My Daming New Empire

Although the land there was confiscated to him and the gold mine was rewarded to him, it didn't mean that he was allowed to be a real earth king there.

Because Daming canonized the prince, the prince only has the right to collect taxes. Except for the land belonging to the palace, other fields have to pay taxes.Even the gold mine, as a prince, can only get [-]% at most, which is equivalent to management fees.

Most of the rest will be handed over to the imperial court, and there are also miners' salaries and royalties.

Because the imperial court not only had to immigrate there, but also garrisoned troops, and built palaces for the vassal kings, all of which cost a lot of money.

But now Daming's finances are still stable, Zhu Zhanji has brought back 2000 million taels of silver, and has enough funds to operate this matter.

There must be several levels of feudal feudalism.

First of all, the clan is crowned king, the clan cannot be a bachelor, and the children of those honorable families who have no inheritance rights, as long as they pass, they can also be knighted.

Although there is no precedent for feudal vassals outside the Ming Dynasty, the basic ruling structure must be complete.

Otherwise, Daming spent countless manpower and material resources, but in the end it would be impossible for it to want to be independent and not to pay taxes.

Under the idea of ​​the unification of Eastern civilization, it is impossible to completely independent feudal vassals like in the West.

This is the benefit of Confucianism, so although Confucianism in later generations is corrupt and depraved, it is still advisable now.

There are many ideas of Zhu Zhanyong in the clan, but it is impossible for Zhu Zhanyong's ideas to be allowed in front of Zhang.

Among other things, he is not yet an adult or married, so he wants to go overseas alone, and even Zhu Zhanji will not agree.

At the very least, he will have to wait until Zhu Di dies, Zhu Gaochi ascends the throne, and he gets married before he can be granted a title.

But he can't, there are many other eligible clans and nobles, how to distribute the benefits here, even Zhu Di has a headache.

Because all development is just the beginning, and what is more important is to lead other people to develop agriculture to the end. Only when agriculture is gradually developed can more people be fed.

If one only pays attention to the income of the gold mine, and returns to Daming's idea after making a fortune, such a person cannot place high hopes.

There will always be a day when the gold mines will be dug out. Turning Nanzhou into an inseparable territory of Ming Dynasty is the long-term solution.

During the banquet, there was an endless stream of people who came to toast with Zhu Zhanji. Everyone knew that his opinion would be crucial on how to divide Nanzhou.

This scene made Zhu Gaochi's eyes warm.

As for Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, there was only disappointment in his eyes at the moment.

In the 14th year of Yongle, he was cut off by Zhu Di and distributed to Lego.Originally Lego didn’t have Hanwang Mansion, and their family could still live in Hanwang Mansion in Qingzhou, but Jin Rong, the commander of the Shandong capital, was transferred to Liangzhou in the northwest.

The family lived in Lego County Government for more than a year before being moved to the Xinhan Palace, which is more than half smaller than the original regulations.

Zhu Gaoxu is now a commoner, and the Xinhan Palace was actually awarded to his eldest son, Zhu Zhanhe. He has been completely marginalized within the entire clan.

Even though he is unwilling in every possible way, the grandson Zhu Zhanji is very powerful now, and both the people and the army regard the grandson as orthodox.

After Jin Rong, who supported him, was transferred away, now he can't even think of Le'an.If it weren't for Zhu Zhanji's honor this time, he was given the gift to enter Beijing, and he would still be under house arrest in Le'an.

When I came to Yingtianfu, I saw that Yingtianfu has now become a huge factory.Cannons and muskets were mass-produced, and all of these were in the hands of his nephew.

He has resigned himself to his fate.

When he came to Beijing this time, he thought that his father would care about the relationship between father and son, and forgive him, so that he could take his sons away from Daming and go out to be a vassal.

Not only he thinks this way, but Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui also thinks the same way. As long as he has a little pursuit, he is unwilling to be imprisoned in the palace like a pig to give birth to a child.

However, since Zhu Di has not yet made up his mind, no one has been given the letter now.

Zhu Di sat for a while and left first. He got the document from Zhu Zhanji before the meal, and heard Zhu Zhanji talk about so many reform ideas. Zhu Di still had this matter in his heart.

He is getting older, although the clan of the Zhu family and nobles gather together today, but there are too many people, and the noise makes his brain hurt.

As soon as he left, there was a lot of excitement around Zhu Zhanji, and the Western clans who followed Zhu Zhanji took Zhu Zhanji as their hope.

Even Zhu Gaoxu put down his airs and toasted Zhu Zhanji a glass of wine, but he couldn't say what he asked for, and it was Zhu Zhanhe who expressed his thoughts on his behalf.

As the winner, Zhu Zhanji was very magnanimous at this time, and he directly agreed: "The purpose of my nephew taking the clan to sea is to expand the territory overseas, and then let my Zhu family's descendants spread branches and leaves all over the world, and spread their glory all over the world." .

In addition to Nanzhou, Xizhou, and Dongzhou, people will also be sent there in the past few years.No matter what, everyone has a large piece of land, not smaller than my state and capital of Ming Dynasty. "

Even though he said this, Zhu Gaochi knew very well that the most important thing is where the fiefdom is.No matter how large the territory is, if the land is deserted and there are no minerals, it will still be difficult to survive.

So he didn't care about face at this time, and said flatly: "In the past few days, I have also inquired about some overseas scenery. Now Nanzhou is sparsely populated, there are no disputes, and all the nobles of the clan do not want to go to Nanzhou.

But Xizhou is the territory of the Kunlun slaves. There is a large plain in the east and a lot of land in the south suitable for planting. It is said that there are gold mines.Therefore... I would like to ask Zhanji to speak well in front of his father. "

Zhu Zhanji's heart moved, this Zhu Gaoxu has a good vision.Although Nanzhou is large and has no disputes, except for a little more mines, good land is mainly in the south.And in those places in the south, the major clans are all eyeing.

West Africa, that is, the northern part of Africa, is the territory of the Arabs, mostly deserts.Miasma is rampant in the central part, but it is rich in products and there are many black people.

The currently sparsely populated southern region not only has fertile land, but also has many gold mines. Development there is actually more promising than most parts of Nanzhou.

Because Nanzhou is isolated overseas, no one will go there.But Xizhou will become an important node of maritime trade in the next few hundred years.

Zhu Zhanji didn't dare to accept his full salute, so he returned the salute, not in a vain manner, straightened his back and said directly: "The southern part of Nanzhou is about as big as the Central Plains of Ming Dynasty to Nanyue. For such a large area, at least ten people should be sealed off. A few lords. However, the further south you go, the smaller the territory. The border with the Kunlun slaves will be astonishingly large. The second uncle can think about whether to choose a safer small place or a larger territory north."

Zhu Gaoxu said decisively: "Don't think about it, I choose the north. I have been a soldier for half my life, and I want to go to Xizhou, just to fight. It is worthwhile to lay down a world for my Zhu family there."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Well, when the dust settles, I will live up to my second uncle's entrustment. However, it may take two years to settle this matter."

Everyone wondered: "Now that the imperial court is becoming more and more chaotic, why is there a delay?"

Zhu Zhanji laughed and said: "Don't forget that the emperor's grandfather has always been obsessed with the Western Expedition, and he doesn't want to divide the troops in the Western Continent because of the development of Nanzhou."

Whether it is going to Nanzhou or Xizhou, development requires manpower.

It was built in the early Ming Dynasty, and now the land is abundant. Except for Lingnan, Fujian has many mountains and little land, and the people are unwilling to leave their homes.

Today, the largest immigrant group in Ming Dynasty is not ordinary people, but military households.Only these military households are not afraid to migrate overseas to provide manpower for development.

Therefore, if Zhu Di does not march westward, does not bring Timur to the ground, and the war does not end, immigration may still be a dream.

When Zhu Zhanji said this, everyone understood.But today, with Zhu Zhanji's honest words, everyone in the feudal vassal has a share, and they feel at ease.

Even if they waited for another two years, no one would be unwilling. Those nobles even wanted to go out with Zhu Di, earn some military merits, and seal a bigger territory later.

"Zhanji..."

Zhu Zhanji looked back, saluted and shouted: "Uncle Stew. I'm too busy these days, I still want to talk to you later."

Zhu Youdunqing lost a lot of weight, and his whole body looked even more graceful.He smiled wryly and said, "You pushed me to the top of the limelight!"

A bunch of clan clan laughed loudly, but envious expressions appeared on their faces.

This was the only official in the clan after Zhu Di abolished Zhu's appointment as the patriarchal order, and what's more, he was not an idle job, but a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Rites.
