Chapter 1100 Factory Guard
Emperor Wanli, who lived in the deep palace for a long time and finally had fun in Tsinghua Garden, gradually felt that his empire had entered into troubled times.

In the autumn of the eighth year of Wanli, the imperial court was still arguing about withdrawing troops and defending Daning City. The emperor ordered Liang Menglong, who supervised the food and payment, to provide winter clothes for the Qi family army in Daning City.

The national income statistics that the emperor has been obsessed with are still inconclusive, but more accurate population and acreage data are increasing day by day. Last month, his imperial acreage just reached 700 million hectares, and this month it has become 970 hectares.

Last month, the number of people under his rule was 400 million, and this month it became 520 million.

The census, which was opposed by most court officials, was a huge success and gave the Wanli emperor a better idea of ​​the number of people living in the world.

But the emperor was not satisfied with such a number, and he wanted to increase the empire's land, so he was busy ticking and drawing circles in Tsinghua Garden against the number of acres of land in the imperial family's feudal kingdom... Whoever is ticked will be installed in the spring of next year Ship to the imperial family university in Dadongyang.

In Wanli's eyes, the Asia presided over by Chen Mu is the paper basket of the Ming Empire, the re-education that should be re-educated, and the land-feuding country that should be divided.

"Don't want to go? If you don't want to go, it's the court's decision to cut your title and become a commoner. What's the matter with me?" The emperor glanced at the ignorant King Lu, shook his head at Xu Jue who was standing beside him, and said, "Everything The circled ones are the ones I think can be cut; the ticked ones, I don’t know if they can be cut, Dudu Xu, you have to help me as a staff officer.”

Since Xu Jue was called to this Tsinghua University, he has two big heads.

First of all, he didn't know why the good No. [-] garden in the world was tossed into such a state by the emperor's former imperial army.

Riding with the emperor on the steamboat at Yuanqian Lake in Tsinghua University, feeling the vibration of the steam engine from the lower deck under his feet, and the chimney behind him let out a discouraged snort from time to time, and Dudu Xu in Jinyi looked around.

He was also an old guest of this Tsinghua Garden before, but at that time the garden belonged to Uncle Wu Qing and Li Wei. Liyangliu Embankment.

No matter where he looked, he felt that he was dressed like a battlefield.

Secondly, he didn't understand why the emperor fell in love with cutting down the vassals again when the war was raging outside the Great Wall in northern Xinjiang.

However, the young emperor seemed to share his thoughts, and before he could ask a question, he said: "In the past, I didn't think about the field, but now the data reported by various places is collected, and once I have calculated it, my people only have an average of nine acres of land. "

"Their income has not been calculated yet, but I don't think it will be too high. Since ancient times, we have said that wealth is stored for the people and used for the people. We also say that the people are more important than the community, and the emperor is the least; but I don't want to be light."

Xu Jue has heard the righteous words of the emperor...Your Majesty, if you don't want to take us lightly, why do you say it?
"If I don't want to be light, I have to make the community more important and the people more important. In this way, I will be sinking." The emperor thought his logic was impeccable, and he raised his hand and said: "There are four kinds of fields, Wangzhuang and Huangzhuang. , Juntun, and Mintian."

"Wangzhuang is the least important thing, so take it first, and clear everything that can be cleared." The emperor looked at Xu Jue, who was standing in front of him, who had been trying to help his stomach with his hands but dared not, until he saw Xu Jue's heart Frowning, he frowned and asked inquiringly, "Captain Xu, are you a good person?"

Xu Jue swallowed, this question was difficult to answer, finally she thought about it, and answered cautiously: "If your majesty wants me to be a good person, I will be a good person; if my majesty wants me to be a bad person, I will be a bad person. "

Sitting on the steps of the forecastle and holding the orange cat in his arms, Emperor Wanli fixed the black yarn golden crown on his head upwards, and when he heard the answer, he chuckled slightly and said, "You are not a good person, this matter will be easy."

"Taking advantage of this time, let me expand the Jinyiwei first. There are at most 4 Jinyiti riders left in the country, which is far from enough."

Forty thousand is not enough?
Xu Jue just wanted to scratch his head when he heard this, and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty wants to expand the brocade clothes. If there is a shortage of brocade clothes, there will be no shortage of officers."

From generation to generation, most of the guards in Jinyi are officials, and there are countless people who hold the title of a hundred households and wait for the actual assignment to do the work of the big Han general. Once they expand, they happen to have actual assignments. Xu Jue must have this ability. How powerful is that?

In fact, there are more than 4 Jinyiwei, but in recent years, they have been dispatched successively to the Southeast Asian countries and the Strait of Malacca, Goa, the Western military residence, Changsheng, the Eastern military residence, and North Korea and Japan in the Northern Ocean. In fact, there are only about [-] Jinyiwei in China.

"I don't know how much your Majesty wants to expand?"

The emperor stopped holding the cat, raised his head and said a number lightly, saying, "Forty thousand."

"I leave it to you to recruit soldiers. They'd better be poor clan members. It's okay if they have committed theft or beggars because of poverty; , record a single one.”

"After weaving them into brocade clothes, they were trained, scattered all over the place, and made unannounced visits and inspections. One was for corrupt officials, the other was for committing crimes, the third was for violating the laws of the clan, the fourth was for embezzlement in Huangzhuang, the fifth was for occupying military land, and the sixth was for occupying military fields. Mintian and Qi are corrupted by Huangzhuang."

Xu Jue's breathing became heavy. From his point of view, this was no different from the fact that the emperor wanted to restore the Jinyi Guard's charge to monitor the world. In his generation as the Jinyi Commander.

The emperor slowly raised the corners of his mouth, looked at Xu Jue and said quietly: "Dudu Xu, you remember, Jin Yiwei is not monitoring the world, let alone the people, but civil and military officials, royal family members... I will also let you People are in charge of you, if you let me know that your people have persecuted the people, you can guess what the consequences will be."

"Don't say anything, Jin Yiwei will formulate a charter for recruiting, training, monitoring, reporting, and punishment, and send it to me when it is done."

After the emperor finished speaking, he waved his hand: "You take your leave."

As soon as his words fell, Xu Jue was still looking around in a daze, their current location was in the middle of the lake, where would he leave?
There was a plop sound coming from behind. The emperor's confidant, the little eunuch Wang An, was untying the rope. The small paddle boat on the bird boat was already on the lake, and the little eunuch waved his whisk: "Dudu Xu, please?"

Xu Jue had just resigned and climbed the cable helplessly to get off the boat. Wang An leaned on the side of the boat and smiled at him and whispered, "By the way, Dudu Xu, grandpa said that it's time for Jin Yi to practice the skill of playing the court stick. No one is afraid of the imperial staff."

After getting off the big bird boat, the eunuch Wu took Xu Jue to the Yangliu embankment in a small boat. Xu Jue, who was sitting on the boat, felt that his back was sweating profusely, and the wind was very cold.

The emperor personally controlled the military power, even if it was only the military power of a few guards, he spoke with a power and power that made people fear.

What scares him even more is that at this moment, he has no idea what the emperor wants to do.

On the bird boat after he left, the emperor stood up and looked at the generous back of the small paddle boat that was drifting away, without looking back, but he knew that Wang An was behind him: "Hundred officials govern the place, Jinyi inspectors, you want Planning and inspecting Jinyi’s department, I think Xichang is good, so don’t make a fuss about it, first select personnel from Jinyiwei and the eunuchs in the palace.”
