Chapter 347, Daming Northern Raiders
Before Hua Dang's son Daha entered the city wall from the east of the capital, he saw the prosperous light industry park, as well as the mountains of cloth, ironware, and all kinds of exquisite goods next to the canal wharf.
There was a look of amazement and salivation in his eyes, and then he pointed to the southeast: "Is there a fire there?" â
Rebubu Langzhong, who came to greet him, smiled faintly: "There is an iron factory. â
ââŚâŚ When I came to Dadu, it wasn't like that. â
"It's Beijing, not the capital of Mengyuan."
After correcting him, the salute raised his hand: "Enter the city and rest for two days." Two days later, I will see you in the upper hall. â
During the Zhengde period, Hua was a prisoner, and later sent to Beijing to ask for guilt.
Duoyan Sanwei and Daming actually have a lot of history of paying tribute, but this time, Wang Shouren's message to Huadang is different.
Daha entered the city full of anticipation, and the first thing he saw was a three-wheeled car running around with people running around.
"This ......," he said, pointing in surprise to the one he wanted to ask.
"Rickshaw, not worth mentioning." Libu Langzhong pretended lightly, "It's useless, it can only be used in a place like the capital with a smooth road." There is no need for mules and horses to pull it, and it is slightly less manpower than two-wheeled board vehicles. â
But I don't think so, because the people who ride these bikes are wearing the same clothes. The body of the car was full of paper and letters.
Then, something surprised him even more.
A young man who was blind in one eye, but dressed in fine clothes, rode a cart with only two wheels in front and two wheels.
He stopped, then tilted his head to look at himself.
"This is the Duoyan Mission?"
"I've seen Yan Gongzi." Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Rites suddenly smiled at the son of the boss of his Ministry of Rites, "Exactly." â
Yan Shifan is the first batch of sons and brothers in the capital to play bicycles. Although it is upside down, it is much more magnificent than horseback riding. Riding this bike is better than riding a horse!
Now Yan Shifan is practicing back and forth on East Chang'an Street, stopping by to see the Duoyan Mission that is going to enter the city today.
"What tribute did you bring?" He asked.
"Back to Yan Gongzi, now I don't call for tribute. The Duoyan mission only brought some mountain ginseng, mink, and horses, which were a state gift to His Majesty. â
"Where's the horse?" Yan Shifan stepped on the ground and looked up.
"I've been sent to the herd herd stead.
ââŚâŚ It's boring, I'm going to welcome the King of Shu. Yan Shifan rode into the car again and turned a corner.
Da Ha was dumbfounded, and waited for him to come and go like the wind before asking, "Who is this son?" â
Daming, the fifth-grade official of the Ministry of Rites, saw the performance in front of him.
The Ministry of Rites Langzhong now put up a shelf again: "The son of the great uncle, his knowledge is also sincerely admired by this official. â
It seems that his flattery of Yan Shifan is only because of his talent, not his identity.
Daha went all the way to the Huitong Hall, and naturally he was inevitably looked at along the way.
The township test is approaching, and there are many talents in the capital who participate in the Beizhili township test, and I faintly hear them talking about philosophy. There are so many people in the capital that they are even more than in the impression of Daha, and now I faintly listen to them talking about railroad tracks and buses, and I only feel that my head is getting more and more dizzy.
Da Ming is less and less the Da Ming he knows.
In the southern suburbs of the capital, Zhu Rangxu, the king of Shu, also looked blankly at the wide avenue in front of him.
His identity is enough for Yan Song and Lu Bing to greet him in person.
After seeing the ceremony, Yan Song personally explained: "This is the newly fired cement, and Zheng Kui was promoted to the county lord because of his merits." This cement is better than the mortar and rice milk to stabilize the masonry, and the reason why the outer city wall has not yet begun to be built is that it is waiting for cement and new bricks. It is also very firm and stable when used to pave the road. â
Zhu Rangxu just pointed in surprise to the craftsman who was carrying the rails on it and preparing to pave it into the road: "There is already so much iron, can it be paved on the road?" â
"Not that much." Yan Song said with a smile, "In the entire Ming Dynasty, there is only this road to try this rail carriage first, and there is not much iron." However, now Datong coal and iron are being transported to Huailai and Beijing through Xuanfu, and the iron is produced much more than before. â
It is precisely because of the large purchase of the Baojin Bureau that Shanxi businessmen will be more supportive of the first step to build the Sanggan River Dam and the second step to build the Yongding River Dam. Now, Tang Shu is presiding over the project there, and Huailai Ordnance Park has also preliminarily built some workshops.
Zhu Rangxu looked back: "This railway...... Will it be repaired outside the city in the future? If the people steal ......"
Yan Song shook his head: "I don't know how many years later, how can there be so much iron?" However, I heard that cement is not expensive, and the road will probably be gradually renovated first, so that the provinces can travel more quickly. â
ââŚâŚ Your Majesty Shengming. Zhu Rangxu could only sigh with emotion.
Yan Song immediately echoed when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Your Highness, let's get into the carriage first and go to the palace." â
From today onwards, the King of Shu will become the first vassal king to live in the capital for a long time.
His two sons have died, and now he has only a five-year-old third son. The emperor returned victorious, and now he can do whatever he wants. Zhu Rangxu just tried it by worrying that there was no city wall in the outer city of Beijing, and since the emperor did not reprimand, he would only be a peaceful and wealthy prince in the future.
Zhu Rangxu doesn't have any ability to make meritorious contributions, his son will be the king of the county, and that is also his life.
His Majesty has been sitting on the throne for eight years, and he has seen the changes in the Ming Dynasty, and no one in the clan can dare to say anything about any arrangements of the emperor.
Zhu Rangxu saw the royal mansion located on the west side of the Temple of Earth, and also saw the many private houses being built next to the Temple of Earth.
When passing by, he saw two princess mansions, so he looked at Lu Bing.
"It's very close to the Shu Palace." Lu Bing grinned, "Your Highness, you will be neighbors in the future." â
ââŚâŚ Lu Juma got married, and the king only had time to send someone to send a congratulatory gift, and now he went out of the city to welcome the king into the city......"
Zhu Rangxu said kind words, but he just beat a drum in his heart: This has been promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard because of his status as a colt. As the commander of the Jinyi Guard in the future, with him as a neighbor, Zhu Rangxu didn't dare to move at all.
The other kings weren't moved either, were they?
Lu Bing also said: "After settling down, the prince can be transported to the palace every day to study, and he will take five days off for five days off." Now, the time has come for the two princes to be enlightened. His Majesty will personally teach a lesson every three or five days, and His Majesty also hopes that the young sons of the kings and the young sons of the lords will become talented and serve the country in the future. â
ââŚâŚ Your Majesty Longen, Xiao Wang felt inexplicable. â
From time to time, I have to send the child to the palace, and I dare not move.
But going to school with the prince, there is a famous teacher who is enlightened, and His Majesty will teach in person, which is a great grace!
"Daddy! Father! How did it happen so quickly? â
Zhu Rangxu turned around in astonishment, only to see a one-eyed young man sweating over on that strange-looking car, and shouted happily at Lu Bing: "Brother Lu! How do you see me riding? â
Lu Bing glared: "What are you doing riding so fast?" It's said that this car is not good, and it is not good for ironwood to stop the wheels! â
He walked over and held down the front of the car with one hand, and slipped Yan Shifan out of the car with the other, Yan Song had a calm face: "Nonsense!" â
ââŚâŚ You asked me to take the martial arts exam again in the future, so I had to step up my physical training with cycling. Yan Shifan didn't care, came over and glanced at Zhu Rangxu, and then saluted, "Your Highness!" â
ââŚâŚ The dog Shifan made His Highness smile. â
"Does Ling Lang actually want to take the martial arts test? Viewing the right talents...... Cycling, miraculous skills, must be high school! â
Yan Shifan felt that he was very eye-catching, and raised his eyebrows at Lu Bing.
Yan Song felt a headache. Since he returned to Beijing to take up his post, Yan Shifan has become more and more public. He is too young, and he can't learn anything in Jinyi Wei School, and now that Huangming University is on summer vacation, he has nothing to do.
"Your Highness praises you, the dog is really naughty...... Yan Song scolded his son sharply, "What are you doing here?" Go home! Punish you for copying Xinjian Houna's "Examination of Practice and Dialectics", copy it three times! Don't go out until you copy it! Lu Horse, you really shouldn't give him this car......"
Lu Bing said with a smile: "It's a congratulatory gift from the Duke of Dingguo, I'm a colt now, but it's not easy to ride." Shifan's willingness to learn is not a bad thing. â
"Look, Brother Lu said so......"
"Go back and copy the book!" Yan Song seemed to hate to kick over.
In this way, Yan Song seemed to have no intention of being more polite with the King of Shu, and after welcoming him into the palace according to the courtesy, he hurriedly prepared to go back to the palace to teach Yan Shifan a lesson.
Lu Bing returned to the palace and returned the task to Zhu Houxi, and also mentioned the matter.
Zhu Houxi just smiled: "That kid is energetic and smart, Yan Songfei is pressing him, how can he vent his energy if he has no place to do it?" What are you talking about about this? â
Lu Bing bowed and said: "Last year, there were people in the capital who were in tandem, hoping that the changes in civil engineering would reappear, and they also left a state minister. Now that Mr. Fei is about to resign, Wang Guowu and Yang Guowu are also old, and Zhang Lun has not made much achievements, and he has to resign when he hears about it, so he moves around the capital frequently. Yichen's understanding of Yan Shifan, he should not be publicized so much. Now, it seems that Yan Shangshu wants him to do this, so that he can give people a handle. â
That state minister naturally didn't really have any thoughts, but he was old, so he retired a little early, so as not to be stared at this year. It was his ambiguity that exposed more than a dozen officials in the capital, and Zhu Houxi did them all after returning to Beijing. The state affairs that were themselves marginal took the opportunity to resign, and let Wang Xian, who returned to Beijing with merit, take his position.
Zhu Houxi looked him up and down, and then said, "After getting married, I have become a lot more stable." Yan Song is a smart person, he will not rush into the State Palace, he can return to Beijing, and he can help me do the errand of the Ministry of Rites, which is more important. Yan Shifan didn't ride a bicycle in the capital on the first day to swagger through the city, so everyone else understood, Yan Song had no intention of fighting for the Minister of State. Quietly, the vote in his hand is important. â
"Your Majesty is aware of everything."
Zhu Houxi waved his hand: "This is not a big deal, your subordinates want to progress, this is a good thing." It is normal to be among the national policy halls and state affairs halls, and it is normal to move around frequently, as long as you don't miss your work and have no other plans. You pay more attention to the matter that Wei Bin played, the problems in the Emperor's Record, and find out and report it as soon as possible. â
"Command!"
After Lu Bing retired, Zhu Houxi thought for a while.
Fei Hong resolutely resigned, Zhu Houxi could actually tolerate him for two terms, but Fei Hong was afraid of blocking too many people's roads. Jiang Mian is also sixty-six years old, and I heard that he is going to return to Beijing with his resignation to attend the last major policy meeting.
Yang Tinghe's health began to fail, Wei Bin's health also deteriorated, and the group of old ministers when Zhu Houxi ascended the throne are now about to retire on a large scale.
Today's prime minister's state affairs, out of the six state affairs, three of them have to go at once, and Zhang Lun, who has no merit and no fault, is also a person who is ready to pay tribute.
At the moment of the big change, Zhu Houxi felt a little embarrassed.
Zhang Fujing's problem is that if he becomes the chief assistant after eight years as an official, it is really difficult to convince the public, although his talent is the most suitable.
This time, it is only suitable to enter the State Palace, and this is only one of them.
Although Mao Ji is also sixty-five, he is in very good health, and he can also make up for one of them.
Wu Tingju's talents are good, and he is also very practical, and he can make up for one.
Xia Yan...... Let him work in Zhejiang for another three years.
So if Fei Hong resolutely resigns, there is still a lack of one person in the State Palace, or even a general assistant, and Zhu Houxi has no other good candidates in his heart.
Who is the general assistant, now that I think about it, it is still Fei Hong who is more suitable.
For more than two years, he has done very well and steadily.
The main reason is that Zhu Houxi wants to set a precedent and only work for three years per person, which is really not conducive to the continuity of some things.
Although the continuity of this depends on Zhu Houxi, the change of the general assistant still has a great impact.
"Huang Jin, go to Xuan Fei Hong and Yang Yiqing them. When the Duoyan delegation arrived, they all came to the royal court to discuss how to talk to them. â
âŚâŚ
Yan Song was the last to arrive at the Heart Cultivation Palace, and when he came in, Fei Hong, Zhang Zilin, Wang Qiong, Yang Yiqing, Wang Xian, and Gu Dingchen were all present.
After meeting the emperor, Yan Song sat down and listened to the emperor talk about topics that had nothing to do with Duoyan.
"Mr. Fei has resigned three times, and today in front of the secretaries, I will say it again." Zhu Houxi looked at Fei Hong, "You have to work for another three years." â
Yan Song's heart was shocked, and he saw Fei Hong's face with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty, the minister is very old......
"Sixty-one." Zhu Houxi shook his head, "Since I have entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, I don't have to be suspicious, so you don't need to worry." Dehua and Zong Yuan are indeed old, and Zhang Lun has no intention of going. The ministers of state have changed too much. What's more, in the past, there were people who served as the first assistant of the cabinet for more than ten years, so why should the chief assistant be like this? â
"It is really difficult for the ministers to be in charge, the people are in the dynasty, and the talents are stronger than the ministers, and I don't know how many, Your Majesty ......"
"There are few old and respectable people." Zhu Houxi paused before saying, "Moreover, if the general assistant has no major fault, he will be re-elected for at least two consecutive terms, so that many government affairs will not be frequently handed over, and the imperial court will be in a big move for three years, and the people's hearts will be uncertain." Fei Qing, you are the first chief assistant, and you want to make a good start for the latecomers. I resolutely resigned at the end of three years, which seems to me to be too suspicious of the prime minister. â
ââŚâŚ The minister was terrified. â
"That's it, please don't allow it!" Zhu Houxi slapped the board, "Let's get down to business." I have already read the strategy discussed in the State Council. Generally speaking, this is the case, but the place where the market is opened is set in Kaiyuan, and it is better to set it in Quang Ninh. â
Yang Yiqing was stunned: "Guangning? â
Zhu Houxi nodded: "Guangning!" As long as the market is opened, there will be more and more people in the Liaohe area, and agriculture will be promoted. The land in Liaodong is fertile, I read through the annals of history, and when they went to Beijing and other roads, there were only more than 176,000 households in Liaodong, and the annual tax collection could reach more than 205,000 stones. After that, during the Mengyuan Dynasty, there were many tribes and endless wars, and Liaodong's agriculture regressed. To start trade, not only to divide the Mengyuan Yuan, but also to develop Liaodong and naturalize the people of all ethnic groups outside the border wall of the Liaohe River. â
Zhu Houxi did not forget the Jurchens who finally destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and Liaodong is really a place that must be well managed.
Before the Xiaoice period completely arrives, it is necessary to eliminate the troubles over there.
First of all, from the opening of the market, the agriculture in the Liaohe River area should be restored as much as possible, which will also be some grain and grass basis for the use of troops there in the future.
For Duoyan Sanwei, who is already close to the Ming Dynasty, this time it is also necessary for them to no longer worry about making wall grass and making profits in many ways, but to cut off their willingness to work hard for their descendants who are willing to work hard for Huadang in the future.
The Northeast can feed many people in a stable manner, Zhu Houxi is sure of this.
And Duoyan Sanwei, who has mastered many good things such as iron pots and ironware exported by the Ming Dynasty to the north, will certainly have a greater say in the grassland, but it will also become the target of public criticism.
Yan Song took the lead in praising it: "This millennium plan! If the Northeast is all subject to kingization, why worry about the trouble? â
"Da Ming is going to give Duo Yan Sanwei, they will be ecstatic. It's just the border wall of Liaodong, which also needs to be guarded. Zhu Houxi looked at Wang Xian, "Whether this plan can be achieved or not, Liaodong needs to be able to serve good generals, which is more important than how to talk about trade." At this major policy meeting, the secretary and others should also ponder these things. â
The Northern Yuan Khan's Court is now powerless to compete with the right wing, and the northeastern tribes that now occupy most of the Songnen Great Plain will probably become their new targets.
I have the impression that after the rise of Alta, the Khan's court moved eastward. Since he is going to move east, sooner or later he will have friction with Duoyan Sanwei.
After destroying the Khan Court and driving away Meda, the captivity in the north of the Ming Dynasty was cut off.
Wei Bin reported that the descendants of the Li clan on the Jiaozhi side could not be found, but now no one has come to Daming to ask for help, and Mo Dengyong is busy clearing out the rebellion that has not been able to achieve the climate. Today, his main enemy is Nguyen Gan, the former general of the Right Guard Hall of the LĂŞ Dynasty, who fled into mourning. I heard that Ruan Gan was looking everywhere for the descendants of the Li clan to think of as a banner.
Even so, he took advantage of the battle to cut off Bodi's prestige and pass through the northern border of the Ming Dynasty.
Da Ming had to lead me by the nose, so he had to deal with it. Next, Xuanda is on the front line, and Daming is only ready to guard. Liaodong is precious to peace, and the market is open for trade. The matter of the north, the next step is in the Loop.
If there is something wrong with Gunbiric, should I help him?
