Chapter 389 Three sentences, it's heart-wrenching!
The city of Nanjing seems to have returned to its former prosperity.
However, compared with the previous drunken gold fans, Nanjing City at this time has no such situation with the arrival of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Overall, it's a lot more majestic.
The guards on this side of Nanjing City are also far more sophisticated than before.
Originally, many of the soldiers and horses guarding this side of Nanjing City were like goods.
It's okay to scare and scare people on weekdays.
If you really start to do it, you won't be able to meet a ruthless character at all.
Now the defenders on the side of Nanjing City have been reborn.
Not only is the military discipline strict, but the combat effectiveness has also become much stronger.
After reaching a certain position, a person can really influence countless people.
Zhu Yuanzhang is undoubtedly such an existence.
It was also under these circumstances that the Assassins, who had high hopes from Dolgon, entered the city of Nanjing.
They came in batches, and on the way there, they reversed course.
No longer from the north, but from the west, or from the east, and even two more, they went in a big circle and went around to the south.
Then from the south to the side of Nanjing.
It can be seen that Dolgon has high hopes for these people, and thinks that they can succeed for a reason.
These people, Dolgon really didn't brag.
It's quite professional indeed.
After these people entered the city of Nanjing, they quickly disappeared in the crowd.
It's like a drop of water, blending into a big lake, everything is so natural, there are no ripples......
Zhu Yuanzhang and Han Cheng are also busy with their own affairs......
"Father, I think our side should be able to abolish the sea ban and open the city."
In the Wuying Palace, Han Cheng looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said loudly.
By this time, the Jiangnan side had settled down for more than half of it.
The rest of the people can't jump for too long, and they will be wiped out by Zhu Yuanzhang here by thunderous means.
Let Jiangnan be reborn here.
Many of the gentry were eliminated, and power was regained by the imperial court.
Although now here in Jiangnan, it has not been completely pacified.
But Han Cheng believes that with the good situation that has been fought now, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang's ability.
In the future, Jiangnan will settle down here, and there is no doubt about it.
Moreover, the work of his propaganda department is now on the right track.
Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi, and Huang Zongxi, these backbones have also been cultivated.
These people are really capable.
Moreover, now in Jiangnan, the most dangerous moment here has passed.
So Han Cheng's side was also a lot more leisurely all of a sudden.
After thinking about it, he came to see Zhu Yuanzhang in the Wuying Hall today, and talked to Zhu Yuanzhang about the establishment of the city's shipping department.
Zhu Cihong on the side heard this, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, there are a lot of worries and some puzzles.
Although he came to Nanjing, he ascended the throne and became the emperor.
Zhu Cihong has been exposed to more and more things, and has a lot of new understanding of this world.
I also know that there is a lot of money at sea.
For example, the Zheng family, which was subdued by the grandfather, relied on overseas families and was very rich.
However, he still feels that no matter how rich he is, no matter how rich he is, it will be limited after all.
It's just a small fight, and it can't be put on the table.
The real rich has to be Huaxia!
This land is rich in products and is home to many people.
The largest source of income for the imperial court was the collection of taxes from the fields.
That's the most important thing.
I didn't look at it now, with the great grandfather, he used thunderous means to clear the acres of land and collect a lot of land for the state.
And divide it up for the people to cultivate, and establish a new tax system, a series of actions down.
In the hands of the imperial court, there is already a lot of money, is the treasury full?
How to ...... now? Han Juma suddenly found his grandfather and said such a thing?
Do you want to make a difference at such a time?
To abolish the sea ban and set up a municipal shipping department?
I remember that whether it is the ban on the sea or the abolition of the city division, it was all implemented by the grandfather back then, right?
Doing this now, wouldn't it make Grandpa Tai break his promise and slap himself in the face?!
Of course, although Zhu Cihong had doubts in his heart, he did not ask these words at this time.
He knew that compared to Han Yuma and Grandpa Tai and others, he was too immature.
In the face of these things, it is better to listen more and learn more and ask less.
Now is a good time to seize the time and learn more.
This matter, since it can make the magical, immortal-like Han Horse specially take it out and tell the great grandfather, then this matter must not be simple.
After listening to Han Cheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded and said, "This matter, we have been thinking about it for the past few days."
I feel that I can indeed take this opportunity to abolish the sea ban and re-establish the city department.
Sort out all these things. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that as long as this matter was done, it would definitely touch the interests of many people.
It will make many people anxious.
But so what?
It just so happens that Lan Yu and them are leading troops to clean the south of the Yangtze River and clean the house.
You might as well do it along.
Let those people jump out and clean them up!
So as not to have to do it again in the future, it will be very troublesome.
After Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Han Cheng's words, he directly agreed to it.
There was no hesitation.
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Han Cheng also nodded.
I felt that it was not surprising that Zhu Yuanzhang would agree to it after hearing his proposal.
On the one hand, he knew that his weight in the hearts of Lao Zhu, the old father-in-law, was getting heavier and heavier.
Zhu Yuanzhang will seriously consider many of the suggestions he said.
and execute.
Moreover, Han Cheng also felt that this was a good time to abolish the sea ban and re-establish the city shipping department.
After all, now, Zhu Yuanzhang is cleaning up Jiangnan.
And the resistance to abolishing the sea ban and re-establishing the city port division is also on the Jiangnan side.
As soon as this kind of thing is done, it will inevitably lead many people to suffer from it.
and even all kinds of tricks.
It doesn't matter when it is disposed of, it will cause quite a reaction.
It made a lot of trouble.
After all, cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents.
There are not a few people in Jiangnan who live by smuggling abroad and eat a lot of fat.
Since it doesn't matter when you do it, these people will jump and mess up.
Then it's better to take this opportunity and do it all together.
Anyway, if there are more lice, you won't bite, and if you have more debts, you won't have to worry.
One sheep is also herded, and two sheep are also driven.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was already aiming to clean up Jiangnan, and if he had to do it again in the future, it would be too troublesome.
In this matter, Han Cheng and Zhu Yuanzhang hit it off!
Of course, there is another aspect to Zhu Yuanzhang's desire to abolish the sea ban and re-establish the city shipping department.
That is, now in the Hongwu space, he is also ready to carry out this matter.
Now we can add a lot of relevant experience by implementing it here first.
In the future, when I return to the Hongwu period, I can do this better.
Another part of the idea is that I want to test the water here at the end of the Ming Dynasty first.
See how much money you can make through the city.
Is it really as profitable as Han Cheng said?
Although Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Han Cheng's story, especially when he looked at the accounts of the annual profit of the City Shipping Division in the early and middle Yuan Dynasty.
As for what Han Cheng said, foreign trade can obtain great wealth, he is convinced.
However, this matter is very important, and Zhu Yuanzhang still feels that he needs to plan carefully.
Do it here first, seeing is believing.
This matter, which is extremely important to today's Daming Dynasty and has more far-reaching significance in the future, was finalized by Han Cheng and Zhu Yuanzhang in a few words, and is ready to be implemented.
After the two of them settled the matter, they turned their heads to look at Zhu Cihong.
Although Zhu Cihong didn't ask, Zhu Yuanzhang still saw his doubts from Zhu Cihong's eyes.
immediately looked at Zhu Cihong and said, "Cihong, let's talk to you about this matter."
But never underestimate overseas, let alone at sea.
These places are really profitable!
There is infinite wealth overseas.
Didn't you look at the Jiangnan side, there are many people who rely on smuggling at sea to make a lot of money and get rich?
For example, this Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong and their family.
He is definitely a super rich businessman, and he has an amazing amount of wealth in his hands.
They are just a microcosm.
In addition to them, there are many people here in Jiangnan.
They all rely more or less on smuggling to eat.
This huge benefit has been taken away from us by these people for too long!
For more than 200 years, I don't know how much money I lost!
This huge amount of money has been divided among these guys!
Now that we're here, it's time to take it back.
Don't let these bugs steal anymore!
To tell you the truth, in our Hongwu Dynasty, we are also ready to implement this matter.
And there is already a charter.
When we get back from here, we'll start working on this right away.
In our Hongwu Dynasty, the sea ban was also abolished and the city was reopened......"
"Grandpa, is this maritime trade really so important?"
Zhu Cilang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with some surprise and asked.
This matter can be so highly praised by the great grandfather.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Overseas, you should never despise it.
A lot of places are rich in oil......"
As he spoke, he told Zhu Cihong about some of the things he got from Han Cheng about overseas.
Moreover, he also told Zhu Cihong that during the Hongwu period, after being reminded by Han Cheng, he went to check the accounts of the city and the company left by the Yuan Dynasty, and the highest annual income of 30 million guan he saw was also told to Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cihong was stunned when he heard what his grandfather said.
The soul was greatly shocked and shocked!
Actually...... How rich is it?!
Set up a city shipping department to manage maritime trade, and you can earn so much in a year?!
For as long as Zhu Cihong can remember, the situation has been difficult.
knew that his father was worried about money every day.
The inside of the treasury is very clean.
The imperial court can't collect taxes in its hands, but it still costs money everywhere.
Especially later, the annual taxes collected are pitiful.
As a result, now, it is only a foreign trade market, and at its peak, it can earn 30 million yuan a year, what kind of concept is this!!
Zhu Cihong was stupid by the impact.
And then the eyes shine!
Not long ago, he was still thinking that with the taxes in Jiangnan, the money made by the city department was just a small profit.
It doesn't matter if you want it or not.
But now, after hearing such words from Zhu Yuanzhang, his thoughts changed in an instant.
Don't think so anymore!
In this matter, I am really too reckless and short-sighted.
If it weren't for what Grandpa Tai said, no matter how he thought about it, he would never have imagined that this seemingly inconspicuous little market company could make so much money!
Such a good thing, it must be set up!
It is necessary to abolish the sea ban and set up a city shipping department!
Whoever dares to stand in the way will be cut off from his head!
At this time, Zhu Cihong suddenly became the most staunch supporter of abolishing the sea ban and re-establishing the city department.
If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, after becoming the emperor.
Zhu Cihong only knew how much money it would take to govern a country well.
Now there is a great grandfather here, and there are a lot of entries every day.
If it weren't for the fact that Grandpa Tai had such means, he would be a great money-maker.
Just looking at the money that flows from the treasury every day was enough to make his head bigger.
Now after listening to Grandpa Tai say how much income the city's shipping company has, Zhu Cihong suddenly became excited.
This good thing, you have to get it out!
At this time, it happened that Grandpa Tai and they were all there, so they could let Grandpa Tai help implement it.
Things are going to be much more secure.
This is the benefit of having the blessing of our ancestors.
A lot of things are smooth sailing, and it's not too comfortable to do.
If it weren't for the great grandfather and them, Zhu Cihong was very sure that even if he was brought to the current situation, he would not be able to do many things.
"If you want to set up a city department, you naturally need to have some relevant personnel.
We think that Zheng Chenggong is very good.
It just so happens that their Zheng family has a lot of influence at sea, and they themselves have a lot of channels.
You can pull him in and let him help with it. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and said.
With some inquiry.
Hearing this, Han Cheng nodded and said, "Father, it's right for you to think so.
Actually, that's what I think.
What does Zheng Chenggong say...... He was the one who had been following his father in this business for a long time, and he knew that very well.
And he is also good at naval warfare, not good at land warfare.
It's really exciting to fight in a naval battle, but if you encounter a land battle, it's probably easy to get thin.
When employing people, it is best to get him in the right position.
It couldn't be better to use him in this area now.
It belongs to the ...... of people who make the best use of their talents"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Han Cheng's words, he was completely relieved immediately.
No longer hesitated, and let people call Zheng Chenggong......
"Weichen meets Emperor Taizu Gao, meets His Majesty, and meets the concubine."
After Zheng Chenggong came to Wuying Palace, he saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and Han Cheng very respectfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to get up, then looked at Zheng Chenggong and said, "What is the situation in your family now?"
Your father gave you all the power, right? ”
Zheng Chenggong hurriedly said when he heard this: "Back to Emperor Taizu Gao, since that day, my father immediately wrote a letter and informed everyone of the Zheng family that Weichen became the new head of our Zheng family.
The power in the hands of the Zheng family was also handed over to Weichen.
Let everyone obey Weichen's orders.
Now the minister is at the helm of the Zheng family......"
"Good, good!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he smiled and praised loudly.
"That being the case, then things will be easy to do, and we have something here that you can do.
I have called you today to consult with you. ”
When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he hurriedly said: "Emperor Taizu Gao, please speak."
But there is an order, Weichen will never give up! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's not such a dangerous thing, we are preparing to abolish the sea ban and re-establish the city ......."
Zhu Yuanzhang said, and told Zheng Chenggong about some of his specific plans.
"We know that your Zheng family itself is proficient in this way.
We don't have too reliable candidates for this.
You're going to have to worry about it. ”
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zheng Chenggong was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed.
He knew too well how tempting this errand was.
Their Zheng family itself relied on doing business overseas and making a fortune.
I know too well how rich overseas really is.
Originally, they were just private businessmen, but they were able to make so much money and make such a big business.
Now Emperor Taizu Gao is ready to reopen the city, and he called himself over to do this.
From now on, many things can be done in the open.
Business will be bigger.
But after the laughter, Zheng Chenggong became a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Returning to Emperor Taizu Gao, these things ...... If we let Wechen do it, Wechen will try his best to do it well.
But...... But at this time when the country is in crisis, the Tartars are in the Kou, and what Weichen wants to do more is to lead the good sons of my Zheng family to the north to fight against the Tartars! Go into battle!
Cut off the head of the Tartar and drive the Tartar out of my Huaxia! ”
This is the truest thought in Zheng Chenggong's heart.
If his father Zheng Zhilong heard such a good errand here, and it fell on his head, he would definitely be extremely excited to respond to it.
I'm afraid that if the promise is slow, Emperor Taizu Gao will regret it.
But Zheng Chenggong is very different from his father.
He was not a pure businessman.
It's still very okay to be loyal to the monarch and love the country, and there is great righteousness in my heart.
At this time, what I want to do most is not to do business in the back, but to kill the enemy!
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Zheng Chenggong's reaction.
The more this is the case, the more it shows that Zheng Chenggong is indeed a person worthy of entrustment.
Immediately, he said: "This matter is just as important."
In our opinion, it is more important than you going to the front to kill the Tartars.
Since ancient times, if a country wants to be governed well, the court can't do it if it lacks money in its hands.
Now I have a lot of waste to do, and I need money for everything.
Especially against the Tartars, it will cost even more money.
Now he has made a lot of money by getting rid of these moths and starting to adjust taxes and other things.
Now he can support the imperial court and do a lot of things.
However, the number of borers is limited, and it is impossible to fight them all the time.
Therefore, it is also necessary to find a wider source of financial resources to supplement it.
Overseas is the most suitable.
In the future, whether it is fighting the Tartars or countering the rebellion, it will be necessary to have a lot of money and food to support it.
And the city company you are in charge of will earn a steady stream of wealth for me in the future.
With the wealth and materials earned by the city, we can better support many soldiers to fight bravely.
There's no need to worry about supplies.
Isn't that just as important?
This is also a participation in the killing of the Tartars, and the credit is not small at all.
Historically, wars have been fought with logistical supplies.
Why was Han Gaozu able to defeat and fight repeatedly, and finally won the world with one victory?
Xiang Yu is the opposite?
It's because behind it, there is Xiao He!
And you, Zheng Chenggong, are our Xiao He!
It's also Cihong's Xiao He! ”
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Zheng Chenggong's blood boiled visibly.
A lot of stuff fills my chest.
What did he hear?
Emperor Taizu Gao actually called himself his Xiao He?!
What a glorious rear!
Zheng Chenggong himself is loyal and patriotic, and at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has such a special identity, said such a thing.
And directly compare it with Xiao He.
That stimulates him simply, not too strong!
The effect is definitely no less than Zhu Di when he patted the shoulder of his second child and said to Zhu Gaoxu during the Battle of Jingjing, the son of the world is sick, you should encourage him.
Zheng Chenggong didn't say anything, and knelt directly to Zhu Yuanzhang!
Take this errand in one bite.
And said that he will do his best to establish and run the city's ship, even if it is liver and brain, he will not hesitate!
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he stepped forward and personally helped Zheng Chenggong up, so that he didn't have to be polite.
He held Zheng Chenggong's hand and said, "Liver and brain, this is not necessary."
We want you to live well, live a big life, so that we can do more things for our Daming.
I'm a big mess, and I have too many worms.
And you are a highlight we have discovered!
We don't want you to have any accidents, and you can't work so hard when you do things in the future.
I need to think about my own safety......"
It's good that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Zheng Chenggong made up his mind.
In the future, we must serve the court well.
Definitely live up to Emperor Taizu Gao, this recognition of himself, this kindness of knowledge!
Han Cheng was on the side, taking all of these into his eyes.
I couldn't help but sigh secretly, this Lao Zhu really deserves to be Lao Zhu.
Conquer all the way and conquer the people of the world.
This way of the royal world is simply perfect.
You don't need to do anything else, you just need to say something, and you can scream at an existence like Zheng Chenggong with excitement.
I just can't wait to tie my head to the waistband of my trousers, and I will be loyal to Daming desperately!
This ability is really not something that ordinary people can learn.
Zhu Cihong was also on the side, looking at these carefully.
There was a brilliant light in his eyes.
It can be seen that he is hungry and eager to learn the skills of his grandfather......
After some negotiations, the matter was settled.
There is no doubt that there will be some waves again on the Jiangnan side......
After the negotiation, Han Cheng returned to his place of residence.
And it was also at this time that there was an extra person at the door of the place where Han Cheng lived, and this was an assassin...... (End of chapter)
