"Grandpa Emperor!"

"Dapeng."

The three-year-old crown prince entered the imperial study room lightly and ran towards Zhang Chao from afar. Seeing this, Zhang Chao stood up and opened his arms to greet the eldest grandson who was rushing towards him like a titty swallow who was throwing into the forest. He hugged his grandson, Zhang Chao patted his head, and the crown prince giggled, "Grandpa Emperor, I have learned another poem today."

The crown prince had not returned to Hanjing after the eastern expedition, and the crown prince's concubines and other concubines in the Eastern Palace also went to Fusang. Now, the crown prince regards the prince's fief as his own trial place according to the emperor's wishes. He manages it with great care and shows his strength.

When he left, the crown prince was only one year old. Zhang Chao asked the crown prince and his wife to keep the child. He had basically taken care of him in person for two years. The child has now started to go to school and studied in Xu Hui's palace kindergarten. However, he has shown good talent at a young age.

Very smart and very active.

Although it is a bit naughty, Zhang Chao likes the cleverness of this child. A child who is too honest is actually not so likable.

The crown prince Zhang Sheng was made the crown prince early, and Dahua was the first to open the dual crown prince system. The second generation of heirs were in the trial of Fusang, and the third generation of successors were also established early. For the young Zhang Sheng, he still didn't understand these things.

However, Zhang Chao began to educate the child early on and did not allow Zhang Jing to take him to Fusang because of this consideration.

With Zhang Hun as a typical example, Zhang Chao is now paying more and more attention to Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng and Zhang Dapeng lived in the Ganlu Hall with Zhang Chao. Every morning, Zhang Chao called him to get up and asked him to do morning exercises. At night, he told him fairy tales or some historical allusions to make him fall asleep.

Zhang Sheng is also the only person who can enter the imperial study without any communication. No matter when, Zhang Chao would not stop this eldest grandson.

Zhang Chao gave Changsun a nickname, Dapeng, which means Dapeng spread his wings, hoping that he will be able to make a fortune in the future. Zhang Chao asked Changsun with a smile what poems he had learned. Listening to Dapeng shook his head proudly and recited the newly learned poems, and praised him for a few words. Zhang Chao took him to sit behind the imperial case.

"Come on, review the memorials for Grandpa Emperor. Grandpa Emperor will read them, and you will write them."

Zhang Dapeng likes to help Zhang Chao write very much, and happily picks up the imperial pen.

He picked a memorial and Zhang Chao asked his eldest grandson to read it first. He explained it to him if there were words he didn't know. Then he roughly explained the meaning of the memorial to him, and sometimes he would consider him.

However, the three-year-old child always has different ideas from adults, and sometimes the words he says are funny.

"I'll criticize this."

Zhang Sheng could write these four words, and it was also the four most written words that the Emperor's grandfather wrote when he reviewed the memorial. He picked up the imperial pen and dipped it in cinnabar, and then carefully reviewed them at the back of the memorial.

It took a long time to write the four words. The words were a bit crooked, but they were very serious when they were stroked and stroked carefully. It was quite childlike.

"Written well, I will be a prize. Dapeng, what do you want to eat later, grandpa will cook for you in person."

"Grandpa, I want to eat braised chicken wings!"

"Okay, grandpa will do it for you."

"Then I'll help my grandfather later."

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Chao laughed loudly. His grandson always liked the most. Every time he quarreled to ask Grandpa to make delicious food for him, then when Zhang Chao cooked, he would always smile and take action. Although many times, his help was helping him, Zhang Chao liked this feeling.

In a blink of an eye, it is the golden autumn of October again, and the autumn harvest in various places is over, the weather is getting colder, and the hard work of farmers for the year has finally come to an end.

For tax collectors, the autumn tax is about to be levied.

During the New Year, the crown prince launched a spring offensive in Japan and quickly defeated Japan. After that, the imperial court set up the Fusang Road. The crown prince personally managed Fusang and implemented various new policies. The old Japanese nobles and powerful men rebelled one after another, but this great rebellion did not go astray.

The prince did not even need the court to send troops. He relied on his own Fusang troops to completely quell the rebellion that implicated the entire Fusang in just two months.

Because the rebellion was too fast, this matter failed to even enter the hot events of Dahua this year. Relatively speaking, the rebellion of the old nobles and powerful after the demise of Japan was just a little after the Eastern Expedition.

In less than two months of a rebellion, the chaos that was completely quelled was not attracted by everyone's attention.

However, in Hanjing, Emperor Zhang Chao was always paying attention to the rebellion in Fusang. Zhang Chao was not concerned about the rebellion itself, but the prince's ability to deal with this rebellion incident.

The performance of the prince Zhang Jing still satisfied Zhang Chao very much. The court’s advice to the prince was to eliminate one million Japanese people and transport these people to the Central Plains as slaves.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Crown Prince Zhang Jing had already transported two million Japanese slaves to various ports in the Central Plains, which was twice as much as the imperial court originally requested.

Almost 20% of the population was directly eliminated from Fusang, and almost captured the old nobles and powerful people, and even many rich peasants and businessmen.

But after suddenly eliminating the entire middle and upper class of Japan, Fusang did not have any chaos or even production stagnated. On the contrary, when Zhang Jing first started to quell the chaos, he was already vigorously attracting investment, attracting investment and immigration, and various projects started construction.

After the Japanese riots were pacified, the property obtained by the two million Japanese people was eliminated, so that Zhang Jing could have huge financial resources and could start the construction of many projects.

Now, construction of new port cities has started, and the industrial and commercial development of Fusang is also taking off rapidly. The mining industry, which is positioned as the driving force for Fusang's development, is in full swing.

The cabinet and parliament are paying attention to the development of Fusang, and they are very proud and supportive of the implementation of a series of policies of the prince of the queen pacifying the Japanese. From the cabinet to the six ministries, to the temples, supervisors, and offices, they are almost always green in the way to facilitate the prince's journey.

Although the prince was in Fusang for less than a year, his previous performance in Liuqiu on the Korean Peninsula has won the support of many ministers in the court. They have seen many shadows of the emperor in this crown prince.

Although the current crown prince is much more immature than the emperor, this crown prince is already very outstanding. Everyone believes that such a crown prince can lead Dahua further in the future.

Among them, some people believe that the prince’s methods in Fusang were a bit ruthless or even a bit harsh in the old nobles and tyrannical forces. This is also very controversial, such as collecting all the land and belonging to the prince’s mansion rather than to the court.

After the Japanese were taken back, the fields were not handed over to the court, but were directly included in the prince's mansion. The prince distributed the fields to the Japanese and rented seeds. The prince's mansion collected rent from the Japanese and six dou per mu. Then the prince paid the land tax to the court, but only fifteen cents per mu.

Fifteen cents, this money is not enough for a dou of rice now.

After the imperial court implemented the protection of agricultural product prices, especially the purchase price of grain prices, the grain prices have basically maintained a very stable price, and the rice prices in most places are around twenty yuan.

Fifteen cents are really not enough for a dou of rice.

The rent of six dou of a mu is a few times different from the tuition of fifteen cents. This is a few times different. This is exactly what many people criticize the prince, thinking that the prince is actually digging the corners of the court.

In addition, during the subsequent quelling of the rebellion, almost most of the assets of the more than 2 million Japanese people fell into the prince's mansion. The prince only handed over one-third to the court. Many officials believed that these assets should be owned by the national treasury, and the court took out part of them to reward the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition.

However, objections are objections, but neither the emperor nor the cabinet expressed any comments.

The prince sent two million Japanese slaves to the court, but the court did not pay, but just pulled out a lot of supplies and craftsmen. He also moved about 300,000 immigrants from various places to Fusang, including 200,000 barbarians and Hu people from various tribes and 100,000 Han people.

To really settle the accounts, two million Japanese people are worth at least 100 million, and the ones that the court sent to Fusang by the court must be worth 100 million, but neither the court nor the prince went into delving into this.

These materials are indeed not worth much, but the court's policy support is priceless.

In any case, Zhang Chao was very satisfied with the prince's performance. It was very difficult to stabilize the situation so quickly in Fusang and open up a new situation, so that Fusang is now in a lively development scene.

To this end, the imperial court named Fusang to conduct a pilot project in the new province and region division.

The Fusang Road system remains unchanged, and it is under the jurisdiction of two provinces.

One is the Japanese province, and the other is the Cave Province.

The Kushu Province is the Sakhalin Island of later generations. Now it is a branch of the Hei Shui Mohe people, and the Kushu Province is there. Zhang Chao also classified the North Sea Island as the Kushu Province, so that all the large islands in Northeast Asia are under the jurisdiction of the same line.

Originally, some people in the court proposed that North Korea and Japan should be classified as a governor of the Asahi Japan, but Zhang Chao did not agree to this setting.

The reason is very simple, for strategic security reasons. This is the case with the situation of the Tang Dynasty, which was based on the situation of mountains and rivers, such as the boundary of large rivers or mountains and rivers. However, after the Song Dynasty, the first-level administrative division of the Song Dynasty broke this division method and changed to the situation of staggering dogs and teeth.

For example, during the Tang Dynasty, the entire area north of the Yangtze River and south of the Huai River was all affiliated with a Huainan Road. However, later, the Huainan Road was divided into two provinces, and both roads were each built in Jiangnan. This is the case with Anhui and Jiangsu.

For example, at the earliest times, Sichuan and Hanzhong were actually a more corresponding whole geographically, and Hanzhong and Shaanxi were actually separated by Qinling Mountains and were relatively independent.

But because Sichuan is a large basin, it is very easy to divide, especially when Sichuan has Hanzhong again, the separatist trend will be easier to form. Therefore, Hanzhong was divided from Sichuan and included in Shaanxi, making Sichuan no longer a complete and independent terrain.

For example, in Henan and Hebei, the two places were originally bounded by the Yellow River, but in fact, Henan later circled a large area north of the Yellow River, and Hebei also circled a large area such as the Huailai Zhangjiakou Basin outside Juyong Pass.

There are many such examples, with the purpose of destroying the geographical characteristics and forming a situation of intertwinedness, so as not to have a complete geographical situation in order to prevent separatism.

Geographically speaking, it is naturally great to form a governor's district. But if you consider it strategically, both places are very important, and if you form a governor's district, it would be a bit dangerous.

Zhang Chao finally formed a new province of Hokkaido, the Hokkaido, which was further north to Fusang, and the Kokshuo people's island, and then merged it into a Fusang Road, and did not set Asahi as a governor's road.

From another perspective, the new Fusang Road is under the jurisdiction of two provinces. The Japanese province in the south is naturally crowded with fertile land. Now it is under development. The newly established cave province in the north is extremely bitter and cold. There are not many people in the group, such as the Hokkien and the Hairy people, and the cave people.

But the more this happens, the more you are rich, the more you are poor.

The prince has shown good skills. Only one Japan is no longer difficult for the crown prince, but if one cave is added, it is difficult to develop the other side and establish a real rule there, which will test the prince's ability even more.

Zhang Chao hopes to add a burden to the prince’s shoulders to see if the prince can be better.

Zhang Chao directly granted the position of Governor General of Fusang Road to Crown Prince Zhang Jing. Originally, the crown prince was not suitable for another position of Governor General, but Zhang Chao insisted that since Fusang was the prince's fief, it was necessary for the crown prince to serve as the governor General. After all, if another governor was sent over there, it might affect the crown prince's authority there.

Even Zhang Chao even referred to the Cave as a province and directly included it into the prince's fief, and the entire Fusang Road was the prince's fief.

No one opposed the emperor's proposal, because in everyone's opinion, this Fusang Road, which is now the Japanese province, is truly valuable. As for the newly established cave, the province is just a bonus.

A cave talks about provinces, and neither population nor wealth is as good as a state in Japan's province, so it doesn't matter whether it adds or not.

The admiral of Fusangdao, Zhang Chao finally mentioned his disciple Gao Kan, and this proposal was supported by the Cabinet, the Privy Council, and the Ministry of War.

Zhang Jing, the governor of Fusang, was also the governor of Japan, while Gao Kan, the governor of Fusang, only served as military positions. The position of Kushu Governor was appointed by Li Gan, the former Fusang Xuanfu envoy.

Compared to the prince who did a very good job in Fusang, the second prince Zhang Hui once again left the capital in shame.

The second prince was beaten to the end of his crime. The heated discussion caused even exceeded the crown prince's quelling rebellion and new policies in Fusang, and also exceeded the reform of Fusang's Dao Province.

Everyone was amazed at the second prince's ability to make trouble and admire the emperor's decisiveness. He was able to do such a ruthless move against his second son.

Even the Shatuo prince was hotly discussed, and many people even envied him for being promoted to Marquis for this.
