Chapter 417 Factory Guard

Emperor Wanli, who had been living in the deep palace for a long time, finally entered Tsinghua Park, gradually felt that his empire was in trouble.

In the autumn of the eighth year of Wanli, the court still argued about withdrawing troops and defending Daning City. The emperor commanded Liang Menglong, who was in charge of food and wages, provided winter clothes to the Qi family army in Daning City.

The emperor has been thinking about the national income statistics, but the more accurate population, the land data is increasing day by day. Last month, his empire's land just reached 7 million hectares, and this month it has become 7,013,976 hectares.

Last month, the number of people under his rule was 74 million, and this month it became 75.24 million.

This census, which was opposed by most imperial officials, was a huge success and gave Emperor Wanli a more intuitive understanding of the number of people living in the world.

But the emperor was not satisfied with such a number. He wanted to make the empire more fields, so he was busy comparing the number of fields in Tsinghua Park to draw circles in the number of fields in the royal family... Whoever was hooked up will be loaded on a boat at the beginning of next spring and sent to the royal family university in the East China Sea.

In Wanli's eyes, the Asia hosted by Chen Mu was the paper basket of the Ming Empire, re-education that should be re-educated, and land that should be divided into vassal states.

"Don't want to go? If you don't want to go, you will cut off your title. It's all the decision of the court. What do you care about me?" The emperor glanced at the confused King Lu, shook his head at Xu Jue who was standing beside him and said, "Anyone who draws circles is what I think can be cut; I don't know if it can be cut off. Governor Xu, you have to help me with the advice."

Since Xu Jue was called to this Tsinghua University, he had one head and two big ones.

First of all, he didn't know why the world's No. 1 Garden was tortured by the emperor and his group of imperial guards.

He rode with the emperor on a steam boat in front of the lake in Tsinghua Park, feeling the vibration of the steam engine coming from the deck under his feet. The chimney behind him made a deflated sneer from time to time, and Governor Xu, the Jinyi, looked around.

He used to be an old guest of Tsinghua Park. At that time, the garden was still from Li Wei, the man from Wuqing. It was really a beautiful scenery all year round. Now the sea of ​​flowers is gone and the sea of ​​strange stones is gone, but now there are only these twenty-mile willow embankments left.

No matter where he looked, he felt that he was dressed up like a battlefield.

Secondly, he didn't understand why the emperor was in love with the reduction of the vassal states again.

However, the young emperor seemed to be in the same mood as him. Before he could ask, he said: "I didn't think about the land in the past. Now, the data reported from various places have been summarized. Once I make a calculation, my people only have an average of nine acres of land."

"Their income has not been calculated yet, but I think it will not be too high. Since ancient times, we say that hiding rich people and using them for the people is also said that the people are more important than the country, and the king is less important; but I don't want to be less important."

Xu Jue was confused by the emperor's righteous words... Your Majesty, if you don't want to be careless, then we won't be careless. Why do you say this?

"If I don't think too much, I have to make the country more important and the people more important. In this way, I will be depressed." The emperor thought his logic was flawless, so he raised his hand and said, "There are four types of fields: Wangzhuang, Huangzhuang, military camp, and civil fields."

"Wangzhuang is the least important, so take it first, and those who can be clear will be clear." The emperor looked at Xu Jue, who stood in front of him and wanted to help his stomach but did not dare. Until he saw Xu Jue feeling scared, he frowned and asked, "Governor Xu, are you a good person?"

Xu Jue swallowed his saliva, and this question was difficult to answer. Finally, she thought about it and replied carefully: "Your Majesty wants to make the little minister a good person, and the little minister is a good person; Your Majesty wants to make the little minister a bad person, and the little minister is a bad person."

Sitting on the forecastle steps, Emperor Wanli, who was holding an orange cat, fixed the black gold crown on his head, and heard the answer, curled his lips and chuckled, saying, "You are not a good person, this matter is easy to deal with."

"Take this time, I will expand the Jinyiwei first. There are at most 40,000 remaining Jinyi Ti cavalry in China, which is far from enough."

Forty thousand is not enough?

Xu Jue heard Guang want to scratch his head and bowed, "Your Majesty wants to expand the brocade clothes, but there is no shortage of officers."

After generations of generations, most of the Jinyiwei are officials, and there are countless people who are entitled to do the work of a Han general with hundreds of households. Once they are expanded, they just happen to have real teachings. How powerful is Xu Jue, if he wants to have such a skill?

In fact, the Jinyiwei has more than 40,000, but in recent years, it has been dispatched to the South China and the Malacca Strait, the Western Military Office, Goa, the Eastern Military Office, Changsheng, and North Korea in Beiyang. Japan has successively sent more than 40,000 Jinyi, but in fact, the Jinyiwei in China has only more than 20,000 Jinyiwei.

"I wonder how much your Majesty wants to expand?"

The emperor paused his hand when he was petting the cat, raised his head and said lightly, "Forty thousand."

"Leave the recruitment of soldiers to you. They are best for poor and poor clan members. If they have committed robbery or beggars because of poverty, they can be hired as appropriate; if they have committed robbery, injured people and fled and fled, they can be hired as appropriate; if they have committed serious crimes such as murder, they will be recorded in one piece."

"After they were woven into brocade clothes, they were trained, and they were scattered in various places to investigate secretly. One was corrupt officials, two was offenders, three was illegal acts of the royal family, four was corruption in the imperial village, five was invading military fields, six was occupying civil fields, and seven was corrupt governments."

Xu Jue's breathing was heavy. In his opinion, this was tantamount to the emperor's charge to restore the Jinyiwei to supervise the world, and to the generation of Jinyi Governors.

The emperor slowly curled his lips and looked at Xu Jue and said quietly: "Governor Xu, remember that the Jinyiwei monitors not the world, nor the people, but civil and military officials, royal relatives... I will also let someone take care of you. If I let me know that your people are persecuting the people, you can guess what the consequences are."

"Don't make a statement for now. The Jinyiwei will recruit soldiers, train, supervise, report, and punish them. All of them will be formulated and sent to me when they are ready."

After the emperor said that, he waved his hand and said, "You take your leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jue looked around and was confused. Their current location was in the middle of the lake, where did he retreat?

Then there was a thud behind him. Wang An, the emperor's confidant, was untiing the rope. The small oars carried by the bird boat were already placed on the lake. The little eunuch waved his whisk: "Governor Xu, please?"

Xu Jue had just left, and he could not help but climbed the cable off the boat. Wang An held the side of the boat and smiled at him and said in a low voice: "By the way, Governor Xu, grandpa said that it's time for Jinyi to practice the skills of playing court sticks. No one is afraid of court sticks."

After getting off the big bird boat, the military eunuch rowed the boat and took Xu Jue toward the willow embankment. Xu Jue, who was sitting on the boat, felt sweating behind him, and the wind was very cold.

The emperor personally controlled the military power. Even if it was just the military power of a few guards, he had his own power when speaking, which was frightening.

What scared him even more was that at this moment, he had no idea what the emperor wanted to do.
