I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"The people in the tribe are all renounced, and they don't want to collude with the Chahar tribe anymore."

"My lord, please report this intention to His Majesty the Emperor after returning to Beijing, and say that Kundu is willing to lead the Aohan tribe to surrender to Ming Dynasty, and I am sincerely convinced."

"If not, my entire tribe will be doomed!"

Chapter 561 National Welfare Measures

"Is it that serious?" Out of comfort, Wang Huan said with a smile.

In fact, he didn't know that after returning from the defeat, there seemed to be harmony between Chahar and the various ministries in Monan, but in fact there was an undercurrent surging in private.

For Kundu, the situation is really so serious.

"Your Excellency doesn't know that Lin Dan Batur will take revenge, and the tribe who worked for him has never had a good end."

As he spoke, he sighed:

"First it was Situmot, and now it is Naiman. This time, it seems that the attack on the left wing is just that he wants to annex the left wing."

"Using the words of you insiders, we are just a pawn for him to strengthen Chahar."

Hearing this, Wang Huan finally understood.

He sat up straight, thought for a while and said, "It seems that the Aohan tribe will indeed be the next target to be annexed..."

Kundu nodded repeatedly.

"My lord, please report the truth to His Majesty the Emperor when you return to Daming. I, Aohan and other tribes are all sincerely submitting, and I don't want to sacrifice my life for the Chahar people anymore!"

Seeing that he was about to kneel down again, Wang Huan quickly got up to support him, and said with a smile, "This is what it should be, but I can't interfere too much, I can only promise you that I will bring this to you."

"As for the decisions of the ministers, elders, and Your Majesty, it is no longer in my control."

Kundu was determined, and quickly said: "This is enough, this is enough!"

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has a kind heart, and he will definitely not sit back and watch my tribes be annexed by Chahar!"

Wang Huan returned his salute and said:

"I hope so."

The next day, a group of envoys returned from Chahanhaote to the south. After several days of bumpy rides, they finally returned to the prosperous capital of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as he arrived in Beijing, Wang Huan went straight to the residence of Wei Guangwei, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

……

Zhu Youxiao was lying on the couch in the inner hall of Qianqing Palace, although he was holding a book in his hand, his thoughts had already drifted to the sky.

Now he has a habit. Whenever he thinks about something, he will play tricks and read it with a book.

Let others see it, and it can also show that their emperor is hardworking and studious.

The war was launched on the west wing. Although there was no war in Liaodong, some changes did occur.

According to Xiong Tingbi's residence newspaper, when Huang Taiji was dealing with many issues at the beginning of his succession, he had already begun to conduct diplomacy with the various ministries of Mongolia in the east, and even North Korea.

"Such a policy is much smarter than his father..." Muttering, Zhu Youxiao threw away the book, came to the edge of the window, and stood with his hands behind his back.

Huang Taiji had just succeeded to the throne not long ago, and his position was not very stable.

After forcing the highly prestigious Abahai to death, Huang Taiji was not very tough on the inside at first. Instead, he was decentralizing power, creating a situation where the four major baylors jointly governed.

Daishan, Amin, and Manggurtai, who was seriously injured in the last war and has been bedridden, have all received bonuses, so how could they not agree.

In fact, the remaining three ruling Baylor divided the Eight Banners nobles' attention on Huang Taiji, which made his position more stable.

Zhu Youxiao received the news that the four surviving ministries of the five major ministries of Neikalkha had all defected to Jin during the war.

Of the five major ministries in Nekhka, one was originally inclined to the Ming Dynasty, but at that time Zhu Youxiao really had no time to look around, so that the ministries were suppressed by Nurhachi.

It must also be said that the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners cavalry led by Lao Nu is indeed not weak. To wipe out a large part of 10,000+ people is as simple as Zhu Youxiao going out to hunt.

Originally, the remaining four ministries of Neikalkha were a little afraid of Hou Jin, but they couldn't stand the comfort and assurance of Horqin and Huang Taiji in turn.

Just at the end of last month, the four major tribes of Horqin, Dongtumed, and Neikalka, and more than [-] tribes on the eastern wing sent envoys to Hetuala, claiming to respect the Jin Dahan Emperor Taiji as the co-lord. .

Surprisingly, just like Zhu Youxiao had previously rejected the Tian Khan who was honored by the left-wing Mongolian ministries, Huang Taiji did not accept the title of co-lord.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know the specifics, only that the little Tartar surnamed Huang gave a guarantee to the lords of the various ministries in Hetuala, calling it an alliance.

All in all, it is an indisputable fact that the East Wing has fallen to Houjin, whether it is a vassal or an alliance.

But Zhu Youxiao is not afraid at all, even his father is defeated by my subordinates, so what is a yellow-haired kid?

Zhu Youxiao's confidence was all due to Daming's staged victory in the West Wing. The five-year plan at the beginning of his succession had become a reality by the end of the fourth year of Tianqi.

Not only the victory of the war, but also the foreign policy that lasted for nearly five years, also began to bear fruit at the end of this year.

The victory of the war made more than [-] left-wing ministries submit to the court, and the success of foreign policy is also inseparable from Lin Dan Khan's unique character that makes people respect him.

Its behavior of annexing Xitumet first and then annexing the Naiman tribe not only caused the Khan power to plummet in Mongolia, but also made the Chahar tribe a target of public criticism.

During the recent period, people in Monan were panicked, and they didn't know whether they should continue to follow Lin Danhan or not.

If you win, you have nothing to do with it, but if you lose, you will be annexed.

Who can stand backstabbing like this all the time?

According to Zhu Youxiao's thinking, that is, around the time of the Chinese New Year, some tribes in Monan Mongolia will definitely start to surrender, and they are already planning to assign territories to the various ministries.

There is also the establishment of a domestic department to manage disaster relief matters, which has also been initially implemented at the local level.

At present, most areas including Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, and Shaanxi provinces have begun vigorous construction operations.

Specifically, it includes the renovation of local welfare facilities such as Huimin Pharmacy and Nursing Home, and the purchase of fields and houses from local tyrants with government funds to convert them into shelters.

Huimin Pharmacy, to put it bluntly, is a large local pharmacy that distributes medicines to the common people for free.

As long as the doctors at Huimin Pharmacy find out that you really have the disease, the medicine will be free, and you can come to pick it up on a regular basis.

It's just that after so many years, Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau has long been useless.

Not only are they just dawdling around all day long, quack doctors who have no medical spirit, even the free medicine allocated by the imperial court to the local government has been stopped for an unknown number of years.

Refurbishment is still one of them. If you want to fundamentally change the Huimin Pharmacy and make it continue to be a local welfare institution, you have to reorganize the Tai Hospital in addition to spending money cruelly.

Because the doctors of Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau all come from here.

As for the Nursing Home, it is also one of Daming's inherent welfare facilities. To put it bluntly, it is a free nursing home.

Elderly people who cannot afford to be supported at home, or who are homeless, will be taken in by the government in nursing homes, and they will be responsible for their basic necessities for the rest of their lives.

Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau, Nursing Home...these welfare institutions are all invented by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao didn't know about it, but now if someone says that the Ming Dynasty was the dynasty with the most appropriate welfare measures for ordinary people, it is absolutely true.

Like the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau, the Nursing Home has not been expanded or renovated for so many years, with the collapse of the imperial court's finances.

Nursing homes in some places have continued to accommodate people, but the housing provided is already very crowded, and the food is not satisfactory, and it is intermittent.

This is already the government's best effort. After all, the imperial court has not managed these welfare institutions for a long time.

Zhu Youxiao knew that there would be natural and man-made disasters in the near future, and the first task must be to ensure that the people can survive.

The people's request is actually very simple. As long as they can live on, there will not be many people who leave their homes, become refugees, and then split into thieves.

To put it further down, as long as they can survive, there will not be many people who will rob big households and official food, take risks, and then embark on the road of rebellion.

From this point of view, it is essential to allow these welfare institutions to function again.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao discovered long ago that the people's livelihood and welfare facilities in the Ming Dynasty were very complete, and there was no need to make any reforms by himself.

What needs to be done now is to renovate the national welfare facilities since the early Ming Dynasty.

Of course, changes are necessary.

That is to set up a Yousi headed directly by Beijing as a coordinating department integrating local welfare and temporary disaster relief.

The earthquake in three provinces two years ago told Zhu Youxiao that such a well-established disaster relief organization can really play a key role in disasters.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also has such considerations.

This batch of newly-built welfare departments will expand grassroots functional institutions such as shelters. At that time, a large number of ordinary people can be recruited to alleviate the problem of excessive unemployment and promote healthy economic development.

In this way, as long as there are no major financial problems in the imperial court, the problem of local collapse will not happen again, and a virtuous circle will be formed.

The corner of Zhu Youxiao's mouth curled up, as long as the internal collapse does not happen, Jiannu wants to enter the customs, it will be in his next life.

Chapter 562 You Are Really Happy When You Are Happy

"Your Majesty, the elder, please see me."

Just as he was thinking, Wang Chaofu quietly came behind him, bowed and said.

Zhu Youxiao was a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything. He turned around and returned to the throne, and raised his hand to signal that he could come in.

Shaoqing, Wei Guangwei walked in, saluted and said:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty."

"Wang Huan, deputy envoy of the Ministry of Industry who was sent to Chahanhot, has returned. It went smoothly. Lin Danhan agreed to our request."

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, a little unbelievable.

"What, he actually agreed to everything?"

"There's no haggling or anything?"

Wei Guang shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this old minister only knows so much. As for the details, let Wang Huan report to heaven?"

Zhu Youxiao knew what he was thinking, so he didn't point it out, and said:

"In that case, let Wang Huan come in!"

After a few breaths, a middle-aged official walked cautiously into the Qianqing Palace, saw Emperor Tianqi lying on the couch, bowed his head and bowed:

"Wang Huan, deputy envoy of the Charcoal Department of the Ministry of Industry, see Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao snorted and raised his hand to signal him to get up.

"Aiqing is on an envoy to Monan, and she has worked hard and made great achievements. Come and tell me, how did you persuade Lin Danhan to agree?"

Wang Huan was full of embarrassment, "I'm ashamed to say that at first, I also wanted to die, but I didn't lobby much, and the Chahar Ministry agreed."

"It's that simple?" Wei Guangwei couldn't believe it.

Although it is said that Daming won the battle of Hetao, the opponent is Lin Danhan after all, and this kind of provocation is tantamount to courting death.

Before Wang Huan went out, he even said goodbye to his family one by one.

No one expected that Lindan Batur didn't make any bargains at all, and Wang Huan's business was unexpectedly safe and sound.

"This is strange..." Zhu Youxiao muttered, then turned his head and said:

"Wang Huan, you have made great achievements by leaving the customs. What kind of reward do you want, but it doesn't matter, I will agree to it!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Wang Huan suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed like garlic.

"Being able to serve His Majesty and serve the court, I will die without complaint, and I dare not ask for rewards! It is true that Your Majesty is benevolent. I only want a roof tile to live in, and it is enough to settle down with my family."

"This is not acceptable. You are a person of great merit. If your Majesty is stingy in rewarding you, won't the world's talented and learned people say that I don't value talents in Ming Dynasty?" Wei Guangwei said aside.

"Elder Ge is right." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said to him:

"The inside of Zhengyang Gate is a prosperous place, so I will reward you with a three-entry house inside Zhengyang Gate, and take your family to take good care of them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Huan shouted hastily.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. You have made great contributions to the community when you are an envoy this time. I will promote you to be the Tuntian Division Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry. You will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver and awarded the fifth rank."

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he looked at Wang Huan who was kneeling on the ground again, and said with a smile:

"Go back and settle down with your family, I still have something to do."

Wang Huan did not leave for a long time, Wei Guangwei kept winking, and after a while, he hesitated and said:

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Zhu Youxiao looked down at the book for a while, and seemed to realize that he hadn't left yet. He raised his head and said, "If there's anything else, let's talk about it together."

Wang Huan is still not sure about the authenticity of this matter. After all, he was just a petty official before he went out, and he didn't pay much attention to these matters. He didn't know whether Kundu really wanted to surrender.

When he spoke, his expression was a little apprehensive:
