Zhu Youxiao looked at these high-ranking officials with satisfaction, and his heart was full of a sense of achievement. Now they are no longer full of benevolence and morality, but put the interests of the Ming Dynasty first, and in order to deal with Chahar Khan, who is not sincerely obedient, they are also willing to put down morality for the time being and make some preparations first. But if he declared that he was going to deal with the Mongols when Chahar Khan did not tear up the agreement, then these people would definitely jump out against it.

This is the Ming man in Zhu Youxiao's mind, with integrity, even if it is against the enemy, he is not willing to deceive with lies, but it does not prevent the use of some small means to prevent trouble. When the enemy does not openly rebel or acts clearly against him, he still acts in accordance with the agreement between the two sides.

The heart of defending people is indispensable, and the heart of harming people is indispensable. If Chahar Khan sincerely surrenders, sacrifices the jade seal of the country, and grazes in the steppe with peace of mind, then he will not be stingy with the reward, and he will be willing to make peace with him forever. But since their motives are not pure in the first place, it is of course necessary to have the means to prepare countermeasures.

Zhu Youxiao knew that if he only brought over the knowledge of this era, it might put Daming in the lead for a period of time, but what about after he left this world? Moreover, he feels that China's lag behind Europe and the United States is not in science and technology, but in thought. Therefore, the most important thing is to change the people of the country slowly and ideologically. Changing the minds of the officials is the most important part of this, because he is only one person after all, and his holy decree needs the help of the officials to be implemented.

A month later, the Chahar tribe gave up all the land suitable for cultivation near the Great Wall, and at the same time handed over the Han people from the original land to the Ming army as slaves. In addition to the peasants, there are also a large number of artisan households, and the Chahar people were unwilling to hand over the artisan households, but Lu Xiangsheng directly stated that if the Mongols still have a Han slave in their hands, then all transactions will be canceled, and the Ming Emperor has an order that the Han people cannot be slaves.

Of course, the Ming also took into account the fact that the Mongols themselves could not make many daily necessities, so they expanded the variety of goods supplied in the horse market. Items such as iron pots are supplied in large quantities, and they are guaranteed to be supplied in the future, anyway, the iron pots are all pig iron, and the Mongols have no way to turn them into weapons, and they can also dispose of the iron blocks of poor quality in China at a high price, in exchange for a large number of cattle and sheep and other livestock, so why not.

The Han Chinese who came from the Mongols all became farmers on the farms. Domestically made high-quality farm tools, with cattle and horses and other livestock, coupled with domestic research on farming methods, as well as a very mature domestic management model, it is foreseeable that in a short period of time, this will become the closest to Mongolia granary.

Taking this as an opportunity, the emperor issued a holy decree: no Han Chinese can become slaves, even if they are voluntary. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu issued an edict to change slaves to goodness, and the number of domestic slaves was greatly reduced for a while. However, since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the practice of slavery has slowly flourished again.

These people are not slaves in the true sense of the word, but exist in the form of domestic servants and servants. According to the information from the Jinyi Guardian, the number of domestic slaves in some places is now staggering. Wu Mengming once wrote: "Wu Shieun's house, there are up to one or two thousand slaves. And Luo Sigong's report is even more astonishing: "The four families of Mei, Liu, Tian, and Li in Macheng, Hubei Province, have no less than three or four thousand servants. ”

The largest group of slaves, palace maids and eunuchs, were changed by the emperor's decree as early as the third year of the Apocalypse. The ladies of the palace who have reached the age of twenty-three, or who have been in the palace for eight years, are released from the palace to be married, and the royal family also pays them their salaries for these years. And the palace maids recruited in the future must also be on the premise of voluntariness, and they can only enter the palace after examination, and they can leave the palace at the age of twenty, so they are no longer cheap.

The group of eunuchs is relatively special, the emperor also banned the behavior of folk eunuchs in the third year of the Apocalypse, and since the third year of the Apocalypse, there has been no recruitment of eunuchs. Only a very small number of people who committed crimes and deserved death, and the circumstances were excusable, were changed to palace punishment after the emperor's amnesty was obtained with their consent. They also entered the palace as internal officials voluntarily, and they did not belong to the lowly status. As for those eunuchs who originally existed in the palace, there was no way to let them live on their own like palace maids, so Wei Zhongxian was assigned to manage some royal properties everywhere, but they were also good people who had lost their lowly status.

After the emperor's decree was issued, Jinyiwei began to act, and the first thing to check was the various palaces. When the emperor released the palace maids out of the palace in the third year of the Apocalypse, the various palaces also released a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, but then they accepted more young and beautiful ones. And with so many young and beautiful ones, the princes and princes naturally want to accept more eunuchs to defend their harems, and the emperor issued an edict prohibiting self-castration, which can prohibit most of them, but cannot prohibit the princes from selecting some people to castrate and enrich their eunuch team.

Henan Fuwangfu came to a team of fierce and vicious brocade guards, the door couldn't stop it, and kept rushing to the house, leaving people to control all parts of the palace while rushing back. Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, was listening to the play, when one of his subordinates ran in and shouted: "The prince is not good, the emperor has sent someone to kill you." He suddenly turned pale, and wanted to get up and run away, but he forgot that he had to be helped to get up, and struggled twice, but the person did not move.

His eldest son, Zhu Yousong, stood up and kicked the subordinate to the ground, and scolded: "What kind of foolish words did you say, how could the emperor come to kill my father for no reason, useless things, what the hell is going on." ”

Zhu Yousong knew that his father had always been obedient and did everything according to the emperor's wishes, but he didn't want to give the emperor an excuse to cut the knighthood. It is absolutely impossible for the emperor to send someone to kill, there must be some misunderstanding.

Sure enough, someone then came to report: "Lord, Jinyiwei blocked the palace, saying that he wanted to check the list of slaves." ”

King Fu relieved himself at this time, and said: "Wang'er, you go and negotiate with Jinyiwei, we have already released a large number of palace maids out of the house, there should be no problem." ”

Zhu Yousong's heart was not so relaxed, he knew that although the palace let the palace maids out of the palace, the palace still continued to recruit internal officials, and then castrated as deacons after being brought into the palace, and the tenant farmers in the family were basically slaves, if the emperor really made up his mind to investigate, he would definitely find the mistake.

Sure enough, Jin Yiwei found 213 cases of castration without permission, more than 3,500 peasant slaves, and 531 lowly palace maids. The emperor was furious and ordered the Fu Wangfu to change all the slave farmers and palace maids into good names, compensate the castrations with 2,000 yuan each, and confiscate 10,000 hectares of their land to set an example.
