Chapter 622 Double Reed
People can't be without pursuit, once they lose their pursuit, they will quickly degenerate.

When the cabinet let out the news first, and the matter of the kingship became clear, Huang Cheng, the seventh-rank officer of Haojing Customs under Siyang, wrote a letter to the court, affirming the problem of poor management of overseas enclaves.

At the same time, the old story of Henan Province, which has the most vassal princes in nine prefectures and is carrying out the work of clearing the farmland, is brought up again.

Zhang Juzheng blatantly pressed down the two manuscripts.

Immediately afterwards, the Chengdu government played the manuscript again, saying that [-]% of the Woye Plain, the land of abundance, was occupied by Wang Zhuang, with the remaining [-]% ​​of the military land and [-]% of the civilian land, and the entire Chengdu government was occupied by tenant farmers.

In fact, this is a cliché. Everyone knows these things, and they have to report them every few years. One minus one minus one meter.

But this is a temporary solution, not the root cause. The vassal kings will not starve to death if their Lumi base is more or less; but if the lieutenants below are cut, they will not be able to live on, and they will complain for years. Many of these people are sensible people. , They have worked so hard to submit a form with one request-let us also participate in an imperial examination and do some business, the worst is the worst, let us be a tenant for others.

The ministers are all willing, not to mention the tenants, even if you go to pick up dung, no one will stop you, but every time the matter is reported to the emperor to make a decision, no emperor is happy.

The etiquette and laws set by the ancestors have been implemented for so many years, and it is my descendants who say that they will not raise them if they don’t want to raise them?
Originally, Emperor Jiajing was the most likely to change the clan system, but this is why the clan ascended the throne, so he had a lot of concerns; Emperor Longqing hadn't been in power for a few years, and there was no environment in which he could deal with the problems of the vassals due to internal and external troubles. Keep dragging.

But this time is different.

As soon as Huang Cheng's memorial book was published, officials from the military, household, ritual, and engineering departments who had contacts with the four oceans also took pictures of the manuscripts. They also complained one after another, unable to suppress it.

The court, which was calm for a while, suddenly appeared to be turbulent.

And it's weird, a discerning person can see the problem at a glance.

The dignitaries of various provinces in the country took advantage of the opportunity of Qingzhang Tianmu to implement the test method and complained: "Oh, we have no land in this place, and the most good land has been taken by the vassal king!"No, if this continues, the country will perish one day!
The overseas small officials seem to have not seen the public opinion of the court, and they are all worrying about the future: Oh, my Ming Dynasty has too many overseas enclaves, and there will be more and more!No, if it continues like this, it will be difficult to manage overseas. The officials of the DPRK and China must find a way!

Some officials didn't have an exquisite heart, and the more they looked at the officials from all over the world, the more annoying they became, these bastards!The whole country is like this, who are you slapping in the face when you say such sarcastic remarks, and who are you going to listen to?
But those who can figure things out can see the implication after a little analysis. This is singing double reeds on both sides.

But at this time, no one took seriously Xu Zhenming, who was soft-spoken, in the letter about the academic talents of King Zheng's son Zhu Zaiyu in the science and technology awards, and no one paid attention to him at all.

This back and forth has been tossing for ten days, and when almost all the manuscripts to be reported by the provinces have been reported to the capital, the cabinet just seemed to be "unstoppable", and began to summon the prefects and senior officials of various ministries in a slow and orderly manner. He also pretended to call Ye Mengxiong into Beijing to ask questions.

In this matter, Chen Mu was completely out of the way, devoted himself to training soldiers, and quietly worked together in Beiyang and Xuanda's Fang Fengshi in Tianjin, collecting black evidence of Taipu Temple's mishandling of Ma Zheng-stealing his horse, selling him Damn, Beiyang has dealt with everything that can be dealt with here, but the main black hand is still sticking out directly from the Taipu Temple, and it is impossible for him to run to the Fifth Temple with a gun and kill the Shaoqing of the Taipu Temple.

The two of them hit it off, and Fang Fengshi also hated Taipusi. He bought horses from Xuanda and sent them to Taipusi for use by the Beijing camp. They didn't know how to raise them. Weeds, beans and other concentrated feeds were not used to eating at first, and they got sick as soon as they ate them. When they got sick, they were made into smoked horse sausage.

After the incident, Jingying also wrote a letter saying that Xuanda was not good, and that he was a sick horse after spending a lot of money to buy it back. Fang Fengshi was so angry that his teeth were itchy.

Today, there are only two places where Mongolian horses are raised, one is Xuanda and the other is Nanzhili, and there are only three places where Mongolian horses flow into Koushi. Except for Xuanda and Nanzhi, it is Beizhili, not Beizhili. I don't know how to raise it, but the North Zhili horse meat consumes a lot.

In May, the court meeting was held several times, but no result was reached. Although Chen Mu did not attend the court meeting on the basis of Beiyang's identity, he had a lot of eyeballs, and most of the things were understood, and everything was moving in a good direction , There is no need for him to wade into the muddy water.

Chen Mu still has self-knowledge in this matter. The external feudal lord is not a military officer, and has almost nothing to do with his own work. If things go well, he can do it without making him angry; It's not good to do things with a fishy smell on the top.

Just in time for the four giant ships to berth at the port, Chen Mu sent a manuscript to the palace, and rode all the way to Beijing with the ship map.

"This matter has something to do with you. I know it. Don't look at you pretending to be a good person in Tianjin and push the matter to the cabinet."

Fatty Xu was the first person I met when I arrived in Beijing. As Zhang and Feng became more and more powerful, Xu Jue was also a holy family. Lu Lai walked across the market in boa robes, and whispered to Chen Mu: "The gang of elders in Beijing don't even know where his mother Haojing is, and they even talk about overseas. It would be impossible without your help!"

Chen Mu smiled softly, neither denying nor admitting, raised his thumb and pointed to the ship chart held by Juniper behind him, and said, "I'm not sure about the affairs of the court, I'll show the emperor the ship chart, at most half a year, we The Wanli is going to travel around the sky, how is Dugong doing?"

"If you have the heart, let me remind you."

Before entering the Forbidden City, Xu Jue said in a low voice while there was no one outside the gate of the palace: "Because of the matter of conferring the king overseas, there is now a conflict inside and outside, and the godfather collects money to eliminate disasters for others. How else can the capital be sealed?" It doesn't matter, princes and county kings cannot be sealed overseas."

This is nonsense, Chen Mu squinted his eyes and thought, Fei Lumi’s favorite is the prince and county king, if it’s just for transferring the titles to those generals and lieutenants, what’s the problem, let alone Zhang Juzheng, Chen Mu just sent a note, thinking Calling a group of generals and lieutenants to go to sea is easy. The real big problem is that the fiefs of the princes and counties will be nationalized.

Stopping in his tracks, Chen Mu asked with a smile on his face, "I hope my brother will tell me, which family is going to eliminate the disaster, can't we not move him?"

Fatty Xu also stopped, closed his eyes and shook his head slightly, whispering five words.

"The Merciful Empress Dowager!"

　Good morning!
