"After the end of the meeting, Zhang Aiqing immediately went to the Ministry of Personnel to go through the formalities of handing over the documents, and made preparations to go to Suville Province to take up his post. Zhu Youzhen sipped his mouth lightly, he said too much today, and his mouth was dry for a long time.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Sauvai is an island province, and it is relatively easy to map, so Aiqing has to map the specific shape and size of Sauver Province, especially the Spice Islands, and how many islands there are, and the shape and location of each island, must be marked in detail."

"Your Majesty will follow your Majesty's teachings."

"Zhang Aiqing went to Nanyang - Austria, this place will not be called Nanyang in the future, it already belongs to the Ming Dynasty, let's call it the South China Sea, it happens to be the station of the South China Sea Fleet, I finally gave Aiqing two gifts." Zhu Youzhen smiled with a smile, this Suwei Province should be done like this.

"Gifts?" Zhang Ding was both excited and nervous, His Majesty the Emperor gave a gift in the court, what an honor, but he was also a little worried, under the heavy gift, there must be all kinds of huge pressure.

"Haha, don't misunderstand Aiqing," Zhu Youzhen felt that his words might have caused Zhang Ding's misunderstanding, "I will transfer two thousand soldiers from Huguang and enter Suwei Province with Aiqing, only transfer troops, not generals, and when Suwei Province settles down, they will no longer be soldiers, but police officers who specialize in maintaining local law and order, which is equivalent to the arrest of Daming." ”

"Catch fast?" Zhang Ding understood that Zhu Youzhen's gift was to assist him in managing Suwei Province, "Your Majesty, is there still a Ming garrison in Suwei Province?" ”

"No, the South China Sea Fleet is nearby, Aiqing doesn't have to worry about the security outside the island, these policemen are to maintain order on the island, if they are willing to settle their families in Suvay, they will be the first batch of Han people to officially immigrate to Suvay Province, and Aiqing will allocate them an appropriate amount of land."

When Zhu Youzhen became a Burmese province, he planned to use the police to maintain public order, completely liberate the military personnel, and use them exclusively for safeguarding national security, so that the garrisons in various localities could be effectively dismantled in the future.

The current tax of the Ming Dynasty, the main expenditure is on the military, if it is not for several foreign wars to get some extra silver, the Ministry of Finance simply does not have enough silver to set up education, naturalization of the frontier, even if you do not count the government soldiers in various places, the current army of the Ming Dynasty is still too much.

Now the province of Suwei happens to be a pilot.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Zhang Dingding nodded, he seemed to understand, Zhu Youzhen had already thought about it, the external security was handed over to the South China Sea Fleet, and the internal security was handed over to the police, "What about the second gift that His Majesty gave to the minister?" It shouldn't be a silver tael, right? ”

"Zhang Aiqing's guess is also right or wrong," Zhu Youzhen laughed, "The taxes of Suwei Province do not need to be handed over to the Ministry of Taxation for five years, all of them remain in the province, part of them are used to distribute officials' salaries and official expenses, and the rest are used to run schools on the island, and every child between the ages of seven and ten must be enrolled in school, learn Chinese, write Chinese characters, and use Chinese names." ”

Seeing that Zhang Ding didn't seem to understand, Zhu Youzhen added, "There is no need to fully blossom to build schools for the time being, just like population registration, starting from Manado and gradually advancing to the central and southern regions." ”

This is another pilot of Zhu Youzhen, the Ministry of Taxation is exempt from taxes for five years, you can exchange it for a basic sinicized province, the imperial court does not need to put a penny, just send a few officials, if the time is longer, Zhu Youzhen can also accept it.

Of course, the current Suvay province is still under military management, and there is very little expenditure on official affairs, except for a limited number of officials, there is no need to bear heavy military expenses at all.

The military expenditure was paid by the imperial court, but there was basically no loss to the imperial court, the two thousand soldiers were originally the powder keg of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen just used the method of diversion and immigration, and gradually dismantled the fuse of these bombs, and after a few years, the two thousand soldiers will be transformed into police, and the imperial court will no longer need to pay military expenses.

As for the South China Sea Fleet guarding Suvay Province, it was for the future of the Ming Dynasty and the maritime trade routes, even without Suvay Province, the fleet was still there, and the imperial court did not add additional expenditures.

"Your Majesty, the five-year tax exemption is unheard of, and it is unfair to other provinces." I heard that Suvay Province has been tax-free for five years, and the Minister of Taxation, Huang Shijun, has quit, and the Ming Dynasty has expanded its territory, and it should increase tax revenue, all of which are tax-free, so what is the use of these lands?

"Since ancient times, Suvay Province has been a weak country and poor people, coupled with the exploitation of Westerners, the people have long been miserable, even if the people get tax exemptions, they are still much poorer than the people in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, so I gave a five-year recuperation period, and the story of killing chickens and eggs, Aiqing have heard of it, right?"

"This ......" Huang Shijun was speechless for a while, he didn't know the specific situation of the people in Suvay Province at all.

"Huang Aiqing doesn't have to worry about other provinces following suit," Zhu Youzhen didn't care what Huang Shijun wanted to say, "The current Suwei Province doesn't need the Ming Dynasty to put in the silver taels, for example, what if it is recovered in five years at night?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees to the five-year tax exemption." Cabinet Premier Huang Liji stood up, he has understood what Zhu Youzhen meant, Suwei Province was not originally the land of the Ming Dynasty, tax exemption has no loss to the imperial court, through five years of sinicization, the island should have a certain foundation, when the time comes, if the imperial court can free up its hands, and then immigrate to Suwei Province, in one fell swoop, Suwei Province, at that time, only to really become a province of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Liji's support made the cabinet ministers collectively dumbfounded, and Zhu Youzhen saw that there was no opposition in the court, so he said to Zhang Ding: "Zhang Aiqing is still the fourth product now, right?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is the fourth grade!" Zhang Ding chuckled in his heart, from the governor of the fourth grade to the second grade, he suddenly rose four levels, which is too rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty, he originally just asked to go to Suwei Province to serve as a prefect, but he didn't expect Zhu Youzhen to directly appoint him as the governor.

"The current governor of Suwei Province, but Zheng Erpin, has been promoted so much at once, how does Zhang Aiqing plan to repay the imperial court?" Zhu Youzhen really came for Zhang Ding's grade.

"Your Majesty, the minister must do his best to change the land in Suvay Province within five years." Zhang Ding "poofed" and knelt down in the lobby, not daring to come out, and his head fell to the ground.

Zhu Youzhen felt that the atmosphere was a little solemn, and he soothed his tone, "I don't care too much about whether the land reform can be completed within five years, Aiqing must determine specific countermeasures according to the actual situation of the local people, and don't use too much force in everything." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister understands." Zhang Ding was still prostrate on the ground.

"What I am most concerned about is the problem of greed for ink, don't think that Sauvelle Province is far overseas, I will be blinded by it, Sauver Province is still Daming Suvay Province, and Daming's "Anti-Corruption Law" is still valid in Suvay Province."

"The minister must live up to His Majesty's trust, be strict with himself, and be a good example for all the officials in Suvay Province." Zhang Ding kowtowed again and again to show his determination.

"Get up, Aiqing doesn't have to be too nervous, this is not my special request to Aiqing, but a unanimous request to all officials in the Ming Dynasty," Zhu Youzhen quickly glanced at the ministers, "It's just that you are in charge of Suwei Province for the first time, don't be unable to control it in the face of a large amount of taxes, I still trust you." ”

"The minister understands, and the minister obeys His Majesty's teachings." Zhang Ding got up from the ground, didn't even dare to wipe the dust off his forehead, and hid behind the ministers with a smoke.

Zhu Youzhen's gaze turned to the map again, "The Malacca waterway is the only sea passage for the exchange between the East and the West, which can be called the throat place, Zheng He set up the largest trade warehouse in Malacca, and in the future, the porcelain, tea, silk, etc. of the Ming Dynasty will be sold to the West, and they must pass through Malacca, and now the South China Sea Fleet has completely controlled Malacca, you Aiqing said, how will the imperial court manage Malacca in the future?" ”

"Your Majesty, since Malacca is so important to the Ming Dynasty, should the South China Sea Fleet establish a base here and garrison it all year round?" Li Chunye had long known about Zhu Youzhen's plan for the surrounding situation, and he was the first to speak out in support of Zhu Youzhen.

"What Aiqing said is very true, since Malacca is an indispensable choke point of the Ming Dynasty, the South China Sea Fleet will naturally be stationed here," Zhu Youzhen set the tone for Malacca before the courtiers spoke, "It's just that Zheng Zhilong is a soldier, he will only operate the South China Sea Fleet, but he will not manage the land and people on both sides of Malacca, and there is also a large number of local people killed by the remnants of Donghu, fortunately, the marines arrived in time to exterminate the remnants of Donghu and save the local people, and now the local people are grateful to the South China Sea Fleet." ”

Zhu Youzhen's words are already very clear, that is, the current Malacca, the army and the people have become one, and it should be better managed than Su Wei, thinking of this, Huang Shijun came out of the class and played: "Since the local people welcome the army of the Ming Dynasty, why don't Your Majesty take the opportunity to establish a province here and naturalize the local people as soon as possible?" ”

Huang Shijun's words can be regarded as a kind of compensation for opposing Zhu Youzhen just now, Zhu Youzhen was secretly happy in his heart, but his face did not show surprise, "Huang Aiqing's words are in line with my intentions, now the people of Malacca have returned to their hearts, according to Zheng Zhilong's military newspaper, near Malacca, the people are vying to enter the Han nationality, and it is the best time for the Ming Dynasty to enter Malacca." ”

"Your Majesty, my South China Sea Fleet has just entered Malacca, and the local people are vying to become Han nationals, is Zheng Zhilong's words too much?" Qiao Yunsheng raised his own questions.

"Qiao Aiqing doesn't know," Zhu Youzhen briefly said about the disaster in the Jilunhai and the Malay Peninsula, "The disaster in the Jilunhai Sea, and the local people mistakenly thought that Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Xing were the descendants of Zheng He back then, so the people rushed to return to their hearts. ”

"Ao," Qiao Yunsheng seemed to be a little unconvinced, "Your Majesty, how many people are vying to join the Han nationality?" ”

"According to Zheng Zhilong's report, near the city of Malacca, the local people were frightened by the Portuguese disaster, and no less than eighty percent of the people joined the Han nationality, and the rest of the people in the north joined the Han nationality at least fifty percent."

"Your Majesty," Li Chunye held the map in his hand, "If Malacca is included in the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be connected with Myanmar Province?" ”
