The heads lead the way, and the palace behind Kuanzheng.

Zhu Yunwen's two consecutive decrees were exchanged for the people's hearts and also reduced the resistance of powerful landlords and powerful locals. Thousands of greedy heads seemed unworthy of mention in the face of the vast general trend.

"Whoever smashes the people's jobs, His Majesty will want his head"

The article published in this title can be seen from the hands of Xu Buji, the flatterer.

The article combines the causes and consequences. First, he took the Du family, the already dismal villain, as a typical example, and whipped the corpse. The tax and fire consumption policies in the later article naturally praised Zhu Yunwen, highlighting the contradictions and gaps between the corruption and incompetence of local officials and Emperor Jianwen loves the people as much as his son.

At the end of the article, Xu Buji said this "heartfelt" remark.

"Since the Central Government issued an abolition of tax-free land, local people chose to affiliate land and possess the land and the names of famous scholars, bureaucrats and clerks to avoid taxes, which directly led to illegal acts like the Du family who took advantage of the loopholes in the Ming Dynasty and took the opportunity to oppress the people. His Majesty the Emperor was very sad when he learned about it.

Your Majesty has been unable to think about food and food for a month and has been unable to sleep all night. He is worried about the anxiety of the people at this time, and is also sad because the people do not understand the law and avoid taxes and deceive the court. It is said, "I regard the people as blood relatives, why do the people regard the court as enemies?"

Your Majesty has a wise eye, and he can see that what the people do this is because they are deceived by illegal people, so that they can cause disasters now. Your Majesty loves the people as much as his son. Even if the people have illegal acts, he will not bear to punish them. As long as he is responsible for the crime, he will be responsible for those illegal people.

He also thought about whether the people were investing in land. Is this behavior because the court imposed too much taxes, so he lowered the new policy of mercy and reduced the tax on land. He thought about it, so he could fill his stomach and avoid the suffering of cold and hunger."

Jinxiu Wenwen, who had thousands of words, made a move. Nanzhili, Jiangxi and Zhejiang, three provinces with the most victims, were suddenly filled with crying.

This scene really corresponds to Yang Shiqi's guess of Wanjia Shengshen. Every household invited the tablet of immortality of Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen, to worship it on the main hall, and sacrificed it day and night.

Xu Buji is the spiritual leader of the world's flattery party. As soon as he made a statement, the local associations started to clamor, which then caused a large-scale campaign to flatter the emperor, such as the umbrella of the people and the books of the people, etc., constantly emerging.

If it weren't for the local prefectures and counties, I'm afraid that the grassroots people who had long been deeply rooted in the infinite respect of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, would have set up a second campaign to go to Beijing.

"This flatterer, he has made another contribution."

He threw the newspaper aside casually. Zhu Yunwen didn't have the energy to care about these beautiful articles that were praised by the outside world. Now the registration work for population and land acres has to start over, and he has to be busy with his work.

"The old rules, Sichuan, Yunnan, Jiaozhi, Guangdong and Guangxi, Guizhou and Taiwan are not among the numbers this time."

There are a large majority of local residents in these places, such as Jiaozhi and Taiwan, which account for 70% to 80%. There is no need to investigate these places, and they are not a major province in taxation. Even if they are more than tens of thousands of hectares of land and hundreds of thousands of ding dynasties, what kind of visible annual income can be brought to the current Ming Dynasty? Therefore, there is no need to destroy the current stable and good situation for such places.

The cabinet members were all in one small notebook and focused on writing, which also made the hall of Jinshi without any noise, except Zhu Yunwen sitting on the upper head and chatting endlessly.

As he was talking, a small eunuch came in outside the hall and knelt at the threshold: "Your Majesty, the Tongzheng Secretary Zuo Tongzheng Hu Sizong met with him."

"Oh, our Ming Dynasty butler is here?"

Zhu Yunwen drank water to moisten his hair and dry throat: "Call in."

The little eunuch took the order and soon Hu Sizong's figure appeared in Zhu Yunwen's sight.

"See Your Majesty's Holy Bow Jin'an."

When Hu Sizong came in, he was holding a memorial book in his hand. When he saw him, he raised it over his head: "The Three Zangsang led the Shang Shi, the Mahayana Dharma King, and the national teacher of the Chisheng Buddha Treasure, and his party entered the capital. He temporarily stayed in the official post of the Ministry of Rites."

Zhu Yunwen was dizzy when he mentioned a bunch of famous titles. He couldn't understand who came to Nanjing for a long time. He was so angry that he glared: "To put it simple."

Hu Sizong hurriedly lowered his head: "It's considered the king of Uszang, called Lagabazangbu."

What a messy name.

Xie Jin, who has always been knowledgeable, explained a few words about the identity of the Lagaba Zangbu, and was interrupted by Zhu Yunwen's wave: "I don't have the time to listen to his origin and the origin of his large string of prefixes. Hu Sizong, just tell me directly, what is this thing for?"

Zhu Yunwen had always wanted to take over Uszang, but before he could figure out the reason, the people here came first.

"I heard the power of your Majesty's holy name, and offer the map of the Three Zangs and the imperial front! I also asked Your Majesty to give you seals and correct your name."

"Wait a moment."

Seeing Hu Sizong's passionate look, Zhu Yunwen stood up and went down the imperial stairs. He walked all the way to Hu Sizong to take the question book. He glanced at it and felt a headache, so he had to slap Hu Sizong in his arms.

"The more I talk about it, the more confused I am. I offer the Sanzang map. What do you mean is this thing that is to surrender? "

"Your Majesty's Heavenly Power..."

Before Hu Sizong finished his flattery, he saw Zhu Yunwen losing his face and immediately changed his words: "Yes, Lagaba Zangbu brought Sanzang's map and household book to present it, begging me to set up a Metropolitan Guard in the Ming Dynasty to enter Sanzang."

There are two grasslands in front and three Buddhist sects behind. Needless to say, they must be related to the invasion of the Green Sect.

"I just came here once when I remembered it. What should I use our Nanjing as a way?"

Zhu Yunwen was still bubbling with beauty. Xie Jin spoke behind his back: "Your Majesty, as early as the fifth year of Hongwu, this Lagaba Zangbu came once, and he offered a surrender to Taizu."

Before Zhu Yunwen could ask questions, Xie Jin hurriedly explained.

"In the second year of Hongwu, the general situation in the world was settled. Taizu ordered Duogan and the Xuanzhengyuan, which was against Yuan, to urge the former ministers of Shi Yuan to surrender.

In the third year of Hongwu, the Western King of Niyuan Town, Boerjijin-Buna surrendered to our Ming Dynasty. The following year, the three Dharma kings of Xuanzhengyuan left behind by Basiba were scattered, and he recommended the Mahayana Dharma King Nagaba Zangbu as the Sanzang Shangshi, and appointed him as the leader to Nanjing to surrender to Taizu. Taizu named him the national master of the Chisheng Buddha Lord and commanded all the Xuanwei Divisions, Zhaodan Divisions, Marshal's Mansions, Wanhu, Qianhu and other old official offices set up in the Uszang area.

Although I set up the Uszangdu Session in the Ming Dynasty, it was later abolished because of the unacceptable environment and local conditions. It has not been re-established for decades. The tribute was never held in the fifth year of Hongwu and twice in eight years. The six ministries in the central government of the court never set up the Uszang Session, which means that they have never commanded the Uszang."

In fact, if you want to know how big the territory in the history of the Ming Dynasty was in a certain period, you can refer to the establishment and decommissioning of the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty, and you will know that the territory of the Ming Dynasty has changed.

Don’t just look at the various Xuanwei Offices on the map. The establishment of the Xuanwei Office in the Ming Dynasty was not entirely established after destroying other countries, but all the vassal states that paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty would set up a Xuanwei Office in that area, which was more like an embassy in later generations.

The Xuanwei Departments of Mengyang, Cheli, Babaidian, and Old Port are of this nature. The Ming Dynasty's actual control over these areas is equivalent to zero. The Xuanwei Department of the Old Port was because when Zheng He went to the West, he fought a war with the local Han forces in the Old Port, and then appointed local Han people as officials of the Xuanwei Department. During that period, the Old Port area could barely be regarded as the territory of the Ming Dynasty. When the sea was stopped, the Xuanwei Department of the Old Port was destroyed by the local barbarians.

In the Yongle year, the Ministry of Revenue added Jiaozhishi and added a specialist to count the annual tributes of the Oirat and Tatar tribes. This annual tribute is actually similar to the taxes of the provinces within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, rather than tributes.

Tribute is an attitude, and you can give it to 800 sheep every year, and 3,500 depends on your wishes.

But the Ministry of Revenue has a dedicated person to come to the door to ask for it, which is a fixed number and it must be paid. It is the same as the annual tax payment of each province. Where can I pay as much as I want? During this period, it can be said that the grassland is part of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, because the Oirat and Tatars agreed to submit and were willing to pay the tax honestly.

After Ametemur died suddenly and Alutai killed the envoy sent by the Ming Dynasty to urge the Nian tribute, even if this business was suspended, no matter how Zhu Di personally fought against the grassland, the grassland could not be considered the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

As Jiaozhicheng announced that the Political and Envoys were independent, the Jiaozhicheng finally forced Zhu Di to give up the Jiaozhi Administration and Envoys and Envoys. After that, Annan Kingdom could not be regarded as the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

If someone pays tribute to you, it can only be called a vassal state, and the one who pays a fixed amount of tax every year is called a territory.

In modern times, giving some gifts and supporting some behavior is called AIA.

In the Uszang area, even tribute was rarely seen last time. It was really not considered the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Apart from the external invasion in the early Yongle Dynasty, Uszang entered Nanjing. Then Zhu Di enfeoffed the Eight Kings of Tibet and vigorously promoted the system of monks, which was to give Uszang a salary from the court. Then, the tax collected by the monks of Uszang from the serfs every year would be given to the Ming Dynasty.

During this period, Uszang was considered the territory of the Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Di stretched out his legs, he went out to become a vassal state.

After hearing Xie Jin's endless talk, Zhu Yunwen finally understood what this Lanjiabazangbu was, and his excitement in his heart faded a lot.

In the era of zero industrial foundation, the possibility of ruling the Us Tibet region was equivalent to zero. Is the Tibetan Plateau so easy to conquer?

Zhu Yunwen thought about it and said, "Okay, I know. Let that person wait first and summon him when I finish my work."

The dignified Mahayana Dharma King came to Zhu Yunwen's mouth and didn't even have a name.

Hu Sizong took the order to retreat, and Zhu Yunwen frowned and sat back to his seat.

"Let's go on, where did I just talk about?"

Several people were busy turning over the booklets in their hands.

"Your Majesty just said that this time, the border provinces should suspend the investigation of land and ditto, and not undermine stability, so as not to intensify the conflict between local local people and our Han people."

Yang Shiqi said: "Especially the newly established Jiaozhicheng Announcement of the Political and Envoy Department, we must be more cautious."

"I promised Jian Ding Jiaozhi to be autonomous for ten years, so I don't ask how he governs Jiaozhi."

After slapping his forehead, he thought about it. Zhu Yunwen said according to the topic: "Jiazhi is ripe two years a year, and the hinterland is even three years a year. It is a huge ready-made granary in the Ming Dynasty. Jiaozhi has stabilized, and the five southwest provinces do not need to allocate grain from the imperial court. Therefore, the connection between Guangxi and Jiaozhi must be built within the past two years. The military weapon bureau's gunpowder is sent to us for more use."

Yang Shiqi sat down and recorded the news. He raised his head: "There is not enough laborers. The Ministry of Works sent someone to survey and map and calculate. He built a national highway directly to Hanoi from Zhongming Prefecture. If the construction is completed next year, at least 200,000 people will be required to start construction together. Now only 50,000 people have been recruited in Guangxi, and the gap is very large."

"Or what if I want to recruit a batch from Jiaozhi locally?"

Xie Jin suggested: "The shortage of 150,000 people is only available at present."

"Jiazhi just finished the war, and I'm afraid it won't be able to make up for it for a while."

Moreover, the people's livelihood concerns in the future, and the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty opened up in the future. In addition, the previous major war was over. Most of the people living in Jiaozhi now were old children, sick and disabled, and they rely on these strong laborers to cultivate land and give birth to children at home. They cannot move too much for the time being.

Zhu Yunwen frowned and looked at the memorial that Hu Sizong had just sent on the big case.

Or, borrow the serfs under the Buddha's seat for use?

This is really a good opportunity. If you do it carefully, it may not be impossible to achieve it.

"Okay, I'll find a way to do this, the next item."

Everyone in the hall smiled at each other, and realized in their hearts that the emperor must have a way of thinking, and it would be great to follow such an emperor to do things. Although the emperor often does some things that are not worthy of the table, the central idea is for the Ming Dynasty.

"The provincial examinations of each province should be prepared and held, and the first one is Nanzhili. The prefect Yingtian handed over a book to ask for instructions. What are the topics to take?"

The provincial examination tests for political affairs, so what political affairs are tested?

In the past, when I took eight-leg essays and classic lecture notes, I was lucky enough to choose topics. I just put some words with ambiguous meanings on it, so that the candidates could fill in the annotations and impressions, which fit the general idea of ​​governing the world in the current dynasty, and also echoed the examiner's thoughts that were similar to those of the examiner at that time, so I passed the test. Now that the emperor is going to take the political exam, the topics are out of the question.

"What does the provincial examination require to do?"

Zhu Yunwen said dissatisfiedly: "This time, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture was responsible for the examination of the entire prefectures and prefectures of Nanzhili. Does he know what Nanzhili lack? Do you know what difficult problems he has encountered in being an official in recent years? Why do you still ask me?"

After a pause, he said again.

"Shanxi has been busy digging coal, Fujian has been busy transporting salt, Zhejiang has been busy raising silkworms, and Nanzhili has been busy weaving silk. The situation in each province is different. Can the heads of each province be blind and unable to see it?

Some time ago, the court cut off so many people's heads. Which yamen in the place is short of people? They don't know what they know?

Why is the local affairs like this not worth reflecting on?

This is my original words. Let the Tongzheng Department send them out and let them write them on their own."

The few people in the audience savored each other's feelings and nodded, thinking that Zhu Yunwen's words made sense.

Since the political affairs exam is tested, the political affairs of each province are different, and the central government ruled that the unified examination questions will not meet the situation of each province.

In fact, in the provincial examination, Zhu Yunwen planned to learn from the provincial examinations of civil servants in later generations.

That is, the administrative professional ability test and essay.

Anyone who has taken the civil service exam knows that there are many kinds of things in the field of practice tests. The purpose of the exam is to see the candidates’ access and knowledge. The difference between the essays varies greatly, and many of them will recommend popular public opinion and current affairs.

Zhu Yunwen planned to set up a set of practical test questions bank belonging to the Ming Dynasty in two years.

All classical contents such as Tao, law, Confucianism, agriculture, soldiers, and lingering are selected, and a complete set of questions are compiled into the ideas related to governing the country and the people.
