"In late spring, the grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River, the peanut trees and the orioles fly around."

In March, when the warblers and grass grow, it is also a great time for outings.

This is the first time Zhu Yunwen has left Nanjing City in four years since he came to this time and space. If it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of murderous swords and iron horses around him that ruined the scenery, Zhu Yunwen would have been able to take a good look at the land of the ancient Jing Nine Counties.

The army left Luzhou all the way, headed west along the river to Huguang. It took more than 20 days to pass Jingzhou and reach Kuizhou, which was considered to have entered the boundary of Sichuan.

It took a trip of 2,000 miles in more than 20 days, and this trip was definitely not a pleasant one for Zhu Yunwen.

Many blisters were already ground into the inner side of his thighs. After being picked up, Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth and endured it in order not to delay the marching.

The comfortable life has been too long. This is the first time that Zhu Yunwen has experienced the hardships of traveling through mountains and rivers. He is inevitably even more impressed by the soldiers who relied on a pair of flesh-footed long journeys.

It’s so hard to ride a horse for two thousand miles, but walking twenty thousand miles? What a tenacious willpower this requires.

Geng Bingwen found Zhu Yunwen more than once and proposed to stop the march, but he was rejected by Zhu Yunwen. As for the proposal to change to a carriage, it was even worse.

After all, it was the imperial commander who was personally marching and riding a carriage? It would be better to call a parade.

No matter what, Zhu Yunwen is also a man, so he can't afford to lose face.

"When you arrive in Kuizhou, your Majesty will move to Kuizhou City for a short stay for two days."

When he was setting up a camp in the evening, he saw Zhu Yunwen grinning in the coach's tent and applying medicine, Geng Bingwen advised him.

The emperor was young and had never experienced the battle formation when he was young. Where could the fine skin and tender flesh bear such a pain in the army?

"no."

Zhu Yunwen refused without thinking, but he felt a little bit of force in his hand, and he took a deep breath again: "The marching plan cannot be changed. I will arrive in Chengdu early, and I will be in trouble when I arrive in Chengdu."

Geng Bingwen's old man in his seventies was still very stubborn every day. In this tone, Zhu Yunwen said that he would fight for anything, and he could not embarrass Emperor Taizu.

Geng Bingwen sighed, but he also admired him. He bowed his hand and stopped persuading him. He turned his head and walked out of the handsome tent, and just happened to be hit by the double joy of preparing medicine.

"Oh, the old general."

As soon as he saw Geng Bingwen, Shuangxi almost cried and pulled Geng Bingwen to complain: "How can the army be so rushing? Is military intelligence important or His Majesty's dragon body important? When I changed the medicine for the emperor two days ago, blood was bleed from the hair."

Shuangxi jumped in a hurry while he was still in a hurry, and Geng Bingwen had no choice.

"I can't persuade you, either. Your Majesty insists on arriving in Chengdu on Ding Day. You must not violate the order."

After saying that, Geng Bingwen sighed and turned his head to leave. He also had to arrange the matter of night ban, so he had no time to do it here.

Shuangxi had no choice but to lift the curtain and walk into the handsome tent, hurriedly walked to Zhu Yunwen, looking at the scrapes and crying pitifully.

"Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"

Zhu Yunwen was calm and changed his clothes, but he didn't raise his head when he heard the movement: "If you have something to say something, just cry, I'm not dead."

The emperor cannot be injured? The emperor cannot be bleeding?

As for those who are so fussy?

“Eh?”

After changing the medicine in a hurry, Zhu Yunwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Shuangxi, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Why are you okay with that?"

No, everyone is riding horses. It is understandable that Geng Xuan has nothing to do. He grew up in the military camp since he was a child. These pairs of people who liked to enter the palace after a young age can also be considered to have grown up from eating lucky food. Why did they come down from more than 2,000 miles? There is no problem at all?

"How can I compare with Your Majesty?"

Shuangxi scratched his head: "Your Majesty's body of thousands of gold should be riding on the imperial chariot."

“Nonsense.”

With a smile, Zhu Yunwen tied his clothes and walked aside to wash his hands.

"Have you sent the Guizhou memorial book? I asked Chen Heng to change his territory and return to the current situation. What are the results?"

Zhu Yunwen was a master who couldn't rest. In the past, he was in Nanjing, and he had to review dozens or hundreds of memorials every day. Now he was leading the army to fight, and wherever he was idle, it happened that Huguang was close to Guizhou. When he remembered the matter of the chieftain, he simply sent someone to Guizhou and asked for all memorials about the chieftain.

Guizhou and Guangxi have always been uneasy. The chieftain forces in these two places are deeply rooted and have not been completely settled for so many years. In fact, after all, local officials are lazy and lazy in their governance.

Taizu once sent Chu King Zhu Zhen and Yang Wen to conquer Guizhou and Guangxi chieftains. At that time, they were too lazy to use policies to differentiate, so they directly moved. The reason why chieftains were powerful was that they had people under their command and had a strong clan consciousness. It was a big deal for moving the population out and putting them in the Central Plains.

As a result, the execution was relatively smooth at the beginning. When the army turned around, the local government did not dare to use such tough measures, which led to the revival of the chieftain tribe. Thousands of people, including large or small, dared to fight against the government and refused to pay taxes.

When he heard Zhu Yunwen's inquiry, Shuangxi went to the side and picked out two memorials in a major case.

"I sent it yesterday. I saw that Your Majesty had entered the bedroom and did not dare to disturb him."

"I have said so many times, but if there is a state affairs, it must be handled on the same day and not neglected. If I don't ask, wouldn't I delay it again? Tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows will be."

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly looked at it with a criticism.

Two memorials, one is from Guizhou General Chen Heng, and the other is from Guizhou Dusi Tangcheng.

"These two wastes!"

It would be fine if I didn't look at it, but after seeing it, I almost pissed Zhu Yunwen to death.

The purpose of Zhu Yunwen sending Chen Heng is to assist Tang Cheng, implement Taizu's policies, and use both soft and hard skills, and inform the chieftains of Guizhou that those who are willing to move will be given tax-free land for three years, and those who are unwilling to move will not be able to. According to the Ming Dynasty's laws, you can pay the full grain tax from the 30th year of Hongwu to this year.

At the same time, Zhu Yunwen asked the cabinet to approve the silver and recruit strong men from the chieftain tribes according to the high salary to join the army, so as to realize the strategy of using soil to control the land.

What did these two memorials write?

Chen Heng impeached the Governor Tang Cheng and the poor local people who were willing to join the army and moved out could not get enough relief grain on the road, which led to the rebellion of local officials in the three places, and even attacked a military household, causing six deaths and seventeen injuries!

Tang Cheng's memorial was completely a good news and not a bad news. He said that everything was very good and that in a few years, the results should be seen.

Should the results be visible?

"What a high emperor!"

Zhu Yunwen slapped the imperial desk and even ignored the pain in his thighs. He was so angry that he paced back and forth in his tent.

"Four years! I have given them four years. One general officer, even a chieftain tribe, and even a chieftain tribe, and someone attacked the military guards. The other Dusi Tongzhi is still dragging me down. I have asked the cabinet to approve the silver of 500,000 taels a year! Whose fucking pocket has he entered?"

No matter how strong the clan consciousness in Guizhou is, it is the Ming Dynasty that was not the society three thousand years ago.

Are there any poor households within the chieftain? Are there any people with hardships?

There are! And a lot!

The chieftain system itself is extremely backward, and it pursues a clan rule system that has been left over for thousands of years. Local officials ruled the tribe and occupied a large number of resources, and those natives may not necessarily accept the rule.

Why does the cabinet approve money?

The purpose is to recruit this group of native people, to achieve the importance of being the most valuable, and to achieve equal land tax payment.

The result was good. In more than four years, Guizhou Dusi has not achieved any results.

Where is the money allocated by the cabinet?

Zhu Yunwen didn't have to guess that the sky was high and the emperor was far away. They thought that as long as the emperor didn't leave Nanjing City, they would be able to remember Guizhou in which year or month?

After all, the tax revenue of Guizhou is not even as good as that of Suzhou Prefecture!

"It's all a group of pigs, I'm in vain for the sake of the holy grace!"

Zhu Yunwen shouted angrily: "Print an order."

In the tent, Yang Pu picked up the brush.

"Tang Cheng, the chief minister of the Guizhou Dusi, slacked off his official duties, so that during the four years, the Guizhou chieftain made endless rebellions and was sentenced to death! He was appointed as the assistant minister Yu Rang."

"Chen Heng, the general of Guizhou, slacked off military affairs, causing local officials to rebel, kill and injure military households, and were sentenced to death! Wu De was transferred to the thousand-house garrison office of Longchang, and served as the thousands of households."

After a pause, Zhu Yunwen turned to look at Shuangxi again: "You send someone back to Nanjing, and I will let Jing Qing go to Guizhou and check it out for me. In the past four years, I have approved two million taels of silver!"

Shuangxi nodded quickly and agreed.

"His Majesty, calm down, and you'll have to marches tomorrow."

As soon as he mentioned the march, Zhu Yunwen felt his thighs burning and his heart was even more angry. He shook his head and walked towards the camp bed, cursing.

"The cabinet is also a group of bastards. There has been no progress in four years, so don't you know how to send someone to investigate?"

Guizhou and Guangxi have been a land of fire since the reign of Taizu.

The taxes are extremely low and complex. No one in Nanjing wants to trek into this muddy water. He is prone to trampling on the mine if he is not careful. Instead of taking risks and being thankless, it is better to leave the stock without paying attention.

If it weren't for leaving Nanjing this time and suddenly thinking about this, Zhu Yunwen might have thought that Guizhou had been settled in the past four years!

My legs hurt so much.
