As the first day of October is getting closer and closer, Nanjing has already been busy with a pot of porridge.

It's time to move the capital.

As for Zhu Yunwen's decision to move the capital from Nanjing to Beijing, it is naturally divided into two factions, one for support and one against it, which is a very normal thing, and naturally each has its own reasons.

The simplest explanation is that the people of Nanjing do not want to move the capital because it will affect their income.

And the people who were far away in Beijing began to look forward to it many years earlier, waiting for Zhu Yunwen to arrive with the central court.

The common people don't understand the meaning of moving the capital, and there will be support and opposition, so there is really no need to over-interpret this matter, Zhu Yunwen explained to the cabinet sometimes even he felt that he couldn't say it, and in the end he still stared, and the court was suddenly quiet.

Since this matter is both positive and negative, why bother to block the emperor and find it unhappy?

Thinking about it this way, no one will persuade the big guy anymore.

The only thing that the cabinet is now entangled in is the question of how to split and organize the Nanzhili after the relocation of the capital.

Nanzhili must be demolished, and the plan is to split it into two provinces.

Anhui and Jiangsu.

As for why it was split, it is not that Nanzhili is too big, the population is too large, and the proportion of the economy is worried about these factors, but the cabinet and Zhu Yunwen have not worried about these factors at all.

Because Nanzhili itself is a plate of loose sand, divided into two provinces, it is called sitting big.

There are more than a dozen prefectures in Nanzhili, and these governments have their own administrations and have always been directly governed by the cabinet, so it invisibly involves part of the cabinet's energy in governance, and it is also an invisible consumption of political resources and time.

At present, the Ming Dynasty only has seven directly governed prefectures in Beijing, Nanjing, Quanzhou, Fengyang, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen, according to the plan of Zhu Yunwen and the cabinet, in the future, after the war against Timur is over, Samarkand may consider setting up a new direct government, but estimating the traffic situation, Zhu Yunwen and the cabinet have canceled this idea.

Leave it to the next generation.

The title of Nanzhili will not continue to exist, but will be changed to two provinces, and the specific administration of the local government will be directly explained by the cabinet to the provincial level, and it will be implemented at all levels.

Correspondingly, if there are any matters that the governments cannot decide, they will be handed over to the newly established provincial-level public offices, instead of being sent directly all the way to the Wenhua Palace, wasting the precious time of the cabinet in governance.

"The new Anhui Cheng announced that the political envoy plans to take Luzhou Mansion as the province and govern Guo Hefei County, and if Jiangsu is to take Suzhou Prefecture as the province and govern Guo Suzhou County."

The cabinet decided on the two new provinces, including the city and the jurisdiction of the government, and found Zhu Yunwen to get the idea, and at the same time prepared a letter of appointment for the officials of the two provinces after the election.

The officials of the various prefectures basically remained in their posts, mainly the two provincial-level public offices that had just been set up, and the officials who needed to be supplemented went to the sea.

The number of chief officials in the two provinces and the number of officials in each department is two or three hundred, and the number of directors and deputies and public servants subdivided into departments, departments, and sections alone requires several thousand public officials.

"The cabinet does not plan to transfer public servants from other places to fill the two provinces this time, and all the public officials who do not have good qualities or the staff members who have reached the grassroots level will all be filled by students who are about to graduate from Nanjing University, Zhejiang University, Shandong University and Jiangxi University."

Xu Buji's words can be regarded as a golden job for this group of college students.

Regarding this proposal, Zhu Yunwen and several members of the cabinet agreed after a brief breath, which can indeed give this group of college students a chance to exercise.

Although this is more risky than directly opening the provincial examination, for example, if it is not assigned, can the ability and knowledge of this group of college students pass the provincial examination?

And if they can't pass the provincial examination and recruit them into the yamen in this way of direct assignment to posts, then problems will easily arise in their future work.

But the benefits are also particularly obvious.

The tradition of college students assigning work has been done for many years now, which has also become a disguised incentive.

But in families where children are in school, parents are urging their children to study hard.

"Baby, you must be admitted to college."

To a certain extent, going to college is a fate-changing leap for children from ordinary families in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunwen must let cognition continue to exist for more than 30 or even 50 years.

It's not just twenty or thirty years later, and you hear things like 'there are as many college students as dogs, and college graduation is not as good as killing pigs to make more money'.

Admittedly, even if this is true, going to school is not the only way out for a child.

But the current Ming Dynasty, the current China, what is necessary is for everyone to study hard.

Only when there are enough intellectuals can the country accumulate knowledge reserves more quickly and increase the speed of progress.

When the country has achieved a leading position in science and technology over other countries or regions for more than a few hundred years, and is itself in an adaptive and stable progress, then the country's demand for this piece is no longer so urgent, and then there is no need for the country to be so deliberately guided to adapt to the changes of the times and society.

"Let's take care of the specific matters of the establishment of the province, and how are the preparations for the relocation of various ministries and departments?"

Zhu Yunwen asked casually, and the response he got was that he was basically ready.

At that moment, Zhu Yunwen got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Gaochi.

"Your Majesty, there is a problem here."

After a pause, Zhu Yunwen looked back in surprise: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Gaochi was entangled for a while and then spoke: "That is, after the capital is moved, what will happen to this Nanjing Palace?" ”

Hearing that it was this incident, Zhu Yunwen suddenly realized.

Nanjing's imperial palace covers an extremely wide area, and after he goes north, this large area is bound to be vacant, and it is impossible for anyone to live in it, and no one dares to live in it.

"What does the cabinet think?"

Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Gaochi.

"Gu Chen's understanding in the Imperial Front Division is that the cost of maintenance, repair, and cleaning alone is an astronomical amount. And that's not even the cost of rebuilding the temple and the building after the fire that will inevitably occur during the thunderstorm. ”

Zhu Yunwen has never been distracted by economic expenditure, and when he heard Xu Buji say this, he sat back and asked about double happiness on the side.

"Double happiness, right now, how much is the cost of this palace for a year."

"About twenty-seven million."

Shuangxi said indifferently, but it made Zhu Yunwen jump his eyebrows.

"So expensive?"

Although 27 million is a drop in the bucket for Zhu Yunwen at the moment, if you convert it, it is an astronomical amount.

It doesn't cost 100,000 yuan to train a child from an early age until he graduates from college.

The cost of repairing a palace a year can raise 300 children.

"This is only the cost of the foundation, the first two years of lightning strikes, the provincial bow hall destroyed more than half, just the restoration and reconstruction of the cost of nearly 40 million, after all, a lot of wood has to be transported from Yunnan, Siam, to hundreds of craftsmen to carve some details on the carving, plus gilding, Beijing bricks, porcelain, burning tiles or something, the cost is naturally large."

The total number of double good news was complete, which also made Zhu Yunwen frown unnaturally.

In the face of natural disasters, he doesn't care if you are an ordinary people's house or a palace and palace, and you are unlucky, this thunder is correct.

"What about the opinion of the cabinet, since Your Majesty has gone to Beijing, this piece is sealed, and there is no need to repair and maintain it every year, so it will be changed to be cleaned up every three or five years."

Zeng Wenji said his thoughts boldly and boldly: "Although this money is really nothing to the dynasty, it is always unnecessary to be extravagant and wasteful. ”

"Isn't it an unwarranted expense to raise a child every three years?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth and said such a proposal: "No, let's open this palace as a scenic spot, and use the tourists' sightseeing money for maintenance expenses." ”

"Never!"

Shuangxi beside him was taken aback.

The palace is open to the public as a scenic spot, so that those lynx, wild monkeys, and mud-legged people can enter and exit the Fengtian Temple at will, what has become of it?

is that even Xu Buji expressed his dissupport at this moment.

"There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people, opening the palace to the outside world, not because the ministers look down on the people, but because the people will inevitably have vulgarity after all, Fengtian Palace, Qianqing Palace are all sacred residences, is it a bit inappropriate.

According to the minister, it is quite expensive to repair tens of millions of dollars a year, but in the end, it is nothing to the dynasty. ”

"How can you say it's nothing."

Zhu Yunwen folded his fingers and calculated an account: "A soldier in the frontier has a salary of only 20,000 yuan a year, an allowance of 10,000 yuan, and 20,000 yuan if he fights, and the total amount is only 50,000."

27 million can support more than 500 soldiers, for such a basically vacant building, waste a year's salary of more than 500 martial arts athletes who fought bloodily for our Ming Dynasty, I don't think this is reasonable.

Open viewing, you can put two guards on the throne of the golden chair such as the first three halls and the last three palaces, and the bed where I slept in the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, when I moved north, I let the imperial front division also be transported to Beijing, and the province made a new one. ”

Where money should be spent, it is billions or tens of billions Zhu Yunwen is not distressed, and if you spend a little money that should not be spent, Zhu Yunwen can feel distressed for a long time.

Especially with such a waste of the country's money, Zhu Yunwen is reluctant to even think about it.

Seeing that several people were still planning to persuade, Zhu Yunwen had already raised his hand and got up.

"It's not a matter of discussion, it's settled, let's go back."

"Yes, the ministers are leaving."

A few people bowed down and said goodbye.

After leaving the palace, Kuang Yihe shook his head and sighed.

"Your Majesty is so diligent and thrifty, it is really embarrassing for me to be a courtier."

I have never seen such an emperor in history, in order to save the money for repairing the palace, he simply opened it to the public as a scenic spot.

Not only did the money for the renovation of the palace come back, but several ministers knew it in their hearts.

You can also earn a lot of money in reverse!

This is the most desirable place in the hearts of the people, but it is full of mystery, let alone the people, it is the Beijing officials in Beijing, and how many of them have entered the palace if they are not good?

The tour fee could not be lower.

At the same time, it is necessary to open source by the way.

"Although the matter of opening the imperial palace as a tourist attraction has been sacred, it is still necessary to tell the future Nanjing that it is very important to protect several extremely important things."

When Xu Buji walked all the way out of Chengtianmen, he looked back and looked up.

"Especially the portrait of the monarch's father between the Chengtian Gate and the palaces and palaces, it must not be polluted, even if the gangsters are punished afterwards, the bad impact will be extremely huge."

"Yes, don't worry."

Several people stood by Xu Buji's wheel, watching the latter get in the car and leave, and then they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
