The book is the same text, the car is the same track? Zhu Wenfang felt a little familiar when she heard this.

Zhu Wenfang asked, "Master, our Jingtai lineage won't die like Qin, right?" ”

He Yi replied: "No, the most dangerous time has passed. Shengshang's conquest of Japan and Annam was like Qin Shi Huang's march into Lingnan and his attack on Baiyue.

The Mongols took advantage of the fact that our army was scattered in Japan, Annam, Burma and other places to launch a decisive battle.

This is our most dangerous time, and if we lose the battle, then it will be really troublesome.

Fortunately, God bless the saint, this test has passed safely.

As long as a few years later, the princes will be vassal one after another, and Jingtai's line will be impeccable.

The establishment of a pro-vassal is too important, and with the prestige of Taizu's founding of the country, it is also necessary to rely on the princes to establish a vassal state and unify the army outside, so that the country can be completely secured.

If there is no strong pro-vassal, then if there is an accident between the emperor and the crown prince, it will be all over. The story of Qin Shi Huang and Hu Hai is the most tragic lesson. ”

Zhu Wenfang nodded, after Zhu Qiyu and He Yi's repeated brainwashing, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also very much agrees with the concept of the indispensability of the pro-domain.

"Then I will order the Ministry of Works to build a palace for my younger brothers as soon as possible, and if the palace is there, and the guards are there, it can be a vassal at any time."

He Yi said with a smile: "Before I returned to Beijing from Dongsheng, I went to Kaiping first. King Ping's palace, the area is really big.

It costs a lot of money to rebuild and renovate the Pingwang Mansion. ”

Zhu Wenfang asked, "How big is the Pingwang Mansion?" ”

"It is one mile wide from east to west, and more than a mile long from north to south."

Zhu Wenfang was taken aback: "It's so big, isn't it worth most of the Forbidden City!" ”

"What's more, it's just the palace area, and there are several gardens and barracks next to it, which are also used by the palace.

The Pingwang Mansion used the Yuan Shangdu Palace, just like the Yuan Dadu Palace used by the Yan Wangfu back then. ”

Zhu Wenfang sighed again and again, it really costs a lot of money to renovate such a big palace.

……

On 15 May, Li Bing, the governor of Shanxi Province in Taiyuan, received a new appointment.

Although he was promoted, Li Bing was even more worried, and asked his staff with a gloomy face: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Liu, what should you do about this?" ”

Master Zhou was also very embarrassed and replied: "The will of the Holy Lord is to clear out all the land occupied by local tyrants and gentry.

During the Hongwu period, there were more than 8.4 million hectares of fields and ponds in the world to collect grain and grass, and now there are only more than 4.28 million hectares left.

Half less, where did all these fields go?

In this land inventory, the Shengshang's requirements for other provinces are not particularly strict, but only for Shanxi, the local tyrants and gentry are required to spit out all the land they have occupied, and not a single mu is missing.

How much land was requisitioned in Shanxi in the year of Hongwu to collect grain and grass, and the Jingtai Dynasty also had to have the same amount of land.

If there is one acre missing, start killing from the top down until you have enough.

This soldier is not easy to be. ”

Li Bing sighed heavily, it was not easy to be the governor of Shanxi, but now he is a soldier in the army.

This squire is too scary. His former predecessor, Yu Qian, served as the governor of Shanxi for 19 years, most of which he served as the governor of the military department.

During this period, the Shanxi guard collapsed, and most of the soldiers fled because they could not bear the exploitation and oppression of the generals and gentry.

Those who didn't flee wanted to grit their teeth and make do with it. As a result, Shanxi produced another Xuanfu Festival envoy Yang Hong, causing the emperor to hate all the troops in Shanxi.

Li Bing could clearly perceive that the emperor wanted to launch a purge and kill Shanxi up and down, and several times, they were on the verge of breaking out.

But I don't know why, the emperor just held back, although he also killed a large number of people, but in the end there was still some restraint.

After the appointment of the squire of the military department this time, Li Bing believed that the emperor was probably ready for a great purge.

Moreover, the Mongols have been destroyed, the emperor's prestige has reached its peak, and the elite of the pro-army has returned to defend Gyeonggi one after another, which is a good time to kill.

Li Bing understood that the knife was already on his neck, and once something went wrong, he would definitely start with the governor of Shanxi.

Kill him and roll his head, kill him and cry wolf.

Li Bing sighed: "It would be good if Mr. Wang was still here, if you want to grasp the political situation, it has to be Mr. Wang." ”

Zhou and Liu glanced at each other, and their own masters were not wrong, the previous master Wang Shanwang was really hand-eyed, able to talk to the great eunuch, and could understand the latest trends in the Qi Palace.

In order to divert the troubled water, Master Liu hurriedly replied: "Ming Gong, to check the fields, we must start with the most difficult Datong.

We don't have enough subordinate officials from the governor's yamen, so why don't we send a group of officials from the following states and counties?

Mr. Wang is the magistrate of Yonghe County, and his political achievements are quite outstanding, so it is very suitable to transfer him. ”

Li Bing nodded again and again, and said in his heart: This proposal is very good, take Mr. Wang with you, if he refuses to contribute, I will pull him on his back.

At this time, Li Bing didn't know that it was this decision that saved his life, but this is a later story.

Li Bing had to chat with the staff a few more words, and a disciple came to report, and a large group of gentry came outside asking to see him.

These gentry have people in the court, and they are extremely well-informed. After learning that the imperial court was going to carry out a very strict inventory of the land in Shanxi, they couldn't sit still and gathered together to petition the governor of the yamen.

Because Li Bing has been resisting mergers and suppressing the gentry in Shanxi for several years, he is not well received by the local gentry in Shanxi.

The two sides didn't deal with each other very directly, and this time the gentry were able to put down their heads and come to the door en masse, which shows that they were also frightened by the news of the court.

Li Bing hadn't made up his mind to kill, so he had to go out and deal with the snake first.

After another half a month, Li Bing summoned a group of capable officials from Xiazhou County and set off for Datong.

There is no way to keep this kind of thing secret.

As soon as Li Bing walked halfway through, the officials and gentry in Datong City got the news.

Several of the most powerful families in Datong got together, and after secret discussions, they gave a solution, that is, there are many bandits and thieves on the ground in Shanxi. Especially in the poor countryside near Yanmen Pass, there are all kinds of bandits and robbers wandering around.

If the governor was attacked by bandits and unfortunately died, then the gentry of Shanxi could only express their grief.

On the tenth day of June, it was the height of summer and the weather was hot.

In the Lingyu Palace, Zhu Qiyu chatted with his concubine while watching the reports sent from all over the country.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "When Agabarji attacked and launched a decisive battle, the toast masters in Guizhou and Yunnan also happened to be making trouble.

Now why did they take the initiative to petition for sin?

Now that I've got my hands free, if they insist any longer, I'll take them all.

Another wave of land change and return to the stream can be regarded as another small achievement for me. ”
