Supporting the body in the white blade, wandering in the red dust

Chapter 886
Silver winter melons are three to four hundred catties each, and four soldiers use ropes and wooden frames to carry them to the carriage, pile up a few and transport them away, and there are officials and craftsmen recruited from the Ministry of Households here, who have nothing to do with them The silver winter melons were melted and recast into official silver ingots and sent to the treasury.Bailang asked people to make a random Beijing observation of the heads that will be obtained in Datong, "The number is a little bit small, and everyone will take care of it."

Shanxi merchants copied almost 2000 million taels of silver. The national treasury has never been so full. Of course, such a full treasury is a big job. The Yellow River water conservancy and the canal water conservancy must be done, and the water storage pools in North China must be cleaned up. After clearing and digging, the artificially irrigated canals should be done well, and it would be good to collect more food in the following weather.

There are a lot of vassal kings in Shanxi and Henan, and Bailang is going to get rid of all the vassals. Removing their princes will at least save a lot of offspring——Since the Taizu to the present, the population breeding has made many offshoots re-emerge. Picked up Taizu's housekeeping skills to beg for food.This abolishes the lineages of the kings and nobles, and the subordinates below can really go to work, study and do business, and can be an ordinary person, not to mention that Bai Lang said that relatives, of course, give priority to the land in the king's family. Unemployed poor offshoot chant.

"Be obedient and pay the errands. As for whether the family business can be maintained or not, then it's none of my business." Bai Lang muttered, he was sitting here at this time, and things were almost done.Inspect one side to rectify the other side, and use huge violence to quickly clean up - such as urging the payment of owed money, replacing officials, and reiterating the payment of the share of the land and the mu.

Is there any counterbalance?There are no violent ones, but there are uncooperative ones—almost all are from official families, and the most common one is secretly concealing the land.Bailang is also simple, he directly sells the fame and fame, and takes back all the favors left by the previous emperor, and handles it the same as the previous Shanxi merchants, and the family is completely distributed to all over the world.Bailang didn't kill many people, but the reputation of cruelty spread to the outside world.

At least those "people" in the south think that the current emperor is the first-class stupid emperor in the history of Ming Dynasty, and he is similar to Taizu in terms of cruelty. Does that mean they want to raise troops to the Qing emperor's side or simply rebel?Jing Nan can do it too?The problem is that although the princes in the south are also from the Zhu family, none of them look like they can be emperors, and they really want to raise troops?There is a lot of money and food in it, besides, who will take the lead if it succeeds, and how to shirk responsibility if it fails?

All of this is like a mess, in which there are conflicts of interests - the Ming Dynasty has been in the world for 200 years, the southern literary style is very prosperous, the scholars and the local families are all intertwined, and they are all related by marriage.Isn't that what the so-called celebrities are like.Bailang left only a few vassals in Shanxi, Henan, and confiscated the fields they occupied. Even the palace had a lot of materials demolished to transport back to BJ City to build a garden for his family.

It is impossible for those feudal princes and their families to stay in the local area, and all of them will be sent back to the capital as apartments, and a palace will be built in BJ City, so it is good for them to stay in BJ City as princes.Moreover, these princes have also become degraded nobles, and they will be ordinary people after a few generations of not being an official.If you want to be an official to realize your self-worth, you can go straight to the capital and say that you will give up the prince and become a commoner, and Bailang is willing to give them a chance.

Bailang wanted to take over the world's vassal kings and let them all stay in the capital. Most of them must be cut off from the princes. The current idea is to keep a dozen or so kings and no more than [-]. The area of ​​the capital is enough to build these palaces.Bailang thought that not only the West Garden, but also gardens can be built in the west. Later, the Tartars built several large gardens in this direction, and they spent less time living in the Forbidden City in comparison.

It has been six months since Bailang came out of the capital, and there has been no disturbance in the court. Anyway, there are eight hundred miles a day to rush to Bailang, and Bailang has more than ten cavalry to send the documents back every day.Some of them were sent directly to various places without being sent back. Bailang was also the emperor who brought a set of secretaries with him, both inside and outside the court. "Okay! Now Shanxi and Henan are roughly under control!" As for the real complete control?Bailang didn't think about it at all.

If he can completely control the capital and the suburbs, he is already a heaven-defying emperor. In an era without radios and telephones, talking about control ability is a joke.Now, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan and Shanxi are under the control of Bailang's imperial power. With the current manpower and material resources of these four places, Bailang has the confidence to suppress the world again. With [-] elite soldiers who are fully fed and paid, there is nowhere in the world. go.

The [-] troops of the Ming Dynasty were barely passable in Bailang's view, and they were obviously inferior to the soldiers of the Tang Mansion in terms of fighting elites, let alone the elite Northern Army of the Han Dynasty.But it’s no problem to deal with the Mongols I saw before, and it’s the same if I want to deal with those soldiers in the inland. Only Qi Jiguang’s Zhejiang soldiers under Qi Jiguang’s elite can be counted—he hasn’t seen Li Chengliang’s soldiers in Liaodong. It’s hard to say, Zhejiang soldiers It's already pretty good.

It's just that Qi Jiguang is now a Marquis and emptied out. Even if Bailang didn't have the heart to punish him, he was accused by the civil servants who followed Bailang as a third party in the previous rebellion, but the punishment was all suppressed by Bailang. Be a short-term governor.Bailang is going to let him go out to lead the army if there is a war - this guy has at least three or four years to live, Bailang decided to take care of him after returning to Beijing, and try to add another ten years.

Now Qi Jiguang can still say that he is in the prime of life because he is in his 50s-of course, this is what will be said in later generations, and he is an old man these days. "Back to Beijing!" After dealing with everything, Wanli led the army back to Beijing. At this time, he had been away from the capital for eight months, and Concubine Zheng was also pregnant—this was Wanli's first child, so this concubine was taken away first. Sent back to the capital.I heard that Empress Dowager Li laughed from ear to ear. Before that, they had been worrying about Wanli's offspring.

Since one can get pregnant, the others are fine. The only problem is that the emperor is out of tune, fighting and killing all day without doing business. The empress dowager and civil servants think that the so-called business is to hide in the harem and engage in women. This is the emperor. It's the right thing to do, of course you can't say that on the surface.The emperor's martial arts is quite prosperous, and the martial arts is still uncertain, but a decree came first, "Kai Enke?"

Bailang decided to open Enke. It's not the cabinet's turn to talk to the Ministry of Rites. It's a great thing for the country to open Enke to recruit talented people. In fact, Bailang wants to recruit people who do things, so this year Enke must be facing the four under his control. A provincial tilt quota. "This session has exhausted Jiangnan scholars, and I will bear the burden of scolding!"
