Chapter 229: The Resistance of the Officials in the Capital to the State Capital
The Forbidden City of South 0 Beijing is the imperial palace of the early Ming Dynasty, its scale is larger than that of the Forbidden City of North 0 Beijing, before Zhu Youxiao wants to go south, it has been sent to the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, and allocated 3 million yuan to order it to repair the palace city, until now the palace city has taken on a new look, and the problem of water accumulation in the palace caused by the sinking of the foundation has also been solved, and the drainage system has been improved.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't plan to live here for a long time, and he didn't care if the palace, which was closer to the outer city, would be flooded again in this long rainy season, but when he saw the half acre of vegetable land outside the dormitory, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but wonder if Zhu Yuanzhang was really wearing a dragon robe and holding a hoe to plant his own one-acre and three-point land in this solemn mansion when he was in charge of Tianfu.
"Lingxin, do you know how to farm?" Zhu Youxiao stretched out his arms and asked while letting Lingxin put on his crown clothes.
"Back to Your Majesty, the slave family was sold to the Confucian Mansion when he was three years old, and he can't farm", Ling Xin said, Zhu Youxiao said: "Later, let the waiter find a hoe, and I will take the time to ask you to plant the newly promoted sweet potatoes, and when we return to Beijing, we will be able to eat roasted sweet potatoes and return to Beijing." ”
As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he saw that Wang Chengen had already come, nodded and then sat on the dragon chariot and came to the main hall in the sound of heavy ancient music.
The ministers of the ministries and institutes of Nan0 Beijing, as well as the officials of the temple and the officials of Yingtianfu have been listed in the palace at this time, and the officials who stayed in the capital are equivalent to giving them leisure and recuperating in their posts, and these officials who stayed in the capital are not very suitable for the early dynasty, not to mention that there have been no rules of the early dynasty for hundreds of years, so many ministers have not yet arrived, and even those who have arrived are yawning.
This made the Imperial History of the Imperial Guard, who was about to go as the name of the imperial history, very speechless, if this is in the capital, this year's Jingcha, I am afraid that eighty percent of the officials who stayed in the capital will be dismissed and demoted.
Wang Wenkui, the governor of Yingtian, came to the palace early, and when he greeted several colleagues, he heard the words "Your Majesty has arrived".
Wang Wenkui was busy with other officials, and Zhu Youxiao, who was already sitting on Jinluan at this time, shouted after shouting: "Ying Tian Governor Wang Wenkui." ”
Wang Wenkui walked out, and he didn't dare to look up to see Zhu Youxiao, but just glanced at it with slanted eyes, only feeling that the emperor in front of him was a little young.
Zhu Youxiao was also looking at Wang Wenkui, the governor of Yingtian, and saw that he was panting like silk, his body was thin, although he had some extraordinary bearing, he was also lacking in qi, and he was very weak, and he should be an over-vocal person. However, Zhu Youxiao didn't care about these, and it was a common phenomenon that scholars were obsessed with martial arts and were emotional, and most of them were weak.
"You are Wang Wenkui, the governor of Yingtian, and I would like to ask you, why is this Liudu a rich and noble land in Liangjing, and there are so many shanty and poor people, and there are even gangsters who dare to rob children in public, and even gather hundreds of people to fight?" Zhu Youxiao asked Wang Wenkui, the governor of Yingtian.
Wang Wenkui couldn't help but feel secretly surprised, thinking that Chen Mingxia was really right yesterday, after Dongchang appeared in the shantytown, he let His Majesty know the news so quickly, but listening to His Majesty's words, it seems that it is not only a shantytown problem, but also asking himself why he has made Nan 0 Capital so chaotic.
Wang Wenkui was secretly glad that if it weren't for Dong Qichang's reminder, he might not know how to deal with it at this time, he thought that he would be able to get through the trick by rectifying in a place where His Majesty could see it a few days ago, after all, even if His Majesty came to Nan0 Beijing, he would only stay in the palace city, but he ignored Dongchang.
Fortunately, under Dong Qichang's reminder, Wang Wenkui was also ready, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, in recent years, there have been more and more landless displaced people pouring into Nan0 Beijing, and Nan 0 Capital, like other towns in the south of the Yangtze River, is very developed in silk weaving, so these people can rely on weaving workshops to live;
But now with the advent of the Royal Weaving Bureau, suppressing the price of silk weaving, destroying the order of the weaving industry, making a large number of weaving workshops collapse, so that there are many people who have no work to do and no land to plant, they have no way to return to their hometowns can only gather in the city, but there is no work to do, no land to plant, so they have to live in sheds, which can not live for the thieves is also inevitable, if you want to make the south 0 Beijing peaceful, for the ancestors of the Thousand Autumn Society, Wei Chen dared to ask His Majesty to ban the Royal Weaving Bureau, let the people benefit! ”
Wang Wenkui was sharp-tongued and logical, and knelt down directly as he spoke, touching his head to the ground, so that Zhu Youxiao didn't know how to speak for a while.
Zhu Youxiao admits that the Royal Weaving Bureau, a company representing advanced productive forces, will break the old economic order, and as the cost of production decreases, the price of weaving will definitely decrease, which will lead to the shrinking profit margins of other traditional weaving workshops, and eventually be eliminated, so that many weaving workshop employees will be laid off.
But Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that Wang Wenkui would directly ask himself to ban the Royal Weaving Bureau, instead of suggesting to improve the productivity level of other weaving workshops and the technical level of the workers.
"Do you think so, too?" Zhu Youxiao asked the other ministers at this time.
At this time, Lu Bingde, the imperial historian of Nan0 Beijing, also stood up and echoed: "Your Majesty, now the weaving workshop has been squeezed by the Royal Weaving Bureau and can no longer be opened, and many weaving workshops have to lay off a large number of employees in order to survive, not only in Nan 0 Beijing, Su 0 Zhou, Hangzhou 0 and other places, and these employees who have no work to do have now reached hundreds of thousands, if it continues like this, it will provoke a civil uprising." ”
Seeing this, several other officials also came forward to agree with the proposal to ban the Royal Weaving Bureau, and tried their best to persuade Zhu Youxiao to give in to the people, in their opinion, the emergence of the Royal Weaving Bureau is indeed a disaster for the country and the people, and the rising crime rate and housing prices in the Jiangnan area and the increasing number of poor people are also related to this.
Not only that, but a man named Qian Rong even bluntly said that not only the Royal Weaving Bureau made it impossible for the people of Jiangnan to survive, but even the monopoly of the Royal Industrial Company made it impossible for many people in Jiangnan to survive, because the exquisite glass of the Royal Industrial Company squeezed the market of the porcelain manufacturing industry, so that many employees of the porcelain workshop were also laid off and unemployed.
"Then according to what you said, what should be done, is it difficult to stop the glass manufacturing", Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking.
Qian Rong suggested: "Your Majesty does not need to, let the Royal Industrial Company give the secret recipe of glass manufacturing to the porcelain merchants, and the porcelain merchants may be reborn and even gain from it, and the number of people who can live for this can also be increased." ”
"Qian Rong, let me ask you, porcelain making needs clay, stacking clay, drawing blanks, printing blanks, repairing blanks, pouring water, and painting blanks, what is the next step?" Zhu Youxiao asked casually, and Qian Rong replied without thinking about it: "Back to Your Majesty, it's glaze." ”
"Your family burns porcelain, right?", Zhu Youxiao just asked, Qian Rong was speechless, but when he saw His Majesty looking at him coldly, he had to grit his teeth and reply: "Weichen is not in business, it is Weichen's uncle who burns porcelain, so I know something." ”
Seeing that this Qian Rong could still answer truthfully, Zhu Youxiao didn't think about what to do with him, but just announced his retirement from the dynasty with a secret snort.
