

Zhu Zhanji's heart moved, this Zhu Gaoxu's vision is good. Although Nanzhou is large and there are no disputes, except for a little more mines, the fertile land is mainly in the south. And in those places in the south, the major clans are all eyeing each other.

The western continent, that is, the northern part of Africa, is the territory of the Arabs, mostly desert. Miasma is rampant in the central part, but it is rich in products and there are many blacks.

The sparsely populated southern region, which is now not only fertile but also has a lot of gold mines, is actually more promising for development there than in most parts of southern continent.

Because Nanzhou is lonely overseas, no one will go there. However, Xizhou will become an important node of maritime trade for hundreds of years to come.

Zhu Zhanji didn't dare to accept his full salute, so he returned the salute, and he didn't make a fool of himself, and said directly after straightening his head: "The southern part of Nanzhou is about as big as my Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty and all the way to Nanyue, and in such a large area, at least a dozen princes must be sealed." However, the further south you go, the smaller the territory, and at the border with Kunlunnu, the territory will be surprisingly large. The second uncle can think carefully about whether to choose a safer place or a larger north. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said categorically: "Don't think about it, I choose the north." I have been fighting horses for half my life, and I want to go to Xizhou just to fight. Laying a piece of the world for my Zhu family there is not only living up to this life. ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Well, when the dust settles, I will definitely live up to the trust of the second uncle." However, it may be two years before the matter is settled. ”

Everyone wondered: "Now that the court is in the dust, why is it delayed?" ”

Zhu Zhanji laughed and said: "Don't forget that the emperor's grandfather has always been obsessed with the Western Expedition, but he doesn't want to divide the troops in the West Continent because of the development of Nanzhou." ”

Whether it is to Nanzhou or Xizhou, development needs manpower.

The Ming Dynasty was built at the beginning, and now the land is abundant, except for Lingnan, Fujian has many mountains and little land, and the people are unwilling to leave their hometowns.

Today, the largest immigrant group in the Ming Dynasty is not the common people, but the military households. Only these military households are not afraid to migrate overseas and provide manpower for development.

Therefore, Zhu Di does not go west, does not defeat Timur, and the war does not end, and immigration is probably still a dream.

When Zhu Zhanji said this, everyone also understood. But today, with Zhu Zhanji's down-to-earth words, everyone in the feudal domain has a share, and they are also down-to-earth.

Even if they wait for another two years, no one will be unwilling, and those nobles even want to go out with Zhu Di to earn some military merits, and turn around to seal a larger territory.

Junji ......

Zhu Zhanji looked back, saluted and shouted, "There is Uncle Stew." I've been too busy these days, and I want to talk to you later. ”

Zhu You's stew has decreased a lot, and the whole person seems to be in the wind. He showed a wry smile and said, "You have pushed me to the forefront!" ”

A group of clans burst into laughter, but one by one there was a look of envy on their faces.

This is the only one in the clan after Zhu Di abolished Zhu's appointment as the sect order, and he is not an idle position, but a five-rank lang in the Ministry of Rites.

Its responsibilities are twofold, one is to be in charge of the compilation of opera in the world, rehearsal operas, collection of style, and supervision of the Department of Education. This responsibility is nothing, and as the prince of Zhou, it is still a bit overkill.

However, supervising the Department of Education is also a position that is easy to pull relationships and has a lot of oil and water. Because those sinners who want to be expelled from the country after that have to go through him.

Moreover, he is in charge of the world's publications and publishes, which is amazing, because it is equivalent to controlling the channels for readers in the world to publish books and become famous.

He said which book can be published before it can be published, but he doesn't nod, even if the "Yan Sheng Gong" Mansion wants to publish a book, it can't work.

Zhu Zhanji lit a fire and left, and Zhu Youwei sat in this position trembling, for fear that if he didn't do well there, he would implicate the Zhou Wangfu.

But it is precisely because he is cautious and does not need to look at other people's faces, and is only responsible to the royal family, so he has made some achievements.

Zhu Di originally just looked at Zhu Zhanji's face and arranged for Zhu Youwei to be responsible for these two tasks. But when he had someone of his own in this position, he gradually found the benefits.

First of all, there are many fewer dramas in the Ming Dynasty that are full of glamour sounds, and many of them promote heroism and chivalry, and there are many more operas for the country and the people, which play a great role in guiding the folk atmosphere.

What's more, now the Ming Dynasty has established publishing regulations that strictly prohibit piracy.

In this way, not only do you not have to spend your own money to publish books, but you can also make money when the sales are good, so that those unscrupulous booksellers will not collect money from authors and readers at the same time.

Moreover, the imperial court directly controlled the publishing standards in various places, and those books and operas that encouraged rebellion or even distorted right and wrong could no longer be staged and published.

Although Zhu Di has not yet understood the deep importance of public opinion propaganda, he has seen the benefits of standardizing publishing and standardizing the performing arts market.

Therefore, Zhu Youstew is now quite valued by Zhu Di, and asked the internal supervision of the printing workshop to publish four agricultural books of King Zhou's "Baosheng Yulu", "Pocket Fang", "Puji Fang" and "Materia Medica", each of which was printed in 10,000 copies, a total of 40,000 copies.

These four books were distributed by the imperial court to the county government in various places, and the county schools were required to teach students to be able to identify weeds, food, and various life-saving herbs.

This can make King Zhou famous, and everyone in the world knows it. In addition, there was a manuscript fee of 600 taels of silver, and Zhu Di also rewarded another 3,000 taels.

can leave a name for eternity, and there can also be a "manuscript fee", everyone in the clan is envious.

Of course, sitting in this position will naturally face countless accusations and criticisms, and be hated by countless people.

It can be said that if it weren't for Zhu Youstew's clan identity, he would have been killed by those scholars.

Although Zhu Zhanji did not know much, he also knew that in the past two years, there have been several cases in which many people have been executed, all of which were due to disobedience to the imperial court's publishing regulations and the publication of books with rebellious tendencies.

The famous "Yansheng Gongfu", thinking that it was protected by scholars from all over the world, published a book of "Mengyuan Tracing the Truth" to classify Mengyuan's rule as orthodox.

This matter was reported to Zhu Di by Zhu Youzhuo, and Zhu Di directly sent people to surround the Confucian Mansion, cut Duke Yansheng, let them change the head of the family, and take back all the books that had been sold.

This incident caused a lot of uproar, and when Zhu Zhanji returned to Kezhi from the West, he received a report in this regard.

In this regard, Zhu Zhanji only felt very happy.

Thinking of what they did at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji felt disgusted. As the saying goes, the father of the tiger is the son of the dog, but this family is not as good as the generation.

If Confucius had seen all this in heaven, he didn't know how he would feel.

There are also those who have been asked to revise the content because the meaning is unknown, including "Journey to the West Commentary".

Before coming to this era, Zhu Zhanji always believed that Journey to the West was written by Wu Chengen, but he was at most a compiler, not the original author.

"Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" already exist in this era, and the authors are Shi Nai'an and Luo Guanzhong. When Zhu Zhanji was born, they had already died.

Before Zhu Zhanji was born, there was already "Journey to the West Commentary", but the current Journey to the West is very different from later generations.

The current Journey to the West is less than 200,000 words, originally an opera, but because of its great popularity, a vernacular version was published, specifically for those storytellers to tell the common people.

And the storyline in this is also very simple, only about one-third of the later generations, there are Monkey King apprentices, there are havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and there are also going to the West to learn scriptures, but it is not as detailed as the later generations.

Because it is an opera adaptation, the content in the front is almost the same, but the content in the back is very different.

In this, there is a difference between whether Sun Wukong is a Buddhist disciple or a Taoist disciple.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the power of the temple was huge, more than the land of the Mengyuan rulers, and they were also the largest landlords and wealthy people in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, under their arrangement, Sun Wukong, who originally worshiped the Taoist Bodhi Patriarch as his teacher, was driven out of the school and finally entered Buddhism.

This era is also the era of the integration of the three religions, the common people don't care which religion Sun Wukong belongs to, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are all three religions in one, is it still so clear?

But Zhu Zhanji knows very well how much influence this kind of influence is, this book is still not on the table today, and after the compilation of Wu Chengen in later generations, it has become one of the four great masterpieces of ancient times.

This subtle influence of hundreds of years directly led everyone to accept the influence of this culture and recognize the orthodox status of Buddhism.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji directly assigned a task to Zhu Youstew, asking to collect all versions of Journey to the West, and then compile them in a unified manner, so that there is only one kind of plot in the future, and it is still respected by Taoism.

The later version of "Journey to the West", before the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Sun Wukong was unstoppable, and after the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, a little monster could make him unable to eat and walk around, the key is because of the adaptation of the monks.

Zhu Zhanji has seen the Taoist identity of Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong is a Taoist identity, violated the laws of the heavenly court, and was pressed on Wuzhi Mountain.

The Jade Emperor is not a Taoist identity, although he does not dare to say that he is the emperor, but almost everyone knows it.

Today's era is not the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and before Zhu Youstew took office, he was not convicted by words, and there was no literary prison.

Today's Ming Dynasty has laws in this regard, which is also influenced by Zhu Zhanji, and the public opinion environment is relatively relaxed, which cannot be compared with the Manchu Dynasty's literary prison.

Sun Wukong violated the law of heaven and was pressed by the Bodhi Patriarch at the foot of the Five Fingers Mountain, not the Buddha at all.

Later, the Emperor of Heaven realized that there were too many sects in the world, and he wanted Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism to be integrated and easy to manage, so he released Sun Wukong to make meritorious contributions.

Sun Wukong is Taoism, Zhu Bajie is also Taoism, and Zhu Bajie's nine-tooth nail rake is all built by Taishang Laojun.

He, like Sun Wukong, belongs to the meritorious service.

The Journey to the West in this era was greatly influenced by the integration of the three religions in reality, and the content was basically the cooperation between Buddhism and Taoism.

So Tang Seng and Monk Sha made a mistake, and it was the Taoist gods who came out to comfort Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie. If it is Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong makes a mistake, it is the god of Buddhism who comes out to wipe his buttocks.

Seeing such a completely different Journey to the West from later generations, although reality is hidden everywhere, it is indeed very interesting.

It's the equivalent of two companies working together, and then sending four people to form a project team.

There is intrigue in the project team, and the immortals above are fighting, and they will also suffer.

And the compilation of Wu Chengen in later generations has become the first half of Taoism, the second half of Buddhism, and Taoism's Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, was finally canonized by Buddhism, which is really funny.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji asked that Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie continue to be written as Taoism, and then compile them to form a complete set of texts, rather than the current abbreviated script.

As for the implicit reality, even Zhu Di doesn't care, let alone Zhu Zhanji.

Sometimes when he is bored, he thinks that the Journey to the West in the future will change greatly, don't blame me.

Listening to Zhu Youzhuo complaining excitedly, and then contacting other clans, time passed quickly.

A group of children want to watch fireworks, but the open fire in the palace is very strictly managed, and Zhu Di must be in charge of this matter.

I sent someone to tell him, and he was in a good mood and immediately agreed, but asked to send more guards to guard against it.

In fact, the fireworks are all set off in the south of the Wuying Palace, the south side of the palace Yuhe martial arts field, here away from other buildings, in the southwest corner of the palace city, has never been on fire because of fireworks.

Hundreds of people braved the cold wind to move the martial arts arena, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were not on duty in the palace also came over to watch the excitement.

Zhu Zhanji's more than a dozen children, as well as more than 100 children of other clans, large and small, were elated, and even Fei'er, who was about to fall asleep during dinner, was excited with her brothers and sisters at this time.

In this era, there are too few fun affairs, and the New Year is the year-round expectation of every child.

When the dazzling fireworks rose into the air, it also announced that the seventeenth year of Yongle had come to an end.

The eighteenth year of Yongle is coming soon!

(I didn't sleep all night and finished the second chapter.) A total of 12,000 words. This chapter was originally written at the beginning of Journey to the West, which has 6,000 words, but the content about Yan Shenggong and Journey to the West is too sensitive. In the end, about 1,000 words were deleted and revised, trying to make it less controversial. ）(https:)
