Chapter 199: Wenhua Asks Politics
Henan River Yamen, but Henan is a large province through Caoyun, and Caoyun is also indispensable to Henan's local Davids and various states and counties, so a replacement yamen is needed.
Before, the establishment of the river yamen was originally temporarily used by Zhu Di to control the floods, who Cheng wanted to be set up from the last years of Yongle to the present, set up for 21 years.
Since this big problem has been discovered, it needs to be corrected immediately.
Now for Zhu Di, it is necessary to completely cure the flood at one time, and the minister of water control cannot be turned into a permanent position, and there is no need for the Henan River Yamen to exist.
But Cao Yun is also an extension problem that Zhu Di saw from this water control.
Cao Yun, involving the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, affecting a large number of farmers and health centers, related to the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, now it seems that the law of Cao Yun has been too old, old.
Moreover, in the twenty-five years of Hongxi, Xuande and the orthodox three dynasties, how many changes have been made in Cao Law, these Zhu Di are not very clear.
Now, it's time to find out.
March 21, 2nd year of Jingtai, Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.
The Wenhua Hall was built in the 19th year of Yongle, with a layout in the shape of "work", and is divided into two small halls before and after, which are connected by corridors between the two halls.
Generally speaking, there will be palace people standing in the corridor in the morning and evening.
The front hall is the Wenhua Palace, it is the top of the Yellow Glazed Tile Mountain, it is the place where the crown prince and the ministers govern, the apse is the main hall, the regulation is similar to the Wenhua Palace, and it is the place where the emperor observes the government.
Generally speaking, it is the crown prince who communicates with the ministers in the front hall to try to manage the government, and the emperor watches in the back hall to correct the mistakes of the prince and avoid mistakes in the eyes of the court and politics.
The original crown prince Zhu Jianshen of the Jingtai Dynasty has been deposed, and together with his father Zhu Qizhen, it has completely become the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Now Zhu Di, the eldest son of Zhu Qiyu, is Zhu Jianji, who is only more than two years old, and has not yet been officially canonized as the crown prince, and he is not at the age of governance.
Therefore, the two halls before and after, Zhu Di can use them as much as he wants.
On this day, Zhu Di and Yu Qian sat in the main hall to play, Zhu Di held black, Yu Qian held white, both of them have a deep knowledge of chess, and they are difficult to solve for a while.
Yu Qian's strategic thinking is very bold and advanced, and he can often suddenly kill a surprise soldier when Zhu Di is unexpected.
After all, Zhu Di is also a battle-hardened horse god king, brave and strong, not afraid of losing, often able to put death and come back to life, and turn defeat into victory with strange moves.
Just like when he led the Yan army to appease, with hundreds of brave people in one domain, he pulled down Emperor Jianwen, who was sitting on the whole world.
The two sides faced off, and at first Yu Qian thought that he should let the emperor go, but he didn't make a dead move, because he had never heard that the emperor had learned the way of Go.
But he didn't expect that the emperor likes to be dangerous, although his chess skills are not very profound, his skills are very fast, and Yu Qian often doesn't have a good move, so he is full of passivity.
Zhu Di's attacks one after another seem to be out of order, but they can always suddenly erupt at a point that people can't imagine, running through the whole place.
Yu Qian was so tired that he didn't even bother to organize his own counterattack, and when he came to his senses, he found that it was already too late.
From the tentative concession at the beginning, to the current sweating and going all out, in the end, Yu Qian is getting more and more tired, physically and mentally exhausted, on the other hand, Zhu Di has always been that confident look.
After more than an hour, the two of them fought heartily on this small chessboard, and even the little eunuch Wang Zhi, who couldn't read chess, was secretly speechless.
Yu Qian held the white son in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and said silently: "Your Majesty is good at surprise soldiers, but his skills are not as good as others, and he loses again."
"Hahaha." Zhu Di knew that Yu Qian didn't let himself, so he ordered Wang Zhi to put away the chess pieces and said, "Today's game makes me happy!"
"The last time I felt this way was how many years ago?"
Yu Qian still didn't come back to his senses, and re-pushed the game, and suddenly said, "The minister knows, the key to the overall situation is to dig in His Majesty's seventy-eighth hand."
"This
One hand, which seems to be a waste of common sense, is a clever move to turn the tide and help the general of the building, and it is after this that the minister is completely taken away by His Majesty."
"The minister thought that His Majesty was going to seal the minister inside, so his next hand was sticky, thinking that he could fight back, but he unexpectedly fell into His Majesty's arms."
"After Your Majesty's seventy-eight hands, the minister was completely immersed in the joy of imminent victory, and only cared about the pursuit, but he never thought that His Majesty's sunspots had completely occupied the right side."
"In the end, Your Majesty single-handedly decided the situation, and a large piece of white on the right side of the minister's chessboard was wiped out in the blink of an eye......
Zhu Di was also a little surprised, and said, "Since you can see it, then I want to test you, this last game, which battle is it like?"
Hearing this, Yu Qian's eyes darkened, and he said, "Tumu Fort... Shame on you!"
"Yes, the shame of Tumubao is still unforgettable to this day, how dare I forget the national shame!" The smile on Zhu Di's face dissipated, and he said:
"In that battle, King Yi made such a mistake, and was completely led by the nose by the first step of the waste, and finally the whole army was wiped out!"
Yu Qian raised his head in a daze, looked at the Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu in front of him, and suddenly, felt that he didn't know this majesty a little.
There is such foresight, is this still the original His Royal Highness?
"In the past, that's all I said, but today I came to you to play chess, mainly to talk about the current Cao Law in this dynasty."
Zhu Di waved his hand, leaned back in his chair, and said, "You tell me, since the twenty-second year of Yongle, how have the laws of the Hongxi, Xuande, and Orthodox dynasties been changed?"
"I need to know everything, no matter how big or small."
Yu Qian also guessed why the emperor suddenly wanted to ask this, which is probably also related to the recent abolition of the Henan River Yamen, and Yu Qian supported the emperor in his heart.
Henan River Yamen, Yu Qian has been to it before, it is a place with a lot of shady scenes, and many things even Yu Qian feels unbearable.
At that time, he also scolded the group of people for eating vegetarian food and exploiting the people.
Now that the emperor is inspired to reform the Cao Law, it is too late for Yu Qian to support a hundred in his heart, so how can he oppose it?
So he said, "Your Majesty, Hongwu Nian Cao runs the sea, and it is completely up to the non-governmental organizations to collect the grain and transport the timber."
"During the Yongle period, Emperor Taizong moved the capital to Beijing and built the capital, which required a large number of materials and servants, and it was no longer possible to meet the needs of the imperial court by sea alone.
"The branch transportation law was implemented by Chen Xuan, who was the chief military officer of Caoyun at the time, and stipulated that the grain from all over the country should be transported to the four warehouses of Huai, Xu, Lin, and De nearby, and then transported by the army to Tongzhou and Beijing in sections."
"The branch transportation law transfers four times a year, and Emperor Taizong stipulated that farmers in various places participating in the transportation of grain are exempted from paying the tax grain of the current year, and the tax of the current year is exempted from transporting grain, and the freight is calculated in the branch of the grain."
"Compared with the shipping during the Hongwu period, the proportion of the Yongle Dynasty's branch transportation method and civil movement accounted for about four to fifty percent."
Zhu Di nodded, these are all things from the previous life, before he died, Zhu Di still felt that the branch method was the most effective, but now it seems that it can no longer keep up with the times.
So he asked, "Is the current Cao Fa of this dynasty still the Dharma of Branching?"
