Wang Buli's words gave Zhu Di no reason to refuse.
Your second brother can marry a Mongolian as his principal wife, so why can't you take a Jurchen as your concubine?
If Zhu Di dared to refuse, Zhu Yuanzhang would take off his shoes and beat him first.
"can."
Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded slightly. Now Liaodong was under Zhu Di's jurisdiction, so there was no problem at all for him to marry a foreigner as his concubine.
Everyone congratulated His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, and it was unclear whether it was a mockery or not.
Zhu Yuanzhang signaled Zhu Biao to show the booklet to everyone, as it would be easy to ruin the military farming project.
When it reached Wang Buli's hands, he found that Zhu Yuanzhang had summarized quite a few points.
The first is the invasion and occupation of the clan by noble officials and wealthy people, and the second is the annexation of the clan by wealthy people.
The third is that wealthy families used the barren land of the people to exchange for fertile military farms.
The fourth is that the powerful people asked the government to convert the military farms into civilian farmland.
The fifth is to manage the hidden residences or official flags of military farms.
Sixth, the official flags were pawned. Seventh, the soldiers could not bear the miscellaneous work of garrisoning grain, so they secretly surrendered the garrison land to the powerful.
Eighth, because the fields were far away or there was no means to cultivate them, the garrison troops rented the fields out to others, and the fields became tenants’ property for a long time, without knowing where they were.
The Ninth Garrison Army fled and the garrison farms were abandoned.
Tenth, the garrison officials exacted taxes and abused soldiers, causing the soldiers to flee and farmland to be abandoned.
Eleventh, due to poverty, lack of cattle, tools and seeds, and inability to farm, the land is abandoned and left to waste.
The twelfth northern border was abandoned due to Mongolian raids.
There are many reasons, the most important of which is abandonment and concealment.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw the problems of military farming in the fairyland, and asked Zhu Biao to record them all so that everyone could see if there was any solution.
Wang Buli took a closer look and felt that the seventh reason for the failure of military farming was the most abnormal.
Especially in the early Ming Dynasty.
Could it be that at that time the word "投献" was used to circumvent taxes?
In June of the fifth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang cast an iron list for dukes and marquises to restrict their occupation of land.
Who doesn't want to live anymore and doesn't want to be rich anymore and wants to go against Lao Zhu?
Wang Buli showed no suspicion and handed it to Mu Ying beside him for review.
"Could it be that there are other colleagues in the Ming Dynasty now?"
Wang Buli felt that it was very wrong for Lao Zhu to put this thing out.
This memorial does not seem to indicate that many problems with military farming were discovered in the early Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang should have issued an order to do so long ago.
It is simply impossible that the military settlement system would last only during the Hongwu and Yongle reigns and become so corrupt that it would become a burden.
If it really needs to be brought up, it would be normal if Wang Buli himself took the initiative to bring it up.
But Wang Buli himself didn't mention this, and it was very abnormal that Lao Zhu brought it up.
Otherwise, why would Wang Buli suspect that there were other time travelers?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Buli and watched him finish reading calmly without saying anything. After all, everyone hadn't finished reading yet, but he was the first to ask questions, which was very targeted.
Wang Buli glanced at Zhu Di, who had been staring at him, and his eyes seemed to be questioning him.
She has been like this since she entered the palace, and it is not because she wanted him to take a Jurchen woman as a concubine.
I'll think of a way to get some information out of him so that I don't know anything.
Hu Weiyong was thinking about who had submitted the memorial to His Majesty, and his investigation was quite comprehensive.
Moreover, he wrote the letter directly to the emperor without going through the Secretariat, which really made Hu Weiyong feel embarrassed.
Ever since the emperor issued an order that anyone could write to him with suggestions, the position of the Secretariat seemed a bit redundant.
Many memorials did not need to be submitted to the emperor through the Secretariat.
It looks like they are from the common people. Could they be the group of students from the Imperial Academy who went to the north for training?
So many problems were found in such a short time. It seems that there is a "genius" among this group.
Zhu Biao saw that Mu Ying had also finished reading, and then he spoke:
"These are the problems discovered by the students of the Imperial Academy who went to the north for training. They have been recorded and are now displayed to everyone."
"Oh I got it."
Xu Da nodded repeatedly and said to the prince, "It seems that the selected students of the Imperial Academy are not just bookworms. Instead, they are willing to get involved and go to the fields to investigate the truth."
"Thanks to Buli's election method." Zhu Biao also took advantage of the situation:
"Otherwise, how could we easily know that there are so many problems down there!
They have to be young students who are motivated and have no intention of just dealing with the officialdom."
In short, Zhu Biao praised these students who went to the north for training.
Hu Weiyong remained calm, but he was still slightly worried.
Even though the talents produced by the current system of recommendation have been granted official positions by His Majesty, he has already realized how much the emperor values the students who go to the north for training.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have discussed their lowly affairs in public.
Zhu Biao explained this and Wang Buli didn't say much.
Those students who have such insight should have become famous long ago.
Wang Buli felt that it was a huge progress that each of them was willing to humble themselves and walk in the fields.
Not to mention being able to offer such sharp advice.
Do you really think I haven't interviewed those people?
Zhu Yuanzhang had been looking at Wang Buli, trying to find any flaws in him.
However, I don’t know whether this boy is not aware of these matters concerning military settlements or is daydreaming.
In the end, there was no response.
Mu Ying did raise a few specific points, and Xu Da also talked about his own countermeasures.
Everyone expressed their opinions, except Wang Buli, who remained silent.
Zhu Di looked at Wang Buli, not knowing what he was thinking, but he could not associate him with an immortal.
"Buli, you always have a lot of ideas, why don't you say anything?"
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Wang Buli bowed slightly:
“Your Majesty, I am not very good at military settlements, but the cause of this is nothing more than an act of privilege.
I happen to be in a privileged position, and few people can control themselves, so I don’t know how to deal with it.”
privilege.
Wang Buli is right. Who among us here is not privileged?
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned by what Wang Buli said.
In fact, this is very normal. Everyone wants to make the Zhu Dynasty last forever just for the sake of privilege.
The beneficiaries as they are could then become dukes and nobles for generations and enjoy wealth and prosperity forever.
“Then we should improve the supervision system.”
Zhu Biao was not silenced by what Wang Buli said. In the past, none of the people present here were rich and powerful.
Xu Da is also a street urchin.
Zhu Biao was an ambitious man who wanted to make the Ming Dynasty better.
Especially with the fairyland as a means to peek into the future of the Ming Dynasty, problems can be discovered earlier and improvements can be made.
This will prevent future generations from following ancestral rules and being unable to change some wrong policies.
There are two types of supervision systems, one is on the surface and the other is not on the surface.
So the ministers were speechless.
"This matter requires long-term consideration. We have been sitting here for so long, it is time to let go."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his sleeves and took the initiative to let them go for a stroll.
So Wang Buli decisively got up and went out for a walk.
Zhu Di hurriedly followed, and the two of them stood in the corridor outside the hall.
"Brother-in-law, you hid it from me so badly!"
Zhu Di blurted out this sentence immediately.
Wang Buli hummed: "Not bad."
Zhu Di thought that Wang Buli would ask him what he had concealed and he would cover it up, but he never expected that he would admit it directly. He was stunned for a moment.
Instead, he heard Wang Buli patting his shoulder and saying, "In order to allow you to take a concubine naturally, we have found a good reason for you. It is for the country and the people!"
Zhu Di never thought that what Wang Buli was talking about was this.
He was still in a daze, and then he shook his sleeves:
"My relationship with Miaoyun is deep, and I can no longer see other women in my eyes. Unlike you, you like to go to Qinhuai at night and flirt with other women."
"Just marry her. I didn't make you like those women."
Wang Buli shrugged, looked at the huge palace from afar, with his hands behind his back.
Zhu Di had many questions in his mind that he wanted to ask, but he simply couldn't say them.
What's more, there are many eyes and ears in the palace.
"Hey."
Zhu Di sighed deeply: "Forget it, as a prince, how can I have so many wishes come true!"
Wang Buli glanced at Zhu Di and said, "Old Fourth, you are different today. I saw you as soon as I entered the palace. You acted as if I owed you 1,800 taels. What's the matter? Did your wife lose money in the shop she runs?"
"No."
Zhu Di could not tell the truth to Wang Buli, and he felt a little uneasy. He could only say firmly:
"Brother-in-law, I really didn't expect that the emperor father valued you so much. When I become a vassal in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ask the emperor father to let you go with me to Peking to kill the Mongols and seal the Wolf's Lair."
Hearing this, Wang Buli looked at him again: "Old Four, you won't give up your wish so easily, right?"
"That must be impossible."
"Father will grow old, and we will all grow up. Are we going to stay here for the rest of our lives without making any achievements?"
Wang Buli shook his head slightly: "What's the meaning of life then?"
At this time, a gust of wind came, making the clothes of the two people rustle.
The two were silent for a while, and then Zhu Di said:
"It's going to rain hard again."
"Ah."
Wang Buli was still feeling the natural breeze, which changed from warm to cool, mixed with some earthy smell.
Zhu Di kept sighing.
But Wang Buli did not ask him why he sighed, which made Zhu Di very angry.
We are not good brothers anymore.
You really like to eat alone, and you are so patient!
The young Zhu Di was a little impatient, but he did not dare to complain to Wang Buli, let alone go against the wishes of his father and elder brother.
So the two of them just looked at each other in silence.
Everyone has something on their mind.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Wang Buli and Zhu Di go out, he did not stop them.
He believed that the fourth brother would not dare to go against his words and reveal anything to Wang Buli.
Zhu Biao, on the other hand, felt a little restless.
After all, some secrets are no longer secrets when more people know them.
It's not that he didn't believe that the fourth brother would keep his mouth shut, but he was worried that with the fourth brother's current mental state, he might not be able to resist Wang Buli's temptation.
"father."
"It doesn't matter. Even if we have to show our cards, there's no harm in that. We are a family after all. Maybe we can get more information."
Zhu Yuanzhang was hoping that Wang Buli would take the initiative to talk about this fairyland.
He always had many questions in his mind, but he didn't know how to ask Wang Buli.
Based on his understanding of Wang Buli, it would be difficult for Wang Buli to tell the truth once he, the emperor, asked him.
People came back one after another.
