Zhang Ximeng hurriedly came to Fengtian Hall. It was different from the past. The atmosphere today was particularly solemn. Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon chair. The civil servants headed by Sun Yan were all trembling with fear, with sad faces, as if they had been scolded...
...Zhang Ximeng glanced at it and felt something was wrong, but he still saluted Lao Zhu.
Then he wanted to sit in his seat, but suddenly found that the seat he had been preparing for had miraculously disappeared today... What the hell is this?
Is Zhu Chongba going to fall out?
As expected, Lao Zhu suddenly said: "Mr. Zhang, today we have read Annan's strategy in Zhongshu Provincial Economics again and again. After thinking about it, we found that it seems familiar. Sir, do you know the reason?"
Zhang Ximeng was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and there is nothing strange about it. These methods have been used in Korea and Japan, so they are just the same."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, pondered for a while, and then asked: "Mr. Zhang, do you think the things used in Korea and Japan can be used in Annan?"
Zhang Ximeng was shocked again. He knew Zhu Yuanzhang so well that he understood what His Majesty the Emperor meant almost instantly.
"Your Majesty, Goryeo originated from Jizi Korea, and the Japanese country was isolated on the sea. It was nominally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but its origin... was different. Speaking of Annan, before the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it was directly under the Central Plains.
The territories have only been separated for a few hundred years, which is not too long. Many people in Annan are Han people who moved there. Their civil servants and military officers, including the royal family, all have Han blood."
After hearing what Zhang Ximeng said, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened a lot. He turned to look at Sun Yan and other ministers, and suddenly snorted coldly: "Listen, what kind of knowledge does the Grand Master have, and what kind of knowledge do you have? It's really disappointing.
!”
Lao Zhu snorted angrily: "I haven't prepared a seat for the Grand Master yet."
Only then did someone bring Zhang Ximeng’s chair over. Yes, the chair Zhang Ximeng was sitting on was a genuine chair. It was guaranteed to be a genuine one.
When Zhang Ximeng sat down, Lao Zhu continued: "The more we look at the strategy of your Zhongshu Province, the more we get headaches... The whole article is about squeezing them to provide food and labor. We don't understand.
Why are you unwilling to run the land of Annam properly?"
Everyone was speechless after being questioned by Lao Zhu. In the end, it was Sun Yan who was unlucky and had to stand up reluctantly, "In response to your Majesty, Annan is a misty and remote place. It is too troublesome and wasteful to run it."
It’s too big, and the Ming Dynasty’s treasury is not very rich at the moment, so there’s nothing we can do about it!”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "We have heard your words so many times that our ears are numb... We have also been thinking about whether expanding overseas is just to make money and satisfy financial interests?
"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked slowly: "We all accept making money from Goryeo and making money from Japan. But a place like Annan, hundreds of years ago, was the hometown of the Central Plains. If you just squeeze it blindly, even if you can satisfy some interests
needs, there is no guarantee that the estrangement will not last long and can no longer be bridged... So, from our hearts, we don’t want this. We want to establish a Jiaozhou Chief Envoy. You can discuss it and see if it can be done.
OK!"
Lao Zhu finally saw it, and everyone understood why His Majesty the Emperor came!
It turned out that Lao Zhu wanted to overturn the established policy and negated the entire plan to manage Annan.
Naturally, there are also those that Sun Yan asked Zhang Ximeng for instructions.
No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhang Ximeng a slap in the face.
"You guys should discuss this matter. Let's discuss it here. We want to hear the result."
Zhang Ximeng had no choice but to agree, and then looked at everyone present.
He coughed softly and said: "Your Majesty's intention is to run Annan as the Central Plains. To put it bluntly, he wants to completely erase the country of Annan and allow the broken history after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms to be continued again. You guys also want to talk about it.
Come up with ideas!”
Good guy, this is one level at a time. Lao Zhu asked Zhang Ximeng to say it, and Zhang Ximeng let the big guy say it.
However, Zhang Ximeng's interpretation of Lao Zhu's original intention is still very accurate.
It was Zhu Yuanzhang who realized the special situation of Annan. He did not want to simply extract benefits from Annan. He wanted to return Annan to its historical status.
Sun Yan had no choice but to say: "Grand Master, at this moment, all the Annan and Chen Dynasty royal families have been killed. They are leaderless and the country's power is weakened. We only need to confer new kings on them and force them to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty. The next thing will be easy.
.If the Chief Envoy is established, all the local powerful people in Annan will be offended... This method is certainly good, but I am afraid that the cost will be too high."
As soon as he finished speaking, a person from the crowd took a step forward. This person was Qian Tang!
He handed over to Zhang Ximeng and then said: "Prime Minister Sun, you said that with the help of Annan's new king, you will continue to squeeze and plunder. Although you can get some benefits, it is of no benefit to the country. The money you earn is just going to the pockets of some rich people.
, I absolutely oppose it. It seems that the Ming Dynasty did not contribute much, but in fact it was all wealthy businessmen who benefited. This is not what the Ming Dynasty should do!"
After Qian Tang finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Ximeng slightly and then lowered his head.
Just this one glance contains too many profound meanings.
Zhang Ximeng understood almost instantly... Lao Zhu's abnormality was definitely due to Qian Tang.
This guy participated in the compilation of history, made suggestions, and wrote several articles to support Zhang Ximeng's ideas... Everyone thought he was Zhang Ximeng's best friend, the kind who only followed orders.
But as Zhang Ximeng said, he has no party affiliation!
Even Qian Tang was not his henchman.
What is happening before us is the best proof.
Zhang Ximeng lowered his head and pondered, and then asked: "Qian Tang, can you explain it in more detail?"
Qian Tang said: "Of course, Taishi. In fact, this is also the confusion that Xiaguan has been having for a long time... What is the purpose of our expansion? Is it to relieve the population, to gain wealth? Or to open up frontiers.
Expand the land and create an unprecedented prosperous Ming Dynasty?"
Zhang Ximeng frowned slightly, "It's both of those things you said."
"But I want to know, which one is the most important?"
Zhang Ximeng was startled and asked: "What do you think?"
"Xiaguan believes that the expansion of China should be the first priority!"
Zhang Ximeng whispered: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that a place like Annan, which is so close to the Ming Dynasty, has similar habits to the Central Plains, and has frequent population exchanges... cannot just be used as a place to gain wealth. We must also work hard to return Annan to the Ming Dynasty and turn it into Kyushu.
Land. Also, except for Annan, if the rest of the area is willing to go to the country to a certain extent, it should also be allowed to be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty. In a word, when we develop externally, we cannot just pursue monetary interests. This is my
My opinion. If there are any shortcomings, please forgive me!"
After Qian Tang finished speaking, there was a brief silence, and then Zhang Ximeng stretched out his hands and clapped his hands.
After a brief silence, the rest of the people also clapped their hands together.
The crisp and warm applause made Qian Tang feel a little dazed. He looked around blankly, especially when he saw Zhang Ximeng's smiling face, he became panicked for no reason.
In fact, when the Ming Dynasty started to operate in the north, Korea and Japan, Qian Tang didn't feel any problems. But when it was Annan's turn.
Especially when an uprising broke out in Annan with the goal of equalizing land, Qian Tang was greatly shocked.
No matter what, you can say that they are a mob or that it is difficult for them to achieve anything! But Annan has finally embarked on the path of imitating the Central Plains.
People's hearts are like this, how can they bear to let them down?
So when Qian Tang saw things like canonizing Hu Ji Ya as the King of Annan, naming Hu Yiyuan, requiring both parties to do business, allowing craftsmen to travel, etc... Qian Tang couldn't help but feel angry when he saw this... The more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Comfortable.
Isn't this just a copy of the way Goryeo was treated in Annan?
But the problem is that Korea can't even tolerate Xin Min, so everything is to blame.
Here in Annan, the people have revolted, but the situation is still different.
If we continue to do what we have done in the past, it will hurt people's hearts.
Once you get used to it, you won't be able to get Annan back completely.
"Grand Master, in short, I think there are always some things that cannot just be calculated as monetary gains. If the Grand Master thinks it is appropriate, I am willing to ask for orders to go to Annan to implement equalization of land..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Ximeng waved his hand and said: "I understand what you mean. I also fully agree with your proposition. Indeed, when we expanded our business in the past, we always thought that we could not lose money. But as a country, there are always things we must insist on. , these things are far higher than money!”
Zhang Ximeng said: "Your Majesty, I think we should formulate a rule. When it reaches a certain level, it will be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty and counted as the land of China's nine states. When opening up to the outside world, this item should also be put at the top!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, "What you said, sir, is of course good. So what do you think we should do next?"
Zhang Ximeng thought about it and immediately said: "We should provide shelter to the rebels and civilians. Allocate 50,000 troops and station them on the border between Annan and Daming. You can hand them over to Governor Zhu Ying!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded immediately, "He is familiar with the situation and can indeed do it!"
Then Zhang Ximeng said: "The next king of Annan, no matter who he is, must first express his support for the equalization of land. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty be canonized as king. If no one is willing, then mobilize troops and horses, march south in a big way, and use Mount Tai to top it. To eradicate all the powerful forces in Annan. If you resist the superior country, there is only a dead end!"
This statement is totally different from the original strategy.
However, the changes in the situation in Annan and the people's attitude towards the equalization of land also affected the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty. It is true that we cannot just settle the economic accounts. The most important thing is to make China bigger and stronger and move towards true glory.
Don’t forget your original intention!
Just after the Ming court reached a consensus, the entire Annan fell into a full-scale war... More and more people came forward, and powerful men were killed every day, with their heads hung on bamboo poles...
At the same time, powerful people, officials, and soldiers also quickly gathered together and quickly suppressed the mob. The death of the common people was a thousand times, a hundred times that of the powerful people!
Outside Zhang Dong's military camp, people were already kneeling and praying.
The country must be merciful and help us!
Zhang Dong's scalp was numb. He only had a few hundred people, and his identity was fake. Even if he wanted to help, he was powerless... Just as he was scratching his hair, someone suddenly shouted.
"The decree has arrived! Come and receive it quickly!"
