First Prince of Ming Dynasty

It can be predicted that after Wang Yu came to power, the aristocratic family who successfully defeated Xin Tun will further regain the land and farm slaves lost due to Xin Tun's policy. The good people who go down will hate the nobles of Korea and many ministers of the two classes.

At that time, Jiang Side and the Korean officials under Yao Guangxiao should at least have some actual power. If it goes well, Zhu Biao will use Li Chenggui to control the 20,000 elite cavalry in Korea.

If all the plans go well, the aristocratic family will find in the end that they have lost the command of all troops, and what they hold tightly in their hands are only the political power, countless gold and silver treasures, and vain land and farms.

The aristocratic adults who have mastered the wealth and power in the country will find that they are powerless to suppress any rebellious untouchables along the way. They can command no one except their own servants.

By that time, it would be too late for the aristocratic family to regret it. Zhu Biao fueled the flames by releasing evidence that Wang Yu was the son of Xin Tun, and then asked Tang Ding to send a wave of Japanese pirates to fuel their fire. Under internal and external troubles, the country fell. And it was their people who destroyed it themselves.

What Zhu Biao wanted was not only the throne of Goryeo, it was actually not that difficult. Wang Yu’s status was problematic, and even Wang Zhuan, King of Gongmin, was not justified. Compromise, he and Wang Rui's son will be fully qualified to inherit the throne of Goryeo in the future, who will be of Zhu Ming blood and Wang Gao blood.

But if you do that, you will just send a puppet. The authority of the noble family of Korea has crossed the line. From the fact that Wang Xuan can take over the position this time, it can be seen that even when the Empress Dowager Mingde and other Korean clans are opposed For King Goryeo.

It can be seen how outdated the royal power is, it's a joke. Although his and Wang Rui's children are not his legitimate sons, Zhu Biao doesn't want him to be someone else's marionette.

What's more, since he spent so much energy to occupy Goryeo, Zhu Biao naturally hopes that he can develop and feed back to Ming Dynasty in the future, so it is necessary to ease the social conflicts, return the fields and manors occupied by the aristocratic families to the people of Goryeo, and encourage them Carry out commercial handicrafts and other matters.

Zhu Biao leaned on the back of the chair and talked with his father for a long time. Old Zhu couldn't deny it. He obviously didn't have much interest in Goryeo. The reason he kept listening was just to see his son's overall situation.

For people with traditional concepts like Zhu Yuanzhang, Daming is the center of the world, and the rest of the land is barbarian land, and it is useless to spend energy to fight it down. Just like the Mongolian Yuan, it is big and cannot be governed.

It was late at night, and they had finished talking. Zhu Biao bid farewell to his father and returned to the East Palace, while Lao Zhu was too lazy to move, and went to sleep directly in Jinshen Hall.

In the next month or so, apart from discussing the situation of the northern army in the morning, Zhu Biao welcomed Li Yan from the Li family and Chen Yunqing from the Chen family. Only then did the prince's harem get a little bigger.

As for Wang Rui, she is even more quiet. Apart from greeting the princess, she reads, writes, and enjoys paintings in the house. At most, she plays chess with the maid, and treats Zhu Biao with the same humility as always.

Now that Chang Luohua has a son, everything is fulfilled, and he doesn't bother to take care of these three talented people at all. He is quite generous to the three of them, and he bestows on them a lot of jewelry made inside, just like a qualified regular wife.

As for the two children, although they were born under the moon, it was winter after all, and the sky was cold and the wind was howling. Although Lao Zhu and Empress Ma both missed their grandchildren, they were reluctant to toss their children back and forth in this winter, so they didn't see them much.

Especially Lao Zhu, Empress Ma can visit the East Palace in person every now and then, teasing with each other for a while, but Lao Zhu is not easy to visit, just like Zhu Biao will not easily enter the harem now, entering the harem will also allow Liu Jin to clear the way in advance , to let his father's concubines back away, it is not easy for Lao Zhu to let his daughter-in-law back away.

Therefore, if Lao Zhu wanted to enjoy family happiness, he would have to wait until the beginning of spring before he could often take his two grandchildren to play with him. At that time, the children would be as delicate as they are now.

Recently, there have been a lot of big and small things in the imperial court. For example, the imperial envoy who inspected the Beijing camp said in a statement, "Some of the officers and men who live in the capital guards pay for drinking in their spare time, and some of the guards on duty even drink so that they are in a trance and neglect their duties."

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the generals who had watched the excitement for a long time turned black. After glaring at the censor fiercely for a few times, they knelt down to plead guilty. What the soldiers bought must have been brewed privately.

Lao Zhu himself actually likes to drink very much, but in this era wine making needs to consume a large amount of pure grain. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the common people could not even afford rations, but merchants were still making wine wantonly.

So Zhu Yuanzhang issued a ban on alcohol as early as when he was conquering the world. First, it was because of food consumption, and second, he was afraid that the generals would make mistakes by drinking.

At the beginning, no one dared to violate Lao Zhu's military orders, and the same was true for the state capital under his rule. The merchant families were afraid of ruining their families, but after a long time, some people became tempted. As the saying goes, rare things are precious.

The stricter the prohibition on alcohol, the higher the price of alcohol. Once brewing, the benefits can be imagined, so the merchants hooked up with Hu Sanshe, the son of Hu Dahai, and the boy was also greedy for profit.

The business is getting more and more prosperous, so it is impossible to escape Lao Zhu's eyes. At that time, Hu Dahai was the marshal of the right-wing army, and he was only a head lower than Xu Da in the army. The heart of a general.

In fact, it was true. At that time, Hu Dahai commanded troops to guard the important land of Ningyue. If he mutinied or took refuge in Chen Youliang and other forces, big trouble would happen. However, Lao Zhu still insisted on using military law to kill Hu Sanshe and those merchants who collude with him.

In this way, no one dared to violate the prohibition order, and it was not relaxed until the world was about to settle down, but at least on the surface, only the imperial court and government-run restaurants could brew some alcohol as appropriate.

Since the second year of Hongwu, after the people in the south gradually settled down, the trend of private wine brewing has risen again. Zhu Biao has heard the reputation of Qiulubai, Sanbaijiu, Shenqujiu, Panzijiu, Baiyangpijiu and other wines.

It doesn't matter how this kind of thing is in secret, but once it is brought to the bright side, it's hard to turn a blind eye and close one eye. Lao Zhu first reprimanded those noble generals in the Beijing camp for being upright and down. The stick reprimanded a few, and then ordered the officials of the Ministry of War to thoroughly investigate the Beijing camp.

After understanding the meaning of the emperor, the Ministry of Education ordered all the prefectures and counties to crack down on the workshops of private brewing water, and then reiterated that diligence and thrift are the foundation of life, and luxury is the source of mourning. As local officials, you are addicted to addiction I don't know how much it costs to get drunk, but with limited funds to pay for insatiable expenses, how can there be no shortage of years?

However, beating is all about beating, and things like private wine brewing will inevitably increase as the people in the south get richer in food production. Now the imperial court is not easy to take care of it, and it is estimated that it will be unsealed next year.

In addition to this matter, Zhu Biao agreed with the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of War on the preferential payment of officers and soldiers. For those who have no children to inherit military positions, and those who have parents or wives, the full salary will be halved after three years. Younger children will also be given the basic salary as soon as they take up their posts...

Daming still gave preferential treatment and pensions to the families of sergeants. After all, in troubled times, this is especially important to unite people's hearts and stabilize morale.

Reports of the battle in the north were frequently reported. Although they were defending the city, Ye Sudieer's offensive was quite crazy, and he didn't care about casualties at all. As a result, those herdsmen also caused quite a lot of casualties to Daming.

This group of casualties will enjoy the policy, the imperial court will order the local government to put it in place, and Zhu Biao will also make arrangements. It is said that the imperial power will not go to the countryside, and this time is also an opportunity for experimentation.

Moreover, Zhu Biao intends to arrange the wounded soldiers to serve in other places, not necessarily in the guards, nor does he have to have any authority, just to see how much the gentry resist the imperial policy, so that Zhu Biao can take the next step arrange.

In fact, Zhu Biao still has a lot of plans, but now the military system is not easy to move, there are hidden dangers in the east, west, north and south of the Ming Dynasty, and the military system affects the whole body. Once the military power is damaged, the subsequent problems will be too serious. So Zhu Biao can only continue to seek stability.
