Chapter 167: Moving the Capital

It is true that the economy depends on trade to grow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But after all, trade is a business, and you have to be reasonable to do business, although the money is long-lasting, but it is not happy at all.

But robbery is different, it is done without capital, the money is fast, and it can make others unhappy, how happy.

Therefore, I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, and if I want to live from now on, the bandit words that leave my underwear can become a famous saying.

There is money to be collected, and those officials who are originally very high don't want to care if there is still blood on the silver, anyway, they didn't kill people, and their own lives are still miserable haha, where can they care about how much of a will be for those who are robbed.

If the silver obtained from the previous crackdown on illegal forces in the country made the people in the household department really relaxed for a while, and they didn't need to buckle and swish for a while, this time it was enough for them to squander it by directly touching the gold and silver mountains brought back by other people's nests.

The river yamen said: The Yellow River is overflowing, and it needs 3 million taels of silver to repair it, but it can be guaranteed that it will not flood again within two years.

The household department immediately waved his pen: Ouch, why are you so petty in the river yamen, this is five million taels of silver, and you can use it to control the river. Inadequate? Another batch of 5 million taels, as long as it can ensure that the Yellow River will not flood for ten years!

The Shanghai Maritime Affairs Yamen requested the construction of 20 medium-sized treasure ships for commercial use, which required 2 million taels of silver.

The household department is not ambiguous at all, the sea affairs yamen is now their God of Wealth, how can the God of Wealth not give face, allocate 10 million taels, and build a hundred!

Later, the Jiangnan weaving yamen wanted to have a million taels of silver, and then opened a few workshops, and the hometown of porcelain wanted to vigorously develop the porcelain manufacturing industry, as long as he opened his mouth, he would give a batch of silver.

Since the treasury was full of gold and silver treasures, even if it was a small principal, the voice of the household department was loud for three points, and the real money was spent like a sea of water, and the running water was fucking gone.

The whole country was jubilant, and the only one who felt a little unhappy was Zhu Houzhao. Although Zhu Shou, the chief military officer of the mighty general who made great contributions again, was once again promoted to the rank of knight and became an earl, Zhu Houzhao was still a little unhappy.

The sea was bumpy for more than a year, just got off the boat and occupied an area of the horseback and car, from Zhejiang to Jinling, to Jinling, to Jinling has not been pulled and rested, immediately from Hangzhou on the ship.

The whole process was half a year later, and it was only after autumn that I found my wife and children to warm the kang head.

The backache and leg cramps along the way, the body was hollowed out, and the power of the flood that had been accumulated for more than a year had no intention of releasing it.

After sleeping all night, Zhu Houzhao finally figured out the key. In the end, it is just four words - inaccessibility. Even if there are post roads and waterways, in the face of such a large land area, it is still powerless to travel back and forth.

After the two wars, the Tatars lost their troops, although the little prince still did not die, but it can no longer become a climate, as long as the time is ripe, Zhu Houzhao can wave his troops north at any time, and regain the hands of the vast steppe in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

With the strategic center of the Ming Dynasty gradually tilting to the south, the idea of Emperor Taizong guarding the country with the Son of Heaven is obviously no longer satisfied with the status quo.

All in all, the economic and political center of the Ming Dynasty is no longer suitable for the remote and inhospitable place in Beijing.

The country of the Ming Dynasty is no longer on the vast land in the north, but on the more vast ocean in the south.

Move the capital! Zhu Houzhao made the difficult choice to move the capital of the Ming Dynasty to Jinling again after two hundred years, so that the capital with rich waterways would once again become the political center.

Such a choice is undoubtedly difficult. Thinking about how much effort Zhu Di made to move the capital from Jinling to Beijing, Zhu Houzhao didn't know.

But he knew how much such a decision would be hindered, and how the scholars who worked in the court would be hindered.

Daming is a strange thing in the history of China for thousands of years, there were two capitals in the Han and Tang dynasties, Luoyang in the east, and Chang'an in the west.

But when the old Zhu family opened a company, the entire land of China suddenly popped up three capitals, the capital of Beijing, which was full of real power.

As an old capital, Jinling has become a second-tier city after Emperor Taizong moved the capital, and many Liu officials who were defeated in the political whirlpool and had no power to return to heaven often stayed in Jinling City to retire.

Another is Zhu Yuanzhang's Longxing Land, located in the hinterland of Anhui Province, Fengyang, which is still a poor mess in the 21st century. Fengyang is also the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and then there are no six departments, no ministers, just all kinds of eunuchs, mausoleum guards, sweepers, tree planters, and those who carry empty bird cages for walking......

To tell the truth, Fengyang is really a place of dragon prosperity, the Ming Taizu was born and raised here to achieve the grand hegemony, but in the end of the Ming Dynasty, Fengyang did not get any benefits, only a tongue twister circulated: say Fengyang, Dao Fengyang, Fengyang is a good place. Since Emperor Zhu came out, there have been nine years of famine in ten years......

In the 20th century, Fengyang Xiaogang Village was also advanced in the country, but after so many years, the whole country is progressing, and only Fengyang is still standing still, and it is still contracting under the responsibility system......

To put it mildly, the old Zhu family is sorry for Fengyang, and there are still people behind who are sorry for Fengyang, after so many years, the consciousness has not grown at all.

After going to the court, Zhu Houzhao announced the idea of moving the capital with sleepy eyes, and then sat there and waited for others to oppose it.

The result was indeed beyond Zhu Houzhao's expectations, he was almost asleep sitting on the dragon chair and did not hear any objections.

It's unreasonable, but if something like this happens that they think might shake the foundation of the Daimyo, they will single out a bunch of people to oppose it.

Zhu Houzhao finally opened his eyes, glanced down, and then quickly understood why he didn't encounter any opposition. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were like quails standing under His Highness, and none of them raised their heads.

And those familiar figures did not appear on the court meeting at all, and the people standing in the court were groups of ghosts and ghosts, no wonder there was no opposition.

Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Zhu Houzhao, these familiar people, didn't see any of them.

"What about Liu Ge Lao, Xie Ge Lao, and Li Ge Lao?" Zhu Houzhao beckoned to Liu Jin, who was standing on the side, and asked.

Liu Jin looked calm and said, "All the elders have gone home to retire. ”

Zhu Houzhao frowned on the spot: "Why didn't I see their resignation?" ”

Liu Jin leaned into Zhu Houzhao's ear and said: "Your Majesty, it was the holy decree you gave to the old ministers that asked Lao Chen to find a way to let all the elders of the Great Pavilion go home to farm, but the emperor doesn't remember?" (To be continued.) )
