Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 171
Zhu Xiongying has a headache about civil affairs, but many things can be regarded as under control.Big fish are not caught, but small fish and shrimp are also acceptable. Zhu Xiongying is not picky about food.

Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu still have a tacit understanding. This time, the attack on the civil servant group can be regarded as preparation for the next move of the capital.It is also the plan of Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu to be an official in a different place, support the North, and hold two rankings in the North and South. They are not just for the sake of disgusting the civil servants.

In Zhu Xiongying's plan, even in the future, these imperial examinations will no longer serve scholars who have read sage books. At that time, some other people may enter the imperial court through the "imperial examination".

This can be regarded as a long-term plan. Now that Zhu Xiongying is digging a hole, he is naturally waiting for some civil servants to jump in.In other words, such actions are Zhu Xiongying's plans, some long-term plans, and he does not plan to accomplish them overnight.

It can't be regarded as Zhu Xiongying's scheming, it means that he knows that the power of Confucian children is too great now, and many things have to be done slowly.

Muchun, Hou Muchun of Xiping, sent a military report, and the rebellion of Azi, the Wei Tumu of Yuezhou, was quelled. Mu Chun will kill Azi and 240 of his followers in one fell swoop.At this time, Mu Chun did not return to the imperial court, and continued to cooperate with Lan Yu's army.

Nong Zhenyou, chieftain of Guangnan, united the party and barbarians to resist the Ming army. Mu Chun led his troops to attack and captured Nong Zhenyou and others alive, killing thousands of prisoners.The chieftain of Ningyuan Dao worshiped Annan and did not obey the orders of the court.Naturally, the imperial army at this time would not be polite, and continued to drive the rebels straight into the land of Annan.

Chen Yong, the lord of Annan, was a little flustered, and of course there were some who were confident.Among the countries around the Ming Dynasty, Annan was the most disobedient one. The imperial army rushed to Annan in a mighty way, not only to seek rebellion, but also to deter the restless Fanguo.

There is no way to swallow Annan now, but it is slowly eating away, and the army can be trained all over the border.We must pay attention to such things as acclimatization, and non-combat attrition can naturally reduce it.

For sending troops to Annan, Zhu Xiongying is determined to win, and he also has a lot of ideas.

Although Annan is relatively wild today, he is not completely savage and uncivilized.After winning some places here, Zhu Xiongying not only settled some of his imperial uncles.

The most important thing is that Annan is located at the junction of the Chinese mainland and the Indochina Peninsula, which can be used as a springboard for the Ming Dynasty to explore the Western Ocean. The geographical location is extremely important.As long as it wins here, Ming can control the Indochina Peninsula more easily.

It can control the countries of Champa, Siam, and Chenla in the near, and it can control the countries of Sumatra, Old Port, Java, Niedi and other countries near Manchuria and the peninsula.This is also to realize the military presence of the Ming Dynasty in the Indochina Peninsula, and for Zhu Xiongying's "going south policy".

Today's navy of Ming Dynasty should be far stronger than the navy of the same period in history. After all, Zhu Xiongying has been building a navy all these years.After tasting the benefits brought by Nanyang and Dongying, Lao Zhu really paid more attention to the navy, and the strength of Daming's navy is still quite terrifying.

Not to mention sailing around the world at this time, if there is a eunuch who wants to go to Nanyang, Zhu Xiongying can easily gather a powerful navy.

Zhu Xiongying is still a little complacent. Zhu Xiongying thinks that he has made a lot of contributions to some of Daming's changes and some of Daming's current achievements, and he is indeed entitled to feel proud and happy.For Daming's future, of course, he has more confidence.

Zhu Xiongying, who came to play the newspaper, rushed to the Qianqing Palace, and his brother-in-law had to show off his achievements. "Grandfather, the Marquis of Xiping sent the military newspaper."

Old Zhu raised his head slightly, and then said, "I guess I won, you just have to deal with it."

Lao Zhu has the right to be so calm. Some small turmoil in Yunnan seems to be nothing to Lao Zhu.That is to say, some savages and savages have rebelled against themselves, so there is no need to pay attention to them at all.

"Xiping Hou Chengjue has made many achievements, and now he has put down the rebellion. Grandson wondered if it is time to mention it. After all, they are based in Yunnan." Zhu Xiongying said to Lao Zhu, "Mu Chun is not bad, grandson Not to mention his military exploits, this brother-in-law is as good at martial arts as King Qianning."

Old Zhu smiled, and said to Zhu Xiongying, "In the future, you will make him the Duke of Qian, but now you should wait, don't worry."

Zhu Xiongying also laughed, Mu Chun did have some achievements.It's just that it's a bit reluctant to say Feng Guogong now, and of course it's acceptable, after all, this is an absolute honor guarding a place, and Feng Guogong is no problem.

The meaning of Lao Zhu is also very obvious. Mu Chun has not made any special achievements now, so he can wait and suppress.When Zhu Xiongying ascended the throne and then mention Mu Chun's title, then the grace will naturally be given by Zhu Xiongying.

"I still miss your nephew." Old Zhu laughed, and said to Zhu Xiongying, "You are an uncle, just like us, you have endless worries."

Zhu Xiongying was also happy, and said to Old Zhu, "If Mu Lin can behave like King Qiyang in the future, then my grandson will be happy."

Lao Zhu didn't say anything more, and there was really no need to continue talking about such things.Mu Chun's title will be raised again in the future.For some military forces in Yunnan and Annan, everything is under control.

Let's continue reviewing the memorials, Zhu Xiongying still has a lot of things to do, and there is really no way to be idle at this time.

Zhu Xiongying, who was used to approving memorials, was very efficient, but when he saw a memorial, he stopped immediately.This requires careful thinking and serious consideration.

Throughout the ages, respecting the old and loving the young are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.And the feudal society attached great importance to the issue of old-age care, so that the old people had something to rely on.

From the pre-Qin to the Qin and Han Dynasties, wine and meat were given to the elderly, rice cotton was given to the orphans, and criminals with elderly parents were pardoned.The Three Elders were established in Han Gaozu to stabilize social order and consult local government affairs.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were further improvements.And even Jurchen and Mongolia have given some old-age policies, such as generally giving millet and silk to the elderly.

The Ming Dynasty naturally attached great importance to the policy of providing for the elderly. The implementation of the pension measures for the common people was not an original creation of the Ming Dynasty, but a governance policy passed down through the dynasties.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lao Zhu made a rule that men should be 70 to [-] years old, and they would serve as men, and they would be exempted at [-] years old.At the same time, if there is an elderly person over [-] years old in the family, one person in the family can be exempted from corvee service to serve the elderly with peace of mind.

With the improvement of the country's strength, Lao Zhu also ordered some pension measures to be added.Regularly distributing living materials such as rice, grain, silk, and cotton wool to the elderly can ensure the livelihood of some elderly people.

The other is that those who are physically disabled, have no one at home, or live in extreme poverty can be admitted to nursing homes.

In fact, there were nursing homes at the beginning of the founding of the country, but now they are becoming more and more perfect.For example, now that the imperial court wants to expand the scale of nursing homes, there should also be nursing homes in some counties and remote areas.

"Grandfather, my grandson is going to let Jin Yiwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervise together." Zhu Xiongying said to Lao Zhu helplessly, "In recent years, some corrupt officials have been cheating and deceiving from time to time. Those who accept the support of the imperial court think of ways to sneak in."

There is no way, although Lao Zhu has always punished corrupt officials severely.But now, there are still many corrupt officials.There are orphans in the nursing home, and there is no shortage of people who do not meet the requirements. He bribed the reviewers and changed his age and property status privately in order to get support from the court.

Old Zhu's eyes showed a murderous look, and he said to Zhu Xiongying, "Those people deserve to die!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded, and he will not be polite to these people, "Grandfather, although the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" has already required that all prefectures and counties in the world should have nursing homes, but it is not progressing now. Grandson plans to include nursing homes in a few days As one of the civil and military evaluation standards, the border guards should also have a nursing home."

Lao Zhu nodded with a smile. He has always supported things like providing for the elderly.

"The old is old and the old is the old, the young is the young and the young is the young." Zhu Xiongying continued, "The old man should support, and some children should also be supported. The grandson thought that if his parents died in state affairs, it should be the court's responsibility. Come to make offerings. Grandson is preparing to take those children to the capital and raise them himself."

Old Zhu was taken aback for a moment, and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Ying'er, this is not a trivial matter, can you bear it?"

In fact, in this age, seventy is rare since ancient times, and there are relatively few elderly people at this age.Therefore, no matter whether it is the Nursing Home or the imperial court distributing food and cloth, generally speaking, the consumption is not large.But the orphans who died in the king's affairs are not a small number.

Zhu Xiongying also followed up and said, "Grandpa, the grandson has also investigated, and the number is not large. Some soldiers will die in battle, and naturally they will be compensated by the court. Widows or their parents can also raise their children and grandchildren. But there are also some people who are ill. Disasters are also unpredictable. If orphans and children enter the nursing home, the grandson will not bear it."

Lao Zhu nodded, and then said viciously, "What we are most afraid of are those who have no family! If the head of the family dies, there will be some damned people among those clan relatives, and some clan elders may not be able to do justice."

"The grandson is going to get out the Yulin orphans, as an explanation to the meritorious soldiers. They are loyal to the country, and the court will take care of their wives. Except for the five hundred Yulin orphans, the Guozijian and Xinxue specially allow the meritorious soldiers to enter school..."

Zhu Xiongying was still talking eloquently, but Old Zhu suddenly interrupted, "You make a Habayashi Orphan Army, and we support you. Let the soldiers study and learn essays in the future, and we don't talk about it. It's this new learning. What is new learning? "

Zhu Xiongying who brought private goods was not embarrassed at all, he just wanted to do so.He knew that it was not easy to promote new learning, and it would not be accepted by traditional scholars, so Zhu Xiongying found some students who were more rooted and popular.

Civil officials in the future are definitely not just those who read sage books!
