Chapter 185: Xiaotian's Reform (II)
The reason why the vassal kings are all rice worms is, to a large extent, forced by the imperial court. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info not to mention participating in politics, normal work, the court will not allow you to do it. Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention of setting up the vassal king was originally to shield the court and jointly protect the national unity, but with Zhu Di's example in front, these clansmen were all restricted.
Even if Jiajing is a bull with a lot of political talent, if it weren't for Zhengde and having no son, if he came to be the emperor, I am afraid that he would be an alchemy cultivator for the rest of his life, and the life of a rice worm.
Xiao Tian believes that there must be people who are willing to be rice worms, but there must not be too many, he believes that the vast majority of clan relatives in the world have a strong ambition to do a career. It's just that the general environment is like this, and they have to be rice worms.
Since the general environment does not allow them to do anything in Daming, why not just follow Xiaotian to the sea together?
A vassal king, not to mention hundreds of families, thousands of guards, and the king of the county must have 1,800 people, these people are moths in the Ming Dynasty, but if they are placed overseas, this is an excellent colonist!
Now that the sea breeze of the Ming Dynasty has been blown up by Xiaotian, people with a little vision can see that even ordinary people, as long as they are a little more open, it is possible to make a fortune when they go to sea, not to mention these royal relatives?
Think about it, these vassal kings are controlled everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, they are followed by Jinyi guards when they go out, and they have to report to the Ministry of Rites when they marry a wife, they can't do anything except eat, drink and have fun, and they are raised like breeding pigs all day long, how many people are willing?
But as long as you go to sea and build a small town, it won't be too easy! When the time comes, he will be the emperor of the soil overseas, and he can do whatever he wants, and the court whip is beyond his reach, and he can't manage it if he wants to. Wouldn't such a life be much more meaningful than being a rice worm?
Xiao Tian proposed that as long as the clan relatives gave up their own rice, the imperial court would allow them to go to sea. Everything is escorted by Xiaotian and guaranteed to be properly arranged, and other forces want to go to sea, they are gambling with their lives, and these people are happy to go to sea.
In addition, they are also allowed to use the land in the Ming Dynasty to replace the land overseas, and the ratio reaches an astonishing 1 to 10, that is to say, in the Ming Dynasty, there are 100 hectares of clan relatives, and when they go overseas, Xiaotian will set aside 1,000 hectares for you.
Not only that, Xiaotian also supported them to open factories, all kinds of support are available, and all kinds of weapons are also available to your government soldiers, who has the ability to expand the territory, as long as it is a foreigner who kills, the court does not care, and the occupied territory Xiaotian will also give you protection.
At first glance, this proposal seems ridiculous, but when you think about it, you think it is very feasible. If this is done, it will be tantamount to letting go of the shackles of the imperial court and the vassal king at the same time. Not only will the clansmen no longer waste national funds, but on the contrary, they will create huge benefits for the Ming Dynasty, which can be said to be a happy situation.
The most important thing is that whether the vassal king goes to sea or not, everything is voluntary, and there is no backlash or boycott.
In addition, these lands exchanged by the clansmen can also be disposed of to the people at a low price in large quantities, which can not only increase income, but also alleviate land annexation, and also show the benevolence of the court by the way, why not?
As for whether the clan relatives will get out of control overseas, the imperial court is actually not particularly worried. In the eyes of the imperial court, the places where Xiao Tian fought overseas are all enclaves, which are beyond the reach of the whip, and they are not in their hands at all, what is there to control or not, it is better to control it in the hands of the clan relatives than to control it in the hands of Xiao Tian, so we are also relatives.
As for whether there will be vassal kings who have developed well overseas and come back to rebel, the court believes that there should be no such idiots.
From the moment they went to sea, it was actually equivalent to giving up their identity as clansmen and coming back to rebel, no different from ordinary pirates. Moreover, the imperial court has long been determined to form a navy.
These clan relatives go to sea, almost immediately can solve Xiaotian's current situation of serious shortage of manpower, although these feudal king's soldiers have no combat effectiveness, but they are also soldiers, better than the monkeys in the South Seas. And there is another benefit, that is, it can form a counterbalance to Xiaotian.
No matter how loyal Xiao Tian is, it must be admitted that his current power is too great, to the point that it is impossible for the imperial court to have no concerns about him.
Xiao Tian believes that sooner or later, the imperial court will come up with various ways to contain him, and he will definitely find a way to dilute his absolute right to speak overseas, and then try all kinds of ways to fool him into the capital and send others to pick peaches overseas.
Xiaotian is a sensible person, you don't need to mention it, I guess you must be embarrassed to mention it, master, I will mention it myself.
The imperial court is afraid of the clan relatives, mainly because they are afraid of rebellion, but compared to outsiders, the clan relatives are always much more reliable than the ministers. If one day the clan relatives become the main force of overseas colonization, once Xiao Tian has any bad thoughts about Daming, these clan relatives will not be the first to agree.
I have to say that this is a good proposal for everyone, the court must rely on Xiaotian, Xiaotian must rely on the clan, and the foundation of the clan is the court, and the three are set together, and no one can do without anyone.
Jiajing and the bigwigs attached great importance to Xiaotian's proposal, and a good year-end meeting to report the budget was mixed up by his edict, and it turned into a feasibility discussion of this reform.
In the end, there was a consensus that this would work.
Of course, it is feasible and feasible, but what Xiao Tian mentioned is only a general direction, and how to implement it still needs to be discussed in the long run, and such a big policy naturally needs to be carefully crafted. If a draft can be drawn up in three months or two months, the cabinet will be considered efficient.
Jiajing decreed that the reform plan was drafted by Xiaotian and the cabinet together, and demanded that there must be no rush and stability. Such a big policy is not afraid of slowness, but afraid of mistakes.
Get.. Now I have to stay in the capital for a little longer, and it is estimated that Lu Rui must be happy.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Xiaotian couldn't wait to see his wife Lu Rui, and the two reunited after a long absence, so naturally they had endless things to say.
Fortunately, Lu Rui is more knowledgeable, unlike Li Yan, who didn't give Xiaotian any moths. The two reunited after a long absence, and at this time, Xiao Tian looked at Lu Rui and only felt that it was extraordinarily beautiful, and the two complained to each other and said thoughtful words.
It's just that Lu Rui is so beautiful, it was originally a reunion after a long absence, and I can't think about it, plus Xiaotian has really never seen anyone more beautiful than Lu Rui for more than a year, although it is his wife, he still can't control it.
didn't say a word, Xiao Tian couldn't hold back the enthusiasm in his heart, and as soon as he threw it on the bed, he was about to pick up the gun and get on the horse.
Lu Rui hurriedly pushed him away and said, "You're crazy!" In broad daylight, people hear how bad it is.
Xiao Bisheng is newly married, where is Xiao Tian willing to follow, and said: "It's okay, let's be quiet, they can't hear it, I sleep with my own wife, I see who dares to chew the tongue."
Lu Rui said: "Don't be, Ping'er is still in the back room." ”
Xiao Tiandao: "It's okay, don't care about her, isn't she our maid, you still said to give him to me, why are you still shy now."
Lu Rui said: "Don't, help"
Xiao Tiandao: "It's useless to beg for mercy, today I want the overlord to take the bow, I know that your martial arts are powerful, don't resist!" (To be continued.) )
