Chongzhen Chat Group

Chapter 1246 Marquis Zhonglie and Governor Zuo

Emperor Chongzhen did not let them guess anymore, and said to them: "Every minister has the authority to see the new household registration system, and they should be able to see it. I thought it would be more appropriate to collect all personal information in it. And for marriage, It is a major event in life, and there are many aspects of relationships. Therefore, I think that marriage must be recorded, and relevant regulations must be made for marriage. In this way, many disputes caused by marriage, men and women, etc. can be eliminated. I think you how?"

As the saying goes, food, sex, sex, and the relationship between men and women really occupy a very important part of human social relations. This is undeniable!

Wen Tiren and others also understand this. The most important thing is that this new household registration system is really an eye-opener for them. The household registration system registered through chat groups not only contains each person's detailed information, but also photos and other information. When the government checks back, the information about each person is clear at a glance.

Of course, if we do what the emperor said, it will indeed be a big deal. Because everyone involved, such as Wen Tiren themselves, old couples, etc., have to re-register for photos and so on. It is no wonder that such a big matter needs to be discussed with the cabinet.

Emperor Chongzhen added without waiting for their reply: "Of course, everyone's information can also be set in categories. Different people and different regions must have corresponding permissions. Only people with my permission can browse it. I have thought about this matter for a long time and feel that it will greatly benefit the stability of our Ming Dynasty. Wen Qing, you are the chief minister of the cabinet, what do you think?"

After being indoctrinated by him one after another, and with the impact of the new household registration management, Wen Tiren and others were unable to think deeply about such things for a while.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's words revealed his determination, and his past events were in front of him, which all proved that his decisions were forward-looking and wise. Wen Tiren could not violate the Holy Will without serious conflict, so after thinking for a while, he seconded the proposal.

Other cabinet ministers were in a similar state to Wen Tiren, unable to think deeply about the various implications of this matter. In the end, they all agreed.

Since he agreed, Emperor Chongzhen left the matter to the cabinet and asked the cabinet to discuss the matter and come up with a charter to detail the Ming Dynasty's first marriage law.

In fact, no one in this era knew that Emperor Chongzhen actually dug a pit here and asked them to jump into it.

Since ancient times, in every dynasty, the powerful and powerful have influenced the affairs of the government. As the times have evolved, later on, it has been the powerful families that have controlled the affairs of the government and influenced the empire. Later, it has been the aristocratic families. No matter what the situation is, there is a common feature, that is, the small family affects everyone, that is, the clan affects the empire's rule.

If nothing else, let’s just talk about marriage. This is the biggest thing in a person’s life. But this has nothing to do with the government. It is up to the parents of both men and women, and if it goes up a bit, it has to do with clan power.

Emperor Chongzhen incorporated the determination of marriage relationships, which had legal effects, into the government, and the government had the final say. This was actually a seizure of power and the power of the clan. If this is mentioned openly, even cabinet ministers may object because of their own interests. But Emperor Chongzhen did not mention this at all, and only used superficial reasons to talk about things. Few people were aware of this hidden power grab.

In fact, the clan power is very powerful, even in later generations. Some great men in later generations also realized this and used movements to seize power. However, a few years later, the situation started to rise again. This is a long-term process and cannot be achieved overnight.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen's idea was to proceed step by step. The best result is to eventually split the clan into a family unit, but this kind of thing cannot be forced, only induced, and it is a long-term process.

After talking about the marriage law, Emperor Chongzhen said to the cabinet ministers: "The deadline for registering the population and checking the hidden households is coming soon. However, I took a look and estimated that there are still about 50 million people who have not been registered. I plan to and Like Taizu back then, he sent out troops to assist in the investigation. What do you think?"

During the Zhu Yuanzhang era, in order to investigate hidden households, the army was dispatched to assist in the investigation. Those who refuse to register will be treated directly as criminals.

Yinhu, to put it nicely, means opposing feudal oppression; but in reality, it is actually tax evasion and service evasion, which is something that the government of any era cannot tolerate.

Therefore, Wen Tiren and others naturally had no objections after hearing this.

They didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen was causing trouble again here.

Soon, the imperial decree was issued, and after the population registration time passed, another month would be given to pay for re-registration. And if they are not registered after one month, once they are discovered, they will be exiled to Liaodong, North Korea, Tian Province and other cold places. At the same time, if you accept the report, you can get half of the hidden household's wealth. At the same time, the court will also dispatch the army to assist in the investigation.

At the same time, at the Baigan Army camp stationed here in Ami Prefecture, Yunnan, Ma Xianglin was shooting arrows boredly.

"Amazing!"

From time to time, the guards would cheer loudly, but they were not flattering, because Ma Xianglin's arrows indeed hit the bull's-eye.

However, Ma Xianglin couldn't muster the energy. After shooting for a while, he threw the bow at the guard and said: "It's boring, let's go to the mountains!"

But at this moment, a call sounded: "Lin'er, come here!"

Ma Xianglin turned around to look, quickly walked over and saluted, "Mom, what are your orders?"

Qin Liangyu looked at his son, shook his head and said, "Lin'er, you seem to be a little depressed these days. You hunt and play every day. Now that the army has sufficient rations, have you slowed down the training of the soldiers?"

After hearing this, Ma Xianglin said a little boringly: "Mom, how long have we been here? The court seems to have forgotten us. There is no war around, so we don't need to practice every day, right?"

Nowadays, there is basically no opponent who can compete with Daming, at least not in the surrounding area. Mobei, Liaodong, Nanyang, etc. are all under the control of Ming Dynasty.

When Qin Liangyu heard this, he shook his head. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Ma Xianglin mutter again: "Mother said before that there will be a reward from the court soon, but there has been no movement for so long. Could it be that she is watching?" Are we of no use anymore?"

"Lin'er!" When Qin Liangyu heard this, he immediately shouted and said with a stern face, "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. You must remember that you only need to do your duty well. How can you worry about gains and losses?"

People like Ma Xianglin have no goals in life. To use a common saying, they are too idle to panic. This kind of thing usually happens among young people. Qin Liangyu also knew it, so he began to teach his son a lesson.

When their personal guards saw each other, they glanced at each other and could see the smile in each other's eyes, and then pretended to be wary and avoided it.

"Your Majesty is very generous, look at it, how many people in the past dynasties have been able to be knighted like my mother?" Qin Liangyu said earnestly, "Now that the world is at peace, this is the wisdom of your Majesty and the blessing of the people. As for me, the warriors, since We should be grateful for it, but we should not despise it for slacking off. The world..."

"Okay, okay!" Ma Xianglin had a headache and quickly admitted, "Mom, my child understands these principles. My child... my child..."

He rolled his eyes, trying to escape this disaster, and suddenly thought of something, and said quickly: "My child was just thinking, isn't the court clear about rewards and punishments? Why has it been more than a year since we went on an expedition? Why does it still ignore us? What’s the point of just leaving us here in Ami State?”

Who would have thought that it would be better if he didn't say this. As soon as he said this, Qin Liangyu immediately raised his eyebrows and said with a bit of hatred: "What I just said, did you turn a deaf ear to it? The imperial court has its own rules for doing things. What else do you need to worry about? Besides, during this expedition, were there any hard or tiring battles? You also got a lot of benefits from the Tang Dynasty King. What else do you want? For my mother..."

She was training when she suddenly heard movement in the distance. Ma Xianglin was being lectured next to him and looked over there boredly. He was startled and his face turned green. He ignored his mother's lecture and shouted quickly: "Madam, slow down!"

Qin Liangyu turned around and saw that it was his daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi running over here with excitement on her face.

At this time, Qin Liangyu no longer cared about training his son, and shouted quickly: "Why are you running, be careful of my grandson!"

Ma Xianglin had already rushed over and held Zhang Fengyi to prevent her from running away. At the same time, he said: "Crazy, what is the reason for you to be so crazy? Be careful about our children!"

It was too boring to be stationed in Ami Province, but accidentally, Zhang Fengyi got pregnant. Although her belly wasn’t showing much at this time, she had a strong pregnancy reaction and a doctor diagnosed her as pregnant.

This news made Qin Liangyu very happy. The whole family cherished it and waited for the birth of a new life.

Zhang Fengyi looked at her mother-in-law who came over very excitedly. She didn't care that her mother-in-law seemed to want to lecture her, and said happily: "Mother-in-law, your majesty has just decreed that our Baigan Army will return to our hometown to rest and recuperate from now on. We will also grant her mother-in-law the title of Zhonglie Marquis and be promoted to Marquis of Zhonglie. The Left Governor of the Right Army Governor's Mansion does not have to go to the capital for the time being and will be in charge of the southwest. "

When Ma Xianglin heard this, his eyes suddenly opened wide, looking a little unbelievable. Unknowingly, he grabbed his wife's hand harder and confirmed: "Mother has been named Zhonglie Marquis? Or is it the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army? Governor Zuo? A first-grade official title?"

Zhang Fengyi nodded and said excitedly: "Yes, so as soon as I heard the news, I quickly came to tell my mother-in-law that she knew!"

It is very rare for a woman to be knighted for her military exploits. Being made a count before was beyond the expectations of many people. Nowadays, he has been granted the title of Marquis. As the saying goes, to be granted the title of Marquis and to become a general is the ultimate dream pursued by a warrior. But Qin Liangyu, as a woman, has actually achieved it!

In the original history, Qin Liangyu was also granted the title of Marquis, but that was granted by the Southern Ming Dynasty. At that time in Nanming, the titles of Ming Dynasty had been awarded all over the place, and they were no longer valuable or rare.

At this time, the title of Ming Dynasty was still very valuable and rare. Qi Jiguang, the God of War, must be awesome, but he didn't receive any title at that time.

Because, when Qin Liangyu heard that he had been made a marquis, his eyes widened in surprise. He even forgot that he came over because he originally wanted to talk to his daughter-in-law about being careful about the fetus.

Seeing his normally calm mother standing there in a daze, Ma Xianglin didn't care at all, but said very excitedly: "Mom, you are a Marquis, Marquis Zhonglie, haha, Marquis Zhonglie!"

After a long time, Qin Liangyu came back to his senses. When he was excited, he suddenly said to Zhang Fengyi: "You can tell the emperor on my behalf, how virtuous and capable I am. I am so kind to the emperor. I feel guilty and I really don't deserve it!"

Hearing her words, Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi couldn't help being stunned. They couldn't understand why their mother didn't want to accept it. This is what countless people dream of!

But they knew what Qin Liangyu was like, and since she said so, they could only do what she said.

Zhang Fengyi looked at her husband, then turned to Qin Liangyu and said, "Mother-in-law, wait a moment!"

This news was only notified in advance through the chat group, and the imperial edict had not been officially received, so it was not considered disobedience.

After a while, Zhang Fengyi came back to her senses, with a smile on her face, and said to Qin Liangyu: "The emperor said that he knows my mother-in-law's loyalty to the country. As long as the court orders, she will have no complaints. Implement it seriously. He has seen the performance of this expedition for more than a year, fighting for the Ming Dynasty in the north and south. A loyal and good mother-in-law should set an example for the world's warriors. At the same time, she can also declare to the world that women are not You will not do worse than a man! You deserve this reward!"

Having said this, she turned to look at her husband and said with the same smile: "The emperor also said that from now on, my mother-in-law will be the governor of the right army and the left governor of the palace. The white army will be led by her husband. She must perform well and strive for a victory." A double noble family!"

"What, the emperor really said that?" Upon hearing this, Ma Xianglin opened his eyes wide and confirmed in surprise.

Zhang Fengyi nodded and said with a smile on her face: "How dare I say this nonsense?"

When Ma Xianglin heard this, he couldn't help laughing. Because the emperor's words revealed a message that as long as he worked hard, he would have hope of becoming a knight in the future!

Qin Liangyu looked at his son and daughter-in-law with a smile. After a while, he asked his daughter-in-law, "Did the emperor say anything else?"

Generally speaking, since she was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army and the Left, and it didn't sound like she was in vain and she was staying in Xichuan, there must be something going on, so she asked.

The Right Army Dudufu of the Ming Dynasty, led the Yunnan Dusi, Guizhou Dusi, Sichuan Dusi, Shaanxi Dusi, Guangxi Dusi and the guard posts they led, as well as the Zhili Xuanzhou Guard, Shaanxi Xingdusi led the guard posts, and the Sichuan Dusi territorial officer Tianquan Sixth Recruitment Division and others, the Sichuan Xingdu Division's leading guard station had a lawsuit with the local official Changchang Governor, and Yunnan Dusi and Guizhou Dusi's territorial official Chashan had a lawsuit and a new chief official, etc. It is equivalent to commanding the entire southwestern army of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the Governor's Mansion only has the power to command troops, and the power to mobilize troops is still in the hands of the Ministry of War. But it is obvious that Qin Liangyu, as the commander-in-chief of the left army in Sichuan, must have something to do.

Thanks to Ziqing Yurong and Yuchu Rouqing for the reward!
