Money and military power, this is a resource that the emperor must control in his own hands.

Anyone can only get involved in one aspect of management at most, and not both.

Chen Xuan wants to be a lonely minister because he was a lonely minister from the beginning. It was too late to take refuge in Zhu Di, and the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and Li Bin, the Marquis of Fengcheng, had a good relationship with him, and other generals looked down on him.

No matter how strong his ability is and his qualifications are too shallow, those nobles who have followed Zhu Di from the beginning also look down on him.

Huang Fu's side is different, he is a Wenchen. The civil servants in the court basically followed Zhu Di after the fall of Jianwen.

He mainly became the secretary of the Ministry of Industry in the first year of Yongle, and he was outstanding, so he was a little arrogant.

He offended Chen Ying in his early years, Chen Ying was a more ruthless character than Ji Gang at the beginning, but Zhu Di cherished his talent and refused to kill Huang Fu, and Chen Ying could only drive him to Beiping first, and then to Jiaozhi to join the army.

But he never thought that Huang Fu couldn't hide in the army, and as a civil servant, he gradually became the chief logistics officer of the entire Southern Expeditionary Army, and finally relied on his prestige to take charge of Jiaozhi.

Chen Ying fell, and he should have returned to Beijing. It's just that Jiaozhi can't do without him, so he stays there.

At this time, he offended the tyrannical Ma Qi because of justice, and offended the internal supervision system again.

If it weren't for Zhu Zhanji, he would not have been able to return to Beijing to become the head seal officer of the Ministry of War.

When these two families got married, they committed his taboo.

Although their loyalty is trustworthy, whether it is Chen Xuan, Huang Fu, or Huang Yuan, they are all objects of outstanding ability, and Zhu Zhanji admires and trusts them very much.

But as a superior person, you must not give anyone such a chance.

There must be a balance of power, which is the basis for stability.

Huang Yuan is only thirty-three years old this year, even if he is loyal and fair and honest all his life, he will become a powerful minister in the future.

Zhu Zhanji doesn't know how old he can live, it's okay to live seventy or eighty, he can hold anyone down.

If it is like in the original history, he died young, at that time, who could balance Huang Yuan?

If he is a little crooked, at that time, the country will be in danger.

Therefore, no matter when, you can't give him such conditions, and you can't put an end to such things from the beginning.

Zhu Di is now going to be in the Zen position, and he almost doesn't care about state affairs these days, wandering around every day.

After he succeeds to the throne, the imperial court reform, which has been prepared for several years, will be gradually implemented.

The first thing Zhu Zhanji wanted to change was diplomacy, and today's Honglu Temple is far from meeting the needs of diplomacy. The Ministry of Rites and the Department of General Administration also have departments that have something to do with diplomacy, and these aspects must be sorted out.

Zheng He's management of the navy is just an expedient measure, and in Zhu Zhanji's view, he is a very suitable candidate for the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Although Chen Cheng thinks that he and Hou Xian have stronger diplomatic skills, the two of them only have strong communication skills and eloquence.

However, it lacks the nobility of Zheng He, and lacks the overall situation and calmness that a leader of a big country should have.

Chen Cheng is very powerful, but it is not good to let others be afraid when they see it, and afraid when they see it.

Therefore, Chen Cheng is a qualified candidate for the general political envoy, not a qualified candidate for the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

A person like him is suitable for intelligence.

Zheng He was transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the navy was Zhu Zhanji's most important power department, and he was in charge of himself, and he also needed a competent person to help him handle official affairs.

Huang Yuan's overall management ability has been verified, and the daily affairs of the navy are nothing in front of him.

But when Chen Xuan was still serving as the governor of the bank, he would definitely not hand over this burden to Huang Yuan after they got married.

On the second day, before breakfast, Huang Yuan's post was handed over.

Zhu Zhanji ate porridge, listened to Li Liang's report on the names of the people he asked to see, and gave a brief summary of what happened to them.

Before Zhu Zhanji met with them, according to the reason for their visit, the General Administration Department and Jinyiwei, including the Consultation Department, had to investigate all these things, and there would never be a situation in which Zhu Zhanji did not know anything about what was said.

Due to the tens of thousands of people coming to Dongzhou at once, Li Liang has been busy and haggard these times.

Those indigenous representatives of Dongzhou, because of the large number of people, are now arranged to live in the Guozijian in the city and the polytechnic outside the city.

The design of the Polytechnic Institute is based on the design of 30,000 people, and there are 30 dormitories that have been built so far.

The dormitory is similar to the dormitory buildings of the later 80s, with a wide staircase in the middle, five dormitories on each side, and a toilet for bathing.

Each dormitory has six bunk beds and can accommodate 12 people, a total of five floors, and a building can accommodate 5 or 600 people.

Although the conditions are so simple, for most of the aborigines, this clean and tidy dormitory with glass windows is far beyond their imagination.

Their daily schedule is full, learning the etiquette of the emperor in school for a day, and visiting Yingtianfu for a day under the leadership of the personnel of Honglu Temple, Inner Supervisor and Ministry of Rites.

Most of them are local tyrants, they have nothing, they just have gold, and as long as they go out, they will buy a large number of things that are strange to them.

Some tribes did not have gold, and they all carried various specialties. For them, many people in Daming also liked ordinary things, and the internal supervisors bought them uniformly, and then sold them at a high price.

After they were all trained, Zhu Zhanji would receive them in batches.

Huang Yuan complained in the post, thinking that since the Huang family has made a marriage with the Chen family, there is naturally no reason to regret it.

Hearing him say this, Zhu Zhanji began to consider the new candidate for the navy governor.

As for Huang Yuan, he first honestly served the immigrants from Nanzhou and the navy, and waited until Chen Xuan stepped down later before he had a chance to really take power.

However, the selection of the new candidates made Zhu Zhanji a little worried, because he had to familiarize himself with the situation of the navy and manage all kinds of trivial affairs, but he could not turn back the clock on history.

He has a few candidates, Baoding Hou Meng Ying, Yingzhou Hou Zhu Zhen, and one is Hou Xian, who went to Dongzhou this time to make great contributions.

With Zheng He in front, this time Hou Xian is afraid that he will also be crowned a duke with a false name. Speaking of which, his credit is greater than that of Zheng He, nearly two million taels of gold, more than four million taels of silver, not to mention a fictitious duke, even a hereditary duke, it is also worth it.

And he is not the same as Zheng He, Zheng He also has a nephew and can inherit the family property, but he has no close relatives.

It's just that the battle exploits are still being counted, and there is no reward yet.

As for the other hero, Yi Xin, his performance in Dongzhou this time was not too good, he was brutal and unkind in Dongzhou, greedy for money and lustful, although he made great contributions, but his title rose by one level, but he would not be reused.

All three of them have their own strengths and weaknesses.

In terms of understanding the navy and water warfare, Zhu Zhen is the best at it.

In terms of fame and the ability to win people's hearts, Meng Ying is the strongest.

And Hou Xian is slightly deficient in both aspects, but he is the most trustworthy, and his ability to deal with complicated affairs is slightly better than the two.

Meng Ying is the kind of child of a family, it is enough to be a leader, and let him deal with trivial matters, basically relying on others.

Zhu Zhen is a military general, famous and the weakest.

After some consideration, Zhu Zhanji still decided to let Hou Xian take over Zheng He's position, he didn't need a wise leader, because no one could compare to him, but he was an auxiliary minister who could handle affairs specifically, and Hou Xian was the most suitable.

And Zhu Zhen and Meng Ying, Zhu Zhanji is also ready to be reused, Nanzhou needs a naval admiral to be responsible for coordinating immigration affairs, and Meng Ying, after Mencius, is very suitable to be the head of the navy.

And Dongzhou's side wants to educate, facilitate future management, and make all ethnic groups surrender, and they also need a fleet to garrison, and it is also very suitable to let Zhu Zhen go over to guard it.

Of course, this admiral or chief military officer will only manage there temporarily, and will not be divided.

In the future, Dongzhou will only send soldiers, soldiers' relatives, as well as his children and ordinary officials to manage in the past, and must not let senior generals get too involved there.

Nanzhou is close to each other, and there are countless relay islands in between, and there will be constant exchanges. In the future, even if someone has wolf ambitions and wants to secede, it will be easy to suppress it.

But if they are allowed to form a situation in the distant Dongzhou that they can't shake off, then it will be a troublesome matter.

"The Electric Power Research Institute handed over a post, saying that the motor has made a major breakthrough and can run smoothly."

Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed and immediately said: "Arrange the car, I don't see those officials today, and I will go to the bridge after dinner." ”

In the Honglu Temple outside the Chengtian Gate, Liu Wan said to Huang Yuan: "Fu'an, Your Highness has explained, I already know your mind, and I won't see you today." Let you take a good look at the information of Dongzhou, and after a while, when the immigrants from Nanzhou are mobilized, I will talk to you again. ”

Huang Yuan sighed inwardly, and said with a long smile on his face: "Thank you, Young Eunuch Liu, ......."

I didn't see him today, and it was obvious that His Highness was not satisfied with the answer he gave. However, Huang Yuan had no regrets in his heart, in fact, in addition to being disappointed, there was also a trace of relief.

If he really quits the Liu family, he will be famous. And he is in his early thirties, if he is really entrusted with a heavy responsibility, he will already be in the limelight now, and he will show off in the forest, at that time, it is simply a fire cooking oil.

Therefore, even if he is really asked to take over the navy, he must turn down this appointment.

It is better for His Highness to be disappointed now than to put the Huang family in danger.

Xiamaqiao Farmstead. Sunan woke up early in the morning, his wife Lian'er was still asleep with her little daughter in her arms, and there were visible tears in the corners of her eyes.

He was afraid of waking them up, so he didn't want to move, but he couldn't help but sigh.

Unexpectedly, Lian'er was not asleep, and a sigh woke her up. She opened her eyes, looked at the sky, sat up at once, and said, "The concubine is getting up late today, so I'll prepare breakfast for my husband immediately." ”

Sunan reached out and pressed her shoulder, shook her head and said, "I heard the movement, Xiao'e should already be cooking." You sleep a little longer......"

"It's okay, the concubine has already slept."

"Obedient." Sunan pressed her arm without refuting it, because she didn't dare to make too loud noises for fear of waking up her daughter, who was still ignorant. "I'm sorry for you and the children, but that's my father and mother after all!"

Lian'er shook her head and said, "The concubine is also at fault, and she shouldn't have embarrassed her husband yesterday." ”

Sunan hugged Lian'er, buried her face in her hair, and murmured, "Lian'er, why don't we go to Dongzhou together." Once I went there, there would be no more blood-sucking fathers. ”

Lian'er looked at her two-year-old daughter, thinking that she had a six-year-old son, and hesitated. She hadn't spoken yet, but she heard someone outside calling his name, and the maid Xiao'e answered, and the voice behind her was quieter, and he couldn't hear what he was saying.

But after a while, the North Korean maid Xiao'e came to the door of the bedroom and said softly: "Master Su, the guards are here to report, Master Su, they have arrived at Zhuangzikou again, and they want you to pick them up." ”

"Got it......"

Lian'er raised her head and said firmly: "Go, we Dongzhou." I don't believe that they can still chase them to Dongzhou. ”

Sunan looked at his wife and felt guilty in his heart.

Before marrying him, Lian'er was an orphan girl specially cultivated by the Shu Palace, although she was an orphan girl, she also had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and she came from brocade clothes and jade food.

After marrying himself, not only did he not enjoy much happiness, but he followed His Royal Highness to the sea after less than two months of marriage, and it was three years after he went out. After he came back, he said that life would be better, but since he came back, a group of his relatives have been entangled with the door.

If it's other relatives, Sunan can ignore it, but it's his parents and brothers who come to entangle!

Sunan is a native of Huguang Jingzhou, and because of his poor family since he was a child, he ran a boat with adults before he was an adult.

Later, he was recruited into the water division, and his life was better.

However, he left home since he was a child, so he naturally did not get close to his parents. After him, his parents gave birth to six younger siblings in a row. Maybe it's a cheap fate, but they all survived.

He is not close to his parents, but those are spoiled by his parents. Before he got married, his parents had already arranged for his second brother.

This is nothing, and he doesn't want his parents, who are already poor, to arrange a marriage for him.

In the fourteenth year of Yongle, because of his meritorious service to the Eastern Expedition, he was awarded the title of Viscount of Huyang, Captain Zhaoxin, and promoted to the commander of the First Fleet. In addition to various awards, he also has 80 acres of tax-free military merit fields in his hometown.

The Su family, who was originally poor and had no land, became a rich family because of these eighty acres of land, and although he, the viscount, Zhaoxin Lieutenant, was only a fictitious title, his rank was higher than that of the county order.

The Su family is really prosperous, at least in the local area, his father, who was originally looked down upon by Li Zheng, can become a guest of the county order.

Eighty acres of tax-free land is a reward from the imperial court, and as long as he lives, he is exempt from taxes. But it is still an official field, not a private field.

In the past few years, my parents have used all the harvested fields to buy private fields, except for their own chewing, and Sunan has never eaten a grain of rice.

He just came back, took his wife and son back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and when he came, he brought his fourth brother and younger brother who had not yet married.

He took great pains to find errands for them, and spent a lot of money not to mention, but also sold a lot of favors.

But people's hearts are always insatiable, they can't read, they can only work hard, counting, it's better to toss those lands in their hometown.

And with his rank, he was rewarded not only with land but also with gold and silver. When he became a viscount, he had a salary, a real position, and a salary.

Of course, the days on both sides cannot be compared together.

The two younger brothers couldn't endure hardship, and they didn't know what to say to his parents after quitting their jobs and went home, and after the summer harvest, they called their parents to the capital, and they wanted to buy property for their two younger brothers in the capital, to marry them, and to provide for them in the old age.

It seems that all of this is his responsibility.

Sunan knew that they were living a tight life in order to buy land. However, he doesn't want any of those fields, and he has helped his family many times, and he also buys gifts during the New Year's holidays, and he has a family, so he can't be satisfied all the time without a bottom line.

However, his parents didn't listen to his explanation, and only thought that he was doing well and his younger brothers were doing badly, so he should help.

If you don't agree to these conditions, your parents will make trouble.

Yesterday, there was a big fuss at home, and if he didn't give the money, he would go to the navy to sue him for disobedience.

Disobedience is the first felony, and anyone who has a connection with disobedience, once it is verified, let alone an official position, even his life is difficult to protect.

Sunan had no choice but to promise to build a three-family large tiled house courtyard for each of his two younger brothers in his hometown.

This still couldn't satisfy the two younger brothers, and he said that he would buy ten acres of private land for each of them.

Nowadays, the price of grain is not high, and there are still many uncultivated areas in the official land, because the government taxes are too high.

There is a uniform tax on the fields distributed by the government, although it is harvested according to 60 percent, but if the harvest is not good, it is equal to 7 or 8 percent of the grain must be taxed.

Private land is different, at most 30% of the tax will be paid, and more than half of it can be left.

The price of grain is not high, but the price of private land has not been cheap, Jingzhou is the land of fish and rice, and one acre of local land costs at least six taels of silver.

In this way, if he builds a house and buys land, two hundred silver coins are probably not enough.

Sunan's own expenses are not big, but Lian'er grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she is used to spending lavishly.

In fact, not only her, but also Duan Renzhi and Ma Dezhong's wives, they also have such problems.

They are willing to be willing to themselves, they have children, and they are even more willing to be willing to children, and they don't have much savings at all.

If Sunan agrees to this condition and does not sell jewelry, he will have to live a hard life for a few years.

Yesterday, the conditions were not negotiated, and the Xiamaqiao Farm was the most strictly managed place in the Ming Dynasty, and they couldn't live here at night, so they stayed outside the Zhuangzi.

This morning came again and asked him to pick up people and sign autographs.

After freshening up in an instant, Sunan first went to the kitchen to take a look, Xiao'e was not a parent, and his younger brother had breakfast, and he thought that if they didn't eat, he would go outside Zhuangzi to buy some food and come back in a while.

When she was about to go out, Lian'er stopped Sunan and said: "Husband, with such parents, we can only accept our fate, and their conditions can be agreed, but we must have our own conditions." In the future, except for the hundred years of consumption of my parents, at other times, I can no longer give money for my brothers. After all, we have children of our own. ”

Sunan took the basket from the kitchen windowsill and said gloomily: "I know, I will ask the Qian Commander to be a witness in a while, and my heart is also broken by them." ”

Sunan walked quickly to the entrance of the farm, his parents and two younger brothers were waiting outside the entrance, and when they asked, they didn't eat breakfast.

He said that he was going to buy some food, but not only his parents, but even his two younger brothers did not move, and his eyes were cold when he looked at him.

He sighed, walked a little east, bought some buns from a roadside stall, and put them in a basket.

When he came back, he remembered that yesterday, his parents took advantage of the time he went out for a while to make a big fuss, which made Lian'er suffer a lot of grievances and almost snatched Lian'er's jewelry box.

Now bring them in, and I will ask the commander to give a witness in a moment, so it is better to ask someone first.

When he came back to the entrance, his father was displeased and said, "We have come all the way to the capital, and we can't even live in your house, and now we have to wait for this long time......

Sunan explained: "Dad, this is the law of the imperial court, the order of His Royal Highness Taisun himself, who dares to violate it?" What's more, that house was given to us by His Highness, which does not mean that it is my house. Speaking of which, I don't even have a house of my own except this one. ”

He must have inquired about it all, but he just took this opportunity to show his father's majesty.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Sunan handed the basket to the younger brother next to him and said, "You carry it first, and I have to go and ask my boss to command the adult to come and give us a witness......"

When his father heard the command, he cried out in a panic, "What do you want to do?" Why did you invite the officials? ”

Sunan said: "Yesterday I told Lian'er for half a night, and she also agreed, willing to buy property for her two younger brothers." But this time, my house is empty. Children also have wives and children, and they will also start a family in the future, how can they do without any savings in their hands? I agreed to such a thing this time, but only this once, and I have nothing to do with them in the future. ”

The Su family has changed from a mud-legged man to a squire-level wealthy family, relying on this eldest son, hearing Sunan say this, Su's father was a little panicked.

He was not close to his eldest son, and wanted his eldest son to subsidize a few smaller ones, but he didn't dare to force his son to deny him. Without this eldest son, what are they! A small official of the county government can make them never live.

However, in front of his son, he is still used to using anger to hide his panic. "You are disobedient, I will sue you!"

The two younger brothers have long been a little dissatisfied with him, and when they came to him, a thousand presidents actually arranged for them to go to the grain store to work as coolies, and they didn't care about them at all.

Hearing their father's scolding, they glanced at each other, and the sixth child smashed the basket in his hand on Sunan's face at once. "How dare you make Daddy angry!"

And the fourth child also slapped him. "Don't say that you are the president of Qian, you are a commander, and you can't disobey your father!"

Sunan grabbed his hand, glared at him and said, "Who gave you the courage to dare to do something to me?" ”

The fourth child dared to babble with his father's face, and was glared at by Sunan, the elder brother who had killed several people with his own hands, and his heart became empty.

When Su's father saw that his eldest son was ruthless, he was so angry that he went up and slapped him. "What about the guts I gave him?"

Sunan was slapped and turned his face, only to find that the other side of his face should have been cut by the bamboo strips of the basket, and a lot of blood was shed, along the cheeks, and soon dyed the placket red.

Seeing this scene, Su Mu cried. "Don't fight, say it well."

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a group of cavalry quickly occupied some nodes on both sides of the road. The two eunuchs shouted back and forth: "His Royal Highness Taisun is out on patrol, and the idle people are quiet, avoiding ......"

(I'll try to write another 12,000 today, but it should be late)
