Zhu Wenfang sat quietly on the dragon chair, speechless in her heart. lost more than 10 million taels, and the emperor and ministers were all smiling, even happier than the New Year.

Jingtai Dynasty and these monarchs and ministers, it may be that they have experienced too many things, and their cognition of money has become numb.

After laughing, with a pleasant atmosphere, Zhu Qiyu began to have a routine with the ministers.

This chatter lasted for half an hour, Zhu Wenfang really couldn't listen to it anymore, and reached out and secretly dragged his father.

Zhu Qiyu cleared his throat: "Let's continue to talk about business, where is the business?" ”

Xu Youzhen replied: "Dongsheng won the first battle and captured eighty or ninety thousand people. In the great battle with Hara, about 40,000 people surrendered and more than 20,000 were taken prisoner.

How to deal with these prisoners of war and pawns, please also ask the Holy Majesty to show you. ”

"Well, organize the captives and let them build a straight road connecting Ganzhou and Hami. The captives, along with their families, were sent to build roads.

Of course, give them food, drink, and get paid, and don't abuse them.

Your Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War will come up with a budget together.

From Ganzhou to Hami, you have to cross oases, Gobi, and many uninhabited areas.

We are to build a straight road that can accommodate the rapid delivery of large armies and grain and grass baggage, and set up post stations, towns, and villages along the way.

Like the Han and Tang Dynasties, our Ming Dynasty also has to run the Western Regions. ”

The rest of the ministers wanted to say that trade with the Western countries had shifted to the sea, and the importance of the original Silk Road had greatly decreased.

But the emperor is now extremely prestigious, and no minister wants to be the first bird, so it is not happy to take the initiative to find it.

The most important thing is that in the past ten years, the emperor's strategic plans have been realized.

It gives people an unfathomable sense of sacredness.

In addition, when we hit Japan, we encountered a great drought, and when we fought Mongolia, we encountered heavy rain, and God was helping, which is really destiny.

Zhu Qiyu is still very sober in his heart, luck is such a thing, when there is a good time, there will be a bad time.

There was a repeat of two, not a repeat of three and a four.

You can't always count on luck.

Zhu Qiyu added: "For the treatment of prisoners, you can let them do some dirty work, but for the demotion of troops and generals, reorganize them into official guards and put them in the northwest."

In the future, attack the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and let them take the lead. For meritorious service, I will be greatly rewarded, and I will not be stingy. ”

As a result, a small half of Mongolia's strong men moved to the northwest.

The rest of the people were incorporated into the Ming household register, and then assigned to several princes as subordinates.

I have already given birth to two sons this year, and three or four more will be enough to divide Mongolia's territory.

O beautiful and fertile prairie, give it all the crown prince.

The prince was reborn as the king of the county, and the king of the county was reborn as the general of the town, and there were four or five generations, and they took root.

Shen Yi continued to ask: "Holy Lord, is it possible to recount the population and land next year and update the Yellow Book?" ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, especially for land, I don't have the luxury of restoring more than eight million hectares of tax land in the Hongwu Dynasty."

After this count, as long as the original two capitals and 13 provinces have 6 million hectares of tax land, I will be able to accept it.

We have conquered Japan, Korea, Annam, Myanmar and other places, and harvested so much fertile land, and I don't want to compete with the original two capitals and thirteen provinces.

But it has to be generally passable.

There is also a population, and it is not allowed to hide or conceal it.

Those who are willing to migrate overseas to open up wasteland will be given preferential treatment. ”

Xu Youzhen asked a keen question: "Holy Lord, Meng Yuan was destroyed, how will our army be settled?" ”

Zhu Qiyu sighed, there will be no big battles in the future, and there are too many standing troops left in the center of the two capitals, and it costs money to raise them.

So Zhu Qiyu reiterated again: "Beijing, stationed in the Xiaocai Battalion, Shenji Battalion, Shenshu Battalion, as well as Yingzhou Guard, Tiance Guard.

The total size of the army should be maintained at about 150,000 men.

Daning, Guangning, Kaiping line, by Duoyanwei and other elite garrison.

In the northwest, there are elite border troops in Shaanxi and Gansu towns.

The second is to rebuild the Nanjing Beijing camp, and transfer some of the meritorious soldiers of this war, such as Baoding Wei and Shandong Beiwei soldiers, into the Nanjing Beijing camp, about 50,000 people.

In this way, the southern and northern capitals can maintain 200,000 forbidden troops. ”

The monarch and the ministers chatted for a long time before they dispersed.

The ministers were all gone, and Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Wenfang left Ganquan Palace and walked around the garden while chatting.

Zhu Qiyu was the first to speak: "I've been under a lot of pressure this year, and now that the battle is over, I want to relax and relax."

There are still two months before the Chinese New Year, you are in charge of the government, I will not go out, I will live happily in the Lingyu Palace.

Zhu Wenfang was a little uncertain: "Erchen is only ten years old, how can he control the situation in the court?" ”

"What are you afraid of, your uncle has already ascended the throne as an emperor at your age. At that time, Sanyang was in power, but he couldn't completely overthrow him.

Now that I have you covered, what are you afraid of?

At the end of the year, He Yi and Liu Chang will all come back. Let you, the masters, assist you, if you can't do it, you can also hang the arch and rule it. ”

Zhu Wenfang asked again: "When does Daddy plan to let the second brother and the third brother become feudal?" ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Northwest, it's very important." I have to let our family, the king of Han and the king of Wei, become vassals as soon as possible.

I took the lead in mobilizing and mobilizing, and began to build a palace and guard them, and when they reached the age of twelve, they would go away. ”

King Han and King Wei, as the second and third oldest, also theoretically have the right to inherit the throne.

Staying in the capital for a long time, even if the two brothers don't think about it, there will always be Wenchen generals who want to speculate.

arranged for them to go to the domain, one is to get rid of the crooked thoughts of the young people, and the other is to get rid of the thoughts of other princes behind.

Even if there is anything unexpected with him and Zhu Wenfang, he will be succeeded by the King of Han who is far away in Xi'an. The king of Han was unexpected, and it was the king of Wei who succeeded to the throne of Dongsheng.

If the ministers dared to support the prince of Beijing as the emperor, the kings of Han and Wei could raise troops on the side of the Qing monarch.

With this kind of deterrence, civil and military officials will not dare to mess around easily.

Although after the Battle of Jingjing, the Qing monarch's side is no longer a good word, but mutual checks and balances are useful.

The vassal king is an important guarantee for the imperial power, and he must not be wasted because of choking.

Qin Shi Huang went to the extreme on this issue, and a vassal king was not sealed, and as a result, Li Si and Zhao Gao could slaughter Qin Shi Huang's children without any scruples.

There is no need to fear the backlash and retaliation of the Qin Dynasty clan at all.

The Han Dynasty is also the same problem, it is obviously the most legitimate orthodox dynasty, why can Wang Mang easily replace the Han Dynasty?

It's not because the vassal king's military power is gone.

As a positive example, why did the group of heroes represented by Zhou Bo and Chen Ping dare not depose the Liu clan after destroying the Lu clan, and let the power be taken back by Emperor Wen of Han.

Because as long as the meritorious group dares to take the action of deposing the Liu clan, the kings of Qi, Wu, Chu and other clans will teach them to be new people.

This is the value of the existence of the prince's domain.

So Zhu Qiyu made up his mind to relax the restrictions on the sect, anyway, the Ming Dynasty has been established for a hundred years.

As long as it lasts for another two hundred years, it will be considered a victory.

As for what to do in the last years of the dynasty, feel free.

There is no eternal dynasty in this world, and if it can last for 300 years, it will be considered to be the end of life.

Even if the clan is completely restricted, what can it be, if the dynasty does not die in the clan, it will also die in the relatives.

If you don't die from your relatives, you will also die from eunuchs; If you don't die in eunuchs, you will also die in civil officials, such as the Donglin Party.

Anyway, it's always going to die, so if you have to choose one, it's better to die in the clan.

In case there is a Liu Xiu in the sect, won't he be able to recreate the Ming Dynasty for another two hundred years.
