Inside the Fengtian Temple.

The crown prince Zhu Biao and the Korean prince Li Shanchang are visiting Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The first draft of this Yunnan Chronicle is compiled by the Hanlin Academy Tie Shiha, Yang Xuan, etc., bringing together the secret records of the Tang, Song, Dali, and Yuan dynasties, the content is detailed, and there is almost no omission.

"This chronicle has a total of sixty-one volumes, the land book, the folk customs, the mountains, rivers, wind and the moon are salty, and your majesty is also invited to judge."

Li Shanchang was wearing court clothes, wearing a crown on his head, his face was respectful and solemn, and he said loudly with a court wat in his hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the table flipping through the books, smiling indifferently and nodding lightly from time to time.

"The Korean public works hard, the land of Yunnan, is the land of my Chinese history, and now the Yunnan political envoy has been established, and the town and pacification department has also been established, when the garrison in Yunnan is guarded, I have sent people to invite Cao Guogong to come and discuss the major affairs of Yunnan."

"Look."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he arranged for the chamberlain to sit for Li Shanchang, and the crown prince Zhu Biao also sat aside.

Li Shanchang held the Chao Wat in his hand, bowed down and slowly took a few steps back, and sat on the wooden chair with an expressionless face, with a solemn expression, looking at his nose and nose, and his heart without saying a word.

In the entire hall, only the refreshments were served inside, and the rustling of footsteps as they exited.

Zhu Biao's fat face showed a trace of helplessness, looked at Li Shanchang, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, once upon a time, his father and the Korean prince could sleep on their feet, laughing and saying everything, but now they are ......

The martial arts of the Ming Dynasty, the six kings of the founding of the country have the heaviest credit, but if it is the credit of the thesis minister, Li Shanchang should be the first to take credit.

It is not difficult to fight the world, but the difficulty lies in governance.

To govern the world, it is necessary to use officials, collect taxes, conscript, and conscript, and use officials everywhere.

Zhu Yuanzhang hated the officials left by the Yuan Dynasty, but he had to use them.

And when it comes to making good use of officials, Li Shanchang is definitely the world's leading talent, he can quickly integrate the officials left over from the former Yuan, quickly and stably rule, and collect food, which can be called Zhu Yuanzhang's Xiao He.

It's a pity that success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He.

Today's Li Shanchang is no longer as active as before, whether it is political affairs or military affairs, discussion and discussion, most of them are like a marionette, without saying a word.

Since the beginning of Hu Weiyong's case, Li Shanchang has been like this......

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the desk, flipped the chapter, his eyes flashed, he picked up the honeysuckle mint water and took a sip, with a smile on his face, and said in a slightly relaxed tone: "Prince, Korean Gong, you can try this hawthorn cake, this is pushed by Taisun Xiongying, saying that eating this hawthorn cake is good for the spleen and stomach, after I eat it a few times, my appetite is indeed better, I can eat a big bowl of a meal, you can also taste it." ”

"Yes, Father."

Zhu Biao is also not polite, stretching out his hand to twist a piece of hawthorn cake, this hawthorn cake is Zhu Xiongying gave the formula to improve, added sour jujube, has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, eating it is raw and quenching thirst, strengthening the spleen and stomach and clearing the stomach, want to come to this rebel, should be in Wenyuan Pavilion class, I don't know if you listen carefully?

And Li Shanchang squinted slightly at the hawthorn cake, and saluted: "Thank you, Emperor." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and twisted a piece and tasted it.

Zhu Yuanzhang had been staring at the table and the first draft of "Yunnan Chronicles", and suddenly glanced at Li Shanchang with a smile: "Han Gong has always loved to eat sour and sweet snacks, why don't you eat them today?" ”

Li Shanchang's hands trembled a little, looking trembling, and he almost knocked over the tea bowl, and he said bitterly and hoarsely: "Qi Qi Sheng, the minister is old, and now his appetite is not as good as when he was young." ”

In the last two sentences, there was a little choked up in his words.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also shook his head helplessly: "Yes, we are all old." ”

Li Shanchang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's holy body is healthy, and your longevity is boundless." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, stretched out his finger and pointed at Li Shanchang, and said: "I know that the Korean Guild is speaking, but now that the war between the Emperor and Ming is not over, the treasury has no food, and the Korean public is still needed to share the worries of the country. ”

Zhu Biao just ate the hawthorn silently, and his eyes flashed when he heard the words.

Last year, Fu Youde, Mu Ying, and Lan Yu led an army of 300,000 to pacify Yunnan in one fell swoop.

This is the pearl of southern Xinjiang after being lost for more than 400 years, and it has returned to the old land of China.

Although the land of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, and the wealth is not as good as the Song Dynasty, but the Northern Expedition reverts to my Yanyun, and the south is relevled back to Yunnan.

Although the Yuan Dynasty ruled Yunnan, the Yuan Dynasty also allowed Yunnan to communicate with other regions, such as Siam in Myanmar and other places, where people came and went freely, customs were mixed, mixed and chaotic, heavenly culture, Buddhist culture, Yunnan's native witchcraft, all kinds of cultures were mixed, and the people of the Quartet Tusi were their own masters, and the people did not know where they came from or where they went, and the clan inheritance was chaotic and unknown.

After defeating the king of Meng Yuanliang, if he did not immigrate to Yunnan as soon as possible, he would return to the border of Yunnan and stabilize his rule.

Then it will not be long before Yunnan will fall into extreme chaos again, and the remnants of the Mongols and Semu people will become soldiers and bandits and wander around, and all kinds of Tusi leaders will take the opportunity to seize the territory......

There are even Yunnan natives, facing the great tomorrow soldiers, asked: "I have nothing to do with the Central Plains in Yunnan, why did you lead the troops to ask for it!?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's response was also very domineering: "The homeland of Yunnan is my old land in China, and my emperor is here to restore China!" ”

Therefore, the compilation of the "Yunnan Chronicles" is extremely important, this is the interpretation of legal principles, with this Yunnan Chronicles, you can know that Yunnan has been the old land of China since ancient times, and the people and people at the bottom will have a sense of support and not be bewitched by the remnants of Meng Yuan.

Li Shanchang actually had a plan in his heart, and when Fu Youde and others came to the good news, he knew that Yunnan needed Tunbian immigrants, and a large number of Tunbian immigrants were needed, but it was such a huge project, and money, grain, and logistics were the top priority.

Hundreds of thousands of immigrants at every turn, long distances, scorching heat, and cold miasma are all great difficulties.

There are many huge projects in the Ming Dynasty today, such as the construction of filial piety, the construction of Nanjing City, the construction of Fengyang, the construction of the central capital, the construction of the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang's parents and grandfather, the soldiers and horses of the nine border towns, the Xifan tea and horse trade, the war in Liaodong, and the war in Korea......

Only the construction of the central capital Fengyang, the migration of more than 100,000 wealthy people from Nanjing, Jiangsu and Zhejiang and other places, and the construction of the Great Wall to guard the border against the Northern Yuan, the Ming Dynasty's treasury is very tight.

The most important thing is the embankment of the Yellow River.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, disasters arose, starting from the Yellow River.

But to this day, the flooding of the Yellow River still threatens the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the stone man had one eye, and the mess that stirred up the world was not finished yet...... Many fertile fields have been flooded, and the people have no shelter and are struggling to make a living.

At this moment, the Ming Dynasty is full of holes, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, the people are tired, and the most difficult thing is that many grassroots officials are still as corrupt as they were in the former Yuan Dynasty.

There is no way, the ruler of Mengyuan is very strange, he has always treated the people of the Central Plains as cattle and sheep, plundering at will, and those officials left by the former Yuan did things for the masters of Mengyuan, and they have always done everything to exploit and plunder, which does not care if your people live or die.

I thought that the master of Mengyuan had been beaten away, and these officials could be their masters and continue to exploit and plunder the people.

Who knows, this emperor came but did the opposite, to give the people a way to live, and not to allow officials to be corrupt?

Before Huang Ming came, I made dogs for the Mongolians, and after Huang Ming came, I made dogs for the common people? This emperor is not here in vain.

The fundamental reason for the luck of Hu Wu for a hundred years is that the officials of the Hu regime are weak and predatory, and the greedy nature is difficult to change, because the nomads have often plundered and robbed the agricultural civilization for thousands of years, and even if they sit in the world, they still can't change this nature.

The Ming Dynasty inherited Yuan Zuo, and there was no imperial examination, so it was naturally difficult to explain the rule of officials......

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has repeatedly slaughtered, it is also difficult to clean up the rule of officials, and the official atmosphere that has been influenced by Meng Yuan for hundreds of years cannot be changed overnight, but it makes these low-level officials start to join forces, because only by holding the unity of the party and pleasing the superiors can they pass the review of the superiors and deceive the emperor.

In order to let the people at the bottom live a good life, Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered the construction of "Nursing Home", "Drain Garden" and "Huimin Pharmacy", so that the lonely elderly and children are supported by the government, and the government will bury the poor after their deaths, and there will be free hospitals to treat the poor who cannot afford to see a doctor......

However, all this is based on Zhu Yuanzhang's crazy exploitation of the "rich households", that is, the original Mengyuan gentry and landlord class, as well as the emerging dukes and marquis of the Ming Dynasty.

And repeatedly enriched the nine sides, and mostly from the meritorious deeds of the founding heroes, degraded punishment and exiled in the past.

In this way, many of Zhu Yuanzhang's policies are good to the people, but they stand on the opposite side of the officials and the meritorious groups, and there are irreconcilable contradictions and rifts with them.

This time to guard Yunnan, no matter who stays behind to guard the town, and no matter where they emigrate, it will affect the Ming Dynasty, and I am afraid that it will involve a power struggle.

It's very simple, there are no military officials, all have township party clans, if they move to Huaixi, the Huaixi Township Party loses power, if they move to eastern Zhejiang, Yingtian, it is the eastern Zhejiang Wen Party is damaged, if they can't survive, who wants to leave their homeland?

When faced with conflicting interests, even the strongest political alliances can lead to differences.

Li Shanchang thought for a while and said: "The minister thinks that he should be like a nine-sided town, establish a guard in Yunnan, build a town to guard, and Yunnan has high mountains and long roads, and the transportation is inconvenient, so he should be punished as a powerful general, and the hereditary replacement!" ”
