Chapter 865: Liao

Out of Tongguan, through Henan, from Hebei to the north, passing through Henan when Li You also asked people to inquire about the situation of the Fu King, the Fu King was given a large amount of land because he was favored by the Wanli Emperor, Wanli 42 years on Luoyang, 20,000 hectares of Zhuang Tian, salt to lead a thousand, for the Ming Dynasty finances that were not very rich and added a heavy burden.

The policy of the Ming Dynasty towards the vassal kings can be described as wonderful, in order to prevent these vassal kings from making trouble, not letting them be officials, not letting them lead troops, not allowing them to do business, and even the city can not be casually raised, basically this group of people is raised as pigs, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not seem to think that the fertility of these vassal kings is so strong, and it is not uncommon for more than 100 descendants to be among the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, and these people also need the imperial court to supply them with money, with the increasing number of Ming clans, The cost of supplying them has gradually become too much for the Ming court to bear.

This is also a problem to be solved, Li You sighed lightly, at the end of the dynasty, after hundreds of years of accumulation, even if it was a small problem at the beginning of the founding of the country, it would have extremely serious consequences, and by this time, there were countless people who benefited from these problems, forming a huge interest group, and if they wanted to make changes, they would usher in their resolute counterattack; The clan problem is one of them, and it is not the most serious.

Along the way, Li You's eyes were full of the decadent image of the end of the dynasty, the clan, the gentry, the officials, the wealthy merchants, etc., the exploitation of the common people day by day, the court taxes, envy, land rent, official exploitation, usury...... They use all kinds of means to take away the last grain from the mouths of the people, even if there is no Dongyu, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will not last long.

Don't the gentry see these questions clearly? They are not fools, of course they can see it clearly, but they still have nothing to fear, because in their opinion, even if the world is turbulent and someone rises up to overthrow Zhu Ming's rule and establish a new dynasty, the emperor of the new dynasty still has to rely on them as gentry to rule the world, and it will not touch their fundamental interests, and maybe they can also take this opportunity to make their family stronger and stronger.

It's a pity that they didn't seem to expect that Li Zicheng and Jiannu would treat them so harshly in the future, and after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he severely tortured them and wiped out all the money they had been corrupt for many years; And after Jiannu entered the customs, they stook their land and turned their land into the property of the Eight Banners, I don't know if they regretted what they did at that time.

No wonder Hu Fu gave himself fifteen years, it is easy to solve the problems of Jiannu and the displaced people, but it is much more difficult to solve these problems, to some extent, this is even more difficult than rebuilding the new dynasty, and Zhu Youzhen's position wants to make some changes is far more difficult than Li Zicheng, fifteen years is too short.

With all kinds of emotion, Li You finally returned to the capital after a long absence, Han Yi led the civil and military officials to welcome out dozens of miles away, in order to welcome Li You back with a victory, Han You and those officials who should not have moved when Li You left Beijing showed apprehension, Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing and others were happy, since His Majesty returned to Beijing, then their hard work can be rewarded.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." After boasting about Li You's martial arts, Han Yi led his ministers to worship the mountain and shout long live, and welcomed Li You into the palace of the capital.

When they arrived in the Qianqing Palace, the ministers talked about their plans for the celebration after this great victory, "Your Majesty, this is the first major victory of my Ming Dynasty in a hundred years. But as soon as these questions were mentioned, Han Yi and the others were puzzled, why didn't they see those prisoners of Jiannu in the team that entered Beijing? Did Your Majesty kill them all? This has been ominous since ancient times, so Your Majesty wouldn't do such a thing, right?

"There is no need to sacrifice prisoners at noon, these prisoners are still doing hard labor in Shaanxi." These Jiannu captives are all young and strong men, and it is too wasteful to kill them like this, and now the famine in Shaanxi is partly due to natural disasters, and a large part of the natural disasters are due to water conservancy disrepair, so Li You left these people in Shaanxi to build water conservancy, so that they can atone for their sins at one time.

This disposition made the ministers not know what to do, saying that Your Majesty is strict, these people's lives have finally been saved, and if Your Majesty wants to release them to promote the benevolence of the Ming Dynasty, they can't say this kind of thing.

"As for the Jietai Temple, hum!" Without waiting for them to react, Li You continued, "Now that the half of the land of Liaodong Tai is still in the hands of Jiannu, what face do I have to sue Jietai Temple?" Of course, the real reason is that etiquette like this costs a lot of money, and Li You doesn't want to waste money on it, and it is better to use this silver in other more useful places.

"But Your Majesty ......," the ministers were about to say, but they were unceremoniously interrupted by Li You, "Now that it has been more than half a year since the defeat of Jiannu, I wonder if the Guanning army has taken this opportunity to recover the land of Liaodong?" "With the loss of more than 30,000 elites, presumably Huang Taiji's life is not easy, right? If Guan Ningjun didn't take this opportunity to make a move, it would be too disappointing for Li You.

Sure enough, hearing this, Qian Longxi's face became extremely pale, and he trembled and walked out of the court and said, "Your Majesty, it was already winter when Jiannu returned to Liaodong, and Liaodong was a bitter cold place, and it was impossible to march after winter, so the Jiliao Governor was still reorganizing his troops and horses, and planned to wait for the weather to warm up before going north." He can only say this for the time being, hoping to drag this matter over, in fact, Guan Ningjun has no intention of going north.

"Hmph, the Guan Ning Army spends millions of dollars every year, don't these generals even prepare cotton clothes for the soldiers?" Li You snorted coldly, taking the opportunity to make trouble, Liaodong is cold, but to say that it is impossible to march Li You does not believe it, since Jiannu can live in such an environment, then there is no reason why the Guanning army cannot go north.

In this case, what is the use of the money and food spent by the imperial court? In my opinion, this salary might as well stop! Li You originally thought that if the Guan Ning army still had a little bit of enterprising, he would definitely not let go of this good opportunity, as long as they showed a trace of courage to dare to fight against Jiannu, then he could continue to tolerate the existence of this army, but now he has been completely disappointed in the Guan Ning army, and it is really muddy that can't support the wall.
