Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

"Now you can issue an imperial edict and canonize Wan Zhen'er as queen. As for the previous queen, she will be a noble concubine. She has nothing wrong and she will be treated the same as the queen."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was unfair to the original queen.

"Yes, Taizu, I remember it." Zhu Jianshen was also very excited.

Zhu Jianshen's biggest regret has always been that Wan Zhen'er did not become the queen. Now this regret can be made up for.

The eunuch trotted in and said, "Taizu, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Zhou wants to see you."

This is Zhu Jianshen's biological mother.

Zhu Jianshen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked for Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion.

"Let her go back! We have nothing to say to her." Zhu Yuanzhang felt that there was no need to see her.

Soon the imperial edict to canonize Wan Zhen'er was issued. The cabinet knew that this was Zhu Yuanzhang's intention, and no one dared to stop it.

I dare not say anything against it.

When Zhu Jianshen wanted to canonize Wan Zhen'er before, all the civil and military officials basically opposed it.

Now no one dares to say anything.

When Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, it was the ancestral precepts.

Before leaving, Xiao Ran asked Zhu Jianshen to confirm the order.

Zhu Yuanzhang successfully completed an order.

Hongwu Dynasty

Kunning Palace

Zhu Yuanzhang became the president, and Xiao Ran could go to Zhu Yuanzhang even if he didn't have an order.

"Sister, we are back!" Zhu Yuanzhang called Queen Ma when he entered Kunning Palace.

Queen Ma on the other side smiled and said, "Is it so fast?"

"These are all small things when we go." Zhu Yuanzhang sat down next to Queen Ma.

Zhu Yuanzhang's words are true, so it only works for Zhu Yuanzhang, and it should be okay for Zhu Di to go.

It's really difficult for Xiao Ran to go. Xiao Ran's words are useless.

Xiao Ran couldn't do anything about this kind of thing, and his identity as a time traveler was not easy to use.

Civil and military officials don't buy it. It would be too difficult to convince them.

Zhu Yuanzhang was relatively simple and violent in the past. He waved his hand and said exactly what he said.

"It seems to be going well. The Ming Dynasty should be doing well at this time, otherwise you wouldn't be so happy." Queen Ma poured a glass of water for Xiao Ran and Zhu Yuanzhang.

"This Zhu Jianshen, Xiao Ran said, was the emperor second only to the fourth son, and ranked third in the Ming Dynasty. He was good in both civil and martial arts. The Ming Dynasty had gone through two twists and turns by that bastard Zhu Qizhen, and it had lost its former glory. But Zhu Jianshen made the Ming Dynasty The management is in order, and we are very satisfied.”

"That's indeed good!" Queen Ma nodded.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince would like to see you." Yu'er came over and said.

"The boss is here, let him in!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Biao saw Xiao Ran smile and said, "Father, Queen, Sir."

"Boss, is there something wrong?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw the memorial in Zhu Biao's hand.

"Father, the war in the southwest is coming to an end. Fu Youde and the others have taken the southwest." Zhu Biao handed the memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, "Yes, our territory of Ming Dynasty has been expanded again!"

"After defeating it, the tricky thing is the subsequent governance. The southwest area is different from other places. The previous dynasties basically followed the policy of restraining the emperor. Is this the same in the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Biao asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is a major matter. Zhu Biao cannot make the decision alone and needs to discuss it with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing and fell into deep thought.

"Uncle, I have a hundred taels of gold, let me give you a trick." Xiao Ran interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up. Hearing Xiao Ran say a hundred taels of gold, he couldn't help but give Xiao Ran a roll of his eyes.

"You have already called us uncle, but you still have the nerve to ask for money?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"Brothers are still settling accounts!" Xiao Ran said with a smile, "Do you want it?"

"Er Hu, go get a hundred taels of gold!" Zhu Yuanzhang could only choose to give it.

Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted a way to govern the southwest.

In this way, Ming Dynasty can save a lot of manpower and material resources and avoid many detours.

"Problems like the southwest were not solved well until the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Chieftains in the southwest rebelled from time to time, and the court had to send troops to quell the rebellion from time to time."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "The same was true for the previous courts. The issue of chieftains in these places has always been difficult."

"After that, it was not until the Aixinjueluo family entered the customs and established the Qing Dynasty that they proposed the method of reforming the land and returning it to the local people to solve the problem in the southwest."

"Return to the old ways!" The eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao became different.

"Here comes pen, ink, paper and inkstone!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted, "write it down for us!"

This is very important to Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Dynasty.

Yu'er brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Queen Ma said, "I'll record it for you."

"That would be great." Zhu Yuanzhang still believed in Queen Ma's ability.

Erhu also sent gold according to Zhu Yuanzhang's request, and Xiao Ran had to fulfill his promise.

The chieftain system was a means to win over the native leaders in the southwestern border areas that the central government was unable to take care of. It "ruled the native people with native officials", recognized the hereditary status of the leaders of various ethnic minorities, and gave them official titles for indirect rule. The central government of the imperial court The edict was not actually implemented.

Under the rule of the chieftain, the land and the people are hereditary owned by the chieftain. Each chieftain forms a sphere of influence. Judicial, financial, administrative, and military affairs can all be autonomous. They can ask for and take from the local people and have all the power of life and death, except those who cannot After ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, everything else is even comparable to that of an emperor, and only a small symbolic tax is required to be paid to the court.

The Ming Dynasty was the peak of the chieftain system. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, unrest occurred frequently in the southwest frontier, which was also related to the weaknesses of the chieftain system itself.

"The chieftain system has played a certain positive role in situations where productivity levels are low, transportation is inconvenient, and national cultural differences are huge. However, chieftains have been officials for generations and dominate one area. Some chieftains are tyrannical and lawless and impose political policies on the people within their territory. Oppression and economic plunder, as well as fighting or wars between chieftains for power, led to loss of life and rebellion against the imperial court."

Zhu Biao nodded, "Yes, this was the situation before. After the army marched south, I checked a lot of information from the previous dynasties, but I couldn't find a solution."

Zhu Biao began to consider governance issues in Southwest China very early.

"During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Ertai vigorously promoted the policy of reforming native lands and returning them to exile, which means that the central government selects exiled officials with a certain term to directly manage the government affairs of minority areas. 'The method of reforming exiles is to plan and capture, and to suppress them with military force is the best policy. The best policy is to make people surrender, and the worst policy is to order them to sacrifice. "The method of making seedlings must be based on the combination of grace and power."

Xiao Ran began to speak, and Queen Ma began to write quickly to record what Xiao Ran said.

"The method of applying both kindness and power allows the chieftain to take the initiative to accept the implementation of reform and return as the best policy, and to use force to solve the problem is the worst policy." Zhu Yuanzhang murmured to himself.

"Now that our Ming army is still in the southwest, we can come back later and temporarily station in the southwest to frighten the southwest chieftains and directly promote the reform of the land. This can save a lot of things." Zhu Biao suggested.

"We think it's okay." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with Zhu Biao's statement.
