eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 625: The Imperial Construction is Extremely Strong
The reason why commercial villages are promoted in this way is that making money is the least important factor.

Besides, which dynasty and generation can make money by farming?

After all, Zhu Houzhao is also a person with some knowledge. Of course he understands this truth.

However, he still agreed to Gu Zuoshang's suggestion about using Shaofu's funds for commercial reclamation.

Because land that is not cultivated is a waste. Producing more food is a good thing for the entire country, and the recruited people can also have a livelihood.

These two points are what really make sense. As for the more than 100 million stones of grain, to be honest, it has no cost. If you sell it all, how much can you sell it for?
In addition, when the grain merchants controlled by the court can produce so much grain, emergency mobilization will definitely be faster than raising taxes from the private sector, and it can also avoid irritating the people as much as possible.

Finally, the government controls food and has the ability to influence food prices. When food prices in a certain area are too high, there are means to adjust them.

Based on these three influences, he agreed that the Shaofu grain merchants should expand the industrial chain and not just be a middleman who buys and sells goods, but should go back to the source.

At the same time, this is also a means to solve the problem of insufficient population in Sichuan, the widespread refugee population in Huguang, and the prominent contradiction between man and land in central plains such as Henan.

The disadvantage is that once corruption cannot be controlled later, the common people who are parasitic on the imperial merchant village system will have a hard time.

There's nothing you can do about it. One thing can't be good in every aspect.

He handed over this matter to Mr. Gu Zuo. He had originally considered that perhaps a cabinet minister should be responsible for it, but then he thought that for something new like this, he would let young people do it. Yang Yiqing and Wang Hao were more or less responsible. A little bit old fashioned and old fashioned.

As for Datong, the existing guard soldiers will be classified as Class B guards and the recruited soldiers will be classified as Class A guards. A combination of the two methods will be used to realize the idea of ​​further building Datong into a major military town.

After discussing with the courtiers, Zhu Houzhao decided to respond to Wang Shouren in this way.

As for those who were arrested for violating the law...

While writing Zhu's comments, the emperor said to the ministers: "It's a coincidence that a few days ago, Jinglubo also sent me a memorial, asking for instructions on how to deal with those who disobeyed. I think I can give them a unified reply: I understand. They considered that the people they arrested had thousands of households and even commanders. These people were all high-ranking court officials. It would not be good if they killed them without going to court.

But both of them hold the title of governor-general, Jinglupo holds the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Wang Shouren holds the title of Minister of the Ministry of War. I also gave them the royal flags, and they have the right to kill first and report later.Cleaning up the military garrison is a national policy that I have emphasized time and again. Disobeying the imperial orders is equivalent to defeating the army and abandoning the city. Why not kill them? "

The ministers had never heard the emperor speak like this before.

They only knew that the emperor would warn ministers to use their power with caution, but they did not expect that some people felt that their actions were still not up to standard.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao is really a moderate.
Logically speaking, as long as the occupied land is surrendered, it should be killed whether it is handed over or not. Why should you admit your mistake and not pursue the past illegal facts?

This is the legal principle.

It's just that he took a step back in order to facilitate the cleanup of the military camp.

But this step is also the last step. If you don't leave even if you are given a way to survive, who is to blame for your death?

When the last word of Zhu Pi fell, he originally wanted to put an end to it, but after much deliberation, he decided to add one more sentence to Wang Shouren: Since the above-mentioned people have clearly committed the crime of hiding land and avoiding Qingtun, why do they still need to file a memorial?Cleaning up the military camp in Datong is slow. Will official documents be delayed for another month?You bear the flag of the king's destiny and should dare to make decisions. Why are you so gentle and gentle?I will play again in the future, I want to hear about the progress of Qingtun.

After he finished writing, he read it again, and then felt that the tone was not strong enough, so he subconsciously became gentle to Wang Shouren, so he wrote the eight characters again: Remember, remember, there must be no mistakes!
"You address."

"His Majesty."

"I have approved this document. The matter is urgent, don't go through the process anymore, just have someone deliver it to Wang Shouren immediately."

"Yes."

Then Zhu Houzhao discussed the situation of the Xuan Mansion with his ministers. Yang Xing, the commander-in-chief of the Xuan Mansion, was effective in promoting the clearing of the farmland. Now the land measurement of each guard post was nearing completion, which was beyond their expectation.

This also shows Yang Xing's strong control over Xuanfu.

Naturally, Wang Hao, Yang Yiqing, and Qi Chengsui also expressed their concerns.

However, Zhu Houzhao was still a little stubborn, "I ignored all kinds of opposition and insisted on cleaning up the military camp fields. Now that I finally have a commander-in-chief who can do a good job, the court began to worry, is this not a gentleman enough and looks like a villain?" "

Yang Yiqing asked in his heart, is His Majesty worried about this, rather than really trusting Yang Xing?
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this. The veterans still want to praise Yang Xing and even promote him to a higher rank."

"Promoted to a higher position...promoted and demoted secretly?" Zhu Houzhao laughed softly, "Who is not a smart person? Who can't see it? If the court has a talent, let's hang him up with high honors and let him He's living his old age at less than fifty years old? Not smart enough."

Not smart enough?

The ministers all understand.It's just that this way of handling it is not smart, but it doesn't mean that it shouldn't be handled in this way.But Zhu Houzhao would never admit it. He waved his hand and said, "I don't doubt him. I don't doubt him. If he does a good job, he will be generously rewarded. There is still someone in the attendant's room... Oh, no, go. People will scare him and write a letter asking Yang Xing to tell us why Xuanfu can do it and why he can push it."

Give him all the honors he deserves. Don't be afraid to lift this kind of person up. You just have to lift him up so that you can see what his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys are like.

The world of the Ming Dynasty has not yet perished.

So as long as no one disturbs this matter, it won't cause a lot of trouble.

And when everyone left, Zhu Houzhao really began to retract his smile, "Is this Yang Xing a civil servant?"

Jin Gui leaned closer and answered, "He is a civil official. During the Hongzhi period, he served as the censor of Shandong Province, the political envoy of Shandong Zuo, and the inspector of Henan Province. Because of his talent in leading troops and his decisive actions, he was awarded the title of Deputy Chief Soldier of the Xuanfu in the 16th year of Hongzhi. Later, Your Majesty also granted him the title of Commander-in-Chief as usual."

"I know. You Zhi."

"The servant is here."

"Take a message to the eunuch guarding Xuanfu. He is allowed to reveal what is said in the palace today."

Zhu Houzhao showed Tao in front of his foreign ministers, but he also used magic in private.

He said that he couldn't attack a person who had meritorious service in Qingtun, at least he couldn't admit it.

But he really had to see how Yang Xing himself would deal with the suspicion of him in the court.

Civil servants are different from military officers. Civil servants must understand the way of rise and fall.

If he can't handle it, he's probably not qualified to play the game.

"Your Majesty," You Zhi asked bravely, "do you want me to send more spies from Dongchang there?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at him deeply, almost making the old eunuch sweat.

But in the end, the emperor did not lose his temper at him, but turned to ask the people in his attendant's room, "What about you, do you think you want it? Jing Yangqian said."

Jing Yang's heart trembled, and he said slightly nervously: "Reply to Your Majesty. I think I want it."

Zhu Houzhao touched his nose, squinted his eyes and said, "Not only must I do it, but I must also expose a flaw and let him know that Dongchang is coming."

He has different methods for different people.

He believed Wang Shouren, but Yang Xing... he couldn't be naive when he was an emperor.Taking the overall situation into consideration, some arrangements still have to be made.

The biggest difference between Yang Xing and others is that he was not promoted by Zhu Houzhao.

So there is no such thing as chilling or chilling. The relationship between the emperor and the generals is a mutual show. You play the role of loyalty and I play the role of kindness. Although everyone knows what is going on, no one can tell.

This is also a political drama.

So what he did was to sting him and see how he would respond.

If he handles it properly, there will be no problem. Zhu Houzhao will treat him as a person who understands the rules, and the play can continue. If he handles it improperly, it will be a fatal mistake.

In fact, just like Emperor Jiajing did to Yan Song in history, he always gave Yan Song various favors and gave him independence, implying that he was already powerful, but Yan Song just refused to be fooled and refused to catch you. This is called meeting your opponent in chess.

After all, Zhu Houzhao is a later generation, so he always has some personal emotions.In fact, this is the original life of an emperor, and this is how he comes to accompany the emperor like a tiger.

You Zhi withdrew very sensibly. There was no need for the emperor to say anything more. He would make arrangements for what should be arranged.

Everyone in the attendant's room is familiar with history books and understands the meaning of the word "emperor" better.Zhu Houzhao didn't speak, and they didn't dare to speak. They each retreated to their seats and did their own things.

The emperor was left standing alone in front of the imperial case, and silently wrote four words: The emperor's construction has its best.

The extreme refers to the middle way, the law.Huang Jian Youji said that the highest standard of justice in the world is set by the emperor.
