Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about a mess in his head, and the ministers on the side were staring at each other with wide eyes, constantly discussing in low voices, but no one interrupted Emperor Chongzhen's fugue.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to wake up suddenly, and said: "Over there of the Mughals, look at what the Zhongji Hall has to say, as well as the cabinet and the military government, and also discuss it with the Zhongji Palace." Let's see if it's better to drag them first or send troops directly. ”

After Zhang Zhiji bowed down with Lu Xiangsheng and others, he planned to run away in advance - recently, when Emperor Chongzhen looked at himself, his nose was not a nose or a face, in short, it was all kinds of unpleasant to the eye, and he was still less good in front of his old man.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't let go of Zhang Zhiji's intentions, and snorted coldly at the moment: "By the way, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies turned around and came up with an opinion on the Mughals."

In addition, the transfer of the border army and the mutual transfer of the inland guard posts, the governor's office of the five armies also had to come up with a fold. ”

Zhang Zhiji was helpless, so he had to respond with a bitter face.

Now it's better not to appear in front of Emperor Chongzhen, once he appears in front of Emperor Chongzhen, basically in addition to being trained or trained, it will not be good anyway.

As for the reason, Zhang Zhiji also understood in his heart that Zhang Shize, who was in his own family, provoked Emperor Chongzhen's heart, Zhu Jingxue, the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, and it became a matter of course for him to be cleaned up.

After Zhang Zhiji and the others took their leave, Emperor Chongzhen set his eyes on Lu Xiangsheng again: "What does Lu Aiqing think about Nanjing's request for the opening of newspapers?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng pondered: "The newspaper is the mouthpiece of the state, and even if it is open, it should be in the hands of the imperial court, not the people.

As for the book in Nanjing, it is nothing more than someone working behind the scenes, wanting to secretly compete for some right to speak, but it may not be a big deal. ”

Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "Go on." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Judging from the current situation, the printing bureaus and those booksellers in various places actually have the ability to print newspapers, and the reason why they have not taken action for a long time is simply because there is no clear law at the top of the imperial court.

In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to try it out in Nanjing first, and set up a separate journal in Nanjing to distribute it, but the articles published on it must be reviewed before they can be published, and once problems are discovered, they will either be banned from being published, or the heavier ones will be punished. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.

The Beijing Daily has been made out, and unlike the weekly newspapers that cover all the land of the Ming Dynasty, the Beijing Daily only covers the capital and some surrounding areas.

If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't have the ability to transport the daily newspaper to the frontier, Chen Mo planned to change the Daming Weekly to a daily issue.

Now that Nanjing wants to publish a newspaper, let them get it and see what tricks they can come up with—Emperor Chongzhen, who holds a knife and silver in his hand, never panics.

But to the surprise of Emperor Chongzhen, the newspaper in Nanjing was really new - who would dare to believe that it was advertised in the newspaper hundreds of years in advance?

And as if it had been discussed a long time ago, the first version is the news of the imperial decree, the second version is the news of where the Ming Dynasty won the war again, and the rest is a fucking advertorial!

When I turned to the last version and saw that it was a comment on the various painting boats in the Qinhuai River, Emperor Chongzhen's face was already as black as the bottom of the pot.

I am the traverser, and the advertising effect of the newspaper is actually first brought out by a group of natives - I simply lost the face of thousands of traversers!

Originally, I thought that the newspaper in Nanjing wanted to grasp part of the right to speak to disgust the court, but what I never expected was that Nanjing Weekly was indeed those businesses who spoke out, but they were just advertising.

What's even more hateful is that there are still some Liu Beiwen who rubbed the edges in it, saying that it was like "Golden Vase Plum", and it didn't meet that standard, saying that it was normal, and rubbing the edges again.

Not only Emperor Chongzhen's face was black, but even Lu Xiangsheng's face was also black.

originally thought that relying on themselves and the cabinet of the bigwigs, it was impossible to be turned upside down by Nanjing, who would have thought that these people would play such a good show in a blink of an eye!

Lu Xiangsheng pondered whether the Nanjing Weekly should be banned?

The role of this "Nanjing Weekly" is really disgusting, in the three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, for the first time, there has been a large number of people in the capital moving south!

Think about it with your heels, you can know what these goods are doing - look at what is written in "Nanjing Weekly", the so-and-so little lady on the so-and-so painting boat, that figure, that appearance, provoked Lu Xiangsheng himself to go to Nanjing to see and see, not to mention those businessmen and scholars who have some spare money......

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, threw the report in his hand on the table and ignored it.

It's not a big deal that the traverser was beaten by the natives, did he start killing because of this?

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng's face was still a little unpleasant, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Why should Lu Aiqing be angry about such a trivial matter? Even if they advertise the newspaper, they have to use it to promote something that shouldn't be promoted, right? ”

Lu Xiangsheng said a little depressedly: "Your Majesty, if they originally published something that shouldn't be posted, it would be fine, but now they use it for advertising, and the impact is even worse." ”

Lu Xiangsheng took out a monthly report on the work of Shuntianfu in March of the twentieth year of Chongzhen from his arms, and after turning a few pages, he motioned for Wang Chengen to take it: "Your Majesty, look here."

Since the Nanjing Weekly was published in February of the twentieth year of Chongzhen's reign and brought into the capital, many wealthy businessmen in the capital began to flee, and the final flow was Nanjing. In other words, the commercial tax of the entire capital in Chongzhen will decline sharply in the twenty years of Chongzhen.

Although this tax has to be released into the national treasury in Nanjing as well as in Beijing, in fact, the tax from Nanjing to the national treasury will inevitably produce a certain amount of loss on the way, even if it is less.

If other places are the same as Beijing, the most direct consequence is that a large number of wealthy businessmen will pour into Nanjing, and Nanjing City may not be able to withstand the influx of such a large number of people, which will cause great hidden dangers.

For example, hygiene, such as public security, once there is a problem in these two aspects, it may cause plague or other problems. It is very likely that this advertisement made by Nanjing Weekly will cause big trouble in a short period of time.

In addition, the biggest problem is that the sudden influx of population will cause all the prices in Nanjing to rise, whether it is the price of inns, grain, melons, fruits, meat and vegetables, the price of these things will inevitably rise, and even the price of those prostitutes in Qinhuai River may also rise."

After thinking about it, Lu Xiangsheng simply gritted his teeth and said: "Once the price of Nanjing rises, it may drive the price of the surrounding areas to rise, so as to radiate towards the entire Daming, and other areas may also follow the price increase." ”

The price rise of the Ming version? Price gouging? What the fuck is this!

After a sigh, Emperor Chongzhen said, "What about the opinion of the cabinet?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "The opinion of the cabinet is that the price of grain can be raised, but the increase should not be too high. Now the price of grain in the Ming Dynasty is at an extremely low stage, if it is lower, I am afraid that the people will either give up growing grain, or will not sell the grain after planting.

And once the grain price rises too high, it may eventually lead to the people who grow the grain but cannot afford to eat it, which is even more terrifying. It is better to control the increase in food prices from the beginning. ”

Without waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to ask, Lu Xiangsheng said directly: "The means of controlling grain prices is actually nothing more than the introduction of a large amount of grain from the outside, such as transporting a large amount of grain back from Jiaozhi, Burma, Nanzhang and other political envoys, and when the grain price rises too high, he will directly release the grain and suppress the grain price."

In addition, although the South China Sea Fleet no longer hunts whales, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Denglai can catch a large amount of fish, and with the large influx of beef and mutton on the grasslands, it is not difficult to suppress grain prices. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "It's good to have a plan." And what about the influx of people from Nanjing? ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head, and said a little angrily: "Your Majesty, in fact, it's not only Nanjing, but also the capital now!"

Most of the merchants on the Nanjing side of the city, and most of the others are also going to various businesses and the Qinhuai River, and a large number of scholars and wealthy businessmen have poured in from the capital, which has made Shuntianfu very annoying.

From the fifteenth year of Chongzhen to the twentieth year of Chongzhen, in just a few years, dozens of cases of bullying by the sons and daughters of the nobles have been handled, and there are more than 300 cases of bullying barbarian merchants by the people of the Ming Dynasty, with an average of several cases per month.

If these cases don't say anything, then the following data will presumably be of more interest to Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Chongzhen sneered in his heart: "It's okay, Lu Aiqing just said it." ”

Xungui's sons, these bastards don't do some bullying things, and they deserve to be called Xungui's children? The family was all killed on the battlefield, even if it was abandoned in the first hundred and ten years, but now that he has picked up the ability to make a fortune, he expects these killers who are used to cutting people to be reasonable?

Don't be stupid, unless you talk to them about military law, they won't care about Shuntianfu's headache!

As for the bullying of the barbarians by the people of the Ming Dynasty, what does it matter to themselves? Who left them without the household register of the Ming Dynasty? If they have the household registration book of the Ming Dynasty, they are serious Ming people, do they dare to blatantly bias Shuntianfu?

Lu Xiangsheng continued: "From the fifteenth year of Chongzhen to the twentieth year of Chongzhen, there were four major epidemics in the capital, an average of one per year. Fortunately, it was pressed down by the Tai Hospital and the Royal Academy, and it didn't cause any major problems.

In the past few years, the capital has been flooded three times, and the houses collapsed after the heavy rain are countless.

As for the number of thefts, robberies, and flower picking cases, it has risen sharply, almost several times more than Chongzhen thirteen years ago.

And the number of soldiers in Shuntian Mansion, as well as the number of soldiers and horses in the five cities, is increasing every year, but it can't handle so many cases, and as of last month, Shuntian Mansion still has a large backlog of files that have not been processed. ”

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly had a pain.

They all say that the poor ** plan to be rich and have a long conscience, but the quality of the people of the Ming Dynasty is also worrying - the Son of Heaven can do so many things, what about other places?

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen asked about other places, Lu Xiangsheng bowed down and said: "There are not so many problems in other places, and generally speaking, the situation is better than that of Chongzhen three years ago, and the number of various cases has decreased.

However, these problems in the capital were caused by the massive influx of people, and it is obvious that Nanjing will also face many problems. ”

After nodding, Emperor Chongzhen said, "What about Lu Aiqing's opinion?" Do the cities of Beijing and Nanjing need to be expanded? ”

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has discussed with Wu Butang that it is to double the current scale of the capital and Nanjing City, and it can only be alleviated for a while, and after decades, I am afraid that today's things will be repeated."

The key to solving this problem once and for all lies in how to divert the population of both Beijing and Nanjing to other surrounding areas. ”

Hehe-Emperor Chongzhen only had the feeling of egg pain in his heart.

How many years have the future generations been shouting about the diversion? After all kinds of means are exhausted, how much is diverted? And how many poured in? Can the problem be fundamentally solved?

Theoretically speaking, it is simple for Daming to solve this problem, but if it doesn't work, he will directly limit the population entering Beijing, and not open the way to lead back into the capital of a fart?

But in reality, this kind of play is simply.

Even if it restricts the people, how much can it be restricted? A large number of scholars and wealthy businessmen have also been restricted, and the capital is still playing a fart? Is it simply that the palace and the various institutions of the imperial court are left here? That's not realistic!

After countless times in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen asked: "The so-called population diversion, the main population of the capital is the court officials, university students, nobles, and big merchants, in addition, the number of ordinary people is not too much, how to divide the population?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, according to Weichen's humble opinion, it is better to move the university outside the capital and build it next to the Royal Academy.

Once the university moves out, nearly 20,000 bachelors and their relatives and subordinates, even for convenience, will go to the south of the city, and then the capital will directly lose about 100,000 people. ”

MMP！

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly cursed in his heart.

Lu Xiangsheng is simply running around under the guise of population migration, and the target of this bad old man is the Huangzhuang in the south of the city, as well as the guard force of the Royal Academy!

Once the university moves to the vicinity of the Royal Academy, even if the guards of the Royal Academy don't pay attention to the situation on this side of the university, who will eat the bear's heart and leopard guts and dare to go there to cause trouble?

PS: I'm a little annoyed by things at home today, and there is only one change for the time being.
