Chapter 103: The money bag must be squeezed dry
Starting from the morning, take the railway for an hour, arrive at Fangshan, travel the mountains and rivers for an hour, have dinner for an hour, have fun for an hour, and then return for another hour.
Five hours, ten hours.
The young children agreed that once every ten years, each family would take turns to pay for not only the cost of the rails and carriages, but also all the food and goods.
This expense is unaffordable for ordinary people, and for them, it is nothing.
Back in the palace, several young ladies were chattering, even Zhu Yuying, who had always been dignified, was flushed, which showed how devoted.
"This time, the eldest brother paid the money, and the preparation was not good, but unfortunately it will be a long time before it is our family's turn next time." The youngest sister, Zhu Zhiming, pouted and complained.
"Yes."
"Next time it's our turn, we must do the best." Zhu Yuegui is very competitive, she has already thought of the next trip, and if other families have experience, they will definitely arrange it carefully.
The maidens couldn't help but nod.
Although they are serving today, it is more fun than in the house.
Time flies so fast, it feels like it's still morning, and it's about to return all of a sudden, and everyone feels reluctant.
It's also fun to take the train.
Looking out the window in the carriage, it was much more comfortable than the carriage I had sat in before, and I was not tired at all.
Today, the people in the palace are talking about the railway, not only the palace, but also the children of each family after returning to the family, they are still unsatisfied, and excitedly describe what they have seen and heard today to the elders of the family.
"Taigongzi's ideas are always unexpected, but the results are very good, I really admire them."
Seventeen-year-old Zhang Fu is tall and strong, does not smile on weekdays, and has a character as resolute as his father.
's father was dignified, and Zhang Fu worked hard to make himself look majestic, but he was young and thin after all.
"It seems that you admire the eldest prince very much."
Zhang Yu, the commander of Yanshan's left guard, listened to his son's story, his face was still as serious as before, and he didn't have too much expression.
It's hard to see what he thinks.
"My son was selected by the eldest prince to help the eldest prince take care of the military affairs of the engineering team, and the more I got to know the eldest son, the more I admired it."
Zhang Yu was a little more relaxed at this time, and he no longer looked so heavy.
Regarding the performance of his own family and son, although Zhang Yu never mentioned it, he was still proud in his heart.
After looking at the children of each family, he thought that they were not as good as his eldest son.
"Yanwangfu and our family have some mustards." Zhang Yu said indifferently.
Hearing his father mention this matter, Zhang Fu's face darkened, and he only felt frustrated.
My father was a former courtier.
This is nothing, many people from the previous dynasty in this dynasty, as long as they have talent, they can still be reused.
Zhang Fu has admired his father's ability since he was a child.
But his father surrendered late, and Hongwu only surrendered in the eighteenth year, so the conditions were naturally different.
But a father is always a father.
Relying on his military exploits, he was awarded the title of Jinan Wei Deputy Qianhu for his merits, and was promoted to the commander of Anqingwei, and then to the commander of the Yanshan Left Guard.
Six years have reached the point where it is today, for no other reason than because of his father's talent.
But there is one thing.
My father used to fight with Liangguo Gong Lanyu, and he was originally a general under Liangguo Gong Lanyu, but later I don't know who made the move, so he was transferred to the left guard of Yanshan.
Although he is under the command of King Yan, anyone with a discerning eye knows that things are not so simple.
Liang Guogong only has the crown prince in his eyes, and he has targeted the vassal kings several times, including King Yan, and many people speculate about it.
This is the attack of the prince's family, and the guard of the vassal king is controlled in disguise.
Zhang Yu saw the loss of his son.
"There are some things you don't know, there is nothing to hide from you now, for my father, from An Qingwei to Yanshan Zuowei, it is indeed not a normal transfer."
There are some things that don't need to be said too clearly, just a little bit.
Zhang Fu was not surprised, he had already guessed.
"Since his father took office in the left guard of Yanshan, King Yan began to reduce the number of people recruited from the left guard. It shows that King Yan saw through this matter, and at the same time showed a soft attitude, and took the initiative to give up the left guard. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Yu let out a long sigh, and in his deep eyes, he gradually began to be dazed, and he suddenly felt the insignificance of human beings.
The prince of the Hongwu Dynasty is a lineage, and it has never been seen in ancient and modern times.
The saint never suppressed the crown prince and his family, and even took the initiative to support it.
So even if Zhu Di sees through the intention, what can he do? can only choose to retreat, this is the general trend, no one can stop it.
Those who stand in the way will die!
He is a subordinate general under the command of the Duke of Liangguo, and naturally belongs to the prince's line, although he is just an insignificant chess piece on the chessboard.
No matter how weak the chess pieces are, when they are backed by the prince's family, even the first king of the north has to admit defeat.
"People are not as good as heaven, and no one knows that the prince died early at a young age." Zhang Fu raised his head and said something rebellious.
There were only two fathers and sons in the house, and there were no outsiders.
When a man does not have to blame him.
"It seems that your mind has fallen to the eldest prince, so that you can say such things."
The eldest son was only seventeen years old.
And he has long been a housekeeper, and it is also convenient for the prince to open it, so he did not arrange to go to Yingtianfu, but stayed in Yanshan Zuowei to serve.
It can be regarded as the help provided to Zhang Yu, after all, King Yan has been taking care of the left guard for many years, and he only relies on him to take office alone, even if he is backed by the prince's family, it is not so easy to control.
The eldest son can see through these truths, and he has long been regarded as a genius in the rest of the family, Zhang Fu is used to it, and he does not show too much.
"The prince is alive, and our family naturally swears allegiance to the prince, but the prince is dead, and the grandfather of Liangguo can't protect our family."
Zhang Fu said boldly, "My son thinks it's time to turn back, Yanshan Zuowei should be loyal to King Yan." ”
"Ugh."
Zhang Yu sighed.
Isn't it a villain's act to be loyal to King Yan now, not to mention that King Yan can trust their father and son? The son is young after all, and he doesn't know enough about people's hearts.
"The eldest prince respects his father very much, and today he praises his father in front of everyone, saying that his father's military exploits are outstanding, and he has surpassed most people in a few years, and he thinks that his father's ability is also one of the best in Yanshanwei."
"The eldest prince really said that?" Zhang Yu wondered.
I don't have much communication with the eldest prince, and I only said a few words among the crowd some time ago, how can I attach so much importance to myself?
Could it be King Yan's confession?
"How dare a son deceive his father in such a matter." Zhang Fu said with an oath.
"My father has always been serious, never pretentious, and he is a man who is upright and upright, but the guards of Yanshan are respected by King Yan, and my father is the subordinate general of King Yan, which is a nominal thing, so why should my father be annoyed."
"I hope King Yan can think so."
Zhang Yu shook his hand and stopped his son from continuing.
Just as King Yan took the initiative to let go of the left guard, he also returned it, no matter how King Yan interfered with the left guard in the future, he had already made up his mind to cooperate.
However, maybe King Yan still has some scruples, and he has not moved the left guard so far.
One is that the Son of Heaven has just died, the second is that the situation is unclear, and the third is that the left guard can't run, so why rush to do it.
It could be two or three years, or it could be three or five years.
With King Yan's bearing, he can wait patiently.
Without this forbearance, how can you suppress the three divisions of Beiping.
This character alone compares King Qin to him.
People with different personalities, faced with the same thing, will make different choices, and there will be two results.
King Qin has a hard personality, he can't bear it, he oppresses people with power, and he is hard.
Facts have proved that he is an egg, and the three divisions are stones, and the system of the imperial court in the local area has become unshakable.
The situation where the feudal king's mansion used to cover the sky with one hand no longer exists.
Those who can't see the situation clearly will end up losing.
Zhang Fu saw that his father didn't say much, but his attitude was loose, so he didn't continue to persuade him.
Father's character, to have today's attitude, is already the biggest concession, forcing his father to speak up, will only force his father to make a desperate bet.
Anyway, there is still time, and it is indeed not good to be too eager, and it is easy to give people outside the impression that they are in a hurry to change their court.
……
"Do you think that such a junior play can promote people to ride the railway?" Zhu Di felt that the eldest son ...... It's a bit whimsical.
"Your mother has been chattering a lot about today."
"Of course it works." Zhu Gaochi said.
"I'm afraid that you are so extravagant, and if the imperial history knows about it, he will impeach you." Zhu Di is undeniable.
Dignified King Yan, talking about this kind of junior travel, as a big thing, he can't let go of this face, and feels ashamed.
"That's because the imperial historians don't understand." Zhu Gaochi said the most arrogant words in the most ordinary tone.
Zhu Di's intuition is ridiculous.
The affairs of the world, and the truth that the imperial history does not understand?
The imperial examination is held every three years.
The most powerful people in the world have all arrived in the imperial court.
And the imperial history is the most powerful group of people in the imperial examination, many years of watching politics, and inspecting the world after coming out.
It can be said that you know astronomy and geography, and you know the customs and feelings of all places.
Military, civil, commercial, what's wrong with the world? At least in Zhu Di's eyes, he thinks his son has to be beaten.
"In your eyes, only you understand the truth of the world?"
That's true.
Zhu Gaochi did not refute.
If you don't dare to say it in the 16th century, but in the early 14th century, the civilization of the Ming Dynasty must be ahead of the world.
Otherwise, when Western missionaries came to Daming at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they would not have exclaimed that Daming was an ideal country.
The beginning of the seventeenth century was the Age of Discovery.
The Spanish conquistadors set foot on Luzon and vigorously proposed to conquer the Ming Dynasty with 20,000 men.
In this self-confident background, Westerners themselves took the initiative to say that the Ming Dynasty was an ideal country, which shows that it is not a lie
But Zhu Gaochi has hundreds of years of knowledge, and standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, he will definitely not say that his knowledge is not as good as that of the ancients.
"Before the development of industry, in the social environment dominated by agriculture, it was right to advocate thrift, but Beiping City was developing industry, and it was also thrifty, so who would buy goods? If you don't buy goods, how can you promote industry? ”
Industrialization leads to prosperity.
In the same way, it is necessary to drain the money bags from the hands of the people.
