"Xu Qing is going to have a banquet, I still have to drink a few more glasses of my happy wine." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will present a recital, and I will have a will to worship Xu Qing as a scholar of Dongge University." ”

Xu Guangqi hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, "The minister has not done the work of size, His Majesty has been promoted too fast, I am afraid that it will ......."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, interrupted Xu Guangqi, and said, "I have made up my mind, I don't have to resign, and retreat!" ”

Xu Guangqi opened his mouth, and he didn't want to make the emperor unhappy on this day, so he bowed and thanked him, and retreated.

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and took out the small notebook he carried with him, and wrote down the names Xu Guangqi said.

Li Zhizao, knowledgeable, good at astronomical calculations, mathematics, "Xiaochang Art of War, proficient in the study of Taixi", and Xu Guangqi have a good relationship, and the current Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and the Ministry of Labor is in charge of the Ministry of Water and Qing Officials Sibu Lang.

Sun Yuanhua, a student of Xu Guangqi, was raised in the 40th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, learned firearms and mathematics from Xu Guangqi, but because he was enthusiastic about Western learning, he failed to pass the Jinshi examination, so he gave up the fame of the imperial examination and devoted himself to the study of Western studies.

Xu Guangqi also recommended Guo Shiqi and Zhang Tao, who are "familiar with Western weapons", "Please praise the painting, manage the business, and the results will be fast." ”

Zhu Youxiao took all of these things into account, and set up an "Arms and Powder Bureau" outside Beijing with 300,000 yuan to fully support the military industry of Xu Guangqi and others.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also handed over the Huangzhuang to Xu Guangqi and others to manage, and he could plant whatever he wanted. Of course, this year's main thing is the sweet potatoes that have been tested in the north, as well as the trial promotion of potatoes.

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land", why does the emperor of the Ninety-Five Supreme still set up the Huangzhuang as his private property? This is where we start at the beginning.

The beginning of Huangzhuang was in the Chenghua period, and the newly enthroned emperor Zhu Jianshen confiscated the field of the eunuch Cao Jixiang and changed it to the palace Zhuangtian, that is, Huangzhuang.

The establishment of Huangzhuang was actually a precedent for land annexation in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Jianshen's Huangzhuang soon spread all over Shunyi, Baodi, Fengrun, Xincheng, Xiongxian and other places.

By the time of his son, Hyojong Hongji, there were five Huangzhuang in Gyeonggi, covering an area of 12,800 hectares.

Within a month of his grandson Wuzong Zhu Houxie's accession to the throne, he set up seven Huangzhuang in Daxing County, and successively developed to Changping, Zhending, Baoding and other places, making the area of Huangzhuang reach 37,595 hectares and 46 acres within ten years.

The land annexation undoubtedly intensified social contradictions, and the large increase in Huangzhuang near the capital directly led to the uprising of Liu Liu and Liu Qi in Baxian County, Hebei during the Zhengde period.

Moreover, the management of the Huangzhuang was very chaotic, and behaviors such as "occupying land, collecting property, and polluting women" occurred from time to time, causing a lot of social problems.

Therefore, in the early years of Jiajing, the Huangzhuang was abolished on the surface and renamed the official land, but it was just a change of soup and not of medicine.

Zhu Youxiao also learned that he was still a big landlord in Xu Guangqi's recital. Since Xu Guangqi wanted to promote planting, he also generously handed over the Huangzhuang to Xu Guangqi and others to manage.

Of course, for the establishment of the imperial village, Zhu Youxiao also understood that this was a competition with the people for profit and a destruction of the economic foundation of the dynasty's rule.

You must know that although there are tens of thousands of hectares in Huangzhuang, it is inconspicuous compared to the whole world. can go up and down, the emperor occupies it, and the clan, the country, the civil officials, and the military generals can still fall? There are also Guantian and Xuetian......

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was thinking about how to cut himself first and return the Huangzhuang to the people, and then attack the other bastards who invaded the land.

If you want to say that the income of this Huangzhuang is Zhu Youxiao's private money, it is distressing to cut it. But this example has to be made, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao hasn't thought about it perfectly, and before there is no good way, he can only maintain it like this.

The civilian-bureaucratic clique that misled the country through party struggle, the clan vassal kings who became pigs and abolished, the land annexation that intensified social contradictions, the corrupt and degenerate bureaucrats, the guard military system that accumulated defects and was difficult to revive, the upcoming Xiaoice River period, and the great enemy of the Later Jin Dynasty that ravaged Liaodong......

Zhu Youxiao put down his chopsticks, and even the dishes he chewed in his mouth seemed to have no taste.

"Send these four dishes to the Qianqing Palace and let ......" Zhu Youxiao casually scratched on the table with his hand and instructed Wang Tiqian, "Let Bai Niangniang taste it." ”

Wang Tiqian bowed down, called the palace people, put the dishes into the food box, and sent them to the Qianqing Palace.

The pause when the young emperor had just ordered was sensitively noticed by Wang Tiqian. He guessed that these dishes were mainly given to Zhang Yuer by the emperor, but he was embarrassed, so he changed them to White Niangniang.

The emperor is a nostalgic and righteous person. Wang Tiqian felt that he knew more about the young emperor, and happened to see a young man smiling and toasting, and hurriedly reminded the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the teenage boy who came up, and said with a teasing smile: "You check, children are not good at drinking, beware of being drunk and making people laugh!" ”

That's right, this is Zhu Youxiao's half-brother Zhu Youzhen, the historical Chongzhen Emperor. He is six years younger than Zhu Youxiao, and he is only eleven this year.

Zhu Youzhen held the cup and bowed, and congratulated with a smile: "I wish the royal brother the wedding of the imperial brother, and I wish the imperial brother and the imperial sister-in-law to raise their eyebrows and add a noble son as soon as possible." ”

Hehehehe, Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile, and stretched out his hand to signal Wang Tiqian to move an embroidery pier, "Who taught you these words, although they are folk slang, I am happy to hear them." ”

Zhu Youzhen was happy to see the imperial brother, and the child was also very happy, sat down on the embroidery pier, and said to the imperial brother: "You Jian listened to the palace people talk about folk marriage customs, and wrote it down by himself." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and gestured for a cup, took a sip, and said, "It's time to build a mansion for my brother and be crowned king." It's just that the war in eastern and southwest Liaodong has not stopped, and the cost of building a government is not much, but it is a grievance. ”

Although Zhu Youzhen is underage, he is a man in the end. With a queen and concubines in the harem, it is not convenient for him to live in the palace anymore.

"Brother Huang said this, which made the younger brother ashamed." Zhu Youzhen didn't seem to care too much about this, and said: "The state affairs are difficult, and the cost of the royal brother's wedding has also been reduced and reduced. But if the minister's mansion can be lived, it will be very good, and the royal brother does not have to worry about it. ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at this little boy, and the emotions in his heart were very complicated.

The death of the Ming Dynasty, of course, has various reasons such as natural and man-made disasters, continuous party strife, and difficulty in returning, but Chongzhen is definitely to blame and bears unshirkable responsibility.

It can be said that Chongzhen has neither a strategy for governing the country nor a trick to appoint others, and is strict, suspicious, and suspicious.

Although "the rooster crows, the night does not sleep, and there is no feast in the palace", the more diligent he is, the worse the situation becomes.

But at this time, it is meaningless to criticize Zhu Youzhen, a little child, who is still in elementary school in the future, can still reprimand him for what did not happen, or complain.

Zhu Youxiao put away his complicated thoughts, smiled and asked, "What is my brother reading recently, tell me about it." ”
