After taking down the three tribes, the imperial court had a problem to solve. That was, how to deal with the three tribes. This was very important.
On the second day after the three reports arrived in the capital, a meeting was held in the Grand Council.
Although this meeting was held in the Grand Council, there were many people who came.
From the ministers of the Grand Council to the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, to the ministers of the six ministries and assistant ministers, this was an extended meeting.
Although so many people had come this time, this wasn't a meeting for discussion.
Zhu Yijun glanced at everyone and said expressionlessly, "The army has taken down the three Duoyan Guards."
"I won't say much about this matter. Today, I asked you here for one thing, and that is to bring the three Duoyan Guards into Daming.
I don't want the Daming to cause more chaos in the future, so I want to solve this matter once and for all. "
Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun stood up from the throne.
Walking straight to the front of the big map, Zhu Yijun said slowly, "I want to build a province in the place where the three Duoyan Guards are located, with three prefectures and nine counties. This province, I want to call it Rehe Province."
The ministers were all confused. Your Majesty, where did you get the name Rehe?
Are you serious?
But no one stood out to say anything. You are the Emperor, you have the final say. At this time, no one would contradict Zhu Yijun because of a name.
If you want to call it Rehe, then it will be called Rehe.
"The original place where the Duoyan Guards are located will be Chengde Prefecture, where the Tai Ning Tribe is located will be Chifeng Prefecture, and where the original Fuyu sect is located will be Baicheng Prefecture. Each prefecture will have three counties."
Turning back, Zhu Yijun's eyes swept across the faces of the people and said slowly.
"I don't think it's appropriate!" Shen Shixing suddenly stood up and said something that no one expected.
Whether it was Zhu Yijun or the ministers present, no one expected this.
In fact, Shen Shixing's presence in the past two years was not high.
Since the establishment of the Grand Council, the power of the Cabinet had been divided to some extent. In addition, Zhu Yijun himself focused on the Grand Council, making the Cabinet far less dazzling than before.
Shen Shixing's status as a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet had declined greatly, so he didn't have much of a presence.
In fact, things were not as the outside world had guessed. Zhu Yijun did not hate Shen Shixing. In fact, Zhu Yijun valued Shen Shixing very much.
Without Shen Shixing's cooperation, what Zhu Yijun wanted to do would be very difficult.
If Shen Shixing hadn't pretended to be confused, if Shen Shixing hadn't worked hard, Daming wouldn't be where he was today.
Originally, Zhu Yijun didn't intend to listen to anyone's opinion on this matter. However, seeing Shen Shixing stand up and raise an objection, Zhu Yijun said in a gentle voice, "Pavilion Elder Shen, do you think it's inappropriate?"
"Your Majesty has expanded the territory and made the Northern Region safe and secure. The people live and work in peace and contentment. This is an eternal merit, so there's nothing inappropriate about it.
As the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, it's my honor to serve a wise ruler like Your Majesty. "
Everyone looked at Shen Shixing's old face and was speechless. They thought he was going to make some shocking remarks, but it turned out that he was going to stand up and flatter the Emperor. He was so shameless.
Well, listening to Shen Shixing's words, it was indeed a great merit. When they went back, they had to write a congratulatory note. It must be written well and beautifully.
"What I object to is the establishment of a province. I think the three prefectures should be divided into Liaodong and Northern Zhili. Among them, Chengde Prefecture should be in Northern Zhili, and the Jing Camp should send troops to guard it."
"Chifeng Prefecture and Baicheng Prefecture should be in Liaodong. The three prefectures should be in two provinces, not a new province."
"The three prefectures should be in two provinces. Even if the people think that this is a new land of the imperial court, it's a place of Daming."
Shen Shixing's words were very vague, but no one present was a fool. Everyone could understand the meaning behind Shen Shixing's words.
In fact, if a new province was established, it would not be conducive to the integration of the imperial court.
To put it bluntly, a new province would be made up of the people of the three tribes of Duoyan.
If the three prefectures were merged into Northern Zhili and Liaodong, there would naturally be no such thing. In this era, there was a big difference between people from other provinces and people from the same province.
At the level of the prefectures, there would be such a big resistance.
Not to mention other places, once Chengde entered Northern Zhili, it would naturally be accepted.
Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing and fell into deep thought. In fact, Zhu Yijun also had his own plans for the establishment of a province.
Zhu Yijun wanted to make this newly acquired land a model province of Northern Daming.
A new province built on animal husbandry and wool spinning instead of farming.
It would lay a foundation for the establishment of the grassland province in the future.
However, Shen Shixing's words had to be taken into consideration. This era was not like the future. There was regional discrimination in the future, but there was no ethnic discrimination. This aspect was done very well.
But Daming was different. In this era, there was not only regional discrimination, but also ethnic discrimination.
The word 'barbarian' was not as simple as it sounded in this era.
Shen Shixing's words were very reasonable. How could Shen Shixing's ideas not conflict with his own ideas? Zhu Yijun fell into deep thought.
After a while, Zhu Yijun had his own ideas.
The three prefectures were placed in two provinces. They could use the three prefectures as the foundation to create two animal husbandry and herb provinces.
Of course, the animal husbandry and herb province referred to Liaodong, which was located in Chengde prefecture. Zhu Yijun planned to build a summer resort there.
Shen Shixing's ideas were more in line with the future. Zhu Yijun also had experience in doing this.
If he wanted to move the northern border of Daming and develop Chengde, the fastest way was to build a summer resort.
Once the summer resort was built, the Honours would naturally follow suit. Then, Chengde would inevitably become a large port in the north.
Zhu Yijun felt that Chengde could be positioned as a trade city and a city for cultivation.
In short, where could the summer leisure go? Chengde's summer resort?
Where could the grassland shopping go? Chengde's summer resort?
After thinking about it, Zhu Yijun said slowly, "Minister Shen's words are deeply rooted in my heart. Let's do it according to Minister Shen's words!"
Zhu Yijun also knew that Shen Shixing's words were from a certain country, because his suggestion might offend a lot of people.
Because of Shen Shixing's words, a province was gone.
A province represented an Inspector, a Administrative Commissioner, and an Inspector-General. They were all high-ranking officials of the frontier.
Although it was a newly built province, and although it was a desolate grassland, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble to be the governor of a province, regardless of whether it was grassland or not.
Now, because of Shen Shixing's words, it was estimated that the number of impeachment memorials of Shen Shixing would increase sharply.
"The cabinet and the six ministries should come up with a regulation for the selection of officials and dispatching of officials as soon as possible."
"All the officials need to set off as soon as possible. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has contacted many merchants to prepare to go out to buy cattle, horses, and sheep. They also need to sell the grassland. If the local officials don't enter, they won't be busy."
Zhu Yijun's words revealed a piece of news. "I'm going to sell the grassland. Will anyone buy it?"
