The courtier lives in the palace, although it is the emperor's permission, Xia Xun finally felt that something was wrong, he quickly got up and thanked him, Zhu Di laughed, and said: "This matter is not busy, if you really don't want to live in the camp, even if the palace gate is closed for a while, I will make a special order to let you out."
Let's talk about the situation in Liaodong first. ” Seeing this, Xia Xun had no choice but to put the matter aside first and tell it patiently.
After a while, the imperial dining room presented dinner again, Zhu Di gave a banquet, and the two monarchs and ministers each had a table, a few very simple dishes, and talked while eating.
Xia Xun talked carefully about what he saw and heard in Liaodong, and these current situations are a strong basis for supporting his political strategy, and he must be careful and have a lot of detailed and real data to be convincing.
Finally, Xia Xun talked about the three problems that need to be solved urgently.
The first one, the resistance should not be large, because Zhu Di already had this meaning, that is, to set up a government office in Liaodong to govern political affairs.
As the role of the Liaodong shogunate in various fields grew, the time was ripe for it to be upgraded from the shogunate's special office to the imperial court's official office, and if the specifications continued to be maintained at the shogunate level, many problems would arise.
If the name is not right, it is not good, just like Tang Jie did not take the Justice Department and the Changshi Yamen in his eyes, and those who had formal official positions in the imperial court despised these "temporary workers" of the Liaodong shogunate from the root, and their authority in governing was naturally greatly affected.
In addition, the special office was an agency under the shogunate, and many decrees formulated and promulgated made the people worry about the stability of their surname.
Zhu Di nodded after hearing this and said: "Well, in my expectation, it should take at least two years of governance before the shogunate can spread out, I didn't expect the situation in Liaodong to develop so quickly, okay, I and a few accompanying ministers will discuss again, and issue an edict as soon as possible, simply remove the shogunate and incorporate it into the imperial court official system." ” Speaking of this, he glanced at Xia Xun and said with a smile: "As soon as the special office is withdrawn, there will be no need for the shogunate to exist, these official offices are not under your direct control, and you can control the situation in Liaodong, how sure are you that there will be no chaos." ” Xia Xun said happily: "Your Majesty, the situation in Liaodong, if you have to let the ministers be there to suppress it, it can only prove that the policy of Jingluo Liaodong has failed, and it is the ministers who forcibly suppressed it as a minister in the status of a messenger and with the prestige of His Majesty's favored ministers."
This kind of policy, like duckweed in water, has no roots and no bottom, so there is no need for it to be implemented."
Zhu Di laughed and said: "You are very complacent, it seems that you are very confident in your strategy for governing Liaodong."
Okay, tell me about it, what are the other difficulties that I need to solve."
Xia Xun's expression was solemn, and he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the next two things, if it weren't for the emperor's nod, there would be no possibility of implementing them at all."
However, the minister thinks that these two policies are not only for Liaodong, but also for other places in the Ming Dynasty.
If it is implemented, Liaodong can become the border wall of my Ming Dynasty and be indestructible, as His Majesty hopes, otherwise, these two things will sooner or later become the root cause of my Ming Dynasty's self-destruction of the Great Wall."
When Xia Xun said this, Zhu Di became cautious, leaned forward and said, "Wenxuan, you say it carefully."
The two things mentioned by Xia Xun can be summed up in two sentences, one is the national policy, and the other is the reform of the army.
These two things sound simple, but because the eastern Liaodong clan has a relatively strong reading surname, so on a large scale, these two powers are attributed to foreign affairs and national defense respectively, to change these two policies, it is indeed necessary for the emperor to nod, whether he is a first-class duke or a shogun appointed by the emperor, he has no right to change.
In Xia Xun's proposition, there are two changes to the original disposal policy of the attached tribes.
On the other hand, Xia Xun opposed the excessive connivance and extensive management of the subordinate tribes, did not agree with letting them be self-governing and maintain their original tribal structure and lifestyle, and hoped to let them integrate and live together with the border people of the Ming Dynasty as much as possible, and at the same time gradually infiltrate these tribes who lived by nomadism and hunting with advanced production methods.
In terms of Song, since the first year of Hongwu, the surname Hu has been banned; Since the fourth year of Hongwu, Hu Li has been banned; Since the fifth year of Hongwu, the Mongols and Semu people have been forced not to marry within their own clan, and those who violate the law will be punished, which is actually a means for Zhu Yuanzhang to seek ethnic integration.
Is there a better way to integrate than marriage Once they form a family with the Han people, their lifestyles and ideologies will gradually change, which is actually the same as Xia Xun's purpose.
However, Xia Xun opposed this policy, because this idea is good, but in fact, there is no possibility of implementing this unreasonable administrative order.
Just like in modern times, the legal age of marriage is in the twenties, but some areas inhabited by ethnic minorities in the south simply ignore it, and the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl still marries and has children.
Although the etiquette of the Hu people does not attach as much importance to inheritance and ancestors as the Han people, forcing them to change their surnames and names and change their Hanfu clothes is also extremely disgusting, and this change in appearance cannot change their original intentions, and it is very difficult to implement.
Just like Zhu Yuanzhang does not allow businessmen and civilians without fame to wear silk, as long as people have money at home, it is a big deal to put on a cloth shirt when they go out, and they are even dressed in silk when they are at home, who cares This is especially true of ethnic minorities, this kind of forced surname decree can only allow them to take a Han name indiscriminately when registering their household registration, and wear a Han dress when they go out, and this is specifically referring to Yanjing and Datong, in the eastern Liaodong region to the attached tribes, Zhu Yuanzhang is worried that they are arrogant and barbaric, and they have trouble with the Han people, and their resettlement is basically divided into land and autonomous, and it is absolutely impossible to implement the above policies in this case.
As for the forced prohibition of marriage within the clan, there is an order that has not been enforced at all.
This is an idealine of Zhu Yuanzhang's idealism, and the officials who do specific things do not want to be in line with the yang and the yin, and they have to be in line with the yin, which is similar to the division of the Yuan people into four classes and other people, and the political and personal rights of the Han and the southern people.
These coercive assimilation measures are quick success, it only notices the effect that can be achieved after several generations, but ignores that the people who carry it out have their own feelings and thoughts, and these crude and simple policies will only make some tribes who are sincerely attached to them feel that the court despises them and does not trust them, which is not conducive to Huairou and fighting.
These things, Xia Xun talked about each of them very carefully, what he opposed, what he opposed, what he was for, what he was in favor of, and he gave very detailed examples after the reason was finished, Xia Xun said: "There are very few forced marriages in Liaodong, and this decree exists in name only."
Even if it is vigorously implemented in areas where conditions permit, they obviously have a desirable spouse within their own clan, but they are forced to choose another marriage by decree.
As a result, most of them create a pair of resentful couples, which in turn causes conflicts between the two families, and then there is a conflict between the two races."
Zhu Di has been in Beiping for more than 20 years, he is not ignorant of these things, and he is deeply convinced of what Xia Xun said, "Instead of forcing integration, but forcing them to oppose each other, it is better to moisten things silently, although it takes longer, but it is more effective", Zhu Di nodded lightly and said: "Well, I have lived in Yanjing for a long time, and I have often heard about these things.
I generally agree with what you said, but the specific policies involved are too complicated to understand for a while. ” Xia Xun was busy and complimented.
Zhu Di's eyes froze, and he said: "What does the so-called army restructuring mean?"
Xia Xun took a deep breath and said, "A system of tuntian; The second is the system of military households" The system of tuntian and the formulation of military households are also the two policies that Zhu Yuanzhang is very proud of, but from the beginning of the formulation of these two policies, there are a series of problems, even in the Hongwu Dynasty, even if it is a strong emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang, there are often ministers who are sparse, and raise objections to the disadvantages of these policies.
So Xia Xun only said these two items, and before he could say the content, Zhu Di's brows frowned slightly.
The complexity and difficulty of the reform are extremely high, and if it is implemented throughout the country, it will involve millions of troops and millions of military families, which is the foundation of the country, and even the emperor does not dare to pat his head and rashly agree.
What's more, the special office set up under the Liaodong Shogunate was the official office, and a large number of officials who were pulled up by Xia Xun would turn into court officials, and then let him also start to hold Tuntian and military households, and the words of Yu Yu and Chen Shou and others covered a layer of haze in his heart.
Zhu Di is not a fool who grew up in the hands of a woman in the deep palace, and he may not believe in the words of killing.
However, guarding against the loss of power is an instinct and necessity of being a ruler.
The firmness of power is the guarantee of the stability of the country, even if it is a biological son, you can't hope for affection and trust, this is a necessary means.
Zhu Di stood up, paced a few steps in the hall, and said slowly: "These things are very difficult, and if they really want to change, they involve too many people, and without ten years of hard work, I am afraid that there will be no results at all." ” Xia Xun also stood up and said, "If the emperor goes to do it now, it may be difficult for ten years."
But if the emperor doesn't do it, when the situation becomes even more unbearable in the future, it will be more difficult to ask the emperor's descendants to do it.

In addition, what the minister said, it can be implemented locally first, especially in Liaodong, where one has a limited number of tuntian, and the other has a small number of hukou and a lot of land, and it will not take ten years, but only five years, and it can completely change, and at that time, with successful examples and experience explored, it will be much easier for the emperor to implement it throughout the country. ” Zhu Di turned his head and glanced at him, and asked: "Then I will hand over Liaodong to you, give you five years, and I will give you ten years of hard work, can you be sure that Liaodong will be governed for thousands of miles, connected to Tunbao, with a thriving population, and strong horses."
Xia Xun straightened his chest and said angrily: "Your Majesty, other local ministers dare not guarantee that Liaodong has abundant resources but has not been developed, so it is easy to change."
It doesn't take ten years, as long as the law is applied and five years of hard work, Liaodong will definitely be able to achieve what the emperor wants.
However, " Xia Xun's shoulders collapsed, with a bitter face, and begged in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done without the emperor's nod, if the emperor nods, and it must be done by the ministers, then it proves that this policy is not in line with the will of heaven and the will of the people, but it is a move against heaven with power, people are in government, people are in government, and people are dead, and there is no value in implementing change."
Zhu Di heard him take the initiative to ask for help, saying that it would only take five years to make Liaodong a big change, and his heart sank, but when he heard his sentence again, he seemed to be unwilling to live in Liaodong for a long time, his eyebrows were raised, and he stared at him and said, "How" Xia Xun said with a sigh: "This, the minister said, it is the duty of the minister to share worries for the emperor."
Liaodong, as long as the emperor nods and the ministers go to pave the road, three or five months of hard work can always formulate a more detailed policy.
Then, the emperor sent an old and serious minister to sit in Liaodong to ensure that the policy was implemented correctly. ” Zhu Di's tense face relaxed, a smile flashed in his eyes, he glanced at him with a smile, and asked: "Oh, you have just reached your thirties, you are young and strong, isn't it just right to guard Liaodong for me, hand over Liaodong to an old man who is a serious minister, then where do you want to go?"
Xia Xun smiled dryly: "The emperor is in charge of such a big world, but it's not just Liaodong.
The minister wants to follow the emperor around, make plans for the emperor, share worries and solve problems, where there is an emergency, the emperor gives an order, and the minister rushes to cook.
Running Liaodong, the minister is young and strong, energetic is true, but the young also has a young errand The emperor also knows that the minister is not a person who can calm down and focus on one thing for decades, if the minister has such a surname, after the initial examination in Xiucai, continue to study seriously, I am afraid that I will not take the test to raise people into the scholar, even if the background is not good, with the wealth of the minister's family, food and clothing are worry-free, in Qingzhou Haoshou poor scriptures, study knowledge, the future is also a highly respected erudite Confucian, how can he borrow the façade of the Qi Wangfu and go to Beiping to do business Your Majesty, the minister is afraid that he will not have a surname to do things, if he is in Liaodong for a long time, he will be tired of it for a long time, neglect political affairs, miss the major affairs of the court, betray the trust of the emperor, and harm the military and people of Liaodong, so" Zhu Di saw him rubbing his hands, racking his brains to think of reasons, for fear that he would really "assign" him to Liaodong, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I will make a joke with you, look at you in a hurry, if you really let you stay in Liaodong for a long time, Ming'er will not fight with me Hehe, okay, you first talk carefully, what do you think about the system of Tuntian and the system of military households." ” As soon as Zhu Di said this, Mu En tiptoed and appeared at the door like a ghost, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, Niangniang called the slave maid to come and urge the emperor to rest in peace." ” Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, okay, then let's rest, talk about Mu En again tomorrow, and lead Yang Xu to the dormitory to rest."
Xia Xun hurriedly bowed and said: "The minister obeys the order, bow to Your Majesty" Xia Xun's Liao Dongfang was quite Zhu Di's mind, and a long talk went to a piece of his heart, it was very relaxed, and he didn't want to happily turn back to the dormitory, and he threw a roll of his eyes at Queen Xu, and said angrily: "Yang Xu just came back, you just hold on, if I don't send someone to bombard, I don't know when to talk, how can you be such a brother-in-law, so unkind."
Xia Xun was led by Mu En, turned east and west, and arrived at the palace where he was recuperating in Yanwang's Mansion, raised his eyes and looked, the palace lamp was hung high, shining on the beauty under the corridor, Luo Xiang embroidered robe, a silk cotton armor with a pure color, slim and elegant, swaying, but the body stood a little inward, and he couldn't see his face.
Xia Xun's heart jumped: "It's too polite to have a palace maid to sleep with the emperor, isn't this forcing me to make a mistake?"
