Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 328 Obligations
"Grandfather, this time grandson is going to change some guards, more or less for the grain-producing areas we mentioned before." Zhu Yunying said slowly, and said to Lao Zhu, "This time, we are going to take advantage of the trend and start laying down the land in Liaodong." foundation."

Lao Zhu frowned slightly, and then realized, "We know this, we have a lot of military households in the farmland. Let's just leave it at that. Those military guards who were abolished will all be relocated to Liaodong, right?"

Seeing Zhu Yunying nodding, Old Zhu said worriedly, "Just you need to know that Liaodong is bitterly cold. If the general family moved there to cultivate land, many people would not be very happy. You should also know these reasons .”

"So what grandson thinks about is the bank, and what he thinks about is tying some individuals to Daming." Zhu Yunying smiled and said to Lao Zhu, "Just like Grandpa Huang, he is very obsessed with the land. With his own land, It's what the vast majority of people think."

This point comes to Lao Zhu's heart, mainly because of his attachment to the land, not just Lao Zhu's obsession.

Having their own land is the ultimate dream of countless people.And the vast majority of people, in fact, have difficulty owning their own land throughout their lives, or it can be said that it is difficult to own land that can support themselves and their families.

Lao Zhu seemed to remember it, and immediately said, "Let's remember, you said before that you want to reform the land system, saying that the land is state-owned. We have been asked about it these days, and it seems to be somewhat similar to those well field systems."

Isn't that the reason? The nationalization of land is not completely realistic nowadays.After all, at the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many things had already been determined.It's not easy to turn around when the boat is big, otherwise it would be more or less easy to cause some turmoil.

If the land is forcibly recovered now, it is estimated that it will dissatisfy the aristocratic families and squires in the world.The imperial power of the Ming Dynasty is supreme, which seems beyond doubt.It's just that Zhu Yunying will not naively think that imperial power is everything, and it is unrealistic to suppress the dissatisfaction of many people in the world.

Think about Qin II, think about Sui Yang Emperor, this can be regarded as a lesson from the past.

"Although my grandson wants to be straightforward and directly take all the land back to the imperial court, we also know that it is not realistic." Zhu Yunying said slowly, and said to Lao Zhu, "It's just that when we govern the world, we should rely more or less on these squires, Scholars. Let's talk about it, it's not easy to kill these people at once."

Lao Zhu nodded, and then said with a smile, "That's the reason, we can't beat all those people to death in one go."

"Win some, attack some, divide some, that's what we want." Zhu Yunying said triumphantly to Lao Zhu, "Make more friends and make fewer enemies. We also know that Daming is basically the common people. It’s something we have to take care of.”

Lao Zhu slapped his hands and said cheerfully, "That's the reason. We are the emperor, so we should have a solid foundation."

A solid foundation is the most important thing, and there is no need to care about other things.Zhu Yunying also knew that it was unrealistic to play all the cards in one go, or to directly apply some future systems to the current Daming.

Zhu Yunying hugged the fussy little Zhu, and said slowly, "My grandson thinks that the foundation of Ming Dynasty is the common people. We also promised the emperor grandmother that we will let the common people have enough food and clothing. This time, we will reform the system to allow many people to have land , It’s just that Jiangsu and Zhejiang are important areas and are not suitable for reform. Jingchu’s side can make a little effort. But Lingnan and Liaodong’s side can start directly.”

Old Zhu's eyes lit up, and he said narrowly, "You bastard, you have to give the land so that those people can go to Liaodong obediently."

This is the rationale. Although Daming is still continuing to emigrate, it is just that most of the time it is forced.

As for the legendary word "relieving hands", some people mean that immigrants are tied up on the road, and they will inevitably have to pee and shit on the long journey.

Especially about the big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi, which seems to be an important place for Hongwu to relocate people.It's not even just "relief", but also said that after the officers and soldiers forced the people to register, in order to prevent them from escaping, they tied them up behind their backs, and then connected them into a string with a long rope to escort the immigrants on the road.

Because the immigrant's arms were tied for a long time, their arms gradually became numb, and soon they got used to it. Later, most of the immigrants liked to walk with their hands behind their backs, and their descendants also followed this habit.

Look, there are too many stories about Lao Zhu, and this living habit has something to do with Lao Zhu.

Old Zhu laughed happily, and said quite proudly, "We knew our grandson was taking one step and three steps. Before, we were afraid that your thinking was too good, so we used too radical methods. Let's see now, our The grandson is the emperor's heart."

Zhu Yunying couldn't help being happy, and said triumphantly, "That's right, what we want is the stability of the world. Some things should naturally be like this. When it should be stable, we must be stable. We have also thought about it. Some policies are Okay, but we are also afraid that good policies will change if they are put down."

Obviously, it's not just Xiao Zhu who has such thoughts, Lao Zhu is actually worried about these things too.

Lao Zhu thinks that the policies he formulates must be for long-term peace and stability, and that the Ming Dynasty will be passed down for thousands of years.But these things are more or less the emperor's good intentions, but the officials and gentry below are not cooperative.

Zhu Yunying is naturally worried about these things, so these things must be changed.Too drastic means are indeed not suitable for the current Daming. We can only start to reform some places and do some pilot projects.

"We changed the military guards and guards, and we need to start adding more soldiers." Zhu Yunying continued, "All of this, we just want to develop it for Liaodong and Lingnan. Let's lay a good foundation. In the future, this little fart The Daming country that the child took over is a stable country. We, the prince, are just middle-aged."

Lao Zhu was silent for a moment, looking at his great-grandson who was happily kicking the water with his short legs, Lao Zhu knew that this kid was just like a man.

So there are some things that really need Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu to do well.Otherwise, there is no way to expect Xiao Xiaozhu to make the country better all at once.This kid, everyone expects him to be the king of success, and that's enough.

"We want to go to Liaodong, more or less because we are thinking about border troubles." Zhu Yunying said to Lao Zhu, "The Northern Expedition planned by the emperor before, those Tartars will not be successful in three to fifty years. It's just a golden man, we are in a hurry .”

Lao Zhu frowned slightly. The enemies of all dynasties basically came from the north. They used to be the Huns, or the Turks who had some relationship with the Huns.Otherwise, they would be the Mongols later.

As for the Liao Dynasty established by the Khitan people and the Jin Dynasty established by the Jurchens, it seems that it was just a flash in the pan.But Zhu Yunying understood that it was not really a flash in the pan, and this must be taken seriously.

Now there are three major privet tribes: Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen and Donghai Jurchen.Basically, they are also in Liaodong, and they are active in the area of ​​​​Nurgandusi. These three tribes now basically seem to live a life of drinking blood and riding deer.

However, these individuals are indeed extremely fierce, after all, their living environment is very harsh.

Han civilization and Confucian civilization have an extremely powerful feature that is inclusiveness.The Han civilization with extremely powerful assimilation ability is so courageous, as long as you give it some time, it will become a part of the Chinese civilization under the influence of your ears and eyes.

"We are going to move some of the military households in the fields to Liaodong. It is bitterly cold there. We will reduce their corvee and taxes for ten years, and we will give them land for each household and person. We took it from the Tartars earlier. Cattle and horses, after some training, I will also send a batch to them." Zhu Yunying looked at Lao Zhu, and said confidently, "It's bitter and cold, but it can get some life."

Old Zhu nodded with a smile, and said, "Our imperial court has raised them for ten years, and let him help us raise them in the bitter cold place of Liaodong!"

"It won't work in ten years, and I guess it will take longer. But we can afford it. We spend ten or twenty years, and our descendants can have a hundred years of stability." Zhu Yunying looked at Lao Zhu and said nonchalantly, " Grandpa Huang, those of us who are capable will work harder, and if we suffer a bit, our children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy the blessings in the future."

Lao Zhu was very happy, his grandson just had the same temperament as him, and it was nothing to suffer a little by himself.As long as the children and grandchildren in the future can enjoy happiness, as long as the children in the future can have a stable country, it is better than anything else!
"We know very well that it is unlikely that we will use more weapons in the next few years. We will relocate the military households in the fields, and we should also take care of some old soldiers who have contributed a lot to our Daming Jiangshan. They." Zhu Yunying smiled and continued, "Let's give them a piece of land over there, so they can enjoy themselves."

Lao Zhu was noncommittal, going to Liaodong is not necessarily a blessing.If you really want to enjoy happiness, if you are resettled in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and given a piece of land, that is the real happiness.

It's just that Lao Zhu would not say that Zhu Yunying's actions were wrong. Who made his grandson the emperor? When he should be ruthless, he must be ruthless.

Zhu Yunying is also very clear that it's not that the rulers are cruel, sometimes it is indeed necessary to sacrifice the interests of some groups.Naturally, it is for the long-term stability of Daming, and sometimes it can only be cruel.

Maybe those military households who are going to Liaodong now will complain, but Zhu Yunying really has no other way.

There are some things that can only be done by Zhu Yunying now, and there are some things that he can do with greater courage.There is nothing to be done about some resistance, and what should be done is still to be done.In the next period of time, there may also be debates in the court.

Or, it is also necessary to show the authority of the emperor and use strong means to suppress the voices of opposition!

What should be done must be done, this is the emperor's duty!
