First Prince of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 727

  Chapter 727 Face

“Last year, Liu Bowen reported that there were more than 84,000 households in Sichuan People’s Government, of which more than 23,000 households were occupied by local gentry officials. The days are short and livelihoods are hard to maintain, so you should pay more attention after you go.”

“The old officials of Erxia are the same as the officials of the former Yuan Dynasty. The officials are corrupt and follow the rules. They take bribes and take bribes to enrich themselves. The evils in Shu are the same as all the states in the world. It is an important code to eliminate the corruption of officials in Shu.”

While speaking, Zhu Biao asked Liu Jin to pass a memorial to Mingsheng. It was played by Guo Shuwen, the magistrate of Deyang County, and Liu Bowen forwarded it. Years of pay, boats and vehicles are impassable, shoulders and shoulders are burdened, and the people are suffering. The old fields in Chengdu are all barren and dead. Please use the relegated people to cultivate them for food on the side.

  Ming Sheng looked at it quickly and then pondered: “It is said that the world is peaceful, and the imperial court exempted the per capita tax and encouraged marriage and multiplication. There is no rush to move the family in Sichuan.”

Zhu Biao shook his head slightly: “There are few Han people in the land of Yunnan and Guizhou. In the future, there will be few people who will be relocated from Shu. What’s more, the land is connected to the Southeast Asian countries. The road is blocked and dangerous. The court’s supply is simple. If there are few people to supply the frontier army, it may become a problem. Big trouble.”

   “This palace is planning to organize relocation from Shaanxi, Huguang and other places, and the first priority is the big family.”

Local aristocratic families have been entrenched in the local area for many years, and they are deeply rooted in controlling people’s livelihood. For example, the clerks of the prefectures and counties are also a special political force. the countryside.

  One or two officials are like running water, they can manage for a while but not for a lifetime, it is better to directly move their roots and break their momentum, and use their family property accumulation to expand and develop sideways, and also to change the new atmosphere for the Central Plains.

   “Your Highness, Shengming, I suggest…”

  ………

In the Fengtian Palace, Doctor Yu Shi came forward and said: “Thanks to the great grace of the Holy God, Guide Hou Chen Li Guiyi Hou Mingsheng was pardoned for his guilt, and he was honored as the Marquis and enjoyed all the wealth and honor, but he didn’t know how to appreciate it. Chen Li expressed his resentment at home. Words… It can be seen that the nature is hard to change, and it is not a person who lives in peace…”

   Zhu Yuanzhang’s expression on the dragon chair remained unchanged. With Chen Han and Mingxia’s former subordinates returning to stability, the status of these two people in Beijing became more and more embarrassing, but it was not easy to deal with them directly.

  After all, when they surrendered, they promised to be rich and peaceful, and they did so well that they had the dignity of a loser. After all, they were not Chen Youliang and Ming Yuzhen, two children of the younger generation.

  According to his thinking, just find any reason to send them to the vassal state, and let their descendants not be allowed to return to Daming for generations, but his son can’t go to see Mingsheng early, obviously it is necessary.

  If you want him to say that it is unnecessary, what else can the imperial court lack? And that Liu Bowen, who is clearly showing his pity to their father and son, is he dying of illness?

  But the son is getting older and his principles are upright, so there is nothing he can do about it, not to mention that with the growing prosperity of Ming Dynasty and the progress of things in Korea and Dongying, as an emperor, the greedy desire for land and population gradually surged in his bones.

  If Daming can really conquer the grasslands, Central Plains, Liaodong, Koryo, Dongying and other places in Southeast Asia, what a glorious country it will be. Can the Daming he built with his own hands really reach that point?

When the imperial censor’s impeachment was over, Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and said: “However, the children are young and ignorant, and my father will not care about them. All my kindness, it is better to live far away.”

  Hu Weiyong came out and bowed: “Your Majesty has no faults. My minister tried to say that it would be better to send Marquis Guide and Guiyi to Korea, and let the king of Korea take care of him, so as to fulfill the promise of the past.”

   “The Marquis of Guiyi is intelligent and loyal, so it doesn’t have to be so. Let’s send Marquis Guide Chen Li to Goryeo. The Ministry of Rites plans to give King Luo Qi of Goryeo court clothes, asking him to take good care of Marquis Guide.”

   “No.”

  ………

   “Fudi, what do you mean?”

  Pan Fu sat on a chair and smiled, “It’s just for self-protection. My father is gone. I am the only seedling of the Pan family. I really can’t bear the incense burner. Please take care of me, brothers.”

Zhao Zhen suppressed his anger and put down the account book in his hand and said earnestly: “My brother, if you want to kill someone or want a woman in these counties, I can help you. Brother can’t do anything, brother, you can’t drag our whole family to be buried with you.”

  The ink on the account in his hand is still wet, obviously it was sent up shortly after copying it, and it will not help if it is destroyed. Damn, there are still people available under this kid.

Pan Fu smiled and said nothing, Zhao Zhen softened his tone: “There are still a few shameless girls in my brother’s house, all of whom are decent in appearance and posture, so, while you can delay, you can use the upper hand to give you Pan Fu Leave a seed at home.”

“Fu brother, don’t worry, I will treat your flesh and blood as my own. I dare not say that I will leave him more than my own son in the future, but it will definitely not be far behind. At least there are hundreds of acres of fertile land and a few shops. To make a living, marrying a wife and having children cannot break the incense of your family.”

  The few people on the side also hurriedly spoke to persuade and promised that after a while, the child who didn’t know who would fall into the belly was already rich.

  These people in the hall are the big gentry in these counties and prefectures, and they are very generous when it comes to their wealth and life.

  No way, Pan Fu hid the accounts of the correspondence. If it was leaked out, those adults in Beijing would not know, but it is certain that they will be exiled and assigned by no family.

Pan Fu still smiled and said nothing, Zhao Zhen’s face jumped when he saw it. He was doing private salt business, and private salt dealers were the most ruthless and cruel. Now he hacked this guy to death with his own hands.

Although I have already sent someone to look for it, I can’t guarantee that I will find it. Pan Fu is always a black-hearted guy who does things properly. The predicament of today.

  Jiang Shiru, who was sitting at the top, sighed and said: “People who want to come to the Ministry of Punishment will soon find it here. You can go to Jianping to avoid the limelight. Let’s contact Jingli, and then think of a way to turn around.”

  Pan Fu stood up and cupped his hands: “Thanks to elder brother for not giving up, then younger brother will go ahead, brothers, leave.”

  When he stepped out of the room, Zhao Zhen couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart, and smashed the teacup to the ground: “I was kind enough to save him, but this wolf cub bit me back!”

A staff member wearing a scarf hat and a fat seat that creaked squinted his small eyes, sipped his tea and laughed, “I really can’t kill him? When he’s dead, let the news out and return the account book. There is a thousand pieces of gold to thank you.”

   “That is, when the lamp is turned off when a person dies, who would fight for a dead person?”

  Jiang Shiru shook his head and said: “The Pan family has always treated outsiders cruelly and preferentially to their own people. After more than a hundred years, there are still a few stubborn families who have children. We can’t afford to bet.”

“Let’s procrastinate, let’s take a step and look at it first, and let people quickly find out the account books and letters, and at the same time continue to send people to Beijing to ask for the Lord. In the end, it’s just these things. It’s easy.”

   “Hey, that’s the only way to go.”

   “Well, the people from the Ministry of Punishment are going this way, hehe, even though they are the messengers in Beijing, it is not easy to arrest people in our territory.”

   “Hmph, cats catch mice, but our place is full of holes, and the holes are connected to each other. Without our help to plug and fill the holes, what if there are a hundred cats?”

“Ha ha ha ha.”

  Pan Fu, who had just stepped out of the gate of the Zhao Mansion, looked back slightly, as if he heard that insane laughter, but in fact, it was impossible to hear it from such a long distance.

“Father, we can’t just go on the road. I don’t dare to move for the sake of my elder sister, the masters in Beijing, but these guys who pushed my Pan family to a dead end, can they continue to enjoy their blessings? That’s too unfair , just wait and see, my son will try his best to live for a few more days, and find more funerals for our grandfather.”

   These people have always felt that they stay out of the matter, and at worst abandon the Pan family, as long as they don’t get in trouble, they still don’t pay enough attention to this matter, and they still don’t see it clearly enough.

  Is this an ordinary matter of oppressing the people and seeking their fat and anointing?

It’s not anymore, it’s a matter of the face of the emperor, the lives of the common people are nothing, but the face of the emperor is greater than the sky, under the feet of the emperor, no matter what, it must be the first good place on the surface, and any stains must be thoroughly treated Only when it is washed off.
