Daming now needs a large number of personnel to support construction.
Most of the people who committed the crime this time can be considered good citizens, but it only involved the royal family and the nine ethnic groups.
Giving a chance is not a big deal. The key is that the old man has to step up.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to kill so many people at once. It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang was bloodthirsty, but there were very few such things as killing ordinary people in Zhu Yuanzhang's records.
The main reason is that there are so many corrupt officials, or nobles who have affected the stability of the old Zhu family's throne.
With the steps in hand, Zhu Yuanzhang only hesitated slightly and said, "Then let's do it according to what Da Sun said."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Jing, the Minister of Punishment below, first breathed a sigh of relief.
No one wants to bear the burden of such a huge massacre. Thinking about so many people dying, they can't sleep well at night. The key is that these people really died unjustly.
Naturally, His Majesty Long Wei is not afraid, but they, the ministers, cannot bear it.
Shanxi's eucalyptus is lonely here.
Even so, nearly 7,000 people were executed in the end without even a chance of exile.
The amount of money involved is too high, and it is even more outrageous than Guo Hengyu in the 18th year of Hongwu.
From a side perspective, it is too easy for current officials to commit corruption.
In this regard, Zhu Ying is also dedicated.
Anti-corruption is a long-term work. No matter what kind of policy it is, there will always be someone to implement it, and there will always be loopholes that can be exploited.
Not to mention it is now, even in future generations, how can we truly put an end to corruption.
What's more, in today's official-based society, the only thing we can do is to continuously increase the intensity of supervision.
As the New Year approaches, the weather is getting colder and colder.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always been healthy and strong, also contracted the cold.
For young people, the wind-cold may be something you can endure even if you don't take medicine, but for older people like Zhu Yuanzhang, it is a bit of a hardship.
Regarding His Majesty's health, the doctors at the Tai Hospital suddenly became nervous.
After taking the pulse with three of the top imperial doctors, they had to go back to hold a meeting to finally consider and discuss the prescription.
The combination and dosage of each medicinal ingredient must be carefully considered and studied without any delay.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was lying on the bed, laughed and said to Zhu Ying who was waiting next to him: "Look, you are scared. It's just a cold. It's not a big deal. Why are you so nervous?"
"We know very well about our body that it will be fine in two or three days at most."
"Remember when we...cough cough cough."
Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to talk about his experience of suffering from illness when he was down and out. As a result, he broke into a violent cough without a breath.
Zhu Ying quickly half-supported the old man and patted his back to help him calm down.
"Grandpa's health is in the best condition, and of course my grandson knows that, but the weather is very cold now, and it's normal for grandpa's physical condition to be a little nervous even for Ming Dynasty Zuo."
Every winter is a difficult time for the elderly.
The death of old people in winter is also the most common.
Zhu Ying did not want the old man to pass away so soon. It was not that he did not want to shoulder the responsibility of the emperor, but that Zhu Ying now truly regarded the old man as his grandfather and close relative.
"Hey, we're just getting older. Actually, I really want to go out for a walk again and see the Ming Dynasty."
"I think the changes in the past few years have been very big. It should be much better than it was back then."
"Since Nanjing was established as the capital, we rarely leave Nanjing."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked out the window and said in a gloomy tone.
He didn't go out in the past because he was busy with government affairs, and there were so many things that Daming needed to deal with personally, so he didn't have time at all.
Speaking of which, who likes to immerse themselves in work every day? It is true that Zhu Yuanzhang is a workaholic, but as the emperor, the most powerful person in the world, his more motivation is to make the Ming Dynasty permanent.
The Ming Dynasty was just founded, but after being devastated by the chaos of the late Yuan Dynasty, it can be said that it is riddled with holes and fragmented.
He wants to leave a good family fortune to his children and grandchildren, not a mess.
Among them, naturally there is also the reason for the big girl.
When she was a big girl, although Zhu Yuanzhang was also a model worker, she also paid attention to rest.
Later, when the eldest sister left, Zhu Yuanzhang felt uncomfortable every day, so he put all his thoughts on government affairs in order to relieve his pain of missing her.
It is now thanks to the efforts of the great grandson that the Ming Dynasty has blossomed into unimaginable splendor, and with the reform of the system, the emperor himself has become less involved in things, and this can be regarded as free time.
Zhu Yuanzhang now gradually recognized the way Sun handled the situation. In addition to tightly grasping military power, other matters were basically left to the ministers themselves to handle.
Just look at the final results and political performance.
"Grandpa, when you get better, we, grandpa and grandson, can go out and have a look, see what is now the Ming Dynasty, and see where grandpa has been."
Zhu Ying thought for a moment and suggested.
In fact, Zhu Ying had this idea a long time ago and took the old man around for a while.
Although the palace is nice, it is very boring to stay here every day.
Going out for a walk and seeing different scenery can help you relax your mind better.
When a person is in a good mood, he will naturally become healthier.
"Okay, we've always wanted to visit Annan. I heard it's very warm there even in winter. We've wanted to visit it for a long time."
"When the cold wind passes, let's go to Annan."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Da Sun's suggestion, he spoke directly.
Now that he is getting older and older, he wants to do more trouble while he is still strong.
In the next few years, I will have no choice but to stay in Nanjing city.
Zhu Ying didn't expect that the old man actually wanted to go to Annan.
The pressure came on all of a sudden.
However, looking at the old man's hopeful eyes, he still nodded and said: "Okay, then let's go to Annan."
Your Majesty and your grandson are going to Annan.
This is a huge matter for the entire Ming Dynasty.
The first thing is to make sure you are on the road. Naturally, you have to take the land route rather than the sea route.
The risks at sea are too great, and unforeseen events are easy to happen. If we really encounter a storm at sea, this will be a huge blow to the entire Ming Dynasty.
It's basically very safe on land.
Nowadays, the internal situation of the Ming Dynasty is quite stable, and the security team of the grandfather and grandson is of course very large.
It is inevitable to have an accompanying army. Although the cost is definitely not small, for the current Ming Dynasty, it cannot be said to be a big burden.
The news that the grandfather and grandson were going to tour the south soon spread throughout the court.
This will naturally be opposed by many civil servants.
In fact, as far as going out is concerned, Zhu Yuanzhang once took his sons to the public for private visits incognito on a few occasions to understand the public sentiment.
The opposition from civil servants this time was not due to safety or anything else, but was mainly due to concerns about His Majesty's physical condition.
Now that His Majesty has already been infected with the cold, he is still thinking about going out for a dance. The objection is out of filial piety as a minister.
Of course, this is just a formality, and there will rarely be any changes to what Zhu Yuanzhang has decided.
The ministers were not really opposed.
Now there are less than two months left before Hongwu's thirtieth anniversary.
According to calculations, I planned to spend the winter south this year.
If this is the case, naturally they are not a simple grandfather and grandson.
Basically, those in the palace who can be together will be brought together.
These concubines in the harem, including the princes and grandsons who are already quite old, will be taken out to expand their horizons.
For example, Ye Yueqing and several other concubines, except Sultana who cannot go because of her pregnancy, will all go with them.
And further south, the temperature is much higher.
When the temperature starts to warm up in spring, we can return to Nanjing again.
Preparations will begin soon.
The first is the dissemination of Dibao.
The emperor wanted to tour the south. Naturally, it was impossible to hide it. On the contrary, it was even more important to make a big fanfare.
It is best to let local officials know early that the emperor is coming and they need to prepare in advance.
There are also the Praetorian Guards following.
Those who can protect the emperor's safety naturally need the most elite army in the entire Ming Dynasty.
The number of troops cannot be too small or too large.
According to the current situation, Zhu Ying tentatively estimates that 50,000 people are enough.
In fact, this number is already very large in terms of the tours that emperors of all dynasties have made. Generally speaking, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people, and it is rare to bring 50,000 people with them.
After all, the Ming Dynasty's treasury is still full, and there is no need to worry about spending.
Fifty thousand people may not seem like many, but in fact, when they arrive at a certain place, there will be local troops following them.
It can also be considered a type of soldier.
Every time other emperors went on tour, they had to do a good accounting and calculate the costs.
The purpose of this tour is, firstly, to understand the sentiments of the people, and secondly, to visit the mountains and rivers.
Of course, you shouldn’t miss any places of interest and beautiful sights.
Similar to later generations, the emperor also had to have strategies when going on tour.
These strategies are naturally arranged by the ministers.
Wherever there is fun, delicious food, and good-looking things, everything must be arranged.
There is another key point during this tour.
That is, every time we go to a place, we will notify the local people.
The first is the warm welcome given by the people to the emperor, and the pomp and ceremony must be indispensable to fully reflect the people's recognition of the imperial power.
Then there is the issue of petitioning.
For cases that local officials have not dealt with well, or for people who have been wronged, His Majesty has the power to directly issue petitions after his inspection arrives.
If there are any local officials who are corrupt and bend the law, they will naturally be dealt with directly.
Who doesn’t want to go out and play?
On the third day after the appointment, Zhu Yuanzhang got up from bed, his complexion suddenly improved, and his face was filled with smiles.
Everyone loves traveling.
Especially the emperor.
This time the road starts from Nanjing and then passes through Hefei, Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Zhou, and Xi.
Then take a boat from Qiongzhou to Annan.
The last stop is Champa.
Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to see his grandson.
It has been quite a while since Zhu Yunwen occupied the city. Although the eldest grandson is the most important, this does not mean that Zhu Yuanzhang has no feelings for Zhu Yunwen.
In terms of time, Zhu Yunwen has actually been with Zhu Yuanzhang.
I grew up in the palace since I was a child.
Now that the vassal clan has gone to Champa City, Zhu Yuanzhang actually didn't say anything verbally, but he still missed him a little in his heart.
I might as well go and have a look while I'm on my southern tour.
And this trip to Champa also had a good impact on the expansion of the Ming Dynasty.
As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Taisun.
It is completely possible to replace Champa's border defense in the name of ensuring safety.
You can't just say that when the emperor comes, you can still let the army occupy the city to garrison it. Of course, all of them must be Ming troops.
At this point, there is no reason why King Zhan would not agree.
By then, at least 200,000 troops will be stationed in Champa.
Speaking of which, the happiest people are naturally Chen Muyue and Ananya.
Ananya returned to Champa for the first time since she came to Ming Dynasty.
Chen Muyue returned to Annan for the second time.
There was an ocean-going fleet before us, and this time it is His Majesty's southern patrol.
Many smart ministers already have guesses in their minds.
It is rare to say that the emperor's inspections would go beyond the borders of the country, but this time His Majesty's destination was Annan and Champa.
Politically speaking, this is a good guide for the migration of people in the Ming Dynasty.
The imperial court constantly encouraged Ming people to settle in Nanyang.
Even the imperial court has planned to allocate part of the treasury money as fixed expenses for the migration.
In other words, we will provide routes for people who are willing to migrate.
Of course, water transport is the main one, while land transport is more expensive.
Starting from the Yangtze River Basin, they then migrated to Annan and Champa via sea navigation.
This includes Qiongzhou.
Recently in Dongfan, a bounty of 100,000 guan of treasure money has been distributed. Anyone who can find a safe channel to Dongfan can get this 100,000 guan of treasure money.
Don't look at the Ming Dynasty court where there are millions, even tens of millions, and hundreds of millions of treasure notes.
In fact, one hundred thousand guan of treasure banknotes is already considered a huge fortune for these merchants who travel to sea.
It can be foreseen that after Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ying and others' southern tour, there will inevitably be a massive migration boom.
This is also the result Zhu Ying has always wanted.
Without the incorporation of a large number of Han people, how could the Ming Dynasty acquire Nanyang?
As long as the number of Han people in Nanyang is large enough, it will become a very simple matter to bring the entire Nanyang under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
With Nanyang, Ming Dynasty has the guarantee to break through the three hundred years of imperial rule.
Even if there is some damage, it is no longer a delusion to survive the Little Ice Age safely and break the curse of historical dynasties changing due to climate.
The development of Nanyang was obviously a national policy of the Ming Dynasty.
This southern tour is the first, and it will definitely not be the last.
It was very easy for Ming Dynasty to gather tens of thousands of people.
The current time for the start of the southern tour mainly depends on Zhu Yuanzhang's physical condition.
"It has been seven days. Our health has already recovered and we are ready to go at any time."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the imperial doctor helplessly and took his pulse, and then said to his eldest grandson.
For the sake of the old man's health, even if he recovered, Zhu Ying asked the imperial doctor to observe him for three days to make sure there was nothing wrong before starting the southern tour.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already impatient, unable to hold back.
It wasn't until the imperial doctor responded and confirmed that His Majesty's body had fully recovered that Zhu Ying agreed to start the southern tour.
