Chapter 52 Construction Society

On the private side, it is to pull the nobles into the water.

This is He Xi's selfishness in changing the law.

There are three major political forces in the court, the first is the noble, the second is the Shilin, and the third is the clan. And with the feudal king's external seal, the influence of the clan power on the center has decreased a lot, although it cannot be said that there is no influence at all, but there is no definite influence.

There are only two major forces in the court, Xungui and Shilin.

And Shilin was completely opposed to the change.

Although He Xi tried his best to pull some people from Shilin. But on the whole, it's a drop in the bucket. He does not have an advantage.

What can I do? Pull the nobles into their chariots as much as possible.

There are pros and cons to this.

Most of the nobles actually don't have any political ideas at all, what Confucian way of governing the country, Legalist way of governing the country, sorry, people never read, don't understand this. Even the so-called Confucian generals who read books, the people who really killed from the pile of the dead, are extreme pragmatists. Don't care about this at all.

So. Give them benefits, and they will be willing to support them.

This is both a good and a bad.

Because the nobles are already at the top of the Ming food chain, only Zhu Yuanzhang can limit them.

And once Zhu Yuanzhang is gone, they want to take advantage of it, and there are too many ways. The benefits given by He Xi, that is, the benefits of legitimate management, in their eyes, are just a drop in the bucket. Work hard to make money, where is the quick way to grab money.

Don't you want to rob them?

Therefore, it is not easy for the benefits given by He Xi to bind these nobles, and even if others give higher benefits in the future. They can turn against each other at any time. Of course, this benefit will not be a monetary benefit. It's political interests.

But no matter what, now make your own people more and enemies less. It's a question that He Xi has to think about every day.

In fact, there are no big families in the north, and these so-called big families have long been washed away by the chaos of more than 200 years after the Jingkang Rebellion. What really occupies the influence is the local guards and nobles.

Pull them on the boat, and it will be more convenient for He Xi to do anything.

And the nobles are now in a state of seclusion in the court. Because of Zhu Yuanzhang's suppression, the nobles were not allowed to discuss the government. But it's hard to say in the future.

This is also a rainy day.

It's just that Deng Zhen couldn't think of He Xi's intentions, he couldn't imagine how profitable it would be, he felt that it was hard money, and he denied this thing in his heart. said: "If Lord He is interested, just directly mobilize the guards." What to build a society, you don't have to. It's a big deal, just pay the salary. ”

He Xi said: "What about these guards? ”

Deng Zhen said: "Then do what Lord He wants." I'll send someone to arrange it. Playing the Imperial Court. ”

He Xi pondered for a moment in his heart and said, "Can you start doing it now." I sent people to train the guards and start the preparatory works. ”

Deng Zhen said: "If it were someone else, it would never work. However, if you bring it up, then let's do it according to Lord He's wishes. ”

The abolition of the four guards is not a trivial matter. This is something that needs to be reported to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, to the Ministry of War, and even to Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial pen. The whole process, coupled with the distance between Beijing and Nanjing, has been running for more than half a year, which is very normal. Even if it is expedited, a month or two is considered fast.

But He Xi didn't want to delay too much time.

Because, He Xi knows that the construction of Beijing City is actually a systematic project, which requires many projects to go hand in hand and influence each other. Among them, the construction company is the main force, so the quality of these people is the most important. 33

There are a lot of new materials, new technologies, new tools to use.

If you don't train it well, it is estimated that they will not be able to get started.

Although it is said that sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters. But sharpening knives is always before chopping wood. If you can be a little earlier, you can be a little earlier.

Deng Zhen will not be embarrassed in small matters, only if it is not a matter of principle.

He Xi thanked him and didn't mention it.

At this moment, suddenly a holy decree arrived.

It was originally sent to He Xi's mansion, but there was also a letter to Deng Zhen. So the two decrees were sent here together.

He Xi and Deng Zhen got up together to receive the order.

The holy decree given to He Xi is very simple, that is, to tell He Xi that your recital is approved. Let He Xi report the budget, and the imperial court will prepare for the appropriation. That is, the Beijing construction project can officially begin.

The holy decree to Deng Zhen is to let Deng Zhen assist He Xi well and do a good job in the important matter of building Beijing City.

This invisibly gives two fixed masters and slaves. He Xi is above Deng Zhen.

------

After He Xi received the holy decree, he immediately returned to his mansion.

After reading the decree to his staff, he said, "This is also settled." By the way, where is Kuaifu Dagong? ”

Kuaifu is the most experienced craftsman in building a city in Nanjing, and He Xi also had a relationship with him back then. Now the construction of Beijing City has exhausted the world's craftsmen, and most of the skilled craftsmen in the world are near Beijing City.

This was not done by He Xi, but prepared by the prince.

After He Xi came, he also had several in-depth talks with these craftsmen and asked them to make a few plans.

In the end, He Xi still felt that Kuaifu was one of the best. So He Xi will make Kuaifu a big worker in Beijing. That is, the chief engineer. Responsible for the design of the entire city of Beijing. Of course, this is also a position where Kuaifu's hair is about to fall out.

Without him, He Xi wanted Kuaifu to give not only the design drawings, but also the construction drawings, and even the details of how many works there were in each project. And prepare to calculate the total amount of work, let the construction company contract.

However, Kuaifu has rich experience in construction, and has built many big cities in his life, but he has never done it so carefully. A lot of times, he just makes a model and lets the people above know what it looks like, and that's it.

Where is there such nitpicking.

Not to mention, it's too computational.

As a master craftsman, Kuaifu can't say that he is bad at mathematics, after all, in the construction of this science, many places need mathematical calculations. But such a large amount of computation is still beyond the scope of Kuaifu's ability.

In addition, He Xi's time is also very tight.

It's simply not a single amount of work that can be done by one person.

So He Xi pulled most of the students in the Yingkou University Hall over with an ancient brain, stuffed them into Kuaifu's subordinates, and gave Kuaifu a hand, and after the construction of Beijing City in the future, these people can be directly arranged to the Beijing government office, or other yamen.

It's also a shortcut to the south.

However, these people are also very useful, not to mention that there is no problem in taking on a lot of calculations for Kuaifu.

Hearing He Xi say this, Kuai Fu came out and said, "The little old man is here." ”

He Xi said: "Look, how is your plan?" ”

Kuaifu agreed, and then asked several tables to be put together, and his assistants moved the models one by one, and finally put them together to become a large model, that is, the style.

This is the Beijing city of the future.

On the whole, it was not unexpected.

Because the northern cities are like this, horizontal and vertical like a chessboard, the central axis is symmetrical, the palace is in the center, sitting in the north and facing south, these building rules are not broken, and Beijing City can not be changed.

However, He Xi did not change the idea of these building rules. After all, this is the consensus of almost everyone. Except in Nanjing, or the cities in the south, which are limited by the terrain and twists and turns, as long as the city can be spread out, it is like this.

He Xi didn't think about going against everyone's common ideas.

And this look, it has a kind of grandeur, and it is not bad.

However, in this way, there is less place for Kuaifu to play. But it's not for nothing. He Xi soon noticed one point, that is, Kuaifu led two rivers into the city of Beijing, crossing the entire city of Beijing, for the water intake of the entire city of Beijing, and also allowing large ships to enter the city directly. Outside the city, two lakes, East Lake and West Lake, are planned to reconcile the water volume of the canal and the Chaohe River. So as to ensure that the city of Beijing is not threatened by floods.

It was He Xi's idea, and it was very ingenious in implementation.

Some people died, but not completely......
