The courtiers felt that surgery was harmful to heaven and peace, how could people dig up their own bodies and put things in their flesh and blood, which was simply inhumane.

But the emperor was very supportive, and he didn't know how many teams he raised.

In the sixteenth year of Jingtai, the opposition of the people was too loud, and the emperor abolished some departments, and then completely went underground.

Many surgeons, due to public opinion, had to change their careers to study Chinese medicine or go to the army to become military doctors.

Most of the people who serve today are Indians, Timur, Europa and other people.

They were all given Han nationality, married Han women, and settled in Beijing.

No one knows how many such doctors the emperor raised, after all, the internal treasury is the emperor's private treasury, and only the emperor himself knows how much it costs.

However, according to the drunken gaffes of the palace people, it is said that the emperor has raised at least tens of thousands of Xiyi doctors to study surgery, and this number is still increasing every year.

It took eight years to gradually perfect this blood transfusion technique.

Fortunately, it is a slave who is extremely guilty of crimes, and if it is used by the people of the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that the emperor will be sprayed to death by spitting stars.

"Your Majesty, the blood transfusion technique is useless."

Yao Kui spoke: "The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government do not bleed, and the common people can't afford to cure it, but it is useful in the army, but where does the blood come from?" ”

"In other words, it's a useless piece of technology."

"Your Majesty, the old minister advises you not to invest money in research, this move is too vicious, how can anyone exchange blood since ancient times? When the old minister listened, goosebumps rose. ”

Zhu Qiyu is used to the opposition of the courtiers.

"We'll talk about it later."

Zhu Qiyu couldn't explain it to them clearly, and when the surgery developed, they would know how cost-effective the money they were investing now was.

Yao Kui was speechless, knowing that the emperor couldn't listen.

"Zhuqing, I'm thinking, is it a good thing or a bad thing to increase the number of people?"

Many of the central policies are increasing the population of the people.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the population increase will do more harm than good."

Peng Shi said bluntly: "The main reason is that the Ming Dynasty's ability to resist disasters is too weak, once there is a three-year drought, or a multi-year famine, the huge population will instantly destroy the dynasty." ”

"Lao Chen still thinks that it is better to maintain the population at a constant."

"According to the survey of the Ministry of Household Affairs in recent years, the life expectancy of the elderly has been extended by about three years, which is due to the good life."

"The average life expectancy of the Ming people is between 40 and 45 years old, and now it is between 43 and 48 years old."

"It's a terrible phenomenon."

"It means that in the past three years, tens of millions of people have been eating idle food."

Peng Shi smiled bitterly: "If the population is maintained at 300 million, the life of Daming is quite rich, but in recent years, the number of newborns has doubled, and with the promulgation of the central policy of benefiting the population, the population has increased several times." ”

"Lao Chen estimates that in the thirty years of the Ming Dynasty, the population of Jingtai will reach a terrifying 800 million!"

"And in this, mainly infants and young children, there may be 400 million infants and young children, 200 million old people, only relying on the labor of 200 million young and middle-aged people, the ability to resist pressure is even weaker, once there is a natural disaster and man-made disasters, it is easy to cannibalism."

Peng Shi's words provoked the courtiers to be solemn.

Geng Jiuchou said: "What Elder Peng Ge said is right, but he still missed a point. ”

"Part of Daming's food supply is purchased from India, and once foreign trade is cut off, Daming will immediately return to the original state."

"The amount of meat eaten by the people has increased, and animal husbandry is the most food-intensive industry."

"For wealthy families, coarse grains are used to feed livestock, and poor families can also rely on the combination of coarse and fine to fill their stomachs."

"In the past few years, the sky has been beautiful, and there has been a bumper harvest every year."

"But it's getting colder and colder in the north, and there is a grain failure, because the arable land in the north is huge, and it's not very visible, so it doesn't show up."

"Once the disaster comes, the ecology of the Ming Dynasty will collapse immediately, as quickly as a blood collapse."

"So the old minister thinks that the population cannot be increased anymore."

"Not only can it not be increased, but it must continue to move outward."

Geng Jiuchou's words provoked all the courtiers to nod in agreement.

"It's hard to immigrate now."

Li Xiandao: "In the past few years, it was easy, but that was because we slaughtered a lot of places and vacated a large number of fields and real estate, which can be used directly without development." ”

"Now immigrants, we have to reclaim new land."

"Who wants to reclaim new land? Even if you are given enough farm tools, it will take at least ten years, right? Even twenty or thirty years of Chinese New Year's Eve, a generation is gone! ”

"Those who are willing to leave have been removed, and the rest are those who are unwilling to go, lazy people who are waiting to die."

"But we have a good life, those lazy and idle people can't marry Han girls, but they can also marry Yi girls."

"When a girl marries, not only does she not dare to urge her husband to move up, but she also has to work hard and complain, otherwise she will be serving with a stick."

Li Xian sneered: "Last year, the center began to forcibly immigrate, and many people resisted to the death, how many people were killed? What about after moving over? They don't cultivate at all, but try to run to rich places. ”

"In order to prosper the economy, the Ming Dynasty allowed the people to move."

"But this flow has encouraged these people with ulterior motives to flee back from Xindi and return to their hometowns to continue to eat and wait for death, such moths can be found everywhere."

"It's getting harder and harder to immigrate now, unless it's forced by the center."

Shang Shi immediately vetoed: "It must not be forced, the world is finally peaceful, the people live a peaceful life, and then force immigration, which makes the heavens angry and resentful, but it can't be done." ”

"Yes, it's no longer possible to force it, and now it's not even possible to conscript immigrants."

Li Xian smiled bitterly: "Over the years, the center has taken away the second son of the people's family, is it still forcing the people to contribute the third and fourth children?" Doesn't this force people to rebel? ”

"Look, it's getting harder and harder for immigrants to open up new places."

"We must not allow the private population to grow anymore."

Peng Shi said: "Isn't the King of Chu going to be a vassal? The scarce population, just right, grabbed the lazy people and the people who fled back, and sent them all to Africa. ”

Li Xian nodded, feeling that this matter was feasible.

Zhu Qiyu listened carefully and said slowly: "Is there such a line of thought?" The center set up a reclamation company, hired people to reclaim a piece of raw land, and then recruited immigrants to come and eat ready-made. ”

"Your Majesty, how much are you going to invest?"

Li Xian asked: "If we invest too much, let's divide the land to the people for nothing, that's a loss, it's okay to lose some money in the past few years, in order to quickly occupy the new land." ”

"Now the new land is all rotten land in the corners and corners, and the reclamation is completely at a loss, and it can't be sent, the point is that the people are rich and unwilling to go to the new land."

That's true.

For example, the four provinces of Mongolia, Yuerhai, Turkic, and Tatar are so cold that they can vomit blood, and in winter, minus 40 degrees Celsius is a warm day, and minus 50 degrees Celsius is normal.

What's the use of reclamation?

Good places have been reclaimed, such as Heilongjiang and Jilin, both of which are rich black soil, and millions of acres of fertile land have been reclaimed, and there must be no shortage of people.

Build a road, garrison troops, and send officials to Sinicize savages, and that's it.

Immigrants used to be too burdensome.

"So, for the time being, you can't immigrate?" Zhu Qiyu's tone was low, it was not a good thing that the people were too rich.

It is best to let the people barely eat enough, and they are not enough to eat.

When they are well fed and their lives are too good, they will make trouble.

Ten years ago, the people were forcibly resettled and divided, and the people complained little, because they were too poor, and the center promised to have some good policies, so they were willing to go to the new land, work hard, and reclaim the new land piece by piece.

Now that the family has enough to eat, why should I go? Why should I be allowed to reclaim the wasteland? Why?

"Let's find a way to promote immigration." Zhu Qiyu was also helpless.

It's really true.

And with the birth and advancement of industrialization, there will be a siphon effect, urbanization, and the population of the border provinces will become smaller and smaller.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu hopes that the people will have more children and enough children, and the local people will definitely not have enough to eat, so they can only immigrate to the border provinces.

However, the planting economy depends on the sky for food, and there are many disaster years, and as long as there is a famine, the people who now seem to be rich will be beaten back to their original shape.

That's all it takes.

The courtiers returned to the government office.

Zhu Qiyu received a military report, saying that Fan Guang's Western Expeditionary Army was seriously homesick, and he didn't want to fight in the Western Regions anymore and wanted to go home, and the army was extremely homesick.

It was sent directly by the Military Officers Department, with crooked names on it, and it was the autographs of many officers.

Zhu Qiyu must pay attention to this matter.

He brought Xie Qian and Wang Hua to Xuan.

At the same time, I was also thinking, is this Fan Guang losing his military heart? So the low-level officers overstepped the ranks?

Zhu Qiyu was worried that he would completely lose contact with the bottom, so he opened a special line for the military officials department, which was a direct channel for the emperor to contact the low-level officers.

The emperor strictly ordered that the military officials were not allowed to conceal the report, and any concealment of the report would be punished.

Over the years, there have not been many reports, but each time it is a big event.

"Your Majesty, this is a big deal."

Xie Qian said very seriously: "The war-weariness of the Western Expeditionary Army spreads, and they are afraid of a foreign land, and they are overstepping their ranks to report it, if they don't pay attention to this matter, Weichen is worried that the Western Expeditionary Army will rebel on the spot." ”

Wang Hua said: "It may be that Yiguo Gong was defeated, and when he saw his comrades buried in a foreign land, there was a strong resistance in the army. ”

In fact, the Ming soldiers are very profitable.

Not to mention the knighthood of military merits, the official position is inherited by the father and the son, the guard system is basically abolished, and the officers and soldiers are recruited.

Eating military salaries and subsidies, as well as food and clothing, are all burdens on the army.

The seized money on the battlefield is all owned by individuals, and the center does not want it, they only need to go to the post station and send the money back.

The emperor gave preferential treatment to the soldiers, constantly improved the social status of the soldiers, erected monuments to the soldiers who died in the war, placed the disabled soldiers, and not only got the retirement pension after retirement, but also arranged to work at the grassroots level.

There are as many as 17 million soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, but only 2 million have been on the battlefield, and most of them have immigrated by conscription.

Therefore, being a Ming soldier is glorious and wealthy, and a military salary can marry a daughter-in-law a year, counting all kinds of subsidies, it is no problem to marry two a year.

"If it's not important, the military officer will not give it to me." Zhu Qiyu said.

The military has a military discipline department, a military officer department and a military tribunal, of which the military discipline department is subordinate to the Military Aircraft Department, and the military officer department and the military tribunal are subordinate to the military department.

"Do you say, 'You should send the army back?' Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that if this batch is returned, the border army generals will cry to the center, and then seek an opportunity to return to their hometown."

Xie Qian pondered and said: "But if the edict comes back, Weichen is worried that the Western Expeditionary Army will rebel on the spot, and the Ming Dynasty's westward expansion strategy may be affected." ”

"It's better to change the name to reward the Western Expeditionary Army for its military exploits and allow it to go home for the New Year."

Zhu Qiyu thinks it's okay, but the army is transported back and forth, and the cost is huge, which is a net loss.

You can't do it if you don't transfer it back.

The emperor has packaged himself and given preferential treatment to the soldiers over the years, and now the soldiers are collectively sparse and ask to return to their hometowns, if the emperor does not agree, won't the personality collapse?

The key is that there are many Mongols, Jurchens and Saurons in this western expeditionary army, and once the emperor ignores them, they will soon collapse.

Not only can you ignore it, but you must also reply as quickly as possible.

"If the precedent of going home for the New Year is set, what about the generals stationed on other frontiers? Do you have to rotate every year? ”

Wang Hua felt that this name was not good.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "With this name, a policy will be promulgated next year, and the military generals on the border will be on duty once every three years, and the military generals will be allowed to take half a month of family visit leave in the middle, and the center will give a family visit subsidy." ”

"Your Majesty, how much does this cost?" Xie Qian's face changed directly.

This kind of frontier refers to the Mongolian capital, Yuerhai, Turkic, and Tatar places, which are normally rotated for ten years, and changed to three years, which is a huge cost.

"It's not just about spending money, what if you escape along the way?" Wang Huadao.

Deserters are plentiful in any era.

"Let's think of a way, in a few years there will be a population in northern Xinjiang, and it will be good to establish a health center." Zhu Qiyu had a headache.

There are 70,000 people in Fan Guang's army, and if they all come back, sending another 70,000 people over will cost more than fighting a big battle.

Sun Yuanzhen also heard about the collective sparseness, and quickly came to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Your Majesty, this precedent can't be set, who doesn't have a little difficulty on the border? If you are homesick, you will be sparse collectively, so what kind of soldier is you? ”

"If you are in trouble, you will shout that you are tired, what kind of soldier should you be?"

"Your Majesty, you have set a precedent this time, and there will be soldiers in the border provinces who will collectively go up and ask to go home."

"The center sent these people, don't say how much it cost, they are gone, what if the Hu people in Xinjiang rebelled?"

"Bitter? Why not be bitter? What is there to think about at home, if they really miss home, they will send their families to the Western Regions, just as immigrants. ”

Sun Yuanzhen was angry.

If he didn't go to the military department, Shangshu would send it to the military department first, and he would veto it directly, and endure it if he was homesick, and he would have to fight if he was paid as a soldier, and he would break the law if he was homesick.

"Sun Qing, don't be angry."

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "It's really hard to fight on the side, this time I saw my comrades buried in a foreign country, and my psychology was shocked, and it was normal to want to come back." ”

"They dared to cross Fan Guang and cry directly to me, indicating that they couldn't be more bitter."

"The center should understand, too."

"It's true that it costs a lot to transfer back 70,000 people and another 70,000 people, but this money is worth it."

"Over the years, I have given preferential treatment to all classes in society, the lives of the people have visibly improved, the status of military generals has improved, and there is no need to hide and hide the good food and clothing of hundreds of officials."

"I'm in the business of reputation."

"I can have no credibility in the world, but for the Ming people, I have a clear conscience, and I have always done what I say, which is the credibility that I have accumulated for twenty-three years."

"They want to come back, I would rather slow down the pace of development in the Western Regions, and if it is two years slower, I will bring them back."

"In the future, the rotation system will also be changed, and the military generals will be given half a month of annual leave during the rotation every three years."

Zhu Qiyu just finished speaking.

Sun Yuanzhen knelt on the ground: "Absolutely not, Your Majesty, it is a hard time to go to the border province to defend, once they are allowed to come back, they will definitely flee on the way." ”

"The peaceful social environment of Daming will be greatly affected."

"Besides, it is the best policy to pay three times as much as the local government on a ten-year rotation, and to give them wives and children in the local area."

"What annual leave? The princes don't have annual leave, what do they put on? ”

Sun Yuanzhen said resolutely: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is now rich in money and can be squandered at will, but what about ten or twenty years later?" ”

"The policy is easy to relax, but it is difficult to tighten again."

"Let's just say how much of the agricultural tax has been collected by Daming over the years?"

"Even after twenty years from Jingtai, Daming has no longer gone to collect taxes from the people!"

"Why? I can't collect it, so I'm just free of it! ”

"But!"

"Now that there is business to support, what if one day, business collapses? And the people don't pay taxes, so what do they take to support the center? What to feed the army? ”

Sun Yuanzhen wept: "Your Majesty loves the people, and the world knows it." ”

"But the people can't love like this!"

"They only have their own interests in their eyes, how can they have half of the interests of their family and country?"

"Now if Your Majesty sends people to collect taxes again, there will definitely be rebellions everywhere, and smoke will rise everywhere, you are not loving the people, but indulging in the people!"

Zhu Qiyu frowned, what he said was right, the people really have no conscience.

The center used to be tax-exempt, and after it expired, it was all tax evasion, and the ten-year benefits given by the center should be forgotten.

In the past few years, not a single cent of agricultural taxes have been collected.

That is, Zhu Qiyu, who maintained the center by collecting commercial taxes, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would have perished.

Xie Qian also knelt on the ground: "Sun Shangshu's words are extremely true, it is easy to relax the policy, but it will be difficult to tighten it again." ”

"The people are greedy, and they want to live better and better every day."

"Is this possible?"

"No, the days are ups and downs, how can there be good things that go smoothly every day?"

"Your Majesty wants to make the people rich and hide the wealth from the people, but can this so-called wealth be used in wartime?"

"Let's talk about immigration, and now when people talk about immigration, they talk about tiger color change."

"But they don't want to think that the center can not collect their agricultural taxes because the new land can support their lives!"

"They don't care how difficult the center is, they just know how to ask the center!"

"These are the people!"

"No one wants to dedicate themselves to their home and country, they only think about their own interests, regardless of the difficulties of the center."

Xie Qian wept and said: "Your Majesty, you have done too much for the people, Dou Mien will be promoted to hatred, if you have more, you will not be loved by the people, but will be spurned by the people of the world!" ”

Zhu Qiyu was stunned.

Isn't it the professional skill of your civil servants to advise the king of the county to be kind to the people?

Why did you become more violent and brutal now, what happened?

Wang Hua also knelt on the ground: "Please Your Majesty don't think about the people in everything, think about the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"I look like a holy king, am I?" Zhu Qiyu felt that he was brutal enough, reclaimed Baiyue and Northeast China, overhauled the road, and died 20 million slaves.

The happy families of the people were split and split again by the emperor, and the immigrants from all over the world were dismantled, and the families were tossed by the emperor.

In the end, the emperor has become a saint of the ages?

"Yes!" The three of them said in unison: "You are the Holy Monarch." ”

"Then I'll take it seriously."

Zhu Qiyu said: "The Western Expeditionary Army will be transferred back, and the rotation period will be discussed again, and it will be wasted." ”

"The holy decree is sent out quickly, tell the Western Expeditionary Army, return to Zhambyl, wait to go home, go home for the New Year!"

However, when this decree went out, it was rejected by the cabinet.

Li Xian was angry and did not allow the Western Expeditionary Army to return to Beijing, not only could he not be transferred back, but he also severely reprimanded and killed all the people who were sparse.

Zhu Qiyu said something bad and coaxed Li Xian away.

Tune it back.

The holy decree was sent out overnight and quickly delivered to Wang Yue, who was already preparing to return to Beijing to report on his work, and then went to Baiyue to take charge of the army.

The holy decree made him wait and led the army back to Beijing.

Wang Yue's first thought was that something had happened in Beijing.

In the end, I learned that it was the Western Expeditionary Army under Fan Guang who collectively went up and cried to the emperor to go home, and immediately cried and laughed.

The Western Expeditionary Army was limited by its transportation capacity, and only 70,000 people left Zhambyl, and the military expenses for transporting it here were more expensive than transporting them to Borneo.

70,000 people moved back and forth, and the losses were more than 1 million.

The emperor is really willing.

Wang Yue's first thought was to kill all the troublemakers.

Brought back by him, it is destined that these people will not be reused.

Fan Guang was stunned when he received the holy decree, he was on the shore of the Aral Sea, although he knew that the generals were homesick, but he didn't expect them to dare to carry themselves behind his back and go up collectively.

Although the decree did not rebuke him, it must have been the biggest stain on his career.

The east coast of the Aral Sea has become the base of the Ming army, and the cost of the grain transported here from Jiangbul is more expensive than that of the Beijing division to Jiangbul.

The holy decree strictly ordered him to abandon everything he had and return to Zhambyl immediately, and Wang Yue led the troops back to Beijing.

Fan Guang jumped like thunder.

But there were fierce cheers in the army, but they didn't expect that the emperor really cared about them, really let them go home for the New Year, and finally didn't have to worry about dying in a foreign land.

In Fan Guang's army, there are not only Ming people, but also many Mongolians, Jurchens, and Saurons, who betray the Ming Dynasty and will not hesitate a little.

But because of the emperor's holy decree, tears fell like rain, and they kowtowed excitedly in the direction of Jingshi.

"It seems that Ben Jiang has really lost people's hearts." Fan Guang looked at the Aral Sea and sighed in his heart, give him two more years, the Aral Sea to Jiangbul will be the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

His Majesty wanted the Caspian Sea, and he offered it to His Majesty.

However, I got the Sacred Heart, but I lost the military heart.

The next day, the Ming army withdrew from the Aral Sea and returned to Zhambyl.

The Timurid Khanate and the Golden Horde were stunned, what kind of moth is the Ming army doing?

Over the past year, they have fought with the Ming army, and they have won and lost each other, but it is undeniable that the Ming army's firearms are too strong.

They originally wanted to wait for the Ming army to be fatigued and attack the Ming army.

Who knew that the Ming army sang all the way, the momentum was like a rainbow, and occasionally there were unsightly sneak attacks, but they were all beaten back by the Ming army.

Everyone else looks stupid, is Daming sick? In order to hit the Aral Sea, how much money and how many lives will be smashed into it, if you say don't want it, you don't want it.

Along the way, only the tombstones of the Ming army remained, and the fortresses built by the Ming army were all abandoned, and they were strategically retracted, occupying key areas, and beware of other forces counterattacking the Western Regions.

It took seven months to call from Zhambyl, and it took only seven days to go back.

Wang Yue is already waiting here.

After a day's rest in Jiangbu, Wang Yue personally led his troops back to Gansu, and from Gansu to Beijing, the soldiers were beaming with joy along the way, and when they were about to arrive at the Beijing division, some generals began to be afraid.

They knew how much money this expedition had spent, and they gave it all up, and how big the loss was, and they were worried that they would be secretly executed if they returned to Beijing.

Wang Yue kept an eye on the morale of the army at all times, worried about the mutiny of the Western Expeditionary Army, and kept comforting them on the way.

There are many local painting boats on the road, singing on the boat to show the Western Expeditionary Army, which is a troupe hired by the emperor for money, so that the Western Expeditionary Army will not be too lonely on the way back to Beijing.

The boat stopped at Fangshan.

When the Western Expeditionary Army came ashore, there was a holy decree that they would be rewarded for three days in Fangshan, and then enter Beijing, and the emperor personally ordered the heroes of the Western Expedition.

Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the holy decree, fortunately the center was on guard, otherwise the frightened Western Expeditionary Army was very likely to mutiny in Gyeonggi, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Before the banquet, there was a decree of reward, which barely suppressed the army's heart.

In the past three days, Wang Yue stayed with the generals throughout the whole process, and also asked the officer who led the sparse to be his personal guard, responsible for his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and reassuring their people's hearts.

On the fourth day of the first month of October, the Western Expeditionary Army entered Beijing from Deshengmen, and the emperor personally appeared to commend the generals, and separately met with the generals who jointly signed Shangshu, comforted them, and it was completely over.

That night, Wang Yue entered the palace: "Your Majesty, you can scare Weichen to death!" ”

"I don't have a problem, if I stand by and watch, the 70,000 expeditionary force will rebel on the spot, can I still send an expeditionary force in the future?"

Zhu Qiyu helped him up: "Although the cost is large, there are also troubles, at least the hearts of the soldiers are still on my side." ”

Speaking of which, this matter is of great political significance, and the emperor can only pinch his nose and admit that he is at a loss.

Wang Yue was anxious: "Your Majesty, what Weichen is worried about is that they will enter Beijing!" ”

"This is 70,000 soldiers, with a good hand of ten!"

"In case someone rebels and rebels in Beijing, what will happen to Jingshi? What do you do? ”

"Along the way, Weichen didn't dare to sleep, and he had nightmares every day."

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "It's because I didn't think it through, I should have paid the travel fee after arriving in Gansu at that time, and disbanded on the spot." ”

"The main thing is that these 70,000 soldiers are cavalry, and there are all ethnic groups, and I am worried that if I return rashly, it will harm the place."

"But I also want to subdue the hearts of the military, and I want a deeper political effect, so that the military and the people of the world can see that I have them in my heart."

Zhu Qiyu has always believed that the army is his basic plate.

Wang Yue felt that the emperor was doing too much.

The people of Daming live so comfortably, who is still dissatisfied?

Go and see what kind of life the people of the Western Regions are living! Not even Daming's dog.

"Speaking of which, Fan Guang ignored the military spirit."

Wang Yue felt that Fan Guang was inappropriate, obviously he was on an expedition, and the generals were homesick, why did he still fight west?

If you want to fight, you have to appease the generals.

"No wonder Fan Guang, it's Fan Guang who wants to take the Caspian Sea and dedicate it to me, doesn't I always want the West Sea? He wanted to take the Caspian Sea and give me good news during the New Year. ”

Zhu Qiyu said: "That's it, it's okay to give up some this time, the Western Regions will be back in blood in two years, and you can go on the expedition again." ”

"Don't do it, Daming should eat it up little by little, complete the construction of the Western Regions, and then go west, don't do it again, Weichen can't stand this stimulation." Wang Yue didn't have a good airway.

Zhu Qiyu smiled.

The 70,000 expeditionary forces did not mutiny, but the cabinet and Wang Yue worked together to appease the army, reward them constantly, and send opera troupes to sing and appease them.

After the emperor's edict, the political effect was extremely obvious, and the hearts of 70,000 soldiers were in the Ming Dynasty.

They were temporarily stationed in the Beijing camp, and after receiving the rewards, they returned to the provinces and capitals, and they really went home.

"What do you think of the Western Regions?" Zhu Qiyu asked about business.

"Back to Your Majesty, Wechen feels that the Western Regions are too desolate, and it is desolate to the west and north, and Wechen feels that there is no need to open up."

Wang Yue told the truth, and he also wanted to persuade the emperor not to go west.

The expeditionary force is the best example, if you are far from home, you don't want to fight.

"I know what I know."

Zhu Qiyu did not listen to persuasion: "At the beginning of the year, the slaves were released and merged with the locals, do you think these people will rebel?" ”

"No!"

Wang Yue said: "Your Majesty, the Uyghurs are hospitable, have no offensive power, they are an enslaved ethnic group, they have never been the king and hegemon, they are all poor people." ”

"And last year's special circumstances, the survivors were all children, they were all fostered in Ming families, and this year they all spoke basic Chinese."

"Actually, it's not difficult to speak Chinese, as long as you don't give them food, they will naturally learn it."

"Your Majesty has accepted another Uyghur beauty this year, which can be regarded as a person who recognizes this place and reassures their hearts."

"Da Ming actually controls here, there is no difficulty."

Wang Yue's confidence mainly comes from the fact that this place is too poor, and it used to be rich because of the Silk Road, but now the Silk Road is cut off, and the tea and horse trade and the maritime Silk Road are the main themes.

Zhu Qiyu did accept a little beauty, only eleven years old, too young, raised in the palace.

"But Your Majesty, if you want to control it completely, you have to take Duo Si down first, and the land of Duo Si is poor, and it is estimated that you will lose money every year."

Wang Yue had the same attitude as the central ministers, and they didn't really want this territory.

On the contrary, the land of Baiyue is extremely rich, and actual control is the most cost-effective.

"Let's take it in a few years, send troops up first, and force them to speak Chinese." Zhu Qiyu didn't want this mess either.

"I originally planned to let these generals stay in the Western Regions, but they are still homesick."

"Western Regions affairs, the center will find a way again."

After talking about the affairs of the Western Regions, Zhu Qiyu set his eyes on Siam: "Wang Yue, I am afraid that you will have to stay in the land of Baiyue for ten years, and I will protect you as a prince." ”

Wang Yue was slightly stunned, if he only occupied the land of Sanmi, three years would be enough.

"Your Majesty wants to conquer India?" Wang Yue felt that it was not possible, it was too far away, and there were too many people to put it.

Zhu Qiyu talked about the occupation of Bangladesh, the partition of Sri Lanka, and the plan of the Zhonghua River.

Wang Yue's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, you are going to dig the roots of India!" ”

"Nonsense, I'm just making the Western Regions rich."

"Look at this troop transfer, the cost is huge, if there is a mainstream river, the territory is pushed to the Caspian Sea, play the same."

Zhu Qiyu said: "So, you went to Siam, and the task was the heaviest." ”

"Ou Xin and Li Zhen are all at your disposal, and I will send you another three people, Tao Lu, Xu Ning, and Wang Xin, which are enough for you to use."

"At sea, Liang Xuan and Wang Wei can help you."

Wang Yue knelt on the ground: "Weichen promises to satisfy His Majesty." ”

I chatted with Wang Yue for a long time.

When it came to private matters, Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "Wang Yue, you can give birth to a good daughter." ”

"Huh?" Wang Yue's heart jumped, he also heard that the queen seemed to want her daughter to be the crown princess, and the fourth prince also had intentions.

"I'm not an outsider to you, so I'll be honest with you."

"The queen values your daughter, she is the princess of the eldest princess, and Concubine Tan also values your daughter, and she wants to be the second concubine."

"Guess who your daughter has a crush on?"

Wang Yue sweated wildly, why was his daughter so restless, teasing the three princes at the same time?

"I've taken a fancy to the fourth!"

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "Don't ask for guilt first, listen to me." ”

"The queen is wishful thinking, the prince has a crush on Yang Chun's daughter, and the concubine is also wishful thinking, and the second child has a crush on Geng Yu's daughter."

Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, the daughter married the fourth prince.

"But guess what?"

"The queen and the concubine want to have it all, the eldest and the second child rob the daughter-in-law, and let your daughter be the concubine."

"Concubine Hu ran to the palace and cried to me, saying that the fourth child would not marry your daughter."

"Your daughter is even more ruthless, and she won't marry if she is not the fourth child."

"Your Wang Yue's daughter is really capable, the three princes and the three princesses revolve around her, turn around, I have a lot of fun, and the result is annoying me, what do you say I should do?"

Wang Yue knows too much about the emperor's virtues, and it is never a big deal to watch fun.

The three princes, he is also very familiar with, they have all studied with him, and they are his apprentices.

This is the wealth of the sky.

Wang Yueyi gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground: "Weichen has three daughters!" ”

Zhu Qiyu was stunned, are you ruthless, three daughters, as the concubines of the three kings? You really don't think of yourself as an outsider.

"How old is your little daughter?" Let whom wait? ”

"Besides, it's your eldest daughter that people are looking at, don't say it's useless, you give me ideas."

Wang Yue is really greedy, the princess wants it, the princess also wants to be it, and the benefits of pouring heaven have come to your house?

"This is a royal secret, and Weichen doesn't dare to say anything."

"Come less, you'll be in-laws with me soon, why don't you dare to say it? Go ahead! "Zhu Qiyu also has a big head.

The crown princess, of course! O future queen!

"Your Majesty, who is that Yang Chun?" Wang Yue didn't know this person either.

"A jinshi."

Zhu Qiyu said, showing Wang Yue the poem written by Yang.

"This is written by Yang Chun?" Wang Yue thinks that this Yang Chun is so embarrassed, this poem is written by a woman, strange.

"Yang Chun's daughter wrote it, take a look at this Yang Chun's daughter's information."

After Wang Yue read it, he was shocked, in recent years, Daming has become a genius, this Yang family, I am afraid that he will be the Ming Li Qingzhao.

He Wang Yue is extremely poetic, and his daughter is also literary, but he is not so rebellious.

It seems that her daughter can't compete with the Yang family.

Don't forget, the Ming Dynasty has rules after the change, and the current Empress Dowager Sun abolished Empress Hu and renamed her as the queen because she fascinated Emperor Xuanzong.

Forget about the second prince, among the emperor's four sons of the same age, the most capable is the fourth.

If the prince can't be chosen, he will choose the fourth.

The key daughter and the fourth child also look at each other, why not complete the daughter?

"Weichen thinks that it is the best choice to marry the four princes." Wang Yue said.

Sure enough, it was Wang Yue, after weighing the pros and cons, he chose the fourth child, which seemed to support the freedom of marriage, mainly because the Yang family couldn't move.

The Yang family was indeed against the sky, so when he met the prince, he stunned the prince.

The best thing is that this woman is still holding it, and the queen has tried her several times, but she doesn't spit out, making it clear that she doesn't like the prince.

Such a noble woman really drove the prince crazy, and even the emperor looked sideways, what a strange woman.

Yesterday, I begged his mother to come and beg the emperor, begging the emperor to think of it, and the emperor told them that I didn't have a rut.

"You have decided this family matter." Zhu Qiyu said.

Wang Yue immediately found out that it was a pit: "Weichen is your courtier, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, how dare Weichen resist?" ”

"Don't be fooled, it's obvious that you mentioned it to me, and you fell in love with the fourth." Zhu Qiyu didn't answer his words.

Wang Yue shuddered suddenly, he immediately thought that Empress Tang and Concubine Tan would clean him up!

Don't mess with women! Especially a woman who is a mother!

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't!" Wang Yue was anxious.

"Feng Xiao, did you hear that?"

"It was Wang Yue who said it himself, he fell in love with the fourth child and wanted to marry his eldest daughter to the fourth child."

Zhu Qiyu said innocently: "I am courting my three sons together, and the choice is in the hands of the woman's father. ”

Wang Yue was so angry that he wanted to stand up: "Your Majesty, how can you play tricks on Weichen?" Obviously, you set up a trap for Weichen! ”

"You have to talk about evidence, when did I cheat? When is it set up? ”

"The palace people who serve so much in the Heart Cultivation Hall can all testify for me."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "Feng Xiao, go to Yanxi Palace to report the good news!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Wang Yue howled and cried, I wronged me to death.

"Wang Qing, are you crying with joy? I'm happy for you, too! Zhu Qiyu had a very loud voice and couldn't hold back his laughter.

"You've killed me!" Wang Yue cried even more fiercely.

The news went to the harem and blew up directly.

The queen and concubine Tan came to the Heart Palace with great momentum, and asked Wang Yue for an explanation, where is my son? Why is it allowed to be rationed to the fourth?

Concubine Hu happily came to thank her.

The sooner Wang ran away, he swore that he would not return to Beijing for ten years, and if he didn't return, the emperor was too doggy.

Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood: "The marriage of the fourth child is settled, aren't you happy at all?" ”

Empress Tang, Concubine Hu, and Concubine Tan sat in a row.

"The concubine is happy for the fourth." Empress Tang gritted her teeth and said.

In fact, the most collapsed is Concubine Tan, what she chose for the second child is Wang Yue's family background, and the brothers in the family can help more, and going out to the domain will have the greatest help.

Who knows if it's cheap!

"Although the concubine is happy for the fourth child, the concubine wants to know, where is Song'er?" Concubine Tan asked through gritted teeth.

"It's not just Concubine Ai who you wonder, but I can't figure it out either."

"I also questioned Wang Yue, concubine, how do you guess Wang Yue answered?"

Zhu Qiyu said with a presence: "He said that the second child is not a good man, and he is unwilling to marry his daughter to the second child who has no interest." ”

"I was very angry at the time, what's wrong with the second child? Isn't it as bad as four brothers together? ”

"Just because the fourth brother is so prominent, he compares the three elder brothers? He's just excellent? Where did the truth come from? ”

The face of the third girl changed directly, and the emperor put Wang Yue and the four princes in it, and scolded them together.

But the most angry is Wang Yue, why does he scold the prince like this!

"Aifei, what do you think Wang Yue answered?"

Zhu Qiyu came over and grabbed Tan Yunxian's hand: "He said, four fools, you must choose a relatively smart one." ”

"My four sons were scolded by him as stupid, and I have the heart to kill him."

"Love the concubine, it's hard for me!"

The third daughter's face was extremely dark, where is my son stupid?

Concubine Hu, who was originally very happy, wanted to die after listening to it, not that her son was excellent, but that she was slightly better than her three stupid brothers.

It is equivalent to the penultimate and the penultimate one, fifty steps and a hundred steps.

I feel like I've eaten a mouthful of.

"This palace has to dispose of Wang Yue's family!" Empress Tang is angry, the prince is a half-monarch, can you laugh at it?

If it is rumored in the world that the prince is stupid, how can the prince be the prince? Doesn't the prince want to lose face?

"Why don't you marry the Wang family, just change your family!" Talk about the concubine arch fire.

Concubine Hu's impression of the Wang family is extremely poor.

Zhu Qiyu found out that something bad had happened: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I have already disposed of Wang Yue and sent him to Baiyue." ”

"His daughter is still fine, I saw it, and I liked it very much."

"His father is not a thing, let's not associate with him, the daughter-in-law married into our family, the surname is Zhu, and you can't show the daughter-in-law's face."

"Isn't it, Aifei?"

Zhu Qiyu gently patted Concubine Hu's shoulder.

"Your Majesty said yes." Concubine Hu was absent-minded.

"I love the concubine and has a good heart, I know it."

This palace is kind-hearted, but this Wang family has entered the door, and this palace has to be disciplined and disciplined well.

Concubine Hu thought hatefully.

"Okay, Wang Yue is not a thing, I have dealt with it, don't be angry, you concubines, you are angry, I still feel sorry for you."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Let Qintian supervise the election date, set it in two years, the four princes will get married together and operate together, which will be more lively." ”

The third girl rolled her eyes, she didn't know you yet, mainly because she was troublesome and felt that she was losing money.

Bet if you don't believe it, you're going to have to get a gift.

"You said that our son should get married, shouldn't we receive a gift?"

Zhu Qiyu touched his beard: "If you want to receive a gift, it's best to untie the knot...... Hey, what are you doing? After listening to me, why don't you have any rules! ”

"If I were ten years younger, I would definitely beat you up, my husband will speak, you will turn around and leave, what kind of tutor! How did I teach you? ”

"It depends on your sons now that they are older, save some face for you and let you go."

"Feng Xiao, are you right about what I said?"

Feng Xiao covered his face and sighed, Your Majesty, should we make a face?
