Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu glanced at Bumbutai, who had a ruddy complexion and was still in love with spring, and said, "Overseas, at present, we still buy grain and mainly land. Domestically, we mainly buy industries, such as light industry, cloth, and silk. We can invest more A few. Mining, iron smelting, and shipbuilding are also development directions. Don’t pursue making money right now, it’s okay to look at it in ten or twenty years..."

Bu Mu Butai is the imperial concubine after all, after hearing Zhu Xu's words, he understood, and said softly: "I understand, I will try my best to cooperate with the emperor."

The three of Zhu Xu were covered with thin blankets, the delicate bodies of the two women were faintly visible, his hands were still wandering, and the evil fire in his heart was burning again, and he said patiently: "The cabinet will set up a mining department, and you should do it. Local governments are also encouraged to join in and not to monopolize..."

Hai Lanzhu listened, watched, felt Zhu Xu's movement, and began to tease him vaguely.

Bumubutai noticed her sister's movement, pursed her lips, and gently rubbed Zhu Xu's chest with a jade hand.

Zhu Xu was furious, and just about to move, a maid from outside quietly came to the door, and said softly: "Report to the emperor, Eunuch Cao sent someone to say that Tokugawa Mingxiu has arrived at Xingyuan."

Zhu Xu pushed back the thin blanket and said loudly, "Let him wait."

Then there were the tender voices of the two girls, and soft chatter in the boudoir.

The palace maid blushed, hurriedly responded, and retreated.

It was another hour before Zhu Xu appeared in the study refreshed, with Tokugawa Akihide kneeling in front of him who was restless.

Zhu Xu had already told him that the Ming army had broken through Edo, Tokugawa Iemitsu, and Emperor Gomizuo were dead.

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said, "Do you still believe in your peace?"

Tokugawa Mingxiu knelt on the ground, with a look of panic on his face, listening to Zhu Xu's words, he didn't know how to answer, and was already sobbing faintly.

For Tokugawa Akihide, the Ming Dynasty's attack on the Japanese was to avenge the invasion of Toyotomi Hideyoshi many years ago, and the Ming Dynasty cannot be entirely blamed for the responsibility, but the Japanese country was subjugated after all.

Zhu Xu looked at him with calm eyes, and said: "I told you many years ago that peace needs to be guarded. Now, the Wa country is about to usher in eternal peace. Shouldn't you be happy about it and do something? "

Tokugawa Akihide raised his head and said bitterly, "What else can I do?"

Zhu Xu said: "Back to Japan, I will give you a place, try to fulfill your expectations, and don't let me down."

Tokugawa Akihide looked at a loss, not knowing how to answer the conversation.

Zhu Xu picked up the teacup, pondered for a moment, and said, "I want to carry out a thorough reform of the Wa country, and you will be in a key position, how to promote the Wa country to achieve permanent peace, no bullying, no killing, no war, this is what you want from now on." Things to do."

Tokugawa Akihide has no way to think now, he can only listen, not knowing how to react.

Zhu Xu had some plans for the post-war arrangements for the Wa country, but seeing Tokugawa Akihide, this idea became clearer.

"Go ahead, you'll know later." Zhu Xu said, and then gestured to Cao Huachun who was not far away.

Cao Huachun stepped forward and said, "Young Master Dechuan, let's go, the emperor has already made arrangements for you."

Tokugawa Mingxiu's mind was muddled, he kowtowed again, and said, "The villain will leave."

That night, Tokugawa Mingxiu was taken by Cao Huachun to the capital.

The aftermath of the Japanese kingdom will be a big project, and there will be a lot of interests involved, especially the number of official hats, and there will inevitably be a turbulent wrestling between the ruling and opposition parties.

The seventh volume continues the past and ushers in the future

Chapter 1400

As Zhu Xu expected, regarding the post-war disposal of the Wa Kingdom, a series of personnel arrangements, plus the scheduling of money and food, tax issues, the cabinet, the six ministries, and even the Royal Bank, the Royal Business Group, and the Royal Political Council have written letters expressing Each point of view, trying to get a piece of it.

Sun Chuanting and Sun Chengzong, the two top military and political leaders, almost broke the threshold in a few days.

It had been brewing for a long time, and after getting some approval from Zhu Xu, Sun Chuanting convened both the military and the government to hold an enlarged meeting in the cabinet.

At this meeting, the main issue was the post-war disposal of the Wa Kingdom, so the power was in the hands of the cabinet, and not only the six ministers were present, but also officials of the Royal Bank, the Royal Government Council, the Royal Business Group, and the General Administration of Taxation were present.

Sun Chuanting has held this kind of meeting many times. It was all for the "New Deal" before. He had to bargain hard with these people, forcing them to put down their bodies and do things that were within their reach but never wanted to do.

Now, when these people came to ask for help, Sun Chuanting felt elated, and realized what Zhu Xu had told him to "pay equal attention to kindness and prestige".

Sun Chuanting, who was the last one present, stood up one after another, raised his hand and said, "I have met Mr. Sun Ge."

Although Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting were regarded as chief assistants in the outside world, in fact, they were all Zuo second assistants, and Daming no longer had a first assistant.

Sun Chuanting came calmly, sat down on the chair, and then said with a smile: "Everyone sit down, there is no smell of gunpowder today, let's relax."

Everyone returned the salute, and then sat down, but their expressions did not relax much.

Although the Wa country is a barren island, it has a large population and a lot of land. In addition, there are a lot of gold mines and silver mines. Especially this time, there are a lot of official hats involved. The officialdom has always been a radish and a pit. To improve efficiency, the pits have been decreasing, and suddenly there are so many, who can not be jealous.

Sun Chuanting looked around the more than 30 people present, with a majestic expression and a smile on his face, he said: "The Japanese kingdom has always been my confidant's serious trouble, and now this threat has been removed. Several letters are all praising the emperor for being wise and powerful, and the court is decisive..."

Many people were expressionless, and many people looked embarrassed and forced themselves to be "reserved".

Regarding the war against the Japanese, Zhu Xu had confirmed a few years ago that the top officials of the imperial court had been preparing for it, but there were more objections to starting the war against the Japanese at this time.

Sun Chuanting's opening remarks can be said to be a failure, the expected echoing laughter did not appear, and he continued with a complexion: "Let's not talk about these, the purpose of today's meeting is to finalize the general plan for the disposal of the Wa Kingdom, and report it to the emperor for approval. , let’s talk first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Han, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Zhao Han stood up, facing Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong bowed to signal, then looked around, looked down at the book in his hand, and said: "The Ministry of Officials considers the disposal of the Wa Kingdom in this way: the Wa Kingdom has entered history since the imperial decree was issued. , to abolish the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom, the reign title, and carry out a thorough reform of the Wa Kingdom's political system, so as to integrate into our Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, and bathe in the holy virtue..."

It is undisputed that the Wa Kingdom was destroyed and merged into the Ming Dynasty. The abolition of the emperor and the year name also have the proper meaning. Zhao Han opened this article, which is not a nonsense nonsense.

Zhao Han set the tone with a lengthy speech, and then quickly got to the point, saying: "In view of the complicated situation in Japan, the imperial court cannot pursue a one-step solution. Therefore, a temporary administrative office—the Political Yuan, is specially set up. The eight ministers are jointly responsible for the government affairs of the Wa Kingdom. Set up the General Zhengyi’s Mansion, once the General enters, the six generals are responsible for the military affairs of the Wa Kingdom..."

Everyone listened silently, some people already knew, but not in such detail.

Sun Chuanting and Sun Chengzong looked at each other and picked up the tea cups almost at the same time.

These are naturally the results of their discussions, in response to the current situation of the Japanese gangsters and Zhu Xu's request.

Zhao Han glanced at the two of them, and continued: "As for the territory of Wa Kingdom, the official plan is to abolish the feudal clan and set up counties, and divide the whole country into 27 counties in Jiufu. Among them, the original Satsuma clan set up two counties to be divided into Ryukyu Province, and Ryukyu Province is divided into two counties. There are five prefectures and thirteen counties. The original Zhuqian clan set up two counties, which were divided into North Korea provinces, joined with Jeju Island and Tsushima Island, and set up one prefecture with four counties. The four counties of the prefecture, and the rest are under the control of the Government Affairs Council..."

Every county and every prefecture has so many official hats, some people can't sit still and want to speak.

Zhao Han continued: "Other related requirements will be formulated by various departments and submitted to the cabinet for review. As for a series of personnel arrangements, the Ministry of Officials has prepared a list."

After he finished speaking, Bao Li swam out, directed the clerks one by one, and distributed the list to everyone present.

Some of these people are calm as usual, some pretend to be relaxed, and some look impatient.

Almost a moment later, bursts of discussion sounded in the quiet hall, and then continued to expand.

Sun Chuanting and other cabinet ministers, the six ministers were still expressionless in writing, and sat still. This is the list they drew up, so they naturally knew it well, and they had expected such a reaction.

"Not one of them is a Ming person, right?"

"Didn't the imperial court send anyone? They are all Japanese. We have put in so much effort to take advantage of Dorgon and those Japanese?"

"No, absolutely not, definitely not like this..."
