Fa allows His Highness Min to see his achievements and progress.

At the beginning of the founding of any feudal dynasty, "heroes" were awarded titles based on their meritorious service. Those who had high merit and were trusted by the emperor were often awarded important tasks. Because the emperor regarded the entire country as privately owned by one person and one surname, and hoped to pass it on.

For thousands of generations, they have tried to make the heirs of heroes loyal to and support their own descendants. Even if the heirs of heroes are incompetent and have made no achievements, they are still allowed to ascend to the title and position.

The descendants of heroes who were sealed off grew up in a comfortable and prosperous environment. Most of them indulged in pleasure, were arrogant and self-reliant, and exploited and ruled the people to satisfy their extravagant life. This is like the rise and fall of a feudal dynasty, and the politics of the Qingming Dynasty.

And the process of [***] is basically the same for this kind of honorable ministers.

The same is true for the Mu family in Yunnan, Shizhen. It began to degenerate from the third generation Mu Sheng, and began to decline from its prosperity. The evil deeds of the remnants of the people to amass wealth and disturb the local area reached its peak by the time of the seventh generation Duke Mu Chaobi.

The family is also fighting for power and profit, seeking brother's property, annihilating relatives and sisters-in-law, bullying young nephews, and even killing parents and children. Their moral corruption is shocking.

By the time of the last Duke Mu Tianbo, the Mu Mansion, like the Ming Dynasty, was also riddled with holes and accumulated a lot of problems, and its influence in Yunnan was greatly weakened. Mu Tianbo did not give up any request from the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty to come to help him pay.

The members of the Mu Mansion continued to be greedy and cruel, first provoking the Yuanmou chieftain to rebel, and then Sha Dingzhou, who coveted the Mu family's wealth, started a rebellion, and the Mu Mansion was almost destroyed.

When Chongzhen died in Yanjing, Mu Tianbo once called on the chieftains to send troops to avenge the emperor, but very few responded, which shows that the authority of the Mu Mansion has been extremely declining. When Mu Tianbo followed him into Myanmar, the Mu Mansion, which has a history of hundreds of years, can be said to be weak.

It is difficult to revive, so Zhu Yongxing will naturally not let go of the opportunity to create advantages and eliminate disadvantages.

As soon as he gained a foothold in Annan, Zhu Yongxing issued an order to change the rents of all the Mu family houses in areas controlled by the Ming army to have their own levies on their behalf. He was even more unkind to those in his own jurisdiction and ordered the stewards of the Mu family houses to be levied on their behalf.

All the sons were dismissed from their posts and sent to Annan for resettlement. The Zhuang soldiers were disbanded on the spot and either joined the army or granted land to the people. After that, Zhu Yongxing took over all the land in Xunzhuang as state-owned, reduced rents and taxes, and greatly exploited the villagers.

ease.

The southern edge of Lin'an Prefecture, which is now Yuanyang, Jinping and parts of Gejiu, is where the Mu family's Xunzhuang is concentrated. After the land was returned to the people, the Xunzhuang was returned to the country, and the tax was reduced, the people's morale was greatly stabilized.

, and became a relatively stable occupied area.
