Chapter 198: Dividing the Government according to Local Conditions
Ying Tianfu.
Taichangqing Huang Zicheng and the military department Shangshu Ru Yu, the contradiction between the two has become public, and the trouble is inextricable.
Ru Yu is the secretary of the Ministry of War, with greater power than Huang Zicheng and sufficient qualifications.
Huang Zicheng was born in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, accompanied by the East Palace, the way of the Pope's grandson to govern the country, and had a great influence on the prince.
Although Ru Yu is younger than Huang Zicheng, he entered the office early and took the route of Guozijian. Huang Zicheng is nine years older, but he is on the right path of the imperial examination, and he is third in the palace examination.
The two have their own advantages and disadvantages, Ru Yu, who is nine years younger, is an old-school figure, and Huang Zicheng, who is nine years older, is a new-school figure.
There were discords in all aspects of political opinions, and the attitude of the new faction towards the vassal king should be more radical, firmly supporting the theory that the vassal king misled the country, believing that the actual feudal king should be abolished.
The old school believes that the achievements of these years should not negate the contribution of the vassal king to the country, but should adopt peaceful means to collect the rights of the vassal king, so as to prevent the vassal king from becoming powerful and threatening the imperial court.
The new faction, headed by Huang Zicheng, as well as the left attendant of the military department, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru, who is raised in the local area, have a lot of power.
In a word.
The old school and the vassal king have been confronting and cooperating for many years, and have formed a tacit understanding, while the new school, which has not had much contact with the vassal king, does not recognize this tacit understanding and considers it a compromise with the vassal king.
Such as the future history, the contradiction between Ru Yu and Huang Zicheng, and even to the point that they could not be in the same house, after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, Huang Zicheng became an auxiliary minister, and Ru Yu was immediately sent to Henan.
Zhu Yunwen adopted the strategy of Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru to reduce the feudal domain, completely abolishing the real power of the feudal king, and even physically eliminating several feudal kings with high prestige, leaving no room for anything, including Zhu Di, the king of Yan.
At that time, Zhu Di really didn't think about rebellion.
His Yanshan guards were transferred to Daning by the imperial court, and the officials and generals sent took over the guards in Beiping, and Zhu Di only had a few hundred guards left, and Zhu Di did not resist in this process, pretending to be crazy and stupid to save his life.
It wasn't until an official from the Beiping Political Division reported to him that the imperial court had decided to arrest him and go to Yingtianfu, and if he resisted, he would be killed.
After retreating step by step, under the most unfavorable situation, Zhu Di decided to rebel in a desperate position.
Yao Guangxiao returned from Yingtianfu and brought back the news of the discord among the courtiers, and at this time, the imperial court's will for Jinzhou and Fuzhou was also issued.
Zhu Gaochi was originally an old impression and was accustomed to the political atmosphere in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
The vassal king must first bribe the eunuch to inherit the title, and the military general must bribe the official, otherwise he will not be able to inherit it.
It seems that he was wrong, the officials in the early Ming Dynasty, the vassal king had the possibility of winning over, such as the official reporting to Zhu Di.
In the face of the power competition between the vassal kings and the military generals, the officials have not yet reached a consensus and formed a unified confrontation front.
"The matter of food stamps, can there be any movement in Yingtianfu?" Zhu Di was the first to ask, his face was serious and worried.
The matter of food stamps has been pressing on his heart for a long time, for fear of provoking the rebuke of his father.
Yao Guangxiao rushed back to Beiping from Yingtianfu, all the way, although his face was haggard, he still rushed to the palace as soon as possible.
"The matter of food stamps has been played by Yushi Ye Xixian, but this matter has not caused any movement, and the saint has not replied."
"That's good." Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously. "Why is he playing? Shouldn't it be Yan Dut. ”
"That's a good thing."
Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "It shows that Yan Fantai's attitude tends to be old-fashioned, and he has a certain amount of goodwill towards the palace, and he will not grasp the slightest trivial matter and stick to the palace." ”
Zhu Di did not refute and agreed with Yao Guangxiao's opinion.
Zhu Gaochi on the side, seeing that Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao both thought so about Yan Dut, he had a new idea.
Yan Yu's performance, and after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he adopted the policy of cutting the feudal domain of the new faction, and did not trust this person, and replaced him with a new political envoy.
Then you can make a fuss out of it.
According to the industrial theory of later generations, the stage of industrial development, in the last step is to drive agriculture, Beiping has already had the prototype of industry, to the point of promoting agriculture.
Agricultural matters must be supported by the Chief Executive.
The development of agriculture in Beiping was tantamount to strengthening the strength of the royal rebellion.
The corners of Zhu Gaochi's mouth curled.
Zhu Di saw Zhu Gaochi's smile in the afterglow, and his intuition became a headache, and he didn't know what the boss had to do again.
The boss planned one after another, without a moment's pause, as if he was tireless and happy, and in the end it was all for him to bear.
Zhu Di was a little tired.
From the previous Liaodong war to the Qianzhuang incident, one after another, Zhu Di really wanted to take a breath and live a stable life for a few days.
"Boss, take a breath." Zhu Di took the initiative to say.
Yao Guangxiao was stunned, he didn't know what the prince said, Zhu Gaochi was also startled, how did Zhu Di know his thoughts?
Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "The imperial grandfather has been diligent for decades, and has never stopped for a moment, and the father has taught his son many times to learn from the imperial grandfather, and the son has followed his father's teachings and is not tired at all." ”
Zhu Di couldn't help but touch his chin, feeling helpless.
"My son's idea will definitely make Yan Fantai very happy." Zhu Gaochi said confidently.
Zhu Di was noncommittal: "You talk about it first." ”
"There are 136 counties in 8 prefectures, 37 prefectures, and a population of only 2.6 million."
"In Huguang and Zhejiang, the local government has developed water conservancy, opened up wasteland, and developed countless acres of fields."
"The Beiping government cannot imitate the efforts of the southern provinces to open up wasteland, because the people have to supply the border guards, which leads to the lack of strength."
"The increase of the Beiping Guard Station was established on vacant land and wasteland was cleared on wasteland."
"But the guard station has to be responsible for both the military and the tuntian, and it is not easy to open up the wasteland, not only can it not be self-sufficient, but it also needs supplies from the south."
"In particular, the Kaiping Zhuwei, the Daning Zhuwei, the Liaodong Zhuwei, and dozens of guards, most of them need supplies from the south, from armor, weapons, gunpowder, to grain, cloth, and salt, all of which are inseparable from the interior."
Zhu Gaochi talked freely.
In the past two years, he has not wasted any time, not only established China Heavy Industry, but also is very familiar with the military and political system of Beiping.
"Unlike the mainland, the main force in the development of the northern parallel provinces is the guard, that is, the military field, which has nothing to do with the government."
"The establishment of the 23 Wei and 5 independent institutes in the northern parallel province is all based on open land and development of acres, and there is still a lot of wasteland in more water conservancy barren areas."
Zhu Di's expression became serious.
No matter how the boss instills industrial theory in him, when it comes to the matter of the acre, he will still treat it as the most important thing.
He had already guessed the Boss's idea, and the Boss had previously told him that by pumping water from a steam engine, he could build an aqueduct.
Water from the river was channeled into the canal, and the fields were irrigated through the canal, turning the wasteland into a treasured land.
Like Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao also guessed Zhu Gaochi's thoughts.
Cooperate with the government to build water canals and develop fertile land.
Yan Fantai must have agreed to this matter, and with such a huge political achievement, no official could refuse this temptation.
Relying on this benefit, is Yan Fantai embarrassed to hinder the palace?
It is definitely not possible to do without political achievements, the official hat is the most important, Yan Yu is originally an old school, different from the new school, and has the conditions to cooperate with the palace.
"Does Father agree?" After explaining the thoughts in his heart, he obviously saw Zhu Di's expression, but Zhu Gaochi still asked deliberately.
Zhu Di glared, no big or small, joking with Lao Tzu.
Zhu Gaochi smirked a few times, and accepted it when he saw it.
China Heavy Industries provided steam engines free of charge, and the government stopped other labor this year and devoted itself to digging ditches.
After learning about it, Yan was blunt, and he did not hesitate to ask the imperial court to support the construction of acres of land by the Beiping government, in accordance with the old practice of Huguang, Zhejiang.
This kind of thing, the imperial court will naturally not refuse.
In Beiping's Lugou River, Baoding's Baigou River, Yishui River, Zhulong River, Zhending Mansion, Shunde Mansion, Guangping Mansion, Hejian Mansion, Yongping Mansion.
The eight prefectures were mobilized, organized the people to dig ditches, built pumping stations at the water source, and used the characteristics of water to flow into the ditch through the canal to irrigate the fields.
This plan is the same as the construction of water conservancy and irrigation in the early days of the later era, and it also relies on manpower to dig countless ditches.
However, Zhu Gaochi naturally knows that today's management system is not as good as that of later generations, and it cannot reach the level of later generations.
As long as you reach a few points, that's a big deal.
It doesn't seem easy, but Zhu Gaochi has a reference and knows how to do it.
The Hongqi Canal built in the 60s of the later generations did not have any modern equipment or pumping equipment, and it was in the Taihang Mountains, and there were more than 1,000 mountains passing through, which were still perfectly completed.
There are many mountains in the Miyun area of Beiping, and the terrain is more flat in the south, it is an endless plain, and the geographical advantage is 100 times stronger than the Hongqi Canal.
Therefore, Zhu Gaochi put forward a request, according to the idea of the Hongqi Canal, to make the best use of the characteristics of water, to flow into the ditch with its own weight, and to irrigate countless acres of fields.
In the end, China Heavy Industry sent skilled craftsmen to cooperate with the craftsmen recruited by the government to survey the land in Bafu.
In combination with a pumping steam engine, a pumping station is built at the water source.
In addition, in order to support the government's tuntian, Zhonghua Heavy Industries sold shovels, pickaxes, hammers, steel drills and other tools to the government at cost price.
Zhu Gaochi doesn't plan to make money in this big deal, just feed the workers.
For such a large project, it took only two months to prepare for it.
"The little prince's methods are old and spicy, and they are really wonderful." Yao Guangxiao smiled meaningfully, and Zhu Gaochi asked funny, "How wonderful." ”
"The government received the favor of the palace, not only will it not stop the palace from acting, but it will also invest its energy in building ditches, and it will not take care of the palace."
"Hahaha, the master is really a master, and no one can hide it." Zhu Gaochi smiled proudly, find something to do with the government, and there will be no such bullshit when you are busy.
Zhu Gaochi put away his smile and said softly: "The world is bustling, all for profit; The soil in the world is all for profit. ”
"Confronting the government is the next policy, because there is a steady stream of science and technology, remove one Yan Dut, and there are ten Yan Dull behind, only to find common interests and turn enemies into friends, it is the best policy."
"Good." Yao Guangxiao showed admiration.
