"Brother, if you follow me, you will have something for your land, and something for your wife!"

"Master Chitose..."

The elderly veteran who spoke was already crying with gratitude. In the tent set up in the inner school field, nine soldiers from the same team were kneeling on the ground, watching Zhu Cixi return the white money one after another.

It is said that the order can be exchanged for fifty acres of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River. He handed it to their captain, a veteran from the Yongwei camp.

This veteran looks to be in his fifties, but is actually just over forty. He has worked in the Yongwei Camp and the Fourth Guard Camp, the predecessor of the Yongwei Camp, for half his life. He has not saved dozens of acres of land, nor has he married a wife.

, now one pawn of a family is not worth even ten taels of silver.

It can be said that I have nothing! And I haven’t eaten meat since I left the Yongwei camp.

But today, not only did he get the "land option", but he was also named the "Hero in Overcoming Difficulties", he also got ten taels of silver, and he also ate meat, and he ate it with Zhu Cixang!

The majestic Crown Prince Zhu Cihong had lunch today with the captains and veterans of each team. They ate the same food. They didn't mind that everyone was dirty or smelly, so they sat on the ground in the open space of the inner school field and talked while eating.

For veterans from humble backgrounds, this kind of thing is simply unimaginable!

Not to mention a prince, he is a boss, he is also a dignified master. Can he eat, drink and talk with the soldiers?

And Prince Zhu not only did not dislike these smelly soldiers, but he also unexpectedly understood the sufferings of the people and knew what everyone wanted and thought. In the words of later generations, he was down-to-earth! He did not look like a high-ranking prince at all, he was simply from the top.

Taizu who came from among the people.

And whatever everyone wants, Prince Zhu will guarantee to give it to everyone!

In a word, the land will be there, and the wife will be there... When we get to Jiangnan, everyone will be the hero in overcoming difficulties. They can all get land and marry wives! They are all the best friends of this prince!

How about compared to Li Zicheng? Is it worth following?

Zhu Cixiang smiled again and said to the kneeling soldiers in the tent: "You are all the pillars of my Ming Dynasty. As long as you follow me well and escort Nan Xing, when you arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, everyone will be given fifty acres of paddy field! Today, I will first give you the land grant decree.

, plus a reward of ten taels of silver!

Work hard, the land will bring it, and the wife will get it!"

After saying these words, he ordered Bi Jiucheng, the clerk who was following him, to stay and ask the soldiers' names and places of origin and fill them in on the order. Then he turned around and left the tent under the eyes of everyone who were either surprised or grateful.

Outside the tent, Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu, Zhu Chunjie, Li Jizhou, Huang Sanbao, Qiu Zhizhong, and three civil servants in their 30s and 40s all looked at Zhu Cihong with their mouths agape - the prince is really capable of this!

It’s really a no-brainer!

Really getting along with a bunch of smelly big-headed soldiers!

Is this still the prince?

This is almost catching up with Taizu and Chengzu...

Zhu Cixiang waved to them and said with a smile: "Go to the next...two hundred tents. We have to walk through them all today."

"Your Highness, why are you doing this?"

A black-faced civil servant in his forties, wearing a scarlet python robe, a black veil on his head, and a beard shook his head and said: "You are rich in gold, how can you associate with a common man?"

"Where did Mr. Chen come from?" Zhu Cixiang said as he walked, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world! And my family's world is based on these ordinary people, isn't it?"

This "Mr. Chen" is named Chen Rui. He is worshiped by Prince Xima. He is the lecturer of the East Palace and is Zhu Cihong's teacher.

Upon hearing Zhu Cihong's "weird theory", Mr. Chen Da was stunned for a moment, and then exchanged glances with the other two lecturers invited by Zhu Chunjie.

The three lecturers all didn’t recognize Zhu Cixiang!

Zhu Cixiang was a good student! He respected his teacher very much and studied very hard. He very much aspired to be a wise emperor like Emperor Chongzhen.

Moreover, Zhu Cixi also had special rules and was very timid. He did not dare to violate the rules in the palace at all.

But today... what's going on? Everything has changed. Not only did he pretend to be sick and skip school, but he also got involved in military power! This is a big taboo for a prince! He also talked nonsense about Taizu's dream.

Is the theory that he is a ghost and god reliable?

In addition, as a prince, you should respect yourself. How can you get along with a group of soldiers? What is this? Even if you have to bend the knot, you should be with the scholar-bureaucrats. How can you get along with these vulgar soldiers?

Zhu Cixiang did not look at the faces of the gentlemen, but said plausibly: "The three gentlemen may think that scholar-bureaucrats are the foundation of the world, but in fact they have forgotten where their ancestors' family fortune came from?

Emperor Taizu Gao did value Confucian scholars, but he did not rely on Confucian scholars to conquer the world. Taizu was born in commoners and started in the wilderness. When the Yuan Dynasty lost its deer, he built his empire through hundreds of battles and relied on the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers.

The strong men and common men in this area.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Grandpa Taizu did not forget these men who had followed him. He established seventeen capital divisions, one remaining division, three hundred and twenty-nine internal and external guards, and sixty-five thousand-household divisions in all parts of the world.

There are one million and hundreds of thousands of households! They are all given land, and farming and fighting are integrated, so they can be self-sufficient. These one million and hundreds of thousands of military households are the foundation for our Ming Dynasty to establish a country and govern the world!

The capitals, guards, and military households set up by Emperor Taizu Gao of Ruotian are still in good condition, just as they were during the Hongwu period. What are the rogue bandits? What are the Eastern captives? How can they fight against my million-strong army of the Ming Dynasty? Taizu Gao

When the emperor and Emperor Chengzuwen were in power, would the Jurchens dare to rebel?

Gentlemen, please think carefully... Today's disaster is not because the Ming Dynasty failed to take good care of the scholar-bureaucrats in the world, but because the Ming Dynasty failed to take good care of the millions of military households! During the Hongwu period, one military household had at least fifty

One million and hundreds of thousands of military households should have at least 80 to 90 million acres of land. But how many acres of land are there in the current guardhouses in the world? Most of the guardhouses don’t even have one acre of land or one hectare of farmland, right?

Without land, military households would naturally not be able to afford military service, and the capital and garrison would be in vain. The imperial court would have to spend money to recruit troops to suppress the bandits in the Liao Dynasty. Liao pay, training pay, and suppression pay also came from this. The world was ruined because of this.

!”

How is this possible!?

How could this prince know so clearly at such a young age? There must be some treacherous person trying to seduce the prince, right?

The three gentlemen all cast very unkind looks at Wu Xiang, who looked like a traitor and who knew the most about the military households in the guard station.

Wu Xiang was shocked by what they saw, but he was just as surprised as the three gentlemen. He was innocent and had never told Zhu Cixiang such things that he shouldn't have said.

Moreover, such words are useless and can only offend people.

The land of the Dusi Guards Station has been divided among nobles, hereditary officers, military officials and feudal princes. Who else can ask for it back? Is it possible? Why?

Li Shichun, who looked to be about sixty years old, thin and with protruding cheekbones, frowned and said in standard Cantonese Mandarin: "Your Highness, you are the crown prince of the country. You must be cautious in everything you say and do.

.Does what His Highness is doing now have the will of the Holy Spirit?"

"Yes!" Zhu Cixiang didn't know how to tell the truth. He lowered his voice and said, "This is a secret decree. Do not let outsiders know... The rebellion is coming. The Holy One has made a plan for the future. He will stay in the capital as a last resort.

The palace and Wang Chengen are ordered to supervise this matter. Today we invite three gentlemen to discuss who among the ministers in the court must accompany him. In addition, I have a heavy responsibility and need three assistants. The three of them will start from today.

Get up, just follow me to do the work."

Just have a will...

The three gentlemen all breathed a sigh of relief, and the rocks hanging in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

What Zhu Cihong is doing now, if there is no decree, would be enough to be abolished. But with the decree, it is different... It shows that the emperor fully trusts the prince and is prepared to let the prince have some force, not only to protect Nan Xing, but also to protect Nan Xing when necessary.

Responsible for the rise and fall of tomorrow.

If the prince can ascend the throne in advance, then the three of them will be the cabinet bachelors in a short time!

Young Master Lin Zengzhi, who was only over fifty this year and looked dignified, probably in his forties at most, said: "Since you have a purpose, please continue to hand it over to Yu Shi. Let the three of us discuss it first and come up with it."

How about a list?”
