Chapter 163: Completely insane
By now, Yang Shaofeng no longer cares about the auction below.
Zhu Laosi is indeed crazy, and he is guilty of the same madness as Zhu Chongba - when he thinks that he can still use the knife on his own, all the problems will be solved, and future generations can be peaceful sons with peace of mind.
The question is, the previous lesson of Zhu Chongba is not enough? Wake up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, eat worse than pigs, and work more than donkeys. Zhu Chongba's "Emperor Ming Ancestral Teachings", how many people really obeyed it?
If Zhu Yunwen abides by the ancestral teachings of the Emperor Ming, then he will not toss to cut the domain, and Zhu Laosi will not raise troops to make it difficult.
If Zhu Laosi abides by the ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming, then after he succeeds in appeasement, he should seal the king and the clan, instead of taking Zhu Yunwen's old path to cut the domain.
To put it bluntly, no matter how stupid Zhu Yunwen is, he is also the heir who was cultivated by Zhu Laosi, although his ability is a little worse, but he still has courage and courage, unlike those fools who later held on to his ancestors and did not let go.
As for Zhu Laosi, the emperor who was killed on the battlefield, he is a typical pragmatist, Zu Xun used Zu Xun as a guise to raise troops to Jing Jian when he was useful, and after Jing was difficult to become the emperor, Zu Xun was useless.
Seeing that Yang Shaofeng was silent and did not speak, Zhu Laosi smiled and said: "Do you think that there are too many problems, and you think that manpower will eventually be poor, no matter how much I toss, it is impossible to solve all the problems?" ”
Yang Shaofeng hummed and said: "Grandfather loves his father-in-law and brother-in-law's heart, and his grandson can roughly understand it, but manpower is sometimes poor, and many problems have existed since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, and it is not a matter of one or two days to solve them all." ”
Zhu Laosi was silent for a long time, and suddenly said with a sigh: "You also know that the problem has existed since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, then you must also know what this means - if I don't start to solve it, if your stepfather wants to solve it, these things have become the ancestral system, and there is no way to solve them." ”
Yang Shaofeng opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.
Zhu Laosi is right, many problems were doomed from the beginning, but at the beginning, these problems did not highlight the disadvantages.
Just like the guard system and the clan system that were sprayed into slag by later generations, in the early Ming Dynasty, these systems were really bad?
Not.
Taking the guard system as an example, the last emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Shunzong, swept a large number of gold, silver and jewelry when he ran away, after the war of the Northern Dynasty to chase the Mengyuan Dynasty, the decline in population, and the barrenness of the fields became the biggest problem in front of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Chongba, who took over the Central Plains, found that the Ming Empire had the reputation and strength of the empire, but did not have the wealth to match the strength of the empire.
What can I do at this time? It is obviously impossible to count on Zhu Chongba, who was born as a cattle herder, to revitalize the economy of the Ming Dynasty and make the Ming Dynasty as rich as the Two Song Dynasty, and the model of the health system while cultivating and preparing for war has become the first choice of Zhu Chongba's classmates.
It is precisely because a large number of gold, silver and jewelry were taken away by Tuo Timur that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty at that time could really be empty enough to run mice, hundreds of officials and lulu had to be issued, river bridges and bridges had to be repaired, and soldiers and armor had to be prepared, what should I do? So the treasure money appeared.
In the same way, of course, there are many problems with the clan system set by Zhu Chongba's classmates, but at that time, the Northern Yuan Dynasty ran away and ran away, but it was not completely cool, so Zhu Chongba could only make his sons the king, the main purpose was to let these sons defend the frontier and defend the imperial court.
The effect is obvious, at least at that time, Zhu Laosi, the king of Yan, and Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, were the most active in wanting to kill the Northern Yuan - if they kill the Northern Yuan, their fiefdom will be larger, and the taxes will be more, and this prince will be more stable and comfortable.
The same applies to the preferential treatment of readers.
There are a lot of scholars who are loyal to the Northern Yuan, and there are also many who run away, and these territories and people that the Ming Dynasty fought down must have someone to govern, right? If there are not enough officials, who will handle the government? Therefore, Zhu Chongba can only give preferential treatment to scholars, so that more people can afford to read, and then help himself to deal with government affairs.
It can be said with certainty that in the eyes of later generations, these policies basically laid the root of the Ming Dynasty, but at that time, many of these policies were real good ways to govern the country.
Therefore, many issues cannot be viewed simply from the perspective of future generations, but must also be judged in light of the actual situation.
The only problem is that these problems erupted too late - if they erupted in the Yongle period, then the Ming Dynasty would have enough time to adjust these problems, and if they erupted again in the Xuande period, many problems would have accumulated and it would be difficult to return, not to mention that many problems would have erupted even later.
Fortunately, Yang Shaofeng, a traverser, really knows the consequences of these problems, and also knows how to expose these problems in advance.
Then Zhu Laosi, who loved his grandson, went completely crazy.
Zhu Laosi plans to take advantage of the fact that he can still use the knife to toss these problems first, at least to leave an excuse for future generations.
When it comes to this, Yang Shaofeng doesn't plan to persuade anymore - since Zhu Laosi is willing to go crazy, then he will follow the madness for a while, anyway, tossing with Zhu Zhanji is a toss, tossing with Zhu Laosi is also a toss, and it can be a big toss.
The reason is very simple, Zhu Laosi is not inferior to Zhu Chongba's ruthless person at all, much more ruthless than Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, not to mention those who are not successful.
Just when Yang Shaofeng was secretly thinking about how to persuade Zhu Laosi to make things bigger, the auction hall downstairs had just entered the climax stage.
Yingchun Road, the street closest to the imperial city, has sixty sets of small courtyards, numbered from No. 1 Yingchun Road to No. 60 Yingchun Road, all of which were photographed by Zhu Laosi's grandchildren and nephews - Zhu Laosi specially notified a large number of vassal kings and told them that they could buy a courtyard in the capital.
Moreover, Zhu Laosi vaguely revealed to his more than 20 brothers that except for the princes, the rest of the princes can study and do business.
In this way, the yard on Yingchun Road suddenly became sought-after, except for the first few sets that took a little effort, the remaining 50 sets were directly sold at a price of 50,000 yuan just after the start of the auction.
Well, it was probably Lin Yu who announced the start of the auction, and then Xu Qin, the Duke of Wei, shouted a sentence of one thousand and ten guan of the Duke of Wei's mansion, Xu Qin added it to ten thousand guan, and then Xu Qin shouted one thousand and ten guan, and then those eunuchs in charge of each palace would directly shout a sentence of fifty thousand guan.
After repeatedly, Xu Qin didn't even have the interest to shout the price, and the entire auction was almost a large-scale face-slapping scene, what else did he shout?
The most important thing is that Xu Qin feels that he is not too stupid - if it is just the three brothers Zhu Gaochi and the imperial grandson Zhu Zhanji and others shouting prices, then it can be considered that these people are supporting Yang Zhen, but after the rest of the vassal kings are involved, things start to develop in another direction.
Hu Guang also felt the same way.
In fact, at the very beginning, Hu Guang and Xu Qin had similar views, thinking that after the King of Han and the imperial grandson Zhu Zhanji took pictures of the courtyard, Xu Jingchang and Xu Qin should fight each other, and the British government is estimated to be involved, but when these top nobles end, the latter ones will not be fried.
However, what Hu Guangwan didn't expect was that not only the three Zhu Gaochi brothers and Zhu Zhanji had auctioned more than a dozen sets of courtyards in their generation, but even several other princes' mansions also had their own people, and these people directly auctioned off all the sixty sets of courtyards on Yingchun Street, and they were all sold at a price of 50,000 yuan.
In fact, when all the sixty sets of courtyards on Yingchun Street were auctioned, it was not only Xu Qin and Hu Guang who were confused, but even Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Dingguo, who was against Xu Qin, as well as the British Duke Zhang Fu, the Duke of Chengguo Zhu Yong and others were all very confused, not to mention the remaining Hou, Bo and the ministers of civil and military affairs.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I here for?
A good auction, how did it become a corner arena for these feudal kings to show off their financial resources, what are these people here for? Watching the hilarious?
His face was gloomy to the point of being incomprehensible, Hu Guang held the teacup in his hand tightly, even his knuckles were a little white, and finally he couldn't help but snort coldly: "The shaft is rude!" ”
Lin Yu on the stage looked at the bigwigs present and said loudly: "The first batch of courtyards on Yingchun Street has been filmed, and the next thing to start is the courtyard of the second batch of Snow Lotus Street." Before the auction begins, please open the catalogue in your hand, and please allow me to show you the schematic diagram below. ”
After waiting for the little guy to move the shelf with a huge floor plan to the stage, Lin Yu walked to the side of the drawing and said with a smile: "Everyone, please look here, this is the location of the imperial city, and this is the Yingchun Street community that has just been photographed, with a total of sixty sets of yards." This is the Snow Lotus Street community that we are going to start bidding for now, with a total of 120 yards.
Please look at the drawings, the location of the Xuelian Street community, just on the west side of Yingchun Street, between the two is Fengtian Road, extending from the new Imperial City Noon Gate to the south gate of the new capital, is the first of the main roads of the entire capital, two-way sixteen main lanes, plus two-way four-lane auxiliary roads and two-way two pedestrian passages.
Note that each of these roads, whether they are main roads, auxiliary roads, or even pedestrian roads, can be used by two horse-drawn carriages, which means that you will not have to worry about congestion in the future, whether you are going up or down from this main road, even if the population of the new capital exceeds two million. ”
Lin Yu's voice was not small, and the entire auction hall was specially designed, so the sound on the table would be amplified, so even the box on the third floor could be heard clearly.
Then Zhu Laosi had a gloomy face, stared at Yang Shaofeng and said, "How much did it cost to spend on this road alone?" ”
