Chapter 619: New Look

Along the official road to the north, there are still sails on the canal, after the rise of shipping, the canal Tianjin to Tongzhou section, but become prosperous. The traffic on the official road is like a dragon, and the desolate North Zhili has been restored to prosperity in just two years, and even greatly exceeded the previous one. Pointing to a convoy that stopped and gave way on the side of the official road, Wu Zhi said with emotion: "This is a convoy from Liaodong, loaded with light goods such as wool tweed and fur, and the heavier ones are all by water. When someone took the canal to talk about things, our family was strange, the canal left Caoyun and declined? Now it seems that it is all. The goods departed from Nanjing, took the waterway to Guazhou, and transferred to the north of the canal. It is still necessary to encourage industry and commerce, even if some commercial taxes are collected, they are also used to dredge rivers and build pipelines. Cabinet-sama, do you think that's the truth? ”

The eunuch entered the celebrant eunuch, which is basically the highest pursuit in life. Chen Xie doesn't like this institution very much, but the emperor definitely won't think so, at least Zhu Youzhen won't. The thing of monarchy is too sensitive, and not every emperor has the courage to give up the power in his hands. Zhu Youzhen has already made a lot of concessions, and the control of the foreign court is no longer as strict as it was at the beginning.

In fact, Chen Xie thought that the emperor only needed to take care of the things that should be managed. For example, the rule of officials, this is a major event related to the stability of the country, there is also the general direction of the country's development, and then there is the army, and it is already very good to manage these things well. It's a pity that these emperors of the Ming Dynasty are all extremists, either they are very thorough in sabotage, or they have to manage everything and seize all power. And these grandchildren are all smart, and there are really a lot of partial talents. What a carpenter master, what a cultivator. In short, look at these emperors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there are several who are not doing their jobs.

Xinghai Gong returned to Beijing. Naturally, the local government wanted to close the road along the way, but Chen Xie said hello in advance, just let him be on the side of the road, and don't delay other people's livelihoods. In this way, all the way to the Guangqu Gate, when I saw the city gate from afar. The greeting procession appeared. Of course, other Guogong does not have this treatment, Chen Xie is really unusual.

All the bigwigs in the cabinet were dispatched, and Zhou Yanru stood at the front and bowed his hand: "Sihua, you haven't changed at all, unlike me, you're old." Saying that, he stroked his white beard, Zhou Yanru is really old, but his face is very good. It's red-faced. This is related to his situation, this time he is in charge of the cabinet, and there are many fewer places that are constrained by the inner court. In the past, the cabinet had the right to wear red, and there were many cases where the votes of the outer court were dragged in and not approved. It's different now, there is a time limit for wearing red, and the votes sent by the cabinet are proposed, at most two days, and an explanation must be given. No, it doesn't work. It all has to be explained. No matter how awesome the celebrant eunuch is, he encounters something that can't be solved. can only report to Wang Chengen, and then transfer it to the emperor for decision.

In this way, the work efficiency is greatly improved, everything can be solved as quickly as possible, and there are fewer troubles. In one is the financial revenue of the imperial court, which has received four million silver yuan a year from before. It has been increased to 10 million silver yuan.

"Now the coastal provinces are clamoring to open the sea, Zhejiang, Liangguang, and the folds are piled up. reported to His Majesty, but there was no decision. Sihua. You came back in time this time, and if you want to convince Your Majesty, you have to be you. "Zhou Yanru hurried up to mention this matter, Chen Xie couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, do you want me to tell the emperor about this matter? Cabinet bigwigs, you can really find me something to do.

"What do the provincial reports say?" Chen Xie remained silent, asked first, and continued to meet with others over and over again. Zhou Yanru was not too troublesome, and continued unhurriedly with Chen Xie's side: "What else can I say, list the benefits of opening the sea, and let the postlude ask His Majesty for approval." Chen Xie stood up abruptly and said with a smile: "Just do this, and expect me to go and tell His Majesty?" Is it as simple as talking about the sea? Site selection of the Ship Division, CV of the inspection team, investment in infrastructure. There are so many things, there are a lot of things, there is no clear plan, what kind of sea? No wonder His Majesty disagreed, when I wanted to open the sea, the newspaper wrote more than 30 pages, starting from the selection of the new area, how good this place is, how convenient it is to transport, and how easy to inspect. Let's talk about the construction of the new area, how to plan, where to get the capital investment, how to recover the money in the future, and finally the formation of the shipping department. They poured well, a piece of paper, less than five hundred words, late. You say, Your Majesty is so wise, can you agree to such a ridiculous recital? ”

Zhou Yanru was choked, Chen Xie was facing Yang Tinglin, and said with a smile: "In-laws, I'm going to find trouble for you when I come back this time." Yang Tinglin laughed and said, "Sihua, what trouble can you give me?" You're a fortune boy, and you can still care about my spending? I don't believe it. Chen Xie smiled: "If you don't believe it, then wait and see, you are in trouble." ”

said hello to Lu Xiangsheng again and ignored him. Yang Tinglin was stunned for a moment, and felt that he was serious, not like, and hurriedly grabbed Chen Xie's sleeve: "You wait, after speaking, you can't talk halfway." Chen Xie turned around and smiled: "I can't tell you this, I'll talk to Your Majesty." Don't drag me, I'll talk to Jiandou. ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled on the side and said nothing, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen was also a relatively easy year for him, the secretary of the military department. Under the emperor's firm will and strong military support, the reorganization of the Beijing camp was carried out very smoothly, and there was a mature plan over there before, and Nanjing had done it there. It is not good to cut it directly, then keep the establishment, keep the officers, give a salary and don't need them to lead the troops, just raise you for 30 years, and when you are old, you will have nothing to say. The next step is to build a chengguan yamen, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp will go and stay there, and it is actually very important to ensure the sanitary environment of the Beijing division. Older soldiers, you go to sweep the streets, you have a salary every month. The young and strong, maintain the order of the capital, build a few markets, and the small merchants and vendors who sell along the streets go to stay there. The buildings on the road have been demolished, and you have blocked the road. Anyway, there are a lot of things, and I'm not afraid of not having a bite to eat.

In less than a year, Beijing Normal University has changed, the ground is clean, the scene of sewage flowing in the past is rare, urban construction has also begun, ditches, roads and so on, there are many things that cannot be done. Of course, that's Shuntianfu Yin's business, and he shouldn't worry about it. His mind was all on the next step, how to rectify the armies in various places. The abolition of the guard post has reached the point where there is no room for delay, and if this thing is stored for a day, it will waste an extra day's salary. In addition, the armies of the commanders-in-chief of all localities should also be reorganized. Lu Xiangsheng's affairs are smooth, and his work is also very fulfilling, and he doesn't have to worry about when the Qing army will come in like before. Natural, in good spirits, in good health, with a good complexion.

Someone's face was ugly, or embarrassed, when he saw Chen Xie, he was a little reluctant, this person was naturally Wei Zaode, if it weren't for Zhu Youzhen protecting him, he would have been unable to stay in the cabinet for a long time. Even so, now the Wei family is on the boundary of their hometown, so they can farm and do business with peace of mind? Hehe! Not to mention him, other people who are in the same party as him, and those who are in business at home, have nothing to leave behind.

Even if a person has no benefit to others, it will affect others, and this person will naturally be disgusted. Wei Zaode is now in this state in the imperial court, and the former friends have switched to other camps, leaving aside the relationship, and being affected on the one hand. If Zhu Youzhen hadn't let go, he would have gone home a long time ago. A cabinet minister, mixed up like this, is miserable enough.

Chen Xie, of course, didn't have a good face for him, he didn't smile at him, he immediately walked forward, and the moment he passed by, he didn't forget to give him a gloomy look. Dare to worry about Chen Xie's bank, this Nima is a dead knot that can't be dissolved.

Hong Chengchou was unexpectedly calm, there was no inextricable mortal enmity between him and Chen Xie, as long as he let it go, Chen Xie would naturally let it go. With a smile, Hong Chengchou said: "Hold it in your hand, and raise the prestige of the Ming Dynasty in a foreign land, Sihua, amazing!" ”

Chen Xie smiled: "It's too famous, speaking of this, everyone knows Tianzhu and Mubang, right?" These two countries are good places, one rich in copper and jadeite, and the other rich in gold. Before leaving, a fleet went to Tianzhu and took a trip to Mubang by the way. If there is no stability in this sea matter, I won't give you a ticket. Family members who are willing to go on an adventure and make a fortune together can go to Manager Liu. ”

These words, the hearts of everyone who said it were pounding, and it was the norm for the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty to do business in every household. Nowadays, if you want to make the fastest money, is there anything faster than running a maritime business? I heard that there is gold everywhere, and it is copper ore and jadeite, and Daming really lacks this. Chen Xie takes the lead, and everyone will get rich together. When I turned around, I asked my family to go to Huating to find Mr. Liu.

After some greetings, he continued to move forward, and walked to the gate of Guangqu, Chen Xie had to stop again. Because the crown prince Zhu Cihong is standing here and waiting, he can't come down. It is said that Zhu Cihong can also go to the front and wait, but he doesn't want to make the ministers uncomfortable, so he waits here alone. After all, he is still the crown prince now, hehe, there is no less to avoid.

"Sir is back! My sister has been waiting here for a while. After saying this, Zhu Cihong let go of his body, the carriage curtain behind him opened, and a young woman holding a child came down, dressed in a costume, very enchanting, and when she saw Chen Xie, tears immediately fell.

Chen Xie stepped forward, and Zhu Yujiao held back her tears and said, "Look at the child, everyone who is waiting for you is asleep." Chen Xie didn't pick up the child, but hugged the child and his wife together, and then looked down at the child, this kid slept very similarly, sucking his thumb. (To be continued......)
