Wang Ruxian on the side heard this and nodded in agreement.

"Here!"

"Your Highness is brilliant!"

For the current Daming, rectifying the taxation, clearing up the land and acres, and checking the local Dingkou are all placed in front of Zhu Hongyu and have to be done.

As a ruler, Zhu Hongyu didn't even know how many people, how much land, how much tax he could collect, and how many soldiers he could levy under his rule.

Then, he is not far from Wanduzi!
The reason why he didn't do it before was not because he didn't want to do it, but because Zhu Hongyu didn't have the time or energy to do it.

He wants to focus his energy on the war against the Manchus.

But now that the war is temporarily suspended, Da Ming will start to recuperate, and he will naturally be able to transfer his energy from military affairs to government affairs.

Before the imperial examination officially begins, he will start to organize the place.

For example, things such as checking Dingkou, clearing the acres of land, and rectifying taxes must be implemented in place.

And the sweet jujube of the imperial examination is Zhu Hongyu's comfort to those whose interests have been harmed.

You are obedient, let the imperial court check Dingkou, clear Zhang Tianmu, and rectify taxes and give you more places in the imperial examination.

If you are disobedient, don't take the imperial examination!

Guhui will give places to those who are willing to obey and cooperate!

Anyway, the most important thing in the current Ming Dynasty is people who want to be officials.

The official hat is there, who is it not for?
Why didn't Zhu Hongyu give the official title to those obedient people, but to those who made trouble for him everywhere?
Zhu Hongyu is not mean!
Zhu Hongyu looked at Wang Ruxian, and asked again.

"Recently, how is the clearing of Zhang Tianmu and Dingkou, as well as the rectification of taxes?"

His decree has been promulgated, but Zhu Hongyu is not clear about the specific effect.

Therefore, he needs to ask.

Wang Ruxian said.

"Due to the serious shortage of officials in Ming Dynasty, these decrees are currently only implemented in Nanjing, Guangzhou, Qiongzhou and other places."

"If Your Highness wants to expand the scope of enforcement, we still have to wait until the imperial examinations are over and there will be enough officials to supplement Daming's administrative team!"

"Currently, Guangzhou and Qiongzhou are too far away, so there is no specific news yet."

"However, judging from the feedback received near Nanjing, His Highness's decree has indeed been implemented."

"Whether it's the officials of the Ming Dynasty or the local landlords and gentry, there are very few who dare to resist His Highness's decree."

Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.

"Of course!"

"Actually, it goes without saying that Gu also knows about the situation in Nanjing. Nanjing is right under Gu's nose. What can happen?"

"If you want to rectify the place alone, the biggest resistance is still the local state capital!"

Zhu Hongyu has always been sober.

There are tens of thousands of elite Ming troops who have just finished the decisive battle in the south of the Yangtze River stationed in the city of Nanjing now.

Who would dare to give Zhu Hongyu eye drops around Nanjing City?
Are you really not afraid of death?
It is really possible to play tricks on Zhu Hongyu, or other small tricks.

In fact, it is the local state capital!
For those local state capitals, even if Zhu Hongyu used the imperial examination as a bargaining chip, he was worried that his decrees would be violated. …

After thinking about it, Zhu Hongyu suddenly said.

"How about letting the literate officers and soldiers in the army go to other places to do this?"

Compared with civil servants, Zhu Hongyu obviously has more trust in the Liberation Army he founded.

Among other things, just being loyal, the army can completely defeat the civil servants!

Zhu Hongyu can trust the Liberation Army 100%, but he cannot trust the civilian officials 100%, this is the best proof.

Besides, Zhu Hongyu promotes literacy in the army, apart from wanting to increase the combat effectiveness of the army and facilitate ideological education, isn't it for the present?
In extreme cases, the military can be allowed to take over local government affairs and replace the role of civil servants!
Wang Ruxian was obviously taken aback when he heard the words, but he still spoke.

"Your Highness, it's not that time yet!"

"At present, it should be possible to let officials to rectify the local area. The many decrees of my Ming Dynasty did not harm the interests of the local area too much."

"Those people in the local area will not betray Daming just because of such a trivial matter!"

"It's not time for the army to take over the place!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly when he heard the words, expressing his agreement.

Letting the army take over the place is a backstop for helplessness and a means of suppressing the bottom of the box.

You can't just let the army take over the place if something goes wrong!
At this moment, a messenger ran in from outside, presented a memorial to Zhu Hongyu, and said.

"Your Highness, this is from the north about the recent movements of the Qing court!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, flipped through the report, and looked at the contents of the report, Zhu Hongyu couldn't help frowning.

There have been many movements in the Qing court recently!

Needless to say, the aftermath of the Jiangnan War, what surprised Zhu Hongyu the most was that the Manchu Qing actually invested a certain amount of manpower and material resources outside the pass, and began to prepare for the reclamation outside the pass.

It seems that the Qing court is already mentally prepared to be untenable in the Central Plains!
In addition, it is the Qing court's response to Wu Sangui's proclaiming emperor.

One is to send troops from the capital, mobilize the Eight Banners soldiers with a scale of [-] people, and march westward, preparing to conquer Guanzhong.

And mobilize heavy troops from Shanxi, Henan and other places near Guanzhong to prepare for the battle in Guanzhong.

The second is to appoint Fei Yanggu as the governor of Liangjiang and rush to Jiangbei to take office.

Looking at the second message, Zhu Hongyu was a little puzzled.

Is the Qing court planning to go to war with Daming and Wu Sangui?

Otherwise, why did the Qing government appoint Fei Yanggu as governor of Liangjiang, and go to Jiangbei to take charge of military affairs in Liangjiang?

Didn't the Qing court know that Fei Yanggu's son died at the hands of Daming?
Or is it that the Qing court felt that the defeat in the Jiangnan War was not miserable enough, instead of learning a lesson, it became even more inflated!
Do you think it's boring to single out Da Ming, why do you want Da Ming and Wu Sangui to fight him in groups?
Is it so owed?
After thinking about it, Zhu Hongyu couldn't figure out what the Qing court did.

He even began to suspect that Wu Sangui's ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor was just a double play with the Qing court?
On the surface, Wu Sangui fell out with the Qing court, but secretly he was preparing to join hands with the Qing court to ambush him, Zhu Hongyu!
This thing is not impossible!

After all, as the saying goes, the east is clear and the west is clear, but in the final analysis it is my Qing Dynasty!

After much deliberation, Zhu Hongyu said.

"Call the generals to discuss!"

Wang Ruxian took the order to retreat, and after a while, Zhu Hongyu's order was conveyed.

A Ming army general who was still in Nanjing gathered at Zhu Hongyu's temporary residence, and then waited in the study for Zhu Hongyu to be summoned.

Not long after, Zhu Hongyu walked over wearing a neat military uniform.

The black riding boots, the white gloves on his hands, and the saber around his waist all added a lot of heroic temperament to him.
