Chapter 394: Sailing Against the Current

Whether King Fu is a temptation or not, the emperor is not ready to waste his brains, he has to implement it according to his own plan. Because, whether it is the inner treasury or the gold and silver in the homes of the vassal kings and magnates, they must be used effectively so as not to be wasted.

Moreover, for now, even if overseas expansion has just begun, and there are not many investment and financial management projects, buying bonds is also a good income, and it is still the most conservative and stable.

The emperor picked up the pen and refined his thoughts a little more, and recorded them all.

He will not do it himself, but will just come up with a way to implement it with his own courtiers below, or brainstorm to do this work better.

This has become the focus of the emperor's work, leading in the general direction and delegating power in specific work. Facts have proved that this is a very scientific way of management.

Zhuge Liang was tired to death, and the emperor learned from it.

Picking up a notebook again, the emperor opened it and read it. It was presented by Fu Zonglong, governor of Guizhou, who reported on the post-war reconstruction of Guizhou.

After the rebellion of Lu'an was quelled, the Shuixi Xuanwei envoy was removed, and the land of Shuixi set up Dading (Dafang), Qianxi (Shuixi), Pingyuan (Zhijin), Weining four mansions, and most of the original Jiutu, Jiuzong and Thirteen Zexi, Tushe, Tumu and other large and small Tusi were also removed.

Fu Zonglong's previous plan and implementation of the Tuntian method continued to be expanded, one is the original land of each guard station, and the other is the land of traitors, which is distributed to the meritorious officers and soldiers who put down the rebellion.

These lands could be used as a hereditary property for officers and soldiers, but they were forbidden to be bought and sold, and if they were not cultivated, they were confiscated to the imperial court.

As a result, nearly 30,000 officers and soldiers from Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou provinces who put down the rebellion remained in Guizhou. Together with their families, Guizhou's population has been enriched, which is equivalent to immigration, and Guizhou's defense forces have also been strengthened.

However, the population of Guizhou did not grow, and although the Tumu and Tushe who participated in the rebellion were able to maintain their official positions and lead the people, they had to move to Mekong Province in a different place.

This is a condition for accepting surrender anyway, and they will not be allowed to repent. In the face of the powerful Ming army, the fate of extravagant Chongming and Anbang is already obvious.

From the aspect of deterrence, the emperor's determination and decision-making in this counterinsurgency did achieve its goal. Despite the enormous cost, it is not condoned and not forgiven. After several years of hard fighting, a strong army has been trained in the southwest.

It is precisely with this elite soldier as a seed and a benchmark that the emperor believes that he will bring out more troops who can fight and dare to fight. This is also where he dared to launch a crusade against Burma in Yunnan Province.

The equipment of the army is the best, the training is also advanced, and the officers are also trained and trained in real combat. However, it is necessary to constantly sharpen and sharpen in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.

No matter how sharp the knife is not sharpened for a long time, it will rust. This truth is not very difficult to understand, and the emperor is not the only one who understands it.

However, the Ming Empire gradually gave up the expansion policy after becoming an ancestor, first, the accumulation of disadvantages and financial constraints, no money to fight, what soldiers to raise?

The second is that the emperor does not want to forge ahead, thinking that it is enough to keep it. Thousands of miles of territory, hundreds of millions of people, not enough for him to spoil?

That's right, Zhu You's definition of being successful or not wanting to make progress is bad.

Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Learning is the same, individual struggle is the same, the collective is the same, and it is no different from the country.

The world is developing, and if you stand still, that is going backwards. Even, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the emperor was inferior to the other, and he was getting worse and worse.
