In the bustling Dongcheng District of the capital, the most lively is the East Chang'an Street, this street is directly from the left gate of Chang'an in the imperial city through the newly built East Chang'an Gate, all the way to extend, the street is wide, the road surface is clean, the shops are numerous, the flow of people is bustling, endless.

To say that the largest façade on East Chang'an Street is the four general names, that is, the general number of the four major business names of the royal family, these four general names are located in the middle of East Chang'an Street in Dongcheng District, with huge scale, luxurious architecture, and rich variety of goods, which crown the entire Dongcheng District and even the whole world.

It is rumored that as long as you go around the four major accounts, you can buy anything you want, so the front of the four major numbers is full of traffic, and the door is like a market.

Anyway, isn't Daming Royal Nikko Bank in charge of money? Do they sell stuff too?

Selling, of course they sell, they not only sell complete sets of dragon coins, but also sell gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, the big deal, say it scared people to death, it is rumored that the Tang Dynasty famous Wu Daozi's true work "Heavenly King Sends His Son" was bought back by a wealthy merchant at a high price of three million taels of silver, and it really made him old and prosperous!

Of course, this is just a rumor, on this day, a huge team appeared near the four major numbers of East Chang'an Street, led by two handsome sons and brothers, one old and one young behind them, two masters with bright eyes followed closely, and there were dozens of strong men lined up in the crowd to open the way for them.

At a glance at their posture, it is a wealthy son's travel, this situation is rare in the capital, because the people who dare to be so flamboyant can hardly be found on the ground in the capital, and the flow of people on the street is also consciously separated to the left and right, no one dares to stand in front of them and have nothing to do, joking in the territory of the capital, those who dare to bring a few guards to swagger outside are all great people, these two directly brought dozens of them, the dignity of the identity, it is conceivable that who has nothing to touch this mold.

In other words, why are those who bring a few guards to swagger outside are all great bigwigs? Because of the strict management of the Jinyi Guard and the Praetorian Guard, the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, when the Jinyi Wei secret agents generally have no tasks, they are all sent to the streets everywhere to practice their disguise skills and maintain law and order, it is very likely that a farmer, a seller of ice bomb gourds, a porter or even a pregnant woman is the Jinyi Wei secret agent!

Stealing and robbing, pit and abduction, almost all of them were caught during their drills, and later dared to take a large group of guards to swagger through the city, and those who oppressed civilians became their targets, generally as long as they were a little arrogant, they would not be able to go far and be surrounded by the Praetorian Guards, and they were all carried away one by one, no matter how big the official was, no matter which child of the family, it was a board to be caught, and I will talk to you after the fight.

Over time, on the ground of the capital, even petty thieves have disappeared, and the public security is very good, and the ordinary dignitaries and nobles only dare to take a few guards in a low-key manner, silently walking in the crowd, and the stupid hats that swagger through the city with a large group of people are almost extinct.

Zhu Cijiong saw the frightened eyes of the civilians around him, and couldn't help but ask Wang Zhengnan in a low voice: "Come to Xian, do they all know my identity, why are they so afraid?" ”

You must know that your identity is not all lying on the mountain and shouting long live, Wang Zhengnan gathered his voice into a line, and carefully told Zhu Cijiong what happened to those dignitaries and nobles in Zhu Cijiong's ear, Zhu Cijiong heard this, couldn't help laughing, and gave a thumbs up and praised: "Come to Xian, do a good job, and General Qin, did you really catch the prince of Tang Wang and beat the board?" How I don't know! ”

Just kidding, it is a capital crime for the vassal king to enter Beijing without being summoned, although the prince of Tang has not inherited the throne, he does not dare to come to him to complain, besides, what kind of person is Qin Liangyu, the aunt of the current queen, the commander of the first legion of the Praetorian Guard, if he fights, he will fight, and there are a few people in the world who dare to disobey!

Zhu Cijiong looked at Wang Zhengnan with an unspeakable look, and said indifferently: "Actually, it's nothing, now that the sea ban and the civil ban are opened, let the royal family come to the capital to visit, if they just come to visit secretly, you should just not see it, anyway, there are few vassal kings now, and they can't set off any storms." “

Now not only do the descendants of the vassal family want to come to the capital to see the world, but the dignitaries and nobles of all the vassal countries of the Ming Dynasty do not want to come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to see the world, and even the European allies Portugal, Spain, and the Holy Roman Empire have many people who have come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why Zhu Cijiong took Zheng Chenggong to wander around the street was not because he was idle and had nothing to do, but to inspect the current flow of people in the capital, because the Shuntian Mansion handed over the fold said that the residents of the capital have exceeded three million, and the floating population is more than three million, so they suggested that the capital be expanded again!

The expansion of the capital is of course a good thing, Zhu Cijiong also wants to expand the capital, but the capital is not said to be expanded, but also to consider the development of the expansion, although Shuntianfu should not dare to use the history of the assassin to bully the king, but it is not excluded that they for the sake of political performance, for promotion, exaggerated, if the flow of people is not enough to expand, it will disperse the consumer group, resulting in duplicate construction, which is extremely unfavorable to the development of the capital.

Now it seems that Shuntianfu is not exaggerating, the capital is really overcrowded, and it seems that it is time to expand the capital again.

After Zhu Cijiong returned to the palace, after careful consideration, he issued an edict to summon relevant personnel to come and discuss the expansion of the capital.

The people who were summoned this time were not just a certain yamen or a certain person, because he wanted to hear the opinions of all sides.

The emperor summoned him, naturally no one dared to slack off, and soon, the personnel arrived, and it was still the old rule, Zhu Cijiong sat in the first place, and the others sat on both sides one by one.

At the head of the left is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, King Xin, Zhu Youzhen;

Next is Bi Maokang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry;

Sun Yuanhua, the secretary of the military department;

Cheng Guoxiang, the head of the household department;

At the head of the right is Xu Guangqi, the head of the Cabinet and the head of the Ministry of Rites;

Jinyiwei commanded Wang Zhengnan

Next is the Zhan Shi Mansion Zhan Shi Guozi Priest Wine Zodiac Zhou

Suncheon Province Yin He Rui Zheng

These people seem to have nothing else in common except for the same high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, what did the emperor call them for?

Only Zhu Youzhen and Xu Guangqi looked at He Ruizheng thoughtfully, because the twists and turns of Shuntian Mansion were first passed through Xu Guangqi's hands, and then presented to the emperor by Zhu Youzhen, they all knew what was written in the folds of Shuntian Mansion, and now the emperor has recruited Yin of Shuntian Mansion, probably to discuss the expansion of the capital.

Sure enough, after everyone sat down, Zhu Cijiong asked He Ruizheng to read the recital he presented himself in public, and then said aloud: "I personally went to the street today, it is indeed as said in the compromise, there are dense crowds everywhere, shoulder to shoulder, this is a good thing, the capital can develop to such a scale in just a few years, I am very happy, now, the capital of Daming is already the most well-deserved in the world, the prosperous capital, businessmen from all over the world are proud to be able to do business in the capital of Daming, The rich people of all countries are proud to be able to travel to the capital of Daming, and Daming should also be proud of it! “
