After listening to the reports of Ma Shiying and other Sichuan officials on civil affairs, Zhu Youxiao went to Guizhou in the early autumn after hearing another face-to-face order.

Among the 13 original Chengxuan political envoys in Guannai, Guizhou's Chengxuan political envoys were established relatively late, their economic foundation was also relatively weak, and their ethnic composition was more complex than that of Sichuan.

Moreover, there are more students in this area, and if you change the land and return to the stream, it will be more difficult than Sichuan, and it is precisely because of this that Zhu Youxiao did not change the land in Guizhou first, but let Ma Shiying become the governor of Sichuan first, and then carried out it in Sichuan, but then radiated and affected Guizhou.

If necessary in the future, Zhu Youxiao will set up a governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, let Ma Shiying be the first governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and implement the policy of changing the land and returning to the river in Guizhou on the basis of Sichuan.

Therefore, the current changes in Guizhou are still mainly for the popularization and education of Han culture, and a large part of the literati who have been assigned have been assigned to Guizhou, which does not even understand the language.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao did not plan to exile Chen Jiru to the southwest at the beginning, after all, Chen Jiru was a simple hermit and had long since cut himself off from court politics, but this person had a very personal relationship with Dong Qichang, and when Dong Qichang was copied, he was still upset about Dong Qichang, saying that if he couldn't punish the doctor, Zhu Youxiao simply demoted him to Guizhou.

According to the news sent back by the people in Guizhou from Dongchang, this Chen Jiru was quite happy, and although he did not have enough meals and lived in a cliff cave after arriving in Guizhou, he was determined to learn from Wang Yangming to come to a dragon field to enlighten the Tao.

Because of this, Zhu Youxiao did not let Chen Jiru come back when he first released a group of literati who were exiled in the southwest.

Even if many literati are exiled to the southwest, they can still serve as professors and other academic positions, but Chen Jiru only works as a private school teacher, so naturally the subsidy for all seasons of the year is less than that of others.

Even Chen Jiru still remembered that the only time the mansion gave out an extra time of meat, it was because the emperor's eldest son was born.

After entering the territory of Guizhou, Zhu Youxiao had to change to take the sliding pole, this area due to the complex terrain and administrative difficulty is relatively large, so that the official road has not been widened, Zhu Youxiao's large carriage can not pass, and this time Zhu Youxiao is unwilling to use too much manpower to carry the past, so he changed to take the sliding pole, which can be regarded as an experience of the transportation mode of the private landlord.

The creaking sliding rod undulates with the green hills of different shades, and if you look closely, you will find that the mountains and forests in the distance are already full of soldiers of the Fifth Army or brocade guards in the light or in the dark.

Some Dongchang fanzi, who are based in Guizhou, also pretend to be peddlers and pawns, and use various methods to tell the people leading the way whether it is safe ahead.

The people in charge of the guards at the bottom were frightened and afraid that something would go wrong, while the upper-level Zhu Youxiao, his concubines and the ministers were as calm and calm as possible, and they could write some poems to live up to this leisure and wild interest.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao also knew that there would indeed be all kinds of accidents on patrol, but this was not the reason why he wanted to stay in the Forbidden City for the rest of his life, if as an emperor, he couldn't even go wherever he wanted to go to his own land, then there was no point in owning this territory.

Moreover, the level of security can be trained in this way, especially for the time when the class contradictions are gradually easing, because of the needs of economic development, the political power struggle has once again changed from strict to relaxed, and special agencies such as Dongchang for domestic intelligence and inspection can only rely on His Majesty the Emperor every time he goes out on patrol as a major event to train work ability.

Zhang Juzheng's examination method in the Wanli period was re-implemented by Zhu Youxiao again since the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to spend so much money to raise a group of idlers who would only do the wind and the moon and would not do half of the practical things.

Naturally, the East Factory also has an assessment, and the success of this patrol is an important assessment task for them, so they can't afford not to pay attention to it.

Because it is autumn, the rain in the entire Kaili Mountain area is more diligent, the fog is full of fog along the way, wet and slippery, it is difficult to see the blue sky, and the climate is gradually a little cold, Zhu Youxiao is fully prepared for this trip, he himself has already put on a big coat, and the Ning Concubine Luo and Liu Ru who came with it have already put on Guanyin pockets and covered with big hair clothes.

However, at this time, Zhu Youxiao saw that there were still barefoot farmers standing on the edge of the ridge holding a rake to carry mud to protect the ridge, and some children were still carrying a burden to pick up dog dung everywhere, and seeing that they were about to enter the cordon, Yidongchang had already pulled out a knife and jumped down from a towering ancient tree, with the blade pointed directly at the child.

The prefect of Kaili, who was following him from the side, sighed helplessly, he had informed all the people in the jurisdiction of the prefecture in advance in accordance with the above notice, and no trespass was allowed within fifty steps around the royal road, otherwise it would hurt his life, and today this kid had obviously forgotten this rule, and he was getting closer and closer.

Seeing that the blade was about to cut off the child's back, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly shouted: "Slow! ”

Suddenly, the knife of the Dongchang fan stopped in mid-air, and the hind limbs of the whole body climbed the branches and did not fall, and the child only realized the danger at this time, and looked up to see a person holding a knife aimed at himself, the child was so frightened that he was stunned for a moment, and a basket of dog dung in his hand also fell to the ground, tremblingly pointing to the horse dung under the hooves of the cavalry of the Fifth Army and said: "I just want this." ”

In the era when chemical fertilizers were not yet popular, organic fertilizer was the only fertilizer that could be used in agricultural production to improve crop yields, so farmers valued manure very seriously, at least more important than soil, and some children who could not do farm work would be arranged by the family to pick up animal manure everywhere, and this child was obviously attracted by a large amount of organic fertilizer brought by the large cavalry in Zhu Youxiao's imperial car, which led to the child almost dying here today.

However, Zhu Youxiao can also see that the southwest region is still much backward compared with other regions of the Ming Dynasty, such as Shandong, Jiangnan and other places, and the small peasant economy still occupies an absolute dominant position in these places, which is also the reason why the old-fashioned gentry who represent the small peasant economy in the court still account for a large part, and the Ming Dynasty has almost now almost appeared that the regional gap has begun to widen.

This is also a problem that Zhu Youxiao has to consider in the future, the management scope of the entire empire is getting wider and wider, and different regions must be unbalanced because of different geographical locations and different development methods, if the gap is small, it is fine, but once it is relatively large, it will inevitably lead to the division of the empire, and the happiness of social wealth will also decline.

After all, just as a person's pride comes from comparing himself with others, so does the likes and dislikes of people in a region with those who live in other regions.

The only effective way to make a certain area closed and impoverished because of poor geographical conditions is to build roads and continue to focus on education, the former is to break the geographical isolation and promote more economic exchanges between the region and the outside world, and the latter is to promote more people living here to grasp the key to knowledge, and then change the overall way of the region.

But both require huge investments, and the latter will lead to more exodus of local elites, as well as impoverishment and even worsening empty nesting and ageing.

The more he thinks about it, the more problems he can predict, Zhu Youxiao found that his head was no longer enough, but he also knew that although he could change the fate of history, he could not really change the evolutionary route of history for hundreds of years, and Zhu Youxiao could only cross the river by feeling the stones, and do his best to maintain and stabilize the situation of the Ming Empire.

"Let him go, and send an order to the officials in all parts of the country to notify the people in their jurisdiction, and to ensure that no more people will trespass into the warning area of the royal road without permission, and if any people are allowed to trespass, the chief officials of the state and county where they are located must also be dismissed!"

After Zhu Youxiao said this, Li Mingrui turned his horse's head and gave an order, and at the same time, the prefect of Kaili couldn't help but tremble in his heart, he didn't know what to do, and now in his own jurisdiction, there would be such a thing, he couldn't help but secretly swear that after he went back, he would teach this group of officials a good lesson, and actually let the children of the common people come to this place to pick up dog feces.

Zhu Youxiao's patrol is undoubtedly a challenge and an opportunity for these magistrates who have not had the opportunity to report on their work in Beijing for many years, as long as they do something that satisfies His Majesty, they can directly hang their names in front of His Majesty, and they will naturally be promoted faster in the future. Of course, if you are not satisfied, you will be directly punished by Your Majesty, and if your boss, the prefect, the prefect and the political envoy and other officials know, you can use money to settle it, but if you make a mistake in front of the emperor, you can't settle it with money, and maybe you will always leave this impression in front of Your Majesty, and no matter how other ministers praise you in the future, it will be difficult for Your Majesty to change your impression of yourself.

Good and bad, it's all Jane underground, and people's memories are super lazy, and they generally only remember their first impressions of a person.

"Zong Governor's Mansion, you inform me, after my Luan drives, the people can take the initiative to pick up the dung on the royal road, and they must not stop it!" As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, Zong Rong, the prefect of Kaili, chuckled again in his heart, and said secretly: "It's okay now, not only will I leave a bad impression in front of Your Majesty, but I will also have no way to make a fortune by sealing the royal road to collect horse manure and sell it to the people or hawkers after Your Majesty leaves." ”

"Yes, Weichen obeys the order", although the prefect of the sect had all kinds of hardships in his heart, he still agreed with a smile.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know what this Kaili prefect Zongrong was thinking, he didn't come to the southwest to inspect this time to purge these magistrates, after all, now Daming is short of magistrates, although Daming has successfully cultivated a lot of highly educated talents in various places, but this speed still hasn't kept up with the expansion speed of the territory, so he didn't mean to be too harsh on the fact that the Kaili prefect did not succeed in avoiding the people from appearing in the warning area.

And it didn't take long for Zhu Youxiao, who was taking a short break, to feel a slight cool valley breeze that woke him up, but he heard the sound of reading on the edge of the cliff in front of him, and his voice was loud and neat, as if there were hundreds of people.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel quite curious, and hurriedly asked about Zong Rong, the prefect of Kaili, and the prefect of Kaili had to answer truthfully that this was Chen Jiru lecturing in a cave.

It turns out that Guizhou is mountainous, and the government has limited funds, and it is difficult to build a house, after all, there are steep cliffs everywhere, so Chen Jiru, who was assigned here as a private school teacher, can only use the cliff caves between the cliffs as a place to teach, in fact, it is not only Chen Jiru's social studies, but also many other social studies.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't imagine that Chen Jiru had cultivated a champion for the eleventh year of the Apocalypse in such a place, so he got off the slide with curiosity and began to walk into the cliff.

When Zhu Youxiao came to the cave, he saw Chen Jiru standing on a blackboard hanging on the cliff wall in the deepest part of the cave, explaining a set of Confucian scriptures, while the students sitting on the dry grass were listening very carefully.

"Is there so many people in this Mr. Meigong every time?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask about Zong Rong, the prefect of Kaili, at this time.

Zong Rong hurriedly replied: "Yes, Mr. Meigong is a contemporary Confucian, with a quiet temperament, not chasing fame and fortune, and he is also knowledgeable, many people like to come to listen to his classes, and even the officials themselves sometimes take a look at it, and sometimes even the listeners can even reach as many as a thousand, after all, such a person is a rare talent for Guizhou."

"Then let him stay for ten more years, until he cultivates a famous person like him Chen Jiru", Zhu Youxiao smiled as he said, and then turned around and left here, he didn't need to disturb Chen Jiru, since this person enjoyed teaching in the countryside so much, as an emperor, there was no need to force people to go home or return to Beijing to take up their posts, but before Zhu Youxiao left, he still asked Li Mingrui to appoint Chen Jiru as a professor to be responsible for the teaching and faculty of the whole house.

However, just when Zhu Youxiao was about to return to Guiyang Mansion and then to the Liangguang area, Dongchang Fanzi, who had been inquiring about the news in the front, came back to report that a large number of Yi soldiers had been found in the front, and he also personally pleaded to meet His Majesty Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao was very surprised by this, he didn't expect that he would come directly to block the road when he really encountered the soldiers of Tusi, however, Zhu Youxiao was not the kind of person who was as timid as a mouse, so he decisively agreed to the request of others, that is, to meet these Tusi officials.

Zhu Youxiao really wanted to see what reasons these toasts who opposed the policy of changing the land and returning to the river would come up with, and where the bottom line of these toasts was.

But what I think is certain is that the army of this group of Tusi is not without self-knowledge, and they do not want to be in a hurry to tear their faces with the court, which shows that there is still room for the whole incident to turn around.
