Chapter 307 If (2)

It was another morning, exactly the same morning as yesterday.

The scenery of the Forbidden City day after day, it is such a quiet and unchanging palace city that has been around for a hundred years. Its square land for the whole world is dominating the whole world.

"It's hard for you to go to Beijing specifically!"

In the Ganqing Palace Warehouse, Zhu Yunqiu leaned against the soft collapse casually, without any monarchy at all, and spoke with a smile.

In front of him was a man in a python robe. He had long beards, broad face and a bronze skin. He was tall and strong, and he looked like a warrior.

After Zhu Yunxiu finished speaking, the man quickly stood up and half bent down and said, "I may have not entered Beijing for a long time. I have taken advantage of the fact that there is no war on the frontier now, and I want to meet the emperor and the emperor!"

"Sit!" Zhu Yunxiu smiled and waved his hand, "I'll say you to get up once, say you once, I'll be tired if you're not tired. You and my monarchs and ministers speak privately, don't talk so many rules!" As he said, he smiled, "You took over your father's title and guarded Yunnan. Many people in the court even said that you were young and experienced, and said that you were a disaster for the vassal state, and you said that you were young and experienced, and you said that you were in trouble. Hi!"

Zhu Yunxi continued, "Anyway, many people disagree. It was the Supreme Emperor who said at the court that Mu Chun's child is our family, so don't worry if he uses him!"

The man in front of him was the second generation of the Mu family who was granted by his old man to guard Yunnan for generations.

"I remember the favor of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, and I cannot repay you!" Mu Chun stood up again and said, "Everything in the Mu family was given by the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor. I am extremely stupid, so I only offer this life to the two emperors. Not only me, but also the male members of the Mu family..."

"Look, why do you get worse and worse? Why do you say it's life?" Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "I know your heart. I'm a good person in Yunnan. I usually give me more memorials. If you should ask for things, you should ask for grace. We are all a family. Don't learn from those foreign ministers, and go around with me!"

Indeed, for the Ming Dynasty, the Mu family was indeed not an outsider.

The old Mu Ying was adopted by the old man and Empress Ma. She grew up with Zhu Biao since she was a child and was a member of the Zhu family. The old man also treated Mu Ying as his own son and guarded Yunnan alive. This was the first part of the Ming Dynasty. After her death, she was posthumously given to the prince and buried around the tombs and was worthy of the Taimiao.

Mu Chun's personality follows his father, and they are all cautious and down-to-earth people. This time, they went to Beijing to report on the war in Yunnan last year and reported the list of those who have made contributions.

"In order to repay merit, I'm afraid that the Ministry of War will let your son suffer a loss?" Zhu Yunxi continued to smile.

After being pointed out, Mu Chun was a little shy, "It's not the case. This time I went to Beijing, I want to ask the emperor to give more oxen in Yunnan." As he said, he paused, "Last year, 100,000 hectares of land was reclaimed, half of which were granted to the family of the government army, and the barbarians in the forest. There are land, but oxen... and various iron tools are also in short supply. In addition, the emperor is asked to send people from the Ministry of Works to divert water and irrigate the fields. In addition, there are also official studies. There are not many scholars who can teach..."

Zhu Yunxiu thought, "Oh? Do you live together with the barbarians and the family members of the government army?"

"Yes!" Mu Chun said, "The barbarians in the mountains and forests have always been rebellious, but they are still simple by nature. I want to let them be together with the family of the government army, which can be slowly influenced. After intermarriage, they will be honest ordinary people after 10 or 20 years!"

"This method is good!" Zhu Yunxiu praised, "The Han and the Manchus are in harmony with each other. The Han people can maintain the martial spirit, and the barbarians can also be familiar with the etiquette. It's great!" As he said, thinking, "I asked the Ministry of Works to prepare you with oxen and iron tools, but are you a scholar who teaches?"

Yunnan is the frontier. The most difficult part to manage the frontier is actually not people's livelihood, but education. Since Muchun, Yunnan has widely promoted official studies, but it has not achieved good results after more than 20 years of experience. There are many students but few people who can teach.

"You also know that scholar Jin Gui would rather die in the Central Plains than go to the border!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled, "I will think of a solution after this!"

"It's not just a lack of scholars!" Mu Chun said, saying embarrassedly, "I also want to ask the emperor for someone!"

"Who do you want?" Zhu Yunxiu sat upright and took a tea ceremony.

"People!" Mu Chun said, "The reason why barbarians in Yunnan are always in chaos is that there are too few people. Moreover, during the war last year, the border with Myanmar was pushed forward for hundreds of miles. If there were no cities and no one to farm in those places, they would probably fall into the hands of those barbarians again in a few years!"

Indeed, there are also people who need land. The ancient dynasties in Zhongxia were not without pioneering times. The most fundamental reason why the territory they captured could not be defended is that there is no one. It is not possible to have an army alone, and an army without the people is duckweed.

"I want someone?" Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly, "I don't have anyone in my hands!"

There was a saying in later generations that we lack everything, that is, we do not lack people. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was a huge population for each vassal state, and the Ministry of Revenue counted nearly 70 million people. But in Zhu Yunyu's opinion, these populations were still too small.

Luzon had already set up a garrison, and merchant ships frequently made exchanges. But it was found that the immigrants there were all prisoners of crime. The people of the people just let the government speak out and just refused to go.

There is also Liaodong, which is still a military center now. The King of Liao wrote letters several times, so he would give him some people. When he went out, he would meet blind bears. Give him some people! But who will go?

This is how the people are. The better their lives, the less people are willing to move.

Having said that, if life can be good, who would be willing to leave his home and stay away from his hometown? It’s like going north and south in later generations, it’s just that there is nothing we can do about life.

"It's not that there is no!" Zhu Yunxiu thought, "Recently, the Ministry of Rites is preparing to pardon the world's cheap people. Then we can see if those cheap people are willing to go to Yunnan to open up land."

As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu felt that this seemed to be a very feasible solution.

After those lowly people were exempted from lowly people, they were also discriminated against in the local area and had no place to gain a foothold. So they simply moved to Liaodong or Yunnan, which was a way to the best of both worlds.

"No matter who you are, as long as you are a minister, you will want it!" Mu Chun was overjoyed.

"You're not picky!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and said casually, "How is Zhu Gaoxu in Yunnan?"

"This..." Mu Chun suddenly hesitated and thought for a long time before he spoke slowly, "Go back to the emperor, the second master of the Fourth Prince's family is in Yunnan... It's so unreasonable!"

Zhu Yunxiu looked at him, "I've caused you trouble!"

"That's not, but..." Mu Chun complained, "He killed people so much!" As he said that, he simply opened up the conversation, "After his thousands of soldiers, they are all dead prisoners. I heard that there are also outlaws who committed death row in the army!"

If you commit a death penalty in the army, you must have done a serious crime in private such as killing good people and robbing the people and ruining women. Such people are not afraid of death when fighting, but it is really difficult to manage.

"Since they arrived in Yunnan, they have not stopped. They have been put into pieces all day long and went to Burma to make grass valleys!" Mu Chun continued, "A businessman said that the people under the Second Master would kill everyone when they see them, and burn them when they see them..."

Speaking of this, he looked up and said, "Your Majesty, it's hard to say about this matter. He is the emperor's grandson. Wouldn't it damage my reputation as a Ming Dynasty? Besides, if the barbarians share the same hatred and war on the frontier will resurface, the court will launch a large army again..."

"I asked him once, when will he kill enough? Guess what he said? He said when the water in Nujiang was red, and when the Burmese people could no longer see him, then put away the knife!"

As he said that, he said indignantly, "I have said it deeply, and he still..."

"What else?" Zhu Yunxiu frowned.

Mu Chun lowered his head, "The Second Master said that the Emperor told him that no matter how big the territory he could capture, he would be granted as a fiefdom. He asked his ministers to meddle in other people's business!"

"Naked child!" Zhu Yunxi cursed in his heart.

At this time, the turtlema suddenly came in from outside.
