Chapter 185: Worship the Ancestral Tomb

In short, after this big battle. There will be significant changes in the economic structure of the Ming Dynasty. Many things that He Xi couldn't do before have become things that can be done.

What's more, He Xi can be generous to others.

To tell the truth, appease the front-line generals and give money. But how much is it appropriate to give?

It's hard to say. Even now, the currency has depreciated. But hundreds of thousands of yuan is still a lot of money. If every general is given such a family foundation, the imperial court will naturally not be able to support it.

But He Xi set these industries as a priority. It's going to be interesting. That is, even if some wealthy businessmen want to get a piece of this feast of Nanjing's wealth, they must have a ticket. This ticket is nothing else. It's the endorsement of a certain general.

Actually, how much money can be made from this depends on everyone's means.

Some people can't get much money, and they can only say that their means are problematic.

And it can't be said that the imperial court didn't give it a chance.

And in this way, it is also in line with He Xi's previous idea, so that the nobles can escort the capitalists.

He Xi's beating of Ye Shen, Ye Shen was naturally awe-inspiring.

Immediately inspected the Xuzhou Iron Works with He Xi.

Although Xuzhou Iron Works has such and such problems, but on the whole, the foundation is quite good, itself has coal and steel resources, a little expansion, will become a new steel base.

It's just that He Xi also knows that in the next few years, the entire Ming economy will probably be in a situation of surplus materials after the war.

Therefore, I don't care too much about the Xuzhou Iron Works itself.

Didn't stay in Xuzhou for a few days.

And he went south again.

After all, the biggest limitation of the speed of the Northern Army's advance to the south today is not how strong the enemy's resistance is, but the Northern Army's own logistical support and the speed of the places it has taken over.

It can be said that many places between the Yangtze River and the Huai River are now in a state of anarchy.

There are still prefectural and county officials, but it seems that they have been decoupled from Nanjing. They did not dare to resist the orders of Beijing, nor did they dare to say no to Nanjing.

It belongs to the land of two genera.

As soon as the northern army arrived, these places were immediately transformed into loyal courtiers of the Emperor of Longwu.

However, there is one thing that is most important today. That is to worship the ancestral tomb.

The ancestral tomb is the ancestral tomb of the Zhu family. Zhu Yuanzhang built it.

The competition between Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen is essentially a competition for legitimacy. So, it's important to do something about it.

After Zhu Xiongying and He Xi discussed.

A grand ceremony was held to worship the ancestral tombs, and invitations were sent to all prefectures and counties north of the Yangtze River. Ask the magistrates from all over the country to come. In fact, it also made them stand in line.

Listen to the north or the south.

However, before going to the ancestral tomb, He Xi and Zhu Xiongying still looked at Hongze Lake.

Without him, in history, hundreds of years later, the Ming Ancestral Mausoleum will be under Hongze Lake. Even in the eyes of many people, this is a sign that the Ming Dynasty is unlucky and destined to be destroyed by the Qing Dynasty.

No matter how the Ming Dynasty repaired the river. can't stop Hongze Lake from preparing to submerge the Ming Ancestral Mausoleum.

Zhu Xiongying knew this result, so he came to see Hongze Lake.

At this moment, Hongze Lake is not too big.

Historically, Hongze Lake is getting bigger and bigger. There are many reasons for this.

The first reason is that the passage of the Huai River into the sea was taken away by the Yellow River, and the sediment of the Yellow River was accumulated in the estuary, resulting in the high altitude of the estuary, and even the situation of backfilling.

The water upstream cannot be drained.

And it intensified over time.

The second reason is that the water is harnessed to attack the sand and lead the turbidity. In order to wash the waterways of the Yellow River. The water level of Hongze Lake is deliberately raised, so that the water of Hongze Lake can wash the Yellow River channel and reduce the siltation thickness of the river.

But the side effect, that is, Hung

The water level of Zehu Lake is getting higher and higher, and Gaojiayan has become the first dam in the world. But it still can't stop the flood. Sizhou was submerged.

Zhu Xiongying's thoughts are very strange.

It's even stranger than Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been researching for more than ten years, and his ideas have been able to connect with some of He Xi's ideas. Some of Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts before his death were already close to those of modern people, otherwise he would not have laid out such a big situation so decisively.

And Zhu Xiongying is different.

Zhu Xiongying is superstitious.

He actually couldn't understand a lot of what He Xi said, on the one hand, he was superstitious about what He Xi said, because many things had already been fulfilled. He couldn't help but believe it.

On the other hand, he prefers to use the ancient doctrine of destiny to explain everything in front of him.

In other words, He Xi is used by the Zhu family, which is where the Zhu family's destiny lies.

Otherwise, he didn't know how to understand He Xi's existence. Could it be that he understands what is the explanation of relativity for time travel?

Therefore, he attaches great importance to the feng shui issue of the ancestral tomb.

Today, I will take a special look here.

Discuss with He Xi about water control.

Needless to say, Zhu Xiongying has already made up his mind that everything is to solve the flood of the Huai River, and as for the canal or something, it is a secondary issue.

Actually, as long as there is this sentence. It will not be difficult to solve the water conservancy problem in the two Huai provinces.

After all, many water control problems finally reach irreparable problems, not because the people below have any problems with water control, most of them are problems with the top-level design.

The purpose of the Northern Song Dynasty's three return to the river was to distort the nature of the Yellow River's water and prevent it from flowing northward.

The problem of the two Huai is also because when it comes to water control, the canal comes first. It is necessary to keep the canal with sufficient water flow. After all, the canal is the main artery that runs through the north and south of the imperial court, and there must be no problems.

As soon as something happened to the Yellow River, it made a huge noise, rushing through the prefecture and county, causing unrest in the world. It is also connected to the canal. The Yellow River burst its banks, which is likely to make it difficult for the canal to flow smoothly.

Therefore, the canal is the first to control the water, followed by the Yellow River, and the Huai River is placed further behind.

In addition, the topography of the two Huai places. The coastline in the north of Jiangsu has not been impacted for a long time from the geological point of view, and even many places are at negative altitude.

Poor drainage is normal.

But that's all changed.

Under Zhu Xiongying's order, the highest criterion for all water control is to ensure the feng shui of the ancestral tomb.

This is a project that has a bearing on the foundation of the country. In the future, no one will dare to be careless, and the principle of water control in the future will probably be the priority of the ancestral tomb and the Huaihe River Basin. The canal is not important, because there is a railway, and there is sea in its place.

As for the Yellow River, it is important, but it is not as important as the ancestral tomb.

Even if science is promoted, these things cannot be completely replaced. After all, even if many dignitaries and nobles in later generations burned incense and worshiped Buddha, didn't they understand science?

It can only be said that human nature is like this.

Inspecting Hongze Lake is just a small episode of worshipping the ancestral tomb.

Tens of thousands of soldiers relied on it, and most of the officials north of the Yangtze River arrived in Nanzhili, or sent envoys. Zhu Xiongying met them one by one. Many of these people were outside the control of the Northern Army.

It can be seen that Nanjing's rule has collapsed.

It can be said that the ancestral tomb is sacrificed. Let the two Huai be owned by Beijing.

He Xi even called Tie Xuan over and asked them to temporarily take charge of the administration of the Lianghuai region. I was so busy for a while that I couldn't open the glue.

It's just that some people came, and naturally some people didn't come.

No one from Yangzhou City came. As if not knowing what is happening here.

Not only did Yangzhou City not come, but other places, such as Anqing, Chuzhou, and other places, also sent envoys over. And the magistrates themselves did not come, for a simple reason.

That is, Qi De has been busy building the Yangtze River defense line for a period of time. In Qi De's view, the so-called Yangtze River defense line is not based on the Yangtze River as a moat, but on the Yangtze River

Establish a complete defensive line to the north, so that the northern soldiers cannot peep into the Yangtze River.

Therefore, there are garrisons in Nanjing in these places, more or less, at least so that they dare not mess around at will.

Of course, in addition to these people, there was another person who sent an envoy. This person is none other than Ding Xian. This incident surprised He Xi. He didn't expect that Ding Xian would do such a thing.

In the process of Zhu Yunwen's ascension, Ding Xian was the one who benefited the most, and at this time, Ding Xian actually wanted to get off Zhu Yunwen's boat.
