In the Imperial City of Xuanfu, in the Cunxin Hall, there are a lot of black gauze python robes, all of which are nobles who have just come from Beijing. These nobles from Beijing in the Ming Dynasty have not lived a good life since Zhu You inspected Datong.

.... Those who lost their jobs and went home to eat old rice were lucky. Those who were unlucky were regarded as loyal and martyrs, and were placed on the memorial tablets for people to worship with big incense sticks!

And which of these families occupy land outside Beijing? Those lands have not paid a penny in taxes for a hundred or two hundred years! Even when Zhang Juzheng was in power, he did not dare to touch their interests. But this time it was...

They were forced to pay taxes... No one dared to resist!

Anyone who resists will be sent to Liaodong to become a loyal martyr!

But today, the faces of these honorable relatives who gathered at the Xuan Mansion were filled with joy. When they spoke, each of them spoke louder than the other. They were all chatting and laughing with each other loudly when the emperor was not here.

They were all invited to the Xuan Mansion by Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei... And when Luo Yangxing invited people, he had already told them the reason - otherwise they would be afraid!

It turns out that Zhu Youjian invited the big guys to go to the Xuanfu, and he had to share the benefits with the big guys! The little emperor asked everyone to take their servants and their families, and then each of them gathered a group of more capable ones to go to the south to serve as generals and deputy generals...

...And it can last a long time!

These nobles have all suffered heavy losses due to Zhu Youjian in the past two years, and they all know that the south is richer than the north. Even Beijing, the most prosperous place, cannot compare with Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou in the south...

...For the same land, if an acre of land here in Beijing can harvest three bushels of wheat a year, the rent is sky-high. In the south of the Yangtze River, the best paddy fields can harvest one and a half kilos of rice a year for rent. This is just a few bucks.

Double the benefits!

Moreover, the industry and commerce in Jiangnan are developed, and there are many opportunities to collect tolls on roads - catching a thief, killing a bandit, arresting a smuggler... you can make money for any reason!

If you really want to serve as a general or deputy general in the south for ten or eight years, how can you make hundreds of thousands of taels? This is much better than guarding the Beijing camp in Beijing and eating the quota - how many people can eat in a Beijing camp?

ah!

Besides, now that the capital camp has been wiped out by the "settlement account", they can't eat even if they want to. Now they can only go to the south to find food.

With such a big fruit in front of them, how could these nobles, who were already a little thin from hunger, keep their voices from getting louder and louder?

Zhu Chunchen, Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen, the leaders of Beijing's nobles, stood aside, neither looking happy nor joining the discussion.

Zhu Chunchen already had a foreign errand, and he was asked to stay as an official at the Rehe Palace and also serve as a garrison in Xingzhou - he came from the construction site of the Rehe Palace, and the general soldiers in the south did not have his share.

The two princes, Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen, are both filial sons - their fathers both died in the third year of Chongzhen, so they both just ascended the throne and are observing filial piety in Ding You, and they have to observe filial piety for three years.

....You won’t be able to become a general soldier until the sixth year of Chongzhen!

I don’t know if there will be any commander-in-chief available by then?

It makes me sad just thinking about it!

When the two filial sons thought of this, they all secretly shed tears. It was obvious that they were thinking of their father - if their father was still here, they would be able to go to Jiangnan and become the general soldiers to make a fortune!

"Long live the Lord is here!"

With a shout, the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian, came out swaggeringly, accompanied by two loyal ministers and generals, Luo Sigong and Luo Yangxing.

The two men were laughing from ear to ear! I originally thought that after the bus letter incident, it would be good for them to retire and go home, maybe they would have to buy indulgences. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youjian would arrange for them to go to the south to fish.

Oil and water - Jiangnan General Soldier and the others did not dare to ask for it. There was too much oil and water, and Jiangbei certainly did not dare to ask for it. The territory was too big... As soon as the two fathers and sons combined, they proposed to split Jiangbei into Huaidong and Huaixi.

town.

Taking Yangzhou, Huai'an and Xuzhou as Huaidong Town, the General Military Office settled in Xuzhou, which had just been flooded by floods - these two men are very smart! It seems that the territory is small, and they also stationed in Kuhaha.

Xuzhou. But it’s a lot more affordable, and it’s not easy to make people jealous.

First of all, Yang and Huai Prefectures are important towns in the salt industry. You can make a fortune just by catching private salt!

Secondly, Yang, Huai, and Xu are still along the canal. Can the towns along the canal be wealthy?

Third, although Xuzhou is poor and has just been flooded (for several years!), it still has a large area of ​​"flooded land" that can be developed. The city of Xuzhou also needs to be rebuilt, as well as rivers and embankments.

It needs to be repaired...you can figure out how much oil and water there is with your heels!

Of course Zhu Youjian is also satisfied with the choice of Luo and his son - he originally only wanted to split Nanzhili into two parts, but now it seems that he can split it into more details, demolishing Huaidong, Huaixi, Jiangnan and Jiangdong, a total of four towns.

, plus a naval town of Caojiang in charge of the Yangtze River, a Nanjing Jingying camp, and a canal army, there are 7 towns, and seven general troops can be arranged...

In addition, the territory of Huguang is so large, how can one commander-in-chief manage it? It can also be split into two commander-in-chiefs, Hunan and Hubei, and a deputy general of the Jinghu Navy can be arranged.

The four provinces of Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong can each add a naval deputy general, and can also set up a naval admiral's office in Quanzhou and Dengzhou...

Adding all the various generals together, they are the second admiral, the fourteenth general (plus Jiangxi), and the fifth deputy general! Although these more than 20 good errands cannot all be given to Beijing nobles, they are all "resources" in Zhu Youjian's hands.

All can be used in exchange for benefits.

A group of nobles had already kowtowed to Zhu Youjian too much. Emperor Zhu saw them all standing in different classes, each one looking so mighty and majestic, and nodded with satisfaction - they all looked just like the real thing! In his last life, he thought you were all

You can fight, but the result is trash!

But it doesn’t matter, waste can also be used!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian spoke: "Did Luo Yangxing tell you? This time I plan to take out Huaidong, Huaixi, Jiangnan, Jiangdong, Caojiang, Canal Army, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, a total of 10

A general soldier, plus a deputy general Jinghu, a total of 11 are sent to you. Luo Yangxing has already taken Huaidong, and there are 10 left... Each of you can fight for it, including the British Duke and

Duke Ding! Ding You is important, but killing thieves for the country can win love!

Now the Ming Dynasty is in troubled times, there are thieves everywhere, the only difference is that there are more thieves and less!"

Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen became excited as soon as they heard it!

They are filial sons, but they still have to be officials! Now in order to destroy thieves and seize love, the spirits of their two deceased fathers in heaven will definitely be happy.

"Long live my lord," Zhang Zhiji asked immediately, "How can we win over this general?"

Xu Yunzhen asked worriedly: "Is it going to be a competition to win the handsome man?"

"No competition, no competition," Zhu Youjian said with a smile, "Let's hold a tender to win the commander... Whoever offers me the best conditions can be the commander-in-chief and the deputy general!"

Why does it sound like selling an official position?

A group of distinguished people were shocked.

Zhu Youjian saw their expressions and hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to sell my official position... I have two requirements. One is to contract a thousand-household office in Yanshan and Daning!

We need to bring people to live with the director... Now there is a shortage of food in the north, and there are too many people eating in the big cities in North Zhili. It's better to take away as much as you can!

If you want to be the commander-in-chief, you must take away at least 3,000 young men, and at least 10,000 young men's family members...and the more, the better! You go back and total it up, and then report it to me.

The top 10 are selected and appointed as commander-in-chief and deputy general, with terms of 10 years each."

In other words, by removing 4,000 households from around Beijing (1,000 of them going to Yanshan and Daning), we can exchange them for 10 years of employment as generals and deputy generals.

The cost of relocating 4,000 households is much less than the 10-year general soldiership, and the deputy general's salary and water are much less. Moreover, when he goes to the south to serve as the general soldier, the deputy general can bring his own family and soldiers! The general soldier has always been there.

The main town recruits its own 3,000 young men and can be put on errands, so there is no need to pay for them.

Only the 1,000 households immigrating to Yan and Ning are more troublesome, but it is not a problem for these people who have been nobles for a hundred or two hundred years - the nobles control a large amount of land and population, so this trouble is really nothing.

And through the appointment of these 10 generals and deputy generals, the population around Beijing will be reduced by 40,000 households... At least 200,000 people will leave after opening their mouths, and a considerable number of these 200,000 people are members of the Jinyi Guards or

The eliminated strong men from Jingying and Xuan, Chang, Ji, Bao and other towns.
