Ming Dynasty: Starting from inheriting the legacy of Apocalypse

Then Zhu Youzhen looked at the fold handed over by Wei Zhongxian, opened it and looked at it.

Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, the cabinet has not been cleaned up, and there are still two tigers dying." "

Since the emperor skipped the sea and the frontier, he didn't talk about the south.

Obviously, the emperor had no idea of making a move on the south, so they could only give up such thoughts.

The sky is big, and the emperor's idea is the biggest!

"They, that is, a jump, don't have much power in their hands!"

Zhu Youzhen was amused in his heart, obviously Tian Ergeng did not tell Wei Zhongxian about Cheng Jiming and Li Guopu.

It shows that Tian Ergeng followed Wei Zhongxian back then, but he was not sincere, but the Son of Heaven was not powerful.

Now, if you kill Li Guopu and Cheng Jiming, the two cabinet assistants, doesn't this tell the south that the empire is going to have a showdown with them?

However, Zhu Youzhen has no intention of having a showdown with him in the south, and solving the southern issue is already a big problem.

The value points in his system are insufficient, and he can't afford to play the explosive mode.

Although the military is strong, you must also be able to afford it!

At present, there is a person like Sun Chuanting who serves as the governor of the Jiangnan battalion, deterring the southern mutiny and stabilizing the south!

It's not that you can't tear a piece of meat from the south?

As long as Sun Chuanting and Yuan Keli joined forces and began to patrol the coast and block the main roads, there would still be tolls.

It's not difficult to harvest tens of millions of silver!

At the same time, he can also smuggle a large number of various materials prepared in the north, and he can still earn 10 million or 20 million silver.

Besides, although he is very rich now, he wants to completely carry out reforms and develop industry.

One of the biggest is the salt tax, which stuck this piece, and then coordinated the mines in the north and raised the price.

The south had to buy it, and the original profit was 10 percent, and Zhu Youzhen asked for a 30 percent profit.

Jiangnan gave the imperial court a commercial tax of 10 million taels of silver, and then added up the salt tax and the mining tax, and there were also 20,000 taels.

He also felt that he could, and he couldn't be forced too quickly, lest the dog jump over the wall in a hurry and bite people directly, which would not be the result he wanted to see.

It was enough to develop the industries of the North, reform the salt, mining and commercial taxes of the North, and basically keep the empire running.

The value of the system is insufficient, and it cannot afford to implement it nationwide, so it can only start the strategy of the north and then the south.

Five years later, after the completion of the industry and reforms throughout the North, the focus was again on the South.

At that time, the Empire's navy was enough to defend the maritime frontier from foreign enemies, and the last card of the South was broken.

Without the power of pirates, all the huge interest networks in the south would have become the big fat sheep he kept in captivity.

"Emperor, Li Guopu and Cheng Jiming are obviously not reconciled, and they still want to be in the Ying Dynasty, this is the heart of the Ming Dynasty who will not die~. "

Xu Yingyuan most wanted to take down Li Guopu and Cheng Jiming, two cabinet assistants.

It feels like the two of them are a stinky stone, smelly, hard and disgusting.

Wang Chengen didn't speak, these things had nothing to do with him.

He understood very well why Wei Zhongxian and Xu Yingyuan were so positive.

Take Li Guopu and Cheng Ji's life, at least one of them can install his own people into the cabinet.

He is now the chief butler of the royal family, ignoring the dirty things of the inner court and the outer court, and staying out of the matter is the way to be a minister.

"You're still too anxious to tolerate anyone else.

I advocate punishing the former and saving the future, treating the sick and saving people, but I am not talking about playing, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.

You should not be hostile to others just because you disagree with you.

As long as it is reasonable and reasonable, you must be taught with an open mind!"

Wang Chengen said: "The emperor is wise, there are a lot of things to do next year, in order to stabilize the south, the cabinet can't do without Li Guopu and Cheng Ji's life!"

When Wang Chengen said this, Wei Zhongxian and Xu Yingyuan all understood.

It's not that you don't kill, but now is not the time to kill two people to sacrifice the flag. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The two of them are the pawns used by the emperor to stabilize and appease the south!

If you kill Li Guopu and Cheng Jiming, wouldn't you tell the people in the south that the empire is going to use knives against them.

"This slave chieftain Taiji is not a thing, what does he think of Daming? "

Wei Zhongxian immediately scolded Huang Taiji.

It is not certain that Huang Taiji will go south next year, and the emperor will not tolerate the group of people in the south. []

Wei Zhongxian and Xu Yingyuan also tested the Son of Heaven head-on.

There is no way, Cao Huachun's life in the south is not easy, and the south puts a lot of pressure on him.

It can be said that Cao Huachun has been isolated by local officials in the south in the south, and the eunuchs sent by the imperial court to supervise have all become members of the family.

If it weren't for Sun Chuanting's Jiangnan camp stationed there, Cao Huachun even suspected that the southern officials and nobles would have conspired to kill him.

"You guys, don't just look at the grim situation in front of you, but also see that there are 300,000 troops stationed in Jiangnan, and they can't make trouble.

With the urine of those nobles and local officials, it is nothing more than stumbling to embarrass Cao Huachun, so that Cao Huachun will retreat from the difficulty, or become their person. "

After that, Zhu Youzhen smiled and reassured:

You've done a good job this year, I see it. However, there are enough people on death row to be killed. "

Zhu Youzhen understood that Wei Zhongxian and Xu Yingyuan regarded him as an omnipotent god.

feels that there is nothing in the world that he can't solve, even if it seems to others to be a dead end, he can easily solve it.

"A slave is a good minion, but he is short-sighted and has no strategic vision. "

Zhu Youzhen didn't hate Wei Zhongxian and Xu Yingyuan, wanted to kill Li Guopu and Cheng Ji, and vented his anger for Cao Huachun, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River.

It was not that he did not fail to receive reports from Sun Chuanting and Xu Xianchun, and also talked about the rejection of Jinyiwei and Xichang by the southern officials and gentry.

However, Zhu Youzhen only gave them a general task, as long as they maintained stability, and did not excessively irritate the southern officials and gentry.

The killing of Kong Yanzhi has made the gentry unstable, especially in the south, where the emperor is far away, and it is even more fierce.

It's just that he didn't rush forward like Xuefushe, and he dared to wave the banner of the Qingjun side.

Every day, there are impeachment excerpts of southern officials, impeachment of Cao Huachun and Xu Xianchun messing around in the south!

The so-called messing is nothing more than that many big landlords were suppressed by the two of them, and then the fields were returned to the Huangzhuang.

It's just that the two of them also know in their hearts that they have a degree, and they don't do things on a large scale, and they kill one or two big landlords from time to time.

And these big landlords were confirmed by Jinyiwei and the people of Xichang, and the south wanted to fight back, but there was no reason to fight back.

So only impeachment.

If you really kill Xu Xianchun, the second-in-command of Jinyiwei, and Cao Huachun, the first-in-command of the West Factory, it will be equivalent to tearing your face directly with the Son of Heaven.

They were not prepared to meet the wrath of the Son of Heaven.

In the same way, the Son of Heaven was not ready, and was preparing to carry out industrial construction and the reform of salt tax, mining tax and commercial tax in the north.

Xu Hongji was also afraid of forcing the Son of Heaven, so he directly flipped the table, and the consequences would be serious.

They had no other way but to rebel.
