Chapter 204.

Zhu Di said: “The credit has been said, this credit here, I called the Secretary to come, only one thing …… that is how to reward, everyone as usual speak freely, there is no need to have what to avoid.”

Zhu Di returned to the imperial case, took his seat, and with an air of calmness, slowly sipped his tea.

Zhu Gao Suo climbed up with his injuries and obediently sat on the brocade pier, already not daring to come out of the atmosphere.

At this point, everyone was a bit confused instead.

The main thing is that Your Majesty says that Kung Fu is Kung Fu, but what does Kung Fu mean to Huo Zaiwei?

Combined with His Majesty’s move to violently beat Zhu Gao Suo thereafter, it was clear that this was not an impulsive and reckless move, but an intentional one.

Seeing that all the people were silent, Zhu Di began to name names: “Secretary Xie, you speak first.”

Xie Jin said: “Such a great work, of course, to match the reward, if not, and how to convince the public? I thought …… when the gleaming, reward money and grain …… mansion …… to show its merits.”

When Zhu Di heard this, he suddenly smiled coldly and said, “You are stingy!”

Xie Jin said: “This minister shallow opinion.”

Zhu Di ignored him and looked at the Duke of Wei and said, “Secretary Xu, come and say something.”

Xu Huizu was thinking about Zhang Anshi at this time, at this time Zhu Di suddenly inquired, so that he was caught off guard, he subconsciously said, “Zhang Anshi is also not too old ……”

Zhu Di glared at Xu Huizu, and at this moment, felt that Xu Huizu really had no pattern.

Seeing that everyone is not too enlightened, Zhu Di then stood up, back hands, paced two steps, then said: “The merit of saving the driver, plus military service, I think about it …… may as well register it as a Shihou …… ”

When these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.

Many people here grew up in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty, even these younger Xie Jin, also read history, the word “Shihou”, how could it not be clear?

Those Shihou, is considered to be a party, in fact, the end of the Yuan Dynasty in the chaos, this Shihou to the people can bring a lot of disaster.

After the establishment of Ming Dynasty by Emperor Taizu, the prevention of small and medium-sized, although also on the clansmen for the division, but in fact, the power that the feudal lord can exercise in his own feudal land, compared to that of the world’s vassals, it is really far from it.

Because the Shihou could appoint his own officials, decide how much tax to pay, establish his own criminal law, and recruit his own soldiers!

Apart from paying a tax every year as promised to the court, or bringing their own soldiers and horses to accompany the army when the court used them, there were hardly any other obligations.

Xie Jinyin first stood not out said: “Your Majesty, can not ah …… if so ……”

Seeing Zhu Di’s cold face, but Xie Jin thought of his own son, so he swallowed his words back in his stomach.

Yang Rong and Hu Guang glanced at each other, Yang Rong at this time also know that he does not stand up to oppose can not be, so he said: ”Your Majesty, I thought …… can not be so, your majesty if you love and care for the Annan Hou, can not come out of this strategy, traditionally high merit, reward and gift have to be moderated, if there is no moderation, it is difficult to avoid nourishing arrogant The heart, this is Zhang Anshi, greatly unfavorable. ”

“As for the Shihou …… is the former Yuan’s evil government, it is not easy for my Great Ming to right the ship ……”

Zhu Di pressure hand, smiled and said: “Yang Qingjia words have some truth, but …… I want everyone to speak freely, and do not have to you a person to speak. Qiu Qingjia, what do you think?”

Once Qiu Fu Fang heard the word Shihou, his mind was different.

To know, to be able to make meritorious achievements to become a male marquis, it must be a military minister, he is now considered to be a position of great importance, to become a state minister, but the state minister of Daming …… is essentially placed in the Yuan Dynasty, may even be inferior to the Hundred Mile Marquis, but it is only a part of the annual imperial court to give a part of the salary!

As for their children and grandchildren, if they have good results, get the later emperor trust, or can also be reused, if the later emperor is not like, most of the life is only a status of noble some of the idle man just.

But the Marquis of the world is very different, this is the real tired family business, Zhang Anshi this side opened this head, in the future he Qiu Fu and then put together a spell of life, it is difficult to guarantee that in the future may not also earn a world public.

Taking a step back, even if he has no more chances, but his children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and in the future, in all likelihood, they will still have to serve in the Ming army, so who says there are no chances?

Just …… his mind moved, but he was afraid that he was in front of his majesty, appearing greedy, so he cautiously said, “I thought …… there is indeed something wrong, but your majesty has opened the golden mouth, obviously there is your majesty’s reasoning, I am a rough man. I know nothing …… about it.”

Zhu Di laughed and his eyes turned to inquire about Zhu Neng’s head.

Zhu Neng’s brain has long begun to run fast, his son, and Qiu Song, and Zhang Yoking a few, this time of course is not the first merit, Shihou certainly did not have a share, but the merit can be accumulated!

My son …… stupid is stupid some, but at least he is willing to contribute, he is still young, the future ……

Of course, the thought is so, but the words can’t be said directly.

So Zhu Neng said, “I also don’t know anything, just know that what your majesty says is right, who dares to say it’s not right, humph …….”

Zhu Di stroked the case said, “It seems …… that all the ministers have their own thoughts, very good …… Jin Zhong, Jin Qingjia, you are the Secretary of the Ministry of the Army, and what is the high opinion?”

Jin Zhong only said, “I second the motion.”

He’s dry and clean, no tricks at all.

Zhu Di finally looked at Xie Jin three people: “It seems that everyone has no objection to this, I see which …… Wen Yuange to prepare an imperial edict, enthroned Zhang Anshi as a Shihou, Cognac ten thousand households, the fiefdom will be in the Annan Shunhua Province it.”

His words carried an undeniable tone.

Xie Jinyin and others …… know that the wood is gone.

Hue Province, this place, is considered to be the center of Annam, happens to be in the middle of the narrow strip of Annam, as if the middle of the stretcher, connecting the north and south of Annam.

This place, in fact, most of the civil and military ministers do not know where, but Zhu Di is familiar with Annan.

This place is the military town of Annam coming from the south to the north, and it can also be used as a large seaport, and it is sealed to Zhang Anshi …… for the purpose of strengthening the control of Annam.

This Hue was originally set up as two states in the Annamese Kingdom, one was Hue and the other was Hue, and when Annam was under the jurisdiction of the Viceroyalty, it was merged into one and became Hue Province.

What Zhu Di didn’t know was that because of its geographical location, so in history, when Annam was restored to the country, this Hue became the capital of the later dynasties of Annam Quang Nam Nguyen, Tay Son Dynasty and Nguyen Dynasty, which lasted for hundreds of years.

At this time, Zhu Di then said, “After drawing up the imperial edict, edict the world, to teach everyone in the world to know.”

I heard that this place is Annan, Xie Jin a few long breath.

Scared to death, thought it was going to be a scourge on North and South Zhili and the 18 provinces!

At that moment …… the crowd responded honestly to the order.

…………

The following day, the decree was sent to Sukhumvit.

Zhang Anshi got the decree and did not expect to have an additional hereditary territory.

Zhang Anshi immediately came to the spirit of the eunuch who came to pass the decree very polite, generously let people take the silver, rewarded this eunuch.

And then he could no longer hide the good mood that filled his face.

It’s good to have a territory, to have a territory, so you can really experiment socially in that place.

Although it is far away a little bit, but in fact …… the future if the vigorous development of maritime transport, this Hue is a natural giant port, Songjiang mouth this side of …… if there are enough sea ships to travel between, in fact, but only a month or two will be able to arrive at the round trip.

It is important to know that Zheng He’s fleet of ships had specialized fast ships that could reach a horrific speed of forty kilometers per hour in a tailwind!

Of course, this kind of belongs to the typical three-second real man, encountering a headwind or other situations, the speed is still limited, belonging to the sprinter type.

But even so, the ship can reach Hue in half a month, which is definitely fast.

The biggest advantage of this sea transport, in fact, may not be fast, mainly or load capacity, on land thousands of tens of thousands of pounds of goods, transport not only loss is amazing, the speed is also extremely slow, but in the sea, but does not cost any effort.

Anyway, earned it.

When they learned the news, everyone came to congratulate them.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Not much, not much, only the cognac ten thousand households only, a household of six or seven people, but only fifty or sixty thousand people …… in my Ming, but only the population of a middle county, this is the holy grace of the great, I Zhang Anshi… …really grateful which.”

Zhu Yong said with a face of admiration, “Big brother is just marvelous, other people don’t have big brother’s skills.”

Zhang Anshi said, “I want to immediately report to thank the grace, such a great grace, really sweet rain, infiltrated in my heart, great grace …… even if it is a thousand words, it is difficult to report a thousand times. Come to people …… to take pen and ink to ……”

“It’s just ……” Zhang Anshi waved his hand and said, “Don’t use ink, just fetch a pen, I want to write in blood.”

Zhu Jin stood on the sidelines, listening to the dumbfounded, the heart can not help but feel, the world marquis …… is no wonder, this is no wonder …… really worthy of being a marquis ah.

Zhang Anshi said, he wanted to bite his finger, this thing he learned on TV, but after a few bites, he couldn’t bite it, so he frowned.

Looking up, he again saw everyone looking at him one by one happily, as if expecting something.

Then Zhang Anshi’s eyes turned, and he landed on a person, saying, “Second brother, come closer and lend me some blood.”

“Ah …… this ……” The smile on Zhu Yong’s face disappeared.

Zhang Anshi said, “My own brother, big brother I am afraid of pain, lend you a small bowl is.”

“Oh, oh.” Zhu Yong didn’t say anything and started biting his fingers as well.

Zhang Anshi said, “And slow down, first sterilize …… don t let the wound get infected …… when the time comes Big Brother is heartbroken for you.”

After saying this, he had someone fetch spirits and apply it to Zhu Yong, who then bit his finger and dizzily squeezed out a small bowl of blood.

Zhang Anshi took advantage of the fact that the blood had not yet solidified, and immediately waved the brush and splashed blood, and crookedly wrote a zhengzhi, which was put aside.

Zhang Anshi lamented, “I recommend Xuan Yuan with my second brother’s blood, and the kindness of knowing him is really hard to repay with ten thousand deaths.”

After repairing the sangha, Zhang Anshi was busy going to bandage Zhu Yong.

Zhu Yong grinned with a simple smile on his face and said, “Big brother, it doesn’t bother me, I’m used to it.”

“I know you’re used to it, yet you still have to be careful or you’ll get tetanus, and then Uncle Shih will have to chop me into pieces.”

Carefully sterilizing and bandaging Zhu Yong’s finger as if it were a Tianzhu A San, he was relieved.

Zhang Yoking said with envy in his eyes from the sidelines, “Big brother, actually I can do it too.”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Save it for next time, we can’t waste it, there’s no rush.”

Zhang Anshi then said to Zhu Jin, who was staring blankly at the side: “From now on, you do one thing …… that is to recruit people and go to Hue! Readers …… monks …… smiths …… in short, how many to as many as possible, by the way and then see where there is a big disaster, where there is a disaster, give me to go to the disaster place, those disaster people Poor, to give them a mouthful of food, send them to Hue, silver …… no need to merchant bank out, from my Zhang family’s account to go. Talent is everything, to eat these ten thousand families, I must have at least a few thousand people of all colors.”

Zhu Jin retrieved his mind, and hurriedly responded: “This is a good deal, Fujian, Zhejiang West, and Guangdong North, these places …… as long as they are willing to give mouths to feed, they are willing to go out to sea.”

Zhang Anshi nodded and said, “Go well, in the future to open a route to Hue, to ensure that …… there are daily ships to and from …… roughly these. Other things, I will repair the book to the fifth brother to explain, he is in Annan, some things, he stepped forward more convenient.”

Immediately afterward, Zhang Anshi went to the palace with the sangs of thanks.

When Zhang Anshi entered the palace, Zhu Di was at the Wulou building and summoned Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong to discuss major issues.

These two, is Zhu Di’s most important beloved, Yao Guangxiao is a strategist, and Jin Zhong section of the Ministry of War, but also Zhu Di’s most concerned about the Department of the Hall.

Hearing that Zhang Anshi had come, Zhu Di glanced at Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong, and said to Yiluoha, “Call in.”

In fact, Zhu Di had anticipated that Zhang Anshi would probably enter the palace to thank for his kindness at this time, so he was not surprised.

When Zhang Anshi came in, he said, “Your Majesty …… I am grateful for the rain of Your Majesty ……”

Without waiting for him to continue, Zhu Di waved his hand and said, “No need to be courteous, where is the sangs of thanks?”

Zhang Anshi let also lost ha into the upper.

Zhu Di opened the zhangshi, immediately felt a bloody gas, a moment of jaw-dropping: “You taught your brother to steal other people’s chickens again?”

Zhang Anshi said in a serious manner, “This book of blood is human blood.”

Zhu immediately said, “What about your wounds?”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

He wanted so much to ask, Your Majesty, is the wound the point?

Zhu Di at this time glared at him, said:” into his mother, always play these vain tricks ……”

Although it is cursing, but Zhu Di is very satisfied with this. Although he knows that this guy is afraid of pain and death, but at least he still expressed his loyalty, with this heart is very good.

Sometimes, the supervisor may have long understood your weaknesses, but they do not expect you to really do something, in fact, just want you an attitude.

Zhang Anshi then said, “I originally wanted to use their own blood, but the minister’s brother Zhu Yong, desperately blocked, saying that the minister’s health is not good, no blood, to lose a lot of energy, and now the inner thousand households and Qixia side can not be separated from the minister for the sake of the country’s grand plan, the minister’s brother, Zhu Yong, will be decisive …….”

Zhu Di people insufficient emotion, “Zhu Yong this child ……”

Shaking his head, for a moment he didn’t know whether to say that the kid was two, or was he a deep thinker, dead set on being tied to Zhang Anshi.

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile, and to Zhang Anshi, smiled, “Congratulations to Marquis of Annan.”

Jin Zhong also said, “Congratulations, congratulations, the Marquis of Annam has set a precedent for my Daming.”

Zhang Anshi hastily put on a modest look and said, “I wouldn’t dare.”

Zhu Di then said, “You sit down, I and the two ministers, is deliberating, also happens to discuss you.”

Zhang Anshi then owed it to himself to sit on one of the brocade piers, only at this time, he obviously had little say.

However, I heard Zhu Di say, “The fact that Minister Jin did not object to me sealing the Shihou yesterday is a surprise to me.”

Jin Zhong smiled and said, “If it were last year and His Majesty wanted to confer a Shihou, I would have opposed it with all my might.”

He paused and then said, “But this evening is not the same as that year, His Majesty’s deep thinking, suddenly proposed the Shihou, I have actually known …… that His Majesty’s move, there is a great deep meaning, there is no reason to oppose it?”

Zhu Di laughed, pointing to Zhang Anshi, “Zhang Anshi, you have to listen well, this Jin Qingjia …… is very knowledgeable.”

Zhang Anshi nodded his head humbly.

Zhu Di looked at Jin Zhong again and continued, “Secretary Jin, there are no outsiders here, so there’s no harm in you speaking up.”

Jin Zhong said, “People say that the Emperor is the King of the Nine or Five, but is it really so?”

This old guy …… Zhang Anshi thought in his heart, really opening is not shocking to death!

But Zhu apparently liked the tone and was actually happy.

Jin Zhong said, “In fact, where in the world there is such a thing ah, this is to deceive the ordinary stupid people. Throughout the dynasties, for so many years, whether or not there is a Kong saint descended to the world, the so-called emperor …… is simply in line with the wishes of the majority of the people in the world is just.”

“When a great disaster strikes and the people are left alone and displaced, the Emperor’s decree is needed to provide relief. Generals and soldiers fought on the battlefield, the family has parents, wives and children to support, naturally, but also need the emperor reward, so that they can make a name for themselves, allocate money and food for them to support their parents, raise their wives and children. Readers learn the Four Books and Five Classics, want to be an official, also counted on the emperor to open the Enke, give them a step, so as to teach them to leap over the Dragon Gate. Those ordinary people, hope to get a stable life, rather than the world people claimed the king, everyone for the emperor, the chaos of soldiers, thieves and bandits countless, so …… hope that the world is set in one place, nothing …… is the world of ten thousand people, the vast majority of the world want to live in peace, it is just. ”

Although the person in front of the emperor, but Jin Zhong in front of Zhu Di blunt: “Because of this, so I observe the dynasties, but where the emperor can meet the number of people will, so that the vast majority of people, can be solicited from the emperor’s body to the benefit of the, then this must be the world of peace, the Prince of Heaven throne is as stable as Mount Taishan. ”

“But if the emperor against the will of the majority of the people in the world, will certainly be denounced as a bad government, tyranny, will pass down, but no one is willing to implement, and ultimately reduced to a piece of paper. Over time, the people of the world are greatly disappointed, and this emperor will truly become a loner, but only trapped in the palace, in that cave of heaven to reign supreme, and not long after that, it will be the time of the scourge.”

“Because of this, any emperor, the first thing to do …… is to be able to set the will of the world, just what is this will for? Zheng He’s flotilla of people, hope their hard work, can be compensated. Into the Annan generals, hope that their own garrison, can get deserved compensation. Those who have made meritorious achievements, hope that they can give their children and grandchildren a few more favors, and these years the great disasters are frequent, the people also hope …… that when the great disasters come, the imperial court has a resolute initiative to make them survive.”

After a pause, he went on to say: “His Majesty’s conquest of Annan, borrowed Annan to get a lot of money and food, and now I think that I want to avoid a catastrophe, so that the martial arts people have a step forward, it is necessary to conquest of Annan like this, and constantly alleviate the world’s ten thousand people’s taxes as well as the pressure of the land. But to conquer the domain, how difficult, which is the most difficult …… is how to make countless soldiers, willing to give up their families to go on the war, die in a foreign land, think, this is also the original intention of His Majesty’s Shihou, today named Zhang Anshi as the Shihou, then His Majesty’s conquest of the decree, will certainly be the response of thousands of soldiers, everyone rubbing their fists and palms, each when the first. ”

“After all, what my Ming lacks is not manpower, nor is it food and pay, what is most lacking is precisely the millions of people, the heart of the tiger to see the world. To build the merit and vassalage, only can motivate the top and bottom, teach people to make merit.”

“Annan Marquis, sincere as Shang Yang set up a wood for the letter in general, is set up that a piece of wood just. It is only with this wood that one can be convinced that the Marquis of those who have won military honors, and that one can receive the strange effect of Shang Yang’s change of law in general. I am the Secretary of the Ministry of War, what I am considering, is the generals to your majesty’s intention, but it is just some shallow opinion, maybe your majesty has other considerations, if there is any difference in what I have said, please forgive me, your majesty.”

Zhang Anshi listened attentively, but couldn’t help but say in his heart, “I’ve become a log?

Zhu Di heard, to the time to openly laugh: “Jin Qing know my intention, good, now it seems that …… if you do not change the law, can not become this achievement? These ideas, I have long been moving thoughts, this time coincided with Zhang Anshi made a great achievement, just to take this implementation! ”

With that, he looked at Yao Guangxiao and said, “What about Master Yao, what do you think about this?”

Yao Guangxiao said, “Amitabha Buddha, good, good, Your Majesty …… what I am thinking of is only to promote Buddhism, what Jin Gong said …… is already more detailed than that.”

The meaning of this statement is self-evident!

It was a joy to see the three talking freely.

Zhang Anshi held his tongue for half a day, then suddenly popped out and said, “I don’t think this is enough.”

When Zhu Di and Jin Zhong and Yao Guang Xiao heard this, they all looked at Zhang An Shi in unison.

Zhu Di said with a wry smile, “Then Secretary Zhang also come and say something.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Setting up a tree as a letter is indeed very clever, and I also took this opportunity to get such a great favor from your majesty …… since I am grateful …….”

Zhu waved his hand and glared at him, “Pick up the important ones.”

Zhang Anshi so helpless, had to save the heart prepared a hundred words, said: “But in the eyes of the world, his majesty is only temporary, but his majesty favors the minister, so he broke the rules of the high emperor of the great ancestor. According to the view of the minister …… to really let people know your majesty’s heart, your majesty should make a covenant with the vassal kings, the world’s vassals, and the merchant firms, and swear an oath in front of the Xiaoling Mausoleum, as that Han Gaozu swore an oath with the meritorious ministers: those who are not Liu’s but the king of the world will be attacked together. And promulgate a covenant to inform the world who can be a Shih Gong, who can be a Shih Hou, and who can be a Shih Bo, and what powers the feudal kings, Shih Gongs, and Shih Bos can exercise in their cognacs, and what covenants they should obey and what obligations they should assume, so that the world can be persuaded.”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi added: “This is actually like the imperial examinations in general, only a clear specification, can make people rise up, if not, throughout the dynasties, the people died in the government countless, who will take these seriously.”

As Zhu Di listened, his expression gradually became serious, while he fell into deep thought.

Jin Zhong was already speaking boldly.

Who knew that Zhang Anshi was even more daring and actually wanted the emperor to make a pact with him.

Yao Guangxiao said, “Your Majesty, I think that what Zhang Anshi said is quite reasonable.”

Zhu Di hm a sound, but lightly frowned: “reason to reason, just …… this has been contrary to the ancestral system of Emperor Tai Zu Gao, if again in full view, with the covenant, I am afraid that …… the world has something to say. ”

Jin Zhong said: “Taizu High Emperor, and not not allowed, neither not allowed, can also.”

Zhu Di paused, then said, “Qing and other words, also has reason …… both so …… this matter Yao master to organize, I intend to the four seas, even if there is a violation of the legacy of the Imperial Examination, is also no impossibility.”

Zhang Anshi heart since the great joy, his words, can by no means just for their own interests, but since Zhu Di obviously have the conversion of the state policy of the mind, then …… have to be in this coffin board, nail the last nail!

If not …… what about his later generations of unworthy descendants …… such as his brother-in-law, and his unconscious nephew …… who suddenly flipped his face?

When you get in the car, no one wants to get out of the car, the door is welded shut, everyone hugs each other, one road leads to the black, whoever wimps out is a grandson.

Zhu Di then looked to Zhang Anshi said: “The Brocade Guards have been in accordance with the directory, according to the map, to catch a large number of rebellious parties, within the thousand households …… should also be stepped up, in addition to …… the wealth of that Zhang Xingyuan …… I have also ordered people to go to take, but …… within the thousand households, but also to allocate some people to go, not within the thousand households of people staring, I do not rest assured, I am afraid that those people, to be satiated with private money.”

Zhang Anshi said, “I have also anticipated this, so I have already asked Chien-Tu Chen, to select some reliable people who are ready to go at any time.”

Zhu Di rejoiced, “In some days, I will wipe out all these rebellious parties, didn’t you say you want to execute people?”

Zhang Anshi then said: “Yes, I have begun to prepare, I am thinking, this place of execution, it is best to be in the open place, how about the outside of the Noon Gate? This noon gate outside the open, can accommodate a lot of people, the people are usually idle, give them a look at the bustle is also good, or to take advantage of this to deter the curmudgeon.”

Zhu Di’s mood at this time is good, immediately said: “I permit, such a small matter, do not have to report me, will also lose Ha can.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty knows people well ……”

Zhu Di interrupted him, “Further boast, I want to become a spirit! Well, well, that Zhang Xingyuan and others …… should also let them taste my power.”

With that, Yao Guangxiao and the three of them bid farewell to Zhu Di.

Waiting for the three to exit the martial arts building together.

Yao Guangxiao cheerfully looked at Zhang Anshi and said, “Annan Hou ah, you said …… that people can burn cuju as big as the relics to this cuju big relics, can also be burned seven colors?”

Zhang Anshi said bashfully, “Not to mention the color of the air, even if it’s as transparent as a mirror, it can be burned, depending on what style Master Yao likes.”

Yao Guangxiao was greatly shocked, and then he said, “Can you burn someone else first, so the poor monk can see the effect first.”
