Chapter Seventy-Six: A Successful Start
Chapter Seventy-Six: A Successful Start
But the outcome has been decided, does it mean that Xu Huizu likes He Xi?
No, it doesn't mean.
Xu Huizu even felt that many of today's problems were actually brought by He Xi.
If it weren't for He Xi's idea of changing the law, the prince would not have clashed with Zhu Yuanzhang. If there was no such thing as changing the law, Zhu Yuanzhang probably would not have sent Zhu Xiongying to Beijing.
Even from the last years of Hongwu to the present, there is already a perfect set of rhetoric in Xu Huizu's heart.
The death of the crown prince is related to the dispute over the change of law. And Taizu couldn't be sure whether the reform was good or bad, so he let Beijing be used as a pilot for the reform, and Zhu Xiongying studied nearby and waited for the whole country to be implemented in the future. This led to the split of the civil bureaucracy in Nanjing and Beijing. Zhu Yunwen has already contacted some people who oppose the change of the law. Or it is Fang Xiaoru's superiority.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen is certainly a heinous crime. But He Xi is the root of all evil.
Even if some details are ignored, Xu Huizu's judgment cannot be said to be wrong.
Xu Huizu felt that Zhu Xiongying was orthodox, and he would be loyal to Zhu Xiongying, but for He Xi, he just felt that it would be better to have no He Xi in this world. But this ambivalence does not prevent him from standing on the side of the winners. He even wanted to see if the situation in the world could be predicted.
------
Ding Xian didn't know that Yao Guangxiao was running for him.
Ding Xian came forward, and the Lu family and the Fu family would naturally agree. In addition, the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Cao came forward, and then the Duke of Yingguo was not good alone. So the whole circle of nobles agreed. Many people below agreed.
So the situation was fed back to Ding Xian.
It's not a small good, it's a big good. It's like the feeling of heaven and earth borrowing together.
It is almost like Ding Xian drew a circle in Jiangning Town, and the wealth of the whole world is concentrated in Jiangning Town.
Of course, there are a lot of problems. The biggest problem is the construction of Jiangning Town.
It is not difficult to set up a factory. But there are many things to do to build an industrial zone.
Beijing New Town itself is a major infrastructure project, and by the way, a lot of land leveling work has been done near Beijing, and roads and bridges have been built for public security. Wait a minute.
These things are also to be done in Jiangning Town. Even a lot of things are more troublesome.
For example, the flood control project needed in the south of the Yangtze River.
While in Beijing, He Xi built a large lake in the south of Beijing. It's South Lake. It became a place where the surrounding water flow converged, thus avoiding the flooding of Beijing. At the same time, it also takes on a lot of things for the construction of industrial parks. But the South is not the same as the North.
The south is mountainous and river-ridden. In particular, the Yangtze River is not far away.
Looking at the city of Nanjing as a whole, in fact, Nanjing is an irregular shape, and the reason why this is so is because the mountains and rivers have changed the city of Nanjing. In the face of these obstacles, the expansion of Nanjing City cannot but make concessions in other aspects.
And it is impossible for Nanjing to give up the place. Because if Nanjing is not backed by mountains, it means that the terrain is very low. It can be easily washed away by floods.
The same problem is the same in Jiangning Town, which is bordered by the Yangtze River to the north and mountains to the south. If you don't do a good job of flood control. Washed away by a flash flood. That's a big loss.
It's not the same as farmland.
Of course, when the water rushes through the farmland, there will naturally be a lot of losses. But the problem is that just soaking in water, not too long, the crops can still support, after all, they are all rice. But factories are different. Just take in a little water, soak it, and it's almost all over.
The whole project is very large.
It takes quite a bit of money. Even if Nanjing has mastered new construction technologies such as cement, it also needs a lot of silver taels.
Fortunately, Ding Xian still has wrists. Land acquisition in advance. Hands and feet were done on the requisitioned land. Lower the people's land requisition fees. It must be known that how good Zhu Yuanzhang is to the local people in Nanjing, as I have said before, during the Hongwu period, Nanjing has been several prefectures and counties near Nanjing, and there is almost no taxation.
Coupled with Zhu Yuanzhang's personal staring, there are almost no land annexations near Nanjing, and all large pieces of land are either owned by the guards. Either it was rewarded by the imperial court. There is no it
His.
Therefore, Ding Xian's land expropriation raised the price slightly for the people below, and the people did not dare to resist the imperial court.
Then he sold it at a high price to these nobles who were used to build factories, and made a lot of money from the middle. This amount of money, this Ding Xian did not touch his hands at all, but invested all of it in the construction of Jiangning District. It is estimated that it will take less than a year for the construction of Jiangning Industrial Zone to be successful.
Of course, Ding Xian didn't do nothing.
He only instructed his family to set up a construction company to undertake construction projects in Jiangning District, which can be regarded as learning from Beijing's prior experience.
In this way, Jiangning District is on the right track.
This made Yao Guangxiao a little disappointed, and his prediction that Nanjing would start exchanging money ahead of schedule due to economic problems was not successful. However, even so, this one thing is not far off.
-------
Originally, Jiangning Town had white walls and black tiles, and there were many rivers. It is a proper atmosphere of Jiangnan water towns in later generations, after all, the style of Jiangnan water towns in later generations was probably formed in the Ming Dynasty. But now, it doesn't exist anymore.
It was bulldozed to the ground by countless workers.
Gullies were dug out. It's all used to release water.
It can also be regarded as adapting to the climate of Jiangnan.
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen came here with more than a thousand guards.
Looking at such a scene, he turned his head to Ding Xian and said, "Ding Shoufu, you did a good job."
Ding Xian said, "It's all caused by Your Majesty's blessings."
Zhu Yunwen said, "You don't need to pat the horse, I said that you did a good job, it's true." Speaking of this, Zhu Yunwen sighed lightly and said, "If you can get the nobles to support you this time, it means that what you have done is very good. Otherwise, there would be no such situation. If I can do this, why should the northern thieves worry?"
In Zhu Yunwen's view, the south has always been strong and the north weak. The reason why we are in this situation is not because of anything else. It is precisely because of the disunity within the Nanjing court that there will be such a situation, if the Nanjing court listens to him, why will it be defeated and retreated by Beijing.
Therefore, in Zhu Yunwen's view, Ding Xian's ability to bring these people together to do things proves that Ding Xian does indeed have the talent of the first assistant.
It's just that Zhu Yunwen doesn't know that this is actually ***. If he knew about it, he didn't know how to feel.
But Ding Xian is very sober.
Although Ding Xian didn't know about him, he had a very clear understanding of the current situation, and he said: "Your Majesty, this is not the credit of the ministers, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. These people are just greedy for profit."
"Even if there are no ministers, someone else is presiding over this matter, it will be like this. However, many people in the world are like this, there are many people who are mediocre and greedy, and there are few people who are high-spirited and bright. Therefore if you want to use them, you must use them for profit."
This sentence is Ding Xian's personal experience.
"Move it with profit." Zhu Yunwen said. As he spoke, he looked at Ding Xian, thinking about Ding Xian's private wealth accumulation, but he didn't say anything. He felt in his heart that probably he had to use Ding Xian to move it.
However, as long as Ding Xian can get things done, some small money is nothing at all in Zhu Yunwen's opinion.
Zhu Yunwen asked, "How long will it take for these factories to start, and how long will it take for them to make money here?"
Ding Xian said, "The minister estimates that it will probably be next year."
According to this estimate, Ding Xian was ambushed. But not much, an industrial zone is built to put into production, there is money back. It's hard to say exactly how much time it will take. Fortunately, they are all in the textile industry, and now the cloth produced by machines is cheaper and easier to use than homespun cloth.
As long as it is produced, it is not afraid that it will not be sold.
Therefore, only the time for production commissioning is counted. It is estimated that it will be available by the end of the year.
Say that the next year is to leave room for yourself.
Zhu Yunwen sighed and said, "You are the first assistant, do you know that this matter will be delayed until next year?"
Ding Xian also knew that Nanjing's financial difficulties would not be able to wait for next year.
Although Ding Xian went on a killing spree, no
Whether it was purging Fang Xiaoru and his party, or fighting corruption, in short, he made a lot of money from the scholars, and the money went directly into the treasury. But it still can't make up for the consumption of the imperial court. Fighting a war is simply a bottomless pit. With mountains of gold and silver, it is impossible to be useful.
