Daning fought for hegemony in the world and acquired large tracts of new land. However, the imperial court was unable to do so, so it enfeoffed these lands and delegated power to people, using this as an incentive to develop these lands rapidly. This was indeed a shortcut, as far as the current situation is concerned.

, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!

But its disadvantages are equally obvious. In a few years, these nobles with fiefdoms will segregate their own local regimes like vassal kings. They will not be able to lose their power. In the end, instead of being a boost to the development of the country, they will threaten the court...

Does Your Majesty just want to be able to change things with the help of a yamen responsible for the fiefdom?

I’m afraid it’s difficult to do!

Lu Zhengyuan thought that with His Majesty's style, there must be a solution...but he didn't know what it was.

At the moment, it seems that His Majesty's policy of enfeoffment is very novel. It mainly consists of two words... management and planning.

He thought that those nobles would never read the agreement word for word. They would only think that His Majesty gave the fiefdom, which was a great favor from the Emperor. How could they think so much? In fact, there were many text traps in it.

The imperial court will provide some assistance, but also has very high requirements. The main purpose is to make these fiefdoms a boost to national development...

in short.

Your Majesty is the landowner, and these nobles are the tenant farmers.

If you want to do this, you need him as a pastor.

Lu Zhengyuan paused and asked: "Can the General Administration of Fiefdom Management and Planning manage all fiefdoms?"

"That's natural."

Guan Ning smiled and said: "Abbott, your burden is very heavy!"

This smile made Lu Zhengyuan see a strong conspiracy. Your Majesty wants to be a big landowner who only knows how to exploit!

"Can you manage any fiefdom?"

Lu Zhengyuan asked again.

Guan Ning then asked sternly: "Whatever the father-in-law wants to say can be said directly. After all, you and I are still the father-in-law."

I believe you as a ghost!

Although he is a son-in-law, he is also a monarch and his minister.

This monarch and his ministers are still at the forefront.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Zhengyuan spoke again: "The princes are all grown up..."

His meaning is obvious.

The princes are all grown up, what should we do? Now it seems that they all have to be sealed away.

The prince is directly called the king. Can he, the minister, still be in charge?

In his position, he seeks his government.

Lu Zhengyuan has already begun to plan what he, the Si Mu, should do...

"I can handle it."

Guan Ning looked at Lu Zhengyuan and said calmly: "The emperor reminded me, yes, the princes are all grown up..."

For him, family affairs and state affairs.

It is not appropriate for a prince to stay in the capital, and he can only be granted the title of king. Some courtiers have mentioned it in a vague way, but it is only an isolated case. It seems that they are very cautious about this.

In the long run, both kings with different surnames and vassal kings will eventually threaten the court, and the latter will cause even greater disasters!

Emperor Longjing of the previous dynasty rebelled against the vassal king. Such cases are common, but they are rare. Even so, the turmoil it can cause to the country is real!

In fact, except for the prince, the presence of other princes is not high. Guan Ning does not allow the prince to interfere in government affairs at will... The more people involved, the more dependent people will be, and they will fight for power and gain, which will lead to a mess.

Guan Ning thought of Ming Taizu. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he decided on the strategy of sealing off all the princes. How successful he would be depends on his own hard work.

The policy of enfeoffment he is now implementing has this intention.

Guan Ning said: "Even the prince's outer seal will be under your control... As soon as you return to the capital, you will take office immediately and seal off the land first..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although Lu Zhengyuan responded, what he was thinking about was that he didn't know when his daughter would be pregnant.

I became the King of Anping in the Southern Dynasty, so my daughter must have had a hard time... I'll let you guys take a look after I return to Beijing!

I, Lu Zhengyuan, am not a rebel, but a hero!

The sun is shining brightly, the breeze is gentle, the April rain washes the May sky, and the sky is blue.

On the pier outside Shangjing City, Prince Guan Hongzhao led a group of courtiers to greet the emperor!

His Majesty went south to suppress the rebellion and returned. The time he left this time was not very long, only four months. It can only be regarded as an ordinary foreign tour.

Now everyone knows that the so-called rebellion in the Southern Dynasties was deliberately carried out by His Majesty. He went there with his Majesty and was naturally put down without causing any trouble.

Jianghuai Prefecture is the most fertile land in Daning, but the two-year rebellion has not had any impact.

This is all under the control of Lu Zhengyuan and Fang Ji, otherwise the rebels' destruction and crazy looting will definitely cause the people's livelihood to collapse.

Nowadays, the government is well-connected and people are harmonious, there are no profiteers hoarding money, and powerful and right-wing families do not dare to overstep their bounds.

Du Yuanwu has been in power for eighteen years. Who doesn’t know that His Majesty’s temperament is bad?

In the end, his life turned into a joke, and he ended up being beheaded, having his house confiscated, and being exiled. What was he trying to do?

Guan Ning returned home with a full load.

He brought back more than 100,000 troops and 3 million in tax money... The tax owed was finally paid.

Some of these taxes were even confiscated by Lu Zhengyuan. Guan Ning went to those wealthy businessmen to pay them voluntarily, not daring to commit any fraud.

Originally there were more, but some were used up due to the huge expense of supporting the army.

Lu Zhengyuan did not cut off the supply of troops, but instead supplied as much as possible. He knew that these troops ultimately belonged to the imperial court.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty welcomed and sent each other off, which happened once a year.

Standing on the deck, Lu Zhengyuan looked at the majestic and massive Shangjing City. He was originally from Liang, and he didn't have much sense of belonging before, but now he felt an excitement he had never felt before.

I, Lu Zhengyuan, am back!

He shouted loudly in his heart.
