Chapter 542: Details and Bazaar Observations

"Oh, it was already the current name before entering the country?" Yun Xi fell into deep thought: "It's nothing that he has a good reputation in Guozijian, but it's very strange that he was named Mu Tianyan before he entered Guozijian. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoUnless, he knew he was going to enter the Guozijian before he entered the country. ’

"What is the family background of this Mu Tianyan? Do you have any relatives and friends in the court? Yun Xi suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, Mu Tianyan has an uncle, who was an official in the court, and Hongwu was convicted and demoted for 30 years, and then Zhishi went home." Chang Ruijiang said.

"I see." Yun Xi felt that he had understood the reason.

Then Yun Xi asked a few more questions and asked him to go down.

At this time, it was the beginning of the year, and it was late at night, so Yun Xi yawned and greeted the eunuchs who accompanied him.

Wang Xi walked in with two little eunuchs and instructed them to clean up the table and serve His Majesty to rest.

Yun Xi lay on the bed, and before falling asleep, he suddenly felt how important a caring secretary was, and suddenly understood why the emperors of all dynasties had reused eunuchs.

The importance of intimate secretaries is not much to say, and many officials in later generations will bring familiar secretaries when they are transferred; The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and a qualified and loyal secretary is very necessary. There are many taboos for ordinary officials to enter and leave the harem, and the most suitable for being a secretary is the eunuch in the palace. Even Yunxi actually let Wang Xi and others take on the duties of secretaries, and taught them to read and hyphenate.

In the final analysis, the emergence and growth of the celebrant is still an imbalance of civil and military forces, and the emperor needs a civil official who balances his power. I'm not going to be forced to do that. Yoon-hee crossed the thought and fell asleep.

……

The next day, Yun Xi learned more about the agricultural development of Suzhou City.

He dug up the archives of Suzhou Prefecture and Jinyiwei in previous years, and compared with this year's statistics, he found that there were more fields planted with cash crops in Suzhou. Although it is still far less than the number of people who grow grain, it is already 20% more than the 30 years of Hongwu, and it is only three years ago. Of course, the government collects taxes and does not collect cash crops, and they use the money from the sale of cash crops to buy grain and pay taxes.

Of course, the prefect Xiang Bao hated this situation, so most of the fire consumption was added to these farmers, so that they now have much income from the farmers who grow grain. However, not every prefect is a treasure, and they will always get more income than growing grain in the future, and it is inevitable that the grain output in the Jiangdong region will shrink and gradually become the main producer of cash crops.

If it were the Ming Dynasty in history, it is estimated that he would try his best to stop this process, but in the end it still could not be stopped, resulting in a shortage of food and a sharp rise in food prices. But Yun Xi won't.

Yun Xi has always been very strange about one thing, why have all dynasties been staring at the Central Plains and never thought of conquering the South Seas? Shang Zhixin, Geng Jingzhong, Zheng Kexuan and others, why didn't they flee to Nanyang with a small number of cronies before they were finished? With the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, it is not difficult to take two or three thousand troops to lay down a territory in the Nanyang region and live a small life, right? Do you have to be caught in Beiping and lose your head to be happy?

Regardless of whether others can understand it or not, Yunxi can't understand it anyway. It is precisely because of Nanyang that he is not worried about the reduction of grain production in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. As long as the Ming Dynasty has a strong navy, even if it is not crowned king in Nanyang, it can buy enough grain to fill the belly of the entire Ming people, and the price is lower than the domestic grain price.

Therefore, although he will not directly interfere with the cultivation of crops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with the further development of the economy, sooner or later cash crops will become the mainstream.

Yun Xi also read other information about Suzhou, such as the scale of the green building industry is now the second largest in the country after Beijing, but with the opening of Shanghai to the sea, there is a tendency to be surpassed by Shanghai; In addition, people from the southeast region will basically pass through Suzhou when entering Beijing, so that although Suzhou's tourism industry is still insignificant, it can be regarded as a consistent and unique show in the country; Wait a minute.

In addition, Yun Xi also had to take time to comfort Baoqing and Xianqin, who were angry because they couldn't go to the market, and the day passed in a moment.

When eating in the evening, Yun Zhi kept talking about what she saw and heard in the Suzhou market, which made Baoqing and Xianqin extremely hot, Xianqin didn't dare, but Baoqing complained about Yunxi vigorously.

Yun Zhi said: "The market in Suzhou is really much more prosperous than the capital, and there are many goods that I have never seen in the capital, and I have bought a lot of things." ”

"I also met a girl my age who had a similar taste in jewelry, and the two of us had a great conversation. If it weren't for the fact that my identity couldn't be revealed, I would have been a sister to her. ”

"By the way, I also saw a few women who didn't look very poor and had maids by their side without veils on their faces, is the atmosphere in Suzhou Mansion so open? No, why are there so many people with veils on their faces? Besides, the temperament of those women seems to be different from ordinary women. ”

Yun Xi felt that eighty percent of these women were prostitutes, and they were not the kind of top famous prostitutes - the top famous prostitutes generally did not go out, and most of them were the top prostitutes of some medium-sized brothels or the inferior prostitutes of high-end green houses. After all, the capital is the capital, and the prostitutes in the market far away from the Qinhuai River will not go and dare not go, so Yun Zhi has never seen it. But there is no need to talk to Yun Zhi about such a thing.

Finally, Yun Zhi said, "I'm going to go to the market tomorrow." ”

"Yun Zhi, stay for a day, and go to the market the next day and the day after tomorrow." Yun Xi is afraid that she will go to the market every day to attract attention, although the consequences of kidnapping the princess in Daming are unaffordable for anyone, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, it is better to be cautious.

"Alright then, Brother Huang." Yun Zhi reluctantly agreed.

But Yun Zhi actually snickered in her heart. She was already very satisfied that she was able to go out to the market once, and just now she said, 'I'm going to go to the market tomorrow', is actually testing Yun Xi, if Yun Xi doesn't let her go out in the future, it's nothing, but Yun Xi still allows her to go out, she is very happy.

The next day, Yunxi was still researching the details of Suzhou. Until the evening of this day, Feng Xianzhang, the director of Suzhou Jinyiwei, came to Xingzai and said to Yunxi: "Your Majesty, the minister has already told the Li family about this matter, and the Li family is willing to talk about it, but there are still doubts in their hearts. ”

"What other doubts does the Li family have? Even if you don't report your name, they won't dare to underestimate you, right? Yun Xi said.

"Your Majesty, it has only been more than thirty years since the founding of the country, and the story of Shen has not long passed, and the Li family is still afraid." Feng Xianzhang said cautiously.

"This," Yun Xi couldn't completely dispel their doubts, and said for a while, "I can only slowly change their minds." I will never unload the mill and kill the donkey. ”
