Chapter 137: Huang Zicheng's thoughts

Ding Xian gave Huang Zicheng a way. If Huang Zicheng can take the Nanjing ministers as the representative of the future imperial court, then Huang Zicheng will have a place above the imperial court in the future.

Don't underestimate your vassals.

Even if Beijing pacifies the world, as long as it wants to alleviate resistance, it will definitely give preferential treatment to its vassals. At least a part of the subordinates is preferential. After all, the Nanjing Imperial Court was the original center of the Ming Dynasty, although it had gone through a lot of tosses, but it was not without talents.

Whatever the reason, some placement should be given.

This is also a considerable opportunity for Huang Zicheng.

Huang Zicheng hesitated for a moment.

Because he knew that to seize this opportunity, he had to cooperate with Ding Xian. Otherwise, without Ding Xian's support, it would be difficult for him to reach the position he wanted.

Huang Zicheng said, "What do you want?"

Ding Xian's heart moved, and he secretly said, "I've taken the bait."

Ding Xian knew very well that he was not welcomed in Beijing. He needed a ladder to get through. And Huang Zicheng is the best ladder he found. Let's get through it first, and then take your time when it comes to other things.

Ding Xian believed in his own means.

Even Ding Xian is ready to lie dormant for a long time in the future. Anyway, he is still young, and there is still time to wait in the future, Jiang Taigong was eighty years old before he came out.

He will hold Huang Zicheng in the future, and wait for some of the current things to be forgotten. There will definitely be opportunities in the future.

Anyway, no matter how hard it is now, it can't compare to when he was reduced to being a printer.

What he has is patience.

Ding Xian said, "What don't you do? Or in the presence of Your Majesty, you know what to do."

-------

Sure enough, in front of Zhu Yunwen, he knew what to do.

Zhu Yunwen asked Ding Xian about his plan. Can it be done?

Huang Zicheng wanted to tell Zhu Yunwen at that time, what kind of bad idea was this.

Isn't this the way to die?

But Huang Zicheng pondered for a moment, and then shook his head secretly in his heart, because he knew that in his opinion, Nanjing's general affairs had come to a dead end. He is an old man who has followed He Xi, and he understands very well that the Beijing court and the Nanjing court are fundamentally different.

The Beijing Imperial Court is a modern government, and the reason why it cannot be said to be modern is that in many respects it has inherited the original elements of the Ming Dynasty and is in the stage of transition from ancient to modern. And the Nanjing court is essentially an ancient court.

The Beijing imperial court was as involved in all economic aspects as possible, so much so that a central government numbered tens of thousands of people, and it was said that there were not enough people. As an ancient imperial court, the Nanjing Imperial Court is essentially a maintenance government, whether it is in many institutions in Nanjing, but in terms of personnel capabilities, it is simply a fool's dream that they want to do what the Beijing Imperial Court can do.

It's like grafting the wings of an eagle onto a rabbit, as if a rabbit could fly.

In Huang Zicheng's view, the chances of winning the battle between the north and the south are to start the war, at all costs, strive to advance north, no matter what kind of situation it encounters, it cannot stop the attack, and win before Beijing's complete transformation.

Now, the gap between the two sides is too big, and Nanjing is so sick that no matter how much it tosses, it is gone.

Unable to return to the sky.

Ding Xian's idea is terrible.

But without Ding Xian's idea, how should this mess be cleaned up? Huang Zicheng felt a headache.

If there were no words before Ding Xian, Huang Zicheng naturally had no other thoughts, just prevaricating the past. But now Huang Zicheng felt that he should say something.

Huang Zicheng said, "Your Majesty, Ding Xian's idea is good. However, beyond the ability of the imperial court, it is impossible to do this with the ability of the imperial court. However, the imperial court should reduce the control area, and only control some key industries for the imperial court, such as saltpeter, iron ore, coal mines, sulfur, grain, cotton and other minerals, and other things can be put aside first, and the first thing to ensure is that the situation on the front line does not collapse."

Huang Zicheng's passage essentially suggested that the Nanjing court should exploit various industries.

Actually, this is also

It is inevitable.

The biggest difference between the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

After five generations of chaotic wars in the Song Dynasty, it expanded its financial resources at all costs, that is, the industries that made money from the people, almost all of them were in the imperial court, and everything you could think of that could make money was the industry of the imperial court.

In order to support military supplies, it is simply at all costs.

Starting with salt and iron, to wine, real estate, medicinal herbs, tea, and so on.

In fact, the same as Huang Zicheng's suggestion, don't care about new and old banknotes, directly control the industry, and incorporate one industry after another into the government's management, no matter what the means. It is necessary for the government to operate, or only to have experience in the government's concession, and to hand over the excess profits to the imperial court.

The two are similar.

And Zhu Yuanzhang started from the people and has special feelings for the people. Therefore, these industries that compete with the people for profits have all been eliminated, and there are not even many domestic barriers.

This is also the fact that the commercial tax of the Song Dynasty accounted for more than half of the imperial court revenue, but in essence, the commerce of the Ming Dynasty was far more developed than that of the Song Dynasty.

The solution given by Huang Zicheng coincided with the policy of the Song Dynasty.

Whether it is suitable or not, Huang Zicheng doesn't know, and it is generally more suitable than Ding Xian's faint move.

It's just that this is completely contrary to Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention of loving the people.

At this moment, this is not important for the Nanjing court.

Zhu Yunwen said, "Okay. He is a genius in the world. Are you willing to go out of the mountains to assist me?"

Zhu Yunwen still has insight, and after a little pondering, he knew that Huang Zicheng's method was easier to operate than Ding Xian.

Zhu Yunwen didn't know Huang Zicheng on the first day. Even he knew that Ding Xian secretly had Huang Zicheng's wisdom in many things before this. But Zhu Yunwen ignored Huang Zicheng.

Without him, it was because of the relationship between Huang Zicheng and He Xi that Zhu Yunwen felt uncomfortable.

Now, he doesn't care anymore.

Huang Zicheng said: "Your Majesty, although the minister is willing to serve Your Majesty, the relationship between the minister and Beijing is really difficult to convince the people of the world. I beg your majesty to retract your order."

Zhu Yunwen looked at Huang Zicheng, hesitated for a while, and did not force it.

Seeing Huang Zicheng like this, Ding Xian also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, if Huang Zicheng is willing to replace Ding Xian, it is really possible. Huang Zicheng's attainments in new learning are far better than Ding Xian.

And Huang Zicheng's foundation is also better than Ding Xian's. Don't look at Ding Xian's high position, but in fact, there are not many people in Ding Xian's entrainment. But Huang Zicheng is different, Huang Zicheng's position in the Guozijian system is not comparable to ordinary people. And Guozijian has been monopolized by the He Xi faction for a long time, and Yang Shiqi is now a scholar, but in front of Huang Zicheng, he doesn't dare to be too tough.

After the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Guozijian has always been the main force of Ming officials, and this layer of relationship is there, and now most officials in the officialdom can be in the same system with Huang Zicheng. Huang Zicheng is considered a senior brother.

Huang Zicheng is willing that it will be easier for him to form a team than Ding Xian.

And Ding Xian attaches great importance to the position of the first assistant, after all, without the position of the first assistant, even if he surrenders, he will not be taken seriously.

But in any case, the mess in Nanjing caused Nanjing to be unable to do anything for a long time.

Ding Xian didn't even have the energy to investigate the people behind this matter. Although he knew that behind this incident, there must be someone organizing. It's just that it doesn't make sense anymore.

He has chosen to abandon Nanjing completely. And contacts with Beijing.

------

"Okay." He Xi couldn't help but say.

By the time the news of Nanjing came, it was already the spring of the third year of Longwu. On the whole, Nanjing's new banknotes have depreciated nearly five times, and in just one or two months, there has been such a big drop.

It dealt a devastating blow to Nanjing's economy.

The Suzhou Rebellion had already been quelled and revived, after all, such a degree of depreciation would cause great harm to the people. Many people are desperate and take risks.

In this case, Nanjing Jingying can only involve the Jiangnan region and cannot come back for a long time

。

It can be said that the current situation in Nanjing, not to mention the organization of any kind of attack, even retreat, or even large-scale troop mobilization, may not be feasible.

After all, the first thing to do is to stabilize the morale of the army and not let the army mutiny or defect because of the issue of military salaries. And then on the rest, that is,

Today, Nanjing has been paralyzed in a few months and six months.

It's a good time to attack.
