Chapter 371: Return to the capital

The North China Plain did not have a seaport at this time.

The famous city of Tianjin, now called Tianjin Wei, has only been established for more than 100 years.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a good job in Tianjin Wei at this time~

Wang Hongyu took a fancy to a large area of saline-alkali land in the southwest of Weixi, Tianjin, near the south bank of the Weihe River, which the locals named Xianshuigu, and there were no people in the surrounding area for dozens of miles.

Ports and military bases are chosen not to occupy arable land, as long as the local allocation is sufficient. As for the drinking water in the future, it will be enough to dig deep wells.

Wang Hongyu has many ways to control the saline-alkali land, the simplest way is to dig a canal to control the water, and the groundwater level will be lowered after the dock of the shipyard is dug and raised, and the saline-alkali land will naturally be improved.

Of course, the training ground must be equipped with warships, and digging out the harbor to raise the land naturally solves the salinity problem; The processing workshops also need cargo ships, and they also need waterways.

The soil used to dig the waterway raises the ground to solve the salinity problem.

Meng Biao, who stayed in the capital, also went to Tianjin to inspect the rising city of the Grand Canal, and analyzed that its potential is far more than relying on the Grand Canal, and the future is not just a Tianjin Wei.

The selected port is convenient for canal, land and sea transportation, and although it is a little far from the town, it is suitable for the development of freight transportation, shipbuilding and other industries.

At this time, I heard that the White Lotus Sect in Shandong was not small, and there was already a chaotic army, and many locals fled from the canal to Beizhili by Cao boat. Wang Hongyu knew that if the rebellion was not quelled in time, it would soon spread to Beizhili.

This is also a good reason for Han Jun to be promoted over there.

In June of the second year of the Apocalypse, Wang Hongyu returned to the capital.

It has been exactly a year since I left Beijing, and the situation has changed in most of the places I have traveled since leaving Beijing.

Participating in the early court on June 10, wearing a red marquis's court dress, it was extremely majestic, and no one in the court dared to show the contempt of the past in person.

Yang Lian looked at Wang Hongyu, his expression was like an ancient well, others couldn't see what he was thinking at all, only knew that Yang Lian was extremely calm, thinking that he was fearless and confident.

In fact, he knew that the trinity of Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian and Wang Hongyu was in one, and it was difficult to limit the power of the Donglin Party.

The best strategy now is to pretend to be cowardly, and then look for an opportunity to strike back suddenly.

Yang Lian is by no means the kind of person who will admit it, and in history, he knew that he would die to impeach Wei Zhongxian.

But now, Ye Xianggao is still in the position of first assistant.

For the vast number of Donglin, this is equivalent to not being torn.

And Ye Xianggao is the key person who can brake Yang Lian's car and calm the scene.

Wang Hongyu glanced at Ye Xianggao, the head of civil officials.

Not bad.

The fact that the imperial court did not raise a group to impeach himself shows that he has been able to stabilize the situation for the time being.

In history, Ye Xianggao, as a periphery of Donglin, watched the struggle between Donglin and the eunuch party become more and more intense, coupled with the battle of Guangning, his student Wang Huazhen made a big mistake, Ye Xianggao simply resigned and left to avoid the whirlpool.

Ye Xianggao saw that Dingyuan Hou was looking at him, and bowed slightly.

The two also have a tacit understanding, that is, the tacit understanding that makes the court stable and not chaotic.

The cabinet is followed by the six ministries, and the head of the six ministries, the official department of the old heaven, is Zou Yuanbiao.

Wang Hongyu saluted Zou Yuanbiao slightly, but Zou Yuanbiao sighed slightly before returning the salute.

Hehe, he must have felt choked by me. My granddaughters have all run away from me, and the students have followed me, and even in the court, they owe me favors.

It's just that he is still a stubborn old man, and he definitely doesn't want to be polite to his martial artist.

Walking past him, Zou Yuanbiao took a step forward and whispered: "Dingyuan Hou, I don't know if you are interested in taking the imperial examination." ”

"Imperial Examination ......"

"That's right, just like Xiong Tingbi, both civil and military people are raised, so that they can serve the public on both sides of the civil and military sides."

Zou Yuan's slogan is serious, and it seems that he is really thinking about himself.

"Mr. Xie Nangao, I also have this plan, but I want to be an academician first, and then consider the imperial examination."

"Academician?" Zou Yuanbiao was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered that Nangao Academy had sent a message to him that it was the highest position in the Southwest United Academy, although it also involved some classics, but it was more focused on learning and technology.

Although academicians are also useful, how can the imperial examination be important?

He was a little angry, but when he thought about it, this person advocated practical learning, which was much better than other martial artists, and he didn't refuse the imperial examination, so it was just that.

That's it, this kind of young man doesn't obey discipline anyway.

"Mr. Nangao, in the first half of his life, he hoped to pay tribute to Wang Yangming and explore esoteric philosophy and learning, so he hoped to become an academician first, not the imperial examination first." Wang Hongyu gave another example that Zou Yuanbiao is very familiar with.

"Wang Yangming? Mr. Yang Ming also took the imperial examination first, and then went to enlightenment. Zou Yuanbiao shook his head.

"Therefore, I first revitalize the Southwest and Yangming Studies, and encourage the innovation and further development of all schools of Wang Studies, so as to pay tribute to Mr. Wang Yangming."

"Winter! Winter! Winter! ”

The third drum on the noon gate sounded, and the ministers lined up in order.

"Well, you guys really know how to talk, that's it." Zou Yuanbiao chatted for a few words and returned to the civil service team to stand up.

Wang Hongyu also walked to the ranks of martial artists, only behind the British Duke Zhang Weixian and Cheng Guo Duke Zhu Chunchen.

Zhu Chunchen was still relatively young at this time, and he was a little unconvinced to see that Wang Hongyu was younger.

He half-turned around and didn't look at Wang Hongyu and said: "Marquis Dingyuan, the first time you are a martial artist, you don't know much about the rules and origins of martial arts, right?" In the future, study with me and the British Father. ”

Wang Hongyu smiled: "I am indeed learning the deeds and spirit of the Battle of Jingyan, at that time, the prestige of Wuxun was famous all over the world, but unfortunately today's enemy does not know the legacy of Jingyan, and only knows the name of the nine sides." ”

"Hmph~" Zhu Chunchen was a little angry, this Wang Hongyu was clearly saying that his reputation was above the nine sides, and the nine sides were above the Jingnan martial arts, which meant that the Chengguo Mansion had no merits for so many years.

He wanted to turn around and question, but was stopped by the British public Zhang Weixian.

Zhang Weixian is older, and he is an important minister of Wanli and Taichang twice, and he can also be regarded as a meritorious person for Zhu Youxiao's accession to the throne of Tianqi.

Coupled with the fact that the first martial artist and he has a wide range of friends, everyone is more convinced of him.

Zhang Weixian half-turned around and clenched his fists slightly at Wang Hongyu: "The great victory of Dingyuan Hou in the southwest, completely quelling the threat of Tusi, has indeed made my Ming martial arts famous." ”

Wang Hongyu slightly clenched his fists and replied politely: "A certain in the southwest, especially looking forward to my Ming can re-dominate Annan, the former British Gong Zhang Fu went deep into Annan, with fewer enemies and more, repelled the elephant array, and broke the enemy's deeds, a certain was very excited after hearing about it, and looked forward to me waiting for Wuxun to go down to Annan again." ”

This is the deeds of the British public Zhang Fu back then, listening to Wang Hongyu's praise, Zhang Weixian of course wanted to return the salute and thank him, and then said politely: "I hope that we will wait for the martial arts to encourage the Ming Dynasty to usher in another Zhongxing." ”

"Certainly." Wang Hongyu replied solemnly.

"Smack!"

With the crisp sound of the whip, the civil and military officials officially entered the noon gate, and the morning dynasty was about to begin.
