Chapter 123: The Traditional Crafts of the Old Zhu Family
Li Qing frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid something will happen if it goes on like this, and the migration of the people is still in full swing, which really makes them ......"
"If I take one step back today, he will take ten steps or a hundred steps back tomorrow." Zhu Di interrupted Li Qing, "As long as I reign for a day, I will never let them make a fuss." ”
Li Qing was silent, Zhu Di was not unreasonable, but under the continuous high-pressure persecution, in exchange for fierce resistance.
At that time, the backlash will be fierce, and I am afraid it will be difficult to resist.
Now that Zhu Di is still alive, they can't bear it anymore, what if they die?
Doctor Jiangnan Shi hated Zhu Di much more than Zhu Yuanzhang, and the two sides seemed to have torn their faces.
From the construction of the weaving bureau, to the West, and then to the relocation of the capital; In addition, the national policy of clearing acres of land and spreading the land into acres, as well as the implementation of the national policy of moving the people from the south to the north, has benefited the country and the people greatly.
However, the state and the common people benefited, but the interests of the gentry were seriously reduced.
- The family has endured to the limit!
Li Qing wanted to persuade Zhu Di to be a little gentler, but he didn't know where to start.
Now the two sides are like a tug-of-war game, whoever compromises first will lose a mess, it is a game, there must be winners and losers, and the consequence of persisting all the time will only be the 'rope' breaking, and both sides will lose.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let the people trade freely?" Li Qing said tentatively.
"!" Zhu Di shook his head resolutely, "Believe it or not, once the sea ban is opened, the rich gentry in Jiangnan will definitely change rice to mulberry in a big way, and at that time, the grain will inevitably shrink significantly, and the displaced people will be everywhere." ”
"That's... I'll say two words. Zhu Zhanji spoke.
The two turned their heads to look at him.
Zhu Zhanji cleared his throat and said: "I think ah, it's better to block it than to sparse it, instead of blindly banning the sea, it is better to directly open the sea ban, this time, the rich gentry make money, but the people can also benefit from it;
Such as silk, porcelain, spices, furniture...... Workers are needed, whether they plant mulberry or rice, the rich gentry themselves do not cultivate the land, they are all planted by tenants and long-term workers.
Even if it is changed to planting mulberry, the people still have a job, and they will not lose their livelihood. ”
"Haha...... Well said, don't say it again in the future. Zhu Di looked sneering, "Let me ask you, how to solve the problem of food?" Do you really think that the people of the south moving north can change the pattern of the Ming Dynasty?
Suhu is ripe, the world is full!
How can the status of the granary of the world in Jiangnan be easily shaken? ”
"Yes." The little fat man walked in a hurry, followed by four small yellow doors, carrying two large boxes.
Zhu Di's gaze shifted and he looked at Hao Da'er, and said with a strange yin and yang aura:
"Oh? Is it? ”
Xiao Fat nodded stubbornly, and Xiao Huangmen put down the box where the music was stored, and retreated numbly.
"Tell me about it!"
Zhu Di reclined in his chair and stared at Da'er with interest.
Xiaopang knows his father's urine, don't look at Lao Tzu's amiable face, but as long as he doesn't say a good word, it will be a storm immediately.
"Father, the planting of Yongle beans has been a great success, and the yield per mu is as high as 500 catties per season." Xiaopang didn't talk nonsense, and directly talked about the facts, "The yield of Yongle rice per mu is not less than that of wheat, after the wheat harvest in several provinces of mountains and rivers, you can abandon soybeans and plant Yongle rice instead, and the grain output will be greatly increased, plus the development of Liaodong ......"
Xiaopang calculated and said seriously: "As long as the national policy of moving the southern people to the north continues, and vigorously reclaim wasteland, at the latest five years, the center of gravity of the Ming granary will be transferred to the north." ”
"Five years, five years ......" Zhu Di showed a trace of bitterness on his face, can he still hold out for five years?
This time, he felt more and more overwhelmed, and even the heart was powerless to ride a horse, and he was afraid that he would not be able to see that day.
"That's right!" Zhu Di sighed.
Zhu Zhanji also said that it was a precursor to his grandfather's anger, and hurriedly turned his head to look at his father: "Don't talk about it in the future." ”
Chubby: ?
Li Qing: ??
Zhu Di: ???
The hall was silent for a moment, and Zhu Di and Xiaopang said in unison: "Get out!" ”
“…… Okay, okay. "Zhu Zhanji's numb is dripping.
Zhu Di put down Erlang's legs, leaned forward, and his expression became serious, "Even if it is really as you said, the granary can be transferred in five years, but what should I do now?"
I don't have to go on a killing spree, but if I don't, the rich gentry will inevitably intensify and have no fear. ”
"But if there is a large-scale killing, the migration of the southern people to the north will definitely be blocked, or even shelved." Chubby disagreed.
Zhu Di snorted coldly, "If you don't open the killing ring, the southerners will be hindered from moving north, and the consequences of not killing will be more serious, and you will be tender in political matters." ”
This wave, Li Qing stands for Zhu Di!
He also felt that he must not back down on major matters of principle.
If you retreat, he will enter!
Xiaopang insisted: "Father, what we lack most now is time, and after a few years, the inherent pattern can be broken." ”
"Boil? How to boil? Zhu Di snorted coldly, "At present, they dare to openly disobey the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and even the Han people pretend to be Japanese robbers and rob the people, how do you let me tolerate it?" ”
Chubby opened his mouth, speechless.
So he looked at Li Qing, "Li Qing, do you have a good plan?" ”
Zhu Di also looked at the eyes of the big man and said, "Do you have any plans?" ”
Li Qing said in a deep voice: "What the emperor said is right, in such a major matter, there must be no compromise, if what the commander of Dongchang said is true, it must be handled strictly, quickly, and never tolerated." ”
Seeing that Xiaopang's face was anxious, Li Qing's tone eased, "However, what the prince said is also very reasonable, what Daming lacks most now is time, if you survive this while, you will be able to reform and innovate, if you can't get through, you will continue the vicious circle,
Based on this, the national policy of moving south to the north must not stop! ”
"Less and less muddy." Zhu Di didn't have a good breath and said, "Otherwise, I will send you to be with Jian Yi." ”
"......," Li Qing's face was full of black lines, "What the minister means is that the smuggling of thieves will not be tolerated, but for the sake of the national policy of the southern people moving north, it can be implemented forever, and there can be a slight compromise in other places." ”
"For example?"
"Open the sea ban!" Li Qingdao said, "Actually, what the imperial grandson said is right, it is very necessary to open the sea. ”
After all, the monopoly of interests is not a long-term solution, and Zhu Di can barely suppress it during his reign, but if he collapses, the national policy of going to the West will definitely be overthrown.
If there is money, everyone can make money, so that the officials of the family can get some benefits, so that the national policy can be implemented well.
In the Song Dynasty, maritime trade was concentrated in the hands of scholars, but in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang cut it all and directly banned maritime trade; Zhu Di was even more ruthless, and he had a profit monopoly, and in order to make a lot of money at sea, he cut off more than half of the sources of interests of these families.
Silk is done by the government-run weaving bureau, the tea court is monopolized, and the porcelain organ kiln is made......
It's a bit unreasonable to eat meat by yourself and not let people drink a little soup.
Those who eat alone have no good end since ancient times!
Li Qingzheng said: "If the city is passed, then Kou will turn into a business; If the city is banned, the business will turn to Kou;
The benefits of maritime trade are so great that it is not uncommon for the families to raise grass and even pretend to be robbed of the coastal people for the sake of profit;
If it is kept banned, the pirates will be inexhaustible and killed! ”
Zhu Di frowned, digesting Li Qing's words, and after a long time, he nodded lightly: "Makes sense!" ”
"Father is wise." Xiaopang hurriedly followed the sycophants and said happily, "In this way, Da Ming will definitely be able to step to a new level, Father Emperor Shengming." ”
"Wait a minute." Zhu Di glanced at him, "The sea ban can be opened, but after the transfer of the world's granary, rashly opening the sea will do more harm than good, and the sea can only be opened on the premise of ensuring the people's rations." ”
Li Qing arched his hand and said: "The emperor is wise, since the implementation of the national policy of spreading the land into the mu, the population growth rate has been much faster, and the food needs of the people has also increased;
If it is for the sake of profit, the people will go hungry and the population will decrease, it will become putting the cart before the horse. ”
Zhu Di nodded.
Xiaopang also agrees with Li Qing's point of view, but ......
"Father, since then, the question has returned to the original point, how to ensure the continuation of the southerners' northward migration?"
Zhu Di frowned and looked at Li Qing, "Do you have a plan?" ”
"Yes!" Li Qing nodded decisively.
"What?"
Li Qing smiled slightly: "Draw cakes!" ”
"You can let the rumors out first and give the gentry a thought, so that not only will the side effects of dealing with thieves be eliminated, but also ensure that no one will interfere with the national policy of the southerners moving north." Li Qing smiled, "How about this plan?" ”
"Not bad!" Zhu Di has a positive attitude.
Painting cakes is the traditional craft of Lao Zhu's family, Lao Zhu plays with thieves, and the fourth child is also holding a handle.
For Zhu Di, this matter is as easy as eating and drinking tea.
With the predetermined plan, Zhu Di finally had a smiling face, Xiaopang relaxed, and the smell of gunpowder in the hall disappeared in an instant, as if he was a father and a son.
Taking advantage of the fourth child's happiness, Li Qing took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, this time the case is investigated, can you give Yu Qian a promotion?" ”
"I can't." Zhu Di shook his head.
"Why?"
"He's too aggressive." Zhu Di said, "This person still needs more precipitation, he is a talent, and it is precisely because of this that he needs to be sharpened and sharpened more, at least I will not give him a promotion." ”
After a pause, "Gao Chi, you can't be promoted to his official." ”
"Why?" Xiaopang was puzzled, "Father, didn't you say that he was a talent?" ”
Zhu Di glanced at him and said lightly: "Leave it to Zhanji." ”
Chubby: "......"
Li Qing: "......"
After chatting a few words, Zhu Di ordered someone to open the box and began to check his son's 'homework', Li Qing was bored to stay, so he gave up.
As soon as he left the palace gate, Zhu Zhanji greeted him with a concerned expression: "Is it still noisy inside?" ”
Don't you have long ears...... Li Qing shook his head: "Father is kind and filial piety." ”
"That's good." Zhu Zhanji was completely relieved, and hooked up with Li Qing, "I'll go to your house to eat today." ”
Li Qing glanced at him up and down, "Just empty-handed?" ”
"Isn't it?" Zhu Zhanji's face was hurt, "Our friendship is not worth a meal." ”
"That's not really, didn't we bet on who would kill the most enemies before?" Li Qingdao said, "The fact is that I killed more than you, and you lost me a hundred taels of gold." ”
"Then you took my spear and said you would teach me two tricks." Zhu Zhanji was not convinced.
"I didn't say no, but you have to give money first."
"......" Zhu Zhanji's face was full of helplessness, "Is money important or am I important?" ”
"I love gold!" Li Qing waved his hand and walked out without looking back.
"You wait for me." Zhu Zhanji quickly caught up and whispered, "Uncle Qing, how did you keep them from arguing?" ”
"It's nothing, it's recommended to open the sea ban." Li Qing continued walking.
Zhu Zhanji was stunned, and then said angrily: "You will prostitute ......"
Seeing Li Qing walking away, he hurriedly followed and added: "Steal my ideas." ”
