Chapter 585: No room for bargaining

"I'm tired, so let's retreat if I have nothing to do." Zhu Houzhao on the throne stretched his waist very lazily, and he was like two people with his previous appearance of being wise and martial.

Duan Peng walked out, he was originally a servant of the Ming Dynasty, but a classmate and friend of Yang Ping, the first assistant, Emperor Jiajing spread the news to rectify the rule of officials, and the news of severe punishment for corruption spread all over the world, and the officials with a lot of shit on their buttocks were like frightened birds, so after receiving Yang Ping's letter, he immediately made the decision to leave Daming to avoid trouble in Western Europe.

The new scholars of the Ming Dynasty are nervous, and to put it bluntly, they are not even enough for themselves, so there is no way to transfuse blood for Western Europe, so if Western Europe wants to govern, it can only rely on Confucianism.

Zhu Houzhao naturally knew what these Confucian officials who were almost equivalent to being assigned were what they were, but he could only endure it first, so he appointed Duan Peng as the head of the household department of the Wu Dynasty.

Yes, the current power structure of the Wu Dynasty is completely copied from the old Ming system, and there is almost no change in the cabinet, the six ministries and the yamen in various places.

And Zhu Houzhao himself knows that it is unrealistic to expect the Ming Dynasty to send a large number of new scholars to Dawu to completely replace Confucianism, because no matter how many new scholars in the Ming Dynasty are, there is no other reason......

Australia and America, which are destined to be divided into the territories of the Jiajing prince, need to start from scratch more than Europe, and they also need new talents more than Western Europe, and when these princes are divided, they are not even crowned, in order not to give Confucianism room to manipulate, so the new school is particularly important.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao understood the elder brother, but just asked for a group of new scholars, and first set up the framework of new learning in Western Europe.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has always been constrained by Confucianism, although in the end it can't stop the general trend, but Confucianism or the imperial examination, in the Ming Dynasty is really called a deep-rooted, so Emperor Jiajing adopted the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water, gradually cultivating, setting up new institutions and then gradually encroaching.

But in Western Europe, it is obvious that there is no need for such trouble, and these officials who came to Western Europe know very well that their control is in the hands of Zhu Houzhao, and they do not kill them because it is still useful, and they want to kill them......

Now that the Ming Dynasty has expanded its territory, the status of the warriors has been raised step by step, and the status of the warriors has been high, then the status of the literati will inevitably be suppressed, coupled with the set implemented by the Ming Dynasty, all officials know very well that sooner or later one day it will bloom everywhere in the Wu Dynasty, at most twenty or thirty years, the Wu Dynasty is the world of new learning!

No one is a fool, and the officials know that they can't resist the general trend if they know that they can't resist it, so they will inevitably comply, which is the biggest advantage of Confucianism, that is, resilience!

Duan Peng, like many officials of the Wu Dynasty, not only sent all the heirs of his family to Xinxue, but he was also conscientious in the court, and he would never dare to make mistakes, so he gave Emperor Taiwu a chance to catch himself and then slaughter him.

"What's the matter with Duan Aiqing?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Duan Peng, slightly displeased.

Duan Peng stiffened his head and said, "The minister wants to ask about the pension......

"Bereavement? The bereavement pension has always been customized, two hundred taels of silver, what is there to say? ”

"Your Majesty...... More than 57,000 soldiers were killed and seriously wounded in this battle, and if the pension was 200 taels of silver per person, the pension would be as high as 90 million taels, and there would be aftermath support for the soldiers who were discharged due to injuries, and the cost during this period would probably be as much as 10,000 taels, and the household department would ......."

"Don't you have any money?" Zhu Houzhao asked coldly.

"It's not ...... Just ......"

"It's just a piece of...... How much money is there in the household? ”

"The balance of the household department is almost 16,000,000 taels ......."

Zhu Houzhao hummed, the income of the Great Wu Dynasty in the past few years mainly relied on robbery, and there was also blackmail to the Holy See, and the actual tax revenue was not much at all.

Half of the European aristocracy was exterminated by Zhu Houzhao, how much silver was robbed?

Zhu Houzhao didn't have any money in his heart, but he sent more than 10,000,000 taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty in the name of buying guns and cannons, and now Western Europe was defeated in the Battle of the Rhine, and the Holy See even abandoned and fled to such holy places as the Vatican, it is conceivable that a curtain of plundering the wealth of the whole of Europe is about to open.

What a fortune that would be!

Of course, according to the infrastructure plan of the Wu Dynasty, the integration of Europe will take the elimination of European culture as the first priority, and to build this place into a real Chinese land, this project is so big that it is simply appalling, and the amount of silver to be spent must be astronomical.

But Zhu Houzhao doesn't care about these ...... It's just a mere pension......

"If the family of the sacrificed soldier or has a family member in the territory of the martial country, he shall be compensated immediately, without the slightest delay, who dares to deduct a penny of silver and kill his entire family!"

Zhu Houzhao was still able to understand the difficulties of the household department, so he continued: "How many families did not emigrate with the soldiers?"

Duan Peng bowed and said, "About sixty percent ......"

"So many......" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "List the list and origin of these sacrificed soldiers, I will send a letter to Daming, and this part of the pension will be let Houwei go, and when Dawu has enough silver, I will pay him back."

Duan Peng breathed a sigh of relief.

"As for the soldiers who retired due to injury...... Zhu Houzhao's face became a little serious: "The treatment of wounded soldiers must not be the slightest bit worse, if our Dawu Dynasty can't even solve the worries of soldiers who work hard for the country, they don't deserve the loyalty of soldiers!"

Duan Peng said solemnly: "I have done according to His Majesty's orders, if the soldiers who have a family business are willing to go back, in addition to the disability allowance, they can receive money and food from the government every month, and the children in the family can study for free until the end of high school, and those who do not have a family in the Wu Dynasty will be placed in the Rongyang Nursing Home to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing in this life."

"Then I can rest assured." Zhu Houzhao nodded very cautiously and said: "This is a big matter, it must not be neglected, tell the remnants of the Rongyang Home, and I will visit them when I have time."

"Obey the order!"

"There is also the Holy See, the battle of the Rhine heralds the defeat of the united holy war of European countries, and they also know that my army will plow and sweep the cave anytime and anywhere, so they have to run now, and even the warships built by various countries over the years are to prevent them from going to sea immediately once defeated.

I give them time to get out, lest someone say that I am a butcher and turn this European land into a hellish graveyard, but go and tell the Holy See and tell the countries that the southern part of the America they are going to has been taken by the Ming Dynasty, and if they don't want to die, they should go to the north......"

"Your Majesty means to negotiate with the Holy See and even other countries?"

"Negotiate a fart, just tell them that there is no room for bargaining!"

"Obey the Order......"
