Three points of natural disasters and seven points of man-made disasters. The Emperor had already made his judgment and was more confident in surviving the catastrophe, but he did not neglect to slacken.

Stabilizing people's minds in the disaster area is the first priority, just as in later generations, the government often issued notices such as "so-and-so materials are fully stocked, citizens do not need to panic, do not need to rush to stockpile" and other reassuring notices.

In a society like this, where information transmission is slow and the education level of the people is low, grassroots officials need to do more work to reassure the people.

In history, whenever there is a catastrophe and chaos, there are always some people with ulterior motives who create rumors and cause chaos among the common people.

In this regard, the emperor has ordered the Dongchang, the Inspectorate and the local government to pay attention to it, and if it finds signs, it will be strictly investigated and punished.

Although a large number of ruffians and hooligans were exiled by their families during the crackdown. But Diao Min will always be there, and the bad guys will not be extinct.

How the emperor did not know that he was "overkill", but it was obviously more important to use the power of the feudal emperor to stabilize the Ming as soon as possible.

As for the existing laws, the emperor tried not to trample on them. And the emperor is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, and it is also his privilege to decide life and death with one word.

It's all for the country, for the people. Whenever the emperor thought of this, he would comfort himself with such excuses.

When the emperor saw that Daming was really thriving, and the people in the catastrophe could still eat, he felt that everything was worth it.

Lifting the curtain of the car window, the emperor looked at the brightly lit shops on both sides of the street, and pursed the corners of his mouth slightly.

Chiaki Festival, their own birthday. The specifications are higher than in previous years, so it is not extravagant and wasteful, and it is still money pulled from the internal funds.

Many merchants decorate at their own expense, and like later generations, every holiday is a time when business is booming. Seize the opportunity to engage in promotions, and you can make a lot more, and the cost of colorful silk lanterns is nothing at all.

Counting with his fingers, compared with later generations, the statutory holidays of the Ming Dynasty are still too few.

The Emperor pondered, and felt that it was necessary to add a few more. For example, traditional festivals such as Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival can relax the courtiers and people, and can also stimulate the economy.

Well, the windows of many shops are made of glass, and many of the lanterns are also made of glass, which is the change.

Seeing the big from the small, the emperor also noticed the cleanliness of the streets and the placement of garbage bins, and showed a satisfied smile.

The carriage passed through the noon gate, and the emperor saw the stage being built.

The emperor paid for the song and dance troupe and the opera troupe to build three stages, and invited the people to enjoy them for free. There are also small opera troupes invited by merchants in the capital, which perform for free for promotion.

Peace and prosperity?!

The emperor didn't think so, but for the common people, it was indeed the most reassuring of people's hearts.

"Emperor-" The carriage stopped, and Wang Tiqian didily opened the door and stretched out his arm.

The emperor nodded, helped him, and got out of the carriage, which was already the Qianqing Palace.

The roads inside the palace have been renovated to allow for horse-drawn carriages. The emperor really didn't like to sit on a chariot, and he didn't like to sit in a sedan chair.

After the introduction of the new carriage, the emperor rewarded several important ministers and criticized the tradition of "civil officials sitting in sedan chairs" in the newspapers.

If there is something good at the top, it must be done at the bottom.

Since the emperor doesn't like it, then don't sit down. Comfort is small, promotion is big. As a result, horse-drawn carriages became the first choice for officials to ride, and there was no shame in riding horses if they could not afford them.

The key is that the weak scholars and officials who can't lift their hands or carry them on their shoulders have always been disliked by the emperor. I can't do it for this little thing, so that the emperor will feel guilty and affect his future promotion.

"The Emperor." Lao Wei, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed, "Slave and maid knock to see the emperor." ”

The emperor nodded, and said kindly, "Get up!" ”

Old Wei finished kowtowing, got up and followed the emperor and entered the main hall.

The emperor sat down in the throne and waved his hand to order the palace people to move a seat for Lao Wei. Although it is not unusual, Lao Wei's appearance of sincere fear and gratitude to Dade every time makes the emperor feel comfortable.

Lao Wei presented the reported documents, and then sat on the embroidery pier carefully, not even half of his buttocks, and even the emperor admired that he could sit firmly.

The Emperor briefly flipped through it, put the document on the imperial case, lowered his eyes, and pondered.

Many dynasties in history had multiple capitals, such as Haojing and Luoyi in the Western Zhou Dynasty; Luoyang and Chang'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (Xijing worships ancestors); Chang'an (Daxingcheng), Dongdu (Luoyang) and so on in the Sui Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were Beijing (Beiping Mansion), Nanjing (Yingtianfu), and Zhongdu (Fengyang), which were not the first and were nothing.

But most of the accompaniments of other dynasties were symbolic or ancestral sacrifices. But Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty had a complete set of central administrative organs.

Moreover, Nanjing is an idle yamen, which is generally a place where party struggles have failed or marginalized officials are degraded, and they are usually in charge of the affairs of a province directly under the southern government.

As a result, the officials of the Beijing Division worked a lot and were busy enough. The officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing should drink tea and tea, and they should skip shifts.

This is the situation that makes the emperor question whether there is a need for the administrative organs of Nanjing, and whether those good and leisurely officials, white-collar workers, should be abolished.

There was such a thought, and the emperor did not immediately reveal it. Instead, let Dongchang secretly investigate and grasp detailed information.

Because the abolition of the two-capital-one-capital system and the ancestral system were involved, the emperor should be relatively cautious.

Nanjing is the capital set up by Taizu, and it is inconvenient to abolish it; Beijing was moved to the capital by Chengzu to strengthen the military restraint in the north; And the ancestors' mausoleum is in Fengyang, and there is a need for sacrifices.

Of course, Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch of Nanjing sent by Emperor Qin, was in charge of the newly trained Nanjing garrison, and as long as the holy decree was issued, no one dared to make trouble, and he could not make trouble.

It's just that the emperor feels that if he can solve it steadily, he doesn't have to be too rough and tough.

It is not good to dismiss the officials in Nanjing who have retreated to the second line and are waiting to retire for retirement, so we must always give them a chance to see if they can be used.

The name of the capital can be retained, and it can be used for sacrifices. In this way, it should be possible to reduce resistance and criticism.

The emperor made a decision in his heart and was ready to hand over the matter to the cabinet and the six ministries. There is no need to do anything secretly, come to a performance appraisal, come to an agency merger, and it can almost be solved.

"Wei Ban, well done." The emperor finished thinking, smiled, and said: "Fangzhenghua is not bad, and it should be rewarded." ”

Lao Wei hurriedly bowed down and said humbly: "The work of slaves, maids, dogs and horses, I am really afraid that I can be appreciated by the emperor." ”

The emperor smiled and expressed his appreciation, and said slowly: "Dongchang has developed very well, and the eyeliner is dense, so that my ears and eyes are clear, and I can understand the situation in various places, and I will not be blinded, which is also the work of Wei Ban." ”

Raising his hand to stop Lao Wei's continued humility, the emperor's face became serious, Lao Wei was aware of the opportunity, and hurriedly got up and stood up respectfully, waiting for orders.
