Chapter 44: The White Cloud Dog

Since Yan Yan came out of the palace, Zhu Qizhen seemed to have finally woken up.

He drove all the Taoist leaders out of the palace, the Taoist temple was demolished, and the various twists and turns that had been accumulated for a long time were also approved.

He ordered the demolition of temples in various places and ordered all localities to stop collecting auspicious and ancient books.

In the matter of the six branches, I originally thought that the emperor's will would be refuted, and I was afraid that my career was coming to an end, and I was ready to be dismissed, but I didn't expect that the orthodox emperor not only didn't care about it in the end, but praised them for their loyalty.

Xu Hui's official fortune really dissipated, and after Zhu Qizhen figured it out, he sent him to prison on the spot for the crime of bullying the king, and asked him to go inside to watch his astrological signs.

The ministers were very relieved, at least the emperor finally broke it back.

Don't talk about anything else, just that guy, you don't need to study hard in the cold window, you can be in a high position, and it makes people look unpleasant!

The only thing that hasn't changed is Yan Ling's ancestral hall, but it has also begun to open to the people, and incense continues every day. Especially I don't know where it came from, after the Huailai wind was related to King Jingping, there were more people coming and going in this ancestral hall.

There is a colorful portrait in the ancestral hall, and there is a domineering implicit in the handsomeness, but some people can't hold back a smile after seeing it.

This statue doesn't look like me at all! On the contrary, it is more in line with the folk stereotype of Confucian generals, with red lips and white teeth, a helmet on his head, a Confucian robe on his body, a book in his left hand, and a sword in his right hand.

But it's good that I can save people recognition one day.

Chen Guogong has gained a lot of fame because he turned the emperor around, so when the court mentioned him for a while, it was a voice of praise, and even many courtiers who had never stood in line praised him.

The operation of the court was also on the right track again, and Zhu Qizhen began to govern the government wholeheartedly.

……

When the mainland was surging, on the overseas islands, the Yan family was developing silently.

Luzon has been completely controlled.

The governor of Luzon became de facto the "emperor" of the region, and the old Luzon situation of wealthy merchants forming alliances led by the richest to rule the region was a gone forever.

Now everyone has to obey Chan's orders, do things under his rule, and pay taxes for him.

Because they have both the official title of the orthodox governor of the Great Ming Dynasty and a strong army, of course, the latter is the main reason.

The governor of Luzon had 1,500 well-armed troops, known as the "security forces," stationed at key points in Luzon; There were also 800 soldiers, known as the "Blood Army".

These 800 soldiers were the bandits who had been sent to Luzon at the beginning, and they were incorporated into the local sequence, and at that time, there were often natives and wealthy merchants who rebelled against their rule.

And...... Deal with some things that are not visible and the security army is not easy to come forward.

Over time, this army gained the local title of "Blood Army", and although they were not as well equipped as the security army, they were more ferocious in battle, and became a sharp blade of the governor of Luzon in the dark.

But the governor of Luzon was not a man of his word. Taking advantage of Chen Su's transfer of power to the mainland, Yan Ling set up a corresponding system for Luzon through the Yue Guo Mansion to ensure that there would be no situation where Chen Su almost relied on family resources to stand on his own.

Just as the sea ban was relaxed, the family's ties with Luzon became closer, and ships basically came and went every month, instead of directly losing contact as in the previous days when the sea ban was strict, which also provided conditions for various transformations of the Luzon Governor's Palace.

The first is the right to collect troops, and the generals of the security army and the blood army have been greatly replaced, and all of them have been replaced by family members, and they are rotated regularly.

In addition, the family is in the mainland, and they can still have some control.

Although this will definitely affect the combat effectiveness, it is better than losing control.

At the same time, he also set a five-year term for the appointment of each governor of Luzon, after which he must be reappointed by the mainland.

The governor's family is small, and he is also not allowed to take it away, and even the governor does not have the power to transfer troops, only the administrative power.

Military salaries must be paid by envoys from the mainland, and they must be settled every three months.

Such a system really stabilized the political situation in Luzon.

And I have to say that occupying Luzon is the most correct decision of the Yan family.

It is located at a transportation node between the mainland and the South Seas, and many coastal families have to pass through here to do business, or simply buy here.

Just collecting taxes, Luzon Island was full of oil, the treasury was full of gold and silver, and some of the grain in the granary was about to mold, so it could only be sold to the local natives at a low price.

Earn too much.

Some of the specialties there were brought to the mainland, and they were also profitable, and they also earned a lot of money for the mainland owner's family.

Win-win.

On the master's side, it's not much worse.

In these years, just talking about the books sold in the bookstore has made the lord's family eat a lot of money. Now their bookstores and teahouses are not limited to the southeast, they have begun to develop to the whole country.

To the south, until Luzon, to the north, to Liaodong, to the west, to the desert, you can see the "Biography of the Ming Heroes" everywhere, and see the storyteller in the teahouse.

Along with the huge profits came great fame.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang have all heard of the name of the Yan family, and other provinces also know more or less that there is a Yan family in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty.

By monopolizing the local business of grain, coal, and medicinal herbs, the family basically took complete control of Ningbo Province.

It's just that the people who control the family now are all fresh faces.

After so many years, the family has basically changed, not to mention Yan Ling, I'm afraid that Yan Ya, who is still barely alive now, will probably not be able to find anyone he knows.

Jiangshan, a generation of new people for the old.

The courtiers ruled the country, and the family developed.

The years of orthodoxy passed quietly under such circumstances.

In the cabinet, Cao Nai died, and Yu Qian and Peng Shi entered the cabinet as substitutes to assist the government.

King Jing Zhu Qiyu died of illness in the twenty-five years of orthodoxy, this time, he and his brother have always been brothers, friends and brothers, without the trouble of the imperial throne, he finally lived a few more years, and his son did not die young, and his throne continued.

also died first, he died in the battle with the Arazhiin, Aro reunited the Warat, and the main thing was to take off the flowers, but at this time, the strength of the Warat was already extremely weak.

The Ming army also went out from time to time to "fight the autumn wind".

When he asked the Ming Dynasty to be a minister, but was resolutely rejected by the orthodox emperor, now the Ming Dynasty has taken Wara as the object of military training, all the troops after training, have to go to the north for a walk, and Warat fight, see blood, naturally can not agree.

Helpless, he could only lead his tribe aggrievedly, cruising in the grassland, and migrating north.

Soon after, Ara, too, died.

There was a rebellion in the Bondage, and several powerful Bondage Prefectures in the north declared their independence from the Ming Dynasty and reorganized the Tatar Ministry, and Shi Heng died in a counterinsurgency on the way, and was posthumously named Nanzhibo.

In more than ten years, the world has changed.

In a moment, the white clouds and dogs, people are so small in front of time.

Only the family, the bloodline, is eternal.
