Chapter 190 Landlord Launni Farmers Self -cultivation Farmers

Zhu Xi stood up and said slowly.

"Jiang Xinghuo has the last three lessons, and he will be released from prison. Before the next class, I will go to prison to listen to one or two lessons, observe the person, and finally judge whether I want to use him as a national teacher.

Come to develop the national strength of Daming, help me complete the Gong Gongye of the "Governance of the Tang and Song dynasties, the distant Han and Tang dynasties."

"In addition, what the master said, first remove the intervention of Jiang Xinghuo, and only two princes, one south, one north, and there is also a place that needs to be discussed."

Zhu Xi's mind is actually well understood.

In fact, whether it is the ‘Emperor-Prince’ s southern Beijing decentralization, whether it is rejected by Zhu Xi ’s nominal, or if the historical line does not interfere with Jiang Xinghuo, Zhu Xi and Zhu Gaochi will inevitably appear in the future.

The root causes lies in the general state of the north and south of the Ming Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty.

The south and north have gone through hundreds of years of division. From the imperial examination system, cultural level, living habits, and belonging, the sense of belonging is completely split.

Therefore, for the unity of Daming, in the Yongle Dynasty and even the two or three generations behind, they must choose this road.

—— Some people are in the south, and some people have to be north.

So if Zhu Xi goes to a certain capital himself, in the heart of Zhu Xi at this time, it is better to let the two sons south and north.

Because of this, not only the problems that Nanjing and Beijing need to be guarded are resolved immediately.

Zhu Xi can also release it from a certain fixed position, and even said that the two sons are divided into two Beijing Beijing. Zhu Xi took the soldiers and horses to Mongolia in the north.

guard.

The two sons can avoid the increasingly fierce contradictions together, so that the courtiers have stood in line, and they have different parties with each other.

Zhu Xi can also observe their abilities through their respective governance local and handling attitudes and performances, and see who is more suitable to become the heirs of their own throne.

Therefore, Zhu Xi believes that there are many benefits to test the two sons separately.

Avoid the internal fighting, avoid the disassembly of the imperial power, and solve the need for people to guard the people in South Beijing.

In addition, for the "military power" problem that Zhu Xi is most concerned about, Dao Yan also gave a solution to the countermeasures.

Throwing the generals who did not deal with the two sons together, any son could not affect another group that supported him, which supported him, but the emperor could firmly grasp the military power through cross -control.

But there is one of the most critical issues.

After the two sons are separated, how to investigate?

If it is a lottery, who will lose when he gets to Beijing!

Because of the four years of Jingnan, in the sustainable exhaustion, all the forces for war have caused the human resources and material resources of the Pehorba Du Division to dry up, the population is sharp, the cultivated land is deserted, and the poor are left.

On the other hand, Nanjing has always been the big rear of the Jianwen court. Except for the last Yan Army crossed the river, it has not suffered any war. There are many people, the field is fertile, and there is a Yangtze River shipping.

Therefore, compared with Nanjing, Beijing is not on a horizontal line at all.

Zhu Xi looked at Dao Yan and asked: "The master thinks, who goes to Nanjing? Who goes to Beijing? How can you inspect fairly?"

Daoyan turned the Buddha beads in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, what matters most is not who goes to Nanjing or Beijing, but the word 'fairness'."

"The Northland is in ruins. In the eighth year of Hongwu's reign, Beijing's population was only over 100,000. After nearly 20 years of development, now including military households, Beijing's household registration is only 60,000, and the population is only over 300,000."

"Looking at Nanjing, there are 140,000 confirmed household registrations and a population of more than 700,000. Counting the merchants and officials from the Jiangnan area, the shift craftsmen who are recruited to build various buildings every year, and the Imperial College students, the population is probably

There are close to 900,000 people, which is nearly one million people."

"In terms of population alone, there is more than three times the gap between Nanjing and Beijing. As for the fertility of the fields, trade routes and trade volume, culture and education, etc., they are even more different."

Dao Yan concluded: "Therefore, if Your Majesty intends to fairly examine the two princes, he must choose to determine the gap between Nanjing and Beijing based on population, taxation, trade, culture and education, etc., and use fairer numbers from different aspects.

A multiplier can be used to smooth the gap between the two parties, so that a fair investigation can be conducted."

"At the same time, it should be noted that the multipliers in these aspects should not be too large in some aspects, such as population growth. This is because the population in the south has almost filled the city, while the decline in the north requires relocation of the population.

To be clear, once the multiplier is too large, the population in the north will grow faster due to poor population base. If the multiplier is added to the increase, the number in the north will suddenly exceed that in the south."

Zhu Di rubbed his eyebrows a little, put down his hand and said.

"What the master said makes sense, and it is fair. As for how to determine these multipliers, the master has been in charge of Beijing's affairs for four years. I think even if there is something unclear, I can just write to the Ministry of Household Affairs to understand it."

Can you provide relevant information about Nanjing?"

Dao Yan replied: "That's right. I need Xia Shangshu to look at the information, balance it, and finally explain the truth to His Majesty."

"Xia Yuanji?" Zhu Di nodded slightly, "I have always been at ease with Xia Shangshu's affairs. If I write an edict in my hand, Master Daoyan will go and explain it clearly to Xia Shangshu on my behalf."

Seeing Zhu Di sitting at his desk drafting an edict, Dao Yan smiled.

"Qian Gang is arbitrary. It is only within the thoughts of His Majesty's Sacred Heart. As long as Your Majesty does not reveal his decision or draw lots fairly, then the person who makes the rules will definitely not favor any party."

Hearing this, the corners of Zhu Di's pursed lips moved.

This is the truth. As long as he is not sure of the final result, anyone who wants to make a fuss about the inspection rules must consider whether he will shoot himself in the foot.

At the same time, the same is true for the variable Jiang Xinghuo.

As long as Zhu Di doesn't say which side to put Jiang Xinghuo, who is worshiped as the national master, then any party's plan will also be self-defeating.

Zhu Di personally completed the edict and handed over to Xia Yuanji the task of inquiring about Nanjing and Beijing's population, taxation, products, commerce, number of scholars, children, scholars, and candidates, and asked him to determine the relevant multipliers.

Zhu Di handed the edict to Dao Yan, looked at Dao Yan and said.

"This is a big matter involving the establishment of a crown prince. Except for Xia Shangshu, no one else is allowed to know."

Zhu Di believed that Daoyan had never made any mistakes after following him for so many years. He still had some sense of propriety, and he just gave casual instructions out of habit.

"certainly."

There was an inexplicable meaning in Daoyan Gujing Mubo's expression.

"I won't go into details about my considerations. You must be very clear about it. The prince's decision is just like the strategy suggested by the master. Let the eldest son and the second son go to Nanjing and Beijing respectively. The period can be set for a fixed period of time. Finally, the plan will be drawn up according to the plan.

The multiplier rules will be used to examine their performance in all aspects and ultimately determine the position of the crown prince."

"No matter who becomes the crown prince, the other must go to the anointed place to be crowned king, and swear a blood oath in front of the ancestral temple. The future emperor of Ming Dynasty will not harm him for any reason or by any means."

Dao Yan nodded, this method is quite fair.

In fact, it is precisely because of this special era and special people that there is a fight for the crown prince. If it were left to peacetime, there would be no controversy at all about the establishment of a direct heir.

It's just that Zhu Gaochi currently has the full support of Zhu Di's basic base, the Jingnan Xungui Group. In addition, Zhu Gaochi is in poor health and is close to the civil servant group, which Zhu Di doesn't like, so there is such a thing as a battle for the crown prince.

After the solution on how to deal with the dispute between his two sons was decided, Zhu Di's expression also relaxed a lot.

The two of them sat opposite each other, which was the end of the duel between monarch and minister, and they switched to the mode of chatting with friends.

"Actually, I also know in my heart that the reason for today's dispute is simply that I myself can't make up my mind because of all these involvements, and I can't decide on the heir."

"But master, you should understand my difficulties."

Zhu Di's expression was full of helplessness.

Only at this time, Zhu Di didn't look like an iron-blooded emperor, but an old father who worried about his son.

"Although Lao Er has a reckless and irritable personality, he did make great contributions during the Jingnan Campaign, especially in the two fierce battles in Gaocheng and Jiahe. If Lao Er hadn't worked so hard to boost morale, our heavy cavalry would have been exhausted and sweating.

Even though I'm wearing heavy armor and I'm still charging into the battle with him, I'm afraid I would have been defeated a long time ago."

Zhu Di paused and said: "Of course, the biggest shortcoming of the second child is that he is not familiar with government affairs. The second shortcoming is that he rarely listens to people's advice. He has been like a demon king since he was a child. Jiang Xinghuo can control him. It is really the so-called "one thing can bring down the enemy".

It’s something that even I can’t think of.”

"Time is also destiny."

Daoyan stopped the Buddhist beads in his hand and said pointedly.

"This may not be the fate of the second prince."

"As for the boss." Zhu Di shook his head, "I feel I owe him and understand his prudence and hard work, but I also don't like that he is too close to the civil servants. It's okay if I don't like it. What worries me the most

.is the boss’s body!”

"I am afraid that if I make my eldest son the crown prince, something like my eldest brother will happen, and I will really follow the path of Emperor Taizu Gao."

Every word Zhu Di said was sincere. This was a rare expression of true feelings from an emperor, and Dao Yan was also a little moved for a moment.

Dao Yan sighed softly: "Your Majesty feels that all this is too similar to what happened in Hongwu in the past. It even seems like if your Majesty appoints the eldest prince as the heir in the future, something will happen due to physical reasons. If your Majesty wants to pave the way for the future grandson,

, the events of Jingnan will have to happen again.”

Zhu Di was silent for a moment and finally nodded.

This is what Zhu Di is worried about. If Zhu Gaochi is healthy, he will not be able to compete for the reserve.

However, at such a young age, Zhu Gaochi often felt dizzy and nauseated, and was physically weak. Sometimes he would faint if he was sleep deprived and anxious.

This information can't hide Zhu Xi at all.

"Taisun."

Zhu Xi was trapped.

The boss also has an advantage. It is compared with the second child. The boss has a son -in -law, and Zhu Zhanji played the little cleverness, and he was very clever to like the couple of Zhu Xi and Queen Xu.
