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

Chapter 317 If karma is to be useful, why do you need Yamen?
"Evil ghosts, you evil ghosts, are you not afraid of the wrath of the gods who will punish you for killing innocent people like this? You will be punished sooner or later for killing creatures like this!"

"Great god, I beg you to send down the grace of God and save your people!"

"Sea God Empress, your people are being slaughtered, please lower your thunder and punish these evil spirits with human faces and beast hearts!"

Seeing the clansmen being brutally killed, the clan leaders ignored the injuries on their legs, lay down on the ground and looked at Xu Tianfu who was standing in front of them with hatred, and Qi Yuan who was holding his arms in his arms indifferently.

Facing the curses and roars of these guys, Qi Yuan felt nothing at all.

The curse is useful these days, he has already died 800 times.

As a general who leads troops in battles and conquers cities, he doesn't believe in the reincarnation of karma.

If there is really retribution in this world, then these people will never live to the day when they will be named marquises and generals.

If there were gods and spirits in the world, those bastards who corrupted the law, bullied men and women, and took advantage of power to make troubles would have been confiscated long ago, so there is no need for the Yamen to take action.

All in all, it is just a sentence, if karma and so on are useful, why does the court still build Yamen?

Besides, he couldn't understand what these people were scolding, and Qi Yuan took all the words he didn't understand as compliments.

"You devils, don't think that we will compromise after killing a few people. Even if you kill all my people, I will not write a word on this piece of paper, leaving a trace."

Qi Yuan couldn't understand what these patriarchs were saying, Xu Tianfu grew up here, although he couldn't speak the local dialects of various clans, he could still understand them.

The patriarch spoke a minority dialect, but it happened that Xu Tianfu could understand it, so the little old man who yelled the loudest was going to be in trouble.

"What did he say?" Qi Yuan inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xu Tianfu's expression, seeing the excited look in his eyes, thought that the indigenous patriarch agreed to sign the treaty, and asked curiously.

"He said, don't think that we can force him to compromise by killing a few people. He said at the end that even if he killed his whole family, he would not write a word on the contract and leave a trace."

Qi Yuan looked at the patriarch in astonishment, it was the first time he heard such a request at such a young age.

"How to do?"

Seeing Qi Yuan's astonished expression, Xu Tianfu murmured in his heart, could this general be frightened?This is too timid, if I can be a general, can I go to Daming to apply for the coach of Yiming?

"What's wrong? Follow up"

Qi Yuan looked at him suspiciously, and then said something that made Xu Tianfu confused.

"Since people have brought it up, we must satisfy their wishes. We Daming people can't say anything else, but we love to help others."

"Come, come, don't stand here, go and see which part of his tribe is, let's help him fulfill this wish, oh, yes, by the way, tell his tribe again, this is what their patriarch requested, Saying that they are alive, he is embarrassed to surrender for fear of being scolded, so he can only borrow their heads to enjoy the glory and wealth."

Qi Yuan said with a smile while pushing Xu Tianfu towards the captives.

Xu Tianfu, who was in a daze, looked at the sky with a blank face.

Is that what the patriarch meant?Or is there something wrong with my translation?

Although he had some self-doubt in his heart that he had made a mistake in the translation, Xu Tianfu did not refuse Qi Yuan's request, and led a group of soldiers towards the group of captives, pointing out the location of the clan leader's tribe.

Soon 2000 people, old and young, were forced out. The soldiers dragged their hair and feet, ignoring the howling and begging of these prisoners, screaming and cursing, and brutally dragged them to the pile of headless corpses and handed them over to the soldiers of Luzon.

"What are you doing? Let go of my people!"

The patriarch who "made the request" just now saw that his clansmen were arrested, and all the old and young were brought out. He was so shocked that he staggered and rushed over regardless of the injury on his right leg.

"Alas...don't go!"

Qi Yuan waved away the blocking soldiers, and forced the patriarch with a smile, stood on the steps, grabbed the other's head by force, and looked at the place of execution with a smile.

The Luzon soldiers who had been prepared long ago, with the help of some Ming people next to them, tied up the captives one by one and knocked them to the ground.

Then he washed the big knife in his hand in the sea water, washed the blood off it, waved his arm, relaxed his muscles, and stood behind the captive with an excited face, waiting for the order.

Since there are not many soldiers in Luzon, more than 1000 people can only be killed at a time, so this batch of captives is divided into two groups, and the first group is the young and strong of this tribe.

Stretching out his arms to hug the struggling patriarch, Qi Yuan waved his hand casually after getting ready.

The Luzon soldiers who had been waiting for a long time saw the general from Ming Dynasty give an order, and their faces were full of excitement. Under the terrified and angry expression of the patriarch, they swung their swords fiercely.

The pier fell into silence again, and the patriarch who was released by Qi Yuan, like rotten meat whose bones had been taken away, collapsed on the ground with a plop, staring blankly at the beach full of headless corpses in the distance.

The other patriarchs who were guarded by the soldiers didn't have the angry roar at the beginning, and there was no atmosphere and resentment in their eyes. At this moment, they all looked at the execution place by the sea in a daze.

"next batch!"

Xu Tianfu on the side didn't know whether it was intentional or not, when he gave the order, he deliberately amplified his voice, and even shouted it in local dialect.

Luzon soldiers are all locals, and they can still understand a thing or two about the common language of the indigenous people.

As soon as Xu Tianfu gave the order, they kicked the head of the person under their feet into the sea, then stretched out their hands and grabbed the old, young, women and children who had been frightened and trembling, and dragged it out brutally.

"No, no, please, I will sign and sign, let them go, let them go, they are just a group of old women and children, they are not a threat to you, I am willing to be a slave, I am willing to be a slave to Daming Dogs, please, let them go, let them go!"

Seeing the old, young, women and children being dragged out, the patriarch who was paralyzed on the ground finally collapsed. He howled and kowtowed frantically at Xu Tianfu and Qi Yuan, begging for mercy loudly in substandard Daming Mandarin, and shouted willing to sign the contract.

Qi Yuan had a smile on his face, but his eyes were still extremely indifferent.

These damn monkeys, who can speak Daming's official dialect, want to communicate in native dialect. They look down on Daming.

He stretched out his hand and lifted the kowtowing patriarch up, Qi Yuan looked at the pale old face of the other party who didn't know whether he was frightened or what happened, and said in an encouraging tone: "Why did you just give up like this? , What a man says, the water that is spilled, cannot be taken back.”

"When I was young, my father often told me that you can't give up halfway in doing things. Not only will you fail to get things done, but you will also be looked down upon by others."

"So in order for you to succeed and for you not to be looked down upon, I, the helpful General Ming, decided to help you fulfill your promise."

"Oh, by the way, don't thank me for it, let alone send any beauties, gold, silver and treasures to my house to thank me. I don't ask for anything in return for my good deeds."

"Oh, there is no way, we are such enthusiastic people."

"Oh, yes!"

Qi Yuan, who had just turned around, seemed to have forgotten something, turned his head to the bewildered patriarch, smiled and said: "Don't thank me, go back down below, if you want to show credit for me, remember to report my name, my name is Li Hu."

Qi Yuan looked at Xu Tianfu with a ghostly expression, and waved his hand again towards the distance.

Xu Tianfu looked bewildered. If he remembered correctly, when he invited the general for a drink yesterday, the other party said that the head of their navy was named Li Hu.

The light of the knife flickered, and the heads of the people flew up. This small tribe of more than 2000 people was completely wiped out today.

"There is no one left in his tribe!"

Limp on the ground without responding, Qi Yuan stared blankly at the little patriarch who was strewn with corpses, Qi Yuan looked at Xu Tianfu, a local snake, and asked if there were any omissions in this tribe.

Xu Tianfu, who was a little afraid of the general in front of him, turned his body slightly, avoiding Qi Yuan's staring gaze, and replied with a dry smile: "The tribe was at home at the time, and we were encircling them. That's all he's left with."

"Oh, that's it, then he should be on his way. I guess his group of clansmen are getting impatient. We Daming people are all warm-hearted. We can't let so many people wait for him, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, General Qi, oh no, General Li is right!" Xu Tianfu catered to him with a dry smile!
"Oh, so, you also agree with my idea, that's fine, this glorious task will be entrusted to you."

Pulling out the revolver on his body, Qi Yuan, who was about to do it, heard Xu Tianfu call out his surname for the first time, and suddenly raised his head with a surprised expression on his face, as if he had found a like-minded person. handed his revolver to the other.

Xu Tianfu's expression froze, he looked down at the revolver handed in front of him, and then at Qi Yuan, who kept pouting to signal him to take the gun.

"What? You won't dare!"

The gun was stretched out for a long time, but Xu Tianfu just refused to take it, Qi Yuan teased with a tone of whether you can't do it.

The man couldn't say no, Xu Tianfu grabbed the revolver in Qi Yuan's hand, "General Li was joking, although I am fat, I have also been on the battlefield and killed people."

After he finished speaking, he thought about it. He saw the scene of the officer using the revolver in the past few days, moved the hammer away like that, and pointed the gun at the little patriarch who was limp on the ground with empty eyes.

"boom!"

A crisp gunshot sounded, and the old little patriarch fell to the ground, ending his sinful life.

The reason why it is said to be a crime is not to commit a crime.

These small indigenous tribes still retain their barbaric traditions. Whenever there is any natural or man-made disaster, or an important person dies, they will choose a living sacrifice.

Children, old people, women, young adults, each ceremony will choose different people.

Even the patriarch may die at any time because he is old, so he personally selected the people to be buried early last year.

Handing the gun to Qi Yuan, Xu Tianfu braced his trembling legs, picked up the scroll on the table next to him, and walked over to sit there, staring blankly at the corpse of the little patriarch and the corpse at the execution place by the sea. patriarchs.

Looking at Xu Tianfu who was trembling even when he walked, Qi Yuan smiled lightly and shook his head.

This fat man is really stubborn. It was his first time to kill someone. When he beheaded just now, he subconsciously turned his head and looked away. He even pretended to be a veteran.

Reaching out to put the gun back into the holster, Qi Yuan found a chair and sat down, waiting for the result of the fat man's negotiation.

This is just a trick of killing chickens to show monkeys. There are many places in Ming Dynasty to develop correct slaves. Now that the imperial court has lifted the corvee, it will be too busy to work on those small melons, so it needs a large number of slaves. If all the Nu slaves are killed here, who will work?
Although there are a large number of slaves in the west, the distance is too far after all. As the saying goes, the near thirst cannot be quenched, so it is best to find slaves nearby.

Half an hour later, Xu Tianfu came to Zhu Zhangui who was fishing in the bright red sea, holding a lot of scrolls with his face flushed.

"Your Highness and the others have already signed, and now this is our land."

He was staring at Zhu Zhangui who was entangled in his hair, and when he heard this, he looked back at him.

Xu Tianfu shuddered at the sight, and stretched out his hand to slap his face.

"The minister is wrong, it is your majesty and your land."

Only then did Zhu Zhangui look at the pile of scrolls in his arms with satisfaction.

"Okay, Gu knows, you should have a ship, go to Qiongzhou Nanhai Naval Base to get Gu's warrant, and notify the navy there, and they will send a ship to assist you in transporting slaves."

Zhu Zhangui didn't say how these slaves are arranged. This is his father's business. As a prince, he only needs to catch slaves and open up the territory.

"As ordered!"

Xu Tianfu quickly responded, turned around and was about to go to work.

"Wait a moment!"

Throwing the blood-stained fishing rod into the sea, Zhu Zhangui just got up, seemed to think of something, and called Xu Tianfu again.

Xu Tianfu hurriedly stopped, turned around and bowed slightly, waiting for the order.

"We won't stay here for too long. While we're here, you take Qi Yuan for a walk around and see if there's anything else you need to help with."

"Otherwise, when we leave later, you will be overwhelmed with insufficient manpower."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Xu Tianfu understood immediately. Zhu Zhangui meant that while the army is here these few days, if there is any enemy that cannot be dealt with, bring it up as soon as possible, and the army will help solve it. After the provincial army leaves, they will Luzon's thousand soldiers couldn't handle it.

Glancing at the corpses cleaned up by Luzon soldiers by the sea, Zhu Zhangui smiled, and didn't look at the patriarchs who had been suppressed again, and the indigenous tribes captives who were still under guard. .

"Did they sign it?"

Just as Zhu Zhangui returned to the headquarters, the old man who was playing chess with Xu Chai Lao asked without raising his head.

"Signed, this place is our Daming's territory from today on."

"Congratulations to the Supreme Emperor, congratulations to the Supreme Emperor, we, the overseas people, have finally returned to the embrace of the imperial court."

Xu Chai, who was opposite the old man, heard that the crown prince had settled all this, so he quickly stood up and congratulated the old man.

"Hahaha, the same joy!"

The territory has been expanded again, and the old man is also very happy. Facing the flattery he hated most in the past, today he is very comfortable listening to it.

Besides, he is too emperor now, he doesn't care about state affairs, what's wrong with listening to flattery, who doesn't like nice words, and he just thought too much before, so he got tired of those flattering words.

But as he became the Supreme Emperor, he no longer worried about state affairs, and after traveling around the mountains and rivers every day, he liked to listen to this flattering talk more and more.

"We have too few people here. If those monkeys are taken away again, there will be no one in this territory. If the surrounding enemy countries know about it, it may be difficult to defend it!"

After all, I have been the emperor for so long, although I have reminded myself more than once that I don't care about state affairs when I am old, but whenever I encounter something, the old man will think about it.

"I plan to build a naval supply base here as a transit point for the southern continent. The Fourth Marine Corps will be stationed here. At the same time, I will immigrate from Shandong."

"Shandong is plagued by disasters, who knows what kind of bad weather will be encountered in the future, and the people can't survive there. Rather than starve to death, they might as well move here and give them a place to continue to thrive."

With the help of Xu Ruoying, Zhu Zhangui, who took off his cloak, expressed his thoughts.

The old man nodded slightly when he heard the words, then frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "The solution is good, but I'm afraid that the people in Shandong will have trouble leaving their homeland, and they don't want to come to this overseas place thousands of miles away."

Walking to the table, Zhu Zhangui, who was observing the two-person chess game, shook his head, helped Xu Chailao make a move, then observed the whole chess game, thinking about where to go next, and replied softly:

"People are going to starve to death. There is no homeland that is hard to leave. If there is only one or two years of disasters in Shandong, this may happen. But in the past few years, Shandong has almost never had a good year like a plague god. However, the people there, the only feeling that they can’t leave their homeland, is probably worn away by the natural disasters in the past few years.”

"As long as we relax our welfare a bit and give them a few more years of tax-free guarantees, my grandson can bet you that at least half of the people in Shandong will go here."

Zhu Zhangui never believed that it was hard to leave his homeland. The so-called hard to leave his homeland was just that the common people were not sure that going outside would lead to a better life than at home.

If they can be sure that they will be able to eat and clothe themselves when they go outside, let the whole family live a good life, and even make a fortune, they will not even think about their homeland.

It's hard to leave the hometown and the plot of homesickness, that's because there are people and things they miss in their hometown and hometown.

This time, all the relatives and friends you know will go out together to make a fortune.

There are only a few childhood memories left in my hometown. Relatives, friends, and familiar people are all together, happily living a prosperous life. It is estimated that when I die, I will think about returning to the roots.

And with the development of the southern continent later, the ocean trade will be very prosperous. These people who migrated here want to go back to their hometowns, and they can go back anytime with some money.

As for the issue of the sea ban, no one in the entire court has mentioned this matter, as if there was no sea ban in the Ming Dynasty.

People in the coastal areas go fishing in the sea, and the local yamen pretend not to see it. Those private merchant ships that transport goods can travel anywhere in the country as long as they have paid taxes to the navy and hold a certificate issued by the navy.

So the sea ban is now regarded as a non-existent policy by Ming Dynasty.

"Okay, you have a good idea. Tell your father later to give better benefits to the people who migrated."

"By the way, this land belongs to our family!"

Zhu Zhangui nodded, "Why did you forget, I told you that in order to prevent land annexation, the people were displaced and there was a change."

"All the land that has been nationalized or newly developed is under the name of the Ming royal family. The common people only have the right to use it to cultivate it, and they do not have the right to sell it or lease it."

"At that time, you thought this idea was not bad, so you agreed, and let my father and I handle this matter. As early as a few years ago, the imperial court began to implement it. Those lands that were exchanged for the dividends of the Chamber of Commerce were all arranged in this way!"

Hearing Zhu Zhangui's reminder, the old man suddenly patted his forehead.

In the past few years, he has been thinking about fighting, and he is thinking about giving up his position to Zhu Pangpang in the next few years. He has little to do with domestic government affairs, and throws everything to his big fat son.

So he only has a little impression of this matter, as for when it was implemented, he really can't remember it.

What's more, there is such a capable son and an excellent grandson. As long as he is happy and able to fight, he will not care about other things.

"Your Highness, I would like to ask, how should the agricultural tax be collected in this way?"

Xu Chailao at the side, listening to the conversation between his grandfather and grandson, asked subconsciously.

After all, he is the governor of Luzon, and the old man has a good impression of him, and he intends to let him continue to be the leader here.

Now that the land is all under the royal name, he has to inquire about the tax, so as to save the tax from being collected in the future and not knowing where to pay it.

After all, the land here is owned by the royal family, and it would be a bit inappropriate to hand over the collected money and food to the household department.

Xu Chailao interrupted the conversation between the two rashly, Zhu Zhangui didn't care, and while playing chess with the old man, he replied with a smile: "The royal tax is collected by the chamber of commerce, and then converted into silver and deposited into the royal account , when the time comes, they will send people, and at the same time, people from Jinyiwei, Yushitai and Hubu will also come with them."

Xu Chai nodded suddenly. He didn't expect that the current royal family would be so trouble-free. They didn't even collect food, and sold it directly to the chamber of commerce to make money directly.

Originally, he was thinking of letting people from the chamber of commerce come to collect taxes. Isn't the royal family afraid of these people's hands.

But when Zhu Zhangui said that he was accompanied by people from the household department of Jinyiwei Yushitai, he suddenly understood.

He just said, what he can think of, the royal family can't think of it. There are three departments of supervision, and the royal people are watching from above.

Robbing the emperor's money, even if you get it, you will have your life to spend it!

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and the fleet docked at the Manila pier set sail again after sending people from the West Sea Fleet Naval Base.

The next stop is Boni, a country that the old man plans to take over personally, Boni country!
Similarly, Zhu Zhangui also wanted to go there and inspect Malacca and Java Island.

Find out which place is suitable to build a military base, completely block the sea traffic arteries in the southwest region, and completely control the southern sea area in Daming's hands.

ps: I don’t know how my brothers would like to write like this. Anyway, I don’t like these white-eyed wolves in the south, so I will write according to my ideas. As for the crab problem, it doesn’t matter, anyway, I just feel good , Who cares, it’s a big deal to start a new book again.

If you don't accept life and death, you can do it, as long as I feel good, I love it!
