Chapter 715

"Congratulations to the Crown Prince, and congratulate him."

The important officials of the court also received this news at the same time, and they were also surprised by the progress in Sichuan. After all, this was a bit logical. I originally thought that these chieftains were very tenacious, but now it seems that it is just a matter of this. Under the threat of our guns, these people also bowed their eyebrows and submitted memorials with delight.

In fact, this is mainly because of an inherent idea. From the establishment of the Ming Dynasty to the present, these chieftains are not easy-to-use. No matter what policies the court implemented in the southwest, chieftains remember one thing, that is, they cannot destroy their own interests. If they destroy their own interests, they will not care who issued the order from the court, or what kind of results this order can bring. In short, it is just two words, that is resistance.

For these disobedient chieftains, several emperors of the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack, but in the end they basically returned in disgrace and lost a lot of troops, but did not achieve the unexpected results.

In addition, it is not easy to send troops to Sichuan natural disasters, so the subsequent emperors did not make similar moves, which gave the people all over the world an impression that these chieftains in Sichuan are difficult to fight.

When His Highness the Crown Prince sent troops into Sichuan, many people also submitted memorials to His Highness the Crown Prince, hoping to reduce the scope of the battle around Zhang Xianzhong's territory and never provoke these chieftains. It was because they were afraid of these guys from the bottom of their hearts. Now, those who had submitted memorials before bowed their heads. They really wanted to go to the front line to see how the Ming army defeated these chieftains.

Some people also think that this is the lying of the front-line generals, but several memorials can lie, but the question is, can so much food be lying? Could it be that their food fell from the sky? Sichuan was so misfortune that Zhang Xianzhong was in trouble. It was impossible to collect grain locally. All of them had to be transported from outside. Now Wu Chengxun's memorial has already said that the chieftains can take out the food, and at least half of Sichuan's land can resume production, and the local people can also have rations for one year.

This alone has made other people unable to believe it. If these grains are piled up, they will definitely fill the entire palace. Except for these chieftains, who else can take out so much food?

"These two people are doing very well. If they hadn't done their hard work, there wouldn't be such a situation in Sichuan now. Have they mentioned the matters on Zhang Xianzhong?"

Now that the world is in charge, Zhu Cixuan has to pay more attention to, so he can't always pay attention to Sichuan. Therefore, Zhu Cixuan has not read many of the contents in the memorials, and basically uses the method of inquiry. If all the memorials are read word by word, let alone twenty-four hours a day, even fifty-four hours a day, I'm afraid Zhu Cixuan doesn't even have time to go to the toilet.

"When you say that to the Crown Prince, Zhang Xianzhong and his men did not do anything, and they did not mention them too much in the memorial. Our army is still besieging Chengdu. If the matter of the chieftain is solved, we can attack Chengdu."

Shi Kefa has always adhered to his own ideas, that is, he cannot have two battlefields in Sichuan. If there were two battlefields, the logistics supply would definitely not be available. Who made the road to Sichuan so difficult?

Zhu Cilang nodded, expressing his support for this idea, and then put the Sichuan memorial next to him, so everyone knows that Sichuan affairs will be placed there first.

"Is there anything urgent?"

Zhu Cilang looked at the dozens of memorials in the following way and felt a headache. Zhu Cilang has also learned to be lazy these days. Most of them asked the people here. If there was no urgent matter, they would send these memorials to the six cabinet departments and let them do it as they please. If thousands of things happen every day in the world, all of them rely on their own decisions, they would really die.

"If you go back to the Crown Prince, Huang Degong, the memorial of Anxi Protectorate, will be transported back 5.5 million taels of silver to the court..."

This memorial is Zhu Cilang's favorite. Huang Degong was not idle after arriving in the Western Regions and carried out a series of clearings of the surrounding areas. If the Ming Dynasty was not allowed to set up troops in the local area, all the tribes would be destroyed, all the useful things would be kept, and nothing could be used for the logistics department to transport them back, and then converted into gold and silver to transport them back to the capital.

"This money is a spoil?"

There was no joy or anger in Zhu Cilang's words, but Zhu Cilang also thought about it. If it was to be spoils, then the money would be a one-time deal.

"If you go back to His Royal Highness, 3.9 million taels of silver are spoils, and the remaining money is collected from taxes in the local area."

After deducting 3.9 million taels of silver, the money collected from taxes is not a decimal. Zhu Ciyang attaches great importance to this kind of sustainable income. If it is just a one-time transaction, let alone millions of silver, what can even be even a thousand million yuan of silver? Only this sustainable income can do major things for the court.

"Continue to return to the northwest and use this money to build roads. No matter how much it costs, the national road network has been issued. Local officials in various places must regard road construction as the top priority. Your Ministry of Personnel must also make a record and regard the progress of road construction as an important data for assessing local officials."

A smooth road not only has a military effect for the whole country, but also economic effect will soon appear. However, many local officials do not take this seriously. The Ming Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years and have never heard that building roads is an important thing.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, if the whole country has built a large number of projects, will it affect the people's home life?"

Zhang Shenyan said very tactfully that if the dynasties in history were to build large-scale construction, they would definitely arouse civil unrest. And there was another point, there was only so much labor force. If all of them were to be built, what should we do if the food in the fields were to be done?

After listening to Zhang Shenyan's words, Zhu Cilang also slapped his forehead. It seemed that he was still a little happy.
