Especially the big toast, they have no worries about food and clothing, and it is almost impossible for them to do a big career - the famous and Sha Dingzhou "do great things" like the toast is a role model - so their lifelong dream is to be able to obtain a more respected identity, if they can be like the Duke of Qianguo, it is really the ancestral tomb smoke.

However, the Ming Dynasty was quite stingy in this regard in the past, and the toast can be regarded as the top of the sky if he can achieve the four-grade prefect.

But Zhu Linmiao knew very well that no matter how high the official rank was, it was just a name, and these toasts were the first rank of the people, and their control was still his original one-third of an acre.

It's just a fictitious title, why not take it out for a win-win situation, and those who have been awarded a high position will gradually move away from the identity of "local officials", and finally become honorable relatives.

He continued: "In the future, no matter whether it is a local official or a rogue official, anyone who has made contributions to the country, such as the doctor of virtue and Guanglu, and even the uncle, marquis, and prince of the country, it is all necessary! ”

In an instant, almost all the ears of Tusi were filled with the words "Fengguo Gong", and their hearts were all the same thoughts, the ancestors blessed, if one day they can be ranked with the Duke of Qianguo, they are willing to die immediately!

You must know that the official ranks, titles, etc. of the Tusi can be hereditary, and they not only fight for their own identity, but also make the entire family era respected.

Zhu Linmiao also signaled his soldiers to distribute some booklets to the toasts, and said: "This indicates the reward corresponding to military merits, which can be accumulated, as long as the merit is enough, it will be cashed out immediately." ”

When even if there were a few powerful Tusi planning in their hearts, they would lead the troops to assist Lin'an when they went back, and then went to Ge Long to take Sha Dingzhou to cook. It is clearly written in that booklet: a little battle merit for breaking the city, and eight points of war merit for the rebel chieftain...... And ten points of merit can be crowned.

Zhu Linmiao saw that the atmosphere at the scene was good, and hit the railway while it was hot: "In addition, the imperial court will set up the Yunnan Military Region, and send about 20,000 'garrisons', with the Duke of Qianguo as the commander for the time being."

"In the future, it will be strictly forbidden to fight privately between the Tusi, and any grievances and entanglements will have to be resolved by resorting to the Duke of Qianguo in Kunming. Those who violate the order and move troops and horses without permission will be sent to the garrison of the military region to suppress them! ”

It is an existing rule to prohibit the toasts from fighting each other, but the Ming court has never seriously dealt with violators, so those big toasts have no special ideas about this, just a cliché of the court.

And those little toasts who have been bullied all day have moved their minds when they hear this, which can clearly say that they will send troops to fight, that is, one in ten executions, and it is also a great warning to those overbearing toasts.

Immediately, sixty or seventy Tusi knelt on the ground and shouted, "Remember, the lower officials will never dare to disobey!" ”

The rest of the big toasts looked at each other, and had to kneel down and say the same thing again.

Zhu Linmiao nodded and said, "You have all witnessed it with your own eyes today, if anyone violates the ban in the coming day, don't blame the court for being polite." ”

The biggest reliance in the hands of the Tusi is the army, if they can be forbidden to bully the Tusi next to them, then the soldiers and horses in their hands can only be sent to contribute to the court, otherwise they will gradually become a burden.

In the long run, the warlord nature of the toast will gradually weaken, and eventually pave the way for a change of land.

Of course, this process will not be smooth sailing, there will be a few early birds who have been cleaned up by the garrison of the Yunnan Military Region, and the toasts who have made great achievements in the war will be rewarded, and the toasts will gradually understand where to go.

As for the combat strength of the official army, Zhu Linmiao was not worried, and when the reform of the military system in Yunnan was completed, it would definitely not be a problem for a large number of garrisons equipped with heavy bird guns and cannons to pack up a handful of toast.

And he has one last move, and it is also the most effective one for weakening the toast.

"Oh, one more thing." He continued, "The imperial court knows that Yunnan is located in a remote area and is frequently plagued by military disasters, so you must have a hard time. ”

Seeing that he said this, Najie immediately echoed in a loud voice, "His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King is aware that it is indeed extremely difficult......

Zhu Linmiao interrupted him and said, "Therefore, the imperial court has decided to give special grace to Yunnan Province. However, in order to avoid unfair distribution, you still need to come up with something, and the households all buy each other at a high price. More for more, less for less. ”

When all the Tusi heard this, they were all interested, and they said that the reward was just that we sold things to pay for the court, but the next words of the auxiliary king shocked them.

"Let's just talk about going back to the Yang inspection." Zhu Linmiao pointed to a black and thin toast, "You have fir trees all over the mountains, but you can't feed on them." In the future, the imperial court will buy you fir trees at a price of 2 to 30 taels each, at least 100 per month. ”

Yang Baozhi was so shocked that his eyes widened, there were many fir trees in his jurisdiction, and he sent some local people to cut them at will, a hundred per month, and nearly a thousand taels of silver!

But he immediately thought of a question, and arched his hand to Zhu Linmiao: "Your Highness, it's not difficult to take the fir wood, but where do you want to transport it?" ”

"You only need to transport it to the front of the back kick pass, and the back of the self-owned household department will dispose of it."

Yang Bao is overjoyed, this is simply the same as giving away silver for nothing! He immediately knelt down and thanked: "The lower officials are grateful to the court for their compassion!" ”

Zhu Linmiao asked him to get up, picked up another piece of paper and read: "Chuxiong Li is in charge, Xinxing Wangzhou is judged, and Jiang Qianhu is in Youdian...... and others, you can also cut down fir trees, nan wood, elm, purchased by the household department, and the price of each root is ......

"Alin Zhai Mang Inspection, Ban Honghu Chief, Lancang Li Du Division...... and others, coal and iron can be mined and sold to households, and the price of 100 catties is ......

"Yizuo County, Shazhi County, Pingyi County, Haixian Cheng, Baishuiguan Li Inspection...... and others, pigs and sheep can be fed and sold to households, and the price of each is ......

"Lancang County Li Shoubei...... and others, which can be fed to horses......"

After he finished reading the lengthy list, the eyes of almost all the toasts present lit up - after all, there were still a few big toasts who were rich enough to rival the country, and most of them could hardly earn about 1,000 taels a month.

And as long as the imperial court transports the originally extremely worthless things in their jurisdiction to the vicinity of the post road, they can sit and collect the money, how can they not be excited?

"In addition," Zhu Linmiao didn't plan to let go of these little hearts of toast, and said, "In the future, the grain in Yunnan can also be purchased from the household, and the household department will transport it to your delivery location, and the price will be thirty percent lower than the market price. ”

There was another commotion among the toasts. Nowadays, it is still an agrarian society, food is everything, as long as there is food, their children and grandchildren can be stable, their official positions are not afraid of changes, and the price is so cheap.

Zhu Linmiao smiled and looked at the excited appearance of the toasts, knowing that they should be preparing to "board the thief ship". These toasts all looked at the immediate benefits, but they didn't see the traps at all.

Although they make a profit by selling raw materials to households and buying low-priced grain, in the long run, their own grain production will be wasted. In other words, they handed over their food security to the imperial court, and eventually became a supplier of raw materials.
