Chapter 145: Zhu Yuanzhang's generosity

When He Xi said that there was a shortage of people, his heart moved, and he already had some expectations.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask: "Where is there enough manpower near Liaodong for immigration?" ”

He Xi said: "Goryeo." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Yes, it's Gaoli." If Liaodong is strong, it can control the Northeast, and if Liaodong is weak, all parts of the Northeast will do their own thing. The imperial court cannot be controlled. Therefore, to enrich Liaodong is the most important thing in the governance of Northeast China. Is your Liaoze plan good? If tens of thousands of hectares of land can be opened up in Liaodong, more than one million people can be supported. More than 100,000 soldiers were raised. Liaodong was not a burden to the imperial court. And Nu'er Gandu Division, all parts of the country can also build cities and govern, and the counties are guarded. ”

"It's just that the only bad thing is that Liaoze planned, according to the current situation. I'm afraid it won't be possible for more than ten years, it's almost a hundred-year plan, and in the world, if there is any plan that can last for more than a hundred years, I can't wait. My idea is to move the people of Goryeo to rule Liaoze. There were five million people in Goryeo. Migrate halfway, there should be no problem. These two million people are enough to govern Liaoze. ”

"That's your mission, too."

When He Xi heard this, he only felt shocked.

He finally understood the gap between him and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang said it plainly, but in fact, He Xi saw blood in every word of Zhu Yuanzhang. The blood of the sea.

Not to mention the casualties of the Battle of Goryeo. It's a lot, but it's nothing. After all, where do you not die in war. Just say that nearly half of Goryeo, or even more people, will be relocated to Liaodong and let them reclaim Liaoze. As mentioned above, the difficulty of governance in Liaoze is actually not great, and there are no technical difficulties. Only the amount of earthwork is amazing.

This kind of relocation of the country and the people. The mortality rate is quite staggering.

And He Xi didn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't thought about it.

He Xi hadn't thought deeply about why it was Lan Yu who teamed up with He Xi. Now I suddenly understood. is also the leader of the next generation of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Ying is much more generous than Lan Yu, which is why after Mu Ying's death, a considerable number of people in Yunnan Tusi are nostalgic for Mu Ying. The reason why the descendants of the Mu family were able to defend Yunnan in the world.

And among Lan Yu's character, there are more brutal characters.

Whether in battle or after war.

Let Mu Ying do such a thing, Mu Ying may not be able to do it. But let Lan Yu do it, Lan Yu will definitely not be unable to do it.

He Xi raised his head, and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at each other calmly as water, without a trace of waves, his heart was deserted, and he lowered his head again and said; "Yes."

He Xi can only try to think about the good.

After this toss, the so-called traditional power of Goryeo will no longer exist. There will be no Chao-Xian in the future, only one province of Daming. The so-called long pain is not as good as short pain. Although the pains of the times fall on ordinary people, it is unbearable pain.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You go back and think about it, and give a month off." After a month, let's go to Liaodong. ”

He Xi said: "Yes." ”

"But there's one thing you have to think about." Zhu Yuanzhang said; "Xu Da wants to knight you, the prince should tell you. What do you think? ”

He Xi said; "The minister thinks that it is only a small achievement, and the court has already given a reward, which is not enough to be knighted."

He Xi is not unmoved.

The benefits of knighthood are significant.

First of all, the title of Daming is very valuable, and many of the founding titles have truly achieved the same retirement with the country. As long as he can be knighted, he will be an iron rice bowl for more than ten generations of future generations.

Secondly, the strength of the honorable is quite strong today. And in the predictable ten years, and even for a period of time after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Xungui's power is still very large. He Xi becomes a member of the nobles, and it is likely that he will become a rising star among the nobles like Lan Yu and Mu Ying, and even in the future in the position of Xu Da, that is, the head of the nobles, it may not be impossible.

But He Xi is very clear that his position cannot be shaken.

Although He Xi is not very interested in the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, and even in He Xi's opinion, the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty have obvious biases, and the quality of the generals is far above the civilian officials. It's not that Song Lian, Liu Bowen, and Li Shanchang can't do it. But it is a little worse than the same founding heroes, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Wang Meng, Zhuge Liang, Fang Mou Du Duan and others. At the same time, under Zhu Yuanzhang, no one made the most of it.

But it was Xu Da, who was not inferior to Wang Jian , Li Mu , Wei Qing , Huo Quzhi , Li Jing , and others when put together.

Even from the perspective of the development trend of the world, it is inevitable to use literature to control force. The scourge of the five generations of warlords is a painful memory of the Chinese people, and it also has the deepest political imprint. Why Zhu Yuanzhang and many Wenchen think that the Hongwu period is an extraordinary period is because the lords control the power.

Even if He Xi joins the ranks of the lords, the time for the lords to control the power of the court will be extended by decades. But no matter what, it will still return to its original position. Instead, it adds uncertainty to the future. It is one thing for He Xi to cooperate with Xunchen. It's another thing to be a lord.

What he wants to do is to preside over the change of the law and give a courtesy to the prime minister of the hundred bureaucrats. And not the lords. Once he becomes a lord, the power he cultivated in the country, many people may have other ideas.

After all, everyone is a person with their own thoughts, and it is impossible for He Xi to have absolute control over the people below. We can only unify our minds as soon as possible. And not the other way around.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at He Xi and was not surprised by this answer.

In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised that He Xi made any choice.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang is still willing to have some distance from the lords and ministers. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted He Xi to change the law, not to let He Xi succeed to the throne. Military power is the most important power among all the powers in the imperial court, and this power should be controlled by the emperor.

Nothing else. He Xi naturally took his leave.

------

Although it is said that January holidays. But in fact, where does He Xi have a holiday?

A lot of relationships are maintained. He Xi is away all the year round, so if he stays in the Jingshi forces, it may not be his own. He Xi has been in Beijing for a month, and he needs to maintain these relationships. Naturally, it is early to leave and return late.

First of all, he took a three-day class in Guozijian.

The content of the talk is the situation in the South Seas, and maritime trade, etc. In particular, his theory of defending the north and going south has a very strong introspection among the young scholars.

Many people say that the foreign wars during the period of the strong dynasty are the king's great achievements, but in fact, it is not, many times, it is the collective will of many people. The emperor is but a representative of this collective will. It's like now, the young people of Guozijian were all born before the founding of the country.

In their childhood, the Ming army was always invincible and invincible. They also want to be like their ancestors. Especially the example of He Xi, who broke Java in the first war, leveled Nanyang in one year, set up four towns in Nanyang, and descended to hundreds of countries in Nanyang.

It's simply a realistic idol figure.

Therefore, when He Xi was lecturing, the Guozijian was crowded, and many people who were not Guozijian crowded the Guozijian lobby.

And overnight, what He Xi said became popular all over the world.

If it is said that before this, the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the crown prince, Xu Da and other people, already had a consensus on the future expansion of the south of the Ming Dynasty. So now this wind has spread to the people. More importantly, He Xi is the idol of the scholar, and He Xi's knowledge has been widely spread because of He Xi.

Some people even published He Xi's articles and sermons by themselves, which were very popular.

It's just that they are all pirated, but He Xi can't receive the manuscript fee.

He Xi's activities in Guozijian are still secondary. The most important thing is to liaise with the officials of the country. Song Lin, as He Xi's person, has been doing quite well. Many of the reforms He Xi implemented in Guozijian have been retained. And Zhu Yuanzhang did not make a big deal against the people of Guozijian. Unless an official dies, no adjustment is generally made.

On the one hand, this is convenient for these officials to raise hope, and it is also common for many Qingliu officials to stay in the Guozijian for several years. On the other hand, it is also why he is preparing. When He Xi ascends to a high position, everyone in Guozijian can use it directly. It can be regarded as a reserve talent.
