Jiang Xinghuo didn't wait for the two of them to think about it anymore, relying on their brains and knowledge, even if they could think of the real answer to the question, the delay would be too long.

And there are some contents in it, history, geography, economics, and the examples given in many lessons in the past, in fact, invisibly, all connected together at this time.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't have the interest in repeating it to his new inmate, and he didn't care if the other party understood it or not, anyway, he told Zhu Gaoxu.

Jiang Xinghuo said directly: "The expansion of the strong Han Shengtang attempt to control the trade routes in the Western Regions ended in 'temporary success and final defeat', and after that, with the arrival of the Xiaoice River period, the best precipitation line for farming began to move south, and the chain reaction was that Guanzhong no longer became the economic center, which also led to the Tang court with Guanzhong as the basic plate, and the finances were more stretched, so the two tax laws were changed, the two taxes and three points were changed, and the central tax game with the clan town was entered. ”

Zhu Gaoxu was a little dumbfounded for a while.

He never thought that all the seemingly isolated and scattered contents of different subjects that he had talked about before would magically connect together in the end?

"That is to say, economic factors such as population, money, and technology are actually distributed along with economic activities."

"So what's the core of economic activity?"

"Nature is the timing and quantity of goods transported."

"We have also said before that the reason why the Chinese civilization is a great river civilization is because the original Chinese ancestors multiplied on both sides of the Yellow River, and the use of the Yellow River for the transportation of goods can effectively save transportation time and increase the number of transportation. In fact, throughout ancient and modern China and foreign countries, it is like this, close to the water source is easy to produce a prosperous city, when the Tang Dynasty eight rivers around Chang'an, the grand scene, is this reason. ”

Seeing that the two of them were still a little puzzled, Jiang Xinghuo said a word.

"When you talk about goods, money, and economy, you can't understand it, then you can actually replace these words with the equivalent of one word."

"Food!"

"Grain is goods, money, and economy since ancient times!"

Jiang Xinghuo said this, Zhu Gaoxu and Zheng He were clear.

Say it earlier!

It's complicated to talk about so many goods, money, economy, etc., but in fact, to put it bluntly, isn't it just about "the time and quantity of food transported"?

As soon as they said this, the two understood what Jiang Xinghuo meant.

Zhu Gaoxu thought of the example mentioned in Mr. Jiang's geography class, so he said: "That Ming Dynasty decided to have the capital of Nanjing, and later considered moving the capital and gave up, is there also this reason?" ”

Of course, the status of Guanzhong's economic center has long been transferred, and it is naturally difficult to afford the status of the temple center, after all, in the tradition of Chinese history, the temple center is often a gathering place for a large number of people. Emperor Taizu Gao's Tianzong Shenwu must have also thought of this, if he forcibly used Xi'an, which was not an economic center, to bear the temple center of the Ming Dynasty, there was naturally only one way. ”

"——Relying on the grain of the economic center of Jiangnan to feed the population of Xi'an, the center of the temple."

"In the long run, between the economic center Jiangnan and the temple center Xi'an, there will inevitably be a separation from Germany."

"This is the almost irreconcilable limitation of an agrarian society, and there is no solution."

——————

As soon as these words came out, the silence in the secret room suddenly became terrifying.

Zhu Di's face was a little embarrassed.

Li Zhigang was even more frightened, and large beads of sweat flowed down his forehead again.

There is no other reason, as long as the memory is more than goldfish, everyone knows that it was Li Zhigang who just sent the proposal of "changing Beiping Mansion to Beijing" to the cabinet a few days ago.

That's right, it was Li Zhigang who figured out Zhu Di's idea and boldly advocated moving the capital.

And now that Jiang Xinghuo is saying this, he is not only slapping Li Zhigang's face, but also slapping Zhu Di's face!

"The new emperor won't send his official to prison in a fit of anger, right?"

Emperor Hongwu was sent to prison once.

Emperor Jianwen was sent to prison once.

Emperor Yongle, I haven't sent him in yet.

Li Zhigang looked at Zhu Di nervously, waiting for the other party's thunderous rage, as well as the eating and hanging that was very likely to come.

Zhu Di has a bad temper, Li Zhigang knew about it when he was an official to Zhu Biao more than 20 years ago.

Although Zhu Laosi is not as tyrannical as Zhu Laoer, he is definitely not a good person.

Li Zhigang silently sent a pair of elegiac couplets in his heart for the warrior who dared to say such a straightforward truth on the other side of the wall.

Isn't it good to squat in the edict prison?

Why do you have to point out the country's wild words?

Isn't it fragrant to be alive?

Li Zhigang felt that if nothing else, Zhu Di would be furious in the next breath. It's like Zhu Di treats people like Lian Zining and Fang Xiaoru.

The light will be punished by the nine tribes, and the heavy will be punished by the ten tribes.

But as expected, it soon turned out to be expected.

Li Zhigang witnessed an unbelievable thing that made him doubt his life.

Zhu Di's face was ugly, and finally he took a deep breath and calmed down?

Li Zhigang's eyes are about to pop out, is this still the Zhu Di he knows?

Can you bear this?

If it were another king, even if it was a good-tempered king, hearing a prisoner disobey him like this, even if the other party was reasonable, I am afraid that he would have already lost his temper and ordered the other party to be killed on the spot.

Li Zhigang really couldn't figure out how Zhu Di, who had always had a bad temper, tolerated it.

Zhu Di really held back, not only did he not order the punishment of the person who spoke on the other side of the wall, but asked with interest: "Li Shangshu, what do you think of these remarks?" Do you think that after establishing Beiping Mansion as Beijing, should the Ming Dynasty move its capital from Nanjing to Beijing? ”

Li Zhigang secretly screamed in his heart, the prisoner opposite had just finished talking about the theory of the economic center and the temple center, Zhu Di mentioned the matter of moving the capital at this juncture, no matter what he said, he was adding fuel to the fire.

It was difficult for Li Zhigang to judge whether Zhu Di's smile on the surface at this time was a prelude to sharpening the knife to Huo Huoxiang's family tree. He only knew that this man who ascended to Dabao by rebelling as a vassal king was not to be disobeyed, and at this time, some people questioned Zhu Di's intention to move the capital.

This is simply looking for death!

Li Zhigang hurriedly replied: "It's all thanks to Your Majesty. Holy referee, Weichen didn't dare to speak nonsense. ”

Zhu Di looked at him with a smile: "Oh? Why don't you just talk about it? ”

This tone made Li Zhigang feel great coercion, and Li Zhigang suddenly had cold sweat on his face, and even his lips turned purple and blue.

"Wechen." Li Zhigang gritted his teeth and said, "Weichen thinks that the capital should be moved to Beijing." ”

"Huh, really?" Zhu Di's expression seemed to be smiling.

"Really!"

"Okay, since you said this, there must be a draft about the relocation of the capital, then I want to hear your high opinions."

"Your Majesty praises falsely, and you dare not speak highly." Li Zhigang smiled bitterly: "Wei Chen just took the courage to think about it for His Majesty from the perspective of a bystander. ”

Zhu Di said lightly: "Let's hear it." ”

Li Zhigang said respectfully: "Weichen feels that if he continues to stay in Nanjing, in this rich place south of the Yangtze River, whether it is the army, the lords or the ministers of the court, I am afraid that they will inevitably have a sense of slackness. How many previous dynasties have proved that it is easy to lose sharpness in the south. ”

"Your Majesty, if it is decided today, the relocation will be the time when there is the least resistance, and besides, Weichen thinks." Li Zhigang pondered and said: "Your Majesty must want to make great efforts to achieve prosperity, and if it is delayed in Nanjing, it will be difficult to do anything at this time, which is not necessarily a good thing." ”

Zhu Di sneered inexplicably.

The implied meaning of Li Zhigang's words, of course Zhu Di understood.

Jiangnan is the basic plate of the gentry class, and this is not his Zhu Di's lair, if Zhu Di wants to do something, it will get in the way, so it is better to move the capital back to the north, out of sight and out of mind.

But what did it become? Zhu Di was afraid of the gentry and hid back in his lair?

There is no such thing!

He Zhu Di has been afraid of anyone all his life, except for his father Zhu Yuanzhang!

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and asked: "Then according to Aiqing's meaning, if Beiping Mansion. . . Beijing, as the center of the temple and the economic center in the south of the Yangtze River, how should the food problem be handled? ”

Li Zhigang pondered for a moment and said: "Weichen thinks that the Grand Canal should be re-dredged and Caoyun should be re-dredged, and Caoyun has an additional benefit, cough cough." ”

Li Zhigang didn't say this, in fact, it was equivalent to telling Zhu Di that Cao Yun can give Jiangnan a disguised endowment, and always let the Jiangnan gentry class press a big mountain!

Li Zhigang, a native of Songjiang, can make such a move that defies the disapproval of the gentry in the world, and he is a traitor to the class.

"Hahaha"

Who would have thought that Zhu Di would laugh out loud suddenly, and the laughter was deafening, resounding throughout the secret room.

After laughing, Zhu Di restrained his expression and said, "Aiqing, do you know why I used you as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"Wechen is terrified." Li Zhigang replied cautiously.

"Actually, it's not because you're good at learning, or have good conduct, or because you're capable, but because you know how to measure and scale, know when to say something, and know when to shut up."

Zhu Di said lightly: "These days, you will go up every two or three days to ask to move the capital. ”

"Do you know why I didn't agree for a long time, and just ordered the change of Beiping Mansion to Beijing?"

"Jiangnan is the foundation of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I was born here, and I must not be taken lightly!"

"Wechen is terrified." Li Zhigang knelt down, "Wei Chen speculated on the holy will without authorization, and the sin deserves death!" ”

"I don't blame you." Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "I am loyal and upright to you, and I don't bother to bother with you." ”

Although Li Zhigang himself knows that he has nothing to do with "loyalty and uprightness", this is a very obvious temple signal.

Li Zhigang lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and Weichen admires it." ”

With Zhu Di's slight bow, Li Zhigang's heart was relieved, and he finally escaped this crisis.

You don't have to be sent to prison for the third time.

And Dao Yan, who had been silent, silently twisted the rosary at this time.

——————

Zheng He obviously also thought of the recent argument between the government and the opposition arguing about moving the capital when he had just returned from Wanli Shitang.

The relocation of the capital, like the establishment of the imperial reserve, has been the focus of recent controversy between the government and the opposition.

Even compared with Lichu, moving the capital affects more related interests.

After all, moving the capital meant that Jiangnan officials had to leave their familiar fields, give up their mansions and other real estate that they had accumulated for many years, and move their families to unfamiliar Beijing.

It's not that no one has maliciously speculated, this is the emperor's conspiracy, wanting to weaken the imperial court inherited from Emperor Jianwen, and naturally resisting and opposing Zhu Di, the usurper.

This kind of resistance and opposition is by no means something that can be eliminated by the subscription quota of Daming treasury bonds bound to the fertilizer workshop, and this kind of small favor and small favor.

Just when Zheng He was still worried about the "ancient" of the Hongwu Dynasty to discuss the relocation of the capital to Xi'an, it was appropriate to use the Yongle Dynasty to discuss the "present" of moving the capital to Beiping.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't bother to think about these at all, and asked at the moment: "Then according to Mr. Jiang's statement, population, money, and grain are all distributed along with economic activities, and the core of economic activities is the time and quantity of grain transportation. Is it not suitable for Daming to move the capital to Beiping Mansion? ”

"That's nature."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at each other thoughtfully, and before everyone knew it, Jiang Xinghuo had successfully pulled the topic here.

In fact, this is also a change made by Jiang Xinghuo.

Since knowing Zhu Gaoxu's identity, Jiang Xinghuo felt that he could use his influence as a pro-student to better transform Daming.

To transform the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely necessary to develop the rudiments of industrialization, and the easiest industry to develop is precisely inseparable from sea power.

If the Ming Dynasty still moved its capital from Nanjing to Beijing as in history, it would be much more difficult to develop a prototype of industrialization compared with Nanjing in terms of Beijing's geography and transportation conditions.

Therefore, Jiang Xinghuo intends to continue to point out the country in an ignorant and unconscious manner, and slightly adjust the content of the lecture in the next few limited classes, and influence Zhu Gaoxu through the lecture, and then influence the high-level of the Ming Empire.

In this way, through their own reasoned and well-founded theories, they may be able to make the high-level of the Ming Empire carefully consider the matter of moving the capital, so as to leave the capital in Nanjing, so as to better develop foreign trade, develop the prototype of industrialization, and establish a sea power empire.

This is also an important change in Jiang Xinghuo's mentality.

Originally, Jiang Xinghuo was a salted fish in the edict prison, eating and waiting to die and lie down, but because of the experience of the previous seven lives, he felt that he could not change history.

And now that he has changed history, Jiang Xinghuo, who was originally going to die and go home directly, stopped seriously at this time and began to hold a certain "try" mentality, starting with lectures, participating in the historical process, and seeing if he could really make greater changes to history.

The first attempt was to influence the relocation of the capital of the Ming Empire by explaining the theory of sea power and land power, as well as the connection between temples, economy, and military.

Of course, for the matter of moving the capital, the disturbance and impact that Jiang Xinghuo can do is nothing more.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't expect that he would be able to make the high-level of the Ming Empire change their minds about moving the capital to Beijing through Zhu Gaoxu's mouth, but this did not prevent him from giving it a try.

If you are willing to listen to me, you will speak, and if you think what I say makes sense, you will do it, regardless of whether the other party will listen or do it, after Jiang Xinghuo is released from prison, he intends to spread the seeds of thinking.

After all, this seed, as long as there is still oppression in the world, will take root and sprout sooner or later.

Retracting his thoughts, Jiang Xinghuo continued: "Of course, there is actually a way to change the awkward relationship between the temple center and the economic center. However, this is probably not quite in line with the requirements of the traditional land power state, well, the most typical is the Shang Junshu. ”

Zhu Gaoxu perked up and hurriedly said, "Mr. Jiang, come quickly!" ”
