Chapter 51: A Million Folk Men Repair the Road (1)
"Emperor Shengming" Chongzhen proposed to streamline the officials and rectify the rule of officials, hundreds of officials shouted Shengming, and now the court after the last killing, most of them were frightened by Chongzhen, except for a few old stubborns who were originally locked up in the edict prison, there was no one who drove out to sing the opposite, and the entire court became Chongzhen's hall.

This form of the imperial court is not normal, but the Ming Dynasty in this period is in need of an iron-blooded emperor to turn the bow of the Ming giant ship that is sailing towards the abyss, and the court has become a hall of words, and when the emperor has made a difference, he will push his policy down, which is the only way that Chongzhen thought of to reverse the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. After temporarily eliminating the external threat, Chongzhen's gaze had turned to the interior of Da Ming.
"Since you have no objection to Aiqing, then this matter is called to be handed over to the Ministry of Officials to do" Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair and turned his gaze to Sun Chengzong's position, now Sun Chengzong as the official of the Ming Dynasty, can be described as a high authority, this old man, who has been an official in the Ming Dynasty for a lifetime, has suffered from the filth between various officials. He is full of worries about the future of the daimyo, and now that he is in power, this streamlining the officials and rectifying the rule of officials is the greatest wish of his life.
"Minister, take the order" Sun Chengzong stepped forward to take over Chongzhen's will.
"Last time I toured the north, I found that the official roads of the Ming Dynasty are very problematic now, and many places have become country roads stepped out by pedestrians, which cannot be called official roads at all, and this is still the reason why I take the official roads along the way, not to mention those non-official roads. Even I am so difficult to travel, the people can imagine that they travel to the south, I now want to follow the example of the Qin Emperor, build a gallop road throughout the country, and connect all the large cities in the country" Chongzhen from later generations understands very well what roads mean to a country, with roads, business travel will develop, exchanges between various places will be frequent, and in times of war, troops from all over the country can be gathered more quickly.
"I don't know when the emperor plans to start building, how long does it take to levy and send people," Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stepped forward to raise his own questions, as the first batch of old antiques in the early edict, he won the trust of Chongzhen, which is why he dared to come forward and ask his own questions.
"I plan to levy millions of people, within ten years, throughout the country, starting from the capital to build an official road, this official road to reach every city in the Ming Dynasty, the standard of the road, I plan to build in accordance with the Qin Emperor's standard of galloping roads, and the official road every fifty miles to build a post station, and at the same time send soldiers to patrol to clear the land bandits along the way" The importance of the official road, Chongzhen understands better than anyone that the empire wants to develop rapidly without the official road.
"The emperor thinks twice, this move is beneficial for the future, but it will be a disaster to the present generation, the Qin Emperor Yingzheng, Emperor Yang Guangyi built a gallop road, and the Grand Canal built by a large number of dynasties, all of which benefited future generations, but for this reason, the Qin and Sui dynasties were consumed for a hundred years, and the Qin Dynasty, which was strong and powerful, and the Sui Dynasty couldn't help but consume it so much, not to mention that the first thing to jump out of the Ming Dynasty was the Hubu Shangshu Shi Kefa, in the end, he was still young, and even the rivers and rivers came out, and he met Chongzhen now, The emperor who changed to a stingy point would have dragged it down and beheaded it a long time ago.
"The ministers seconded the proposal, the emperor thought twice" Hulala knelt down for a large time, Chongzhen looked at it, and saw that Sun Chengzong, Shi Kefa, Yang Sichang, Xu Guangqi and other hardcore supporters of their own did not agree with their ideas.
"What do you mean, do you think that I am not as good as Emperor Yang Guang" Although he knew that the purpose of this group of people was for his own good for the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen's heart was still very uncomfortable when he saw this scene.
"The ministers don't dare" said that they didn't dare, but the ministers still didn't get up, and they were all silently protesters.
"I want to forcibly build a gallop road, what should I do, do you want to force the palace to abolish me" For the aggressiveness of the ministers, Chongzhen is angry, and his plan has not been taken out, it has been completely denied, and no one will be happy when encountering such a situation.
"The emperor wants to establish immortal merit, and the ministers also want to follow the history of the Qing Dynasty, but now there are strong enemies outside the Ming Dynasty, and there are natural and man-made disasters inside, and the current Ming Dynasty is really not suitable for the construction of such a large project nationwide, the emperor is still young, and there is time as long as he works hard, Zhongxing Daming is in front of him, and after a few decades of sweeping away foreign enemies, the internal politics of Daming are clear, and the treasury is full at that time, and the emperor is slowly trying to establish the immortal merit is just around the corner, and there is no need to rush at this time, the emperor "Sun Chengzong raised his head, Bitterly persuaded Chongzhen.
Daming finally met an emperor who made a difference, seeing that Daming had a little hope, Sun Chengzong really couldn't bear to watch Chongzhen repeat the mistakes of his predecessors, but he thought carefully about what Chongzhen did, and found that Chongzhen became more and more like a tyrant like Emperor Yang of Qin, Qin Huang swept the six countries, unified text weights and measures, built the Great Wall, Emperor Yang unified the north and south, destroyed Tuguhun to fight the Khitan, created the imperial examination system, and built the Grand Canal. But in the end, it was all the end of the death of the country and the death of the country. Both of them are eloquent people, but such an invincible figure is too far ahead of their time, and the empire ruled by them can no longer keep up with the pace of the two, and they are finally dragged to death by these measures that are supposed to benefit the world.
Sun Chengzong looked at Chongzhen who was sitting on the dragon chair, after taking the throne, he killed Wei Zhongxian, punished corrupt officials, and now wants to build official roads across the country, the emperor's idea has become closer and closer to Emperor Yang of Qin, and what he has done is slowly getting closer to the two.
When encountering such an invincible emperor in this period, Sun Chengzong can't say whether it's good or bad, maybe the Ming Dynasty will prosper in his hands, or maybe he will be brought into the abyss.
(Interested book friends may wish to leave a message in the message area, guess how Chongzhen will levy millions of people without hurting the Ming Dynasty, causing public resentment to boil.) )
