The great dream of the heavens begins with Lin Pingzhi!

Chapter 78: Overthrow of Goryeo and the Taxation of Land! (Available tomorrow, more chapters expected!)
Although the nine important border towns had a large number of troops, more than half of them were collecting salaries without working. After withdrawing 12 elite troops, except for Jizhou, there were still about troops left in the nine important border towns.

Chu Feng transferred these 100,000 border troops to garrison in Yunnan, Sichuan and other places, so as to facilitate the attack on western Mongolia and the southern countries in the future.

At this time, the military power of these border army commanders was completely lost.

Because nine of them were among the ten generals that the Divine Marquis had contacted, and each of them had committed serious crimes. (During the late Ming Dynasty, there were thirteen important towns in the nine border areas, and the number of generals was not nine)
Although Chu Feng pardoned them, he couldn't let them hold military power again.

Therefore, Chu Feng decided to transfer them to the capital, promote them to high-ranking honorary titles, and each of them would be given the title of earl and a fief of 1,000 households.

From now on, they will live a good life in the capital and no longer get involved in military affairs. They will most likely have a good end.

Not long after, Chu Feng returned to the capital with his army.

The ministers who had already learned of the great victory submitted memorials praising the achievements of Chu Feng, the Ming Emperor, saying that he surpassed Chengzu and was on par with Taizu!

The Mongolian tribes have always been a hidden danger to the Ming Dynasty. Even during the prosperous periods of the Chengzu Dynasty, they were not completely wiped out.

This time, Chu Feng defeated all the Mongolian tribes in the south and north of the desert. There were only more than 2 adult men left, and the rest were the elderly, the weak, women and children. They would most likely be assimilated by the Ming Dynasty in the future and disappear completely.

Japan, the Later Jin, and the Mongolian tribes, all major hidden dangers to the Ming Dynasty, were eliminated by Chu Feng. The territory of the Ming Dynasty doubled. His achievements were unparalleled in ancient and modern times. He indeed surpassed Chengzu and was comparable to Taizu!

Chu Feng was not too proud, this achievement was nothing, next he would attack Central Asia, Europe, and even the world!
After all, every time a country is destroyed, there will be an extra source of power when the settlement is made.

Not long after, Chu Feng rewarded all the soldiers in the army. Cheng Shifei, Duan Tianya and Jian Jingfeng were all made earls, with fiefs of a thousand households.

After the awarding of rewards, Chu Feng announced some policies to reduce commercial taxes on the grasslands at the court the next morning. The policy was to attract merchants to go north to the grasslands to do business, revitalize the grassland economy, and make the grasslands not a burden on the Ming Dynasty, but a huge economic pillar.

When the officials and ministers heard this, they immediately discovered a huge business opportunity.

Because if the horses, cattle, and sheep from the northern grasslands are transported to the south for sale, it will definitely be a huge profit!

Similarly, scarce goods such as tea and silk from the south could be sold to the grasslands and make a lot of money.

In addition, Chu Feng himself also planned to run a caravan to make money.

After all, it doesn’t matter who you make money for, isn’t it better to make money yourself?
Through his series of policies, the grassland economy will surely be revitalized.

Chu Feng returned to the Qianqing Palace and looked at the new map of the Ming Dynasty and discovered Goryeo in the northeast corner.

Now that the Later Jin has been destroyed, there is no need to keep Goryeo!
Therefore, Chu Feng sent Gui Hai Yidao, Shangguan Haitang and Liu Jin, with 1 elite factory guards and 1 sunflower guards, to Liaodong to cooperate with Yu Dahu's 5 White Tiger Army to conquer Goryeo.

Although Goryeo was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty at that time, the relationship was actually only good in words.

Besides, how can I allow others to snore on my bed?

It’s better to destroy Goryeo!

This time, he did not lead the army in person. Goryeo alone was not enough for him to conquer, and his soldiers also needed opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

In fact, Yu Dahu did not disappoint his high hopes. In less than two months, he conquered Goryeo and captured the Goryeo King Lee Jong.

A month later, Yu Dahu left nearly 2 troops to garrison Goryeo, led Xuanwu troops to escort the prisoners, and returned to the court.

Chu Feng rewarded his ministers. Yu Dahu, Gui Hai Yidao, Shangguan Haitang and Liu Jin were all granted the title of marquis and were allowed to obtain a town as a fief in Goryeo.

After all, it was the achievement of destroying a country, and it was real, without any falsehood, so it was normal to be granted a title of nobility!
At this time, Chu Feng reorganized the army, using 2 Xuanwu troops as the backbone, and reorganized and merged them with 3 Jizhou troops to expand it into the Second Army of the White Tiger Legion.

The nearly 3 Xuanwu troops stationed in Korea were supplemented by more than 2 garrison troops and reorganized into the First Army of the White Tiger Legion, which was still stationed in Goryeo.

The Second Army of the White Tiger Legion was transferred to Yunnan.

At this time, Chu Feng continued to manage internal affairs, recuperate, and eliminate malpractices. When calculating the source power, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was also an important evaluation criterion.

Therefore, it is very necessary to eliminate drawbacks and enhance national strength!
The most important point in eliminating the malpractices this time was to expand the Ming Dynasty's government establishment, and all the low-level officials such as yamen runners and constables were included in the court establishment, and given monthly salaries that were enough to support their families.

After all, these low-level people don't have monthly salaries. If they want to support their families, they have to rely on their own abilities to make money. They have no choice but to rack their brains to exploit the people and deceive their superiors and subordinates!

If you want to change them, you have to pay!

Now that you have both status and money, it would be wrong for you to be greedy again!

Therefore, Chu Feng sent out intelligence departments such as the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang to supervise, and set up checkpoints in every village and town, allowing the people to report. Once any corruption and favoritism such as deliberately making the people pay more taxes and the wealthy families pay less taxes are discovered, they will all be dealt with severely and investigated to the end, including bribers, who will be executed immediately!

A large number of yamen runners and constables who had not changed their bad behavior were dismissed and investigated.

The missing yamen runners and constables can be recruited quickly.

Because the status and salary of yamen runners and constables have been greatly improved, it is very easy to recruit them.

If the court's policies are to be implemented, they cannot do without the grassroots people under these government offices, so reliable people must be selected.

Of course, many people do not see the situation clearly and think that the imperial power cannot do anything to them unless it reaches the countryside.

What they didn't know was that the Jinyiwei already had 50,000 to 60,000 people, and the number of intelligence informants developed by the Eastern Depot was even greater than that.

The development of Hulong Villa and Humin Villa is not much behind, and they have spies all over the world.

Soon after, another wave of raids and confiscations began, targeting those wealthy families, powerful clans, and officials who had used the power of the government to oppress the people.

As the number of heads being killed continued to rise, court officials, aristocratic families, and ordinary people finally realized the court's determination, and they all reported it enthusiastically, and many hidden dangers were exposed.

Another large number of people are unlucky.

After this round of purges, the imperial court's authority had begun to penetrate deep into the local areas and lower levels of government.

Three months later, the time was ripe and Chu Feng began to use his ultimate move: surveying the land, allocating taxes based on acreage, and abolishing the head tax!
If it were before, the lower-level constables and yamen runners were disobedient and pretended to obey but actually disobeyed, this policy would have been impossible to implement.

But at this time, the yamen runners and constables had already been incorporated into the establishment, and a large number of new people had been replaced, and a group of grassroots officials who were willing to work were promoted.

Even though those aristocratic families wanted to resist, they were already powerless to do anything about it.

Moreover, Chu Feng also sent out four major intelligence departments to assist. Anyone who dared to stop the land survey would be killed!

Half a year later, the policy of land surveying was successfully completed, and the people entered a new era.

Without the head tax, taxes were distributed based on the amount of land used. The people's living pressure was greatly reduced, and they began to have children on a large scale.

The number of newborns in the Ming Dynasty court began to surge!
In this era, strength lies in numbers. The increase in population also means that the Ming Dynasty’s national strength has increased, making it easier to conquer the world in the future!

In addition, the court’s annual tax revenue also increased significantly, enough to meet the expenses of the government with a large increase in staff!
In addition, in order to curb land mergers, Chu Feng also began to restrict land transactions. That is, there is an upper limit on the land owned by individuals and families, and heavy taxes will be levied if the limit is exceeded.

After resolving the internal political risks of the court, Chu Feng began to do his own thing.

The first is to gather famous doctors from all over the world, compile medical classics, and improve their own medical skills.

Medicine and martial arts are inseparable, and medical skills are very popular in most dimensions!
The second is to collect magical medicines from all over the world and prepare to refine elixirs.

As long as he could refine a top-level elixir that could greatly increase his power, he could use the source power to draw it after returning, and then use it to train his younger brother Chu Jiang and his mother Du Xinlan.
