Chapter 172 Let them all watch (2)
This is why we are not willing to hit this one today and that one tomorrow!
We have fought for a lifetime and we will understand one truth: war will kill people!
One family after another, if a man dies, he will die. If a good family is good, he will have no good life.
When I left the palace and traveled around, the old man smiled happily. But after eating at the meat stall, on the way back to the palace, the old man began to teach me.
Look at that little widow! The old man is still sitting in the bamboo sedan chair and said, "What a great daughter, ah, she is just as old as a flower. But for the rest of her life, she has to stay alone in the empty room and support a home by herself. How difficult it is!
Such a thing is not an isolated case. Not even any woman has the ability of that girl, and she shows up in public to do business. The court seems to have given some pensions, but the living people who make money may be gone, so I will use it for more care!
In the future, you must be cautious when fighting. If you don’t have to bear it, you must fight. You must be cautious and don’t use any weapons. But if you really want to fight, you either don’t fight, and you can defeat him! When the founding of the country, it was so poor that it was loud and the ministers advised us not to go on an expedition, but we still let hundreds of thousands of people go to fight. Why?
There is nothing we can do. The robber is at the door and will not fire him. He is thinking about getting into your house to harm you! But now it is different. The robbers are far away now, and the days of the Ming Dynasty are getting better, and the prestige of the country has also come. Prestige is made, and after it is made, the thief is afraid. Don’t use the knife if you can solve the problem when you speak!
Now, we can still talk to you while we are alive. If we close our eyes and kick our legs, we won’t be able to care about so much of you!
Along the way, the old man was chatting. Zhu Yunxiu followed the sedan chair and listened silently.
I have to say that the old man made some sense. Since the early years of the country's dynasty, he launched many expeditions to the Beiyuan, and won several great victories. Until now, the King of the Border Pass has hunted in the northern desert of the border every year, shocking the grassland tribes.
After a series of wars, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty had been established, and it was difficult for the generation of Mobei to find a large-scale Northern Yuan army. The elites of the remaining grasslands are now carefully licking their wounds in Mobei. Moreover, due to the several attacks of the Ming Dynasty, the prestige of the Kublai Khan family was lost, and the Northern Yuan had been divided into three tribes: Tatars, Oirats and Urianha.
These tribes also fought openly and secretly, and could no longer work together to become enemies with the Ming Dynasty. Some of them were even closer to the Ming Dynasty.
In general, it will be difficult for the northern border of the border to appear again in the next ten years. The Hongwu Dynasty, which often fights more than 100,000 troops fighting each other, is at most, small groups of Hu people nuisance the border.
The old man’s words meant that he could not fight or fight. Instead, he said that the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty at present was not war, but to take advantage of the peaceful years that the founding generation had fought, and to rest and develop people’s livelihood.
It must be admitted that the old man's words make some sense. People who fight will die, so they must be moderate.
But Zhu Yunxiu had his own considerations in his heart. If the Ming Dynasty stopped expanding and had military victory, it would be easy to go through the old paths of all dynasties.
History is a clear proof that in time and space, after Jianwen came to power, he believed that the border was not very threatening, so he carried out civil governance. He also caught up with the Jingnan period and the civil storm in the Ming Dynasty for several years, causing the grassland tribes that had recovered a little vitality to reveal their fangs.
That's why Zhu Di's several expeditions were fought. Zhu Di fought for decades of peace, and then met his grandson who was a prodigal family. As a result, in the years that followed, the Ming Dynasty had to adopt a passive defensive strategy, let alone expanding to the outside world.
The old man mentioned is actually really hard to measure! What he saw was the consumption of war on the country, the livelihood of the people, and even the family. The degree he mentioned is applicable to the current moment when the Ming army was in full swing.
But what Zhu Yunxiu saw was the future.
The Ming Dynasty needed a military whetstone, constantly rubbing the sharp blade of the Ming Dynasty. Once the military desire was relaxed, it would definitely be that swords and guns were entered into the warehouse and horses were put into the south mountain. In the end, the military preparations were relaxed.
Of course, behind the country's enterprising spirit, there must be people bleeding! This is exactly what it means to cause people to suffer.
Returning to the palace from outside the palace, Zhu Yunyu first sent the old man back to the bedroom.
The old man is now recuperating and almost only cares about state affairs. He stays in the bedroom every day and enjoys the joy of having fun with his grandchildren.
Liujin and Xiao Fu'er had already started walking, shaking their calves, trembling and shaking, and occasionally bursting out a few words that made people laugh out loud.
With these two children here, the old man was not interested in other things. In the bedroom, his hearty laughter was heard every day.
The heavy state affairs were all pressing on Zhu Yunyu's shoulders.
As soon as he returned to the Eastern Palace, the Hanlin attendant Xie Jin held a pile of memorials and piled them up on the imperial case. Zhu Yunyu's imperial case is now considered real and veritable imperial case. There are two red paint boxes on the case. On one side is the tiger talisman representing the highest command of the Ming army, and on the other side is the jade seal representing the emperor's supreme authority.
He has no title of emperor yet, but he has the power of emperor.
Now his study room is the center of the power of the Ming Dynasty. In the inner hall, he was alone in reviewing memorials, while in the outer hall, there were several major ministers in government affairs, and more than ten Hanlin lecturers who served as secretary.
Zhu Yunxi sat down and opened a memorial, the memorial of Zhongdu, Fengyang.
Since last year, I collected the land of the nobles and sent the imperial village to the people to farm, the number of registered residents in Fengyang has suddenly increased by 30%. These 30% are the people who were hidden before. After the land was divided, the number of people was abolished, and the number of people was re-established, and the number of people was re-established.
Last year, the Central Plains floods were not affected, and the farmland harvest was good. Without taxes, farmers' lives were getting better and their enthusiasm this year was getting higher. At this time, it was spring plowing, and Zhongdu's plowing oxen and farm tools became more and more strange.
The Zhongdu asked for an order to give more iron and agricultural tools, and the court arranged plowing oxen. In addition, the Ministry of Revenue was asked to allocate a sum of silver to repair the canal and improve water conservancy.
But! Zhu Yunxiu raised a red pen at the end of the memorial and wrote that all industries and farmers are the best, and the people in the world are the first. Fengyang Zhongdu, the dives that are divided into acres is the first in the world. You and other officials should not do their best to take the new policy as the basis and should not slackew!
A few numbers are available in one stroke. Now, he is already familiar with how to deal with state affairs and how to give directions to his ministers.
The trial was first conducted in Fengyang because the land of nobles and royal villages were used. The local gentry and wealthy households had little resistance, so they could see results in a short period of time. But if it was promoted nationwide, not to mention other places, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area would inevitably be full of complaints!
Thinking in his mind, Zhu Yunyu put down his pen and searched through the memorial.
Is the memorial from Henan coming? He asked, last year, the Central Plains suffered a disaster, and Zhu Yunxiu exempted taxes from the disaster area. At the same time, he ordered the Henan Provincial Administration Office to secretly change the concept and quietly implement the taxes to the acres.
Now that the flood has passed, governments in various places are organizing spring plowing, and I don’t know what the situation is there!
Today, I didn’t see the Henan memorial! Xie Jin replied at the entrance of the study, and at that time, the King of Zhou submitted a greeting and counted from top to bottom on the left and right sides of His Highness, the fifteenth one!
I got it! Zhu Yunxiu said in a muffled voice.
He didn't have to read the memorials of King Zhou. He knew what he wrote. It was nothing more than just being far away and thinking about Tianyan's concern for such a kind of intimate way. Not only King Zhou, but after King Ning's death, the vassal kings in various places almost had one discount every month, and they all pretended to be good sons and good vassal kings.
King Ning, King Gu, King Dai and other kings of Sai were punished to reduce their guards and issued an order to scold them. The local governors were not in good condition and were punished. The merchants, officials, and those under their command who made money were killed and exiled. The lightest ones were all left on their behalf for crimes, so now these vassal kings have learned their lessons.
Now, these people are all making a living with their tails and are becoming more and more respectful to Zhu Yunxi. Not only do they have memorials, but they also donated some treasures and women during the Spring Festival.
However, this incident attracted the old man's order and he was scolded.
If you don’t learn well, you will lose your ambitions. Do you still have to lead our grandson now?
When Zhu Yunxiu thought of the old man's vernacular imperial edict, he wanted to laugh.
He took out two more memorials and smiled even more.
The Honglu Temple reported that the King of Ryukyu was arrested and wanted to send his nephew Wuzong to personally bring envoys to the Heavenly Kingdom to pay tribute!
However, Zhu Yunxi's eyes fell on the next book.
Chapter completed!
