"So it's good!" Zhu Youjian laughed too, "With Hongji in Horqin, they will trust Daming more. When you go outside the customs, you can take Ulan Sobudge, when you have a meeting with the Horqin people. At that time, she can be your interpreter for the time being."
"Your Majesty..."
Zhu Youjian waved his hand to stop Li Hongji from continuing: "I believe that Li Aiqing will sincerely turn towards Daming."
"Thank you, your majesty for your trust!"
"I will talk about Lingbei Province in the end."
Shi Kefa had already pricked his ears, for fear of missing any sentence of Zhu Youzhen's language.
"Lingbei Province is somewhat similar to Beihai Province. They are both vast and located in the extreme north. It is adjacent to Beihai Province in the east, Heilongjiang and the north bank of the Oran River in the south, and the north is the same as the North Sea, but also the sea, and the west is also It’s a river that flows all the way to the sea."
"Your Majesty, is the northern part of Lingbei Province also a vast forest?"
"Yes, because Lingbei Province is in the extreme north, although it has a vast area, it has a small population. I have already told Hong Chengchou to temporarily establish one government and two counties in the local area."
"Is only one mansion and two counties?" Shi Kefa's eyes widened. If Zhu Youjian was the emperor, he would not have believed it.
"The current population of Lingbei Province has only 18,000 permanent residents, and all of them are Mongolians. I plan to exile some prisoners there to enrich the Han population. Shi Aiqing, your duty is also to speed up the localization of Sinicization."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"As for the method of Sinicization, in addition to what I just said, exiling the Han people, I also asked the Ministry of Industry to send a large number of seed farming tools so that these Mongolians can learn to farm and settle down. In addition, I will also send talents to the locals. , To set up schools and learn Chinese, starting with children."
"But, Your Majesty, this mansion and two counties only occupy a corner."
"Shi Aiqing is right. Lingbei Province now has only such a corner. If the Mongols stabilize there, you can go west from Yashan Pass with the assistance of the army to establish more prefectures and counties."
"Your Majesty, the minister understands that after the minister went to Lingbei, he did not guard the land, but opened up frontiers."
"Shi Aiqing really lived up to my expectations!" Zhu Youjian was delighted, "All Aiqing, I said so much, I just want you to know more about the situation outside the customs. Now, do you understand your respective missions? ?"
"Your Majesty, the ministers waiting for the post this time, the main purpose is to naturalize the local people to build more prefectures and counties for Daming."
"When Aiqing said this, I can rest assured, Daming's outside world depends on you!"
"The ministers should do their best to collect the land outside the customs for Daming."
"One last thing I want to say, you are the governors outside the Pass, but for the provinces outside the Pass, I only have one governor and one civil officer for the time being. If there is a lawsuit among the people to fight, they will be handed over to the army. This model, I call it' Military control' until the locality is completely Sinicized."
At noon, Zhu Youjian gave a banquet to the five upcoming governors in the side hall of the Huangji Hall.
On the first day of September, it was originally the day of the imperial meeting, but after Zhu Youzhen returned to Beijing from the northern expedition, he temporarily rejected the imperial meeting on the pretext of extreme fatigue.
On this day, he came to the Xuanqin Palace again, and initially completed the reform plan on Zhang Yan's belly.
After being relieved, the two had a spring breeze.
Happy men, happy women!
In broad daylight, Zhang Yan didn't get up in time, she was still lying in Zhu Youjian's arms.
Zhu Youzhen caressed Zhang Yan's still flushed face: "Yan'er, people say that women are too smart, no one dares to ask for it, but I still like Yan'er, who is both beautiful and smart...beautiful and eye-catching. , Smart can communicate."
"That's because your Majesty is the smartest man in the world," Zhang Yan closed her eyes slightly, and she was almost muttering: "If anyone dares to play with your Majesty, who can guarantee that he will not end well!"
"I am the emperor, who would dare to play with me?" Zhu You seized Zhang Yan's fragrant shoulders and tightened her body to his side.
"Even if your majesty is not the emperor, no one dared to fight with your majesty, making firearms, eliminating eunuchs, pacifying the Shaanxi civil commotion, and cleaning up slaves. Of these things, your Majesty only needs to complete one thing, and it will be enough to go down in history. Your Majesty not only completes it. All these things, moreover, Your Majesty is still very young, and I don’t know what to achieve in the future." Zhang Yan followed Zhu Youzhen’s direction of force and leaned her **** towards Zhu Youzhen. She was on the left. The mulberry has been hung on Zhu Youjian's chest.
"Haha, Yan'er can really speak!" Zhu Youjian hugged her tighter.
"What the concubine said, but from the bottom of my heart!" Zhang Yan yawned: "Your Majesty, but..."
"What's wrong? Yan'er."
"Your Majesty always let his concubines bear the title of queen, it's not a problem!"
"Then Yan'er wants to be the queen mother or my concubine?"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Yan slandered Zhu Youjian. She was already leaning on half of Zhu Youjian's body: "Well! Your Majesty is planning reforms. Right now, the imperial court is about to come, the courts and concubines. , Just ignore it for now."
"Yan'er, you said, what is the most important thing about this reform?"
"Your Majesty, the key is the clan, don't let the clan collude with the scholars."
"It seems that these scholars, I still can't afford to provoke them?"
"Yes, your majesty, sage Confucius has lived among scholars for two thousand years. Throughout the ages, any emperor dared to offend the Confucian mansion? Even when the Mongols ruled the Central Plains, they did not dare to move the house of sage Confucius." Zhang Yan Smoothly slipped on Zhu Youjian's lower abdomen, and accidentally slipped to Zhu Youjian's vitals, "Your Majesty..."
"Huh?" Zhu Youjian also felt his own optimism, and he wanted to turn over.
When Zhang Yan was about to escape, Zhu Youzhen had already hooked her waist: "Yan'er, you asked for this!"
It was another spring breeze.
Tired men, cool women!
When Zhu Youjian returned to the Palace of the Qing Dynasty, it was already in the hands of the lantern, and the eunuch Zhang Yixian brought him dinner. While Zhu Youjian had dinner, he looked at the reform draft that Zhang Yan had just sorted out.
There are only eight articles in the draft, which are programmatic in nature.
Article 1: Abolish the boundaries of the status of scholars, farmers, merchants and soldiers, abolish the kneeling ceremony, and change it to shaking hands and arching. All citizens shall be equal in politics and law;
Article 2: Encourage the development of industry and commerce, but all industrial and commercial owners must pay taxes to the court in accordance with the standard of 15 taxes per one;
Article 3: Vigorously develop maritime transport and encourage citizens to engage in maritime transport;
Article 4: Agricultural taxes are levied without discrimination. All land, including imperial estates, must be paid in accordance with the standard of 15 taxes and 1;
Article 5: Freedom of speech, encourage citizens to set up newspapers;
Article 6: Promote civilization and vigorously develop all kinds of education;
Article 7: Abolish the clan mansion, lift the ban on clan children, all clan children can make a living on their own;
Article 8: Abolish the government's military system, change it to a recruiting system, and implement a compulsory military system. When the country needs it, all young people must perform unconditional military service.
On the fifth day of September, Zhu Youjian summoned Huang Liji, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Chunye, Shangshu of the Ministry of War in the Palace of Qianqing.
"The minister sees your majesty!" Huang Liji and Li Chunye, after seeing Zhu Youjian returned to Beijing, hadn't shown up, and now they suddenly summoned. There must be something important. They jointly bowed down and bowed to Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youzhen grinned, "The two Aiqings waived the gift, gave a seat, and served tea!"
"Your Majesty Xie!" The two dropped half of their ass on the chair under Zhu Youjian.
"The two Aiqings don't need to be polite. I summon you today for private inquiries."
"Private inquiry?"
"Yes, although I am the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, I am still young and cannot comprehend the way to govern the country. Therefore, I have summoned two Aiqings today to ask you for advice."
"Ao!" Huang Liji straightened his body like a primary school student, "The minister should know everything!"
However, Li Chunye was careful with Zhu Youjian. He remembered that Zhu Youjian had looked forward to him, and he muttered in his heart: "Your Majesty is going to fight again?"
"You are my most trusted and important minister, so I just said it straight. The current Daming is like an old bull's declining sun, full of holes. Therefore, I plan to reform and establish a new one. As for the content of the reform, I have a draft here. The two Aiqing might as well take a closer look."
The eunuch sent Huang Liji and Li Chunye each a compiled reform draft.
"Puff..." Huang Liji took a sip of tea and was looking at the draft leisurely, but before he finished reading the draft, he spouted a sip of tea, making the draft in front of him damp.
Li Chunye knelt down in front of Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty, this kind of reform will surely cause chaos in the world!"
Zhu Youjian was not surprised: "So, the two Aiqings are opposed to our reform plan?"
Huang Liji and Li Chunye looked at each other, and both of them nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are firmly opposed to this reform plan, and the person who proposed this plan should be thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Penalty. The ministers want to see it. What are people's intentions!"
Zhu Youjian laughed: "Two Aiqings, this plan is entirely my idea. Are the two Aiqings going to let me go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice to experience life?"
"Your Majesty..." Huang Liji was speechless for a while.
"Your Majesty, this is..." Li Chunye didn't believe it even more. In his mind, how could he punish Shaanxi, capture Wei and castrate, clean up and establish slaves... How could that bizarre young man who was full of spirits, calm and thoughtful, committed such a crime? Blunder? This is to be an enemy of the whole people. Although he is an emperor, amidst all the opposition from the whole country, can this throne be held securely
Zhu Youjian ignored their strange expressions: "The two Aiqings reacted so strongly. It seems that this draft still needs to be revised... Tell me, which clauses do you oppose?"
"Abolish the clan mansion and lift the ban on clan children, absolutely not!"
"Taking taxes on all land will surely be resolutely opposed by the clan and Shilin!"
"National equality will suppress Shilin's status in disguise, and they will strongly oppose it!"
"Tax taxes on industry and commerce, industrial and commercial households will surely rise up against it!"
"Freedom of speech will inevitably destroy the state of unification since the Han Dynasty!"
"Doing business overseas will make merchants contaminate the customs of the barbarians. Even if the ban on shipping is lifted, it cannot be encouraged. Moreover, the imperial court must dominate!"
"Abolition of the military system, where is the way out for the current military soldiers?"
"The development of education for all will separate the boundaries of all social strata. The people will not accept the imperial enlightenment. No matter how hard it is for Ming Dynasty to maintain long-term stability, it is not appropriate!"
