The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Xie Qian was stunned. Did this son check the pornographic book to recommend my son?

In this way, it will be difficult for him to give advice, and the princes will hesitate because of his face.

Zhang Sheng was stunned for a moment and thought of Zhang Cai and Yan Kesong. They were both related to Yan Chengjin in the six films and took a step forward.

"Not long after Xie Pifang was promoted to Minister of Industry, he wants to be promoted to Minister without merit?"

Cleaning up the yellow books is the responsibility of officials, just like daily review of notes.

Is it possible that every time the yellow book is cleared, an edict should be issued?

Mao Ji, the Minister of Rites, nodded: "Master Yan sent the yellow book to the Ministry of Works for a share. The Ministry of Works is acting on behalf of others, and the crime should be punished according to law."

Emperor Gao once issued a decree not to overstep his authority.

The Ministry of Industry's liquidation of the Household Department was against the rules. It would be a mercy not to punish Xie Pi's crime.

The six ministers were slightly moved.

Yan Kesong could only cough dryly and pretended not to hear anything.

"I recommend Xie Pi because Mr. Qiao has doubts about the number. Mr. Zhang might as well correct it?"

The young eunuch went to the household department to get the accounts. Zhang Sheng compared the yellow books of the Hejian Mansion between the two and found that there were many differences. Xie Pi's number was larger than Qiao Yu's.

"This is?"

"Lord Qiao, I'm afraid we haven't included the number of refugees."

Qiao Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

In the past, the number of people in each prefecture, prefecture, and county was only added up to the total number of people. No one would care about the number of people living in hidden households.

"There are mistakes in the yellow book, and I can't help but blame it."

Zhu Houzhao sat on the throne, looking calm and composed: "I knew you liked to cheat the other day, and you are still not convinced."

"..." Lords.

When meeting Zhu Houzhao, even a wise minister with great merit would be singled out and stabbed. Although Li Dongyang was a little angry, he frowned slightly and stopped being angry.

Yesterday, Yan Chengjin had already read the yellow album, bowed and said:

"After the people were assigned to the fields, they no longer came to the city to do long-term labor. The number of laborers was not enough to supply the workshops. I want to distribute long-term karma to recruit people from the surrounding vassal states to work as laborers in the Ming Dynasty."

In the Yellow Book, the population numbers of various household registrations are clearly calculated.

There are fewer and fewer craftsmen households and more and more farmers. As life becomes more prosperous and the germination of capital accelerates, the shortage will only become more serious.

Introducing a large number of laborers from small countries to build bridges and roads and fill them into workshops is what he has always wanted to do.

"How many people do you want to borrow?" Wang Qiong asked.

During the Hongzhi period, more than 200,000 people were borrowed from Korea, Siam, Ryukyu and other countries to build the Grand Canal, freeing the people from corvee service.

The princes tasted the sweetness and did not object this time.

It was the same as the Jurchens taking Han people as slaves, except that the court was more lenient and paid the people of the vassal state money at normal prices.

"The more, the better." Yan Chengjin said.

The most valuable things in feudal society were not land and population.

What the Ming Dynasty lacks most now is labor force. The imperial court dispatched craftsmen and laborers to three shipyards.

Dongnuan Pavilion was delayed for more than half a year and was not repaired.

If you want to establish labor, you can't free up people, so you can only collect corvee labor from farmers. As capital gradually sprouts, a large number of laborers need to be put into the workshops.

It was wiser to transfer people from the vassal state. In the previous life, it was called OEM.

…

Seoul,

Looking out the door, Cheng Minzheng murmured in his heart that since the last time, his nephew has not written to him for nearly a year.

"If there are no more letters from the court within one month, you two will return to Beijing and prepare for the imperial examination."

Liang Xiaoyi and Liang Xiaoer looked at each other. They had long wanted to go back to the capital and bowed to Cheng Minzheng.

"Students remember their teachers' orders."

The two white-eyed wolves also asked why the teacher didn't reply. Cheng Minzheng was about to sit down angrily when he saw a letter from the butler: "Sir, from the capital."

Cheng Minzheng opened it and took a few glances. His beard trembled with excitement, and he gradually showed joy.

He immediately ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair and went to Gyeongbokgung Palace.

In the sleeping palace.

Today, the Lord of Jincheng is wearing a five-clawed purple dragon robe and a black crown. He is sitting in the center of the palace, looking a bit majestic as a king.

"It is appropriate for the Ming Dynasty to open up to the Korean people, and I also ask the monarch to make the imperial edict known to the world."

Officials of the Uijeong government usually have kind-hearted faces, but today they looked serious, because Cheng Minzheng would do nothing good when he came to meet the saint.

"The Ming Dynasty has just mobilized the army, is it going to mobilize the people again?"

The officials of Liucao were filled with indignation.

The Ming Dynasty transferred the common people and the fields were abandoned. Who else would the court tax? In recent years, thanks to Ming Dynasty's trade, North Korea has gradually prospered.

This will is like a basin of cold water.

Cheng Minzheng said: "I am just here to inform the king that I will return to the capital soon."

"My mentor is going back to Beijing?"

Cheng Minzheng was a wise minister, and he had been secretly helping him handle political affairs in recent years. The official systems and customs of North Korea and Ming Dynasty were basically the same, and he gave him many good strategies.

Now, such a wise minister is returning to the Ming Dynasty.

"I am a Han Chinese, so I naturally want to return to the imperial court. As for this decree, the monarch will decide on his own."

After more than ten years of guarding, I can finally return to Beijing.

Yan Chengjin had promised him that if he returned to the capital, he could be given an official position. I wonder if he could join the cabinet?

Lord Jincheng was somewhat sincere and stood up slightly: "My mentor, can you assist me for another ten years?"

"No, I will definitely return to Beijing this time."

Cheng Minzheng couldn't bear it, but he still felt confident and spoke out decisively.

When he first came to North Korea, the official roads in the capital were still loess roads. Now they are paved with bluestones, and the shops and pavilions on both sides are modeled after the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

It's quite a prosperous scene.

In recent years, Korea has benefited from the Ming Dynasty and has prospered. Jincheng Dajun will become a wise monarch in history.

Three days later, in front of Cheng Mansion.

Cheng Minzheng brought servants and belongings, and Jincheng Dajun gave him three carts of treasures. He got on the carriage and slowly left the capital under the protection of his disciples.

"Build a temple and sculpt the clay body of Master Cheng."

Not far away, on the bluestone road, Jincheng Dajun watched Cheng Minzheng's carriage gradually go away, and said lightly.

The officials of the State Council and the Six Departments were slightly startled and said in surprise: "Cheng Minzheng is an official of the Ming Dynasty, how can we build a temple for him?"

"Master Cheng has preached here for many years, and scholars all over the world have benefited from his grace. What's wrong with building a temple?"

At this time, the official of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward: "Master, the envoy is still alive..."

"...Then seal this place first." Jincheng Dajun.

………

In the capital, the court meeting was dispersed.

Yan Chengjin stopped his father: "Dad, I have something to discuss with you."

Yan Kesong was stunned, looked around, and saw that all the officials cast strange looks.

Since ancient times, the son's official position is higher than the father, and only this father and son are like this, right?

Hearing the sparse voices, Yan Kesong couldn't help blushing, but Chengjin asked him to discuss something, it must be a big deal, and it is a big deal in the Ministry of War.

Yan Kesong thought about it and pulled Yan Chengjin to a corner where no one was around: "You say."

Yan Chengjin pondered for a moment, and seeing that there was no one around, he said: "Soon, I will rectify the Ministry of War, and I will tell you specially."

Yan Kesong was stunned for a moment, and it was finally the turn of the Ministry of War, and he was a little at a loss.

"Dad thinks that the Ministry of War is very good, there is nothing to rectify."

Suddenly hearing his son say this, he always felt a little hairy in his heart. Once Chengjin took action, it would be a big deal. I don’t know how long he has been secretly planning, and I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.

Yan Chengjin shook his head secretly. Dad is indeed a passerby. There is still room for improvement.

"This matter is very important. Dad, come with me to the duty room."

Sorry, I was supposed to update at 2 o'clock today, but I was stuck in the writer's block. It seems that every author has a hard time finishing. I have already told the editor that it will be finished in about three or four days after the threads on hand are explained. By the way, I would like to ask for monthly tickets. Today is the last day to double. Thank you everyone~~ (I don't know if I can get 1,000 monthly tickets this month. There is a chance to draw a lottery. That's quite fun. There is also a chance to draw a splash screen recommendation and a keyboard... Last time, I was unlucky and only drew the lowest level)
