I am the king of the dead

Chapter 341 The tax that your majesty does not collect, will the rebels also collect it?

Li Xian hurriedly came to the Nanjing Lecture Hall. Like Beijing, it was built from a broken temple.This is what Li Xian did...

The name here is Linggu Temple. It is a beamless hall. It is not a temple with a wooden structure, but a large hall made of bricks and stones, with an arch height of more than three feet.

When Sun Zhong entered Nanjing, there were rumors in the Nanya that Sun Zhong was good at paying homage to the Buddha and the monks. As soon as the news came out, countless monks rushed to the Nanya.

Li Xian expelled the monks from Nanya on the grounds that "there are many wandering people in all directions, and there is a shortage of soldiers who defend the war, and there are too many monks and Taoists.

Li Xian quoted the old story of the national teacher who expelled Dalongxing Temple, and persuaded everyone in the Advisory Council to complete this feat.

The reason is very simple, the monastery does not pay taxes, and there are too many monks and priests, which is not a good thing.

Finally, in this huge temple in Nanjing, the establishment of the Nanya Lecture Hall was completed.

When Li Xian arrived, all the military relatives and generals rushed to the lecture hall, their expressions were extremely frightened.

The emperor finally dispatched troops to the south and divided into two groups, heading straight to Henan and Shandong.

Wang Ji took a deep breath and said, "Xuzhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides and a river on one side. The Bian River runs from the west and the Surabaya River runs from the north. It has not changed for thousands of years."

"In the Xuzhou area, Pisu was introduced to the south, Yanji was controlled to the north, and Biansi was controlled to the west. The trend of a thousand miles was lost in order to protect the old and dangerous Jianghuai. Jinling relied on Xu as the throat of the north and the south."

"It is the key to the northern kingdom and the gateway to the southern kingdom. It has always been a strategic location that military strategists must contend for."

Xuzhou is located in a small basin. During the reign of Xuande, it was flooded because of the diversion of the Yellow River. At that time, the government and the people raised funds to move the city.

Wang Ji was still working on it.

He fought against the Confucians in terms of river defense, water transportation, warehouses, battle defense, people's livelihood, zoning, and cost, and finally determined that Xuzhou could not be moved.

This new city of Xu was rebuilt on the old site of Xuzhou and renamed Xuzhou.

It is a large city with a circumference of more than forty miles. The moat is more than three feet wide and the city wall is more than three feet high. Because of the stability of Bian and Surabaya, this city can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Guarding the Yangtze River must guard the Huai River, and guarding the Huai River must guard Xuzhou.

"There have been more than forty large-scale battles in the past dynasties. It is not difficult to discuss the right and wrong."

"In the 15th year of Xiaqi, Wu Guan rebelled against Xihe, Peng Boshou's commander conquered Xihe, and Wu Guan came back."

"In the 43rd year of Shang Wuding, Da Peng rebelled. Wu Ding ordered his wife Hao to lead the army to suppress the rebellion and punish Da Peng in Jiuli Mountain."

"In the 50th year of Wu Ding, Wei Guo rebelled again in the name of Da Peng's revenge. Fuhao conquered Pengcheng again, which is today's Xuzhou. Fuhao was shot in the middle, and died in the palace the next year."

"King Mu of Zhou ordered King Wen of Chu to attack Xu, and King Xu Yan was defeated. He gave his zaofu the city of Zhao. From this, he became the surname of Zhao.

"Chu and Han fought for hegemony. In the second year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, led an army of 56 out of Chencang, attacking the city and conquering the land for a thousand miles. It was here in Xuzhou that the Battle of Pengcheng broke out."

"Xiang Yu, with 56 troops, defeated the [-] Han army. Liu Bang escaped alone, and the Sui River did not flow. He sent the old and weak in Guanzhong to Xingyang, and the Han Dynasty was almost destroyed. Everyone was in panic."

Why is it said that Xiang Yu is the overlord of Chu? Who in this world can break through an army of 56 with [-]?
Wang Ji asked himself that since ancient times, there have been countless powerful generals in the world, who can be so brave?

After the battle of Pengcheng in the second year of the Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng besieged Liu Bang in Xingyang.

Fan Zeng was an important adviser to Xiang Yu. Fan Zeng said that Liu Bang would be destroyed directly, or Liu Bang would rebel.

But in the end, Xiang Yu suspected that Fan Zeng and Liu Bang were in collusion and self-destructed the Great Wall. Otherwise, who would win the battle between Chu and Han? Who can say?

Liu Bang finally said: "Xiang Yu has Fan Zeng but can't use it, and that's why I captured him."

The Great Han Ding Ding, Sima Qian offended Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty because of Li Ling's old affairs. According to the theory of success and defeat, how could Xiang Yu be able to enter the book of the king?
But Sima Qian wrote Xiang Yu in this book, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty just admitted it with his nose.

Because Xiang Yu deserves to be a bully!

Wang Ji took a deep breath and said: "It is on this ancient battlefield that the rise and fall of several dynasties have been determined, and the rise and fall of one dynasty and the decline of another, so there has been a saying in ancient times about aspiring to the Central Plains."

"Emperor Jingtai has strong troops and horses, abundant food and grass, and supplies are extremely simple. The capital's food and grass go down the canal, and it is almost impossible to run out of food. They carry new victories and go down the canal."

"So, I propose a quick battle! Fight from west to east from Xiao County, forcing the army to reach the Lingbi area! Completely wipe out the Suishui area."

Wang Ji pointed hard at the Kanyu map. He had been thinking about how to win for a long time.

Many military honors kept nodding.

Wang Ji said with certainty: "Captain Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu, you two will lead the Siwei Regiment camp to Xuzhou, and I will lead the Siwu Regiment camp to Xiao County."

Li Xian frowned, and finally couldn't help but stand up and said: "Your Majesty always moves after planning, the battle of the capital, from August [-] to discussing the strategy of retreating the enemy, until October to capture, prepare for two days." moon."

"In the battle of Xuanfu, Oala was fierce. Your Majesty discussed the battle of Xuanfu. He heard the news from the eighth day of the first lunar month and prepared until May."

"The Battle of Jining Hetao, Your Majesty has been preparing for more than a year since the first year of Jingtai, and only in the second year of Jingtai!"

"Dare to ask Uncle Jingyuan, Your Majesty has given you four full months to prepare for the conquest. What are you doing these four months?!"

"Eating, drinking and having fun!"

"How to defend Xuzhou is only determined now?! Are there many ways for your majesty to counter the rebellion? Since Xuzhou is so important? Why didn't you start preparing from the beginning of the rebellion?"

"I'm just going to set off now, heading to Xuzhou?! What about food? Rewards? Mobilization? Are you fighting a war or playing games!"

Li Xian was stunned. He thought that Wang Ji had solid confidence and a complete plan for not letting him intervene in military affairs.

Your Majesty has already gone to Jinkou, so he is going from Nanjing to Xuzhou?
He wished that His Majesty would rush to Nanjing as soon as possible, but this kind of strategy was too outrageous. When he was watching His Majesty's troops in the capital, how would he dare to do this?

His Majesty cherishes his soldiers very much, and always fights with the certainty of victory. He is used to the combat method of predicting the enemy from wide to the limit. He can't accept this kind of combat method of pressing the gourd to float the scoop. .

Isn't this bullshit?

"Ah?" Wang Ji was full of doubts and said, "I don't know where Emperor Jingtai's main attack will be. Of course, we will gather in the city of the capital and wait for Emperor Jingtai to drop a son, so we can deal with it. If Emperor Jingtai's main force goes to Xiangyang, what should we do?"

Li Xian understood.

How can there be any serious military affairs in this imperial court, the Nanya Lecture Hall is just a joke.

Dong Shi's imitation will only increase the jokes.

Your Majesty sits in the Beiya Lecture Hall all day long, what do you do with those subjects?
The defeat of the Xuanfu, the fall of the capital, the Northern Hunting of the Emperor, the martyrdom of the Emperor, the defeat of the Eastern Liaodong, the defeat of Jiannu, and so on.

That is a kind of lenient thought of anticipating the enemy, which is not possessed by this imperial court at all. Your Majesty is really cultivating generals in the martial arts lecture hall of the capital, and wants to strengthen martial arts.

In fact, when was the mobilization of troops during the Orthodox years not so hasty?

Four Northern Expeditions, four pacifications of Luchuan, and one conquest of Fujian. Among the nine wars, only the pacification of the Fujian rebellion has a decent appearance, and that is Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao's ability to lead troops.

As for the last Northern Expedition, all the six divisions beaten by Wala were lost, and the emperor was captured, which is also what it should have meant.

The inevitable result of promoting literature and martial arts is to regard military equipment as a trifling matter, and this pawn push is even more unreliable than His Majesty's pawn push on the chessboard.

Li Xian said no more, shook his sleeves and left.

The more they mess around, the faster your majesty will come.

Li Xian is currently in charge of the affairs of Qingtian Liding in the household department. He feels that with this credit, His Majesty will not kill his family.

Sun Zhong, Wang Ji, Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu, and Sun Jizong finally noticed something was wrong.

What Li Xian said seemed to make sense, this battle didn't seem to be fought like this.

"Old Li Ge!" Sun Jizong glanced at his father and hurriedly chased him out.

Li Xian sighed and said: "Scholar Sun, no way, you think I'm a scholar, I'll talk about military affairs, no way."

Li Xian suddenly had an idea, thought for a moment and said: "Then let me talk about it."

Li Xian returned to the conference hall of the lecture hall and said: "I have several strategies. The first strategy is to customize the rules of delivery. Those who are born or who are on horses are allowed to enter the Imperial Academy;"

"Where the military and civilians accept, or rice or millet or beans or grass or pommel horses, are also awarded crown belts;"

"Officials dismissed by the court for crimes can be reinstated if they pay the above-mentioned military salary. If they pay more than [-] shi, they will be awarded command envoys."

"We must ensure sufficient food and grass to prevent His Majesty from using bean cakes to persuade our sergeants to surrender."

Wang Ji frowned, of course it is not appropriate to sell an official, but what Li Xian was talking about was a real problem, the lack of food and grass.

Sun Zhong, Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu, Sun Jizong, Peng Chengbo, Hui Anbo and others did not understand the danger of selling officials and conferring titles. They have been doing this all the time. It's free.

They naturally didn't understand the indignation of the sergeants that "I get this by sacrificing my life, and they get this by losing beans, and the court treats evil like my life."

Why did His Majesty say that foreign relatives cannot be knighted without meritorious service, and relatives of relatives, such as Qi Wan and Zhou, are not allowed to be friends with Khan and Ma Yuxun?

That's why.

The sergeant risked his life for meritorious deeds, and Nabujuan and Miliang could be knighted. Who would work hard?

Li Xian is completely hitting the morale of the army.

But except for Wang Ji, the rest of the people didn't feel wrong at all.

The reality is that there is not enough food and grass.

Such an outrageous decree of selling officials and nobles can be passed. Li Xian said with a smile: "The second policy, the Great Ming law: folk money and food, to be delivered in person. Those who have sex will be severely punished and have no family."

"There are many rogues in the official residences, military and civilians in Beijing, who go to the suburbs of Beijing to try to lure the senders and take the money."

The Ming Dynasty strictly forbids all the purchases. This is also a place that has been criticized and indignant by the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. How can it be so strict?

"What did you send over? I am in the household department, and the grain is mixed with soil, and the grass is watered. The thick cloth and silk are thin and loose, and the silver is intact, but it is broken and soft."

"Grain mixed with soil, rotten grass, thin cloth, soft rotten silver, if you send it to Xuzhou, will anyone want it?"

"So it is strictly forbidden to take over everything, everything is collected by the department, and the official is closed and the official is released. It is not allowed to take over, otherwise it will be considered a crime!"

Li Xian said it nicely, after the prohibition of monopoly, with the operating ability of Nan Ya, can it be solved by the government?
Obviously not.

Scholars, when you roll your eyes, you have an idea. This is a chain.

Prohibition of monopoly seems to be a good idea, but it is actually a decree that is not easy to implement at the moment, and there will be a period of chaos.

By the time it really works, the battle will be over long ago.

After His Majesty entered Nanjing and rectified the administration of officials, the government of Nanya and the usurpers had to be dismissed. Isn’t it legal and reasonable for Zhengshuo to inherit the officials?
And it's still available.

Why is Li Xian so tricked?
Because these people don't know what it means to make a decision based on judgment. Isn't it normal for them to make decisions without investigation?

Not to mention the Nan Ya, the Bei Ya was also proposed by Yu Shaobao, and only after His Majesty repeatedly emphasized that it began to make a decision.

As for the stupid pigs in Nanya, if they want to have this political awareness, wouldn't it be good to go to Beiya?
Li Xian continued: "Article [-], Nanjing's noble gentry intends to invade the home of the powerful and right, which will benefit the country and cause harm to the people. They should take all the collapsed houses of the Nanya official store under their name. Collect money on a quarterly basis to pay for the military."

The city of Nanjing is more than 75 miles away. In such a big city, there will naturally be houses that collapse. After the collapse, it must be built. How to build it?
Can't build.

The gentry in Nanjing and the family of powerful nobles specialize in this business.

In fact, if this incident can be traced back, it should be Zhao Gou, the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, who controlled the real estate.

The number of roads is the same.

After the house collapsed, Xiaomin asked people to rebuild it, but all the masons in Nanjing City were in the hands of the gentry and powerful families. How to manage so many masons?
It sounds like an impossible thing, but after Li Xian's visit, he realized how simple it is!
How can there be earth, stone and wood in the city to build?

Buying off the soldiers and horses of the five cities, the soldiers and horses of the five cities control the nine gates, and all the earth, rocks and trees that enter the city, without the trust card of the noble family, it is absolutely impossible to enter the city.

Therefore, if the house collapsed, it could only be sold to the Jinshen Haoyou Family at a low price.

After the construction of the Jinshen Haoyou House, the house was rented out at a high price and made a fortune.

Translation Translation is the wealth creation myth of real estate.

Li Xian's idea seems to be for military pay, but it is actually to clarify how much property these guys have.

When His Majesty went to Beijing to search the house, he also saved Lu Zhong from going around with his eagle and dog.

He did the job first.

After everyone listened, they looked left and right, and kept nodding their heads. It was Li Xian who could do things like pay the army.

Why did Sun Zhong and the others agree?They are noble relatives, and the business of collapsed houses is not their business scope, that is the business scope of the nobles and nobles.

What Li Xian said does not involve their interests...

"Boss Li Ge is really a great talent." Sun Zhong nodded repeatedly: "If you have no doubts, then do it like this!"

Only Xie Lian, who represented the noble family in the south, had a pale face.

This is their business scope!
He wanted to object, but the knife was in his hand.

The rebels also have to collect taxes that His Majesty does not collect? !
How can there be such a reason in the world? !
Xie Lian suddenly discovered that His Majesty was actually quite reasonable, at least he was not as deviant as the rebels.

Your Majesty is the emperor, inherited by Zheng Shuo, and there are some things that His Majesty can't do so well.

But the rebels don't care about yours. Ensuring that the army is well-fed is the top priority.

Although the ultimate goal of this rebellion is a bit towards the trend of "the rebellion succeeds if you laugh your majesty to death", the conspirators still hold their swords firmly.

After all, there are very few people like Zhu Qizhen who hand over the important military and political affairs of reviewing military horses every day.

"Then it's settled?" Li Xian finished writing the political statement of the Advisory Council and looked at Wang Ji.

Wang Ji nodded. The army he represents, if the army is not full, who will fight for you?
Li Xian looked at Sun Zhong again. Sun Zhong represented the Three Princes' House and his relatives. Sun Zhong nodded and said, "I have no objection."

Li Xian looked at Xie Lian, the spokesperson of the wealthy and powerful family.

Xie Lian is a mute who eats Coptis chinensis. He can't tell what he has to do. He can only take a deep breath and say, "I have no objection."

"Then send it to Qianqing Palace for approval by the supervisor." Li Xian said in Luoyin.

Li Xian was full of smiles. Once these three strategies were implemented, he didn't know whether the food and grass would be sufficient, but he knew that some people's life would be difficult.

Li Xian is not afraid that these guys will find out that he is making trouble.

Not to mention whether they have the brains, if they find out the tricks inside, what can they do if they find out?

At most, if he was killed, he could still gain the reputation of a loyal and righteous man of the Ming Dynasty.

His Majesty will kill him when he arrives in Nan Ya, and these guys will kill him, isn't it the same?

Although His Majesty said that one can avoid death by making extraordinary achievements, the standard of extraordinary achievements depends entirely on His Majesty's mood.

His Majesty is extremely wary of literati, even prejudiced.

With His Majesty's dislike for traitors, how could he survive?

However, His Majesty seldom pursued his family members. He only hoped that he would make some contributions so that his family members could survive.

If the rebels killed him, he believed that His Majesty would never embarrass his family.
