Being reminded by Zhu Laosi like this, Xia Yuanji suddenly came to his senses and said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, being interrupted by the champion prince like this, the minister almost forgot about the business. ”

Xia Yuanji's so-called business is naturally to let Yang Shaofeng build the new Shuntianfu Imperial City.

First of all, Yang Shaofeng took the coolies of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households to plan the border city very well, and only a small part of the current completion is enough to accommodate millions of people after the completion of the border city.

It is not uncommon for a large city of millions of people to hang alone outside the Great Wall, nearly half of the people in it are from Tatar and Warat, and every street in the city has pre-built public toilets and garbage dumps that will be cleaned up by special people.

What's more, Yang Shaofeng's ability to make something out of nothing really made Xia Yuanji envious.

Who dares to say that he can build such a giant city with 100,000 taels, and he can earn more money for building bridges and paving roads?

Not to mention that Yang Shaofeng has made clear arrangements for both Tartary and Warat in the past year or so.

So not only did Xia Yuanji want Yang Shaofeng to repair the imperial city of Shuntianfu, but even Zhu Laosi was also moved-the household department allocated 200,000 taels out, and then requisitioned some people, what would the newly built capital look like?

Connecting the candidates to preside over the border city for Yang Shaofeng, Zhu Laosi has already considered it.

Liu Hang, the Liaozhou Zhizhou, who performed extremely well at the time of the Liaozhou flood, had already been transferred to the capital due to merit, and the label of the Yang family on his body was obvious, and transferring this person to the border city could completely ensure that the various rules set by Yang Shaofeng would not be changed.

However, Yang Shaofeng did not plan to take this stubble.

I haven't seen a penny for more than a year, and now I still want to let myself be in charge of building a stall as big as the capital? Is there any reason for this?

Besides, the border city here is completely from scratch, a piece of paper, you can toss as much as you want, and Shuntianfu can be the same? Even if you don't take into account how disgusting the nobles and officials in the Shuncheon Mansion are, you have to take into account the people who originally lived in the Shuncheon Mansion, right? These people don't need to be resettled?

Seeing that Yang Shaofeng didn't pick up, Xia Yuanji couldn't help but speak: "Why didn't Zhuangyuan Gong speak?" But what's the problem? ”

Yang Shaofeng hummed and said, "I don't know what the planning of the new capital city is?" Is it an expansion on the basis of the original? Or are you planning to build a giant city like never before? ”

Xia Yuanji said: "What if you build a giant city? ”

Yang Shaofeng nodded seriously and said: "Yes, but I need the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, the General Supervisor, the Shuntian Mansion, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the Beijing Camp, the Jinyi Guard, the Seven Yamen, 200,000 people, about five years." ”

Xia Yuanji was dumbfounded.

It's okay to say that he is the leader of the household department, and it is easy to transfer a few coolies to Yang Shaofeng, even if it is the Ministry of Industry, it can be discussed.

But what the hell is going to be a prisoner? There is also Shuntian Mansion, looking at the yamen that is one level lower than the household department, but it is a real unit at the same level as the household department, what ability do you have to let the Shuntian Mansion Yin listen to Yang Shaofeng's command?

Even if you take a step back, these departments are easy to solve, so the two of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Beijing Camp are really military systems, except for the Governor's Office and the Military Department of the Five Armies, people are not good at all......

Especially Jinyiwei, this performance is the same as other health offices, but it is the first violent organization in the Ming Dynasty, and the black work is grasped, and the big boss of Jinyiwei, Ji Gang, has a reputation for being able to stop children crying at night.

Now Yang Shaofeng actually proposed that so many departments need to be dispatched by him-I'm afraid you're not embarrassed by someone in Xia?

Zhu Laosi said in a deep voice: "Yes." I asked them to send people to your disposal, and Beigong Jun also came under your command to be dispatched, including 200,000 people, who were also dispatched by you. ”

Zhu Laosi's voice fell, and this time it was Yang Shaofeng's turn and Xia Yuanji to be stunned together.

Xia Yuanji couldn't figure out how much the emperor favored Yang Madness, and even Jingying and Jinyiwei were willing to allocate manpower.

And Yang Shaofeng is really confused - is this considered a big thunder?

Just when Yang Shaofeng was secretly pondering, Zhu Laosi continued: "If you don't cause big trouble to the people, or let the people build a city willingly, I will depend on you." Otherwise, I will take your dog's head to appease the people. Do you dare to say that now? ”

Yang Shaofeng was about to admit it, but suddenly saw that Zhu Laosi's eyes were full of ridicule, and he suddenly stiffened his neck and said, "Dare!" But the grandson also wants the king's order banner monk Fang sword, if someone doesn't listen to the dispatch, the grandson must cut it first and then play! ”

Zhu Laosi laughed and said, "Accurate! Three products and below, you are allowed the right to cut first and then play! ”

Xia Yuanji looked at Yang Shaofeng, who looked confused, and then at Zhu Laosi, who was smiling with his beard, and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty think twice!" ”

Zhu Laosi smiled and said, "What are you thinking about?" Since he has the courage to do the next, I dare to grant him these conditions.

An unprecedented giant city must first surpass the big cities of Chang'an, Luoyang, Nanjing, and Border City, otherwise what is unprecedented? ”

Xia Yuanji frowned and said, "Then the treasury will allocate another five million ingots?" ”

Zhu Laosi said: "Give him 10 million!" Since you let him do it, then give enough support and let him do it. 10 million yuan of treasure banknotes, enough for him to use in advance. ”

After eating in the lifting division, Zhu Laosi called Yang Shaofeng to him alone, and said in a deep voice: "Let it go, 10 million yuan of treasure banknotes, not 10 million taels of cash, so don't have too much burden, don't be afraid of failure, I am not afraid of your failure." ”

When Zhu Laosi said this, Yang Shaofeng, who was already confused, was even more confused at this moment, and couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Is that 10 million yuan, or the capital?" ”

Seeing Yang Shaofeng's bewildered look, Zhu Laosi laughed and said: "It's only 10 million yuan, Daming can afford to lose, I can also afford to lose, you just let it go, what I care more about is that you can learn more things and master more things through the construction of the capital, understand?" ”

I understand a hammer? What do you let me master? I have things like Jinyiwei and Jingying, don't worry?

With a stomach full of questions, Yang Shaofeng bowed down and said, "Yes, Sun Chen understands." ”

Zhu Laosi shook his head with a smile, and scolded with a smile: "You understand a fart!"

Do you think I don't know what you wrote in your essay? You think I don't want to change that? ”

After getting up and pacing a few steps around the room, Zhu Laosi suddenly turned around and said, "I know! I want to change too! But all these messes add up to make me not know where to start!

However, all this you tossed out in the border city made me see hope, and I also saw another way besides killing.

This is very good, I let you toss, just to see what you can toss, and what kind of changes you can bring to Daming.

As for only 10 million yuan, what is it, what is a city, and there are also household departments and industrial departments on the left and right, even if you mess up, there is a chance to start over, so I am not worried. ”

After saying this, Zhu Laosi looked at Yang Shaofeng, who was still a little worried, and couldn't help but laugh: "What are you doing?" Afraid that I will unload the mill and kill the donkey? Don't worry, your donkey is still very useful, and there are not a few taels of meat on your body, so I am reluctant to slaughter you. ”

Hearing Zhu Laosi say this, Yang Shaofeng also put his mind at ease.

Indeed, 10 million guan is definitely not a small amount, it is easy for the Ming treasury to take out 10 million guan of treasure banknotes, but if you want to take out 10 million taels of cash, even if you knock Xia Yuanji to the bone and suck the marrow, it is estimated that you can't make it up.

But 10 million guan is not much - at least, the tax revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty in the thirteenth year of Yongle and the fourteenth year of Yongle has far exceeded the value of 10 million guan, and Zhu Laosi can indeed afford to lose.

The only thing that is not quite certain now is what kind of goal Zhu Laosi wants to achieve by building the capital.

Hukou system? Business Tax? Corvee? Or something else?

Yang Shaofeng asked himself if he was not too stupid, but Yang Shaofeng also knew very well that when it came to scheming and far-reaching planning, even if ten of them were tied up, they might not be able to compare to Zhu Laosi's ruthlessness.

……

The border city is always like this, maybe it will snow when it will fall, and he will not care about Zhu Laosi, the emperor, who is also in the border city.

Snowflakes fell all over the sky, and pedestrians on the street whispered curses about the damn weather, or flips out oil-paper umbrellas to cover their heads, or simply lets the snowflakes fall on them.

Yang Shaofeng walked in front indifferently, the fox fur on his body was not touched, and Xia Yuanji behind him scolded in a whisper from time to time, but he was reluctant to spend money to buy such a fox fur, so he could only shake his arm from time to time and shake the snow off his body.

Since he had lunch at the Lifting Division and talked to Yang Shaofeng alone, Zhu Laosi no longer thought about the new capital, but planned to take a good look around this city.

For Zhu Laosi, everything in the border city was new, including the Tatars and Warats who lived in the city, as well as the small merchants and hawkers who came from all over the Ming Dynasty.

If the capital and Shuntianfu are more calm, then the border city is lively.

Whether it is the pedestrians here or the small merchants on the roadside, their faces are more full of hope and hope, rather than the people of the capital and Shuntianfu, whose faces are more numb.

This extremely stark contrast made Zhu Laosi more and more sure of his choice - the border city can be made like this by Yang Shaofeng, and there is no reason why the capital city is not good.
