He had occupied so many places since the beginning of the army, and this was the first official to invite himself to live in his house.

This dog officer? Zhu Gaoxu faintly thought of something, didn't he want to send his wife?

But it's impossible to look at Ma Lin's age, is it a concubine?

Zhu Gaoxu has been leading the troops outside since he started the army, sometimes running around with the cavalry, tired and dirty, and following the soldiers every day is also extremely boring.

Suddenly, when Ma Lin said this, those things in the man's brain were faintly hooked.

Two voices immediately came to his mind.

hasn't entered Nanjing City yet, hasn't killed Zhu Di yet, steady, don't wave.

It's also good to relax once in a while, and who knows if the next moment, will you die on the battlefield?

He hesitated for a moment, and was seen by Ma Lin, Ma Lin was secretly happy in his heart, he bet right, King Han is really good.

Unexpectedly, the next moment.

"No need." Zhu Gaoxu suddenly became serious: "This king can live in the Yamen of the capital, go out to fight, and everything is simple." ”

"Xia Guan understands." Ma Lin dealt with it carefully, his expression was happy, Zhu Gaoxu did not reprimand him, which means that he did not say the wrong thing.

After Zhu Gaoxu and the rebel army entered the city, he said that the whole of Guangxi had been officially included in his territory.

He originally set up a political envoy in Liuzhou City, and Xu Zhong was temporarily the political envoy because Xu Zhong was literate.

Now he can transfer the third division to Guilin.

Because he wants to protect Xu Zhong's family, Xu Zhong is not suitable to appear in Guilin, and there are too many people who know him here.

Zhu Gaoxu ordered Xu Zhong to go to Guangdong, and then from Guangdong to Jiaozhi, and asked him to bring a letter to Mu Sheng.

The commander of Guangxi is still Wang Zhong, and he commands the yamen to set up Guilin.

At this time, the whole territory of Guangxi was occupied by Zhu Gaoxu, and there were more than 20 original Guangxi Eight Guards, with a total of more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, and Wang Zhong was stationed in Guilin.

Guilin added two guards, three guards for Guilin, one guard became three guards, so that Wang Zhong had more than 10,000 people in his hands, and the total strength of Guangxi was more than 70,000.

After Zhu Gaoxu won the Battle of Guangxi, the number of soldiers and horses had risen to more than 300,000, and after this division, it returned to 250,000.

In addition to training, the garrison guard post is tuntian, and it is necessary to ensure the stable output of autumn grain in the military field.

According to other statistics, at this time, Guangxi has 102,430 acres of land and 90 acres, and it is necessary to pay 1,869 stones of summer tax wheat and 492355 stone of autumn grain rice every year.

Guangxi's farmland is very small, only more than 10 million mu, and some provinces may have more than 10 million mu in two or three prefectures.

By the time of Ming Hongzhi, Guangxi's Tuntian had reached 150,000 hectares.

Guangxi not only has less land, but also even less military land.

At this time, there were only 4,610 hectares (460,000 mu) of military land in Guangxi, while 12,000 hectares (1.2 million mu) of military land in Yunnan and 9,400 (940,000 mu) in Guizhou during the same period.

From the perspective of Tuntian, Guangxi is the least of the three neighboring provinces, which may also be related to the number of guards in the three provinces, because the soldiers and horses of the three provinces are also the least in Guangxi.

But now Zhu Gaoxu's main force of hundreds of thousands of troops is in Guangxi, and if the autumn grain is not enough, it will not be possible to fight the subsequent war.

Therefore, there are too many soldiers and horses in Guangxi now, and Zhu Gaoxu has to allocate 50,000 to Shengyong's side in Guizhou to alleviate the pressure on grain, so that Shengyong's side has 50,000 more, and Zhu Gaoxu's side has 200,000 mobile soldiers and horses.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu only got more than 100,000 stone grains from King Min of Wugang, plus some Guilin grabbed, which was far from enough for his expenses.

Not only did he have hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of people to support, but there were also a large number of newly surrendered officials in Guangxi to support.

In addition to ensuring the autumn harvest, Zhu Gaoxu also had to consider income generation.

Zhu Gaoxu was not in a hurry, he followed step by step, first stabilizing the capital division, and then the remaining two divisions.

The political envoy on the left is still Ma Lin, the political envoy on the right is Wu Xiang, and the prefect of Guilin is Qian Chang, an official of the Han Dynasty.

The original envoy was dismissed, and Lu Guangping, the deputy envoy, was appointed as the envoy, and the officials of the Han Dynasty were appointed as the deputy envoys.

Mr. Guangxi Sansi was established, striving for orderly operation, preparing military rations and transporting materials for the Han army.

Some people suspected that the officials below would not be able to contribute, and Zhu Gaoxu finally made a big move.

It was announced that all local officials in the Ming Dynasty would double their income from September, and Guangxi would take the lead in implementing it.

After giving the soldiers a salary, Zhu Gaoxu gave the officials a salary, which once again shocked the entire Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu announced that all officials in the Ming Dynasty would double their salaries, and my territory would be added first, as for Zhu Di, whether your officials would increase or not, that was your business.

This trick is really disgusting, it is estimated that after Zhu Di knows about it, he will set off the royal case again.

It is a huge expense to raise the salary of civil officials, plus the military salary of the capital has also been increased, according to Guangxi's tax of 490,000 stone last year, Guangxi will definitely not be enough at that time, not to mention that he still has to fight now, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to raise, so in addition to the next step to improve taxes, the focus is still to crack down on big landlords.

For example, King Min and King Jingjiang.

After Zhu Gaoxu entered the city, King Jingjiang never came to see him, and the gate of the palace was closed, and no one went out.

Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers and horses guarded the gate and did not enter for the time being.

After a few days of confrontation, someone from the palace came out and said that he wanted to go out to buy vegetables.

The guards couldn't say for sure, no one could go out without an order from the King of Han.

The people in the palace said, "We are short of vegetables, no vegetables."

The guard said you wait.

After a while, the guard brought a bag of vegetables from outside and threw it at the door.

The palace was speechless, such a few vegetables were enough for the Jingjiang Wang's family to eat a few bites.

There are hundreds of people in the palace.

They asked again, but to no avail, so they had to go back.

The news quickly reached Zhu Zanyi.

Zhu Zanyi and Xiao looked at each other with a face.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to force King Min to come to the door like that and send vegetables, but if he did this, it wouldn't be long before they would be short of food.

At that time, Zhu Gaoxu only sent a few grains to Zhu Zanyi's family, hundreds of people in the palace, a large number of eunuchs, maids, servants, and soldiers.

All starvation?

"King Han's trick is really poisonous." Xiao Yongdao said helplessly: "He knows that His Highness is benevolent and righteous, and he will not want his subordinates to suffer disasters and use them to persecute His Highness." ”

Zhu Gaoxu's trick is definitely useless for King Min, King Min only cares about himself, and will not care about his subordinates and servants.

But it was useful for Zhu Zanyi.

Although he didn't know Zhu Zanyi, Ma Lin, Wu Xiang and others did.

It was Ma Lin who offered him advice, and the king of Jingjiang was cautious and law-abiding, eager to learn and write.

Xiao Yongdao once stated eight things to Zhu Zanyi, namely, "prudent living, lack of appetite, diligent learning, cultivation of morality, simple punishment of whipping, no encroachment on people's interests, often receiving government officials to understand the feelings of the masses, and simply selecting prudent people to prepare for dispatch." ”

Therefore, Zhu Zanyi has a good character, and she is very good to her subordinates, so she can be used.

After Zhu Gaoxu heard it at the time, he also fell into deep thought.

In later generations, people of good character also became a derogatory term.

Those children who are loyal, kind, honest and trustworthy, and abide by the rules will basically suffer when they go to society.

The more upright you are, the more you will achieve nothing.

For the wicked will take advantage of their strengths and turn them into weaknesses.

Now, he, Zhu Gaoxu, is going to do the same.

After only three days of closing the palace gate, Zhu Zanyi came out and asked to see the king of Han.

The guards said that the king of Han did not have time to see, the city was ruined by the war, the people's houses were leaky, and the clothes were not covered, and the king of Han was organizing the people to build the city, and he was very short of money.

Zhu Zanyi quickly sent Xiao Yongdao to ask to see the King of Han, saying that he was willing to lose 100,000 taels of silver.

But he did not support the military expenses of the Han king, and needed the Han king to use it on the people.

Zhu Zanyi said so, as for what Zhu Gaoxu really used it for, of course he couldn't control it.

Only then did Zhu Gaoxu agree to see him.

After entering the Jingjiang Palace, Zhu Gaoxu found that the Jingjiang Palaces were larger than his Prince's Mansion in Yunnan, with more than a dozen halls and hundreds of other houses.

Zhu Gaoxu saw that his heart was unbalanced again, and what his father Zhu Di gave him seemed to be the worst in the clan forever.

He didn't have to think about it, Zhu Zanyi must have more fields than him.

After Zhu Zanyi got the news, he hurriedly led people to the front hall to greet him.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu from afar, he immediately knelt down: "Zanyi to meet my uncle." ”

It turned out that in terms of seniority, Zhu Gaoxu was still his uncle.

Zhu Gaoxu finally became an elder.

"Hahaha, please get up quickly, the military affairs are busy, I only have time to visit the virtuous nephew today, please get up, please get up." Zhu Gaoxu helped him up with a smile and asked with concern, I heard that Ling is not in good health, so he should rest more and exercise less.

Zhu Zanyi immediately said: "Han Guan brought troops in before, and my nephew also mistakenly believed the rumors, and now I regret it." ”

The two met in Beiping Mansion back then, but now that they see each other, they feel like they are different people.

After entering the main hall, Zhu Gaoxu was not allowed to sit on the top seat, and Zhu Zanyi was also cautious to accompany him at the bottom.

Xiao Yongdao asked people to serve tea, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to drink it, so he just put it aside.

Xiao Yongdao and Zhu Zanyi are both officials with good character, but Zhu Gaoxu still has to be on guard.

He himself feels that his character is also good, but in order to achieve his goal, he does not dare to do anything.

Zhu Zanyi has two princesses and two sons.

At this time, he had the three ladies and two sons called out to see their uncle.

“。。” Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help touching his chin, are you all a father-in-law?

However, he sensed that Xiao Yongdao was peeking at him.

The other party is playing the family card and the etiquette card.

You're an elder and a father-in-law, so you should be embarrassed to do it to children, right?

After a while, five people came in from outside the hall, three ladies and two little princes.

Princess Zhang, who is not yet twenty years old, but looks a little old.

On the other hand, Geng and Li are still young, estimated to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Li's child Zhu Zuomin was still young and was held in Li's hands.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu, Li gently put Zhu Zuomin in, knelt down according to him, and kowtowed to Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Zuojing on the side was very obedient and knelt down first.

Zhu Zuomin is still young, he doesn't know anything at all, and he is not obedient, and he twists around.

"Ahh Li said anxiously.

This Li is pretty, with snow-white skin, which is considered to be good.

It would be August, the weather was very hot, and she wore a loose and slightly transparent gauze dress, and her breasts were a little bulging.

But when he bent down and knelt down against his son.

Hiss, Zhu Gaoxu's expression froze.

At this time, the Li family was less than five steps away from him, and Zhu Gaoxu could even smell the faint fragrance on the Li family.

The Li family didn't realize it, he was still pressing his son, and he didn't dare to push too hard.

Barely pressed a few times, feeling red and helpless, she raised her head uncomfortably, just in time to see Zhu Gaoxu staring at her.

Li subconsciously lowered his head, and his whole face became redder.

(Zhu Gaoxu enlarged the move, I also want to enlarge the move, at the beginning of the new year, add three watches every day, add to the seventh day of the new year, and ask for a monthly pass.) ）
