Chapter 1078 Everything is on the right track
Hearing King Ping arrive in Beijing, Zhu Xu 'um', looked at Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong, and said: "After this time, it is a challenge and an opportunity for the 'new policy' and 'military reform'. The cabinet and the Grand Marshal's Office must take responsibility, show courage and courage, and don't let me stare at everything, urge you, do things for you..."
Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong listened to Zhu Xu's spitting, and their faces were calm and respectfully listened.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a situation where the monarch and ministers are like fish and fish. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di will not talk about it. In the near future, Wanli confronted the government and the opposition, and Tianqi entrusts the eunuch party. If he has made a serious decision, his relationship with the foreign court will be still "harmonious".
Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others said that in the Ming Dynasty, their character and ability are the best, and they have strong resistance to stress. Zhu Xu was not worried. He said a few words briefly and said: "You can also recommend candidates from the National Parliament and Strategy Department. Don't resist, and don't ignore it. Balance your mindset and look at the long-term..."
Zhu Xu said, and a round body appeared outside the door of the East Nuan Pavilion. He had an innocent face and was sweating heavily. He wiped his sweat while looking inside.
Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong also saw it, and their expressions were thoughtful.
The geographical location of Bei'annan is extraordinary and is becoming more and more important to the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, it also inherits Zhu Xu's ambitions, and the cabinet needs to be carefully planned.
After Zhu Xu finished speaking, Sun Chengzong suddenly interrupted and said, "Your Majesty, Bei'annan, do you want to make special arrangements?"
While calling King Ping in, Zhu Xu said, "No, the troops in Yunnan and other places need to be cut, and the cavalry should not be left in Yunnan and Bei'annan, the army in Yunnan is not retained. Only one Governor's Office is mainly used to maintain order, reclaim, and accept disaster victims. As for Dorgon and Nan'annan, don't interfere, let them go and make trouble. Let's watch it very well..."
Sun Chengzong already understood that Zhu Xu wanted Dorgon to disturb the Southeast Peninsula and accept the strategy of the future Ming Dynasty. However, whether it is Huang Taiji or Dorgon, they are all deep-minded and ambitious people. If they are not prepared enough and bitten back, the consequences will be quite serious.
Zhu Xu knew Sun Chengzong's concerns, stood up and said with a smile: "Don't worry. As long as I am here, Dorgon will not dare to do anything randomly. What's more, Dorgon has a great use and will not waste it so much. Whether Dorgon raises his own troops or I tolerate traitors, this kind of thing does not exist. Go, I will chat with the emperor's uncle."
Seeing that Zhu Xu was so confident, Sun Chengzong didn't say much. Unlike Liaodong, Annan has too little threat to the Ming Dynasty, so it will be easy to deal with it and there is no worries about the country.
"I'm leaving." Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong raised their hands and said.
Zhu Xu nodded, and before they could walk far, he looked at the Pingwang who came in and said with a smile: "Uncle Emperor, are you fat again?"
King Ping looked silly, as if he didn't care about anything. He looked at Zhu Xu and laughed happily, but he was already fat, and now he had gained weight, and his clothes couldn't cover his stomach.
"I will meet the emperor." King Ping looked happy and smiled and raised his hand to bow.
"Let's go and have a cold shower and feel comfortable." Zhu Xu said and pulled King Ping out.
This summer is so hot that people feel uncomfortable all over, and even their breathing seems to be hot and uncomfortable.
King Ping didn't say much, followed Zhu Xu to the "bathroom" behind the Ganqing Palace, and had prepared two round wooden barrels. Zhu Xu quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the water in his big shorts. The ice water suddenly flooded half of his body. Zhu Xu was shocked and finally breathed a long sigh.
King Ping looked at Zhu Xu, was stunned for a while, then looked at the big wooden bucket next to him, and quickly took off his clothes, and with the help of the maid, he carefully entered the ice water bucket.
There was a small chair in the bucket, and both of them sat down slowly, and then breathed a long sigh. It was hot and cold, which made them tremble all over.
"How about the emperor, is it comfortable?" After a moment, Zhu Xu turned to look at King Ping and said with a smile.
King Ping leaned over and said with a smile, "It's more comfortable than a cold shower. This is the first time I took this."
Zhu Xu adapted for a while, leaned against the bucket and said, "I have only been twice... I don't have to worry at home. A while ago, the queen went out of the palace to visit her relatives and went to the royal palace. Aunt, the emperor and the emperor brothers are all good, so you can be safe and happy..."
King Ping was not worried about this at all, and smiled and said, "With the emperor here, I am not worried."
Zhu Xu was covered in ice water, and the heat was much less. After waiting for a while, he said, "I know that the emperor is in a hurry to go back. Let me tell me about what I have seen along the way."
King Ping kept leaning over and immediately said, "Yes. I went north all the way, and the first thing I felt was that the weather was too hot, and the south was hotter than the capital. Even if I hid in the woods, it was still very hot. There were too many beggars everywhere, some were rich in oil, and some even starved to death from time to time. Local governments, especially at the county level, were powerless and helpless. There was no need to grow anything in the ground. No matter how much tax reduction in the court was, it was useless. And... they were indifferent, and they ate and drank a lot every day, and they did not take the court's heart. I asked, it was said that these people could be transferred to other places as long as they stayed for two years. As long as they did not make mistakes, the life and death here had nothing to do with them in the future..."
Zhu Xu listened silently, without interrupting.
King Ping's journey was an open and secret investigation, and he saw things that were at a glance that could not be concealed.
Zhu Xu also knew about this situation, but it could not be fundamentally solved in a short period of time. Only by pushing the "new policy" to the bottom, implementing various policies, and increasing control over local areas, can this situation of "people are overdoing things" be avoided.
When King Ping saw that Zhu Xu did not speak, his voice was a little calm. "The drought in the south is more serious than expected. Yunnan, Fujian, Jiangxi, Huguang, Shandong, and even Nanzhili have experienced severe droughts. Other places can be imagined..."
"Some places are exempt from taxes, but there are no local areas. Moreover, the landlords' rents are increasing year by year, and the imperial court's decrees have not been implemented, and some civil chaos comes from this..."
"The bandits in various places are endless. People are living in poverty. I have seen too many people. I have said that they have eaten each other, but they still have too many children. I was in a bad mood along the way. I didn't want to tell the emperor immediately, but I think the emperor must want to know, so I will talk about it first..."
Although Pingwang said it simply, it is the most realistic and cruel thing.
Although the Ming Dynasty looks stable overall, it is full of dangers and is not peaceful everywhere. If it weren't for being scattered everywhere, it would be like a firefly and not conspicuous. However, if it were connected on the map, it would definitely shock countless people's chins!
Zhu Xu was soaked in the water, laughed, his mind turned, and said, "Tell me about the situation in Bei'annan."
King Ping looked at Zhu Xu and said, "The situation in Bei'annan is much better than I expected before. The land is not a wasteland in Liaodong. It has been reclaimed and planted. It can be sown with a little planning. However, many people are not used to the climate there, and there are many miasmas, which can easily die. They have to find a way to slowly... Immigration is slow because of this, but after this year, it should be much easier. It is no problem to receive one or two million people a year, as long as the court has sufficient money and food..."
After immigration, it took two or three years to be self-sufficient. During this period, a considerable part of the imperial court needs to spend and support.
"Mr. Wen is preparing to set fire to the forest. Chen means to cut down slowly. After all, firewood is worth some money..."
"Mr. Wen is still very capable. He treats Bei'annan equally, basically without any trouble, and is very peaceful..."
"Bei Annan is basically no threat, it is separated from Nanzhang and others by mountains, and is very similar to Liaodong. The only inappropriate thing is Nanannan. Lord Wen is very worried about Nanannan and said that Dorgon is not my race, so his heart will be different..."
"I also have this concern, but Dorgon is indeed responsible for his work and has given us a lot of worries. He has half of the contribution to the stability of Bei'annan..."
"Nan'annan also gave me 300,000 stones of grain and 10,000 silver every year, so there is no benefit..."
Zhu Xu could hear that King Ping and Wen Tiren were still very worried about Dorgon. He was full of vigilance and signaled King Ping to continue.
King Ping is a man who is very wise and foolish. He has great wisdom and does not mean that he is very capable. Everything he says is messy. He is a scholar, peasant, industrial and commercial businessman. He hammers the east and the west. Although he has organized it in advance, there is still no system.
No wonder he was really embarrassed to ask him to handle secular affairs after half his life.
Zhu Xu slowly analyzed from his words and nodded from time to time.
The situation in Bei'annan was better than he expected. This year was the first time immigrating and could not accept many people. However, with the foundation this year, it would be no problem to accept four or five million people in the next three years. By then, the pressure in Shaanxi and Sichuan will be greatly reduced. After these years, Liaodong will be almost digested, and other places can continue to immigrate, which will not only enrich the desolate areas of the border and consolidate the territory, but also alleviate internal disasters and survive the small ice river with the minimum loss.
"Well, next, we can all save a little lighter."
Zhu Xu thought, and said with a smile.
