If they are allowed to relocate their slaves, they will be grateful to Dade, and it will be very beneficial to the court and the emperor's reputation, and they are low, they are even more diligent and conscientious in their work, for fear that this hard-won life will sometimes become a bubble, and it will also be of great benefit to the development of slaves As for the impact on the local area, except for fewer prostitutes, it is not a big problem, these untouchables are not given land, they all live in the wilderness, in the mountains by the river, and the relocation has no impact on the local area.

However, he could not help but have many concerns.

One of the most important is called the ancestral system.

These people were designated as untouchables by Hong Wuye, if they brought it up by themselves, wouldn't it be against the will of their ancestors? And many people think about this.

Thinking about the civil officials who scooped up their ancestors' family law all day long and talked about things, they would definitely be energetic and jump in front of them after hearing the news, Zhengde was upset for a while.

Zhengde glanced at Lian Zining, and his heart moved, this Lian Zining has always had a lot of ideas, and it depends on what he says.

He rolled his eyelids and asked, "Lian Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Lian Zining was carefully observing the emperor's expression, and the subtle changes in Emperor Zhengde's expression were all in his eyes, and he had a draft in his heart.

For this suggestion, he was actually very happy in his heart, but his face was pulled into a bitter gourd face, and he smiled bitterly: "Holy Lord, if you let Weichen speak from your heart, I really don't want these people!" ”

"These untouchables are the remnants of the former thieves and thieves, and the unruly, fierce and rebellious ones in their bones cannot be eliminated. In addition, all these years have been a cheap servant, and I am afraid that my temperament has become very gloomy and heavy, and I am not inferior, so I am afraid that it will be a curse and not a blessing for me! ”

Zai said apologetically: "His Royal Highness the King of the Valley, the lower officials are not criticizing you. ”

Zhu Zai glared: "Uncle Wu Yi, if my father does not allow me to rebuild the Yin'an Palace because of your words, the errand of collecting the fifteen-zhang long tree will have to fall on you!" ”

There was a smile on his face, obviously a joke, not really angry.

Lian Zining's understanding of this prince has a deeper level, obviously, he is not without scheming, in front of Zhengde, he is bold but not violent, direct and not wooden.

He hurriedly responded with a smile: "There is nothing else in the jurisdiction of Weichen, but there are deep mountains and old forests, not to mention fifteen-zhang long big trees, even giant trees that are twice as long, and they are also everywhere." ”

But this is not a lie, the Northeast has not been developed for so many years, and the deep mountains and old forests are simply everywhere, or in other words, the settlements in the Northeast are actually cut down trees and set on fire, and the forest coverage rate outside the entire Guanwai is more than 50% in this era! And these primeval forests, I don't know that they have grown for tens of thousands of years, the ancient trees are towering, and all kinds of big trees are naturally because there are everything.

"What, you hate these pariahs?" Emperor Zhengde narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lian Zining heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, he sighed, pretended to be reluctant, knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply: "Your Majesty, after Weichen goes back, he will go to the fold, please move 1.5 million untouchables to the south of Songhua Jiangnan!" ”

Zhengde smiled: "Okay, good, Lian Aiqing really has a deep heart, get up!" ”

Lian Zining did this, so he pulled the spearhead at himself, he was the one who wanted to move the untouchables, and he was the one who wanted to change the ancestral system, not Zhengde, which was the same as pulling hatred, the spearhead of the courtiers would turn to him, and Zhengde would have less trouble.

Seeing Lian Zining so upright, Zhengde was naturally happy.

Lian Zining sat down, and Zhengde asked about his third strategy, Zhengde is still very unfamiliar with the word industry. …,

Lian Zining explained in detail: "The so-called industry actually refers to the workshop, but the scale of this workshop is larger, for example, the Ordnance Bureau under our Ministry of War, even if it is the category of industry." The industrial zone can be understood as a gathering area of many workshops. The reason why Weichen wants to establish an industry in Xishenwei is because these days there, he sent people to reconnoiter everywhere and found a large number of copper and iron needs, all of which are excellent fine needs, and the reserves are extremely rich, and even some on the ground, you can see large pieces of pure stones, plus there are many nearby forests, and there are also coal needs, so that it has the production conditions to become an industrial area. ”

"The reason why the minister built the industrial zone is for the military, to put it bluntly, for the military."

When it came to the military, Zhengde's expression became solemn, and he listened to Lian Zining say carefully: "General Songhuajiang's jurisdiction originally had 19 guards and 27 guards, if it was full, it would be 137,450 members, but now, the Wu Yi army under his subordinates is only more than 14,000 people, which is really shabby, only one-tenth of the full amount. Therefore, it is imperative to expand the army. The Songhua River is too far away from the Guannai, those weapons and armor, swords, guns and firearms, and even small utensils such as saddles and horses need to be transported from the Guannai, the mountains are high and the road is far away, thousands of miles away, it is really a great harm to the country and the people, so the minister thought, simply recruit craftsmen, build various workshops there, and build weapons on the spot. ”

"In fact, Weichen also has an idea that these weapons can be created not only for their own use, but also for the use of other generals' jurisdictions, and next year the Holy Lord will send a large army to attack the Jurchens again, and it is necessary to fight slowly and slowly, in that case, the consumption of various materials is very huge, if there is Xishenwei as a base, it will avoid the pain of transportation in the customs, it will greatly reduce the cost and reduce the burden on the court."

Lian Zining, who listened to Zhengde, thought about it so thoroughly, and even thought of next year's Northern Expedition, nodded again and again, and said: "That's right, this one, I'm right!" ”

"Weichen takes the order!" Lian Zining got up again and saluted, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, that Weichen can ask you for a will to recruit craftsmen and others to rush to Liaodong, so that some people will not chew their tongues." ”

Zhengde was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and shook his head disappretently: "Chewing your tongue? You're thinking too much about it! ”

He definitely didn't link Lian Zining's actions with the conspiracy, in fact, in the Ming Dynasty, except for the decline in control in the later period of Chongzhen, which caused many generals to be proud, at other times, the control of military generals was very great. It's the border general, and he also said that he would kill him, afraid that you would rebel? Joke! What did those supervisory bodies of the Ming Dynasty do?

Lian Zining smiled: "Are you prepared?" ”

He added, "The Holy Wechen has another request. This time I came back, I came to ask you for money. ”

"Money?" Zhengde pointed at him unsurprisingly: "I'm waiting for your words!" ”

Managing the court to ask for money is an important purpose of Lian Zining's return to Beijing this time, almost all the expenses of Wu Yijun before him were supported by him alone, and the money given by the court is less than 30%. At the beginning, Wu Yijun was a small group, and coupled with Dai Zhangpu's relationship, it couldn't attract the attention of Jinyiwei and other supervision agencies, so it was okay to do this, but now it can't. If you are caught in this area, it will definitely be a big crime - what do you want to do to feed the army yourself?

But fortunately, they want to go far away from the Songhua River, and some things are not something they can see if they want to.

He did this precisely to get rid of himself, and the second reason is also, the advantage of the imperial court, don't take advantage of nothing, don't you? If you can get a little more money from the court, won't you save money? …,

"Anyway, how much does it cost?" Zhengde squinted at Lian Zining, like looking at a thief who was plotting to rob his family wealth.

"Holy Lord, you also know that the Wu Yi Army is well-equipped and has a lot of firearms, which is also an important reason why the minister can achieve victory in the Northeast Battlefield. The scale of Wu Yi's army before the minister was small, only thousands, and with the land of the six counties as a support, he could also reap a lot of benefits, so he could barely support it. But now it's different, there are more people, and there will be more in the future, so ......" Lian Zining calculated, and smiled: "Weichen has the courage to ask the emperor for one million taels of silver to support a year." ”

"A million, you really dare to speak!" When Zhengde heard this, he was immediately a little displeased, the nine governors in the land of the nine sides, the total annual military salary is only 15 million taels of silver, 10 million stones of rice and grain, and even Zining has so much to choose from the jurisdiction of General Songhuajiang.

Lian Zining said with a bitter face: "Weichen has already counted, to settle the untouchables, to prepare for war, to open a factory, without a million taels, I really can't scoop it down!" ”

After some haggling, both sides took a step back and finally decided on a share of 800,000 taels.

Since the business was over, Lian Zining didn't dare to stay here longer, so he offered to leave.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhengde glanced at him and asked lightly, "Then Fu Yuwei, what's going on?" ”

Lian Zining's whole person froze, and then he knelt on the ground and said, "Minister, minister, there is nothing to say......

At this moment in his heart, it was false to say that he was not nervous, he knew that it was impossible for him to hide this big thing, and Jinyiwei was not a vegetarian.

And Duoyan Sanwei is a thorn in the emperor's heart, a field that no one dares to touch, this time he borrowed troops to benefit Yuwei, saying that if it is big, it is a foreign country, and if it is small, it is also touching the emperor's heart. If it weren't for the fact that the situation at that time was really unsupportable, Lian Zining really didn't want to touch it.

For this question, he has long been mentally prepared. But if you are mentally prepared, you are mentally prepared, and if you can't do it, it's in vain, he is not a saint after all, he can only understand Zhengde's character, but he can't guess what he will do. Lian Zining thought about it for a long time and didn't think of a foolproof solution, so he had to bite the bullet and prepare to take one step at a time.

Lian Zining knelt on the ground, a layer of dense sweat oozed from his back, and sweat also fell down on his forehead, falling on the shiny gold bricks.

The air in the Dongnuan Pavilion was almost stagnant, and no one dared to gasp for breath, even Zhu Zai lowered his head, looked at his nose and nose, and clearly did not dare to get involved in this matter.

Zhengde looked at Lian Zining coldly, and the expression on his face was slightly soothed when he saw his unconcealable nervousness and fear

A few.

"Bastard!" Zhengde slapped the dragon case suddenly, and suddenly everyone in the hall was trembling, only to hear Zhengde say angrily: "You also know that you are afraid? Do you also know convergence? I thought I didn't know what you did in the Northeast, but you were bold! How daring! ”

"Wechen is guilty, Wechen is guilty!" Lian Zining just knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

"Now that I know I'm afraid, why didn't I think of today when I did it?" Zhengde sneered.

Lian Zining didn't speak, just kowtowed vigorously, and after a while, blood was already oozing from his forehead, Zhengde saw it, snorted coldly, and waved his hand: "Okay, get out!" Not an example! ”

Lian Zining's heart was full of resentment, and if it weren't for the fact that you didn't know people, if it wasn't for the defeat of the Northern Expeditionary Army, if it wasn't for the other guards who stood by, why would I go to ask Fu Yuwei's rescuers? He is a modern person, so naturally he has no reverence for the imperial power of this era. If it is a person in this era, even if he is scolded by Zhengde like this, he will definitely not have the slightest complaint, but will find his own reasons. In my heart, I would never dare to be disrespectful to the emperor. …,

The so-called thunder and rain are all Jun'en, but that's it.

But Lian Zining is different, his mentality at this time is more like an employee who has made outstanding achievements but has been reprimanded by his boss, and his heart is naturally very uncomfortable.

In his heart, he didn't feel that the emperor was nobler than himself. This mentality of looking at each other on an equal footing made him feel more calm.

His face was full of panic and gratitude at this time, and he slammed his head a few times, and the blood dripped on the gold bricks: "The minister thanks the saint for not killing the grace, the minister is grateful, he must be conscientious, and he will never dare to do it again!" ”

"Alright, get up!" Zhengde's voice raised slightly.

Lian Zining hurriedly stood up, and Zhengde glanced at him: "Stand down!" ”

"Yes, Weichen retires!" Lian Zining's heart was relieved, knowing that this level had passed, he snorted and said respectfully.

"By the way, there's one more thing!" Zhengde stopped Lian Zining again: "After I go back, bring some big trees to me, at least twenty zhang long, my palace is too small, and I am embarrassed to live in it." If I want to build a big palace in Beihaizi, I need a lot of big wood. Write about it! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lian Zining hurriedly bowed his head and responded.

Walking out of the Qianqing Palace, Lian Zining wiped the blood on his forehead, and walked out quickly with a happy smile on his face for the rest of his life.

A little eunuch quietly walked into the Qianqing Palace and whispered a few words in Lin Xiongqi's ear, and Lin Xiongqi whispered to Zhengde again.

A slight smile appeared on Zhengde's gloomy face: "It's good to be obedient, it's good to be obedient!" ”

Out of the Forbidden City, Lian Zining's face immediately turned cold, and he sneered in his heart, this is, thunder and rain and dew, is it all Jun'en?

Hum!
