Chapter 280: Would You Like to Stay in the Capital?
"Your Majesty, although the system of liuguan is good, the Tusi in the southwest may not necessarily cooperate with the imperial court."
Liu Bowen said with a little hesitation:
"After all, these toasts are in their own one-acre and three-point land, and they are used to being the emperor of the soil, if they suddenly change their official positions, presumably these toasts are likely to directly rebel."
"At that time, I will have to go on an expedition to the southwest, and I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses."
Although the policy of changing the land and returning it to the river is good, if no one is willing to implement it, it can only be a bamboo basket for nothing.
With the temperament of those toasts, if they could be so obedient, then the toast system would not have lasted from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew the key to this matter, but he was not worried at all, but said with a smile:
"This matter has already been done in the southwest, and most of the Tusi in Qinzhou have been sent to the capital."
"Next, we just need to follow the steps, we believe that it won't be long before the Tusi Rebellion in the southwest will be completely quelled."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of pride, this is what his prince should do, as for whether there is Li Jin's credit in this, Zhu Yuanzhang directly selectively ignored it.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang also handed the secret letter on the table to Liu Bowen, asking him to take a good look at Zhu Biao's political achievements in the southwest.
Liu Bowen hurriedly took the secret letter, and after reading the whole article, he finally had a general understanding of what Li Jin and Zhu Biao did in the southwest.
In the letter, Zhu Biao not only told about the change of land and return to the stream, but also explained the reasons why Li Jin raised grain prices from beginning to end, which was very detailed.
Before Liu Bowen and Zhu Yuanzhang, although he heard the recital of Jinyi Wei Baihu talk about the reason why Li Jin raised grain prices, after all, it was not as clear as Zhu Biao.
After learning all this, Liu Bowen said to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the emperor for the support of the navy and money and food in the letter, and the minister thinks that this matter is not trivial and should be implemented as soon as possible."
"Of course we know."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked like a matter of course, this was a request made by his precious prince, so he naturally had to meet it as soon as possible.
If Zhu Yuanzhang knew that there was always a person standing behind his crown prince, I don't know how he would feel.
"Berwyn, what do you think we should do with these, the toasts who were sent to the capital by Biao'er?"
Liu Bowen pondered for a moment and said:
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made it very clear in the secret letter that he should follow the precedent of buying horses with thousands of dollars, and give these toasts official rewards, and reward them heavily, and set an example for all the toasts."
"The minister suggested that the emperor could directly reward these toasts in front of the Fengtian Palace, civil and military officials, so that these toasts could return to their hearts."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and Zhu Biao explained the power of example in the letter, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to treat these toasts well.
It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang feels that these people are white-eyed wolves who can't be fed, and even if he rewards them, I'm afraid they will have to run back.
But after thinking about it, Yingtianfu is thousands of miles away from Qinzhou?
With the household registration system formulated by themselves, if they did not have their own permission, how could these toasts trek through mountains and rivers and escape back unharmed?
Thinking about this, Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer entangled, and said with a wave of his hand:
"In that case, the matter is settled."
"Tomorrow morning, we will reward these people generously, I hope they don't know how to lift, or don't blame us for being ruthless."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his face sank slightly, making Liu Bowen in the hall only feel a chill on his face.
These days, Liu Bowen only feels that the power of Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be getting heavier and heavier.
...
The next day, the Temple of Heaven.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair, and dealt with the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty with the Zhongshu Province and the six Shangshu Manchu Dynasty civil and military affairs as usual.
Due to the recent conquest of Wa Island, the expansion of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the opening of the sea and other related matters, the time of the early dynasty became longer and longer.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's character, it is naturally impossible to delay the matter until the next day, he seems to have infinite energy, and he does not dare to miss a single cent of the country's government and politics, and handles everything meticulously.
For people like Zhu Yuanzhang, although he is brutal and has a strong desire to control, he has to admit that he is a good and conscientious emperor.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang onwards, which emperor can do everything himself, and can deal with all the affairs of the Ming Dynasty every day.
Even Zhu Di, who created the prosperous era of Yongle, had to summon Sanyang into the cabinet to assist him in handling this complicated government affairs.
Zhu Yuanzhang is like a diligent old cow, cultivating the land of Daming with his own hard work.
By the time everything was taken care of, it was already noon.
From the fourth watch to noon, more than three hours have passed, and some old ministers are a little unstable on their feet, such as Lu Chang, the head of the household department, and Li Shanchang, the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, who are eager to go down to rest immediately.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was still in good spirits and said:
"We heard yesterday that the Tusi of Qinzhou in the southwest is willing to return the management of the Qinzhou Turen to the imperial court."
"They themselves also want to study in the capital, and we are very happy."
"In that case, call them all up, and we will reward them heavily."
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, most of the Chinese military officials were a little confused.
The Southwest Tusi wants to completely exchange the rights of the hereditary administrators of the Southwest Turen?
When did this happen? Why didn't they hear about it at all?
For the Tusi system, the officials are naturally clear in their hearts, that is, the real Tu Emperor.
The southwest is far away from Yingtian, and the emperor is far away, and no one can make these toasts, so they are naturally the same as the emperor of the earth.
Will they honestly return the rights? Could it be that all these people have lost their minds and gone crazy?
Everyone couldn't believe it, after all, they would never do such a stupid thing.
But to their shock, there were indeed hundreds of toasts who were brought into the Fengtian Temple.
These people are dressed in strange costumes, and they all look very shabby, these clothes are very different from the silk of the south, I don't know what material is made of, it seems that it is indeed the clothing of various toasts in the southwest.
Just when the civil and military officials were in doubt, the toasts knelt down one by one and shouted long live.
The strange tone convinced the officials that this was indeed those toasts in the southwest, after all, the civil and military officials from all over the world had never heard of such a strange emphasis.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a happy mood when he saw the toasts so cooperative, and said happily:
"You sincerely belong to our Daming, and we are very happy in our hearts."
"From now on, let's Feng Er and others as the Imperial City Divisional Wailang, the official of the fifth grade, there is no need to be on duty for the time being, and you can receive twelve stone taels in the court every month."
"Let's give you a mansion in the capital, and then take your parents, wives and children to the capital, so that you can enjoy the joy of family and let you enjoy your old age in the capital."
"What do you think?"
"I don't want to enjoy my old age in the capital, nor do I want to enjoy the glory and wealth, I just ask His Majesty the Emperor to let us return to Qinzhou!"
Just when the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth were about to crack with joy, an abrupt voice broke Zhu Yuanzhang's beautiful fantasy and directly shocked the ministers dizzy.
