Everything in the world is always undergoing transactions.
Just like the law of conservation of energy that is going on all the time.
Glancing at the Yamen of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion in front of him, Zhu Yunxi threw the riding whip in his hand to Sun Cheng who was standing aside.
Before even walking up the steps, the officers and soldiers in front of the Yamen were already bending down and clasping their fists.
Entering the main hall of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, Zhu Yunxi saw Chang Sheng, the founding father of the country, and Lan Yu, the Duke of Liang, sitting on the top chairs on the left and right of the main hall.
Obviously, these two people just arrived.
The timing of stepping is very accurate.
Zhu Yunxi smiled silently.
This is the current structure of the military above the court.
Silently, Zhu Yunxi walked past everyone present and went straight to the seat of the Chief Governor of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion.
"I see you, the Emperor's grandson."
All the meritorious generals stood up, cupped their fists and saluted.
Zhu Yunxi nodded, stretched out his hand and gestured for everyone to sit down.
And he quietly stared at the people in front of him.
Except for the two princes Chang Sheng and Lan Yu, everyone present here is without exception the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty.
One after another, the Ming Dynasty has been twenty-five years old, and they have all reached the end of their prime, but they still represent the soldiers and the army of the Ming Dynasty.
There is no one present who has no meritorious status.
Today's transaction is destined to be extremely dirty, and those military lieutenant generals who have never achieved meritorious status are not qualified to participate.
Even though their family owns thousands of acres of fertile land.
Because the people present already represent the Ming Dynasty’s military.
"Today, in a hurry, I have invited you all here just for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. I also hope that all of you, uncles and seniors, will show your kindness."
Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth and his words were very polite, but the content was not polite at all.
The entire article can be reduced to one single word.
This is to do business with integrity, no matter how arbitrary, no matter what the so-called uncles and seniors are.
Lan Yu and Chang Sheng looked at each other.
The two of them move around less and less now. With the third son of the Chang family entering the palace and serving as the commander of the imperial guard, no one can stop the Chang family's rise again.
Sapphire can only give way, otherwise the entire system will collapse and cease to exist.
And after Tang Li of the Xinguo Gongfu came to the DPRK to serve as the chief governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Palace, the DPRK's military in Beijing was inevitably divided into a small group.
Everyone present knows what happened in Zhejiang Road.
Farmers spread themselves across acres, officials and gentry merge into one, and merchants pay heavy taxes.
All of these are inseparable from the people present.
The two princes looked at each other, and the people below were also silently speculating.
Chang Sheng couldn't resist the pressure from Lan Yu's eyes, so he turned his head and said: "I would like to ask the grandson to show me that for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely live up to the great trust and do my best to do it!"
As usual, as long as someone in the army speaks out, many things will be settled.
But at this time, Zhu Yunxi clearly looked at Liang Guogong Lanyu on the other side.
Facing her nephew's gaze in confusion, Lan Yu couldn't help but become nervous for a moment.
It’s just an unreasonable tension.
After taking a few breaths, Lan Yu said in a deep voice: "The same is true for me."
The hearts of everyone present were slightly moved. The Emperor Taisun's move was obviously another hint that Liang Guogong and Jianguo Gong in the army were two parties, not one.
This will not be determined by their actual relationship, but by the will of the emperor's grandson or the royal family.
Zhu Yunxi finally sat down.
After sitting down, Zhu Yunxi said his second sentence after arriving today: "Zhejiang Road is promoting the promotion of allotments into acres, the integration of officials and gentry, and heavy taxation of merchants. What do you think?"
No one spoke, and the main hall was silent.
Everyone knows that the Emperor Taisun is not asking them to give their true thoughts at this time, but just wants them to know that what Zhejiang Road is doing is now in front of them.
This made everyone present feel very embarrassed.
They are the meritorious deeds of the Ming Dynasty. They followed the emperor at the founding of the country and risked their lives to fight all the way. They bled and were injured on the battlefield, and many old friends fell to the founding of the new dynasty.
Over the years, the emperor has killed many of his former brothers, and they have become more and more content. They just go around the countryside to get more food for each family.
Now, this honor will be gone.
It is a lie to say that you are willing, but what if you are not willing?
Those military generals who are not qualified to participate in today's transaction, which can be said to be the Hongmen Banquet, are waiting for the top position all the time.
For no reason, this group of ruthless men in the army suddenly became literate and thought of an idiom.
A glass of wine to relieve military power!
At this time, Zhu Yunxi had also spoken.
"Whatever happens in Zhejiang will definitely come true! This is a national policy and a matter of the country, dynasty and society."
"It is now the twenty-fifth year of the reign of the state. On Xuanwu Lake, the number of acres of land in the world is published. If you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, the same is true for upholding state affairs."
"The world's population is getting more and more, more and more. The imperial court takes exams every three years, and there are more and more so-called seeds for reading."
This is the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunxi said calmly, and then looked at the meritorious generals of the country in front of him.
His tone suddenly changed, implying a profound meaning: "Nowadays, the imperial court is also marching to the north every year. The soldiers are victorious and return triumphantly, and the imperial court always has to give out a reward."
At this point, he stopped.
The Ming Dynasty has gone through twenty-five years, and today's Ming Dynasty has not just driven away the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty.
At that time, the fields were deserted and the population was sparse. It was common for thousands of miles of embankments to be without people, and it was common for tens of thousands of acres of fertile land to be left uncultivated.
However, after these twenty-five years, thanks to the hardworking genes of the people of the Central Plains since ancient times, it is now difficult for the Ming Dynasty to find an uncultivated field.
Even in disaster years, when people abandon their fields, the government or rural gentry will make use of it and will never let it go unused.
But this was not the end. On the way to Zhejiang Road with Xia Yuanji, Zhu Yunxi asked a lot of questions, all of which were within the scope of the Ministry of Household Affairs' responsibilities.
In just these twenty-five years, the land of Ming Dynasty has not only been planted with crops, but also has become full of people.
The Ministry of Household Affairs can see with the naked eye that there is always less space to collect taxes.
The amount of resource production has not decreased, but the resources that can be collected have decreased. This is very unreasonable.
There is only one reason for this situation.
A large number of social production resources have been misappropriated by private individuals.
As Zhu Yunxi said, the educated gentry, the meritorious generals, and the clan that he never mentioned, each of these groups continued to occupy the land that had not grown for private ownership.
If you enrich yourself, you will starve the country.
Chang Sheng, the founding father who had been prepared for a long time, sighed slightly, things finally reached an imbalanced point.
But he was already prepared and silently put his hands into his arms.
Before he could take out the book with the number of properties recently counted at home.
Zhu Yunxi above had already taken out a notebook and slapped it on the table.
"The imperial envoy of the King of Qin supervised the disaster relief work in Zhejiang Province. He felt the suffering of the people. As a member of the royal family, my second uncle could not bear to have the people of the world go through the days of being deprived of food and clothing."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi raised the notebook in his hand and waved it in front of everyone.
"The King of Qin has said that this time the land of the Qin vassal will be paid in full according to the fixed number of acres for Zhejiang road stalls, and all the land will be transferred to the Dakang of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but think of that day, when he was about to rush from Hangzhou to the next day, he was stopped by Lao Ershu, who had been hiding in Siyamen, Zhejiang Province's chief envoy all winter.
Zhu Yunxi clearly remembered that the second uncle's expression that day was very complex, something he had never seen on the eldest clan prince of the Ming Dynasty.
The old second uncle didn't say anything, he just handed this memorandum about Qin Fan's implementation of the system of sharing the land between the officials and the gentry into his own hands, and then called out to the woman who was sent to the back office by Liu Man before.
Words like awesome.
Zhu Yunxi could only accept it with a wry smile.
He knew very well that this old uncle was probably scared. Half of the Zhejiang Road was cut off in his own hands, and he was afraid that he would repeat this scene in Qin Fan.
Everyone thinks that King Qin is a violent person, but they don’t know that any of the princes who founded the Ming Dynasty were stupid.
Just because of their identities, they are allowed to have various personalities.
When Chang Sheng, Lan Yu and others heard this, their expressions changed dramatically.
Everyone knows that with the statement of King Qin, the first prince of the clan, those who started their careers following the Ming Dynasty have no excuse to refuse.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is concerned about the country and the people, and he is setting an example for the country. Ministers should work hard and set an example."
Chang Sheng was the first to react, and took the opportunity to take out the notebook he had touched, stood up and walked to Zhu Yunxi, offered it with both hands, and carefully placed it on the table.
Everyone looked at the book that the founding father took out with confusion.
Everyone felt something was wrong.
Zhu Yunxi looked blankly at the second uncle in front of him, and then glanced at the book placed in front of him.
But he didn't read it.
Instead, he said to everyone present: "There is another memorial here, which is prepared to be submitted to the old man together with His Highness King Qin's memorial."
Under the gaze of everyone, today's memorials and books seemed to be free of charge, and another one was taken out from Zhu Yunxi's arms.
"This is a memorial to the old man asking the imperial court to open the Royal Military Academy in Xicheng."
The Royal Military Academy, this is one of the items Zhu Yunxi is preparing to carry out in this dirty deal.
Except for Chang Sheng, no one present understood what this was.
But the word "college" can be heard clearly.
Is it like the Confucian academy that teaches and educates people?
Just when these people were wondering what the Royal Military Academy was.
Zhu Yunxi had already begun to explain: "In the twenty-fifth year of our reign, there have been more and more veteran generals in the army. How many more years can you serve in battle, and how many more years will it take for your children to become talented? Gu Zuo please open a Royal Military Academy to take advantage of the merits of everyone in the army.
Veteran general, teach me the knowledge of the Ming Dynasty military strategists in the academy. After achieving meritorious service, the military officers will enter the school to educate me and the Ming Dynasty soldiers will be prosperous!"
Zhu Yunxi said the first item of this transaction.
In the main hall of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, there was already a burst of noise.
