Although Lan Yu, Cao Zhen and others agreed verbally, they disagreed in their hearts.
To put it bluntly, this is how the brothers get rich.
The brothers down there are counting on this wave of plunder to get rich. How can they get rich with their usual military pay?
Zhu Ying had naturally figured out these situations long ago.
The only way to prevent this situation from happening is to improve the treatment of soldiers.
"My purpose is not to cut off the people below's access to money, but to be more fair to the entire army."
"The current situation is actually a bad situation for both the soldiers and the people."
"For example, some soldiers fought bravely, and some soldiers were afraid to move forward. But after the war, the soldiers who were afraid to move forward made more money."
"Do you think this is fair to the soldiers who fought bravely?"
"Besides, this world belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and these people are the people of the Ming Dynasty. The money looted by the soldiers is the money of the Ming Dynasty."
"What's the point of robbing one's own family?"
"Or maybe he was massacred like my benefactor. Are there no men in the village who have served as soldiers?"
"Soldiers from the south plunder the parents and brothers of soldiers from the north. Soldiers from the north plunder the parents and brothers from the south. Tell me, this is what you want!"
"It's different now than before. Whether it's the south or the north, it all belongs to the big world. Are you still stubborn?"
When Zhu Ying finished talking, he shouted harshly...
After hearing this, many generals began to waver in their hearts.
Starting from Lan Yu, everyone has been deep in thought.
Undoubtedly, His Highness Changsun's words are very reasonable. Those who are snatching away like this are still their own parents and brothers.
"But Your Highness, if this is the case, I'm afraid that the brothers below will have a lot of opinions."
After hesitating, Cao Zhen looked around and said.
Only he can say this.
In the discussion of merit and ranking, Cao Zhen was ranked behind Lan Yu. Lan Yu was obviously not suitable to say this, so it was a last resort to avoid stalemate in the relationship with His Highness Changsun.
Hearing this, Zhu Ying did not mean to blame, and explained: "I will explain this situation to my grandfather. In the original idea, a military merit hierarchy will be established."
"Don't you envy the salary of Xiaoling and the personal guards? The military merit hierarchy will grading the military pay according to the length of enlistment and military merit of the soldiers."
"Of course the veterans' military pay and the new recruits' military pay cannot be at the same level, especially for some soldiers who have been fighting for half their lives."
Strategizing military pay was a move that Zhu Ying had long thought of.
The ultimate goal is to turn the soldiers' thoughts toward the justice of their family and country.
The biggest reason why Zhu Ying has such confidence comes from the emergence of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other crops.
You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, there are only more than 60 million people registered in the household registration, and the full calculation is about 100 million.
Sweet potatoes and other crops can completely solve the problem of feeding most people in such a large territory.
This is why Zhu Ying dared to reform.
The problem of food and clothing must be solved first before many reforms can keep up, otherwise everything will be empty talk.
No one goes hungry to support.
After hearing this, many generals felt relieved.
Many veterans are counting on this way to get money, and they are really desperate. Although it won't lead to mutiny, the problems involved are huge.
After this matter set the tone, Lan Yu and others also roughly understood Zhu Ying's future direction of governance.
In fact, this is very important to Zhu Ying.
The Huaixi military general group undoubtedly supports him, so his ideas must be implemented.
If your own relatives and forces cannot implement it, then the reform is nonsense.
It will further affect Zhu Ying's power control after taking office.
After we finished talking about the business, we just drank glasses and relaxed the atmosphere.
When the plague spread to the capital, many people were unfamiliar with King Yu, including Zhu Yunwen.
"Mom, for saving so many people this time, I'm afraid I will be greatly appreciated by the Emperor."
In the back hall of Chunhe Palace, Zhu Yunwen's tone was full of sourness.
Even though he felt that his position as grandson could not be saved, when he came back from his dream at midnight, he still wanted to struggle for a while.
In fact, when Zhu Ying went to the plague area, Zhu Yunwen was always looking forward to the news that his eldest brother was infected with the plague and died.
It's a pity that Zhu Yunwen now doesn't know Murphy's Law.
The more you want something, the less likely you are to have it.
Zhu Yunwen knew very well that after this incident, his eldest brother's reputation was completely broadened outside the palace.
Maybe many people don't know the relationship between Prince Yu and Grandpa Huang, and may even mistake him for a certain prince, but this does not affect the eldest brother's huge reputation when his identity is exposed.
Valley
Zhu Yunwen seemed to have seen it, and he didn't know how many literati would sing songs about this matter.
"That's fine. You don't need to count on anything. Your eldest brother's abilities currently seem to far exceed yours."
"Have you read the methods to prevent the plague?"
When Mrs. Lu saw her son acting like this, she didn't encourage him, but rather belittled him.
The next sentence turns to Yunwen's thoughts on the means of dealing with the plague.
Zhu Yunwen immediately lowered his head and said, "I haven't had time to see the child yet."
Lu said: "If you don't look, how can you know what your eldest brother is and how big the difference is between you and your eldest brother?"
"As far as these methods of preventing the plague are concerned, in my opinion, if we were to govern the world alone, let alone you, even Your Majesty, I'm afraid they would all fall short."
"It's really hard to imagine what your eldest brother has been through in these years and how he could be so wise. Could it be that he survived a catastrophe and was favored by God?"
Speaking of the latter, Lu had already told herself.
Zhu Yunwen never expected that his own mother would actually increase the prestige of others. She was still her own mother.
An idea flashed in my mind.
Is it because my eldest brother looks so much like my father that my mother loves her so much?
Zhu Yunwen knows his mother's love for his father best.
Even now, my mother seems to be normal in front of others, but in fact, she secretly cries countless times at night.
Even several times in the early morning, Zhu Yunwen woke up in the middle of the night and found that his mother had gone to Renzhi Palace to visit his father.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that this is true.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunwen felt lonely. Even his own mother was looking towards his eldest brother. What else could he do?
Lu was keenly aware of Zhu Yunwen's thoughts.
Of course it's not speculation about myself.
But she didn't open her mouth to comfort him.
In Lu's view, Zhu Xiongying is good and good, at least there will be no brother-in-law-fighting situation.
It also stopped his son's thoughts about his great-grandson's position.
It's not bad to be a vassal king in peace and stability.
Seeing that his son was silent, he seemed a little sulky.
Lu once again educated him: "Let's take a closer look at your elder brother's method of controlling the plague later, and then compare it with yourself. What will happen if you face this matter?"
"Only in this way will you understand the difference. My mother has always told you not to study those Confucian ways all day long."
"To put it bluntly, if you are far more outstanding than your elder brother, no matter how much His Majesty likes you, you may not have no chance."
"But in this situation, don't keep any delusions and just accept your identity as your younger brother. After all, he is also your father's eldest son and your eldest brother."
"My mother cannot interfere with the court, nor can I interfere too much. You are only so old now, and you will still have a long time to come."
"If you can't let go of the grudge in your heart, then don't have any ambitions."
"Governing a country is governance, but governing a local area is not governance."
As Zhu Yunwen listened, the tangle in his heart seemed to be slowly opening up.
Although he was somewhat reluctant and unwilling to give in, he also understood that this had to be the case.
"Yunwen, you have to know one thing. You have more than twenty uncles, but you only have so many brothers."
"Emperor and courtier, now that your father is gone, you and Yunxi are your eldest brother's closest brothers."
When Lu said this, he stopped talking. In some periods, it is enough to stop at this point.
If Yun Wen can't even understand this, then there is no need to say more.
After Zhu Yunwen finished listening, his eyes lit up, and he remembered something in his mind, and said:
"Mom, I heard rumors earlier that the emperor's original arrangement for ten imperial uncles to become vassals next year seems to have changed a bit."
"It seems that some rules have been set. You must achieve them before you can become a vassal. Otherwise, you will have to stay in the capital."
Zhu Yunwen said with some uncertainty.
Before that, he had never thought about the issue of vassalage, and even now he doesn't pay much attention to it.
Hearing is also due to practicing together.
Mrs. Lu nodded when she heard this.
The problem of the vassal king is well known to everyone. It is not surprising to Lu that Zhu Xiongying is now handling the matter.
"It's almost over in Henan Plague now. It's estimated that your eldest brother will be back in the near future. You can't be careless about training, and you have to participate attentively. My mother has also heard that this is a new training method."
"You must learn clearly."
"Have more contact with your elder brother. No matter what, His Majesty's rules will not change drastically. There will always be a fiefdom for you."
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he could only nod helplessly.
