Chapter 199 Nice Butt(1/2)
No one can tolerate the possibility that he will serve as a teacher at the Royal Military Academy, let alone refuse the opportunity for his family members to study at the Royal Military Academy.
After the Emperor Taisun introduced the role of the Royal Military Academy.
Everyone present reacted and knew clearly that as long as it is completed at this time, I am afraid that more than half of the generals in the Ming army in the future will come from this academy.
This is a huge benefit, far greater than the tax the family needs to pay for the tens of thousands of acres of land.
As long as this academy is built, Ming Dynasty's military structure will undergo earth-shaking changes.
I am afraid that at that time, everyone in the military will regard being able to enter this academy as a supreme honor.
And those who graduate from the military academy bearing the name of the royal family will inevitably become the backbone of the army.
Everyone's eyes were like Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen's, showing fiery expectations.
Let me ask you, at this time, which family doesn’t have several eldest and younger children?
They present have become among the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty, and they will want to pass on this glory and power.
Things that rest on your laurels cannot last forever.
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Tomorrow, this memorial will be presented to the old man for personal reading."
Chang Sheng stared, suddenly feeling that the number of acres of land in the Founding Father's Mansion he had taken out was a bit redundant.
Zhu Yunxi looked at his second uncle at this time. He knew clearly what was recorded in the account book in front of him.
He spoke softly: "The founding government has 7,324 acres of irrigated fields and 3,689 acres of dry land."
After saying one sentence, Chang Sheng's face became as wonderful as a kaleidoscope.
Chang Sheng opened his mouth and retreated to his seat in embarrassment.
But Zhu Yunxi turned to look at Lan Yu, the Duke of Liang on the other side: "The Duke of Liang's mansion has 9,773 acres of irrigated fields and 1,215 acres of dry land."
"The Marquis of Jingchuan has 3,524 acres of irrigated fields and 1,176 acres of dry land."
"..."
After talking about a few more times, Zhu Yunxi stopped.
He looked up at the strange and red-faced heroes in front of him.
Zhu Yunxi coughed lightly, and finally smiled for the first time since entering the Central Military Governor's Mansion.
"The old man is a kind-hearted man who cares about old friendships. The last time he asked you to take the initiative to clear out the land and fine you the salary, he was extremely gracious. You really hid the land under someone else's name. Didn't the old man know? The prince didn't know?
Don’t you know?”
"I await the death penalty!"
"Please punish me too!"
Even though Chang Sheng and Lan Yu were not involved in the last clearing of property, they still chose to kneel on the ground together with other meritorious deeds present.
Everyone knows that this is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.
The emperor's grandson has already said that the emperor knows about this matter.
They didn't know why the old man didn't choose to punish them severely or even kill them as he did in the past.
But in today's transaction, the balance has tilted.
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, walked from the main seat to the field, and stood in the middle of the crowd.
"Those who are guilty or not will not be held accountable at this time." Zhu Yunxi waved his arms behind his back, and gently turned the ring finger on his right hand.
"The affairs of Zhejiang Province are being handled. Xia Yuanji is doing it very effectively and has accumulated experience. This year, the affairs of the DPRK will be put on this head. Next year..."
"I know that in the coming year, as I will make great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, I will act with caution and obey orders!"
All the heroes echoed loudly and made their promises.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and turned the ring in his hand faster.
"I don't want you to talk about following orders now. I have a business and I want to talk to you about it."
Zhu Yunxi turned in a circle and stopped: "Whether it is to break up with the country or to collapse in the middle, I believe all of you uncles know it. You are not civil servants outside. The door is closed here. We are our own family.
My own words.”
His tone softened.
But it made the meritorious generals around them feel increasingly uneasy.
The Tian family will never say anything to you about their own family.
If we really talk about it, I will ask you to cut off your flesh.
After all, there is no distinction between inside and outside in my family.
Zhu Yunxi did not let them down.
He said directly: "Next year, each family must continue to work on sharing their land. If there are family members who support merchants, their share of business tax must not be less. By then, if anyone is less, I will be alone.
If you don’t say anything, don’t blame the old man for questioning and settling old and new accounts.”
"I don't dare."
"I will not give up even if I die."
"Don't dare disobey!"
Everyone agreed.
Zhu Yunxi continued: "If you don't want to spread your family's income, there is a way..."
These words are very tempting.
Heads were raised one by one.
Zhu Yunxi showed a smiling face.
"The Japanese state currently has a large army to suppress the Japanese..."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi squatted down slightly and looked at everyone.
One by one, the meritorious generals were shocked.
Zhu Yunxi said again: "I think that the country should have an army to control the south..."
The rectal heads of a group of meritorious generals began to become confused again.
Chang Sheng reacted: "Is Taisun going to conquer southern Xinjiang?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "The Ming Dynasty and Southern Xinjiang have been of the same lineage since ancient times. Why did we conquer it? We should make good progress and live in harmony."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi's eyes were dark: "The imperial court will allow each family to send troops, and the servants will go to the southern Xinjiang, the barren mountains and forests, and all the proceeds from the reclamation will be used by each family. There will be no taxation in the court, and it will be the same as the country.
Hugh."
Chang Sheng whispered: "I'm afraid Jiaozhi won't allow it..."
"Inch by inch, Guhui has contributed to the southern border guards squeezing Jiaozhi, and Yunnan Mujiahui has shocked the southern Xinjiang Xiaoxiao. One acre of land is exchanged for ten acres of land. This is the quota."
Leaving the Central Plains to the people of the Central Plains and allowing the clan's meritorious merchants to go outside and get rid of the outside land is Zhu Yunxi's long-awaited plan.
Only by tying these merits to this carriage can the entire Ming Dynasty take the step of stepping out.
Lan Yu immediately saw the shortcomings and said worriedly: "If we do this, we will definitely start a war..."
His meaning is very simple. Although each family is a general, in the final analysis, it is a country. They cannot defeat it without relying on the Ming court.
Zhu Yunxi spoke: "The matter in southern Xinjiang has not been completed, and each family can still hold the current land property, and if the matter is completed, it can be exchanged ten times."
Let’s tie it into the car and talk about it.
Zhu Yunxi knew very well that without the imperial court sending troops, the development of southern Xinjiang would not progress by leaps and bounds, but it was necessary to tie these people to carriages first.
Lan Yu and Chang Sheng looked at each other.
Both of them saw the hesitation in the other's heart, but today's matter has already come to this.
The emperor's grandson has already used the Royal Military Academy as a bargaining chip, and even named the actual amount of land owned by each family. These are the key points.
Even with these two points, they did not dare to say anything.
It is better to pay some land tax than to have your head chopped off by the emperor.
But now, without having to be beheaded, he and his children can enter the Royal Military Academy that has not yet been established, which is enough to offset the contradiction between the two things.
It's already a good deal.
As for the matters in southern Xinjiang, it is more about the emperor’s grandson’s compensation for their families.
One acre of land in the Central Plains can be exchanged for ten acres of land in southern Xinjiang.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see in this transaction that the court is at a loss.
It's just that it has never been realized at the moment, but once this matter is brought up, it can always be done. If it is done, can the Emperor Taisun say that today's words will not count?
Everyone present knows that these words will always count.
Therefore, Lan Yu, Duke of Liang Kingdom, spoke up and said that there was a banquet prepared at home today. It just so happened that the emperor's grandson had just returned to Beijing, so everyone would have a good gathering.
To be continued...
