Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have returned to the day when he had just been enfeoffed to Yunnan Prefecture: when the weather was good, he went out for a walk and then returned to the royal prefecture. Most of the lifestyles were like this.
But it seems very different, probably because of a different state of mind.
Back then, he was unable to take his own initiative in many things, and it depends on his attitude to the emperor and the court, but his worries were not as good as those.Now it's the opposite.
Zhu Gaoxu left the school ground and returned to the study in the front hall. He was used to doing things here, and he was also comfortable to place many things.
Walking in through the carved wooden door, there is a mahogany rectangular desk in the middle, and a chair with a futon in the back.There are also some round stools with different heights and a round table in front of the book case.
On the east side, there is a row of wooden windows with light gray gauze curtains. It is facing the corridor courtyard over there, and you can see the flowers, plants and trees planted in the small yard.There is also a door to the west, and there is a storage room without windows inside.
In addition, against the wall, there were several large bookshelfs, with all kinds of books, files, antiques and porcelain placed on them.
However, most of the books placed on it are not read by Zhu Gaoxu, and he will only read the books on it when there is nothing to do.
Almost a decoration.
In the afternoon, Mr. Li came in with a stack of official documents, and he piled up the things on the desk.
Zhu Gaoxu made a gesture with his head, and Mr. Li bowed his fists and sat down on the stool in front of the desk.
Mr. Li, wearing an iron mask, looked a little weird.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and said: In the morning, I went to see the "Cleaning Mountain Gun" reported by Nansi. The lethality of the mountain-opening gun is no different from that of the bronze muskets in the army, but thanks to the ability to aim with both hands, the accuracy should be improved. In time, letting the bureaus and courts create more mountain-opening guns, and then waiting for the firearms and weapons to be familiar with them, it will definitely be of great benefit to the chances of winning in the next battle.
Mr. Li was wearing a mask, and except for his eyes and expressions, he pondered: The official estimates that the number of soldiers of the King of Han has exceeded 300,000.According to the decree issued by the prince at the beginning of his reprimand, all troops affiliated with the Han Palace will receive the rated military salary value every month when marching and fighting.Now the situation is tense, so the soldiers cannot be allowed to farm; we pay military salaries at most 300,000 yuan a month!
The income of the treasury in the three southwest provinces has a huge difference in revenue and expenditure, and may not be maintained for a long time.It was originally expected to last for one or two years, but now it is definitely not possible.
Zhu Gaoxu asked: How long can it last?
Mr. Li said: Only after the report from the Sichuan Provincial Administration and Guizhou Municipal Government will the Changshi Mansion be calculated.But I only need to estimate that I think it can last for several months at most. In less than half a year, we will definitely not be able to pay a penny of military pay!
Zhu Gaoxu fell silent.
He can't blame Mr. Li, as Mr. Li reminded him at the beginning.
At that time, Mr. Li proposed a solution: when he could not continue, he could only turn against him.
But the war is far from over now, and Zhu Gaoxu has not gained the advantage of the battlefield. He dared not do that, for fear that it would shake the morale of the army.
The military pay law undoubtedly played a great role when it first started.
The laws were very simple and effective, and the combat effectiveness and loyalty of the Han King Army increased greatly, and it was also very easy to reorganize and surrender troops; most of the military and Chinese were illiterate, but they knew whether there were any benefits.
At that time, the Han Wang Army was weak and had little chance of winning. Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about the long-term, so he could only try every means to avoid an immediate fall.
This method is undoubtedly a way to quench thirst.It is in line with the old saying: Without long-term thinking, there will be immediate worries.
The military pay per year requires 3.6 million guan. Including military supplies, it is impossible for Zhu Gaoxu to get so much money and materials through the three southwestern provinces.
Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to steal the landlords because he was not the kind of identity of Li Zicheng.
He was the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the subjects from all over the country had a great sense of recognition. In addition to his illusory status, he was also because gentry, military generals, and landlords believed in him... As the largest landlord in the Ming Dynasty, the Zhu family should protect everyone's interests.
Is there a way to solve it?Zhu Gaoxu asked.
Mr. Li hesitated and thought of a way.However, Xiaguan had never been in charge of affairs in the Ministry of Revenue before, and there was only so many people in the southwest. The military expenditure was too great, so it was difficult for Xiaguan to find a solution from the root.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded thoughtfully and thought to himself: No one is a god, and it is indeed difficult to have a clever plan for some things.
He thought hard for a long time, couldn't help but temptation, and thought of another way: only a gamble?
But Zhu Gaoxu finally didn't say it out loud, and he hadn't considered it clearly.
Mr. Li took out another letter from a pile of documents: The letter from the rebel Chen Jikuo of the Jiaozhi governor, and the envoy arrived in Kunming City after a few days.
oh?Zhu Gaoxu immediately picked it up and looked at it.
Mr. Li said in his voice: This Chen Jikuo may not have really taken power, but was actually supported by a group of local rebel leaders in Jiaozhi; he may not necessarily have the surname Chen, but just to borrow the title of the Chen family's royal family.
Chen Jikuo had established the country and called himself the Emperor, and changed his reign to Chongguang.
He had previously sent people to hope that the imperial court in the capital would designate him as the "King of Yue Kingdom", but the imperial court refused and transferred tens of thousands of remnants of Guizhou Army to reinforce the Shenglong area.
The capital is now working hard to deal with the prince and has no time to mobilize troops to quell the Jiaozhi rebellion.
According to recent news, the officials speculated that the monarch and ministers of the capital wanted to keep Shenglong's fertile land near Zuobao, hold on for a period of time, and then dispatch large troops to quell the rebellion.
Chen Jikuo and others should have guessed the intention of the capital court, so they sent people to Kunming, hoping to get the recognition of the King of Han.In order to seize some opportunities, we hope that the prince will defeat him in the future.
I understand that.Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
Mr. Li said: Jiaozhi Province is a place where the territory was opened when the late emperor was in power. If the prince gave it to the Jiaozhi rebels, it would be equivalent to defeating the ancestral property. It would be extremely unfavorable to the Han Palace when it was reported.However, this matter depends on how much benefit Chen Jikuo can give.The benefit is not great, so the subordinate advised the prince to refuse flatly; the benefit is great, so he agreed first, and then he would regret it after the prince took charge of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Gaoxu understood what Mr. Li meant. Mr. Li just said it very directly and simply, but in practice, he usually had to find excuses to blame others for his mistakes, such as the other party being disrespectful and unjustly courtesy.
Let’s talk about it after seeing the messenger.Zhu Gaoxu said.
Mr. Li took out another official document with paper pasted. This was a report from the officials of the "Da Ming City". Meng Yang Tusi Si's family heard about the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty and raised an army to capture and annex multiple villages, and their strength was growing.The Diao family was unable to control it, and the Ming army was too small to control the situation.
Zhu Gaoxu said: Ask the Changshi Mansion and Yunnan Dusi to send someone to talk to Si.If there is no talk, I will evacuate the Han military merchants in the "Da Ming City" in advance to avoid being persecuted by the natives.After the war of fighting against sin ends, I will dispatch troops to Sishi to talk to him.
Mr. Li said: It’s so good, the subordinates will retire.
Zhu Gaoxu sat in the study, reading the report while pondering everything.After the You hour, he left the front hall and headed towards the harem.
Zhu Gaoxu has been leaving Yunnan for several months. After he comes back, he takes turns to let Guo Wei and the two women of Mrs. Feng sleep with them every night.
The one he accompanied most was Guo Wei. Guo Wei's family had just been imprisoned and had a very bad mood.
However, Zhu Gaoxu did not return to the bedroom tonight and went straight to where Du Qianrui lived.
Du Qianrui was also surprised. After hearing this, she walked to the door and Zhu Gaoxu had already walked into the yard.
Her white hands held the door frame and looked at Zhu Gaoxu happily. After a while, she came to her senses and made a happy wish.
Zhu Gaoxu held her tenderness and held her back, and immediately found oil on her wrist.
Du Qianrui said: The jade bracelet that the prince gave me was afraid that it would be damaged at night, so I took it off, but it was not easy to take it.
I'll give you a slightly larger one in the future.Zhu Gaoxu said.
He walked into the room and saw a jade bracelet on the dressing table, with a soft towel underneath, and a silk handkerchief wiping the jade bracelet next to it.
When Zhu Gaoxu saw the scene, he immediately felt that the jade bracelet was very precious.
No matter how valuable it is, it seems precious to be treated like this.
Du Qianrui was busy in the room and after making tea for Zhu Gaoxu, she did not forget to remind her carefully.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at her petite and convex body and felt very happy when he listened to the gentle words.
The troubles during the day were cured for a moment.
Zhu Gaoxu recalled Du Qianrui's petite and softness. The contrast between the two made him feel that he was extra strong, and the gentle voice in his ears was also beautiful.
He is a prince, and he could not have considered other people's feelings.
But somehow, whenever he sees others satisfied with him, he will in turn feel a sense of satisfaction.
Perhaps because he was strictly regulated when he was a child, and if his parents were dissatisfied, he would be severely punished. Over time, he got used to it. However, what he did when he grew up was very extraordinary and seemed to be a rebound.
Zhu Gaoxu called Du Qianrui and said: I have something, I want to ask Qianrui to help me do it.
Du Qianrui turned around and smiled with a pursed lips, "The prince will give me instructions."
Zhu Gaoxu said: Didn’t King Ning write a play for Qianrui?You find time to copy a playbook and write a few words to thank King Ning.I asked someone to send it to Jiangxi as a gift.
Du Qianrui thought for a while, as if she was thinking about how many words there were in the playbook. She said: The morning after tomorrow, I asked me to send it to the study in the front hall.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and asked in a casual tone: Does Yao Ji seem to have a good relationship with the princess?
Not.Du Qianrui said lightly, strangely, Mrs. Yao is tough and unyielding. When she was in the capital, she didn't deal with the princess very much.But somehow, when we went to Dali, Mrs. Yao and the princess were as good as sisters.
Zhu Gaoxu responded and stopped asking.But he was at least sure that he observed that the two women were very close, not an illusion, but that was indeed the case.
But it seems very different, probably because of a different state of mind.
Back then, he was unable to take his own initiative in many things, and it depends on his attitude to the emperor and the court, but his worries were not as good as those.Now it's the opposite.
