In the previous section, Zhang Juzheng's grandson Zhang Tongchang returned to Yunnan with the holy decree together with Senator Ran Lin.

Along the road to see the busy scene, many places feel like a paradise, the states and counties passed, the terrain is flat, the water conservancy is rich in more than 1,000 people placed in the tun farming.

Everyone is grateful for Yang Xuan's kindness, and now the tun farming is completely exempt from the pain of conquest, and the tax is far lower than that of the mainland.

The tax on tuning is 3 buckets of rice per mu of fertile land and 3 buckets of wheat on dry land, which is almost half of that in the mainland.

And the first three years are exempt from taxes, and the fourth year is paid to pay the field and the dingfu.

Far away, Zhang Tongchang listened to some people calculating that he had cultivated 10 acres of paddy fields, how much he could harvest in a year, and when the time came, he would marry a minority girl, so that he could live in peace and stability for a lifetime.

Every time I went to a guard station, I saw that the scene was very different from what I saw in the past, and I listened to the introduction of the veterans in the guard house, and after entering the cloud (south, I saw that the guard stations existed in name only, and many of the guards had a hard time making a living, so they decided to revitalize the guard station.

The Qianguo State Judicial Authority merged the health centers, reduced the number of health centers that had no military value, changed many health centers into prefectures and counties, and selected officials to manage them.

In order to protect the territory and the people, and to protect local security, 15 garrison battalions were established in the province, each garrison battalion of 400 people, under the command of local commanders, and stationed at the key points of the pass on weekdays, or quelled the troubles of the rogues and Tusi.

In addition to the garrison battalion, at the junction with the Tusi, the militia is often organized, everyone is busy with the people, training when the farm is slack, and concentrating on defending against the enemy when the police are encountered.

Those who are selected will be exempted from the Ding Fu of the year, and the government will subsidize food during the training and attendance period.

What everyone values is not this, but the future, the yamen has already posted a notice that all the yamen will be selected from the army or the people.

Scholars expect to become famous in the imperial examination, be promoted and make a fortune, and ordinary people also have their own future, that is, they have a head and face in the local area.

In the eyes of many people, servitude is just a cheap job, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is simply heaven.

In addition, the Duke of Qianguo abolished the inherent household registration system of military households, sent personnel to clean up the land that had been embezzled by the guards, and beheaded officials who had embezzled very serious land.

After clearing the land, in the past, each military household in the guard station could be allocated 10 acres of paddy fields and 20 acres of dry land, and everyone paid 5 percent more than the regular tax every year, and paid the same amount as ordinary people.

For those who really can't pay the tribute, they can be compensated in these ways, or accompany the garrison army to train for one month every winter, or participate in various basic projects organized by the county every year, such as building roads, building water conservancy, and so on.

These former military households, like ordinary people, did not need to fight with the army, except for the local officials who killed everyone or assisted the garrison in battle, and enjoyed a certain amount of pension after the battle was lost.

This made Zhang Tongchang secretly surprised, there are so few garrisons, if this military system is adopted, what should the Tusi do?

A man in an open shirt shouted: "You are stupid, others come to beat you, seize your land, invade your house, rob your wife and children, are you wood and don't know how to resist?"

How many people are there in Toast, and how many are we? In addition, in addition to us, every county has a militia and a government service.

Each province has a garrison, and the province and the whole country have more volunteers. ”

After thinking about it, Zhang Tongchang also felt that this was the case, the common people often protect themselves, and how many rely on the government?

I am also curious about the source of military salaries, in the past, the soldiers of the guard station never paid military salaries, and everyone needed to prepare their own weapons when fighting, but now they are paid military salaries, how does this military salary come from?

Another man shook his head and said, "You, just like our new commander said, you have read too much."

Think about it, a guard was originally 5,600 households, even after the war, there were not tens of thousands of military households in that guard?

One household pays 1 load of grain every year, which is enough for 10,000 loads of grain, which is enough for more than 500 people to eat.

In addition, each male Ding was given 6 cents of silver, 10,000 Ding and 600 taels of silver, and there were no 10,000 male households in that guard, so that many garrisons could also be recruited.

Zhang Tongchang frowned, and said in surprise: "Are you talking about the Duke of Qianguo Mu Tianbo Mu Guogong?" When did he become so good at governance? This, that's pretty good, huh? ”

This soldier glared at Zhang Tongchang, shook his head and said, "Mu Tianbo, he was killed by the rebels and the rebels of the Nong family a long time ago.

You don't know, the Duke of Qianguo is the Governor of the Six Provinces, Yang Xuan Yang Zixiu, I heard that he is the guest of honor of the Shu Prince's Mansion, not only defeated the Tartars many times, but also is a very good person.

Hey, the traitorous ministers of the court are in charge, the emperor is mediocre, if we let the Duke of Qianguo to govern state affairs, the Tartars would have been driven away a long time ago, and our common people would no longer suffer. ”

Zhang Tongchang was shocked, looked at Ran Lin and said, "Senator Ran, when did Penghou become the Duke of Qianguo?"

The edict of the imperial court appointing Penghou as the governor of the four provinces is still in our hands, why has it already spread in society? ”

Ran Lin was also quite surprised, and shook his head again and again, not knowing what was going on?

This is the matter of Chen Bang, the Duke of Qingguo, passing on the edict, because this incident made the volunteers and the Yongli court more and more separated.

Chen Bangchuan is a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, who is a son of a rich family, good at greeting, and Shaoxing people are good at management, and he entered the official career with a bribe.

In the Southern Ming Dynasty, Chen Bangchuan became a member of the staff to guard Liuzhou and Gyeongju, and after Li Chengdong anyway, he saw that Emperor Yongli had named Li Chengdong as the Duke of the Kingdom, so these people who had the merit of supporting the establishment also became the Duke of the State.

After Sun Kewang entered Guangxi, Qu Shiyun, the governor of Guangxi, felt that Nanning's defense was weak, and sent Chen Bangchuan to lead his troops into Nanning, thus becoming the chief general of Nanning.

When the Volunteers attacked Yun (Nanguang Nanfu), Sun Kewang asked Emperor Yongli to send someone to mediate the dispute with the Volunteers in order to avoid the Volunteers, and on the other hand, he led his troops into the western territory of Guangzhou.

How could this group of rich and noble soldiers be the opponents of the wolf-like Great Western Army, after seeing that the Great Western Army repeatedly conquered the prefecture and county Zhizhou Ming Army could not resist, Chen Bangchuan hurriedly summoned Wu Kangbo, Hu Zhigong and others to discuss.

When Hu Zhigong heard this, he smiled and said, "My lord, what's so difficult about this? Didn't the emperor give you the emptiness?

Now that Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, was defeated and killed, and the title of Duke of Qianguo is vacant, it is better for the Lord to use the empty edict given by the emperor to seal Yang Xuan as the Duke of Qianguo, so that he should no longer fight against the Liukou, and order him to send troops to the east to crusade against the Tartars.

Although Penghou was quite reluctant in his heart, he saw that the imperial court named him the Duke of Qianguo, Shizhenyun (south, and made him the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangzhou, in this case, he would definitely strike the army and make peace. ”

Chen Bangchuan was slightly stunned, and said after praising it again and again: "Wu Kangbo, having said that, Yang Xuan will also send an envoy to Zhaoqing, what if this kind of thing is discovered by the imperial court and Yang Xuan?" ”

Hu Zhigong laughed and said: "Qingguo Gong, if Yang Xuan finds out about this matter, he will only feel the benefits of adults helping others in his heart, and the imperial court finds out, what is this?"

The imperial court doesn't grant the lord the right to act cheaply, the emperor can't do anything, the lord has a heavy army, what can the court do if he knows? ”

Chen Bangchuan and Hu Zhigong chewed the words, and finally created such a holy decree, and then quickly ran to Kunming to meet Yang Xuan.

As soon as Yang Xuan heard the arrival of the imperial court's decree, he was stunned at first, and then habitually greeted Hu Zhigong and others.

Listening to the hereditary Duke of Qianguo, Xiangzhi National Affairs, the Governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangzhou, controlling civil and military affairs, raising soldiers, horses, and food and salaries from all walks of life, and using words such as brotherhood to make people overwhelm the world, Yang Xuan felt very happy when he looked at the two seals of the treasure of Qianguo and the Governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangzhou. (Compared with the pseudo-edict of the King of Qin passed on by Chen Bang to Sun Kewang in history, it is much more restrained, in the pseudo-book, there are the president's soldiers, horses, money, and food, control all civil and military affairs, and act in the style of the prince of the country, and the emperor respects the words such as Gu Zhongfu)

Seeing this, everyone congratulated, and some even said: "My lord, this time the emperor is generous, in the past, he was reluctant to give a seal ribbon in his hand for a long time, and today he gave the adult the right to manage the country's affairs, which is really gratifying." ”

The new governor Yamen Ren Su shook his head and said: "It is gratifying that Hou Ye was promoted to an adult, but after the death of Jin Shenghuan and He Tengjiao, Li Chengdong, Chen Bangchuan and others were also crowned adults.

Hou Ye's merits are far above the princes, and now he is actually the same as Chen Bangchuan and others, there is really nothing to celebrate. ”

When everyone heard this, it was gloomy.

Qian Bang, the capital supervisor, thought about it and comforted: "The emperor is willing to be crowned lord, it can be seen that the emperor and the princes of the court are still quite important, and it is not the problem of picking on our volunteers as some people say, and merit has become a fault instead?"

Jin Shenghuan He Tengjiao was crowned king, but a hundred years later.

Although Hou Ye and Li Chengdong, Chen Bangchuan and others are all ranked adults, it is true that Hou Ye is the land of Shizhen Qiandi, which is no different from the Mu clan in Yunnan, although he is not a prince, his power is far above that of ordinary princes, and it can be said that it is almost equal to splitting the soil and sealing the king. ”

Holding the seal ribbon, Yang Xuan hesitated, and said to everyone for a long time; "The court is willing to seal me, so it can be seen that the emperor still trusts us, and it is only because of the traitorous ministers in the court that this kind of news comes out.

This award will be published in the "Popular Magazine", so that the people can enjoy together.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am not glad that I have been rewarded personally, but that the Imperial Court has finally taken our volunteers seriously. ”

Wu Zhaoyuan, the former governor of Yunnan, was accustomed to seeing the big scene, and silently watched this reward, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and pulled Yang Xuan's shirt and said, "My lord, is there fraud in this?"

Ran Lin has been going to the line for more than four months, and it stands to reason that the chapter should arrive at the imperial court, and this reward should also be accompanied by it, why is there no news of Ran Lin in the holy decree? ”

Yang Xuan glared at Wu Zhaoyuan, patted his shoulder in shock, and said, "You have a lot of hearts, everything in the world can be fake, how can the holy decree be fake?" ”

In order to boost morale, Yang Xuan officially appointed the eldest princess Zhu Shuying as the Duchess of Qianguo, Ma Fengyu and Liu Lian'er were the second and third ladies respectively.

Liu Changlin, Wu Yanghu, Xu Kongtu, Wang Xiang and He Zhen were appointed as senior counselors of the palace

In accordance with the model of the Prince's Palace, the Changshi Department was established, and Zhou Zheng was appointed as the chief envoy of the Qianguo Gong Experience, and Ren Su was appointed as the deputy envoy to assist in handling government affairs.

Wu Zhaoyuan was appointed as the governor of Sichuan, Yan Ximing was appointed as the political envoy of Sichuan, Chen Jichang was appointed as the envoy of the inspector, and Fan Mingshan was appointed as the commander of the four (Sichuan) capitals.

Yin Chengju was appointed as the governor of Yunnan, Zhan Tianyan as the political envoy of Yunnan Bu, Lei Yuelong as the envoy of Yunnan according to the inspection, and Cao Xun as the commander of Yunnan Du

Chen Yingzong was appointed as the commander of the Gansu capital, and He Zhen was appointed as the commander of the Yunyang capital.

Ren Gong Wanjing, Ran Lin, Zhang Lang, and Ren Su were appointed as the governor's yamen servants to help him handle military affairs.

When Yang Xuan was governing Yunnan (south), he was actively preparing for war, full of interest, and vowed to defeat the Tartars in order to recover Erjing.
