Although Xie Jin now knows how to solve the final difficulty of the construction of the western railway.

But he still followed what Gao Yangzhi said and went to find Zhu Yunxi.

After all, Xie Jin thought about it, this matter is not only to go through a cabinet meeting, but the most important thing is to have this matter raised by Taisun first.

If he Xie Jin forcibly relocated the ancestral graves of the people, then he would inevitably insist that it was none of anyone's business and that he was the only one who did it.

But the court was gracious, and the emperor issued an order to move the graves for the people, that is, the state was sympathetic to the people and gave the people grace, and this matter became a matter for the royal family to show the kindness of the heavenly family.

Although he Xie Jin is said to be the cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty, some things still have to be divided into one and the lowest in order.

Zhu Yunxi didn't expect that Xie Jin would come up with such a method, and after careful consideration, he felt that it would take a long time to solve the problem in the hearts of the people, but it was indeed a good way to make the people not feel that the railway was a flood beast, and to block the construction of the railway.

"It's a good way to solve the cabinet, the royal will, the people, the last difficulty in the construction of the western railway, has now been solved."

Xie Jin didn't dare to take credit, and said frankly: "Back to Your Highness, what did the minister think of." If it was really a minister who could have figured it out, he wouldn't have been in a hurry because of this matter a few days ago. ”

Zhu Yunxi held the teacup, took a sip gently, and looked curious: "Oh? In this way, this method was not thought of by Xie Ge, who came up with it. ”

Recently, he was first busy with the development of the basic industries built around Zhili Road and Yingtian City, and then he turned to the matter of the complete transformation of the Tusi in the southwest, and really did not ask much about the affairs of Xie Jin and the cabinet.

Xie Jin smiled: "It's not someone else, it's the spring breeze he came up with." Chunfeng said that His Royal Highness proposed in the court in the past that he wanted the court to build a mausoleum for my Ming meritorious service in Zhongshan, and to build a mausoleum for meritorious heroes outside the city.

As soon as this move began, the Manchu Dynasty was overjoyed.

Nowadays, the people in the northwest are dissatisfied with the imperial court's desire to build the western railway to communicate with the Western Regions because of the railway crossing the ancestral tomb. Then you can follow the example of His Royal Highness in the past, build a mausoleum in the northwest place, supervise the construction of the memorial arch of merit, and the officials will pay tribute to the winter solstice in the Qingming Dynasty, and the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people will inevitably be eliminated.

The minister thought that this was a good idea, so he came to discuss with His Highness. ”

Zhu Yunxi held the teacup in both hands, staring at Xie Jin respectfully in front of him with deep eyes.

He smiled slightly.

"The method is a good way, it is not difficult for the old man to make a decree, and it is not impossible for each cemetery to build a merit archway, that is, to call those local officials to enter the park every Qingming and winter solstice, and only need a will of the imperial court."

Zhu Yunxi spoke softly, and his eyes were silently staring at Xie Jin: "It's just that, although this is done for the Western Railway, since this is going to be done, then why not do this thing very well, so that the people can't find the slightest fault, and can't let the people feel that the imperial court will only do this because of the Western Railway." ”

Xie Jin cautiously stepped forward.

"What does Your Highness mean?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "I called the people of Qin Tianjian, and went to the Monk Lu Division and the Dao Lu Division to co-organize, and asked the two masters of Buddhism and Taoism to let them go along the Northwest Railway." Exploring the best places in feng shui, first hold a water and land puja, it is said that it should be the will of the imperial court to open the land of feng shui, accumulate yin virtue for the ancestral tombs of the people, and create a blessed land.

Another day of memorial that is different from Qingming and Dragon Boat Festival, all local officials and citizens can enter the park to pay respects and pray for the deceased in the park.

The imperial court issued another decree, and in the future, every Qingming, winter solstice, and memorial day, the trains along the Western Railway will be suspended, and the people who will move the graves along the line will be transported to the cemetery to pay tribute to the ancestors.

In this way, it is convenient for the people who move the graves far away from the cemetery to pay tribute to their ancestors. There will be no people who move their graves, and they will not be able to pay tribute to their ancestors.

Outside the cemetery, these three days a year are paid by the imperial court to buy incense, candles, and paper money needed for the memorial service, so that the people can also save some. ”

Thin.

Xie Jin's eyes widened as he listened.

He originally thought that as long as the cemetery was built along the western railway, the problem of the people along the line blocking the construction of the railway could be solved.

But now it is supplemented by Zhu Yunxi.

He felt that he was one of those people, and there was no reason to refuse.

In addition to the Qingming Dragon Boat Festival, the imperial court also has to choose another day as a memorial day. Moreover, the Western Railway is suspended for these three days every year, so that those people can pay tribute to their ancestors.

There are also free incense candles and paper money.

This is a meticulous and nuanced way of thinking about the possible troubles of the people.

Zhu Yunxi put down the teacup, looked at the speechless Xie Jin in front of him, and just smiled slightly.

"Relieve the cabinet and go back to the cabinet to play a concert, and when the time comes, ask someone to send it to Gu, and Gu will turn around and send it to His Majesty for personal reading."

Xie Jin clenched his fists and bowed.

"The minister retired."

……

The twenty-ninth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty was finally spent in a heavy snow.

The last period before the end of the year.

The court was extremely busy.

The first is Xiping Hou Muying, who has been promoted to the title of Duke of Qianguo, and can be regarded as a complete cabinet minister.

Regarding the matter of Mu Yingjin being crowned the Duke of Qian, the government and the opposition have no opinions.

After all, according to everyone's thoughts, if it weren't for the relationship between Mu Ying, the Duke of Qianguo, and the royal family in his early years, and the fact that he had become a relative of the Taisun Mansion in the past two years.

He Mu Ying should have been promoted to the title of Duke of the Kingdom a long time ago.

Now that he has become a national prince, it is already the result that should have been delayed for a long time.

Then, on the day when the imperial court sealed Muying as the Duke of Qianguo, it also issued an order to change the Duke of Liang to the Duke of Liang.

It's just that when Lan Yu receives the will, I'm afraid that I will have to wait until next year to know the news.

At this time, he was still on the Baikal line, building a new frontier fort defense line for the Ming Dynasty. It's just that everyone knows that on the day the will is delivered, Lan Yu is afraid that he will get drunk.

After all, Lan Yu was supposed to be Liang Guogong back then, but it was only because what he did at that time was too arrogant that he changed the Liang character to a cool character as a warning.

Now it's a go-get.

On the day the decree came down, Lan Yu's eldest son, Lan Chun, entered the palace and thanked his father.

I heard from an official who met that Lan Chunhe entered the palace with red eyes, and walked out of the palace with tears on his face but a smile on his face.

In addition to these two incidents involving the national government a year ago.

It is the yamen of the various ministries and departments of the court, and the collegial settlement has the financial revenue and expenditure of the Ming Dynasty in the 29th year of Hongwu.

Generally speaking, the Ming Dynasty in the 29th year of Hongwu can be regarded as a prosperous scene.

Although the imperial court spent countless efforts to carry out the northern expedition, the impact on the finances was not great.

It's not even as expensive as building the Daqing City that hasn't been built yet.

The court is getting richer and richer, which makes Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, the best-looking person at the year-end meeting.

At the meeting, it was calculated that the household department not only had money this year, but also saved a lot of money and grain for the imperial court.

It's just that except for the cabinet and the nine secretaries of various ministries, others don't know how much money and food this money is.

However, judging from the fact that the Ministry of Industry has built a full ninety-nine warehouses on the north side of Xuanwu Lake with a wave of its wealth, the Ministry of Household Affairs has really saved a lot of money and grain.

Because he was the governor of Zhili Province, Zou Xueyu also participated in the year-end accounts meeting.

Seeing that Zhang Ergong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, nodded, and said that it would only take half a year to build ninety-nine warehouses for the Ministry of Households, Zou Xueyu's face smiled.

Ying Tianfu was also under the jurisdiction of the governor of his direct subordinate, and so many warehouses were built at the same time, so it was inevitable to employ a large number of people to work. And it must not only be limited to Ying Tianfu, because now Ying Tianfu has a magical picture.

Because countless workshops have been built, and countless handicraft workshops have been put into use.

In the realm of Yingtianfu, it is rare to have a labor shortage.

Now Ying Tianfu has begun to ask the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili to coordinate with the surrounding prefectures and counties to get those idle people to work in Ying Tianfu.

The more people work, the more silver they earn, which means that the economic level of Zhili Dao is better and the people are richer.

Then he, the minister of the governor of Zhili, can be regarded as qualified.

Basically everyone was very happy at the meeting.

At the end of the day, the crown prince Zhu Biao, who presided over the meeting, after discussing with the imperial grandson, even opened his mouth to take advantage of the wealth of the household and the approaching New Year, so according to the grade of the court officials, they all had a real reward, which was regarded as a New Year's gift.

At this moment, everyone was happy.

In this way, the imperial court's settlement meeting for the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, plus some trivial matters, was finally discussed.

This was followed by the imperial court's budget for the upcoming 30 years of Hongwu, as well as the work plan.

At this time, Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, immediately became a miser, and even a matter of one or two silvers had to be compared with the members of the ministry and a group of colleagues.

However, at present, the majority of the imperial court's expenses are actually not much.

The first is the construction of the Yellow River, and Pan Deshan, the governor of the river, has already made a budget, and sending it to the imperial court is just a formality.

After all, the achievements of the current construction of the river are also known to the imperial court, and they are all good materials and good craftsmanship that are practical and practical.

In addition to the original cement roads that need to be extended, several new routes will now be added to increase the freight capacity of Yingtiancheng to connect the surrounding areas.

This incident made Zou Xueyu, the minister of the Governor of Zhili, happy for a while.

After all, no matter how this route goes, it always has to start from his territory and pass by, and the series of derivatives brought about by paving the road show that a large part of the money and food spent by the household department will fall on the people of his Zhili Dao.

The third is the construction expenditure of the imperial court in the Daqing City under Daqing Mountain.

This is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty for the naturalization of the grassland.

Even Xia Yuanji, who has become a miser, has no reason to object, and even shows that even if Daqingcheng has no income in the future, it is a money-losing place, and the household department can squeeze out the money to invest in the construction of Daqingcheng.

In addition to these three major expenditures, only the regular expenditures of the Southern Expeditionary Army remained, and the left and right were only the supply of military grain and grass materials. The expenditure of silver money is still concentrated on the pension of the fallen soldiers, and it is impossible for the imperial court not to pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, and cut off the pension of the fallen soldiers and the support of the orphans.

In addition, in the end, it is the beginning of two new big heads.

One of them is the plan for the construction of the Western Railway proposed by Xie Jin, a cabinet minister, and the consultative plan for the reopening of the Silk Road in the Western Regions.

This is a big project with an expenditure of about 50 million taels of silver, not counting the formation of the army of the Western Expedition and the construction and transportation of grain, grass and military supplies.

But fortunately, the railroad needs to be repaired little by little, but the cost of the army is nothing.

Regarding the relocation of the ancestral graves of the people along the railway, the imperial court has also made a decree. Judging from the situation transmitted from the locality, the people have no objection now, and many people are beginning to look forward to the imperial court to build the railway quickly, so that their ancestors can be buried in the cemetery built by the emperor's decree, looking forward to whether their own family can also receive the blessings of their ancestors, so that their children and grandchildren can get a touch of the blessings of heaven.

The imperial court used another way to solve the last problem before the construction of the Western Railway began.

And there is a theory of feng shui luck, which was also smashed by the cemetery built by the royal decree.

On the contrary, within the royal family, there is a scoffence at the occasional rumor about what kind of railroad construction will destroy the dragon vein.

This Ming Dynasty was brought down by the emperor himself.

Is there a dragon vein, can the founding emperor still know?

As for the last budget, it will fall tens of thousands of miles away in the New World.

The imperial court had already established a policy of vigorously exploiting the New World.

Two support teams have been formed for this purpose.

One is a land team dominated by the northern border army, with the trajectory left by the team that pioneered the exploration of the New World, building official roads and post stations along the line, and exploring resources along the route.

The other is the cross-sea fleet drawn from the naval fleet.

Dozens of large and small ships were loaded with all kinds of materials and equipment needed for the development of the New World. After they finish replenishing in Yingtian City, and then go to Yingzhou Sidao to complete the final preparations, they will set off along the coastline and first open up a large material transportation channel by sea.

Then they will explore the shortest sea routes, shortening the travel time between the Central Plains and the New World.

Regarding the development of the New World, there were two factions within the imperial court.

One faction strongly supported the development of the New World, believing that as long as the imperial court developed the New World and shortened the time between the two places, the Ming Dynasty would gain great strategic benefits and balance the contradictions and pressures within the Central Plains.

The other faction believes that although the New World is good, it is too far away, and there is too much investment in the early stage, and there may be a risk of tearing the ground to become king in the future.

It's just that the emperor's family firmly supports the development of the New World, and the opposition in the court can only say a few words.

As for the development of the New World, the debate ended with the mobilization of huge resources.

It's just in a place where no one knows about it except for the cabinet and the six books.

In the budget of Hongwu for 30 years, the imperial court added a budget to improve the infrastructure of Huguang Road connecting Sichuan, Guangxi, and Yunnan provinces.

On the surface, it was used to improve the official road transportation in various parts of the southwest, but in fact, this budget was only approved with a layer of disguise for the military budget of the southwest Tusi to be converted into land and returned to the stream.

It's just that in order not to startle the snake, I changed the reason.

And when all is over.

The hall full of vermilion in Yingtian City, against the wind and snow, left footprints one by one, after walking out of the imperial city.

Daming.

In a burst of lively firecrackers, the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu ended.

ushered in the 30th anniversary of Hongwu.
