(depressed,,, tomorrow the ban on burning begins.) It's a busy season that doesn't sleep anymore, and in the next period of time, there is no way to keep two shifts, I'm afraid I can only ensure that it keeps changing as much as possible. Thank you for your continued concern and love, I will always work hard. I got a micro, Xingong, public, number, you can add it. Micro, letter, public, public, number: speechless sky)

How is Wannian Mansion different?

Perhaps, only Zheng Xiaru, who is the prefect of Wannian Mansion, knows how this Wannian Mansion is different from the prefectures and counties in the mainland.

It is precisely because of this that when Zheng Xiaru is in Wannian, all kinds of important military and political affairs in Keelung will be continuously sent to him, especially various military affairs, which also involve him, and if he leaves Wannian and inspects the local prisoners, no matter where he stops along the way, he has to approve many documents transferred from the two places. Anything that needs his approval will be handled by him and he will return the approved documents immediately.

Because the nature of Wannian Mansion is different from that of inland prefectures and counties, many things need to be dealt with by him, and even matters of collusion need to be agreed to by him - the biggest difference between Wannian and the mainland is that he holds the power of life and death of the people and exiles in the land of Wannian Mansion, and every time at this time, he will have a sense of joy and excitement for the first time in power, full of heart, and unconsciously intoxicated.

Of course, as the prefect of Wannian, he also has a responsibility, that is, to open up ten thousand years, and on the way to open up ten thousand years, there will always be conflicts with the local natives, even if many natives are obedient, but there are still people who resist, and because of this, large-scale and small-scale military activities are still actively carried out in various places, and after every military operation, he will face a choice, how to deal with those rebellious natives.

Again, when the army sent a letter to him, a thousand prisoners had been captured, and they had all been escorted back.

"Headhunters, there is no mercy for killing!"

First of all, to make such an instruction on the official document, Zheng Xiaru didn't think it was a big deal, the natives in the mountains were very savage, and they took headhunting as fun, and I don't know how many people hunted for them. No, repeating the canon, naturally, can't make them change this habit.

"Cannibals, no mercy!"

Cannibalism is also a heinous crime, and not killing is not enough to anger the people.

"Women over the age of 14 and under the age of 40 are issued to the tun people as maidservants......"

Again, in order to be able to enrich the local population, Zheng Xiaru made the simplest and simplest, through the distribution of maids to enrich the local population, of course, this is not a plain and unprovoked distribution, exiles need to make meritorious contributions if they want to become tunmin, and tunmin also need meritorious service to obtain maids.

On the surface, those maids are maids, but in fact, they often play the role of wives and concubines in the homes of the Tunmin, and pass on the ancestry for the Tunmin, and only in this way can the Tunmin settle here with peace of mind, so that, plus those normal immigrants, ten years later, Wannian will become a large government with a population of hundreds of thousands, and at that time, the Wannian Mansion can be incorporated into the mainland and become an official hall no different from the mainland.

Now, as the first prefect of Wannian, Zheng Xia knows what he should do, and he needs to do everything possible to lay a solid foundation, only in this way can he live up to the name of the first prefect.

"I'm afraid that a hundred years later, with this merit alone, someone Zheng will be famous for thousands of years and be ranked as a virtuous minister!"

After handling the basic affairs, Zheng Xiaru looked a little proud, and in addition to being proud, he also had a rather full mind.

The first achievement in the world is to expand the territory, perhaps for Zheng Xiaru, he does not really have the merit of expanding the territory, but in the future history books, it will be recorded truthfully, how he Zheng Xiaru overcame obstacles here and led the army and the people to build a Wannian Mansion here.

It can be said that whenever she thinks of this, Zheng Xiaru feels extremely proud. Because such a credit is something that can be met but not sought by civil officials, I don't know how many civil officials will never have the opportunity to obtain such credit in their lifetime.

How could he not cherish this coveted opportunity that fell on him?

It is precisely because of this that he will handle these things carefully and boldly, all for the sake of the land under his feet.

"Ten years! As long as there are ten years! I'm afraid it's not as prosperous as it is in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Looking out the window at the paddy fields that stretched as far as the eye could see, thousands of exiles used their lives to pioneer these lands, building fields in this wild land, turning the once wild land into a land of fish and rice.

And all in just two years!

"I don't know, how big is Nanyang? Isn't it possible to become a land of fish and rice like here?"

It is precisely because of the changes and development that Zheng Xiaru believes that if enough manpower is invested, then Nanyang may also become a land of fish and rice.

But he apparently didn't take into account the fact that during the development of the Wannian Mansion, thousands of exiles lost their lives to malaria and other diseases.

It's not that he didn't think about it, but he didn't care at all. For many people, exiles are nothing more than a bunch of numbers. No one cares if they live or die, after all, they are just a bunch of traitors who help and abet the abuse.

Even in his opinion, the death of those people was worth it, after all, their lives were exchanged for this land of fish and rice. It's a kind of atonement!

While sighing like this in her heart, Zheng Xiaru picked up another official letter, which was not so much an official letter as a private letter.

Because this letter was sent by Zhao Pingyue, now he is no longer the master of Wannian Mansion, but an official of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, this official position does not seem to be very prominent, but it can give him the opportunity to contact the emperor, which is the reason why he chose this position in the first place.

It can be said that for Zhao Pingyue's official position. Zheng Xiaru was terrifying, but now it seems that everything is worth it, after all, now he has a certain amount of contact with the emperor.

Now there is only one chance left, a chance for Zhao Pingyue to become the emperor's confidant.

Of course, opportunities can be created.

As long as you are willing to work hard, you can always create some opportunities. For Zhao Pingyue, who was born as a master, he knows how to create those opportunities.

However, there are some things that he can't do if he wants to, at least he needs Zheng Xiaru's approval.

Looking carefully at the letter in his hand, Zheng Xiaru's brows were sometimes tightened, and her eyes became a little hesitant.

"I'm afraid this matter still needs to be decided by Qinghe."

While talking to himself like this, he suddenly thought about why he was here.

"Maybe ......"

The reason why he came here was not precisely to do something that the king wanted to do, but he couldn't do it himself. This is his responsibility, and even if he does, he can't tell the king, after all, many times the king needs to stay out of the matter.

"Hey, this thing is a bit difficult to do! If the king can't understand it......"

But then he thought about it, wasn't that why he was here? If not, why did so many people choose him?

In hesitation, Zheng Xiaru picked up a pen and wrote a word on the letterhead.

"Yes!"

Although it is just a simple word, for Zhao Pingyue, it is equivalent to a license to release.

"Ah, my lord! I, Zhao Pingyue, did all this, but it was all for the sake of your future, the king. ”

In the palace, while waiting for the emperor's summons, Zhao Pingyue secretly said this to himself in his heart.

"Your Majesty!"

Like other ministers, when he saw the emperor again, Zhao Pingyue looked respectful, completely like an honest courtier.

"Something to do!"

After offering the recital, Zhao Pingyue said.

"Your Majesty, since the Northern Expedition of Li Ziyuan, the general soldier of Daming Huguang this year, my Daming official army can be described as unstoppable. Xianke Henan. and Shanxi, Yanping Wang Zheng Chenggong broke Fuzhou, Fujian, Jin King returned to Guangzhou, and the trend of the world changed greatly. But the emperor is not rewarded for his merits, how can he be a Ming Jun? ”

Zhao Pingyue's performance made Zhu Youlang stunned, this is actually a question.

Merit or not?

When did I not reward the heroes?

It can even be said that when did I dare not reward the heroes? After all, for the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing else to reward except for the nominal reward.

But...... Suddenly, Zhu Youlang immediately understood from Zhao Pingyue's words, this Zhao Pingyue was saying that he was unfairly rewarded and punished, and he was clearly telling him euphemistically that as the emperor, he must reward the heroes, and only by rewarding the heroes can those heroes be used by him.

How many of the heroes of the Ming Dynasty have not been rewarded now?

Isn't it Li Ziyuan of the Northern Expedition!

He led the Northern Expedition to recover the Central Plains and Shanxi, how could such a great hero not be rewarded and not rewarded, isn't this exactly what he, the emperor, should do?

After figuring out the links, Zhu Youlang said repeatedly.

"What Zhao Aiqing said is extremely true, I am indeed unfair in rewards and punishments, thinking that Li Ziyuan will recover the Central Plains and recover Shanxi, which can be described as an immediate miracle for my Ming Dynasty, but I will not be rewarded, so unfair, how can I be a king?"

Since Zhao Pingyue handed over the pillow, then for Zhu Youlang, naturally he only needed to take the pillow.

"Yanping's recovery of Fujian is also an immortal achievement for my Ming Dynasty, such an immortal achievement, if it is not rewarded, will it not make the world's corporal feel cold and pass on the decree!"

Standing up, Zhu Youlang said in a deep voice.

"Li Ziyuan, the general soldier of Fenghuguang, is the king of Chu, and Zheng Chenggong is the king of Fujian, and he is resting with the country......"

As the emperor, Zhu Youlang only needs to make a decision, and naturally there is a holy decree written for him by civil officials, with this will, Li Ziyuan jumped from the general soldier to the king, and Zheng Chenggong also became a first-class king.

But when Zhu Youlang issued this will, Zhao Pingyue's heart was secretly sighing, no wonder this Zhu Youlang ended up in today's field.

The reason why he sighed so much is because throughout the ages, all dynasties have been based on Qin, Jin, Chu and other feudal states in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Li Ziyuan as the king of Chu is undoubtedly telling the world that he is only inferior to Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, as for Zheng Chenggong's King Min, he is just a "second-class king" like the king, far less noble than the Jin and Chu domains.

However, this is also Zhao Pingyue's deliberate, when he was enlightened, he secretly put Li Ziyuan's name in the forefront, so he naturally subconsciously told the emperor that Li Ziyuan had great merit, as for Zheng Chenggong, it was just a matter of passing by.

Zhao Pingyue needs to promote Li and suppress Zheng, only in this way can he achieve his goal. And to his surprise, the emperor let him get his wish so easily, and even let him have thought about it in his heart, but he didn't have a chance to say it. But he knew there that the reason why Zhu Youlang was so urgent was because as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youlang, who had been in exile for ten thousand years, had always been eager to return to Beijing and regain power, and now that Zhao Pingyue said this, he almost subconsciously thought of one point - there is not only one Zhu Mingzhong in this world!

There are also Li Ziyuan, Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Huangyan, Li Dingguo, if he can be taken back into use, or provoke them to fight, why worry about not being able to regain power, after all, for these ministers, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and as the emperor, he can make them very noble.

Even Zhu Youlang was grateful to Zhao Pingyue, because his compromises pointed out that the emperor's rewards and punishments were unknown! In other words, if this holy decree of his is not within 10,000 years, then I am afraid that it is not that the rewards and punishments are unknown, but that there are traitors blocking it. At that time, all the resentment in the world will fall on Zhu Mingzhong! What does it have to do with the emperor?

Zhu Youlang, who was in a good mood, looked at Zhao Pingyue, looking at this fourth-grade official from the master's background, and his heart suddenly swelled with a burst of love for talent, and even his gaze changed when he looked at him.

"Zhao Aiqing, if it weren't for Aiqing's reminder, I almost became a faint king, Aiqing is really a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

I'm not, and I can't be a loyal servant of the Ming Dynasty!

Facing the emperor's praise, Zhao Pingyue secretly thought to himself in his heart, but on the surface, he looked grateful.

For Zhao Pingyue, he never thought about being a loyal minister at all, even without Zheng Xiaru's advice, he knew that he came here not to be a loyal minister, but to get close to the emperor.

Is this the work of a loyal servant?

Of course, it was not done by loyal ministers, but it did not prevent him from doing some of the things that loyal ministers did, just like now, who dares to say that he is not for the emperor, but no one knows what he thinks in his heart, I am afraid that only one person in the entire Wannian Mansion knows what purpose is it for Li Ziyuan and others to ask for rewards.

"The decree is given?"

That night, when Zheng Xiaru got the news from Wannian, he just asked softly, and the person who came to report immediately replied.

"Li Ziyuan was named the State of Chu in Wuchang and was the King of Chu, and the King of Yanping was the King of Min......"

"Our emperor......"

When he learned that the two were crowned kings, but Zhang Huangyan was not crowned kings, Zheng Xiaru shook his head and sighed lightly.

"No wonder, this Ming Dynasty is like this, if our emperor is allowed to dominate the country, he can draw the river with the Manchu Qing Dynasty and seek peace for a while, I am afraid it will already be blessed by Emperor Gao......"

After sighing like this, Zheng Xiaru secretly thought to himself, now that Jieziyuan has become the king, what will he do next?
