Chapter 644: Jiaozhi Development! The problem is that there is a shortage of people!

The imperial capital of Beijing.

Since the imperial court moved its capital, the Ming Dynasty has officially formed a structure of two capitals and fifteen provinces.

As for the two extra provinces, they are naturally Jiaozhi Province and Lingbei Province.

Compared with the remote Lingbei Province, the situation in Jiaozhi Province is more complicated.

The reason is that Annan has been separated from China for too long. It has become an independent country since Wu Quan in the Five Dynasties, and has long formed unique cultural customs and living habits.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty took advantage of the Pinghu War to forcibly recover Annan, and the county Annan would naturally encounter resistance from all walks of life in Annan.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu was discussing this issue with Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng, regarding the subsequent arrangements for Jiaozhi Province.

Zhang Fu was particularly concerned about this matter. After all, his old Zhang family wanted to control Jiaozhi in the future, and he did not want another rebellion in Jiaozhi, otherwise the emperor would definitely give him little shoes to wear.

Your Majesty, the Cochin area is not at peace. Rebellions happen from time to time.

Zhang Fu said worriedly, since he finally came back, he would have to learn from Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and asked: Old Zhang, do you know the reasons for the rebellion of the people in Jiaozhi?

I have understood this for a long time, but I just don't know how to improve it.

“Except for the two large plains in Jiaozhi, which can barely be called a fertile land, with abundant resources and abundant people, the rest of the area is covered by mountains that stretch vertically and horizontally, making it impossible to grow crops. Most of the people have no clothes to wear and no food to eat, and rely on fisheries. To make a living.”

In addition, during the period when Mo Dengyong usurped power and Li Xiao was in trouble, the chiefs and warlords in Cochin launched many wars in an attempt to seize the easy-to-get emperor's throne. This not only caused a lot of economic losses, but also left Cochin riddled with holes, which can be seen everywhere. The stragglers gather together to become bandits and infringe on one party.

Even though I have led the army to wipe out the stragglers one by one over the years, after the war, Jiaozhi and other places were riddled with holes. In addition, there was no money and no food, so the people of Jiaozhi continued to rebel!

Zhu Gaoxu had a headache after hearing this, and subconsciously rubbed his eyebrows.

To put it bluntly, this was Zhu Di's fault.

The reason why the Ming army was able to successfully pacify Annan was mainly because the Hu family's regime was often harsh and the people were not loyal to them. The Ming Dynasty responded to Chen Tianping's request, punished the people for their crimes, saved the people from fire and water, and promised to restore the virtuous descendants of the Chen family. Of course, this was welcomed by the people of Annan, and it was also a righteous move.

However, after the victory of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army broke its promise and directly rebuilt Annan, Jiaozhi County. It was an obvious mistake to make a hasty decision to recover Annan.

Zhu Di, who was so fond of success, only wanted to pursue civil and martial arts, so he didn't care about the feelings of the people of Jiaozhi.

But the Ming Dynasty King who came to help at the beginning turned into an intruder who invaded the country. Once his identity changed, the attitude of the people of Jiaozhi naturally changed drastically!

Coupled with what Zhang Fu said, the entire territory of Jiaozhi was affected by the war, and it itself had no money or food, so it urgently needed government subsidies for development.

But in the past few years, the Ming Dynasty was either at war or on the way to war. Money and food were also in short supply, which led to the fact that the newly attached province of Cochin could not be taken care of at all.

The land was invaded and occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and life was still miserable. I had to eat every meal without a meal, and from time to time I was beaten, scolded, and enslaved by the Han officials. If it were you, would you resist?

It would be strange if the people of Cochin did not rebel!

Now that the imperial court has moved its capital from Nanjing to Beijing, it is undeniable that its control over places such as Jiaozhi, Yunnan will decrease!

Therefore, how to develop Jiaozhi and completely control it in the hands of Ming Dynasty is a problem that must be solved now.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, tapping his knuckles on the table unhurriedly.

Zhang Fu, on the other hand, couldn't wait to put forward his request, or it could be said that he had this purpose from the beginning.

But fortunately, Mr. Huang Fuhuang has outstanding abilities. He has always implemented the educational policy of 'pacifying the people for the benefit of the people and treating everyone equally'. He has implemented benevolent policies and shown kindness to the people. Many people in Jiaozhi have accepted and recognized the imperial court.

But the only problem is that there is a shortage of people in Jiaozhi! Not only the state officials on the ruling side, but also technical talents from all walks of life. There are not even a few gentlemen in the county school, and there are even fewer people working on the fields. There are so few, and all aspects are extremely scarce, which seriously restricts the development of Jiaozhi.”

So, Prince, do you think you can clean up a few more corrupt officials and send them to the Cochin area?

Zhu Gaoxu: ???

Am I crazy?

Did you come up with this idea of ​​co-writing?

Why am I now a professional distribution official?

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Zhang Fu angrily and shook his head in rejection.

“Where do all these corrupt officials come from?”

Since the imperial court has raised the salaries of these officials, they no longer need to take risks and engage in corruption.

Do you really think Gu Penzi's Metropolitan Procuratorate is just a show-off? Those officials are frightened by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Hearing this, Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng were also dumbfounded.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate!

Now he is a behemoth of the Ming Dynasty!

It was good that the imperial court abolished the Jinyiwei, but the sudden rise of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was even more insane!

Those who can be admitted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all carefully selected hard-core people. Uprightness and fearlessness of power are the basic requirements, and it is even more normal to slander anyone they catch!

Gu Zuo, Gu Liqing, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was a notorious troll in the court.

Secondly, because of the reform of the Metropolitan Procuratorate by the prince in front of him, the Metropolitan Procuratorate not only has the power to independently arrest and review, UUkanshuwww.uukanshu.net can also obtain commissions by arresting corrupt officials, thereby improving the situation. Life has greatly increased the enthusiasm of everyone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate corruption!

I heard that Gu Zuo had learned from the Crown Prince in recent days and was preparing to implement some kind of KPI assessment system in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He also wanted to force the imperial censors to complete their performance on a monthly basis. The heroic statement that the hospital does not support idlers...

Tsk tsk, the good days of Ming officials have come to an end!

But in this case, what should we do about the talent gap in Jiaozhi?

Can't you even find a corrupt official these days?

Zhu Gaoxu is also in a bit of a dilemma. There must be corrupt officials, but there are definitely no tigers and rats who are as corrupt as before.

As for some gray income, Zhu Gaoxu is not prepared to crack down severely. After all, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Being too strict will affect the mood of officials in office.

As a result, the problem of talent shortage in Cochin becomes a bit troublesome.

After all, in the eyes of the world, Jiaozhi is a completely barren land, similar to the status of Lingbei Province.

No one even wants to be an official. Who would go to Jiaozhi to serve the people when they are full?

The great poets of the two Song Dynasties all regard being demoted to Jiaozhi and Lingnan as an official parting, and it is not unreasonable for them to never see their relatives again!

The reason why the development of Liaodong is on the right track is because the Xungui Group has shed blood. But where can we find another Xungui Group?

The imperial court can subsidize Jiaozhi, similar to the development of Liaodong, and introduce a series of policies and implement a series of preferential treatment.

But the key problem is that no one wants to take the initiative!

After thinking for a moment, a bright light suddenly flashed in Zhu Gaoxu's mind.

Zhang Fu, I heard that there are many gold mines in Jiaozhi?
