The holy decree of Chen You and Kou Shen was sealed, and they traveled through mountains and rivers to Suzhou.

Suzhou celebrates the New Year with lanterns.

After recovering Hami and seizing a lot, Kou Shen ordered that the Gansu soldiers celebrate the New Year and eat meat-stuffed dumplings for three days.

This is the first time in the world, and it is already a blessing of heaven to be able to eat porridge, rice, and noodles every year.

Eat meat this year, and the meat-filled dumplings are full!

Chen You was stationed in Suzhou, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, he was still discussing the battle situation in the military tent, fearing that Mansu'er would invade Suzhou on Chinese New Year's Eve.

This possibility is very high, according to the news, Man Suer is in Hami, looking for traces of the Ming army.

After all, he suffered such a big loss at the hands of the Ming army.

This time, I also learned from the Ming army, ran to attack Suzhou, and killed all the people of the Ming Dynasty, see how Chen You explained to their emperor!

Just as he was about to patrol the gates, a decree from the center came.

Qin named him Shazhou Bo.

It is difficult to satisfy Chen You's appetite, Chen You wants to swallow Turpan, and invade Yili to annex all the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and be crowned the prince of the country!

However, on the earl's iron coupon, there are four words imprinted, Hami's merit, special seal.

This small detail moved Chen You very much, and he bowed to the Forbidden City three times and nine times.

Along with the canonization decree was a barbecue from the Imperial Palace.

After Chen You finished eating, he felt that the barbecue flavor was suitable for the local area, the local farming and animal husbandry were combined, and the meat was abundant.

Unfortunately, he asked the eunuch about the secret ingredients, and the eunuch said that there were two that produced the spicy taste, one was chili flour and the other was pepper.

Well, when I didn't ask.

Chili peppers, which are under cultivation, have not yet been promoted nationwide.

Pepper, the price of that thing is more expensive than gold, the powerful can afford to eat, where can the people eat, but the price of cumin and sesame is low, but it is not something that ordinary people can afford.

The eunuchs who went out of the palace to spread the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet were all blessed, and the generals and superintendents stationed outside had no family members, and they couldn't eat alone, and the eunuchs would definitely be able to eat and have rewards.

Guangxi, Zhuque Pass.

Fang Ying is an immigrant, and the second is the overall coordinator of the northern part of Annam.

Tao Cheng has taken over all the cities in the north and south of Annam, and the area will be redivided.

To the east of the Lujiang River, it is divided into Guangxi.

To the west of the Lujiang River, it is divided into Yunnan, with Hanoi as a parallel line, and north of Hanoi, divided by Guangxi and Yunnan.

To the south of Hanoi, the province of Cochin should be set up.

Guangxi is not more than the Spring Festival, those natives celebrate their own festivals, this year Fang Ying and the whole army to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve.

The decree comes from the center.

Jin Feng Fang Ying was the Marquis of Nanhe, Tao became the Bo of Tangzhou, Xue Xuan was awarded the prince Shaobao, Xia Xunzheng was awarded the fourth rank of praise and governance Yin, and Bian Yongcong was awarded the fifth grade Fengxun doctor, Pan Ben Yuzheng and the sixth grade Cheng Zhilang, Yang Yu, Bai Quan, Liao Zhuang and so on were all promoted.

Fang Ying is organizing the whole army to celebrate the New Year together.

He personally wrote the Spring Festival, wrote the blessing characters, cooked dumplings for the whole army, and celebrated Chinese New Year's Eve.

Guangxi soldiers have never had the Spring Festival, and the first time they did, they naturally wanted to be lively, full of New Year's flavor.

When the decree came, it was already dark, and dumplings were being cooked.

Promoted to marquis, Fang Ying's eyes were misty.

And Tao Cheng was also knighted, Tangzhou, is the land of Annan controlled by Fang Ying, Tao Cheng based on Tangzhou, swept away the northern part of Annan, and was knighted with this military exploit, which is justifiable.

The eunuch took out four large food boxes, divided into four large food boxes of meat, vegetarian dishes, cold dishes, and wine, because the weather in Guangxi was hot, so ice was used throughout the whole process to maintain freshness (saltpeter ice).

The eunuchs lit the stove and opened the baking, and the generals gathered in the camp were all Guangxi army generals, all with straight eyes.

Fang Ying thanked her first and then ate a bunch.

The rest is given to subordinates.

The generals are all confused, everyone has eaten barbecue, but the barbecue meat that is not smelly or smelly has really not been eaten.

Especially this spicy taste, it is too appetizing for Guangxi people!

Seeing that the strings of meat skewers were all eaten, the eunuch didn't catch a bite, although Fang Ying left a bunch, but the eunuch held grudges the most, and after coming back, he gave Fang Ying eye medicine.

And in Xinnan Zhili.

The holy decree of the reward came, and Hu Huzheng was awarded the right pillar of the country, Zhang Feng and Wang Hong were awarded the young master of the prince, Yang Xin was named Jianchangbo, Ou Xin was Pinglebo, and Ren Li was given a world certificate, Jin Zhong and Wang Cheng were rewarded.

All kinds of rewards are rare things in Beijing, and the emperor waved his hand and made a generous hand.

The eunuch loves money, so the emperor gave Jin Zhong and Wang Cheng two canneries, both in Nanzhili, and they are making money every day.

At the same time, the Chinese New Year's Eve feast was given.

The most excited are Yang Xin and Ou Xin, Yang Xin is a bandit in the Qing Jiangxi, and his military achievements are not low at all, but he is later than Li Zhen to be knighted.

Ou Xin even single-handedly leveled Guangxi, and cleared the gentry in Nanzhili, and made military exploits, and it was inevitable to be knighted.

In the ninth year of Jingtai, the center gave many titles.

But there are no world bonds, and the world bonds must be won entirely by military exploits.

This is because the emperor is worried that too many titles will be given, and the kings of later generations will not be able to check and balance, leaving a tail, and the world coupons cannot be given lightly.

In this way, there will be two divisions of Liujue and Shijue.

Liujue is the end of a lifetime, and the Shijue is the most precious.

The emperor balances people's hearts, and the means are endless.

In Hu Hui's new mansion, Zhang Feng and Wang Hong were a little anxious.

Hu Hu has been in Nanzhili for more than a month, but he doesn't kill anyone and does nothing, but Nanzhili is quiet.

"Two, did you come to the old man's house on Chinese New Year's Eve to eat and drink again?" Hu Hu said with a smile.

"Old lady, you should tell us the truth." Zhang Feng was anxious, when the holy decree came, he was worried that it was the emperor's holy decree that belittled him.

Hu Hu was making tea and asked the servant to step down.

Youyou said: "Both of them are extremely smart people, why are they confused now?" ”

Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, listening to this, Hu Hu didn't plan to liquidate the gentry? Then how can the emperor explain the past?

"Ziyi, this is an official, being an official in the center is a law, being an official in Beijing is a law, and being an official in the local area is a law."

Hu Hui poured tea for the two of them: "And in Nanjing, it is another way." ”

These words confused Zhang Fenghuan.

He understands the three methods.

But what does the fourth one mean?

"Whose people are we?" Hu Hu looked up at Zhang Feng.

"Your Majesty's people." Zhang Feng blurted out.

Hu Hu smiled but did not speak.

"We are the people of the gentry." Wang Hong spoke.

From Ren Li was scolded back to Fengyang by the emperor's holy decree, the two forces fought for power and profit, and it came to an abrupt end.

Now the relationship between Zhang Feng and Wang Hong has been restored.

"Ziyi, you don't have the public to see it thoroughly."

Hu Hu ate a lot of meat, and it was difficult to restrain himself, so he said slowly: "The old man is asking you, in the center, what attitude should you have towards the gentry?" ”

"Verbal criticism, I can't wait to kill it!" Wang Hong replied.

Hu Hu smiled and bowed: "In Jingshi, what should you do?" ”

"Kill, kill until you finish it!"

That's right, this is the way of being an official in Beijing.

"But where?" Hu Hu asked again.

Wang Hong pondered: "Kill with one hand and caress with the other, although we are officials and serve the court, but after all, we are from the gentry." ”

"The children can be taught!"

Hu Hu said with a smile.

Zhang Feng also figured it out, yes, if he wasn't under the emperor's nose, why did he really tear his face with the gentry?

"But old lady, being an official in this Nanjing, what is the difference between it and those three places?" Zhang Feng asked.

Hu Hu smiled and said: "This is also the Jingshi, and it is also the place, what do you say?" ”

Kill with one hand, caress with the other, and you have to show the emperor!

Zhang Feng stood up and respectfully saluted his disciple: "Thanks to the old lady's order, otherwise it would be like a spinning top." ”

Wang Hong asked: "Old lady, you didn't kill anyone when you came to Nanjing." ”

"Hahaha!"

Hu Hu stroked his beard and laughed: "Didn't the old man really kill him?" ”

Ou Xin, Yang Xin, and Li Zhen are fighting, isn't this just killing?

With a stroke of the pen, who killed it, can the center check?

"Ziyi, Gongdu."

Hu Hui was solemn for a moment: "We are working for Your Majesty, so naturally we have to think about it for Your Majesty, there are some things that can be done or not." ”

The implication is that the emperor doesn't understand anything when he touches his mouth.

Let's perfunctory him.

When you get to the place, do what you want, and go back and fool him.

This is to protect His Majesty.

Wang Hong's eyes flashed with worry, is the emperor so easy to fool?

"Gongdu, do you think Your Majesty wants to kill? Or don't you want to kill? Hu Hu smiled and drank tea.

The center has not issued an order.

Perhaps, Your Majesty does not want to kill?

Can you not kill, is it in the interests of the emperor?

Wang Hong couldn't see through, couldn't see through whether this was Hu Hu fooling the emperor, or the emperor did it on purpose, anyway, Hu Hui, the old fox, was hiding too deeply, and the emperor was deceived by him.

The emperor thought he was a loyal minister, but he thought he was.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Wuying Palace.

Wuyingdian is almost idle, and it used to be the place where Emperor Taizong met with his ministers.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the throne.

"Zhuqing, the nine years of Jingtai will pass soon, and it will pass really fast."

Zhu Qiyu had a smile on his face: "This year, the dynasty has done a lot of things!" Everything can shine in the annals of history, shocking the past and the present! ”

"Let's start with expanding the territory."

"Wang Yue, Jiang Wan, Mao Zhong, Li Kan, Yang Shouchen and others recovered North Korea, pouring great achievements, although it has not yet been completed, but North Korea has become the meat of the Ming Dynasty, and it cannot be escaped."

"North Korea has established a province, and I have one more province in Daming."

"In the south, Fang Ying, Tao Cheng, and Xia Xun have recovered the northern part of Jiaozhi, and I have been ordered to incorporate Guangxi and Yunnan."

"I believe that in Jingtai for ten years, Fang Ying will be able to take down Annan and regain Jiaozhi!"

"In the west, Chen You and Kou Shen annexed Hami, and the troops came to Turpan, taking the Eastern Chagatai Khanate by surprise, and showing the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty to the Eastern Chagatai!"

"Hami was incorporated into Gansu, and the territory of Gansu was completely formed!"

"In the north, Helin has become the Happy Valley of the dynasty, and all the herdsmen surrender to the Ming Dynasty!"

"This is my credit, and even more so to you!"

The important ministers of the Beijing division are all gathered in the Wuying Palace.

With the lessons of last year, we all know that today is the day when the emperor rewards his ministers.

How many rewards have been sent out in this month? How many titles have been sealed? How many Wenxun and Wuxun, how many gold and silver treasures have been given?

This is a New Year's gift from the emperor to all meritorious officials, and it is the best reward.

"It's all thanks to Your Majesty's blessings!" The courtiers bowed.

"Flat."

"Let's talk about governance!"

"Zhu Ying and Xiang Zhong are Shandong, pacifying the thieves in Shandong, properly relocating the displaced people, and governing Shandong!"

"Jin Zhong, Ma Jin, Yang Xin, and Zhu Yi are in Jiangxi, reversing thieves and thieves, immigrating, dissolving property, redividing land, properly resettlement, and governing Jiangxi!"

"Li Xian and Shang are in Liaoning, resettle displaced people, govern the locality, and govern Liaoning!"

"Fang Ying, Xue Xuan, Xue Yuan, Hou Chen, and Zhu Yong are in Liangguang, and the two provinces of Guizhou and Guangdong have moved into hundreds of thousands of Han people, and the two provinces are under great governance."

"Kou Shen is in Gansu, Yuan Jie is in Ningxia, Yu Shan and Yu Gang are in Shanxi, all of them have great governance!"

"It's been a really fruitful year."

"Li Bing, Wang Shu, Lu Yuan to govern Rehe, Rehe after a year and a half of construction, has begun to take shape, according to Li Bing, Lu Yuan's recital, it is expected that Jingtai eleven years, Rehe province will be completed, and has been newly trained 30,000 cavalry, Rehe cavalry more than 50,000."

"Yuan Jie is in Ningxia, the entire Hetao has gone through two years, the military defense has been completed, the city is expected to be in Jingtai for ten years, the construction has been completed, and 50,000 cavalry have been formed, and up to 25,000 people can go to the battlefield."

"I am very satisfied with the governors everywhere."

"This year, there has been a large number of immigrants and displaced people, with more than 10 million people, and there has been no big chaos in various places, which is a great achievement!"

"Therefore, I should bestow knighthoods, bestow world-class vouchers, bestow honors and martial honors, bestow treasures bestow treasures,"

"I see all your merits!"

"Local officials have great merit, and central officials have also made great contributions."

"You are all my right-hand men!"

"I can't live without you for a moment."

Being praised so much by the emperor, everyone still can't stand it.

However, the ninth year of Jingtai is really the year that has changed the most since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.

"How much tax is confiscated by the court this year, it is also the easiest year for the people, although I am not in the people, but I can feel the joy of the people, I am honored."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Next year, I will decide to further tax exemption ...... the court."

However, the words were not finished.

Geng Jiuchou knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please allow Weichen to interrupt you." ”

"What's the matter with Geng Qing?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.

Geng Jiuchou knew that if he spoke at this time, he would sweep away the emperor's interest.

But it has to be said.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen will say a few words, and please spare Wei Chen from the death penalty!"

Zhu Qiyu frowned slightly and let him speak.

"All the subjects of the world know that Your Majesty loves the people."

"However, in the Hongwu Dynasty, when there was no money and food? In the Yongle Dynasty and the Xuande Dynasty, was there no time when the granaries were piled up? ”

"May I ask Your Majesty, why doesn't the court have a tax exemption?"

Zhu Qiyu was slightly stunned: "Geng Qing might as well speak up if he has something to say." ”

The interest was disturbed, and no one was happy.

"Your Majesty, it's easy for you not to accept it, but it's difficult to collect it again!"

These words speak through people's hearts!

You collect taxes every year, and the people scold them every year, but you pay them every year.

But if you don't collect it this year, and if you collect it again next year, the people will not scold, but directly rebel!

People can't be right, dogs can't be fed.

This is the human heart!

The emperor took it for granted that he cut taxes and exempted them everywhere, thinking that it was an act of loving the people, but now that the DPRK and China are financially rich, what can they wait until the time when the finances are tight?

If you collect taxes again, you will be forcing the people to rebel!

The Ming Dynasty has dragged on for more than 200 years, relying on this tax collection system.

But the emperor dug up Emperor Taizu's most proud stroke, the continuation of the root of Guozuo, himself.

Only Geng Jiuchou dared to say this.

Everyone knows that the problem is that the emperor is fast-mouthed, and he cuts taxes at every turn.

However, the emperor is now exempt from tax at every turn, and if he continues to be exempted, after ten years, he will not be able to harvest a grain of rice.

"Your Majesty, what Geng Shangshu said is very true, please be cautious." Yao Kui knelt on the ground.

Peng Shi and Yue Zheng also knelt on the ground: "Please take back your majesty's fate!" ”

"Weichen knows that His Majesty loves the people, but please consider Your Majesty for the sake of the country, and ask Your Majesty to take back your life!" Wang Fu knelt on the ground.

One after another, the courtiers all knelt on the ground.

Even Yu Qian and Sun Yuanzhen knelt on the ground.

I don't know, I think the emperor did something ridiculous.

As everyone knows, the emperor wants to be exempt from taxes, and the courtiers don't agree, shouldn't you shout long live? The style of painting is wrong.

"Zhuqing, if I say that I don't plan to accept it anymore if I reduce it, do you believe it?" Zhu Qiyu whispered.

Don't he know the truth that if you don't collect it this year, you won't be able to collect it next year?

But he had to do it.

It is not to invite people's hearts, but to use agriculture to push back the development of industrialization.

Forcing Da Ming into a corner, can you not think of a way? Why was the Southern Song Dynasty rich and why was Liu Han rich? Isn't it just forced to have no way out and have to develop business?

This is a dangerous military move, but Zhu Qiyu is confident that as long as the Japanese country is captured, the silver will be inexhaustible.

Let's talk about agricultural taxes.

Looking at modern society, is there still an agricultural tax? Not only did they not harvest, but they also gave subsidies to farmers, and they were very afraid that the people would not farm.

The commodity society and the agrarian society are themselves a pair of contradictions.

In ancient feudal society, business has been suppressed, just because they are worried that they will not be able to eat enough.

Why isn't modern society suppressed?

Because of mechanization, there are no more people on the land, and people have to be sent to the industrial assembly line, but they have to eat, so subsidies are given to encourage people to farm.

Zhu Qiyu is vigorously developing business, and the money he earns from business must be more than that of the people, so the people are more willing to do business and do small business.

The emperor exempted himself from taxes and tied the people to the ground.

If we want to make a smooth transition from a small-scale peasant economy to a commodity economy, there is an inevitable process, that is, primitive accumulation.

Primitive accumulation, with the exception of China, is all about bloody robbery.

He also wanted to reverse the process of industrialization through agriculture.

Of course, the important thing is that he has confidence.

He knows how many silver mountains there are overseas, and Daming has the ability to mine these silver mountains, and he has enough money to make confidence, why not force the commodity economy to come quickly?

The commodity economy will only promote the industrial revolution when it comes.

Another point is that he can rely on a large number of slaves to farm land for the Ming Dynasty, which is the British route.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" Geng Jiuchou was dumbfounded.

"Get up, and listen to me speak slowly."

Zhu Qiyu stepped down from the throne: "I have been reading the history of the Yuan Dynasty recently, and the Great Yuan relies on commerce, which is enough to support finances. ”

Seeing Geng Jiuchou's rebuttal, Zhu Qiyu pressed his hand slightly: "I really want to emulate, but it is very clear that Da Ming is not Da Yuan, and he can't follow suit." ”

"A few years ago, Ye Sheng went to the chapter, and the chapter said that in the country of Boni, there is a mountain of silver, and there is silver everywhere."

"I'm thinking about one thing, if I move Yinshan back to Daming, Daming won't be short of money, what do I collect agricultural taxes for?"

"Geng Jiuchou, you are the head of the household department, you calculate the accounts for me, the Ming Dynasty has about 10 million taels of silver, I sent someone to Yinshan and moved 10 million taels back, you say, which is easier?"

Geng Jiuchou felt that something was wrong here, but he couldn't say it.

Yao Kui said: "Your Majesty, only money and nothing will only lead to the worthlessness of silver." ”

Zhu Qiyu found that Yao Kui was not good at fooling.

I also understand the relationship between labor and value.

"Yao Qing, the center is just confiscating taxes, but the people are working, what they produce is what they produce, I can use this money to buy what they produce."

"That's—that's a fallacy." Yao Kui couldn't say the noun.

"Yao Kui, I will ask you again, the Ming Dynasty manages 60 million people, and uses these 60 million people to support the Ming court."

"I'm going out there and taking ten million slaves, and they're going to work for me day and night."

"If you don't need 10 million, you can find 5 million slaves."

"Use them with your life, Yao Kui, you calculate for me, is it because they produce more for me, or more for 60 million people?"

Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.

Yao Kui spread his hands: "Your Majesty, we are the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, how can we always bully the wild people of the lower country!" ”

"You also said that they are wild people in the lower country, so is it natural to work for me?"

"The whole world is not the king's land, the ministers of the whole world are not the king's ministers, these 60 million people are my people, and those 5 million are not my people."

"Yao Kui, you tell me! Am I right? ”

Zhu Qiyu is crooked again!

The key courtiers were left speechless.

From a legal point of view, the people of the world, no matter which country they are, as long as they are panting, they are all Zhu Qiyu's people, and he can use them however he wants, there is nothing wrong with them.

The people only pay taxes, and the slaves don't want to do anything, of course, the slaves make money.

Yao Kui made it clear that he couldn't say anything about the emperor: "Your Majesty, the old minister invites Qiu Jun to enter the palace!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Xing Guogong, tell me, am I right?" ”

Yu Qian was silent.

"So, Geng Qing, you don't have to keep your eyes on that little agricultural tax, I don't look down on that little money."

Zhu Qiyu said: "I like to go and bring the silver mountain back and make tens of billions of silver coins, which will not be spent in hundreds of years. ”

"Your Majesty, even if you have money, where will you get the food?" Geng Jiuchou asked another very stupid question.

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "I spend money to buy it!" Will the people not sell it to me? ”

The courtiers did not understand the economy, and they did not talk to the emperor on the same frequency.

"Please also ask Your Majesty not to directly liberalize the tax exemption policy, but to come little by little, step by step, preferably within fifty years, completely tax exemption."

Geng Jiuchou could only delay, go back to school, and have to argue with the emperor.

Let the emperor not be allowed to be exempt from taxes.

A very interesting scene happened in Daming.

In the past, it was the hundred officials who talked about the people's livelihood and suffering, but now the hundred officials begged the emperor not to be exempt from taxes, and if it was avoided, the Ming Dynasty would be gone.

"Yi Gengqing's."

Zhu Qiyu didn't keep his mouth shut, anyway, he was tax-free on a whim, which made the courtiers stare dryly.

"I didn't let me finish my words."

"If the agricultural tax is exempted, the commercial tax will increase."

"After the year, make a list, transfer the money that should be paid for agricultural taxes to the commercial tax, and the taxes exempted from the previous decree will be calculated according to the number of years, and when the years are reached, they will be collected immediately."

When the courtier heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If the emperor doesn't collect taxes at all, then his head is broken.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

When did the officials beg the emperor to collect taxes?

Baiguan actually felt a little ashamed.

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Come on, present it!" ”

The eunuch came in with a tray covered with a red cloth.

"I was interrupted."

Zhu Qiyu stepped down from the throne and uncovered the red cloth with his own hands, which were three giant scrolls.

"Open it!"

One eunuch erected the scroll, the other slowly opened it, and a strangely laid out map was displayed in front of the hundred officials.

This is a colorful map of Daming!

In the way of modern graffiti maps, embroidered with stitches and threads, the characters are also horizontal, but the division of areas is very clear and the outline is clear.

"W-This?" The courtiers were stunned by the colorful map.

The map that Zhu Qiyu usually looks at is also black and white!

It's all vertical characters, and Zhu Qiyu is dizzy, but fortunately, the map is big enough, otherwise he would have to be blind.

This time, the map was drawn in a modern way using colorful graffiti.

Much more comfortable.

At the place of payment, it is written that Jingtai has been in the ninth year, and it has been a great contributor......

Leave the name blank.

"Look, this is the map of the Ming Dynasty!"

North Korea, Cochin, Hami, impressively among them!

Obviously, the emperor had already estimated it, so he sent the needlework bureau to embroider it early.

Actually, no, this is added later.

The map has just become larger, and it is difficult for the skilled embroiderers in the palace.

Yu Qian got closer and found that the golden strip was embroidered with gold silk, and the silver was silver wire, such a map was worth a thousand gold.

"These three maps, I want to give the three people who have contributed the most this year!"

Zhu Qiyu's voice came: "This first one, I want to give it to Wang Yue!" ”

"Wang Yue swallowed North Korea, the merit is in history, great achievements, Jingtai nine years, the first great merit, I thought it should be Wang Yue!"

The courtiers complained about Wang Yue's acquisition of the first map.

Wang Yue did not completely encompass North Korea, and now North Korea is still at war, and there are still variables, who is afraid of repeating it at this time, won't he slap the emperor in the face at that time?

The problem is that you have to hold back your dissatisfaction.

This is a reward, and the courtiers can't go on the field in person and bargain with the emperor, right? The face is always a must.

"I want to give this second piece to Zhu Ying."

"Shandong has become the land of peach orchards under Zhu Ying's rule for two years, and Zhu Ying has made great contributions to the province of paradise."

"So, this map is given to Zhu Ying!"

Zhu Qiyu wants to establish Zhu Ying as a brand, and let the world's governors learn from him.

I don't care what the people do, I want to see the political achievements.

"The third map, I want to give it to Jin Zhong."

"Don't look at Jin Zhong as a eunuch, but ploughing Jiangxi, the merit is great, the center can smoothly reform the silver coin, Jin Zhong is the first merit."

"Although it is an internal servant, what should be rewarded is to be rewarded!"

"This third map is given to Jin Zhong!"

This map is the least controversial.

Because Jin Zhong brought more than 200 million silver to the center, and now he has gone to Nanzhili to make money, such a God of Wealth has to hold some points.

Now all three are not in Beijing.

After embroidering their names, they were given all to their homes, and a holy decree was given to them to tell them about themselves.

"Last year, I gave Wenchen a jade carving, and this year's jade carving is different from last year's.

"Bring it on!"

The eunuch presented a tray on which were three delicate jade carvings in the shape of corn.

There is a line of small characters on the jade carving: Jingtai nine years, a civil official who has made great contributions in the dynasty.

"In fact, there are many civil officials who should be given jade carvings this year, such as Li Bing and Wang Shu in Rehe, Yuan Jie in Ningxia, Kou Shen in Gansu, Wang Lai, Gong Yongji, Xuan Hui in Xuanzhen, Li Xian in Liaoning, Cheng Xin and Luo Qi in North Korea, Zhu Ying and Xiang Zhong in Shandong, Zhang Feng in Jiangnan, Ma Jin in Jiangxi, Nianfu and Han Yong in Lianghu, Xue Xuan and Xue Yuan in Liangguang, Xia Xun, Bian Yong, Pan Benyu in Jiaozhi, and Li Kuang in Guizhou, all qualified!"

Zhu Qiyu said these names, all of which have made great contributions this year.

"This is local, and all of you in the center, Geng Qing, Bai Qing, Yao Qing, Wang Qing, etc., are all qualified to compete for these three places."

"I want to forge fifty jade carvings."

"What Zhuqing did this year, I see it in my eyes, and I am very satisfied."

"But since the rules have been set, we must follow the rules, and select three from among the many famous ministers, and they will have the greatest credit this year."

The courtiers were a little nervous, but they always felt that they had little to do with themselves.

The competitive pressure is too great.

There are too many officials who have made meritorious achievements this year.

"This first jade carving, I want to give Bai Gui, who has worked the most hard this year!"

Baekyu choked up and wanted to cry.

Last year, it should have belonged to him, but it was given to Geng Jiuchou.

This year it was finally his turn.

He fell to his knees and held his hands in the air.

The emperor carved the jade in both hands and placed it in the palm of his hand.

"Bai Qing, the burden of the Ministry of Rites is heavy, you have to continue to bear it for the court." Zhu Qiyu patted him on the shoulder.

The jade carving is corn-shaped, with corn kernels, neatly and staggeredly sorted, exquisite carving, and the most important thing is the value.

It reads, Jingtai for nine years, the first credit among the Wenchen.

There is no name, and the carver will add it after the royal gift.

These things, even if they are wiped out one day, they will not be taken back, this is the thing that can be passed on for eternity.

"This second statue is going to be given to Kou Shen!"

"Kou Shen governed Gansu and Ningxia, and he made great achievements, and he annexed Hami with the army, and the credit is so great that I think the merit is immeasurable!"

Wenchen was not convinced by each other, Kou Shen was taking advantage of the light of the terrain, Hami was so weak, whoever went could be calmed.

Zhu Qiyu said: "The third one will be given to ......."

Bai Gui and Kou Shen, he thought about it a long time ago.

But for the third one, there are two candidates, Xiang Zhong and Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin's plan to seize the door of North Korea was the second major achievement in recovering North Korea.

Xiang Zhong is a hero who assisted Zhu Ying to govern Shandong, and at the same time he is leading his troops to clean up the Japanese at sea, the key is that this person is proficient in water warfare, cavalry warfare, and foot warfare, and is an all-rounder, and he will be of great use in the future, so he should be bought.

"Give it to Cheng Xin!"

"Cheng Xin has been an envoy to North Korea for nearly two years, influencing the situation in North Korea, providing opportunities for Jurchen soldiers to enter North Korea, and planning to seize the door to create an opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to recover North Korea."

"His merits are worthy of this third jade carving!"

Zhu Qiyu still has a layer of ideas, he wants to win over the Yingfu faction.

Now the Yingfu faction is raising its head in the localities, such as Xu Hui, Cheng Xin, Luo Qi, Feng Qing, Xue Yuan, Liao Zhuang and others, all of whom were Zhu Qizhen's henchmen.

It's all reused now.

Therefore, he needs to tell the Yingfu faction that I am broad-minded and use talents in an eclectic manner.

In order to do the right thing, he tried his best to create a relaxed political environment, hide his gloomy thoughts, and make concessions for the sake of ideals.

Just let it go to the end.

Let the world see that I Zhu Qiyu is tolerant.

The courtiers were surprised by this candidate, and in an instant they understood the emperor's deep meaning, which was to win over the Yingfu faction.

The emperor used the Yingfu faction again, and he was also telling other courtiers that as long as I was able, I didn't ask anything else.

I even told the courtiers of the world that as long as you are able, I will enable you, no matter what you have done.

Many courtiers were disappointed.

They all felt that they had done a lot of things, but they were not favored by the emperor.

"I see what you have done, you have done very well this year, I am also very satisfied with what the local governor has done, and the local officials have also done very well."

Zhu Qiyu encouraged.

The eunuch brought up the third tray.

It's a golden firebolt, but it's not the same as last year's, last year's gun is a gun, and this year's is a gun.

"This is the latest arquebus developed by the Ordnance Bureau."

"Light the rope and you can shoot it."

Zhu Qiyu played with the golden gun, which was made in a one-to-one ratio, and it could also be fired.

"This first handful, I want to give it to Xiang Zhong!"

"Although Xiang Zhong is a civil servant, but Shandong Dazhi, he is suppressing bandits, and cooperating with Zhu Ying to properly resettle the displaced people, which can be described as a high level of hard work, enough to give the title."

The courtiers were slightly surprised by Xiang Zhong's candidate, and the other two people were almost certain.

"The second one, give it to Tao Cheng!"

"Tao Cheng was ordered to recover more than 70 cities in Annan, which should be sealed!"

The courtiers were directly stunned, shouldn't they give it to Fang Ying?

In the battle of Annam, the greatest credit is Fang Ying!

Why did it become pottery?

The emperor did not take the usual path: "This third one should be given to Li Zhen, who made the greatest contribution in the defense of Nanjing!" ”

It's not right again!

The person expected by the courtiers should be Chen You.

But the three candidates for the emperor were all unexpected.

But there is a strong political overtone.

Xiang Zhong and Li Zhen indicated that the emperor's next step was to deal with the Japanese invaders.

Given to Tao Cheng, it is to tell the people of the world that the greatest credit is the one on the front line, and encourage the general to go to the front line to supervise the war.

A fourth tray is presented.

This year, the eunuch was not given last year's jade plaque, but a palace made of glass, made according to the value room where the eunuch lived.

The transparent glass allows you to see each other's faces on the opposite side, which is very delicate and beautiful.

It reads: Jingtai nine years, the eunuch with the greatest credit.

"This first palace pavilion, I want to give it to Feng Xiao, who is by my side, who is conscientious, gives advice to the government and politics, and says good things for the secretaries."

I didn't give it to Feng Xiao last year, which made Feng Xiao sad for a long time.

The first one was given to him this year, and there was no suspense.

But the second one, it's interesting.

There were wars in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and there were not no eunuchs with great achievements, such as Qin Cheng, Jin Zhong, and Wang Cheng, all of whom had military achievements.

"I will give this second deity to ...... Dong Ci, who is in charge of the royal trading house, has a flexible mind, and racks his brains for the finances of the country! ”

This candidate, although reasonable, is unexpected.

Dong Ci does have a lot of credit, but businessman is a small way after all, and the emperor gave it to him, which is enough to show that the emperor should pay more attention to business.

There are only two candidates for the third statue, one is Zhang Yong, who is conscientious and conscientious in the ceremonial supervisor, and the other is Wang Cheng, who supervises the army in Anhui.

It depends on how the emperor chooses.

"This third statue, I want to give it to Zhang Yong, who is conscientious in the palace and reviews the folds every day!"

The courtier was stunned again.

It should be given to Wang Cheng.

It's not that you don't give, but you don't have enough points.

This year, Zhang Yong, who was in the ceremonial supervisor, has made great progress, and he already has the demeanor of Da Jue, and he handles the government in an orderly manner.

If they are all given the merit of pioneering, the eunuch who leads the army.

So who is willing to work hard in the center in the future?

After all, the people who do these practical things will not be recorded in history, and these people are the talents who maintain the chaos of the government.

Zhu Qiyu must do a good job of balance, and he needs talents in all aspects.

So it was given to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong, who was in the celebrant supervisor, heard that he was given a palace pavilion, covered his face and cried for a long time, he was working diligently in the celebrant eunuch, and the emperor saw it in his eyes, so he was content.

There was a strange situation in the Jingtai Dynasty.

In the past, they were all ministers in the center and in front of the emperor, and they had the greatest credit.

In the Jingtai Dynasty, the local officials were the most credited, and the emperor was beside him, and the emperor was even dark, and he could not see it often.

"Zhuqing, if you don't get a reward, don't be discouraged, if you get a reward, make persistent efforts."

Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "Those who have made great contributions this year, according to the list, will set up a monument in their hometown, and after a hundred years, build a temple to worship." ”

"Even if you make a mistake in the future, even if it is the crime of stealing the family and exterminating the family, this reward will not be withdrawn, and the sculpture built will not be destroyed, and the great merit will not be destroyed by fault!"

These words are loud and clear.

But when it comes to the hearts of the courtiers, the emperor often turns over the small intestines and finds the back account, which gives people a great sense of insecurity.

"I mention a few people, in Jinan, set up a stele for Zhu Ying, at the original site of Hancheng, for Cheng Xin and Luo Qishu, in Hami, for Chen You and Kou Shen, in Tangzhou, for Fang Ying and Tao Chengshu."

The courtiers were slightly stunned, don't you consider the thoughts of the local people?

"I have been famous and famous in China from ancient times to the present, it is difficult to count, and next year, all of them will be in the place where they have made contributions, and the monument will be passed on, so that future generations will admire."

"Also, in all the places occupied by the Ming Dynasty, in every city, the Ming Dragon Banner must be set up, and the Ming national emblem must be hung, which will never be removed."

Zhu Qiyu attaches great importance to the national flag.

"The day after tomorrow, it's been ten years of Jingtai!"

"Jingtai ten years, I hope that Daming will have a new look."

"I hope that the Yellow River will no longer cause disasters, and the faces of the people on both sides of the river are happy;"

"I hope that education will be opened to all provinces, and students in the world will have books to read and teachers to teach, and the faces of students in the world will be full of smiles;"

"I hope to see that the people's families have spare money, food, and prosperity, and that there are smiling faces in the people's homes."

"I hope that there will be no bandits, no displaced people, no injustice, no difficult roads in the world, no people who can't see newspapers, no corrupt officials in the world, no lawless gentry, no bullying magnates......

"I hope that in Jingtai for ten years, the people can fill their stomachs and wear warm clothes; The construction of Rehe and Ningxia was completed, and North Korea, Hami, Turpan, and Jiaozhi could return to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty; The world is peaceful, there is no war, the people settle down and start a business, and the country is peaceful. ”

Zhu Qiyu sat back on the throne: "I hope that the ten years of Jingtai are an unusual year. ”

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

The courtiers knelt on the ground, and the mountain shouted long live.

What the emperor said is that these things are being done now, there is no big reason, they are all common words and things of the people in the world.

This is the Holy Monarch, the emperor who puts the people in his heart, and the emperor who truly loves the country and the people.

"Today is the ninth year of Jingtai, the last early dynasty."

"Is there something to do?"

Next, it is time to deal with the world's government affairs.

It was busy until noon, and then I got off the court.

Wuying Palace, Zhu Qiyu intends to use it as a place to reward hundreds of officials.

Back at the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhu Qiyu had lunch first.

Feng Xiao was moved and secretly choked, and the eunuchs who served in the Heart Cultivation Hall also wanted to receive this honor.

"Emperor, how to arrange the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year?" Feng Xiao asked in a low voice.

"Just take a picture of the family, don't sit at the same table to eat."

The anger in Zhu Qiyu's heart has not passed.

Although Empress Tang was honored as the queen, she only lived in the cold Kunning Palace, and the emperor didn't look at her at all.

"What about the king of the Uja county?"

"Don't enter the palace, let him eat in the house, and give him a barbecue, don't snub him." Zhu Qiyu is doing it for the kings.

During the New Year, it's just a face.

It's been a year of little fun.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a set of clichéd processes, Zhu Qiyu was tired and faint.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner looked at each other, and when they showed up, they dispersed, and they went back to each palace to eat, and no one dared to touch the emperor's moldy head.

Everyone could see that the emperor was not in a good mood.

Zhu Qiyu left Hu Guiju to sleep.

And the Xingguo Mansion.

In Yu Qian's family, Yu Kang still served at home.

The emperor gave a barbecue banquet, and everyone feasted and ate very comfortably.

But Yu Qian's mood is obviously not high, and he has no interest in writing a poem.

After eating, he went back to his room and "thought about it".

Gain, the emperor ordered him to train as a sailor, but he was not allowed to leave Beijing, which made him remote control in the center, and it was difficult to spread his fists and feet in many things.

"The emperor is guarding against me."

Yu Qian looked at the wall and sighed: "As a last resort, let me be contaminated with military power, but I am on guard everywhere, heh......"

"But you know what?"

"Since I train the sailors, I will naturally insert my people, how can you prevent it?"

Yu Qian became sleek, he didn't want to be a saint anymore, he wanted to be a prince even more.

The drill of 500,000 sailors, this is his opportunity to seize the military power.

But the emperor still guarded him and did not allow him to leave Beijing, fearing that he would support the army and rebel.

Don't underestimate human ambition.

Ambition grows with strength.

In the past, Yu Qian didn't want military power, because he wanted to be a saint.

Now Yu Qian needs military power, and only by using military power can he have bargaining chips with the emperor.

Don't look at the suitability of monarchs and ministers in the early dynasty, in fact, they are all made for the hundred officials to see, and everyone is fighting for each other.

"You are rewarding you today, but you don't have my name Yu Qian."

"Isn't it just to guard against me?"

"Who's your spy on my side? If I make any moves, they'll kill me right away, right? ”

Yu Qian muttered to himself: "Is it Kang'er?" ”

"Do you really trust him?"

"Heh......"

"Your Majesty, you are in too much of a hurry, and sooner or later you will get a backlash, this is the rule of the world, not how you govern."

"You want to be good to the people, but when the people rebel against you everywhere, do you still want to be good to them?"

"What you give is what the people really need?"

"You're naïve."

"Alas, you guard against me."

"Don't let me supervise Nan Zhili, but choose Hu Hu's old slippery head, look at it, you will regret it."

Yu Qian, who has a worldly heart, has become extremely terrifying.

No one can fathom his thoughts.

At the same time, after the emperor had sex, he was also pondering Yu Qian's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking?" Hu Guiju surrounded the emperor.

She recuperated for a few months before her body recovered.

But doctors say she may never be able to conceive again.

Is it possible to say that she doesn't hate?

She buried the thought deep in her heart and never told anyone.

Lin Yu, who entered the palace with her, was pregnant again.

Chen, the daughter of Chen Xianzhang, who has served the emperor for a long time, is also pregnant.

This year ago, several nobles in the palace were pregnant.

"I'm thinking about Xing Guogong."

Zhu Qiyu doesn't care about his relatives interfering in politics, he is not like Emperor Taizu who guards against his relatives, because it is something that can never be avoided when relatives interfere in politics.

Didn't the Empress Dowager Zhang also reign for seven years?

If you want to get rid of foreign relatives interfering in politics, you have to let the emperor live a long time, and his son is old, so don't die early, otherwise there will either be a powerful minister, or a foreign relative will interfere in politics.

This is no way to do it, it is better to block than to sparse.

"Xing Guogong holds the power of the army, aren't you worried, Your Majesty?" Hu Guiju asked boldly.

"No, I didn't feel sorry for Xing Guogong, he didn't have to rebel." Zhu Qiyu said to play.

Don't frame a person with righteousness.

In the face of power, those are nonsense, and power will push people forward, so Zhuge Liang is great.

In the eyes of the emperor, the best courtier is like Zhuge Liang.

"It's just that 500,000 male soldiers are all from his hands, which will inevitably affect the relationship between him and me."

Aren't you still worried?

Hu Guiju whispered: "When the concubine speaks, can it be regarded as interfering in politics?" ”

"On the collapse of me, what kind of politics is it? It's just a whisper between you and me. ”

The word husband and wife touched Hu Guiju's nerves, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Your Majesty, you can return to Beijing in the crown." ”

Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrank: "Go on." ”

"The concubine is finished." Hu Guiju played a trick.

That's right, if you want to control the saint Yu Qian, you have to use it for Qian's reputation; But if you want to control Yu Qian, who is bent on being the king, you have to use his son.

Yu Qian only has an only son, and without a son, he is lonely when he is a king.

Seeing that the emperor was silent for a long time, Hu Guiju called out, couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and continued: "Xing Guogong has no opponent in the court. ”

Back to the point!

The root of this mistake lies in Zhu Qiyu.

At the beginning, in order to disintegrate the head of the army, Yu Qian was forced to be stuffed into it, and Yu Qian was named the prince of the country to balance the forces in the army.

In this way, Yu Qian changed from a civil official to a nobleman.

There is no opponent on the side of the civilian officials.

Originally, the civil and military were opposed, and the emperor could be as stable as Mount Tai.

Yu Qian himself is a civil official, and he has an excellent reputation among civil officials, but now he has become a nobleman, which is equivalent to having two sources, and there is no natural enemy at all.

That's why the emperor is distressed.

"How?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Guiju's slightly fat face, fair and round, but really good-looking.

is worthy of being Hu Hui's granddaughter, Zhuge in the female middle school.

"There are many people in the DPRK who are more senior than Xing Guogong and older than Xing Guogong, but he is also the prince of the country and the first assistant, do you say that the people's hearts will be convinced?"

Hu Guiju was too bold to say this.

There is also a deep meaning in this sentence, that is, the aura brought by Xing Guogong's military exploits in the past and the present is dissipating.

An opportunity should be found to break his aura apart.

The emperor can handle him.

"Who do you think is suitable?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

"Your Majesty, the concubines are just harem women, how do you know that there were so many officials in the previous dynasty?" Hu Guiju didn't dare to say.

Her grandfather is the most suitable!

Zhu Qiyu hugged her: "I can marry you, it's a blessing." ”

"The concubine marrying the saint is the blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes." Hu Guiju wanted to kneel down and thank you.

Zhu Qiyu was about to move and wanted to do it again, but thinking of the imperial doctor's advice, let's suppress it for the time being.

Hu Guiju also thought that the problem was that the emperor contained herself, and she didn't dare to ask for it.

You can only use your hands secretly......

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the palaces did not live well.

The concubines with the highest rank in the palace, the queen and the concubine, did not receive the reward, but the low-ranking ones all received the reward.

Jingtai ten years, the first day of the new year.

Zhu Qiyu watched the concert in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts.

"Emperor, Annan urgent."

Zhu Qiyu thought that Annan was fighting again, but it turned out to be Bian Yong's recital, and the thick secret music was two books thick.

All are written in the form of a diary.

It's like chatting with the emperor, and using this way of writing can make the emperor feel the state of mind when Bian Yong wrote these words, with worries, surprises, and doubts, which can put the emperor in the situation.

Zhu Qiyu watched it with relish, until he saw that he had bought corn seeds, and immediately asked, "Does Liu Zhenhai have any secret music?" ”

"Back to the emperor, there is a secret recital on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and there is no 'urgency' written on it, so I haven't read it for the time being." Feng Xiao replied.

Because the palace is busy with the New Year, I don't have time to watch.

Soon a eunuch arrived.

Liu Zhenhai wrote in the secret recital that Pan Benyu led a large number of ships to Guangzhou, and on it was a list of all purchases.

Zhu Qiyu looked at it carefully, and asked the eunuchs in the palace to come over for staff.

The family of hundreds of officials is celebrating the New Year, and now the edict is coming to discuss matters, which is inevitably a little unkind.

In the purchase list, there were two ships of corn seeds, more than 100 warships, some ordnance, some daily necessities, and some other seeds.

Each of them is very expensive.

Xiyi regarded Daming as a fat sheep and scavenged wool to death.

"Emperor, this price is too high, this corn seed, measured in silk?" Feng Xiao was speechless.

"Buy!"

Zhu Qiyu said: "Buy all the seeds, and tell those merchants that all the seeds purchased by the Ming Dynasty are traded in silk!" ”

"Emperor, businessmen are extremely greedy, and they don't talk about credibility, if you buy them on a large scale, they will definitely deceive us with shoddy products." Feng Xiao didn't believe in Shang Jia.

"It's okay, lie to us, maybe it's a good thing."

Zhu Qiyu didn't care: "Tell them that the seeds and books were purchased by the Ming Dynasty, and they were all traded with porcelain and silk." ”

"Emperor, they are all uncivilized, what's the use of books?" Feng Xiao was puzzled, the books of the Ming Dynasty represent the highest civilization.

"Feng Xiao, don't sit in the well and watch the sky."

"Huh?" Feng Xiao was stunned, Daming is a well? You're kidding!

Zhu Qiyu explained to him: "Paper is expensive no matter where it is, and the things that can be written on paper are the most precious." ”

"And silk and porcelain, I can make them casually, and I am exchanging some playthings for knowledge and the future, and this transaction is not a loss."

Indeed, businessmen are all treacherous.

Surely take fake seeds, cheat silk.

However, among these fake seeds, what if there are crops that Zhu Qiyu can not hope for?

Even if it's flowers, it's good.

"Then pass on the decree to Liu Zhenhai, all the seeds will be planted in Guangxi."

"Send a message to Xu Hui and ask him to send a person who is proficient in growing corn to Guangxi and manage these seeds."

"To make Xue Xuan draw a piece of land, we must pay great attention to the cultivation of these seeds, and there must be no mistakes."

"As for the battleship, it will be delivered to Zhu Yong, merged with the Annan battleship, and handed over to the shipwright for imitation."

"Other things, after the rivers thaw, they will be transported to Jingshi."

Nowadays, corn is cultivated in two places, Liaoning and Jingshi.

"Eight hundred miles to expedit, give Liu Zhenhai an order, be sure to do a good job of trade with Xiyi merchants, and attract more Xiyi to trade in Daming."

"And ask for their assistance as appropriate to defeat the pirates."

"Then send people from the center to learn their language from these Xiyi merchants, write them all down, and wait for the books to arrive, and all of them will be translated."

"Leave it to the Siyi Pavilion to do, I need talents who are proficient in the languages of all ethnic groups in the world."

Zhu Qiyu is salivating over culture.

Chinese civilization has a long history, and its roots are culture.

He can burn the culture of Annam and North Korea, because their culture comes from the Ming Dynasty, but there are some countries' cultures, he has to protect.

All of them were translated and became the culture of the Ming Dynasty.

And then burn their culture!

Zhu Qiyu thought of a lot in an instant: "Go, announce all the important ministers, I have important matters to discuss." ”

"Emperor, you have said it, this is the New Year."

"Prepare some gifts and give them to the important ministers when they leave the palace."

I waited for an hour.

It was already afternoon, and the important minister was late.

Everyone celebrated the New Year at home, and was announced by the emperor with a holy decree.

After the ceremony, Zhu Qiyu gave Bian Yong and Liu Zhenhai's secret music to the courtiers to read.

"Your Majesty, this price is too expensive, isn't it?" Geng Jiuchou frowned.

"It's okay, the price is not a problem, as long as they bring us seeds and books, I am willing to spend as much as I want."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I am not here to discuss this matter. ”

"The King of Siam respects the Ming Dynasty very much on the surface, but in fact, he took the gift of the Ming Dynasty and sold it to Xiyi to earn the difference."

"Zhuqing should know, right?"

The courtier nodded, this is a tacit matter.

That reward is nothing to the Ming Dynasty, and it can still make the King of Siam pay tribute every year, why not?

Tribute is also a way to communicate with each other.

"I'm thinking, now that the waterway is not passable, can I go out of the Silk Road by land?"

Zhu Qiyu walked to the map and pointed to Guangxi: "Starting from Guangxi, go to Annam, Laos, Cambodia, and Siam, so as to walk out of a Silk Road." ”

"In Siam, you can take a boat to go to the body poison, or you can take the ancient tea horse road from Yunnan to trade with the body poison."

It's about bypassing Myanmar.

This place in Myanmar, and the Great Ming Dynasty, no matter which dynasty is established, they have to fight with the Ming Dynasty, as if they don't fight the Ming Dynasty, they can't show their strength.

Myanmar has never been unified since ancient times, and it was the British and French colonizers who forcibly kneaded together to form today's Myanmar.

This place has always been a war.

Now too, Bagu and Ava are about to hit the dog's brain, and there is a Luchuan River adjacent to Yunnan.

The three countries are in the shape of a long strip and are exactly three countries.

How many tribes are there in it, wrapped up in chaos, anyway, this place is a mess.

Not to mention Laos, Laos is the weakest country on the Indochina Peninsula, Annam, Siam, and Burma can clean him up at will, and Cambodia also plagues him.

The name Laos was given by Emperor Taizong.

This is a super big weak chicken.

The geographical location is also rotten, and there is no rich place in China, so Zhu Qiyu also looks down on it.

"What does Your Majesty want?" Yao Kui asked first.

"I'll tell you the truth, I'm poisoned."

"The body poison is too far away from us, and the troops can't reach it for the time being."

"But don't hinder it, let's trade with them, the body poison is relatively close to Xiyi, I want to set up a stronghold in the body poison and trade with Xiyi."

To put it bluntly, it's the colonial one.

But to cross the entire Indochina Peninsula to colonize, a bit of a given.

"Your Majesty, what's so good about being poisoned?" Yao Kui didn't understand, during the Chinese New Year, the emperor suddenly sent an edict to hundreds of officials, just for this?

"I have two meanings."

"First, there is a lot of trade, the Ming Dynasty is closed and self-locked, there is no benefit, go to see more countries in Central and South China, and send businessmen to make money."

"Second, I am familiar with the environment in Central and South China, and I have sent troops back and forth to establish strongholds in various places, and annex country by country."

Zhu Qiyu paused slightly: "As for the body poison, I also want to establish a stronghold, trade more, and understand each other." ”

He can't say that he has the best land in Asia, and if he occupies it, he can feed the two billion people of the Ming Dynasty.

Dreaming is not omnipotent, there is no good excuse.

If all officials don't look at the world, how can they know that the world is good!

"How many soldiers does Your Majesty want to send?" Yao Kui asked again.

"Tens of thousands, open up the New Silk Road."

Yao Kui rolled his eyes, this is a trivial matter, do you want to toss us?

"The old minister has no opinion."

"The ministers have no opinion."

The courtiers all thought it was a trivial matter, and they would do it if they exchanged trade, and if there was something beneficial, they would do it.

Tens of thousands of people are nothing to the Ming Dynasty, and the government is rich and rich, so it is a toss.

"This is the first thing to summon the secretaries."

"The second thing, I want to send Pan Benyu as an envoy to Europa!"

This is Zhu Qiyu's purpose.

"Envoy Europa?"

Geng Jiuchou smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, we don't have a treasure ship, why don't we wait for the treasure ship to be built successfully, and then send an envoy?" ”

"I mean, with the merchant ships going to Europa."

"Bian Yong wrote in the letter that there are many countries in Europa, which are Xiyi who trade with us."

"The firearms of the Franc machine, Zhu Qing is deeply touched."

"This Franc machine is in Europa, just a corner of the place, that Europa, more extensive than the Ming Dynasty, there are many countries, according to the boast of the merchants, all of them are powerful."

"I want to send Pan Benyu to Europa, and then invite the envoys of Europa countries to come to Daming."

"Geng Qing is worried that there is no treasure ship, in fact, we should be more worried, how to get to Europa, there is no chart, we can't find it."

Zheng He didn't go to Europa, so he stopped.

The current sea route is in the hands of Spain and the big cannibals, and the Ming Dynasty can't go at all.

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "I want to send an envoy, after the navigation between each other, there will be a chart, and when the treasure ship is built, I can send a fleet to Europa!" ”

The courtiers all disagreed with this.

Where the hell is Europa? Will there be any danger on the road? How do I get back?

What if Pan Benyu was killed by those businessmen on the way?

This is a very normal thing, these businessmen, in fact, are all pirates, and they are not too familiar with this kind of thing.

Daming did not have a treasure ship, so it was difficult to make a mission.

"Your Majesty, it's better to wait a few years for the envoy of the country, and first invite the envoys of Europa to envoy Daming, what do you think?"

Bai Gui said: "We can invite the Great Food Envoy to come to Daming." ”

Big food, let's cook.

Walking the Silk Road in the Western Regions, the end point is the big food.

"I know that it is very dangerous to travel tens of thousands of miles across the sea, but I feel that if I don't take a look at Europa in person, I am very worried that the Franc will attack the Ming Dynasty."

Are you here again?

When you imitate a firearm, you will be deceived!

Europa is far away from Daming, how to attack Daming?

"Your Majesty, after all, the mission is a matter of nine deaths, please ask Pan Benyu's opinion." Yao Kui: This is nonsense.

The emperor's order, and the opinions of your ministers, think too much, right?

"Well, this year, if you don't send an envoy to Europa, you will send poison and food, how about it?" Zhu Qiyu took a step back.

Da Ming didn't know that the Great Food had already been destroyed by Hülegü.

There are also tablets for other people's Hülegü, and they don't know their merits, so it's clear that they are fake confessions.

"Your Majesty, we don't know what that big food looks like now." Geng Jiuchou smiled bitterly.

"So let's go check it out."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Pick out an envoy from the court, send an envoy to eat, and send another envoy to poison the body." ”

Seeing that the emperor's decision had been decided, the courtiers had no opinion.

Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied: "The selection of the cabinet is decided, and then a group of people who are not afraid of death and want to go to a foreign country to make contributions will be sent together." ”

"Order the nations to supply my mission."

What the hell is the world like?

Da Ming is all from the history books of Da Yuan, it was hundreds of years ago, Zhu Qiyu is really blind to the world.

"For the New Year, I will go to Zhuqing."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "That's it, there are still some barbecue seasonings in the palace, when Zhu Qing goes home, bring one back and give it to his family to taste." ”

The courtier's eyes lit up, and the spicy taste was really good.

They also tried it in the morning, but none of them smelled of chili peppers.

Using pepper as a barbecue seasoning, the powerful are tired of eating, it's not a new thing, and the chili pepper is the soul.

"Your Majesty, you said that this chili pepper is popular, how young is it?" Geng Jiuchou is so spicy.

"At our speed, don't think about it in a hundred years."

Zhu Qiyu said: "So I sent an envoy to the world to take a look, in case any country is full of chili peppers, we will kill him and snatch the chili peppers back!" ”

Geng Jiuchou actually nodded.

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Geng Qing, let's trade a lot with the Yi people, and the chili peppers will naturally come." ”

"As far as I know, there are many varieties of this pepper, and this is just one of them, so it's not very delicious."

The courtier's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, are there other chili peppers in your dream?" ”

"When you look at the world, you will know that you are waiting, sitting in a well and watching the sky."

The courtiers don't believe it at all, the Ming Dynasty is the sky!

Zheng He said when he went to the West, there are savages everywhere, and the Ming Dynasty is the most civilized country, there is no one!

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and let them go down.

It is necessary to send an envoy to poison the body and to Central Asia.

It is best to establish trading posts along the way, so that your troops can come to the city in the future.

After the courtiers retreated, Zhu Qiyu was still thinking about it, and muttered: "There is no world map, no matter how to go, there is no road map, we have to rely on us to get out step by step." ”

"Spread the decree to the place, recruit a group of people from the people who are not afraid of death, and make poison and food for me!"

In these days, people are too superstitious and too afraid of the unknown.

Zhu Qiyu plans to send 10,000 troops to poison the body and establish a stronghold in the poison.

I made a wish of 15,000 the day before yesterday, and I owed a thousand words yesterday, so 16,000, pay it off!
