The neat guard of honor showed the imposing manner of the Xuanjia Guards.
Xuanjiawei now plays many roles, including personal guard and honor guard. To a certain extent, it is equivalent to the responsibilities of Jinyiwei, but he is only responsible to Zhu Ying.
"Song Guogong, thank you for your hard work this time."
"Uncle Three Emperors, Uncle Four Emperors, Uncle Seven Emperors."
Although Zhu Ying was the grandson, he let go of his identity at this time and bowed to Zhu Di and the others.
Naturally, the three of them did not dare to express their gratitude. This was a moment of intimacy between the Tian family and they quickly returned the gift.
There were dense crowds of people watching. Naturally, the matter about the treaty had been published in the capital newspaper before Feng Sheng and others returned to the capital.
There were voices shouting "Long live the Ming Dynasty" everywhere.
When the country is prosperous, naturally the people will also be prosperous.
In the current capital city of the Ming Dynasty, the people have a high sense of happiness and have a very strong sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty.
Compared to Zhu Ying, Feng Sheng, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Shu and others who followed him all the way were even more shocked by the changes in the capital.
Before the expedition to Japan, many reforms on the capital side were started, and now they have been implemented.
"This is really the capital. If I hadn't seen this Zhengyang Avenue, I wouldn't have dared to recognize it. It's just... it's just..."
Zhu Shu looked at the changes in front of him with a shocked expression. Although he was walking on Zhengyang Avenue, he could clearly see the surrounding alleys.
Neat planning can be seen in every alley, with numerous shops and the signboards at the entrance looking almost the same. Each alley is nearly two feet wide, and the flow of people on the left and right seems to be walking according to a certain pattern.
"You are indeed worthy of being a great nephew. With this ability, the Ming Dynasty will definitely become more prosperous in the future."
Zhu Fan's eyes were glowing green. He had decided to take a closer look at the construction in the city after today and transfer the situation in the capital to the Japanese vassal territory.
Zhu Di's expression was a little complicated.
He noticed very keenly that the dense crowd of people watching seemed to be cheering for the Ming Dynasty's victory and the Japanese surrender. In fact, almost all the people's eyes were focused on Zhu Ying.
It is not difficult to guess that after going to the Japanese country, many changes must have taken place in the Ming Dynasty, which led to such a gathering of people's hearts.
During the welcoming ceremony, there was no need to kneel down, but Zhu Di saw many people spontaneously kowtow to Zhu Ying, and more and more people started to do so.
Zhu Di made up his mind, and the first thing he did next was to understand the specific development of the capital this year.
.....
Above the court hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat high on the dragon chair, and Zhu Ying stood beside him.
Liu He, the eunuch and eunuch in charge of the ceremony, Jin Luan, began to read aloud the rewards for Feng Sheng, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, and Zhu Zhu.
The rewards are naturally mainly given to Feng Sheng, and there is no need to be promoted to a higher position. Most of them are money and the like.
When it comes to the Three Kings, things are different.
"His Majesty decreed that Hizen Castle of the overseas Japanese country be granted the title of the vassal territory of King Zhu Hong of Jin and be renamed Jincheng. The King of Jin will be in charge of all affairs within the territory."
"His Majesty decreed that the overseas Japanese country built a back city and made it the vassal territory of King Zhu Di of Yan. It was renamed Yancheng and King Yan took charge of all affairs within the territory."
"His Majesty decreed that Feihou City, an overseas Japanese country, be granted the title of King Zhushu of Qi and be renamed Qicheng. The King of Qi will take charge of all affairs within the territory."
There are not many additional conditions, including the fact that you are basically responsible for taxes and do not need to pay taxes to Ming Dynasty.
Everything within the territory was basically the responsibility of the feudal king himself.
The only thing that was excluded was the legislative power. According to the regulations of overseas vassal states, the laws of the Ming Dynasty should be given priority by the vassal king.
In other words, the vassal king also had legislative power, but when the laws set by the vassal king conflicted with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the laws of the Ming Dynasty took precedence.
The rest is up to you to play by yourself. In the past, there was a strict limit on the number of soldiers under the lord's command, but this has been abolished now.
In the past, the standard was 30,000, but now you can have as much as you like, even if all the people in the domain are soldiers, that is also your own freedom.
It's equivalent to completely letting go.
This somewhat surprised the three kings. It was just a statement before, but now it is truly confirmed.
After this, the three vassal princes should be busy arranging their own civil servants to go to the capital.
In fact, for now, the three cities of Japan are not too small, and the area is not too big, and the population is large enough.
The three of them had already moved Japanese people from various places before this. Even the king of Qi, Zhu Shu, who had the smallest number of people, only ruled 300,000 Japanese people.
On this basis, there is also the issue of garrisoning troops.
Each vassal king can have 30,000 garrison troops, and other soldiers will return to their original garrison later.
Although this garrison is under the command of the feudal king, it will return to the Ming Dynasty for a rotation every three years, and it does not always belong to the feudal king.
In a historical sense, this was the first time that the overseas vassal state established by the Japanese state directly extended the vassal fiefdom outside the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
This also means that the path of Ming Dynasty will undergo certain changes in the future.
Zhu Ying also directly arranged the news of the establishment of overseas vassal states in the capital's residence newspaper the next day.
This can also be regarded as a wave of advertising for overseas vassals to attract traffic.
The preferential policies for migrating overseas have also caused waves among the people.
"The King of Jin will be responsible for the travel expenses to Jincheng. When he arrives, he will be given land, starting from five acres per person. This sounds like a good idea."
"What? It's better to go to Yancheng. The newspaper here said that anyone between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five who does not have a wife will be assigned a Japanese girl. This is great. There is no need for a matchmaker, and you can just go to Yancheng.
Give it away."
"The place in Qicheng is not bad either. Not only does each person have five acres of land, but they are also exempt from taxes for three years. How nice that is."
Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, and Zhu Zhu naturally offered a large number of preferential conditions at this time and began to summon people from the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone knows that people are the key.
This is especially true for scholars. Any scholar who has a good reputation, even if he is just a child, will receive distribution, land and a wife.
The generous conditions have indeed made many people excited.
The Palace of Prince Yan of the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Yihua was discussing the relocation issue with Zhu Di, but after thinking about it, Zhu Di said: "You can stay in the capital for now."
"The conditions in the Japanese country are not very good now, so there is no need to suffer along with it. It will not be too late to go over there once the business is better."
The situation of the Japanese country is not clear at present. Although the Japanese country has been defeated, the treaty is meant to be torn up.
If a war breaks out suddenly that day, it will be extremely dangerous.
Obviously Xu Yihua still wants to follow, but Zhu Di's attitude is also very clear, and he wants to wait until everyone there gets started.
But in fact, Zhu Di was not very interested in construction.
"Father, why don't you let me follow you?" Zhu Gaochi suddenly said at this time.
This surprised Zhu Di.
"Do you know that the current Japanese country is completely incomparable to the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Di said.
Zhu Gaochi replied: "Of course I understand, but the current Japanese war has just ended, and there will definitely be peace in a short period of time. It mainly depends on the management of internal affairs."
"My son is not talented. I have studied with teachers since I was young. Although there are some differences in internal affairs, I can still practice them slowly."
Hearing this, Zhu Di's original intention of scolding him was gradually withdrawn.
At this time, he suddenly discovered a problem. In Prince Yan's palace, when it came to learning, it seemed that the eldest son, whom he usually disliked, was the most outstanding.
Needless to say, the situation of the second and third children is basically the same as mine.
On the Japanese side, Zhu Di also discovered this problem. When he went to the city of Jin King Zhu Fan, he felt as shocked as what he saw in the capital.
And I want to do it, but I don’t know where to start.
In terms of military operations, he who led Goryeo, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Shu to attack the three Japanese cities was undoubtedly the most successful.
But what happens after this?
War is no longer the main theme, development is.
It is impossible to lead troops to plunder the Japanese country every day.
Well, thinking about it this way, it doesn’t seem impossible.
Japanese pirates could invade the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, why couldn't they do it themselves?
But for now, it still depends on internal affairs.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Di finally nodded and said: "Okay, you can come with me to the Japanese country this time."
That said, Zhu Di had actually made up his mind to hand over the management of the city to his son.
And he is mainly responsible for the training of the army.
Let the eldest son do the logistics for him.
....
The next day.
Zhu Ying summoned Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, and Zhu Fan to his Kunning Palace.
"Uncle Three Emperors, Uncle Four Emperors, Uncle Seven Emperors."
Zhu Ying raised her hands and bowed.
The three of them also hurriedly returned the greeting: "Greetings to His Highness the Grand Sun."
Zhu Ying was also straightforward and went straight to the point: "This time I invite the three imperial uncles to come over, mainly to discuss the situation of the three cities of Japan."
Hearing such an opening, the first person to frown was Zhu Di.
Doesn’t what I said yesterday count?
Have you gathered us together today to change what you said yesterday?
When Zhu Ying said this, he paused briefly and then continued: "At present, the three Japanese cities are extremely important to the Ming Dynasty. If the three cities are stable, the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty will no longer have to worry about Japanese pirates."
"So the three imperial uncles really shoulder heavy responsibilities."
"So after thinking about it last night, I thought that I could help the three emperors to develop rapidly within the scope of my ability."
After hearing this, the three of them immediately felt relieved.
After all, in a sense, it will be your own vassal country from now on, and you will have the final say in everything. It can be said to be an incomparable freedom.
Now Taisun wants to support him.
Zhu Ying continued; "First of all, there is the issue of food. In the maritime trade with the Japanese country, food is prohibited from being exported overseas. However, the development of the city cannot be separated from the people. The problem of food and clothing must be solved in the first place. Quickly regain the hearts and minds of Japanese people in Japan."
"In terms of sea trade, a certain amount of food will be transported to the cities of the three emperor uncles every quarter depending on the situation."
"But let's talk first. Naturally, these grains cannot be given as gifts, but sold at equal prices in Ming Dynasty."
"Of course, if you don't have enough money, you emperor uncles can also buy grain first and return it next quarter."
This proposal was immediately approved by the three people, and Zhu Shu said happily: "I think Taisun's plan will work."
Even Zhu Di was very satisfied. The rice production of Japan was probably not enough, especially if he wanted to expand his army.
Now that I have Daming’s support, I feel much more at ease.
Zhu Ying did not include Hu, and continued to talk about some support for overseas vassals.
Such as trade.
The Qunying Chamber of Commerce will establish a stable maritime trade route, deliver goods to the three cities on a regular basis, and ensure that in addition to the corresponding freight charges, the price purchased by the feudal king will not be higher than the market conditions of the Ming Dynasty.
But there will definitely be certain restrictions on the quantity of goods.
The second is support for craftsmen.
There are now many craftsmen groups in the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, mainly in the form of commercial firms, which can build cement roads for the three cities, including some important buildings.
Including obtaining the consent of the three imperial uncles, opening various factories in the three cities of Japan, and hiring workers at corresponding prices to open the factories.
While Zhu Ying was telling the story, he asked the eunuch Guo Zhong, the eunuch Guo Zhong and the eunuch Bingbi, to take out the relevant documents that had been prepared for the three vassal kings to check in detail.
The various situations recorded above, including what Zhu Ying said before, are all above, extremely detailed and clear.
Its overall purpose is very simple, that is, the Ming Dynasty will give the three vassal kings the greatest support and develop the three cities at a high speed.
After Zhu Di read it, he felt a little emotional.
Is Taisun really so kind? Isn't he afraid that the vassal state will develop and pose a danger to the Ming Dynasty's rule?
But no matter what, almost every item on the catalog is what they need most at the moment.
"The emperor's nephew knows in his heart that the emperor's uncles may have some other ideas."
"It's just that the emperor's nephew wants to tell you that the emperor's uncles are currently doing important things that involve the Ming Dynasty's foundation for thousands of years."
"There should not be any hostility between the imperial uncles' vassal states and the Ming Dynasty. They should help each other."
"Not only now, but also in the distant future, not only for the emperor's nephew, but also for the descendants of the old Zhu family in the future."
The tone of these words was not serious, but there was a feeling of blood boiling.
At this time, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Ying with piercing eyes.
In him, he did not see the shadow of his father, but he saw the past of his mother.
When the queen mother was still alive, she hoped that the descendants of Lao Zhu's family could be more united.
It was not until near dusk, nearly two hours, that the three vassal princes left Kunning Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang also came out from behind, patted Da Sun on the shoulder and said: "Okay, okay, okay."
