Beiping was the commander of the embassy.

The yamen was set up in Beiping City.

In the city of Beiping, in addition to the Yanwang Mansion Changshi Mansion, Beiping Cheng announced the political envoy department, and Beiping commanded the envoy department, according to the inspection of several large yamen.

There are also Peng Chengwei, Jeju Wei, Jiyang Wei, Yanshan Left Guard, Yanshan Zhongwei, Yanshan Right Guard, Yanshan Left Guard, Yanshan Middle Guard, Yanshan Right Guard, Yongqing Left Guard, Daxing Left Guard, and Yongqing Right Guard.

The guards of the twelve guards are all set up in Beiping City, and the guards are stationed around Beiping Mansion, like the stars and the moon.

Public housing.

Beiping commanded the envoys to command the affairs, Zhang Jing was on duty today, and with the king of Yan out of Liao, he took away many generals.

Therefore, there is nothing to do at present, Zhang Jing is going to go to Goolan to drink tea and listen to the play after work.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

Zhang Jing frowned, ignored it, and looked at the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hand as usual, which was circulated from the hands of the bookseller in Yingtianfu.

His friend entrusted it to him, and after taking a look, he couldn't put it down, and became a plaything to pass the time in his spare time.

As a result, the noise outside became more and more intense, and Zhang Jing couldn't continue to ignore it, so he went out angrily and scolded loudly.

"What can't be said well, dare to make noise in the yamen, what kind of system."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Jing felt a little regretful in his heart.

In the crowd, he saw the officials of the Changshi Mansion, as if this person was the party to the quarrel, and the object of the quarrel was the official of the capital division.

"Zhang Gong, this person is unreasonable, he came to ask for our company's old year archive book, and his subordinates rejected him, but he forced his subordinates to take it out."

The man said aggrievedly, and people's eyes were all looking at Zhang Jing.

When the officials of the Changshi Mansion saw that the person who came was a high-ranking official, they were afraid in their hearts, and they only wanted to retreat.

Zhang Jing stared at the man and said dissatisfiedly: "All ministries have rules, how dare you make trouble, although the prince is not in Beiping, do you dare to disobey the rules." ”

The quarrelsome official looked at the official proudly.

The official was helpless, stepped forward and arched his hand, restrained his tone, and said kindly: "I am under the order of the little prince." ”

Some quietly change color, others don't.

What is the little prince, that's the name of the villain outside, because the eldest son of Yan Wangfu has not yet been awarded the position of the prince.

And King Yan has to abide by the rules, not to mention the eldest son of King Yan.

Although the prince of Beiping is the largest at the moment, they each perform their own duties and have their own charters, where can they meddle at will.

"You go back."

Zhang Jing said.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he said: "This matter is not in accordance with the rules, but outside the rules, it is nothing more than human affection. ”

The officer was dumbfounded.

After Zhang Jing finished speaking, he ignored everyone and turned around and returned to the public house.

The people below, the level of contact is low, and they can't see the direction of the sky clearly, where do they know his suffering.

It didn't take long.

The official walked in aggrievedly.

"Gong Zhang, what is the matter with finding subordinates?"

"You sit down first."

The official stood stubbornly.

Zhang Jing was not angry, and comforted: "I know that you were wronged just now, can you still be angry with me." ”

Hearing this soft remark, there were steps, and the official sat down embarrassedly.

"It's not that the subordinates are stubborn, it's that the Changshi Mansion is unreasonable, is it possible that the official documents exchanged by our side in the future will have to go through the Changshi Mansion again."

The official explained the behavior just now.

In his opinion, this is the palace crossing the boundary, if it is a convention, then the Beiping capital command envoy will not become the subordinate yamen of the Changshi Mansion.

"This kind of situation has existed before, but at that time, the Changshi Mansion was still the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was a charter, and everyone acted according to the rules."

"Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion has been reduced to the Changshi Mansion, why should it ride on the head of our yamen."

The official spoke, Zhang Jing did not interrupt, showed a listening attitude, and let the official have a good time.

After saying that, the official's temper was gone.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingcai explained: "There are some things you don't understand, but you are diligent in your work, and you have done a good job in the errands I have explained, so I am willing to mention you." ”

The official was stunned, he didn't know how to answer, could it be that he obeyed the rules, but he still did something wrong.

"You know about the big blue jade case the year before last." Zhang Jing's eyes showed seriousness.

When the official heard that the big case involving Lan Yu was involved, he suddenly became vigilant, did not dare to say more, and sat up straight honestly.

Zhang Jing relied on the Blue Rain case, a large number of martial arts were swept away, and he took the opportunity to take the position and was promoted to become a servant.

Therefore, I am extremely sensitive to the political environment in recent years.

Before the Lanyu case and after the Lanyu case, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies changed a group of officials, and the change was that the status of the two was different.

In the past, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies had real power, and a large number of high-ranking nobles held it, but now the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has much less real power than in the past, but it has become a means for the saints to give a large number of martial arts children and win people's hearts.

At the same time, a relatively large number of officials from the Governor's Office of the Five Armies were transferred to various places to serve as officials of the Metropolitan Division.

In other words.

The governor's offices of the five armed forces were hollowed out, their status declined, and military merit gradually ceased to be the only criterion for promotion, but continued to appear in the form of shadow officials, special awards, and ordinary military generals serving as senior governors.

Zhang Jing has already seen the loneliness of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in the future.

As an important yamen in the imperial court's control of local military power, it lost its previous role, and there were two places that benefited, one was the military department and the other was the feudal prince's mansion.

Therefore, Zhang Jing was reluctant to fight with the vassal king's mansion, because this kind of behavior was tantamount to going against the general trend and had been defeated, if it weren't for the fact that he was on duty today and was contaminated with meat, in order to avoid future troubles, he would not have paid attention to it.

After convincing the official in a few words, Zhang Jing didn't say much, some things are not easy to say, and it is easy to cause trouble if they are spread out.

Shizifu.

"Zhang Jing?" Zhu Gaochi said.

"Back to the little prince, this person said so, he will let people send it in person, so his subordinates came back empty-handed."

"Okay, I see, you go down."

Jin Zhong, who was waiting for the official to retire and discuss things with Zhu Gaochi, couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that this person is a smart person." ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said worriedly: "Maybe it's a pretext." ”

"It shouldn't be like this, this kind of behavior, wouldn't it offend the little prince ruthlessly, and the official dispute turned into a personal vendetta."

"That's good."

Zhang Jing is not famous, anyway, Zhu Gaochi has no impression, it may or may not be recorded in history.

But whether it is recorded or not, there is no splash.

However, Zhu Gaochi will not underestimate anyone.

In the past few years of working in Beiping, there are no fools in the people I have met, and even ordinary people have their own wisdom and know how to survive.

is like the widow who worked as a handyman in the railway engineering team, and later dared to block her way to complain, and somehow entered the Grand Theater, which left a lot of impressions on Zhu Gaochi.

Pulling the big two and a half sons with one hand, the wind and water mixed between the various departments, on the ability of tenacity, Zhu Gaochi was willing to bow to the wind.

It can only be said that it is a matter of opportunity.

"It's not easy to do something."

Jin Zhong heard Zhu Gaochi's sigh, but he didn't think that the little prince was moaning without illness, and it was difficult to do things in any position.

Even if it is a saint, it is also difficult.

"Yao Guangxiao has already replied." Jin Zhong didn't answer, and went back to the point directly, "According to his inquiry in Yingtianfu and his speculation, the sage does have the idea of immigrating to enrich the outside world. ”

"If the King of Jin goes well, he will immigrate from the mainland to Tuntian in the later period, and the court has begun to arrange and find out the civil situation."

"It's the same over there for King Yan."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi said seriously: "Since the development of Beiping, there are sufficient material resources, but what is lacking is population. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a saying that the north was trapped in service and the south was trapped in grain.

The lack of population in the north and the heavy responsibility of frontier defense caused people to suffer from forced labor, while the south had a large population, so people suffered from food taxes.

Speeding up migration from the interior to the north will not only strengthen Beiping's strength, but also alleviate the plight of both the north and the south.

"But the prince is not in Beiping." Jin Zhong is embarrassed.

"Starting from both sides, on the one hand, we will first find a suitable breakthrough, ask immigrants from the mainland to expand the border guards, and send them to Liaodong for my father to play."

"On the one hand, we will negotiate with the Chief Secretary and ask them to invite immigrants from the mainland to reclaim wasteland, and they will do it at the same time."

Zhu Gaochi said confidently.

This method did not come out of nowhere.

Twenty-five years before Hongwu, the nature of immigrants was mostly political immigrants, and from the perspective of sergeants, a large number of militias in the interior were relocated and the number of guards in the north was increased.

Since the twenty-first year of Hongwu, because of the government's years of governance in the north, a good foundation has been laid.

opened the curtain of economic immigration, for example, Liu Jiugao of Hubu Langzhong wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang that year, saying that there were few people in Hebei and other places, and suggested that the people of Shandong and Shanxi should be moved to Hebei and other places for cultivation.

Only in the Hongwu Dynasty, in Shanxi alone, immigrants organized by the government had a net outflow of millions of people.

Thereupon.

The legend of the migration of the big locust tree, which prevailed in more than a dozen northern provinces, was born.

In Beiping at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, if you count the Northern Parallel Division, the land area alone was more than twice that of Beijing in later generations.

Coupled with the current development of industry in Beiping, the economic level driven by it, and the promotion of tools such as steam engines, it has become easier to reclaim fields.

At present, the population of the whole territory of Beiping has not exceeded 3 million, which is far from reaching the carrying capacity of the land.

It can be seen from all aspects that there is no obstacle to immigration, and Zhu Gaochi does not think that Zhu Yuanzhang will refuse.

"With the Chief Minister, please get in touch with them and find out what they think, and it's best to reach an agreement."

"It shouldn't be difficult."

Last year, the Beiping government and China Heavy Industry cooperated to reclaim acres of land, and both sides reaped benefits, so Jin Zhong was confident.

"Even so, the attitude that should be made must be done, to give face, but also to give yourself face."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

The sedan chair is carried by everyone, and one person eats alone, it will definitely not go far, and only by giving up the benefits of profit is the way to the long-term.
