Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 172
The side door opened wide, and Miaoxian walked in a little timidly, but also a little joyfully.

"Meet the princess!"

"Girl please get up."

Sun Xueniang hurriedly took her hand and said eagerly.

This woman is half a head taller than ordinary women, about five feet four inches, which is no different from ordinary men.

She has a graceful figure, undulating waves, extremely stunning appearance, and exudes a cool feeling all over her body, which makes people want to find out.

No wonder His Highness was so fascinated, it turned out that it really should not be underestimated.

Sun Damiana also dropped her jaw in shock, stopped speaking, and remained silent.

Such a beautiful woman, in her impression, few people can compare.

"I really want to make friends with her!"

Looking at her peak, which is better than her sister, Sun Damianang couldn't help saying eagerly.

Hanyang Palace, also because of the arrival of one more person, many things have been added inside and outside the palace.

……

Similarly, Zhu Yixi is facing a lot of tests in the Shu Palace.

Each of the court ladies was selected by the King of Shu thousands of times. Zhang Xianzhong wanted to make it his palace, but before he could do anything, he was suddenly defeated.

Now, as the king of Hanyang, Zhu Yixi is only the king of the county at any time, but it is only natural for him to live in the mansion of the king of Shu.

All the maids and maids were dressed in thin gauze skirts, revealing the charming mountains and waves, which made him a little restless.

However, he finally understands that now is the critical period for taking control of Sichuan, and reputation is very important, and he must not be greedy for beauty.

Maybe outside the palace, thousands of people are staring at it.

"You all go down!"

For Wang Tu's hegemony, His Royal Highness the King of Hanyang finally endured.

"Obey!" The maids left one by one full of disappointment.

That wave of wolf-like eyes just now really made him take a deep breath.

Like the imperial palace, the palace of the Shu princes does not see men, and the hunger and thirst in it can be seen.

Endure it all night.

The next day, in the name of rectifying Chengdu City, Zhu Yixi carried out cleaning in the whole Chengdu.

Just like Xiangyang City, first clean up the garbage in the city, and then clean up all the hooligans.

After that, it is to rectify the generals from all over Sichuan.

Relying on the great prestige of defeating the western thieves, Zhu Yixi unceremoniously cut through the mess, and directly reorganized the Sichuan army who surrendered.

To put it bluntly, it is to weed out the old and the weak, mess up the generals, and finally, give out rewards wantonly.

Without the last item, everything in front is just floating clouds.

Here, I would like to thank the King of Shu, more than 200 years of accumulation, it is simply a big gift bag.

The ones who are eliminated will have settling allowances, and the ones left will be rewarded with wine and meat.

For those generals, Zhu Yixi kept them all and integrated them into the staff department.
According to the plan, half of them will be eliminated.

And this villain is naturally the soon-to-be governor of Sichuan, Wang Yingxiong.

This is also his nomination certificate.

Zhu Yixi, on the other hand, personally sat in the palace of the king of Shu and counted the property of the king of Shu.

There are dozens of boxes of ledgers alone.

Zhu Mou was shocked, and led the officials of the General Staff Department to look at the general.

Two full days later, Zhu Mou said in shock: "Your Highness, according to the calculations in the ledger, nearly [-]% of the land in the huge Chengdu Mansion belongs to the King of Shu."

"Seventy percent?" Zhu Yixi was really shocked. He took a deep breath and said, "If my guess is correct, many of them are contributions, right?"

"That's right!"

Zhu Mou nodded and said: "The land is owned by the Shu King's Mansion, but the tenants have the permanent tenancy rights. Nearly half of the people in Chengdu Mansion have to pay the land rent to the Shu King."

This is handed down from the Tang and Song Dynasties, that is, the field skin and the field bone.

The land skin is the permanent tenancy right, that is, the right to use. When the people sell the land to the gentry, they need to pay the land rent to the gentry, so they will not be displaced.

Those who have land ownership are called Tian Gu.

For them, it doesn't matter who the land needs to be cultivated anyway.

The maturity of field bone and field skin is also the reason for the popularity of dedication in the Ming Dynasty.

The common people only need to pay the rent, and do not need to bear heavy taxes and corvees, while the gentry get the land for free, and both are happy.

The biggest loss is the court.

Lost a lot of taxes.

"So, how much land rent can I get every year?"

Zhu Yixi quickly assumed the role and asked in a deep voice.

"The specific number of farms is no less than a thousand, and the land is counted in [-] hectares. If you count last year, this autumn, you can get a million stones of rice."

"Million Stones!!!"

Zhu Yixi squinted her eyes and fell into happiness.

Compared with public land, these belong to their own private property.

Zhu Yixi still understands the distinction between public and private.

He didn't plan to divide the land in Chuanzhong either.

The land is owned by the owner, and once it is distributed, it will lead to land disputes.

However, Huguang is sparsely populated and needs to develop production, so it is most suitable for dividing the land.

In this way, he can only accept it with a smile.

A few days later, when Zhu Yixi was intoxicated, the civil and military men in Chengdu were planning to unite to appeal to the court for King Hanyang.

This is not only needed by the king of Hanyang, but also by their civil and military counterparts. If the boss is not promoted, how dare you ask for an official?
Wang Yingxiong is more active and keeps connecting.

Seeing it, Zhu Yixi chose to remain silent.

The difference between the prince and the county king is a world of difference.

Throughout Daming, there are hundreds of county kings, and only a few dozen princes.

Being promoted to the prince represents the promotion of his status in the royal family and the promotion of his prestige.

"Declare to the world!"

Zhu Yixi said to Sun Changzhou: "Let the world know that this Sichuan was recovered by me, Zhu Yixi."

"It was just a small fight before, but now I have revealed my true skills."

"As ordered!"

Sun Changzhou focused, this is using public opinion to force the Nanjing court to make a decision, which is more powerful than Zuo Liangyu's coercion before.

Invisible knives are often sharper.

"The western thief is nothing to worry about. You can send someone to Guanzhong to see what kind of regulations Li Zicheng, a defeated dog, is."

Injured dogs tend to bite more.

Historically, Li Zicheng went to Huguang, and I don't know what to choose at this time?
"Why are you forcing me?"

In the Palace of the King of Shu, a girl, Lihua, wept with rain.

"Girl, it's all for your own good."

Yang Le, the eunuch in charge of the Shu Palace, put on a tiger face, and couldn't help reprimanding: "You are the most handsome in the palace. If you don't give this body to the king, you still want to go out of the palace?"

"You know, if the King of Hanyang is dissatisfied, hundreds of us will all leave the palace and be eaten alive."

"but I……"

The girl was smeared with rouge and powder, and was put on gorgeous and close-fitting clothes. The red bellyband was slightly propped up, which was extra alluring.

The palm-sized oval face is full of bitterness. Looking into the mirror with her beautiful eyes, she is a graceful girl with white teeth biting her vermilion lips. Facing the current situation, she is weak and powerless.

When she thought of a tall man who was eight feet tall, jumping at her, her heart almost broke.

"Girl, this is for you and everyone!"

An old nun, while putting on makeup for her, said softly: "In the past few days, the King of Hanyang doesn't touch women, and he doesn't lie to us. There is really nothing we can do about it."

"But, I was selected by His Royal Highness the King of Shu and will be included."

The girl said weakly: "The betrothal gifts are all collected in the family. He is supposed to be the king of Shu. I want to keep the festival for him."

"If it is, if it is, then it is infidelity."

"You don't have a bridal chamber yet, what festival do you observe?"

The old mother smiled, knowing that she was from a scholar's family, she couldn't help admonishing her: "For our work, it's not just you, even the princess and princess, we have to get it."

"Take it easy, you are lucky to be favored by the King of Hanyang."
