Qin Liangyu valued Li Xiangjun so much, which was beyond Chongzhen's expectations.
But after thinking about it carefully, Chongzhen also guessed Qin Liangyu's intention. He is really a mature man. Now he starts to make plans for the future of the Qin and Ma families?
Li Xiangjun is really a great supporter.
After all, she is his beloved concubine of Chongzhen.
However, Chongzhen was a little reluctant to leave Li Xiangjun in Huguang.
"Your Majesty, you can't bear to leave Li Xiangjun?" Qin Liangyu advised, "When I was reading historical records, I heard that every time Qin Shihuang destroyed a country, he would take its princesses, noble ladies and beauties into the harem. Your Majesty was also a heroic leader, and his wisdom, prowess, and martial arts were not inferior to those of the First Emperor.
There will be no hope of destroying the country in the future, so why worry about not having a beautiful woman by your side?"
"Which one is more important, the beloved concubine or the general, I hope the Holy One will understand clearly."
After a pause, he added: "What's more, the Holy One will not stay in Nanjing all the time, and Xiangjun will not guard Huguang for a long time. When the Holy One recruits Huguang soldiers to go on an expedition for the country, Xiangjun will be able to serve you again."
"Okay." Chongzhen said helplessly, "Just follow General Qin's request."
"Old minister, I thank you for your kindness." Qin Liangyu was overjoyed and wanted to kneel down to thank him again.
Chongzhen supported him again, shook his head and said, "Old General, please don't kneel down anymore from now on."
Qin Liangyu's intention was fulfilled and he left happily, leaving Chongzhen alone feeling lost. Leaving Li Xiangjun in Huguang, he had to live a bachelor's life again.
At this time, Gao Qi sneaked in and reported: "Long live my Lord, Rongmei Xuanfu Si Tianxuan asks to see you."
"No." Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Tell him for me that when more than 40,000 native soldiers from the Shinan Xuanfu Division bring the children to Changde Mansion, I will let them go. It is impossible to let them go now.
of."
"Long live my Lord, Tian Xuan is not here for this matter." Gao Qiqian said in a low voice, "but to propose marriage for the Holy One."
"What did you say?" Chongzhen almost suspected that he was hearing hallucinations in his ears, "Tian Xuan is coming to say goodbye to me?"
Gao Qiqian shrank his neck in fright and whispered: "That's what Tian Xuan said, but I don't know exactly what happened. If Long Live Master feels something is inappropriate, I will have someone drive him away."
"
"There's no need to rush him. What's the point of driving him away?" Chongzhen said with a smile, "Just let him in."
Gao Qiqian soon led Tian Xuan in, and as usual, he first paid homage to Chongzhen.
"Tian Xuan, I heard that you want to marry me on my behalf?" Chongzhen asked with a smile, "Whose girl is this?"
Tian Xuandao: "Replying to the Holy Spirit, this woman is none other than Shi Nan Xuan Fu, Ran Sanniang."
Ran Sanniang's graceful figure immediately appeared in Chongzhen's mind, and he asked with a smile: "Tian Xuan, is this your intention or Ran Sanniang's?"
Tian Xuandao: "It's Sanniang's own wish, the old minister is just a matchmaker."
"Haha, this is interesting." Chongzhen asked with a smile, "Why did Ran Sanniang want to enter the palace and become a concubine when she left the good Shi Nanxuan as a caretaker? Doesn't she feel that she is at a loss?"
Tian Xuan sighed and said: "Why should the Holy One deceive me? Sanniang, the Shi Nan Xuanfu envoy, and Lao Chen, the beautiful Xuanfu envoy, I'm afraid they won't be able to serve for a few more days, right?"
"Presumptuous!" Gao Qiqian shouted sharply, "Why are you talking to Lord Long Live?"
"Gao Banban, if you want to make people talk, the sky will not fall." Chongzhen was not angry this time. He just waved his hand and said to Tian Xuan, "Old General Tian, you are worrying too much. Now you are Rongmei Xuanfu."
The envoy will still be the Rongmei Xuanfu envoy in the future, and your eldest son and grandson will always be the Rongmei Xuanfu envoy."
Chongzhen's words were somewhat beyond Tian Xuan's expectations.
However, Tian Xuan was almost sixty years old and he quickly reacted.
Tian Xuan asked: "Is the Holy One planning to move us chieftains to Nanjing?"
"Old General Tian hit the mark." Chongzhen said with a smile, "After each chieftain returned to his hometown, all the chieftains and their families moved to Nanjing for resettlement. Their positions and salaries were all retained, and one son could be exempted from taking the exam and enter the Imperial College to study for further studies."
Tian Xuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, as long as you are sure to accept Ran Sanniang as your imperial concubine, we, the thirteen chieftains of Shi Nan, are willing to fully cooperate with the imperial court in reforming the country."
Chongzhen looked at Tian Xuan and did not answer in a hurry.
Tian Xuan or Ran Sanniang's thoughts are actually no different from Qin Liangyu's. They are both for their respective families.
Originally, if they could continue to be chieftains in the local area, they would definitely want to continue to be chieftains. Gold and silver are not as good as grass. How can they be as happy as a local emperor by moving to Nanjing to become a rich man?
But now, it is no longer realistic to want to stay in the local area and become a chieftain. From the treatment of Guangxi and Yunnan by the Holy Spirit, it can be seen that he is determined to change his country and return to his hometown, sooner or later.
So this matter will have to be faced sooner or later.
To rebel, to resist with force and to return to the country is to seek death.
They have already seen the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's new army.
Moreover, there are a total of 270,000 such new troops, and there will be more in the future!
Therefore, resistance is definitely a dead end, and the wisest thing to do is to strive for more benefits.
In particular, we must seek protection for our own family, otherwise we will be like fish on the chopping board after we arrive in Nanjing, to be slaughtered at will by others.
Therefore, Ran Sanniang had the idea of making her own pillow.
As long as Ran Sanniang becomes the imperial concubine, the Shi Nan Tan family, and the Ran family will become royal relatives, the noble gentry in Nanjing will not dare to touch them easily, and the other Shi Nan chieftain families will also be taken care of by the Tan family and the Ran family.
This is all a calculation of interests. Chongzhen would not be so naive as to think that he could easily conquer Ran Sanniang, a pretty widow and beautiful lady, just by relying on his male strength.
Okay, since it's a profit calculation, let's talk about business.
There is no problem with taking Ran Sanniang as a concubine, isn't it just that there are multiple women in the harem?
At that moment, Chongzhen asked with a smile: "Old General Tian, do your Tujia women have to have a dowry when they get married?"
"Of course there is a dowry." Tian Xuan said hurriedly, "This time Sanniang enters the palace, it is equivalent to the Qin family and the Ran family marrying off their daughters at the same time. Both families will have a large dowry, and the old ministers and other chieftains will also congratulate them.
instrument."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I am actually not greedy." Chongzhen seemed to have not heard and said to himself, "Although Shizhouwei said it was a bit remote, the land was actually a bit barren.
, But if the Qin family and the Ran family use their farmland as a dowry, and General Tian and other chieftains also use their farmland as a congratulatory gift, I won’t be dissatisfied at all.”
"Ah?" Tian Xuan looked at Chongzhen dumbfounded, feeling his head buzzing.
Do you want the Qin family and the Ran family to use their farmland as a dowry? Do you want other chieftains to use their farmland as a congratulatory gift?
Dog Emperor, please show some respect. There is no one like you. Aren't you just robbing me openly? Isn't that too little?
At that moment, Tian Xuan said with a dark face: "Your Majesty, although Shizhouwei is remote and barren, the farmland has been saved by our ancestors for generations, so can't we keep it?"
As long as these farms are kept, even if they move to Nanjing, they can still send people over to collect rent.
Without these farmlands, their families would have no income after moving to Nanjing, and they would inevitably be left with nothing.
"Old General Tian, there is no room for change in this matter." Chongzhen's expression suddenly turned cold, "Now our Ming Dynasty has reached the critical moment of life and death. All the nobles and nobles of the clan have donated Ming Dynasty's property and land. The Duke of Guizhou and the King of Jingjiang have also donated Ming Dynasty.
The farmland under each chieftain’s name has been donated, so I’m afraid the land under each chieftain’s name can no longer be retained.”
After a pause, he added: "However, as long as the various chieftains in Shi Nan can actively cooperate with the imperial court in reforming the land, the imperial court can consider giving certain compensation at its discretion, such as one tael of silver per mu."
Tian Xuan's face instantly turned black. One tael of silver per acre, isn't that still robbery?
"General Tian, it's better to go back and discuss with the other chieftains first. It won't be too late to reply to me after the discussion is completed. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry." Chongzhen smiled slightly and said, "In addition, I would like to kindly remind you that we are here.
There is no need to worry about living in vain in Nanjing. There are many profitable businesses in Nanjing. With the wealth accumulated by your ancestors for generations, even if you deposit money in a bank account and earn interest, your family will be able to live comfortably."
Good fellow, why do these words of the Holy Spirit sound like a threat?
It means that if you cooperate obediently, you can still keep your family wealth.
But if you don't cooperate, not only will your land be saved, but your accumulated wealth will also be lost.
At that moment, Tian Xuan said: "Your Majesty, please allow me to go back and discuss with Ran Sanniang and other chieftains before returning."
"Go." Chongzhen said with a smile, "I will definitely return to the camp before tomorrow evening. It won't be too late for you to come back then."
After sending Tian Xuan away, Chongzhen said to the outside of the tent: "Jiong'er, summon the Yiding to go to Baling with my father. Finally, we have some free time. We, father and son, will go visit Yueyang Tower and remember the ancients."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Cijiong said: "Father, forget it, I don't like visiting historical sites."
"You're not going?" Chongzhen said angrily, "Jiong'er, you can't eat hot tofu if you're anxious. You can't become a famous general by reading military books in the dark. You still have to relax when you should."
Among the treasures copied from the old village of Jigelong were many ancient books, including military books.
After Zhu Cijiong saw these military books, he immediately felt like he had found a treasure and plunged into it.
Now whenever he has nothing to do, Zhu Cijiong is reading the Military Book, and he simply can't put it down.
Obviously, Zhu Cijiong had been influenced by Chongzhen and had a strong interest in military affairs.
Interest is the best teacher. Because he was interested in military affairs, Zhu Cijiong developed an extremely strong desire to read all historical materials and military books related to military affairs.
Seeing this, Chongzhen suddenly lost his mood to pay homage to the ancient relics.
He also summoned Wang Fuzhi to discuss the matter of punishing the grain merchants.
Chongzhen did not want to simply kill him, as this was too low-level.
Chongzhen wanted to use high-end business techniques to teach all merchants in the Ming Dynasty a bloody lesson.
"Wang Fuzhi, find your clan brother," Chongzhen said, "and say that you will secretly partner with him to dominate the grain market and ask him to bring in other grain merchants to buy all the folk surplus grain in Huguang at a high price."
