Chapter 16 Reasons for the Establishment of Beijing

Zhang Du said: "Naturally, I know. ”

But He Xi could see from Zhang Du's expression that Zhang Du didn't know.

He Xi sighed in his heart.

Actually, this is normal. Many people can't see the intentions of many policies. The reason why the new law is being resisted by so many people is also because many people simply don't understand why the new law is doing this, and what is the use of it other than making them uncomfortable.

Zhang Du's current move is mostly political speculation. In essence, they are also very confused about the new law.

He Xi can only teach Zhang Du a lesson, starting with industrial production.

Fortunately, Zhang Du himself was born as a small official, not a Confucian minister, and he did not take some Confucian concepts seriously. He also knows the benefits of large-scale industry, but he does not raise this feeling to the theoretical level. It's just that good. But why is it good? How can it be better? But he didn't know.

He Xi started from this point and gave Zhang Du a three-day lesson.

What problems will be encountered when the industrial production model is extended to the whole country? What are the requirements?

Three days later, He Xi saw that Zhang Du seemed to be sincerely convinced by He Xi's theory. It's just that He Xi knows that the old fritters in the officialdom, which one of them does not have the danger of mountains and rivers in his chest and the strictness of the city government in his belly. He Xi wanted to see through whether this person was really convinced or coy. Not really.

can only be regarded as Zhang Du is a real comrade.

He Xi nodded and said, "You clean up tomorrow." I will take you into the palace to see Your Majesty. ”

When Zhang Du heard this, he was so excited that he couldn't suppress it, and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

——

In the palace of the Qianqing Palace.

He Xi introduced Zhang Du to Zhu Yuanzhang and explained what he meant.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhang Du some questions and said a few words of relief. The excitement of not knowing the tension of the southeast and northwest was sent out.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "For other positions, don't you have anyone to recommend?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew that He Xi's current position was put up by him. That's why I want He Xi to cultivate more henchmen. It's just that He Xi does things, and he is still very measured. He was also worried that if he wanted too much. The person who is worried is none other than Zhu Yuanzhang.

Nanjing is not another place after all.

He Xi said: "With Your Majesty here, the minister does not need to worry about the situation in Nanjing. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said, "Slippery head." However, when you go back to Liaodong, there is also a problem. Your identity is different now, and your official position is going to be moved. But how to move, there are some troubles. ”

He Xi also understood.

He Xi's current official position is a scholar of the Ming Cabinet, a secretary, a governor of Liaodong, and a lieutenant of the horse. Among these four official positions, it is needless to say that the horse is the captain. It only indicates his status as a colt. It's not of much use.

Today's cabinet scholar is not a very high official position, and like the secretary, he is a position of high power and light official. The governor of Liaodong is very official, and it is not easy to weigh it.

If He Xi is in Beijing, this position is fine.

At most, let He Xi add Shangshu and take charge of himself.

After all, in Jingshi, official positions are not important, what matters is power.

But He Xi left Jingshi differently.

Since ancient times, it has always been the emphasis on Beijing officials and the neglect of foreign officials, and foreign officials themselves represent no power. If He Xi's official position is not promoted, how can he bear the title of Changing the Law Red Banner. Officialdom has always been a snob. He Xi returned to Liaodong with this official position, which was simply a demotion.

In the eyes of many people, it is the failure of the law change and the loss of power.

Of course, He Xi needs to do a lot of things to prove to outsiders that his holy grace is still there. But it takes a lot of work.

Instead of being so troublesome, it is better not to do things that others misunderstand in the first place. Pretending to be slapped in the face, that is the pursuit of home. Politicians don't like that. That means political turmoil. Except, of course, when they go down specifically to clean up certain forces.

It's just a nuisance. What kind of official position did He Xi give? Governor-General, Liaodong, Changchun, Goryeo, Japanese military and political affairs? Abbreviated as the Governor of the Northeast?

But the problem is that the crown prince is in Beijing, so a large part of the power under the crown prince is divided among He Xi.

Troublesome to deal with in this regard?

Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to lose the prince's face.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, and he suddenly said, "What do you think of recalling the prince?" ”

He Xi knew in his heart that the prince had always been the prince and the pride of the sky. In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, it is difficult for him to compare. He was mentally prepared for the prince's return. But now that I listen to it, there is still a trace of sourness in my heart, too fast.

It's just over here, and it's about to be called back over there.

He Xi said: "The prince is far away from the national capital, which is not a long-term strategy. The minister thought that there was no problem at all in recalling the prince. It's just a matter of Beijing, and it is necessary to start and finish well, otherwise I am afraid of hurting the name of the prince. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart moved, and he said secretly: "Why do you want to be in charge of Beijing?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment in his heart and secretly denied this idea. secretly said in his heart: "Forget it, it's not okay yet." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to promote He Xi too quickly, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to suppress He Xi, at least before he died, He Xi would not be able to contaminate the central power. Of course, Beijing is the accompanying capital, but in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang has a lot of central power in his planning for Beijing. For example, military power, financial power, judicial power, and so on.

The Beijing in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind is similar to Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty. There are a lot of central branches.

Just said that the establishment of Beijing is not just to settle the prince, but there is a practical need, Zhu Yuanzhang has been thinking about it for a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no idea about moving the capital to Beijing. But he had to admit that Beijing was important. One-third of the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty are in the north, and they are all elite soldiers. These soldiers and horses must strengthen supervision.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the Anshi Rebellion will reappear.

In particular, in the future, the strength of the border army will become even more important as the inland forces will gradually decline.

How to strengthen supervision?

Zhu Yuanzhang was the general in charge before, but in fact, the general itself represents a part of the central power. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was very cautious when choosing people. Even almost every year to two years, or even twice a year, he had to recall the incumbent general to report on his work.

In fact, I just don't feel at ease.

Xu Da is treated like this.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think that the relationship between his descendants and his courtiers could be better than the relationship between him and Xu Da, and he and Xu Da were friends in trouble. Friendship over life.

In fact, there are flaws in this system in history, and Zhu Yuanzhang's solution is to replace the minister with a vassal king. But now, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally won't use this stupid method. He thought about it, that is, to establish Beijing and form a central system to control this part of power.

Transform this power from one person into a system to be held in charge.

Zhu Yuanzhang admitted that there are actually some problems with this. But there is no problem with moving the capital to Beijing? There are problems. It's just within the scope of what can be solved. What is the greater chance of a person, a minister betraying, and a system, dozens of important ministers?

If an emperor really did such a betrayal of his relatives. No kind of institutional design is useless.

Therefore, the position of ruling Beijing, even if it is restricted, I am afraid that the power of the general of Peking University will be greater, which is another reason why the prince was sent to Beijing.

Zhu Yuanzhang also thought about whether to recall the prince at this time, he originally wanted the prince to establish this system in Beijing, but now the prince's work is far from complete. Recall the crown prince at this time? It's hard to find someone to replace the crown prince.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang has a worry in his heart, that is, the death of the prince in history.

Not far off.

Even though the prince has a top-notch medical team around him.

But today, the most abundant medical resources are none other than the hospital.

The famous doctors led by Dai Yuanli have broken through the realm of Jin Yuansi's family and promoted their medical skills to another alert, and cowpox has brought great glory to Dai Yuanli and Tai Hospital. It's the kind of food that you can't eat for a few lifetimes. It also attracted more famous doctors from all over the world to come to Tai Hospital.

Become a professor in medical school.

There are countless medical resources, countless peers, political and economic treatment, as well as patients gathered from all over the world, and all kinds of incurable diseases. How can it not grow by leaps and bounds and become the holy land of medicine in the world?

The medical team around the prince is much worse than these people.
