Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 409 Self-Recommended Pillow Seat
It was beyond Chongzhen's expectation that Qin Liangyu valued Li Xiangjun so much.

But after thinking about it carefully, Chongzhen also guessed Qin Liangyu's intentions. This is really a mature person, so he started to plan for the future of the Qin and Ma families?
Li Xiangjun is really a big backer.

After all, she is Chongzhen's favorite concubine.

However, Chongzhen was a little reluctant to leave Li Xiangjun in Huguang.

"Is the Holy Majesty reluctant to part with Li Xiangjun?" Qin Liangyu persuaded, "When I was reading the historical records, I heard that Qin Shihuang would always accept his concubines, princesses, ladies and beauties into the harem every time he destroyed a country. The Holy Majesty is also a hero of the generation. In the future, it will be impossible to destroy the country, so why worry about not being accompanied by beautiful women?"

"Beloved concubine and general, which of the two is more important, the Lord Fu Wang will clearly observe."

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, the Holy Majesty will not stay in Nanjing all the time, and Xiangjun will not guard Huguang for a long time. In the future, when the Holy Majesty recruits soldiers from Huguang Town to fight for the country, Xiangjun will be able to serve you again."

"Okay." Chongzhen said helplessly, "As requested by old General Qin."

"The old minister kowtowed to thank you for your grace." Qin Liangyu was overjoyed and wanted to kneel down to thank him again.

Chongzhen supported him again, shook his head and said, "The old general will not kneel down again from now on."

Qin Liangyu fulfilled his intention, and left happily, leaving Chongzhen alone in a sense of loss, and leaving Li Xiangjun in Huguang, he would have to live a bachelor's life again.

At this time, Gao Qi sneaked in and reported: "Long Live Lord, Rongmei Xuanfu Si Tianxuan is asking to see you."

"No." Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "You tell him for me that when the more than 4 local soldiers from the Shi Nanxuanfu Division bring the family to Changde Mansion, I will let them go. It is impossible to let them go now. of."

"Long Live Lord, Tian Xuan is not for this matter." Gao Qiqian said in a low voice, "It's for the sake of the Holy One."

"What did you say?" Chongzhen almost suspected that his ears had auditory hallucinations, "Tian Xuan wants to come to say goodbye for me?"

Gao Qiqian shrank his neck in fright, and said in a low voice: "Tian Xuan said so, but the old slave doesn't know exactly what's going on, if Long Live Lord thinks it's inappropriate, the old slave will let people drive him away. "

"Don't chase him away, what's the point of driving him away." Chongzhen said with a smile, "Just let him in."

Gao Qiqian quickly led Tian Xuan in, and as usual first paid homage to Chongzhen.

"Tian Xuan, I heard that you want to marry me?" Chongzhen asked with a smile, "Whose girl?"

Tian Xuandao: "Hui Sheng said that this woman is none other than Shi Nanxuan Fushi, Ran Sanniang."

Ran Sanniang's graceful figure immediately appeared in Chongzhen's mind, and he asked with a smile, "Tian Xuan, is this what you mean, or what Ran Sanniang means?"

Tian Xuandao: "It's Sanniang's own intention, the old minister is just talking about matchmaking."

"Hehe, that's interesting." Chongzhen asked with a smile, "Ran Sanniang was not a good envoy for Shi Nanxuan. Why did she want to enter the palace and become a concubine? Doesn't she feel that she is at a loss?"

Tian Xuan sighed and said, "Why should the Holy Majesty lie to the old minister, San Niang, the Shi Nan Xuan Fu envoy, and the old minister, the Rongmei Xuan Fu envoy, I'm afraid they won't be able to serve for a few days, right?"

"Presumptuous!" Gao Qiqian shouted sharply, "How can you talk to Lord Long Live?"

"Gao Banban, let people talk, let people talk, and the sky will not fall." Chongzhen was not angry this time, but waved his hand and said to Tian Xuan, "Old General Tian is worrying too much, you are Rongmei Xuanfu now. In the future, you will still be the envoy of Rongmei Xuanfu, and your eldest son and eldest grandson will always be the envoy of Rongmei Xuanfu."

Chongzhen's words were somewhat beyond Tian Xuan's expectation.

But Tian Xuan is also about 60 years old, so he reacted quickly.

Tian Xuan asked: "Is your majesty planning to move us chieftains to Nanjing?"

"Old General Tian is right in his words." Chongzhen laughed, "After the conversion of the chieftains, all the chieftains moved to Nanjing to resettle.

Tian Xuan immediately said: "My lord, as long as you affirm that Naran Sanniang is the imperial concubine, our thirteen chieftains in Shinan are willing to fully cooperate with the court to reform the land and return it to the people."

Chongzhen looked at Tian Xuan, but did not rush to answer.

Tian Xuan's or Ran Sanniang's thoughts are actually no different from Qin Liangyu's, they are all for their respective families.

Originally, if they could continue to stay in the local area as chieftains, they definitely hoped to continue to be chieftains. Gold nests and silver nests are not as good as grass nests. How can moving to Nanjing to be a rich man be as happy as staying in the local area to be a local emperor?

But now, it is no longer realistic to want to stay in the local area as a chieftain. Judging from the treatment of Guangxi and Yunnan by the Holy One, it can be seen that he is determined to change the land and return to the local people, sooner or later.

So this matter will have to be faced sooner or later.

Rebellion, armed resistance and reformation is courting death.

They have already seen the fighting power of the new army of Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, there are a full 27 such new troops, and there will be more in the future!
Therefore, resistance is definitely a dead end, and the most sensible approach is to strive for more benefits.

Especially to seek a guarantee for one's own family, otherwise, after arriving in Nanjing, it would be fish on the chopping board, allowing others to slaughter at will.

Therefore, Ran Sanniang moved her thoughts on the pillow.

As long as she, Ran Sanniang, became the imperial concubine, Shi Nan's Qin family and the Ran family would become royal relatives, and those honorable gentry in Nanjing would not dare to manipulate them easily, and other Shi Nan chieftain families could also be taken care of by the Tan family and the Ran family.

Here are all calculations of interests, Chongzhen would not naively think that just relying on his male strength, he could easily conquer Ran Sanniang, a pretty widow and beautiful lady.

Well, since it is a calculation of interests, it is in business.

It's okay for Naran Sanniang to be a concubine, isn't it just a lot of women in the harem.

At that moment, Chongzhen asked with a smile: "Old General Tian, ​​do women of your Tujia nationality have to have a dowry when they get married?"

"Of course there is a dowry." Tian Xuan hurriedly said, "This time Sanniang's entry into the palace is equivalent to the Qin family and the Ran family marrying daughters at the same time. Both families will have a rich dowry, and the veterans and other chieftains will also have congratulations." instrument."

"I'm actually not greedy." Chongzhen said to himself as if he didn't hear it, "Although Shizhouwei is said to be a little remote and the land is really barren, if the Tan family and the Ran family take out the Zhuangtian under their name as a dowry , and Old General Tian and other chieftains also used Zhuang Tian under his name as a congratulatory ceremony, and I will not think too little of it."

"Ah?" Tian Xuan stared at Chongzhen dumbfounded, feeling his head buzzing.

Let the Tan family and the Ran family take out the Zhuang Tian under their name as a dowry?Want other chieftains to take out Zhuangtian as a congratulatory ceremony?
Dog emperor, you have to show some face, how can you be like this, aren't you a bright robber?Not too little?
Immediately Tian Xuan said with a dark face: "Your Majesty, although Shizhouwei is remote and barren, those farmlands were saved by our ancestors for generations, so can't we keep them?"

As long as these farmlands are kept, even if they move to Nanjing, they can still send people over to collect the rent.

Without these farmlands, their families would have no income after moving to Nanjing, and they would inevitably be sitting on nothing.

"Old General Tian, ​​there is no room for change in this matter." Chongzhen's expression suddenly turned cold. Donate the farmland under the chieftain's name, so I am afraid that the land under the name of each chieftain can no longer be retained."

After a pause, he continued: "However, as long as your various chieftains in Shinan can actively cooperate with the imperial court to reform the land, the imperial court can consider giving certain compensations as appropriate, such as one tael of silver per mu."

Tian Xuan's face darkened instantly, one tael of silver per mu, isn't that still robbery?

"Old General Tian should go back and discuss with the other chieftains first, and it will not be too late to reply to me after the discussion is over. Anyway, I am not in a hurry." Chongzhen said with a slight smile, "In addition, I would like to remind you kindly that we are here. You don’t have to worry about sitting and eating in Nanjing, there are a lot of profitable businesses in Nanjing, and with the wealth accumulated by your ancestors for generations, even if you deposit money in a bank to earn interest, the family can live comfortably.”

Hearing this, Tian Xuan's heart suddenly froze.

Good fellow, why does His Majesty's words sound like a threat?

It means that if you cooperate obediently, you will be able to keep your family's wealth anyway.

But if they don't cooperate, not only the land property, but also the accumulated wealth will not be preserved.

Immediately Tian Xuan said: "Your Majesty, let the old minister go back and discuss with Ran Sanniang and other chieftains before returning."

"Go." Chongzhen said with a smile, "I will definitely return to the camp before tomorrow evening, and it will not be too late for you to come by then."

After sending Tian Xuan away, Chongzhen ordered to the outside of the tent: "Jiong'er, summon Yi Ding to go to Baling with his father, and finally have some free time. Let father and son go to visit Yueyang Tower and remember the ancients."

Never thinking of Zhu Cijiong, he said: "Father, forget it, my son doesn't like to visit historical sites."

"Aren't you going?" Chongzhen said angrily, "Jiong'er, you can't eat hot tofu if you're impatient, and you can't become a famous general if you study military books in the dark like this. When it's time to relax, you still have to relax."

Among the treasures copied from Ergelong Laozhai are many ancient books, including books on warfare.

After Zhu Cijiong saw these military books, he immediately plunged into them as if he had found a treasure.

As long as there is nothing wrong now, Zhu Cijiong must be reading military books, and he can't put it down.

Obviously, Zhu Cijiong has been influenced by Chongzhen and has developed a strong interest in military affairs.

Interest is the best teacher. Because of his interest in the military, Zhu Cijiong had a very strong desire to read all historical materials and military books related to the military.

Seeing this, Chongzhen immediately lost the mood to pay tribute to the historic site.

Wang Fuzhi was also called to discuss the matter of punishing grain merchants.

Chongzhen didn't want to simply kill him, it was too low-level to do so.

Chongzhen wanted to use high-end business methods to teach all merchants in Ming Dynasty a bloody lesson.

"Wang Fuzhi, find your clan brother." Chongzhen said, "I said that I would secretly cooperate with him to make a grain hegemony, and let him recruit other grain merchants to eat all the private surplus grain in Huguang at a high price."
