Zhu Youxiao looked at these high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty with joy, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Now they no longer talk about benevolence and morality, but put the interests of Ming Dynasty first.
In order to deal with Chahar Khan, who is not sincerely surrendering, they are also willing to temporarily put aside their morality and make some preparations first.
But if he announced that he would deal with the Mongols when Chahar Khan did not tear up the agreement, then these people would definitely jump out to oppose it.
This is the Ming Dynasty person in Zhu Youxiao's mind.
He has integrity and is unwilling to use lies to deceive even his enemies, but does not prevent him from using some small means to nip problems in the bud.
When the enemy does not openly rebel or shows obvious opposition, the parties should still act in accordance with the agreement between the two parties.
You must be on guard against others, and you must not have the intention of harming others.
If Chahar Khan sincerely surrenders, gives the imperial seal, and grazes on the grassland with peace of mind, then he will not be stingy with mere rewards, and will be willing to live in eternal peace with him.
But since its motives are inherently impure, it is of course necessary to prepare countermeasures.
Zhu Youxiao knew very well that if he only brought knowledge that was beyond this era, it might put Ming Dynasty in the leading position for a period of time, but after he left this world and he felt that China was lagging behind Europe and the United States, it was not actually the case.
Technology, but ideas.
Therefore, the most important thing is to slowly change the minds of the Chinese people.
Changing the minds of officials is the most important part, because after all, he is only one person, and his imperial edict also needs the help of officials to be implemented.
A month later, the Chahar Ministry gave up all the land suitable for farming near the Great Wall, and at the same time handed over the Han people on the original land to the Ming army as slaves.
In addition to farmers, these Han people also have a large number of craftsmen.
Originally, the Chahar people were unwilling to hand over the craftsmen, but Lu Xiangsheng directly stated that if there was still a Han slave in the hands of the Mongols, all transactions would be cancelled, and the Ming Dynasty The emperor ordered that Han people should not be slaves.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty also considered that the Mongols themselves could not manufacture many daily necessities, so they expanded the types of goods supplied by the horse market.
Items such as iron pots are supplied in large quantities and are guaranteed to be supplied in the future.
Iron pots are made of pig iron anyway, and the Mongols cannot turn them into weapons.
They can also dispose of domestic iron blocks of poor quality at a high price.
In exchange for a large number of livestock such as cattle and sheep, why not do it.
The Han people who came from the Mongols all became farmers on the farms.
Domestically manufactured high-quality agricultural tools, coupled with cattle and horses and other livestock, coupled with domestically developed farming methods, and domestically mature management models, it is foreseeable that in a short period of time, this will become the country closest to Mongolia.
Big granary.
Taking this incident as an opportunity, the emperor issued an imperial edict: no Han people could become slaves, even voluntarily.
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty issued an edict to reform slaves into good people.
For a time, the number of slaves in the country was greatly reduced.
However, since the middle of Ming Dynasty, the trend of slavery has slowly flourished again.
In fact, these people are not slaves in the true sense, but exist in the form of domestic servants and child servants.
Information from Jinyi Guardian shows that the number of domestic slaves in some places is staggering.
Wu Mengming once wrote: "The Wu official family has as many as one or two thousand slaves."
And Luo Sigong's report is even more shocking: "The four families of Mei, Liu, Tian, and Li in Macheng, Hubei Province have no less than three or four thousand children. ” The largest group of slaves - palace maids and eunuchs - were changed by the emperor's decree as early as the third year of the Apocalypse.
When the palace maids reach the age of twenty-three, or those who have been in the palace for eight years, they will be released from the palace to get married, and the royal family will also pay them their salaries for these years.
The palace maids recruited in the future must also enter the palace on a voluntary basis and pass an examination, and they can leave the palace at the age of twenty, so they are no longer humble.
The eunuchs are a special group.
The emperor also banned self-castration among the people in the third year of the Apocalypse, and there has been no recruitment of eunuchs since the third year of the Apocalypse.
Only a very small number of people who committed crimes that deserved death but had extenuating circumstances were pardoned by the emperor and converted to palace punishment with their consent.
They also entered the palace voluntarily to serve as internal officials, and they were not considered lowly.
As for those eunuchs who were originally in the palace, they could not be released to live on their own like the maids, so Wei Zhongxian was assigned to various places to manage some royal properties, but they were also good citizens who had escaped their lowly status.
After the emperor's imperial edict was issued, the Jinyiwei began to take action.
The first thing they checked was the various palaces.
When the emperor released the maids out of the palace in the third year of the Apocalypse, various palaces also released a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people, but then more young and beautiful ones were admitted.
And with so many young and beautiful women, the princes and princes naturally had to recruit more eunuchs to protect their harems.
The emperor issued an order prohibiting self-castration.

He could ban most of them, but he could not prohibit the princes from selecting some people to castrate. , enrich their own eunuch team.
A group of ferocious guards in royal robes came to Prince Fu's Mansion in Henan Prefecture.
The gatekeepers could not stop them and rushed into the palace.
While rushing back, some people were left behind to control all parts of the palace.
Prince Fu Zhu Changxun was listening to the play, when one of his subordinates ran in and shouted: "Your Majesty, something is wrong.
The Emperor has sent people to kill you."
He suddenly turned pale and wanted to stand up and run away, but he forgot that he was going to He was able to stand up with help from others.
After struggling twice, he didn't move at all.
His eldest son Zhu Yousong stood up and kicked the subordinate to the ground, cursing: "What nonsense are you talking about?
How could the emperor come to kill my father for no reason?
What happened to such a useless thing?"
thing."
Zhu Yousong knew that his father had always been obedient and did everything according to the emperor's wishes, but he just didn't want to give the emperor an excuse to reduce his rank.
It is absolutely impossible for the emperor to send people to kill him.
There must be some misunderstanding.
Sure enough, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, the royal guards have sealed off the palace, saying they want to check the list of slaves."
Prince Fu felt relieved and said, "Prince, go and negotiate with the Jinyi Guards.
We have already released a large number of palace maids from the palace, so there should be no problem."
Zhu Yousong was not so relaxed in his heart.
He knew that although the palace had released the palace maids, it still continued to recruit internal officials, who were brought into the palace and then castrated into deacons.
Moreover, the tenants in the family were basically slaves.
If the emperor If you really make up your mind to investigate, you will definitely find the mistake.
Sure enough, Jin Yiwei found 213 cases of private castration in Prince Fu's Mansion, more than 3,500 people who were slaves in peasant households, and 531 maids who were lowly registered.
There was no problem with the peasants and the palace maids, because the imperial edict was issued, but private castration was a blatant resistance to the decree.
The emperor was furious and ordered Prince Fu's Mansion to change all slave peasants and palace maids to good ones, and compensate the castrates two thousand yuan each.
He also fined and confiscated 10,000 hectares of his land as a warning to others
