Chapter 214 Thunderstorm (5)

The meeting continued in the Ganqing Palace.

However, at this time, there were only Zhu Yunxiu, Ping'an Xu Huizu, and the Minister of War Ru Wei.

Zhu Yunxiu walked into the warm pavilion, and several ministers followed closely. Then he sat down on the Arhat bed and slowly stretched out his feet.

The guard Deng Ping, who was outside the door, bowed in and gently helped him pull off his boots.

"Since you returned to Beijing, I have not seen you alone, how about Goryeo?" Zhu Yunsheng asked Ping'an.

"With the kindness and power of the people, it is generally stable!" Ping'an thought, "but I am a warrior, and I am only responsible for guarding and training the army to quell the rebellion. As for governing the local area, it is not what I can..."

"I understand what you mean!" Zhu Yunxiu leaned against the cushion and smiled slightly, "You can't care about some things in different ways!" As he said, the smile on his face became a little different, "I heard that all officials appointed in Goryeo are greedy, right?"

"This..." Ping'an thought about it and laughed in a low voice, "I have heard of it a little, but I know that the more people in Goryeo are, the more greedy they are after becoming an official, oppressing the people and extorting wealthy families, and doing everything they can!"

"Well!" Zhu Yunqiu refused to comment. It seems that it will take too long to quickly integrate Goryeo into the Ming Dynasty. Then we must govern Goryeo with Goryeo and quickly support a group of spokespersons with the same position and interests as the Ming Dynasty.

But the story of Goryeo is just an introduction to the story.

He looked at Ping An, took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Did you have any trouble of losing your salary during your tenure as a general manager of Goryeo?"

"I dare not!" Ping'an quickly stood up, feeling very frightened.

How could it be that there was no? The garrison in Goryeo was not the guards in the Ming Dynasty. The guards relied on farming, while the troops stationed in Goryeo relied on the money plundered from Goryeo as military pay, which was a big deal.

Besides, the military generals and lieutenant generals are far away from their hometowns. If they are mean to their money, it will be difficult to take on the soldiers.

"You said you didn't dare, I believe you!" Zhu Yunxi looked at Ping'an, "You and I are my own family, I believe you won't lie to me!"

Zhu Yunxiu's affairs in Goryeo are like a mirror, but special matters must be handled specially. Things like overseas garrisons are essentially different from domestic garrisons.

Slight sweat beads emerged from Ping'an's forehead, as if sitting on pins and needles.

"What Duke Cao said at the meeting today, what do you think?" Zhu Yunxiu glanced at the three of them and asked.

"When you go back to the emperor, there are indeed all kinds of bad habits in the army!" said Ru Wei, Minister of War. "It has been three years since the last census of military households and military fields. It is time to check it out again!"

Zhu Yunxiu released the imaginary enemy of Timur to rectify military affairs. But the emperor wanted to rectify military affairs, but wasn’t it an opportunity for the Ministry of War to seize power from the Governor’s Office of the Five Army?

When the old military marquis were in charge of printing, the Ministry of War was just a decoration.

Zhu Yunyu was happy to see this kind of struggle. In his vision, the Ministry of War was in charge of the inner and outer command of the Governor's Office. The Ministry of War was responsible for assessment and promotion, military management. The Governor's Office was responsible for overall strategy and expanded territory. The two restricted each other and complemented each other.

"Yes, it's time to check it out. It's only been a few years! There's nothing wrong with getting a job in the important towns in Jiubian!"

Zhu Yunyu picked up the tea bowl to cover half of his face and continued slowly, "Although Gansu is a border town, it is also a trade pass for tea and horses to change, and countless merchants are coming and going. Logically speaking, military officers want money, just plucking their hair by geese. Why do you still have to eat 20% of the vacancy now? It shows how greedy people are! I know how difficult it is for military generals, but if I let it go, I will probably not even have 80% in a few years."

As he spoke, he put down the tea bowl without waiting for the people on the other side to speak, "There are all border towns, what about the mainland? 60% or 50%?" He suddenly snorted coldly, "It has been like this for only more than 30 years since the founding of the country. In another twenty years, wouldn't it be that military equipment is slack? In another fifty years, will my Ming Dynasty become a piece of paper?"

Zhu Yunxiu's words were extremely heavy, and the three ministers did not dare to speak out, and they were panicked.

This kind of thing has been found in all dynasties and is difficult to eliminate. Military generals are no more than civil officials, and they have too few ways to make money, so they can only make plans on this.

"Safety!"

"I'm here!"

"I called you back from Goryeo to supervise the Jingying camp." Zhu Yunxiu said calmly, "Do you know why?"

"I... I'm ignorant, please tell me!"

Zhu Yunxiu had no expression on his face and tapped the table with his fingers, "I just asked you to come back and rectify the 180,000 troops in the Beijing camp!" As he said, his eyes quietly looked at the other party, "Can you manage it well?"

Ping An pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I, do my best!"

"Okay!" Zhu Yunsheng nodded, "If you can, just take care of it. Don't let me hear about any empty salary again!" As he said, his tone was slightly softer, "You are the adopted son of Grandpa, and you are a family with me. I can trust you."

Then, he spoke again, "Xu Huizu, Ru Wei!"

"I'm here!"

"There are two things there. I will tell you again. The list of officers and soldiers in the world and the military farms of the garrisons must be wrong." Zhu Yunxiu's eyes were a little warned, "I'll ask you to investigate, I'll really give you a decent attitude. Otherwise, if you can't find out, some people can find out!"

Xu Huizu Ruhua immediately replied, "I will obey the order!"

"The sign of the destruction of the country with a peaceful and peaceful culture!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "The collapse of the foundation starts with such a small matter. Other things can be chaotic, but the Ming army cannot be chaotic!"

Suddenly, Zhu Yunyu arrived and felt extremely tired.

Being an emperor is not a good job. Not only should you be more sensitive than others, but you should also be majestic and maintain the king's majesty with your ministers, otherwise you will not be inferior if you are far away.

The emperor cannot be a good person, nor can he accommodate others, he is tired!

At this moment, the guard Deng Ping came in from outside with some hesitation, bowed and walked to Zhu Yunxiu.

"Do you go back and do the job? I hope you will remember my words in your ears!"

Zhu Yunxiu waved his hand and waited for the three of them to retreat, and looked at Deng Ping.

The latter whispered, "Emperor, Prince Gaoyang is back to the capital!"

"With Lan Yu's coffin?" Zhu Yunyu picked up the teacup.

"No!" Deng Ping did not dare to look at Zhu Yunxi's expression, stared at the ground and whispered, "He... he cremated Lan Shuai and came back with his ashes!"

~~

"Second, are you trying to die?"

At the gate of the city, Zhu Gaochi, who was greeting Zhu Gaoxu, was trembling all the fat on his body.

"You..." he pointed to the small box hanging in front of Zhu Gaoxu, "Did you put the blue jade in it?"

"What should I do?" Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse forward. Because he had already been sloppy in his long journey, his eyes were bright. He stopped in front of a small stall selling sesame cakes, threw away a few copper coins, took a meat cake, and said while eating, "If you don't put it here, where to put it? A pickle jar?"

"You..." Zhu Gaochi was so angry that he couldn't even speak, "I... you are so desperate! The dignified national dynasty... you actually cremated?"

"What's wrong?" Zhu Gaoxu squinted his eyes and said dissatisfiedly, "Boss, don't scold me as soon as you come back!" As he said that, he lowered his head to look at the ashes hanging on his body, "How good is it? How light!"

"It is the greatest death!" Zhu Gaochi said angrily, "It is safe to be buried in the soil!"

"Isn't it the same if the bones are buried in the soil?" Zhu Gaoxu muttered, "Hmph, if you come back from transporting the corpse, maggots will grow before you can be buried in the soil. At that time, it will not be Lan Shuai's body, but a group of maggots!"
