647 My life is only a dream of Yunshan (8)
In order to allow the two princes to settle the country, the expenditure of the treasury in the first half of the first year of Longjing naturally had to be greatly spent.
First, we have to give the king a marriage.
According to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty royal family not marrying noble families, Chongzhen also wanted to find the daughters of two small families to give them to his son.
"Emperor Gao also chose a spouse for the kings from a family of meritorious deeds." Zhu Cixuan did not agree with this.
Chengzu's empress is Xu Da's eldest daughter, and Xu Da's other two daughters have become the Princess of Death and Princess An respectively.
The Crown Prince Chang, the Crown Prince Zhu Biao, is the daughter of Chang Yuchun.
When Zhu Cixuan established the national policy, he did not think about establishing a country of some kind, nor did he believe that whatever is a certain kind of ideology is good, whether it is seedlings or grass. Therefore, he attached more importance to the solution of today's social problems. As for decades or even a hundred years later, there will naturally be new people who will lead, reforms and reforms, and it is impossible for him to take charge of it.
But the signs emerging from the Ming Dynasty now have a lot of shadows of aristocratic capitalism.
The old powerful families did not mix the past and moved forward bravely towards the benefits of industry and commerce. The new bureaucrats did not have the awareness of being a public servant for the people, and they were also working hard for the family to become powerful families.
In this case, if the royal family cannot stand with them, they will either be abandoned by them or "slaughter fat sheep" again. It is obvious that Zhu Cilang's behavior of "cooking cows and slaughtering sheep and having fun" will make future families cautious in the future, and it may not be so easy for their descendants to follow.
Moreover, without a major event like a country change, it is not easy to regain military power from the leader.
So marriage is a good choice.
The powerful family took advantage of the imperial family to maintain their arrogance, and the imperial family took advantage of the power to consolidate themselves and integrate interests.
When getting married to a small family, there is no advantage in both political and economic interests.
Of course, this kind of snobbish villain's words are not what the emperor should say, and it is even a sin to think about it.
"Many generals and schools in the army went through life and death for the Ming Dynasty, and their sons didn't know how to reward them. So they wanted to marry the two families and make a great contribution for generations." Zhu Cixuan said.
Chongzhen considered it and said: "The ancestors worshipped the royal family as small families, but in fact they were worried that the relatives of the foreigners would abduct power."
This is the traditional burden of bearing. The abuse of power by the relatives of the Han Dynasty really left a deep impression on future generations.
"My son is not worried about this. Now there is no soil for foreign relatives to abduct power." Zhu Cilang said with a smile.
The abusing power of foreign relatives in the Han Dynasty was related to the bureaucratic and social systems at that time.
Once the relatives of the foreign country reached the sky, they often became three ministers, nine ministers, and even prime ministers, so they promoted their disciples to make the court private. This is the immaturity of the bureaucratic system.
Locally, foreign relatives annexed a large number of land, occupied the population, became powerful, and even had the confidence to fight against the imperial army. This is the single social production relations.
When the wheel of history rolled to the section of the Ming Dynasty, the bureaucracy was particularly developed. Not to mention the relatives of the foreign minister, even the chief minister who had the power of the prime minister surpassed the prime minister of the Tang and Song dynasties. Who could have been the private doors of the court? Moreover, in the future, bureaucrats were promoted from civil servants, civil servants came from major schools, and imperial examination officials rarely gained real power, with clear rights and responsibilities, and clear context. Even the soil of the power minister was weakened, let alone foreign relatives?
As for occupying social and economic influence, it is not as simple as buying a few pieces of land in the future. With the refinement of the division of labor in social industries, the basic industries are controlled by the court and the royal family, and other profit industries will be divided among the powerful families. No relatives without any foundation cannot squeeze into the vested interest group. At most, they only eat some scraps of materials. It is not that easy to change the family.
This is also the reason why Zhu Cixuan chose to marry nobles. Every marriage should be the growth of the royal family, rather than weakening the power of the royal family.
"Do you have someone to choose?" Chongzhen asked. Judging from the fact that Kunxing chose the prince-consort, his son is still very good at identifying people.
"Xiao Mo has a daughter, who is now fifteen, but he can consider begging the given king." Zhu Cixuan said.
Chongzhen knew about Xiao Mo, but he was not very happy because his generals and schoolmen were too domineering.
"Is there any more?" Chongzhen asked.
"If there is any more..." Zhu Cixuan thought for a while, "the niece of former Governor Lu Xiangsheng and the daughter of Lu Xiangguan, the political participation in Jiangxi, is still suitable for age. Moreover, the Lu family in Jiangnan is also a local clan, with a scholarly fragrance for generations, and their children are loyal to the king and country, and can be royal wives."
Chongzhen's eyes lit up and said, "This is good."
After hearing this, Zhou Hou thought it was a good family and nodded, "I just don't know what the appearance is and how good the wife is."
Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "I have seen it, so there is absolutely no problem."
Zhou Hou exclaimed softly, feeling something was wrong, but he didn't think much deeper, and he didn't expect that the wife the emperor chose for his younger brother was actually a female officer.
King Ding had no say in this. Such things were all the orders of his parents. How could he be the turn of opposing them?
However, the Lu family was a little confused about this marriage. On the one hand, they were worried that Lu Xiangguan's career would be affected, and on the other hand, they were worried that their daughter would not be able to get married. Taking a step back, if Lu Qiaochu really couldn't marry, it would be better to be an old girl, as he was also a colonel officer of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Cixuan had to write a private message in person, promising that this marriage would not affect Lu Xiangguan's career. Lu Xiangguan entered a thousand words to explain it, but he finally agreed. In order to prove that he was confident, Zhu Cixuan specially added the title of Lu Xiangguan after the matter was finalized, and arranged for the Ministry of Personnel to promote several Lu children.
Although the officials of these Lu family members are all in North Korea and Liaoning, they also show the attitude of the emperor towards his in-laws.
No longer just preventing it.
Everyone was very happy about this, and the one who was most unhappy was Lu Qiaochu himself.
She had to submit an application for retirement, with only five big words full of resentment: Getting married and having children!
Qin Liangyu was also very dissatisfied with this. A trainee she was very optimistic about was actually snatched away. And what can a princess do? What can it be used to the country? This kind of vase looks like a lot of goods on the streets. Is it necessary to find it from the army?
But no matter how dissatisfied, I could only pinch my nose and accept it.
After all, Lu Qiaochu married into the imperial family with the preparation of the six rites and became the sister-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor. When this sister-in-law met His Majesty the Emperor for the first time, she subconsciously saluted the military salute, and the whole hall was shocked, especially the groom, the face of the King Ding was blue.
"Actually, I think Princess Ding is good."
Zhu Cixuan came out of the palace and returned to his house on Shiwangfu Street. He took off his court uniform and changed into military uniforms. He had already completed the retirement procedures and was no longer an officer of the Ming Dynasty. His military uniform had also taken off his epaulettes, just like an ordinary retired veteran.
The three friends in the dormitory sat in the hall, all wearing regular Ming military uniforms. They will be the core team of His Royal Highness Yong to Australia for his country.
It has to be admitted that when they first learned that Zhu Yong was the younger brother of the current emperor, the three of them had different degrees of fear on their faces, but they soon became normal.
Shan Liantian and Zhu Yong had the best relationship. They usually had a squat and called each other brothers, so he was not worried that King Yong would be unfavorable to him.
Zhen Guodong has always regarded Zhu Yong as the financial backer and has gained a lot of benefits. Now it only shows that he really has vision.
Zheng Chongyuan is a standard child of a businessman. After knowing Zhu Yong's true form, he subconsciously broke through all the past and started a new relationship with expectation.
Zhu Yong was not an extrovert in the martial arts lecture hall. He had limited friendships. If he really wanted to find a trustworthy team, he would get along with these roommates day and night. Fortunately, Shan Liantian and Zhen Guodong were both jujube pit stars who were full of popularity. It was they who recruited a group of passionate young officers for King Yong, who were willing to go to Australia to defend their territory and defend their territory and resist the barbarians.
Zheng Chongyuan won the support of his family. As long as he gained a foothold in Australia, his family would transport scarce materials as quickly as possible, which was also considered a political investment.
New territory, new wealth, this slogan has quietly spread.
"Where is your marriage?" Zheng Chongyuan asked, "Are you also choosing from the army?"
"Me? I'm not in a hurry." Zhu Cixuan said: "I told the emperor that I will find a suitable one in the future and consolidate Australia first. By the way, I got the charts and maps from the General Staff and found a strange thing."
Zhu Cixi stood up and called everyone to the war room he had arranged, pointed to the map on the big table and said, "Look, this is Taiwan, this is Luzon, below Luzon, above Australia, there is such a big island! This island is unoccupied, only the canvas."
"Your Highness said why no one occupied it?" Zheng Chongyuan said: "It's not surprising. The Thais need to sail to Southeast Asia for eight or nine months. The country is poor and the boats are small, so many people cannot be transported. So even if there is a good land, they cannot occupy it."
"What I wonder is why we don't include this island in Australia as a barrier for Australia to the outside world," Zhu Cixuan said.
"If you set up a commercial station, it is indeed convenient to stockpile a large amount of supplies as a transfer station." Zheng Chongyuan touched the hard hair on his lips: "Good, transfer! This place is very important to Australia."
"Transportation?" Zhen Guodong said in confusion: "Isn't it all here? Why do you still need to transfer the goods?"
When Zheng Chongyuan saw Zhu Yong and Shan Liantian, he looked puzzled and laughed: "For generals, they do not know astronomy, geography, and they do not understand yin and yang...Oh!"
"Tell me quickly." Shan Liantian picked up the bamboo whip and whipped Zheng Chongyuan's arm.
Zheng Chongyuan looked at Shan Liantian with a resentment: "Have you ever heard of the equatorial windless belt? Between five degrees north and south, it is the location of this island. From Australia to this island, there is a monsoon to use a boat; from the Ming Dynasty to this island, you can also use a monsoon to open the boat. However, from the Ming Dynasty to Australia, there is a problem of off-season. The winter here is the summer in Australia. The north wind here is the south wind here."
Zhu Cixuan patted Zheng Chongyuan on the back and said, "Good experience! When I arrive in Australia in the future, I will let you rush to grab the land!"
"Thank you, your husband!" Zheng Chongyuan responded without hesitation, for fear that Zhu Cixu would repent.
