Chapter 163 King Qi: Is the emperor a time traveler?
At the gate of the capital, Zhu Gaojie, who had just returned to the capital, looked confused.
A group of imperial officials in scarlet robes filed out, surrounded Zhu Gaojie, and congratulated him. Their groveling posture was truly embarrassing.
It is said that the officials in green robes were squeezed out of the crowd and were not even qualified to kneel and lick. They could only bow their hands and salute outside, trying to look familiar.
Those who wear scarlet robes are all officials with first to fourth grades. They have been promoted to three levels in a row. If you pick any one who is sent to other provinces, he will be a top official in the border area. But in front of Zhu Gaojie, he is nothing more than a licking dog.
the difference.
"My lord, congratulations. I am here to congratulate you first."
The Minister of Rites' face was full of spring breeze, as if the person who made the great achievements was not King Qi, but himself. He cupped his hands and said, "Opening up the territory and expanding the territory, converting barbarians into Han Dynasty, this is an immortal achievement, and should be praised by future generations. Turning the slave Gandu Si into a
Jianzhou Province, this is a role model for our generation. He has won consecutive battles and planned strategies. Your Majesty is truly a god!"
Not to be outdone, Li Xuan, the censor of Youdu, came up with a set of rainbow farts: "Who is Prince Qi? He has been banished to immortals in the sky and turned into dragons when he came down to earth. The chaos in Jianzhou can be put down by the gentle wind and calm clouds. He leads it personally."
The soldiers and horses defeated the enemy Hercynian Allied Forces, how high-spirited they are. A man should carry a three-foot sword and achieve unparalleled achievements. Looking at the ages, the only one who can defeat my king in terms of prowess and martial arts is your majesty!"
"It is said that the king of Han was brave and brave, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. Prince Qi conquered the south and the north and was invincible. Looking at the civil and military affairs, he is considered to be the best in the world!"
"Your Majesty is really the auspicious unicorn of the Ming Dynasty. The tiger roars in the mountains and forests, making all races crawl and tremble. With the wind of a general, wearing armor and going into battle, he can defeat a million troops!"
"Prince Qi is a role model for our generation. My admiration for him is like the surging water of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. I have a pure heart and am willing to dedicate myself to the prince!"
With his head lowered, Zhu Gaojie felt that his eyes were surrounded by shadows, and he heard the rich and calm voice of a mature man: "Get up, you don't have to salute in front of me from now on."
What's going on, the emperor just took Prince Qi away?
I have only heard that the emperor came out of the city to greet the emperor after he returned from the expedition. I have never heard of the emperor coming out of the city to greet the prince after his victory. Who is the father and who is the son? Doesn’t the emperor have no face?
This is against etiquette!
Zhu Gaojie was surrounded by the crowd, his head was buzzing, and he was surrounded by flattering remarks, which almost praised him to the heavens!
Damn it, there are time travelers here?!
"There is no chance, not even ten years. There are so many affairs in the government, ten years is not enough. There is no time to go to the imperial chariot and conquer in person." Zhu Di shook his head.
Zhu Gaojie is not Master Tang, and he does not have the habit of kneeling down to beg for food.
However, His Majesty Yongle never plays by the rules. He rebels and he is awesome. He does whatever he wants. The ministers did not dare to say anything. They just knelt down and kowtowed and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"
"Okay, long live my emperor, whatever you say will happen." Zhu Gaojie stood up and followed the old man.
etc……
Zhu Gaojie said: "It's not too late now. Your Majesty, you are in great health, you eat deliciously, and you are braver than Lu Bu. The days are still long, and there will always be a chance."
Zhu Gaojie was stunned when he heard this. How did the old man know that he would die in less than ten years?
Zhu Di smiled and said, "It's your credit, I won't take it away from you. No matter how good your boy is, he is still the son born to me and Miao Yun. I don't even bother to take away my son's reputation!"
Establishing a state is not enough. He wants all the land illuminated by the sun and moon to be Han territory!
How can one life's prestige satisfy His Majesty Yongle's appetite? What he wants is eternal fame!
Zhu Gaojie said sternly, "But it shouldn't take long. We have established a system in Jianzhou. From a financial point of view, although not much was captured during this expedition, we are mining and developing agriculture in Jianzhou. After the autumn harvest, we will
There will be tax revenue from a province! The black soil in Jianzhou is fertile, suitable for planting, rich in minerals, and the territory is vast. Although it is still in the development period, the tax revenue is no less than that of South Zhili!"
Zhu Gaojie touched his head and knelt down innocently.
Zhu Di's soft voice made Zhu Gaojie doubt whether the emperor in front of him was fake.
Zhu Di was slightly startled: "At my age, don't make me laugh. How can I have so many?"
Zhu Gaojie's scalp was numb. It was not a good thing to be praised by the emperor like this. He might be praised and killed in the next second. He quickly said: "I rely on the support of my father. If my father does not give me such kindness, how can I become a slave?"
The capital is Jianzhou Province, and there is no doubt that my father will be the same emperor for eternity, but his sons and ministers will not be able to impress him!"
"You have finished speaking your words, what should I say?"
"There is no rush to fight against Korea and Japan. The imperial court has invested a lot in Jianzhou Province this time. Just the consumption of food and grass and the manpower invested in construction will take a while to recover."
"Don't change the subject, let me ask you, now that you have finished fighting Jianzhou, when do you plan to fight North Korea and Japan?" Zhu Di asked.
Unlike the outer city, the imperial city did not have much traffic. The eunuchs and maids had already been dispersed by the Shangzhi army, and only the father and son were left walking.
Why is His Majesty the Emperor here?
Zhu Gaojie smiled: "Father is mighty!"
Damn it, the old man is looking for trouble. I won the battle and kowtow first without saying anything. Why don't you just wait in the Jinluan Hall? It's so windy outside.
Zhu Di was an ambitious emperor. His vision was never limited to the present, but looked to the future.
"Seeing that summer is coming, I still feel chilly, so I have to wear cotton-padded clothes."
What's going on?
"Your Majesty is here!"
Just kidding, who would want to kneel down when they can make money standing up?
Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded loudly in front of the city gate, and everyone present trembled. They didn't say anything, but were confused.
The father and son left in front of the city gate in a swagger, leaving only a few hundred officials from the capital who were still kneeling, looking confused. Without the emperor's order, they could only kneel down.
"Little bitch, don't act stupid here with me, who are you trying to fool?"
Gan!
…
"The weather is nice today, please accompany me for a walk in the Imperial City."
Your guess was so accurate, why didn't you guess that your eldest son died after only ten months in office?
When you go back home, at least leave a message to help so many of us get safe. There are so many lumps of dirt on the ground and it’s so annoying!
You don’t play like this!
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I don't understand very well?" Zhu Gaojie was suspicious in his heart, but still pretended to be naive on the surface.
The corners of Zhu Di's lips raised slightly: "Boy, you are better than me. I just established a vassal state when I was twenty years old, but in your twenties, you have already expanded your territory, transformed barbarians into Han Dynasties, and made unparalleled achievements."
What shocked him even more was that many of the people who praised him were from the East Palace.
"Hey, okay, I listen to you." Zhu Gaojie was not polite and agreed on the spot.
"Have you finished speaking? It's my turn!"
Zhu Gaojie thought, isn't it? You are almost sixty, and you still think about going into battle to kill the enemy in person every day. Whose emperor is as lively as you?
Zhu Di put his hands in his arms and said with some emotion, "When I was young, I marched on ice and snow for three days and three nights in the Mobei wilderness, and the frost on my eyebrows was caked together. At that time, I never felt that
cold."
Spring is warm and flowers are blooming. Ivy flourishes everywhere between the high-walled palaces in the deep palaces of the imperial city, dotted with hazy green shades. The shy flower buds bloom before summer comes. Spring brings new life to Jinling City. His Majesty the Emperor was not wearing a dragon robe, but a white cotton coat, walking on the quiet and comfortable city road covered with moss, followed closely by Zhu Gaojie.
Zhu Gaojie suddenly realized that something was wrong. Judging from the current development of the situation and the old man's behavior, Zhu Di probably not only guessed that he would have less than ten years to live, but also guessed that the boss would die soon!
"I can see clearly what you did in Jianzhou Province this time. If you had been born ten years earlier, I wouldn't have been so entangled in establishing the crown prince. What happened to the boss and the second child?" Zhu Di sighed, "If you had been born ten years earlier,
Years later, my father and I can still fight side by side on the battlefield, how happy it will be if you act as my guard and I will show you the back."
Zhu Gaojie completely used Jianzhou as a test product this time to test whether his system would work as expected after Jianzhou was implemented. If the effect was good, he would then implement the same strategy against North Korea and Japan.
Is this still my dad? When did my dad speak so softly? Didn’t he always roar at the top of his lungs? That was even more deafening than a lion’s roar.
Southern Zhili is the place with the highest taxation in the Ming Dynasty. One year's taxation can account for 20% of the total taxation in the Ming Dynasty, which is crucial to the fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty!
Can the bitter cold land of Jianzhou Province compare to that of Southern Zhili?
"Jianzhou seems to be a bitter cold, but in fact it is because it has not been fully developed. With our current development method, the value that Jianzhou can create is no less than that of any province in the Ming Dynasty. Today, our taxes in Jianzhou are the same as those in other provinces.
The taxation is different. We have invested all the Jurchen indigenous people in Jianzhou into development and construction. It is said to be taxation, but in fact it is not calculated based on commission. All land and development projects are all government-owned, and the income belongs to
State-owned.”
Zhu Gaojie said seriously, "This is because the native population of Jianzhou is sparse. When the system is stable, the population of Jianzhou will increase significantly, and the rewards we get in Jianzhou will also increase significantly. We will not support the ministers in fighting a war.
It's because we can't make ends meet, and the rewards we get are far less than what we invest. If we can't survive, we just grab one round and then withdraw our troops. But our system in Jianzhou is different. After the war, we consolidate the land in Jianzhou, and there is a steady stream of troops.
To obtain benefits. In addition to the apparent fiscal revenue, after consolidating Jianzhou, our Ming Dynasty will no longer need to use troops against Jianzhou in the future. This will not be our defense zone in the future, but a firm military defense line! As long as
After seeing the benefits, will the ministers still oppose the war? They want us to attack everything we can see!"
