"It's good to come back safely," looking at Zheng Anwen, who had lost a lot of weight in front of him, Zheng Kezang showed a satisfied look in his eyes. "Let's talk about it, what are your thoughts on North Korea along the way?"
Zheng Anwen replied with some emotion: "Daddy, what do you say? It can only be described as full of emotion. ”
Zheng Kezhang listened quietly, and listened to Zheng Anwen carefully tell him where he had traveled along the way and who he had come into contact with, and finally concluded: "The Korean people are suffering, the poor can't get enough to eat, and the township classes are also poor. ”
Zheng Kezhang didn't make any comments on this, but asked, "Have you ever considered the crux of the problem?" ”
Zheng Anwen hit the nail on the head and said: "It is the land system and the tax system that have a big problem, the high-ranking nobles often own thousands of hectares of fertile land but do not pay national taxes, and the yeoman farmers only have a little land but have to bear the taxes of the whole country, so they continue to go bankrupt and become two classes of tenants, which in turn deepens the financial crisis of North Korea, if it is not for the fact that this dynasty spends money on mining in North Korea and fills the gap in North Korea, otherwise (North Korea) turmoil is a matter of time." ”
Zheng Kezhang shook his head: "Shun Guan, you are only afraid that you will understand it wrong." ”
Seeing Zheng Anwen's puzzled look, Zheng Kezhang walked to the "Map of the World" hanging in the study, and pointed: "The situation in North Korea is actually the same as that of China, and even the same as that of the countries under heaven, it is nothing more than a land annexation, and the poor have no place to stand, but have you thought about it, if there is an infinite frontier that can give these poor people a peaceful life and work, then there will be the turmoil you mentioned?" This is why the Taixi countries immigrated to the new big 6, which is why the current dynasty advanced to the sea 6 and expanded to the land that the previous dynasties thought was barbaric. Looking back on history, if it weren't for the outward expansion again and again, our ancestors would still be living on both sides of the Yellow River, and perhaps they would have been annexed by foreign races, but there would still be this central country. ”
Zheng Anwen's expression suddenly brightened, but then there was a decadence: "Daddy is right, why do the Korean people often cross the border to reclaim, the reason is also to survive, it's just that North Korea faces the sea on three sides, and borders on the DPRK on one side, and there is no place for expansion, how can there be an infinite frontier to settle the common people." ”
Zheng Kezhang smiled: "Didn't my son see someone selling himself as a slave on the way?" Yes, North Korea is the descendants of Yin Shang, and also the descendants of the Miao of our Chinese ethnic groups, although today it is a single country and cannot be integrated with China, but its people are easier to naturalize, so the court waits for its self-redemption and puts it in the borderland, and after one or two generations, it will be the Han people. For Korea, it was a win-win situation to alleviate the internal troubles and consolidate the frontier for the imperial court. ”
Zheng Anwen was puzzled, he always felt that there were some problems with Zheng Kezang's explanation, but due to experience, he didn't know what the problem was, so he had to pick a place that he thought might be wrong and asked: "Daddy, the country is newly unified, and all parts of the country are in ruins, and there is indeed a lack of people, but if the population breeds after thirty or fifty years, do you still need to naturalize Korean immigrants?" ”
"This is an era of Destiny expansion." Zheng Kezang replied sternly. "The strong may become weak, the weak may become strong, and if we do not want to miss the opportunity, this dynasty must continue to expand over the next three hundred years to meet the needs of future generations."
This kind of prophecy-like prophecy made Zheng Anwen a little creepy, and Zheng Kezhang himself didn't seem to like such words, so he quickly changed the subject: "Shun Guan, you said that you have seen the officials and soldiers of North Korea, how do you think of it compared to this dynasty?" ”
"Compared with the current system of divisions, brigades, regiments, sentinels, teams, and squads in our DPRK, the DPRK has a very tight watch over military power, so its battalions are the same as those set up by our DPRK, and the battalions are under the command of all the battalions of our DPRK, and the battalions are mainly fought by an army of 500 people.
Zheng Anwen introduced the major of the graduates of the military academy: "The advantages and disadvantages of this system, the sons and daughters are just looking at the flowers, so they dare not comment on it, but since the DPRK uses it, I am afraid that it is in line with the national conditions of the DPRK's narrow territory and the inappropriate deployment of a large army." As for the ordnance it is equipped with, from swords and guns to guns, it is imported from China, and it is as sophisticated as it is. And there are many training officers sent by the dynasty in his army, and if you think about it, the combat strength can also be guaranteed. ”
"It's just superficial." Zheng Kezang, however, was not optimistic about the strength of the North Korean army. "If North Korea still uses two classes of Gaomen as generals, the Xian army will collapse sooner or later. As for the current North Korean New Deal, it is the same, on the surface, it is copied from the system of our DPRK, but talented officials cannot be promoted, and those Confucian students alone can govern the country well? Dong Shi just imitates! Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang asked seemingly casually. If you were a Shun official, what would you do? ”
"Erchen thinks that he wants to open a school." Zheng Anwen thought about it for a long time along the way, and when he heard Zheng Kezhang ask, he asked and confessed. "The so-called New Deal also needs new people to carry it out, so there must be enough talent. Second, it is necessary to emancipate public and private slaves and abolition the untouchability system in order to ease the contradictions between the upper and lower levels. Third, roads should be built to facilitate trade. Fourth, it is necessary to adjust the tax rate ??????"
Zheng Kezhang listened quietly, and waited until Zheng Anwen finished speaking, then he poured a basin of cold water on his head and face: "Nonsense!" ”
The things he painstakingly figured out were said to be worthless by his father, Zheng Anwen suddenly became a little anxious, and then heard Zheng Kezhang say: "My son, Daddy sues you, don't look at you as the prince of Huaxia, but if you really want to do this in North Korea, I'm afraid that Daddy and your mother will never see you again." ”
Zheng Anwen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Daddy, do you mean that the North Koreans will kill the king?" ”
"You represent the majesty of Huaxia, so these two classes of nobles don't dare to come openly, but it's hard to say that they don't dare to die violently." Zheng Kezhang patted Zheng Anwen on the shoulder. "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, if I am in your position, the first thing I have to do is to follow the Chinese system and change the title of Joseon."
At present, North Korea only has a first-class title, that is, "Jun", generally speaking, "Jun" is given to the children of the clan, but civil and military officials can also be named "Jun", which can be said to be both simple and chaotic, in line with the external characteristics of Confucianism.
"Change the title of Joseon?" Zheng Anwen pondered. "What does Daddy mean?"
"Changing the Korean title will naturally be a blessing to the public, so that you can gain a firm foothold in North Korea," Mr. Zheng explained. "And it's up to you who you want to give and what title you want, so you can make a deal with your courtiers and get them to support the policies you propose."
Zheng Anwen was puzzled: "Make a deal with the courtiers? Isn't this a bit ridiculous? ”
Zheng Kezhang sneered: "I don't think it's ridiculous at all, after all, North Korea is not as good as Huaxia, which has been captive for many years, and you are not as good as me being able to say anything, when the power and influence of your subordinates exceed that of the lord, you must first soften your body, cater to them, divide them, and finally rule them." ”
Zheng Anwen complained in a low voice: "I knew that the Korean monarchy was weak, why should my son inherit the throne of Joseon, it is better to show up in the army, even if it is not based on the identity of the prince, the son can at least be a captain." ”
Zheng Kezhang narrowed his eyes and thought about it: "Your inheritance to the throne of North Korea is your mother's thoughts, don't let her down." But since you think that intrigue is not in your temperament, I will not let your children and grandchildren suffer this sin, and I can arrange for them to return to Huaxia to become a clan at that time, I don't know what you think? ”
Zheng Anwen looked at Zheng Kezhang a little at a loss, he didn't know what kind of medicine Zheng Kezhang was selling in the gourd, at this time, he listened to Zheng Kezhang continue: "I will arrange for you to let a few uncles and other Korean clans marry their daughters to Changsha County Duke, Liuguo Gong and several other brothers of yours, no matter who inherits the Huaxia throne in the future, the son born to him and the Korean clan woman will inherit the Joseon throne, and the generations will be like this, only a certain generation of the Chinese emperor and the Korean clan daughter have no heirs or this son must inherit the Huaxia throne, Only then will your descendants be replaced by the kings of Joseon. ”
Zheng An looked at Zheng Kezhang dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer, seeing his son's stupid appearance, Zheng Kezhang laughed and said, "Why don't you want to?" Well, I know your mind is very confused, and go back and think about it, I will wait for your answer, but don't tell your aunt or anyone else, think for yourself; Second, next year I will summon your grandfather to discuss his abdication, and before that, you must tell me your decision. ”
After saying this, Zheng Kezang waved his hand: "Would you rather be a chicken than a cow, or rather be a big country than the king of a small country, it's good to think about it." Your grandmother has been worried about your anxiety for most of the past six months, and she has gone to see it to make her feel at ease. ”
Zheng Anwen retreated obediently, looking at his son's back, Zheng Kezhang smiled faintly, there is nothing wrong with inheriting the Joseon throne, but if he does not inherit, Zheng Kezhang will also arrange for him to take another new place to establish his own business.
"Holy." Zheng Kezhang was still thinking about the scene of the Zheng clan's kingdom all over the world, and the inner attendant appeared in front of him quietly. "Lord Deng of the Supervision Yuan handed over a sign outside the palace and asked to see him."
The so-called Lord Deng of the Supervision Yuan is naturally Deng Lincai, the head of the Supervision Yuan, but what big case does it require the first person in the supervision system at the same level as the prime minister? Zheng Kezang's brows twisted involuntarily.
"As soon as this black-faced Bao Gong comes, the world will not be peaceful." Having said that, Zheng Kezhang still ordered. "Xuan!"
"Minister, see the Holy Lord." After Zheng Kezhang gave the seat, Deng Lincai took out a bullet badge from his sleeve and handed it over. "The Supervision Yuan impeached Lin Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Xu Qing, the minister of the Governor's Yamen Association, Gong Tian, the commander of the Western Naval Division, Li Xue, the capital of Lingyamen, and Niu Mingli, the envoy of Tianzhu Town, and Niu Mingli, the envoy of Tianzhu Town, ??????"
