That afternoon, Zhu Youxiao and Sun Chengzong talked for a long time. The scope of this talk was very wide, involving all aspects of Liaodong, politics, economy, military, people's livelihood, system, culture, ethnic groups and a series of things. Later generations

His knowledge and the height of this era gave him too many ideas waiting to be put into practice.

In this conversation, Sun Chengzong could only play the role of a disciple. In terms of governance, he found that the emperor's thinking was too broad, so broad that it made him stand tall. This was truly listening to the holy teachings.

"Your Majesty, I will work hard to build the government in Liaodong so that this land can truly be under the management of the government." Sun Chengzong said with excitement.

"Do your best!" Zhu Youxiao said with an approving look. Although Sun Chengzong didn't understand it very well at first, the other party understood it very quickly. He immediately grasped the essence of his idea and took all the governing power into his hands.

, Public utensils are for public use and must not be disposed of privately.

Although the other party's punishment points are a bit biased, thinking that he is too controlling, Zhu Youxiao is not going to correct it. There is not much difference between the results of the two. He can't say it himself, I am not overly controlling.

, but want to build a service-oriented government.

"I will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations." Sun Chengzong looked solemn. Although he believed that the emperor was too controlling to implement such a policy to strengthen the authority of the government and control everything, but he also found a lot of benefits to the people.

It was precisely because of these that from the bottom of his heart, he began to agree with Zhu Youxiaoshengjun's statement.

Sage kings are not words, but actions, especially top intellectuals like Sun Chengzong. They have shrewd minds, rich knowledge, and strong reasoning and analysis skills. They can penetrate many so-called auspiciousness and so-called heaven-given sayings in history.

It's nothing more than the spread of rumors and rumors. Scholars in the Ming Dynasty liked to play this.

But now, from Zhu Youxiao's defeat of the Jurchens in a battle, to his drastic reforms, all these have revealed his extraordinary abilities. As long as His Majesty the Emperor is not impatient and continues step by step, he will definitely become a holy king.

Sun Chengzong was unwavering in this regard. From the conversation this afternoon, he was sure that the other party had this potential.

"An emperor through the ages!" When he came out of the Chinese army's tent, Sun Chengzong was still in a daze. In the entire three to four thousand years of China's history, how many of them could be called saints and become emperors through the ages? Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and then

Adding Tang Taizong, and at most Taizu Taizong of this dynasty, if the two of them can be added up, they can be counted as one. As for the others, there will be no more.

And now, from Zhu Youxiao, he felt this possibility again. A young great emperor was rising. Judging from his various ideas and measures, as long as he could persist in implementing them, this was

A greater emperor than Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han.

Fortunately, he can live in such an era! Thinking about the glory of the future, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but be fascinated. But while he was grateful, he also deeply regretted that he was old.

The next day, with the subsequent arrival of the Liaodong Army, the entire army began to move towards the outside of the pass. Although the Ming army had abandoned the entire Liaodong, due to the rush of time, a large number of people still evacuated into the pass.

, Now that the Jurchens have been defeated, their strength is empty. If the Ming army does not step up their presence, these Liao people may be massacred by other foreign races.

However, among the entire brigade, another army of more than ten thousand people marched in the opposite direction, heading towards the pass. They were going to escort the imperial prisoners in the Hongwan Coup to serve their sentences in Liaodong.

Since the Hongwan coup was very involved and the number of people was too large, it was not easy to massacre. Therefore, except for the chief culprit, Zhu Youxiao planned to exile all of them to Liaodong. They would be stationed in military camps of varying lengths according to the severity of their crimes, and then be released in Liaodong. This became the place where

residents. Such measures have long been decided, but have not been implemented.

Now that Liaodong has been initially decided, it is the time when a large number of people are needed. It seems that Sun Chengzong's governor of Liaodong cannot be removed in the short term. In this way, he will naturally add some luster to his political achievements. This case involves up to 50,000 to 60,000 people.

Population is a boost.

He saw hope in the emperor, and now his heart is extremely hot. He also covets the position of the chief minister of the cabinet. Although there are rumors that the emperor has taken a liking to him, he is very likely to be the next chief minister.

, but isn’t that true? As long as he doesn’t take the top position for a day, there will be variables. For this reason, he will naturally have to do more and increase his capital.

Now, Liaodong is a good place to increase your administrative experience and popularity.

Regarding increasing administrative experience, Zhu Youxiao also has this idea. No matter how talented a person is, he will not be able to achieve much without accumulation. This is what Zhu Youxiao only realized during the conversation yesterday afternoon. Sun Chengzong's presence

In terms of basics, the heat is indeed lacking, after all, it has not been spared.

Originally, the position of Governor of Liaodong was only temporary, but it was implemented intentionally or unintentionally by both parties. Now he will stay in Liaodong for two years, implement his policies, and then train good officials. After he has achieved results here, he will

This can be applied to the entire world.

As for Xiong Tingbi, who was originally in charge of Liaodong, he was ignored by the two of them intentionally or unintentionally. At this time, he was still guilty and prepared to follow the emperor back to the capital. He had no choice but to temporarily aggrieve him. Liaodong Bai

It's a waste to be revived, everything has been decided, there can only be one voice, and he, who has always been prestigious here, has no choice but to leave.

Since there were no enemies this time, even though it was a large group of people, they quickly arrived in Quang Ninh. On the night they just arrived, the navy that had been cruising nearby sent another battle report.

An Bangyan, the great chieftain of Guizhou and Shuixi Xuanwei Si, rebelled and surrounded Guizhou.

Seeing this battle report, although Sun Chengzong and Yu Zigao were very surprised and angry, Zhu Youxiao was still very calm. What about the chaos in She'an? It is normal for the two to get together.

Calmly putting away the battle report, Zhu Youxiao still did not change his mind. After returning to the capital so quickly, he still wanted to stay in Liaodong for a while. In his memory, the She'an Rebellion lasted for a long time, and with the cabinet presiding over it, there would be no chaos.

It won’t be worse than historical Shanghai, so you don’t have to rush back.

Even if he rushes back, that's all he can do. He mobilizes the old army to suppress Pingping, which is almost the same as in history. The Yulin Army only has 30,000 people, and he still has to use it as a seed to build a city defense army and a field army.

, where do you have time to send someone to such a far place?

He did not express these thoughts. He still walked forward calmly, looking at the scenery of Liaodong. The whole trip was like traveling. Of course, it was indeed like this. Zhu Youxiao had never been there before in this life.

Northeast, I want to see it if I have the opportunity this time, I can’t stay bored in the capital.

Of course, this cannot be said in name. Zhu Youxiao euphemistically called it "Guanzheng" because he wanted to see the effect of Sun Chengzong's implementation of his own policies so that he could make adjustments.

Perhaps Sun Chengzong saw his thoughts, and after trying to persuade him once, he said nothing more. Yu Zigao was the only one, leaving the good navy fleet alone, and kept talking about him around him every day, which made him confused.

Scared

Zhu Youxiao's plan was very good. He would stay in Liaodong for a while and see the results, and then he would go. However, before he could lead a large group of troops to Liaoyang, an urgent battle report was once again forwarded from the Navy.

Come.

"A huge number of Japanese pirates invaded the southeast, across the Yangtze River Canal, and the grain supply was cut off."

The clear and unmistakable battle report immediately made Zhu Youxiao stand up. He was very clear about the significance of the grain supply. It supplied food to the capital and the Jiubian area. Its status was very important. It is for this reason.

Zhu Youxiao did not abolish the agricultural tax as soon as he came to power.

He has enough money, but he does not have so much grain in his hands. Once there is no collection and all depends on purchasing, the price of grain will definitely skyrocket, and life and death will be decided by others. He is very clear about the urinary nature of businessmen, and it is beneficial

But under the circumstances, it doesn’t matter whether you are an emperor or not, just make money first.

Even if he could finally suppress it through administrative means, it would still cause a lot of turmoil and the gains would outweigh the losses. Therefore, he suppressed his idea and only implemented it on the white land of Liaodong.

"This is simply forcing me to go back!" Zhu Youxiao looked at the battle report and muttered to himself. If the chieftain rebellion in Sichuan and Guizhou was just a scratch, then the Japanese invaders' invasion of the southeast this time was a blow to the heart.

"But why did Japanese pirates appear at this time?" After reading the battle report, Zhu Youxiao had deep doubts in his heart. He did not remember that there were a large number of Japanese pirates invading in the late Ming Dynasty.

"I can only go back. I can't wait until Liaodong has results." Zhu Youxiao sighed deeply and put down the battle report in his hand.

The next day, according to the emperor's decree, the Yulin army set off and returned to the capital.

This news shocked Sun Chengzong and delighted Yu Zigao, but after meeting the emperor, both of them understood its importance. You must know that almost all of the large amounts of grain supplied to Liaodong every year come from Cao Liang, and now

, Liaodong was initially decided, and all waste was waiting to be revitalized. It was at this time of great consumption that if the supply of food was cut off, no one knew what would happen.

Both of them agreed with Zhu Youxiao's idea of ​​returning to Beijing immediately. However, Zhu Youxiao did not just give up and leave it alone. Before leaving, he issued several imperial edicts.

First, Li Yuyu was appointed as the general of the Yulin Army, with the rank of major general, to take charge of the Yulin Army, and Li Tu was appointed as the hussar general, commanding 3,000 cavalry, and forming a hussar army in Liaodong.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao planned to announce the appointments of Li Yuyu and Li Tu together after they arrived in Shenyang. But now that the situation was urgent, he had no choice but to advance the appointments. Moreover, the appointments of the two were put together to avoid issues of order.

, something happened.

The second imperial edict was about the military and political adjustment of Liaodong. Sun Chengzong was appointed as the governor of Liaodong Province, with the second rank - this has not changed, but Zhu Youxiao specially stipulated the lower rank, which is related to his subsequent official reform - Xiong Tingbi was appointed as the governor of Liaodong Province.

General Luo Guanyi is the city defense general of Liaodong Province with the rank of major general. He is responsible for integrating all the armies in Liaodong and forming the Liaodong City Defense Army.

The latter two were recommended by Sun Chengzong. The construction of the entire Liaodong Province was too complicated and he needed some help. These two people were his top civil and military leaders. Regarding Sun Chengzong's suggestion, Zhu Youxiao only considered it and approved it.

.

The third imperial edict is to declare that the entire land in Liaodong is to be nationalized, including farmland, mines, rivers, etc. Anyone operating and using it needs government approval. At the same time, all taxes such as head tax, labor service, local tax, etc. are cancelled.
