"Will people in the world be disloyal to me because of this? These greedy civil servants will really scare me!"

After learning what Zhang Heming and others said when they were executed, Zhu Youxiao sneered and looked at Wei Zhongxian, Xu Guangqi and others and said, "If I really have a separation from the world, I will not succeed in confiscating the Shanxi merchants this time! And if Qin, Qi and others can resist millions of benefits and be loyal to the king's affairs, it can be seen that I have not lost the hearts of the world. They are the ones who have lost the hearts of the world. From the rotten vegetables, leaves and mud thrown by the people, you can know who the people are looking for."

"Your Majesty said very much. The current disadvantage of the world is that the etiquette and law are not strict, and the rules and regulations are not prosperous. Even the people in the forest are mostly greedy for profit and despicable. Zhang, Wang and others are severely punished and can promote the turbidity!

However, the powerful and noble gentry have been arrogant for a long time, and they control local manpower and food, and connect with each other to form a power through relationships such as marriage and disciples. They are in harmony with each other. They can be said to be intricate, prospering and losing both. Now that His Majesty has copied Shanxi merchants and punished corrupt officials, I am afraid that they have really caused their dissatisfaction!

Therefore, I believe that although what Zhang Heming and others said is not completely reasonable, it does imply threatening. The court should beware of it and beware of the opportunity that these powerful and dissatisfied with the court will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble!"

Xu Guangqi started talking and also reminded Zhu Youxiaolai.

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "What I love said is very good and evil are incompatible. Those who are not loyal to me and only care about their own interests will definitely not be suppressed by me like this.

However, although they have power, I also have power. My power is the most scholars and people in the world who only want to live a peaceful life, and they are loyal and kind people who know the righteousness!"

Zhu Youxiao said, "I am now showing the power of the monarch and strictly enforced the rule, and I am only obeying the world and rejecting the public. Naturally, what I dissatisfied with is the Jiangnan scholars and officials who occupy the most wealth in the world. Therefore, sooner or later, I will go to Jiangnan! Otherwise, the scholars and people in Jiangnan would really not know that they have a monarch and really think that the world is gentry!"

Xu Guangqi bowed and said yes.

Now, in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the Jiangnan region, the scholars and officials became free and dispersed, and the rituals and music were broken, and their behavior was not carefully considered, and the court system was not taken seriously;

The mildest ones are just about clothes, traveling and even living without etiquette. For example, merchants wear brocade, gentry uses golden nanmu, or even men dress up as women, apply makeup and powder, and swagger through the market;

In the most serious cases, they are interested in talking about current problems and are fighting against the government office. They often write posts, that is, they make anonymous reports to manipulate public opinion.

In the view of Xu Guangqi, who is indifferent to the principles of the work and practice, this requires the monarch to implement strict government, rectify the rank of etiquette and law, increase the control of the court to promote production, and suppress the unscrupulous annexation of the powerful, rather than being as disorderly as it is now, so that the rich become richer and the poor become poorer. The government cannot restrain the wealthy family, but becomes the lackeys of the wealthy family, making the order more and more chaotic.

However, although Zhu Youxiao decided to go to Jiangnan to strengthen his emperor's control over Jiangnan in the future, he also knew that if he did not bring enough troops, it would be difficult for most of the gentry in Jiangnan who were in harmony.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao believed that it was necessary to step up training and expand the number of soldiers and horses he could directly control, so that he could control Jiangnan while ensuring that the nine sides were not in chaos. After all, although there were many military households in the Ming Dynasty, most of them were farmers who only knew how to farm, and there were very few elite soldiers who were truly directly under the imperial court.

"This time the confiscation of the Shanxi merchants proves that many Ming generals such as Qin Liangyu and Qi Jin are still loyal and can be used. Therefore, I have to continue practicing the new army based on them. The first class of the martial arts lecture hall is almost graduated, and the recruitment work must begin. This is the responsibility of your Ministry of War and the Imperial Horse Supervisor. The new army is called Yulin Guard. Anyone who successfully becomes a guard officer and soldier will be given the status of Yulin Guard. As for the internal level, it can range from Yulin Guard soldiers to the governor. Like the Jinyiwei, it belongs to my personal army. It is just that the Yulin Guard specializes in conquering and opening up the territory for me!"

"Yes! I ask your Majesty, where are the soldiers recruited? Are they refugees living in huts outside the city or local residents?"

Xu Guangqi asked.

"Of course, it is the local people with households, especially in the early days of the new army. The officers and soldiers must have their family backgrounds clear and cannot get involved in people with ulterior motives. Not only should they be local people with households, but they should only recruit good children from the imperial village, so that I can control them. In addition, to adopt the opinions of generals from the Qi family, such as Luo Shangzhi and Qi Jin, the new soldiers should choose the kind of honest and obedient ones."

Zhu Youxiao started talking.

"I obey the order!"

Xu Guangqi replied.

Then, Zhu Youxiao looked at Liu Ruoyu and ordered: "You are also in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. After the people of the Imperial Village join the army, you will be responsible for their own treatment and family treatment. I will pass on my order. Anyone who formally joins the army in the Imperial Village will give him a monthly salary of one tael and a 50% reduction in the tenant rent. After setting up the Imperial Village, you can send one child to the Imperial Village for free to study, and a monthly subsidy of one silver. In the future, the Imperial Village will set up a Imperial Village to increase the literacy rate within the Imperial Village, so that he can understand the meaning of loyalty and filial piety."

After Zhu Youxiao said this, Liu Ruoyu took the initiative to ask: "If the emperor reduces the tenant rent by 50%, the tenant rent income of the imperial village tenant will be greatly reduced, which is almost not very different from not paying. Moreover, the income of the imperial village is no longer the main source of income for the treasury, and it is even dispensable. Therefore, in the opinion of a servant, why don't the emperor directly exempt the tenant rent from the imperial village tenant rent, so that he will be more grateful to the emperor's kindness?"

"Although the income from the tenant rent of the imperial village is not the main income of the treasury, it cannot be exempted from rent just because it is too small. First, the people cannot lose their awareness of paying food, second, you cannot let the people in the royal village lose their input, third, these tenant rents must be used for public affairs such as dredging canals, digging wells and dams."

Zhu Youxiao rejected Liu Ruoyu's proposal and asked Liu Ruoyu again: "Where is the nearest Gyeonggi royal village?"

"Go back to the emperor, the nearest one is the Western Suburbs Imperial Village."

Liu Ruoyu replied.

"Let's go to the western suburbs to have a look tomorrow."

Zhu Youxiao said something.

The next day, Zhu Youxiao accompanied Xu Guangqi and other officials from the martial arts hall, accompanied by a group of eunuchs and Jinyiwei in the inner court, to the imperial village in the western suburbs.

As soon as he arrived at the imperial village in the western suburbs, Zhu Youxiao saw that the entire imperial village was connected by thatched huts, hidden among the beautiful trees, and the vast fertile fields were densely spread around the huts, and there were some mountains in the distance, but they were not used. After all, there was no large-scale promotion of sweet potatoes and corn in this era.

The tenants in the imperial village were all kneeling on both sides of the road, not daring to look up, and were blocked from the spear by soldiers who had long come to maintain order.

Zhu Youxiao took a look at these tenants. It was better than the photos of the late Qing people he saw on the Internet in his previous life. He was much stronger and taller, and his expression was not so numb. His simplicity revealed his curiosity about the emperor. Although his clothes were also coarse cloth short clothes, they were neat and clean.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao didn't know if the eunuch who managed the Royal Horse Prison was preparing in advance, so he asked these people to sort out their images in advance, so he didn't look like a beggar, but his clear and bright eyes could not be faked.
