I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 137 The Fame Case That Shocked the World
"I heard that you hired a talent today!"

In the evening, in Zhu Di's bedroom.

While flipping through Zhu Zhangui's memorials approved in the past two days, Zhu Di asked casually.

Lying on the small table next to him, Zhu Zhangui, who was still working hard, nodded.

"It should not be called a talent, but a talent for governing the world. His ability is not inferior to San Yang, and even higher than them."

Zhu Di became interested, closed the memorial in his hand and said curiously: "Is it really so powerful? Then I want to take a look, call him over tomorrow, and I will help you investigate."

Zhu Zhangui didn't look up and said: "I can't come anymore, I will send him to Peiping, and he will be the prime minister."

Zhu Di: ...

Don't you mean the talent of governing the world?If you don't keep it for your subordinates, why send it to raise horses?
This ability to rule the world can't be the ability to raise horses, right?
"This person is too bookish, and he hasn't polished it well yet, so he is not suitable for being an official to govern the region for the time being."

"And I plan to train him to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, so I want him to hone in the army and increase his knowledge of the army. After the Northern Expedition is over, he will be arranged elsewhere."

After Zhu Zhangui said so, Zhu Di never asked again.

"If you haven't cultivated it well, then cultivate it slowly, and when it's almost finished, bring it here for me to have a look."

After the father and son finished talking about Yu Qian, Zhu Di tapped the memorial in his hand.

"What do you think of Fujian's request to form a Japanese army?"

Zhu Zhangui stopped the pen in his hand, thought for a while, and replied: "If all goes well, the war in the north may end at the end of the year."

"When our class teacher returns to the court, I will be busy with the Japanese pirates. My plan is to settle the Japanese pirates within a year."

"Since I went and there was a naval inspection, my grandson decided to reject it."

Zhu Di nodded, picked up the ink pen and drew a cross on the memorial.

"Sinan's advice from you is very good, but I don't think it's enough."

Zhu Di got up and walked towards a large map hanging on the wall. Zhu Zhangui also put down his pen and followed.

The two came to the side of the Daming map, and Zhu Di drew a big circle in the area of ​​Yunnan and Guizhou.

"There are chieftains everywhere here. Although they are under the control of the imperial court in name, they are actually self-made, and conflicts often arise."

"My idea is to take advantage of this opportunity to settle this place in one fell swoop, so that this area will be completely under the rule of the imperial court, and there will be no more troubles with chieftains."

Zhu Zhangui looked at the map and was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Since you want to solve it, Grandpa, you can't just send troops to fight, we have to take two steps."

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhangui expectantly, expecting his grandson to come up with a perfect idea.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Zhangui pointed to the map and said, "My idea is to divide the relationship between chieftains and ordinary villagers. Let's thoroughly grasp these ordinary villagers from the basics and make these chieftains lonely."

"In the past, when the imperial court appeased these native villages, they rewarded their chiefs and chieftains. Ordinary villagers did not get any real benefits at all."

"This makes ordinary villagers have no sense of belonging to the imperial court."

"Their chieftains took the rewards from the imperial court and rewarded these ordinary villagers in their own name to buy the hearts of ordinary villagers. This caused ordinary villagers to only know the chieftain and the chieftain, but not The phenomenon of the imperial court."

Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction.

Zhu Zhangui continued: "If we buy these ordinary villagers and let them enjoy the favor from the imperial court, their hearts will naturally turn to the imperial court, and we can proceed to the second step."

"How's that?"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhangui expectantly.

Zhu Zhangui smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Beat the chieftain, respect the folk customs, move the Han people, and forge faith!"

Zhu Zhangui expressed the plan for the second step in 12 words.

Zhu Di closed his eyes and thought about the 12 words, then he laughed out of satisfaction.

"Hahaha, good!"

"Who do you think is better to let this matter go?"

These 12 words seem simple, but if you want to do it, if you want to get it done, you must have a capable person in charge of it.

Zhu Zhangui thought about it and felt that Yu Qian was very suitable.

Historically, Yu Qian served as a magistrate in too many places, and his performance was very good.

Fighting corrupt officials and punishing corrupt officials, rehabilitating the wronged people, and pulling people's hearts for the court.

He himself is a clean and honest official, and his bones are even harder.

Will not be bribed and intimidated live.

The chieftain needs both kindness and power, and more importantly, an official who is in charge of the people.

Moreover, he can lead troops to fight when necessary, which is really suitable for Yu Qian.

"Yu Qian, the person you wanted to see just now."

Zhu Di had never met Yu Qian before, so he didn't know his character and ability.

But he trusted Zhu Zhangui very much.

Since Zhu Zhangui said that Yu Qian is suitable, then this person is definitely very suitable.

"Okay, it's settled for now. I'll look back at this man. If there's no problem, let him make some contributions on the battlefield. After Beizheng returns, he will be appointed governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and let him take charge of this matter."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di thought of something and asked Zhu Zhangui: "I remember his cousin is the girl who followed you?"

Zhu Zhangui nodded quickly.

"We have recommended such a great talent to the imperial court. We can't treat her badly. If the person you are talking about is Yu Qian, she really has such great talent. When you canonize her later, raise her status to concubine level. "

"The grandson has thanked grandpa on behalf of Qingyao."

After talking about the matter in the south, Zhu Di's face darkened, and he pointed to the north.

"Mahamu, an old bastard, was stationed at the Ma River in the sixth day of junior high school. It seems that he wants to enter the customs to make a fortune."

"This old bastard, I'm going to beat him, but instead of running away, he came to our door to dance."

"This old bastard, I must kill him."

The enemy who wanted to fight not only didn't run away, but came to provoke him. The arrogant Zhu Di naturally couldn't bear it, so he cursed loudly in anger.

"Mahamu is just a grasshopper after autumn. It won't last long. Grandpa, don't get angry and hurt yourself because of a little Mahamu."

Zhu Zhangui persuaded, and then said: "With our strength, it is easy to defeat Mahamu. What we have to consider now is how to prevent another one from popping up after defeating Mahamu."

"After all, you know the situation on the grassland, Grandpa."

"The Xiongnu in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Xianbei in the Three Kingdoms period, the Turks in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Rouran people in the Song and Wei dynasties, and then the Jin, Liao and Mongols."

"These guys are like leeks, killing waves and growing waves."

"We drove away Mahamu today, maybe a Gohamu will pop up tomorrow."

"From my grandson's point of view, we can't solve the fundamental problem if we just fight and ignore it."

Zhu Di sighed when he heard the words.

Why didn't he want to solve this problem.

But the problem is that it's really hard to do.

The prairie is just too big.

Daming couldn't support a long-term garrison at all, and the long supply line alone could make people desperate.

Building a city and stationing troops is a good management method.

But the risks are too great.

Once attacked, it is impossible for the court to support in a short time.

When they found out and rushed over, the enemies ran away and the city was destroyed.

Even when the city is being built, these guys will keep obstructing it and won't let you build it at all.

Without a fast communication method and a very fast marching speed, it would be really difficult to completely control the grassland.

This is not a question of strategy, but a question of time and distance.

"Little brat! Grandpa can only subdue these guys first."

"As for whether you can really control it later, it depends on yourself."

After staring at the wide grassland for a long time, Zhu Di finally sighed helplessly and patted Zhu Zhangui on the shoulder.

Zhu Zhangui was also silent.

In this era where communication depends on roaring, traffic depends on walking, safety depends on dogs, and heating depends on shaking.

It is really difficult for the Central Plains imperial court to completely control the grassland.

Even if it can be defeated, the imperial court will send people to manage it.

But the herdsmen live after chasing aquatic plants.

If they don't follow the aquatic plants, what will happen to their livestock?
If it is ordered that they live in a certain place, and the cattle and sheep have eaten up the water and grass, and in winter the cattle and sheep will have no food, and they will all starve to death or freeze to death, these people will still rebel.

It is impossible for the imperial court not to let them graze and let them farm!

This kind of thing is not done now, let alone in ancient times.

It will take some time for the Central Plains court to completely subdue these herdsmen.

At present, we can only subdue them first, and buy ourselves a little more time for the Ming Dynasty.

When you get it yourself or the truck machine gun is researched by the artisan camp, then these herdsmen will not be a problem.

No matter how fast your horse runs, you can outrun a car.

Your bow and arrow cavalry are fierce, and you can compare to the machine gun of the chug.

It will take some time before the Ming Dynasty wants the grassland people to put down their scimitars, bows and arrows and start singing and dancing.

November of Yongle's 11th year was spent in Zhu Zhangui's daily busy schedule.

Of course, this busyness is not only during the day, but also very busy at night.

His wife, the princess, has already ordered.

Before Zhu Zhangui set off on the northern expedition, Zhao Linger's stomach must have an echo.

Otherwise, she will go to the old man and prevent Zhu Zhangui from going to the north.

The old lady's threat is absolutely useful.

Zhu Di is crazy about his great-grandson now.

Every day when I meet Zhu Zhangui, I will ask him a question.

If Mrs. Zhang really refused to let Zhu Zhangui follow him to the Northern Expedition in the name of his great-grandson, the old man might really agree for the sake of his great-grandson.

Yongle 11 years early in May.

A major case shocked the whole world.

The newly established Wenqu Academy submitted a letter to report.

It is a crime of disrespect for the students of Guozijian to disobey the law, discuss government affairs without authorization, and attack the emperor.

This time, more than a dozen people in the lead were sentenced to beheading, and the rest were exonerated and sent to Qiongzhou Prefecture.

Song Xuan was lax as a teacher at Guozijian's sacrificial wine, and he was responsible for serious dereliction of duty for his students to commit such a mistake. Coupled with lax management, the emperor personally ordered him to behead and search his home.

Two-thirds of the other officials and teachers of the Imperial College were deprived of their official titles.

36 people were sentenced to death.

The rest were sent to exile.

All other students of the Imperial College will be demoted to one level as a punishment.

Students studying abroad in other countries will all be repatriated back to their home countries, and no one can be sent back within ten years.

At the same time, Wenqu Academy cooperated with Jinyiwei to conduct a census of famous students across the country.

Anyone who helps businessmen evade court tax cards will be dismissed and never hired, and will be punished according to their own behavior.

Those who have other people's property under their name must return it immediately. If they fail to do so within the specified time, all the property will be confiscated.

At the same time, under the investigation of Jin Yiwei, thousands of people who used their fame to do evil to the people will all have their reputations removed.

Those who committed the most heinous crimes were sentenced to be beheaded.

For other less serious acts, the sentence of exile or imprisonment varies.

With this action, the Wenqu Academy became famous all over the world.

At the same time, because of this incident, the collapse of the Kong family and the destruction of a small grain merchant family were suppressed.

Everyone's attention was attracted by Wenquyuan's action.

And Jie Jin, the courtyard of the Wenqu Academy, has also become the object of hatred of the literati.

There's no way this guy can't get into it.

Many people who were found to have problems wanted to come to the door to give gifts, begging to be let go.

As a result, Xie Jin took the things here, and sent them to the palace on the other side.

Then those who gave gifts were all recorded one by one, and they were all severely punished later.

One of them was supposed to be sentenced to exile, but he was sentenced to beheaded for giving gifts.

I have to sigh.

Sometimes giving gifts is not necessarily a good thing, it may make you more guilty.
