After the vigorous ceremony of sacrificing prisoners, the soldiers returned to the camp and the officials returned to their positions. It's just that everyone can perceive that this Ming Dynasty is no longer the same as in the past.

After the founding of the country, according to the old rules, the emperor should weaken the military power of his ministers and consolidate his rule. will inevitably be jealous of those who have achieved great merit. The court has always been the most prosperous in the Wei Dynasty Duke Xu Da's achievements, and everyone at the time thought that Xu Da would be idle and feared by the emperor in the future. This is the fate of the heroes of the past dynasties, and there is nothing to put a beak on.

But now His Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and he is not afraid of the achievements of his courtiers, Xu Da has sealed the Duke of Wei, don't look at the difference between the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Wei, but it is a world of difference. With this example in front, this Ming Dynasty is different from all previous dynasties. Everyone realized from this ceremony of sacrificing prisoners for a few days that today's Ming Dynasty is a great dynasty without precedent.

Everyone is holding back their strength and wants to leave their brilliant achievements in this magnificent era.

In the palace, Xu Dazheng, who had just been promoted to the Duke of Wei, was gathering with the emperor in the palace.

"Alas, I said, brother, what are you doing with all this gold, silver, and jewelry?" Everyone else thought that Wei Gong should be complacent and full of ambition at this moment. Unexpectedly, Xu Da had a sad face at the moment, and his face was helpless. "You can't eat the gold and silver on the grassland, and you can't drink it. All the way to the grassland, I don't know how much people and rice will be consumed. ”

"Helin's side is in ruins, it's better not to have this thing! It's better to exchange some people for the ministers...... Now that there are ten rooms and nine empty rooms in Helin, there is no one in his hands, how can the minister guard the northern frontier fence for the Ming Dynasty......"

Lao Zhu rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile: "Xu Tiande, don't be embarrassed." You still don't accept the gold you give, and you still want people from us? ”

"I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, that is where the vitality of the Central Plains lies! Meng Yuan has been ravaging for a hundred years, you go to the north, there are still no people for ten miles, and there is no rooster crowing for a hundred miles! ”

"Let us call someone for you? Where are we going? Don't change! Ask the people of whose family they are willing to follow your Duke Wei away to the grassland and cultivate the ......land there."

Lao Zhu has always been slamming the door, but this time he let go and rewarded Xu Da with a lot of gold. First, now that the output of Yingzhou Jinshan and Yinshan is gradually stable, Lao Zhu is becoming more and more abundant, so he will no longer be stingy to allocate some gold and silver to reward meritorious officials like Xu Da; The second is that he was brainwashed by Zhu Su again and again, and Lao Zhu finally understood what real wealth is: gold and silver are things outside the body after all, only grain and population, that is the top priority of a country!

It is okay to reward gold and silver, and everything is negotiable. Let us move the people of Daming? No need to talk! Our own population is not enough!

How can I send you to move to the grassland!

"But if there is no one in his hands, what will the minister do?" Xu Da frowned. Let him conquer the Quartet and let him open up the wilderness, he is really blind with a black eye.

"Didn't we arrange a textile wool industry for you? You do it......"

"But you can't use the Mongols to the fullest. If there is no Han in his hands, how can the ministers educate and the people of the forest? Xu Da said.

Lao Zhu also knows this truth, and in fact, he has already allocated some of the Central Plains criminals for Xu Da to take to Helin. But Xu Da felt that it was not enough, so he deliberately entered the palace to ask for it. The two old brothers were arguing on this royal table, Xu Da complained vigorously, although Lao Zhu knew his difficulties, but he also took pity on the lack of material resources in the Central Plains, and he was unwilling to let go.

Queen Ma pushed the door in from outside, still holding a drawer of freshly made buns in her hand. Seeing that the two old brothers were still arguing with no image here, they couldn't help laughing. "Chongba, Tiande has only come back with a great achievement, why are you still in a hurry with him."

"Are we in a hurry? Where are we in a hurry......"

"Tiande, don't blame him. He has always been used to picking and searching, and the lining of the dragon robe is worn with holes, and he is reluctant to let the preoccupation change, let alone divide the people out of the customs...... Forcibly leaving the people from their homes is infamy! In the past, when there were many people everywhere, it was just that. Now the people of the state capitals have finally stabilized......"

The minister was frightened, but the minister understood. It's simple for the ministers to think that forcing Your Majesty to move the people as a subject is to trap Your Majesty in injustice......"

Queen Ma calmed down the quarrel between the two brothers in a few words, and then began to pour wine for the two of them. "You don't have to be subservient, our two families are world friends, even if you are sealed outside the gate in the future, your descendants want to worship your ancestor, and they also want to come to the Taimiao in Yingtian City."

"The sacrifices are all in one place, which shows that this is a family. Behind closed doors, where do you need so many courtesies? The plain life is divided. ”

"I have an idea, since you don't have a clue for the time being, why don't you ask the junior? Yun Gong was young and resourceful, and Su'er was planning to manage the grassland a few years ago. Miaoyun is even more famous for female beings, and the wool spinning thing depends on its strength. ”

"Why don't you announce them all into the palace and hear what they mean?"

Lao Zhu's eyes lit up, the fifth kid has a lot of ghost ideas, maybe there is really a way to have both. Xu Da also bowed his head and said: "I will follow the queen." The minister is already old, and the fief in the future should have been handed over to Yun Gong. ”

"Now let's change my name to my in-laws." Queen Ma smiled gently, and then asked the female officials outside the palace to announce Zhu Su and Xu Yungong. Before long, Zhu Su and the Xu family sisters and brothers came together, and Queen Ma beckoned them to sit down again and again. After a few words of greeting, Queen Ma then told Xu Da and Lao Zhu's thoughts.

"Yungong, do you have any opinions?" Lao Zhu asked with a pleasant face.

"Back to Your Majesty." Xu Yungong hurriedly stood up, and after seeing Lao Zhu signaling that he didn't need to be polite, he sat down respectfully. "I thought that there were still tens of millions of herdsmen on the grassland. There is also the Great Khan of Warat, who is stubborn, still has wolf ambitions, and has not sent envoys to pay tribute, and the heart of my Ming Dynasty has appeared. ”

"In that case, why don't we follow the system of Yingzhou and send troops to capture the Mongol Tartar captives for the people. I am a good person who practices benevolence and righteousness, and those herdsmen are not born to be extremely vicious. If you can ensure that they live in peace in all seasons, they will definitely be willing to herd sheep and cattle for me. ”

"As long as there are cattle and sheep, I can be regarded as a firm foothold on the grassland. The future is also promising. ”

"Good!" Lao Zhu nodded. "Sharpen the power of the tile to replenish Lin Yuanqi. This is a win-win-win solution. Miaoyun baby, what do you think? ”

Xu Miaoyun first glanced at Zhu Su, then stood up and made a blessing salute, and said generously: "The courtiers have heard that there are Shanyang Wanhu in the north who trade with my Ming Dynasty, and today they will be transported by Shuntian and attached to the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Courtiers are cheeky, can you ask Your Majesty to assign these ten thousand households to my father and rely on them as a foundation? And with Shanyang Wanhu Zhuyu in front, people know that I am benevolent and righteous, and if I follow Daming, I can get food and clothing. ”

"Hahaha, but a filial woman!" Lao Zhu and Queen Ma glanced at each other, and the two couples nodded with satisfaction. "Don't worry, we have already decided to split the ten thousand households in Shanyang into Duoyanwei, Tainingwei, and Fuyuwei, and put them under your father's command. That is, your father is famous and famous, and he is stationed far away outside the customs, so that he can suppress these newly attached Mongolian tribesmen. ”

"It's just that this hasn't been made public yet. When the two of you get married, we want to take these three guards as your Xu family's appointment ceremony! ”

Xu Miaoyun's face turned red, but she didn't run away, but was still generous and slightly blessed: "Your Majesty, the courtier, and the queen mother." It's just that the shyness on his cheeks can't be hidden.

Lao Zhu and Queen Ma looked at Xu Miaoyun with a smile, and only felt that this daughter-in-law was really more and more satisfied the more they looked at it. After the couple looked at each other again, they finally turned to Zhu Su's side.

"Old Five, it's your turn. Your Uncle Xu feels that there is a shortage of manpower on the grassland, what good strategy do you have to help your Uncle Xu open up the wild land of the grassland? ”
