Chapter 158: The class teacher returns to the dynasty
Zhu Qizhen sighed and said, "The first emperor's heirs are thin, and I only have such a younger brother.
I originally planned to seal King Yu to Henan, which is also a good place to go.
But guess what, King Yu said that Henan is densely populated, and there are many people and little land, and if he goes, won't he become a profit with the people, and it will become a burden for the court in vain.
My younger brother took the initiative to ask to go to the border land to solve my worries.
I also persuaded the king of Yu, I really can't bear it, I can say a thousand, ten thousand, he just refuses, saying that it is Henan, and it is useless in the country, but it is Liaodong, which is in line with the intention of Taizu to divide the seal, the original fence, protect my Ming. ”
Zhu Qizhen sighed for a while, but everyone was thinking of "Lao Tzu believes in your evil", which vassal king in this world would cry and shout that he was going to Liaodong to become a vassal domain.
Why, when did my Ming vassal king become so iron-faced and selfless.
Still making a fence, the current vassal king, that's a fence?
That's soft persimmons.
But this is not something they can put their beaks in, especially in such a sensitive relationship.
Although there is something wrong with Liaoyang, the matter of the vassal king being a vassal is still determined by the emperor in the final analysis.
Since you don't need to take the blame anyway, and it's good for the country, why oppose it?
How can they not see that the clan has become an unbeatable burden to the imperial court?
Moreover, this burden will only grow in the future.
In the past few years, thirty or forty years, more than 20 vassal kings of the Hongwu Dynasty, plus those who have removed the country, are now approaching more than 40 people.
If the prince is like this, then the county kings below are even more numerous.
Under the pig raising policy, the idle Ming clans did not work hard to give birth to babies.
A prince asks for 50,000 stones of rice, 25,000 pieces of money, 40 pieces of brocade, 300 horses of silk, 100 horses of yarn and Luo, 500 horses of silk, 1,000 horses of winter and summer cloth, 2,000 taels of cotton, 200 taels of salt, and 1,000 catties of flowers.
In addition to these, a large amount of money and silver land was taken out at the time of the feudal domain, and the imperial court had to reward it every year, not to mention that these feudal kings dared to do anything in the local area, and almost all the anointed land around the feudal kingdom fell into their hands.
Calculated at this level of the sect, even if it is the lowest-ranking auxiliary lieutenant, it will cost two hundred stones of grain for Yang a year.
At this rate of expansion, some people have made bold predictions that sooner or later, the taxes of a province will not be able to support the clans of the province.
So much so that I said in private that the grace of my relatives can be said to be omnipresent, and its thickness is far greater than that of previous generations.
What's more, King Yu is the only prince in this dynasty, if he is a vassal domain, the specifications are not small, and the money is indispensable to spend.
But if King Yu went to Liaoyang, the cost would be much less.
For example, Wang Tian.
If Henan is a vassal domain, the imperial court is still quite difficult, and Wang Tian's allocation should not only give good land, but also ensure taxes as much as possible to avoid making the small people unable to live.
But in Liaodong, this is not a problem.
There is not much else in Liaodong, but there is a lot of land.
If you want, you can give it to you, and it's not a problem to double or double.
Anyway, the imperial court never planned to collect any taxes from Liaodong, but only hoped that it could collect more grain from the military camp every year, and the imperial court would be thankful for less subsidies.
In view of the embarrassing status of the king and the fact that he can spend less silver, the ministers are naturally willing to do more than less.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Zhu Qizhen continued: "Since the king of Yu is in Liaoyang, he is worried about me, so I naturally can't treat my own brother badly.
The decree is that the palace of Liaoyang must be built by the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible to achieve perfection, and the subordinate officials of the palace will also start to choose.
King Yu is sealed in Liaodong, the weather is cold, I can't bear it.
On the specifications of the feudal rewards, leniency and superiority, Wang Tian gold and silver, must be prepared, every year double money.
By the way, Liaodong, it is not peaceful, and I authorized the king of Yu to set up two guards to protect the king of Wanquan.
When this matter is assigned by the Ministry of War, I must be attentive, and I will have one request, and the soldiers will have enough food. ”
"Yes, the ministers obey the holy commandment."
The people who were confessed replied one after another.
Although the rules of the feudal domain are different from those of the feudal lords, it is also a tolerable compensation in view of the special case of the king of servants.
After all, this is going to Liaodong, where birds don't.
The news of King Yu's establishment of Liaoyang soon spread throughout the court.
Some of the idle imperial historians really want to make a fuss about this matter and make a good start to this year, but they have not made any splashes before they are pressed to death.
Soon, King Yu expressed his gratitude, and the matter was settled.
The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials all moved to prepare for the establishment of the only prince of the dynasty.
This big event was quickly overshadowed by another incident.
British duke, back to the dynasty.
He was accompanied by the envoys of Boyan, Warat, and Tatar.
The atmosphere along the way can't be described as embarrassing.
Boyan, Warat, Tatar, and the three parties all wanted to beat each other's dog brains out, and they had to maintain peace in the land of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming army accompanying them along the way was always watching, and it was clear on all three sides that if anyone acted rashly, the end would be obvious.
Boyan has been panicking in his heart.
The Ming State allowed Warat and Tatar envoys to enter Beijing, which was not a good thing for him.
Tatar is terrible, and Varat is even more terrible.
And they entered Beijing together, obviously, this was also deliberately arranged by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom.
In the words of the Han people, this is to let them compete with each other and make the fishermen profitable.
This ending was expected by Boyan a long time ago.
Zhu Qizhen is a shrewd person, and when dealing with him, Boyan doesn't expect to take much advantage, he just hopes that he can be fair.
Fair, fair, and fucking fair.
If you say that the only thing that comforts Boyan's heart is the hatred of the Ming Kingdom towards Wara.
This kind of hatred can be felt even from these ordinary soldiers.
On the way to Beijing, Zhang Fu also received a holy decree and a special imperial wine from the palace.
Boyan, who is familiar with Sinology, naturally knows the weight of this prince and princess, one of the three princes.
This British princess is very valued by Zhu Qizhen.
In this case, Boyan hit Zhang Fu with his idea, wanting to probe from him.
An old oilman like Zhang Fu didn't know Boyan's thoughts, and while playing Tai Chi, he said a few words from time to time that reassured Boyan.
In short, along the way, Boyan was pinched to death.
After arriving in Beijing and Zhang Fu handed over the army, a decree came from the palace and gave him some condolences, saying that the British prince did not need to enter the palace in a hurry, and it would not be too late to wait until the day after tomorrow.
Then, Zhang Fu was dragged away by the old brothers of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.
The envoys of Warat and Tatar were also received by people from Honglu Monastery.
It was Boyan, who received him and was actually a foreigner in the ministry.
After all, Boyan is not deeply educated, confused, and knows that something is wrong, but he can't say it.
But he is in Beijing again, and he is simply isolated and struggling.
