I am the king of the dead

The better off the people are, the more solid his throne will be.

Chen Yi looked at His Majesty who was smiling, and after careful consideration, he bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask His Majesty to decide, that is, can His Majesty pardon the family members of criminal officials who felled trees on Jilong Island? "

As soon as Chen Yi said this, the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly froze, and most of the people sitting there frowned.

Zhu Qiyu's face instantly froze, and his face sank like water.

Zhu Qiyu was a little puzzled, and he tried his best to keep his tone calm and asked: "Chen Zongxian, the family members of criminal ministers, do you still need Chen Zongxian to intercede for them?"

Chen Yi could still hear the anger in His Majesty's heart.

"Your Majesty is merciful." Chen Yi's forehead was sweating. His Majesty's good mood was completely destroyed by his words. It really deserves death.

But this is also where His Majesty's wisdom lies. No matter how angry His Majesty is, he will make people talk, let them finish their words, and accept good words.

When Chen Yi was in Beijing, he presided over the work of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He knew that some censors' words were really ugly, and they were even suspected of trying to gain fame, but not all their advice was unreasonable.

Chen Yi pondered for a while before saying: "Your Majesty, in fact, the families of these criminal ministers live in the cleanest houses in the chicken coop and Ryukyu, and they must be sunny; The family members of these criminal ministers will take the land first."

"On the island, the family members of criminal ministers don't even do much work. Logging in and out, field inspections, teaching and educating people, etc., are the family members of criminal ministers."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Chen Yi and asked, "Who is working?"

Chen Yi said rather helplessly: "The landless people from Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Nanya, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong who came to log on the island are working."

"These family members of criminal ministers are quite prestigious in Ryukyu and Jilong Island. They are still family members of criminal ministers, and their lives are extremely good, and the common people feel that they should take it for granted."

"The family members of criminal ministers can even eat white flour steamed buns!"

"In the eyes of the common people, these enjoyments of the family members of criminal officials are even taken for granted, because most of the common people cannot do the work these family members do. Most of the common people who go to Jilong Island to make a living are illiterate and can't count. How to measure an acre of land."

It's like Zhang Pocky's face has no pockmarks, and the cowshed is not a shed for cows, but a clean house facing the sun, which is the best material foundation that the common people can provide to the gentlemen.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "The Penghu Inspection Department stationed five thousand sailors, one treasure ship, and sixty warships. These gangs of criminal ministers and their families dare to cause chaos, and they must be calmed down."

After Chen Yi finished speaking, Zhu Qiyu already knew Chen Yi's worries. In fact, it was very simple. After obtaining enough social resources and means of production, these family members of criminal officials would inevitably seek political power.

And the family members of these criminal ministers have actually obtained certain political status and power on the island.

Want more?Still want to play tricks?

See if the knife in Zhu Qiyu's hand agrees or not!

Just as Chen Yi was about to speak, Yu Qian sat up straight and said, "Your Majesty, I think that five thousand is not enough. After all, there are more than one hundred thousand of these sinful ministers' families and even their slaves. Once they confuse the people, they will not Little things."

"The minister thought that it would be the right way to add another five thousand troops, set up a prefecture and county on Jilong Island as soon as possible, and encourage the people to go to Slinden Island."

There will be no vacuum in power. Once the court is absent, people will definitely take advantage of the loopholes. Obviously, the power of Jilong Island has been exploited right now.

"The crimes of the family members of the guilty ministers are unforgivable, and the minister also thinks that they cannot be forgiven." Yu Qian glanced at Chen Yi, and he agreed with His Majesty, so he denied Chen Yi's compromise idea of ​​pardoning the family members of the criminal ministers.

His Majesty's first priority is to give priority to Daming.

For Yu Qian, the first priority is His Majesty, otherwise His Majesty and the courtiers will argue, and for Daming, it will be a disaster among disasters.

Is it wronged His Majesty to pardon the family members of these criminal officials?Or do you wrong the family members of the guilty minister and continue to suffer on the chicken coop island?

Yu Qian chose the latter.

No matter who is wronged, His Majesty cannot be wronged.

This is the Ming Dynasty under the imperial system. It is the Ming Dynasty where the monarchs and ministers have lived for thousands of years.

And in Yu Qian's view, these problems can be solved through administrative means, as long as the problems can be solved through administrative means, it is not a big deal for Qian.

But His Majesty was twisting in his heart, it was not something Yu Qian could solve.

"Send another thousand commanders and generals to organize the farm law and reclaim new acres of land. We can't let these people take over." Zhu Qiyu added another bet after thinking about it.

To manage a piece of land, two things are needed, one is the grassroots, and the other is the proposition and extension of the theory.

One is organizational capability, and the other is clear and achievable goals.

And Zhu Qiyu did not lack these two things. He had prepared more than [-] commanding officers and generals for Annan County, and now they will be used in Ryukyu first, and they will be transferred later.

Chen Yi didn't intercede for the offender's family anymore, but bowed his head and said, "I accept the decree."

Has Chen Yi lost his loyalty to the emperor?

Zhu Qiyu didn't think so, Yu Qian didn't think so, and Chen Yi didn't think so.

Chen Yi's handling method can be said to be the practice of the Central Plains Dynasty.

For example, in the Song Dynasty, officials were constantly denounced or exiled to Qiongzhou Prefecture (now Hainan Province). After a few years, the imperial court amnesty the world, and the family members of these criminal officials and even the criminal officials themselves would become officials of Qiongzhou Prefecture.

For example, during the Yongle period, officials and family members of criminal ministers were demoted to Yongning Temple, and these people became officials of Nuer Gandu after the amnesty of the world.

This is a very common political practice, but if His Majesty refuses to pardon, then this matter will be out of the question.

As for whether the family members of these criminal ministers will join hands to cause trouble, Chen Yi is still very confident to deal with it, and with the help of His Majesty, there will not be many troubles.

Teng Zhao, governor of Fujian, said with a rather hesitant expression: "Your Majesty, I have done something. The army will conquer Cochin soon. I have two things to offer to Your Majesty."

"This thing is Panacea balm. It is made from peppermint, camphor juice, cinnamon oil, eucalyptus oil and paraffin wax. When encountering mosquito bites, apply a little panacea oil to the affected area to promote blood circulation, reduce swelling, relieve pain and relieve itching."

"If you have a cold, headache, or lack of energy, you can also take a small amount of panacea oil and apply it on the Yintang, forehead, and middle of the face, for cooling and relief, and for refreshing your mind."

"This thing is definitely not the Three Treasures of Fulu, and it is not addictive."

Teng Zhao brought up an iron box, which contained milky white paste-like oily substance with a faint mint aroma. Zhu Qiyu sipped it and wiped it on a pimple bitten by a mosquito, and a clear feeling came.

Teng Zhao saw that His Majesty's face was not displeased, so he continued: "There are many camphor gardens on Jilong Island, all of which are thousands of years old camphor trees, one piece after another, the camphor bark is boiled and cooled to obtain camphor oil, and condensation can be obtained Camphor, camphor can also be used to repel insects, and it has a miraculous effect on mosquitoes and cockroaches."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Teng Zhao and took out white mothballs one after another, picked up a crystal clear mothball, smelled the unique aroma, and smiled, of course he knew that this thing is useful, and it can prevent insects On the one hand, the effect is outstanding.

Teng Zhao's complexion changed drastically, he stood up abruptly, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, you can't eat this thing. It's not His Majesty's Liushen Pill. You can eat that. You can't eat mothballs!"

"Ai Qing, please be safe and don't be impatient. I didn't say I want to eat it. How did this thing come from?" Zhu Qiyu signaled Teng Zhao to sit down. Of course he would not eat this food, and he is not a child. He put everything in his mouth. Apparently it was an overreaction.

Only then did Teng Zhao heave a sigh of relief. He was offering treasures, not his life. He hesitated and said, "The minister gave five hundred silver coins to the Zhangzhou Perfume Factory. A total of seven people participated in it. It took seven months to stably prepare the camphor. It took more than a year to make this kind of panacea."

Zhu Qiyu said in a daze: "Five hundred silver coins, seven people?"

"Yes." Teng Zhao quickly explained: "People in Fujian used camphor trees to prevent insects, and used them in wardrobes, suitcases, lying boxes, top boxes, etc. to prevent insects from eating. The preparation of camphor balls is also a handicraft passed down from generation to generation by Fujian people."

"It's just not as old as the camphor trees in Jilong Island, and the output is so huge."

Zhu Qiyu picked up panacea in his left hand and mothballs in his right, looked at Teng Zhao and asked, "How is the output? Is it enough for the army?"

Teng Zhao immediately said loudly: "Return to Your Majesty, I have communicated with the Ministry of Household Affairs, and there is still enough for the military supplies of the army. I will definitely not delay your Majesty's Annan plan!"

Zhu Qiyu put down the mothballs and panacea, and asked Xing'an to keep them for Ran Siniang to study for a while, before asking: "Has the general office of Zhangzhou Perfume Factory come?"

"Not yet." Teng Zhao shook his head and replied, he was offering auspiciousness, and he didn't know whether it was in line with His Majesty's wishes, so naturally he didn't bring the general office.

Zhu Qiyu said with a little regret: "I thought I could see you soon, Xing'an, I will draw up a decree, to collectively remember the extraordinary merit cards of the seven people, and give the seven head merit cards, and I will go to Zhangzhou to award them personally!"

"The governor of Fujian, the left and right ministers and inspectors, the commanding envoys, and the prefect of Zhangzhou will each be awarded a medal for head merit, and everyone above the local county captain in Fujian will be awarded a plaque for Qili. The ground in Fujian has meritorious service in governance and good handling. Hereby Awarded honors, rewarded with this."

Teng Zhao straightened up abruptly, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Your servants also have the top card?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded.

It is still extremely difficult for civil servants of the Ming Dynasty to get the first merit card. There are less than 50 Chinese officials who can get the first merit card. Teng Zhao never expected that there is actually a first merit card this time.

The first merit card represents Daming's affirmation of them, and it also represents His Majesty's affirmation to them. With the first merit card, one can be an official until death, and at least one can invite the Ministry of Rites to draft a posthumous title and epitaph.

Zhu Qiyu rewarded them for their meritorious service in governing the region, whether it was for fear of being beheaded like Song Zhang, or for political achievements, the ground in Fujian, and the ground in Fujian.

If you make mistakes, you will be punished, and if you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded.

Are mothballs and panacea worth miracle cards?

Zhu Qiyu thought it was worth it.

Chapter 743 The Boundary of Public and Private Rights

Seven people from the Zhangzhou Perfume Factory made mothballs and panacea. Is it worthy of Zhu Qiyu's gift of miracles?

Naturally worth it.

Because mothballs can repel insects.

When the most honorable prince of the Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness Prince Xiang, was in Guizhou, he suffered from malaria due to mosquito bites. He had a fever for nearly a month, and he survived without dying for his country.

It is conceivable that the insect repellent of mothballs is beneficial to Daming, and it is a life-giving thing.

Zhu Qiyu's car continued to move forward, he didn't walk very fast, because nearly half of the [-] tiki under his retinue were disguised and went around to hear rumors.

His Majesty the Ming Emperor's southern tour was pragmatic, and he wanted to go deep into the grassroots to understand the details, and what His Majesty hated most was whitewashing the peace.

If there is a problem due to lack of ability, or the problem is deeply rooted, the emperor is not afraid of trouble, and will even help.

For example, if Yao Long couldn't deal with Jiangxi's schoolboys, the Great Emperor went to Jiangxi to solve it himself.

The great emperor hated whitewashing the peace, because this kind of cover-up created the illusion of a prosperous country and peaceful people, singing and dancing. It was to cover up the problems little by little, and dragged minor illnesses into serious illnesses, and finally became terminally ill and incurable.

Early detection, early reporting, early intervention, early diagnosis, early treatment, and early recovery are Zhu Qiyu's consistent political views. Therefore, on the way to the southern tour, Zhu Qiyu has been letting go of his own riding, and it is rumored.

There is nothing wrong with the feeling of covering up the extravagant households in Nanya. They really have a knife around their necks. Once they find something illegal, Zhu Qiyu will never show mercy.

In fact, the reports of local officials such as Chen Yi and Teng Zhao also reflected the biggest existing problem in Fujian, that is, too few Cheng Ding.

In the various prefectures of Fujian, there are children running everywhere.

There are not many young and strong laborers, in order to earn more money, they went to Ryukyu and Chicken Coop to cut trees and open up wasteland. Fujian has a shortage of young and strong laborers, so they poached corners from the neighbors.

This is competition between localities, and competition between localities is beneficial to the development of Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Qiyu is happy to see it succeed.

After more than ten days, Zhu Qiyu came to Fuzhou Mansion to stay. After several days of exhaustion, Zhu Qiyu will stay in Fuzhou Mansion to rest for more than ten days before heading south.

"Isn't Shang Ren editing the Records of King Ji Li?" Zhu Qiyu knocked on the table and said, "It's been a long time since I've been working on it, almost half a year now, haven't I found anything yet?"

"Your Majesty, it's not easy to repair." Xing'an chose to tell the truth, the orthodox 14-year record is really not easy to repair.

This is not a revision of history. It is clearly a resolution on several historical issues from the first year of Xuande to the first year of Jingtai. This resolution is a comprehensive summary of King Jili's 14 years in power, and it involves too many qualitative issues.

Even the memoirs that are closer to neutral narratives and record historical records are very, very difficult to write.

Some things are very vague, such as the issue of the Three Yangs. Should the Three Yangs be mentioned together as a whole, or should Yang Shiqi be listed separately?

Do you want to use the Chunqiu brushwork in some places?For example, King Jili played the piano for the Hu people outside the Great Wall, took the Hu people as his wife, and gave birth to a son. Now he is still in the Jiwang Mansion. Should these scandals of the old Zhu family be written down in the history books?

In some places, it is a matter of position. For example, did Wang Ji and others who conquered Luchuan three times and conspired to rebel against the government truthfully record their meritorious deeds?Is Xu Youzhen a traitor?Are Yuan Bin, Yang Han and other Tiqi loyal to the emperor?Was the signature of the court meeting when Prince Zhu Jianshen was abolished truthfully recorded?

Some have become history, and some are in progress. For example, Liu Pu, the son of Anyuan Hou Liusheng who formed the first artillery of the Ming Dynasty, followed Emperor Taizong Wen’s Northern Expedition five times, and finally died in Jiaozhi for the Ming Dynasty. Now Annan, the county of Daming County, is How to characterize Liu Pu?

There are also some things that are taboo for the venerable, for example, when His Majesty was still the King of Yi, he was famous for being romantic in the capital, one after another, should you write it in the memoir?

In principle, historians should of course remain neutral and objective.

However, under the imperial system, it is too difficult for the historian to be neutral and objective to write a record of the abolished emperor and King Jili who was beheaded by his majesty in the Taimiao today.

It's really hard to do.

Zhu Qiyu was amused, Shang Ren, the number one scholar in the third grade, was indeed very embarrassed to compile such a memorandum.

Fortunately, there is also an evergreen tree of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Wei, Minister of Rites, who is guiding these issues, otherwise it would be easier to resign from office and return to his hometown.

"Cultivate slowly, don't worry, you can practice until after I go to heaven, as long as he lives longer than me."

Zhu Qiyu's expression became serious and he said, "Tell Shang Ren that Ye Zongliu and Deng Maoqi's million-dollar riot in Fujian is the result of officials forcing the people to rebel! I must record the characterization of Song Zhang, Zuo Buzheng in Fujian. "

"It's not that the people of Daming are sorry for Daming, it's that Daming is sorry for the people. This is absolutely not to confuse right and wrong, turn black and white!"

"If Song Zhang didn't stretch out his hand to the people for the last handful of rice, life would be good, and if they were full, then many people would rebel along with them?"

Zhu Qiyu pointed at the table and emphasized: "After more than ten years of self-cultivation, Fujian digs the corners of other brother provinces every day. There are still not enough strong men. The streets are full of children aged six to eight!"

"It's all children!!"

To say that King Jili has been in power for 14 years, the biggest mistake is naturally the military adventure of the Tumubao Battle, which led to the loss of Ming Dynasty's elite.When the Ming Dynasty was in jeopardy, King Jili still knocked on the door himself, and the Ming Dynasty was even more in danger of being overthrown.

Well, King Jili has been in power for 14 years, and Fujian has suffered the most. Ten years have passed in a hurry, and people's livelihood in Fujian is still withered. Looking at the past, it is full of children. All children are hope and tragedy of the times.

Zhu Qiyu visited Fujian in the south and walked very slowly. He wanted to know whether the scar would heal.

The scar engraved on Daming's body has just scabbed over and is still bleeding.

Bone-piercing scars.

"The minister leads the decree." Xing'an took out a memorandum to record the matter, and he would fly a pigeon to send a letter back to Beijing, conveying His Majesty's highest instructions.

Does this count as His Majesty's intervention in the compilation of history?

This is nothing in Ming Dynasty. After all, after Emperor Wen abolished and destroyed all the Records of Ming Taizu compiled by Jianwen Dynasty, he revised them again.
