Chapter 58: The harvest

During the first month of the 20th year of Zhengtong, Xu Youzhen was busy.

There are about hundreds of thousands of nobles in more than 600 families, as well as their families, servants, slaves, and even in-laws.

All kinds of land were found, hundreds of thousands of hectares, and it can be said that nearly half of North Korea's land has become official fields affiliated to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, all this will not go very smoothly.

After all, if you force people to a desperate situation like this, you will naturally encounter resistance. The rabbit will even bite people when it is anxious, let alone the two famous nobles.

However, Cao Yi was ready long ago.

As soon as these two squads of nobles from all over the country move, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty will arrive immediately.

The winter in North Korea is very cold.

This cold is not good for the marching of the Ming army, but it is even more unfavorable for the two squads of nobles. They first have to face the bad weather.

In this era, the people of North Korea lived a worse life than the people of Ming Dynasty.

Without winter clothes, let them fight against the Ming elites. It goes without saying what the result is

Even if they want to escape to the mountains, they won't be able to do so.

In winter, when everything is lonely and without food preparation, you will only freeze and starve in the mountains. It is impossible to occupy the mountain as king. After all, in winter, even bandits cannot survive in the mountains. They must go down the mountain to grab the food.

Their only way is to guard a certain city.

This is exactly what Xu Youzhen thought.

After all, the Ming Dynasty had 70,000 to 80,000 troops, which were still fewer than the North Koreans.

Since they did not wander around, they would let them go in advance and sent North Korean surrendered troops to attack.

From the first lunar month to mid-February, when spring is in full bloom, the situation in North Korea has settled again.

In addition to using force, Xu Youzhen also made a lot of preparations, such as opening a county examination, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he has a clean life experience and has not committed any offenses, he can go all the way to get closer to the Ming Dynasty imperial examination system.

There is also a remeasurement of the land and the large amount of confiscated land was distributed to the people.

etc.

As for the abolition of Korean characters, compared to it, it is a matter of smallness that cannot be even smaller.

After all, Korean characters were implemented during the Sejong period, but now they have only been a few decades. For the upper class of North Korea, they have always been proud of speaking Chinese and writing Chinese characters.

This also greatly reduced the cost of the Ming Dynasty's rule over North Korea.

Judging from the results, Xu Youzhen completely fulfilled his promise to Zhu Qizhen that he had obtained five million taels of silver, as well as a large amount of land, and even antique jewelry that could not be cashed in.

As for Xu Youzhen himself, he had already fought with the troops from the Eastern Expedition.

Even this fall, North Korea will be able to pay the first batch of autumn tributes to Beijing. Although there are still many unstable factors, it is roughly clear.

And this is also the biggest contributor in one thing, Jin Chengliu.

Nothing else, although Kim Seung-ri is the son of Jin Zongrui, his identity is also able to contact the internal circles of North Korea. He was the lead and found many concubines from big families to join the Jinyiwei. During this time, Xu Youzhen made a plan, but when it was actually implemented, he led the party with Kim Seung-ri as the leader.

Xu Youzhen naturally wanted to reward you on merits, so she called Jin Chengliu to her side and said, "This time you are the chief minister. I am already planning to invite you to reward you from Your Majesty, but there are some things I still have to ask you."

"The Jinyiwei Qianhu, I just gave you the identity I gave you temporarily. If you want to join the Jinyiwei, then you will be the real Jinyiwei Qianhu in the future."

"If you don't want to, I will recommend you two civil and military channels, transfer to the mainland to serve as civil and military positions, and go to Haixi to serve as military positions. As for the specific dispatch, I don't know, but I will definitely not treat you badly. You should also think about it."

The chief officials of the Jinyiwei in various provinces and foreign countries are only thousands of households.

If Jin Chengliu can firmly sit in a thousand households, he will have a great future. As for the journey of civil and military affairs, each has its own advantages. For a moment, Jin Chengliu could not explain which choice would be better.

Jin Chengliu said carefully: "The villain doesn't know which choice is better, so please give me some advice."

When Xu Youzhen heard this, the corner of her mouth curled gently. Xu Youzhen didn't want to be a local official all the time. He wanted to return to the capital and sit in the cabinet. Naturally, he had to pay attention to cultivating his wings. Jin Chengliu was one of them.

There is nothing else, Jin Chengliu is the representative of the Koreans who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

And to be honest, all Koreans have admitted that Lee Jang is the King of Joseon, which is a stain, but Kim Seung-riu does not.

In the future, in order to appease the Korean people, the court will definitely introduce a typical Korean. Many chances are Kim Seung-riu.

As long as this person is held in his hands, the North Koreans will be Xu Youzhen's territory.

Xu Youzhen said, "I don't recommend you to go to the Jinyiwei. Too many people in the Jinyiwei are indifferent. If you join the Jinyiwei, you will probably be a Jinyiwei thousands of households for your whole life. As for full-time civil servants, you may be able to serve as a prefect of a place, but you are not from a Jinshi. Even if you have good literary talent, you will be difficult to get promoted in the future. Only on the road of military generals, there are no restrictions. After all, the Ming Dynasty has all the Koreans, Mongolians, Annans, Hui Hui, Semu, and Japanese in the army. Now it is a place to use martial arts. As long as you have the ability, it will not be a problem to be named a marquis in the future. More than 100,000 Korean surrendered troops will be included in the Haixi, and I think it is necessary for the Ming Dynasty officers."

"You may not be able to become a senior general of the Ming Dynasty immediately because of this. There is a rare opportunity."

Jin Chengliu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for your advice."

Xu Youzhen said, "Okay, since you have chosen the Wutu, I will arrange for you. This time, you can escort these people to Haixi, so you can go too. It will be about when the snow water melts in March and April. You can get ready."

Jin Seung-riu said, "I will understand it."

Jin Chengliu slowly retreated.

Xu Youzhen wrote down everything that happened in North Korea in the memorial and sent it to the capital.

After seeing Xu Youzhen’s memorial in the capital, Zhu Qizhen was overjoyed and said to himself: “Xu Youzhen is indeed a quick knife.”

It is true that many of the things Xu Youzhen does are not too authentic, but politics naturally has a dirty side, just like the two nobles in North Korea, the great nobles among the nobles, who will not be satisfied no matter how the court appeases them.

Even if they maintain their original treatment, it would not work.

Since you can't satisfy it, you don't need to be satisfied.

Although there are some moral shortcomings, this is a political necessity.

"Xu Youzhen should stay in North Korea for a few years. After a few years, I will leave a place for him in the Sixth Ministry." Zhu Qizhen said in his heart.

After all, North Korea has decided that Zhu Qizhen will not easily change candidates at this time.

Only after a few years did Zhu Qizhen transfer Xu Youzhen back to the central government after the influence of the Lee family in North Korea.

The Zhu family's Korean country will still exist for a few years. When Zhu Qizhen feels that this is not needed.

Zhu Qizhen thought about it and reviewed the memorial, "All North Korean supplies do not need to be handed over to the capital, just deliver them directly to Haixi." Zhu Qizhen looked at the weather outside. It was already spring, but he was still in a feeling of adding clothes to make them feel hot and feeling cold when taking off clothes.

Thinking about this situation, Haixi cannot start construction. It will probably take around March to truly start building castles in various parts of Haixi.

With North Korea's manpower and material resources, it can save a lot of financial resources of the court.

Zhu Qizhen thought of the situation in the imperial court this spring and sighed for a moment.

Spring drought comes as promised.

Fortunately, the water conservancy in the north is okay. Hebei has not been affected much.

For Zhu Qizhen, Hebei's water conservancy was the basis for maintaining the stability of the Ming Dynasty.

Without Hebei's food and supplies, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but fight while saving disasters. After all, Beijing is in a state of famine, how can we expect the front line to win the battle?

Zhu Qizhen waived millions of straits last year's taxes in a row just to help the local area breathe a sigh of relief. However, this year is much better than the snow and droughts at the beginning of last year.

But if we fight another battle with Wats this year, Zhu Qizhen will still be tight.

When he thought of the money and food, Zhu Qizhen asked Fan Hong and said, "Is there any news in the northwest?"
