I can’t laugh or cry

"You kid can talk."

Lao Zhu's face looked a little better. Indeed, without the foundation he laid, there would be no good life for rebellious sons and grandsons like Zhu Di and Zhu Houzhao.

But the next moment, he felt that Zhu Houzhao was telling the truth and was trying to seduce him. Others didn't know, but he, who had been to the world of Zhengde, didn't know that Zhu Houzhao had overthrown all the Ming Dynasty systems he had established.

Just this, and saying it is based on the foundation he laid is clearly mocking him.

"Zhu Houzhao, are you looking for trouble?"

Lao Zhu’s eyes are not good.

"Let's get on with business!"

Zhu Houzhao changed the topic and returned his gaze to the little fat man Bao Ye: "How should we conquer the world of Swordsman?"

“As long as it fits the main line!”

Master Bao replied softly, then lay down on his shell bed and continued to sleep soundly.

Zhu Houzhao immediately summoned Yang Yiqing in Nuange.

Lijia Village in Taiyuan, which was the first to cause trouble, claims to be a descendant of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty royal family. In fact, it is just a descendant of a boy who once raised horses for Tang Emperor Li Yuan.

Zhu Houzhao shook his head helplessly. Those local clans were really ignorant. How could a true descendant of the royal family dare to be so public and wanton?

Sure enough, the Riddler is the most annoying.

Although this suggestion was not adopted by Lao Zhu, it also shows how important it is to have an ancestor with a famous name. Even if it declines, others will still think highly of it.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

"Really."

Since ancient times, it has almost become an ironclad fact that imperial power does not go to the countryside.

Zhu Houzhao asked Liu Jin to arrange a secret residence for Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing. From now on, their main job will be to research and manufacture various advanced weapons for Zhu Houzhao.

Claiming to be descendants of the Tang royal family is just pretending to be majestic and fooling people. Anyway, the Tang Dynasty has been destroyed for many years, and no one will check their details.

Birth determines destiny!

"Taiyuan Lijia Village, Kaifeng Zhaojia Village, Luoyang Liujia Village, Huayin Yangjia Village"

Zhu Houzhao asked Yang Yiqing that although the rebellious local clans had been suppressed, there were still countless local clan forces in the Ming Dynasty. He would not rest assured unless all local clan forces were disintegrated.

"How does Yang Qing think the local clans should be dealt with?"

But it’s not ridiculous!

Everyone in Lao Zhu's family was completely confused and had no idea what the "main line" meant.

He blatantly claims to be a descendant of the royal family and openly challenges the imperial court that controls the world. Is it because he doesn't want to die quickly enough?

There must be real descendants of the royal family, but they will definitely not be those local clans. It is too late for the real descendants of the royal family to keep a low profile, so how can they dare to publicize and flaunt themselves everywhere.

Find yourself a powerful ancestor to act as a protective umbrella, to show off your authority and fool others.

People and wealth were both gained, and everyone took everything. Chongzhen's world and everyone in the old Zhu family gained well, but it was Zhu Houzhao who got the big head.

Therefore, although the operations of local clans claiming to be descendants of the royal family make people laugh or cry, it is not difficult to understand.

Is it absurd? It is indeed absurd!

But after bragging for a long time, he really thought that he was a descendant of the royal family, and dared to challenge the imperial court, and then was easily suppressed by Yang Yiqing.

"absurd!"

"Local clans are bound by blood, and most of their internal members are people of the same surname and clan. It is very, very difficult to completely dismantle the power of the clan!"

Yang Yiqing understood Zhu Houzhao's thoughts and couldn't help but shook his head.

It’s nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

Of course, Zhu Youjian had no objection to this. His ancestors had helped him manage the turbulent country, so it was appropriate to take some artillery skills as a reward.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, some people felt that Lao Zhu was of humble origin and was just a cowherd boy. Even if he ruled the world, it would be difficult to convince the people of the world, so they suggested that Lao Zhu recognize Zhu Xi as the ancestor of Neo-Confucianism.

The reason why it went so smoothly must be attributed to Zhu Houzhao. If he hadn't carried out a large-scale purge of the civil servant group, the Jiangnan gentry, and the vassal group, all the forces would not have honestly accepted the new policies of the imperial court.

Eating, sleeping, and eating are the main components of his life. After all, everyone in Lao Zhu's family will help him get what he needs, so he can naturally live a leisurely life.

It was not only Zhu Houzhao who was a thief, everyone in the old Zhu family also had a unique vision. The artillery technology of the Chongzhen Dynasty was unparalleled. They all consciously copied the artillery technology of the Chongzhen Dynasty and packed it away.

Everyone returned to the world of Chongzhen, took some rest, and then returned to their own world.

When you come, you will feel empty; when you leave, you will come back full.

Reforms were in full swing in various places, and Yang Yiqing, who was sent by Zhu Houzhao to suppress local clan rebellions, also returned.

Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing packed them up and took them away regardless of whether they wanted it or not.

Zhu Houzhao was thoughtful and roughly understood what to do.

Compared to everyone in the old Zhu family, Zhu Houzhao is undoubtedly more ruthless. He wants technology, and he also wants people.

After three trips back and forth, Liu Jin, Kuihua Sword Guard, Xu Guangqi, and Song Yingxing were all brought back to the Zhengde Dynasty.

Zhaojia Village in Kaifeng, Liujia Village in Luoyang, and Yangjia Village in Huayin are all the same, claiming to be descendants of the royal family, but in fact they are not as powerful as they boast.

"Main line."

Zhu Houzhao was extremely speechless. Apart from the word "ridiculous", he couldn't find any other words to describe the shameful operations of those local clans.

After listening to Yang Yiqing's report, Zhu Houzhao immediately couldn't laugh or cry. He almost died laughing at the saucy operations of those local clans.

But Zhu Houzhao did not believe in evil. The imperial power must be sent to the countryside, and every inch of land in the Zhengde Dynasty must strictly implement his will.

With the title of Zhu Xi's descendant, even if Lao Zhu is indeed a cowherd boy, he will become brilliant in the eyes of the world, just like Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. He not only gets rid of the inconvenience caused by his low status, but also can

Use this to win over scholars all over the world.

Since you can't figure it out, don't think too much. The boat will go straight to the bridge.

All affairs of the Zhengde Dynasty were carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of Wang Yangming. Many matters could be easily solved without Zhu Houzhao personally coming forward.

He was able to suppress the rebellious local clans because there were many conflicts within the clans. There were some who were unscrupulous and those who did not want to go against the imperial court. With a little use, they could be easily suppressed.

However, it is almost impossible to completely disintegrate the power of clans in various places. The bloodline is endless, not to mention that some local clans are descendants of real historical celebrities. Although they are gradually declining, they still have wide connections. It is extremely difficult to completely disintegrate and divide them.

Big, no less than launching a major purge.

Moreover, local clans are far more complex than interest groups such as civil servant groups, Jiangnan gentry, and feudal princes groups. They include ordinary people, declining nobles, and powerful country gentry. The personnel are complex. If the three religions and nine streams are implemented, local clans must be disintegrated unless they take their own initiative internally.

There will be chaos, otherwise

The court should not intervene forcibly. If it is done forcefully, it is likely to cause a strong backlash from local clans and lead to a civil commotion.
