The capital of the Ming Dynasty is indeed worthy of the best in the world, because at this time the global population is less than one-tenth of the later generations, and most countries are agricultural countries, and most of the civilians are mainly scattered farming, which can gather hundreds of thousands of people, which is a great city; If the population is in the millions, it is already one of the few super cities in the world; Like Daming Beijing, there are three million permanent residents, and there is absolutely only this one, and there is no second one.

The problem now is that the scale of three million is not big enough, and it needs to be expanded further, otherwise it will be overcrowded!

Why did so many people pour into the capital of Daming?

First of all, it is because it is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it is a place where humanities gather, but if there is a little relationship, or a little ability, who doesn't want to come to the capital to mix, not to mention anything else, it is difficult for you to make friends with a seven-grade sesame official in the locality, and when you arrive in the capital, you can grab a handful of seven-pin, six-pin, and five-pin, which is very common.

Then, the security of the capital must be the best in the Ming Dynasty and even the world, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are a few people who dare to be scared, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the Praetorian Guards are not vegetarians, and all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods basically won't go to the capital if they have nothing to do, what are they going to do? Go to death!

Finally, and most importantly, the capital has convenient transportation, developed commerce, and a large consumer population, so it is simply too easy to do business here and make a fortune.

You know, the capital not only has a railway through the north and south, but also the nearby Dongdaying New Port, and the Ming Royal Rixing Bank to provide funds, and the Ming Royal Machinery Group to provide production equipment, and the Ming Royal Xinglong firm and the Ming Royal Western trade to purchase various commodities, it can be said that even if you are a poor barehead, run to the capital of the Ming Dynasty with a bare ass, as long as you have a brain, you will soon be able to make a fortune!

This has caused traders from all over the country in the Ming Dynasty, vassal countries and even countries around the world to desperately rush to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it is no wonder that the population does not grow rapidly.

Now the expansion is definitely going to be expanded, but how big the expansion will be depends on the needs of all aspects.

After Zhu Cijiong expressed his feelings, he immediately asked: "It is imperative to expand the capital now, but how big this scale is to expand, it depends on the needs of all aspects, Ruizheng, you first talk about it, to evacuate the increasingly crowded flow of people, how big does the capital need to expand?" “

He Ruizheng naturally had a draft, and as soon as the emperor asked, he immediately said without thinking: "Back to the emperor, Weichen feels that it is most appropriate to solve the increasingly crowded situation in the capital and maintain a good momentum of development. “

Zhu Cijiong nodded and appreciated: "Well, yes, there is no great joy, what about the others, do you still have any needs?" “

As soon as his words fell, Huang Daozhou immediately rushed to say: "Your Majesty, Weichen has, this country is also overcrowded, the Ming Dynasty has subdued so many subject countries at once, and doubled the number of provinces, and more and more students from all over the country are asking to come to the country to study, and they can't live at all!" “

In Zhu Cijiong's impression, the grade of the prisoners of Guozijian is already quite high, although the prisoners have no fame, but the outstanding ones can directly participate in the examination, which is equivalent to lifting people, after the expansion of Guozijian, it is not a problem to recruit thousands of prisoners at a time, where did Daming come from so many people!

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are the main sources of this prisoner?" “

Huang Daozhou said without hesitation: "The source of this prison student, according to the regulations at the beginning of the dynasty, is mainly non-Han students from various provinces and scholars from other countries who love Sinology, and by the way, they can also recruit some children of official eunuchs. After Weichen took charge of the Guozijian, he had to take one of them, recruiting both, which was originally nothing, because the non-Han students in the provinces and the scholars of other countries who love Sinology are not right, but in recent years, it has been terrible, and the students required by the vassal states to study in the Guozijian have already exceeded the limit that the Guozijian can accommodate, plus these new provinces, this, this ....... “

What's this?,The new provinces let them learn by themselves.,If you want to take care of their learning, you have to do it!

Zhu Cijiong couldn't help urging: "What are you doing with all your mouth?" You don't want to recruit them all to study! “

When Huang Daozhou heard this, he stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen wants to recruit all of them to study in Guozijian, they, they are not students of my Han nationality, according to the ancestral system, they are qualified to study in Guozijian!" “

Fainted, how to forget this stubble, indeed, the new more than ten provinces, there are almost no Han people, all of them are of other nationalities, this is a bit troublesome, let them all come over to study, it is impossible, the capital can not be doubled, Zhu Cijiong had to say helplessly: "Then choose the best ones to admit, it is impossible to recruit them all, at least how much you have to recruit, you give a specific number." “

This Zodiac Zhou had already thought about it, and he said without thinking: "It stands to reason that the number of students in each subject and province is about 100, and there are 18 new provinces and four vassal states, that is, 2,200, plus there are more and more scholars in other countries who love Sinology, so for the time being, 600 places will be set for them, so the Guozijian will be expanded at least three times!" “

This is a must, the imperial examination must be carried out in the directly subordinate territories and vassal states, so that they can subtly accept the fact that they are part of the Ming Empire, Zhu Cijiong gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "Yes, I will build you a new national eunuch five times larger!" “

After speaking, Zhu Cijiong looked up at everyone, but he didn't expect that the second person to speak was Xu Guangqi, he then said: "Your Majesty, this state guesthouse is also overcrowded, in recent years, there has been an endless stream of envoys from various vassal countries, and the children of high-ranking officials in their country are all eager to come to the capital of Daming to live and study, the state guesthouse has long been unable to live, plus the emperor also issued an order to vacate a large mansion for the royal family of the Mughal Empire, and now, the Ming Dynasty is a little afraid to receive the state guests of the vassal state, there is really no place to live!" “

There is also this kind of thing, the state guesthouse is built according to the scale of tens of thousands of people, which is not enough, it's funny!

Zhu Cijiong asked puzzledly: "Teacher, how many VIPs have asked to come to the State Guesthouse for temporary stay?" “

Xu Guangqi said with a sad face: "There are more than 30,000 this year alone, and they can't finish the row until next year!" “

Damn, these vassal states want to stuff all the families of high-ranking officials into Daming, right, but this is a good thing, that is, to make them yearn for the life of Daming, so that they will not have different hearts, Zhu Cijiong gritted his teeth again, nodded and said: "Okay, I will build another five-fold state guesthouse, come, let them all come, it doesn't matter how long they stay!" “

In this way, coupled with the royal palace promised to be built for the Mughal Empire, it is almost the size of half of the Dongcheng District, and it will definitely not be able to be stuffed into the newly built commercial district, so it is necessary to build a new urban area.

Anyway, two more new urban districts are going to be built, and Zhu Cijiong doesn't care about one more, he looks up at everyone again, and his eyes seem to say: "Come, is there anything else, whatever you want to build, I will build it for you!" ”
