204 Term of office ended

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, there was a row of houses, of which the one directly opposite was very large, completely the size of an ordinary palace.

In terms of overall style, it is a more rugged kind. However, it is indeed a palace, and it is all cement houses.

At this time, Zhang Yifan introduced Zhu Yuanzhang: "The front hall can be used for the father's deliberations, the back is the father's temporary resting place, and the barracks on both sides are ......

Basically, it is built according to the function of the emperor's palace, and generally speaking, it must be time-consuming and laborious to repair.

However, because the construction team of Xiangshan County has rich experience in building cement houses, and in the process of construction in the past few years, cement prefabricated panels have been used, so the speed of building houses is very fast.

Zhu Yuanzhang's conference hall is the conference room pattern built by the engineering team before, and the house in the back is a three-entry courtyard pattern, as for the barracks on both sides, it is even simpler, it is the kind of large house.

All these houses have been built by the engineering team with experience and familiarity.

However, this kind of cement house was built temporarily, and it must not be refined and beautified, even if Xiangshan County basically has flowers all year round, and wants to transplant it to decorate the garden, etc., because the time is too tight, it is a little sparse, and it does not look like the emperor's place at all.

It can only be said that the palace in Xiangshan County is available, and the soft decoration inside ensures Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom, as for the rest, it is worse.

This is also because there is a strong demand for new housing construction in Xiangshan County, so there are many furniture, bedding and other supporting stores related to the construction of new houses.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to do it so quickly.

Zhang Yifan explained in advance that it was not modest, but that he would not turn back and find trouble in the matter of receiving the emperor, so he deliberately emphasized that it was too late to make time.

It was precisely when he said this that greatly lowered everyone's expectations, including Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, this is indeed a fact, in such a short period of time, according to their understanding, there must not be a palace.

As a result, when I arrived at the place, I saw that Xiangshan County not only made a palace, but also looked good, and this time, I was immediately shocked.

In that case, who cares about some details?

No, after Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, he immediately visited this palace. Along the way, they were full of praise, and it was almost a miracle: "I really didn't expect it, the speed of this construction is really too fast!"

Zhang Yifan, who followed him, listened to it, and introduced one of the advantages of building a house with cement, which is fast. Of course, the proficiency of the engineering team is also indispensable.

Listening to his words, Zhu Yuanzhang has a little more understanding of cement.

Suddenly, he asked Zhang Yifan with great interest, "How much did it cost to build this palace?"

Zhang Yifan listened, thought for a moment, and then replied, "It probably cost more than 50,000!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was stunned again. When I built the Forbidden City Palace in Nanjing two years ago, I spent millions of dollars, and in such a comparison, the cost of this palace can be ignored, which is very unbelievable!

Seeing the expressions of Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, Zhang Yifan hurriedly explained: "Father, please see, this pillar is first pierced with a steel stick to make a skeleton, then poured concrete, and the outer layer is brushed with cement and lime. Of course, this is actually stronger than a wooden pillar, and it is more resistant to fire, and it is not easy to decay!"

The pillars of the palace in Nanjing, they all have to go to the deep mountains to find trees that are thick enough, and then cut down and transport them out of the mountains, and then transport them to Nanjing by waterway, dry and take care of them, and finally they can be used, and the cost is certainly not comparable to the cement pillars.

Even in the late Ming Dynasty, the Jiajing Dynasty rebuilt the palace burned by fire, and the pillars were cut down from the deep mountains, transported downstream along the Yangtze River, and then transported to Beijing through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which cost more than how much silver it cost to build a palace in Nanjing.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhang Yifan's introduction, he couldn't help but step forward and touch the cement pillar, and then patted it hard, and finally said with emotion: "Yifan, your cement, it's really true

It's a national treasure!"

He used the words "true, true" to describe it, and it is only when he feels that he has reached an extreme.

The place where he lives must be good, but if he can live better without having to work hard and lose money, then of course he is willing.

No, when he saw that he was emotional, he turned to his princes and sons, and said to them, "Your palaces are also made of cement."

Just last year, that is, on July 15, the 11th year of Hongwu, the Ministry of Industry requested that the Jin Mansion prevail, and Zhu Yuanzhang approved it. its regulation; The surrounding area is three hundred and nine steps and five inches, one hundred and fifty zhang and two inches and five minutes from east to west, and one hundred and ninety-seven zhang and two inches and five minutes from north to south.

King Qin and King Jin were originally vassal states in the eleventh year of Hongwu, but because Zhu Di was promising, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the other sons were not good enough, so he continued to stay by his side to teach. History has changed, and all the princes have not yet become vassals, and this time they also came to Xiangshan County.

Zhang Yifan's introduction to Zhu Yuanzhang just now, these princes all heard it. For them, whether they save money or not, just cement construction, which is stronger and more fireproof, just these two points, they are willing.

Therefore, after hearing this, they all agreed one by one.

With this cement palace to build, not only can it be built better, but also can save a lot of manpower, material resources and money, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood became very good, so he turned to the civil and military officials behind him and said: "Settle down today, tomorrow will start for three consecutive days, Qing and the others will walk around Xiangshan County in casual clothes, remember, you must not expose your identity, and you must not violate the law and discipline!"

Civil and Military Officials: "......"

Good guy, with this will of the emperor, the streets of Xiangshan County will be lively in the next few days.

But they also understood what the emperor meant: didn't they question the political achievements of Xiangshan County? Then when you get to the place, let's go and see clearly. As for casual clothes, it is also necessary to let them know the truth as much as possible.

However, the people of Xiangshan County knew that they had arrived, and as soon as they heard the accent, they knew that they were from Beijing, at least from the north, and they might be the officials who accompanied them this time.

It's a bit hard to imagine what the next three days will be like?

Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care about this, the dinner he settles down is to eat together as a family, no matter how he reunites after a long absence, he is happy.

When the emperor came, there was still a curfew. But when the next day begins, on the emperor's palace, except for the Jinyi guard and Lan Yu's subordinates standing guard to protect it, martial law will be lifted in other places, and the people will do whatever they want.

Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in the palace to rest, and listened to Zhang Yifan and Zhu Jingjing tell them about the specific situation in Xiangshan County. In particular, I looked through the account books of Zhu Jingjing in Xiangshan County over the past three years to understand in detail the economic operation.

The other civil and military officials changed into civilian clothes, took a few soldiers in civilian clothes, and started a three-day tour of Xiangshan County.

According to their different interests, the things they choose to check first are naturally different. However, from time to time, acquaintances can be met.

Although it is said that more than half of the population of about 500,000 people in Xiangshan County is here in the county seat, these people from Beijing are too special. Even in the crowd, you can recognize it at once.

However, the people of Xiangshan County will not ask which adult it is, even if they are entertained, they will be cautious when questioning.

On the third day, Zhu Yuanzhang, accompanied by Zhang Yifan, visited Qianzhuang, county school and social science.

Qianzhuang is the heart of Xiangshan County's economic take-off, and education is a measure related to the future, and he attaches the most importance to these two things.

On the fourth day, in the main hall of the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang held a pre-imperial meeting.

This hall is actually not big, and the accompanying civil and military officials, royal relatives and nobles are all crowded together.

Even if Zhang Yifan arranged a number of windmills loaded with ice cubes around him, making people shake the handles to blow cool breezes, it still looked a little hot.

However, at this time, no one cares about this. Because they all know that the next imperial meeting is very important for the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at so many courtiers below, and spoke, "Three days,

Presumably, Zhuqing probably knows about Xiangshan County, right? Let's talk about it, I listen, if there are any measures to harm the people, and any exaggerated political achievements, tell me!"

Hearing this, although there were many people in the hall, they seemed silent, including Hu Weiyong, everyone spoke.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, he asked again: "I have given Qing and others a chance, if there is no opinion, then I will refer to Xiangshan County and do something that benefits the country and the people."

After he said this, his voice raised a point, and his tone became a little more majestic.

Zhu Yuanzhang's tendency is obvious, he has said that he wants to do things that benefit the country and the people, which is to characterize things. If anyone is against it, it is a female minister, and she is unwilling to do things that benefit the country and the people.

There is no doubt about the current situation in Xiangshan County and the shock to these civil and military officials. Even if he said anything about sucking the blood of the surrounding places, it is not enough to prove that all this in Xiangshan County will become useless because he does not suck the blood of the surrounding places.

Not to mention, during their three-day visit, they had already seen that it was impossible for the emperor's will to let other places assist in helping Xiangshan County become so prosperous. It is the interests that will attract the population and money from the surrounding places to Xiangshan County.

In the position of serving the country and the people, it can be said without a doubt that the success of Xiangshan County is definitely the golden key to solving the problem that the people of Daming can live better and Daming will become stronger.

However, if you change to the position of one family name, it may not be good. For example, Xiangshan County's grain land is distributed to the public.

But at this moment, who dares to say this in front of the emperor?

Is the interests of your family and surname more important, or are the interests of the emperor Zhu family more important?

The emperor in front of him was killed in the sea of corpses and blood, and it seems that killing a few more is not a problem at all.

Therefore, no one dared to speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly glanced at them, and then said in a categorical tone, "The household registration reform and the law on the distribution of grain land to the public are the basis for Xiangshan County to have such success, and I have decided that these two laws should be implemented throughout the world as soon as possible, and the fields that were rewarded before, whether it is the emperor or others, as long as they are within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, no private land is allowed, and they must be sold to the government at the price."

In the past, he rewarded the heroes with a lot of grain fields, and even the corresponding tenants. At this time, it was specifically pointed out, emphasizing that there was no private land in the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, the royal relatives and nobles actually still had a fluke mentality, thinking that the emperor would slap himself in the face and go back to the grain fields that were rewarded?

As a result, I didn't expect that for the sake of the stability of the Zhu family, Zhu Yuanzhang announced this decision without hesitation, which disappointed those royal relatives and nobles.

However, it is obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang obviously understands how to control people's hearts, and after a stick, he immediately gave sweet dates.

After listening to him soften his tone, he looked at the courtiers below and said, "One of the cores of Xiangshan County's development is so good, and that money village is the village. I looked at the account books, and found that the most profitable of the Xiangshan County government was this money bank. Here's some data, I've written it down, so you can listen to it."

When the eunuch Wu Cheng heard this, he immediately stepped forward with the three-year data of Qianzhuang prepared in advance, and read it in a tone of frustration with the unique voice of a eunuch.

To be honest, the benefits of Qian Zhuang are not recognized by the vast majority of people in this era. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Qianzhuang to take shape in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and the middle and late Manchu Qing Dynasty.

This money village in Xiangshan County, but Zhang Yifan uses modern concepts to run it, and uses other people's money to make money for himself, making his original money village with only 10,000 yuan principal suddenly run into a behemoth.

Whether it is Deng Yu, the guardian of the country whose talent for fighting is at the top, or the capable man of the Ming Dynasty, Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, they all can't imagine that Qianzhuang will make so much money!

Compared with those who do business, no matter what kind of business they do, this method of making money with money is the real profit.

Listening to the group of data read by Wu Cheng, all of a sudden, everyone in the hall was stunned.

What kind of brain is that,

How can you come up with such a lucrative idea?

After Wu Cheng finished retiring, he saw a smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and announced in public: "I have decided to set up a money bank in Jingshi, and the principal of its preparation is allowed to be subscribed by Zhuqing. At that time, the selling price of Zhuqing's respective grain fields will be converted into it. At the end of each year, dividends will be distributed according to the shares according to Yifan's proposal. As long as the Ming Dynasty exists, the descendants of Zhuqing will also be able to receive this money!"

As soon as he heard this, suddenly, even in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, the officials in the hall immediately turned their heads and ears excitedly, and there was a buzz in the hall.

Why did they buy grain fields? Isn't it just to be passed on to children and grandchildren, so that they can have no worries about food and clothing?

And now, the emperor announced that the dividends of this money bank can also be left to the children and grandchildren, doesn't it also ensure that the children and grandchildren have no worries about food and clothing?

Originally, they were all worried that the grain field would be gone, and they didn't dare to resist because of the emperor's ***. But all of a sudden, the peaks and loops turned around, and there were even greater benefits, how could you not be excited, how could you not be excited?

In the case of grain fields, every year I have to worry that God will not be able to open his eyes, whether he will appreciate his face, and there will always be a time when the grain harvest will fail.

However, this bank, judging from the data of the money bank just announced, is a year to earn more money than a year, and they don't need to spend a little energy, this is simply a bottomless vault, and they can get money out every year!

Of course, in the past three days, most of them have naturally visited the money bank, and they have heard others talk about this money bank, and they don't just believe it because they heard the emperor release the data.

Zhu Yuanzhang's sweet jujube is really big enough and sweet enough, not only did he wash away the unwillingness of the previous stick at once, but he couldn't wait for why he didn't have more private land in his house, and he could sell more to the government.

Some people even had the audacity to ask in the crowd, "Your Majesty, can the ministers pay another amount for the principal of this money?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhu Yuanzhang expectantly, not knowing how he would reply?

Zhu Yuanzhang has already heard Zhang Yifan explain that the more principal a bank has, the stronger its ability to drive the economy, which is good for the country. Therefore, he said happily, "Qing and the others are all my love, how can I refuse?"

As soon as he heard this, there was a sudden roar in the hall, and then the mountain shouted long live!

They don't know that the most important thing in the matter of dividends is the proportion of shares, no matter how much money they make, can they outperform Zhu Yuanzhang? He has a money printing machine, and he can do whatever he wants!

When the time comes, it depends on how much Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to give them dividends, and that's how much!

However, at this time, the Ming monarchs and ministers, who lacked financial knowledge, all looked at what they could see in front of them, and they were satisfied with a smile.

The hukou and land system are the foundation and the cornerstone of the dynasty, and if this is solved, other policies are relatively not very big. When Zhu Yuanzhang announced it again, it would be easier.

Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in Xiangshan County for another ten days, and during these ten days, he himself traveled all over Xiangshan County, and also summoned He Zhen to re-appoint He Zhen as the political envoy of Zhejiang.

Panyu County, next door to Xiangshan County, was also noticed by Zhu Yuanzhang because of its proximity, so he was also promoted to the official of Daotong and appointed him as the political envoy of Shanxi, which was regarded as a leapfrog promotion.

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang crowned Zhang Yifan as the Marquis of Rongguo, received an extra share of Yulu, stepped down from the post of county magistrate of Xiangshan County, and returned to Beijing with the car. Fang Xiaoru took over as the county commander of Xiangshan County, and at the same time kept Xiangshan County as a special zone and directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor. However, starting next year, seventy percent of the tax will be paid to the imperial court, and it will no longer be just left to the Xiangshan County Ya.

Although it is said that the horse came to Xiangshan County to be the county commander, from the beginning, all the people knew that the horse came to be the county commander, but the term of office was only three years.

Now it is really confirmed that the horse has stepped down from the post of county magistrate of Xiangshan County, and the people of Xiangshan County are in tears when they hear it.

According to the records of later generations, as soon as the news of the resignation of the county magistrate of Xiangshan County came out on the same day, the whole city mourned, like a funeral examination approval.

When the horses left Xiangshan County with their cars, on both sides of the Pearl River, the people knelt down all the way, all the way

Straight to the north of Guangzhou, the wailing is endless.
