Wei Zhongxian was actually ready to go to Xiaoling to retire or sit on the bench in the capital. After all, during the Chenghua period, the Western Factory, which was overwhelming in the East Factory and the Jinyiwei, was turned into a simple supervisory agency by Emperor Chongzhen, and his power was basically not much...

But today, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly came like this, but Wei Zhongxian felt that he might be thinking too much.

If the emperor really planned to refrigerate himself or kill him, as long as he hints at the Jinyiwei or the factory inside the East Factory, his head would definitely not be able to be kept. Now he still wants to keep himself at the relief matters in Shaanxi for the emperor. Isn’t this a great trust and favor?

As for offending officials in Shaanxi or something? Isn’t this fucking funny?

Since the time when I was the First Emperor, I have been the castrated thief in the mouths of scholars and officials, and the eunuchs who died, nine thousand years old. What is the point of offending an official? As long as the emperor is satisfied, even if he has stripped all the officials of Shaanxi, I will not blink!

With this kind of tragic scholar who died for his confidant, or if the king treated me with the king, I would like to repay the king with the king. Wei Zhongxian could be regarded as a sacrifice. The entire Shaanxi could mobilize, and the Xichang men who were urgently mobilized from the capital were all sent out.

For a moment, an extremely large net was fully spread in Shaanxi and Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Wei Zhongxian was like a spider sitting in the middle of the formation. Every day, he listened to his subordinates reporting the news summarized from various places, either passing it to the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang, or picking out some of the sensitive contents, and then quickly entering Beijing and submitting it to Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen, who returned to the capital, had just finished the aftermath of the earthquake in the capital and started to have a headache again.

At the beginning, he was a bit boastful, as if he was a random place in the surrounding areas. After picking up the fiefdoms, he replaced them with domestic fiefdoms. In the future, the Ming Dynasty no longer raised the vassal kings as pigs.

I was so bragging that I had to finish crying. Now it was time for Emperor Chongzhen to cry.

Zhu Youjian, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, is here to find Emperor Chongzhen now.

Since the seventh year of the Tianqi revelation, Zhu Youjian has done nothing else after returning to his fiefdom. He has no land planted and sealed it up. He sold jewelry, such as jewellery and eunuchs in the palace, and ordered the Jinyiwei and eunuchs to sell it for silver. In order to sell it for more money, Prince Zhu specially ordered people to sell it one after another, and it was almost last month that it was all exchanged for silver.

As for those who are suffering from farming for the royal palace or selling themselves as slaves, Prince Zhu waved his hand and gave money and land to sell his body contract, and then bribed the hearts of the people first.

After all the preparations were made, Prince Zhu came to the capital to find Emperor Chongzhen again, intending to go overseas to find the country now.

Originally, if someone changed his fiefdom and if Zhu Youjian was the one who was more optimistic about him, Emperor Chongzhen would be very happy.

However, looking at the position Zhu Youjian pointed out on the map of the mountains and rivers, Emperor Chongzhen really couldn't laugh out loud. Zhu Youjian's slender fingers pointed to the Taiwan Island in later generations, and the current Daliuqiu.

Emperor Chongzhen twitched the corners of his mouth and said to Zhu Youjian: "In this position of Ryukyu... Why don't Uncle Wang change one?"

Zhu Youjian has good military strength and ambitions. The problem is that his strategic vision is still not enough, or he didn't think too much in his heart. He heard this and just looked at Chongzhen curiously: "I am stupid, please make clear."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhu Youjian's curious baby look and said helplessly: "I don't tell you anything about the falsehood with Uncle Wang. This place is the sea portal of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to replace the fiefdom.

This is why Uncle Wang Zhongjing is the country. If someone changes me, I will doubt what his intention is."

When Zhu Youjian heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. You might as well say that you are worried that I will block you there: "Your Majesty, I have a word, don't you know whether to say it or not?"

Chongzhen said: "What Wang Shuzu wanted to say is that this place is now in the hands of the Dutch barbarians and is not owned by the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Youjian bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise, I am guilty."

Chongzhen waved his hand and said to Zhu Youjian: "What is the crime of Uncle Wang? We are all a family, so we naturally have to consider it for our own family. I also know that Uncle Wang wants to take back this place for the court.

However, I have ordered the Ming Navy to rectify and train and build treasure ships. At that time, Ryukyu will naturally fall down in one go and belong to our Ming Dynasty again. At that time, no matter which maritime threat is faced, the Ming Dynasty will have a great depth to go back and forth, so this place must not be replaced.

Uncle Wang should not say that I broke my promise and became fat. It is really too important for this place."

How many god-knowing beasts have rushed in Zhu Youjian's mind, outsiders don't know. But he originally set his sights on this good place, but he never considered other places. Now the fields in the fiefdom are deserted, and the jewelry has been exchanged for silver. He just waited for Emperor Chongzhen to nod and recruit refugees to establish the country. He suddenly said that he could not change this land. Zhu Youjian felt that if Chongzhen was not the emperor, he would have cut him to death with a knife.

Since you don’t give me the land I like, then you can choose for me, and see how bad you can choose! Zhu Youjian, who made up his mind, said: “Your Majesty, please give me some advice and choose a place for me to replace it.”

Now it was Emperor Chongzhen's turn to have a headache. The geometric map was big enough, but it was really not easy to choose a suitable place.

Going north, the bitter and cold land over there is actually a big treasure house, and Emperor Chongzhen couldn't bear to leave it alone.

Going west, the land in India is also a good place. It is said that there are many gems on it, but Emperor Chongzhen still couldn't bear to leave it alone.

To the south, there is a large granary that is three-ripe a year, and to the south, there are more good things in the sea, and scallops and oysters are all good things. Emperor Chongzhen still couldn't bear to think about it.

Go east? Forget it. Now, besides Japan, there are only sea water left. For the establishment of a country under the sea, let alone the Ming Dynasty, no one can do it even after hundreds of years.

As for going east and running to the land in Alaska or America, Chongzhen wanted Zhu Youjian to go. The problem was that people had to go, especially when they ran so far with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands or more landless refugees, how many people could be left to the place? Emperor Chongzhen was really unsure.

So the current situation is that Zhu Youjian is worry-free and throws the problem to Emperor Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen, who thinks Zhu Youjian is a pretty good person, has a headache now. This is a damn difficult thing.

Otherwise, let’s try Tai Chi?

Emperor Chongzhen, who made up his mind, asked: "Is Uncle Wang ready? Are the recruitment of refugees, officials and troops, all of them ready?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youjian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are not ready to recruit people yet. But I have prepared the money. As long as I determine where to replace it, I will immediately recruit people. I heard that there was a drought in Shaanxi, so I will go to Shaanxi to recruit people. At that time, the factory guards will supervise it, which can be considered as a matter of sharing the worries of the court?"

Emperor Chongzhen whined and continued, "Uncle Wang has been thinking simple."

Zhu Youjian asked, "Please tell me."

Seeing that the topic was changed successfully, Emperor Chongzhen continued to fool: "In a country, there needs to be a prime minister, officials from various departments, officials from various counties, and even more military. Without any preparation, how can Uncle Wang build a country overseas?

Just like the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it was the continuous war with the Mongol Yuan that led to this huge territory. I have led soldiers. I know that the military affairs are not easy. Did Uncle Wang lead soldiers?

Not to mention the other side, just food, military merit statistics, and rewards are enough to make people feel headache."

Zhu Youjian thought to himself, I know these things, but I have to do them, as well, as it is better than being kept like a pig in the Ming Dynasty. As long as I go overseas, it feels so good to be successful, right? Otherwise, how could so many people want to be emperors?

Although he was anxious about the fiefdom in his heart, Zhu Youjian was not a real fool. He immediately bowed and said, "Please make it clear to you."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, pondered for a while and then continued: "How many refugees Uncle Wang is expected to recruit?"

In one sentence, Zhu Youjian stopped asking. If I said directly that I planned to recruit a refugee of 1.8 million, would the emperor think that I wanted to rebel? If I recruit a man of 100,000,000, then there is still a ball?

When Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhu Youjian's face showing a hint of embarrassment, he probably guessed why he was embarrassed, so he said lightly: "I said something before, so I will recruit as much as I can. I will never stop him. Furthermore, there are more than 100,000 people affected by disasters in Shaanxi. The more Uncle Wang recruits, the less pressure the court will put on to help the victims. Therefore, Uncle Wang doesn't have to worry that I will suspect you.

Besides, I was happy that my vassal king of the Ming Dynasty occupied all the land outside the Ming Dynasty. No matter how messed up, it would be like the meat rotting in the pot. The whole thing was my own business of the Han people, as long as it was not like Jiannu.”

When Zhu Youjian heard Emperor Chongzhen say this, he let go of part of his heart first. This is also considered that Emperor Chongzhen gave him a clear idea of ​​his kindness.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Youjian bowed and said, "I want to recruit 100,000 or 200,000 refugees."

Chongzhen nodded and then asked, "Let's count 100,000 refugees first. If we want to manage these 100,000 refugees, how many officials are needed? How many soldiers are there? How many professors are needed to teach these refugees' sons and local natives to write Chinese characters? How much food and grass is needed to go from the Ming Dynasty to the fiefdom?"

After a few words, Zhu Youjian stopped asking.

Zhu Youjian felt that he was rich, which was a fact. The King of Tang had accumulated over the years, and saying that he had no money was a joke.

But having money does not mean that you can handle everything. First of all, this official is the biggest problem. How many officials are willing to give up the world of Ming Dynasty and follow them to establish a country overseas? Even if you have the temptation to follow the dragon, it is better to seek stability than change. In addition, it is even more difficult to get rid of your hometown. Could it be that you really choose officials from among the refugees and those unsuccessful scholars? Not to mention anything else, Zhu Youjian can guess eight or nine points even if he is not very clear about these scholars.

Seeing that Zhu Youjian's expression became even more embarrassing, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "After all, everything is difficult at the beginning. Uncle Wang was the first vassal king to request the title. There was no precedent before, so it was a little troublesome.

But I am not that inhumane. So, I will now pass on the imperial edict to the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet and the six ministers of the ministers of the Ministry of Justice to discuss with Uncle Wang. How about it?"

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed when he heard this. It seemed that the decision he made was indeed the right one.

Whether it was the fact that he had dispersed some of his family's wealth and wanted to lead troops to defend the king, or the first to take the lead in agreeing with the emperor's policy of replacing fiefs, it brought great benefits to him.

Now I may suffer some losses, but in the long run, it is definitely a good thing, absolutely. With the current emperor's temperament, can I miss the benefits of being so loyal to the vassal king in the future?

Zhu Youjian, who was very calm in his heart, hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is the decision."

Seeing Zhu Youjian's knowledge and tactfulness, Emperor Chongzhen also expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, Uncle Wang, I will not lose my family."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhu Youjian to thank him again, Emperor Chongzhen directly ordered Wang Chengen: "It is said that Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Shi Fenglai, the Minister of Revenue Guo Yunhou, the Minister of Personnel, the Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of War, Xu Xianchun, the Admiral of the Jinyiwei, and Cao Huachun, the Admiral of the East Factory, came to see me in the palace."

After Wang Cheng'en wrote it down, he quickly bowed to answer.

After a few people entered the palace, they saw that Zhu Youjian, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, were also here with the emperor, and the people who were summoned, and they understood a little in their hearts. It was probably related to the emperor's previous statement about replacing fiefs for the vassal kings.

Sure enough, after several people greeted Emperor Chongzhen and Emperor Tang’s grandson Zhu Youjian, they heard Emperor Chongzhen say: “I have talked about the overseas establishment of the king of Xu Daming’s vassal state in the past. Now I’m summoning all my dear ministers to come here to discuss this matter.”

As the chief assistant, Wen Tiren bowed and said, "Please make it clear to you."

Chongzhen said: "I want to allow the King of Tang to recruit refugees to build a country overseas, but how many people are affected in Shaanxi and other places? How many people are willing to follow? How many soldiers are needed at that time? How many officials are there?

No matter how fast, no matter which vassal king's fiefdom is, whether it is the Ming people who followed the past or the local natives, they all need to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters. How many gentlemen are needed to teach children?

Everything is complicated, I want to discuss it with all my beloved friends."

Wen Tiren heard this and bowed and said, "It is not easy to recruit refugees now."

However, Chongzhen cursed in his heart, "Damn it, didn't it mean that some refugees were in the late Ming Dynasty? Why was it difficult to recruit? Following Zhu Youjian, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, how could he have enough food?
