Chapter 143: Finally see Zhu Yuanzhang

In the city of Nanjing, there are very few things that can be hidden from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even now.

In the days after Queen Ma's death, Zhu Yuanzhang really collapsed a little, but Zhu Yuanzhang was sad and sad, but his instinctive vigilance and reason did not decrease, but increased.

I don't know if it should be said that Zhu Yuanzhang is talented? It is still Zhu Yuanzhang's occupational disease for many years, when he was fighting, he slept with one eye open, and after so many years, it was already instinctive to tense his nerves anytime and anywhere.

It has nothing to do with what kind of mood Zhu Yuanzhang has and what kind of mood he is in.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang is also hesitant now.

After the death of the crown prince, the situation in the Ming court was changing rapidly, and the complexity was several orders of magnitude higher than before.

To put it bluntly, He Xi wanted to change the law before, and the opposition caused was, in the final analysis, a debate on how to govern the country, but this issue actually does not involve the most powerful faction in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the nobles. Most of the nobles did not express their position on this, because Zhu Yuanzhang had repeatedly ordered that the nobles in the local area were not allowed to interfere in local politics, and the nobles in Beijing had no right to speak unless Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

The men were silent.

Because for them, how the imperial court governs the country has nothing to do with them in the first place. What they want to keep is their power and position. As long as the Ming Dynasty is still there, their glory and wealth are indispensable, so why worry too much.

Of course, with the deepening of He Xi's changes, these people will naturally be involved.

But not now.

This is no longer the case.

Who is the next emperor is related to the future fate of these nobles, especially Zhu Yuanzhang did one thing, in order to win over the nobles, he let his son marry the generals. At that time, it was to stabilize the future, but now it has become an important hidden danger.

If the princes are in a battle for succession, these nobles will be involved.

Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that when he closes his eyes, it is very possible that there will be smoke behind him?

Zhu Yuanzhang's first feeling was cleaning. The veterans were cleaned.

In order to remove the threat to the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that he had killed in history, and he probably had this idea. Only, now it can't be done.

Because, once he uproots the entire Xungui group, then the civil service system is dominant, and it is impossible to implement any changes, after all, the emperor may also have the whole society to move forward, after all, the interests of the emperor and the interests of the country are common in many places.

But many scholars are different, everything is under the original system, if for the better development of the Ming Dynasty, they will never be willing to overthrow everything they have and get used to everything.

This can be seen in the opposition that is rising one after another.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not ready to be ruthless, but where to start and where to be ruthless, Zhu Yuanzhang has not thought about it, however, there is one point, Zhu Yuanzhang must also admit that the succession of the crown prince may not be a good choice. But it is an acceptable choice for both the government and the opposition.

And there is no second option.

Even now, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think of who was in line with his choice? This is what Zhu Yuanzhang finds most difficult to do.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have a general context in this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't plan to see He Xi, and he didn't know what he could say when he saw him. Zhu Yuanzhang has no ideas for these things, so it is not easy to arrange He Xi's following things.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang is not sure, does He Xi need to live?

Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness, does he need to come at He Xi?

Naturally, I can't say these words to my daughter. Zhu Yuanzhang's pampering of his daughter and his thinking about whether to kill his son-in-law are not contradictory.

Princess Anqing didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang thought in her heart, but Princess Anqing still decided to speak to He Xi and said, "Father, even if you don't discuss national affairs, He Xi is also your son-in-law, and it's good to let him come over and talk about family life." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Silly boy, my family's family affairs are state affairs." However, Zhu Yuanzhang also promised Princess Anqing to let He Xi come over. After all, He Xi's perspective is different from everyone in the world, or it can bring Zhu Yuanzhang a different feeling.

In this way, He Xi came to Nanjing for more than two months before finally meeting Zhu Yuanzhang.

For the first time, He Xi deeply realized what it means to be unpredictable.

After He Xi arrived in Daming, He Xi had never been so sad to see Zhu Yuanzhang, and He Xi even regarded seeing Zhu Yuanzhang as a sparse and ordinary trivial matter, which proved that this was not a trivial matter. When He Xi was rejected many times when he asked to see Zhu Yuanzhang, many people's attitudes towards He Xi immediately changed.

Only then did He Xi know how important the label of the emperor's favored minister was to He Xi himself.

He Xi did not mention how to salute.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked He Xi to sit down, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "How has Beijing developed recently?" You're in Nanjing, so you didn't delay things in Beijing, right? ”

He Xi said: "No, everything in Beijing has been planned. Today, the Beijing Imperial Palace is being built, but there is one thing to show Your Majesty, the Imperial Palace in Beijing is made of reinforced concrete structures, especially all the beams and columns, and there is no wood. In terms of specifications, it is larger than Nanjing Fengtian Temple, and the cost is lower, but the Beijing Palace is the largest concrete building built in recent years, because of the problem of cement and steel bars, it is estimated that it will be rebuilt after several decades. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's okay, Anqing, you let the secretary and supervisor draft the holy decree, from now on, the imperial palace and the local government, if you can use reinforced concrete, you will use reinforced concrete, and you are not allowed to use cherished giant trees, and those who violate it will be beheaded." ”

He Xi immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

The technology of reinforced concrete, in He Xi's view, is not perfect. It is somewhat risky to use it on top of the palace. After all, the palace is nothing like anything else. The span of the palace is very large. It's not just reinforced concrete. There are also some engineering innovations.

The reason why He Xi wants to use it on this is that such a large building can be encountered but not sought. The place where He Xi most wants to use reinforced concrete is the bridge.

After all, there are just too many rivers.

Even in the northern plains.

Of course, since ancient times, the Han people will build bridges and pave roads, and there are even many famous bridges, which are spread in the world, Zhaozhou Bridge in the north, Lugou Bridge, Chaozhou Bridge in the south, Luoyang Bridge and so on.

But in general, there are always fewer bridges for the number of rivers in the world.

Therefore, if the reinforced concrete technology is perfected, He Xi wants to promote the construction of bridges in the north, even if some big rivers cannot be built, but some small river ditches are easy. The traffic is good, and many things are convenient.

Otherwise, you have to detour dozens of miles or hundreds of miles to have a bridge, or you have to cross the river by boat, in short, it is very troublesome.

And this matter is just a topic picked out by He Xi. It's just that he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to immediately agree to come down and vigorously promote reinforced concrete.

Although it is said that today's reinforced concrete, it is still very expensive.

Although the price of steel was lowered by He Xi, the price of this price was compared with water. Compared with before, the price of iron is low, even more than ten times lower, but what is the price of steel in the future? A bottle of water is even more expensive than the same weight of iron.

Can the price of iron that He Xi made compare with such a price? Not to mention that the price of cement is also very high.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's order, the market for cement and steel has expanded a lot. It seems to be news for He Xi.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "Where is there any wisdom or not, I think of seeing the descendants of later generations, for a few pieces of wood, cutting down mountains and opening roads, countless casualties, spending hundreds of millions, hundreds of thousands of actions, just a few broken houses, with my order, see how they are still doing nonsense?" ”

I don't know who set the rules, the beams and pillars of the palace must be made of golden silk nanmu, anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't remember that he has such an order. However, there is too much history of blood and tears around the golden silk nanmu in later generations. In order to supply the palace with golden silk nanmu, it cost not only money, but also human lives.

This is what Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear, so he simply set the rules, anyway, he also knew that industrial products would become cheaper and cheaper in the future. But the golden silk nanmu will not.

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