Chapter 667 In Daming, people are the most honorable!
Facing Liu Bowen, Zhu Ying acted honestly and did not dare to make excuses at all.
"Your Majesty has been in power for ten years. Such a big thing must be perfect and flawless. If Mr. Bowen has any instructions, just tell him."
Liu Bowen smiled and said, "I have something to say, so I won't hide it from you. The division of provinces by the Yuan Dynasty was really too hasty. A province of Henan and Jiangbei has now been divided into Huaixi Province and Huaidong Province. Next Well, we have included the prefectures and counties north of the Yellow River, such as Weihui, Huaiqing, Zhangde and other places, into Henan. Is this intention not difficult to understand?"
Zhu Ying nodded and said: "Let Henan and Hebei be put together, cooperate with each other, and coordinate yin and yang!"
Liu Bowen burst out laughing. As expected, he came out with Zhang Ximeng. Even though he was a martial artist, his words were nice.
"Now that we have seen this level, it is logical that Xiangyang, De'an, Anlu, and Huangzhou should be included in Huguang Province!"
Zhu Ying nodded, but couldn't help but said: "In this case, will Huguang Province be too big?"
Liu Bowen smiled and said: "That's exactly what we said, so we need to carve out another province. What we mean is to carve out a province between Huguang, Yunnan, and Guangxi, tentatively named Guizhou. What do you think?"
Zhu Ying thought for a while and immediately said: "If you create a province in this way, you will cut the original Tusi into two provinces and disperse them into two provinces. Their strength will be greatly weakened, which will be much more convenient, right?"
Liu Bowen nodded, "That's very true, but if you do this, Yunnan Province will lose some territory!"
"Then go! After all, this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, can I still object?" Zhu Ying said generously: "Mr. Bowen, you just make arrangements. What is good for the Ming Dynasty is good for your majesty. What is good for your majesty is good for you. Be good to me! I won't have any objections, sir, please rest assured."
Liu Bowen was startled. To be honest, since the provinces were divided, the terrain has been the most complicated in the southwest, and it is also recognized as the most difficult to clear.
But because of Zhu Ying's relationship, she became the most talkative one.
Zhu Ying's territory is not just Yunnan, he has also been operating in Lingnan for a long time.
Since the part of Jiangxi Province that extended to Lingnan was cut off at Dayuling, Jiangxi no longer had a coastal area, but received Jingdezhen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces as compensation.
The Lingnan part also needs to be cut off and turned into two provinces, namely Guangdong and Guangxi. Then Guangxi needs to cut off a large piece from Yunnan to form a complete province.
In other words, the two extra provinces of Guizhou and Guangxi will be cut from Yunnan, and they will still get the fattest piece.
If it were anyone else, there would definitely be a scene, no need to doubt it.
In fact, in recent years, provinces have been divided into provinces. Because of the ownership of a prefecture, a county, or even a mountain or a river, there have been many lawsuits filed against Zhongshu Province.
When the matter came to Zhu Ying, after chatting with Liu Bowen, he not only agreed to divide the provinces, but also assured Liu Bowen with a pat on his chest that he would be responsible for the affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi. He was willing to work with Tang He on the affairs of Guizhou. The handling, in short, will not cause trouble to the court,
Liu Bowen was moved. To be honest, if all civil servants in the world were half as sensible as Zhu Ying, national affairs would not be so difficult to promote...
"Marquis Xiping, let's have a quick talk. I want to say a few more words, which are related to Prime Minister Zhang. I wonder if you can listen to me?"
Zhu Ying said quickly: "Mr. Bowen, eldest brother and I are closer than real brothers. I used to be the one who acted nonsense, and I can't help my eldest brother. If I do something wrong now, please give me some advice from Mr. Bowen!"
Liu Bowen smiled and nodded, "Actually, my son teaches at Jimin Academy."
"Ah! Is there still such a thing?"
"Well, he told me that Zhang Funing is talented, kind-hearted, and not delicate at all. It is especially rare. He is determined to be a teacher and teach and educate people. It is really rare."
Zhu Ying was shocked, "Mr. Bowen, I, my eldest nephew wants to be a teacher? He, he is not kidding, is he! My eldest brother is the King of Lu, right minister... A son inherits his father's legacy and becomes a general and prime minister. That's what he wants."
What he should do!"
Liu Bowen chuckled, "It is Prime Minister Zhang's responsibility to serve as a general and become a prime minister. As the eldest son of Prime Minister Zhang Funing, countless eyes in the world are staring at him. There are too many people who want to involve him in the circle of right and wrong and pull him away.
If you capture him, you will also capture Prime Minister Zhang... Hou Xiping, you and Prime Minister Zhang are close brothers, don't you not understand this truth?"
Zhu Ying was horrified. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but slap her forehead!
"I, why didn't I think of that! I will let Zhu Chun come back now!" "Don't!"
Liu Bowen stopped Zhu Ying and said, "I also heard that you sent your son to Jimin Academy before I remembered this. So I boldly remind you. Prime Minister Zhang is not willing to cause trouble, so why bother to implicate himself in Xiping Hou Yongzhen in Yunnan?"
The circle of right and wrong! Wouldn’t it be better to stay in the south of the colorful clouds and focus on opening up the territory and defending the country and guarding the borders?"
Zhu Ying was startled, then smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Bowen, of course that's what I planned, but..."
Liu Bowen waved his hand decisively, "It's not just that the Marquis of Xiping and Prime Minister Zhang sit in the middle of the court and are in charge of the provinces. We just hope that the court officials can act in accordance with the rules and not have any wrong ideas. The throne has been determined early, and the king will guard the borders.
.This is the conclusion! Don’t be suspicious, let alone act casually. Brothers can just get along normally!
H
After coming out of Liu Bowen's place, Zhu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and was finally relieved of her worries.
I was originally thinking that there would be a drama about seizing the direct line of succession, but now it seems that I was completely over-concerned.
In this case, should we let our son come back?
Zhu Ying hesitated for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
Wouldn't it be better to let him follow Zhang Shuning!
Children can do whatever they want and learn whatever they want.
He is not a son. Even if Chun'er needs to inherit the sleeping position, it seems that he cannot do what he likes. After all, the eldest son of Prince Lu is free and he is just a Marquis of Xiping, so what do he care about?
Zhu Ying quickly figured it out. In fact, there was no conflict between him and Zhu Dizhi. He was also Zhu Yuanzhang's son and his own brother. Why were he so hostile to him?
Do I have any grudge against him? Yes?
Returning to the mansion, looking around, Zhu Ying nodded seriously. He was very sure that not only did he have a grudge against Zhu Di, but he also had an sworn hatred!
It is not easy for a man to develop some interests.
I want to keep some rare and exotic animals in captivity,
In the end, Zhu Di ate them all!
This is like smashing a photographer's lens or breaking a fisherman's pole... Zhu Laosi, I'm not done with you!
You are no longer a child. You are in charge of the Beiping Left-behind Department. You are the king of one side.
If I ask you to pay ten times the compensation, it is not considered bullying!
My brother is settling the score, if you don't compensate me, it will be the end for us!
Zhu Di was not aware of the murderous intention in Yingtian City at all. He also took the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks to show off their power. When they returned from Peiping, they went straight to Yingtian. He prepared rich gifts for Lao Zhu.
Others also had their share. There were twenty tiger skins prepared for Zhang Ximeng alone. From leather pads, leather pants, leather quilts, to leather coats and leather hats, a complete set could be purchased.
Is there no one to care about such crazy tiger hunting?
Don’t you, Mr. Zhu, know how to protect animals?
Sorry, it's really hard for him.
The bare land in Peiping is thousands of miles away, and the people have no way to survive, and even people can't live well. How can you think about protecting animals! No matter how rare they are, you can't.
Nowadays, even if you catch a panda to fill your stomach, there is no way to punish him.
And Zhu Di also found a way to make money
When he was in Peiping, he could buy furs from the grasslands, Liaodong and other places, and then sell them in the south.
The further north you go, the colder the place, the more high-quality furs are produced... His Peiping is too short of people, and there are tigers and bears everywhere, and he really needs helpers to help him.
When he comes to Beijing this time, everyone will give some, especially the military generals. If he can lure some veterans to Peking, he will make a lot of money.
Ten-year-old Zhu Di has an instinct that is almost like a beast.
You say this kid is so scheming and calculating, but that’s not necessarily true!
But Zhu Di seemed to be born with the ability to win over people's hearts and know what was best for him. The dynasty was full of civil and military officials, and there were so many civil and military elites. He had so many children.
However, there are only two people who can catch Zhu Di's eyes. One is the talented little friend Zhang Shuning... and the other is the eldest daughter of Xu Da's family:
Ten-year-old Zhu Di can't understand more things, but he just likes this sister... This time when he came back from Peking, he prepared twenty cans of honey alone.
Xu Yatou cries as soon as she takes the medicine. She is naturally afraid of bitterness and likes sweets. Give her some honey to make sure she likes it. This is unlike Zhang Shuning. Zhang Shuning will not frown even if the medicine soup is bitter.
After not seeing each other for several months, I finally came back to see them. I don’t know how they are doing...
Zhu Di swaggered across the Yangtze River and arrived at Jinling
But when he just arrived at the city gate, he found that many people had gathered.
Zhu Di was curious, what else happened?
Just as he was driving forward, a fierce horse suddenly rushed out from the crowd. After hitting several people, it headed straight for Zhu Di's carriage.
With almost no hesitation, Zhu Di decisively ordered, "Kill!"
The guards hurriedly rushed over and shot for a long time, which gave them amazing reflexes. They shot the horse into a spear and fell into a pool of blood.
Among the crowd, there were other horses that seemed to be rushing out,
The guards stepped forward decisively and killed the other three frightened horses.
As for the injured people who were knocked down by the horses, they were also lifted up. Some people had broken bones and legs and were quickly sent to the hospital for treatment.
At this moment, the owners of the horses seemed to realize that they were dressed strangely, very different from those in the Ming Dynasty, and the hair accessories on their heads looked a bit like people from the Yuan Dynasty.
They rushed over and shouted angrily, "This, this is our tribute to the Ming Emperor. How dare you kill him?"
Zhu Di immediately darkened his face, "Since it is a tribute, you should take care of it!"
The visitor was unconvinced and actually sneered: "Our horses are so splendid that you don't have them at all. That's why you came here to see He Jingping. He got hit because of his own fault! They are just untouchables. Now that our horse is dead, we still need you."
pay!"
"Fart!" Zhu Di sneered: "In our Ming Dynasty, no matter how noble the beasts are, they are not as valuable as people! I see, you are from Korea, right? Show off the horses that Yuan Ting left for you!
Okay! In that case, don't be polite! First take off their clothes, then peel off the horse skin, put it on your body, and parade through the streets! Let them know how powerful the Ming Dynasty is!"
