Chapter Fifteen: The Swordsman

"Wang Qing, how is the situation in the southwest?"

The monarch and his ministers sat face to face. Zhu Houzhao asked Wang Yangming about the affairs in the southwest. Those stubborn chieftains were not easy to deal with. They surrendered and rebelled, and rebelled and surrendered again. This was a common occurrence.

"The reform of Southwest China has reached its final stage, and Prince Mu's Mansion is suppressing it, so there shouldn't be any more problems."

Wang Yangming replied.

No matter how cunning the southwestern chieftain is, how can he outfox him, a saint who is both civil and military?

Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied after hearing this. Wang Yangming was Wang Yangming and he had never been disappointed.

Wang Yangming was in charge of putting down the rebellion of King Ning, attacking the Fuso Island Kingdom, suppressing the grassland tribes, and returning the southwest to the land. He was like a brick, moving wherever it was needed, and solved many problems for him.

Wang Yangming was to him what Zhuge was to Liu Bei, and Liu Ji was to Hongwu. It was self-evident that he could live without the Eight Tigers, but he could not live without Wang Yangming.

"Thank you for your hard work, Qing Wang!"

There was a deep sense of gratitude in Zhu Houzhao's tone. Thanks to Wang Yangming, otherwise Liu Jian Xie Qian would be a rebellious minister. Whether the world belongs to him or not is another matter.

"Liu Jin, take note that Wang Shouren, the governor of the southwest, presided over the reform of the land and made great contributions to the country. The merit lies in the country and will benefit the future. Wang Shouren was given 30,000 taels of silver, a mansion in Kyoto, a pair of dragon and phoenix jade walls, and fifty pieces of brocade."

There are not many things, but they represent Zhu Houzhao's absolute trust in Wang Yangming.

Since Zhu Houzhao came to power, no one other than Wang Yangming has been able to receive such a generous gift.

"According to the decree."

Liu Jin bowed and responded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wang Yangming accepted it calmly.

"Wang Qing, can we further implement the three changes next!"

The three reforms are military reform, land reform and tax reform.

The military reform abolished the military household guard system left by Zhu Yuanzhang and replaced it with a recruitment system, breaking the situation where middle- and high-level officers were paid empty wages and the military's combat effectiveness became increasingly weaker.

During the land reform, land was state-owned and private buying and selling was not allowed, so that the wealthy gentry could not annex land unscrupulously.

In the tax reform, you will pay as much tax as you earn. Regardless of whether you are a businessman, aristocratic family, nobles or landlords, they will all be treated equally. It is simply called the officials and the gentry will pay the same tax.

Regarding the three reforms, Zhu Houzhao wanted to implement them a long time ago, but the situation at the time did not allow it, and it has been delayed to this day.

The situation is different now. The threat to the grassland has been lifted, the Japanese pirates along the coast have disappeared, the chieftains in the southwest have disappeared, the Jiangnan gentry group, many wealthy families in Linhai, the civil service group, and the noble group can't make any waves. No one can stop the three changes at this time.

!

"Your Majesty, I believe that the time has come!"

Wang Yangming's words undoubtedly showed his determination. As a spiritual saint who proposed the unity of knowledge and action, he also had the dream of praying for the people and creating peace for all generations.

As for the counterattack of all forces, he is not afraid. Although there are tens of millions of people, he does not lack the courage to go on. What's more, under Zhu Houzhao's repeated suppression, the major interest groups have long been out of control, and how many more are there?

Strength can stop him and Zhu Houzhao's reform.

"What I want is your words!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled. He and Wang Yangming's monarch and ministers joined forces to sweep everything. Whoever stood in his way would die.

The development of the Liaodong land still requires human lives to fill it. Anyone who is not afraid of death can come. Wang Yangming is not afraid. He even hopes that if all the moths are removed, the Ming Dynasty will become more prosperous and prosperous.

The king and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

.......

Three days later.

Zhu Houzhao was the first to arrive. He knew very well how many opportunities it represented when traveling to another world. How could he not pay attention to such a beautiful thing?

Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Qizhen arrived one after another.

"Who can explain to us what traveling to another world means?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to speak, asking future generations if he couldn't understand. This was his greatest realization since entering the mysterious space.

Zhu Di's family looked at each other in confusion. They also didn't understand. They could only bite the bullet and replied to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Dad, I don't know either."

"Zhu Houzhao, what about you?"

Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Houzhao. He didn't know why, but he always had an inexplicable feeling. Zhu Houzhao seemed to have a very clear understanding of what the otherworldly travel proposed by the mysterious space meant.

"Grandfather Taizu doesn't even know, and I don't even know!"

Zhu Houzhao spread his hands and said very bachelorly, provoking Zhu Yuanzhang, of course he would be very happy to trouble Zhu Di, Zhu Yunwen and his two uncles and nephews.

But it's embarrassing to ask him to share information. He doesn't know a word, because he likes to eat alone.

"snort......"

Seeing Zhu Houzhao pretending to be dumbfounded, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately snorted, very unhappy, and secretly thought about when to find a reason to beat Zhu Houzhao.

He was hiding something from his ancestor, which was simply an unfilial descendant. Sure enough, it was his standard that made him worry less. Zhu Di's lineage, from Zhu Di to Zhu Houzhao, were all rebellious descendants.

"Zhu Houzhao, what's your attitude? Grandpa Taizu is asking you something, answer it carefully!"

Zhu Qizhen jumped out to enhance his presence, and it was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with Zhu Houzhao, his great-grandson.

Zhu Yuanzhang beat him, but he endured it. Who made Zhu Yuanzhang the founder of the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Di beat him, but he endured it. A war madman cannot afford to offend him;

Zhu Zhanji beat him, but he endured it. It is only natural for a father to beat his son;

But Zhu Houzhao beat him, and he couldn't bear it and couldn't swallow the breath.

Zhu Houzhao was his great-grandson. How could a great-grandson beat his grandfather and his grandfather would have to endure it without getting angry? Zhu Qizhen was a coward to others, but he felt that he was still a bit of a deterrent to his own family.

Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Yuanzhang all looked at Zhu Qizhen in astonishment. They didn't expect that this coward had some courage, but what followed was a burst of sly laughter, waiting to see Zhu Qizhen

joke.

Zhu Houzhao, who could make all the ministers surrender and no one dared to challenge him, was not Emperor Jingtai. He would be intimidated by this loser Zhu Qizhen.

Keng

The dragon-embroidered spring sword was unsheathed, but there was a flash of cold light, and the blade was placed on Zhu Qizhen's neck. As long as Zhu Houzhao exerted a little force, Zhu Qizhen would immediately go to see the King of Hell.

"You, what are you going to do?"

Zhu Qizhen was frightened, trembling all over, and felt a little regretful. If he had known that his great-grandson was a ruthless person, he would not have cared about being beaten!

"It's nothing, I just want to tell you that although you are my grandfather's biological father, I think you are very unhappy, so don't mess with me, otherwise I can't guarantee whether my knife will lose control."

Zhu Houzhao threatened, pressing the blade down slightly, feeling the coldness of the blade on his skin, which frightened Zhu Qizhen half to death.

"Don't, don't, don't, if you have something to say..."

Zhu Qizhen was completely cowed. Face was not important, life was the most important. It would be better not to offend this ruthless man who valued his grandson in the future. He would use the knife if he disagreed with him. There was no one of him here, so he really couldn't be offended!

Seeing Zhu Qizhen's cowardly look, everyone was speechless. Sure enough, they shouldn't expect anything from Zhu Qizhen.

"The first large-scale team activity has officially begun, traveling the world - Swordsman, the door to other worlds is opening..."

"Ten...nine...eight...seven...six...five...four...

three two........."
