Daming heir

Chapter 199 The Dirty Deal

Everything in the world is always in constant transaction.

Just like the law of energy conservation going on all the time.

Glancing at the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army in front of him, Zhu Yunxi threw the whip in his hand to Sun Cheng who was at the side.

Before walking up the steps, the officers and soldiers in front of the yamen had already bowed and clasped their fists.

Entering the main hall of the Chinese military governor's mansion, Zhu Yunxi saw the founding fathers Chang Sheng and Liang Guogong Lan Yu, sitting on the top chairs on the left and right sides of the main hall.

Obviously, these two just arrived.

The timing is very accurate.

Zhu Yunxi smiled silently.

This is the pattern of the military above the court today.

In silence, Zhu Yunxi walked in front of all the people present, and went straight to the head of the Chinese military governor's mansion, the chief governor.

"The ministers and others see the emperor's grandson."

All the meritorious generals stood up, clasped their fists and saluted.

Zhu Yunxi nodded, stretched out his hands and pressed down, motioning for everyone to sit down.

And he was quietly watching these people in front of him.

Except for the two Dukes Chang Sheng and Lan Yu, all the people present here are all the military generals who made great contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

It has been 25 years since the Ming Dynasty, and they have all reached the end of their prime of life, but they still represent the soldiers and troops of the Ming Dynasty.

None of the people present were without meritorious titles.

Those lieutenant generals who have never obtained the title of meritorious service are not eligible to participate in today's transaction that is destined to be extremely dirty.

Even if their family has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

Because the people present already represented the Ming military.

"I was in a hurry today, and I invited all of you here for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. I hope that all uncles and seniors will be happy."

Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth, what he said was very polite, but the content was not polite at all.

The whole article can be shortened to a single word.

This is to do business properly, regardless of wantonness, regardless of the so-called uncles and seniors.

Sapphire and Chang Sheng looked at each other.

The two of them walked around less and less now. After the eldest son of the Chang family entered the palace to serve as the commander of the imperial guards, no one could stop the rise of the Chang family again.

Sapphire can only give way, otherwise the whole system will collapse and cease to exist.

And after Tangli from Xin Guogong's mansion entered the court to serve as the governor of the Chinese army's governor's mansion, the military in Beijing was inevitably divided into a small group.

Everyone present knows about Zhejiang Road.

The stalls are divided into acres, the officials and gentry are integrated, and heavy tax merchants.

All of these are inseparable from the people present.

The two princes looked at each other, and the people below were also silently speculating.

Chang Sheng couldn't resist the persuasion of Lan Yu's eyes, he cupped his hands and turned his head and said, "I also ask the grandson to show you that for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers will definitely live up to their trust and do their best!"

As usual, as long as someone in the army speaks out, many things will be settled.

But at this time, Zhu Yunxi clearly looked at Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, on the other side.

Dazed and somewhat confused, Lan Yu couldn't help becoming nervous for a moment as she met her nephew's eyes in a daze.

It's just an unreasonable tension.

After taking a few breaths, Lan Yu said in a deep voice, "The same is true for my minister."

The hearts of all the people present were slightly moved. The actions of the emperor's grandson obviously reiterated their hints once again that Duke Liang and Duke Founder in the army were from two parties, not a single group.

This will not be determined by their actual relationship, but by the will of the emperor's grandson or the royal family.

Zhu Yunxi finally sat down.

After sitting down, Zhu Yunxie said the second sentence after arriving at the scene today: "Zhejiang Dao is promoting the promotion of stalls into the mu, integration of officials and gentry, and heavy taxation of merchants. What do you think?"

No one spoke, and the main hall was silent.

Everyone knew that the Emperor Taisun didn't want them to give real thoughts at this time, but just wanted them to know that what Zhejiang Dao was doing was now in front of them.

This made everyone present feel very embarrassed.

They are the meritorious service of the Ming Dynasty. They followed the emperor's father when the country was founded and risked their lives all the way here. They bleed and were injured on the battlefield, and many old buddies fell to the establishment of the new dynasty.

Over the years, the old man of the emperor has killed many former brothers in the same robe, and they have become more and more peaceful, just in the countryside to get more food for each family.

Now, this honor will also be gone.

It is false to say that you are willing, but what if you are not willing?

Those generals in the army who are not qualified to participate in today's transaction, which can be described as a grand banquet, are waiting for their superiors all the time.

For no reason, these reckless men who killed talents in the army became more educated in their minds, and thought of an idiom.

A glass of wine to relieve the military power!
At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already spoken.

"Things in the way of Zhejiang, things will come true! This is a national policy, and it is a matter of the country and society."

"The country has been in power for 25 years now. On Xuanwu Lake, the number of acres of land in the world is published. If you are not in charge of a family, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. The same is true for upholding state affairs."

"The population of the world is increasing, more and more. The imperial court takes an examination every three years, and the so-called seeds of reading are also increasing."

This is the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunxi said in a calm tone, and then looked at the meritorious generals in front of him.

His tone suddenly changed, implying a deep meaning: "Nowadays, the court is also marching north every year, and the soldiers are victorious, and the court always has to give a reward."

Having said that, he stopped.

The Ming Dynasty has gone through 25 years, and today's Daming is not just driving away the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty.

At that time, the fields in the world were deserted and the population was sparse. It was very common for thousands of miles of embankment to see people, and it was also common for tens of thousands of mu of fertile land to be uncultivated.

It's just that after these 25 years, under the genes of the people in the Central Plains who have been diligent and hardworking since ancient times, it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to find a field that no one cultivates.

Even in a disaster year, if the people abandon their fields, the government or country gentry will make use of them, and they will never let them go to waste.

But this was not the end. On the way to Zhejiang Road with Xia Yuanji this time, Zhu Yunxi asked many questions, all of which were within the responsibility of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

In the past 25 years alone, not only has all of Daming's land been planted with crops, but it has also reached the point where there are more people and less land.

The Ministry of Household Affairs is even more visible to the naked eye to see that there will always be one less place where taxes can be collected.

The production of resources has not decreased, but the resources that can be collected have decreased, which is very unreasonable.

There is only one reason for this to happen.

A large number of social production resources have been occupied by private individuals.

As Zhu Yunxi said, the educated gentry, the meritorious generals, and the clan that he never spoke of, all of these groups continued to encroach on privately owned land that had never grown.

Fat private individuals starve the country to death.

The founding father Chang Sheng, who had been prepared for a long time, sighed slightly. After all, things have reached an unbalanced point.

It's just that he, who had been prepared for a long time, silently stuffed his hands into his bosom.

Before he could take out the booklet of land properties that had been counted recently by the family.

Zhu Yunxi above had already taken out a notebook and slapped it on the table.

"The imperial envoy of the King of Qin supervised the disaster relief in Zhejiang Province. He felt the suffering of the people. As a clan, the second uncle couldn't bear the days when the people of the world were starved of food and naked."

As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi lifted up the notebook in his hand and waved it in front of everyone.

"The king of Qin said that this time the land of the Qin feudal clan will be compared with the fixed number of acres for the stalls in Zhejiang Province, and the tax for the land will be paid in full, and all the land will be allocated to the big warehouse of the household department."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but think of that day, when he was about to rush back from Hangzhou, he was stopped by the second secretary who had been hiding in the governor's office of Zhejiang Province for a whole winter.

Zhu Yunxi clearly remembered that the second uncle had a complicated expression that day, something he had never seen on the eldest clan prince of the Ming Dynasty.

The second uncle didn't say anything, but just handed over the invitation about Qin Fan's implementation of the integration of government and gentry, and then called out to the woman who was sent to the back office by Liu Man before, very sad Words like great.

Zhu Yunxi could only accept it with a wry smile.

He knew very well that the old second uncle was probably scared.Half of the Zhejiang Road was cut off by his own hands, and he was afraid that he would repeat this scene to Qin Fan.

Everyone in the world thinks King Qin is a violent person, but they don't know who among the clan princes who founded the Ming Dynasty is stupid.

It's just because of their identities that they are allowed to have different personalities.

When Chang Sheng, Lan Yu and others heard this, their faces changed drastically.

Everyone knows that with the statement of King Qin, the first prince of the clan, they no longer have an excuse to refuse the meritorious service that followed Daming.

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang is concerned about the country and the people. He is a model for the country. The ministers should do their best to set an example."

Chang Sheng was the first to react, took the opportunity to take out the notebook he had already touched, got up and walked in front of Zhu Yunxi, offered it with both hands, and carefully placed it on the table.

Everyone looked puzzled at the notebook that Duke Founder had brought out.

Everyone felt something was wrong.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the second uncle indifferently, and then glanced at the book in front of him.

It's just that he didn't read it.

Instead, he said to everyone present: "There is still a memorial here, which is going to be submitted to the old man together with the memorial of His Royal Highness King Qin."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, today's memorials and books seemed to be free of money, and another copy was taken out of Zhu Yunxi's arms.

"This is a memorial to the old man, the imperial court opened the Royal Military Academy in Xicheng."

The Royal Military Academy, this is one of the items that Zhu Yunxi is preparing to carry out this dirty deal.

Except for Chang Sheng, everyone present did not understand what it was.

But the word "college" can be heard clearly.

Is it like a Confucian academy that teaches and educates people?
Just waiting for these people to figure out what the Royal Military Academy is.

Zhu Yunxi has already opened his mouth to explain: "In the 25 years of the Kingdom, there are more and more veterans in the army. If you can still fight for a few years, how many years will it take for the children in your family to become talents? Please set up the Royal Military Academy to take the meritorious veterans in the army. Teach me the military knowledge of the Ming Dynasty in the academy, and after receiving meritorious service, the generals in the army will be admitted to school, and I will be happy as a soldier of the Ming Dynasty!"

The first item of this transaction, Zhu Yunxi said.

In the main hall of the Chinese military governor's mansion, there was already a burst of noise.

Jingchuanhou Cao Zhen even stood up directly.

"Grandfather, is this serious?"
