Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 91
Not only Chen Ziren couldn't figure it out, but Li Jinglong couldn't figure it out either.

Whether it's an eighth-rank official or Jin Yiwei's status, in the hearts of noble children like him, none of them can be put on the table.To put it bluntly, he is the gatekeeper of Cao Guogong's mansion in the Li family, and he is more prestigious than the local county magistrate when he returns to his hometown.

What he didn't understand was why the grandson of the emperor would be so courteous to a person who didn't know the shame and went to Fanbang to spread his branches, and what he didn't understand was why His Highness was so interested in those barbaric lands.

Chen Ziren was taken away, and he was taken to handle and hand over other matters.Fu Rang and the Commander of Jin Yiwei can just let Fu Rang and Jin Yiwei's commander know the status of Jin Yiwei. As an eighth-rank official, Li Jinglong can go to the official department for a couple of laps, and it's just a matter of a few words.

Zhu Xiongying was still sitting by the pond, wearing fur and eating yellow pears, feeling very comfortable.

Inadvertently, I saw that Li Jinglong was like a monkey scratching his heart, full of words but dared not speak.

"Are you thinking in your heart, why does Gu take a high view of that barbarian land overseas?" Zhu Xiongying laughed.

"I don't dare!" Li Jinglong hurriedly said, "Your Highness has reasons for everything you do, and I don't dare to speculate on my own if I am a foolish person."

"If you are stupid, there will be no smart people in the world!" Zhu Xiongying smiled casually.

Since ancient times, the Celestial Dynasty has been known as a vast land and abundant resources, and everything is omnipresent.In fact, Huaxia's geographical conditions are not really unique.But the coastal area of ​​Southeast Asia is an endless treasure house.

Moreover, under the influence of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, these areas have been hovering on the edge of Chinese civilization.If there is a chance to be included in the territory, it doesn't even take long to adjust. In the Chinese civilization that can tolerate and purify everything, these places will soon become part of China.

The ancients looked down on this place.

But in the eyes of Zhu Xiongying, a modern person with the soul of future generations, when is it not to take it now?
The future world is a world of great voyages, and Chinese civilization will also move from land to sea.

Furthermore, in Zhu Xiongying's mind, there is another idea that no one can tell anyone.

After the new year, the king of Shu, the king of Lu and other vassal kings will go to the vassal.In addition to rewarding land tenants, mines, forests, etc., palaces must be built and financial allocations must be given to them.

It's all money!

After the founding of the country, the old man implemented the enfeoffment system. In fact, his intentions were good at the beginning.The kings of the outer border fortresses hoarded troops, and the princes and princes guarded the dangerous cities inside.

And different from the enfeoffment of the past dynasties, the enfeoffment of the Ming Dynasty is not just randomly finding a good place for the princes to enjoy themselves.Instead, the linear enfeoffment allows these princes and princes to play a huge military role both internally and externally.

King Sai established his country along the Great Wall, dividing it into internal and external lines.The outer line crosses Yuguan in the east, crosses Liaodong, connects with Koryo in the south, connects with Kaiyuan in the north, and controls the ethnic groups in the northeast.

The outer line takes Guangning as the center, passes through Yuyang (Jixian County, Hebei Province), and Lulong exits Xifengkou, cutting off the road from Beiyuan to the south.The kings of Sai on the outer line are the vassal states of Liao, Yan, Ning, Dai, Qing, and Su.

On the map, from east to west, from south to north, these vassal states are the front line against Mongolia and Yuan, and they are places that must be contested by military strategists.And backed by Helan Mountain, it protects Ningxia, controls the Hexi Corridor, and protects the countries of the Western Regions.

On their inside line is Qin from Xi'an and Jin from Taiyuan.

The routes and spheres of influence of these vassal kings can be described as interlocking.It not only guarantees their military power, but also restricts each other, as long as they obey the central government.

But in the end, the old man's good scriptures directly made the children and grandchildren think wrongly.

Needless to say, Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunqi, any uncle seemed to be rebellious.Moreover, I still can't tell the good from the bad, Zhu Di who really wanted his life, he said in a hypocritical way that I should not be called a murderer of my uncle.And the vassal kings who were really loyal to him, such as the king of Liao, were directly put under house arrest in the capital.

Later, after Yongle Jingnan succeeded, he won the throne.A person like Zhu Di would never cede military power to others, and besides, he is an emperor who is extremely eager to make contributions.

Where is the enemy?I, Zhu Di, personally pacify it, and I disdain to pretend to others!I am not afraid of rebellion in my life, but I am afraid that there are not many thieves!
The emperor guarded the gate of the country, the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Beiping, and the national defense policy of the old man's period was completely overturned.

The princes of Ming Dynasty who originally had military power, started from the Yongle era and took another path.

Eat and sleep, sleep and live, live and eat again, eat and regenerate under such a cycle.A hundred years later, the sons of the Zhu family who were once placed high hopes by the old man turned out to be moths of the empire.

It can be said that one of the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was that it was overwhelmed by these clans.

This is why Zhu Xiongying attaches great importance to overseas places such as Siam.

There is only so much land in the Central Plains, but the sons and grandsons of the dragon are endless.The old man was not counted as a daughter in his life, and he gave birth to 26 sons alone, which shows the Zhu family's super fertility.

As soon as there are many dragon sons and grandsons, the land will not be enough. What should we do then?
Those overseas barbarian places, although miasma is rampant, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, plague and dysentery, but at least they are places that can support people, right?
Besides, on top of this, Zhu Xiongying has another idea.

In the future, he will definitely cut down the vassals, not out of precaution against other princes and uncles, but to really plan ahead, and to attribute all rights to the central government.

It is better to remove the feudal domain than to transfer the feudal domain, let the princes and grandchildren of the Zhu family go to those island countries in Southeast Asia, even if they close their doors and become emperors, so what?The population is small, and prisoners can be distributed every year.

This is a good thing that serves multiple purposes, so why not do it?
~~
However, it is still a rainy day to do these now.

In the pond, there is the reflection of Zhu Xiongying. He is just a child now, and many things have to wait for him to grow up.

Thinking that there are still many years before he grows up and takes power, Zhu Xiongying feels a little bored.

So bored, he sighed slightly.

Seeing this, Li Jinglong took a few steps forward and whispered, "Your Highness, are you bored in the palace?"

Zhu Xiongying's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "What's your plan?"

"I don't dare to have evil ideas in front of His Highness!" Li Jinglong laughed, "Now it's Chinese New Year, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the honorable children in Beijing have made an appointment to race horses together!"

"It's boring!" Zhu Xiongying curled his lips, but it was just a group of teenagers with high hormone levels competing with each other.A group of half and half kids, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Li Jinglong glanced at Jia Gui next to him. The latter remained in the same posture as a bamboo pole. The emperor's grandson didn't call him, and he just looked at his toes.

"In addition to these honorable children like the ministers, the wealthy daughters of every family will also go!"

Immediately, Zhu Xiongying's eyes lit up.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was no male and female defense like the later generations. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Tang rituals were restored, and both the noble families and the people were quite enlightened and open.Besides, the women of the wealthy families in Beijing are all the daughters of those who founded the country.In the families of those veterans, there is no such thing as incompatibility between men and women, and their daughters are also quite sturdy.

"Among them, the little daughter of Duke Wei's family and the daughter of Hou Mei's family in Runan are all well-known!" Li Jinglong lowered his voice, "Beauty and ruffian, and they are all about the same age as Your Highness!"

"Cough! Cough!" Zhu Xiongying coughed twice, "You've been doing all these crooked ways for a day, and Gu will be ruined by you sooner or later!" As he spoke, he turned his head and said, "The fifth day? How did Gu get out that day?"

"I'm here to pick you up!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.

"Actually, little beauties are nothing interesting, they are all children!" Zhu Xiongying turned sideways, "I heard that you often go to a place and what's its name. It's the one where you often go with the Chang family's cousin, and Chu Guogong and the Liao family brothers. what is it call."

Li Jinglong interjected, "Your Highness is talking about Mingyue Academy?"

"Yes!" Zhu Xiongying slapped her hands, "I heard that there is a girl named Mingyue there, who claims that the sound of her flute shakes the capital, and she can play it so beautifully."

"Hey!" Li Jinglong laughed softly, "Your Highness knows everything about the world without going out, but that woman is different." As he spoke, he moved closer, "She's still a nobleman!"

Zhu Xiongying also nodded with a smile. Although he was young, he did not hesitate to look at it with appreciative eyes.

Suddenly, Li Jinglong felt a chill in his spine and numbness in his tailbone, as if a thorn pricked him all over his body.

Looking up inadvertently, I saw Chunxiu, the personal maid of the emperor's grandson, staring at him viciously.

"It's broken! This little aunt is here, she must not go to the empress to complain!"
