Since Emperor Taizu Gao.

In fact, the Ming Emperor was very stingy with the reward of the title.

Of course, this is also a reference to the experience of the previous dynasty, every title awarded means that the court has been supported from generation to generation, once there are too many titles in their hands, it will definitely increase the burden on future generations.

Therefore, even the duke, after experiencing the founding of the country and the martyrdom, is actually only a handful. And the marquis and earl are also very few.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, there are very few people who really have the title. But?????? It is only now that the thinking has changed.

What a person Zhu Di is! He is not an ordinary son of heaven, in the past, the country of the Ming Dynasty was agriculture, and agriculture means that the bearing of land is limited!

If you want to continue the national ancestry, the only way is to think about how to save money.

After all, even with so much land, even if the grain production doubles, there is a limit to its growth. And at this time, throttling is the root of everything.

But now, the national capital of the Ming Dynasty has begun to turn to overseas development and industry and commerce, so it is obviously very inappropriate to continue to buckle the rope and pursue the set of throttling.

Pioneering needs someone to dare to go to the sea, and someone needs to be fearless of hardships and dangers, so ?????? There will be a brave man under the reward.

What's more, the land that has been carved out also needs to be guarded, and the so-called division of the imperial court is essentially to take the land of the local natives and reward it to the heroes and clans.

This practice, for the imperial court, there is no actual loss, but every time the partition has strengthened the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade, so that the imperial court has obtained a more stable source of taxes, and in this overseas, the imperial court has planted seeds one by one, making the Ming Dynasty more meteorological.

For industry and commerce, industry and commerce are still in the stepping stage, but the results have been very obvious, encouraging more people to participate in it, and also allowing the imperial court to obtain huge benefits.

And to encourage, then the foundation of the industry and commerce is the essence of the railway, the development of the railway, will greatly enhance the foundation of industry and commerce, compared with the huge annual income, reward some titles, is really not worth mentioning.

Zhu Di didn't dare to answer when he saw Zhang Anshi and Hu Guang.

They know that they are afraid of it!

If you support the emperor's claim, it is contrary to the tradition and even the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty.

But if they are opposed, whether it is Zhang Anshi or Hu Guang, they are all beneficiaries of this knighthood system, how can they oppose it?

So, Zhu Di smiled and said: "Merit is rewarded, not to mention this time, Xiao Hu Qing's family can be described as nine deaths, I have already checked his merits, even if there is no credit this time, his past merits are also exemplary in the railway division." If I am indifferent to this, who will be like him in the future? Force? Come??? He looked at Yishiha.

Zhu Di has always been a resolute person, and since he has made a decision, there is nothing to hesitate.

Facing Zhu Di's gaze, he hurriedly said: "The slave is here." ”

Zhu Di said: "Canonize Hu Mu as Guangxin Bo, hereditary replacement." ”

He also said, "Oh." ”

After a pause, Zhu Di continued: "In addition, the rest of the dead and injured must also be compensated." In the inner pocket, I also took out some silver taels! Zhang Qing, in your hall, you also have to talk about the merits, don't just because I took out the pension money, you pretend to be stupid and talk about your own things. ”

Since Zhu Di personally came to a conclusion, Zhang Anshi was willing, as long as he did what His Majesty ordered, he hurriedly said: "Obey the order." ”

Although the earl is the lowest in the title of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the gold content is extremely high, which almost means that the descendants of the Hu family can enjoy glory and wealth from generation to generation.

In the Ming Dynasty, almost all the children of the earls belong to the backbone of the guards, even if they don't make it, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, but if they have a little ability, their future is needless to say.

At least in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, almost all of the military ministers who rank first are exclusive to those with titles. Even if after that, the governor's office of the five armies is in vain, but the status of high-level military ministers can be guaranteed.

Hu Guang had mixed feelings for a while.

Even if you are a university scholar, what you can leave to your children and grandchildren is only one? It's just a little shadow official.

It is rare for the emperor to be so atmospheric today, and the Hu family can be regarded as a complete merit! When even worshipped: "The minister's dog?????? Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "You're welcome. ”

He didn't say anything, he was really tired after being busy for so long today, so he immediately ordered someone to retreat. But the next day, he led Zhang Anshi with great interest and went around this Raozhou station.

As far as the eye can see, it has become quite large, and around the station, various car dealers, warehouses, markets, and workshops have also gathered.

With all this, that means a lot of jobs are created!

As a result, the flow of people gathered here, followed by many people living in groups, and many houses also rose from the ground.

Seven or eight miles away from this station, there are large chimneys.

Zhu Di climbed up and looked at it, pointed to the chimney, and said curiously in his eyes: "What is that?" ”

Zhang Anshi looked in the direction pointed by Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has heard that this is a brick kiln. ”

Zhu Di was a little surprised and said, "So much? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The people need housing, workshops also need to be built, and there are other brick needs, which are also countless, because of this, now here, the most lacking is masonry, in order to encourage these, to solve the problem of residential bricks, the railway department also has a special decree, all brick kilns, can be exempted from tax for five years.

Zhu Di bowed his head, although he was already the lord of the world, but he was still very curious about these things that he had not been exposed to before, so he asked: "Don't the people in other places have a need for housing and don't need bricks?" ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "This is different, most of the people in the world are thatched houses, and they will become walls with a layer of mud." This brick house is not something ordinary people can afford. It's like???

??? The city wall, our Nanjing City, the natural city wall is made of bricks and stones, but in fact, the vast majority of the cities in the world are only rammed earth. ”

Zhu Di nodded, then looked at him, and said with a smile: "You guy is a little good, what I ask, other people's explanations are difficult, I may not understand." The more they quote the scriptures, the more confusing they become, because of the ?????? In order to show their erudition, some people quote scriptures, and the more obscure they are, the more subtle the allusions they use, so as to show their skills. ”

"Zhang Qing is different, knowing that I know the city walls, fighting all the way to the south and the north, and I have seen many Japanese cities in the world, so I can immediately understand the reason."

Zhang Anshi also laughed and said: "Because the minister is not a scholar, there is no need to borrow these to show the minister's knowledge." ”

Zhu Di shook his head and said: "Learning is not about reading a few books, or recognizing a few rare words or rare allusions than others, that is rotten Confucianism." ”

In this Raozhou station walked for a few days, the railway division, also came to report the progress of the Jiangxi Railway Division of the various sections, now Nanchang station and Raozhou station are about to penetrate, other sections, has also begun to explore, just waiting for the start of construction.

In order to build the railway, a large number of businessmen from Zhili began to lay out along the railway, and many steel workshops also started to work, in order to obtain materials nearby.

More than 140,000 households have settled along the railway.

With the rollout of the railway, the number of people settled in the new city of each station will also skyrocket.

Borrowing railways to build new cities will not only provide more convenient transportation for the city, but also make the new city have huge transportation and transportation advantages in the future.

At the same time, it has also put many old cities under tremendous pressure, and if the new policy is not thoroughly implemented, these old cities are very likely to be in danger of being directly eliminated.

Ten or twenty years later, it may even be that the imperial court no longer has to send prefectural commanders and prefects there, and the railway department has taken their place.

As for the medical colleges, schools, inspection institutes, agricultural stations, animal husbandry institutes, and bazaars built along the way, there are even more than a dozen of them, large stations and small stations, and there are more than a dozen of them on the line from Nanchang to Raozhou alone.

In just one year, the results have been remarkable.

Zhu Di read the report carefully, but he was very satisfied, and said to Zhang Anshi with a smile: "Zhang Qing, Zhanji is here, it is quite effective. This railway company has gone up and down, so many things, but there is no big mess. Seemingly?????? Junki is good enough to stand alone. ”

As he spoke, he had a look of relief on his face.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "The so-called being in charge of oneself is slowly sharpened, there is no genius in the world, I have seen more, learned more, and experienced for a long time, naturally, I will slowly sum up a set of ways to do things." What's more, His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun is talented and intelligent, and he is much faster to get started.

Zhang Anshi paused and continued: "In fact, this is secondary, this is the biggest advantage of being in charge, the biggest advantage is that His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun has a set of methods to control people, how to discover talents, how to make the best use of people, this is all knowledge." ”

Zhu Di answered thoughtfully: "Yes, hey?????? I can finally rest assured. He paused, seemed to think of something, and said, "Tomorrow, let's drive back to Beijing." ”

Zhang Anshi said in surprise: "So urgent? The minister still thinks ?????? Your Majesty is going to Nanchang Mansion to meet His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun. ”

Zhu Di's feelings and expectations for Zhu Zhanji, his grandson, Zhang Anshi is the clearest, which is equivalent to not seeing him through the door, which is enough to surprise Zhang Anshi.

Zhu Di waved his hand: "No need to see it." I am here, dealing with such a thing, in the Jingshi, I am afraid that many people have already been frightened. At this time, if I don't come back, I can't guarantee that something won't happen. ”

Zhang Anshi immediately understood what Zhu Di meant, nodded busily, and said more.

The progress of the Jiangxi Railway Division is too fast.

In addition, His Majesty dealt with a group of officials of Raozhou Mansion again.

It's almost ?????? It has been clearly stated that in the future, the entire Ming Dynasty will be like Jiangxi. The whole Jiangxi is like a model.

Obviously, for some people, this is nothing less than a catastrophe.

Zhu Di obviously saw his courtiers clearly, if he was not in town at this time, no one would be able to protect him, and nothing would happen.

So early the next morning, after a simple breakfast, Zhu Di led people back to Beijing.

Along the way, Zhu Di seemed to be in high spirits, he couldn't help but say: "This railway, can start from morning to night, even if the emperor goes out to patrol, the cost is greatly reduced, when Qin Shi Huang was there, he inspected the world, dispatched more than 100,000 people, it took several years, and the people and money were lost." Therefore, since ancient times, the emperor has been criticized at home because of his huge expenditure and extravagance. ”

"But today, if this railway is built to all parts of the world, the emperor will go out to patrol, it will cost only a train, and the time it will take is only a few months, I really hope that I can live to this time, and also follow the example of the first emperor, inspect the world, and take a good look at this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."

What Zhu Di said, even Hu Guang agreed.

The ancients opposed the emperor's tour, it was indeed because it cost too much, not to mention the precedent of Qin Shi Huang, this Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also spent countless people's wealth because of his patrols. In people's eyes, these are all factors in the chaos of the world.

This is mainly because the transportation in ancient times was really inconvenient, and the emperor went out, picked up and greeted the driver, as well as a large number of guards along the way, many entourages, and tens of thousands of people along the way to eat and drink, all of which were very amazing.

And if you go out on a trip, it will be protracted, no less than a large-scale war.

Obviously, however, the use of railways greatly reduced the size of time and personnel, and this alone made it possible for the emperor to go on patrol.

I didn't stop too much on the road, so at noon the next day, I finally arrived in the capital.

Zhu Di drove back to the palace, while Zhang Anshi and Hu Guang rushed back to Wenyuan Pavilion non-stop.

Because the two of them came back in too haste, so that Wen Yuange didn't get the slightest rumor in advance, Xie Jin and the others were very surprised to see the two of them come back suddenly.

Even the calm Jin Youzi showed great surprise.

"Princes?????? The old man has not come to duty these days, but he has made the princes suffer. Hu Guang's face was tight, but he still couldn't hide his joy.

When the people saw him like this, they also exchanged pleasantries with him.

Hu Guang said: "But I don't know if you have received Your Majesty's will from Raozhou?" "Will?" Xie Jin frowned and said, "So far, it hasn't been sent yet." ”

Hu Guang sighed with emotion: "The express shop and the general administration department, the work is too procrastinating, there is this time, Your Majesty has returned to the palace, but the will issued the day before yesterday has not yet been delivered, so it seems that the post stations everywhere should be cleaned up." ”

Zhang Anshi hurriedly said on the side: "I think it's okay, the purge is not necessary, in my opinion, in the future, this post station is still promising, not only can it not be rectified, but it can also be used to expand it." ”

Now once the railways begin to be built everywhere in the world, the traditional post stations are bound to be at risk of weakening.

But in Zhang Anshi's view, this may not be a good opportunity. Zhang Anshi couldn't help but feel moved, and his mind began to move.

However, Xie Jin is not clear, Zhang Anshi's personality, he knows, this guy is a little stunned to engage in the new deal, and he really can't wait to remove the hundred officials and the three local divisions, but on the contrary, he is merciful to the subordinates of the post station.

Xie Jin is such a smart person, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Zhang Anshi, and saw Zhang Anshi's thoughtful expression, as if he noticed something, but he also became silent.

Hu Guang actually talked about this post station, just using this as an introduction, who expected that everyone really led the topic to the top of the post station.

So he hurriedly said: "The important thing is Your Majesty's will, my lords, we can't wait to ignore it, we have to hurry up?????? Do it. ”

Yang Rong knew Hu Guang, and immediately knew that Hu Guang was eager to talk about His Majesty's intentions, and he couldn't help but be curious, so he immediately said, "What is the will?" ”

"The clan exterminated the prefect of Raozhou, and many other Qin criminals were all exiled to Xinzhou?? ....”

"In addition to this, there is also a reward about?????? Canonized the railway warden Hu Mu as Guangxinbo. ”

"Feng Bo? What military exploits did this man have? Xie Jin asked subconsciously. Jin Youzi also frowned: "This seems to be out of order." ”

Zhang Anshi only smiled from the side.

Hu Guang stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Yes, this is indeed against the ancestral system, and the old man also wants to make excuses about this matter." ”

Refuse??????

At this moment, everyone understood. That's right, the surname is Hu!

Everyone's hearts are shocked!

Xie Jin took the lead in asking: "This Hu Mu, but I don't know who Hu Gong is?" ”

"It's a dog." Hu Guangdao: "I didn't make any contributions, it's just a matter of eating the king's fortune and being loyal to the king, plus ?????? sacrificing himself to save others caused him to suffer some flesh wounds. But His Majesty attaches great importance to this, hey?????? Your Majesty is too generous.

Well, this time, it's kind of dead talking.

It must be known that the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion did not cause any prejudice against Hu Guang.

After all, Hu Guang's temperament belongs to anyone who can establish a good relationship with him.

can also be a university scholar, and occasionally mention the situation of his children, which over time, there is inevitably some comparison.

Now that Hu Guang's son has been knighted, you say happy, but I can't be happy. Therefore, everyone laughed dryly and congratulated.

Hu Guang pinched his beard and said, "Hey?????? The dog really can't afford such a reward, he ?????? There are still many things to learn, this is just His Majesty's favor to the courtiers, the old man is now in his heart, not only happy, but worried, only worried?????? The dog is proud of this pampering, and he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the young man is ambitious, which is not a good thing! ”

"It's a pity that he is injured, and this time he went out on patrol with His Majesty, and he was in a hurry, otherwise?????? The old man had to send the dog to the ancestral hall and teach him to bow down to the ancestors for a few days there, and reflect and think deeply. At that time, the old man will teach him again, so that he can know ??????"

Yang Rong said: "Hu Gong, I still have some notes that need to be drafted, go back and say." ”

Xie Jin said: "Jin Chun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, should come, and I will discuss a matter of the Criminal Department later, and the old man will go and prepare one or two."

Jin Youzi was still standing aside, but at this time, it seemed that the world had evaporated, and he had disappeared.
