I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 226 "Peaceful Era"

The first year of Jianwu.

October.

Peace in the world.

The previous large-scale operation of the Jin Yiwei resulted in the arrest of numerous officials, including even six ministers.

But in the end, although the impact was there, it was not very big.

The emperor's impeachment memorial against the officials was not published, and although the cabinet was laissez-faire, it was completely aloof from the matter, which made the officials aware of what was going on.

There are many smart people in the world, and there are many of them, so they naturally know what to do.

Anyway, those who fell off the horse were all small characters, and there were only a few really big characters, and if there were people on top of each carrot, the position would be freed up.

The previous wave of flag-raising was only out of natural hostility towards Jin Yiwei, plus the belief that the big bosses above would be on their side.

Zhu Yijiong saw everything, but he didn't point it out.

Sometimes, it is difficult to be confused.

Especially since this was still the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Manchus and the Qing Dynasty had not yet sought peace. The internal affairs could be cleaned up, but it was not appropriate to go to war yet.

The so-called moisturizing is silent.

Fortunately, the corruption this time is not a bad thing. Although the corruption has reached the center, he was informed in advance. The overall corruption is not serious, it can only be regarded as minor details, and it will be fine if it is cut off.

The officials involved, including male family members, have all been sent to the mines to stay with former Eight Banners prisoners.

According to the work intensity of the Mingjun mine and the food quality of these people, there is a high probability that they will not be able to come out alive, and they will not survive for long...

The female relatives were luckier, as there happened to be many single men in the army, and they were all forcibly assigned to the army as wives.

The previous Eight Banners were treated in the same way. The men were recruited to mine and the women were allocated to the army. It was not that Emperor Zhu was kind-hearted, it was purely a waste utilization.

Even Yang Gong, who had been fighting abroad for many years, kept a bannerman concubine in the house rewarded by Emperor Zhu in Nanjing.

Of course, she couldn't be the real wife. Even if Yang Gong wanted to, Zhu Yijiong wouldn't allow it.

This is a matter of political stance.

To be honest, these prisoners and family members of the bannermen may be innocent, but since they were reborn and enjoyed the corresponding benefits, they must pay a price, right?

……

Nanjing City.

Celebrate all day.

Zhu Yijiong's eldest son has opened Full Moon Wine. As the eldest son of Emperor Ming Dynasty, unless something unexpected happens in the future, he is already the de facto crown prince.

Its full moon wine was not only valued by the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but also by the gentry and common people all over the world.

Yang Gong and other generals who were on the front line rarely came to celebrate the prince's birthday.

In fact, Yang Gong originally planned to go back to Nanjing to congratulate him in person, but Zhu Yijiong scolded him back.

There was no need to give orders, all the shops in Nanjing city were decorated with lights and colorful decorations, just like celebrating a festival.

In addition to celebrating the prince, he is also seizing this rare opportunity to attract customers and do business.

In the side hall of the palace, Zhu Yijiong once again hosted a banquet for the officials after half a year.

Just like the last time they had a feast at the summit, all the officials were still not full.

This is normal. The emperor is on top, so how can officials dare to eat freely?

But it doesn't matter, this full-moon banquet is actually about carrying the prince out to show off, showing that the child is healthy, and also officially confirming the name, which is recorded in a jade ultimatum.

However, the name of the eldest son of the emperor took a lot of effort from the Ministry of Rites, and finally it was reluctantly solved by asking the Propaganda Department.

why?
Because it was against the rules, the problem lies with Zhu Yijiong.

His name, except for the word "yi", is correct, but the word "jiong" at the end is completely inconsistent with the order of inheritance of the five elements of the old Zhu family.

Zhu Yijiong respected him as a descendant of the third prince Zhu, and no matter who he was, the third prince Zhu was definitely fire, so he, the Yi generation, could only be gold, not fire.But fortunately, there is Wang Jingqi in the Propaganda Department. This person only spent a few days to start talking about Zhu Yijiong's troops... No, it was about discussing legality and legitimacy.

After a wave of forced embarrassment, even Lu Youlong, the Minister of Propaganda Department, was a little dumbfounded.

It’s not that you don’t believe it, it’s just that this guy slaps you on the head with all kinds of big hats.

Ordinary people either can't understand it, or they understand it and dare not say it.

Talent!
Flattery can be photographed like this.

In the end, Zhu Yijiong looked through the things presented by the Ministry of Rites, thought for a moment and said, "Let's call him Zhu Boqi!"

Qi, a place directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor.

Zhu Yijiong also wanted to think of a name for his son, but since he was the emperor, his wife and children had to be more or less political.

Especially since he is the eldest son of the emperor, it is naturally impossible for him to pick up the name himself.

……

A few days after Daqing.

The palace, the imperial study.

Zhu Yijiong was looking at the reports from all over the country, all reporting on the current situation.

Winter is coming.

Zhu Yijiong originally had a bit of luck, thinking that the historical records might be wrong.

Maybe it won’t be that serious next year, or maybe I just remembered it wrong? .

But now, just judging from the reports delivered from various places, it is not only snowing this year, but also heavy, lasting longer than in previous years, and the temperature is also lower.

A reduction in grain production in some areas seems inevitable, but we don't know whether the disaster will be severe or not.

The only good thing is that Taihu Lake has not frozen, indicating that it should not be too serious.

"There's still no way to avoid it after all!" Zhu Yijiong closed the memorial and sighed.

Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance. Relying on the large quantities of grain purchased from Siam, as well as the promotion of high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes and corn, as well as other state government grain expenditures that had little impact, there should be no problem in getting through it.

However, we still need to prepare as much as possible, and we will continue to buy food in Siam.

Local disaster relief efforts must not be lax. After all, the disaster will be real next year, and I am afraid that we will not be able to avoid it the year after that, and we will have to bear it forcefully.

Fortunately, sweet potatoes and corn have been promoted. It’s hard to say next year, but the year after that should be much better.

Moreover, the Qing army will not let the Ming army farm safely in the south of the Yangtze River and accumulate strength.

"A troubled autumn!"

Zhu Yijiong shook his head, and then wrote and wrote: "Read, we should provide disaster relief as soon as possible."

Opening another letter, it was written by Chen Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who said that most of the preparations for the draft had been made. He only needed to wait for the emperor to read it before he could write it to the provincial officials and start in the spring of next year.

The Propaganda Department had already distributed the Di newspaper in advance, and the overall response was pretty good.It can only be said that in the eyes of the people of this era, the normal emperor is the three palaces and six courtyards.

If you are pure-hearted and don't care about the people, those gentry and bureaucrats will be the first to refuse.

Moreover, the draft is not just about selecting concubines for the emperor alone, it is also about selecting concubines for the clan and the emperor.

The political significance is often greater than the actual, mainly to gain political support. An emperor as powerful as the Qing Dynasty must have a Mongolian concubine.

For example, the prototype of Xiang Fei who was almost raped by Qianlong in the TV series is actually not good-looking according to later generations. It can only be said to be... well, a standard Mongolian woman.

Zhu Yijiong's heart was not disturbed at all, and he continued to criticize: "Read it."

After thinking about it, he added: "Never prohibit people from marrying freely."

Zhu Yijiong doesn't want to be scolded by the people. Anyway, this wave is just a political show. The real people selected are either big or big ones, and they have nothing to do with the people.

Why should we ban free marriage among the people just to enforce some bad customs?
　The talent show is sponsored by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Don't ask me why, I don't know...
