Cicadas are chirping and butterflies are busy, it is summer quietly.
Since the Ming Dynasty civil servant group opened fire on the founding nobles' farm in the court, each one of them has been fighting hard and continues to gear up. Based on their understanding of the Ming Dynasty nobles, how could those greedy warriors hand over the occupied land?
Hand over the land.
The civil servants are all waiting. Once the nobles fail to understand what is good, they will continue to submit letters. It is best to take advantage of this matter to bring down a few arrogant nobles.
But what they don't know is that in the past few days, the confessions of the nobles have been drifting like snowflakes to the court case of the two men.
I went to war with the emperor at the age of fifteen. Over the years, relying on my seniority and some merits, I have done many illegal things!
The two fathers of the Zhu family were sitting in the imperial garden pavilion behind the Fengtian Palace. The old man was half lying on a rocking chair and squinting. Zhu Yunxi was holding a memorial and reading it loudly.
I know that although the emperor may sound tough on his words, he tolerates me in his heart. If he makes some minor mistakes, he just raises his eyelids and passes them by!
Whose trick is this? The old man suddenly opened his eyes, smiled and cursed, "It's all fucking vernacular!"
Zhu Yunxi flipped through the signatures and said with a smile, "Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen's excerpt!" He said with a smile, "Grandpa Huang, you haven't seen him write this word yet, it's like an old cockroach!"
The old man smiled slightly, Shacai!
I feel my conscience and say that although I have made meritorious service over the years, I still owe the Emperor a lot. Without the Emperor, I would not have known where I would have died, let alone the glory and wealth I have today!
The family's gold and silver have been spent for three generations, and there is no end to the farm at a glance, and the wives are in groups. But as the old saying goes, people's hearts are not enough to eat elephants...
That's because people's hearts are weak and snakes swallow elephants! The old man laughed and scolded again, he couldn't even write the notes well, he was killing his talent!
Although he laughed and scolded him, Zhu Yunxi knew that Cao Zhen's information was obviously written into the old man's heart.
Zhu Yunxi continued to read, I am too greedy and have taken too many things, so I apologize to the emperor. The civil servants said that all the land in Huaixi is in the hands of the nobles, and the common people have no land to cultivate. I thought about it and felt
It's not very exciting. We were all poor back then, but now we have turned around. We can no longer bully the common people like the nobles in the previous dynasty. Therefore, I, please return the farm and the tenant population!
He couldn't say these words! The old man sat up straight and drank the tea ceremony, but his dog brain couldn't think of anything.
After all, this is loyalty again! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, it is a good thing for the court and Fengyang that all the nobles have submitted letters to return the land!
Hey, we don’t know them yet! The old man snorted and looked at Zhu Yunxi. If you hadn’t given those benefits, these people wouldn’t be so honest! He said, and said, Dasun, the wealth over there in Goryeo should belong to
The imperial court, if you gave it to them, are you afraid that you won't be able to get it back in the future?
Zhu Yunxi put down the memorial and said, Grandpa Huang, he said it was a monopoly of the imperial court. But the imperial court was beyond its reach, and it ended up not falling into the hands of others. His grandson also borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha. Besides, in the hands of honorable nobles, the imperial court also has
A rough statistic.
I gave it to them for three or four years, but my grandson really didn’t think about taking it back in a short period of time! Just like establishing martial arts, my grandson actually wanted to use these businesses to dilute the influence of the nobles in the military.
The nobles are getting old, and they are gradually changing from a noble family to a wealthy family. Wealth cannot be maintained without power. For the sake of wealth, these families will rely more and more on the court!
The old man thought for a moment, then smiled and said, You are a soft knife. When these killers die of old age, it will only take one sentence for the court to take back their exclusive privileges in Goryeo!
In fact, my grandson never thought that way! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, what his grandson thought was that if there were new military nobles in the Ming Dynasty in the future, they would also handle it in this way. If they were rewarded with more land, the civil servants would be dissatisfied and the people would suffer. No.
If we reward these people with the wealth that makes them prosperous and wealthy, it will be a sure thing but they will make a lot more!
In the future, the Ming Dynasty will definitely expand its territory, and countless new nobles will be born along with the war. Zhu Yunxi's move is actually the same as that of the feudal royal family. He will reward them with the wealth in the occupied areas, and over time they will split.
Expanding territory is more active than anyone else.
Especially when the Age of Discovery is about to come, once the Ming Dynasty's fleet brings back countless treasures from foreign lands, the first people to be jealous are the warriors.
In the future of the Ming Dynasty, civil and military affairs were the two legs of the empire, with military and political affairs separated. Based on the Central Plains, it continued to encroach outwards. The currently known surrounding wild lands alone were enough for the Ming Dynasty to expand for hundreds of years.
Within a hundred years, both civil and military affairs, whether in the court or among the people, have developed a martial and enterprising spirit, which is of great benefit to the country and the nation.
Moreover, it can also promote maritime transportation. Take Goryeo as an example. In the past, the Ming Dynasty actually prohibited the sale of ironware, buffalo horns, sugar and other items economically to Goryeo. Now that once it is opened, it will be too inconvenient to go by land, and we will go directly from the south of the Yangtze River by sea.
, just in time to reach Shuju Port (Incheon).
It was not yet an era of giant iron-clad ships. Skilled sailors and strong shipbuilding capabilities were the foundation of the Imperial Navy.
The aura of our Zhu family is all in your head! After thinking about it for a while, the old man probably understood some of Zhu Yunxi’s thoughts and said with a smile, we can’t think of these things, and your father wouldn’t be able to think of them either if he were alive!
The emperor's grandpa is a wise man, and he allows his grandson to act recklessly! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
This is not nonsense. What you do is better than killing someone when we are angry! The old man said seriously, but the country's century-old plan cannot be impatient. Eat one meal at a time and walk on the road step by step!
Grandson, please remember!
While the two men were talking, Pu Bucheng hurried over holding a book of eight hundred miles sealed in yellow silk.
Your Majesty, Your Highness, I believe in the Duke’s message!
Zhu Yunxi took it and handed it to the old man.
When the latter opened it, he immediately frowned deeply and his face looked ugly.
Grandpa Huang, what's wrong? Zhu Yunxi asked.
Tang He is sick! The old man sighed and caught the cold wind on the boat, half of his body could no longer move!
Zhu Yunxi was shocked and quickly took the booklet and looked at it carefully.
The excerpt was probably ghostwritten by a staff member. The handwriting is neat, but the lines are full of sadness.
I am old and no longer useful. I originally wanted to serve the Emperor and His Highness for a few more years. But my health is not up to par. I drank a few too many bowls of wine in the past few days. When I woke up in the morning, my mouth was crooked, my eyes were slanted, and my saliva was drooling.
Got it!
People are no longer useful when they are old. When I see myself in this state, I wish I had died in battle back then, so as not to be in such an embarrassing situation now, unable to speak clearly and unable to walk!
As I am about to die, I have nothing else to ask for. I just feel sorry for His Highness the Emperor Taisun's great favor. I cannot take care of the errand of Jing Haijun at the same time. I would like to ask Your Highness to choose someone else.
Your Majesty, Your Highness, my time is running out. Please allow me to return to the capital, see Your Majesty again, and talk about old things. When I die, let me return to my roots and be buried in Fengyang!
Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised, but not surprised either.
Tang He was three years older than the old man, and he suffered from old injuries from his early battles.
It’s just that the Jing navy is now stationed in Shuzhou Port in Goryeo, recruiting Goryeo craftsmen to build ships, training day and night, and patrolling the northern coast of the Ming Dynasty. Tang He fell ill, who can be the commander?
Send a message to let him come back! For a moment, it seemed that the old man was getting older. He sent the imperial doctor to see if anything happened to him on the way back to Beijing.
Pu Bucheng took the order and left.
The old man sighed again, hey, he’s getting old! Then, he shook his head with a wry smile, and now he thinks of what happened back then, as if it was yesterday. Life is so damn fast! Whoosh, it’s gone! Follow us from back then
There aren’t even a few old guys from Fengyang’s hometown who are fellow villagers of Zhuangzi left!
Grandpa Huang doesn't need to worry too much. He believes in the good fortune of the country and his great fortune, so it should be fine! Zhu Yunxi comforted him.
Jing said it was nice! The old man lay down again. At this age, there is today and no tomorrow, we know it in our hearts! After saying that, he sighed again, Tang He, I have done a lot of stupid things in my life, but you know why we are so tolerant.
?
He and you both come from Gujiazhuang! You have been playmates since childhood!
Zhou Dexing has also been our playmate since we were young. Didn’t we get killed by others? The old man sneered.
