Yan Kesong was confused at first, then was stunned, then opened his mouth wide.

"You said Mr. Li was going to retire?"

Yan Chengjin was surprised by his father's reaction for a moment. His father's habit of hugging his thighs seemed to have to be changed. He originally had two thighs, but now only one thigh is left. No wonder his father's reaction was like this.

"Yes, Mr. Li begging in front of the palace, and all officials fought against each other, and he was blamed on Mr. Li. Why was his father so shocked? Is he close friends with Mr. Li?"

Yan Ke murmured to himself in his mouth, but said nothing more.

The sedan chair stopped in front of the horse-distance stele. Yan Chengjin quickly walked into the palace while thinking about how to turn Li Dongyang into the secondary assistant. He served as the chief assistant, but the ministers were dissatisfied.

Now the only ones who like him are Wang Qiong, Han Wen and Zhang Cai.

If Li Dongyang assists, the storm can be stabilized.

"Mr. Li, the prosperity has not yet come to an end, so you must not retire. Now there are important matters to discuss. Let's put aside such trivial matters such as retirement." Yan Chengjin said.

"..." Li Dongyang.

All officials didn't look at Li Dongyang, as if they were waiting for the important things Yan Chengjin said.

Yan Chengjin looked silent, "This is a memorial sent back by Yang Yiqing."

"Master Yang asked for an order to resettle the territory of the island country?"

"good."

All officials' eyes were shiny, and Emperor Gao warned his descendants of fifteen countries that would not be conquered.

But no silver mine was found.

Now that the island country has discovered silver mines, this is indeed a rare fertile land. There is silver everywhere, and the force of labor is free to collect. The biggest advantage is that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away...

It is simply a better place to go than Jiangnan.

At this time, Yan Chengjin handed over the "report of the vassal kings to establish the country's border strategy" and said, "I think that the vassal kings should be enfeoffed to the island country and do not waste the fertile land."

If it weren't for rectifying the system of vassal kings, Wang Qiong would have thought that Yan Chengjin and which vassal king were friends with Guan and Bao.

Give it to the vassal king? Is this what a wise minister should say?

"I think it is better to use it as a royal farm or an official land, and the price is higher!"

"Not bad, it can also increase the Treasury reserves."

The officials looked up at the hall with their heads raised. Maybe Zhu Houzhao nodded in agreement when his mind was broken.

Li Dongyang stood in a daze in the hall and observed carefully, but at this time, no one in the hall cared for him to refuse to retire, just like a woman in a brothel was ruthlessly abandoned, and her heart felt ache.

Some complained about Yan Chengjin's disruption.

Amid the noise, Yan Chengjin turned his head to look at Li Dongyang, and then said with a blank expression: "It's understandable that Mr. Li doesn't want the chief assistant, so be the second assistant?"

Li Dongyang felt angry and wanted to scold this boy: "It's not enough to make plans, why not take care of yourself by urinating!"

However, when the words came to his mouth, he felt that he was inappropriate and could not scold him.

"There is still silver mine in the island country, how can it be handed over to the vassal king?"

Li Dongyang's voice was not loud, but it made the hall gradually quieter, becoming solemn and solemn, as if he was dominating the bodies of all officials, making them gradually quieter.

Xie Qian added: "What Mr. Li said is good, so it is better to be an imperial village."

There are large ships going out to sea, and it takes only three months to travel.

It is closer than going to the three sides, so you can be brave enough to serve as the imperial village.

"Have Mr. Xie ever thought about what will happen after the silver mine is dug?" Yan Chengjin asked back.

"Dig?"

"Yes, there will always be a day when the ore veins are dug. If the silver mine is dug, it will become a useless place. It is better to give it to the vassal kings now."

Yan Chengjin knew that all the officials must have thought that the island country still had undiscovered silver mines.

But there are only three large silver mines in the island country.

Zhu Houzhao thought for a long time and said, "Old Gao, do you really want to be divided into vassal kings? But vassal kings will not call me a fool behind their backs?"

The island country produces a lot of silver and gives it to the vassal king for free, and his father also calls him a spoiler.

It’s not Lao Gao who is scolding him, so this guy naturally doesn’t care.

"I don't know either." Yan Chengjin replied calmly: "But there will be more and more people in the court, and sooner or later the system of vassal kings will become a chronic disease, right?"

Zhu Houzhao was not stupid either. He did not hesitate to issue an imperial edict. He was not worried about it.

The ministers secretly scolded Liu Yanchengjin for destroying the treasury.

"It is better to sell it to merchants than to give it to a vassal king, and you can earn a chunk of silver," Liang, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, said lightly.

"I wonder what to do if Lord Liang beat the Censor?"

"Lao Gao, I almost forgot."

“………” Liang Cai.

All the officials seemed to have been warned and were afraid to speak.

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and fined Liang Cai 10,000 taels of silver, and the other officials fined 2,000 taels of money. Lu Heng, who was copying the bricks, retired.

After this sentence, I made more than 30,000 taels of silver.

Liang Cai had no complaints. It was already a blessing to buy a third-rank official with 10,000 taels.

The officials didn't say much. In the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations, it was allowed to use silver to buy crimes, and Liang Cai was not a serious crime.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say, "Who do you want to grant it to?"

"I think that no matter how the new emperor rewards, there will be uneven points. It is better to let the vassal kings enter the capital to draw lots?" Yan Chengjin said.

If the descendants are blamed in the future, they will only blame their ancestors for their bad luck, which is the fate of the No Chief.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Dongyang and asked the cabinet to issue an order to order all vassal kings to go to Beijing to draw lots.

………

In November, the autumn wind is bleak.

Nanchang, Xingwang Mansion.

Zhu Youzhi saw that he received an order from the capital, which was a jade scroll imperial edict and a letter, both of which were stamped with the seal of the jade seal.

Very formal!

"Is the court going to move the vassal king again? After the new emperor ascended the throne, the life we ​​waited for became increasingly difficult."

His hands trembled and opened the imperial edict.

In the imperial edict, he was ordered to enter the capital to draw lots and draw fiefs, and moved out of Nanchang within three months after the fief was drawn, and a map of the new fiefs was attached.

Zhu Youxi did not want to move and was assigned to Nanchang, a fertile land in the center of Jiangnan.

He made 160,000 taels of silver in just a few years of business.

But how could he resist the emperor's will? He immediately called the princess.

The princess' eyes shone: "Prince, it's not a good thing. If we flourish, we will end up like King Ning sooner or later. It's better to be enfeoffed to the island country. There is a saying that "Tian Gao..."

I heard that the island country can transport hundreds of silver mines back every year!”

At the moment, the emperor cannot escape the supervision of the Censorate and the yamen.

Zhu Youxi's unhappiness suddenly became enlightened.

I am afraid that no matter how much money I earn in Jiangnan and control greater power, it will sooner or later attract the fear of the court, otherwise the court will not reduce the vassal states.

The current imperial edict gives him the opportunity to go overseas.

Princess Xing looked at the map carefully, "The new fiefdom is the best of the island country, and the prince must draw the island country!"

"How can this be said accurately?"

"Today, the prince will go to Youmin Temple to burn incense and ask for a fortune talisman, and ask the Taoist priest to come to the mansion to do a vegetarian ceremony and wash his hands with golden basin. I don't believe that I won't win!" Princess Xing was obviously very experienced.

Zhu Youwei was stunned. Perhaps the ancestral tomb of the old Zhu family was well placed and married a wife...

They are all more capable.

As time went by, dozens of vassal kings, including King Rong, King Shen, King Shou, etc., also received the order. The vassal kings who were enfeoffed in a neglected place worshipped Buddha and sought Taoism, only seeking to capture Zhongdao Kingdom.
