The matter of going to Shaanxi to catch thieves is very important, but it can't be just left. There are a lot of things that have to be arranged in Daning. Moreover, Hong Chengchou has to go back to Shuntian to explain before he can come to Daning.

Take office.

In addition, the Governor of Shuntian must also make good arrangements. Zhu Youjian is still pushing for the reform of land tax in the eight prefectures of Shuntian. Although this matter is implemented by the prefects below, the higher authorities still have to suppress a relatively powerful Governor of Shuntian.

!

The land tax reform is so offensive that it is possible to use a knife if there is a commotion!

Fortunately, Zhu Youjian still has a few candidates on hand who can calm the situation.

At this moment, he was sitting behind the desk, twitching his eyebrows, looking at his other teacher, Lu Xiangsheng, Dazhongliang who had also been tested by history.

Although Lu Xiangsheng was a civilian official, he had been leading the troops since he was promoted to an official by Zhu Youjian. He first served as the regiment commander, and later assisted in the military affairs of the capital camp with the title of Minister of War. Because Zhu Youjian absolutely trusted Lu Xiangsheng, he did not

The commander-in-chief and the admiral eunuch were dispatched. The entire Xinjing camp was handed over to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng did not disappoint Zhu Youjian. Based on the regiment training brought by Gao Hongtu, Shi Kefa, Lu Daqi and others, he organized 14,000 infantry troops, 6,000 of whom he brought to the Daning front line, and

He also made military exploits.

"Mr. Lu, sit down." Zhu Youjian still addressed Lu Xiangsheng as "sir" respectfully, and pointed to a chair in front of him, asking him to sit down and talk.

Zhu Youjian had many official posts, but the ones he respected the most were Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Xiangsheng was not polite, thanked him, and then sat down grandly.

Zhu Youjian smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, you are a civil servant after all, but I keep asking you to lead troops, and you are almost turning into a warrior."

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, although I am a literary scholar, my martial arts skills are no worse than those of military attachés, so I can be regarded as a martial artist."

Zhu Youjian laughed and said: "Mr. Lu is a versatile man in both civil and military affairs... What's even more rare is that he still has a sense of responsibility. He is actually my loyal minister!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng was shocked.

What does it mean to be considerate? Do you want me to offend people again, no, offend officials?

After working as Zhu Youjian's teacher for more than a year, he finally understood that serving as a subordinate to the little emperor was basically tantamount to offending the powerful bureaucrats!

He has been the assistant manager of Jingying Rongzheng for several months, and he has already been hit by a lot of bullets!

Zhu Youjian looked at the change of expression on Lu Xiangsheng's face and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, I asked Hong Chengchou to come to Daning to be the governor, and the seat of Shuntian governor was vacant. This job is too important. I don't want others to do it."

Don’t worry, only Mr. can do it.”

It turns out that Governor Shuntian was responsible for this trap!

Lu Xiangsheng felt cold sweat break out on his forehead when he thought about Hong Chengchou being criticized for this position.

Zhu Youjian smiled: "Mr. Lu, you don't have to worry... I won't let you go to the post alone. I plan to merge the Xinjing Battalion and the Yumajian Third Battalion, and then organize them into Zhongyong and Zhongwu."

Each of the Zhongyong Army will be given 8,000 soldiers. Among them, the Zhongyong Army will be led by Mr. Xiang, and they will go to Shuntian Mansion to take office together. The 8,000 soldiers and horses of the Zhongwu Army will be given to Hong Chengchou, and he will lead him to Daning to take office."

"Your Majesty," Lu Xiangsheng understood immediately, "are you going to abolish the military power of the Royal Horse Supervisor?"

Zhu Youjian nodded, "I have an army in front of me, why do I need to use the Royal Horse Prison?"

His desire to seize the military power of the Royal Horse Supervisor has little to do with the presence of the Qianqian Army, but because he wants to attack the Imperial Mansion in the hands of the Royal Horse Supervisor!

If the Royal Horse Supervisor still has soldiers, even if there are only 2,000 men, it will be very inconvenient.

"Mr. Lu," Zhu Youjian paused, and then said, "There are currently 2,000 people in the Royal Horse Prison. I will give you 1,000...I will give you another 30,000 taels, and another 30,000 taels in one lump sum."

As a reward, I will pacify and rectify these 1,000 people in one year!"

Money can make all the difference, let alone the head soldiers of the Royal Horse Guards? These people are not eunuchs, and they are probably not planning to enter the industry. They have no share in the interests of the emperor's estate. They just have a sufficient salary.

.

Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou both had their own troops (those given to them by Zhu Youjian), so they did not deduct the military pay of their subordinates and gave them another reward. Are they afraid that they would not be able to win over these 2,000 elite soldiers?

Once the imperial eunuch's military power is gone, Widow Xu can fight with them.

Of course, Zhu Youjian knew very well the truth that "it is easy to catch thieves from the west, but it is difficult to catch thieves at home"! For him, the Ming emperor, the most difficult thing to deal with was not the thieves from the west or the east, but the eunuchs in the palace.

, Confucian thieves in the court, honor thieves in the capital.

This is the real thief!

Among these three confidant thieves, the Confucian thieves are definitely the most difficult to deal with - because the Confucian thieves are the scholar-bureaucrats in the world, and most of them are not in the Gyeonggi area. In other words, Zhu Youjian has eliminated the eunuchs and cured them.

Before the Xun thieves, it was impossible to deal with the Confucian thieves.

Emperor Tianqi wanted to deal with the Confucian thieves first without punishing the eunuchs and honor thieves... but he died young!

Zhu Youjian knows that his body can support a 90-year-old life, so of course he does not want to die early!

And since he died early, nothing could be done.

...

"Zhu Yousong, the eldest son of Prince Fu, respectfully wishes you long live the Lord's peace..."

A fat prince in his twenties lay down in front of Zhu Youjian again. This prince was Zhu Yousong, the eldest son of King Fu Zhu Changxun. Zhu Changxun took most of his family to Jiangnan to Nanjing at the beginning of the second year of Chongzhen.

Only the eldest son, Zhu Changxun, was left to pack up his belongings in Luoyang and handle the settlement with Zhu Youjian.

The property that can be sent to Nanjing for flower use has been loaded on ships and trucks and sent south. The property that cannot be sent, such as palaces, farms, shops, and the internal funds and silver given by Emperor Wanli have also been listed.

I made the list and waited to hand it over to Zhu Youjian.

Of course, Zhu Yousong didn’t know who to give it to specifically.

"Prince Fu, please sit down," Zhu Youjian smiled and asked Zhu Yousong to take a seat, and then pointed at Widow Xu who was standing beside him, "She is Xu Ruolan, my inner accountant."

Inner accounting room?

Zhu Yousong was stunned. He didn't remember that there was this room in the Daming Palace!

Zhu Youjian smiled and said: "It is the inner accounting room that manages the small accounts in the palace. I plan to let the inner accounting room take over the land and shops of Prince Fu's Mansion. The internal money and money given to your family by the temple grandfather will also be given to the inner accounting room."

Accountant...you don’t have any objections, do you?”

Zhu Youjian could not take away all the interests of the Royal Horse Prison in one step. First, he was afraid of the backlash; second, he was worried that Widow Xu would not be able to eat from Huangzhuang's plate.

So he first increased the amount and asked Widow Xu to take over the wealth handed over by Prince Fu's Mansion. If she could manage it well, then there would be no problem in letting her take over the big money from Huangzhuang.

"No, no..." How could Zhu Yousong dare to say that there was? Besides, what does this matter have to do with him? Prince Fu's Mansion was unlucky, as all the good family property was lost in one fell swoop!

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Yousong's expression of reluctance, smiled and comforted: "Without wealth, people will be happy... Grandpa gave your family too much money, which hurt the country's financial capital, and Luoyang is not What a good place. There is so much chaos in Shaanxi now. If it cannot be suppressed, it will spread to Henan sooner or later. Now that I have taken your money, I have to go to Shaanxi to fill the holes. Without this money, the holes in Shaanxi will get bigger and bigger sooner or later. When Luoyang is captured by thieves, the gold and silver mountains will be useless."

"Long live my Lord, I, I have no reluctance to give up, I really don't..."

Zhu Yousong shook his head repeatedly, but Zhu Youjian only felt that King Fu's family was harmed by money. If he hadn't taken so much back then, and the court wouldn't have been so strapped, maybe he could have trained more troops and fished King Fu's family out of Luoyang City. come out.

"Then give me the number," Zhu Youjian said, "I have a good idea... If I can use your money to calm down the chaos in Shaanxi, then everything will be fine."
