Chapter 332 Uszang
Forbidden City, Imperial Study Room.
Huaien trotted all the way, and before he even had time to take a breath, he hurriedly said, "Emperor, Shangshu Yu requested to see him!"
Zhu Qizhen showed joy on his face, immediately put down the file in his hand and asked, "Is Yu Qian back?"
"When I go back to the emperor, I just learned the news. Shangshu Yu was exhausted and had no time to change his official uniform. He just said that there was an urgent matter and asked to meet the emperor immediately!"
"Prince!"
Yu Qian left Beijing with an important mission.
In the new policy, there is a very important restructuring, which is to abolish household registration.
From then on, the people no longer had restrictions on household registration, farmers could work, craftsmen could do business, and military households were no longer forced to join the army for generations.
With the full liberalization of household registration, the military farming system was also abolished.
The army no longer needs to support itself, but instead has been recruited.
When you become a soldier, you will concentrate on joining the army. The only thing you need to do on weekdays is training. Farming is no longer a matter of no need to worry about the army.
However, the military farms in the past cannot be wasted. They are all considered as assets of the army. They can be rented to the people or built workshops. Under the new policy, the situation of land annexation has quickly collapsed, and the landlords are thinking about how to sell the land, otherwise, taxes alone can crush them.
In this way, the land used as a military farm seems very valuable.
Because the military's land does not require taxation, all income is used as the military's daily expenses, which can not only save treasury expenses, but also maximize the use of the land.
However, although this idea is good, there are still many problems if it really needs to be implemented.
How many hidden households are hidden in the land of the military farm? In the development of the land, many interests will be involved. Whether the relevant officials can achieve fairness and justice... all such issues must be considered.
In Zhu Qizhen's original idea, he could just conduct a national inspection.
If you have any specific questions, you will know only after you go.
Otherwise, wait for local officials to report step by step, and then send it back to the place after approval, and the daylily will be cold.
As a result, once this idea was proposed, it was immediately opposed by the entire cabinet.
The reason is very simple. You are the emperor, so you just sit in the Forbidden City honestly. Can't you?
In order to dispel the emperor's idea of going on a patrol, the three cabinet ministers discussed a plan overnight, which was because Qian used the emperor to inspect.
He is the Minister of War and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and this identity is enough.
This trip took more than half a year. Zhu Qizhen felt deeply sad and asked Huaien to prepare tea. Then, he saw Yu Qian stepping in.
"My minister Yu Qian, come to the emperor!"
"Your family is exempt from gifts!"
Zhu Qizhen stood up and went to help him in person.
For some reason, he always felt a little ashamed of humility.
Although some things in the previous life did not happen, this feeling is very wonderful and will appear from time to time...
Seeing this, Yu Qian hurriedly got up by himself, but he didn't dare to let the emperor help him.
In fact, he also had a strange idea in his mind.
that is……
The emperor seemed to be too enthusiastic about himself. On weekdays, as long as he proposed any ideas, the emperor would support him.
Sometimes I don’t even ask the reason, but I’ll support it anyway.
Moreover, no matter what you do, the emperor will trust you unconditionally.
This feeling is very wonderful, and he can't explain why. The so-called scholar dies for his confidant. The emperor trusts himself so much that he can only do his best to do his best to do his best.
"Your Majesty, I have something very important to return to Beijing this time."
As Yu Qian spoke, he took out a memorial, which he wrote on his way back to Beijing.
After Zhu Qizhen took it, he did not open it, but threw it on the imperial desk.
He looked at Yu Qian's ragged robe. It seemed that he hadn't washed for many days, and his face and neck were covered with dirt. He put it on the street. Who knew that this person was a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and Minister of War?
This person is full of loyalty, and the one in his previous life is really not a thing...
Yu Qian was a little puzzled and said, "Emperor..."
"No need to watch it!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand gently and said, "What happened? Just say it."
Yu Qian was stunned for a moment before saying, "I was ordered to inspect the military camps across the country and supervise the reform-related matters. When I arrived at Chengdu Prefecture, I found that there was already tension there. Uszang was gathering a large army with an intention to invade!"
"Uszang..."
Zhu Qizhen thought quickly in his mind that this place has been very dishonest since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Although it was nominally the territory of the Ming Dynasty,...it was only nominally.
They were happy to accept it by getting some food and cloth, gold and silver.
Of course, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to give it away for free, and they usually go there with appointments.
The situation here is very complicated. During the Song Dynasty, this place was called Tubo. Every day, I was thinking about how to fight with the Song Gan to grab something back.
Later, the Mongols came.
As the saying goes, soft people are afraid of hard people, and hard people are afraid of life.
Tubo could be more arrogant in front of the Southern Song Dynasty, and faced the Mongolian cavalry, and became cowardly.
The leader at that time was named Ban Mida, who personally surrendered to Mongolia. From then on, he changed his name to Wusizang and divided it into thirteen thousand households. Together with the Marshal Nalisugursun's Mansion, he was under the jurisdiction of the Marshal Nalisugursun's Mansion of Wusizang.
Under normal circumstances, the Marshal Xuanwei envoy was also appointed by the local religious leader. He was the supreme chief executive of Uszang and was directly appointed by the court.
The remaining officials were appointed by the envoy Xuanwei, and submitted to the court for approval.
Simply put, although Uszang surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, he was relatively still a semi-autonomous state.
The Mongolian court will not interfere too much in this regard. As long as you don’t cause trouble, I don’t care.
By the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that he had taken over the Yuan Dynasty, and naturally, he also took over a banished place like Uszang.
Therefore, the Wusizang Guard was established in the early Ming Dynasty, and later the Wei was promoted to the Commander Command Office, with several Commander Command Offices under which the Ministry of Transport, Ten Thousand Houses, Thousand Houses, and Hundred Houses.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty had just been established, and its biggest enemy was the Northern Yuan forces in the desert. His attitude towards Uszang was similar to that of the Yuan Ting at the time, so it was enough to not cause trouble.
As for Uszang, he basically has no concern about the fact that he has changed his boss.
Whether it is the Yuan Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, as long as you give me money and food, I will listen to you. If you don’t give it... Then hehe!
Therefore, in the century of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between the imperial court and Uszang has always been in harmony with each other, and both sides have their own desires. They will not express their opinions easily until there is no major conflict of interest.
However, this balance was finally broken.
Zhu Qizhen summoned the vassal kings to enter the country and re-divided the fiefdoms. All the enfeoffed were outside the border of the Ming Dynasty, or nominally belonging to the Ming Dynasty, but in fact there was no real control.
For example, King Ning's fief is Uszang.
