As for domestic and internal affairs, they are also extremely clear.

The agricultural tax is one for thirty, and all miscellaneous taxes and corvees are exempted, which is really the lowest point in history.

However, through commercial tax, labor tax, rich tax, sea trade, etc., the center is still moist.

All counties are connected by roads, and now in developed areas, village road projects are being promoted.

In terms of official administration, the Ministry of Officials has a clean and honest visit envoy, the Yushitai supervises the censor, and the Dali Temple's grievance envoy patrols all over the place, but if there is a grievance, it will be settled immediately.

Ten years ago, Wang Bianqiang, the son of Wang Xie, a veteran official of the Eastern Palace, took the women of the people and killed them. From Wang Xie, Dali Siqing, down to Zhizhou Zhixian, more than a hundred officials were killed. It was a sensation.

The emperor was not afraid of killing people, but all corrupt officials who harmed the people and were exiled for three thousand miles would all be smoked from the ancestral graves.

Of course, the emperor was not stingy either.

Let’s just talk about Zheng Juzhong, who was not favored by the emperor. After his illness and death, he was posthumously granted the title of Duke of the state, and later granted the fiefdom.

Another example is Zong Ze, who worked hard all his life and died of illness in office. With a wave of his hand, the emperor posthumously named him King of the Three Mountains, and the fief was divided equally between his two sons.

(Zhongshan Kingdom, Shanbei Kingdom, and Shannan Kingdom are collectively known as the Three Mountain Kingdoms, which are the Ryukyu Islands)

Another example is Liu Kai, Zhang Shuye, etc. who are favored by the emperor, and the three kings of the same family are all sealed.

Of course, through the granting of titles, the empire also quickly consolidated the rule of the newly occupied areas.

Rebellion?

The Central Plains split the land and seal the king, and the world attacked it together. If the land is not chaotic, who would dare to jump?

Not to mention anything else, just talking about a population of one billion, with [-] million in the mainland, and all the princes combined are not opponents.

Other newspapers are full of articles, but Kaifeng Daily, the mouthpiece of the imperial court with the longest history, only published a map.

In the palace, Zhao Huan looked at the huge world map.

The green core area is the original territory of the Northern Song Dynasty plus Youyun, and the yellow local area extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the East Asia Canal (Siam’s internal sea-connecting canal) in the south.

The outer periphery of the mainland is a red feudal country area, the most eye-catching is the original Tianzhu and Australia, each divided into several thousand pieces, more than a hundred kings, more than a thousand dukes, countless marquises, earls, and barons.

There are not many fiefdoms in America and Africa, and the large areas are still white.

White means discovered but not exploited.

It's not that I don't want to, but that I have more than enough energy.

It is because the domestic population is not enough.

At the beginning, the people from Champa, the Li Dynasty, were moved to the Western Regions of Hetao, the Japanese Koreans were moved to Australia and America, and the Africans were moved to the Japanese country Koryo...

Moving back and forth, the population was finally broken to one billion.

Among them, the number of native purebred Han people has remained at more than [-]%, and the number of Han people in various places will not be less than [-]%.

There is an unspoken rule that has not been made clear, that is, only Han Chinese can serve as high-ranking central officials and local chief officials.

In recent years, it is not that there are no outstanding officials in Japan and Goryeo, and their promotions have been suppressed by Zhao Huan.

When will the ban be lifted?

When everyone thinks they are Han Chinese, they will naturally stop distinguishing each other.

In addition to white, there is also a black area.

Here, the Roman Empire, the Western Liao Empire, and the Western Jin Empire stand on top of each other, controlling the Europa continent.

When the Song Dynasty had entered the era of steam cannons, they were still playing horseback riding and hacking. Only the most elite in the empire could be equipped with gunpowder guns.

It doesn't matter whether you fight this area in the future or keep an enemy, there is no rush to deal with it.

After staring at the map for half an hour, Zhao Huan turned around and asked, "How is it? Have you figured it out?"

Zhao Chen knelt on the ground straight, forced a smile, and said, "Father, you are in the prime of your life, why bother to abdicate? Why don't you continue working for a few more years?"

"Yes..." Zhao Chen just got up happily, only to hear Zhao Huan say: "As long as I am still the emperor, you can kneel here."

"Ah, Dad~" With a scream, Zhao Chen resolutely followed his heart and said, "Dad, my son is willing to succeed."

"Hey, from ancient times to the present, I don't know how many murders of brothers and fathers and sons have been staged for the sake of the throne. It's good for you..." Zhu Lian didn't know what to say.

"Mother, since I can remember when I was a child, my father has complained that being an emperor is hard, boring, and boring. How do you think my son is willing to be an emperor?" After complaining a few words, Zhao Chen looked at his old mother and said, "Mother, why don't you give it to your father?" The emperor said that among the more than 30 brothers, the third brother is the most outstanding, if we don't let him..."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Huan scolded: "The inheritance of the throne is related to the stability of the empire, how can you let it go? Don't talk nonsense, get out immediately and prepare for the succession ceremony."

So, Zhao Chen walked away dejectedly.

"Lang Jun, in fact, you don't have to abdicate in such a hurry." Zhu Lian persuaded.

"It's enough for so many years. After retiring, I will show you around." Zhao Huan looked at the map again, and said, "Such a big country can't be said to be visited, at least it has to appreciate enough beautiful scenery."

In the 41st year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu ignored his subjects repeatedly to stay, and took the Zen throne with the crown prince Zhao Chen.

350 Seven Heavenly Sons as Parents of the People

"Good morning, viewers, welcome to the morning news."

The bus was packed with people, and the overhead TV was showing the morning news.

"Today is the first day of March in the 100th year of Hongwu. Emperor Hongwu's 120th birthday is approaching. However, the emperor plays games in the world and his whereabouts are uncertain. The officials promised that whoever finds the whereabouts of the emperor will be named a baron."

"We all know that it is impossible for the royal family to lose track of Emperor Hongwu. However, although this is a game played by the royal family, the baron is real. Please pay attention, everyone, maybe the emperor is by your side."

"The Zhengshitang decided that from this year, the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth days of April every year will be the Qianlong Festival, and the whole country will take a unified holiday to look for the emperor."

"Privy Council Envoy Meng Zongzheng delivered a speech. In view of global unification and no rivals, the army will be gradually disbanded, leaving only 15 Royal Guards. In addition, the air force and navy will shift to rescue."

As soon as the TV screen changed, Privy Envoy Meng Zongzheng appeared.

"Everyone knows that wherever the sun shines, there is our land, and there is no place for 300 million soldiers to use force.

In the future, we will concentrate on developing into outer space..."

As he said that, Meng Zongzheng looked up at the sky, and sighed softly: "You should find aliens. Maybe the earth will be unlucky, but you can't find them. I, a privy envoy, is extremely boring. It's so difficult..."

The TV screen immediately switched back to the live broadcast room, and the host continued: "Yesterday, the number 40 billion people in the world were born, and the officials personally called to express their congratulations."

The screen is divided into one part, the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital, and the imperial palace study room on the other. The current emperor Zhao Kuo called the lucky boy's father to express his congratulations.

Zhao Chen felt that it was impossible for him to surpass his father in his life, and he probably would be an unknown person in the future, so he did not change his year name, and he was a salted fish for 20 years in peace.
