Count the money until your hands cramp, and wake up naturally when you sleep - the scholar wishes everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival!

More than 20,000 people went north, mainly along the Yellow River, but they did not plan to contact Lin Dan Khan, and Zhu Changhao was not arrogant enough to fight with Chahar with 20,000 people.

As of the beginning of June, the three major routes were basically completed, and more than 1,500 people led by Wang Daliang are now walking south along the footsteps of the 8,000 road opening team of the palace.

Wang Daliang has now arrived in Songpanwei, and the next step is to walk towards Yazhou. Just behind the palace Lu Division, who drove Wang Daliang south, followed a large number of Shu merchants and Qin merchants. As the first batch of inland merchants in the Ming Dynasty, they had to go to the sea southwest of the Ming Dynasty by land this time.

Zhu Changhao listened to the businessmen following and the Wangfu Lu Division of the Fangs operation going south, and after listening to it, he didn't say anything, but he wrote a comment to Wang Fuyou, the person in charge of the Fangs operation and the head of the 15th Regiment, asking them to help those businessmen when they could.

This is actually a measure of the businessmen supported by Zhu Changhao, because in the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and agricultural production can only be said to allow them to avoid the suffering of hunger.

At the end of May, Liu Zheng arrived at the last stop of this inspection of the post road, the Ningbo Mansion under the jurisdiction of the Hangzhou Political Envoy; The post post patrol on the second road also arrived at their final stop, Qiongzhou Mansion. Next, the second way has to wait for the arrival of the first way.

After all, although the first road is remote, and the road is difficult, most of them are mountains, forests and rivers, from Menggong in Yunnan Province, and then turn back to the southeast, through the Laos Xuanwei Division, the 800 Dadian Xuanwei Division, and finally return to Nanzhang.

Then from Nanzhang into the waters of the Beibu Gulf, in western Guangdong and the second road post road patrol team convergence, thus returning to Hanzhong.

On June 5, a day of sunbathing dogs, after the first and second patrols converged in Lianzhou Mansion, the 3,500-strong patrol team began to head north, towards Guilin Mansion, and then returned to Hanzhong by boat.

When the first and second teams boarded the ship from Guilin Mansion, Liu Zheng was already sitting in the prince's study, reporting to Zhu Changhao what he had seen and heard in this trip.

"Lord Wang, the little one started from Layue last year, and it took almost half a year to return along the Yangtze River waterway from the south of the Han River, along the Yangtze River waterway, and finally in the Ningbo Mansion under the jurisdiction of the Hangzhou Political Envoy Department."

"Tell me about some of the situations you've seen along the way."

"Yes, my lord!

"After coming down from Wuchang Mansion, although the small ones saw the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, in the villages, the people were miserable, and the farmers' annual income was basically handed over to the government and landlords. If they live in the dry land of Jiangbei, it is estimated that these ordinary people will not be able to survive.

Inside the town, there was a dead and depressed place, and there was no hope in the faces of the peddlers, pawns, and workers. Every day in Qiaotou, in the fixed labor market, many hard laborers, as well as weavers, are waiting for the employment of this employer, and the money they get every day is not enough to eat, and they have to pay all kinds of taxes to the government and the local pranksters, but those workshop owners pay a drop in the bucket.

In this way, when one day, when the hired workers are cornered and the farmers are on the verge of death, the social crops of our Ming Dynasty will be destroyed by the angry people and hired workers, so the little one thinks that the prince, the workshop owners and the landlords on the land boundary of the Han River, must understand the meaning of 'each other', and it is best for the palace to formulate certain laws to protect the survival of the peasants and the hired workers. ”

"I didn't expect Brother Liu to go out like this, and he really understood some of the principles of governing the country, yes, our Ming Dynasty can't be chaotic now, if there is a war in the Guan, the Beijing division will be exhausted. Besides, these rogues don't have the concept of the Ming Empire at all, and they sometimes echo the Jiannu outside the Guan. Let the imperial court be forced to fight on both internal and external fronts.

Of course, if on an ordinary day, when the imperial court is honest and the society is rich, the two fronts are fighting, it will take some effort, and it will be pacified.

But not now, the mess of the Jingshi has rotted to the roots, if Lone's nephew Emperor does not want to stand after the break, Lone is the same as in the past, eating and waiting for death, then in the end, the Ming Dynasty will really die. ”

"The little one understands, the Ming Dynasty now has a vigorous vitality, which is all the credit of the prince, especially now from Xiangyang to Hankou, the large number of workshops, and the plantations built according to the place. Xiao knew in his heart that a different Ming Empire was about to appear. ”

"This king does not deny this, the emergence of the three major industries, the iron and steel workshops created the Ming Empire's ordnance and firearms, the improvement of the textile industry, in order to make the community rich, the introduction of large estate planting and corn and sweet potatoes, in order to stabilize the people of the Ming Dynasty, have food.

With the popularization of these industries, correspondingly, the soldiers of my Ming Dynasty will have a qualitative transformation, and the current military establishment initiated by this king will eventually spread throughout the Ming Dynasty with the momentum of burning the plains. ”

"The little one believes in the prince, and he will eventually reign in the world and realize the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Changhao heard this, pondered for a while, and said with a smile, "The king will not be in the world, but in the end, our Ming court will take the current political cabinet and military cabinet as the prototype."

Let's not talk about that, let's talk about the current situation of your third road station this time! ”

"Yes, my lord. The small one started from Jingzhou Mansion and passed through Jiujiang, Anqing, Luzhou, Yingtianfu, Ningguo, Suzhou, Songjiang, Hangzhou, and Ningbo Mansion. There are no less than 300 post stations of all sizes, but these post stations are too occupied by the local tyrants, ruffians, and officials, and many post stations are basically a place where you can sleep, and the food in them can only be said to be full. But in the big state capital, the post station is still very luxurious, and the food and accommodation in it are no worse than many local restaurants and green buildings.

Moreover, many officials with real power, when they live in the post station, the post chief will also call famous characters and Oiran from the Qinglou, and they will accompany them at night. In this way, the post station will spend a lot of entertainment funds, but the imperial court will not allocate these funds to them again. Therefore, this caused the loss of funds of the post station, but this loss could not be made up by the officials and post chiefs who entertained them, so in the end, it was necessary to use the post station staff and the post station's property to use their brains, so that they would rent out the post station's façade, open the post station, reduce the post station's income, and some post stations directly do business, until in the end, these properties of the post station were drifted away. ”

"Well, what you said, Lone has also taken it into account, and now, this king has canceled the reception of officials and family members in the Daming Station, but the official letter is free of charge for the transmission of documents from the imperial court."

"Yes, my lord, it's just a small consideration, if some officials don't live in the post house, then they will have to spend money outside, and they will feel like cutting their flesh with a knife. In this way, some officials are expected to cause trouble for these post stations. I hope that the prince can send some law enforcement teams to deal with emergencies in some post stations in a timely manner. ”

"Well, this mention is good, but for this matter, Lone needs to ask Jingshi for a holy decree, for those officials who are looking for trouble, ruffians, and heroes, we must decisively cut off those black hands.

Uncle Wang, you go down in the tone of this king, and draw up a note, about dealing with those who have nothing to do to provoke the station, it is best to have a Shang Fang sword. In addition, if you explain it later, you will say that the Ruiwang Mansion will escort the 300,000 silver dollars made by the Ruiwang firm this summer to the Jingshi and make a modest contribution to the Daming Society. ”

"Yes, lord, the old slave will do it."

When Uncle Wang went to write the holy decree, Zhu Changhao glanced at Liu Zheng carefully, "Brother Liu, come down, you continue to do the Hawkeye and the Heavenly Rat Intelligence Organization, in addition, the king's post station industry will be handed over to you, and you will be responsible for the operation of the post station, as well as the maintenance of the post station." ”

"Yes, my lord, the little one obeys."

Liu Zheng came back, and Zhu Changhao suddenly felt that his intelligence organization had been perfected all of a sudden, and he was no longer free from the disadvantages of Xu Fu's kind of amateurism and singleness of intelligence.

In fact, Zhu Changhao, as a superior person, never likes to put his intelligence information sources in one basket, after all, cunning rabbits have three holes, let alone people?

On the eighth day of the sixth month, Ruiwang's Mansion, Ziqitang.

This day is the full moon wine of Zhu Guoyi and Zhu Hibiscus, from Hankou, all the way to Mian County, the westernmost part of Hanzhong Prefecture, Luoyang, and the surrounding county governments, have already come, and even the little eunuch Liupin, the master of ceremonies in Beijing, also sent the Jingshi to canonize the two children.

Canonized Zhu Guoyi as the prince of Rui Wangfu, and Zhu Hibiscus as the lord of Baohua.

Zhu Changhao also took advantage of this full moon wine to conduct a rectification meeting with all the subordinate officials of the palace in the three thousand miles.

In the next three days, Zhu Changhao did not go out with these subordinate officials, but ate and lived in the palace, and after giving lectures in person during the day, he gave them exams at night.

All the test questions are what I talked about during the day, and the question types are relatively lively.

The subordinate officials of the royal palace studied day and night for three days. When three days later, when the exam was over, Zhu Changhao held a banquet in the Purple Qi Hall, and when the banquet was held, he ate a meal for more than two hours.

It took so long to eat, not that the subordinate officials of the palace were like pigs, and they could eat more, but because Zhu Changhao systematically expounded the changes that would take place in the future of Daming and his own future vision.

In this way, after Zhu Changhao carried out his thoughts, he asked Sun Chengzong to stay in the palace as the palace, and he took the official ship and took Liu Zheng and a cadre of subordinate officials to the east along the river.

After coming out of Hanzhong, one morning, Zhu Changhao took Liu Zheng to Chenggu County, and asked the prince's subordinate officials to continue to travel east, so he went to the big manor plantation in Chenggu County to see how the three major industries of the palace are developing in Chenggu County, how much economic value is there, and how much tax can the palace get from their manor or workshop this year, and how much output value it produces.

Inspecting the industry is a very strict thing, this inspection of the industry, is for the accurate transformation of the Ming Dynasty in the future, set the goal of reforming the Ming society in the past five years, Zhu Changhao will never allow numerical fraud, this inspection, if the counterfeiter is found, it is possible to make the counterfeiter regret for life!
