The Ming Dynasty's Cao Yun system has a long history, it is not unique to the Ming Dynasty from the root, the earliest can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because since ancient times Cao Yun is always easy to breed corruption, so when the Ming Dynasty was founded, the Cao Yun Division was established.

Later, the Sili Mansion was abolished, the Caoyun Mansion was established, and the post of Caoyun Governor was established.

Walk with the household department, and manage the Ming Dynasty Caoyun, but because the Ming Dynasty has experienced the history of moving the capital from Nanjing to today's Jingshi, the Caoyun Mansion has completely fallen into the management of the household department, after all, the Caoyun at this time has already been a major matter.

It is an important source of food for Jingshi and Liaodong.

Of course, this is mainly because the rich land south of the Yangtze River in the south is rich in grain, and several provincial capitals have the important task of transporting grain to Beijing.

However, not all provincial capitals, most of them are concentrated in Zhejiang, and the starting point of Caoyun is also from Hangzhou to Beijing.

..

The map in front of him is the result of Zhu Youzhen's latest flop.

Although he didn't know why something like a map was pulled out of the system, Zhu Youzhen didn't find it strange.

After all, hereafter.

The main place to sell paper maps is bookstores.

And this time it was drawn.

Not only is the map of the territory of the Ming Dynasty so simple, but the most important thing is that this map is fundamentally different from all the maps drawn by the Ming Dynasty now, that is, it is a map born according to the detailed geographical information of later generations and the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, the map is not only Daming, but also in Zhu Youjian's system space.

There is also another world map, but this world map, Zhu Youzhen is not ready to take it out now.

After all, for people in today's world.

What the whole world is really like.

There is no accurate verdict, and there are still a lot of borderlands that have not been discovered.

Get a more accurate map of the world one step ahead.

For the future of the Ming Dynasty, participate in the world's hegemony.

has a vital role.

What's more, you can also come up with some other tricks based on this map...

Zhu Youzhen also heard Guo Yunhou's voice.

But he didn't turn his head for the first time, but carefully observed the detailed route of the Ming Dynasty on the map, and after a long time, he finally said slowly: "Guo Aiqing.. I don't know what you think of the change of the Ming Dynasty into the sea."

Guo Yunhou was stunned, isn't this exactly the topic that the group of people talked about in their own homes today?

It's hard to be a bad thing today.

Is it really in the luck?

If so, it's bad...

Guo Yunhou thought to himself, and said: "Back to the emperor, the Ming Dynasty has been transported for a long time, and if you want to change to sea transportation for a while, I am afraid it will be a little difficult. What's more, above the sea, it is unpredictable, and the grain of water transportation is very important... I thought it would be better to keep the luck..."

Zhu Youzhen nodded in agreement, and said slowly: "Indeed... After all, shipping is not as safe as Caoyun, and Caoyun is not as windy and rough as the sea, but I want to ask Guo Aiqing a question."

"Your Majesty.. Just ask.." Guo Yunhou said hesitantly.

"Why are the Dutch, Portuguese, British, and even Japanese willing to brave the wind and waves to come to our Ming Dynasty to trade, and my Ming Dynasty doesn't even have the courage to transport grain by sea... I don't believe it, I'm so unlucky, all the grain is sunk in the sea in the wind and waves! Could it be that the grain ships of the Ming Dynasty are all paper-paste! ”

Zhu Youzhen's post is really tricky.

It is also the problem that the Ming Cao Yun system is becoming more and more untenable.

Overseas grain through the sea, drifting across the ocean to Daming, people are not afraid of ships encountering wind and waves.

Why is Daming short, almost along the coastline of sea transportation.

There are always problems, which leads to the fact that the Ming Dynasty still uses the old-fashioned way of transporting grain.

Guo Yunhou was a little speechless, but still said: "The minister thinks. This Cao transport of grain, related to the national economy and people's livelihood in Beijing, or to think twice, overseas grain mostly from various countries, now the Ming Dynasty does not have too many shipping ships. Most of them are just suitable for Cao Yun."

"I'm even more confused, is it because this Ming ship can't transport grain through Cao Yun, or is it my Da Ming, someone doesn't want to see me transport grain through Cao Yun?" Zhu Youzhen's words made Guo Yunhou suddenly break out in a cold sweat.

The head is buried lower.. He bowed his head and said, "I think... This matter and... No problem. ”

Zhu Youzhen, who turned around slowly, looked at Guo Yunhou, and Zhu Youzhen, who was familiar with history, knew that people could not be defined just from whether they were greedy for money or not.

Especially the core ministers of the imperial court like Guo Yunhou.

It is not a simple matter to be in charge of the household department, if he is really not greedy for any money, there will be a big problem.

So he opened his mouth and said, "I heard that your Guo family's house has been very lively recently! Many businessmen from Zhejiang are willing to come to Beijing to walk around after coming to Beijing, I don't know why they like to visit Guo Aiqing's home so much! ”

Guo Yunhou hurriedly explained: "Minister! The minister really doesn't know at all, he just thinks that those people are just old people from the minister's hometown, and he really doesn't know that they have all become businessmen now..."

Zhu Youzhen nodded, as if he had accepted Guo Yunhou's statement.

"Okay, tell me the specific details of today's Da Ming Cao Yun... I want to hear a good talk from you, the head of the household..."

Guo Yunhou hurriedly nodded and said: "Back to the emperor, now the Daming Cao Yun is divided into two and a half years and two transportation lines in the north and south, and most of the northern routes are now not used to transport grain, mainly a small part of the Beijing-Tianjin Zhili is only used to transport goods from the port to Beijing. ”

"And the southern transportation line, that is, from Hangzhou to Beijing, because the annual grain is about 20 million stones, the transportation volume is too large, in order not to delay the workers to return to their hometowns to farm, so the way of transporting up and down two and a half years is adopted..."

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said: "That is to say, this Cao Yun is now almost used to transport goods in the north, and the main thing that is really being used is this Cao Yun route from Beijing to Hangzhou?" ”

Guo Yunhou immediately replied: "Exactly.."

"And who is this Governor of Caoyun now?"

Guo Yunhou hesitated a little and said: "Caoyun Mansion is now almost under the management of the Ministry of Households. The governor of Caoyun is now the minister's household servant... Li Shiquan.."

"Then who is in charge of the Caoyun officials and even the grain chiefs of the prefectures and counties?"
