I am the king of the dead

"Anyone object?"

The Wuxu River is the largest river in the country of Kang. On both sides of the river are vast pastures, and Nukus is the gathering place of the Turks, on the east side of the river.

Dasha is the gathering place of the Persians, in the west of the river.

There are many tribes in these two places and conflicts are frequent, and the ranch is the main source of conflict.

Wang Fu looked left and right for a long time and said, "Since there is no objection, it's decided. If the two places are still fighting when the southeast wind blows, then leave it to me to deal with it."

"Next meeting."

There are so many tribes involved in the Wuxu River, no matter how the boundary is drawn, some people will oppose it.

But at this juncture, no one dared to speak up. In the past, they would make a fuss to gain some benefits for their tribe. At this time, Wang Zizheng was obviously in a bad mood. go in.

After Haihan's rebellion, many counselors suddenly realized the beauty of the council.

It is better to quarrel and quarrel than to fight and fight.

The appearance of Wang Zizheng's Councilor Council is to give everyone a place to sit down and quarrel. If they can discuss it, they can discuss it. If they can't discuss it, they can let Wang Zizheng decide for them.If it doesn't work, it won't be too late.

In fact, there are many issues that do not involve fundamental interests. If you quarrel and understand the bottom line of the other party and your own bottom line, the quarrel will pass.

Wang Fu dealt with the government affairs of the whole country of Kang, involving all aspects.

Many counselors, who haven't seen each other for a long time, don't care at all, and even take it for granted.

Chapter 587

Wang Fu rubbed his head tiredly, and leaned on the soft rattan chair. Since he also lost his son first, Wang Fu has become more and more busy, and Wang Fu has to handle all the government affairs and military affairs by himself.

In his arms was a mechanical clock sent by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. The time on this clock was the time of the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The Guiwei clock is a clock made by His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and given to him as a gift.

Wang Fu is the Marquis of Yuantai, he is loyal to Daming, and even wants to kill his most proud protégé, Bo Luo, for Daming.

But his loyalty to Daming, can His Majesty the Emperor really understand him?

If you think about it from His Majesty's point of view, Wang Fu can be seen as using Daming's power to fulfill his ambitions.

Before the last moment, before Wang Fu returned to the court, Wang Fu's loyalty needs to be doubted.

Wang Fu is also often grateful that he met a good emperor.

His majesty has always disregarded his deeds, as long as he, Wang Fu, did not do anything that endangered the interests of Daming, the emperor would acquiesce that he was loyal, which brought him great convenience in doing things.

At this time, Wang Fu fell into thinking about whether he wanted to be the king of Kang.

Now, Daming is too far away from Samarkand, and he is immersed in the pain of losing his son, unable to extricate himself. Wang Fu only needs to act according to the plan, and a king of Kang Kingdom is easily captured.

Wang Fu sat up straight, wrote the recent news of Samarkand in detail on the secret report, and handed it over to Ye Bu Receive. The news will be rushed to Jiayuguan with the caravan from the Western Regions, and then sent to Great Ming capital.

Wang Fu still wanted to be a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty also gave him the opportunity to be a courtier of the Ming Dynasty.

It takes nearly two months to cross the Tianshan Mountains from Samarkand to Hami, but it only takes one month to go from Hami to Jiayuguan, and from Jiayuguan to Jingtai County to the capital.

Zhu Jianshen's knowledge is not wrong. Before there was no Hetao, the three sides of Daming were completely negative assets.

The imperial court of Ming Dynasty and the mainland needed to continuously send people, food and grass, military equipment, civilian goods, etc. to the three sides, and Ming Dynasty undertook great financial pressure for this.

But now, with the sound of camel bells on the Hexi Corridor and the Tianshan Ancient Road, and the continuous development and restoration of the Silk Road, the land on three sides has gradually restored its former style.

More and more Ming merchants brought silk, tea, iron materials, lacquerware, porcelain, especially tea. The business of tea bricks was a huge profit. In the vast Western Regions, tea was a necessity.

And more Hu merchants also came to Sanbian. Their goods included cotton, wool, Dawan horses, etc. Of course, the most important of them were people, more precisely, slaves.

These slaves included a large number of Persians, Turks, and Uzis.

Before Zhang Feng died, he played against the emperor and said loudly that human nature is greedy.

These slaves were not protected by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, nor were they protected by the Labor Insurance Bureau. The emergence of slaves in the Ming Dynasty and the sudden rise of slavery became inevitable.

For example, the Hetao area needs a lot of labor right now. Even though the west entrance and the farm law have mobilized a certain amount of enthusiasm and supplemented a certain amount of labor, there is still a big gap.

After Xu Youzhen left, the water conservancy project in the Hetao area did not stop. A [-]-mile-long Jingtai Anmin Canal was just the beginning. A water conservancy and civil policy with a length of more than [-] miles was Xu Youzhen's legacy to the Hetao area.

But how to completely realize this thousand-mile waterway requires manpower to excavate a little bit.

There are nearly 2 miles of ditches in Wuyuan Mansion in Jing’an that need to be built, and about 24 people will have to work non-stop for two years. If all of them use Daming people, they will need to pay [-] silver coins. This is just labor remuneration. Payment, and administrative costs need to be paid as well as materials.

However, His Majesty the Emperor and the Minister of the Household Department only gave [-] silver coins. How to complete the excavation of the [-]-mile ditch?

If you use slaves, you can save a lot of expenses, and there is even room for corruption.

As the prefect of Wuyuan Prefecture, at this time, he would naturally choose slaves to complete the work. Even if this prefect is an extremely clean and upright person, his choice is to use slaves.

The use of slaves can save a lot of labor remuneration, and can also reduce the labor of the people, and use these labors in other places, such as reclamation, such as building city walls, building embankments, blowing up the ice of the Yellow River, and so on.

Except for the slaves themselves who lost, merchants, bureaucrats, and common people all won.

Therefore, the slave trade was also very popular in the three sides, and everyone subconsciously chose to turn a blind eye, and sent all the memorials to the capital without mentioning the slave trade.

In Sanbian, Jining, Shanxi Xingdusi, and Beipingdusi, there is a trend of slavery, and this trend has intensified, sweeping the entire Ming Dynasty.

During the Jingtai period when construction was in command, the emperor refused to recruit a large number of civilian husbands, and even set up a labor insurance bureau to guarantee labor income, so these slaves could only suffer.

The dredging of the Wujiang River and the 20-mile waterway in Guizhou, as well as the [-]-mile waterway written in the Daming Plan, the development of Liuzhi Factory and Yunnan Copper also required a lot of labor.

Nanya Daxing shipbuilding industry, tung oil, salt fields, canal maintenance, relocation of Jilong Island, and the continuous increase of handicraft workshops also require a lot of labor.

There is another major event that has already started but requires more labor. The Ming emperor is implementing it, that is, road hardening and bridge construction for more than 40 miles.

Calculated by consuming one person per mile, this would require more than 40 slaves or recruit 40 civilian husbands.

If you don't suffer slaves, you can only suffer the people of Daming.

The primitive accumulation of capital is all bloody, even in Daming.

Does His Majesty the Great Emperor sitting in the capital know this?

Almost all officials chose to turn a blind eye to the matter of slavery. The emperor was deeply trapped in the information cocoon, and the information he obtained came from courtiers. Did he know about the rise of slavery in the Ming Dynasty?

The Imperial Study Room in Tai'an Palace was brightly lit, and Xing'an organized and filed all the memorials by category. Looking at His Majesty, who was reading the memorials at his desk under the white light of the blowtorch, there were mixed feelings in his heart.

Zhang Feng is a moth, and a moth who will be beheaded after being checked and mended, but what Zhang Feng said is quite right.

As His Majesty the Ninth Five-Year Lord, it is too hard.

"Xing'an, send these secret reports that are not accepted at night to Yu Shaobao, let Yu Shaobao have a look, and call Yu Shaobao to play the right one tomorrow." Zhu Qiyu put together several memorials and handed them to Xing'an.

Xing'an took the memorial and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's late at night. Concubine Tang's concubine told me that Concubine Tang has practiced a set of sword dance recently, and I would like to invite Your Majesty to have a look."

"I see." Zhu Qiyu didn't lift his head, looking at the few memorials in his hand, lost in thought.

Zhu Qiyu knew about the rising trend of slavery in the Ming Dynasty, because Zhu Qiyu had Jinyiwei scattered all over the Ming Dynasty, who did not accept them at night, and also had the General Secretary of the General Administration, who would meet with people from all over the country every month. I know it well.

The source of slaves on the three sides is mainly from the Western Regions;

The trend of slavery in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou mainly came from the three major propaganda departments in Southeast Asia;

The source of slaves in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Jilong, and Nanya provinces and the two Zhili Prefectures are mainly Kunlun slaves from Koryo, Japan, and Southeast Asia;

The source of slaves in Northern Zhili and Liaodong was mainly women and savages.

Zhu Qiyu knocked on the table, pondered for a long time, finally made up his mind, and asked, "Has Wang Fu's memorial arrived? Where is it?"

"Here." Xing'an found Wang Fu's memorial and handed it to His Majesty, so he knew that Tang Guifei's sword dance today was probably prepared for nothing.

Zhu Qiyu knew more about the mutiny in Samarkand than Ye Xian.

In fact, Wang Fu had noticed Haihan's abnormality long ago, and even planned to stimulate Haihan to act aggressively. The purpose of doing so was naturally to let Kang go on steadily.

But Wang Fu obviously didn't expect Haihan to mobilize so quickly. He had just carried out the military system reform, and as soon as he returned to the Lan Palace, Haihan launched the military coup. Fortunately, Wang Fu made preparations and Haihan didn't succeed.

Before the army mutinied, he was still angrily saying that no one would dare to oppose such a statement.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Fu's memorabilia, plus many secret reports that were not received at night, and said: "Let Wang Fu stop arguing with Ye first, although Ye Xian has not yet reached the age of hearing, but he has gone through the pain of bereavement After he betrayed him, his temperament changed drastically, let Wang Fu appease Ye Xian's emotions."

"If you can't appease them first, it is very possible to rush to Sarai Batu ahead of time. Ottoman's Falati will never allow this to happen, and Timur's Buzain will definitely backstab Kang."

"If you can't be obedient to the king first, then I can give the king the seat of obedience to Kang Wang."

Xing'an looked at His Majesty and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, is this a king with a different surname or King Hu?"

The Hu man named the king was the stalk that Daming used to fight crickets in the grassland. If Wang Fu took the position of King Kang, he must ask clearly in His Majesty's mind whether this is the King Hu or the king with a different surname.

There are huge differences in everything from printing ribbons to imperial edict formats, bureaucratic dispatch, etc.

The title of the king by the Hu people is self-government, and the king of a different surname is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu pointed at the memorial and said: "Wang Fu worked hard on this bit by bit! I'm just a canonized edict. Naturally, it's a king with a different surname, and it's a barrier of Ming Dynasty, not King Hu."

"With an imperial edict, I will expand the territory. How can there be such a good thing in the world! Do I still want to push Wang Fu to Yexian?"

"Anyway, there is a precedent in the Mu Palace. I can give it to Kang Guogong first, and it won't make it difficult for the Ministry of Rites."

Duke Qian's mansion was built according to the regulations of the king's mansion, and most of the Duke's mansion in Ming Dynasty was called Mu Wang's mansion.

What Zhu Qiyu promised Wang Fu was Kang Guogong, but the regulations were Kang Wangzhi, who was actually a king with a different surname.

How can etiquette be inconvenient? Zhu Qiyu's use of etiquette is also like a command.

"What's the name of the Ottoman envoy, right? Let him meet tomorrow. I have an edict to bring to the Ottoman Sultan Fatih." Zhu Qiyu wrote a reply letter to Wang Fu, and also urged this thing.

Xing'an took down His Majesty's order and said in a low voice, "He named himself Kang Chengzhi, Your Majesty."

Zhu Qiyu sneered and said: "He said his name is Kang Chengzhi, the purpose is to make me think that the Ottomans are the descendants of Zhaowu's nine surnames, and they are Turks, but they are obviously Thais and Westerners, and most of them are Greeks."

"I'm going to call him Little Steadman. He works for the Ottomans and wants to be related to Tang. What kind of onion is he?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Qiyu became angry, and even now he is still holding the golden seal of the king of obedience given by the Ming Dynasty, flirting around, and all the official documents of the state are printed with the seal of the king of obedience.

Although Kang Chengzhi already knew that the so-called Great Ming Expeditionary Army was just defeated dogs that were scared away by the Ming Dynasty, most people in the Western Regions believed that the Oala Army was the Ming Expeditionary Army.

Zhu Qiyu stopped writing and thought for a moment, and prepared to give Wang Fu another five hundred dungeons and five hundred commanding officers to serve as generals of the Kang State, so as to prevent such an army mutiny from happening again in the Kang State.

These 1000 generals are all disciples of the emperor who graduated from the Daming Lecture Hall and the Lecture Hall, and they are not fakes who graduated from the fake school in Samarkand.

With these 1000 people, Wang Fu will be more able to control the government and military affairs of the Kang Kingdom.

You must know that there are less than a thousand commanders and generals in the entire Shanxi Xingdusi and the three Jing'an prefectures. This is Zhu Qiyu's talent support for Wang Fu.

Wang Fu didn't need money in Kang, because Wang Fu and Tuotuobuhua themselves controlled the financial power of Kang, and Wang Fu didn't need Ming to give him political and military status, because Wang Fu and Wang Yue, I won it myself.

But Wang Fu needs the title of righteousness, the affirmation of the emperor of Ming Dynasty, and the affirmation of Ming Dynasty.

Wang Fu needs talents, Samarkand is too far away, he has no way to find more trustworthy people, this is Wang Fu's dilemma.

"Tell Wang Fu, I have already played his miraculous card, and it is in Juxian Pavilion. I have been waiting for the day when I hang it on my chest with my own hands. I have been looking forward to it for a long time." Zhu Qiyu stood up and looked at him. West.

If Wang Fu is willing to stay in Kang Guo to be his Lord Kang, Zhu Qiyu will naturally not recruit him back. If Wang Fu is willing to come back, Zhu Qiyu is willing to leave Wang Fu a good place in the court.

The position of the head of Yu Qian's hundreds of officials needs someone to take over Yu Qian's hundred years later, and Wang Fu is one of the candidates in Zhu Qiyu's heart.

After the experience of iron and blood, if Wang Fu returns to the court, he will pass all the tests, whether it is ability or loyalty, he is worthy of Zhu Qiyu's trust.

"It's so late, let's go to Elena's Huaca Building." Zhu Qiyu decided to go to Elena's side after washing.

Empress Wang had already rested at this time, and there was a sword dance to watch at Concubine Tang's side, but Zhu Qiyu didn't have the energy to fight with Concubine Tang.

He was afraid that he would not be able to get up the next day.

Tang Xing, the grandfather of the third prince, can make troubles. Concubine Tang Gui was pregnant and eager to defend herself against the enemy when Tai'an Palace was attacked. The third prince, Zhu Jianjun, couldn't stay idle. A few days ago, he climbed a tree to dig out a bird's nest, and almost scared Xing'an to death. past.

Elena has not been pregnant for a long time, Zhu Qiyu plans to work on Elena more, whether it is the princess or the prince, it is the guarantee of the lightning return.

Elena is writing, and her Sinology needs to make up lessons. During this time, she has finished reading the Book of Rites and started to learn about nine chapters of arithmetic.

Elena saw the figure of the emperor, her big eyes were filled with tears.

Tai'an Palace is not big, but she hasn't seen the emperor for a long time, she thought the emperor had forgotten her.

Deep in the palace, in a foreign country, the only one she can rely on is her husband.

Chapter 588 The sword is held high to sweep away the dust and dirt

Zhu Qiyu couldn't say how much he liked Elena, an elf. To be precise, he couldn't devote much time and energy to the many concubines in the harem.

The reason why Zhu Qiyu came to Elena's Huae Tower was because he received Wang Fu's memorial today that the Ottoman Kingdom was preparing for the enthronement, so Zhu Qiyu remembered that there was a Roman princess in his harem.

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed.

Daming has already arrived in April, and the cold weather in late spring is getting less and less. There are beautiful flowers everywhere, birds singing and fragrance of flowers everywhere. Zhu Qiyu had breakfast under the slightly sad eyes of Concubine Tang.
