Chapter 488 A Ming Dynasty is all about the king and the people
Hou Yuzhao did not have the destiny to be an official. He drank a lot of wine and wrote the memorial for more than half an hour, and the hour passed in one sleep.
Shouldn’t you drink? In fact, it's okay. On a winter day when even bears couldn't get out of their holes, Hou Yuzhao and Li Chengliang drank until they were extremely drunk, but he didn't delay the next day. He was a good drinker. This time it wasn't about drinking, but about what was in his heart. The knot that couldn't be untied no matter what, was finally untied, so I felt relieved and so relaxed.
Hou Yuzhao also wanted to make progress. How could anyone not want to make progress as an official in the Ming Dynasty? It would be fine if there was no chance. His Majesty had already appointed him, but he made a mistake on something he shouldn't have done and missed the moment to meet the Holy Spirit.
Hou Yuzhao felt weak in his hands and feet, and a layer of cold sweat rose on his forehead and back. He put on his clothes tremblingly, and opened the door. A eunuch in a big red robe stood in front of the door. Write a few stories.
This is to arrest someone! Hou Yuzhao wailed in his heart, it's over, it's all over.
The eunuch of Dahongpao is named Tian Fuju. He is the eunuch of the Bureau of Literary Affairs and one of the martial arts training partners of the Ming Dynasty. When Tian Fuju saw Hou Yuzhao waking up, he said with a somewhat teasing smile: "Governor Hou, are you awake?"
"Oh, I'm awake." Hou Yu Zhao and Tian Fuju greeted each other, and he said with an annoyed look on his face.
"Before the court meeting today, His Majesty asked our family to come over. We saw that the Governor Hou was still sleeping soundly, so no one disturbed him." Tian Fuju talked about why Hou Yu Zhao overslept.
Hou Yuzhao was not alone in Beijing. He had slept with him, but the master had also slept with him? The master has slept, could it be that the scribe has slept too? So someone stopped him, and this person was Tian Fuju.
In fact, it was His Majesty’s order.
Wang Qian met Hou Yuzhao by chance. Hou Yuzhao returned to Huitongguanyi very drunk. After Zhu Yijun found out, in order to avoid the problem of Hou Yuzhao's misconduct in front of the emperor, Zhu Yijun asked Tian Fu to come. Love Just sleep when you sleep, and it's not too late to start working again after you wake up. You have been working outside the Great Wall for almost ten years, and it's time to take a rest.
Of course Zhu Yijun knew that Hou Yuzhao was drunk. Taibai Tower was the property of Huangzhuang, Huitongguanyi was also the yamen of the Ming Dynasty, and Hou Yuzhao, who was about to be the governor, was even more eye-catching.
When Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to come out, Zhu Yijun still had the basic qualities of an emperor, namely, visiting the thatched cottage three times and being a courtesy corporal.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Hou Yuzhao was not stupid. After he figured out the key, he hurriedly thanked him.
"Since Governor Hou is awake, let's accept the edict." Tian Fuju gestured to the small yellow door to open the edict, and he finished reading the edict in a mellow tone.
In the imperial edict, Zhu Yijun did not hesitate to praise him. He counted the achievements of Hou Yu Zhao one by one, and then announced that Hou Yu Zhao would patrol Liaodong as the right minister of the Ministry of War and still be in charge of all matters in Liaodong.
Zhu Yijun: Life? What is that? I, the emperor, have the final say on matters in this world! If you are asked to be the governor, you are the governor!
After Hou Yuzhao took a bath and changed his clothes, he finally came to his senses. After changing into court clothes and making sure that there was no problem with the etiquette, he got into his car and hurried to the imperial study room of Tonghe Palace. On the way, Hou Yuzhao took the memorial he wrote yesterday after drinking and read it for a long time.
Judging from the handwriting, this is indeed his own handwriting, but from the content, it is a bit strange no matter how you look at it. It is not that there is any treacherous statement, but that its structure is complete, the logic is clear and meticulous , with beginning and end, can be presented directly to the emperor.
Most of the memorials submitted to the emperor were not written in one sitting. After the first draft was completed, they were copied and annotated the second time, picking out typos and changing some unclear sentences, and then the third time. Transcript.
So when the emperor received a memorial with typos, it proved that the minister had no reverence and did not even check for typos.
Zhu Yijun was fishing in Longchi. After having lunch, he was supposed to go to the capital camp to parade the military horses, but Hou Yuzhao was coming, so Zhu Yijun planned to delay for a while. Tian Fuju and His Majesty whispered twice, and Zhu Yijun signaled Zhang Hong passed a table of dishes to the imperial dining room.
Hou Yuzhao was in such a hurry to meet the saint that he didn’t even eat. This is what Tian Fuju told the emperor. He drank a lot of wine and slept until midnight. He didn’t even eat anything and hurried to meet the saint. Hou Yuzhao hurried to meet the saint. Never say loyalty, but it is written full of loyalty.
"I love you, please eat and let me take a look at your memorial." Zhu Yijun motioned to Hou Yuzhao to go to dinner. He opened the memorial and read it carefully. He noticed the edge in it after reading it for the first time. It took the second time to fully understand Hou Yuzhao's thoughts.
Zhu Yijun was still fishing, but Zhang Hong knew very well that His Majesty’s mind was no longer on the fish. The float had sunk to the bottom and the fishing rod was bent. His Majesty did not notice it, but was trapped in it. In thinking.
Hou Yuzhao ate at a fast pace. He finished his meal as fast as possible, wiped his mouth clean and rinsed it, and then hurried to the edge of the dragon pond.
Actually, Hou Yuzhao didn’t know the emperor at all. When he was in the capital, his majesty was young, and the most he could do was look at him from a distance. He met him last time when he returned to the capital, and he never saw him again. .
"Aiqing is really loyal to the emperor and the country." Zhu Yijun looked at Hou Yuzhao who was very worried and motioned for him to sit down and talk.
Hou Yuzhao's loyalty to the emperor and the country is his passivity. Loyalty to the emperor and the country is not something that needs to be thought about, so he goes against the grain. Therefore, the starting point for thinking about problems is the country. The interests of the dynasty, but Hou Yuzhao seemed to have never thought about this kind of thing, everything was so natural.
The whole memorial begins with the king of Xia and the people of Yi. Xia people are kings and Yi people are common people. "Yizhou Shu·Mingtang" says: Outside Wang Ji, every five hundred miles is a division, there are nine in total, and the seventh is Yifu. Therefore, the Duke of Zhou and the King of Wu defeated Zhou and conquered the world.
This method has been used all the time. For example, during the Warring States Period, the princes organized the barbarians into households to serve as people when they were reclaiming wasteland and farming, and as soldiers when they went to war. This practice continued until the Han Dynasty, and there were still a large number of people during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Bring the savages into uniform households.
Hou Yu Zhao first discussed history, and then discussed the present. Today, the methods of the past cannot be used anymore, because these people are no longer the savages of the past. Some tribes have already achieved the glory of their ancestors, and even some tribes have the glory of their ancestors. There is a general consensus on writing, and a simple unified household system will deliberately create conflicts, which can easily lead to turmoil on both sides. These people who have a common understanding will become a factor of instability.
Hou Yuzhao’s method was to create a consensus. In the Ming Dynasty, everyone was the king and the people.
With a higher consensus, weaken and then collapse their own consensus, and finally complete the enlightenment.
Hou Yuzhao believes that distinguishing the border people by tribes such as Beibei, Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen, Savage Jurchen, and Waikarkha will ultimately lead to only one result, and the border will gradually lose control, because as long as If their consensus does not collapse, then there will inevitably be turmoil surrounding these consensuses.
The glory of Beilu, isn't it Hu Yuan's taking over the Central Plains? It would be harmful to the Ming Dynasty to allow them to maintain such a consensus. Does maintaining such a consensus make sense to the Tatars? Maintaining such a consensus is a historical burden for the Tatars. They can only continue to confront the Central Plains and resist Wang Hua. This is also painful for the Tatars who are completely dependent on the Central Plains to maintain their lives.
Hou Yuzhao’s idea is that it is a discussion that is higher than the Huayi debate and a thinking based on the freedom and equality of the Songjiang School.
"Qi Shuai conquered Bansheng to regain Hetao, Li Chengliang expanded territory in eastern Liaodong, the Duke of Guizhou and Liu Wei competed with Taungu in the southwest, the national surname Zhengmao was in Luzon, and Xu Wei was in Nagasaki. These They are all areas for development. The method proposed by Aiqing is good." Zhu Yijun looked at Hou Yuzhao and asked curiously: "How did you come up with it?"
Hou Yuzhao's method is realistic. It is of guiding significance and can be widely used. This is Hou Yuzhao's passivity.
The Ming Dynasty was attacking and opening up in all directions. What to do with these border residents in these newly opened lands was the top priority before them. Previously, they were only generally called border residents.
"I met Lin Fucheng on the way to the bookstore and chatted for a few words." Hou Yuzhao chose to tell the truth. Lin Fucheng's words gave him great inspiration.
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "Ai Qing has been practicing in Daningwei and Liaodong for many years, and what he has achieved is that his words just punctured the layer of window paper, Ai Qing is still powerful. ”
A big and thorny problem was solved as soon as I returned to the DPRK.
Lin Fucheng is not a god. He even said that he himself did not understand the word equality. Of course, it has a role. It is just that Hou Yuzhao condensed many years of practical experience together.
Hou Yuzhao said very modestly: "It's just an old wisdom picked up from others' teeth. I have said so many things, that is, the land under the sky is not the king's soil, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers."
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and shook his head and said: "No, it's still different. What you mean is that there are people in the world. It's not that I don't study. I can still distinguish the concepts of king, earth, king, minister, king and people. ”
What problem did Hou Yuzhao solve that deserves Zhu Yijun’s praise?
Wan Shihe said that barbarians have wolf-like faces and beast-like hearts, and are fearful of power but not virtuous. Translation: The barbarians are not honest. The more merciful they are, the more they kick their noses in the face. They must be beaten before they can stand up. rule.
But Wan Shihe discussed the issue based on the Huayi debate system, and what kind of rules should be established after the fight was not resolved.
The Ming Dynasty had done it before. Qi Jiguang really led his troops to fight, and the people of the grassland were convinced by the beating. Even the Wala people marched westward with their tail between their legs.
Hou Yuzhao's memorial is to solve this problem of what rules to establish, systematically puts forward opinions on shaping a new consensus, and gives specific implementation measures and standards.
Changing Chinese surnames, using Chinese characters, using Han scripts, and using Ming etiquette are the specific measures taken by fellow Ming people.
After Hou Yuzhao and His Majesty had a very in-depth communication about this untitled memorial, Zhu Yijun picked up the ink pen and wrote "Beishan New Treatise" in the spring breeze, which is known all over the world. The concept of kings of soil and kings was proposed by Beishan in the Book of Songs, so the concept of people under the universe was proposed by Hou Yuzhao, so it is called Beishan New Theory.
Hou Yuzhao felt that His Majesty’s understanding was wrong and misinterpreted his meaning. His original meaning was: All the people in the world are His Majesty’s subjects. Your Majesty is the only sky and should be the only one in the universe. Could it be the king's people, not the people? There is only one word difference, but the fundamental consciousness is completely different.
But Hou Yuzhao made the mistake first. He could sleep even when he was facing the emperor. He was somewhat lacking in confidence. Moreover, Hou Yuzhao didn’t know how to persuade His Majesty. He thought for a moment and asked: "Your Majesty. , How should this people be characterized? I think it is easier for Wang Min to implement it. "
"In practice, Wang Min is more useful." Zhu Yijun admitted that he was somewhat idealistic. In practice, Wang Min was more effective. People is the best solution, but the word people is more like the illusion of Fantasyland and Utopia.
Zhu Yijun explained: "The people can be characterized, that is, all individuals, classes, and collectives that agree, support, and actually participate in the construction of the Ming Dynasty belong to this category."
"The people are loyal to the emperor and the country." Hou Yuzhao suddenly said in conclusion.
It is indeed very difficult to expect everyone in the Ming Dynasty to be loyal to the emperor and the country. It is just like the Confucian world, as long as everyone has virtue, the world will be unified. It is equally unrealistic, and the king and the people are more unrealistic. It is a kind of surrender, which can only be recognized by force, general trend, law, public order and good customs. This is more realistic.
"Let this be the case, and I won't change it." Although Zhu Yijun admitted that he was unrealistic, he still didn't want to change it. This term was not coined by Zhu Yijun. It was the word "Zhi'er people" in "The Book of Songs, Daya, and Yi". I sincerely Erhou Du, use Jie not to worry, which means that the princes should arrange the people who support you, abide by the law and not be willful, in order to prevent disaster from happening suddenly.
"Then we won't change it." Hou Yuzhao also felt that there was nothing that needed to be corrected. Anyway, in terms of execution, it was still the king, the people, and the king who made the surrender. Hou Yuzhao told the emperor interesting things about Liaodong. This was a novel experience for Zhu Yijun, who lived deep in the palace and was bound to the throne. He needed to sit on the throne and the golden toilet to suppress dissidents. The four evil gods of space.
"Li Chengliang calls people cows and horses?" Zhu Yijun raised an eyebrow.
Hou Yuzhao nodded and said: "Yes, at least Ningyuan Hou did not treat people as trivial, which is already very good in the eyes of the minister."
The cattle and horses have to be given fodder, and they are trampled. When you are sick, you need to be comforted. When you are sick, you need to see a doctor. When you need to reproduce, you need to be paired up. Treating people as nothing but grass is the despicable behavior of carnivores. Treating people like cattle and horses is already a problem in Hou Yuzhao's eyes. It's mercy.
Zhu Yijun then realized that this metaphor had already been used in the Ming Dynasty, using cows and horses as a metaphor for people who were forced to do hard labor by others in life.
Would it be better for the people to be grassroots or cattle and horses? Zhu Yijun couldn't tell, but at least the cattle and horses could still get fodder.
Hou Yuzhao left the palace, thankful that he survived the catastrophe and did not go to the court on time. Not only did he not incur the emperor's thunderous wrath, but he also had a meal in the palace, which would last for several years for him and Li Chengliang. It's awesome, and my memorial has attracted His Majesty's attention. His Majesty personally named the memorial and gave it annotations.
Hou Yuzhao was very aware that his holy relatives were prosperous, but he just realized that it had no influence on him. In fact, he was not very good at using these holy relatives to form cliques for personal gain? Usaging authority? Doing evil? It seems not as interesting as cultivating wasteland.
After receiving new official uniforms and seals from the staff, and collecting the emperor's reward from the emperor to Li Chengliang in his internal funds, Hou Yuzhao happily returned to Liaodong to continue reclaiming wasteland. What he had to do was no different from the past, which was to hoe the earth. , he doesn’t think that gaining the Holy Family has brought more changes to his life.
Hou Yuzhao felt that it was right, because he had always been the holy family in Long before, but he just didn't realize it.
Wang Chonggu was very envious of Hou Yuzhao's holy family. Of course, he also agreed with His Majesty's kindness, because for Hou Yuzhao, a person like Hou Yuzhao would not be able to do anything with it. Yu Zhao is actually the epitome of many Xunli officials in the Ming Dynasty. He doesn't have so many ambitions, he just does things down-to-earth, and he deserves this kind of favor.
"The Engineering Corps Battalion has begun to build the Suiyuan Chi Road." In the Wenhua Hall, Wang Chonggu reported on the progress of the Engineering Corps Battalion. The construction of the Chi Road along the Guandaoyi Road is already in progress, not preparation. Now, 70,000 skilled craftsmen have begun to build bridges, pave roads and lay ballast, and the corresponding lime plants, steel plants and many other official factories have also begun construction.
Construction of Suiyuan Chi Road, which has been in preparation for nearly a year, has started!
In the next three to five years, Suiyuan will be a large construction site, and this kind of construction will be conducive to the Ming Dynasty’s transformation of Suiyuan, and will also help Suiyuan’s mineral deposits to enter the hinterland, and coal Iron, copper, and silver are all mineral resources in the north, laying a solid foundation for the realization of coal-silver convection.
The convection of coal and silver will be a very important cycle in the Ming Dynasty. After the north obtains silver, it will better obtain handicraft products and food from the south. From now on, the scholar-bureaucrats in Nanya can no longer shout that the north is a loser. , should be calculated accurately, because coal, iron, copper and silver are all urgently needed.
"Your Majesty, I believe that coal and steel should be jointly operated and exclusively operated." Wang Chonggu finally took action on coal.
The salt and iron franchise has always been a sharp weapon for the accumulation of dynasties. The Ming Dynasty formulated a salt introduction system around salt. However, since the eighteen official iron factories were abolished during the Hongwu period, there were only iron lessons, which were sold to the people. The taxes are collected for state use and there is no ironware monopoly.
The Yanyin system was corrupted to the point of being almost unusable during the Hongzhi period, and Yanyin was used more as a currency supplement.
Coal and steel joint ventures and franchises were Wang Chonggu's proposition on the basis of government-factory alliances. They had no other purpose than making money.
This kind of heavy asset investment is not something that powerful powerful people can do. Likewise, the huge profits cannot be easily controlled by powerful powerful people. Just like in the early Han Dynasty, The Seven Kingdoms took control of the coinage and caused the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.
To be more clear, coal and steel are a form of violence.
"What Ci Fu said is reasonable, what do you think?" Zhu Yijun looked at the other courtiers in the Wenhua Palace. Once the coal and steel franchise is confirmed, the court and the people will compete for profits, and all the courtiers will Gather sycophants.
"Before the imperial court intervened, there was no franchise in coal and steel. I have not seen any large-scale production of coal and steel. Let's franchise it." Wang Guoguang made a statement on behalf of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Ming Dynasty is 200 years old. , when the imperial court did not interfere before, there was no industrial scale. Coal mining in Mentougou was disgusted by dogs.
The invisible big hand seems perfect in theory, but once it is reflected in reality, you will find that the saying that carnivores are despicable and short-sighted is the reality.
"I agree." Wang Daokun, the Minister of Industry, naturally gave his full support, which increased the voice of the Ministry of Industry. No matter who becomes the chief minister in the future, he must thank Guo Chaobin and Wang Daokun, the two Ministers of the Ministry of Industry, for their efforts. With his efforts, the Ministry of Industry was no longer a transparent person in the court.
"In the Two Song Dynasties, Coal was specialized in selling two hundred coins per pound of coal. The court should avoid such things from happening. This is the only thing I have to say. I agree." Hai Rui looked around and spoke on behalf of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It stated that as an important component of the supervision and correction force, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will perform its duties.
The price of civilian coal in the Ming Dynasty has not increased for a long time, at six cents per catty. Although the price of honeycomb briquettes with loess added is now six cents per catty, it seems that the price has increased, but the combustion of honeycomb coal is more complete. It’s technological progress, not price increases.
Zeng Shengwu, Minister of the Ministry of War, said quite seriously: "Gambling houses in and around the official factory must be completely banned. All the hard-earned money earned by hard work is thrown into the gambling houses. It is not allowed for the lackeys to use dice to peel off. The factory should increase its efforts to deal with the law and will not tolerate it if found out. "
"When necessary, you can also activate the ancestral precepts of Huang Ming and chop off the hands of those who set up bets as a warning to others."
Zeng Shengwu's conservative background has not changed, and the ancestral precepts of Huang Ming have been The laws and regulations of the imperial edict are actually dormant articles. It is indeed very reasonable for conservatives to advocate the laws established by their ancestors.
The Legislative Office is a government office in the official factory, but it is composed of retired soldiers. It is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of War. It arranges the old, injured, and sick soldiers, and maintains the laws of the official factory. The law was continuously emphasized by Wang Chonggu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, from the beginning of the Yongding Woolen Factory. Coupled with the implementation of the three musts and the three musts, the management of the official factory was more perfect.
"I agree." As the Minister of Rites, Wan Shihe did not mince words, but just expressed his agreement. He has been busy with the third-level school recently. The expansion of official factories and regiments is conducive to To promote cultural education, there will be too many low-class Confucians tomorrow, which will be the biggest headache for the Ministry of Rites.
When it comes to profits tax, it is indeed a tax increase on precious metals. If you are against it to prevent outflow, just oppose it. The three-level schools of government, factory, regiment and engineering regiment are also opposed. This is a disease. Even Lin Fucheng This kind of liberal also believes that receiving education is a freedom that should belong to everyone in Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Juzheng was also in charge of the official department. He wrote the floating notes and sent them to the emperor for approval.
Zhu Yijun signed, looked at the memorial, looked at Wang Chonggu and said: "The official factory group creation method is in the hands of Wang Cifu, from scratch, from small to large, from wool to all aspects of the Ming Dynasty, Cifu The Spring and Autumn Period concludes that meritorious deeds are beneficial to the present and will last forever. No matter how anyone misinterprets them in the future, Wang Cifu's achievements cannot be erased and no one can steal them."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Yes." Wang Chonggu bowed his head and thanked him again.
Hou Yu Zhao’s proposition that ‘one Ming Dynasty is composed of kings and people’ was unanimously approved by the courtiers. This Hou Yu Zhao worked outside the Great Wall for more than nine years and created another book. The memorial made the courtiers look at him with admiration. Compared with the master Ou De who was awarded the fifth-class merit, this "Beishan New Commentary" is Hou Yuzhao's experience and his practice.
It proves that Hou Yuzhao's ability is not just a flash of inspiration, but a real talent, and he constantly sums up experience in practice.
"This governor, just like that, returned to Liaodong again?" Wang Daokun didn't know Hou Yuzhao very well. According to the usual practice, when he became a governor, he had to set up a table in the capital, even if he didn't worship at the top of a mountain. It is also necessary to recognize the heads of the major mountains. Whose governor received the imperial edict and left like this?
Even if you don’t set up a table, it is always appropriate to go to the three major halls to pay homage to the mountain and connect with each other.
No! Hou Yuzhao left simply and directly.
Zhang Juzheng coughed slightly and said: "Hou Yuzhao has an innocent heart and is different from ordinary people. He should not be treated with common sense. According to Huitongguanyi, Hou Yuzhao's master reminded him, but When the spring plowing in Liaodong was coming to an end, Hou Yuzhao was really worried, so he left in a hurry. "
Hou Yuzhao didn't understand, his master didn't understand these human relations?
The master advised Hou Yu Zhao, but Hou Yu Zhao thought about it and decided not to waste time.
One grain of millet is planted in spring and ten thousand grains are harvested in autumn. Because of the construction of Chidao, it only takes eight days for Hou Yuzhao to enter the capital. However, these few days make Hou Yuzhao still worried about spring plowing. I was in a dilemma, so I just left.
The discussion between the two was not quiet, and someone in Huitongguanyi heard it.
"What's more interesting is that Hou Yuzhao planned to leave the master to visit around. The master cursed a few times and followed Hou Yuzhao back to Liaodong." Zhang Juzheng said while holding back a smile.
The Dukes of Wenhua Palace looked at each other and laughed.
Although the master can often represent Hou Yuzhao, if you visit the court officials and ask the master to visit, isn't that just a big mouth out of the public? It's better not to visit. The master is already very polite when he scolds people. He doesn't abandon him. He is regarded as a comrade who walks together and enjoys the same things.
Besides drinking, Hou Yuzhao is really not good at dealing with people.
The innocent heart is to scold people for being stupid, but what Zhang Juzheng said here is a compliment. Half of the Ming Dynasty must be officials like Hou Yuzhao. The Ming Dynasty can now reach the west of Thailand and beat Felipe II. Bow your head and proclaim yourself a vassal, dedicating yourself to the name of an empire on which the sun never sets.
This is also the charm of the Kaosheng method. If you can do things, you can be promoted, but it is not difficult to move forward without friends and teachers. This is also a kind of freedom. The master tolerates nepotism and is promoted, and he worships someone's sect, and is the stooge of the sect.
Had he not passed the examination, Hou Yuzhao would not have been able to take the position of governor.
"The Ministry of Personnel held a meeting to separate the Liaodong Dusi from the jurisdiction of the Chief Secretary of Shandong and upgrade it from the capital to a province." Zhang Juzheng took out a proposal from the Ministry of Personnel to separate the Liaodong Dusi from Shandong. , became the Administrative Envoy of Liaodong Province, and officially became a province and one of the first-level administrative regions of the Ming Dynasty.
“It can be clearly seen from the Kan map that Liaodong is no longer suitable for the simple military control of Dusi. Since the first year of Wanli, the land in Liaodong has been continuously expanded, and it has reached Jilin, and is still heading north. With the expansion, the yamen with military supervision can no longer meet the needs of the ground in Liaodong." Zhang Juzheng stated the reason.
This is an objective fact. The territory is too big and it is no longer possible to effectively manage and rule it with simple military restraint.
"There is a shortage of officials." Wan Shihe's face looked as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
"Great Law" starts! Any sergeant or official who does not serve the emperor will be killed!
