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

Chapter 402 Ming Dynasty?Northern Song Dynasty?
Zhu Yijiong personally cultivates and encourages farmers. This is not reversing the direction of history, but respecting tradition.

Only in this way can the officials and people of the world feel at ease. At least the emperor still values ​​agriculture and mulberry trees and is considerate of the people.

Be careful.

This has now become the second place for Zhu Yijiong to rest and work. Huagai Hall is a dedicated office hall.

Not surprisingly, if this habit remains unchanged, it is likely to evolve into an ancestral system and be inherited by future emperors.

All four cabinet ministers were summoned by the emperor to discuss matters.

Wang Li said: "Since the fourth year of Jianwu, all registered households occupying [-] acres of land have to be split and relocated. To date, most of the land inventories in various provinces have been completed, and most of the wealthy families in various places are willing to cooperate with the court."

"This is very good." Zhu Yijiong nodded, "As the chief minister of the cabinet, I have to continue to worry about this matter. We must split up all the big families in the country this year. And the immigration work to the north cannot be stopped, but the people cannot be forced to immigrate. . Immigration is mainly based on splitting up large ethnic groups, not persuading, but forcing immigrants to relocate."

"I obey." Wang Li bowed his hands.

Zhu Yijiong reached out and knocked on the table and asked: "How is the response of the new imperial examination law among civil servants?"

Liang Wenxuan shook his head and said: "There wasn't much reaction. Maybe it's because Xinke has just resumed customization, so scholars all over the world are grateful for His Majesty's kindness."

This statement is obviously flattering!
The real reason is that the imperial court mobilized troops and horses to local governments to forcibly split up large households.As long as a large family with an area of ​​more than [-] acres was divided, the property would be divided, and many scholars were arrested for speaking out against each other.

Although a batch was quickly released, only the stubborn ones who refused to submit were left.

With such a big move ahead, the imperial court only imposed an age limit on the imperial examinations and only restricted the general examination.It's so painless and no one cares about it at all. I guess the problem won't arise until the next trial.

Zhu Yijiong nodded: "That's very good."

Wang Li then spoke again: "Your Majesty, due to the split of large households, many large families have chosen to split up their families in advance and cross the sea to Luzon and Ryukyu. However, most of their local household registrations have not been cancelled. Should they be controlled?"

This means that many wealthy families separated their families before the government did, and divided their land equally into households with [-] acres each.In this way, as long as the land that cannot be divided is given to the government, the government will not be able to divide it.

Then, without moving their local household registration, they crossed the sea to Luzon and Ryukyu, mainly to Luzon Island, and recruited people to cultivate new fields and annex land.

To put it bluntly, this is the card bug, which can not only ensure the local family business, but also continue to expand overseas.

Although Wang Li was the chief minister of the cabinet and was familiar with "Jian Jian Lu", his thoughts still stayed on the concept of the Great Ming Dynasty. He did not oppose the emperor's external expansion, but he always felt that the local population was flowing into those foreign lands. wrong.

It should be said that in the eyes of most ancients, these foreign lands were not considered Chinese territory.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

Zhu Yijiong thought for a while and said: "No, at least it doesn't have to be like this at this stage. It is also a good thing to allow the Han people to actively move and cultivate. Moreover, if those big families dare to divide their families like this, can these divided families always have no second thoughts? Let the local officials get ready, I'm afraid there will be a lot of lawsuits to be fought in the next two years."

When the cabinet ministers heard this, they immediately understood what the emperor meant.

This is not only tempting the wealthy families to develop Luzon, but also tempting the wealthy families to take the initiative to separate their families.

Taking the initiative to divide families in this way, it seems that the wealthy families have taken advantage of the court's loopholes, but can those who are divided be willing to submit to their own family?
Even if he is his own son, he still has to settle the score!

As long as the local officials are able to support the separated household heads, these wealthy families will be completely disintegrated.

This is a conspiracy, the emperor's heart is really dirty!

I have talked about civil affairs, but also military affairs.

Zhu Chengxun then said: "Your Majesty, the national treasury is full of money and food, and we can start fighting this year."

Zhu Yijiong nodded: "It is indeed time to go to war this year. Let everything go according to plan!"

Ming Dynasty had a full year of rest and recuperation last year, and no large-scale war broke out with other countries.As of this year, there is no shortage of money in the national treasury, and there is plenty of food and grass, which can fully support the launch of a large-scale war.

Moreover, even if the Ming Dynasty did not want to fight, it would not work. Because of the frontline military intelligence and the reports of the craftsmen, the border towns of Beizhili, Henan, and Shanhaiguan were already undercurrents, and the puppet Han, Manchu, and Mongolian sentries frequently approached the border.

Wang Zongtan in Pyongyang also sent an urgent message. It seems that Liaodong is actively raising troops, civilians, and food, and a war that will completely establish the future ownership of the world is about to break out.

The southwest area of ​​Yunnan and Guizhou is quite stable. It seems that it is still the territory of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. In fact, the new Manchu and Qing governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Zhang Guangsi, can only control some local state capitals, and many local state capitals have become independent in a substantial sense.Zhang Guangsi is indeed capable of fighting, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. The previous suppression of the Miao people in southwestern Guizhou was to kill the first bird with a gun, and they had to fight even if they had a tooth.

Failure to fight would expose the weakness of the Manchus in Yunnan and Guizhou. Although the Miao people in southwestern Guizhou were dispersed and expelled to Hunan, they were not so much expelled as they were unable to pursue them.

Even the captured villages could not be rehabilitated. As soon as the Qing army withdrew, they were annexed by other chieftains.

This is good news. At least the Ming army does not have to worry about military pressure from the southwest region. As long as a partial division is left, it is enough to resist Zhang Guangsi.

As for Guangxi, after Zhu Yijiong married the two strong concubines last year, the remaining prefectures in western Guangxi also gave up their last resistance and merged into Guangxi of the Ming Dynasty, and cooperated with the reform of the country.

There are really too many leading parties. Without the leading party, we might be able to survive for another two years.Surrender now. Although the chieftain can no longer continue his job and his slaves and land are gone, he can still keep his property.

And they can continue to be local officials. When they retire, they will re-elect officials, and they will still choose officials from strong people.This is for the sake of stability. Let the Han officials go. Nine out of ten are corrupt (this is indeed a fact...), and the remaining one... is particularly greedy.

After talking about the upcoming war in the north, logistics, money and food, and the transportation of civilians, the cabinet ministers went back to work.

After a while, Wu Wailai came to Jinshen Hall.

Wu Wai bowed his hands and said, "My lord, Wu Wai, pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yijiong asked: "What is the situation on the northern front?"

Wu Wai replied: "According to detailed reports from the front line, the Liaodong Puppet Qing Dynasty, Shanxi Puppet Han Dynasty, and Shaanxi Puppet Qing Dynasty have confirmed signs of joining forces. They are currently urgently raising food, grass and soldiers. When the snow melts in spring, they will definitely send troops!"

Zhu Yijiong smiled and said: "Join forces? Are you afraid that we are at odds with each other? If we can really join forces, how could we be divided into two in the first place? I reprimanded my son for pretending to be the emperor, and my son deposed me and pretended to be the emperor. What a loving father and filial son!"

Wu Wai also smiled and said: "What your Majesty said is that it is impossible for these three parties to truly join forces. I have secretly ordered the front line to work carefully and try to sow the relationship between the three parties as much as possible. Even if it is not successful, it will create a gap in their hearts and make it difficult for them to truly join forces."

Zhu Yijiong said: "Well, it's the best if you can, and it doesn't matter if you can't. In the past, they couldn't win. Now there are only remnants left. It's just a matter of putting in more effort."

Regardless of Liaodong, Shanxi, or Shaanxi, what the three parties have in common is that they all use barren and small land and population to support huge armies.

Especially in Liaodong, it seems that they have 10,000+ Sauron soldiers and the elite of Shengjing Eight Banners, as well as nearly [-] Monan Mongolian cavalry.But to raise so many soldiers, more than half of which are horse soldiers, the money and food consumed are not affordable for the population of Liaodong, which is only a few hundred thousand.

The regent of Xuantong's small court, Yinzhu, is now riding a tiger and is unable to get off. If he doesn't quickly send troops to divert the conflict, he will wait for a rebellion!
Among the three parties, only Yongzheng was slightly better off. Although Shaanxi was also poor, at least Sichuan could fill the hole because Sichuan was rich in well salt and copper coins.

The land of abundance!
Zhu Yijiong asked again: "Where are Liu Ruhan and Xi'an?"

Wu Wai replied: "Your Majesty, forgive me. Liu Ruhan's army is too special. The core direct lineage is almost all cult leaders and religious lunatics. It is really difficult for me to recruit people from among them. The situation in Xi'an is similar. They are all under the Eight Banners of the Puppet Qing Dynasty. They know that even if they surrender, It won’t end well, I’m afraid it will be difficult to switch sides.”

Zhu Yijiong said: "Liu Ruhan's direct descendants are all cult lunatics, so don't contact the direct descendants. You can choose other miscellaneous armies to start with. With so many miscellaneous armies, they will not all be cult lunatics. Send detailed work to contact the leaders of those miscellaneous armies, do not ask them Rebellion immediately. As long as they can switch sides in time, I will count them as meritorious service. Everything in the past is forgotten, so they can rest assured! Haha, it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, but you must clearly let the news out. "

When Wu Wai heard the words, he immediately understood: "I obey the order."

Zhu Yijiong added: "As for the Manchus, if they can't be persuaded to surrender, then the news just released to Shanxi will also be released to Shaanxi."

"I understand," Wu Wai said, cupping his hands.

Kill two birds with one stone!

After giving Wu Wai some more details, Zhu Yijiong waved his hand to him to leave.

In the huge Jinshen Hall, in a blink of an eye, only the emperor was left alone, as well as the old eunuch who accompanied him and a group of palace ladies who accompanied the emperor.

Zhu Yijiong stood up and looked up at the map of the Ming Dynasty hanging above the Jinshen Hall.

The latest world situation and the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence have been clearly marked in it.Only in Guangxi Province, the map has not yet been updated because it has only been a few days since the report was sent.

Looking at it as a whole, it feels like a vision of the Northern Song Dynasty.

After staring for a moment, Zhu Yijiong said: "My Ming Dynasty will never be just a small place in the Northern Song Dynasty."
