Chapter 416: The first step to change, take it first and then talk about it
Of course Zhu Gaoxu doesn't mind, originally the two sides were a transaction, but now that the transaction is successful, everyone is very creditable and makes money peacefully.
As for the future, it can be left to future generations to solve, because he believes that under his leadership, the Ming Dynasty will only get stronger and stronger, and there is nothing that cannot be conquered in the future.
Si Renfa left happily, and the second one to come in was Na Rong.
Nashi has the largest pasture in Yunnan, the status is quite important, and the resources are also quite important, at least until the machine guns come out, the cavalry is still useful, not to mention anything else, only in Yunnan, Jiaozhi that part of the transportation, a large number of horses are needed.
Na Rong first visited the emperor.
Zhu Gaoxu also politely helped him up, and after he sat down, he said: "In a few days, Yunnan Musheng will be crowned the king of Xiping, and Yongzhen Yunnan." ”
"Ahh
"The Si clan sent troops and contributed money, and the Si clan suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and the king of Luchuan was sealed, and Luchuan was Yongzhen."
"Ah" Narong sighed again, his expression a little envious.
Zhu Gaoxu said quietly: "Now your clan, the north is the king of Xiping, the west is Luchuan, the south is Jiaozhi, and the east is Daming, life is not easy." ”
Na Rong's face changed slightly, as if it was such a reason.
used to be considered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but now there are suddenly two kings, and Na Rong is caught in the middle, which seems a little bad.
"That leader has produced a large number of war horses this time, as well as tens of thousands of elite soldiers, which is also considered to be a lot of strength, so that Yang Wu, the beloved general of Love and I, is a family again." Zhu Gaoxu said: "I want to make you the Hou, the Marquis of the Southwest, and the Yuanjiang of Yongzhen." ”
"Minister, thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." Narong was also ecstatic.
Now he has changed from the leader of the toast to the lord of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Gaoxu said again: "I will build the Hou Mansion for you in Lin'an Mansion (Jianshuizhou), the Southwest Hou can move to Jianshui Prefecture, and the Yuanjiang River will be under the management of Lin'an Mansion. ”
Na Rong, who was ecstatic just now, was silent for a while, Zhu Gaoxu wanted him to move out of his hometown and go to Jianshui Prefecture, which was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it was a relatively important territory.
Those who can station a guard and horses are considered to be a great place.
Zhu Gaoxu saw that he was silent, so he said: "If the Marquis of the Southwest is unwilling, I will not be reluctant, I just think that when I am alive, it is enough to keep the peace of the Na clan, in case I am not there in the future, the Si clan and the Mu clan, as well as the Nanzhang country in the south, are not fuel-efficient lamps." ”
"The Na clan moved to Lin'an Mansion, and they can be protected by the imperial court, and they will be safe."
What Zhu Gaoxu said is also very reasonable, now that he is alive and his prestige is growing, whether it is the Si family or the Mu family, of course he does not dare to make any changes.
In the future, Zhu Gaoxu will die, those places in Yunnan and Luchuan, the emperor is far away, I don't know what will happen, that family has a small territory, but it has the largest pasture in Yunnan, and it must be the fat meat that everyone is staring at.
With the Ming court supporting behind, it's always better.
Na Rong thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Who is the commander of Lin Anwei now?" ”
"Yang Wuna." Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile, it is your son-in-law: "The prefect of Lin'an Mansion can be served by the clansmen for the time being." ”
When Rong heard this, a smile appeared on his face again, and he immediately said, "The minister obeys the order." ”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded with a smile, now in order to win over and appease these toasts, any conditions can be discussed, and when the world is decided, his descendants can slowly solve these problems in the future.
Then Zhong Xian brought a contract, stipulating how many war horses the Na clan would sell to Da Ming every year, and how much salt and sugar Da Ming would provide to Na Shi.
Zhu Gaoxu has seen all the Tusi one by one, the established territory of the people, the taxes that need to be paid in the future, and the materials given by the imperial court, in short, so that everyone is satisfied.
In the Hongwu and Jianwen and Yongle periods, the toasts basically paid one-way tribute, and most of them were some special treasures that had no practical significance, and the grain was mainly a few hundred or thousands of stones a year, and there was no difference to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Gaoxu gave the Mu clan, the Si clan, the Na clan and the Tusi considerable autonomy, in fact, judging from the communication of this meeting, the local area was almost originally in autonomy.
It was the original Yunnan, and Mu Sheng was almost the same as an independent kingdom, and he wanted to play something, and it was a few months later when he passed to Beijing.
The price for their power is the tax they need to pay.
For example, the Mu family, at the end of the Ming Dynasty in the original history, was broken by the rebels, and the wealth obtained by the rebels was obtained by the Mu family for hundreds of years in Yunnan, and tens of thousands of people transported it for two or three months before it was finished, which was like the number of sand in the Ganges.
Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu set a tax for Mu Sheng, or a tribute, 300,000 taels of silver every Chinese New Year's Eve, and except for the three divisions in Yunnan Province, the rest of the officials of all sizes were appointed by your Mu clan, but the garrison should be returned to the imperial court.
In addition, Yunnan's fields will be taxed in the future, and Xiping Wangfu now has 60,000 acres of land, and the tax is 20%. In the future, if the grain field increases, it will be subject to the new tax rate of the imperial court.
Mu Sheng has no military power and needs to pay land tax, and he is the real king of Yunnan when he grasps the livelihood and commerce of Yunnan, he thinks about it, and of course agrees.
After all the toasts left, there were still several people lining up in the corridor outside.
Soon, Ji Gang, the former commander of the Jinyi Guard, was called in.
"The criminal minister Ji Gang knocks on Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Ji Gang cautiously knelt in front of Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaochu sat in place this time, Ji Gang stepped on two boats in the rebellion war, although he helped Zhu Gaoxu, but Zhu Gaochu knew that if he lost, this kind of person would immediately stand on Zhu Di's side.
"Flat." Zhu Gaoxu said lightly.
Ji Gang hurriedly got up, looking a little bad, because he couldn't feel Zhu Gaoxu's emotions.
Usually the leader has no mood swings in front of you, which may prove that the two of you are not close.
Zhu Gaoxu said at this time: "I have already made Mao Xin the commander of the Jinyi Guard. ”
Ji Gang bent down and bowed his head, not daring to squeak.
"You also made a contribution to me in the war against the rebellion, and I want you to lead the troops in the big army."
“。。” Ji Gang was stunned at first, and then ecstatic.
He originally wanted to lead the troops to fight, and it was Zhu Di who asked him to do the Jinyi Guard.
Is there still a war to be fought now?
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, who is the Lord?" Ji Gang asked cautiously.
"Come here." Zhu Gaoxu asked him to go to the west side, and then he found that there was a new version of the Ming Dynasty hanging on the west wall, with many countries and regions painted on it, and he had never heard of it.
"This is the big member, opposite Fujian." Zhu Gaoxu said: "I want to set up a political envoy department to undertake the announcement. ”
"Zheng Zheng is the commander of the big guards, the big people are stationed in five guards, a total of more than 20,000 people, and you are the commander of the avant-garde."
"Obey." Ji Gang hurriedly expressed his position.
"The climate is suitable, there are a lot of fertile fields that can be cultivated, and the local area is particularly suitable for planting sugar, after you go, it is mainly Tuntian and sugar-making, and there are some local people and mountain people, grab a group to help you build a large city, and then win over a group, and Zheng Zheng is responsible for specific matters."
"I understand." As soon as Ji Gang heard that there was a battle, it would be good that he could make meritorious contributions.
After Ji Gang left, Jiang Zhonglong, the left attendant of the ministry, came in.
He recommended several officials to the emperor, and they were all in prison.
Zhu Gaoxu is rehabilitating officials during the Zhu Di period and is being released one after another, but everyone will be examined before they come out, and the emperor will give instructions.
These two people haven't had their turn yet, and Jiang Zhonglong said that they are both talented.
Zhu Gaoxu was happy when he heard it, it turned out that he recommended Xie Jin and Ru Yu.
Xie Jin was put in prison by Zhu Di last time, and he has not been released yet, and he is still queuing up for rehabilitation.
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said slowly: "Xie Jin is talented, but he has a personality problem, you go to the prison to meet him, ask him if he still wants to talk nonsense, he wants to say that he can't talk nonsense, and then let him out." ”
Jiang Zhonglong immediately thanked him.
Ru Yu in the Hongwu years did the military department of the book, the Ministry of Shangshu, but also did Henan political envoy, Zhu Di Jing difficult to succeed, named him a loyal uncle, Shi Lu a thousand stones, still for the military department of the book, but not long after offending the king of Zhao (Zhu Gaosui), the king of the valley (opened the Jinchuan door meritorious), was complained by the two, Zhu Di dismissed his official, let him go back to his hometown.
Two years after the original history, Chen Ying impeached Ru Yu again, and Ru Ying died of poison in anger.
This will Ru Yu still idle at home.
Jiang Zhonglong said that he had great talent and could be used.
Zhu Gaoxu seems to have heard the name of this person, but he can't remember it, but even if he is the person Zhu Di dismissed, it must be used.
"His loyal uncle is sealed by Zhu Di and must be dismissed."
"I understand."
"You said that he had been a political envoy in Henan before, so he would be appointed as a political envoy."
"The minister obeys the order, the minister is brave, this big man?" Jiang Zhonglong also heard it for the first time.
Zhu Gaoxu brought it to him on the map again, clicked it with his hand, and that's it, and then thought to himself, Xie Jin likes to talk nonsense so much, he should go to the senior officer to be the inspector.
He still remembered in his heart the words of the good saint Sun that Xie Jin said in history, and he was obviously unhappy with Xie Jin.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't realize it before he became the emperor, but the emperor found that he was really busy that day.
Since he entered the Beijing Division, he has been busy non-stop, and he has to think about everything.
The selection of the three divisions in various localities, the placement of the commander-in-chief, the deployment of soldiers and horses, and all kinds of rehabilitation are very busy every day.
Before becoming the emperor, he said to himself how to reform the system, how to reform, all kinds of ideas and means, but so far, none of them have come and started to be implemented, and he is too busy.
The first thing he did now was to send troops to occupy some more important places, such as the Nuergan area, Dayuan, Nanyang and other places, and then slowly develop.
During this period of time, he summoned a group of officials above the fourth grade in Beijing every day, chatted with them one by one, and used them to test the officials.
This trick is very common in later generations, but the previous emperors have never done this, there are so many civil and military officials in the court, and there are only a few people who can face the emperor alone, not to mention that they have the opportunity to chat with the emperor for so long.
The officials were so excited that many of them had already written long recitals at home before their turn, anxious to show their faces in front of the new emperor.
On the fifth day of February in the first year of Hongxi, Zhu Gaoxu officially canonized Sun Ruonan as the queen, Xu (Xu Miaojin) and Wei Moer as the imperial concubines, Jing Shu, Huang Ying, and Li as the concubines, Zhang Yan as the virtuous concubines, and Ma as the concubines.
This decision is still very surprising.
