Chapter 724: Moving the feudal vassal (2)

The difficulties faced by the Ming Dynasty in promoting overseas emigration include the persistence of policies, the resistance of groups, the complexity of interests, and the diversity of situations...

If the above-mentioned problems cannot be properly resolved, then promoting overseas migration would be delusional, and even pushing it forcibly would cause certain chaos to the Ming Dynasty.

If it can be effectively promoted, there will be many benefits. It can effectively slow down land annexation, promote the development of the navigation industry, build overseas barriers, guide the pace of industrial construction in the field, change the old idea of ​​seclusion, and gradually prepare for the establishment of a Han cultural circle...

After careful consideration, Emperor Chongzhen came up with a feasible plan.

"Your Majesty, after investigation, there are a total of 218 counties and princes inherited from the northern provinces."

Luo Yangxing calmed down, bowed his hands and said: "In addition, there are 37 vacant princes and princes for those who have kept filial piety and have not been granted the title. After Jin Yiwei's secret investigation, it was found that only the princes and princes in the northern provinces actually controlled the land in their names.

There are more than 10 million acres of fertile land, which is basically the same as the land actually controlled by the princes’ mansions in various places..."

Listening to Luo Yangxing's report, Emperor Chongzhen's expression became more solemn. The vassal system established in the early Ming Dynasty was no longer an effective mechanism to defend the Ming Dynasty. As time went by, it gradually evolved into a system that eroded the vitality of the Ming Dynasty.

Bad government.

The enfeoffment system and the county system have always been controversial national policies in the past long years, and to a large extent, they will affect the direction of a dynasty.

Which is good and which is bad.

Very realistic.

What the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Lifan Yuan need to do is to correctly convey the concept that the mainland of the country will no longer confer princes and titles. Princes and titles do not involve the transfer of vassals. County, princes and titles voluntarily move out of the vassal, and those with outstanding performance can be promoted to titles.

Those who move overseas are not subject to the restrictions of the established patriarchal clan of the country and have absolute power in the territory of the vassal..."

Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to comment.

Relocating a feudal clan overseas is a big project. If it is to be started step by step, overall planning must be done to ensure that things are under control.

I don't know how long it took.

"I obey your orders."

In a word, whoever dares to leak these things and disrupt the stability of the country and the country will be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, and I will never forgive him lightly!!"

As far as the territory of the Nanyang countries was concerned, it was more than enough to include all the vassal groups of the Ming Dynasty.

"Well, the memorials related to the above will be submitted to the imperial court as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, please make a feasible guideline as soon as possible based on the outlines I proposed and submit it to the Emperor. I will review it in detail when I arrive.

This is a big game played by Emperor Chongzhen.

In a feudal autocratic environment, from the emperor's point of view, the reliability of one's own family members is much more reliable than that of people with other surnames. However, correspondingly speaking, reliability is still reliable, but necessary precautions are still required.

.

When the territories and sea areas of the Nanyang countries can truly be under the control of the central government, and there are no vassal groups under its rule, then the overseas transfer of vassals planned by Emperor Chongzhen will finally bear fruit.

Until the ministers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Lifan Yuan were called into the palace.

Emperor Chongzhen gathered his thoughts, looked at Luo Yangxing who had finished his report, and said: "The Jinyiwei did a good job. In the next period of time, the Jinyiwei will gradually control all the information about the existing sects and vassals in the Jiangnan provinces and the southwestern provinces.

What I want is the truth, don’t let it be adulterated by me.”

Luo Yangxing hurriedly bowed and responded.

On some matters, Emperor Chongzhen was able to discuss with Yousi in a consultative manner, but on some matters, Emperor Chongzhen's attitude was very tough.

When Zhu Yujian initially moved to Jeju Island, it seemed that he did not cause a sensation among the government and the public, but in fact it had a lot of impact, especially on the vassal groups of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone was concerned about it.

Governing a huge dynasty is not an easy task in itself. There is no absolute good or bad in any decision-making issue.

This is a big game!

"I have listed in detail what the Ministry of Internal Affairs has to do and what the Lifan Yuan has to do." Looking at the ministers with different expressions, Emperor Chongzhen said seriously.

Very contradictory.

This is going to change.

There were too many things involved during this period. In order to avoid uncontrollable events, Emperor Chongzhen decided to take charge of the matter himself.

"My lords, after reading these memorials, what do you think?"

"I obey the decree."

One opens the sea.

Huang Daozhou, Qian Sule, Zhang Zhiji, Zhu Chunchen and other ministers were all shocked when they heard what the emperor said.

The process of overseas migration may last fifty years, it may last a hundred years, or even longer.

Emperor Chongzhen knew very well what these people thought, so he wanted to instill the ideological trend of "political deception" and "political confusion". In the process of gradually promoting overseas migration, he would appease these vassal groups and ensure that there would be no chaos in the Ming Dynasty.

.

Progressive transfer of feudal vassals.

Everyone immediately bowed.

In view of the current situation, I have decided to select a group of princes and princes and move the feudal vassal to the Big and Small Ryukyus. The scale is tentatively set at 20, with the Big Ryukyus as the main one and the Little Ryukyus as the supplement.

The matter of moving the feudal vassal has reached a point where it cannot be moved.

Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair, looked around at the ministers gathered in the palace, and said loudly: "I find it shocking. No wonder the taxation of the dynasty has always been at such a level. It turns out that a lot of land has become non-taxable.

nature.

At the same time, these groups of people who moved to the vassal state will gradually be burdened with corresponding debts in the process of moving to the vassal state, which will then force them to expand externally, thus driving the areas where they moved to the vassal state and the Ming Dynasty itself to get corresponding benefits.

develop.

For the first few batches of people who moved to the vassal state, Emperor Chongzhen would choose the territory close to the Ming Dynasty to ensure that these batches of counties, princes and nobles would get the corresponding bonus of moving to the vassal state outside the Ming Dynasty, and then stimulate them to not move to the vassal state.

group, forming a long-term cycle effect.

Suppress the stubble and move the feudal vassal.

Compared with moving overseas, in fact, for the vast majority of vassal groups, they just want to stay in their homeland. After all, compared with the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, overseas is a barren land.

What's more, in addition to the Southeast Asian countries, there are also Tianzhu, grassland and other places, waiting for Emperor Chongzhen's control.

After summoning Luo Yangxing and understanding the basic situation, Emperor Chongzhen kept thinking about this issue for the next few days.

One moved to feudal vassal.

There is no room for excuses.

If these two things can be implemented alternately and truly take root, then the Ming Dynasty's reform will be more than half successful.

After all, in this process, the primitive accumulation of the Ming Dynasty will also be gradually consolidated, which can effectively promote the industrialization process of the Ming Dynasty. This is what Emperor Chongzhen wants!!!
