Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 622: The Crown Prince’s Letter Requesting to Resign, the Compilation of the Orthodox Record Completed
Zhu Qiyu then added: "Both men, women, and children in Duoyanwei will be given two sets of cotton-padded clothes and quilts. When people live a comfortable life, they will not always think about rebellion.

Then they opened a Weisuo school so that their children could study in the winter and go out to herd in the summer.

Within two or three generations, it was completely Chineseized.

As for the two newly built cities in Daning, one serves as the residence of King Ning and Daning Xingdusi, and is mainly for Han people to live.The other one is used for mutual trade.

We don’t collect taxes and make money by reselling goods from the court and Prince Ning’s palace, buying low and selling high. "

"No more taxes?"

"Yes, make money by doing government business. When it comes to tax collection, you have a good idea, but when you do it, you fail to implement it.

When the time comes, it doesn't matter if you collect more taxes or less taxes. The key is that you force those Mongolians who were finally appeased to rebel, and you'll be in trouble again.

Isn't that what happened in the Tumubao Incident? It was Wang Zhen who was so clever that he insisted on arrogantly making things difficult for the Wala mission in the tribute trade, and in the end he made people angry.

If they really want to destroy Wala, there are many ways. Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhenfei chose this petty approach.Then all his elite troops were in the south, so he was probably dumbfounded on the spot.

If we don't learn from them, we will either do business well or completely wipe out the Mongols. The most fearful thing about being a human being is being a half-assed person who can't be left or right. "

Lin Xiangyu teased: "A good emperor, but he thinks about tax exemption all day long. Those gentry, rich businessmen, and nobles have to build a monument for their husbands."

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "I can't help it, I was forced to do it. Now I'm starting to stick to the coin.

Think about it, there are 6000 million people in the Ming Dynasty. Assuming that each person has one tael of silver, then 6000 million taels of silver are needed.

No matter what mine you have, you can't dig out so much silver.

So I could only coax the wealthy gentry to take out the silver hidden in their cellars, and I would mint it into silver coins of equivalent value for them, and then open the sea to let a large amount of goods flow into the Ming Dynasty, prompting them to circulate the money in the market.

And it is definitely not possible to rely on silver alone. Copper coins must be minted on a larger scale.

This coinage really makes people scratch their heads.The mint can only be located in Beijing and cannot be operated by local governments.

Otherwise, the local government will start to mint good money, add random additions to it, and produce a lot of low-quality currency.

Eventually, bad money drives out good money, leading to another major devaluation. "

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "My husband's seriousness and responsibility for future generations is really admirable. You are thinking of making the Ming Dynasty prosperous for 300 years."

"Just make as much as you can for future generations. Not only the minting of coins, but also the production of armor and firearms, I also put it in the southern and northern capitals.

For example, I gave King Su so many soldiers and horses, but it’s not like I didn’t leave any restraints in place.He only has soldiers and horses, but the armor and firearms must be provided by the two capitals.

It is very difficult to rebel against the imperial court in this way. "

Lin Xiangyu nodded: "Our direct vassal kings include the King of Han who is guarding Xi'an, the King of Xia who is guarding Ningxia, and the King of Wei who is guarding Dongsheng. This is not easy to make."

"Forget it, let's not talk about these troubles, let's just eat milk. After eating milk, I can work for Xu Wenfang with all my strength."

In the middle of winter, except for a few southern provinces that are working hard to build ships, the rest of the people are staying in bed for the winter, accumulating strength for next year's big fight.

In the blink of an eye, it is the new year.

Like last year, Zhu Qiyu was exempted from the Zhengdan Dynasty, and Empress Dowager Wu was also exempted from the imperial congratulations.

After celebrating the New Year peacefully, it soon came to the sixth day of March, the sixth year of Jingtai.

Spring is blooming, and that season has come again. Zhu Qiyu has recently begun to frequently summon the other six imperial concubines to prepare a group of sons to occupy Japan and North Korea.Early that morning, as soon as Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes, an urgent military report was handed to him.

After more than half a year of using troops, Xu Youzhen and Yang Xinmin once again commanded the Guangdong and Guangxi wolf troops and captured the Champa State.

Seeing this military report, Zhu Qiyu began to scratch his head: "Those small countries in the south seem to be unable to compete with the Ming army.

The problem is that it is easy to conquer a country, but it is difficult to sit on it.

This city-state was the size of a province, so just sending officials would take a lot of effort.

The key is to ennoble at least one vassal king. I now have three sons who have not been ennobled as kings, but North Korea and Japan still need to ennoble several princes.

Before he ascended the throne, he never dreamed that the bottleneck in opening up new territories would be the birth of a son.

The speed of giving birth to sons is far behind the speed of conquering cities and territories.Oh, so sad.

And although it is easy to conquer the city, it is such a large territory after all, so I have to give Xu Youzhen a count. "

Qianxue pulled the military newspaper back from Zhu Qiyu's hand, and then stuffed another memorial in his hand: "Husband, please take a look. The prince has given you a memorial, requesting to resign from the position of prince and be demoted to the crown prince of Prince Yi."

Zhu Qiyu was surprised: "The prince actually submitted a petition to resign. I thought he was just joking. Can Liu Dingzhi and the others agree?"

"What's the use of them not agreeing? With Princess Yi here, many things can be bypassed by them."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Yuan Cheng and Yan Li must have been working hard behind the scenes, otherwise the prince would not have been so proactive."

Qianxue smiled and said: "Yan Li did come back with news, saying that Wang Ao and Yu Qian had stopped talking at all and stayed in the household department all day working hard. Things involving King Yi and the Crown Prince are completely inappropriate. Don't ask or participate.

Cheng Jing, Yu Shan, and Yu Gang on our side are almost the same, quiet and not participating in anything.

Liu Dingzhi, Ye Sheng, Lin Cong and other officials affiliated with the prince were not too surprised.After leaving Beijing, it doesn’t make much sense to jump up and down in Nanjing.They are all waiting to see the outcome of the Korean War.

The remaining people all have a more positive attitude towards changing the crown prince. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "It is possible. The Nanjing group is mainly from the founding faction. When the Jingnan faction moved the capital, they all followed Taizong to Beijing.

The founding faction has been suppressed since Taizong ascended the throne and does not support Xuan Temple and orthodoxy, which is normal.

I restored the Dukedom of Cao to Li Xuan of the founding faction, restored the Dukedom of Xinguo to Tang Jie, and gave the important task of guarding Nanjing to Wei Guogong.

They supported me and were very human. "

"Then the prince resigns, how to reply?"

"Then I definitely can't agree. Just comfort him with gentle words. No matter what you do, you have to go through three concessions."

Qianxue nodded: "Another thing, why should I let you go out? It is the "Orthodox Record". The "Jingtai Record" of the previous five years has been edited."

"Why don't we just ask them to send the books in?"

"No, He Yi wants to drag you in for an interview, because the so-called "Orthodox Records" have to be given another name.

According to the results of our painstaking efforts, you are the orthodox one. The original orthodox emperor has become King Yi. It would be awkward to call it "Legendary Record". "
