Chapter 417: Factory Guard
Emperor Wanli, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time and finally entered the Qinghua Garden, gradually felt that his empire had entered an eventful autumn.
In the autumn of the eighth year of Wanli, the imperial court was still arguing about the withdrawal of troops and the entrenchment of Daning City, and the emperor took it upon himself to command Liang Menglong, who was in charge of food and wages, to supply winter clothes for the Qi family army in Daning City.
The national income statistics, which the Emperor had been obsessed with, were still inconclusive, but more accurate figures on the population and acres were increasing day by day, and last month the number of acres in his empire had just reached seven million hectares, and this month it had become seven million hectares and thirteen thousand nine hundred and seventy-six hectares.
Last month, the number of people under his rule was 74 million, and this month it has become 75.24 million.
The census, which was opposed by most court officials, was a great success and gave the Wanli Emperor a better idea of the number of people living under the heavens.
But the emperor was not satisfied with such a number, and he wanted to let the empire have more fields, so he was busy ticking and drawing circles in the Tsinghua Garden against the number of acres of land in the clan...... Whoever is ticked will be loaded onto the ship at the beginning of spring next year and sent to the Somuro University of the Great Toyo.
In Wanli's eyes, the Asia presided over by Chen Mu is the paper basket of the Ming Empire, the re-education of the re-education, and the demarcation of the land and the feud of the country.
"Don't want to go? If you don't want to go, you cut your title, and change to a concubine, it's all the plan of the imperial court, what do you care? The emperor glanced at the ignorant King Lu, shook his head at Xu Jue, who was standing aside, and said, "But whoever draws a circle is what I think can be cut; Tick, I don't know if I can cut it, Xu Dudu, you have to help me with the staff. ”
Xu Jue was called to this Tsinghua Garden, and he was one with two big heads.
First of all, he didn't know how the first garden in the world was tossed like this by the emperor's group of imperial pro-army.
Riding on the steam boat in front of the lake in front of Tsinghua Garden with the emperor, feeling the vibration of the steam engine coming from the deck under his feet, and the chimney behind him snorted from time to time.
In the past, he was also an old guest of this Tsinghua Garden, and this garden was still Wu Qingbo Li Wei's, which was really a good scenery all year round, and now the sea of flowers is gone, and the sea of strange stones is gone, but now there are only 20 miles of willow embankment left.
No matter where he looks, he feels like he's dressed up like a battlefield.
Secondly, he didn't understand why the emperor was in love with cutting the feudal domain because of the war outside the northern frontier.
However, the young emperor seemed to have a heart in mind with him, and before he could ask a question, he said: "In the past, I didn't think about the fields, but now the data reported from all over the world is summed up, and once I have a good deal, my people only have an average of nine acres of land. ”
"Their income has not yet been calculated, but I think it will not be too high, since ancient times we say that the wealth is hidden in the people, and used for the people, but also said that the people are noble, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light; But I don't want to be light. ”
The righteous words of the emperor were listened to by Xu Jue...... Your Majesty, if you don't want to be light, we won't be light, why do you say this?
"If I want to be light, I have to make the society heavier and the people heavier, so that I will sink." The emperor thought that his logic was impeccable, and he raised his hand and said: "There are four kinds of fields, Wangzhuang, Huangzhuang, Juntun, and Mintian." ”
"Wang Zhuang is the least important, so let's start with it first, and everything that can be cleared will be cleared." The emperor looked at Xu Jue, who was standing in front of him with two hands that he had been trying to support his stomach but didn't dare, until he saw that Xu Jue's heart was hairy, so he frowned and asked, "Xu Dudu, are you a good person?" ”
Xu Jue swallowed her saliva, this question was difficult to answer, and finally she thought about it and replied cautiously: "Your Majesty wants to let the minister be a good person, and the minister is a good person; Your Majesty wants to let the minister be a bad person, and the minister is a bad person. ”
Emperor Wanli, who was sitting on the steps of the bow tower and holding an orange cat in his arms, fixed the black gauze gold crown on his head, pouted and chuckled when he heard the answer, and said, "You are not a good person, this matter is easy to do." ”
"Take advantage of this effort, first expand the Jinyi Guard, and there are at most 40,000 Jinyi cavalry left in the country, which is far from enough."
Forty thousand is not enough?
Xu Jue scratched his head when he heard the light and said: "Your Majesty wants to expand the brocade clothes, it is easy to say, if the brocade clothes are lacking in anything, there will be no shortage of officers." ”
From generation to generation, most of the Jinyi guards are officials, and there are countless people who can't wait for the actual teaching to do the work of the Han generals, and they just have the actual teaching when they are expanded, he Xu Jue wants to have this ability, how powerful is that?
In fact, there are more than 40,000 Jinyiwei, but in recent years, they have been sent to the Nanyang countries and the Strait of Malacca, Goa, the garrison of the Western Military Government, Changsheng of the Oriental Military Government, as well as North Korea and Japan in the Beiyang, resulting in more than 40,000 Jinyi Guards in the country today, and only more than 20,000 Jinyiwei in China.
"I don't know how much Your Majesty wants to expand?"
The emperor's hand paused with the cat's hand, raised his head and said a number lightly, "Forty thousand." ”
"Leave it to you to recruit soldiers, preferably poor members of the clan, and it is okay if they have committed theft or begging because of poverty; If the offender commits robbery, wounding someone and fleeing for his life, he may be hired as appropriate; If a serious crime such as homicide has been committed, a separate copy will be recorded. ”
"After they were organized into brocade clothes, they were trained, dispersed to various places, and secretly inspected and inspected, one was a corrupt official, the second was a traitor, the third was a clan violator, the fourth was a corruption in the Huangzhuang, the fifth was an encroachment on military land, the sixth was an occupation of civilian land, and the seventh was a corruption in the Huangzhuang."
Xu Jue's breathing was heavy, in his opinion, this was tantamount to the emperor wanting to restore the Jinyi Guard's charge to supervise the world, in his generation when he was the governor of Jinyi.
The emperor slowly hooked the corners of his mouth, looked at Xu Jue and said quietly: "Governor Xu, you remember, what Jinyi Wei supervises is not the world, let alone the people, but civil and military officials, royal family relatives...... I will also let you be in charge of you, and if you let me know that your people are persecuting the people, you can guess what the consequences are. ”
"Don't make a noise for now, the Jinyi Guard will recruit, train, supervise, report, and punish, and all formulate a charter, and send it to me when it's ready."
After saying that, the emperor waved his hand: "You can retire." ”
As soon as his words fell, Xu Jue was still looking around and confused, their current location was in the middle of the lake, where did he retreat?
I heard a pop behind me, the emperor's confidant little eunuch Wang An was untying the rope there, the small oars boat on the bird boat had been placed on the lake, and the little eunuch waved the dust: "Xu Dudu, please?" ”
Xu Jue had just retired, and he had no choice but to climb the cable and get off the boat, Wang An held the side of the boat and whispered to him with a smile: "By the way, Xu Dudu, grandpa said, it's time to let Jinyi practice the art of playing the court staff, no one is afraid of the court staff." ”
After getting off the big bird boat, the eunuch rowed a small boat and took Xu Jue to the willow embankment, and Xu Jue, who was sitting on the boat, only felt that he was sweating behind him, and the wind was blowing very cold.
The emperor personally held the military power, even if it was only the military power of a few guards, and when he spoke, he had a power of his own, which made people fearful.
What scared him even more was that at this moment, he didn't know what the emperor wanted to do.
On the bird boat after he left, the emperor got up and looked at the broad back of the small oars boat that was gradually moving away, and did not look back, but he knew that Wang An was behind him: "Hundreds of officials govern the place, Jinyi inspectors and hundreds of officials, you have to plan the department of supervising Jinyi, I look at the West Factory is good, you don't make a noise, first select people from the Jinyi Guard and the eunuchs in the palace." ”
